After Desperately Pretending To Be An Omega In Front Of My Girlfriend - Chapter 14
Gu Qian leaned casually against the wall, her unpainted fingers tracing slowly down the line of Qi Yu’s jaw.
“What?”
She smiled lazily.
“You dared to say it, but now you won’t admit it?”
“…What did I say?”
Qi Yu swallowed.
Gu Qian seemed fascinated by the movement of her throat.
The pad of her finger slowly slid across Qi Yu’s neck, following the subtle vibration of her voice.
“Your…”
Her crimson lips parted, the tip of her tongue dancing happily as she enunciated each word.
“…ideal type?”
Qi Yu froze for a moment.
For a second, she genuinely couldn’t understand what her admiration for Jiang Lan had to do with Gu Qian.
“The person you described…”
Gu Qian narrowed her eyes dangerously when she noticed Qi Yu’s confused expression.
“…wasn’t it me?”
“I…”
Only then did Qi Yu realize what Gu Qian had misunderstood.
Thinking back to everyone else’s expressions at the dinner table…
Cold sweat immediately broke out across her forehead.
Don’t tell me…
Everyone thought I was describing Gu Qian as my ideal type?
“So…”
Gu Qian’s expression gradually cooled.
“…who was it?”
Seeing Qi Yu remain silent for so long, her voice turned noticeably colder.
“I-It was…”
Qi Yu answered tremblingly.
“Teacher Jiang Lan!”
“…What?”
“My ideal type is an outstanding, mature Alpha like Teacher Jiang Lan!”
Qi Yu blurted it out as quickly as possible, repeating herself firmly.
For an instant, Gu Qian’s beautiful face stiffened.
She slowly stepped back.
Crossing her arms, she looked Qi Yu up and down before letting out a cold laugh.
“Very well.”
Back in her room…
Gu Qian stood silently before the mirror for a very long time.
She didn’t move.
Xiaofan had already been stretching on her yoga mat for nearly half an hour.
Seeing Gu Qian still standing there, she joked,
“Sister Gu, stop looking already.”
“You’re the most beautiful woman in the entire entertainment industry.”
Gu Qian turned around and looked at her.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked,
“Do you think…”
“…I’m not mature enough?”
“Huh?”
Xiaofan’s eyes widened.
“Sister Gu, you aren’t mature enough?”
“Last time I was browsing a girls’ love forum, people even voted you the number one most mature and sexy woman in the entertainment industry.”
Gu Qian lowered her eyes thoughtfully.
“Then…”
“…does she have…”
“…a mommy kink?”
She pondered the matter seriously.
Aside from the fact that Jiang Lan was an Alpha while she herself was an Omega…
The biggest difference between them seemed to be that Jiang Lan already had a child in their twenties…
…while she herself was still single.
“What?”
“Who’s practicing dancing?”
“Sister Gu, are you learning to dance?”
Xiaofan wiped away her sweat and shouted across the room.
She received no reply.
Tsk.
Sister Gu has been getting stranger and stranger lately.
Qi Yu lay on her bed absentmindedly scrolling through the QianYu QianXun Super Topic.
She couldn’t help marveling at the internet’s limitless imagination.
If she kept reading much longer…
She felt like even she would start believing she and Gu Qian were dating.
QianYuQianXunNeverEnds: Everyone, I analyzed it! Qi Yu probably entered the entertainment industry because she followed Gu Qian’s footsteps. First, Gu Qian also graduated from Capital Film University. Second, Qi Yu’s very first drama happened to be with Gu Qian…
Qi Yu stared at the analysis in complete disbelief.
In the eyes of love-obsessed CP fans…
Even drinking a glass of water would probably become evidence that she’d followed Gu Qian’s instructions.
She tossed and turned in bed for ages without falling asleep.
Late into the night…
When the entire world had fallen silent…
Qi Yu closed her eyes.
As consciousness slowly blurred…
Memories from ten years earlier replayed in her mind like an old movie.
Warm, damp breath brushed across her face.
Something as soft and moist as cotton candy landed gently on her lips.
Qi Yu’s eyes flew open in shock.
