I Fall Every Time I Meet an Alpha [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 34

“Aren’t you sad at all?” Meng Yuzhou asked again, the sorrow and disappointment in his voice barely concealed.

“Huh? I, I…” I’m not sad at all! Zhong Xiaoxiao had been quite satisfied with the arrangement, but when Meng Yuzhou questioned her, she suddenly remembered her role. As his girlfriend, she should at least pretend to be heartbroken in this situation.

Thinking this, Zhong Xiaoxiao’s expression turned desolate. She asked, “If that’s the case, then why did you come to provoke me in the first place?”

“…” Meng Yuzhou looked at her sorrowful face, his heart aching.

She was the moon in the sky, something he longed to touch but could never reach.

“I’m sorry,” he finally said, his voice heavy with grief.

“Meng Yuzhou, you’re such a scumbag.” Zhong Xiaoxiao forced out two tears before turning and running away.

Meng Yuzhou watched the retreating figure of the girl, his heart torn apart.

Just like that, he let her run out of his world.

Zhong Xiaoxiao ran a good distance before glancing back, no one was chasing her.

“Whew~” She secretly sighed in relief. Good, now it was settled.

If the romantic subplot was temporarily postponed, then her life wouldn’t be so stressful anymore.

Wiping the tears from her face, Zhong Xiaoxiao cheerfully headed home.

[Alert! Alert! Major deviation detected in the main storyline!]

The system received the alert and immediately informed Meng Yuqing: Bad news, the main couple has broken up.

Meng Yuqing: Oh yeah, happy breakup!

System 666: I’m being serious here!

Meng Yuqing: What can I do? I’m locked up at home and can’t leave.

System 666: I’ll let you out. You handle fixing the plot.

Hearing this, Meng Yuqing didn’t beat around the bush and agreed immediately: Deal.

When the psychiatrist Chen Shiyu arrived, the system entered his mind and reprogrammed him, causing Chen Shiyu to act according to the new script.

Chen Shiyu suggested to the Meng family that Meng Yuqing return to school and spend time with peers, as it would benefit her mental health.

Meng Xijun hesitated at the suggestion. “There are too many uncontrollable factors at school. What if she gets triggered and something happens?”

“Isn’t her brother there too?” Dr. Chen adjusted his glasses and glanced gently at Meng Yuzhou. “Let the older brother take care of his younger sister.”

Meng Yuzhou, currently heartbroken and distracted, replied, “I can’t keep an eye on her.”

Ye Qin Cao also expressed concern. “Brother and sister can’t be together all the time. How can he watch over her?”

“What about sister-in-law?” Meng Yuqing chimed in. “I’ll stay with sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law?” Meng Xijun and Ye Qin Cao were both surprised and turned to look at Meng Yuzhou.

The moment Meng Yuzhou heard the term “sister-in-law,” alarm bells rang in his head. He looked at Meng Yuqing, who smirked back at him as if in defiance. His heart was filled with desolation and unease. He didn’t want any more trouble between these two.

“I… broke up with her,” Meng Yuzhou said with difficulty, rubbing his face. He looked haggard, his entire demeanor listless, like a walking corpse.

“Brother’s psychological state also warrants attention,” the psychiatrist observed, pinpointing the issue. “Extremely poor mental condition, are you not sleeping well?”

Once reminded, everyone’s gaze turned to Meng Yuzhou.

“Brother, are you okay?” Ye Qin Cao looked at him worriedly. “Are you very tired? Go upstairs and sleep.”

“No,” Meng Yuzhou didn’t want to sleep at all now. He was afraid to sleep, every time he closed his eyes, he dreamed of his sister jumping off a building or saw her and Zhong Xiaoxiao as lifeless corpses. He was terrified. Each time he woke from these nightmares, his heart felt like it would stop.

Meng Xijun watched the siblings, noticing that the brother’s condition seemed even worse than the sister’s now.

“I think Brother should see a psychologist too,” Meng Yuqing chimed in. “After all, we already have one on hand might as well make use of him.”

System 666: What kind of terrible idea is that? The male lead can’t just stay home for treatment!

Meng Yuqing: Who said anything about staying home? Didn’t the psychologist suggest going back to school and being around peers?

System 666: There’s nothing wrong with the male lead!

Meng Yuqing: Are you blind? Look at him, does that seem fine to you? And why couldn’t you just have the psychologist declare me cured directly? Why all this roundabout talk?

System 666: I can’t alter a professional’s expertise. As long as he’s qualified, he’ll eventually notice something’s off. (meekly) Getting him to agree you can return to school is enough.

Truthfully, the system didn’t want to bother making too many changes. Every adjustment increased unpredictable variables, and it wasn’t willing to take that risk.

Meng Yuqing: … (Forget it, not worth arguing.)

Now the psychologist’s attention shifted to Meng Yuzhou, as did the gazes of Meng Xijun and Ye Qin Cao. Meng Yuqing finally managed to extricate herself from the situation.

Before long, Meng Yuqing returned to school.

Her reappearance immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Whether they’d known her before or not, now the entire school knew who she was.

“Wow, that’s her, the girl who jumped from the fifth floor. She’s back.”

“So that’s her? Talk about lucky!”

“Heard she’s got some kind of… you know…”

“Shh! Don’t say that out loud. If she hears, she might jump again right before your eyes!”

A group of students watched Meng Yuqing pass by below, discussing her animatedly. She’d become the hottest topic in school everyone had something to say about her.

Thus, she became famous throughout the school.

When the principal and homeroom teacher learned of Meng Yuqing’s return, they prepared to receive her with utmost care. To them, she was now a fragile glass figurine that needed careful handling. Any mistake could cost them their jobs.

The child of a wealthy family unapproachable, unoffendable, only to be coddled and pampered.

Homeroom teacher Shang Shoujin called Meng Yuqing in for a talk. A slightly plump man with a simple, honest appearance, he was nevertheless an excellent teacher of chemistry.

“Are you ready to resume classes?” Shang Shoujin asked gently. “Would you prefer to rest at home a while longer? With your intelligence, missing some classes won’t matter, you can catch up later.”

“Teacher, I’m fine now. I can attend classes.”

“Oh,” Shang Shoujin looked at this troublesome student. If she said she could attend, he couldn’t very well stop her.

“If you have any problems, you can come to me anytime. As your homeroom teacher,” Shang Shoujin paused for a moment before continuing, “it’s my job to help you solve difficulties, whether they’re academic or personal. Don’t hesitate to reach out. Never try to bear everything alone.”

Shang Shoujin assumed Meng Yuqing had jumped due to unbearable pressure, though the exact reason remained unclear to him, and he didn’t dare to pry further.

“I understand, teacher.”
