The Ultra-Alpha School Hunk Has Transmigrated into a Cannon Fodder Omega! - Chapter 9

On Sunday at four in the afternoon, Ji Cenzhou arrived early at the bar. Because Ji Cenzhou did not know how to apply makeup, a young woman came to assist him.

“What kind of look do you want?” The woman wore heavy black smoky eye makeup. Her foundation was so thick it looked like she was wearing a mask. She arched an eyebrow at him, appearing quite arrogant.

Ji Cenzhou glanced at her invincible mask makeup, the kind that even her own mother would not recognize, and said casually, “Just make me look like you.”

The woman raised her eyebrows and gave a rakish smile. “Little kid, you actually have pretty good taste.”

Ji Cenzhou sat down in the chair and yawned, planning to take a nap while she worked. Hearing her comment, he replied offhandedly, “I am not a little kid. I am an adult, thank you.”

“An adult? I really cannot tell.” She picked up the foundation and squeezed out a large glob to smear onto Ji Cenzhou’s face.

“Why are you in this line of work?” For some reason, she seemed quite interested in him and continued to pry.

Ji Cenzhou said nonchalantly, “This job brings in money fast, so here I am.”

The woman burst out laughing. “You are quite honest. Do you know how most people answer when asked that?”

“How?”

“My mother is sick, my family is poor, we truly have no money for medical treatment, so I was forced to work here.”

Ji Cenzhou smiled. “That sounds realistic.”

The woman’s hands moved extremely fast. Ji Cenzhou could already feel her using something to poke at his eyelids. She remarked, “Your skin texture is too good. Even with such low quality foundation, it does not cake at all. It settles so perfectly it looks like your own skin.”

To Ji Cenzhou, good skin was a useless advantage. It served no practical purpose, but he still returned the professional compliment. “Your skin is also quite good.”

The woman rolled her eyes at that, but since Ji Cenzhou’s eyes were closed, he did not see it. If her skin texture was considered good, then dogs could climb walls.

“Next time, please open your eyes before you compliment me. Do not just spout nonsense,” she grumbled.

“Then I will try another one. Your hair is very black,” Ji Cenzhou tried again.

The woman, who was wearing a wig, fell silent. “Thank you very much, but my real hair was dyed red a long time ago.”

After she finished his makeup, she looked at the person in the mirror and froze for a moment. The person in the mirror had bright, moving features. Even if he did not intend it, every movement exuded charm, yet it was mixed with a cold, sharp aura. He looked completely different from the well behaved student who had first walked in.

Ji Cenzhou opened his eyes. Seeing that the person in the mirror looked like a total stranger, he was very satisfied. He praised her sincerely, “Your skills are truly excellent.”

Not wanting to lie against her conscience, she replied, “No, it is because your skin is good and you are handsome.”

Ji Cenzhou turned his head and looked at her with a smile. “Do you want to go another round of professional flattery?”

“Please, just shut up,” she muttered.

After finishing his makeup, Ji Cenzhou went into the inner room to change into a cheongsam that barely reached the tops of his thighs. The dress was backless, with curved cutouts on both sides of the waist covered by black mesh. Through the mesh, one could faintly glimpse his slender waist. Underneath the cheongsam, he wore safety shorts, the kind that would prevent any exposure no matter how he danced.

The floor manager found Ji Cenzhou and told him, “Your working hours are from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM. After you finish your dance, just go down and chat with the guests for half an hour.”

“Chat for half an hour? Can I skip that?” Ji Cenzhou asked with a frown.

“No, that is the rule.”

“What if I take less pay?” Ji Cenzhou pressed.

“We do not lack that bit of money. Rules are rules; we cannot make an exception for you,” the manager insisted. Seeing that Ji Cenzhou was still frowning, he smiled and said, “I know what you are worried about. Rest assured, it is just chatting. Even though this is a bar, we run a legitimate business. Besides, you are an unmarked Omega. If anything happens to you, our entire bar will be shut down.”

Hearing the manager’s reassurance, Ji Cenzhou reluctantly agreed.

“It is 8:00 PM now. Get ready backstage. As soon as the music starts, you go on stage.”

In a dark alley, moonlight like a thin veil fell over two people standing at the bar entrance.

“The place you mentioned for relaxation is here?”

A young man with purple hair placed his hand on his companion’s shoulder. “Do not tell me you do not know what this place is, you good boy.”

The companion heartlessly slapped his cousin’s hand away and said, “If my uncle asks where you took me to relax, how should I answer?”

The purple haired man could not stand his cousin’s smile, the kind that looked gentle but felt ominous. He rubbed his arms and said, “Stop acting. Do not think I do not know you. You are dark to the core. On the surface, you are the quintessential model child, obedient and well behaved, but privately, your heart is darker than anyone’s.”

The man who had not spoken took a step forward. The lights at the bar entrance illuminated his sharp features. He was dressed in all black, tall and slender, with his hands tucked into his pockets. His posture was casual, yet his aura was powerful. Combined with his handsome face, passersby could not help but steal glances at him.

“Mosen, are we going in?” the cousin asked.

Jiang Mosen shrugged indifferently. “Let us go in then.”

Loud music blared inside the bar, but neither showed any signs of discomfort. They found a spot at the bar counter and sat down. The cousin asked Jiang Mosen, “What do you want to drink?”

“Anything.”

The cousin had the bartender serve Jiang Mosen the same drink he was having. After taking a sip, Jiang Mosen smiled. “Did you do this on purpose?”

The cousin laughed. “Do not be so sensitive. This wine just happens to have the same scent as your pheromones.”

