Ji Xinglan was a famous person in their school. When Sun Mang, the homeroom teacher, saw how diligent he was (because he was willing to still come to their class for lessons even though he had already finished all his classes in military school), she was very willing to let him join the class.
When Ji Xinglan mentioned that he wanted to sit together with Yan Qiu, his distant cousin, she agreed without even thinking about it.
Sun Mang brought Yan Qiu to the corridor to talk to him early that morning.
She first displayed concern for Yan Qiu’s studies before gradually and tactfully bringing about the main topic of her discussion with him: she wanted Ji Xinglan to sit with him so that he could help him with his studies.
When he heard her say those words, Yan Qiu didn’t need to even think deeply. He knew that this was Ji Xinglan’s doing.
Yan Qiu had finally obtained some freedom. Now, he was supposed to sit with Ji Xinglan? He was absolutely unwilling.
It was already enough that Ji Xinglan kept tormenting him at home. Who knew whether Ji Xinglan would cause mischief in public?
Yan Qiu immediately said, “I’m an omega and he’s an alpha. It’s not suitable for us to sit together.” With that excuse, he refused Sun Mang’s request.
However, Sun Mang had been a homeroom teacher for twenty years. Clearly, she wasn’t someone easy to deal with. She pushed her glasses and said something that immediately struck the weak point in his argument.
“Then, is it suitable for you to sit together with Xie Yu? I’ve been paying attention to both of you for a long time. You keep whispering together in class, and you sneak around together after class. Are you the two of you dating?”
When Yan Qiu heard this, he nearly fainted. Why was Sun Mang’s thought process the same as Ji Xinglan’s?
Dating?
Him and Xie Yu?!
When he saw how Yan Qiu’s face turned red before it turned pale, Sun Mang’s tone became gentle. She said sincerely and gravelly, “Don’t think too much about it. Ji Xinglan is your cousin. It’s fine even if you sit together. He’s a top student from military school. He can even help you in your studies. Learn from him. You’ll definitely learn much more if you sit with him compared to you sitting together with Xie Yu. You two just keep sleeping and drooling in class.”
But it was not convenient for Yan Qiu to tell Sun Mang that Ji Xinglan wasn’t his cousin, rather, his child’s father. He could only seethe in anger in his heart.
‘Ji Xinglan, you cunning bastard!’ How could he use such a despicable and shameless method to separate him and his best friend?!
Before the first class in the morning, Ji Xinglan followed behind Sun Mang and appeared at the entrance of the classroom.
In an instant, the whole class looked up and stared at him. Some of the nosey students from the class next door were even peeking in through their windows.
Ji Xinglan was used to being stared at, so he was completely immune to this action. He had his bag casually slung over a shoulder, and he entered through the door.
He wasn’t dressed in military uniform today. Even so, he looked good dressed in casual wear. In fact, he finally looked like a student like this.

When he watched Ji Xinglan enter, Yan Qiu suddenly remembered the high school idol drama Bai Yuanyuan recommended two days ago. He felt that the male lead wasn’t nearly as elegant as Ji Xinglan.

Ji Xinglan was already used to handling all sorts of situations, so he went along with Sun Mang’s wishes and uttered a few complimentary sentences.
While he spoke, Yan Qiu returned to his seat and began packing up without a single word.
Xie Yu watched him pack and drew close to him curiously to ask, “What did Mango say to you?”
Yan Qiu stuffed the items in his table into his bag. “She wants me to be deskmates with Ji Xinglan.”
Xie Yu frowned. “What? Why?”
“Because…” Yan Qiu did not know what sort of reason he should use, so he decided to repeat Sun Mang’s words. “Because I’m his cousin.”
“……”
Xie Yu was stunned. Before he could say anything, Bai Yuanyuan had already turned her head around swiftly. With an exaggerated expression, she grabbed Yan Qiu’s sleeve and asked, “Are you seriously Ji Xinglan’s cousin?!”
Since she shouted, almost the entire class heard her. They turned their heads around to look at them. Yan Qiu could only nod dumbly.
Bai Yuanyuan became incredibly excited. “AAAAAHHHH WHY DIDN’T YOU MENTION IT EARLIER?!”
Yan Qiu fell silent for a moment before he said, “I wanted to keep a low profile.”
Bai Yuanyuan was so excited that her cheeks turned red. “It’s no wonder why he wanted you to perform that demonstration with him on the stage last time! It’s definitely because he doesn’t want to bother strangers! Ji Xinglan is too gentlemanly!”
“……”
‘Gentleman? Gentleman, my foot. He’s more like a pervert.’
Once Bai Yuanyuan’s excitement died away, she turned around to reapply her foundation while facing the mirror. It was only then that Xie Yu found a chance to ask Yan Qiu a whispered question, “Boss, what’s going on? Is Ji Xinglan causing you trouble?”
