CH 19

The first class in the afternoon is P.E. and although the city isn’t extremely hot during this season, it still feels hot when standing directly under the sun at 1-2 in the afternoon. Then the teacher suddenly announced they were running long distance under this hot sun and everyone exploded with complaints. 

“Let’s not do that today teacher. Save it for the next class, the sun is so high in the sky right now….” 

“Yeah, let’s pick a cooler time to run long-distance.” 

“That’s right, that’s right! It’s so hot and you want us to run long-distance. Do you want us to die….”

The physical education teacher is a burly man about 1.8 meters tall. He is in his 40s and has a rather grumpy temper and always acted rather arbitrarily. 

“Shut up! If I say you’re running, then you are running! Now we will test each group separately. Alphas will run 2000 meters, non-differentiated boys 1200 meters, and non-differentiated girls and omegas will run 800 meters! Alphas are up first!” 

“What?!! 2000!!!” Jin Siming’s mouth dropped. 

“What, do you think it’s too little?” The teacher heard her words and gave her a glare. 

Jin Siming quickly shut her mouth and shrank backward. 

“Hurry up. The quicker you finish, the better you’ll feel.” 

After the teacher finished speaking, he led the Alphas towards the running track. 

Jin Siming looked up at the blinding sun and then at the rubber surface of the track completely exposed to the rays of the scorching sun. Her little face wrinkled together in distress. 

She used to be unable to run 800 meters without panting for breath, but now she has to run 2000 meters under the hot sun? Do they want her to die? 

Behind her, Su Xiaohang patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: “You’ll be okay, Ming-bao. Alpha’s physiques are much better than us ordinary people’s. You may even feel unsatisfied after running~” 

Jin Siming took her words as a joke as she rolled her eyes. She took a deep breath and took off her jacket, shoving it into Su Xiaohang’s arms as she took out a hair tie. She quickly tied up her long hair and then walked up to the starting line. 

The moment the whistle sounded, everyone charged forward with all their might. Jn SImng originally just wanted to be able to finish the run safely, but seeing everyone overtake her one by one, a strange feeling arose in her heart. An urge to compete that subconsciously accelerated her running speed. 

It was quite strange. The feeling of running was different from before. When she sprinted forwards, her body felt light and it felt like she was stepping on clouds as her speed kept getting faster and faster. Soon enough, she surpassed the people in front of her and left them behind in the dust. 

In just a few moments, she became the first person to finish the 2000-meter run. Except for feeling slightly out of breath, she didn’t feel tired at all. 

Su Xiaohang was the first to rush over, and placed a bottle of water in her hands as she jumped up excitedly: “Ah, Ming-bao, you are so awesome! Your speed just now was like-swish–like lightning! Lots of people screamed when you passed by, did you hear them?” 

Jin Siming was taken aback by her excitement and let out a simple “Yeah” when she heard her words. She quickly patted her face and asked in concern, “My expression wasn’t too unsightly when I ran, right?” 

“Um….you were running too fast, I couldn’t see your face clearly, only a pair of long legs that raced forward like a horse! Aiya, that’s not the point, the point is that you are so awesome!” 

Su Xiaohong was still in the middle of her excitement when two girls approached them. 

“Classmate Jin is so amazing! Here, drink some water to regain your energy~” 

Jin Siming stared down at the water bottle in the girl’s hand as she held the bottle that Su Xiaohang had just given to her. She wanted to refuse but then raised her eyes and glanced at Yao Jin who was sitting in the crowd not too far away. Her expression changed as she lowered her head to smile at them, “Thanks.” 

“Y-You’re welcome!” 

The two girls were caught up in the spell of her beautiful smile, their hearts sped up as they blushed and they ran away in a hurry. 

Su Xiaohang, who witnessed the whole process, was stunned, “Oh my god, I didn’t see that wrong, did I? You were actually flirting with those little omegas! Ming-bao, when did you change your sexuality??!” 

Jin Siming untied her hair, her long and black beautiful hair pouring down like a waterfall. She gently brushes her hair, her long and fair fingers coming through her messy hair. Paired with her bright red lips, and that already beautiful face, the sight was extraordinarily attractive. Su Xiaohang couldn’t help but swallow dryly, “Stop, stop, stop! Please stop releasing your charms! Even I can’t help but want to take a bite out of you!” 

