Meng E glanced at Qiao Yu's pale face, which was trying hard to remain calm, and then at Jiang Mei's cold and unapproachable aura, silently making herself less noticeable. She and Jiang Mei were junior high school classmates, and it could be said that she knew Jiang Mei's temperament like the back of her hand. Before Qiao Yu transferred to the foreign language school, Meng E was second to none in what Jiang Mei was like.

She had always thought that Qiao Yu was Jiang Mei's salvation. After all, ever since Qiao Yu shamelessly squeezed into Jiang Mei's world, everyone could clearly feel the changes in Jiang Mei.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what changed, but it's definitely inseparable from Qiao Yu's appearance.

Qiao Yu remained motionless. Meng E couldn't help but gently nudge her with her elbow and whisper, "Yu Yu, I'll go out for a while."

She winked at Qiao Yu, her meaning quite clear.

Qiao Yu instinctively reached out Er Kang's hand to grab Meng E, but the delicate and helpless omega suddenly seemed to have a burst of strength from nowhere, and in a few steps ran to the door and disappeared completely.

The atmosphere around them instantly turned cold. Qiao Yu gripped the ground with her toes, wishing she could leave as well.

But running away wasn't an option, and she had to appease Jiang Mei. Qiao Yu steeled herself and moved to the back row, her brown eyes fixed on Jiang Mei, who was doing her homework with her head down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yesterday. I apologize to you."

Jiang Mei remained unmoved, while Qiao Yu's grip on her sleeve tightened. "Please forgive me this time, okay?"

Jiang Mei paused in her homework, finally looking up. Her gaze swept over Qiao Yu's extremely regretful face, finally settling on her slightly reddened eyes. "You did nothing wrong."

The mistake was that he revealed his feelings to her without warning, breaking the last barrier and ending up not even being able to be friends anymore. Qiao Yu had already politely and courteously rejected him.

Jiang Mei's eyelashes drooped down, obscuring her dark, clear eyes. "I need to memorize vocabulary words."

She clearly didn't want to discuss the topic anymore, and Qiao Yu didn't dare to be shameless and pester her.

When Meng E entered and found that the two had not only failed to reconcile but the atmosphere had become even more tense, she almost wanted to ask the teacher to change her seats that very night. Sitting down cautiously, Meng E glanced at Jiang Mei and Qiao Yu out of the corner of her eye, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Yu Yu, when is your expected differentiation time?"

Qiao Yu rubbed her face. "I don't know, but it should be soon."

Most of her classmates had already differentiated. Jiang Mei had differentiated into an alpha two years ago, and even Meng E differentiated into an omega last week, but Qiao Yu hadn't shown any signs of differentiation. Taking out the test report from her desk, Qiao Yu frowned slightly. "If what this says is true, then my differentiation should happen in two or three months."

Meng E was about to lean closer for a closer look when she suddenly felt a needle-like gaze fly towards the back of her head. She reflexively distanced herself from Qiao Yu and lowered her voice: "Yu Yu, after you differentiated, you shouldn't be weaker than Jiang Mei, right?"

Qiao Yu immediately perked up. Of course, in the original story, after Qiao Yu differentiated, she became the number one Alpha in the capital, surpassing all of Jiang Mei's suitors.

Jiang Mei's harem was never weak, especially her cannon fodder ex-wife.

After pausing for half a second, Qiao Yu suddenly thought, "Since I'm about to differentiate into a strong and powerful Alpha, why should I still coax the female lead? Even if she wants to come after me for revenge later, she can't beat me."

The system twitched its little ears and couldn't help but say, "I think your idea is a bit dangerous, host."

Qiao Yu: "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

Jiang Mei suddenly noticed that the woman in front of her had suddenly become cheerful. Not only was she humming a tune with herself, but she was also shamelessly sidling up with Meng E, gazing at Song Wanzi's photo with obvious infatuation. Fortunately, the two quickly stopped talking and each picked up their books to study.

Jiang Mei breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.

She wanted to completely sever ties with Qiao Yu, but... how easy is it to forget someone?

She could only rely on her alpha's excellent self-control to try not to think about him, but it didn't seem to work. The more she told herself not to think about him, the more her mind would be filled with his gentle and clean eyebrows and soft, moist red lips. Every inch of his body became even more alluring under her deliberate suppression.

She wanted to get closer to her more and more.

But she knew she wasn't good enough for him; she was always very self-aware.

However, Qiao Yu only dared to think about such things secretly in her mind. It was best not to offend the female lead if possible, otherwise who knew if some sudden act of justice would cause her to die young. But failing to appease Jiang Mei made Qiao Yu feel even more frustrated. Just then, she coughed uncomfortably, and Meng E and Jiang Mei looked up at the same time, "Yu Yu, are you alright?"

The moment Jiang Mei turned her gaze over, Qiao Yu noticed. She said it was nothing, but then coughed weakly twice. "I just caught a chill from getting caught in the rain yesterday, it's nothing serious."

Meng E felt relieved. "Then I'll go with you to the infirmary to get some medicine after class."

Qiao Yu nodded, noticing that Jiang Mei's gaze had not yet left her, so she covered her mouth and nose and coughed twice, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible, "Thank you."

