Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 30

Feng Jiying, in an obvious attempt to cover things up, placed a few more folders into the car.

Xiao Bai glanced back at Feng Jiying, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated. “President Feng, I don’t see anyone from the Federal Government following us… and also—”

“And also what?” Feng Jiying paused his writing and gently rubbed the fountain pen in his hand.

Xiao Bai swallowed nervously.

“President, didn’t you say that there was still a lot of work to finish, and you planned to work overtime through the night? Also, Miss Gu’s genetic suppression collar is broken. Without the indicator light’s control, there’s no need for you and Miss Gu Qiqi to stay together for more than twelve hours, right?”

“I’m not… I’m not questioning you, President. I just feel that… working on documents in the car like this—might it be too exhausting for you?”

Feng Jiying lifted his gaze from the file, his eyes briefly sharp as he looked at Xiao Bai.

She immediately shut her mouth and covered it with both hands, blinking her slightly rounded eyes.

Did she just say something too truthful?

It looked like the President was getting angry.

But—why would he be angry? There’s no real reason to be upset.

Could it be… the President really is interested in Gu Qiqi?

Just as Feng Jiying was about to speak—

Xiao Bai transformed into the perfect assistant, smoothing over the awkwardness with a quick explanation. “I get it now! President, you’re rebelling against those annoying old geezers, aren’t you? They’re always making so many demands of you. Outwardly, you agree, but in private, you’re resisting. When they tell you to go east, you deliberately go west, just to spite them!”

Was that how the ancient humans used this idiom?

“But President, you just went through your sensitivity phase, and it triggered a fever period as well. Your body’s taken quite a toll. A bit of rest and relaxation is actually a good thing. Alright then, I’ll start driving. Please sit tight.”

Xiao Bai quickly turned around and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

She had a strong feeling that if she didn’t know her place, this year’s bonus might just disappear.

Feng Jiying said nothing.

She glanced at the terminal on her wrist. Time was running short.

Her expression didn’t change, but her tone was calm as she spoke. “Try to be quick.”

She paused, then added, “Also, your analysis was accurate. You’ll get a bonus this month.”

Xiao Bai let out an excited, high-pitched squeal. “Thank you, President! I’ll give it my all, work tirelessly, go through fire and water, and I’ll make sure to keep unnecessary comments to myself.”

Given Feng Jiying’s distinguished identity, her car was equally unique.

In the Interstellar Federation, everyone, young and old, could recognize it as a personalized luxury vehicle.

Even during peak traffic hours, other drivers would instinctively clear a path for her.

Feng Jiying arrived at the 330 Military Academy precisely on time, stopping at the school gate just as the final bell rang. It was hard not to draw attention.

She glanced at her terminal, calculating when Gu Qiqi should be walking out.

With only thirty seconds left, she quickly opened the folder in her hand and placed it on the small table in front of her, pretending to be focused on work, as if about to be interrupted.

The setting sun shone through the slightly lowered car window, casting a warm light on her face.

That soft golden glow softened her normally cool features, making her look breathtaking and gentle.

She unbuttoned the collar of her shirt slightly, revealing a glimpse of her collarbone, which still had faint traces of kiss marks that hadn’t completely faded.

Her slender neck and high nose bridge, combined with a few loose strands of hair resting naturally on her face, created an almost ethereal atmosphere in the evening light. She looked like a living painting.

After a while, her neck began to ache.

She hadn’t been able to focus on the documents at all, even though she usually could skim through them in minutes.

Her brows knitted slightly in frustration.

Suddenly, the sound of the car door opening caught her attention. She immediately straightened her posture, lifted her chin to reveal her elegant neckline, and adjusted her angle.

Today, she had even worn a pair of smooth, radiant pearl earrings, which was rare for her.

She looked flawless and composed.

But the person opening the car door was Xiao Bai.

“President, it’s already been over half an hour. I’ve been waiting here the whole time, but Miss Gu hasn’t come out.”

Feng Jiying frowned more deeply. “Wasn’t someone following her? Ask what happened.”

Xiao Bai’s heart skipped a beat. It felt like she had angered the president again.

“But President, didn’t you say this afternoon to withdraw the people assigned to protect Miss Gu?”

Is my bonus really gone this time?

