The Alpha’s Breakup Scheme - Chapter 2
Lin Yin hurriedly handed a tissue to the choking Jiang Shixue and poured her a glass of lemon water.
Jiang Shixue took the tissue and regained her elegant posture, though her eyes were slightly red from the choking and her brows were knit in a faint scowl. She was clearly a bit overwhelmed as she whispered, “Please, you were using my optical computer and my account.”
Although Jiang Shixue often used her own account to vent or complain, “forcibly kissing the principal if the likes exceed a hundred thousand” was simply going too far…
Lin Yin scratched her head and gave an awkward smile. “Listen to my quibble—no, I mean, listen to my explanation.”
“You know I want to be an internet celebrity. But my account was banned, so I had no choice but to use yours to post.”
“Really, I didn’t prank you on purpose.” As Lin Yin spoke, she wore a solemn expression and raised four fingers to take an oath.
“Your account was banned?” Jiang Shixue asked.
Lin Yin lowered her head in embarrassment. “I followed a trend earlier and posted, ‘If the likes exceed a hundred thousand, I’ll pull down the principal’s pants.’ Then I was silenced for inappropriate speech.”
Jiang Shixue: “…”
Lin Yin looked troubled. “Look, the heat has already reached several hundred thousand, and the likes passed a hundred thousand long ago. What should we do?”
Jiang Shixue smiled through gritted teeth. “What should we do? Of course, you must ‘do what you said.’ One person must take responsibility for their own actions.”
Lin Yin giggled. “Jiang Shixue, I have a feeling you will definitely help me. Isn’t it just forcibly kissing the principal? With your looks, it’s a piece of cake!”
Jiang Shixue stared at Lin Yin with an unfriendly gaze. “Don’t set up such strange flags for me!”
Lin Yin: “Wooo, fine. Then I can only bravely go and die a social death. Jiang Shixue, make sure to collect my corpse when the time comes.”
Jiang Shixue: “Don’t worry, go ahead. I’ll use the highest specifications of ceremony to collect your corpse.”
Lin Yin: “…”
Lin Yin dejectedly searched her optical computer for a long time, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She patted Jiang Shixue on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t involve you.”
“I’ve already thought of a solution.”
Jiang Shixue: “?”
Lin Yin: “Look, they say for this kind of post, you can provide a photo as proof, but it doesn’t have to be a real kiss. You can use camera angles. Plus, the photo will be blurry, so no one can see if there was actual contact. It’s all about the atmosphere and clickbait titles.”
Lin Yin laughed. “My Photoshop skills are top-tier. I’ll crank up the atmosphere of the photo to the max. Who could really tell if we kissed or not? In any case, it’s not like the principal himself will come out to debunk the rumor!”
“This is exactly why you can’t be too honest in self-media. No, I mean, those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff!”
Jiang Shixue: “Wonderful. When a person is desperate, they really can come up with any solution.”
Lin Yin scrolled through the restaurant’s menu, passing row after row of fruit wines, planning to pick a few. Have a bit of alcohol, then go for it in one go!
Jiang Shixue also accompanied her roommate in drinking a little to bolster her courage.
Although this matter was risky, Jiang Shixue wasn’t actually very worried.
The laws of the Empire strictly forbade physical punishment, and Imperial University followed a policy of strict admission but lenient graduation. Even if Lin Yin truly did something so outrageous, based on precedent, she would likely only be charged with “offending public morals,” required to attend a few mandatory civil education courses, and pay a hefty fine.
Furthermore, it was just a staged camera angle. The consequences should be within a bearable range.
The alcohol content of the fruit wine was not high, and it tasted sweet, but after two glasses, Lin Yin was already a bit tipsy. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were misty.
“Don’t worry, sister, I can do it. I’ll definitely keep my word.”
Lin Yin suddenly seemed to remember something and started rummaging through her bag. As she rummaged, she said:
“I have to be fully prepared.”
Jiang Shixue asked curiously, “What else do you need to prepare?”
Lin Yin pulled out a new scent-blocking patch from her bag. The patch she used was star-shaped and looked quite cute.
Lin Yin held up the blocking patch and squinted her eyes. “This!”
“I have to stick the blocking patch on properly to prevent my pheromones from leaking—if the principal is driven into heat by my pheromones, that would be terrible.”
“I only want to be famous; I don’t want to fall in love.”
Jiang Shixue was amused and couldn’t help but reach out to tap Lin Yin’s head. “You are quite drunk.”
“Your pheromones aren’t likely to be so coincidental as to reach an extremely high match level.”
“Moreover, both you and the principal are Omegas. Even if your pheromones were that effective, would she risk being criticized for an O-O relationship just to be with you?”
Lin Yin huffed. “You don’t understand. My constitution is special.”
