"Class, please be quiet for a moment." Class teacher Ms. Zhang walked into the classroom. "Let me introduce our new classmates."
The noisy classroom quieted down a bit, and pairs of expectant and curious eyes looked at Teacher Zhang, seemingly unable to understand why someone would transfer schools in their senior year of high school.
"Come in." Teacher Zhang smiled and beckoned gently to Gu Qingqiu, who was still standing outside the door.
Gu Qingqiu entered the classroom with some hesitant steps. It wasn't that she was really afraid of introducing herself, but she had only just arrived in this world and knew nothing about the background story!
Knowing that saying too much would only lead to mistakes, Gu Qingqiu could only glance at the students present, lower her head and whisper, "Hello everyone, my name is Gu Qingqiu, and I'm a beta." After saying that, she carefully turned around, picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the three characters "Gu Qingqiu" on the blackboard stroke by stroke.
Wow! What an adorable young lady!
Welcome, new student!
"Sit next to me! There's an empty seat next to me!"
Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingqiu's face immediately turned red. She looked at Teacher Zhang, bewildered, and asked, "Teacher, where should I sit?"
"Anything is fine," Teacher Zhang said cheerfully. "You can sit in any empty seat, but given your height, you should sit in the front."
Coincidentally, there was an empty seat right in front of Gu Qingqiu's podium. The boy next to the empty seat was sleeping on the table, seemingly uninterested in the noise. He didn't seem like he would bother Gu Qingqiu with any questions.
So Gu Qingqiu immediately said, "Teacher Zhang, I want to sit here!"
Unexpectedly, Teacher Zhang hesitated, "Well... maybe... you should sit somewhere else?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingqiu asked, puzzled. "Is anyone sitting here?"
"No, no..." Teacher Zhang confirmed repeatedly, "Are you really going to sit here?"
"Mmm." Gu Qingqiu nodded. "It's close to the blackboard here, so it's convenient to copy what's written on the board."
Teacher Zhang sighed, "Alright."
So Gu Qingqiu put her schoolbag and the books she was holding on the table in front of the teacher's desk, which obviously woke up her sleeping deskmate.
Gu Qingqiu clearly saw his fingers twitch, but he showed no intention of looking up.
For the next two classes, this deskmate maintained the same posture.
Gu Qingqiu was genuinely puzzled. Didn't his hands get sore? Wasn't the teacher concerned?
The fact is that no matter how sore his hands were, his sleeping posture never changed, and the teacher ignored his classmate who was clearly sitting in the first row but was fast asleep.
This made Gu Qingqiu curious about her new deskmate, so when the school bell rang, she didn't rush to pack her schoolbag, but quietly waited for her new deskmate to wake up.
Half an hour later, after the students who were cleaning left, the student sitting next to the deskmate moved slightly.
"You're finally awake?" Gu Qingqiu asked him with a smile.
After a day of sleeping, my deskmate finally raised his head, looked at Gu Qingqiu beside him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "...Who are you?"
Looking up surprised Gu Qingqiu. She hadn't expected her cheap deskmate to be so good-looking! Could she be meeting the male lead so soon?
Although her overly long bangs covered part of her eyes, you could still see her long, thick eyelashes and her scrutinizing, hostile gaze.
So beautiful... That was Gu Qingqiu's first reaction.
“Um…” Although her deskmate seemed a bit intimidating, Gu Qingqiu decided to try to get along with him. “I’m your new deskmate. My name is Gu Qingqiu, and I’m a beta.”
“…I know.” My sleepy deskmate slumped back down, looking bored.
"Wait? You know me?" Gu Qingqiu asked in surprise, "How do you know me? Didn't I just transfer here today? Did you go to the same school as me before? I..."
"Shut up." My sleepy deskmate's tone was a little annoyed this time. "Didn't you already introduce yourself?"
"Huh?" Gu Qingqiu was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that her deskmate was referring to the self-introduction she had given in front of the whole class earlier.
He really did wake up then...
As Gu Qingqiu packed her schoolbag, she glanced at her sleepy deskmate's head, which seemed to scream "resistance," and regretted her impulsiveness. This deskmate was definitely not someone to mess with...
After packing her bag, Gu Qingqiu politely greeted her deskmate, "Um... I'm going home now, see you tomorrow!"
What Gu Qingqiu didn't see was that the moment she stood up, her deskmate also raised his head and stared at her back with dark eyes until she disappeared through the classroom door.
Once outside the classroom, Gu Qingqiu summoned the male protagonist system.
Gu Qingqiu: [This is actually an ABO world!]
Male protagonist system: 【Yes, host.】
Gu Qingqiu: [And then you assigned me the identity of a beta? Doesn't that mean I have absolutely no competitive advantage?!]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, good luck doesn't last forever.]
Gu Qingqiu: 【…Okay.】
Male Protagonist System: [However, the host who was born in this world was actually an omega. Does that offer any comfort to the host?]
Gu Qingqiu: [What? Are you sure this is comforting? Tell me what's going on!]
It turns out that Gu Qingqiu's mother in this world was named Zhang Xin'ai. Back then, Zhang Xin'ai suddenly had a severe allergic reaction for a period of time, with red rashes and edema all over her body, which looked very scary. In order to go out to work normally, she had to use a lot of anti-allergy drugs containing hormones.
But Zhang Xin'ai didn't know she was pregnant at the time, nor did she know that this would affect the fetus. Moreover, Gu Qingqiu was born a healthy omega.
But an unexpected event occurred when Gu Qingqiu was 6 years old; she unexpectedly began to secrete sex hormones and went into heat prematurely.
In a flurry of activity, Zhang Xin'ai took Gu Qingqiu to see a doctor, who told them that entering estrus too early can seriously affect an omega's physiological development and may even shorten their lifespan.
The doctor's advice was to inject hormones into the glands to forcibly stop their development. If the glands stopped developing, Gu Qingqiu would lose the ability to secrete pheromones and would no longer have omega characteristics. Consequently, she would also lose some of her fertility and it might even affect the development of her physiological organs.
But all of these become insignificant compared to Gu Qingqiu's life and health.
For Gu Qingqiu's health, Zhang Xin'ai signed the surgical consent form with tears in her eyes. After that day, Gu Qingqiu's gender information changed from female omega to female beta.
Because of this incident, Zhang Xin'ai always felt guilty towards Gu Qingqiu, feeling that it was her fault that Gu Qingqiu had suffered so much, so she always doted on Gu Qingqiu.
Gu Qingqiu, on the other hand, was unaware that she had once been an omega and had always adapted well to life as a beta.
