I Fall Every Time I Meet an Alpha [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 45
“Achoo!” Zhong Xiaoxiao sneezed involuntarily, her head spinning even more. The scent in the air made her extremely uncomfortable, and she simply slumped onto Meng Yuqing. Her mind was a complete mess, and Zhong Xiaoxiao completely forgot that this was the villainous female supporting character who wanted to harm her.
Meng Yuqing felt Zhong Xiaoxiao’s body gradually sliding downward, so she simply held her to prevent her from collapsing onto the floor.
“What’s that?” someone nearby caught the scent and approached. “Is she in heat?”
Hearing the words “in heat,” Meng Yuqing abruptly looked up and saw a group of people eyeing them hungrily. Their gazes were all fixed on the disoriented Zhong Xiaoxiao, their expressions filled with desire, as if they were ready to pounce on her at any moment.
Meng Yuqing urgently called out: System!
System 666: She is in heat. Hurry up and take her to the restroom, it’s too dangerous out here.
Meng Yuqing’s expression darkened at the words, and she quickly dragged Zhong Xiaoxiao into the restroom. Only after entering the innermost stall and locking the door did her heart finally settle.
The Alphas followed them to the restroom entrance, but still somewhat rational, they merely lingered outside without entering.
“Meng Yuqing!” Zhong Xiaoxiao sat on the gilded toilet seat, looking utterly dazed as she tugged at Meng Yuqing’s skirt. Her grip was surprisingly strong so much so that she nearly pulled the skirt right off.
“What are you doing?” Meng Yuqing laughed helplessly, holding onto her skirt. “Harassing innocent women now?”
Zhong Xiaoxiao slid her hands upward along the skirt, grabbing the fabric at Meng Yuqing’s chest. Her eyes glazed over as she grinned at her. “You smell so good~”
“Meng Yuqing, you smell so good~” Suddenly, Zhong Xiaoxiao began sniffing all over her like a little puppy.
Even Meng Yuqing, who had been pretending to stay composed, couldn’t withstand such intense sniffing. Her body gradually grew warm, and her head began to spin as well.
Meng Yuqing: System! Fix this now!
System 666: There’s a Suppressant here. Feed it to her.
Meng Yuqing: No spray version?
She felt that feeding something to someone in this state would be difficult, what if she choked?
System 666: Only this for now.
Meng Yuqing took the Suppressant, thinking she should take some too, lest both of them lose their minds and cause a major incident.
Zhong Xiaoxiao, her vision blurry, saw Meng Yuqing eating something. Her heart stirred, and she leaned in, whining, “I want some, too.”
Her soft lips pressed against Meng Yuqing’s, and Meng Yuqing’s eyes widened slightly. Her head spun even more. Those lips were so soft, and Zhong Xiaoxiao herself was so soft, so sweet she loved it.
Unable to support her own weakening body, Meng Yuqing was pulled down by Zhong Xiaoxiao. Zhong Xiaoxiao fell back onto the toilet seat, while Meng Yuqing braced herself against the lid, their lips still locked together as they desperately drank in each other’s sweetness.
System 666: … (What are you two doing?! I can’t even look.)
Meng Yuqing pushed the capsule from her mouth into Zhong Xiaoxiao’s, forcing it deep enough to make her swallow. Zhong Xiaoxiao, completely irrational now, only followed her instincts, seeking comforting relief. With great effort, Meng Yuqing raised her hand and pushed her away. The moment their lips parted, she hurriedly swallowed a capsule herself.
But as soon as she did, Zhong Xiaoxiao clung to her again.
Meng Yuqing was both delighted and exasperated. She soothed her as the two of them, dizzy and disoriented, waited for the medicine to take effect.
“Is anyone in there?” The teacher’s voice came from outside the stall.
Clearly, the commotion outside had alerted the teacher.
“Meng Yuqing, Zhong Xiaoxiao, are you in there?” The teacher knocked on the bathroom door, though not yet on their stall.
Meng Yuqing regained some of her senses and pushed away the clingy, blushing Zhong Xiaoxiao. As much as she wanted to stay tangled up with her, the teacher had arrived. They had to go out.
