Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 105

“…Not just decent, it’s practically transformative acting. I pride myself on being a skilled actor, yet I can’t hold a candle to her performance. Does becoming an alpha really bring about such dramatic changes? How come I’ve never encountered such talent before?”

Yu Qingxue said, “As you mentioned, Ning Xi is one in a million. What makes her exceptional isn’t just her looks, but her acting too. She must have had some sudden enlightenment.”

Professor Zhang was now itching to watch the entire film. “When’s Valentine’s Day?”

“March 14th.”

“February 14th.”

Yu Qingxue and the dean answered simultaneously.

Professor Zhang: “A whole month apart—are you serious?”

Yu Qingxue couldn’t help laughing. “I might have remembered wrong. Blame it on me being perpetually single and never celebrating the holiday.”

The dean placed his phone in front of Professor Zhang. “February 14th, Valentine’s Day. No mistake.”

Professor Zhang: “…”

“Alright, you’re busy. I’ll hang up now.” Professor Zhang ended the call and turned to the dean. “Keep that day free.”

“I know—movie day.”

…

After hanging up with Professor Zhang, Yu Qingxue’s first move was to message Ning Xi on WeChat.

But even after sending ten messages, she received no reply.

Maybe she’s in class?

Ning Xi was indeed in class.

Unlike the howling cold winds outside, the classroom was as warm as spring.

Ning Xi had arrived slightly late. After scanning the room, she found every seat either occupied or marked with belongings—except for the middle seat in the last row.

She walked over and sat down. To her left was a copy of “Fundamentals of Economics,” and to her right, “Introduction to Fish Farming.”

Ning Xi: “…”

Wasn’t this supposed to be “Basic Acting Theory”?

Her acting classmates, perhaps due to their earlier interactions in the rehearsal room, were trying hard not to stare at her too much, afraid of making her uncomfortable.

For once, Ning Xi actually felt at ease in the classroom.

But only briefly.

Because one minute before class started, her two seatmates finally arrived.

The sight of Huo Ziling’s flamboyant red curls didn’t surprise Ning Xi at all.

But the girl trailing behind Huo Ziling—dressed in a white dress with flowing long hair—made Ning Xi’s heart skip a beat.

Ning Xi couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times.

The girl’s face seemed veiled in a faint mist, obscuring her features, yet somehow evoking the impression of pure, innocent eyes, a delicately upturned nose, and lips as soft as flower petals.

That face must be breathtaking.

That was the only thought in Ning Xi’s mind as she gazed at the girl’s hazy visage.

Huo Ziling strutted over, initially thinking Ning Xi was looking at her. But the closer she got, the more she realized Ning Xi’s gaze was fixed on someone behind her.

Turning around, Huo Ziling spotted the girl and sneered internally. What was so special about this plain-looking nobody that Ning Xi would stare like that?

“Ning Xi, aren’t I enough to look at? Why bother with some ugly duckling?” Huo Ziling plopped down to Ning Xi’s left and slammed the desk without hesitation.

The loud “bang!” snapped Ning Xi out of her daze. Realizing she’d been staring blankly at someone whose face she couldn’t even see clearly, a wave of intense wariness washed over her.

[Ding! Ultimate target Ning Xi’s seduction failed. Host must accept punishment—Beauty Mist effect reduced by 10%.]

[System, don’t reduce my Beauty Mist. Without it, how can I possibly seduce Ning Xi? Give me another chance, I swear I can make Ning Xi fall at my feet.]

[Ding! System has no authority! Host’s Beauty Mist effect remains at 90%.]

Ning Xi quickly glanced at the girl and noticed the mist on her face did seem slightly thinner.

System, host—this was indeed the same trope from that other novel about the universally adored omega heroine.

The plain-looking heroine had signed a contract with the system to gain beauty. By seducing alpha after alpha, she could earn points to exchange for items in the system’s shop.

Zheng Tian’s first purchase was the “Beauty Mist.”

As the name suggested, it covered her face with a thick mist that made everyone perceive her as ethereally beautiful.

But the Beauty Mist had one flaw—its effects only worked on alphas, barely affecting omegas and betas.

That’s why Huo Ziling remained unaffected.

