After Becoming an Alpha, I Became a Charmer (GL) - Chapter 39.2

After setting the time, Xia Zhiyu exited the chat with Ke Miao. She noticed a 100,000 yuan transfer from Zhao Sheng.

Xia Zhiyu immediately accepted the transfer, then replied to Zhao Sheng.

XiaZhiyu: Sorry, Brother Zhao. I accepted it quickly. What is this money for? You didn’t transfer it by mistake, did you? I won’t refund it since I’ve already accepted it.

ZhaoSheng: The second car.

Zhao Sheng’s tone was very cold, but Xia Zhiyu could see through his façade to the abnormality underneath.

I didn’t even mention the second car, and Zhao Sheng suddenly offered to pay for it. Something is definitely going on.

XiaZhiyu: Thank you, Brother Zhao~ I totally forgot about it. I was just chatting with Sister Ke. She invited me out to dinner on Sunday, too, at the Haoting Hotel.

ZhaoSheng: Ke Miao? Why is she inviting you out?

Xia Zhiyu had assumed Zhao Sheng knew Ke Miao was contacting her and was using the money transfer as an excuse to gather information. She was surprised that Zhao Sheng seemed completely unaware of the matter.

XiaZhiyu: I don’t know why Sister Ke invited me out. Maybe, like you, Brother Zhao, she wants my help with a small favor.

ZhaoSheng: Don’t just agree to anything you see a cash reward for. Ke Miao won’t care about your safety.

Zhao Sheng seems to care about my safety?

Xia Zhiyu raised an eyebrow.

XiaZhiyu: Brother Zhao, why would you say that? Do you think I’m someone who only cares about money? Don’t worry. Unless Sister Ke’s offer is so big that I can’t refuse, I won’t take any risks.

ZhaoSheng: …Tell me a number. Refuse Ke Miao.

XiaZhiyu: Brother Zhao, I thought you and Sister Ke were very close.

ZhaoSheng: We are close, but you are my collaborator now.

XiaZhiyu: If there’s no conflict, I’d like to try collaborating with Sister Ke, too. You know I’m very short on money, Brother Zhao.

Zhao Sheng didn’t reply for a long time.

Ruan Wu finished showering. She had already dried her hair in the bathroom. She came out and told Xia Zhiyu, “Let’s go. Let’s watch the movie.”

Xia Zhiyu immediately put down her phone, setting aside Zhao Sheng’s matter for now. She went to the audiovisual room with Ruan Wu.

Both of them were wearing pure white robes, and they both exuded the same shower gel scent. However, the scent on Xia Zhiyu’s body had already settled, while the scent on Ruan Wu’s body was still dissipating due to the residual heat.

Xia Zhiyu smelled the scent on Ruan Wu and felt it was somehow more fragrant than the scent on herself.

They reached the audiovisual room and sat next to each other on the sofa. Xia Zhiyu asked, “Ruan Ruan, what’s the name of the movie you chose?”

“Your Little Town. The comments say it’s very sweet. Watch it carefully and learn well.”

“No problem. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down,” Xia Zhiyu promised.

“Mhm.” Ruan Wu was satisfied with Xia Zhiyu’s seriousness. She picked up the remote and pressed play.

Unlike watching a movie in a theater, which often includes introductory segments from film production companies, this movie jumped straight into the plot.

It was a deep, dark night. Only the full moon in the sky cast a faint glow, laying down a patch of frosty white light.

A petite Omega girl ran out of the dense woods. Her two braids flew behind her. Her panicked eyes brightened when she saw a dimly lit wooden cabin ahead. She ran toward it full of hope and knocked on the door quickly and urgently.

“Who is it?” a wary voice asked. The door opened a crack, revealing a pair of calm, dark eyes.

The girl immediately said, “Hello. I accidentally got separated from my family in the woods. Can you take me in for the night?”

The door opened a little more, finally revealing the woman’s full appearance inside. She had a beautiful face. Her pupils were deep black, and her aggressive gaze scrutinized the girl in front of her.

“An Omega? I’m an Alpha,” the woman said.

“It’s okay. I’m not afraid,” the girl immediately said. Her expression became pitiful. “I’m afraid of the wild beasts in the woods. I’d rather be eaten by you than by a wild beast.”

Xia Zhiyu: “???”

What kind of audacious line is that?

Never mind the poor acting and the ridiculous plot. I’m not supposed to be learning about those things. But the encounter between the two female leads was even more absurd. It started with “eaten,” such a discordant word.

Do movie theaters actually show movies like this? Can Ruan Wu and I really learn how to have a sweet relationship from this?

