Dressed as the Scumbag Alpha Mom of the Tragic Female Lead (ABO, GL) - Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Jiang Chuxie’s sudden rush into the room startled not only Yuan Ning but also Gu Lingjun. An Alpha’s physical prowess naturally surpassed that of Betas and Omegas. Jiang Chuxie, who trained regularly to prepare for emergencies, was far stronger than Yuan Ning, a typical student buried in books. In an instant, she pinned Yuan Ning to the ground with overwhelming force.

“Jiang… Jiang Chuxie…”

Yuan Ning’s body was firmly restrained under Jiang Chuxie’s knee, barely able to move. The look on Jiang Chuxie’s face filled her with dread.

She could hardly believe that this wild, violent Alpha was the same Jiang Chuxie who, just months ago, seemed aloof yet carried a gentle air.

“What do you think you’re doing? Didn’t I warn you not to get near Lingjun?” Jiang Chuxie’s oppressive aura felt almost tangible, suffocating Yuan Ning.

She had only come back to grab her book, and her conversation with Gu Lingjun was purely accidental. Yes, she hoped to gain Gu Lingjun’s understanding… maybe even her support, but she hadn’t initiated the talk!

“It’s not…”

“What, you think I can’t do anything to you, huh? You just won’t leave us alone, will you?”

Pinned down by the Alpha’s immense strength, Yuan Ning felt like she might die. In her panic, she vaguely glimpsed a dark shadow behind Jiang Chuxie, looming as if ready to devour both her and Jiang Chuxie.

“No—”

“Chuxie!”

Neither Yuan Ning nor Jiang Chuxie seemed to hear Gu Lingjun’s shout. With no other choice, Gu Lingjun rushed from her seat to pull at Jiang Chuxie.

She had never seen her lover so unhinged and furious. In this moment, Jiang Chuxie seemed no different from other Alphas—impulsive, arrogant, and capable of violence far beyond other genders.

Honestly, in that split second, a flicker of fear stirred in Gu Lingjun’s heart. But before she could process where that fear came from, Yuan Ning’s dire situation forced her to act.

Ignoring the risk of getting hurt, she grabbed Jiang Chuxie’s arm, which was pinning Yuan Ning, and shouted, “Chuxie, Chuxie, let go! You’re going to kill Yuan Ning!”

Her words were no exaggeration—Alpha violence could easily be lethal to others.

Only now did Gu Lingjun realize how tightly wound Jiang Chuxie was, losing all reason over the slightest provocation.

“Chuxie!”

Even with all her strength, she couldn’t budge Jiang Chuxie. Gritting her teeth, she threw herself onto Jiang Chuxie, cupped her face, and kissed her fiercely. One hand covered Jiang Chuxie’s eyes, the other wrapped around her shoulders. Her teeth bit Jiang Chuxie’s lips, alternating between gentle and firm.

She tried to capture all of Jiang Chuxie’s attention with her presence, filling her mind with her scent.

Jiang Chuxie clung tightly to her, muscles taut like a panther ready to pounce. But the fragrance of orchids, the slightly painful kiss, and Gu Lingjun’s soft yet tender embrace gradually calmed her.

She held Gu Lingjun and slumped to the floor, leaning against a desk, cradling Gu Lingjun like a treasure.

Gu Lingjun sat astride her lap, carefully soothing her emotions. She could feel tears streaming from Jiang Chuxie’s eyes, soaking her palm, and sensed Jiang Chuxie’s childlike helplessness.

“It’s okay, Chuxie, I’m fine…” Gu Lingjun’s heart ached. “I’m right here, safe and sound, aren’t I? Don’t be so tense, Chuxie…”

This wasn’t the Jiang Chuxie she knew. If something had changed her, it must be because of her, right? Though she’d had a vague sense of it, she’d overlooked how tightly wound Jiang Chuxie was.

Yuan Ning finally broke free from Jiang Chuxie’s grip, retreating to the other side of a desk, gasping as if she’d escaped death.

Jiang Chuxie’s actions had truly terrified her. That wasn’t the behavior of a rational person. No exaggeration—she thought Jiang Chuxie had gone mad.

When Jiang Chuxie had tackled her like a gust of wind, Yuan Ning saw madness and hatred in her eyes, a fury that sent chills down her spine.

As she caught her breath and her mind stopped buzzing, she overheard Gu Lingjun comforting Jiang Chuxie and Jiang Chuxie’s soft sobs.

How unfair. The one who used violence was crying—what was that about? Wasn’t she the one who needed comfort?

Yuan Ning clutched her throat, coughing dryly, her back aching like it was falling apart.

“Gu Lingjun… cough cough… what’s wrong with her…”

Wasn’t Gu Lingjun afraid to be around someone so emotionally unstable?

“She’s fine, just overly sensitive about you all.”

Unlike the gentle tone she used with Jiang Chuxie, Gu Lingjun’s voice was noticeably colder when answering Yuan Ning.

