After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 20

Walking along the country path and admiring the rural scenery—

This kind of leisurely feeling could indeed ease the suffocating pressure brought by the fast pace of city life.

For a moment, even the air seemed to become much fresher.

If not for the many cameras from the production team filming them, it really would have been a rare chance to relax.

As Shen Zhibei walked, she unknowingly fell behind the group while looking at the scenery.

“You like it here?”

Gu Nan’s voice sounded beside Shen Zhibei’s ear.

“Mm. It’s very relaxing.” Shen Zhibei reached up and tucked a few loose strands of hair back into place.

Her soft voice, paired with her fluttering white dress and long hair stirred by the breeze—

The netizens in the livestream room were directly hit hard by Shen Zhibei’s beauty.

[Ahhh! I won’t say anything else. I just want to take Gu Nan out and replace her myself!]

[Mom, I’m in love. It’s this Omega. I’ve fallen for her.]

[Does this kind of beauty really exist? Wuwuwu, why did Shen Zhibei get carefully sculpted by Nuwa when humans were created, while I’m just a mud splatter she casually flicked away?]

[Everyone, let’s crowdfund. One yuan each. We’ll soon collect enough money to hire a killer. Then we can get rid of Gu Nan, that scumbag Alpha!]

[Although I’m also an Omega, I’ve already thought of the names of our future children.]

[If the person above had eaten even one peanut, they wouldn’t be this drunk.]

Although Gu Nan had also been dazed for a moment by Shen Zhibei’s beauty, after seeing it for long enough, she had still built up some resistance. So she very seriously asked about something practical.

“Did you bring mosquito repellent spray?”

“I didn’t. Do you need to use it?” Shen Zhibei still innocently thought that Gu Nan wanted to use it herself.

“I didn’t bring any either.” Gu Nan first made it clear that she did not have any, then continued, “What I mean is, if you’re wearing a dress and didn’t bring mosquito repellent, and now it’s getting late, there’ll be a lot of mosquitoes in the countryside at night. Don’t you feel like this outfit leaves too much skin exposed and you’ll get bitten by mosquitoes?”

Originally, Shen Zhibei had not felt anything. But after Gu Nan said that, she suddenly felt as if mosquitoes were about to bite her at any moment.

In an instant, the previously beautiful countryside scenery seemed to hide “killing intent” everywhere.

“Then do you have any solution?”

“Other than changing clothes, there’s no other way.” Gu Nan spread her hands.

“You might as well not have said anything. Where am I supposed to change clothes now?” Shen Zhibei rubbed her arms.

Actually, what she wanted to protect even more were her legs, but they were currently being filmed by cameras, so she could not do anything.

“I thought of it, so I told you so you could pay attention.” Gu Nan was still talking. “But well, you’re moving right now. As long as you keep moving, mosquitoes usually won’t bite.”

“Are you sure?” Shen Zhibei sought reassurance.

Sticking to a realistic attitude, Gu Nan naturally said, “Not sure. I have the kind of constitution that attracts mosquitoes. Sometimes I still get bitten even when I’m moving.”

Shen Zhibei took a deep breath and felt that she should not continue discussing this with Gu Nan. Otherwise, if she got angry and did something that damaged her image, what would she do?

This was a livestream.

Shen Zhibei still had an idol image to maintain.

“Go to the front and walk with the other guests,” she said very gently.

“Why?” Gu Nan knowingly asked.

The moment she saw Shen Zhibei taking a deep breath, Gu Nan knew she was regulating her emotions.

Although she did not feel that she had said anything wrong.

But Shen Zhibei was under the cameras now and had to maintain her image. If Gu Nan did not bully her now, when would she?

Let’s see how you tattle to the parents!

Thinking this, Gu Nan revealed a smile and said, “I’d rather walk with you. I can also take care of you.”

“If you keep talking, tomorrow morning I’ll change to a bottle of perfume.” Shen Zhibei maintained a gentle smile and raised one finger. “I’ll use an entire bottle.”

Gu Nan’s smile froze on her face.

“That counts as repaying kindness with enmity. I helped you so much last night, and this is how you treat me? I refuse to accept it!”

“I’m just testing the effect right now, so you won’t say I only know how to use one method.” Shen Zhibei’s gaze circled Gu Nan’s face. She really did think of Gu Nan last night, who had been both hateful and reliable at the same time.

Her face immediately reddened a little, and she seriously thought about whether she really counted as repaying kindness with enmity.

In the end, she concluded that Gu Nan was still more hateful, so it did not count.

“Judging from your reaction, it really is very useful. Next time, if you…”

Shen Zhibei mumbled something vaguely. Even Gu Nan, who was standing so close, did not hear it clearly.

When Gu Nan asked, “What did you say?” Shen Zhibei ignored her and continued, “I’ll really use it.”

After saying that, Shen Zhibei very coolly wanted to drag her luggage and hurry a few steps to catch up with the main group. But she forgot about the wound on her right palm.

“Hiss!”

That hard grip directly squeezed the wound, making her suck in a breath from the pain and clutch her hand while waiting for the pain to pass.

This development even made Gu Nan laugh.

She pulled Shen Zhibei’s suitcase over and helped her drag it. As she slowly continued walking forward, she said, “The cycle of heaven is fair, and retribution never misses.”

“Say that again!” Shen Zhibei, who had originally still been in pain, immediately stopped hurting and quickened her steps to chase after Gu Nan.

Peng Yushu had originally wanted to find Shen Zhibei to talk, only to see the two people at the very back muttering to each other, no one knew what about.