“Meng Yuqing, Zhong Xiaoxiao, are you in there?” The teacher finally knocked on their stall.
“Teacher, we’re here,” Meng Yuqing replied, helping Zhong Xiaoxiao up. Zhong Xiaoxiao was half-conscious and half-dazed, completely unaware of what had happened. She looked around, why was she in the bathroom? She had no memory of coming here.
“Let’s go,” Meng Yuqing whispered to her. Zhong Xiaoxiao glanced at Meng Yuqing and, whether it was the dim lighting or something else, she suddenly felt that Meng Yuqing wasn’t so bad after all.
The door opened, and the two stepped out.
The teacher took one look at them and immediately asked, “Are you… feeling unwell? You should go to the infirmary right away.”
With the teacher’s help, the two headed to the infirmary.
“You’re in heat,” the school doctor said to Zhong Xiaoxiao. “First time, right?”
In heat?! What the hell?! Zhong Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the doctor, then turned to Meng Yuqing standing beside her. This was so damn awkward, the doctor just announced she was in heat right in front of someone else!
Meng Yuqing answered for her, “It should be her first time. She doesn’t understand anything.”
What do you mean I don’t understand anything?! Explain yourselves! What do you mean I was in heat? When did that happen? I just fainted for a second and leaned on Meng Yuqing, that counts as being in heat?!
This was a serious accusation, like being charged with public indecency!
Feeling her reputation under attack, Zhong Xiaoxiao quickly defended herself, “I wasn’t! I’m a perfectly decent girl…”
“An Omega’s first heat requires plenty of rest. Don’t overexert yourself…”
Huh? Omega? Zhong Xiaoxiao’s mind buzzed, and suddenly, everything clicked.
She had transmigrated into an ABO novel.
She had transmigrated into an ABO novel!
Because the world initially seemed no different from reality, she had completely forgotten, this was an Alpha, Beta, Omega universe!
Oh god!
So, as the Omega protagonist, she really had gone into heat…
Whatever else the school doctor said, Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t hear a word. She was lost in her thoughts, unable to snap out of it.
The shock of this revelation was too much. That dizzying loss of control, just thinking about it made her shudder. It was like being blackout drunk, except getting drunk usually happened around friends, in a relatively safe environment. This was completely different. Heat could strike anytime, anywhere, regardless of who was around.
If she went into heat and got taken advantage of by a bunch of Alphas, how could she ever live with herself?
God, in an ABO world, being an Omega was so tragic, doomed to be toyed with by Alphas!
Still supported by Meng Yuqing as they left the infirmary, Zhong Xiaoxiao remained dazed. She couldn’t accept this.
Seeing her devastated expression, Meng Yuqing tried to comfort her, “It’s okay. Once you take a Suppressant, you’ll be fine.”
“Suppressant?” Oh right! The Suppressant! Zhong Xiaoxiao finally saw a glimmer of hope. She asked Meng Yuqing, “Where’s the Suppressant?”
“Right here, the school doctor prescribed it.” Meng Yuqing was holding a bag. Zhong Xiaoxiao snatched it immediately and clutched it tightly in her hands.
Seeing this, Meng Yuqing couldn’t help but laugh, “You don’t need to be so nervous.”
How could I not be nervous! Zhong Xiaoxiao was facing a situation beyond her control. Even as an adult, she couldn’t handle it. She was bound by the rules of this world’s setting, she couldn’t stop herself from going into heat. If that happened, it would be disastrous.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was deeply worried, her mind in turmoil.
Before, she had been bold enough to go anywhere alone. But now, knowing she could go into heat, she suddenly became timid. Everyone around her could potentially harm her, and Zhong Xiaoxiao had no intention of experiencing anything unpleasant.
It’s fine, it’s fine, she reassured herself. The female lead must be a pure and innocent little white flower. The author wouldn’t subject her to anything bad otherwise, the author would be drowned in backlash…
“You can just stay with me from now on.” Sensing her anxiety, Meng Yuqing reached out and took her hand. Gazing at her flushed lips, Meng Yuqing momentarily lost focus before turning her head slightly away and murmuring, “I told you I’d protect you.”
