After Desperately Pretending To Be An Omega In Front Of My Girlfriend - Chapter 13
Just as that slender, delicate hand was about to slide down toward Qi Yu’s collarbone, Qi Yu caught it in one grip and moved it aside.
“Stop teasing me.”
“What?”
Gu Qian rested her chin lazily on Qi Yu’s shoulder.
“You can’t take even this much?”
“This hurts.”
Qi Yu awkwardly lifted one shoulder and pushed Gu Qian’s beautiful face away with the back of her hand.
“Do you have any idea how sharp your chin is?”
Gu Qian raised an eyebrow and tugged lightly at the end of Qi Yu’s hair in retaliation.
“So now you’re starting to dislike your big sister?”
“When did I ever say that?”
Qi Yu shrank her neck and defended herself quietly.
“Sorry. Am I interrupting something?”
Feng Qi’s voice came from the doorway.
He wore an expression that clearly said, I understand, and even winked at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu immediately put some distance between herself and Gu Qian.
Forcing a smile, she asked,
“Senior Feng, is something wrong?”
“We’re all going back to the hotel for lunch later. Director Wang is paying!”
The production’s principal actors gathered in the private room that had been reserved in advance.
When everyone began choosing seats freely, Qi Yu hesitated for a moment before gathering her courage and walking toward Jiang Lan.
She had just been about to sit down when Feng Qi moved faster.
With a perfectly natural expression, he pulled out the chair beside Jiang Lan and sat down.
Qi Yu froze.
Feng Qi smiled at her.
“Let me talk to your Sister Jiang Lan for a while.”
“You can sit over there.”
He raised his chin toward another part of the table.
Following his gaze, Qi Yu saw Gu Qian seated elegantly on the opposite side.
Supporting her chin with one finger, Gu Qian gave her a radiant smile.
Qi Yu: “…”
Determined to show some backbone, Qi Yu took several steps toward the seat beside a young actress she didn’t know very well.
Then Gu Qian’s smile grew even gentler.
So gentle that a chill ran down Qi Yu’s spine.
Her footsteps instantly became heavy.
Taking a deep breath, she hurried toward Gu Qian.
She pulled out the chair.
Just as she bent down to sit, a slender, fair arm barred her path.
“You sit down simply because you want to?”
Gu Qian’s smile disappeared.
“Is this how you behave toward a senior?”
Her tone was righteous and severe, without the slightest hint that she was joking.
Under the entertained gazes of everyone around them, Qi Yu hesitated for several seconds before carefully asking,
“Senior Gu, may I sit here?”
Gu Qian’s lips curved upward.
Then she silently mouthed three words with her crimson lips.
Call me Big Sister.
“Big… Sister Gu.”
Qi Yu forced the humiliating words from her mouth.
“May I sit here?”
Gu Qian let out a satisfied hum and slowly withdrew her arm.
“Come on, everyone. Put your phones away.”
Director Wang pretended to be angry as he spoke seriously.
“Starting now, no one is allowed to use their phone.”
Several young actors who had been busy taking photos and selfies with the people around them hurriedly put their phones away.
Director Wang nodded in satisfaction.
“Next, I have a surprise for all of you!”
The moment Director Wang finished speaking, every light in the sealed private room went out at once.
Darkness swallowed everything.
Several actresses’ startled cries echoed one after another through the room.
Qi Yu quickly realized this was probably the surprise Director Wang had prepared.
She had barely calmed herself when something soft and damp suddenly pressed against her lips.
The fragrance of hibiscus filled every breath she took.
“Mmph—”
The unexpected kiss nearly stopped Qi Yu’s breathing.
Her heart pounded so violently that it seemed to drown out every other sound in the world.
A pair of familiar hands cupped her cheeks.
The gland at the back of her neck was gently stroked.
“Mm…”
Afraid someone would notice, Qi Yu didn’t dare struggle too violently.
