After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 62

Cheng Jianli gave her a look that clearly said, “Are you okay?”

Jiang Muyan’s face instantly fell. “Teacher Cheng, you don’t want to help me?” she pouted unhappily.

Cheng Jianli paused her writing. Her slender, jade-white fingers appeared especially long and well-defined under the desk lamp’s glow.

Frowning slightly, Cheng Jianli said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help. Don’t you think this action would be inappropriate between us?”

“But it’s just a kiss,” Jiang Muyan whined. “You’re being stingy.”

Cheng Jianli thought for a moment. “If I kiss you today, what should I do if someone else asks me to kiss them tomorrow?”

“What?!” Jiang Muyan froze in shock. “Teacher Cheng, kissing is important! You can’t just go around kissing people!”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

It’s not like she’d actually go around kissing people.

Jiang Muyan added worriedly, “You absolutely mustn’t kiss anyone else, or they might misunderstand.”

“Exactly,” Cheng Jianli said. “So I can’t kiss you either. Something this important shouldn’t be done casually.”

Jiang Muyan opened her mouth, realizing she’d trapped herself. Frustrated, she ruffled her hair and muttered, “But I really want to differentiate!”

“What does that have to do with differentiation?” Cheng Jianli asked. “Kissing you won’t make you differentiate.”

Jiang Muyan explained seriously, “Because the salesperson at the omega specialty store told me today that ordinary people might differentiate early if stimulated. That’s why I wanted you to kiss me.”

Cheng Jianli frowned. “…So you only wanted me to kiss you to differentiate?”

Jiang Muyan nodded firmly.

Cheng Jianli simply said, “Oh,” and fell silent.

The air grew still for two seconds before Jiang Muyan scratched her head in confusion. “Teacher Cheng, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Cheng Jianli replied.

Jiang Muyan said foolishly, “But you seem upset.”

“Not at all,” Cheng Jianli said nonchalantly. “I just thought you were serious.”

Jiang Muyan blinked. “Serious about what?”

Cheng Jianli smiled. “About actually wanting me to kiss you.”

“!!!” Jiang Muyan immediately whispered nervously, “I do want that.”

“Then keep wanting,” Cheng Jianli said.

Jiang Muyan: “???”

The room fell quiet again. Jiang Muyan sprawled across the desk, sighing dramatically as she fiddled with an eraser and then a compass anything but her homework.

After a while, Cheng Jianli glanced at her idleness. “Aren’t you going to do your problems?”

Jiang Muyan said gravely, “Until this differentiation issue is resolved, I can’t focus on homework.”

“How do you want to resolve it?” Cheng Jianli asked.

Jiang Muyan turned shy. “Teacher Cheng, you’re teasing me.”

Hearing this, Cheng Jianli felt Jiang Muyan was simply trying to take liberties with her. She smiled faintly. “If you want stimulation, it’s actually very simple.”

Jiang Muyan perked up. “Really?”

Cheng Jianli continued smiling. “Your math homework tonight will be six papers instead. That should be stimulating enough for you.”

Jiang Muyan: “!!!”

Damn it, she should have known.

Cheng Jianli feigned confusion. “You still haven’t differentiated? I thought this would be quite stimulating for you.”

Jiang Muyan groaned in agony. “No more, no more! I’ll do my homework, okay?”

Cheng Jianli resumed her indifferent expression: “Hurry up and write.”

Jiang Muyan meekly responded with an “Oh” and quickly started on her homework.

Three hours later, Jiang Muyan finished her holiday assignments along with a math test paper. Exhausted, she collapsed onto the pristine white carpet and sighed, “Finally done. ”

Cheng Jianli took her work to check. Most of the answers were correct, and her math score remained stable at around 125.

Cheng Jianli meticulously reviewed each question. In the meantime, Jiang Muyan ran downstairs to eat some grapes. By the time she returned, Cheng Jianli had already copied all the incorrect answers into a mistake notebook, leaving Jiang Muyan only to rework the problems below.

