CH 9

For most students, the two hardest classes of the day are the first class in the morning and the last class on Friday. 

At this moment, Jin Siming is experiencing the first one. 

She was dizzy with hunger, to the point she felt that her spine would start sticking out. However, she had to pretend she was still listening to her math teacher at the front. His spittle flying as he lectured from the podium. 

The hunger was just too unbearable, so she secretly tore open some snacks she had prepared beforehand and quietly snacked on some. 

She lowered her head many times to look at her watch. Every second felt like years. 

It wasn’t so difficult before, but after her differentiation, her appetite increased significantly. No matter how much she eats during breakfast, it will digest completely by this time. At first, she refused to eat in fear of gaining weight and she wanted to prove that she could restrain herself. But reality soon taught her the harsh truth, and as she couldn’t bear the hunger either, she had completely let the matter go. 

“Ding~Dong-Ding~” 

The bell finally rang and Jin Siming stood up with a squeak of her chair, but then as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly sat back down. She took out a small handheld mirror from under her desk and began to straighten out her hair. 

“Aiya, Ming-bao, stop staring at yourself. Didn’t you say you were hungry? Let’s hurry up and go buy the braised pork from the cafeteria!” Su Xiaohang saw her wasting time looking at herself in the mirror, and hurriedly urged her as she dragged her friend out of the classroom. 

Many students ran in the corridor outside towards the cafeteria and Su Xiaohang wanted to run as well, but Jin Siming forcibly held her back. 

Stop joking, even if Jin Siming is hungry, she is still somewhat well-known at the school so she still has to walk to the cafeteria with dignity!

“Ahhh, Beauty Yao~” 

“Jin-Jin, are you going to the cafeteria?” 

“Yao Jin, you’re going to eat in the cafeteria today?” 

“…..” 

Actually there is one other important reason why she has to walk with dignity and that is because—Yao Jin is walking right behind her!

They have only walked halfway towards the cafeteria and Jin Siming has heard no less than ten people greet Yao Jin. 

Hmph, she’s like some kind of famous courtesan. 

Jin Siming couldn’t help but bitterly insult her in her heart. Perhaps the group of yellow mohawks yesterday are familiar with Yao Jin and blocked her at the gate yesterday because they had impure motives towards her. 

Hah, isn’t she a wild one for being involved with the people from the vocational high school next door!

Jin Siming believed that Yao Jin was the cause of the group of delinquents blocking the gate yesterday. She felt it was not worth taking the risk to help such an unseemly person! 

Meanwhile, Yao Jin greeted and smiled at others easily, as if yesterday’s incident had no impact on her at all. 

A fire flared up in Jin Siming’s heart. 

“Xiaohang, walk faster.” She pulled on Su Xiaohong’s sleeve and quickened her pace. 

“Didn’t you just tell me not to run?” Su Xiaohong pouted. 

“I’m telling you to walk faster, not run!” 

The two noisily walked into the cafeteria and saw a long line in front of the window selling braised pork. 

If they line up now, the pork will be sold out by the time they arrive at the counter. So they instead grabbed a few of the other random dishes and then picked a table to sit down. 

“Wuwu, my braised pork is flying away~ And they only serve it on Mondays and Wednesdays.” Su Xiaohang frowned as she poked at the rice on her plate. 

Seeing her so disappointed, Jin Siming quickly piped up, “You want to eat braised pork that badly? Then I’ll ask Auntie Li to cook a pot of braised pork and I’ll bring it tomorrow. Her cooking is super tasty and definitely not worse than what they serve here.” 

“Really?!” Su Xiaohong shyly placed her hands on her face, “Ming-bao, you talk like a big CEO who is spoiling their little wife. I must say-” 

“Shut up. If you say one more word, then tomorrow’s braised pork event will be canceled.” 

“….Alright, I won’t talk anymore.” Su Xiaohang hurriedly stopped because she was afraid that tomorrow’s braised pork would also fly away (╥_╥)

Jin Siming gave her one more glare, afraid she’ll hear any more disgusting words fly out of Su Xiaohang’s mouth, and then lowered her head to eat her rice while taking out her phone. 