A soft tongue slipped into her mouth, caught the tip of her tongue, and slowly brushed against her neat teeth.
Qi Yu’s entire body went weak.
A soft moan escaped her before she could stop it.
The person lightly bit the tip of her tongue as though punishing her, then reluctantly licked the corner of her lips before finally pulling away at an unhurried pace.
Almost the instant the sensation disappeared from her lips, the lights came back on.
An actor entered through the door, humming a song while pushing a birthday cake covered in lit candles.
“Today is Teacher Jiang Lan’s birthday.”
Director Wang announced,
“So the production prepared this surprise especially for her.”
“Happy birthday, Teacher Jiang Lan!”
Thunderous applause instantly filled the private room.
Even after the lights returned, Qi Yu’s breathing remained unsteady.
She turned toward Gu Qian in disbelief.
Gu Qian completely ignored her.
As though nothing had happened, she applauded along with everyone else.
Wasn’t it Gu Qian?
Qi Yu looked to her other side.
The middle-aged actress seated beside her was smiling at her kindly.
Qi Yu: “…”
She felt ashamed for even suspecting such a highly respected senior.
Jiang Lan herself hadn’t expected the production team to celebrate her birthday.
Overcome with surprise, she covered her mouth as grateful tears shimmered in her eyes.
“Oh my goodness.”
“I really am getting old. I’d completely forgotten today was my birthday.”
“Thank you, everyone!”
She suddenly seemed to remember something.
Her eyes brightened as she turned to Director Wang.
“Director Wang, would you mind if I copied the younger generation and started a livestream?”
Director Wang naturally had no objections.
Like an excited young girl, Jiang Lan happily pulled out her phone and started a livestream.
Her assistant came over and thoughtfully took the phone to help film.
Jiang Lan changed the title to:
Birthday Dinner with the Production Team
The moment the livestream began, more than a hundred thousand viewers flooded in.
The number continued climbing.
Dense waves of comments raced across the screen.
Am I seeing this right? Teacher Jiang Lan started a livestream?
Happy birthday, Teacher Jiang Lan!
It looks like all the main actors from Alley are there! Please show Best Actress Gu, please!
Jiang Lan invited everyone to eat cake.
The actress seated beside Qi Yu poured her a glass of coconut juice.
“Thank you, I—”
Qi Yu had barely spoken two words before Gu Qian took the drink away.
“I’ll drink it.”
“Xiaoyu doesn’t drink coconut juice, milk, or anything like that.”
The actress froze.
It took several seconds before she recovered.
“O-Okay.”
“Xiaoyu, just tell me what you’d like to drink.”
The crew member holding the phone had already moved closer with perfect instincts, capturing the entire exchange.
What just happened? Did Gu Qian steal Qi Yu’s drink?
Best Actress Gu seemed to say Xiaoyu doesn’t drink coconut juice or milk?
Did Best Actress Gu drink fake alcohol or something? Why does it feel like she just switched into guardian mode? Hahahaha.
Outside the camera’s view, Qi Yu glared at Gu Qian.
She reached toward a plate of spicy crayfish.
Her hand had barely reached it before it was pulled back.
“The injury on your knee hasn’t fully healed yet, has it?”
“You can’t eat spicy food until you recover.”
Qi Yu: “…”
She repeatedly reminded herself:
Don’t get angry.
Don’t get angry.
Endure for a moment, and the storm will pass.
Take one step back, and the world will open before you.
So she forced an exaggeratedly sweet smile.
“I understand.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Gu~”
The livestream comments exploded.
What do I do? I think I suddenly understand what makes Omega–Omega romance so cute! I’ve always been a loyal Alpha–Omega fan!
The way she said she can’t eat spicy food was so indulgent! AHHHHHH! I’m dead! My health bar is empty!
Best Actress Gu has always been this gentle. You people are fake fans!
Jiang Lan happened to walk over while distributing cake.
