Chapter 63: The Omega Abandoned After a One-Night Stand (20)
The door to the infirmary was closed, and even the curtains were drawn halfway, blocking the sunlight.
But the figure in the royal blue sweater, sitting on one of the narrow nursing beds, was still nervous. Her fingertips clutched the sheet, her face flushed even though nothing had happened yet. Especially when she saw the person in the white coat approaching, she couldn’t help but whisper: “Can’t we just use a suppression collar?”
The students who had crowded the infirmary earlier had all been driven back by the class bell. The one or two who still wanted to feign illness were scared off by the injection needle Su Mingxiu took out.
Between pain and a beautiful woman, they wisely chose to save their lives and come back for admiration during the next break.
Therefore, only Chu Ruan, who genuinely needed help, remained in the infirmary.
But she only wanted to frequently replace her suppression products, not to be soothed by Su Mingxiu’s pheromones. This Alpha always appeared gentle and agreeable on the surface, practically promising to be gentle with a written guarantee. But once the Omega’s gland was between her teeth, it was entirely up to her when to let go and how much force to use.
Remembering the pain, Chu Ruan whispered, “I still have class later.”
This was her way of asking Su Mingxiu to be gentle.
Su Mingxiu, recalling how long it took the Omega to recover each time after biting her nape, looked at the person sitting on the edge of the nursing bed with her alluring eyes. She chuckled softly and walked towards her, tilting Chu Ruan’s head up, her gaze meeting those clear eyes. “Honestly, which hurts more, my bite or the suppressant injection?”
“Uh…” Chu Ruan recalled the night she was taken back to Su Mingxiu’s place from the hospital three years ago.
Perhaps because she had no expectations of this Alpha back then, and she had no one to rely on,
She had endured everything silently. Even the suppressant injection felt tolerable.
But now, having developed a dependence on this person, she couldn’t even bear a little pain.
She had shed more tears since reuniting with Su Mingxiu than she had in the entire previous year.
Seeing the Omega’s silence, Su Mingxiu lowered her head and pecked her lips, urging: “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
A knowing smile appeared in the Alpha’s eyes. Her kiss moved from Chu Ruan’s lips downwards, her hot breath washing over her, accompanied by a playful tease: “You don’t want me to fully mark you, but you also want me to bite gently. Ruanruan, aren’t you a bit too demanding?”
Actually, it wasn’t that Su Mingxiu insisted on bullying her.
It was just that after being marked by an Alpha’s pheromones, an Omega’s pheromones would become more volatile, and the suppression collar wouldn’t be as effective as before.
Therefore, in Alpha-Omega marriages, the Federation prioritized protecting the Omega’s interests.
Alphas could easily replace their marked wives. Some even had multiple Omega partners without any consequences for their own bodies.
But for Omegas, they could only be marked by one type of pheromones. Even with the advancement of technology, removing a mark or even surgically removing the gland would greatly weaken the Omega.
Their health often deteriorated afterwards.
Hearing Su Mingxiu’s words, Chu Ruan, who had been too embarrassed to look up, suddenly reached up and wrapped her arms around Su Mingxiu’s neck, tilting her chin up as she mumbled in protest: “I’m not demanding.”
She was actually very easy to coax.
As long as Su Mingxiu said a few sweet words, she would always be appeased immediately.
Su Mingxiu’s nose buried itself in the high collar of the royal blue sweater, brushing against the bandage. After a while, she raised her hand and pressed down on Chu Ruan’s nape, peeling off the bandage, revealing the newly healed skin, a delicate, pinkish hue.
After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Ruanruan, how about we just do a full marking?”
An Omega’s reproductive cavity was more sensitive than their external gland. But the amount of pheromones needed for conception was enormous. Compared to biting the gland on the nape and injecting Alpha pheromones, this method was actually more effective.
Hearing Su Mingxiu say such suggestive things in such a serious tone, Chu Ruan was stunned at first. Then, realizing where and when they were, she immediately tried to push Su Mingxiu’s shoulder away. “Not now!”
“Oh?”
Su Mingxiu coaxed her: “Then when?”
“Uh…” Chu Ruan hesitated, letting out a soft, almost inaudible sound. But Su Mingxiu pretended not to hear, her nose brushing against the Omega’s sensitive gland, her breath tickling her skin. “What? Speak louder.”
“Tonight!”
Chu Ruan, pushed to her limit, actually used the same volume she used to answer teachers’ questions back in school.
Then, she felt the chest she was leaning against tremble slightly. It was Su Mingxiu laughing at her. Embarrassed and angry, Chu Ruan wanted to hit her shoulder, but Su Mingxiu anticipated her move and caught her hands. The next moment, her canine teeth sank into the gland on Chu Ruan’s nape—
“Ugh…”
The Omega, expecting another wave of pain, raised her neck, a soft sound escaping her pale pink lips.
But the pain was fleeting, like an ant bite. Instead, the injection of Alpha pheromones was more intense.
So the sound that had escaped her lips didn’t rise in pitch. Instead, it was drawn out, turning from a cry of pain into a soft moan.
Su Mingxiu closed her eyes, trying to suppress her instincts. As she released Chu Ruan, she stroked her head and said in a strained voice: “It’s too early to make such beautiful sounds.”
“Ah!” Chu Ruan opened her watery eyes and swatted Su Mingxiu’s hand in annoyance. Then, realizing she might have used too much force, she grabbed Su Mingxiu’s hand and rubbed it apologetically.
The Alpha let her appease her, remembering this debt and planning to settle it with her tonight.