She found herself staring directly into a pair of thick eyelashes just inches away.
Startled, she accidentally swallowed the chocolate bean in her mouth whole…
And immediately began choking violently.
“Cough! Cough!”
“What are you trying to do?!”
Qi Yu hurriedly shoved Gu Qian away.
She coughed so hard her lungs seemed ready to burst while desperately searching for a glass of water.
The tips of her pale ears turned crimson.
Gu Qian followed closely behind, worriedly patting her back.
After confirming Qi Yu was finally all right…
She became annoyed instead.
“I was feeding you your medicine.”
She puffed out her cheeks unhappily.
“Why did you push me away?”
“See?”
“You choked.”
After gulping down half a glass of water, Qi Yu finally recovered.
Her cheeks were still bright red.
Looking helplessly at the sulking Gu Qian, she sighed.
“You could’ve just put the chocolate bean into my mouth with your fingers.”
“So why did you…”
Gu Qian immediately became serious.
“Didn’t we agree to reenact the scene where Zhang Hongfei saves Li Furong?”
“Zhang Hongfei fed Li Furong with his mouth!”
“…”
Seeing Qi Yu speechless, Gu Qian continued,
“When I asked you to watch The Legend of Hongfei with me…”
“…you weren’t paying attention at all, were you?”
Qi Yu stammered,
“I-I was paying attention…”
“Oh?”
Gu Qian folded her arms and raised an eyebrow.
“Then tell me.”
“After Zhang Hongfei fed her the medicine…”
“…what happened next?”
Qi Yu struggled to remember.
Then cautiously guessed,
“Um…”
“Zhang Hongfei stayed beside Li Furong while she slept through the night?”
“Wrong!”
Gu Qian triumphantly announced the correct answer.
“Zhang Hongfei used his mouth to feed Li Furong water!”
The next second…
She realized this proved Qi Yu truly hadn’t watched the drama properly.
Immediately pouting, she went to sit on the sofa and sulk.
Qi Yu hurried after her.
“Big Sister…”
“I know I was wrong.”
“I really wasn’t ignoring it.”
“I was just too sleepy that day.”
“So I don’t remember the plot very clearly.”
Gu Qian’s face remained full of suspicion.
“I really know I was wrong.”
Qi Yu asked cautiously,
“What would make you happy again?”
She was genuinely afraid Gu Qian would invent some charge against her…
…and then complain about her to Mother Qi.
“Then reenact it with me again.”
Gu Qian spoke.
Then, apparently deciding the punishment wasn’t difficult enough, she added,
“And we have to reenact the earlier scenes too.”
Qi Yu stared.
“The earlier scenes?”
“You mean the one where the Black Mountain Monster seriously injures me?”
“Of course not.”
Gu Qian pouted.
“The part after I rescue you and bring you back inside.”
Qi Yu suddenly remembered something.
Her expression became nervous.
“Don’t tell me…”
“…you mean the scene where Zhang Hongfei transfers his internal energy to Li Furong?”
Seeing Qi Yu finally remember correctly for once, Gu Qian nodded with satisfaction.
“Exactly.”
“You have to look half-conscious.”
“And because you’ve just been seriously injured…”
“…your expression needs to be full of pain.”
“When I fed you the medicine just now…”
“…you looked like you were only taking an afternoon nap.”
“You make it sound so easy.”
Qi Yu protested.
“When I tried looking miserable before…”
“…you said I was overacting.”
“You have to take acting seriously.”
Gu Qian spoke earnestly.
“If you don’t do it well…”
“…then we simply practice more.”
“And no detail can be overlooked.”
Her bright eyes resembled a moonlit lake glittering beneath the stars.
“Then…”
Qi Yu asked hesitantly.
“Does Li Furong also have to…”
“…take her clothes off?”
“Of course.”
Gu Qian answered matter-of-factly.
“In wuxia dramas, whenever the male lead transfers internal energy to the female lead…”
“…he always removes her clothes first.”
“That way the effect is better.”
“…”
Most of today’s filming involved Gu Qian and the other actors.
Shi Yunwei played a young police officer named Zhang Xun.
