Transmigrated as the Vampire Alpha of the Omega Heroine (GL , ABO) - Chapter 2

Jiang Nian was used to arriving at school very early. At this hour, the hallway in Class B was completely empty. The breakfast stalls outside the school were only just being set up. No one was watching her or whispering behind her back.

She walked into the classroom of Class 3, Year 2. With a calm expression, she went straight to the trash bin at the back of the classroom and pulled out a few worn-out textbooks. Then she returned to her seat and sat down as if nothing had happened.

“Xiaoyao You. In the Northern Sea, there is a fish, and its name is Kun. The size of Kun is so vast that no one knows how many thousands of miles it stretches.”

With over an hour of extra study time every morning and a much more serious attitude toward learning than most students, Jiang Nian still ended up being labeled a bad student by the teachers. She never submitted her homework, and sometimes even her test papers were so damaged that the text could barely be read.

Students gradually entered the school grounds, one by one. Soon, every classroom was filled, and the early reading session officially began. But unlike usual, the homeroom teacher of Class 3, Year 2, was not present to supervise.

She was busy with matters regarding a new transfer student. Gu Li followed behind her, carrying freshly issued textbooks and newly distributed uniforms for both summer and winter. The original host had withdrawn from a prestigious private school due to health issues. Gu Li then asked the family butler to arrange her transfer into Class B to get closer to Jiang Nian.

The first class of the day was homeroom. The teacher walked into the classroom with Gu Li.

“Class, today we have a new student joining us. I hope everyone will welcome her and get along well.” The teacher clapped her hands for attention, then turned to Gu Li, signaling her to introduce herself.

Gu Li’s eyes swept across the room. Once she spotted Jiang Nian, she gave a small smile.

“Hello everyone. My name is Gu Li.”

She was beautiful and carried herself with grace. Her first impression on others was naturally very good.

“Gu Li, you can sit here,” the teacher said with a smile, pointing to an empty seat in the front row. Several students who had been sitting alone looked disappointed that they weren’t chosen to sit with her.

Jiang Nian, sitting in the back, watched her smile as she took her seat next to Zhang Nan. Her heart turned cold.

She had become her classmate and was now sitting beside Zhang Nan.

The wound on her hand had only just started to heal, but she clenched her fists tightly, ignoring the pain of her nails digging into her skin.

Gu Li placed her books and uniforms on the side desk, nodded politely to her new deskmate, and sat down. Since she was already in the same classroom as Jiang Nian, there was no need to force herself to sit beside her right away.

There were still two months before her next susceptibility period. She needed to use this time to rebuild her relationship with Jiang Nian and try her best to ease her current difficulties.

“Hi Gu Li, I’m Zhang Nan,” said her new seatmate in a soft and gentle voice, typical of an omega. She reached out her hand kindly.

But when Gu Li heard the name Zhang Nan, her expression shifted slightly. Her frown was so subtle that Zhang Nan didn’t notice.

“Nice to meet you.” Gu Li lightly shook her hand and quickly pulled back. She then looked down and began organizing her textbooks, locking away what she didn’t need in the drawer. The teacher had already begun the lesson, so she opened her Chinese textbook and focused on following the lecture.

In her previous life, Gu Li was diagnosed with a bl00d disorder at the age of twenty-two. That was when she had just started working. Many working adults often look back on their student days with nostalgia. She was no different. Now that she had the chance to sit in a high school classroom again and relive those youthful moments, she cherished it deeply.

Zhang Nan quietly observed her new seatmate for a while. Gu Li had a suppression patch on the back of her neck, marking her as an alpha. Such a beautiful alpha made Zhang Nan’s heart stir. Since Gu Li hadn’t said much, Zhang Nan tried to find a topic to start a conversation.

“Gu Li, since you’re new here, you must be curious about our class. There’s someone really famous here. She sits all the way in the back. Her name is Jiang Nian. Her dad killed someone.”

Her tone was practiced, as though she had repeated the story many times. Every pause and word was carefully chosen for effect.

Her father had accidentally killed someone. That home, already barely holding together, finally collapsed. When Jiang Nian heard the news, her hands and feet went ice cold. She stood in the school’s security office, listening to her grandmother cry on the phone. The world around her turned dark. Thankfully, her best friend Zhang Nan had stood beside her, quietly offering comfort.

After returning to school, Jiang Nian quickly noticed that something had changed. People looked at her differently. One day, a class troublemaker even shouted in front of everyone, “Jiang Nian, your dad’s a murderer, right?”

Her best friend.

Gu Li looked at Zhang Nan silently. Her gaze was cold, piercing enough to make Zhang Nan shrink back a little. Trying to shift the mood, Zhang Nan turned another page in her Chinese textbook and added the teacher’s notes from the lesson. She finally said, “Zhang Nan, we should focus on class right now.”

“Class dismissed. Language class monitor, please collect the essays I assigned yesterday,” the teacher said, then picked up her books and left the room.

As Gu Li set down her pen, Zhang Nan resumed the conversation.

“Her dad really looked scary. He had that look, like someone who could kill. I didn’t know back then and even visited her house once. Thinking about it now, it gives me chills.”

Gu Li closed her book and turned to face her.

