I Fall Every Time I Meet an Alpha [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 59

“Ah!” Zhong Xiaoxiao stumbled backward, but Meng Yuqing reacted swiftly, reaching out to catch her before she could fall.

Zhong Xiaoxiao straightened up, her hands instinctively clutching the front of Meng Yuqing’s clothes. The two were now standing extremely close. Zhong Xiaoxiao’s heart pounded wildly, half from fright, half from excitement.

Holy shit, this is like something straight out of a damn idol drama!

Zhong Xiaoxiao even had the spare mental capacity to marvel at the situation.

Under the surge of emotions, Meng Yuqing’s pheromones leaked out again. Gentle and non-aggressive, they unfurled like angel wings from behind Meng Yuqing, swiftly enveloping the omega before her. Zhong Xiaoxiao felt warmth spread through her entire body, every pore relaxing. Her bones tingled, the back of her neck itched, and an emptiness deep within demanded to be filled.

The air was thick with an intoxicating fragrance, sweet and heavy with panting breaths. Zhong Xiaoxiao’s face flushed a rosy red, making her look breathtakingly beautiful. Meng Yuqing held this soft, pliant omega in her arms, her heart racing like never before. It thundered violently, as if trying to break free from her chest.

Perhaps driven by the instinctual attraction between an Alpha and Omega, Meng Yuqing couldn’t resist. She slowly lowered her head, intent on tasting the nectar of those lips.

The system, witnessing this, couldn’t help but scream: MENG YUQING!!!!!

Meng Yuqing’s mind spun dizzily, her ability to communicate with the system completely lost as she surrendered to instinct, leaning in closer. Zhong Xiaoxiao melted in her embrace, parting her sweet, alluring lips in invitation.

The system was furious. It reached into space, pulling out an oversized, kawaii inflatable hammer about its own size and swung it down with a loud thunk onto the back of Meng Yuqing’s head. But instead of letting go, Meng Yuqing only tightened her grip, kissing Zhong Xiaoxiao even more fiercely.

“What are you two doing over there?” The subject teacher suddenly appeared at the classroom door.

Lost in their passion, the two had long forgotten their surroundings, completely absorbed in their kiss. Only the system remained, panicking on the sidelines.

The system hurled the inflatable hammer to block the teacher’s view, then pulled out a packet of suppressants from its dimensional space, scattering them over the two with a whoosh.

Glittering powder filled the air, forcibly separating them.

The sweet, cloying scent vanished, replaced by the revolting stench of a dead rat emanating from each other.

After pulling apart, Meng Yuqing and Zhong Xiaoxiao exchanged a confused glance before simultaneously turning away to vomit.

The inflatable hammer drifted past the teacher’s eyes, obscuring the scandalous scene. By the time the hammer returned to the system’s grasp, all the teacher saw was the two of them vomiting rainbows… Before she could get a closer look, the stench of dead rat hit her, and she too doubled over, gagging.

The odor seeped into the classroom. Those closest immediately covered their noses and leapt up. “Oh god! What is that smell?! So disgusting, ugh!”

Gagging sounds erupted as others inside began vomiting as well.

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of class.

A strong gust of wind blew in, dispersing the stench further and wider.

Class (2)’s room reeked as if a hundred rats had died inside, driving all the students out. They retched and screamed in chaos, the scene devolving into utter pandemonium.

Only when the smell gradually faded did the madness subside.

Zhong Xiaoxiao and Meng Yuqing returned to the classroom with grim expressions, beginning to resent the sight of each other.

As soon as Zhong Xiaoxiao sat down, Meng Yuzhou, who had just returned to the classroom, caught a whiff of the dead rat stench emanating from her. The odor was so overpowering that he had to frown and stand up again to leave.

“Class rep, you, you smell awful!” a boy covered his nose and pointed at Zhong Xiaoxiao, shouting. “So it was you giving off that stench! Ew~ it’s disgusting!”

Zhong Xiaoxiao glared at him with a dark expression, then sniffed herself and asked earnestly, “Does it smell?”

Her question made the accuser hesitate. He held back his disgust and leaned in for a closer sniff, it didn’t seem to be coming from her after all. His nose trailed until it reached Meng Yuqing. Meng Yuqing shot him a dagger-like glare, as if warning that one more step would mean death.

The boy shuddered at her gaze and immediately jumped back. “She, she—” As for what she was like, he didn’t dare elaborate, only covering his nose and retreating far away. But the implication was clear.

The target of disdain shifted from Zhong Xiaoxiao to Meng Yuqing.

No one dared to come within five meters of Meng Yuqing.

Meng Yuqing, displeased, questioned the system: What did you do? How did it end up like this?

System 666: Hmph, you have the nerve to ask. If you hadn’t suddenly tried to do this and that to the female lead, would I have resorted to such measures?

Meng Yuqing recalled the earlier events she hadn’t forgotten. Now, the haze of infatuation had been completely dispelled by the dead rat stench. In a foul mood, her tone turned sharp: It wasn’t intentional. She’s an Omega, I’m an Alpha, isn’t mutual attraction natural?

System 666: Oh, right. Then how about this? I’ll castrate you.

Meng Yuqing: …

System 666: Not literally. I’ll just tie a knot in your gland. Then you’ll never emit pheromones again.

