My Omega Ex-Wife Is Acting a Little Strange - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

“Shuyu, I heard a new classmate transferred into your class?” Li Qingqing from the opposite Class O(2) of the first year of high school came to Shen Shuyu’s class to find her as usual. Li Qingqing was born beautiful and glamorous, a fierce and domineering type, full of interest in this new classmate.

Shen Shuyu’s face turned pale, her expression dazed and lost, completely unaware that Li Qingqing had arrived.

Li Qingqing called out to Shen Shuyu a few times, but saw no response from her, so Li Qingqing quickly asked, “Shuyu? What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine.” Shen Shuyu removed Li Qingqing’s hand from her forehead, her tone still as calm as usual.

“What’s going on? Did you run into something bothersome?” Li Qingqing pulled out the stool in front of Shen Shuyu’s empty desk and asked with concern.

“There’s nothing, just that the senior from the club department differentiated during the winter vacation. She told me she doesn’t want to serve as the club department head anymore and wants me to take over.” Shen Shuyu knew Li Qingqing well; if she didn’t give her a reasonable explanation for everything, she would definitely keep probing until she got to the bottom of it, so she casually used this matter to brush her off.

“Then if you become the head, all the seniors under you will have to address you as head. How cool is that! Just agree to it.” Li Qingqing urged her on.

Shen Shuyu was just about to analyze the pros and cons with Li Qingqing when someone at the door called out to her, “Shuyu, your head is looking for you.”

Shen Shuyu looked up and saw Sun Chun smiling and greeting her.

It must be to persuade her to take over her position.

In her previous life, Shen Shuyu had taken it on. For her, serving as the club department head was no big deal; it was just that her identity as a first-year junior made it hard to convince the second-year seniors under her. In her previous life, Shen Shuyu had handled gaining everyone’s respect very smoothly, striking decisively, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.

But in this life, she didn’t want to take on that position anymore.

She had originally planned to be desk mates with Yu Mo, freeing up more time to spend with her, to properly live out these three high school years with her.

But now, in Shen Shuyu’s peripheral vision, Yu Mo was laughing and chatting with Wei Lai at the back of the classroom.

It seemed things had gone against her wishes.

With a complicated mood, Shen Shuyu left the classroom. Sun Chun handed her a small box of beautifully packaged chocolates. “This is what I bought during my winter vacation trip to Country Y this year. I think Junior Shen would like it.”

“Thank you, Head.” Shen Shuyu politely accepted the chocolates Sun Chun handed her.

Sunlight poured in from the middle of the courtyard-shaped teaching building, falling on Shen Shuyu’s clean and fair face, gentle yet not diminishing her aloofness. Admiration filled Sun Chun’s pair of slightly brown eyes as she smiled at Shen Shuyu. “No problem. Do you want to try some?”

These chocolates were not just bought; they were handmade by her.

During the winter vacation, Sun Chun had differentiated into an Omega just as written in her gene test report. Watching Shen Shuyu, who had been assigned to Class A upon enrollment based on her gene test, the feelings she had suppressed in her heart began to stir restlessly.

As she watched Sun Chun’s hand gradually approaching her, Shen Shuyu held the small box in her hand and let her arm drop naturally and without a trace. She refused, “No need. Senior, let’s talk about the main matter first.”

Sun Chun hadn’t expected Shen Shuyu to be so straightforward. She had originally wanted to touch Shen Shuyu’s fingers, but now she came up empty. Without even organizing her words, she stammered, “Ah… it’s still about the handover of our club department. I’ve looked for quite a few people, but I still think you’re the most suitable…”

The somewhat ambiguous scene just now had been noticed by many classmates in the class. Feng Ruoyu nudged Wei Lai with her elbow. “Hey, what do you think they’re doing over there?”

“Wow, on the first day of school, our class academic committee got confessed to. As expected of the famous prospective Alpha of the whole school.” Wei Lai looked at the two outside the window and couldn’t help raising both hands to clap.

“Who is it?” Yu Mo had almost forgotten that Shen Shuyu was still the class academic committee. She habitually lifted her head and followed everyone’s gaze to look.

The wiped clean and bright glass was like the screen of a TV. Shen Shuyu and Sun Chun stood framed together like the AO female leads in a midday soap opera.

Shen Shuyu had a slender figure, already grown to one meter sixty-seven even before differentiating, with a head of jet-black and lustrous long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Under the perfectly neat long hair, half of her high-bridged, milky-white profile was slightly exposed. The sunlight shone down, making her skin seem more dazzlingly translucent and fair than the light itself.

She was really very beautiful, the kind of beauty that could make people overlook her attributes.

It was also because of this kind of beauty that she seemed like a white poppy flower, holy yet dangerous.

People knew her danger, yet they still rushed in heedlessly to nurture her, ultimately willing to become the soil that sustained the flower.

Yu Mo knew her danger deeply, having tasted the pain firsthand. In this life, no matter what, she would not approach her again.

“Hey, what are you thinking about? You wouldn’t have fallen in love at first sight with Shen Shuyu, would you?” Wei Lai waved her hand in front of Yu Mo a few times without seeing any reaction from her and chuckled happily.

“Get lost. Only idiots would like her.” Yu Mo slapped Wei Lai’s hand away and sat back in her chair disdainfully.

