Transmigrated as a Scum Alpha: Now I Have a Wife via the Heartless Dao - Chapter 33

Yu Qianyan and Rong Shu arrived quite early, and by the time they got there, their dorms were still empty.

Yu Qianyan had the heart to help Rong Shu with her chores, but from the moment they entered the school, she had been kept at a distance of more than two meters by Rong Shu, who cited “not wanting to attract attention” as the reason. She wasn’t even allowed to carry her luggage, let alone help clean or tidy up the dorm. Rong Shu was so independent that it felt like she was saving up her disappointments and preparing to break up and run away at any moment, leaving Yu Qianyan, who was accustomed to taking care of her every need, feeling rather frustrated.

Yu Qianyan stood at the doorway for a while, watching Rong Shu tidy up on her own. It was clear that she didn’t need help, and a feeling of emptiness welled up in her heart, leaving a slightly bitter taste in her mouth.

The girl busy bustling about before her was no longer the petite and delicate figure she had first met. She had grown taller and leaner, and the contours of the bones in her exposed wrists and ankles were distinct and sharp, yet without losing a sense of power. Her temperament, too, had undergone a earth-shattering change through her daily training, like a sword blank still in the forge, beginning to reveal its shape and sharpness amidst the flames.

Before they were married, Rong Shu had already begun this transformation, and Yu Qianyan was naturally aware of it, but only now did she so vividly confront this metamorphosis.

Pride, joy, mixed with just enough frustration and confusion to be noticeable, filled Yu Qianyan’s heart.

She couldn’t help but ask one more time if she needed help, and after receiving a negative answer from Rong Shu, who didn’t even lift her head, she shrugged her shoulders with complex feelings and left.

“My dorm is empty too, I should hurry and tidy up,” Yu Qianyan told herself in her heart, “After cleaning the dorm, I still have to go report in, I can’t waste time.”

Hearing the sounds of doors opening and closing from the dorm across the hall behind her, Rong Shu curled her lips upward. Even the work in her hands seemed to become interesting, and her pleasant mood lasted until she welcomed her own roommate, Zhu Lanjun.

After Yu Qianyan returned to her room, she took a quick look around. The layout was no different from Rong Shu’s room, just the basics: a bunk bed with a desk underneath, plus a private bathroom and a balcony.

Since her roommate hadn’t arrived, Yu Qianyan randomly chose the bed furthest from the door, put her things on the bed frame, and began rolling up her sleeves to clean.

The Qilin Military Academy was a top-tier military school, and its administrative funding was naturally the highest, but the students’ accommodation conditions were not considered good, and in the ranks of military academies, they could only be considered average.

The dorm was neither big nor small, and all the necessary daily necessities and appliances were complete, but that was as far as it went.

The school’s logic was simple: since this was a military academy, it was naturally under military-style management, they weren’t here to enjoy a vacation.

Therefore, the brooms, mops, and rags used for cleaning were all the most primitive, relying entirely on human effort. The thermostat also had a restricted range and temperature limit. There were washing machines, but they were outdated models from who knows how many generations ago, requiring one to manually press buttons to wash and then retrieve and hang the clothes themselves, and the cleaning effect was only mediocre.

Yu Qianyan actually adapted quite well to this. She wasn’t a real aristocrat raised in pampered luxury, so after quickly sweeping the floor, she began to wash the mop, preparing to clean the entire dorm inside and out.

Just then, she heard a string of footsteps, and they sounded somewhat familiar. Yu Qianyan’s ears twitched slightly, but she didn’t pay much attention, guessing it was probably her roommate.

The person who came in was indeed her roommate, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

She dropped her luggage on the ground and pushed the door open with great force, causing it to slam heavily against the wall with a very loud “bang.”

“Hey you, the bed on the left is yours, right? Alright, then move quickly, and don’t forget to wipe my bed and desk clean as well. Wipe them a few more times, and after you finish, help me make my bed and pack my luggage.”

Yu Qianyan had been startled by the violent movement at first, but then she heard this reasonable and confident command.

She wasn’t particularly angry, but she found the voice quite familiar, so she curiously turned around to look.

Her roommate was looking down, tapping and typing away on her communicator, sending a message.

After the message was sent, Yu Qianyan’s communicator rang.

The roommate looked up in surprise and, upon seeing Yu Qianyan, who was leisurely taking out her own communicator, her expression immediately froze.

Yu Qianyan glanced at her and began to read the message she received word for word: “Sister Yu, my good sister, I’ve also come to Qilin Military Academy to go to school with you. Want to go out for a drink tonight? – Qin Zhiyu.”

Qin Zhiyu was the original host’s number one henchman and childhood friend. In the plot, she followed the original host around making trouble, provoking others, and doing nothing good. However, she was quite sincere to the original host and very loyal, being the person the original host trusted the most.