“Meng Yuqing!” Zhong Xiaoxiao hadn’t completely let her guard down. Uneasy, she stammered, “I won’t be with your brother anymore. Please don’t hurt me, I’m begging you…”
Even the Meng Yuqing she knew best could one day become the demon who harmed her. If she were thrown into a crowd of Alphas while in heat, she couldn’t even imagine the consequences.
She would probably lose her mind.
“Fine,” Meng Yuqing agreed. “As long as you stay away from my brother.”
“I promise!” Zhong Xiaoxiao said quickly. “I don’t like your brother at all!”
“If you don’t like my brother, then who do you like?” Meng Yuqing suddenly grinned, leaning closer to her face. “Do you like my brother’s sister?”
No. Zhong Xiaoxiao glared. If she remembered correctly, Meng Yuqing was also an Omega.
Compared to Alphas, Omegas were relatively safe non-aggressive, peace-loving.
But two Omegas could never be together.
System 666: Aaaah! Stop derailing the plot! Meng Yuqing! Do you want to be punished again? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Meng Yuqing: What did I do? I just saved the female lead’s life, shouldn’t you log that?
System 666: Oh really? How exactly did you “save” her?
The system blushed at the memory: That wasn’t saving her! That was taking advantage of her!
Meng Yuqing: She was the one who clung to me. My fault? Besides, I was in heat too, I couldn’t help it.
System 666: That’s just an excuse!
System 666: Anyway, fix the plot ASAP! The female lead has been broken up with the male lead for days now, zero progress!
Meng Yuqing: Didn’t I say it’s normal for couples to break up and make up? The breakup is part of the plot.
System 666: Then hurry up and get them back together!
Meng Yuqing: Yeah, yeah, you’re so naggy.
The system fumed at her response. It wanted to whip her with a tiny lash.
Meng Yuqing led Zhong Xiaoxiao back to the classroom, and everyone’s gazes toward Zhong Xiaoxiao had changed. To put it simply, the Alphas wore expressions of bashfulness mixed with something indescribable. The Omegas’ faces showed curiosity, surprise, and astonishment. Meeting their stares, Zhong Xiaoxiao immediately felt like she was the center of unwanted attention, the last time they had looked at her like this was when she returned from the hospital.
“Uh, class rep, I heard you fainted. Are you okay?” A usually boisterous boy now spoke shyly, almost embarrassed to address her.
“I’m fine,” Zhong Xiaoxiao replied, instinctively stepping away from him.
Zhong Xiaoxiao’s world had undergone a seismic shift that day. Before, her world had only consisted of men and women now, it was solely Alphas and Omegas.
She instinctively avoided all Alphas except for one: the male lead. An Alpha male lead.
A faint trace of pheromones still lingered around Zhong Xiaoxiao. Meng Yuzhou caught the sweet scent, his head growing hot and dizzy. He was closest to her, torn between resisting his instincts and the overwhelming urge to move closer.
“Are you okay?” Meng Yuzhou gritted his teeth, forcing out a concerned question. “Do you want to take leave and go home to rest?”
Hearing that she could take leave and go home, Zhong Xiaoxiao suddenly brightened, that’s right! Why was she foolishly staying at school, surrounded by these wolves? She wasn’t even here to study seriously, she could just take leave and rest at home! Like taking days off for her period, she could rest for two or three days before returning. In this situation, even the female lead’s mother wouldn’t blame her.
Having made up her mind, she said to him, “Then, can you ask the teacher for leave for me?”
“Okay,” Meng Yuzhou agreed, though he was uneasy about her going alone. “I…” He wanted to say he’d take her home, but then realized he might be the greater danger to her. The words stuck in his throat.
Meng Yuqing spoke up from behind, “I’ll take her home. Brother, just handle the leave for us.”
“Alright,” Meng Yuzhou had no choice but to agree.
Zhong Xiaoxiao packed her bag and truly went home.
