After Desperately Pretending To Be An Omega In Front Of My Girlfriend - Chapter 17

During a break on set, Qi Yu sat with her head lowered, chatting with Lin Tong on WeChat.

A City’s Most Delicate Omega:
I have an Omega friend…

Tongtong Baby:
Listening attentively.jpg

A City’s Most Delicate Omega:
She used artificial pheromones to help her childhood sweetheart—who also happens to be an Omega—through her heat… and, well… some indescribable things happened…

Tongtong Baby:
Yubao??? You’ve grown up???

A City’s Most Delicate Omega:
The important part is… that childhood sweetheart is still in love with someone else.

Tongtong Baby:
AHHHHHH, Yubao, what’s happened to you? Who corrupted my innocent little Omega bestie?! Fierce Alpha crying.jpg

A City’s Most Delicate Omega:
My Omega friend is really conflicted right now. What do you think she should do from now on? Pretend nothing happened, or just face it honestly?

Tongtong Baby:
Wuwuwu, Yubao! You’re not my sweet, pure Omega bestie anymore! Are you trying to give your daddy a heart attack?!

A City’s Most Delicate Omega:
…

Qi Yu didn’t send another reply.

Without hesitation, she added Lin Tong to her blacklist.

What was I thinking trying to ask Lin Tong for advice?

My heart hurts even more now.

“Little Qi!”

Director Wang called out cheerfully.

“Come over here and shoot a short video with us!”

It was rare to see Director Wang in such a good mood first thing in the morning.

Instead of his usual stern face, he was smiling at everyone.

Qi Yu wondered why—

Then she noticed Director Wang’s wife had come to visit the set.

Only then did she remember.

Today was Qixi Festival.

The Alley production had decided to film a behind-the-scenes vlog to send holiday wishes to their fans.

The official Weibo account had even launched a giveaway in advance.

The winning fans would each be allowed to make one harmless request of the cast.

Feng Qi, who had once worked as a television host, walked over holding a microphone with practiced ease.

Smiling at Qi Yu, he asked,

“Little Qi.”

“It’s Qixi today.”

“What would you like to say to the fans who support you?”

“Tha—”

Qi Yu managed only a single syllable before suddenly stopping.

The previous night, Gu Qian had kept teasing and pestering her until almost dawn.

The moment Gu Qian finally fell asleep…

Qi Yu had fled immediately.

She hadn’t had much opportunity to speak until now.

The instant she opened her mouth, the root of her tongue ached.

Her speech felt clumsy.

Qi Yu’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment.

Heat rushed all the way from the back of her neck to the top of her head.

Last night…

We may have overdone it a little.

That terrifying Omega…

“Thank you to everyone who supports me.”

Qi Yu endured the soreness in her tongue and forced herself to smile brightly.

“I hope all of you can spend the rest of your lives together with the person you love.”

Feng Qi noticed something odd about her expression.

Concerned, he asked,

“Little Qi…”

“Did you catch a cold last night?”

“Is your throat bothering you?”

Qi Yu gave an awkward laugh.

She wasn’t sure whether she should simply go along with his explanation.

“Xiaoyu seems to have a mouth ulcer.”

Cool fingertips brushed lightly across the back of Qi Yu’s neck.

As they passed over her scent gland, a fingernail deliberately scraped it ever so gently.

The hand then settled naturally onto Qi Yu’s shoulder.

Gu Qian smiled with all the warmth of a caring older sister.

Tilting her elegant chin slightly, she leaned toward Qi Yu’s ear and whispered softly,

“An ulcer…”

“So your tongue hurts a lot, doesn’t it?”

Under the sunlight, Gu Qian’s usually dark eyes shimmered like rippling water.

The cameraman had probably never seen such a relaxed, content expression on her face before.

He immediately began filming enthusiastically, capturing several close-up shots.

Only Qi Yu could hear the hidden mischief beneath Gu Qian’s gentle tone.

Her face reddened.

She suddenly had no idea what to do with her hands.

Embarrassed, she rubbed the side of her neck.

“I guess I do have an ulcer…”

“I probably haven’t been eating enough fruit.”

“Haha…”

Apparently still annoyed that Qi Yu had escaped in the middle of the night, Gu Qian decided to get her revenge.

Right in front of Feng Qi and the cameraman, she smilingly lifted one slender finger beneath Qi Yu’s chin.

“Open your mouth.”

“I’ll see how serious it is.”

Qi Yu never imagined Gu Qian would be so bold.

She didn’t seem remotely concerned about what fans might think after the video was released.