She set down the plate in her hands, glanced curiously at the phone, and read aloud,
“Thank you… um… ‘QianYuQianXunIsReal’ for sending ten spaceships?”
She looked puzzled.
“What does Qian Yu Qian Xun mean?”
“And what does ‘is real’ mean?”
The instant Qi Yu heard the username, a strange feeling rose inside her.
A young actress sitting across the table giggled and winked repeatedly at her.
“Teacher Jiang Lan, that young lady is expressing how much she likes Best Actress Gu and Student Qi Yu!”
Realization dawned on Jiang Lan.
She nodded with a smile.
“Young people create more and more expressions these days.”
“There are so many I don’t understand.”
In a cheerful mood, she patted Qi Yu’s back.
“I also like Best Actress Gu and Student Qi.”
“Qian Yu Qian Xun is real! Hahaha!”
Then she playfully raised a peace sign toward the camera.
Qi Yu: “…”
The viewers in the livestream laughed themselves senseless.
The comments were filled with endless strings of laughter.
Teacher Jiang is too adorable!!
Is it really okay to bully Teacher Jiang Lan like this?
Gu Qian cleared her throat and smoothly rescued the situation.
“All right.”
“Let’s eat before everything gets cold.”
After the livestream ended, a young male actor suggested playing Truth or Dare.
Qi Yu’s right eyelid twitched violently.
She instinctively showed her reluctance, but she had no standing to object.
The bottle slowly spun around the table and stopped in front of her.
Qi Yu sighed in resignation.
With a bitter smile, she said,
“I’ll choose truth.”
The entertainment industry was a special place.
No one knew which careless joke might become future scandal material, so the people present didn’t dare ask anything too outrageous.
As expected, the male actor tactfully asked an innocuous question.
“Then tell us what your ideal type is like.”
Qi Yu thought about it.
The question seemed easy enough.
She relaxed.
“Preferably someone older than me.”
Jiang Lan was already in her forties, almost two generations older than Qi Yu.
“She has to be very beautiful.”
Jiang Lan had become famous for her beauty when she first debuted, and after all these years, her elegance hadn’t faded in the slightest.
“Her personality should be gentle.”
Despite her status, Jiang Lan was famous throughout the industry for being patient and good-tempered.
Unlike Gu Qian, who took her bad moods out on Qi Yu and kissed her without warning whenever she felt like it.
“Preferably an actress too, and a good one.”
“That way, I’d feel like we had a lot to talk about.”
When Jiang Lan was younger, she had won more awards than she could count.
Her name still frequently appeared in the acting textbooks used at Capital Film University.
“She should know how to take care of people.”
“I like someone considerate.”
Over the past few days, whenever Qi Yu became exhausted from filming, Jiang Lan had repeatedly come over to comfort her.
She treated Qi Yu respectfully and showed her great care.
She absolutely couldn’t be like Gu Qian, who insisted on controlling everything and never allowed anyone to argue with her.
When Qi Yu finished speaking, she noticed the private room had fallen silent.
Thinking she had said too much, she scratched her head awkwardly.
“Of course, I’m just imagining things.”
Even Director Wang wore an understanding smile.
He kept glancing toward Gu Qian.
Gu Qian lowered her head with a faint smile and took a small bite of cream.
Qi Yu rarely saw such a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.
She marveled silently.
Did she understand my hint?
After the dinner ended, Gu Qian and Qi Yu walked back together because their rooms were next to each other.
Neither of them spoke.
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Qi Yu quickened her steps.
When she reached her door, she turned, intending to politely say goodbye to Gu Qian.
Before she could speak, Gu Qian suddenly stepped forward and lightly hooked one finger through Qi Yu’s clothing tie.
Warm, fragrant breath brushed against the side of her face.
“Little troublemaker.”
Gu Qian’s voice was soft and intimate.
“Why was your mouth so sweet today?”
The hotel keycard slipped from Qi Yu’s hand and fell to the floor.
“Huh?”