Jiang Mei looked away and stared at her textbook, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. Had she caught a cold?

Was it because you caught a cold from the wind and rain when you ran out to look for me last night?

In an instant, Jiang Mei felt an overwhelming joy. So, she still cared about her? Because she cared about her, she had rushed to find her in the heavy rain despite her weak body.

In just a moment, all the joy in Jiang Mei's heart vanished like bubbles. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Qiao Yu was of noble status and would inherit all of the Qiao family's businesses. She would also marry the most gentle and beautiful omega in the capital. In the eyes of these rich people, Jiang Mei was not even as good as a watchdog.

How could he possibly hope that she would like him?

Qiao Yu gradually realized that Jiang Mei was trying to distance herself from her, so she had no choice but to resort to her trump card—pretending to be weak.

No one could be so heartless as to abandon a sick girlfriend who was about to differentiate into an alpha, unless she had no heart.

The lunch break bell had just rung, and before the teacher had even left the classroom, Qiao Yu hurriedly stood up from her chair. Pretending to trip over a table leg, she aimed at Jiang Mei and then frantically fell back down.

With that soft, delicate body so close, Jiang Mei almost instinctively reached out and pulled her close. Her waist was incredibly slender, so thin it seemed like it could be broken in two, and the expensive fabric felt exquisite to the touch. At the same time, a faint fragrance wafted into her nostrils without warning, almost making her freeze.

Qiao Yu landed successfully on Jiang Mei's lap, secretly pleased, but still looking uncomfortable, she apologized, "I'm sorry, I was a little dizzy just now."

The system stared unblinkingly at its dramatic host, “…” What’s there to be embarrassed about? Even if you were embarrassed, you just sat on their lap, didn’t you?

Meng E was the first to regain her senses, and immediately rushed to Qiao Yu in alarm, "Yu Yu, are you alright?! Are you about to differentiate?"

Some people are particularly weak during the period when they are about to differentiate. Thinking that Qiao Yu was sick again yesterday, she quickly pulled Qiao Yu off Jiang Mei's lap, "I'll go to the infirmary with you now."

The person in her arms rushed in without warning and left without warning. Jiang Mei's heart seemed to drift away with Qiao Yu, leaving only an empty and bewildered feeling.

She moved her fingers, her fingertips still retaining the other's softness and warmth. Jiang Mei looked up at Qiao Yu's staggering steps, and before her brain could react, she had already stood up and naturally pulled the person into her arms from Meng E's hands. "I'll take her."

Meng E was taken aback, then wisely let go of his hand.

Qiao Yu quickly slipped from Meng E's arms into Jiang Mei's embrace. Jiang Mei was tall and strong, and even with Qiao Yu clinging to her, she didn't flinch. Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, her tone filled with longing, "If I married an alpha, my life would definitely be very happy."

The system is full of question marks; something's wrong with you.

Jiang Mei remained silent the entire way, so Qiao Yu had no choice but to continue whimpering and pretending to be sick. A few minutes later, she finally caught Jiang Mei's attention. "Are you feeling very unwell?"

Qiao Yu immediately perked up and nodded weakly, "Mm."

But a gentle, bright smile immediately appeared on her face. "But with you by my side, it doesn't feel so bad."

Jiang Mei didn't respond.

After a lot of fuss in the infirmary, the doctor gave Qiao Yu several meaningful looks, but besides telling her to rest, he didn't give her any medicine. In the end, Qiao Yu had to be persistent and insist that she felt unwell all over before the doctor finally gave her a box of cold medicine, treating her like she was an idiot.

Seeing her frail and weak appearance as she leaned against Jiang Mei's arms, the doctor couldn't help but say, "Student, you will differentiate into a top-tier alpha in the future."

Qiao Yu blinked. "I know."

"So please don't be so 0, okay?"

Jiang Mei turned her face away, her tightly pursed lips suppressing a barely suppressed laugh. Qiao Yu blushed, and sullenly pulled Jiang Mei away from the infirmary. Being criticized for being effeminate in front of Jiang Mei made Qiao Yu feel ashamed, and she quickly slipped back to Heaven and Earth.

Heaven on Earth was a first birthday gift from the original owner's mother. After years of operation, it has become the most famous bar and club in the capital. Qiao Yu has reserved a room there for herself, and she often comes to stay for two or three days at a time. Before, it was to be closer to Jiang Mei, to appear before Jiang Mei as quickly as possible to help her out when Jiang Mei needed her most, but now…

Qiao Yu was dazzled by the sight, "This omega is so gentle!"

The system had barely glanced over when Qiao Yu turned around again, her eyes fixed on a group of fair-skinned, beautiful omegas not far away. "Wow!"

The system became wary, and sure enough, Qiao Yu's next question was, "Aren't those my wives?"

Qiao Yu is almost eighteen years old, and she can already have romantic storylines on Jinjiang Literature City, so it's not unreasonable for her to find herself a boyfriend now, right? But Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Song is still the best. She calls me 'sister' during the day and 'sister' at night."

The system spoke without any emotion, "Host, I have to remind you, your Sister Song belongs to Jiang Mei."

Qiao Yu suddenly wanted to argue with the clueless system, "So what?"

"Her woman is fine, but the next second she's mine."