When Yu Qianyan got married, the leader of the wedding procession that went to Rong Shu’s house was her.

The head of the Qin family was also a Duke, but the Qin family’s situation was not good. By the current generation, the head of the family was approaching the mandatory retirement age for the political department, and in a few years, he would have to step down. Yet, among his large group of descendants, not one could be found who had any real promise. Be it science, politics, business, or military, none of the paths were working out.

Without real power and possessing only an empty title, no matter how high the rank, it was just a pretty flower rack that couldn’t easily secure the family’s mountain of wealth.

Qin Zhiyu had followed behind Yu Qianyan since childhood, and the two were like-minded wastrels, both of them high-level empty shells, although Qin Zhiyu’s level was quite a bit worse than Yu Qianyan’s, their reputations for dissolute behavior were on par.

However, the head of the Qin family didn’t care about Qin Zhiyu’s notoriety. After all, the other younger ones in the family weren’t any better. He was happy to see Qin Zhiyu getting close to Yu Qianyan, and even the relationship between the Qin and Yu families was not bad.

Don’t look at Qin Zhiyu as unreliable, and she wasn’t a child of the main lineage, but the head of the Qin family had high hopes for her, the most gifted child in the Qin family. Since she was small, the resources tilted toward her were no different from those for the head of the family’s own grandchildren, so she was incredibly spoiled and had a lot of face.

“Haha, hahaha…” Qin Zhiyu gave two dry laughs, not knowing what to say for a moment, and it took a long while before she found her voice, “What a coincidence, Sister Yu, that we were actually assigned to the same dorm.”

Yu Qianyan didn’t respond, watching her quietly and leisurely, staring until the person felt their scalp go numb. Qin Zhiyu squeezed out an awkward smile, rolled up her sleeves fawningly, and stepped forward, deftly taking the mop and starting to wash it, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it, Sister Yu, you rest.”

“Then what about this bed?”

“I’ll wipe it, I’ll wipe it! How could I bother you to do it yourself!”

“Cut the act.” Yu Qianyan didn’t stand on ceremony with her, let go and handed the mop over, but she didn’t intend to let her do everything, and turned to go scrub the rag and wipe the dust.

“Why did you come too?”

Qin Zhiyu let out a long sigh, her floor-mopping technique going from clumsy to proficient, “It’s all because of you. We were good sisters who ate, drank, and played together, who knew you would get married without a word? Fine, getting married is one thing, but why did you suddenly become so motivated? And you even brought your wife along to be motivated. Your mother arranged for the two of you to enroll on the front foot, and on the back foot, I was shoved in here to be a study companion for you.”

Yu Qianyan took a look at Qin Zhiyu, said nothing else, but warned her slightly: “Keep your mouth shut about Rong Shu’s business.”

Not getting the expected sympathy, Qin Zhiyu responded with a perfunctory “Mmm,” and then secretly rolled her eyes.

“I heard…”

“Heard what?”

“I heard that you’ve been getting close to an Omega from the Rong family lately?”

“Ah, you mean Rong Qiao? I suppose so.” Qin Zhiyu thought about it and said indifferently, “He’s not bad, he knows the score and knows how to be interesting, and he’s good-looking too. It’s just that his heart is a bit too big. I guess he saw Rong Shu marry you and thought he could do it too, so I broke it off with him. But he’s not entirely stupid, he took the money and didn’t pester me, so he knows his place.”

This was indeed Qin Zhiyu’s consistent style. Yu Qianyan didn’t agree with it in her heart, but Qin Zhiyu was a romantic, not a degenerate. She had always done things that were consensual, never forced anyone, and when breaking up, they always parted on good terms. This time was no exception, so she didn’t say anything more.

On the contrary, Qin Zhiyu, after mentioning Rong Qiao, snuck closer and winked at Yu Qianyan, “Don’t say that, I only spent that time with Rong Qiao because of you. If you hadn’t asked me to go pick up the bride at the Rong family that day, I really wouldn’t have met him, and I wouldn’t have had this idea. And that Rong Xin, I’ve never seen anyone so stupid, with every thought written all over her face, yet she thinks she’s a national beauty… I look at those Omegas and Betas in the Rong family, none of them are outstanding. What exactly does Rong Shu have that is so superior that she could make a great romantic lover like you settle down? Tell me about it, eh?”

Yu Qianyan didn’t want to deal with her. After wiping the desk on her side, she turned around to wash the rag, and after washing it, she climbed onto the bed to wipe the bed frame, ignoring Qin Zhiyu the whole time.

Qin Zhiyu wasn’t angry at being deliberately ignored. She gave a few hehe laughs and continued to mop the floor.

Neither of the two Alphas were pretentious people, or rather, in front of Yu Qianyan, Qin Zhiyu couldn’t be pretentious even if she wanted to, so they soon got the dorm tidied up and sat on the chairs in front of their desks to rest.

