The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 39.3

A wave of frustration surged in Chi Jingyan’s chest.

Just last night, they had slept in the same bed, and beneath her school uniform, countless hickeys, all left by Jiang Mengyu still lingered on her skin.

If not for the scent-blocking patch, the overwhelming jasmine fragrance on her would be enough to make anyone dizzy.

And yet, Jiang Mengyu had the nerve to say their relationship wasn’t at the hand-holding stage?

Chi Jingyan felt a pang of hurt, but she swallowed her temper and coaxed softly, “My legs are weak. Just pretend you’re helping me up.”

As they spoke, a few students approached from the opposite direction. Jiang Mengyu glanced at them and noticed two familiar faces.

The first time she had seen Chi Jingyan, these two had been following behind her.

While Jiang Mengyu observed them, the two also noticed her and Chi Jingyan.

Their gazes drifted from Jiang Mengyu’s face to their clasped hands, and in the next second, their expressions turned to shock.

“Chi Chi-jie?!”

Chi Jingyan had many followers, coming and going in waves. She remembered these two’s names, but that was about it.

“Yeah.” In front of outsiders, Chi Jingyan reverted to her usual aloof and distant demeanor.

“You’re…?”

The two exchanged bewildered, disbelieving looks.

Didn’t Chi Jingyan hate Jiang Mengyu?!

Sure, she had later allowed Jiang Mengyu back at school, but rumors said the two barely spoke in class. They had assumed Chi Jingyan had reluctantly forgiven Jiang Mengyu but still disliked her.

But seeing them holding hands like this, how was this dislike?!

She was head over heels!

Even when Chi Jingyan had been with Chu Muyao, she had never been this affectionate.

Wait, did Chu Muyao know about this?

Her almost-girlfriend and her former pursuer…

Yikes, better not think about it!

Chi Jingyan didn’t bother explaining. With a slight nod, she pulled Jiang Mengyu away.

She had no interest in justifying herself to irrelevant people, and Jiang Mengyu wasn’t invested either. Only System 031 was thrilled.

[Host, I remember it was the one on the left who insulted you and told you to get lost.]

Now the host had finally turned the tables and slapped her in the face!

Jiang Mengyu: “…You really hold a grudge.”

She let Chi Jingyan drag her along until they neared the entrance of Class 9, where Jiang Mengyu finally freed her hand.

Chi Jingyan glanced back at her, eyes tinged with disappointment. “You…”

Did Jiang Mengyu really not want to have anything to do with her?

She had refused to hold her hand and didn’t want to sit together either.

Jiang Mengyu offered no explanation. “Let’s go.”

Chi Jingyan clenched her fists, watching as Jiang Mengyu walked past her and headed straight for the classroom door. She took a deep breath and followed.

Class 9 had already heard from Chen He’an that Jiang Mengyu was returning to school, so her appearance wasn’t a surprise. However, Chi Jingyan, who walked in right after, piqued everyone’s curiosity.

Xie Xun was the quickest to react. She rushed forward in a flash. “Sister Chi, you’re finally back!”

“Mm.” Chi Jingyan’s expression was cold.

Xie Xun stopped in front of her, about to say something, when she suddenly noticed something different about Chi Jingyan. She stared at her for a moment before it dawned on her.

She seemed to have caught a scent on Chi Jingyan that didn’t belong to her.

The scent wasn’t strong, it lingered faintly around Chi Jingyan, yet it was impossible to ignore. Xie Xun sniffed again, then couldn’t help but frown and take a step back.

Her head spun, as if the owner of that scent was warning her to stay away from Chi Jingyan.

Such an overpowering pheromone, the person who had marked Chi Jingyan must be of a high rank.

What on earth had happened to Chi Jingyan these past few days?!

Xie Xun stared at her in shock and confusion.

She was highly sensitive to pheromones, so she had noticed immediately. The others, however, seemed oblivious.

Chi Jingyan noticed Xie Xun’s gaze. Her eyes turned cold, but then, as if remembering something, she casually glanced at Jiang Mengyu.

Xie Xun followed her line of sight and suddenly widened her eyes.

Her… and her?!

That person was Jiang Mengyu?!

Xie Xun’s thoughts were in turmoil. She remembered Jiang Mengyu was only a B-rank Alpha?!

Moreover, Chi Jingyan was clearly wearing a scent-blocking patch, yet Jiang Mengyu’s scent was still leaking through. For it to have this effect…

Xie Xun didn’t dare imagine what had happened between them.

She glanced at Chi Jingyan, then stole a look at Jiang Mengyu. The two weren’t even speaking to each other, they seemed like complete strangers.

Who would’ve thought they actually…

Xie Xun swallowed hard. The feeling of being the only one who knew the truth was maddening, yet she didn’t dare show it.

Only after Chi Jingyan returned to her seat did Xie Xun seize the chance to send her a message.

[Xie Xun: Sister Chi, you and Jiang Mengyu?!]

Afraid of being overheard, she could only hint for Chi Jingyan to check her phone.

Chi Jingyan paused, then, after reading the message, didn’t bother hiding it.

[Yeah.]

Xie Xun silently screamed inside. So it was true!!

Her hands trembled as she typed: [So are you two dating now?]

What about Chu Muyao?

Fortunately, Xie Xun retained enough sense not to ask that last part out loud.

Chi Jingyan’s expression darkened at the question.

She turned and saw Jiang Mengyu talking to Chen He’an, which only made her look even more displeased.

Xie Xun shivered at the sight. She couldn’t help but think Chi Jingyan resembled those tragic Omegas in dramas silently enduring the pain of seeing their Alpha with someone else, too afraid to speak up.

Suppressing her jealousy, Chi Jingyan typed: [No.]

[“Still chasing.”]

Xie Xun instinctively asked, [“Huh? She’s chasing you?”]

Chi Jingyan: “…”

If it were really Jiang Mengyu chasing her, would she be reacting like this?

Xie Xun understood.

But she still found it hard to believe!

Chi Jingyan? Chasing Jiang Mengyu??

That sounds like something straight out of a fairy tale!

Chi Jingyan lowered her eyes slightly: [I have a task for you.]

Xie Xun perked up immediately: [You got it, sis! What is it?]

Chi Jingyan: [Go tell Chen He’an that you want to be her desk mate.]

Xie Xun: Huh?

She hesitated, stealing a glance at Chen He’an nearby, then asked aloud instead of typing, “What if she turns me down?”

Chi Jingyan shot her a sidelong glance and said impatiently, “Can’t you just beg her?”

Xie Xun: “……”

How does Chi Jingyan manage to say something so pathetic in such a domineering tone?

Meanwhile, Chen He’an noticed Xie Xun’s furtive glances and the hint of wariness and suspicion in Chi Jingyan’s eyes when she looked her way.

Xie Xun always obeyed Chi Jingyan’s orders her words were essentially Chi Jingyan’s words.

After a moment’s thought, Chen He’an kindly warned Jiang Mengyu, “You’d better watch your back.”

“Chi Jingyan still seems to have it out for you.”
