The Frail, Alluring O Always Wants Me to Mark Her (GL) - Chapter 5: 05
Having set the stage, Zhu Lexing’s eyes brightened slightly. Before anyone could react, she sped up her words: “You’re nothing but a somewhat pretty Omega. Although you’re good-looking, a frail little Omega like you who can barely lift a few books, I can take on ten of you with one hand!”
Everyone who was holding their breath, about to feign deafness and pretend not to hear her insulting words: ?
The system didn’t strictly demand a specific tone for the phrases. Zhu Lexing pondered for a long time and finally decided to get by with some suggestive remarks—
To avoid the system finding fault, she even deliberately put down Yan Mian a few times.
In her ear, the system, which had started calculating points as soon as she finished the sentence, paused.
It seemed to be the first time it encountered such a host completing a task. Its voice was rarely hesitant. After a few seconds, it finally said: [Completed Task 1 twice, current points: 2.]
Zhu Lexing let out a long sigh of relief.
Whether it was plain talk or coded language, as long as it didn’t hurt Yan Mian and didn’t electrocute her, it was good talk.
She shrewdly knew when to quit. When she came back to her senses, the living room was dead silent, and as her gaze shifted slightly, it met Yan Mian’s peculiar look.
The fear in the girl’s amber pupils had faded considerably due to the sudden interlude, replaced by a complex emotion as difficult to decipher as a pie chart.
But Zhu Lexing, being stared at by her, understood these myriad thoughts, because ultimately, they contained only three words—
“Crazy person.”
Turning to look again, all the domestic helpers were staring at her as if they’d seen a ghost. Zhu Lexing felt increasingly awkward.
All the domestic helpers were staring at her as if they’d seen a ghost. Zhu Lexing, being stared at by her beautiful, motionless face, couldn’t help but feel awkward.
And her way of expressing embarrassment was to twitch the corner of her mouth—
Her expression turned even fouler.
“What are you looking at? Do you think there’s a problem with what I said?”
One stone stirred a thousand ripples; no one contradicted her, all unanimously expressing their disagreement. Only Yan Mian remained silent.
But Zhu Lexing was so embarrassed she could build ten sandcastles in three seconds. She didn’t dare to look at Yan Mian again. After baring her fangs and warning everyone, she stomped upstairs a few steps, guided by the system.
Her figure was tall and slender. When her face was out of sight, the fear in Yan Mian’s eyes finally completely dissipated.
Zhu Lexing left, but the people in the living room still didn’t dare to stop their actions. In front of Yan Mian, the male servant bent down, his voice overflowing with a fawning tone: “Miss Yan, dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now?”
Yan Mian looked up at the male servant who usually enjoyed ignoring her. From being arrogant to a loyal servant, it only took a few commands from Zhu Lexing.
She merely curled the corner of her lips, not even pausing her gaze on him, and went upstairs directly.
The ignored male servant’s smile froze on his face. It took him a while to recover.
This small interlude was naturally unknown to Zhu Lexing.
The original owner’s room was on the third floor, connected to a bathroom and a walk-in closet. The floor was covered with carpets, and the bed in the center of the bedroom could fit ten Zhu Lexings.
The room also had the same woody scent as the car, which was very hypnotic.
The velvet comforter was soft and comfortable; sinking into it felt like being in the clouds. Zhu Lexing had just buried her head in the pillow, wanting to sleep soundly, when the cold, robotic system voice echoed in the bedroom:
[According to surveys and statistics, approximately 891 novels have been banned due to protagonists in campus literature disliking studying. To prevent this world from becoming the 892nd, please, Host, set an example and complete today’s homework.]
Zhu Lexing was drowsy and didn’t hear it clearly the first time. It wasn’t until the system repeated itself that her perpetually unchanging expression finally cracked.
“Do homework?!” Zhu Lexing clutched her heart dramatically, saying incredulously, “Which transmigrated protagonist does homework! I’m already willing to offend Yan Mian for you, shouldn’t you handle this kind of thing yourself?!”
System: [1. You completed the task today, Yan Mian’s favorability did not increase or decrease, so there is no offense. 2. Aren’t you exactly that?]
Zhu Lexing was one second away from dying on the spot: “…Is there really no room for negotiation?”
The system silently answered her: No.
Zhu Lexing could only roll out of bed and painstakingly sit at her desk.
She opened her bag, dumped out all the books, and, guided by the system, opened a few of them. Holding a pen, she felt a bit dizzy from the words at first glance, but after a closer look, she found that she knew some parts, but not many.
So Zhu Lexing could only start with the multiple-choice questions.
Even more infuriating, if Zhu Lexing stared blankly for more than ten seconds, the system would abruptly pop up to remind her: [Please, Host, set an example and promote green and positive original works.]
Zhu Lexing wanted to use a homework-solving app, but the system sternly reminded her that it was “too un-positive.” After a few such instances, Zhu Lexing already regretted transmigrating.
She didn’t want to arm her brain with knowledge.
By the time Zhu Lexing, through guesswork and confusion, finished her homework, it was already past midnight. The night was dark, the stars faint. She was so sleepy her face was pressed against her homework, wanting to collapse and sleep, but the system said: [Daily tasks have been refreshed. Yan Mian has not yet rested.]
Zhu Lexing: …?
Didn’t they say Omegas were delicate and frail? How are all modern female high school students able to stay up so late!
“What is she doing?”
System: [Wouldn’t the Host know if you went to check?]
Zhu Lexing didn’t understand, Zhu Lexing was deeply shocked.
After some thought, she sadly realized that much of her drowsiness had also been worn away.
Even knowing this was the system’s deliberate ploy, after hesitating for a while, Zhu Lexing still opened the door.