Having been attacked, Yuan Ning couldn’t help feeling a bit wronged.

“We were wrong before, but those who messed up have been punished. You’re the one who spoke to me today, and she attacked me without reason. You can’t say it’s my fault!”

Gu Lingjun sighed softly, her tone softening. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Chuxie was too impulsive. I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Faced with such a sincere apology, Yuan Ning couldn’t say much more.

“Today, I’ll consider myself unlucky,” she said, picking up her fallen glasses and struggling to stand. “But you should know her current state isn’t right. I feel guilty toward you and won’t pursue this, but others might not be so forgiving.”

“Thanks.”

Only after standing did Yuan Ning realize how much her body hurt. The full force of an Alpha’s charge was terrifying.

“Don’t thank me. I have to warn you—she’s not just a threat to others.”

With that, Yuan Ning limped out of the classroom. Gu Lingjun took a deep breath, leaned against Jiang Chuxie, and said softly, “Chuxie, she’s gone. It’s okay now.”

Only then did Jiang Chuxie’s tense muscles fully relax.

“I’m sorry…”

She didn’t want to lose control in front of Gu Lingjun, but the moment she saw Yuan Ning, all reason vanished. Even though Yuan Ning was far from Gu Lingjun and there was no apparent conflict, her only thought was that Yuan Ning would hurt Gu Lingjun.

That single thought consumed her mind, driving her actions. Her body screamed to eliminate all threats—real or perceived—through the most primal, violent, and irrational means.

It was a terrifying feeling. Unlike when she was framed and acted on instinct, this time, it felt like even her thoughts weren’t her own.

To protect Gu Lingjun, she was ready to do anything. But this impulsiveness wasn’t what she needed—it only caused trouble and worried Lingjun.

As for Yuan Ning and the Lianping Association, she could handle them another way.

Gu Lingjun gently combed her long hair, saying with concern, “You don’t need to apologize to me, but I’m worried about you. Chuxie, you’re too tense. This isn’t good.”

“I understand…”

“You can share your anxieties with me. I’ll bear them with you. We’re true partners now—don’t carry everything alone, okay?”

Jiang Chuxie nodded, helping Gu Lingjun stand. “I know.”

Gu Lingjun frowned slightly, gripping her hand. “Chuxie, let’s see a doctor.”

Jiang Chuxie stiffened, forcing a small smile. “I admit I was overly tense just now, but it’s not that serious.”

Unlike before, when her trauma stemmed from being framed and unintentionally getting involved with Gu Lingjun, this was something she wanted to address and was willing to discuss with a doctor.

But this time, her fear came from knowing the future of this “book,” tied to her origins and the nature of this world. She could never share that with a stranger—not even a therapist.

Treating it as a nightmare wouldn’t address the root of her fears. Even if a doctor was trustworthy and believed her, they couldn’t resolve her concerns.

Besides, many real-world mental patients probably had stories that seemed more plausible than hers. Not only would a doctor not believe her, but even Lingjun… probably wouldn’t either.

“Serious or not, seeing a doctor will ease my mind.”

Gu Lingjun was firm, and Jiang Chuxie didn’t argue, agreeing, “Alright, I’ll make an appointment when I go with you for your next checkup, okay?”

Gu Lingjun nodded, returning to her seat to pack her things.

“Yuan Ning only came back to get her book. I spoke to her first. She hasn’t approached me lately, so you don’t need to warn the Lianping Association again. Let’s not stir up more trouble.”

Jiang Chuxie followed closely, asking softly, “Lingjun, why did you talk to Yuan Ning… was there something specific?”

Gu Lingjun packed her bag, took Jiang Chuxie’s hand, and soothed her before answering.

“Chuxie, I’ve noticed how tense you’ve been. Yuan Ning is my classmate, and honestly… I have a good impression of her. So I thought maybe not everyone in the Lianping Association is like that.”

Jiang Chuxie tightened her grip on Gu Lingjun’s hand, eyes downcast. “Even if that’s true, does it change anything?”

“If it’s just a few people’s ideas, the threat to us isn’t as big, and you wouldn’t need to be so tense. Don’t push yourself too hard. We’re doing fine now, aren’t we? Constantly worrying about unlikely dangers and missing out on life’s joys—is that really worth it?”

As long as she could protect Gu Lingjun, it was worth everything.

“I’ll be more careful… but I still don’t want you getting too close to Yuan Ning or the Lianping Association. They might try to recruit you.”

Gu Lingjun smiled lightly. “If they want to recruit me, they’d need to prove themselves. If I joined them, it’d mean they earned my approval. Chuxie, don’t worry about that—I’m not that naive.”

But Jiang Chuxie’s concerns went beyond that. Even if the Lianping Association became a true equality movement, she didn’t want Gu Lingjun involved—it would only increase her chances of danger.
