Marking the Tsundere Eldest Miss of the Noble Academy [Omega] - Chapter 5

After the “You Xinghai Gropes Wen Xiaoyue” incident occurred, the people of the Elite Class immediately spread the news, and it soon reached every corner of the academy.

Wen Xiaoyue’s self-appointed guardian knights could not bear the disgrace. They spontaneously organized a group and marched grandly toward the Dean’s Office to demand justice, insisting that the degenerate You Xinghai be expelled immediately!

In the International Class, students discussed the matter heatedly: “I thought You Xinghai went home, but she actually went to the Elite Class to attend lessons.”

“She probably realized she could not catch an Omega in the International Class, so she went back to the Elite Class to try her old tricks.”

“How desperate for love can she be?”

Hearing the news, Guan Yinqi was even more shocked. You Xinghai had just confessed to her this morning, and in the span of a single class period, she had gone to harass Wen Xiaoyue. She really was not a good person. She was a scumbag Alpha!

You Xinghai, who had earned the title of “Scumbag Alpha” without even knowing it, remained indifferent to the commotion around her.

After all, that classroom had surveillance cameras. She was completely innocent and was not afraid of whatever rumors were being spread.

You Xinghai thought to herself: The first day in this book and I have already unlocked the “Degenerate” achievement. How surreal.

In her past life, she lived in a world with only two genders, male and female. To her, physical contact between girls was perfectly normal. She had never heard of a girl being called a creep for helping another girl. She did not feel that touching an Omega’s back was a big deal at all.

Ultimately, the farce came to an end when Wen Xiaoyue, having calmed down, personally went to the Academic Affairs Office to admit that You Xinghai was actually helping her. The entire ordeal lasted less than half a day, proving just how much free time the students at this academy had.

During the third period of self-study, Wen Xiaoyue walked slowly back into the classroom. Although her expression remained cold and haughty, her gaze toward You Xinghai held a hint of guilt.

She was the one who had indiscriminately called the other person a creep and ran out without giving her a chance to explain. This had led to You Xinghai being slandered by everyone, yet now everyone was busy comforting Wen Xiaoyue. You Xinghai had truly suffered a disaster out of nowhere.

However, the thought of an Alpha’s hand touching her sensitive back, even through her clothes, still made her feel ashamed and annoyed.

Does You Xinghai have no awareness of being an Alpha at all!

Wen Xiaoyue sat back in her seat without a word, turning a deaf ear to her surroundings. Her behavior was observed by the others, leading to another wave of pity for her.

Look, Xiaoyue is so angry she does not even want to speak!

They did not believe for a second that You Xinghai had done nothing. They figured Xiaoyue was simply too kind and was giving a person like You Xinghai a way out!

Feeling the weight of everyone’s disdainful and accusatory stares, You Xinghai rubbed her head.

Wen Xiaoyue is back? Good. I thought this world was so feudal that an Omega would consider taking their own life just because they were touched.

You Xinghai did not particularly care about being wronged. However, in these kinds of rumors, the victim always receives more attention than the perpetrator. She was actually worried about whether Wen Xiaoyue’s reputation would be damaged.

It was similar to a situation where people condemn person A for hitting person B. For the one who did the hitting, it often becomes a badge of honor, while the one who was hit is seen as weak and incompetent.

You Xinghai glanced up at Wen Xiaoyue and then quickly looked back down. She was afraid that if she kept looking, a new rumor would start about her staring lecherously at the girl.

In a place where You Xinghai could not see, Wen Xiaoyue quietly propped up her book and hid behind it to check her phone.

As a top student, she would normally never play on her phone during class, but today was a special case.

Someone noticed Wen Xiaoyue fiddling with her phone and whispered:

“Xiaoyue is actually using her phone in class. That is so rare.”

“She must feel very wronged and is complaining to someone about You Xinghai’s evil deeds.”

“I feel so bad for her. She was groped by those wandering hands for no reason at all.”

Amidst the sympathetic words, other perspectives were mixed in.

“Hehe, that is what she gets for acting so pure and lofty all the time. Karma finally hit her.”

“Some ‘cold goddess’ she is. She thinks she has ascended just because she has a bit of money.”

“Haha, finally someone found a way to disgust her!”

You Xinghai peeked up again, only to see Wen Xiaoyue completely absorbed in her phone as if she had heard nothing at all.

The morning classes passed smoothly. You Xinghai packed her books, preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

“You, wait a moment.”

A voice smaller than a mosquito’s buzz called out to her.

You Xinghai turned her head and saw Wen Xiaoyue staring at her with a complicated expression.

Their gazes met again. Wen Xiaoyue, who had been hesitating, seemed to snap out of it suddenly. She felt she was making a mountain out of a molehill.

She is just a minor parvenu. Why am I so nervous?

At that thought, she regained her usual cold expression and her tone became more normal.

“I am sorry about what happened today. Thank you for helping me, but please pay a bit more attention to the level of physical contact in the future.”

Wen Xiaoyue felt she had delivered her lines quite decently, staying true to her persona.

Whatever changes had occurred in You Xinghai had nothing to do with her.

You Xinghai watched her rapid change of face with confusion, thinking to herself: The mental processes of these main characters are truly unpredictable.

On the surface, however, since Wen Xiaoyue seemed fine, she gave a casual response: “Sure, whatever makes you happy.”