The living room lights were on, and a faint background sound of lecturing could be heard. The sound was very low, likely unnoticeable to Zhu Lexing in the past, but after transmigrating into an Alpha, her five senses were much sharper, able to capture even the slightest sound clearly.
Yan Mian sat in a corner of the sofa, her figure elongated by the night light. She seemed to be waiting for something, but there was no result. In silence, she began to pack her things and slowly went upstairs.
It was only then that Zhu Lexing noticed that Yan Mian walked very lightly, like a cat with a strong sense of boundaries, extremely afraid of encroaching on others’ territory.
Yan Mian lived on the second floor and couldn’t see the light spilling from Zhu Lexing’s room.
As the door closed, Zhu Lexing finally looked up: [You make me listen to this in the middle of the night?]
The system started playing dead. Zhu Lexing lay in bed, thinking left and right, guessing that the only one who could make Yan Mian wait so long was most likely Zhu Lin.
At once, Zhu Lexing couldn’t help but feel sorry for Yan Mian again, overflowing with sympathy. Her thoughts drifted until she fell asleep at dawn.
The moment she was woken by a knock on the door, Zhu Lexing answered her own question—
What’s more suffocating than transmigrating into a scum Alpha?
Having to wake up at six AM for school after transmigrating.
Under the quailing gaze of the servant, Zhu Lexing reluctantly washed up, her eyes still heavy with sleep, every step radiating strong negative energy.
In the living room, an extended dining table was set with a delicate breakfast, but the other side of the table was empty; Yan Mian was not there.
Zhu Lexing finally sobered up a bit. After some inquiries, she learned that Yan Mian had already left.
She had no interest in breakfast and even felt it was a bit wasteful. But this might be daily life for the wealthy, Zhu Lexing couldn’t comment. After much deliberation, she ended up vaguely chewing on a jam sandwich as she got into the car.
The road was smooth, and Zhu Lexing slept the whole way.
In front of Ming Middle School, the school emblem reflected the light. The two stone lions carved were lifelike and extremely imposing.
A long queue formed at the iron gate, all in Ming Middle School uniforms, for appearance checks and late arrivals. Leading them was a long-haired girl, ordinary in appearance. Yan Mian stood beside her. The two knew each other but weren’t close, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Yan Mian was tall, always keeping her jaw tight and her back straight in front of others, like a pure, proud fawn.
Zhu Lexing leaned out of the car, sighing inwardly, What a wonderful female lead.
The next second, Yan Mian’s gaze fell upon her, subconsciously revealing a guarded expression.
Zhu Lexing: “…”
What a wonderful female lead, too bad she met a scumbag.
She raised her hand to open the car door. To fit her persona, Zhu Lexing deliberately slung her backpack loosely and walked casually. She was tall, beautiful, and graceful, making it even harder for people to look away as she slowly walked.
Yan Mian keenly noticed the surrounding people’s breathing pause.
The discovery that Zhu Lexing was popular made Yan Mian feel embarrassed, and she lowered her eyelashes.
Even now, yesterday’s events still felt like a nightmare. Forcing herself not to leave directly, allowing Zhu Lexing to “lose face” in front of others, was already Yan Mian’s greatest tolerance.
Zhu Lexing naturally knew Yan Mian’s aversion to her and shrewdly intended to leave directly. Her gaze swept over the girl beside Yan Mian, and she instinctively curled her lips into a smile.
The girl, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: “Where’s your school ID?”
Zhu Lexing’s smile froze on her lips: “…Well, about that.”
There was no school ID pinned to her shirt, and it couldn’t possibly be in the bag she had turned upside down last night. Zhu Lexing decided to answer honestly.
After all, given the original owner’s status, Zhu Hang wouldn’t say anything even if points were deducted. But then the system interjected: [Please, Host, say the line: “School ID? No!”]
Zhu Lexing: ???
It urged her suddenly. Zhu Lexing was confused and about to ask, but the system said: [Completing the task will earn you ten points.]
…Ten points! Ten days of freedom!
Zhu Lexing immediately showed a disdainful smile: “School ID? No!”
The situation became awkward. The girl who had been snapped at choked, about to speak, when Yan Mian raised her face, her round peach blossom eyes looking directly at Zhu Lexing: “You—”
She was about to say something, but the driver returned at that moment, holding a school ID in his hand, and said awkwardly, “Lexing, you left your school ID in the car.”
In front of outsiders, the original owner wasn’t so high-profile as to be called “Miss” in public.
The system gave no further instructions. Zhu Lexing took the school ID. The driver didn’t leave, his gaze lingering between her and Yan Mian, as if he wanted to caution them about something, but held back.
Yan Mian also lowered her eyes at this point, resuming her role as a beautiful wooden doll.
Zhu Lexing thought the task was over and was happily about to leave when the system spoke again: [Please, Host, make a move that fits your character’s persona, then ask Yan Mian to put on your school ID for you.]
Zhu Lexing: ???
What is this? Flirting in public?
She thought the system wasn’t trying to give her points at all, but rather wanted her to die sooner.
Zhu Lexing opened her mouth to refuse, but the system said: [Task reward: Twenty points.]
Zhu Lexing: [Thirty points.]
In the silence, the system silently conceded.
Thirty days could achieve far more good than bad.
Thinking of this, Zhu Lexing lightly coughed and looked at Yan Mian.
Yan Mian lowered her gaze, her fingertips clenching quietly beneath her sleeve.
But Zhu Lexing didn’t do anything impolite.
Her well-defined knuckles casually tugged at her collar, loosening it and revealing her beautiful collarbone.
The next second, the girl handed over the school ID, raising an eyebrow slightly: “How about… you put it on for me?”
Yan Mian looked up in astonishment, staring at her in disbelief.

Lexing before hearing the task: Even if I starve to death… jump from here… I will never…
Lexing after hearing the reward: It’s giving too much!