“Do you know what ‘Houshi Total Uke’ means? Everything in the universe can top me.”
“Forget it, can you even smell anything as a Beta?”
As Lin Yin spoke, she tore off the blocking patch.
Without the barrier of the patch, the Omega’s gland rapidly dispersed a slight pheromone.
True to the stereotype of Omega pheromones, Lin Yin’s scent was as cloyingly sweet as freshly baked milky strawberry syrup.
Suddenly, Lin Yin’s movements froze. She sniffed. The air was suddenly permeated with a hint of… the pungent spice belonging to an Alpha’s pheromones.
The bitter-spicy smell of strong liquor mixed with an exceptionally dense floral fragrance surged out overwhelmingly.
By sniffing carefully, one could distinguish it as tequila with a hint of smokiness.
Passionate, bright, and sincere.
And it carried a sense of reckless impulsiveness.
Lin Yin looked at Jiang Shixue. The other girl had been triggered by her own pheromones and was starting to have a pheromone riot; her fair cheeks were stained with an unnatural flush.
Lin Yin was self-satisfied. “See, even you can’t resist the temptation of my pheromones, right?”
The next second, Lin Yin realized:
“Wait, what?”
“Sister, aren’t you a Beta???!!!”
Instantly, Lin Yin was scared half-sober.
“I specifically chose a Beta with no pheromones to be my roommate!!!”
Lin Yin reached out to feel Jiang Shixue’s forehead; it was very hot. “You, you, you… did you undergo a secondary differentiation???”
Jiang Shixue was somewhat dazed and shook her head with difficulty. “No.”
Right now, it felt so unfamiliar.
Having pretended to be a Beta for so long, she had almost forgotten what an Alpha’s rut felt like.
Jiang Shixue’s triggered rut came on fiercely, making her feel dizzy.
Her pheromone level was very high, and her scent was exceptionally overbearing. When it blended and collided with Lin Yin’s pheromones, it surprisingly didn’t produce a pheromone level suppression.
However, even if she were a regular Alpha, it clearly wasn’t her rut period right now. How could she be so easily influenced by her roommate’s pheromones?
Jiang Shixue thought dizzily: Is this the legendary “Houshi Total Uke” special constitution??
Jiang Shixue was affected by the pheromones and her whole body began to burn. She said to Lin Yin in a somewhat husky voice, “Quick, the suppressant…”
Lin Yin flusteredly found the portable suppressant and quickly handed it to Jiang Shixue.
“Here.”
Jiang Shixue took it and injected herself with a shot.
However, it was useless.
Omega suppressants were not the right medicine for Alphas; they weren’t very effective to begin with.
Furthermore, Jiang Shixue had once been an SSS-level Alpha.
Lin Yin was stunned. “Is it working?”
Jiang Shixue said with difficulty, “No use.”
Lin Yin grew anxious and pulled out another tube, handing it over and placing it in Jiang Shixue’s hand.
“I have more here!”
Jiang Shixue’s whole body was scorching, and the temperature of her palm was also quite hot. Touching Jiang Shixue’s burning, creamy-white palm, Lin Yin couldn’t help but shiver.
Lin Yin looked at Jiang Shixue and, quite inappropriately, thought: Even though they lived together day and night, this exquisitely beautiful face and overly superior figure could still make one’s heart race.
As soon as that thought appeared, Lin Yin took a deep breath and warned herself:
No, no, no, I can’t fall for her. The end for those who succumb to female-submissive roles is miserable!!!
Jiang Shixue took the suppressant and gave herself another shot.
It was still useless.
But at least she felt a little better.
Lin Yin said, “This is all I have. If it’s still useless, let’s go back to the dormitory to get more.”
“Fortunately, the dorm is very close, less than a thousand meters. We’ll be there soon.”
After two shots of the incorrect Omega suppressant, Jiang Shixue managed to maintain a shred of clarity through sheer willpower.
Her head throbbed painfully, her temples pulsing. Jiang Shixue forced herself to stay alert and let out a helpless, soft sigh. “Sorry, I won’t be able to take the photo for you.”
Lin Yin froze for a moment before realizing Jiang Shixue was talking about the plan to “deal with the forum, kiss the principal, and then take a photo for editing.”
“Oh, that’s a small matter. Your health is more important. Stop thinking about it.”
Supporting Jiang Shixue as they went out, Lin Yin didn’t forget to carefully put a mask on Jiang Shixue.
Although she didn’t know why Jiang Shixue wanted to pretend to be a Beta, Jiang Shixue must have her reasons. All she could do was try her best not to let anyone see Jiang Shixue in this state.
Imperial University A (Holiday Planet New Campus), School Gate.
