After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 78
“Is it over?” Cheng Jianli was still blushing slightly, after all, she was fully conscious now, not in some feverish state.
Jiang Muyan said shyly, “I feel a little embarrassed.”
Cheng Jianli replied, “Couldn’t tell.”
Jiang Muyan laughed, “Didn’t you say I could touch you all night? Hahahaha.”
Cheng Jianli said calmly, “Only one chance. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”
Jiang Muyan gasped in shock, “Really?”
Cheng Jianli responded, “Obviously.”
Jiang Muyan thought for a moment, then said, “Then I’ll save it for next time.”
Cheng Jianli raised an eyebrow, “You think there’ll be a next time?”
Jiang Muyan said seriously, “Because the feeling just now only lasted two seconds, it wasn’t deep enough.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
“Come here.” Cheng Jianli’s eyes shimmered under the warm orange light, as if filled with scattered stars.
Jiang Muyan froze for a second before wriggling over, still wrapped in her blanket.
Cheng Jianli: “What are you doing?”
Jiang Muyan blinked innocently, “You told me to come over.”
Cheng Jianli stared at her silently.
Under that gaze, Jiang Muyan flushed and asked sheepishly, “What’s wrong, Professor Cheng?”
Cheng Jianli cleared her throat lightly, averting her eyes as she lifted the edge of her blanket. “Get in and touch me.”
Jiang Muyan hesitated for half a second before immediately slipping under Cheng Jianli’s blanket. Her skin was cool and smooth, like fine jade.
Blushing, Jiang Muyan teased, “Professor Cheng, you’re so eager.”
Cheng Jianli didn’t respond, she knew Jiang Muyan would just twist her words. Instead, she said, “I don’t want to go back on my word.”
So that was it.
Jiang Muyan blinked slowly.
Damn, she’d thought Cheng Jianli was trying to seduce her again.
Sometimes, Jiang Muyan suspected Cheng Jianli deliberately toyed with her after all, she always fell for the simplest bait.
Annoyed, Jiang Muyan huffed, “Then I’m rolling this up.” Her fingers lightly pinched the hem of Cheng Jianli’s white camisole.
“Why not just take it off?” Cheng Jianli shot her a cool glance.
With ninety pounds of defiance in her hundred-pound frame, Jiang Muyan stubbornly insisted, “No, I want to roll it all the way up.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
“Where did you learn this?” Cheng Jianli asked, mentally adding, How perverted.
Distracted, Jiang Muyan grinned, “Heh, I’ve read a few relevant books.”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Jiang Muyan waved it off, “But that’s not important!”
Cheng Jianli said flatly, “It is.” She shifted back slightly. “No touching until you explain.”
!!!
Jiang Muyan immediately caved, “Fine! I’ve read some yuri literature.”
Cheng Jianli: “And?”
Jiang Muyan: “So don’t you think rolling up the camisole like this is, kind of hot?”
Cheng Jianli: “I’m not as twisted as you.”
Jiang Muyan just went, “Oh,” not even denying it.
She was kind of perverted sometimes, she’d admit that.
When Jiang Muyan didn’t continue, an inexplicable irritation flickered in Cheng Jianli’s chest.
Why’d she stop?
She turned onto her back, staring at the ceiling. The smooth silk of Jiang Muyan’s pajamas brushed against her cool skin.
The scent of roses clung heavily to Jiang Muyan. Having just received a temporary mark today, she naturally adored this fragrance.
Seeing Cheng Jianli remain silent, Jiang Muyan suddenly said, “Let’s chat, Teacher Cheng.”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Jiang Muyan’s train of thought truly wasn’t something an ordinary person could follow.
Cheng Jianli asked, “About what?”
Jiang Muyan replied, “I was thinking about what you mentioned earlier the temporary mark. Teacher Cheng, have you really made up your mind?”
Cheng Jianli frowned. “You mean the idea of coming to you for every heat cycle?”
Jiang Muyan nodded. “Yeah.”
Cheng Jianli narrowed her eyes. “You want to be my suppressant?”
Jiang Muyan flushed. “Teacher Cheng, you make it sound so, that.”
Cheng Jianli said seriously, “If you keep talking to me like that, I really won’t respond to you anymore.”
Jiang Muyan pouted. “Fine, I won’t say it.”
Silence settled between them. The warm orange bedside lamp had long since turned off automatically. After about ten minutes, Jiang Muyan reached over and switched it back on. The sudden light made Cheng Jianli squint. “What are you doing?”
Jiang Muyan scratched her head, suddenly shy. “I just remembered there’s something else I haven’t done yet.”
Cheng Jianli knew exactly what she meant, it was written all over her eager expression.
Truthfully, when she had pulled Jiang Muyan into her blanket earlier, she had felt a faint anticipation too.
Cheng Jianli admitted that after Jiang Muyan’s temporary mark, she had developed a uniquely omega-dependent attachment to her.
This attachment would fade as the mark weakened, but only a few hours had passed, and she still craved Jiang Muyan’s pheromones intensely.
Her chest burned, yet her words remained composed. “You only get one chance.”
Jiang Muyan whined, “But you already gave me a second one earlier.”
Cheng Jianli countered, “Then why did you waste time before?”
Jiang Muyan froze.
Cheng Jianli paused, averting her gaze. Her pretty, red lips parted deliberately as she teased, “I’ve been dying here. Didn’t you notice?”
Jiang Muyan immediately threw back the covers and slid beside Cheng Jianli. In the dim light, her camisole had twisted into a thin line, revealing hints of bare skin. Jiang Muyan cupped one with her hand. “You should’ve said so sooner, Teacher Cheng.”
Outwardly calm, Cheng Jianli was so tense her fingertips had gone cold. She lay on her side, her cheeks flushed. “Would you have listened if I had?”