“Ning Xi, stop looking at that ugly creature, will you?” Huo Ziling said irritably.

Ning Xi replied, “Thank you, Huo.”

Caught off guard by the gratitude, Huo Ziling blinked before breaking into a smile. “No need to thank me,” she said without asking why.

Ning Xi smiled politely and turned back to her textbook, completely ignoring Zheng Tian.

Zheng Tian: “…”

When class began, Zheng Tian hurried to sit on Ning Xi’s right.

Under the teacher’s watchful eye, every time Zheng Tian tried to speak, a sharp glare from the podium forced her to shut her mouth.

By the time class ended, Zheng Tian was nearly asleep from boredom.

Rubbing her eyes, she said to Ning Xi, who was packing up, “Ning Xi, you must know me. I’m Zheng Tian—An Man’s cousin.”

Ning Xi could be polite to anyone—except Yu Qingxue’s love rival.

So she merely gave a faint “Hmm” and prepared to leave.

Zheng Tian chased after her but was blocked at the door by an angry Huo Ziling. “Where do you think you’re going? Don’t you dare pollute Ning Xi’s eyes with that ugly face of yours!”

“Are you insane?” Zheng Tian had no patience for this. She exchanged points for a Weakness Pill to incapacitate Huo Ziling.

[Ding! Weakness Pill taking effect!]

Huo Ziling suddenly felt exhausted, her body unbearably heavy. She collapsed into her seat, unable to even lift her arms.

“Did you drug me? What’s your game?” Huo Ziling glared at Zheng Tian with red-rimmed eyes.

“Good dogs don’t block the way. Figure it out.” Zheng Tian dodged past Huo Ziling to chase Ning Xi, but the hallway was empty.

No matter—she had the system.

[System, where’s Ning Xi now?]

[Ding! Querying target location… Ning Xi is currently eating at Cafeteria 2.]

Zheng Tian rushed to Cafeteria 2, only for the system to announce Ning Xi had returned to the dorm.

Zheng Tian: “…”

[System, are you messing with me?!]

[“Host, the system didn’t save you.”]

[“I said ‘walk’! As in walking a dog!”]

[“Host, the system didn’t treat you as a dog.”]

Zheng Tian: [“…Shut up.”]

[“Understood, host.”]

Having lost track of Ning Xi, Zheng Tian had no choice but to temporarily switch targets and max out the reduced effects of her Beauty Mist.

Thus, when Ning Xi attended afternoon classes, she was once again met with the same fog-covered face from the morning.

Ning Xi, mentally prepared this time, gave it a cursory glance before looking away, not lingering on Zheng Tian’s face for even a second.

Unfazed, Zheng Tian took the seat next to Ning Xi and began chattering away.

Her voice was as clear and melodious as a lark’s song. Ning Xi touched the earplugs hidden beneath her long hair, deeply grateful for her thorough preparations.

After five minutes of talking herself hoarse with no sign of infatuation from Ning Xi, Zheng Tian couldn’t help but feel that damned desire to conquer rise within her.

Ning Xi was the first alpha she’d encountered who was this difficult to handle, and she was determined to make Ning Xi fall hopelessly in love with her.

Ten minutes into the class, Huo Ziling finally arrived. She called out “Reporting in!” as casually as if she were part of the acting program’s class, striding straight toward Ning Xi… or rather, Zheng Tian beside her.

“Zheng Tian, come out. I need to talk to you.”

The teacher at the podium angrily rapped the desk. “You two, take your conversation outside if you have something to say. Don’t disrupt others’ learning.”

With an aggrieved (?) expression, Zheng Tian said, “Professor, I don’t even know this woman.”

Huo Ziling trembled with rage, her crimson curls shaking as fury flushed her dark complexion. “How shameless can you be?! Get out here now!”

Huo Ziling reached out to grab Zheng Tian, who dodged the first attempt but not the second. As Huo Ziling tightly gripped her wrist, Zheng Tian’s eyes instantly welled up with tears from the pain.

[“System, exchange ‘Pear Blossoms Bathed in Rain’ for me!”]

[Ding! Successfully exchanged “Pear Blossoms Bathed in Rain” for host—those who see your tears will fall head over heels for you~]