“Zhang Nan,” she said calmly. She pushed Zhang Nan’s books back toward her. “I don’t want to hear this.”

From where she sat, Jiang Nian could only see the two of them talking closely. It looked too friendly. Zhang Nan even glanced at her every now and then.

They were definitely talking about that. About him.

Without thinking, Jiang Nian stood up. The wound on her knee still hadn’t fully healed, and she limped as she slowly made her way toward Gu Li.

Zhang Nan, startled by Gu Li’s cold words, looked up and saw Jiang Nian approaching.

Gu Li had already sensed something or maybe it wasn’t her hearing or sight, but her sense of smell that caught it first. That rich, metallic scent of bl00d was getting stronger and stronger. It was not just any bl00d. It was the exact same scent she had smelled yesterday when she encountered Jiang Nian. It awakened something deep inside her.

She instinctively wanted to cover her nose.

Gu Li turned her head just as Jiang Nian reached her. Jiang Nian raised her hand, about to touch her shoulder. The scent of bl00d was overwhelming now, far stronger than it had been yesterday.

Gu Li had to use every bit of willpower to resist the urge to pounce on her and sink her teeth into Jiang Nian’s pale neck.

Gu Li’s reaction was far too obvious.
She quickly pushed Jiang Nian away and ran straight out of the classroom. The push wasn’t forceful, but it hurt Jiang Nian deeply.

In that moment, she thought to herself:
She really does hate me now.

Zhang Nan didn’t understand why Gu Li had reacted that way. But no matter the reason, it was clear that she didn’t like Jiang Nian. With her arms crossed and a smug expression, Zhang Nan stared at Jiang Nian, who was still frozen in the position she had been pushed into, looking completely stunned and broken.

Then, the next second, Zhang Nan’s eyes stopped on Jiang Nian’s school trousers.

“Jiang Nian, your period leaked.”
She said it loudly on purpose so that everyone nearby could hear her. A dark patch had spread on Jiang Nian’s light blue school pants. When she reached back to touch it, she realized that a large area had soaked through. The summer uniform was made of thin fabric, and it had already spread wide.

She had been so focused on watching Zhang Nan and whether she was talking to Gu Li that she hadn’t even noticed her period had started.

Girls who had not yet gone through secondary gender differentiation still had their menstrual cycles. Now, the sticky feeling behind her, mixed with the sharp stares of the people around her, made Jiang Nian’s whole body burn with shame. She stood frozen for a moment before limping toward the bathroom.

Far away, Gu Li had finally stopped running. She was gasping for breath, her heart pounding so violently it felt like it might burst.

She was so thirsty and so hungry. She wanted to bite her.
That thought completely filled her mind. The urge was so intense that she didn’t even have time to put on a mask. She licked her lips, feeling the tips of her sharp canine teeth. Frustrated, she crouched down on the ground.

A monster.
That’s what she thought of herself.

By the time Gu Li returned to the classroom, the next period had already started. She stood quietly at the back door and glanced at Jiang Nian’s seat. It was in the last row, standing alone and empty.

What was that thick, strong scent of bl00d she had smelled earlier?

Then she noticed the vivid red stain left on Jiang Nian’s chair.

In the girls’ Beta bathroom, the door was slightly ajar. Inside, a thin girl was dipping her fingers in water, trying to gently scrub away the red stains on her pants. The fabric was soaked, and each rinse only managed to lighten the color slightly. Cold water streamed down between her legs, trickling slowly and seeping into the fabric bit by bit.

Gu Li stood a bit farther away, wearing a mask this time. She took a deep breath through it, held it in, and quickly walked up to the door. She placed a small bag on the ground and gently knocked on the door before running away.

Startled by the sound, Jiang Nian froze. She turned her back toward the door, trying to hide the large, wet area on her pants. But the door never opened. No one came in.

Cautiously, she stepped over to check. Outside the door, she found a plastic bag. Inside were sanitary pads and tissues, neatly folded on top of a brand-new pair of school uniform trousers. There was no one in sight.

Who could it be?

Jiang Nian stood there clutching the new pants and the sanitary pads. Who else could have an extra pair of clean school trousers to lend her? It could only be the new transfer student, Gu Li.

She had treated her wound, brought her sanitary pads, and even lent her a pair of her own new school trousers. Yet, when Jiang Nian tried to touch her, she reacted so strongly, as if she couldn’t stand being near her.

When Jiang Nian returned to class after changing, Gu Li was already seated in the front row, listening attentively to the lecture. The trousers Gu Li had given her were longer than her original ones, so she rolled up the cuffs. The bloodstains were still on her own seat. She took out some extra tissues and carefully wiped it clean before daring to sit down.

She reminded herself quietly,
I should thank her. But I’ll try not to touch her.

She kept her head down, repeating those words over and over in her heart.

Back at her desk, her essay notebook had been thrown back into her drawer, its pages crumpled and torn. On the cover, where her name “Jiang Nian” had once been neatly written, someone had scribbled over it in red pen and replaced it with:

“Murderer’s daughter.”

Her eyes burned. Everything in front of her became blurry. She blinked hard several times, but this time, she couldn’t hold the tears back.