“Teacher Cheng, want some grapes?” Jiang Muyan held up an exquisite porcelain plate. “Uncle Liu bought some today they’re super sweet. There are purple and green ones. Which do you prefer?”

The grapes were crystal clear, droplets of water sliding down their pristine surfaces.

“Not now,” Cheng Jianli set down her red pen. “You made the same mistakes today that you did yesterday.”

Jiang Muyan blinked. “Really? Let me see.”

She walked over and saw it was a function fill-in-the-blank question functions had always been her weak point. “Can I fix it after eating the grapes?” she asked.

Cheng Jianli replied, “No. I’ll explain it first.”

Reluctantly, Jiang Muyan set the fruit aside and sat next to Cheng Jianli. As Cheng Jianli explained the problem, her expression was serious, a few strands of hair falling against her snow-white cheek. Her clear, calm eyes were faintly focused, her pretty red lips moving as she spoke. Jiang Muyan, hopelessly distracted, stared in a daze.

Noticing her gaze, Cheng Jianli asked, puzzled, “Did you understand?”

Jiang Muyan snapped back to reality. “Huh?”

Cheng Jianli propped her chin on her hand her fingers as pale as her face. “Why are you staring at me?”

With utter sincerity, Jiang Muyan said, “Teacher Cheng, your lips look so pretty.”

Such blunt words could only come from Jiang Muyan. Cheng Jianli turned her head away and murmured, “…Could you focus on studying instead?”

Jiang Muyan pouted. “I am focused. I even scored 125 in math.”

Cheng Jianli said, “You need at least 140 to get into C University’s math program.”

Instead of being discouraged, Jiang Muyan grinned. “Then I’ll just work harder!”

“Mm,” Cheng Jianli nodded. “Stop looking at me and pay attention to the problem.”

Once all the mistakes were reviewed, Jiang Muyan picked up the grapes again. “Teacher Cheng, want some now?”

“I’ll pass,” Cheng Jianli said. “I’m going to sleep soon, I don’t want to eat anything.”

Jiang Muyan didn’t push her and finished the entire plate herself before taking it back downstairs.

When she returned, Cheng Jianli had already left her room to get ready for bed.

Standing at Cheng Jianli’s door, Jiang Muyan asked softly, “Teacher Cheng, do you want me to help you with the new suppressant you bought today?”

Cheng Jianli was just smoothing out her bedsheets. “No need. I can do it myself.”

Jiang Muyan asked, “How long will this suppressant last?”

Cheng Jianli thought for a moment. “About three days.”

Jiang Muyan’s eyes widened. “That means it’ll wear off right during the sports festival, it’s the day after tomorrow.” She sighed again. “Ah, if only I could present too.”

Cheng Jianli said, “Why are you still hung up on that?”

Jiang Muyan said happily, “Since our compatibility is so high, you’re bound to love my pheromones. Then you won’t need to take suppressants every day.”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

A flush crept up her cheeks. “That’s unnecessary. The current arrangement is fine.”

But Jiang Muyan was eager to try. “Why don’t you stimulate me? Maybe I’ll really differentiate then.”

Cheng Jianli raised her eyes. “You mean kissing you?”

“Exactly!” Jiang Muyan said excitedly.

“Would that actually work?” Cheng Jianli asked.

Jiang Muyan rubbed the back of her head. “I think so.”

After a moment’s thought, Cheng Jianli asked calmly, “What if another girl kissed you? Would that also stimulate you?”

“Of course not!” Jiang Muyan replied without hesitation.

A faint emotion stirred in Cheng Jianli’s heart. She asked softly, “Why?”

Jiang Muyan answered earnestly, “Because only our pheromone compatibility reaches 99%. Others aren’t compatible with me.”

Cheng Jianli wasn’t sure what answer she’d been waiting for, but hearing this, she felt a slight melancholy. “No, think of another method. I want to sleep now.”

Jiang Muyan hadn’t expected Cheng Jianli’s sudden change. She could only say, “Alright, rest early then.”