Yan Qiu whispered, “That’s not it. I think it’s because Xiao Qiu has some sort of relationship with Ji Xinglan.”
Xie Yu was not familiar with Xiao Qiu, so he could only believe in this statement for the time being. He comforted Yan Qiu by saying, “Honestly, this is pretty good too. At least, Ji Xinglan definitely won’t cause you trouble because of this, right?”
Yan Qiu chuckled.
‘One could only hope.’
Ji Xinglan sat down in the seat assigned to him by Sun Mang. Sun Mang cast Yan Qiu a glance and sent him a signal.
Yan Qiu immediately understood what was going on. Since class had yet to begin, he stood up and moved his desk silently.
Before he moved his desk, Yan Qiu quietly sent Ji Xinglan a message through his terminal. He threatened Ji Xinglan with the only capital he had. [Don’t you dare reveal our relationship, or else, tomorrow, I’ll throw your baby away.]
Ji Xinglan leaned against the chair and played with the terminal. He replied to him almost instantly, [If you have the guts to do that, I’ll make you bear a few more of my children.]
When Yan Qiu moved his table, Chen Gou immediately came over with a smile, wanting to help him move the desk. But this time, before Yan Qiu could reject it, someone snatched Yan Qiu’s table before him.
Ji Xinglan pushed his table next to his seat. Then, while retaining his image as the prideful and cool school idol, he quietly returned to his seat to resume doing his exercises.
Yan Qiu was quite desperate for Ji Xinglan to not talk to him. He brought out his books from his bag and cast Xie Yu, who was far away from him, a glance.
Xie Yu had been shifted to another far away corner. Because of this, Yan Qiu was forced to split with his best friend. The freedom he had just received for a week was gone, just like that.
After taking into consideration the problem of Ji Xinglan’s height, Sun Mang placed them at the last row, next to the window and the backdoor. Xie Yu was positioned at the end of the group near the window at the other side of the classroom. There was practically the entire distance of a classroom between them.
Ji Xinglan was finally satisfied when he saw that Yan Qiu and Xie Yu were sitting far apart from each other.
Two beta boys sat in front of them. They were usually marginalized people who were very quiet in the class, and they didn’t really care about the rumors involving the school idol. They only cared about doing their work.
During class, despite the fact that there was always someone who would stare at them curiously, fortunately, everyone retained their relative politeness, and no one came to bother them.
Yan Qiu sat beside Ji Xinglan and brought out some books from his bag while he spoke softly at a volume that only the two of them could hear. He asked Ji Xinglan, “So, why exactly did you insist on sitting next to me?”
Ji Xinglan had one hand against his head. He looked at Yan Qiu calmly. “If you don’t sit with me, who are you going to sit with? Xie Yu?”
As he spoke, he glared at Xie Yu. It was as if he wanted to cut him up.
‘He’s being jealous again.’
Yan Qiu looked in his direction, and he felt that Xie Yu must be psychic. Whenever Ji Xinglan glared at Xie Yu, he would scratch the back of his neck in slight discomfort.
Yan Qiu cast Xie Yu a pitiful look. He felt that his life was too tragic. He was targeted by Ji Xinglan because of Yan Qiu. Yan Qiu didn’t want to drag the innocent into this, so he could only come to terms with this.
“Then let’s make an agreement. We can pretend to be cousins, but don’t reveal anything else about us.”
Ji Xinglan nodded and agreed readily, “Sure. Call me big brother.”
“……”
Some person who loved causing trouble made a post. Ji Xinglan had entered the classroom for a mere half an hour before this news had already spread through the entire school forum.
After the first class ended, the girls in the classrooms next door all used the excuse of going to the toilet or refilling their bottles to look at Ji Xinglan while they passed by the window.
While Yan Qiu had his head bent to do his exercises, he suddenly saw a fair hand reach out through the window, and a pink love letter was thrown on his table with a thud.
The pink and delicate letter landed on his table, and the sweet aroma of an omega still remained on it.
In an instant, Yan Qiu’s heart started thundering.
Through the corner of his eyes, he saw a long-haired female omega who moved past the door.
The girl might not be the type of girl he liked, but this was enough to prove his charms as a boy. Yan Qiu couldn’t help but feel his lips curl up.
But before he could open the letter to read the first love letter he received over the past half a year, Ji Xinglan noticed it.
He said coldly, “Give it here.”
“No.” Yan Qiu immediately became guarded.
He put his hands behind his back, and Ji Xinglan stared at Yan Qiu for a moment.
“I’ll give you three seconds. Three, two, one.”
Three seconds later, he sensed Ji Xinglan’s pheromones pressing down on him, Yan Qiu could only hand over the love letter reluctantly but obediently.
