After Desperately Pretending To Be An Omega In Front Of My Girlfriend - Chapter 12
Gu Qian V:
One of the happiest things about joining the Alley production has been getting to know @QiYu. Little Qi injured her knees while filming today, yet she still insisted on finishing one of the most difficult scenes. Even Director Wang, who always keeps a straight face, secretly told me that Little Qi is not only talented, but incredibly hardworking. đź’Ş
Gu Qian’s Weibo account had long been managed by her studio.
Scrolling through it, aside from the bizarre spree of likes from last time, nearly every post consisted of endorsements or promotional reposts for commercial events.
The moment fans saw Gu Qian suddenly publish a post unrelated to work—and even tag another actor—they flooded into the comments in excitement.
Gu Qian Global Fan Club V:
Everyone in the production is working so hard! Best Actress Gu and Student Qi Yu, keep it up! Go, go, go!
HibiscusPerfumeSoldOutAgain:
Is this the speed of light? She slapped those gossip accounts in the face immediately.
HasQiYuGoneViralToday:
Those shameless media outlets really have no bottom line. They’re bullying Yubao because she has no powerful backer and no fanbase, aren’t they? Even Gu Qian personally came out to prove that Yubao’s attitude toward filming is impeccable.
TheCPImShipMustGetMarried:
Wait, did no one notice that Best Actress Gu specifically mentioned Qi Yu injured her knees? We already know Gu Qian was crouching in front of Qi Yu in that video, so that means…
OOIsTheBest:
AHHHHHH! Best Actress Gu personally treated Qi Yu’s wounds! I’m going to die from the sweetness—someone get me my insulin!
Thanks to that single Weibo post, the tide turned almost instantly.
Only half an hour earlier, Qi Yu had been bombarded with criticism.
Now the entire internet was praising her dedication and work ethic.
Watching the endless stream of red notification icons and steadily climbing follower count in her account, Qi Yu couldn’t help sighing.
As one of the strongest actresses of the new generation, Gu Qian’s popularity truly rivaled every major idol.
Turning her head, she found Coco staring at her with wide, sparkling eyes.
“Don’t look at me like that.”
Qi Yu waved dismissively.
“Gu Qian and I are both signed with Fenghua. The company probably asked her to post that.”
The moment she said it aloud, even she thought the explanation sounded perfectly reasonable.
“But…”
Coco thought for quite a while before speaking honestly.
“I really think Best Actress Gu thinks highly of you.”
“You know…”
“She’s been in the industry for years.”
“I’ve never seen her publicly speak up for any other newcomer at the company.”
Seeing Qi Yu remain silent, Coco blushed slightly.
“S-Sister Qi…”
“Do you think Sister Gu might…”
“…li—”
“You’re overthinking it!”
Qi Yu immediately cut her off.
“She’s an Omega.”
“Why would she like me?”
She pulled a pillow over her face and began shooing Coco away.
“Sleep.”
“Go to sleep.”
That night, Qi Yu was plagued by nightmares.
In her dream…
She and Gu Qian were standing together at their wedding.
Just as the priest asked them to exchange rings—
Xu Man suddenly burst into the ceremony shouting,
“Gu Qian!”
“Come with me!”
Gu Qian instantly burst into tears of emotion.
Leaving the stunned Qi Yu standing alone at the altar…
She ran away hand in hand with Xu Man.
The next morning’s headlines all read:

Qi Yu was so absent-minded while getting ready that she nearly squeezed facial cleanser onto her toothbrush instead of toothpaste.
Still dazed, she arrived at the filming location.
She immediately tripped over an electrical cable on the ground.
Fortunately, Coco caught her before she could fall.
“Sister Qi…”
“You stayed up late too, didn’t you?”
“Shouldn’t you take the day off and get some rest?”
Coco asked worriedly.
Qi Yu shook her head.
“I’m fine.”
“I’m just excited about today’s scene.”
She smiled and changed the subject.
“What about you?”
“Why were you up so late?”
Coco immediately looked furious.
“I was reading a novel!”
“It was absolutely heartbreaking!”
“I seriously want to mail the author a box of razor blades!”
“What novel?”
Qi Yu asked with interest.