Feng Jiying was silent for a moment, then asked, “Could it be that Gu Qiqi didn’t see the car?”

Xiao Bai replied, “That’s unlikely. Every Alpha who comes out of the school gate stares at your car and gasps in amazement. We were already parked here before the bell rang. I checked every Alpha who exited. Miss Gu definitely wasn’t among them.”

Feng Jiying placed the file aside in irritation and stepped out of the car.

Xiao Bai mumbled nervously, “Could something has happened to Miss Gu? Especially with that creepy principal still around…”

“Wait, President! Are you really…”

Xiao Bai rushed to block Feng Jiying’s path.

“President, you’re not planning to go into the 330 Military Academy, are you? That’s the Alpha campus. It’s not safe for you to go in alone. Besides, you just got through your fever period. What if there are Alphas with bad intentions?”

Feng Jiying looked toward the school gates.

There was almost no one left inside.

That idiot, Gu Qiqi.

If she had run into something she couldn’t handle, why didn’t she reach out?

Feng Jiying said calmly, “Don’t worry. I’m wearing a pheromone-blocking patch. Ordinary Alphas won’t affect me. Stay here. If anything comes up, I’ll contact you.”

Xiao Bai nodded. “Yes, President.”

…

The 330 Military Academy was enormous.

Aside from the buildings for theoretical classes, there were many training grounds scattered across the campus.

The infirmary was located between the Alpha and Omega campuses.

Each side had its own entrance to the infirmary, but the two weren’t connected on the inside.

The area around the infirmary was surrounded by the school’s lushest woods.

The air was fresh, and the scenery was calm and pleasant.

When an Omega was marked by an Alpha, the Alpha’s pheromones would become deeply embedded in the Omega’s glands.

Even a temporary mark could heighten an Omega’s sensitivity to that Alpha’s scent several times over.

Even the slightest trace of pheromone in the air could be detected by an Omega.

Feng Jiying quietly followed the trail of Gu Qiqi’s pheromones.

Inside the infirmary.

“I didn’t expect little Qiqi to still love fighting this much. That part of you hasn’t changed at all,” Wen Rui said as she gently wiped Gu Qiqi’s face with a cotton ball soaked in iodine.

“Be good. Don’t dodge. This isn’t alcohol, it doesn’t sting.”

Gu Qiqi wasn’t reacting from pain. She simply didn’t want to be close to Wen Rui.

She turned her face slightly. “I’m fine. There’s no need to go through all this trouble.”

Wen Rui didn’t respond. She kept cleaning Gu Qiqi’s face carefully.

“Honestly, I’m surprised. You’ve made so many friends now,” Wen Rui said, tossing the used cotton into the bin. She picked up a fresh one, dipped it in iodine, and gently wiped the corner of Gu Qiqi’s mouth.

“You’re nothing like the person you were back in the outer zones. I really want to know what happened to you over these past few years.”

Earlier, Yun San and Song Lin had pushed Gu Qiqi into the treatment room, then turned around and quickly ran off.

They knew very well that Gu Qiqi had a high compatibility rating with the three Omega heirs of Central City’s top families.

No one could resist watching a situation like this unfold.

Gu Qiqi was well aware that Wen Rui was trying to test her.

“What could have happened? Life’s the same. Fighting for resources, fighting for food, just trying to stay alive.”

She looked directly at Wen Rui, her voice calm but distant.

“After all, I’m just an orphan with no one to rely on. Not like certain people, who can go straight back to Central City and reclaim their place at the top the moment their identity is restored, like the beloved young lady of the Wen family.”

Wen Rui’s hand paused, then the corners of her lips curved into a smile. Her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. “So little Qiqi still resents me? Are you angry that I left without saying goodbye?”

She sighed softly and began to explain. “Back then, the situation was dangerous. I could barely protect myself, and I didn’t want to drag you down with me. Besides… I didn’t leave without a word. I gave you all the money I had on me, and I left a note with the Wen family’s address in Central City.”

Gu Qiqi frowned. She had no memory of that at all. She looked at Wen Rui with suspicion.

[System: Host, don’t be fooled by her beauty. Remember, in the game system, you’re the most expendable of the cannon fodder. The ultimate, unbeatable cannon fodder!]

The system had a point.

When Wen Rui had turned on her, she hadn’t hesitated in the slightest.