Wen Fei had just finished her duties as principal and was performing identity authentication at the iris recognition scanner at the gate.
Beep, beep.
“Authentication successful.”
She was going to visit the supervisor lady and then handle some work for the military department today.
Today, the newly appointed Wen Fei had not only led the leadership in specialized training for physical techniques, mecha, and spiritual power.
She had also conducted a surprise attendance check.
As luck would have it, she hit the Oil Painting Department.
As one of the top-tier universities in the galaxy, the students of Imperial University A had high enthusiasm for learning. Even for “easy” elective courses with no academic pressure, very few people skipped class or slacked off.
But—
There are always brave souls dedicated to enjoying the world first. Wen Fei’s surprise check actually caught several warriors who had skipped class.
Obviously, these warriors included Jiang Shixue and Lin Yin.
At that time, the young lecturer on the side carefully requested, “Principal, perhaps they just had something to do and took leave, but didn’t have time to report it in the system…”
Leaning against the podium, Wen Fei was frowning as she flipped through the list. Hearing this, she tilted her eyes slightly.
The Omega, famous for being strict and fierce, had a cold gaze. In her eyes that appeared bright and beautiful, there seemed to be hidden sharp blades.
Wen Fei spoke with a half-smile, “Something to do? What could they possibly have to do? You tell me.”
The lecturer couldn’t answer and stammered, “This…”
Wen Fei’s expression turned stern. She stared at the lecturer and slowly said in a sharp tone, “I didn’t know that to be a scholar nowadays, one actually needs to master the skill of calling black white.”
Being stared at by Wen Fei’s sharp gaze, the young lecturer shuddered, involuntarily shut his mouth, and lowered his head.
Wooo, so scary. Why does the new principal even scold the teachers!
She is clearly so beautiful just looking at her face, yet her aura is a full 2.8 meters high!!!
She is completely different from the previous kind and amiable old principal!
Wen Fei looked at the roll call sheet and then scanned the students in the classroom, her expression gloomy.
She said coldly, “It seems I need to pay a visit to the supervisor lady.”
…
Just as Wen Fei finished her authentication and was preparing to leave.
She saw two students approaching from ahead who were also performing iris recognition.
Wen Fei had excellent vision and glanced at the names—
Jiang Shixue, Lin Yin.
They were the children who skipped class.
Wen Fei walked toward them.
Early spring was a time of lingering rain on the Holiday Planet. The afternoon drizzle had stopped not long ago, but now it was pitter-pattering down again.
The masked Jiang Shixue felt dizzy and heavy-headed as she forced herself to walk forward.
Beside her, Lin Yin held an umbrella and supported her worriedly.
At this moment, Jiang Shixue suddenly smelled a faint pheromone scent.
It was the slight fragrance of Cecilia flowers.
A small gap had opened in the blocking patch on the back of Wen Fei’s neck, and she carried a faint scent of pheromones. However, the dispersed pheromones were very weak, and the busy new principal hadn’t noticed.
Wen Fei walked toward the two, and the distance shortened to a normal social distance.
The scent Jiang Shixue smelled became clearer.
It was the fragrance of Cecilia flowers, cold and aloof, mixed with a base note of Clear Water Jade—elegant, calm, and making one instinctively want to lean on it.
In a daze, Jiang Shixue actually felt it was exactly the same as the pheromones of that elder sister from the past.
Holiday Planet was rained upon year-round, and the pitter-pattering drizzle unintentionally wet her eyelashes.
Jiang Shixue’s vision was a bit watery, and she was in a trance. The rut was very difficult, her head was dizzy, and she couldn’t distinguish between now and then, nor between University A and that dilapidated planet.
In her daze, she seemed to have returned to that tiny, cold room.
She was lying on the ground, the wound on her back aching faintly.
However, she didn’t feel much pain; she was just very cold.
So cold, so cold.
She curled her body, shivering on the frozen floor, almost freezing to death.
Just when she thought she was going to freeze to death, suddenly, someone took off their trench coat and covered her with it.
At the same time, she smelled a scent of pheromones.
A crisp fragrance, mixed with a shifting base note.
Later she learned that these were Cecilia flowers, a specialty of the barren star.
“Sister?”
Jiang Shixue approached muddledly.
Seeing Jiang Shixue’s state, her roommate Lin Yin was panic-stricken.
She grabbed Jiang Shixue. “What’s going on? Wake up, Jiang Shixue!”
However, the rutting Jiang Shixue’s cheeks were burning red, and her head was even more dizzy; she just couldn’t stop herself from walking toward Wen Fei.
Sister, I like her.
Pheromones, I want them.
The new principal, Wen Fei, stood in the misty rain. Her fingers, clad in black leather gloves, were long and powerful as she held the handle of a semi-transparent umbrella. Her brows were cold, beautiful, and unrestrained.