Jiang Muyan grinned. “Of course.”
Cheng Jianli quietly pulled the blanket over them, hiding their silhouettes. Just as Jiang Muyan was about to complain, “I can’t see now,” Cheng Jianli covered her mouth. “Enough.”
Jiang Muyan wondered was Cheng Jianli stopping her from speaking, or from continuing?
But she didn’t dare ask. She was afraid the answer would ruin everything.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window stretched an endless dark sky, dotted with distant, cold stars, vast and solitary.
Inside, it wasn’t until Cheng Jianli had grown completely accustomed to Jiang Muyan’s touch that she finally spoke calmly. “By the way, about the heat cycles.”
Hearing her voice, Jiang Muyan squeezed gently with both hands. “Hmm?”
The touch sent shivers down Cheng Jianli’s spine. Her lips pressed together, faintly red. “It’s been over twenty minutes. Aren’t you done yet?”
Jiang Muyan pouted. “But you promised me the whole night.”
Cheng Jianli said, “You’re using too much strength. It hurts a little.”
Jiang Muyan immediately withdrew her hand and apologized earnestly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to, Teacher Cheng.”
Truthfully, Cheng Jianli wasn’t in pain, she just wanted to communicate properly with Jiang Muyan. But she was also a woman of her word.
She didn’t want to lose credibility in front of Jiang Muyan.
So, Cheng Jianli cleared her throat lightly, pulled Jiang Muyan’s hand back, and covered her fair-skinned hand with her palm, calmly saying, “It’s fine. Keep going.”
Jiang Muyan blinked in surprise. “Ah, okay.”
But this time, after only about five or six seconds, Jiang Muyan withdrew her hand again, even smoothing down Cheng Jianli’s clothes for her as she laughed awkwardly. “Alright! Let’s stop here for today!”
Cheng Jianli asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Muyan avoided her gaze. “Nothing.”
Cheng Jianli’s skin was so delicate just the slightest touch turned it red.
If she kept touching her, things would definitely get weird.
Cheng Jianli gave her a deep look.
“By the way,” Jiang Muyan quickly interrupted Cheng Jianli’s stare, “what were you saying earlier about your heat cycle?”
Cheng Jianli lay back, resting one hand beside her pillow as she gazed at the ceiling. “You said before that I could come to you during my heat cycle.” She turned her head to look at Jiang Muyan, her eyes like a pool of clear water. “I agree.”
Jiang Muyan was still dumbfounded. “Huh?”
Cheng Jianli said, “Our pheromone compatibility is so high that suppressants really aren’t necessary.” Her voice was soft and light. “If you ever need me during your rut, I’ll help you too. It’s a partnership.”
“A partnership?” Jiang Muyan said. “Really?”
Cheng Jianli: “Mm.”
Jiang Muyan immediately made a conflicted face.
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Cheng Jianli asked, “What’s the matter?” Her snow-pure, beautiful face showed confusion. “You don’t want to?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just.” Jiang Muyan said shyly, “I’m really scared you’ll drain all my pheromones dry.”
Cheng Jianli flushed red. “…”
She turned over and stopped speaking.
Jiang Muyan hurriedly said, “Teacher Cheng, I was joking!”
Cheng Jianli couldn’t be bothered with her. “Oh.”
Jiang Muyan then asked cautiously, “Are you mad?”
Cheng Jianli said, “No.”
Jiang Muyan said, “Then why won’t you talk to me?”
Cheng Jianli said, “I’m tired. Turn off the light.”
Jiang Muyan obediently turned off the bedside lamp, wondering if her mouth really was that terrible, why else would she keep making Cheng Jianli angry?
The next day at school, Jiang Muyan thought long and hard before solemnly presenting Cheng Jianli with a stack of papers.
Cheng Jianli was doing homework when she suddenly saw the sheets placed in front of her. Frowning, she asked, “What’s this?”
Jiang Muyan said sincerely, “Didn’t you say it was a partnership? Partnerships need contracts. See if this works.”
Cheng Jianli lowered her gaze and indeed saw the words “Contract” written at the top of the first page.
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Jiang Muyan looked at her expectantly. “Come on, take a look, Teacher Cheng!”
Cheng Jianli took it and opened it.
Party A: Jiang Muyan
Party B: Cheng Jianli
Party A voluntarily provides any assistance required by Party B during Party B’s heat cycle. Party B voluntarily provides any assistance required by Party A during Party A’s rut.
This agreement takes effect upon signing and terminates upon both parties’ admission to University C.
Below were spaces for signatures.
Cheng Jianli: “…”
What a ridiculously casual contract.
Cheng Jianli said calmly, “Why do you have so much free time? Have you finished memorizing the vocabulary I assigned you?”
Jiang Muyan replied earnestly, “I’ve finished. You can quiz me anytime.”
Seeing Jiang Muyan’s confident expression, Cheng Jianli said, “So you’re sure you want to sign this agreement with me?”
Jiang Muyan nodded eagerly like a pecking chick, “Absolutely sure.”
Cheng Jianli added, “Then I have one more condition.”
Jiang Muyan responded, “Go ahead!”
With clear, beautiful eyes, Cheng Jianli stated, “I want you to rank in the top 50 of your grade in the final exams.”
Jiang Muyan exclaimed, “!!!”
“Teacher Cheng, you’re making this too hard for me,” Jiang Muyan groaned as she slumped into her seat. “Didn’t we agree on top 100 last time?”
Cheng Jianli said impassively, “If you can’t do it, I won’t sign.”
Jiang Muyan covered her face, “.This is so unfair to me.”
Looking at the black-and-white agreement, Cheng Jianli thought for a moment and suggested, “How about…” Her long lashes fluttered slightly, “you add a supplementary condition too?”
