"Please don't sleep in! Please don't sleep in! Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, and eating well helps you grow taller quickly!"

Xia Shizhao opened her eyes as if her life force had been drained by a demon. She turned off the alarm clock and felt an urge to smash her head against the wall. She couldn't possibly continue attending this lousy school.

When Xia Shizhao looked at the time, it was seven o'clock. She almost couldn't catch her breath in frustration. She pounded her chest. She had been busy until almost one o'clock yesterday. This time, she was going to have to take a break once a month. Good heavens.

She was so desperate for money that she was almost dying. Although she didn't have much money left to spend, Xia Shizhao looked down and calculated the plot, only to find that there were still three years left.

Xia Shizhao glanced at herself in the mirror with a sense of weariness. She hadn't even warmed up the house yet. Luckily, she, a decorator and lazy person, hadn't had time to decorate it. Otherwise, she would have been furious to the point of having to redecorate her own home so soon.

She ate a few bites of breakfast hastily, then sat in the car, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

A moment later, with a sudden stop, Xia Shizhao was almost thrown off her bike. Rubbing her forehead, which had been bruised from the impact, she looked ahead and saw He Muchen riding his motorcycle, blocking their way. He then gave them the middle finger and drove off.

Xia Shizhao was speechless for a moment, then laughed in exasperation at this brainless and audacious chuunibyou teenager.

Her drowsiness vanished, and upon reaching the school gate, she picked up her bag and walked downstairs.

"Xia Shizhao!"

The unfamiliar voice made Xia Shizhao turn his head to look at the person who had come.

Xia Shizhao's eyes were full of confusion; he had a feeling that the newcomers were up to no good.

Her face was smug, and her voice was mocking:

"Hmph, you got dumped, didn't you~"

"Who are you? Class is about to start, don't bother me."

Another idiot. Rolling her eyes, Xia Shizhao walked away without looking back. If she dawdled any longer, she would be late. Although the teachers were not very strict, she had never been late except for skipping classes since she was a child.

After class, Xia Shizhao noticed that most of the students had different expressions as they passed by her, and she looked around at them with a puzzled expression.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

"You really got jilted?"

Mu Qinwan asked cautiously.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

A tone that was both indifferent and inexplicable.

"··········"

The girl at the table in front of him turned to look at Xia Shizhao, blinking her big almond-shaped eyes. "Aren't you sad?"

"It's not a big deal, why are you upset?"

She added:

"Being jilted at the altar is bad for one's reputation."

Hearing this, Xia Shizhao chuckled and waved his hand, "Si Qingyue, you usually seem pretty crazy, why are you acting like an old relic? I don't care about reputation or anything like that, it's worthless. As long as I'm happy, that's enough. Caring so much is exhausting."

"It's different. I'm a beta, so I'm not one for arranged marriages."

"...Well, whether it's a beta, an omega, or an alpha, none of them are tools for arranged marriages."

Xia Shizhao frowned slightly, feeling that these people had been brainwashed enough. Was this a marriage alliance that was absolutely necessary?

"…Shi Zhao, you're absolutely right!"

Mu Qinwan also had a look of sudden realization. Omegas from wealthy families are brainwashed from a young age to go through arranged marriages after adulthood, to meet alphas of the same level, to contribute to the family business, to burn themselves out to light up others.

Even though Mu Qinwan's family dotes on her, she can't escape this mindset. This is one of the reasons why it's difficult for omegas from wealthy families to succeed; they have abundant resources but don't know how to utilize them.

A cage made of candy is still a cage, still a confinement.

Here, have some candy.

Following the hand, she saw Si Qingyue looking at her with smiling eyes.

Xia Shizhao found it a little strange, but couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. He took the candy and gave her another one, saying, "A return gift."

Si Qingyue raised an eyebrow. "Thanks."

"Need not."

Mu Qinwan, standing to the side, was holding her phone, seemingly doing something, tapping away at the screen. Finally, she angrily slammed the phone down, then threw herself at Xia Shizhao with a wronged expression, yelling, "They went too far!!!!"

"What's wrong?"

"I want to run away from my wedding!!!"

"Huh?" Xia Shizhao's mind went blank, incredulous. "What? You're getting married!"

"Oh no! I actually have a fiancé!!! Can you believe it? I didn't even know I had one!!!"

Zhan Nan came in from the doorway, rolled his eyes when he heard Mu Qinwan's commotion, and then slowly said as he approached the two of them, "Your fiancé is Sister Leng."

"What! That ice-cold guy!!!! How did you know?"

Mu Qinwan's expression became even more distraught, and she hugged Xia Shizhao, whimpering and acting coquettishly.

Xia Shizhao stroked the fur of a puppy as if petting it, then looked up and asked:

"What's wrong with Anan?"

The person next to her offered her seat, but she waved her hand in refusal and touched her nose, asking, "Are you alright?"

"What do you want?" Xia Shizhao was taken aback, then realized, "Are you also here because of the arranged marriage?"

Janan nodded firmly, indicating that he agreed.

"OMG, Nan Nan, my darling, you really don't need to worry about me too much. It won't affect me. It's so kind of you to come all this way, you lazybones."

Xia Shizhao finished speaking with a touched expression, then looked behind him and asked, "Where's your little bodyguard?"

After asking, a flash of anger appeared in Zhan Nan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She said lazily, "I don't know. Who knows where she went? I'm going back now."

"Okay, do you want me to give you a ride?"

Zhan Nan's ears turned red, and he quickened his pace. "No need! You comfort that brat!"

Mu Qinwan, quickly realizing who she was referring to, suddenly looked up and roared, "You're the brat! I smell amazing!!!"

Xia Shizhao poked Mu Qinwan's head, "Oh, don't cry anymore~"

Mu Qinwan, who was only pretending to cry, coughed awkwardly twice. "Isn't it because your pheromones smell so good? I love the scent of magnolia flowers."

Upon hearing this, both of them were stunned.

Mu Qinwan looked up in horror, her eyes wide, "You??????"

Xia Shizhao touched her neck and found it was a little hot, which made her even more dumbfounded. No wonder she felt dizzy when she went out today.

Realizing what had happened, Mu Qinwan stood up and shouted in the classroom:

"Holy crap!!!! Omega and Alpha, get out of here!!!"

The omega and alpha, smelling the sweet fragrance, realized what was happening and ran out of the classroom.

The classroom door was locked, and Mu Qinwan called out from outside with concern:

Did you bring any inhibitors?

"without."

After finishing speaking, Xia Shizhao felt a little weak. Si Qingyue, who was sitting at the table in front of him, who hadn't moved at first, suddenly dragged her chair and quickly walked out.

Mu Qinwan, who had borrowed the inhibitor, saw a savior:

"Si! Help me out! You're a beta, get in here quickly!!!"

Si Qingyue, who had just left: ......

She bent over in pain, clutching her stomach, "Find someone from another class, I feel like I'm going to poop my pants."

Mu Qinwan jumped back, her face full of horror, "Ah? Then hurry up and go, don't actually poop your pants!"

They randomly picked a beta user and sent them medicine.

Xia Shizhao swallowed hard as he looked at the sharp needle.

He closed his eyes and plunged in.

Feeling the restlessness subside, she drank some water, turned on the classroom's ventilation system, and after the smell dissipated, she opened the classroom door. Seeing several alphas wearing anti-bite devices, she apologized with a hint of guilt.

They waved, indicating that they were used to it and couldn't blame her, because the omega's heat cycle and the alpha's susceptible period are both random, and no one can prevent it.

Then Xia Shizhao 'sadly' got a week of rest.

She successfully made Mu Qinwan jealous for a while.