Ever since becoming an alpha, her message notifications have dropped sharply from 99+ to about a dozen. There are even a few alphas in her contacts that have blocked her, but she never replied to them in the first place and she doesn’t really take initiative to text any of them. Without their constant harassment, her phone has actually become really clean. 

However, there was still a sense of discontentment in her heart, especially when she compared herself to Yao Jin who was currently more popular than ever. 

Fortunately, those who she actually got along with did not actively avoid her just because of her differentiation. Such as Senior Lu.

Lu Yi is Jin Siming’s senior by one year and is in his third year of high school. He is an ordinary person who will never differentiate, so he needs to take the traditional college entrance exam before going to university. Currently, his study schedule is pretty busy. 

However, even with the pressure of his studies, he still finds the time to send Jin Siming study resources and patiently give her advice. Unlike those superficial alphas who alienated her, he still contacts her frequently.  

The key point, however, is that Lu Yi is handsome, smart, and has a gentle and sincere personality …. simply the perfect crush in the hearts of all high school girls. 

Before her differentiation, Jin Siming had a good impression of Senior Lu, but now she is an alpha… alas, she and Senior Lu are just not meant to be. 

“Ming-bao, the person in front over there seems to be Senior Lu.” 

Jin Siming abruptly raised her head and sure enough, Lu Yi was walking towards her. 

“Siming, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you in the cafeteria today.” 

Lu Yi greeted her with a smile as he held his tray. His clean white shirt makes his smile especially charming and sunny today. 

“S-Senior Lu?” 

Jin Siming was just thinking about him in her heart, but she never expected they would actually bump into each other within the next second. Her face instantly flushed, “Senior Lu, are you by yourself? Would you like to join us?” 

She moved her tray and pointed to the empty seat next to her. 

“Ah, no need. I have an appointment with someone else. You two should enjoy your meal, I’ll be leaving first. Bye~” 

Lu Yi had just approached to say hello and left just as abruptly, yet that small little interaction made Jin Siming fall into a daze. 

Su Xiaohang bit her chopsticks and stared at Lu Yi’s retreating back before she sighed, “Senior Lu is still so handsome.” 

“Of course, he is a strong competitor for the title of school prince.” 

“It’s a pity that he is an ordinary person that can’t differentiate.” Su Xiaohang showed a regretful look.

“What’s wrong with ordinary people?” Jin Siming frowned, “Majority of the people on this planet are ordinary. Differentiation is not necessarily a good thing.” 

“True, but you know how we’re taking the college entrance exams next year? Ordinary people need to take the national unified college exam in order to enter universities. The competition is fierce among them.” 

“Then do you think that differentiation allows you to sleep every day and enter university without any worries? Even we have to take an aptitude test to evaluate which school we can enter.” Jin Siming ruthlessly showed her the harsh reality of things, “And Senior Lu’s grades have always been excellent so he doesn’t have to worry at all about passing the college entrance exams.” 

“That’s true…. hey, Ming-bao, is the person Senior Lu made an appointment with…. Yao Jin?” 

Su Xiaohang suddenly pointed behind her. 

Jin Siming turned towards that direction and sure enough saw Yao Jin sitting there. 

At this moment, she was sitting face to face with Lu Yi. The two of them seemed to be having a good chat. 

…..

Crack! 

The wooden chopsticks in Jin Siming’s hand broke in two. 

“Tsk, the quality of the school’s chopsticks is so bad. I’m going to grab another pair.” 

Jin Siming smiled thinly, ignoring the shocked look on Su Xiaohang’s face, and went to grab herself another pair of chopsticks. 

Yao Jin, oh Yao Jin. You already have a whole pond of fish to choose from. You can do whatever you want to them, but Senior Lu is the most gentle, pure, and kind person. He is different from the rest of them. You better let him go, or else….

Crack! 

Another pair of chopsticks broke in Jin Siming’s hand.
