The Frail, Alluring O Always Wants Me to Mark Her (GL) - Chapter 7: 07
All day, Zhu Lexing worried about Yan Mian.
The girl’s schedule was as usual: class, dismissal, meals, rest. Li Nian stayed by her side, and Zhu Lexing didn’t dare to look at Yan Mian too directly, only pouring all her concern for Yan Mian into the system.
After finally getting through the day, as school was about to end, Zhu Hang didn’t leave directly but announced the time for the school anniversary celebration.
Other classes seemed to announce the news at the same time, and clamor filled the entire hallway. But Class 2 remained as quiet as ever; most of the top students were naturally composed, as if only an insignificant matter had been announced.
Zhu Lexing was distracted, still asking the system: [Yan Mian’s health is really okay, right?]
The system, having been asked by her all night, finally couldn’t help but retort: [If the Host doesn’t trust the system, you can ask Yan Mian yourself.]
Zhu Lexing: [If I could communicate directly with Yan Mian, why would I be talking to you?]
System: “…”
But this also gave Zhu Lexing a hint.
Although she couldn’t talk to Yan Mian directly, others could.
For example, the driver, and also the Zhu family’s private doctor. Zhu Lexing had every reason to use Zhu Lin’s name to have the private doctor take Yan Mian for a follow-up check-up at the hospital.
With a goal in mind, Zhu Lexing’s mood brightened considerably.
She finally had the leisure to listen to Zhu Hang’s speech, but just as she settled down, she heard him say: “Then for this event, our class will be jointly organized by students Zhu Lexing and Yan Mian.”
Zhu Lexing: ?
Her and Yan Mian? Organize what??
Zhu Lexing looked up in confusion. Zhu Hang, thinking she was about to cause trouble, hurriedly said, “If you have any questions, you can tell me during the break. Class dismissed.”
Many students immediately left the classroom. Yan Mian got up and followed behind Zhu Hang. Zhu Lexing immediately noticed many unfriendly gazes fixed on her.
Zhu Lexing: “…”
What the hell!
She didn’t want to bother with the system, so she could only ask Song Yingying: “What did he just say?”
Song Yingying was already used to her spacing out and explained, “The school anniversary celebration needs performances. Teacher Zhu wants you and Yan Mian to organize it…”
Zhu Lexing finally understood what Zhu Lin’s gift was.
Working together towards a common goal is an excellent way to strengthen relationships. Plus, rehearsing a performance is practically an excuse to slack off and rest. After such an event, even if their relationship started out ordinary, it could leapfrog into a close friendship.
Zhu Lin had planned well, but he never imagined the original owner had deteriorated to such an extent.
Doing this would only be pushing Yan Mian into a fiery pit.
In the original novel, Yan Mian actively refused to participate in this event, and the original owner also chose to withdraw because she didn’t want to exert effort.
Zhu Lin said he would return, and his purpose was also to watch this performance. But after both of them withdrew, he could only regretfully continue handling trivial matters of the film crew.
Outside the window, Yan Mian’s figure had already disappeared around the corner.
Zhu Lexing knew that this was the first choice she had to make since coming to this world—refusing didn’t mean continuing the past plot. She could also force Zhu Lin to return through coquetry or other means, putting on a show for Yan Mian.
Agreeing meant the unknown, meant infinite possibilities.
If the options only concerned herself, Zhu Lexing would directly choose the latter. After all, if you don’t try, how would you know if the outcome is good or bad?
But Yan Mian was also on this boat. Zhu Lexing pondered for a moment and chose the former, which was easier to control.
After all, the plot was already written in the original novel; she just needed to avoid choices that were detrimental to Yan Mian.
Thinking of this, Zhu Lexing curled her lips.
She had foxy eyes, thin and cold lips, making her exceptionally unapproachable when silent. But when she was in a good mood, and the corners of her eyes and brows curved, she would draw people in like moths to a flame, willing to sacrifice anything.
When the shoulder-length curly-haired girl approached her, this was the scene she witnessed—
Her throat bobbed. She threw her bag to the person behind her. The school ID dangling from the zipper swayed in the breeze, with “Lin Yang” engraved in Song typeface.
“In such a good mood, Lexing?”
Lin Yang blinked her curly eyelashes, her voice soft: “Let me tell you something even happier. Remember Shi Ruofeng? The Omega whose family had trouble. She’s short on cash lately. She’ll be at my brother’s party tonight too.”
