Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 57

Gu Qiqi had completely marked Feng Jiying.

After an intense battle, Gu Qiqi lay limp on the large bed.

How should she put it?

It was like she had been completely drained.

Feng Jiying’s sudden change in attitude left Gu Qiqi utterly baffled.

[System: Host, as expected of a 3S+ level alpha, your recovery speed is astonishing.]

Gu Qiqi didn’t want to recover so quickly, but Feng Jiying had brought her a large bowl of restorative medicine.

From the treatment room in the Feng family villa, Gu Qiqi returned to the room she had originally occupied in Feng Jiying’s residence.

A faint scent of coffee drifted into her nose.

The room carried the warmth of sunlight and a lived-in feeling, as if someone had been staying there all along.

Yet every corner was spotless, showing no signs of being used by a stranger.

Gu Qiqi couldn’t forget the look in Feng Jiying’s eyes when he had kissed her last.

Like a deep, unfathomable spring, filled with countless emotions she couldn’t decipher as if trying to pull her in.

[System: Friendly reminder, Host. By fully marking one of the main omega characters, Feng Jiyin, you have essentially challenged the system’s storyline. The game system may impose penalties as a result. Please be prepared.]

Come what may.

Gu Qiqi sprawled across the bed, ready to sleep.

She didn’t care whether Zhao Zhongtian was the protagonist or not once she had rested, she was going to settle the score with him.

Just then, faint meowing sounds came from the door, along with the tiny scratching of little claws against the frame.

Hearing the familiar meow, Gu Qiqi immediately rolled off the bed and cracked the door open slightly.

Xiao Qi, with his round little body, lifted his furry head and tried to squeeze through the gap.

As he pushed, he meowed at Gu Qiqi, as if urging her to open the door wider.

Xiao Qi had already grown tiny milk teeth, and when he opened his mouth, it looked like an adorable little dragon’s roar.

Gu Qiqi watched as Xiao Qi wobbled his head, wagged his butt, and confidently strutted in before jumping onto her bed, finding the very center, and plopping down with a dramatic sprawl.

He moved with practiced ease, as if he had done this many times before.

Gu Qiqi walked to the bed and rubbed Xiao Qi’s belly with one hand. His four little paws were soft as he playfully batted at her fingers, nibbling on them with his tiny teeth.

Her expression softened. “You’re so used to climbing onto beds. Feng Jiying must spoil you rotten. Kitties aren’t supposed to sleep on beds, you know?”

Feng Jiying stood at the doorway in silk pajamas. “He doesn’t understand human words. He’s not obedient at all every night, he demands to be cuddled and burrows into people’s arms. I wonder who he takes after.”

Gu Qiqi turned her head to look at Feng Jiying leaning against the doorframe. His body was covered in love bites, and without his usual metal-framed glasses, the sharpness in his almond-shaped eyes had noticeably softened.

Feng Jiying walked over slowly. “The Grand Elder applied a special drug to Xiao Qi’s fur. Every night when he snuggles close to me, I inhale a small amount of it. While the drug doesn’t significantly affect my body, it causes my heat cycle to arrive prematurely and intensifies the symptoms tenfold. Yet, I can’t naturally detect it.”

Feng Jiying had concealed one thing, her allergy to cat fur had led her to mistake these strange sensations as allergic reactions.

At first, she could manage with antihistamines, but over time, her body developed a tolerance, and the medication no longer controlled her symptoms. She assumed her mental haziness and hallucinations were just side effects of her worsening allergies.

Gu Qiqi’s hand, which had been stroking Xiao Qi’s belly, paused.

What did Feng Jiying mean by this? Was she explaining herself?

Gu Qiqi: “The Grand Elder…”

“My parents passed away when I was very young, leaving me as their only child. According to interstellar federal law, blood relatives can directly inherit assets. As the primary heir, I was entitled to the Feng family’s legacy. But no one expected that after my secondary gender manifested, I would present as an omega. Omegas have no inheritance rights in our family, so the Feng elders began scheming. The Grand Elder is one of the longest-serving members of the Feng clan. Ever since I presented as an omega, he has coveted the position of family head.” Feng Jiying spoke calmly, her tone detached, yet she explained in detail.

Gu Qiqi’s gaze flickered, but the memory of that near-fatal electric shock still burned in her mind. “Why are you telling me this? What does the internal structure of the Feng family have to do with me?”

Feng Jiying: “So at the time, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to save you. I was being controlled, my thoughts in chaos.”

Gu Qiqi let out a bitter, self-mocking laugh. “The illustrious Head Feng is now explaining why she couldn’t save me? How flattering. But what’s done is done. Wounds may heal, but the pain can’t be undone.”

Feng Jiying was proud.

This pride had been forced upon her since childhood, a shield to protect her when she stood alone. After presenting as an omega, she had to be proud. It was the only way to keep alphas from looking down on her.

So even her love was proud.

Her nature would never allow her to love someone in meek submission.

But she had already experienced the agony of losing Gu Qiqi once.