Cheng Jianli lay down with her back turned as Jiang Muyan closed the door behind her.

Outside, Jiang Muyan felt puzzled and wronged. Had Cheng Jianli been upset just now? But wasn’t her differentiation all for her sake? Why would Cheng Jianli be unhappy?

Her thoughts were soon interrupted by an incoming call.

Jiang Muyan swiped to answer. “Hello?”

Luo Jiajia’s cheerful voice came through. “Jiang Muyan, what are you up to?”

“Jiajia?” Jiang Muyan looked at the screen in confusion. “This isn’t your number.”

“It’s my brother’s phone,” Luo Jiajia explained.

“Oh,” Jiang Muyan said. “Why are you calling so late? What’s up?”

“You know there’s a gathering after the sports meet, right?” Luo Jiajia said.

“Of course,” Jiang Muyan replied.

“Hehe, Classes 1 and 2 are holding it together. I’m specially informing you,” Luo Jiajia said excitedly. “It’s at a night market or something super lively. You can’t miss it.”

Jiang Muyan knew about the night market. It was always packed in the evenings, full of vibrant energy with beer, barbecue, hotpot skewers everything you could want.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there,” Jiang Muyan assured.

Luo Jiajia giggled. “Remember to bring Cheng Jianli along.”

Jiang Muyan hesitated. “But I don’t know if Teacher Cheng would want to come.”

“What’s the problem? You’re together all the time. If you come, she’ll definitely come too,” Luo Jiajia said confidently.

Jiang Muyan relented. “Fine, I’ll ask her then.”

Two days later, at the sports meet.

The weather was perfect cool breeze carrying the crispness of autumn.

From 8 a.m., the sports meet’s music blared across the back field, filling the entire campus with electrifying energy.

Jiang Muyan wore a purple tracksuit that showed off her well-defined calves, her shoulders soft and graceful with a number tag pinned on.

Number 68, coincidentally, Jiang Muyan’s birthday.

She leaned over to show off to Cheng Jianli. “Teacher Cheng, look at my number tag!”

Cheng Jianli gave a faint glance and nodded, “The college entrance exam date is quite auspicious.”

Jiang Muyan: “…”

Seeing Jiang Muyan’s disappointed and aggrieved expression, Cheng Jianli cleared her throat lightly, “Isn’t it your birthday? I didn’t forget.”

Jiang Muyan immediately brightened up like a child who’d just been given candy, “So you remembered after all, Teacher Cheng.”

“Of course I remember,” Cheng Jianli said. “Such a special day would be hard to forget.”

Cheng Jianli lowered her head. Her high ponytail looked neat and tidy, with a few stray hairs at the nape of her snow-white neck, giving her a youthful and adorable appearance.

The PE committee member from Class 2 stood on the podium and called out, “All athletes change into your sports outfits and gather at the back playground.”

Jiang Muyan asked, “Do we need to change for the fun events too?”

Cheng Jianli looked at her school uniform, “Probably not.”

The PE committee member overheard and quickly said, “You need to change for the fun events too. The school uniform is too baggy and inconvenient for running.” Noticing Cheng Jianli was still wearing her beige school uniform, he added, “Class rep, did you bring your sports outfit? If not, I can borrow one for you.”

Cheng Jianli had brought hers, though it was bought by Uncle Liu and happened to match Jiang Muyan’s hers was white while Jiang Muyan’s was purple.

“It’s fine, I brought mine,” Cheng Jianli said. “I’ll change in the restroom. You all can go ahead to the back playground.”

“Alright, then hurry,” the PE committee member said, holding a stack of number tags. “The rest of the athletes, follow me.”

Jiang Muyan took out her white sports outfit from her desk drawer and said to Cheng Jianli, “I’ll go with you to change.”

Cheng Jianli replied, “It’s fine, I can manage alone. You should go ahead for the 800-meter race.”

