I Fall Every Time I Meet an Alpha [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 28

Meng Yuqing was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. When she returned home and shared the news, the entire family took it seriously.

Meng Yuzhou wasn’t surprised at all. He remarked, “I always said she had psychological issues. Now that the doctor’s diagnosis is out, wasn’t I right?”

Meng Yuqing felt irritated by his half-mocking, half-schadenfreude tone. “That doctor barely spoke to me before diagnosing me with a problem. If anyone has issues, it’s him not me. A quack like that, and you actually trust him?”

Ye Qincao chimed in, “That doctor is quite renowned and skilled. I think he’s right. Brother, stop arguing with your sister. The doctor said she shouldn’t be agitated.”

Meng Yuzhou scoffed, “As if I’d bother arguing with her.”

Meng Yuqing was speechless. I told you I’m not sick, why won’t anyone believe me? Everyone was treating her like she was mentally unstable, and she hated being labeled like this.

Her father, Meng Xijun, examined the diagnosis report and said, “Just from a brief conversation, jumping to such a conclusion seems overly subjective. Let’s take her for a full-body checkup tomorrow, especially a brain scan.”

The first half of her father’s words pleased Meng Yuqing until she heard the latter half. Another examination tomorrow? She slumped in frustration. She was so done with this.

Reluctantly, Meng Yuqing underwent a brain CT scan. The results showed widened sulci, enlarged ventricles, reduced blood flow in the left frontal lobe, and decreased blood flow in the left anterior cingulate cortex but no other abnormalities.

Yet, this was still significant because these were also common markers in bipolar disorder patients.

When Meng Yuqing heard the results, a storm of curses raged in her mind.

Meng Yuqing: System, what the hell is going on?!

She didn’t want to doubt the medical science of this world, but now she had no choice.

System 666: I told you villainesses always have some psychological issues.

Meng Yuqing: I am the villainess now. So you’re saying I have mental problems?

System 666: Not you but the villainess does.

Meng Yuqing: Oh, I see. So I’m just a damn lunatic.

System 666: Well,  you could put it that way…

A psychologist’s subjective diagnosis might still be questionable, but the objective, precise results from medical equipment were undeniable.

At this point, Meng Yuqing gave up resisting.

The system, considering that her psychological treatment would keep her from interfering with the male and female leads, was actually pleased though it pretended to console her.

System 666: Just act normal, and everything will be fine. It’s not a big deal~

Meng Yuqing: … (Ugh, whatever.)

It wasn’t a big deal except now, her entire family treated her like she was mentally ill.

No one dared to provoke her. They tiptoed around her, keeping their distance.

When Meng Yuqing returned to school and saw Zhong Xiaoxiao, her frustration only grew. Zhong Xiaoxiao now walked with a limp and barely acknowledged her.

Thanks to Meng Yuqing’s silence, Zhong Xiaoxiao enjoyed a few peaceful days.

Only a few.

After all, danger always surrounded the female lead that was an unbreakable rule.

Meng Yuqing stood on the fifth-floor balcony, gazing idly at the sky.

The autumn air was crisp, and a cool breeze brushed against her face gentle and soothing.

The row of chrysanthemums embedded in the balcony were in full bloom, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.

Below, Zhong Xiaoxiao slowly walked by, leaning on her crutch. Meng Yuqing watched her without any particular thoughts, simply observing. Suddenly, a refreshing scent, distinct from the chrysanthemums’ subtle fragrance, pierced through the air sharp and intense, like a blade cutting through layers of mist.

Meng Yuqing instinctively turned her head and saw a girl with long, layered hair, adorned in dazzling jewelry and dressed extravagantly. The girl stretched out her fair hands to cradle a pot of chrysanthemums, admiring them intently. The soft yellow flowers complemented her gentle profile beautifully. On her left hand, an ornate gemstone bracelet purple, yellow, blue, and red stones was linked by a ring on her middle finger, fanning out across the back of her hand and wrapping around her wrist, shimmering brilliantly.

“Such beautiful flowers, don’t you think?” The girl suddenly turned to her with a smile, one that carried an inexplicable air of mischief.

“…” The moment Meng Yuqing saw her face, a strange feeling washed over her. She quickly realized this was the girl who had stood beside Gan Qingyun that day!

Meng Yuqing glanced at the chrysanthemum pot, which was now slowly edging over the balcony railing. Below, Zhong Xiaoxiao was passing by.

“Oops, my hand slipped~” the girl said casually as the pot slipped from her grasp and plummeted downward.

“!” Meng Yuqing’s heart leaped into her throat. Without thinking, she vaulted over the balcony after it.

“Oh my~” Du Lingyan, witnessing this, arched a brow in mild surprise, though her expression remained one of amused detachment. “Why would she jump like that?”

Aaaaaah! The system was losing its mind: What are you doing?! Are you insane?! This is the fifth floor!

In the critical moment, the system had no choice but to intervene. It made the pot narrowly miss Zhong Xiaoxiao’s clothes and slowed Meng Yuqing’s fall, shouting at her: Land on the heroine, now!

Zhong Xiaoxiao sensed something falling from above but had no time to react. She heard a sharp crash beside her, followed by an overwhelming weight slamming into her. “Slammed” might not be the right word, it felt more like being shoved hard, throwing her off balance and sending her tumbling backward.

The back of her head was cushioned by a palm before hitting the ground, leaving her dazed. Then, something warm pressed against her lips. What the hell?! What’s happening?! Zhong Xiaoxiao lay there, utterly bewildered, pinned down with her lips sealed, screaming internally.

Hearing her mental cries, Meng Yuqing almost laughed until she realized her mouth was still pressed against Zhong Xiaoxiao’s. Unable to resist, she playfully bit her, even teasing the idea of deepening the kiss.

Zhong Xiaoxiao: ?!?!

The system was beside itself. Around them, screams erupted as the scene caused an uproar. To onlookers, it looked like Meng Yuqing had jumped off the building and tragically landed on a passerby.

The system, overwhelmed, froze time entirely before rewinding it, back to the moment Du Lingyan first appeared.

Though time had reversed, Meng Yuqing retained her memories. The system warned her: Don’t let her drop the flowerpot.

Meng Yuqing: Got it.

Yet when Du Lingyan dropped the pot again, Meng Yuqing didn’t stop her instead, she leaped off the balcony just like before.

The system angrily cursed: “Are you out of your mind?!”

Meng Yuqing replied: “Yes, I am out of my mind.”

Meng Yuqing’s lips gently pressed against Zhong Xiaoxiao’s, and she was actually enjoying this sensation.
