Reborn as an Alpha and Still Wanting to Engage in Lesbian Relationships - Chapter 34.2
Mu Qian nodded, and Fang Hao quickly added: “As far as I know, the previous homeroom teacher for Class A is pregnant and plans to experience natural childbirth, so she won’t return from leave until the second semester of senior year. Since you’re already teaching next door, why not apply for a position here?”
“You could both teach and keep an eye on your child, kill two birds with one stone!”
Hearing this, Mu Qian genuinely lowered her head to consider the feasibility.
Class A currently had no homeroom teacher, with class affairs basically handled by substitute teachers and Wen Qing as class monitor.
After briefly covering the exam difficulty, learning progress, and key points, the meeting concluded.
Parents weren’t allowed to stay overnight at school, and students could only return home during holidays.
Being a mama’s girl who couldn’t bear to be separated from her mothers for even a moment, Jiang Man clung to them, whining and acting spoiled.
Looking at their now fully-grown Manman curled up in their arms, Liu Ying and Jiang Feng couldn’t help but sigh at how time flies.
The once adorable child whose two hands they could hold in one palm had now grown as tall as them.
But Chairman Jiang, who remained on combative terms with her daughter, still mercilessly pulled her wife away after just ten seconds of Jiang Man’s clinging and whining.
Seeing her daughter’s wide-eyed glare and bristling anger, Chairman Jiang held her wife proudly and snorted: “What are you glaring at? This is my wife! If you want to hug someone, go find your own wife to hug!”
Jiang Man gritted her teeth.
If she could turn into a puppy, she’d definitely bite this mean mother hard! Make her get rabies shots every day!
Watching the mother-daughter pair who had been competing for over a decade, Liu Ying could only shake her head helplessly.
Looking at Jiang Man, she beckoned her over. The little puppy who had been fuming just moments ago came trotting over and stood obediently in front of her mother.
Pinching her cheeks, which still held a trace of baby fat, Liu Ying asked gently, “How have you been feeling lately? Any fever or discomfort?”
Jiang Man shook her head.
It was strange. Perhaps it was because she had been reborn, or maybe Wen Qing’s past self-harm had frightened her, but while her peers were awakening their spiritual bodies one after another, nothing happened to Jiang Man. Even after they had all completed their differentiation, Jiang Man’s spiritual body remained dormant.
Although there were rare cases of differentiation preceding the awakening of a spiritual body, such instances were few and far between so rare that even the research institute affiliated with Wen Qing’s family had very little documented data on the matter.
“It’s okay, Mom, don’t worry,” Jiang Man said, obediently rubbing her cheek against her mother’s palm to comfort her. “Maybe I’m just a late bloomer! Once I awaken, I’ll become the universe’s number one letter-person!”
Jiang Man had always referred to differentiated genders as “letter-people” since she was little, and Liu Ying and the others had grown accustomed to it.
“Oi!”
Fang Jin popped up out of nowhere, jumping over to sling an arm around Jiang Man’s neck and playfully roughhouse with her. “Man-zai, I heard you want to be the universe’s number one letter-person? Then why not get some of my luck? As a top-tier S+ alpha, I guarantee you’ll differentiate into an S+ grade!”
Jiang Man pretended to be annoyed, and the two began to play-fight, lightening the worry and gloom in Liu Ying’s heart.
Parents were required to leave the school by 9 p.m. at the latest, but thanks to Jiang Man’s coaxing, Liu Ying and Jiang Feng ended up being the last parents to leave.
After walking her mothers to the school gate, Jiang Man suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
Time had been kind to these beauties, but her mothers were no longer the youthful figures she had seen when she first opened her eyes in this life.
While sparring with Jiang Feng, Jiang Man had noticed that her usually tough alpha mother now had fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she herself was almost taller than her mother now.
Yet, because of her own condition, her mothers still worried about her.
This realization left her feeling heavy-hearted and sour.
Fang Jin and the others had grown up with her, and with just one look, they could tell what she was thinking.
So, noticing Jiang Man’s sadness, Fang Jin deliberately rushed over to play-fight with her, hoping to reassure Ms. Liu Ying.
But this reassurance was only temporary, it wouldn’t last until Jiang Man fully differentiated.
“Sigh!”
Fang Jin let out a heavy sigh alongside Jiang Man.
After the parent-teacher meeting finally ended, the school generously canceled evening self-study and, to help them relax, announced a sports meet for the following week.
The most boastful one, of course, dashed forward and signed up for every single event!
Mu Qian, who was in charge of collecting registrations, took several deep breaths as she looked at Fang Jin’s form with every event checked off. She silently repeated to herself, “Don’t argue with a foolish dog,” three times before pulling out a new registration form from her folder.
Fang Jin wasn’t having it. She sprawled over the desk, blocking Mu Qian from filling it out. “Why won’t you let me sign up for everything? I’m an S+ top alpha! These little events are a piece of cake for me!”
Enough was enough!
Mu Qian didn’t hold back, smacking Fang Jin on the forehead with her pen. “Hah, sign up for everything? Several events are scheduled at the same time. Did you even bother to check?”
Good-tempered Teacher Bo didn’t get angry often, but when he did, the tawny golden retriever would flee in panic all over the classroom.
Although Mu Qian was only an S-class alpha and couldn’t match Fang Jin in physical prowess, Mu Qian had brains.
The tawny golden retriever, who usually held her tail high with pride, was now rendered meek and obedient under the clever tactics of Teacher Bo.