Feng Jiying: “What do I need to do for you to forgive me?”

Her reaction was truly strange.

From Gu Qiqi’s perspective, Feng Jiying’s attitude was like a rollercoaster yesterday, icy and distant; today, blazing like the sun. Without thinking, she tossed out a flippant reply: “Fine. I want flowers to bloom with every step I take. I want the night to shine as bright as day. If you can make that happen, I’ll forgive you.”

Feng Jiying’s eyes locked onto Gu Qiqi’s face. After a long silence, she answered firmly with a single word: “Okay.”

A week later, Feng Jiying’s sensitive period ended, and Gu Qiqi, now fully recovered, returned to school.

The moment she stepped into Military Academy 330, the campus loudspeakers began looping an announcement:

[The former principal of Military Academy 330 has resigned due to misconduct. All students are expected to adhere to academy regulations during this transitional period and await the arrival of the new principal. As a fully militarized institution, even in the absence of direct leadership, students must remain disciplined and fulfill their duties.]

The turn of events was so abrupt that Gu Qiqiq rubbed her temples, feeling as though she had forgotten something.

Gu Qiqi stepped onto the campus, only to be blocked by Zhao Zhongtian and his deranged brother Zhao Ruri.

Zhao Zhongtian’s face was beyond gloomy.

His eyes burned with hatred, as if he wanted to slice Gu Qiqi into a thousand pieces. “You’re so damn lucky, clinging to powerful connections. Even after all that, we still couldn’t finish you off.”

Gu Qiqi couldn’t comprehend Zhao Zhongtian’s inexplicable hatred toward her.

As the protagonist of this game system, Zhao Zhongtian shouldn’t be harboring such intense loathing for a mere side character like her. It made no sense.

[System: Host, it’s not that unreasonable. After all, everyone wants to be the protagonist. Don’t you also want to rise from cannon fodder to main character status? To become the protagonist, you must steal the original lead’s fortune and Zhao Zhongtian is that original lead. So his hatred toward you for stealing his destiny is perfectly understandable.]

Though the system said this, Gu Qiqi searched her conscience and realized she’d never actually wronged Zhao Zhongtian. His hostility toward her was utterly baffling.

Having survived through sheer grit in this brutal campus environment, Gu Qiqi was no pushover.

“After all your scheming and manipulation, you still ended up expelled. Your tendons were severed, even your gland was destroyed. Seems the powerful connections you relied on had some issues.”

Gu Qiqi knew someone had taken revenge on Zhao Zhongtian on her behalf.

With a contemptuous look, she retorted, “You know exactly why your brother became mentally disabled, don’t you? Everyone wants success, wants to rise above others but the methods matter. ‘If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it.’ You know what you did. Your brother probably saw something he shouldn’t have. The psychological shock was too much for him. Your hatred toward me is just you projecting your own guilt and frustration.”

Clearly tortured already, Zhao Zhongtian had no fight left in him.

Gu Qiqi saw no need to take his life now. But words could cut deep too. No matter how much Zhao Zhongtian hated her, he couldn’t touch her in her current state.

The moment Zhao Zhongtian stepped beyond the school gates, Gu Qiqi’s formidable psychic energy materialized countless tendrils lashing out with the intensity of high-voltage electricity, paralyzing his entire body.

Turning back with a smile, Gu Qiqi added, “Oh right, since you’ve been expelled from 330 Military Academy, we’re no longer classmates. In civilian society, psychic duels between adult post-differentiation Alphas aren’t illegal, you know. Though if you want to renounce your Alpha status, you’ll need to visit federal authorities for gland removal and disability certification.”

Gu Qiqi’s mood improved instantly. She really could be petty sometimes.

The afternoon passed uneventfully.

Then that evening, Xiao Bai suddenly pulled up in Feng Jiying’s luxury car outside Gu Qiqi’s dorm.

“Miss Gu,” Xiao Bai called, “please get in. The CEO requests your presence.”

Gu Qiqi never expected Feng Jiying to invest this much attention in her. She leaned back in the seat, eyes closed, resting.

After an indeterminate time, Xiao Bai announced: “Miss Gu, we’ve arrived.”

Gu Qiqi stepped out of the car with skepticism. Even if Feng Jiying had heaven-defying abilities, it was impossible.

With every step, flowers bloomed beneath her feet.

She walked on the latest high-tech transparent electronic glass panels, where dazzling flowers instantly blossomed with each step she took.

Exclusive directional arrows guided her path.

Apart from the electronic flowers beneath her feet, everything around was pitch black, so dark she couldn’t see her own hand.

One step, two steps, ten steps, a hundred steps, she lost count of how many she’d taken.

Gu Qiqi was losing patience.

Suddenly, fireworks began bursting before her eyes.

The fireworks were enormous and brilliant.

They truly seemed capable of turning night into day.

Then Feng Jiying appeared abruptly before her.

Holding Xiao Qi in his arms.

Man and cat simply gazed at her in silence.

How utterly boring.

Yet why did her eyes suddenly sting?

A powerful alpha would never cry, right?