Wen Rui said, “You don’t have to believe me. I gave the money and the letter to your sister. If you ever get the chance, you can ask her.”

After tossing away the iodine-soaked cotton ball, Wen Rui set down the clamp in her hand. She picked up some medicinal powder and gently sprinkled it on Gu Qiqi’s injured knee. Then she took a bandage and slowly wrapped it around her leg with practiced, gentle hands.

“I checked your injuries. They’re all superficial. But the person you fought with… probably got hurt badly.”

Gu Qiqi didn’t respond.

Wen Rui leaned closer and whispered in her ear, “Try not to come into contact with that Alpha. That’s some advice from your big sister.”

As she spoke, her fingers brushed lightly against Gu Qiqi’s cheek.

“You shouldn’t have come to Central City, little Qiqi. It’s not as wonderful as you think.”

Wen Rui had caught the lingering scent of an Alpha’s pheromones on Gu Qiqi.

Mixed in with that Alpha’s scent was the repulsive trace of the school principal.

The moment Wen Rui touched her, Gu Qiqi turned her head away.

She didn’t bother hiding her emotions in front of Wen Rui. She didn’t care about the consequences.

Gu Qiqi looked at her and wanted to ask why Wen Rui had turned against her under the game system’s control.

“I didn’t come here by choice,” she said softly.

“I know,” Wen Rui replied.

Whether it was coming to Central City or stepping into the infirmary, it had all been her own decision.

“You don’t need to be so guarded. After all, we did share a brief romantic past. You get along so well with Feng Jiying and Liu Huaqing, yet you show so much hostility toward me.”

Gu Qiqi scoffed inwardly.

A wise horse never returns to the pasture it fled from.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

She stood up to leave, but Wen Rui grabbed her wrist. “I can tell you who I really am.”

Gu Qiqi looked at her. “What?”

Wen Rui began to speak.

“The Wen family has always carried a curse involving twins. I’m the weaker Omega of the pair, so the family never paid much attention to me. When I was thirteen, my own mother accidentally abandoned me in the outer zone. That’s where I met my mentor. He’s the only male Omega officer in the entire Federal Government, overseeing the medical division. He controls all of Central City’s medical resources.”

“I’ve always hated the weakness of Omegas and how they’re forced to submit to Alpha control. So I hope that one day, all Omegas in the Interstellar Federation can break free from pheromone dominance.”

“Little Qiqi, I want your help.”

Gu Qiqi replied coldly, “What’s in it for me?”

Wen Rui blinked, taken aback. “What?”

Gu Qiqi bent down slightly and lifted Wen Rui’s chin with a finger. “I’m asking, what do I get if I help you?”

The light in Wen Rui’s fox-like eyes flickered. She opened her mouth but hesitated.

“I know you’ve always wanted to bring your sister to Central City,” she finally said. “If you help me, I’ll submit a request to the authorities to make it happen.”

Gu Qiqi let out a quiet laugh.
“You really haven’t changed at all. Still so full of yourself. Always assuming you know what I’m thinking. Assuming I’d agree to help you. But unfortunately for you… someone else has already taken care of that.”

Wen Rui’s chin was still lifted by Gu Qiqi’s touch. She bit her lip slightly, as if making a bold decision. Then she pulled Gu Qiqi back down onto the treatment bed and leaned in close to her ear, whispering softly,
“If you want me… I wouldn’t say no…”

As she spoke, her hand moved slowly, drawing circles across Gu Qiqi’s chest.

The treatment room carried the faint scent of disinfectant. The curtains swayed lightly in the breeze, making the air cool and refreshing.

Wen Rui’s pheromones began to release gradually, carrying a subtle herbal scent. She kept a close eye on Gu Qiqi’s face, watching her every reaction.

The two were very close—almost too close.

Meanwhile, Feng Jiying had followed the faint trace of Gu Qiqi’s pheromones all the way to the infirmary at the 330 Military Academy.

By now, it had been nearly fifty minutes since school let out. The campus was nearly empty.

The area outside the infirmary was completely silent.

Feng Jiying didn’t need to open the door. Through the glass window, she could clearly see Wen Rui and Gu Qiqi—far too close for comfort.

An unexpected surge of frustration rose in her chest. Her fingers curled slightly in agitation.

