Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 106
Zheng Tian had limited points, and the effect of “Pear Blossoms Bathed in Rain” only lasted half an hour. She needed to seize the time to get out of this predicament.
Turning to Ning Xi for help, tears rolled down Zheng Tian’s cheeks like raindrops on pear blossoms—a delicate beauty with sorrowful charm.
“Ning Xi, could you help me, please?”
But Ning Xi, wearing earplugs, was focused on the lecture platform and didn’t even acknowledge her.
Huo Ziling, who had been gripping Zheng Tian’s wrist, grew furious at her actions and yanked hard, pulling Zheng Tian straight to her feet.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Zheng Tian was so startled that her tears instantly dried up.
The entire class watched their commotion, while the teacher on the podium trembled with anger.
The dean happened to pass by, heard the noise, and peered through the window. Seeing the situation inside, he immediately pushed the door open and strode in.
“You two! What’s going on here?”
Huo Ziling wasn’t entirely without restraint in school. Hearing the voice, she turned her head and, upon spotting the dean, suddenly hatched a plan.
Dragging the unresisting Zheng Tian forward, Huo Ziling said, “Uncle Jia, this girl isn’t from our school. She came here to harass Ning Xi and disrupted the entire performing arts class. I was just trying to get her out.”
“You—!” Zheng Tian’s eyes widened in shock—she hadn’t expected Huo Ziling to know she wasn’t a student at Beihua Academy.
“Dean, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m a student here—she’s the outsider!” Zheng Tian said pitifully, trying hard to summon tears and maximize the “Pear Blossoms Bathed in Rain” effect.
But her tears seemed to have dried up—no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn’t come.
The dean said sternly, “Both of you, come with me to the office. Don’t disturb the other students.”
“Dean, could you tell her to let go of me? My wrist hurts so much,” Zheng Tian pleaded pitifully.
Hearing her affected tone, Huo Ziling shuddered as if she’d touched something filthy and immediately released her hand, sneering, “You think I want to touch you?”
After informing the teacher, the dean led the two out of the classroom and took them to his office.
Professor Zhang was still there, replaying Ning Xi’s performance clip at his desk, clicking his tongue in admiration. He was itching to call Ning Xi over and discuss it with her.
When the dean entered, he said, “There’s a female student harassing Ning Xi and disrupting her class. What do you think we should do?”
At the mention of “Ning Xi,” Professor Zhang paused the video and glanced up at Huo Ziling and Zheng Tian.
One of them looked utterly arrogant, while the other, though plain, carried an air of confidence—yet her gaze was always slightly downward, laced with disdain.
Professor Zhang extended his hand. “Show me your student IDs.”
Beihua Academy’s student cards were multi-functional, serving as meal cards and dorm keys, so students usually carried them at all times.
Huo Ziling casually pulled hers from her pocket and handed it over, then crossed her arms and smirked at Zheng Tian. “Let me guess—you’re going to say you lost yours, right? Outsider.”
By now, Zheng Tian had calmed down somewhat. She lowered her head, slowly trying to summon tears again.
Professor Zhang frowned. “So you’re really from another school? Which one?”
Zheng Tian’s eyes grew slightly moist. She blinked, feeling tears slowly roll down her cheeks, and immediately raised her head.
Just then, Teacher Zhang stood up and said to the dean, “You take over. She’s probably not from our school.”
Zheng Tian didn’t make eye contact with Teacher Zhang. Instead, she instinctively turned her head and met a pair of mocking phoenix eyes.
Those eyes widened slightly in surprise before flickering with confusion, then gradually filling with affection as they gazed at Zheng Tian.
The mix of love and obsession in Huo Ziling’s stare unsettled Zheng Tian, making her take an involuntary step back.
“Tell me, what’s your name, and which university are you from?” the dean asked after sitting down.
The effect of “Pear Blossom Bathed in Rain” could only target one person at a time. Zheng Tian had already made Huo Ziling fall for her, so the dean remained unaffected by her teary eyes.
[Warning! Warning! The target affected by “Pear Blossom Bathed in Rain” has obsessive tendencies and may turn dangerous. Host is advised to leave immediately!]