As soon as Yu Mo sat down, she remembered that she had once been an idiot who liked Shen Shuyu, and the biggest one among all those idiots.

“Damn.” The more Yu Mo thought about it, the angrier she got. She lifted her foot and kicked her stool.

As a result, as soon as Yu Mo kicked down, she felt the chair vibrate in protest. In the next second, Yu Mo’s whole body sat on the ground, a pain from her buttocks making her little face scrunch up in a bunch.

This chair, which had been tormented by Wei Lai, collapsed under Yu Mo’s buttocks.

With a “pfft” sound, laughter that shook the bones erupted around her. Feng Ruoyu, Zhou Qi, and Wei Lai laughed together at the disheveled Yu Mo who hadn’t recovered yet, hurriedly helping her up.

Wei Lai squatted on the ground picking up the remains of the chair, slightly annoyed but unable to hide her amusement as she said to Yu Mo, “Oh, sister, I forgot to tell you. This chair is missing two fixed screws. Please don’t move around so much when you sit down.”

“You absolutely did it on purpose! Wei Lai!” Yu Mo clutched her buttocks; her tailbone ached terribly from the bump.

The bell for the first period rang. Yu Mo watched her classmates rushing back to the classroom and slowly picked up the broken chair, heading alone to the logistics office.

Skipping class was skipping class; she didn’t want to stand alone at the back row for class. That was too conspicuous and easy to be targeted by the teacher.

The logistics office was in another teaching building. Yu Mo walked on the connecting corridor between the two buildings, leisurely admiring the scenery around her.

A Affiliated Girls’ High School was located in an extremely superior spot. Though in the bustling B District of Uptown, the surroundings were rare in their quietness, with several low mountains behind it. Under the thin mist, the low mountains stretched continuously, shadowy and indistinct. Standing on the red brick corridor, one could watch the sunrise and sunset, the morning glow and evening clouds. It was truly stunningly beautiful.

Yu Mo had stayed in this place for three years and had never appreciated the scenery here as carefully as she did today.

She had really given up too much, too many things for Shen Shuyu in the past.

Yu Mo’s brows furrowed. With her hands behind her back, she recited a poem: “Those who abandon me need not be kept, yesterday’s days cannot stay!”

“Those who disturb my heart, today’s days bring much worry!”

“The long wind sends autumn geese for ten thousand miles—”

Yu Mo was dragging out the long tone when a cold and clear female voice from the other end of the corridor matched her next line: “At this, one can drink heartily on a high tower.”

Yu Mo was stunned for a moment, embarrassment flashing across her face. She had just thought no one was here and recited the poem so freely. Now someone had heard it; that was really awkward.

Yu Mo hadn’t expected that the more awkward thing was yet to come.

The person who had matched her poem slowly walked out from the corner. Shen Shuyu’s face, which Yu Mo had wanted countless times to forget but still recognized instantly upon seeing, appeared in her line of sight.

A sudden spring breeze rose, brushing past the stray hairs on Yu Mo’s cheek. Amid the disarray, Shen Shuyu’s skirt hem fluttered lightly, her slender and even legs stepping forward in orderly, elegant strides. Her back was straight, and she stood coldly aloof and proud in front of Yu Mo.

Yu Mo looked at the person in front of her and smiled in disbelief.

This was really quite a coincidence. She had clearly chosen to directly avoid Shen Shuyu, yet she still ran into her here.

Shen Shuyu also felt this was too much of a coincidence. She had just agreed upstairs in the conference room with Sun Chun to take over as the club department head. As she went downstairs, she heard Yu Mo’s voice.

At first, Shen Shuyu thought she had misheard, but unwilling to accept it as just a mishearing, her movements as she held the stairs to go down slowed again and again. Finally, in that line “today’s days bring much worry,” she confirmed it was Yu Mo’s voice.

In that instant, the elated mood made Shen Shuyu cast aside her usual etiquette. Her small leather shoes clattered on the steps, each sound syllable telling of her urgency.

Yu Mo was nearby; she had to hurry to catch up with her, to make her remember her.

“Why is Classmate Yu Mo here?” Shen Shuyu asked a question that wasn’t too unfamiliar.

Yu Mo glanced at Shen Shuyu, withdrew the expression from her face, raised the broken chair in her hand slightly, and said in an impatient tone, “Can’t you see? The stool is broken.”

Shen Shuyu’s heart thumped once. In her memory, Yu Mo had never spoken to her like this. This impatience, this coldness, was just like looking at a stranger—no, a hated person.

Yu Mo glanced at Shen Shuyu’s unpleasant expression and didn’t want to care whether she was unhappy because of her words. With a blank face, she said, “Sorry, I still need to go change the chair, so I won’t chat more with the academic committee.”

With that, Yu Mo really brushed past Shen Shuyu directly and turned into the stairwell.

If it weren’t for the faint, slightly cheap laundry detergent scent that matched Shen Shuyu’s memory when Yu Mo brushed past her, she might even think this person wasn’t Yu Mo.

Shen Shuyu turned around with difficulty to look at the girl carrying the stool and walking away dashingly. The frustration of being ignored by her once again was like a basin of cold water, drenching Shen Shuyu from head to toe.

Yu Mo’s way of addressing her was no longer Shuyu, no longer sister, but a cold, official position code.

Academic committee.