From her angle, she could only see the back of Wen Rui’s head… and Gu Qiqi’s face, which looked close enough to be kissing.

Why did seeing that make her feel like she wanted to tear everything apart?

She had already passed her sensitivity period.

Gu Qiqi’s pheromones shouldn’t be affecting her anymore.

Wen Rui noticed the sudden presence of another Omega’s pheromones and turned her head. Her eyes immediately landed on Feng Jiying standing at the door.

“Well, what a surprise. What brings President Feng here today?” she asked with a faint smile.

Wen Rui stood up, taking a step back from Gu Qiqi. She reached into her pocket, pulled out her personal folding fan, and flicked it open, lightly covering her mouth in an attempt to hide her expression.

Gu Qiqi was stunned. “Feng Jiying?”

Feng Jiying’s expression was cold, her tone calm but firm.
“Miss Gu and I are still in the forced compatibility phase. Her safety is my responsibility. I have no reason to let my guard down.”

Since entering her heat period, Feng Jiying’s behavior had clearly shifted more intense, more unpredictable.

Feng Jiying wasn’t as cold as usual. Instead, she was thoughtful and attentive.

It was as if the cold, distant shell had been peeled away, revealing a soft, warm heart beneath it.

At first, Gu Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable with the change, but eventually, she started to get used to it.

When she saw Feng Jiying at the door, Gu Qiqi instinctively stood up in a hurry.

But Wen Rui grabbed her wrist and smiled sweetly.
“Don’t forget what we talked about, little Qiqi.”

Gu Qiqi gently pulled her hand free.

As someone trained to sense danger—especially being a cannon-fodder type in a game system—she knew better than to take chances. Right now, the important thing was to stick with her “sponsor.”

She quickly walked over to Feng Jiying’s side and took her hand.
“What are you doing here?”

Feng Jiying raised an eyebrow.
“Did I come at a bad time? Did I interrupt something? Should I not have shown up?”

Gu Qiqi studied her expression.

Why did that sound so passive-aggressive?

Wen Rui, watching the obvious closeness between them, couldn’t help but notice the natural intimacy in their movements—something she herself had never shared with Gu Qiqi.

As she watched the two walk away, she slowly folded up the fan she had held in front of her mouth. The smile on her face vanished instantly.

They had agreed it would be just about using Gu Qiqi, nothing more. Yet the emptiness in her chest was hard to ignore.

Wen Rui let herself fall backward onto the treatment bed, as if gravity had suddenly become too much to bear. She stretched her fingers toward the ceiling, slowly curling them as if trying to grab hold of something that had already slipped away.

Maybe if she had tried a little harder, she could have held on to what had once been hers—but she had let it go.

And those faint kiss marks on Feng Jiying’s neck and collarbone? They were almost too glaring to look at.

…

Feng Jiying wanted to shake off Gu Qiqi’s hand, but realized her grip was surprisingly strong. She couldn’t break free.

“Feng Jiying, why are you walking so fast?” Gu Qiqi followed behind her, confused.

“Why did you go into the Alpha zone alone? What if you ran into a dangerous Alpha and got hurt?”

The campus was quiet as they walked, one in front of the other.

Feng Jiying was frustrated with herself. Why had she lost composure in front of Gu Qiqi?

She had promised the Feng family elders that she would never form emotional ties with Gu Qiqi, yet today she had lost control.

She hadn’t just lied to Xiao Bai—she had lied to herself.

She had even gone out of her way to pick Gu Qiqi up after school.

Feng Jiying said coldly, “Be quiet.”

She didn’t need fake concern or dramatic gestures.

Gu Qiqi was annoyed.
“So now you’re telling me to shut up? What, just because you’re the big bad CEO, I have to listen to every word you say?”

The infirmary was located between the Alpha and Omega campuses, separated not only by tall walls but also by thick forest.

To leave the school, they had to walk through one of its most hidden groves.

Suddenly, a thought struck Gu Qiqi.
“Wait… don’t tell me you came looking for me because you were worried I might be in danger.”

The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

The male lead of the game system had now shown up, and the system had clearly stated that Feng Jiying, Wen Rui, and Liu Huaqing were all meant to be his Omegas.

Trying to steal the male lead’s partners? That was a guaranteed death sentence.