Jiang Man watched the scene, leaning against Wen Qing’s chest as she laughed uncontrollably. Once her laughter subsided, she picked up the registration form and began pondering.
Greedy little Man coveted the shiny gold medals to fill her trophy cabinet, she wanted to sign up for this event and that one too.
After agonizing for a long time, the indecisive Jiang Man decided to seek help from someone else.
She pushed the registration form onto Wen Qing’s desk and poked her: “Little sister, help me choose.”
Wen Qing pulled her thoughts away from her book, glanced at the form, and began analyzing the potential competitors while offering suggestions.
A moment later, Jiang Man took the form, now marked with her choices for sprint and high jump, and placed it on Mu Qian’s desk.
Resting her chin on her knees as she watched the chaotic scene unfold before her, Jiang Man couldn’t help but sigh: “This is probably our last high school sports meet, right? Next year in senior year, we’ll be ‘cut off from the world.'”
Wen Qing hummed in agreement, gently squeezing her fingers to comfort her. “Don’t worry, the research institute has your samples, and I’ve been monitoring your hormone levels.”
“So I won’t become a ‘disabled’ letter-person with gland defects?”
Wen Qing pinched her cheek softly and assured her in a gentle voice, “You won’t.”
Wen Qing was a research prodigy, and with her reassurance, the previously despondent Jiang Man perked up instantly, her gloom vanishing as she regained her energetic self.
In the days leading up to the sports meet, except for the senior year students, everyone from sophomores to freshmen, from Class A to Class F, was buzzing with restless anticipation.
Amid the eager expectations of countless students, in late October when the weather turned slightly cool and the autumn heat began to wane, the long-awaited sports meet finally commenced!
Fang Jin, who had been itching to showcase her skills for days, could hardly contain herself the moment she stepped onto the lush green field her instincts instantly awakened.
Feeling deeply embarrassed, the other three had no choice but to tightly restrain the awakened Fang Jin.
As soon as the opening ceremony ended, the exhausted trio released their grip, and Fang Jin bounded off gleefully toward her familiar omega friends, radiating her top-alpha brandy pheromones among the omega crowd.
Jiang Man didn’t quite understand, but she knew how to draw comparisons!
If Fang Jin were a peacock, her pheromones would be the proud, beautiful feathers of that bird.
Watching Fang Jin preen among the omega students, Jiang Man couldn’t help but click her tongue and shake her head.
Although the tawny golden retriever lacked brains, it had to be admitted that among the three already-differentiated alphas in their group, Fang Jin was the only one who never lacked romantic attention.
From elementary school through sophomore year, Fang Jin’s omega friends had never been in short supply.
Jiang Man withdrew her gaze, hugged her knees, and rested her chin on them as she closed her eyes for a short nap.
For Jiang Man, who had only signed up for two events, the three-day sports meet was quite leisurely.
Basking in the sun, Jiang Man drifted into a hazy sleep. When she woke up, she found a girl she didn’t recognize holding an umbrella to shade her from the sun.
The girl had a lively personality and blinked boldly at Jiang Man: “Hey Manman, remember me?”
Jiang Man stared blankly at her for a moment before shaking his head with an air of maturity. “Have we met before?”
The girl seemed somewhat disappointed, as if she had expected this response, but she didn’t lose heart.
Clenching her fists to psych herself up, she looked up with an even brighter smile. “Then let me properly introduce myself today. My name is Li Xuxue, a differentiated omega currently studying in Class D. But I’ll work hard to get into Class A!”
The girl’s vibrant energy felt inexplicably familiar to Jiang Man.
After a long pause, Jiang Man gazed at Li Xuxue’s brightly smiling face and suddenly realized she had been neglecting her for too long. She hummed thoughtfully, tilting her head before saying, “Well then may all your wishes come true?”
“Thank you!”
Li Xuxue accepted Jiang Man’s blessing without any hesitation.
The young girl tried hard to appear calm and composed while sitting beside her crush, casually bringing up one topic after another as if by accident.
“Are you feeling hot?”
Noticing Li Xuxue’s face growing increasingly flushed, Jiang Man tilted her head in confusion.
She glanced up at the sunshade above them and gently pushed it slightly toward the girl.
Jiang Man stood up, brushing grass blades from her clothes under Li Xuxue’s bewildered gaze. “Wait here for a moment, okay?”
Without waiting for Li Xuxue’s response, she dashed off into the distance.
The sports field was bustling with people, filled with enthusiastic shouts, yet Li Xuxue could instantly spot her crush’s figure among the crowd.
Though unsure what Jiang Man was doing, since she had asked her to wait, Li Xuxue obediently stayed put, holding the umbrella and sitting quietly where she was.
Soon, she saw Jiang Man rushing back toward her, carrying a plastic bag.
The autumn heat had weakened but not completely vanished. Worried that Li Xuxue might be growing impatient, Jiang Man had run both ways, her forehead dotted with fine beads of sweat.
Kneeling in front of Li Xuxue, Jiang Man began pulling items out of the bag one by one. “The store owner recommended this, it’s supposedly a favorite among omegas. This is a cooling spray, a heat-dissipating patch, a mini fan. But honestly, I feel a bit chilly just sitting here, so I brought two unused small blankets from my dorm. You can sit on one and cover yourself with the other.”
One by one, the items were laid out, surrounding Li Xuxue in a circle.