Jin Siming froze for a moment and then frowned, “What the hell? Why would my charms make you want to bite me? What do you take me for?” 

Su Xiaohang glanced at the omegas sitting next to her who was staring at Jin Siming with a strange light in their eyes. “I’m speaking for those omegas. If even I, someone who hasn’t differentiated yet can’t resist you, then those omegas simply can’t wait to pounce and take a bite out of you.” 

Jin Siming raised the corner of her lips, staring in Yao Jin’s direction as she lowered her eyelashes, “I’ve finally realized that if I must be an Alpha, then so be it. It is time to show off my charm and revive my popularity. I can’t let Yao Jin keep pushing me around all the time.” 

As if she felt her gaze, Yao Jin glanced over at Jin Siming. 

In fact, she has been paying attention to Jin Siming since the beginning of the 2000-meter run. After all, it’s hard not to pay attention when all the girls around her were screaming their heads off. 

Jin Siming has indeed undergone a lot of changes after her differentiation. Although she is still quite naive sometimes and will explode in anger when teased by her.

When she saw that girl give her a bottle of water just now, Yao Jin felt a strange feeling in her heart. After being rivals with Jin Siming for so long, Yao Jin felt like she knew Jin Siming quite well now. 

When she first noticed Jin Siming, it was because some people compared the two when they gossiped. At first, she wanted to befriend Jin Siming but this person turned out to be more difficult to deal with than anyone else. Her usual social skills were completely ineffective against her, and, for some reason, Jin Siming was overly hostile to her all the time. Eventually, she gave up on her idea of making friends with Jin Siming. Besides, she found it to be more interesting to be rivals with Jin Siming than to be friends with her. 

After all, in front of her nemesis, she no longer has to wear her perfect mask and can unleash her bad little temper at will. 

According to her investigation, apart from Su Xiaohang and a few of her friends, Jin Siming’s social circle is very small. Although she was popular among the boys before her differentiation, she didn’t get too close to any of them, and she was public enemy number 1 among the girls and omegas in her class. 

This, however, was all in the past. 

After she differentiated into an Alpha, many things have quietly been changing. 

“Jin-Jin? What are you thinking about? Your face doesn’t look too good.” 

The sentence from the birds beside her made Yao Jin recover from her deep contemplation. She raised her head and suddenly felt a little dizzy. Her legs felt weak and she almost fell to the ground. 

The girl beside her quickly reached out to support her, ‘What the matter? Are you feeling dizzy again? I told you earlier that you should go to the infirmary. Why don’t we ask the teacher if we can leave?” 

The dizziness quickly passed and Yao Jin regained her spirit as she shook her head and smiled gently, “There is no need, I’m feeling better already. Maybe it’s because I didn’t get much rest last night, that’s all.” 

The girl still looked worried. The teacher was already urging them to hurry up so Yao Jin made her way to the track. 

Seeing Yao Jin arrive on the track, many boys gathered around and stood to the side to cheer for her. 

Hearing their exaggerated cheers, Jin Siming pouted. However, Su Xiaohang was also on the track, so in order to support her and give her water after her run, Jin Siming could only stand to the side with the boys. 

The whistle sounded and Jin Siming squatted on the ground in boredom. A burst of screaming erupted beside her and she couldn’t help but glance at the track. 

Unexpectedly, Yao Jin’s speed was much faster than she thought. She is currently in the first position, and far ahead of the others. No wonder the boys standing next to her kept screaming. 

Especially when Yao Jin passed by them. Her steps were steady and light as sheer cherry-red lips were slightly open. Her face did not turn red despite the strenuous exercise, and she still looked as flawless as ever. 

She didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but Yao Jin seemed to have turned toward her and given her a smile when she passed by. 

Immediately a scream that sounded like a pig getting butchered sounded next to her and Jin Siming turned her head in disgust as she clutched her ears. 

“Ahhhh, Yao Jin smiled at me! So beautiful!” 

The boy clutched at his chest, an infatuated look on his face and Jin Siming gave him a speechless look. 

She turned around again, only this time she saw that Yao Jin’s pace seemed to have slowed down a pit. Then, suddenly, the slender figure flattered a few times before she fell on the track field. 

“Ahh—Jin-Jin!!” 

Another scream that sounded like a pig getting butchered sounded next to her, but this time there was a sense of mourning to it.