The story of Su Mingxiu becoming a regular school doctor at Jingui High School quickly spread.
Chu Residence.
Chu Huanzhi followed closely behind her mother, hearing her hum as she prepared pastries. She said with a hint of anger: “You always told me to be patient, and I listened to you. The plan failed last time, and I didn’t lower myself to approach Su Mingxiu. But now, that Chu Ruan has hooked her back. If I don’t act now, I won’t even get a chance to try.”
The woman who had just put the pastries in the oven turned around and looked at her daughter. “Do you know why I told you not to go to the hospital when Chu Ruan was injured three years ago?”
Chu Huanzhi thought for a moment and shook her head.
“Because she had someone send me a picture of the suppression collar you gave to Chu Ruan.”
Her mother said with a smile.
Smart people didn’t need many words, they could understand each other with just a hint. From that moment on, Chu Huanzhi’s mother realized that sometimes, just one wrong move could cost them everything.
If the Chu family still wanted to ride the coattails of the Su family, Chu Ruan was the only link they could use, and they couldn’t afford to replace her.
Three years was enough to change many things.
But as soon as Su Mingxiu returned to this city, she had re-entered Chu Ruan’s life. It was clear that this Alpha had never considered anyone else and had never lost interest in Chu Ruan.
Acting on their own now would only bring humiliation.
Seeing the obsession in her daughter’s eyes, she sighed. “Find someone else, Zhizhi. She’s not someone you can have.”
“I haven’t even tried, how do you know it won’t work?”
Chu Huanzhi shook her head stubbornly, her gaze meeting her mother’s.
The orange light of the oven was still on. The mistress of the Chu family took off her heat-resistant gloves and said casually: “Then go try it.”
Children always needed to stumble and fall to learn and grow.
After Chu Huanzhi left, she called the housekeeper. “Have someone keep an eye on her. If she provokes the Su family, remember to prepare some calming aromatherapy for her at night, so she doesn’t cry herself to sleep.”
After a pause, she added: “Also, inquire about the preferences of the head of Future Biology and prepare a gift.”
This way, even if her daughter caused trouble, once the gift was delivered, the Su family would know that it was just a childish rivalry, not the Chu family’s intention.

Jingui High School was planning to hold an autumn sports meet this week.
It was a time for relaxation amidst their heavy studies, so the students were all very excited. Many signed up for various events, from long-distance running to sprinting, high jump to tug-of-war.
Marching music played through the school’s loudspeakers for a long time. Thankfully, the school was built on reclaimed land, with no residential areas nearby, so they didn’t have to worry about noise complaints and could fully embrace the lively atmosphere.
For the teachers, the sports meet was also a time for them to relax. Thinking about the overtime work she had been doing recently, Su Mingxiu specifically invited Chu Ruan out for dinner on the day of the sports meet. But somehow, Su Xinyan found out and sent Su Mingxiu a few crying emojis during break.
“Auntie, it’s not just Teacher Chu who’s suffering from the cafeteria food, but also your cute little niece.”
“Can I be a light bulb? The energy-saving, environmentally friendly kind, the type that can be turned off with voice control.”
Su Mingxiu: “Ask Teacher Chu, if she agrees, it’s fine.”
Chu Ruan naturally had no objections.
After all, she also liked Su Xinyan. The student was smart, hardworking, and sensible. Even though she knew about Chu Ruan’s relationship with Su Mingxiu, she had never revealed it to anyone, creating a very comfortable working environment for her.
So, at noon that day, after praising her students for their efforts in winning glory for their class, Chu Ruan headed towards the empty parking lot behind the school.
Su Mingxiu arrived even earlier than her.
But she wasn’t alone.
Seeing the other person, Chu Ruan couldn’t help but pause. Su Mingxiu had a calm expression, her head lowered as she was dealing with messages on her phone. Hearing Chu Ruan’s footsteps, she looked up, a bright smile appearing in her alluring eyes.
“You came just in time—”
…
“Someone claiming to be your relative is here to see you.”
Chu Ruan approached, her gaze indifferent as she looked at Chu Huanzhi. This cousin of hers always loved to dress up.
But today, she was even more meticulously dressed than usual, especially her makeup. She had gone for a natural look, with warm-toned blush and eyeshadow, highlighting her best features.
“I’ve already cut ties with the Chu family,” she said softly, looking away. “I have no relatives.”
Chu Huanzhi knew that Chu Ruan had guessed her involvement in the incident three years ago. But she pretended to be oblivious and reached out to hold Chu Ruan’s hand with a feigned sadness.
“Sister Ruanruan, you haven’t been home for a while, Auntie misses you very much. She specifically asked me to bring you a gift.”
“Are you going out for lunch? I’m a bit hungry too, why don’t we go together?”
Both Chu Ruan and Su Mingxiu just looked at her, neither of them speaking. A voice suddenly came from not far away: “No!”
They all turned towards the source of the voice and saw Su Xinyan walking towards them. The white school uniform looked youthful and energetic on the little girl. Somehow, she had already guessed the newcomer’s identity from afar.
“This is a Su family dinner, only family members are allowed, no outsiders.”
The words “Su family” made Chu Ruan’s ears turn slightly red.
But Chu Huanzhi didn’t look at the speaker. Instead, she blinked at Chu Ruan and said with a smile: “Sister, I’m your family too.”
Su Xinyan looked at Chu Ruan nervously.
She was afraid that Chu Ruan would agree and bring this annoying person along, even giving her a chance to get close to Su Mingxiu. That would be disastrous.
Her CP couldn’t be broken!