Her mind went blank.

Almost obediently, she opened her mouth.

Gu Qian’s beautiful, familiar face moved closer.

Warm breath brushed across Qi Yu’s straight nose.

Carrying the delicate fragrance of hibiscus…

It gently swept across the tip of Qi Yu’s trembling tongue.

Watching Qi Yu’s adorably dazed expression, laughter filled Gu Qian’s eyes.

After inspecting her for a moment, she nodded seriously.

“Mm.”

“It isn’t very serious.”

“My assistant bought me a lot of fruit.”

“If you…”

Gu Qian deliberately dragged out the next few words.

Turning her head slightly so the camera couldn’t capture it, she shot Qi Yu a thoroughly wicked smile.

“…can’t manage…”

“…you can come to my room more often and replenish…”

She paused again.

“…your vitamins.”

Qi Yu was absolutely convinced that Gu Qian had just openly flirted with her right in front of Feng Qi and the cameraman.

She had even taken the opportunity to mock her.

Replenish what?

Do I still need replenishing?

The previous night, she’d struggled so desperately to suppress her impulses that she had nearly reversed her blood flow.

Her pheromones had almost gone out of control.

Halfway through, she’d wanted nothing more than to rush into the bathroom and stand beneath freezing water.

By the time she’d returned to her own room…

She’d been so depressed she was almost in tears.

And now?

Her self-restraint was being mercilessly ridiculed.

Although Gu Qian had always maintained the image of someone gentle and approachable…

There was invariably an invisible pane of glass separating her from everyone else.

No one ever dared get too close.

Watching the two of them interact as though no one else existed…

Feng Qi and the cameraman both felt as if they’d just eaten an enormous serving of dog food.

Feng Qi sighed dramatically.

“Wuwuwu… Wife, I miss you.”

“You young people showing off your affection is just too cruel.”

The cameraman nodded enthusiastically.

“Omega × Omega is so addictive.”

“When I edit this later…”

“I’m definitely giving these two even more screen time.”

After everyone in the cast had finished recording their holiday greetings…

Director Wang’s assistant opened the official Weibo account and began drawing lucky winners.

The wishes submitted by fans grew stranger and stranger.

I failed CET-6 QAQ. I just want Best Actress Gu to act cute for a second and heal my soul.

Before my roommate gets a hair transplant, I want Teacher Jiang Lan to sing one line of “The Light of Justice Shines Upon the Earth.”

I want Director Wang to carry Teacher Feng Qi in a princess carry.

Will I ever live long enough to see Yubao kiss Senior Gu? Wuwuwu.

I’m waiting for Teacher Gu to pin Little Qi against a wall!

The requests became increasingly outrageous.

Qi Yu read them with growing alarm.

Fortunately…

The unfortunate victims chosen first were all other members of the cast.

Then…

The final winning fan’s request appeared.

Qi Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Thankfully…

This fan was comparatively kind.

Instead of asking for anything excessive…

They simply requested that Qi Yu recreate the classic confession scene from the very first film Gu Qian had starred in after her debut.

It had been a romance about two divers who grew up together.

The female lead had originally been a lonely young diver from a small town.

One day…

A far more gifted girl moved there.

The two became diving partners.

As they spent more time together, the female lead quietly fell in love with her partner.

She trained day and night to catch up.

Years later…

Together, they stood atop the podium as national champions in synchronized diving.

The fan wanted Qi Yu to reenact the heroine’s confession from the film’s ending.

Every acting student at Capital Film University knew those lines by heart.

Naturally…

Qi Yu remembered them perfectly.

Even now, she still occasionally recalled the first time she’d seen Gu Qian on the big screen.

Her face had seemed dusted with countless tiny stars.

So distant…

Yet capable of capturing everyone’s heart completely.

Feng Qi laughed.

“How come my fan wanted me carried around in a princess carry…”

“…but Little Qi’s fan came up with something this gentle?”

“Come on, Little Qi.”

Director Wang joined in with a grin.

“Don’t tell me a student from Capital Film University’s acting department can’t recite that line.”

Qi Yu was completely cornered.

And so…

Before the dark camera lens…

Under the affectionate yet teasing gazes of her seniors…

Amid the carefree laughter of the crew…

She heard herself speak.

“One day, I met you.

And suddenly, a single star began shining in my lonely night sky.

But I knew…

You were a traveler who had crossed tens of thousands of light-years to keep a promise.

I don’t know whether someone as ordinary as me deserves to encounter a star like you.

But if I could move just a little closer to you…

I would do so without hesitation.”
