Transmigrated as the Vampire Alpha of the Omega Heroine - Chapter 39
“Cough, don’t worry too much. I know a friend who specializes in alpha ability assessments. If you’re really concerned, I can ask him to examine you in a few days.” Expert Ji patted Gu Li’s shoulder, trying to comfort her.
“Really?”
There are actually experts like this…
Gu Li lowered her head, unconsciously touching the pointed teeth on either side of her mouth.
Her spirits still seemed low, an alpha who’d experienced marking once would naturally care deeply about this aspect.
“Yes, he switched to this field during his postgraduate studies in university. He was quite good at it, but in recent years, he seems to have returned to teach biology at some local high school.” Expert Ji took out her phone and started searching through her contacts. “Let me ask him. It’s the weekend anyway, so he’s not teaching. If he’s free, we might as well visit him at home.”
“Found him, Liu Mingyi.”
The man on the phone had a robust voice and was very enthusiastic. After hearing the situation, he immediately invited them over. During the journey, Expert Ji kept catching up with Liu Mingyi, while Gu Li sat beside her, faintly hearing mentions of “B High School.”
This person actually taught biology at her school. Could she have seen him before?
This doubt was resolved the moment Liu Mingyi opened the door. The teacher was wearing the same Zhongshan suit he had on the day she waited outside to catch Jiang Nian. Though she hadn’t seen his face clearly then, the vague figure in her memory instantly overlapped with the man before her.
“Old Ji!” Liu Mingyi warmly embraced Expert Ji before turning to stare at Gu Li. “So it’s you, young one. Come on in.”
Gu Li nodded and followed him inside. After sitting down with permission, she hesitantly asked, “Teacher, do you teach an elective at our school?”
Liu Mingyi rubbed his nose and laughed. “Am I that famous? Hahaha! Ever since I started that elective, students don’t call me Teacher Liu anymore, they call me the Alpha Guide Teacher. Perfect timing, let’s assess you and see if there are any issues. I’ll also prepare an improvement guide for you.”
With that, a familiar sheet of paper was placed before Gu Li. The partial guide she’d seen in Jiang Nian’s book was now replaced by a full-page alpha self-assessment questionnaire filled with questions and options. This teacher really was the one who taught the elective on “How to Be a Better Alpha.”
Who would have thought Jiang Nian’s guide had been filled out by Mu Lan instead of her? In the end, she still had to complete it herself.
Gu Li gathered her thoughts and focused on the questions, answering each one truthfully. Whenever she had doubts, she asked Teacher Liu, and soon she set down her pen.
“Done?” Teacher Liu took the paper, handed them both tea, and sat down to review it carefully.
Wearing glasses, he occasionally marked the paper with a red pen. But as he reached the later sections, he suddenly chuckled.
“What is it? Is there a problem?” Gu Li sensed something amiss.
Liu Mingyi waved his hand dismissively. “This material is almost identical to one I saw recently from a young alpha. That kid was quite interesting they actually wrote ‘Hope to solve the problem of not being able to mark’ on a blank sheet. Now I’m wondering if you two might be twins.”
“Huh?” Gu Li was completely baffled until she saw Liu Mingyi walk to his bookshelf and retrieve a sheet of paper to hand her.
“This one. Honestly, I don’t even need to prepare another improvement guide for you.”
The paper began with a familiar phone number. As her eyes traveled down the page, the handwriting of the sentence “Hope to solve the problem of not being able to mark” looked painfully familiar.
It was Jiang Nian’s.
That alpha self-assessment guide hadn’t been for Mu Lan, the little omega had been testing her all along.
Gu Li inexplicably felt her teeth itching. Unsure what expression to make, she looked up at the phone Liu was holding out, which displayed links to exercise videos and recipes. Before even clicking, she could guess the recipes were those loving lunches Nian had been making, and the exercises were probably those nightly relaxation routines.
“Alright, come here so I can check your gland condition and your teeth issue,” Liu said after she’d saved the materials. His movements were gentle as he guided her to the examination chair, but the contact with her most vulnerable areas still felt uncomfortable. The alpha pheromones emanating from Liu Mingyi even made Gu Li want to counter them with her own.
“Gland function is normal. Open wide.” He picked up a prepared tongue depressor. “Say ‘ah’—”
“Ah—” As Liu’s face came close, the instrument probed her teeth. After a brief examination, he stopped.