[… System, if you’d waited any longer, I’d already be dead.]
Zheng Tian had sensed an inexplicable danger earlier, but the system was painfully slow to warn her about the red-haired woman.
Bowing deeply to the dean, Zheng Tian said, “I’m sorry. I’m Zheng Tian, a student from Shanda University next door. I came to Beihua College to audit classes because I admire Ning Xi so much. I promise I never harassed her, and I’ll make sure to keep my distance from now on. Please forgive me this time.”
The dean made Zheng Tian write down her basic information and sign a pledge. “If this happens again, I’ll have to report it to your school.”
“I’m sorry, truly sorry.”
Zheng Tian kept her demeanor as humble as possible, apologizing pitifully until the dean finally relented. “Fine, you can go.”
The moment she heard those words, Zheng Tian turned and hurried out, her steps so quick it was as if a monster were chasing her.
Huo Ziling watched her retreating figure, a faint smile flickering in her eyes.
Running?
“Uncle Jia, I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. My father mentioned inviting you and the principal for dinner sometime.”
Huo Ziling walked to the desk, her gaze sweeping over the paper Zheng Tian had filled out. The information matched what she had gathered from her investigation—this little crybaby was surprisingly naive.
“That girl’s wrist was bruised from your grip. If she had made an issue of it, you’d be accompanying her to the hospital right now.”
Huo Ziling’s father had donated a building to the school, and since she hadn’t technically done anything wrong, the dean merely said, “Go on, don’t forget your student card.”
“Thank you, Uncle Jia.”
Huo Ziling left the office, heading to the parking lot where she mounted her flashy motorcycle to chase after Zheng Tian.
It took at least twenty minutes to walk from the administration building to the school gate. Since she had left only three minutes after Zheng Tian, catching up on her bike would be effortless.
[Host, the obsessive is approaching rapidly! It’s recommended you take the high-speed train and leave immediately!]
[… Damn you, system! Where am I supposed to find a high-speed train on campus?!]
Zheng Tian had been walking briskly, but upon hearing the system’s suggestion, she stopped dead in her tracks. Without train-speed escape, she had no chance of evading that madwoman.
“Pear Blossom Bathed in Rain” only lasted half an hour. She could endure until then—there was no way that lunatic would dare do anything to her on school grounds.
[System, what’s that woman’s gender?]
[Ding! Need to get closer for detection.]
[…]
With the roar of a motorcycle, the crazy woman Zheng Tian mentioned—Huo Ziling—pulled up in front of her with a stylish stop.
Huo Ziling casually tucked a strand of her red hair behind her ear, her crimson lips curling into a devilish smirk. “Waiting for me?”
[System, check now!]
[Ding! Scanning… Scan complete! Host, Huo Ziling appears to be an omega.]
[Appears? Have you become so useless you can’t even detect gender properly now?]
[No. The pheromones in Huo Ziling’s body are showing signs of instability. It seems she hadn’t fully differentiated before, but due to the stimulation from your skill “Tears Like Pearls,” she is now undergoing complete differentiation.]
[Host, your pheromones are also becoming unstable.]
Zheng Tian’s heart pounded faster, sweat pouring down her body. Normally, her sweat carried the scent of her pheromones, but this time, there was nothing.
After what felt like an eternity, both Huo Ziling and Zheng Tian collapsed to the ground, their pheromones seemingly drained completely.
[Ding! Scanning… Scan complete! Huo Ziling’s gender is female beta.]
[What about me?] Zheng Tian struggled to lift her hand and sniff for her pheromone scent, only to find nothing.
A terrible premonition instantly gripped her heart.
[Ding! Host’s current gender is female beta.]
Zheng Tian’s vision darkened.
[System, you must have made a mistake! Scan again!]
[Host, the system does not make errors.]
[I said scan again.]
[Host, the system does not make errors.]
[#%$&…]
[Profanity automatically filtered. Host, I can’t hear what you’re saying.]
Zheng Tian lay despairingly on the cold ground, the howling north wind leaving her face bloodless. [I said… System, check if my “Mist of Beauty” still works.]
How could she seduce alphas as a beta now…
Her beauty, her path to being adored by thousands—it was all ruined.
