After Becoming an Alpha, I Became a Charmer (GL) - Chapter 39.1
Ruan Wu: Xia Xia and I are also very excited. I’ve already called a designer to design matching couple outfits. We can wear them tomorrow when we go out.
Xia Zhiyu was a little confused when she saw Ruan Wu’s message. “Ruan Ruan, when did you design couple outfits?” I never gave you my measurements.
Ruan Wu looked up and said calmly, “That’s not important. Hurry up and back me up in the group chat.”
She sleeps next to Xia Zhiyu every day. She’s already familiar with all of Xia Zhiyu’s body measurements. There’s no need to take measurements.
Xia Zhiyu: Wow! Is this a surprise from you, Ruan Ruan? We’ll definitely be the most dazzling couple when we go out tomorrow~ Thank you, Ruan Ruan, mwah~
After sending the message, Xia Zhiyu suddenly remembered something and asked, “Ruan Ruan, we’re wearing couple outfits and going out together. If someone takes a picture and posts it online, it’ll be proof we’re dating. Shouldn’t we…”
“We have to wear them!” Ruan Wu said. “Just don’t go anywhere too crowded.”
“Alright. You’re the boss.” Xia Zhiyu’s heart fluttered for a moment, looking at Ruan Wu giving orders.
The domineering Ruan Wu is truly radiant.
The others in the group saw their “arrogance” and their fighting spirit was piqued.
SongYourui: Just couple outfits? I’m ordering mine now!
ZhouZhang: Wife, I just thought of something. We can wear the toast outfits we wore at our wedding! They’re matching and beautiful. Those are spouse outfits, much more impressive than mere couple outfits.
SongYourui: That’s right! You’re so smart, hubby. We’ll wear those!
“Damn it. Real couples are hard to beat after all.” Xia Zhiyu looked at Ruan Wu. Sure enough, Ruan Wu was frowning deeply.
Ruan Wu said, “Don’t say discouraging things. Couple dating isn’t just about what you wear.”
JingYan: Hey, hey, hey, only the two of you are married. What about us who aren’t?
XuMi: Don’t worry, Yan Yan. Actually, I suddenly got inspired a while ago and designed a lot of clothes for you. I also designed a matching suit for myself to wear when we get engaged. I didn’t expect we could use them so coincidentally tomorrow. But don’t worry, I designed three sets. You’ll still have a choice even if you use one set now.
“Custom-designed clothes. So Jing Yan’s boyfriend is a fashion designer. We really can’t beat that.” Xia Zhiyu said, surprised.
Her competitive spirit wasn’t as strong as Ruan Wu’s. Her tone contained a hint of admiration mixed with astonishment.
Ruan Wu said, “You like custom-designed clothes? Xu Mi isn’t a fashion designer, and his sense of style is a bit strange. Jing Yan is just trying to be strong. She probably won’t wear Xu Mi’s designs out tomorrow and embarrass herself.”
Xia Zhiyu said, “It’s the thought that counts. Regardless of whether they look good or not, if Xu Mi is willing to do this for Jing Yan, Jing Yan must be very happy, even if she secretly dislikes the clothes and doesn’t wear them.”
Ruan Wu seemed thoughtful. “Is that so?”
“Although I haven’t dated, I’ve watched a few romance dramas, so I have a certain grasp of couple psychology. It must be true.”
Pang Jingyi naturally refused to give up easily.
PangJingyi: We’re engaged. We’ll wear our engagement outfits!
JiangXue: Won’t that be unoriginal?
PangJingyi: Do you have any other clothes?
JiangXue: My mom gave me the dress she commissioned a designer from S-Country to make when she got married. It’s still fashionable by today’s standards. There’s a set that would suit you very well.
PangJingyi: And what about you? Are you wearing your uncle’s clothes?
JiangXue: I can wear a men’s suit for you once, if you agree.
PangJingyi: Of course I agree! Haha, we definitely won’t lose now.
“They really have endless ideas. If I didn’t know tomorrow is just a regular couple’s outing, I’d think it was a ‘Best Couple’ selection contest.” Xia Zhiyu was genuinely impressed by the three couples.
“Real couples truly are different.”