Jiang Mosen took another sip and did not pursue the topic.

His cousin leaned in and said, “This bar is quite unique. Every Sunday night, there is a pole dancing performance. They say the performance is intense. If you are interested later, you can even talk with the dancer.” He gave Jiang Mosen a suggestive look.

“Not interested.”

His cousin threw an arm around Jiang Mosen’s shoulder. “Come on, why are you always so indifferent? You have zero interest in Omegas. Let me tell you a secret: the scent of an Omega is truly wonderful.”

Jiang Mosen let out a short laugh. “In my condition, I should not burden anyone.”

“Excuses, all excuses!” the cousin said, sounding heartbroken. “With your build, looks, and family background, so what if you do not have pheromones? These days, even Betas can find Omegas. Why can’t you?”

Jiang Mosen glanced at his simple minded cousin and decided not to waste any more words.

When the human genders changed to ABO, human emotional patterns changed accordingly. It was widely accepted that pheromones influenced emotions. Two people who disliked each other could instantly fall in love if their pheromone compatibility was high enough. From another perspective, humans had become slaves to pheromones.

People suffering from pheromone disorder could not control their internal pheromone levels or release them. Furthermore, their emotions were affected by the condition; typically, patients would not feel romantic attraction toward others.

If he did not love someone, Jiang Mosen would not force himself to be with them.

The cousin knew this topic was a taboo in the Jiang family. He would never dare mention it in front of the elders, but since Jiang Mosen was quite open about it, he had dared to say a few words. Seeing that Jiang Mosen did not want to continue, the cousin fell silent.

The overhead lights flashed, refracting the green liquid in the glasses into dreamlike colors. The bar was filled with an atmosphere of hedonism.

The cousin checked his watch and suddenly said with excitement, “He is coming!”

The music shifted to something even more explosive. The lights all focused on one corner of the stage. A crimson silk curtain was pulled aside by a slender, pale foot.

The crowd erupted. The cousin could not help but let out a whistle.

The next second, the music paused. A slender hand grabbed the pole, and the person flew around it like a nimble butterfly.

The cousin was mesmerized. He stood up and joined the crowd dancing wildly below the stage.

Jiang Mosen looked up at the person on stage. His skin was pale and smooth like polished jade under the lights. He had a great physique and striking features, though the makeup was a bit heavy.

He was a pleasant sight. Jiang Mosen appreciated the dancer the way one might admire a wild flower by the roadside, then he looked back down at his phone.

The person on the other end of the phone asked, “How do you want to handle Wan Xu?”

Jiang Mosen replied: “How does the school plan to handle it?”

“The Wan family has some influence in Jiangdong. After they pulled some strings, the school plans to have Wan Xu write a self reflection letter and let the matter slide.”

Jiang Mosen frowned. “Make him transfer schools.”

“I guessed you would want to handle it that way.”

Jiang Mosen added: “Add one more thing. Give him a major demerit and record it in his permanent file.”

He sent the message and thought about how ruthless he was being. If he did this, the Wan family would lose their minds. Wan Xu would have a hard time even getting into a good university. This would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Jiang Mosen gave a soft laugh. Before he could put his phone away, he saw another message.

“Is Brother Jiang finally feeling romantic? Helping that bullied Omega like this, do you like him?”

Just as Jiang Mosen was about to reply, he heard a roar from the crowd. He looked up and saw that the dancer had finished his performance.

Jiang Mosen looked back down to finish typing.

Ji Cenzhou looked at the waving hands below the stage and felt a massive headache.

Pole dancing was not difficult for him; the original owner’s body already had the muscle memory. He just had to let his body move on its own. Interacting with the guests was the real challenge.

The people were already going wild. Although the bar would protect his safety, at this rate, being groped was a certainty. This made Ji Cenzhou feel disgusted.

He looked around, trying to find a place with fewer people. He noticed a man sitting alone at the bar, looking down at his phone, completely uninterested in his surroundings. Ji Cenzhou’s eyes lit up. He thought to himself, He is the one!

Before he could move, the man looked up, revealing a handsome and familiar face.

Ji Cenzhou’s movement faltered, and he frowned slightly. Why was Jiang Mosen here? He did not seem like the type to visit such places. If he walked over abruptly, he might be chased away.

Chased away? That was exactly what he wanted! If Jiang Mosen chased him away, he could use being heartbroken as an excuse to flee backstage. That way, he would not have to interact with the guests.

The more Ji Cenzhou thought about it, the more he felt Jiang Mosen was the perfect choice. Jiang Mosen had pheromone disorder; he could not smell Ji Cenzhou’s pheromones, had no interest in him, and was not the type to take advantage of people.

Ji Cenzhou decided. He chose the spot closest to Jiang Mosen, used one hand to vault off the stage, hooked his arm around Jiang Mosen’s neck, and jumped directly into his lap.

Jiang Mosen had just finished replying to the message when he felt a weight on his legs. By the time he realized what was happening, someone was in his arms. The person was leaning against his chest with an arm hooked around his neck.

He frowned, intending to push the person away. But before he could even touch him, he suddenly caught a faint scent of Chinese rose.

His movements froze. The floral fragrance seemed to possess a kind of magic, causing the blood in his entire body to churn like lava, searing and hot. His original irritable mood was instantly soothed. Enticed by the faint floral scent, his heart wavered, and he only wanted to cherish the person in his arms.

With that thought in mind, he instinctively wrapped his arm around the person’s waist.

Ji Cenzhou was stunned. He thought to himself that Jiang Mosen was supposed to be the kind of person who would not take advantage of others. He was clearly wrong.