Just as You Xinghai was about to leave, she saw Wen Xiaoyue still standing there, staring at her. She paused. “Is there anything else?”

Wen Xiaoyue frowned slightly, looking as if the person in front of her were an alien.

Why can she act so indifferent?

Even though her reputation was dragged through the mud because of me, she shows no resentment toward me, no concern, and she even ignores all those baseless rumors.

She spoke her thoughts aloud instinctively: “Are you really that thick-skinned? Why do you have no reaction to those words?”

You Xinghai thought: Why are you suddenly insulting me?

However, she understood Wen Xiaoyue well enough to know she was a blunt, sharp-tongued goddess. Surprisingly, she could read a hint of concern within that highly targeted question.

She figured Wen Xiaoyue was referring to the various malicious comments from the outside world.

To her, the people saying those things were just low-IQ NPCs. There was no need to waste energy arguing with them. Even if she won today, they would just reappear tomorrow with their memories refreshed.

Furthermore, those people were targeting the You Xinghai from the original story, the parvenu, not her.

Meeting Wen Xiaoyue’s probing gaze, You Xinghai replied nonchalantly, “It is fine. Being talked about does not make me lose any weight.”

She lowered her head slightly and looked earnestly at Wen Xiaoyue’s lovely face. While thinking that the girl looked like a porcelain doll when she was not blushing, she said casually, “As for you, do not pay too much attention to the gossip.”

You are a proper character in this novel, a native of this world. You are much more susceptible to being affected than I am.

Well, then again, the Eldest Miss Wen is something of a daughter of destiny. Although she does not find love, her abilities and career soar. She certainly is not some fragile glass heart that needs my worrying.

As she expected, Wen Xiaoyue immediately let out a “Tsk” and said, “Mind your own business.”

Yes, that is the right vibe.

Upon entering the magnificent cafeteria, You Xinghai could not help but marvel at how wonderful it was to be rich. This academy not only had a beautiful dining environment but also offered specialty cuisines from all over the world. Every window was different, and if you had the money, you could eat whatever you wanted.

She used the original owner’s memories to find her meal card and cautiously bought a bottle of water first.

“Transaction: 3 yuan. Balance: 23,333 yuan.”

What a lucky number.

This was the first time You Xinghai had experienced the glory of having over twenty thousand yuan on a meal card. In a normal school, a student probably could not finish that amount even by graduation.

She approached the seafood window and happily ordered a plate of spicy crawfish.

“Transaction: 148 yuan. Balance: 23,185 yuan.”

So expensive!

Even though she had achieved financial freedom through her skills in her past life, she was still a long way from being truly wealthy. She would have hesitated for a long time before buying a plate of crawfish for 148 yuan!

To soothe the pain in her wallet, she took out her phone and tentatively checked her WeChat balance.

“…”

Okay, let us buy another plate.

“Look, there is You Xinghai.”

“Who is she?”

“You do not know? That is the Alpha who harassed Xiaoyue.”

“Ugh, what a creep.”

Enduring the stares of those who looked at her like she was a pervert, You Xinghai carried her tray and looked for a seat.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on a familiar person nearby.

It was Guan Yinqi.

The Little White Flower came from a poor family and could not afford the expensive animal-cream bread from the academy supermarket. Fortunately, the cafeteria provided subsidized meals for students with limited financial means. The girl survived on a few bland dishes.

An aristocratic academy, a scholarship student, a subsidized meal, and sitting in a prominent position, You Xinghai could guess exactly what would happen next.

Sure enough, Chen Shiru and her friends arrived, carrying colorful meals that looked very expensive. Their eyes were immediately drawn to Guan Yinqi as if they were magnets. Chen Shiru covered her mouth and giggled, “Oh dear, why are you eating so little? Are you on a diet lately?”

“Eat more! Maybe you will have more energy to study if you are not hungry? No wonder your grades are so good.”

“You guys are terrible. All you do is talk. Do you not know she has no money? Let me treat you to a meal.”

“Come on, come with us.”

As she spoke, Chen Shiru grabbed Guan Yinqi’s arm, intending to drag her away.

Being publicly humiliated, Guan Yinqi was naturally unwilling. She twisted her arm and struggled. “No!”

Clang!

In her struggle, she accidentally knocked over the plate in Chen Shiru’s hand. Multicolored liquids and solids instantly stained Chen Shiru’s school uniform like a painter’s palette.

Chen Shiru was furious: “You little bitch! I was kind enough to take you to lunch, and you dare to get my clothes dirty!”

She slammed her tray down and raised her hand to slap Guan Yinqi’s face.

In a flash, another hand shot out from the void and tightly gripped Chen Shiru’s falling palm!

Gu Yingyu arrived with a royal aura, casting a fierce glance at Chen Shiru, whose face instantly turned pale. “You dare to hit her? You will have to get through me first!”

You Xinghai: Peeling shrimp.

Chen Shiru was in a miserable state. Not only were her clothes ruined, but she was also being glared at by her secret crush. She broke down on the spot: “What is so good about her that you protect her like this!”

You Xinghai: Removing the shrimp vein.

“Hah! Compared to a group of malicious people like you, she is better in every way!”

You Xinghai: Dipping in vinegar.

“Gu Yingyu! I hate you!”

You Xinghai: Munch, munch, munch.

As expected, this kind of drama is only fun when you are not the one involved.