“The 800-meter is still a while away, and there’s the opening ceremony and speeches first,” Jiang Muyan said. “I’ll go with you there’s plenty of time.”

Cheng Jianli thought for a moment but didn’t refuse, so she went with Jiang Muyan to the restroom to change.

The restroom was nearly empty now, with only a few girls washing their hands, all rushing to attend the sports meet’s opening ceremony.

The two quickly entered a stall to change.

Cheng Jianli picked up her sports outfit and said curiously, “Why did Uncle Liu buy matching outfits for us?”

Jiang Muyan, who had secretly instructed Uncle Liu to do so a few days prior, played dumb, “Probably because he thought they looked nice.”

The two sports outfits were simple and stylish, lightweight and breathable perfect for high school students.

Cheng Jianli hummed in acknowledgment and took off her school jacket, revealing a light green short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Jiang Muyan asked, “Teacher Cheng, won’t people see your scent-blocking patch with your hair up in a high ponytail?”

Cheng Jianli replied, “No one will notice me during the sports meet.”

Jiang Muyan, admiring the texture of Cheng Jianli’s hair, said sheepishly, “I suddenly think you look really pretty with a high ponytail.”

Cheng Jianli asked, “And normally?”

Jiang Muyan answered earnestly, “Normally, you always wear a low ponytail, which makes you seem more aloof. The high ponytail makes you look lively.”

Cheng Jianli said, “I suppose. Before, I just wanted to use my hair to cover the scent-blocking patch.”

Jiang Muyan adjusted Cheng Jianli’s collar and said, “But you have too many stray hairs at the back. Let me redo your ponytail.”

Cheng Jianli gave a soft “Mm” in response, letting her hair down before raising her fair, jade-like arms to tie it back up.

As she lifted her arms, her short sleeves rode up just enough to reveal a glimpse of her smooth, slender waist. Jiang Muyan instinctively reached out to grasp it. With her hands occupied, Cheng Jianli frowned slightly and dodged. “What are you doing?”

“Teacher Cheng, how come you still don’t gain any weight?” Jiang Muyan said seriously. “Uncle Liu even got you a nutritionist, but I feel like you’ve gotten even thinner.”

Speaking of the nutritionist ever since Cheng Jianli moved into Jiang Muyan’s home, she really had been assigned a personal nutritionist who planned all her meals. Breakfast consisted of seven or eight dishes, while lunch and dinner had over a dozen. She found it excessive.

Cheng Jianli replied, “With the way you do your homework every day, I’ve lost weight from sheer frustration.”

Jiang Muyan immediately pulled a long face. “Really?”

Seeing her expression, Cheng Jianli couldn’t help but curl her lips into a faint smile. “No, I was teasing you.”

Jiang Muyan grinned foolishly again. “That’s what I thought! I feel like I’ve been doing pretty well lately.”

Cheng Jianli said, “Stop touching me. I need to put on my jacket.”

Jiang Muyan let out an “Oh,” reluctantly moving her hand away from that fair waistline. “Teacher Cheng, how much do you weigh again?”

Cheng Jianli glanced up, her hands deftly securing her hair. “Less than 50 kilograms, 46 or 47, probably.”

Jiang Muyan said, “No wonder a size M jacket is enough for you.” After a pause, she added, “Oh, right, after the sports meet tonight, there’s a gathering at the night market. Classes 1 and 2 are going together.”

Cheng Jianli asked, “Are you going?”

Jiang Muyan nodded. “Yeah, Luo Jiajia and the others insisted I come. You should go with me.”

Cheng Jianli thought it over. Since Jiang Muyan had already finished all her holiday assignments two days ago, it wouldn’t hurt to let her unwind. “Alright,” she agreed.

Jiang Muyan brightened. “But there’ll probably be drinking and stuff, so don’t drink, I’ll cover for you.”

Cheng Jianli said, “Don’t worry about that yet. The real question is whether you can take first place in the 800-meter race later.”

Jiang Muyan grinned confidently. “Of course, I can as long as you’re by my side!”