Removing his gloves, he explained, “No issues. The dental sac openings are well-developed, and you’ve gained sensitivity to other alphas’ pheromones. Since you mentioned that omega’s compatibility with your pheromones is high, the marking problem isn’t between you two. It’s likely Ji Shu’s medication blocking her natural marking instinct. I don’t know why you’d take such drugs, but once you stop, you won’t experience teeth retracting mid-mark anymore.”
Pausing, he wrote an “S” on Gu Li’s assessment sheet. “Given your comprehensive test results combined with Ji Shu’s submitted metrics and training regimen, you could mark someone for a full day and night without exhausting your pheromones.”
The revelation was dizzying.
Just as Gu Li was recovering from the humiliation of being suspected as inadequate by her omega, who’d been so concerned she sought help, Liu’s next question floored her.
“Have you watched proper marking tutorial videos? I can provide a complete instructional set here. Some high-level omegas might choose others if their alpha proves inadequate. Learning correct and efficient marking techniques helps omegas better enjoy the experience.” Liu’s words were like tempting her to open Pandora’s box.
“I learned about it in physiology class,” Gu Li replied, her cheeks tinged with slight embarrassment as she hesitated to directly voice her desire.
“This is the advanced version. Schools usually only teach the basics. I’ve only given it to you and that young alpha, after all, only those with good physical fitness can properly utilize the methods taught in these videos.” Liu Mingyi pulled out a disc from somewhere and waved it casually.
That young alpha?
Gu Li’s expression shifted slightly. So he must have given it to Jiang Nian. What would a little Omega need this for? Come to think of it, Jiang Nian was a high-tier Omega, wasn’t she?
First studying recipes to make her heart-shaped lunches, then exercise videos to subtly coax her into working out, and now marking videos? Was she planning to do it herself? Or did she think the alpha wasn’t up to the task and was preparing to find someone else?
She realized her thoughts were spiraling into absurdity.
“Thank you.” Her body moved before her brain could stop her. Carefully storing the disc, she bowed slightly to Teacher Liu in earnest gratitude.
For high school seniors, the most relaxing moments were mealtimes, morning runs, and evening exercises on the field to maintain physical activity.
Jiang Nian noticed recently that Gu Li’s lunches surprisingly aligned perfectly with the recipes from that alpha, eliminating her need to specially portion extra dishes for her. Moreover, when they reached the field in the evenings, Gu Li would already have completed a set of exercises without needing her guidance, gradually increasing the intensity each time.
How strange. Was this heaven’s way of lightening her burden because she was approaching college entrance exams?
“Nian Nian, I’m done. Let’s head back for evening self-study.”
Gu Li’s voice snapped her out of her daze. Wiping sweat from her hands with prepared tissues, the alpha reached to hold her hand, leading them toward the classroom.
“Okay,” Jiang Nian nodded.
“By the way, physics and math are your weaker subjects. After finishing the assigned homework, I’ve compiled all your past mistakes. Let’s work together to strengthen those areas,” the alpha suggested with her usual academic concern, as if this were just another routine study plan.
“Okay.”
But when she actually saw the problems, something felt off. With only half an evening self-study session left, why had Gu Li assigned her so many questions?
The notebook meticulously transcribed every past mistake, organized by difficulty level. Gu Li’s neat handwriting filled the pages clear evidence of thoughtful preparation.
“I might not finish…” The kitten-like Omega already contemplated skipping some, as Gu Li kept highlighting more problems, each triggering an instinct to flee.
Her private tutor pretended not to understand, circling particularly challenging questions with red ink. “We’ll complete these difficult ones at school. Take the rest home, I’ll explain them during tomorrow’s long break.” Her businesslike demeanor radiated pure benevolence.
It truly was for her benefit. Every moment counted during this critical exam period, no room for distractions on trivial matters.
The assigned problems were enough to keep the little kitten busy until bedtime, leaving no extra time for anything else while ensuring her studies remained on track for the next day. Gu Li, already guaranteed admission, had plenty of free time to get ahead. Now, all she needed to do was slow down the Omega’s progress in studying the course materials ensuring Jiang Nian’s college entrance exam scores stayed high while keeping her from overthinking.
The alpha twirled her pen smugly, her striking crimson eyes narrowing with amusement. “Nian Nian, time waits for no one. We can’t afford to slack off like this, or you’ll end up like Mu Lan, stuck in the physics teacher’s office all day correcting exams because you failed. It’s fine if you don’t finish, but don’t waste a single moment before bedtime.”
Third time’s the charm, this was her last chance to turn the tables.