It was a dangerous scent.
Lin Yin was so scared that the hair on her body stood on end.
From Lin Yin’s perspective, the new principal’s lips were as red as blood. For no reason, she was terrified that Wen Fei might give a flying kick and Jiang Shixue would die on the spot, splattering blood everywhere.
Wen Fei’s aura was terrifying! She calculated in her heart: even if she couldn’t get famous, couldn’t make money, and was cursed to death in the comments section, she would absolutely not go and kiss Wen Fei!
But in the next moment, she saw Jiang Shixue approaching Wen Fei even more muddledly.
She murmured, “Sister…”
Yet Wen Fei did not act as brutally as Lin Yin had imagined. She stood in the rain, eyes lowered, just watching Jiang Shixue.
Jiang Shixue approached in a daze, her intense tequila pheromones clingily wrapping and entangling themselves around the sharp white uniform.
Wen Fei, however, did not show any signs of being offended or angry.
The tall Omega with the sharp aura simply pinched Jiang Shixue’s exquisite chin, forcing the girl to look up at her.
Then, she gently brushed away the golden fringe covering Jiang Shixue’s eyes.
The movement was unexpectedly gentle.
Jiang Shixue looked into her eyes.
The color of Wen Fei’s pupils was very dark, making her look tougher than others.
However, at this moment, Jiang Shixue’s reflection was clearly captured in those dark pupils.
Jiang Shixue couldn’t help but lean in closer.
Sister, I like her.
The bright red lips were opening and closing, looking wet and soft—what were they saying?
I want to kiss her.
Jiang Shixue couldn’t control herself and kissed her.
The school gate was a place for coming and going, so there was naturally a flow of people passing through. Since Jiang Shixue and the others were lingering at the gate, they naturally drew attention.
One was a beautiful department belle with many admirers, and the other was the newly appointed principal who was currently at the height of her fame. These two were quite eye-catching, so a small group of curious onlookers naturally gathered around the gate.
Thus, people gathered in the open air, stopped, and then watched in shock as—
Jiang Shixue, the department belle in a white dress, pinned the new principal against a sycamore tree and forcibly kissed her!!!
Wen Fei did not dodge.
She indulged this kiss.
Jiang Shixue’s kiss was a mere peck. She moved away after just a light touch.
However, in the next second, her waist was seized by Wen Fei.
Wen Fei held the back of Jiang Shixue’s head as the elegant base notes of Clear Water Jade rose like waves. Wen Fei kissed back fiercely, tracing and deepening this shallow kiss.
Lips pressed together, lingering and sucking.
Teeth bumped against teeth, and tongues entangled with ambiguous fluids.
The umbrella and mask had long been tossed aside. Rain pitter-pattered, falling on the sycamore leaves and also on the side of their faces, shoulders, and calves.
This kiss was not gentle. Jiang Shixue was kissed until her whole body went soft, and she instinctively gripped Wen Fei’s slightly damp sleeve.
She was kissed until she was deprived of oxygen, and physiological tears welled up in her eyes.
The tequila was vulnerable before the storm-like invasion of the Cecilia flowers; it was swallowed whole and dismantled into the body.
Her consciousness grew blurred. She only felt the crisp floral fragrance entwining her tequila pheromones, soothing her restless body, which felt very comfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, when her face was flushed and she could barely breathe, Wen Fei finally let her go.
The onlookers watching the excitement took sharp breaths one after another:
“Holy crap, the new principal looks cold, noble, and aloof, I didn’t expect her to play so wildly in private.”
“So… that’s kissable?”
“Mom, I’m in love! I want to apply to University A!”
“…”
Soothed by the Omega’s pheromones, Jiang Shixue’s body felt better, and her consciousness gradually returned.
Her lips were a bit swollen and painful from the rubbing. Wen Fei’s breath was scorching against her ear, and around her was the sound of the crowd’s clicking tongues and discussions.
Jiang Shixue suddenly realized what an absurd thing she had done!!
A feeling of shame and annoyance instantly surged up.
“You… let go of me first.”
She tried to break free.
But her waist was clamped by Wen Fei’s single hand, making her unable to move—
She simply couldn’t break free from Wen Fei’s embrace!
More and more people were gathering to watch.
Jiang Shixue’s face was completely red.
Wen Fei’s pheromones were still conquering territory.
“Don’t…”
Jiang Shixue was both anxious and ashamed.
A body in rut was exceptionally uncomfortable.
“Ugh!”
It was too much!
In a fit of anger, Jiang Shixue was almost shaking, and just like that, she was “naturally” kissed until she fainted.
After fainting, she slumped softly into Wen Fei’s arms.