Meng Yuqing: My parents and brother already know I’m an Alpha. If you tie my gland and it’s discovered during a hospital checkup, I’ll just have to get surgery anyway. Why go through the trouble?

The system considered this and found it reasonable: Then what do you suggest? I won’t let you harm the female lead, no matter what.

Meng Yuqing knew the system was already very dissatisfied, and she was growing weary of it too. Maybe it really was just the instinctual Alpha-Omega attraction that made her act this way toward the female lead. It had to be.

Meng Yuqing: Just remove my gland. I can be an Omega or a Beta.

Seeing her cooperation, the system’s anger lessened slightly. It said: True, this issue needs a proper solution. An Alpha posing a threat to the female lead is absolutely unacceptable. Omegas are too easily influenced by others, which would be inconvenient. I think you’re best off as an ordinary Beta. After all, you’re just a side character.

Meng Yuqing: Fine. Then I’ll be a Beta.

System 666: Then bear with it, I’m removing your gland now.

Meng Yuqing: Mm.

The system floated behind Meng Yuqing, reached for the back of her neck, and upon locating the gland, yanked it out. The pain was excruciating like having her tendons and bones ripped out leaving Meng Yuqing’s vision blacking out as she nearly fainted. She clenched her teeth, struggling not to make a sound.

The system pulled out her gland a thin, root-like tendril resembling a ginseng root.

The system extracting Meng Yuqing’s gland was also a way of punishing her. After the punishment, it took out a pain-relief spray and spritzed it over the spot where the gland had been removed, instantly numbing the pain.

Meng Yuqing was no longer in pain, but she felt utterly drained. Her spirit was gone, her face pale as she slumped over the desk, overwhelmed by an inexplicable wave of despair.

That suffocating, intense despair drowned her, forcing tears to well up in her eyes.

Zhong Xiaoxiao heard the heavy breathing behind her and couldn’t help but glance back only to see Meng Yuqing lying on the desk, crying…

Oh my god! What was going on?!

Zhong Xiaoxiao was shocked.

She had completely forgotten the delirious state she’d been in earlier. It was as if a chunk of her memory was missing no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall why she and Meng Yuqing had suddenly vomited together before returning.

Now, seeing Meng Yuqing shedding tears, she was stunned.

What was happening? Should she comfort her?

Hearing Zhong Xiaoxiao’s thoughts, Meng Yuqing lifted her head and looked at her. She realized that the intense affection she once felt for Zhong Xiaoxiao was gone. The memories remained, but the emotions had vanished. Now, she regarded her with indifference.

“Are… you okay?” Zhong Xiaoxiao asked hesitantly when their eyes met.

“Do I know you?” Meng Yuqing raised her head, her phoenix eyes glaring with disdain, that haughty aura returning, even if it was a haughtiness with tear-stained lashes.

Fine, they weren’t close. Not close at all! Zhong Xiaoxiao angrily turned back around. She couldn’t care less about her!

The foul stench in the classroom had faded without anyone noticing. Order was restored, and everyone returned to their lessons.

Meng Yuqing sat in her seat, staring coldly at Zhong Xiaoxiao. She no longer found her cute or soft. The girl was just sitting there quietly, doing nothing, not even provoking her, yet Meng Yuqing felt nothing but irritation.

She wanted to bully her. Wanted to see her cry.

Meng Yuqing felt the malicious instincts inside her awakening. She struggled to suppress the overwhelming urge to torment Zhong Xiaoxiao. This time was different from before she genuinely wanted to bully her, to the point of destruction. The impulse was violent, a primal scream from the depths of her soul, leaving her restless.

The system was pleased to see Meng Yuqing back to normal. As expected, it had been the influence of Omega or Alpha hormones that made her disobedient before. Now that she was a Beta, she would no longer be affected and could finally become compliant.

System 666: Perfect. Keep it up.

Meng Yuqing: …

During English class, Zhong Xiaoxiao was handing out test papers, moving up and down the rows. When she reached Meng Yuqing’s desk, Meng Yuqing stuck out her foot and tripped her hard.

“Ah!” With a sharp cry, Zhong Xiaoxiao crashed to the floor.

Everyone turned to look and burst into laughter. Meng Yuqing smirked down at her. “Can’t you watch where you’re going?”

Damn it, Meng Yuqing! Zhong Xiaoxiao nearly snapped, ready to retaliate but just as she was about to, the teacher approached and asked with concern, “What happened? Are you alright?”

“Oh, I’m fine,” Zhong Xiaoxiao said, lowering her metaphorical weapon in front of the teacher.

She shouldn’t have let her guard down. Fuming, Zhong Xiaoxiao returned to her seat. She’s the villainous female supporting character! Why did I ever soften toward her? Now I’ve screwed myself over!

No, Zhong Xiaoxiao refused to just take this humiliation lying down, she wanted to pass on the hurt!

She grabbed a scrap of paper, scribbled a line, and showed it to Meng Yuzhou.

“Your sister is so mean. She tripped me and laughed at me T_T”

Reading those words, Meng Yuzhou felt both heartache and fury. He really wanted to grab his sister and give her a beating. Back when she was an omega, he’d been afraid of hurting her. But now she was an Alpha and had become utterly insufferable.

One fight had awakened Meng Yuzhou’s violent tendencies, completely shifting his mindset. Why shouldn’t he beat her? If she wouldn’t listen, he’d just beat her until she obeyed.