Where did Ruan Wu find such a movie that’s full of bugs right from the start?

Xia Zhiyu turned her head and looked at Ruan Wu. She saw Ruan Wu was still watching intently. Remembering her promise, Xia Zhiyu had no choice but to endure the strange plot and continue watching. Maybe there’s a surprise later.

The woman opened the door and let the girl into her cabin.

“You have a very big bed,” the girl said enviously.

“It belongs to you tonight, too.”

The girl turned around and found the woman already standing behind her. She instinctively took a panicked step back. “I- I want to take a bath.”

The woman looked at her, raised her hand, and stroked the girl’s face. “I’ll go get the water for you.”

Xia Zhiyu: “…” No. The plot is definitely wrong.

But Ruan Wu is still watching.

The scene quickly changed. The girl was sitting in a wooden tub, taking a bath. The woman was washing her shoulders. The two didn’t seem like they had just met. They suddenly became intimate. Their eyes became lingering. They occasionally exchanged glances, and the air around them started to thicken.

“Ruan Ruan, this…” Xia Zhiyu wanted to tell Ruan Wu to switch to a “more decent” movie, but Ruan Wu raised her hand to interrupt.

Ruan Wu’s hand landed precisely over her lips. “Watch carefully.”

Xia Zhiyu: “…” Does Ruan Wu really not think there’s a problem with the plot?

On the projection screen, the girl finished her bath with the woman’s help. She put on the white slip dress the woman had prepared for her and sat on the bed. Her legs were covered in scratches.

The woman took some medicine to treat her wounds. At first, she applied the medicine properly. But then, the two exchanged glances. The cotton swab in the woman’s hand fell. She cupped the girl’s face and kissed her on the eye.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heated. Xia Zhiyu couldn’t sit still. She was absolutely certain that this was a restricted movie.

Fortunately, the subsequent scenes were filmed quite beautifully. Xia Zhiyu barely managed to watch the rest of the film. Even after the plot ended, the loving words and gasps from the two female leads seemed to echo in her ears.

Ruan Wu’s eyes hadn’t left the screen the entire time. She watched every scene intently, not even blushing during the most intense moments, genuinely trying to learn something from the film.

Could there be romantic plot points later?

Ruan Wu’s choice of movie can’t be wrong.

Xia Zhiyu relied on that thought to watch the entire film. It wasn’t until the audiovisual room suddenly went dark that Xia Zhiyu confirmed the movie she watched was indeed not a decent movie.

The two female leads established a relationship after one night in the cabin and started dating. The subsequent plot included scenes of them making love in the big bed, outside the cabin, in the woods, and even in front of wild beasts. It was as stimulating as possible. The Omega girl seemed to have completely forgotten that she got separated from her family in the woods. After falling in love with the Alpha, she completely cast her family aside and never mentioned them again.

Xia Zhiyu was a normal Alpha. She was bound to react to such scenes.

Ruan Wu heard Xia Zhiyu’s slightly hurried breathing. She picked up the remote control, turned on the lights in the audiovisual room, and looked over with concern. “Are you alright?”

Xia Zhiyu’s cheeks and ears were flushed. Her eyes were shimmering, and her gaze toward Ruan Wu seemed to have a hook in it.

Ruan Wu’s face, which hadn’t blushed once while watching the entire film, suddenly flushed.

“…I’m fine. I’m perfectly fine. I just need to calm down a little.”

Ruan Wu smelled Xia Zhiyu’s pheromones in the air and suddenly realized what was happening. She frowned and asked, “You reacted physically because you were looking at another Omega’s body?”

“No,” Xia Zhiyu said, a little embarrassed. “I reacted because I was thinking of you.”

“I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t think that way, but in that situation, it was hard not to,” especially since Ruan Wu was sitting right next to her, giving off the subtle fragrance of the shower gel. Seeing the female lead bathing, she couldn’t help but imagine Ruan Wu bathing.

Ruan Wu stared at Xia Zhiyu for a moment. Just as Xia Zhiyu was about to apologize again, Ruan Wu suddenly stood up. “Go calm down by yourself. Come to the study to review the film after you’ve calmed down.”

Ruan Wu quickly left the audiovisual room. Xia Zhiyu, who was left behind, felt a sense of relief, but also an inexplicable disappointment.

Ruan Wu didn’t blame me and just left. Why would I feel disappointed?

Could it be that I actually wanted Ruan Wu to do something with me?

Xia Zhiyu stayed in the audiovisual room for half an hour. Only after her body had completely calmed down and her mind was clear did she leave and go to the study to find Ruan Wu.