Ruan Wu frowned when she heard Xia Zhiyu’s last sentence. “How are they different? If I hadn’t brought it up, they wouldn’t have thought of wearing toast outfits or custom-designed clothes, much less bringing out their parents’ wedding clothes.”
Xia Zhiyu suppressed her laughter and agreed with Ruan Wu. “You’re right, Ruan Ruan. You’re the initiator of all this. They’re just following your lead.”
Ruan Wu’s seriousness is so cute.
Ruan Wu said, “Forget about the clothes. We won’t compete with them on that. Before sleeping, watch a romance drama with me. We’ll learn how real couples interact. We’ll be as sweet as possible tomorrow.”
“No problem. I can stay up all night with you.” Ruan Wu was so competitive. She couldn’t let her down.
Besides, this was likely the only opportunity she would have in her life to be in a romantic relationship, and it was with Ruan Wu, the ultimate Omega female lead who would never date. She had to cherish it.
Ruan Wu rarely watched romance movies. She preferred action thrillers and brain-teasing suspense films. When it came to choosing a film for their “study session,” she had no idea where to start.
Normally, Ruan Wu would ask Song Yourui, who was a film critic and relationship expert and knew a lot about this. But now they were rivals, and Ruan Wu wouldn’t expose her weakness to her competition.
Ruan Wu sent Xia Zhiyu to take a shower first. She opened her laptop and searched for romance movies. The first results were a forum where people were discussing romance movies.
Sensing that this might have what she needed, Ruan Wu clicked the link.
To her surprise, the system warned her that the website’s security certificate had expired and might contain unsafe information, advising caution.
Ruan Wu dismissed the warning. She didn’t pay it any mind.
This was a forum dedicated to discussing romance movies. All types of romance films, categorized by gender, were clearly laid out. People could choose the category they were interested in to discuss.
Ruan Wu clicked on the Female Alpha & Female Omega category, and the interface immediately switched to the discussion page.
[Quickly nominate good-looking female Alpha/female Omega romance movies. The original poster will protect the first hundred comments and keep the best ones. I won’t moderate after the hundredth comment~]
Ruan Wu didn’t quite understand what “protect the comments” meant. She ignored it for now and started checking the film titles mentioned.
Not many films were nominated in the first hundred comments. Ruan Wu noticed that many comments in between had been deleted by the original poster. The deleted ones were likely the types the original poster disliked. Only about a dozen films remained.
Each film had a detailed plot summary. Ruan Wu realized that these films were, without exception, all tragedies (BE – Bad Endings).
Ruan Wu: “…”
Forget it. Maybe the original poster just doesn’t like happy endings (HE). The ones she deleted are probably all HEs.
Ruan Wu simply scrolled past the first hundred comments and looked at the films that hadn’t been deleted by the original poster.
Clash of Love, Your Little Town, Modern Lovers, Just One Night, Love Me Don’t Stop, Burning Desire, Endless Entanglement, Nighttime Fantasy… The further Ruan Wu read, the more inappropriate the film titles seemed. She decided not to scroll any further.
Your Little Town had the most normal title. The summary said it was a happy ending (HE), and the comments were all shouting, “So sweet, ahhh.” I should be able to watch this one.
Ruan Wu compared the options and finally chose Your Little Town.
She went to the audiovisual room and searched for Your Little Town. She was surprised to find that she had to pay for it.
Thinking that it must be a high-quality production to be costly, Ruan Wu paid directly, hit the pause button, and waited for Xia Zhiyu to watch and study with her.
Ruan Wu returned to the bedroom. Xia Zhiyu was already out of the bathroom and blow-drying her hair. Seeing Ruan Wu, she asked, “Ruan Ruan, did you find a movie?”
Ruan Wu said, “I did. We’ll watch it together after I shower.”
“Okay,” Xia Zhiyu said.
Ruan Wu went into the bathroom. Xia Zhiyu wondered what kind of movie Ruan Wu had chosen. But Ruan Wu chose it. It must be good. She never makes mistakes.
Xia Zhiyu picked up her phone and saw a message from Ke Miao, asking if she was free tomorrow or the day after, to invite her to dinner at the Haoting Hotel.
XiaZhiyu: Thank you, Sister Ke~ How about Sunday? I’ve been too busy with work this week. I need to rest properly on Saturday.
KeMiao: No problem.