Feng Jiying opened her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, Gu Qiqi’s expression changed.

She suddenly stepped forward and pulled Feng Jiying into her arms, placing a hand over her mouth.

Then she dropped to the ground with her, hiding both of them behind a nearby stone.

“Shh,” Gu Qiqi whispered, eyes alert.
“Someone’s coming.”

Both of them turned to look toward the sound ahead.

Gu Qiqi recognized two somewhat familiar faces.

One was the disgusting school principal. The other was the new student from earlier that day, Zhao Zhongtian.

The principal’s face twisted with rage as he gripped Zhao Zhongtian’s jaw tightly and snarled,
“Damn it, I didn’t expect to suffer such a huge loss. Who the hell is this Gu Qiqi? Not only does she have a red-stamped federal protection order, but even that Omega from the Feng family stepped in. I’m absolutely furious.”

The greasy-faced principal had visible injuries. As he spoke, he tore at Zhao Zhongtian’s clothes with frustration and malice.

“Hahaha, that’s right. Look at me with that glare. I love it when Alphas act tough. That arrogant pride of yours really excites me.”

He slapped Zhao Zhongtian across the face.
“You’re defiant, huh? But what can you do? You’re still lying here under me.”

As a 3S+ level Alpha with exceptional mental strength, Gu Qiqi could clearly hear everything the principal was saying, even from a distance.

Even so, she was shocked.

Zhao Zhongtian’s face swelled quickly. A large bruise formed on his pale cheek.

“Principal… when will my brother’s residency be approved?” he asked weakly.

Smack.

The principal struck the other side of his face without hesitation.

“And who do you think you are, daring to bargain with me? Get on your knees. Open your mouth.”

“These past few days have driven me mad. You’d better behave today and cooperate. Otherwise… your little brother looks pretty good too. For someone that young, he already has quite a personality.”

Fear flickered across Zhao Zhongtian’s face, overtaking his humiliation.

“Please, Principal, I’m begging you. My brother is just a kid. He just went through his gender differentiation. I’ll do whatever you want, just please don’t touch him. Don’t hurt him…”

Another slap.

“Hurt him? I’m giving him favor. Now get down.”

Out of the principal’s view, Zhao Zhongtian’s fists clenched tightly. But after a long pause, he lowered his head and knelt.

“Alright,” he said quietly.

Then he knelt down in front of the principal and opened his mouth.

Gu Qiqi felt like her entire worldview had just been shattered.

She immediately reached out and covered Feng Jiying’s eyes.

“Don’t look. It’s filthy. You’ll regret it,” she whispered.

The light scent of Gu Qiqi’s pheromones drifted over to Feng Jiying, making her feel oddly calm, even in that disturbing moment.

[System: Host, this is a high-risk area for inappropriate events. Leave now.]

But Gu Qiqi couldn’t just walk away.

She clenched her jaw, then used her mental power to lift a stone from nearby. With precise aim, she launched it directly at the principal’s lower body.

Taking advantage of the fact that the principal and Zhao Zhongtian were distracted, Gu Qiqi quickly grabbed Feng Jiying and slipped away.

Even after getting into the car, Gu Qiqi still felt uneasy. Her heart was pounding.

Feng Jiying rubbed her wrist and suddenly spoke. Her voice was as cold and calm as always.
“You’re hurt.”

“It’s nothing. Just a scratch,” Gu Qiqi replied.

But she couldn’t hide the expression on her face. It was just too disgusting.

Why would an Alpha do something like that to another Alpha?

And… why was Feng Jiying staring at her mouth?

Xiao Bai had already raised the privacy divider in the car, making the space inside feel completely sealed off from the outside world.

Gu Qiqi frowned slightly, then made a decision. For the sake of money, she would sacrifice a little of her dignity.

With a soft pop, she leaned in and kissed Feng Jiying on the lips.

Feng Jiying froze.

“Why so shy now that your heat phase is over? That’s ten thousand credits,” Gu Qiqi said as she lifted her wrist and waved her terminal in front of Feng Jiying with a smug smile. “That’s the price we agreed on. I didn’t even raise it.”

Feng Jiying was speechless.

Gu Qiqi had just kissed her with the same mouth that had kissed someone else. And she had the nerve to charge her for it!