“The Domineering Omega’s Disguised Little Alpha Wife.”
“That Alpha is such trash.”
“She totally deserved having the female supporting character steal her bride!”
Qi Yu: “…”
Today’s scene was one of the most important moments in the entire film.
After meeting Xu Sheng, Chen Yan pitied the girl’s difficult life and bought her clothes and daily necessities.
Yet Xu Sheng never used any of them.
Then one day…
Chen Yan witnessed Xu Sheng chatting with an unfamiliar teenage boy in the alley.
Even worse…
Xu Sheng accepted a gift from him.
The emotions Chen Yan had been suppressing finally erupted.
Director Wang spoke until his throat was practically dry.
“So…”
“This is the beginning of the emotional shift between Xu Sheng and Chen Yan.”
“Xu Sheng realizes Chen Yan possesses an unhealthy desire to control her.”
“But Chen Yan herself hasn’t become aware of it yet.”
“Understand?”
Qi Yu immediately switched into work mode and nodded.
“Scene Seven, Shot Three, Take One.”
“Action!”
“Xu Sheng?”
“Xu Sheng?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Are you listening?”
A droplet rolled off the edge of the roof and landed on Xu Sheng’s arm.
The cool sensation startled her back to reality.
She looked toward the worried-looking boy standing before her.
“I’m fine.”
“Please thank Teacher for caring about me.”
Xu Sheng spoke gently.
Her gaze quietly swept over the muddy stains on the boy’s spotless white school uniform pants.
That stain looked painfully out of place.
Just like the boy himself…
Standing in this alley.
Annoying.
“Teacher asked me to bring you these clothes.”
“She said if you’re having any difficulties…”
“…you can always go to her.”
The boy scratched the back of his head awkwardly before handing over an elegantly wrapped shopping bag.
A faint smile curved Xu Sheng’s lips.
“Thank you.”
The boy lingered awkwardly for quite a while.
Seeing that Xu Sheng had no intention of continuing the conversation, he forced an embarrassed smile.
“Then…”
“I’ll be going.”
He walked away.
After taking several steps, he turned back hesitantly.
“Um…”
“If you can…”
“…I still think it’d be better if you returned to school.”
Xu Sheng merely smiled without commenting.
Only after the boy disappeared from sight did she finally turn around.
She had barely taken two steps when hurried footsteps echoed behind her.
An icy hand suddenly clamped tightly around her wrist.
The grip was so strong it felt as though it might crush her bones.
“Who was he?”
It was a familiar voice.
The overly enthusiastic new neighbor from next door.
Suppressing the irritation inside her, Xu Sheng frowned and struggled.
“You’re hurting me.”
Chen Yan pressed Xu Sheng against the uneven concrete wall.
Her beautiful face drew closer until their breaths almost intertwined.
“I bought you all those things.”
“You never accepted any of them.”
“But someone else gives you something…”
“…and you’re this happy?”
Xu Sheng avoided Chen Yan’s burning gaze.
Calmly, she answered,
“He was my classmate before I dropped out.”
“The clothes were bought by my homeroom teacher.”
Something in Chen Yan’s eyes was different today.
Far darker than before.
She slowly reached out and caressed Xu Sheng’s delicate face.
Her fingertips lingered until the corner of Xu Sheng’s eye had been rubbed red.
During their struggle, Xu Sheng’s slender shoulder slipped partially free from beneath her oversized, worn jacket.
Her sharply defined collarbone looked so fragile it seemed it could break with a single squeeze.
Chen Yan’s breathing grew heavier.
An utterly inappropriate fantasy surfaced before her eyes.
The girl before her…
Should wear only the clothes Chen Yan had chosen herself.
Should live exactly as Chen Yan wished.
Should carry only Chen Yan’s scent.
Chen Yan pulled Xu Sheng tightly into her embrace.
Like someone possessed, she murmured repeatedly,
“I’m only doing this for your own good.”
“For your own good…”
Xu Sheng shoved against Chen Yan’s chest and struggled desperately.
“Cut!”
Director Wang stopped the scene.
Clearly dissatisfied, he said,
“Little Qi.”
“Xu Sheng hates Chen Yan.”