She belonged to the same special task force as Chen Yan and helped investigate the serial murder case.
“Scene Twenty-Five, Shot Six, Take One.”
“Action!”
Holding a stack of documents she needed to submit, Zhang Xun opened the door to Chen Yan’s office.
Seeing that Chen Yan wasn’t inside, she walked over and placed the files on the desk.
Chen Yan’s coat had been casually draped over the back of her chair.
Zhang Xun noticed a white pill bottle sticking out of one pocket.
She had secretly loved Chen Yan for more than two years.
She’d always paid close attention to every little thing Chen Yan did.
Ever since Chen Yan disguised herself and moved into the alley…
Zhang Xun had felt that something about her had changed.
Her moods became increasingly unpredictable.
She often stared blankly out the window.
Unable to suppress her curiosity…
She took out the medicine bottle.
Across the front were the unmistakable words…
Sleeping Pills.
“What are you doing?”
Chen Yan walked in.
Her icy gaze settled on Zhang Xun.
Startled, Zhang Xun immediately released the bottle.
It landed on the desk with a sharp clack.
“S-Sister Chen…”
“I was just worried about you.”
“I thought maybe you caught a cold…”
“My affairs are none of your concern.”
Chen Yan frowned impatiently.
A trace of irritability slipped into her voice without even her realizing it.
“Do you need anything else?”
Zhang Xun had always been the pride of heaven.
Since childhood she’d been pampered by everyone around her.
Only Chen Yan had repeatedly met her kindness with cold indifference.
Humiliated and angry, Zhang Xun blurted out without thinking,
“Do you know…”
“…that ever since you moved into that alley…”
“…ever since you met that girl Xu Sheng…”
“…you’ve completely stopped being yourself?”
Chen Yan paused.
Then she smiled.
“What was I like before?”
“And what am I like now?”
In that single instant…
Her eyes became as still as stagnant water.
Her gaze transformed into heavy chains, wrapping tightly around Zhang Xun and pinning her where she stood.
“I…”
“I…”
“Cut!”
Director Wang slapped his loudspeaker in frustration.
“At a moment like this…”
“…you still forgot your lines?”
“Shi Yunwei!”
“Are you here to make fun of me?”
Shi Yunwei wiped the sweat from her forehead and repeatedly bowed in apology.
Gu Qian’s gaze just now had been terrifying.
She had never before been looked at by eyes as cold and venomous as a snake’s.
She had committed the most embarrassing mistake a newcomer could make—
She couldn’t keep up with the other actor.
She had even forgotten her lines.
“Best Actress Gu’s acting is incredible.”
Coco sat comfortably in her folding chair, blowing herself with a tiny handheld fan while sympathetically watching Shi Yunwei repeatedly NG.
“Miss Shi just can’t keep up.”
When Qi Yu didn’t respond, Coco sincerely flattered her instead.
“Sister Qi, you and Miss Shi graduated from the same university, right?”
“Your acting is so much better than hers!”
“Shi Yunwei actually has excellent grades in acting too.”
Qi Yu spoke up fairly despite their previous conflicts.
“She’s a good actress.”
“But…”
Coco hesitated.
“When you perform opposite Best Actress Gu…”
“…the chemistry between you two is so much better.”
“You just…”
“…um…”
“…look really good together.”
She swallowed nervously, terrified her identity as a CP fan would be exposed.
“You’d better not say things like that.”
Qi Yu stuck out her tongue.
“I’m afraid Best Actress Gu’s girlfriend fans and career fans will tear me apart.”
Her tone sounded exactly like that of a devoted fangirl.
“She won awards the moment she debuted.”
“In only a few years, she became a double Best Actress admired by everyone.”
“Senior Gu has always stood at the very top.”
“But…”
Coco’s words stopped.
Qi Yu looked at Gu Qian in the distance.
Her voice was so soft it nearly dissolved into the hot summer breeze.
“Some people…”
“…are simply born to be actors.”
She winked at Coco.
Her smile was dazzling.
“As for me…”
“I’m just an ordinary person who keeps working hard to catch up.”