Qin Zhiyu used the tip of her shoe to kick the edge of Yu Qianyan’s shoe, but after kicking a few times and having them dodged, when she wanted to extend her foot again, she was glared at fiercely, and she immediately straightened her posture honestly and asked, “When are we going to report?”

Yu Qianyan looked at the time and sent a message to Rong Shu to ask how she was preparing.

The message wasn’t replied to immediately. She didn’t know if Rong Shu was still busy, so Yu Qianyan decided to wait a while first. Glancing at Qin Zhiyu from the corner of her eye, she suddenly had the urge to chat and said to her, “Since your family let you come to military school, are they planning to have you follow the path of joining the military?”

“Me? I don’t know, let’s see how the old lady arranges it. I don’t have any say, I guess I’ll have to see how you choose when the time comes. The old lady specifically instructed me to listen to you.”

Yu Qianyan frowned, feeling that this sounded a bit strange.

The relationship between the Qin and Yu families was quite good, and Qin Zhiyu and Yu Qianyan were indeed very close friends, but they weren’t close enough for the other to decide Qin Zhiyu’s future. Others might not know, but Yu Qianyan knew that the head of the Qin family valued Qin Zhiyu almost as much as Yu Qishan valued her. If nothing unexpected happened, the future of the Qin family would be handed over to Qin Zhiyu.

In this situation, the attitude of the Qin family was quite intriguing.

Before Yu Qianyan could sort out her thoughts, the communicator on the table rang.

It was a message from Rong Shu, saying she was ready too, and asking Yu Qianyan if she wanted to go to the reporting office together.

Yu Qianyan immediately jumped up like a carp springing into action, waved a hand at Qin Zhiyu, and walked out first.

Qin Zhiyu watched with admiration and clicked her tongue, full of respect in her heart for this Miss Rong, whom she wasn’t very familiar with, and hurriedly followed behind Yu Qianyan.

Although Rong Shu was ready on her side, when Yu Qianyan arrived, her dorm door was still closed.

Yu Qianyan reached out to knock on the door, Qin Zhiyu poked her head in to look, was rewarded with an elbow jab from the former, and immediately clutched her chest, wincing silently.

The door opened and Rong Shu walked out, looking completely different from what Qin Zhiyu had seen before.

She had cut her hair into a shoulder-length blunt bob, with straight bangs on her forehead covering her smooth brow. She was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, with a thin pure gold chain hanging from the frames. Her lips were painted with a classic retro red lipstick shade, finely outlining the plump petal-lip shape. The styling was retro and elegant to the extreme, and she looked dignified, yet her eyes faintly revealed a seductive and enchanting allure. Her beauty was unforgettable, and she was a completely different person from before.

This was the first time Qin Zhiyu saw Rong Shu in this attire, and she almost didn’t recognize her, her respect deepened even further.

This Miss Rong was indeed impressive, able to handle all kinds of styles, and so beautiful she was like a little goblin.

Before Qin Zhiyu could say hello to Rong Shu, she saw her pull another girl out of the dorm, smiling softly as she introduced her to Yu Qianyan, “This is Zhu Lanjun, my roommate.”

Zhu Lanjun blinked slowly, looked curiously at Yu Qianyan and Qin Zhiyu, and greeted them simply.

Rong Shu stared fixedly at Yu Qianyan’s reaction from the side, and seeing that after the initial surprise, her expression returned to normal as she looked at her, she felt relieved and intimately took Zhu Lanjun’s arm.

Zhu Lanjun looked down at the white hand that had suddenly appeared on her arm, then looked at Rong Shu, and slowly lifted a shy smile.

Yu Qianyan also stared intently at Rong Shu’s hand holding Zhu Lanjun’s arm, her face still composed, but the shock in her heart was like a raging sea.

How on earth were these dorms assigned?!

It was normal for her to be in a room with Qin Zhiyu, but why were Rong Shu and Zhu Lanjun arranged to live together? And why did they look like they had such a good relationship?

With things this lively, should she add Qi Yan to the mix too!

Yu Qianyan’s heart was still filled with doubt, when the sound of a door opening came from behind her.

They all looked over together, and a tall and elegant Alpha walked out from the room right next to Yu Qianyan’s dorm, standing tall and straight.

Yu Qianyan’s eyes deepened instantly, Rong Shu’s hand holding Zhu Lanjun’s arm tightened suddenly, and Qin Zhiyu took a small step back behind Yu Qianyan after seeing Yu Qianyan’s reaction.

The Alpha was watched by the four pairs of eyes and froze for a moment, “What a coincidence, everyone is actually here, don’t tell me you were waiting for me on purpose?”

After speaking, without waiting for a response, the Alpha fixed her gaze on Zhu Lanjun and Rong Shu, laughing, “My name is Qi Yan, a freshman majoring in All-War Command. May I ask who you two are?”