“You need to push her away with obvious disgust.”
“I didn’t tell you to blush!”
Hearing the crew burst into laughter around her, Qi Yu’s face burned crimson.
Embarrassed, she rubbed her nose.
“Sorry!”
Standing nearby with her arms folded, Gu Qian watched her with smiling eyes.
“Take a moment.”
“We’ll continue after your face isn’t red anymore.”
Director Wang said.
Coco patted Qi Yu’s back.
Her expression carried seven parts sympathy…
…and three parts schadenfreude.
“Sister Qi…”
“I really can’t blame you.”
“If Sister Gu hugged me once…”
“…I’d probably faint on the spot.”
Qi Yu: “…”
“Scene Seven, Shot Three, Take Two.”
“Action!”
Inside her heart, Qi Yu repeatedly chanted:
I am Xu Sheng.
I am Xu Sheng.
I am Xu Sheng.
The moment she looked up…
Gu Qian’s hibiscus scent filled every breath she took.
The woman gazed at her with overwhelming affection.
Then that soft body leaned close once more.
“Cut!”
Director Wang shouted through the loudspeaker.
“Why are you blushing even harder this time?!”
Qi Yu had no way to explain herself.
She couldn’t exactly control her body’s instincts.
“Pfft—”
Gu Qian couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Her eyes curved into bright crescents.
To Qi Yu…
It looked like undisguised mockery.
Qi Yu fled miserably into the rest tent.
Trying to calm her racing heartbeat, she pressed an ice-cold bottle of mineral water against her burning cheeks.
At the same time…
She desperately recalled every single occasion from childhood when Gu Qian had bullied her.
Finally…
She managed to find the right emotional state.
Director Wang called out,
“Ready?”
“Just another moment!”
Qi Yu pulled out her phone.
She opened Weibo.
Then entered the Xu Man Ă— Gu Qian CP Super Topic.
After scrolling through it for a while…
She finally closed the app with complete satisfaction.
Confidently, she announced,
“I’m ready now!”
“Scene Seven, Shot Three, Take Three.”
“Action!”
Xu Sheng’s face turned pale.
She struggled to escape Chen Yan’s restraint.
Then…
She looked into Chen Yan’s eyes.
Those eyes were pitch black.
As cold as this alley that never saw sunlight.
Yet hidden beneath that darkness burned an obsessive passion…
One no ordinary person should possess.
Xu Sheng’s struggling gradually slowed.
Within those pupils…
She saw her own reflection.
They were equally filthy.
Equally insane.
The blood throughout her body suddenly seemed to boil uncontrollably.
A strange thrill rose from the depths of her heart.
A cold smile slowly curved across Xu Sheng’s lips.
“Cut!”
“Perfect!”
Director Wang praised enthusiastically.
“Little Qi!”
“The improvement is obvious.”
“You adjusted incredibly quickly.”
“And that final smile…”
“Cold.”
“Mocking.”
“Perfect.”
He nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Lan walked over with a teasing grin.
“Good thing you’re an Omega.”
“If you were an Alpha…”
“…I doubt you’d be able to withstand Best Actress Gu’s charm.”
“Even I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t blush.”
Qi Yu hurriedly took a drink of water to hide her guilty conscience.
Jiang Lan suddenly seemed to remember something.
Excitedly, she said,
“I remember there was once an Alpha who filmed opposite Best Actress Gu.”
“Right after the shoot…”
“…she unexpectedly went into a mating heat.”
“…What happened afterward?”
Qi Yu couldn’t help asking.
“Oh.”
“I think she got blacklisted.”
“Hahaha.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Qi Yu entered the empty rest tent to change clothes.
She had just taken off her jacket when a soft hand pressed gently against her back.
“When I hugged you earlier…”
“Why did you blush?”
Gu Qian smiled brightly as she leaned closer.
Qi Yu immediately stepped backward, avoiding her hand.
“It was too hot.”
“Too hot?”
Gu Qian repeated the words in a teasing tone, feigning surprise.
Then she reached out and lightly brushed her fingertips across Qi Yu’s still-burning cheek.
“What about now?”
She smiled.
“Is this because it’s too hot too?”
