After receiving the antibiotic injection, Jiang Yue sat on the hospital flowerbed with a world-weary expression, contemplating life.
Jiang Yue, a delicate young woman of the 21st century, lived a very refined life. During her university days, she would wash her face with large buckets of mineral water, earning her the nickname “Princess Jiang” from her roommates.
Standing at 165 centimeters tall and weighing 89 kilograms, Jiang Yue had skin as fair as a wall, with long black hair cascading down to her waist. She epitomized the standard of being slender and fair. Her greatest wish was to experience a second growth spurt and reach a height of 168 centimeters, allowing her to elongate her slender legs slightly and improve her proportions.
Jiang Yue’s current height has surpassed the one meter eighty mark. She measured herself in the hospital and found herself to be a towering 188.6 centimeters tall. Her legs seemed to stretch for miles, making Jiang Yue feel dizzy just looking at them.
During this period of contemplation, passersby couldn’t help but glance at her, some intentionally and some inadvertently.
It must be said that her current appearance is truly pleasing to the eye. When she furrows her brows in thought, her solemn aura is superb, as if she has stepped out of an A-grade novel.
A week later, she was discharged from the hospital and taken away by a staff member from the social welfare center.
As a survivor of a major accident, she was eligible to receive financial assistance and student loans from the social welfare center.
The social welfare center provided her with temporary accommodation, which was a very small room, even smaller than the bathroom in Jiang Yue’s home.
The room had no windows, only a circular ventilation duct, and the furniture inside consisted of only a single bed and a desk with chairs.
Jiang Yue had never seen such a narrow and frightening place in her life.
She felt like she was splitting apart.
In such a cramped space, wouldn’t the people living here develop mental issues?
Just taking a couple of steps would lead to bumping into the walls, and standing on tiptoe would touch the ceiling. Can anyone really survive in such a place?
She lay on the hard single bed, tears streaming down her face, crying until the wee hours of the night, filled with fear for the future.
In the early hours of dawn, she drifted off into a fitful sleep, filled with all sorts of nonsensical dreams. Upon waking up, the only thing she remembered from her dreams was a pair of limited edition lamb leather pointed high heels she hadn’t managed to buy yet.
She woke up, the room still pitch black.
Thinking it was nighttime, Jiang Yue rubbed her eyes, preparing to go back to sleep. Suddenly, she remembered this cramped room had no windows, so she glanced at the clock.
8:45 in the morning.
The pitch-black room was eerily silent, only the sound of her breathing could be heard.
Tears welled up in Jiang Yue’s eyes once again.
She felt utterly despondent, dragging herself up to turn on the light. The light illuminated the cramped and simple room. Jiang Yue couldn’t control her emotions and began to cry again, sobbing and whimpering as she crouched against the wall for a while.
Then she felt extremely embarrassed by her own crying.
That rough, thunderous crying sound…
Her previous crying had been soft and delicate, the kind of cry that girls were supposed to have, especially pretty girls.
But her current crying sound was so… rugged and deep…
The deep, resonant sobbing left Jiang Yue with a sore throat. She covered her throat, feeling like a chicken whose scream had been abruptly cut off midway by someone choking its neck. The desolate mood disappeared without a trace.
She wiped away the tears crisscrossing her face and reluctantly made her way to the communal bathroom.
In this world, the bathrooms weren’t divided by gender but by ABO types. Jiang Yue took the toiletries provided by the welfare center and began to wash her face and brush her teeth. As she looked at the fierce and penetrating face in the mirror, her spirits, which had been flagging, were suddenly uplifted.
To be honest, it does feel a bit awkward to associate this face with heartache and sorrow. Some people are naturally endowed with a strong demeanor. Do you think Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would hide in a corner sobbing? This face gives off that kind of vibe.
Jiang Yue blinked, tiny droplets of water clinging to her long eyelashes, resembling delicate black feathers adorned with tiny diamonds.
Truly a pleasing face, Jiang Yue felt a little uplifted. She picked up a hair tie and gathered her hair into a high ponytail. Smiling at her reflection in the mirror, she opened the navigation on her terminal and headed to the cafeteria to grab something to eat.
The cafeteria at the welfare center turned out to be surprisingly good. Jiang Yue grabbed a bowl of millet porridge and an egg. A staff member, wearing a mask, looked at her in surprise and asked, “Is that enough for you?”