“Zhibei, Gu Nan, hurry over. We’re about to enter the village.”

“All right, we’re coming.”

Gu Nan already had no good image in front of the public anyway. Her image had fallen to rock bottom, so why bother managing it?

Seeing Shen Zhibei walking over quickly, she directly dragged both suitcases and ran forward.

As she ran, she took advantage of the fact that Shen Zhibei absolutely would not do anything that ruined her image in front of the cameras and provoked her, “Sister, you have to catch up faster.”

[Why did they call them? Why?! Let them keep talking!]

[There’s definitely a story in that conversation. As a noble VIP member, what is there that I can’t hear? Come back and keep talking!]

[What exactly happened last night? If she does what again, then what will happen? Don’t be riddle masters!]

[I originally said that if these two really had a good relationship, I’d eat my keyboard. Now it looks like their relationship really is pretty good. Do I really have to eat my keyboard?]

[Observe a little more. The past few days might still be acting.]

[Covering face. This pair seems a little sweet. I already want to get into it.]

[Nanbei CP is supreme! I’ll carry the banner for Nanbei CP! Welcome, sisters, to join our big Nanbei CP family.]

[Oh my god, I’m dying to know what happened between them last night.]

[Everyone, listen! She called her “Sister.” It fits that saying perfectly: calling her Sister under the bed, and on the bed, hehe.]

Shen Zhibei soon caught up and reached out to take her suitcase back.

“I’ll do it.” Gu Nan dodged Shen Zhibei’s hand. “It would be bad if you grabbed your wound again.”

Because speaking quietly would still be picked up by the microphones they were wearing, Shen Zhibei did not say anything.

She only thought silently: It’s no use trying to please me now. Just you wait.

For some reason, Gu Nan felt a chill run down her back.

After entering the village, the six of them casually found a house with smoke rising from the chimney and knocked on the door, preparing to ask for directions.

An old man came out to open the door.

“Sir, may I ask where Tang Chunhua’s home is?” Among the group, the oldest, Peng Yushu, took on the task of being the external communications ambassador.

The old man spoke in dialect while gesturing. After saying a whole bunch, everyone failed to understand even a single sentence.

After talking for a long time, they could only roughly continue walking in the direction the old man had pointed.

As they walked, they knocked on doors along the way. The ones who opened the doors were all elderly people.

“Have all the working-age people in this village gone out to work?” Gu Nan asked the production staff.

The production team was still very willing to answer this question, especially since it also involved promoting the village later.

“Yingpan Village is a poor ethnic minority village, mainly inhabited by the Yi, Wa, and Miao peoples. The main language is Yi. Most of the young and middle-aged labor force work in other provinces to earn money, so most of the people left in the village are elderly people and children.”

“As for the labor force still remaining in the village, most of them rely mainly on growing American ginseng for their livelihood.”

Gu Nan nodded. In the script they had received, it had also been written that one day they would go harvest American ginseng, using the celebrity effect to find more sales channels for Yingpan Village’s American ginseng.

Shen Zhibei was walking beside Gu Nan. Hearing the production team’s explanation, she asked, “If the main language is Yi, then among them, there are people who can speak Mandarin, right?”

The other guests also heard Shen Zhibei’s question.

Originally, they had still been wondering why their luck was so bad, after knocking on several doors in a row only to have elderly people who only spoke dialect open them.

Looking at it now, it was not their problem.

“You didn’t really throw us into a village that only speaks dialect, did you?” Peng Yushu asked suspiciously.

“Our production team is a proper production team. We don’t do things that make life difficult for the guests,” the chief director said righteously.

When everyone heard this, they all could not help sneering, expressing their disbelief.

“Then tell us, why haven’t we met anyone who can communicate with us?” Lu Xuehai also followed up.

“Exactly, explain!”

“Hurry and tell us!”

Under everyone’s questioning, the production team finally told the truth. “In this village, most of the elderly people only know how to speak Yi. Mandarin is only spoken by those who attended public school, so the chance of encountering them is indeed relatively low. But school is about to let out now, so you should soon be able to meet the village children.”

Everyone was doubtful, but after discussing it, they decided to trust the production team one last time.

They walked for a long while longer before finally encountering a group of children carrying schoolbags and skipping along the road.

These children were all dark and thin, and they were each carrying a pile of vegetables in their arms.

“Candy, candy, candy! Did anyone bring candy or snacks?” Peng Yushu hurriedly said.

Shen Zhibei and Lu Xuehai, who were managing their diets, naturally had not brought any.

Gu Nan dug out a packet of beef jerky, while Bai Rui and Tang Ling took out potato chips and prunes.

“Beautifully done.” Peng Yushu praised them, then carried the snacks over to ask the children for information.

“Kids, may I ask if you know where Tang Chunhua’s home is?”

At first, when the children saw the cameras and the snacks being offered to them, they were very shy and did not want to accept them.

But under Peng Yushu’s insistence, they finally took them. After being bought over by the snacks, they began seriously thinking about who Tang Chunhua was.

In the end, one child frowned, sucked on a preserved plum, and said indistinctly, “The one you’re looking for… could it be Meng Awu’s house up on the slope? I heard my mom say that Meng Awu’s surname used to be Tang.”

“Huh? Is it that ghost building?”

“Are you really looking for that place?”

The children chattered all at once.

At this moment, the six of them could no longer hear what the children were saying. Just hearing the words “ghost house” made them all look at the production team in disbelief.

You’re making us stay in a haunted house!!!