She appeared silently. Zhu Lexing was stared at by her with overflowing tenderness, her mind filled only with the words “who are you?”.
But after a series of suggestive hints, Zhu Lexing silently pondered for a few seconds, unable to not remember her—
Every protagonist always has one, two, three, or four infatuated admirers who won’t turn back even after hitting a brick wall.
Lin Yang was one of them.
She was the second daughter of the Lin family, a politically influential family. Born with a silver spoon, she was unruly, habitually acting on her own, self-centered, and extreme. She shared the same basic setting as the original owner, but with an added “love-struck brain” setting.
And she only loved “Zhu Lexing.”
Naturally, she became Zhu Lexing’s loyal follower, and due to “Zhu Lexing’s” innate PUA skills, she was brainwashed into a state of anxiety and extreme insecurity.
Yan Mian’s arrival caused Lin Yang an unprecedented sense of crisis. Fearing being abandoned by “Zhu Lexing,” she began to find new ways, desperately trying to prove her worth to the other party.
In the original work, her first formal appearance was to set up “Zhu Lexing.” Unfortunately, “Zhu Lexing” at that time was only interested in Yan Mian and rejected her. Lin Yang, repeatedly rejected, turned her anger towards Yan Mian, and her resentment continued for months. Everything only stopped when Yan Mian suffered a heart attack, causing her to differentiate early and officially confirm her second gender as Omega.
After recalling the original work, Zhu Lexing was utterly shocked.
Where did this bunch of lunatics come from! Help me!
Even though her internal monologue was deeper than the ocean, Zhu Lexing still had to force herself to endure the awkwardness and deal with Lin Yang. After pondering for a few seconds, she deliberately bypassed Lin Yang with her gaze, her tone cold: “My dad is coming back recently. I’m not sure of the exact time, so it’s not good to go out.”
Bringing up her parents at the drop of a hat, Zhu Lexing herself felt that she was “not playing along.”
But Lin Yang smiled, her lips twitching as if she was about to make excuses for her again. Zhu Lexing could only cut her off beforehand, saying stiffly, “Besides, what’s my status, and what’s Shi Ruofeng’s status—”
“If you’re truly sincere,” Zhu Lexing raised an eyebrow, “have Shi Ruofeng contact me herself.”
To prevent this domineering CEO-style statement from looking too foolish, Zhu Lexing tried her best to maintain a cold expression. But when she spoke the last sentence, she still couldn’t help but awkwardly curl her fingers.
She thought this was just a normal threat, but she forgot that “Zhu Lexing” was a designated Alpha. Even without differentiation, the inherent aura was enough to intimidate ordinary people.
In just a few seconds, the remaining arrogance in Lin Yang’s eyes completely vanished.
She trembled, looking at Zhu Lexing with fear and subtle infatuation, and gently responded, “I, I will.”
Zhu Lexing felt goosebumps all over from being stared at like that, but couldn’t find a reason, so she just said, “Before I contact Shi Ruofeng, don’t let anyone touch her.”
“…”
Lin Yang’s expression finally turned slightly unpleasant for a moment, but only for a moment. She bit her lip and agreed.
Although she didn’t quite understand what this generation’s villains were thinking, achieving her goal was a good thing. Zhu Lexing didn’t want to cause herself trouble and said goodbye to her with a normal expression.
The original owner might have been sick, but she still had the necessary manners.
Zhu Lexing had an excellent appearance and a tall figure; even when she blended into a crowd, she was the most noticeable person. Lin Yang watched her retreating back until she completely disappeared into the sea of people, unable to catch a glimpse, only then feeling the warmth in her heart dissipate for a moment.
A month ago, her predicted differentiation gender was Omega, and now that her differentiation period was approaching, she was gradually able to feel Alpha pheromones, becoming increasingly infatuated with Zhu Lexing.
At most, six months…
Once she differentiated into an Omega, no number of “Shi Ruofengs” would compare to herself.
Lin Yang finally managed to convince herself. She sent the contact information as per Zhu Lexing’s request. When she calmly looked up again, her gaze directly hit Yan Mian’s empty seat.
Lin Yang was startled, suddenly realizing that Yan Mian had never mentioned the result of her predicted differentiation gender.