Jiang Yue replied matter-of-factly, “Of course, it’s enough.”
She had evidently forgotten her new identity and her new body.
After finishing the bowl of millet porridge and the egg, she realized she was still hungry.
She had no choice but to order more food. This time, Jiang Yue devoured thirty-five mushroom and chicken soup dumplings, two large bowls of soy milk, and a large plate of saucy beef.
What’s even scarier was that she didn’t feel full.
However, the meal card provided by the welfare center only had one thousand star coins. She had already spent thirty star coins on this meal alone. Judging by her appetite, one thousand star coins would only last her about ten days, and that was considering the food at the welfare center was relatively cheap.
With tears in her eyes, Jiang Yue walked out of the cafeteria, hating herself for being such a big eater for the first time.
At noon, she devoured a mountain of rice and five large chicken legs, spending 20 star coins.
In the evening, she ate another half basin’s worth of rice and a plate of pork belly.
Despite eating so much, Jiang Yue still woke up hungry in the middle of the night. Luckily, she was well aware of her current appetite and had prepared instant noodles in advance. At the end of the corridor, there was a hot water dispenser, perfect for making instant noodles.
Upon pushing open the door to her dormitory, intending to go to the corridor to get some hot water, Jiang Yue was greeted by a sight of alphas squatting all over the corridor.
A long line had already formed in front of the hot water dispenser, and the entire corridor was filled with the aroma of instant noodles. The towering alphas squatted against the walls, slurping up their noodles, as if it were a routine occurrence.
Jiang Yue queued up dazedly to get water.
Standing in front of her was a male alpha, wearing a white tank top, with a tall, muscular, and handsome physique, slightly shorter than her. He glanced at the cup noodles in Jiang Yue’s hand and struck up a conversation with her very casually.
“This brand’s shrimp and fish flavor is a bit fishy, but the spicy beef flavor is delicious,” he remarked.
Jiang Yue replied, “There’s only this flavor left in the cafeteria.”
The alpha commented, “Then you’re too slow. Us alphas get hungry easily, so you better grab more flavors and switch them up.”
Curiously, Jiang Yue asked, “Do all alphas have big appetites? Are there any alphas with small appetites?”
The sunny and handsome alpha chuckled, “How could it be possible? Our energy expenditure rate is so fast, and our desire to eat every day is very strong.”
After fetching water, Jiang Yue, like all the alphas, devoutly squatted against the wall, cradling her cup noodles. With her toughened skin, she wasn’t afraid of getting burnt at all.
It must be said that the strength of alphas’ bodies is incredibly frightening, as hard as stone and as fiery as fire.
The sunny and handsome alpha squatted beside her, holding the classic flavor of braised beef noodles in his hand.
As Jiang Yue was eating her noodles, a wheat-skinned alpha squatted down to her right, laying out three cups of noodles neatly on the ground, which left Jiang Yue utterly amazed.
The wheat-skinned alpha glanced at Jiang Yue’s single cup of noodles, also greatly surprised.
“Your humps are so developed, how can you eat so little?” he asked.
Jiang Yue was stunned, lowering her head to glance at her chest. For a moment, she felt like she was being sexually harassed, but quickly realized they were the same gender.
She replied with some hesitation, “Um… maybe it’s precisely because they’re developed that I don’t feel as hungry.”
“Yeah, that makes sense. Women A’s endurance is usually stronger.”
After finishing her noodles, Jiang Yue returned to her dormitory, licking her teeth, still feeling very hungry. However, the balance on her meal card reminded her that she couldn’t eat anymore.
It was just too sad.
Jiang Yue had never imagined there would come a day when she couldn’t eat enough food.
She used to be a little fairy who could survive on a bag of potato chips for a week!
Jiang Yue hugged her blanket and silently endured, only to have a very awkward dream in the middle of the night.
Indeed, it’s hard for girls to imagine that feeling of being on the brink of explosion, with flames raging from within, an extreme thirst and an intense heat burning through their entire body.
It’s like being an over-inflated balloon in a raging fire, desperately in need of release.
On this pitch-black night, Jiang Yue fully experienced this sensation.
Being 18 is such a restless age, after all.
Jiang Yue woke up from her dream thinking she had wet the bed.
About ten seconds later, she realized that she hadn’t wet the bed, but had experienced a wet dream.
She covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