Ji Xinglan opened the letter expressionlessly. With just one glance, he suddenly smiled.
Yan Qiu could not help but look at it. Then, he noticed that Ji Xinglan’s name was written on the letter.
So, the letter was for Ji Xinglan.
So, the girl was not confessing to him. Yan Qiu grit his teeth in anger and stopped making a sound.
When the umpteenth person tossed chocolate and a letter through the window, Yan Qiu was finally unable to hold back from standing up and locking the window. He even drew the curtains before he shut the back door.
When the bell for the second class rang, the students who were peeking about in the corridor finally left.
Then, when it was time for language class, Yan Qiu felt Ji Xinglan stare at him. Thus, he pretended to be studying seriously and started doodling in his notebook.
The language teacher was an old man. He had a pair of reading glasses on, and he wore a long-sleeved, navy blue shirt. He looked like a storyteller who gave off an elegant air. Whenever he spoke, he was always very particular with his words.
Very quickly, Yan Qiu became tired. He laid on the table and started dozing off. Suddenly, he felt something touch his abdomen.
Yan Qiu silently looked down, and he saw Ji Xinglan’s hand.
Yan Qiu was puzzled. He didn’t understand why Ji Xinglan decided to move his daily activity of touching his belly to the morning, but he was worried that the teacher would notice it, so he didn’t dare move.
Because the language teacher was far-sighted, he had no problems seeing into the distance. That was why he was able to see the actions of the two students near the door at the very last row.
This language teacher had only begun teaching them this semester, so he was unable to attach most of the names of the students to their faces yet. When he saw those two people acting sneakily, he raised his voice and asked, “Those two at the back, what are you doing?”
Yan Qiu was so shocked that he shuddered. He raised his head to look at the teacher. In an instant, all the other students in the classroom turned their heads to look at them.
And one of Ji Xinglan’s hand was placed right at the center of his abdomen…
Mogumoguchan: Seriously though, I can’t believe that Ji Xinglan would have thought the female omega would have sent that letter to Yan Qiu.
Ji Xinglan annoys the hell out of me.
thanks for the chapter <3
HAHA how are they gonna explain themselves 😂 Thank you for translating this chapter! Always looking forward to Sundays when a new chapter is realeased ☺
Fr doe, when i saw that he wanted to sit next to yan qiu I was kinda annoyed lmao. The fact that he also has the audacity of seperating yan qiu and his best friend also irritates me 🗿
He irritates me too. He needs to suffer a bit. I know he suffered when YQ died, but now he’s just making YQ suffer.
That’s how the novels with Tsundere MCs are. If the MLS stop following them around they won’t realize until he gets married that they(MC) like him.
Besides I don’t think he’s annoying to Yan Qiu. He just doesn’t like admitting that.
He’s one of the least yandere MLs I’ve read about so, I feel he’s pretty cute.
Hahahahahha
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
🙈
Thank you for the chapter ❤
How are they gonna get out of this one, I wonder… 😬
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
Thanks for your hard work!
😑, I know I want them together in the end, but I really want JXL to suffer and for poor Yan Qiu to have his freedom.
ji xinglan is so annoying oh my god
thanks for the chapter
hahaha everyone else in the comments section hates him too 😂
Teacher, he’s on his period. His abdomen is hurting so I was trying to alleviate the pain by massaging it. It’s hurting so much he can’t even move, that’s why he looks like a shrimp in that position. I’m his cousin, so it’s my responsibility to look after him. Don’t mind us 🙂
I don’t have a problem with him not wanting to be with JXL, but come on! He got a second chance at life! Something practically no one does, yet he intends to just waste it away knowing full well he has no prospects?? I just can’t grasp the reasoning behind it. If he’s just one of those people content with being a bum, then the author should’ve made that clear. I keep feeling like a parent with high hopes for their child when he makes his big statements but only end up seeing them crash and burn… He really deserves to be in the 1 brain cell club….
But JXLs character I can cope with, as cringey as he gets at times because there’s all this that can be deduced or has been made known. But I feel like there has been too many inconsistencies with MC by the author so I don’t really know about him as a person. We know he is narcissistic, an orphan, failed at school, was a sorta-kinda-Alpha, started a war against JXL for something he obviously had no part in, loved to pick fights but only with other bullies because they’re kind to old ladies, afraid of heights, supposedly a ‘straight alpha’ (this is first I’m even hearing that term and I’ve read a lot of ABO content) but seems kinda bent for his best friend… But what else?
Bruh idk how they’re going to get out of this one. Say that his tummy was hurting or sum
Nah. I’m amazed at how YQ thought omega likes him when he is an omega himself.. really, bro should start accepting the fact that he is now an omega.. sincerely accept the fact.
Idk…is that how someone would act towards a reborn lover?he is not that sensitive and emotional towards him even though he was being suicidal lol
