After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 29

[Ahhhhhh, I’m going to faint from shipping them. This is the advantage of shipping a real married couple CP, isn’t it? Other people have to dig for sugar from the cracks, but we ship a real married couple, so the real people directly feed us sugar. If you don’t eat it, the real people will personally take a fork and shove the sugar down your throat.]

[Sister, hurry and open your mouth. Your kid has already fed it to your lips. Don’t be shy just because we’re watching. We’re not people!]

[Ah, I’m so excited right now that I feel like I’m about to spiral straight into the sky. My CP is truly so sweet without even meaning to be!]

[I swear here and now, once today’s livestream ends, I’m going to edit a video for my beloved Nanbei CP. I won’t sleep until the video is done!]

[Madam, food, hungry.]

Shen Zhibei was startled by the spoon suddenly brought to her lips. When she looked up, she saw Gu Nan’s carefree expression, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what she had done.

However, for a normal wife-and-wife pair, there really was nothing wrong with this action.

She glanced again at the many cameras aimed at them, then slowly opened her mouth and drank the spoonful of fish soup Gu Nan fed her.

“How is it? Is the saltiness enough?”

The delicious fish soup made Shen Zhibei’s eyes light up, and she completely forgot about Gu Nan’s act of feeding her soup just now. “It tastes good. This flavor is perfect for soup.”

Shen Zhibei’s eyes sparkled because she had drunk delicious fish soup. Seeing this made Gu Nan happy, so she scooped up another spoonful and fed it to her.

Following Gu Nan’s hand, Shen Zhibei took another sip.

“All right, you can’t drink anymore.” Looking at Shen Zhibei’s little gaze that seemed as if she still wanted more, Gu Nan deliberately said, “I need to wash the pot and stir-fry the vegetables later.”

Shen Zhibei’s self-control was still very strong. She also knew that one sip counted as tasting the flavor, but two more sips would count as stealing food.

After looking a couple more times at the two full basins of fish soup, she turned back and continued cutting vegetables.

“You stir-fry the vegetables. I’m almost done cutting the potatoes. I can handle the smashed cucumber later.”

Gu Nan was already scooping water into the large iron pot to wash it. She looked back at Shen Zhibei, who was cutting potato shreds at a very fast “duk-duk-duk-duk” rhythm.

“Your potato shreds are so thin. Logically speaking, you debuted as an actress very early, so you probably didn’t have much time to cook at home, right? How can you cut potato shreds so finely? Even I, a great chef, can’t cut them this thin.”

Shen Zhibei’s hands did not stop, but the moment she heard that question, her mood was no longer as good as when she had drunk the fish soup. Still, her tone remained calm. “I started cooking when I was very little.”

Gu Nan immediately knew her words had made Shen Zhibei think of unhappy memories from her childhood and adolescence, so she quickly shut her mouth.

After pouring out the water she had used to wash the pot, she waited for the pot to dry before adding oil and starting to stir-fry the sweet potato leaves.

Seeing that Shen Zhibei still did not look cheerful—though perhaps cutting vegetables did not require smiling and she was merely focused—Gu Nan still felt that what she had said just now had ruined Shen Zhibei’s mood.

Finding a gap, she asked, “Teacher Peng went to ask about dishes. Why hasn’t he come back after so long?”

“Of course it’s to create more time for you two to spend alone.” At this moment, Peng Yushu also walked in from the doorway.

“Did you happen to come in right when you heard that, or have you been lying in ambush outside for a long time?” Thinking of the incident last night when Lu Xuehai had squatted to one side and watched the two of them for ages, Gu Nan asked warily.

“Of course…” Peng Yushu deliberately dragged out his tone. Seeing Shen Zhibei also nervously shift her gaze over, he finally said, “I just arrived.”

Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei both let out a sigh of relief.

At least there had not been another awkward incident where someone had been watching them outside for ages before coming out, and when asked, said it was because they were afraid of disturbing the atmosphere between them.

[Teacher Peng is lying! He’s a bad person. Everyone, let’s condemn him! He clearly started watching from the fish soup feeding scene, but he didn’t say anything. He even tricked the two cuties by saying he had just arrived, hahahaha.]

[Teacher Peng is already this old, yet he still had to poke his head around outside the door for ages and not dare come in. Isn’t that all for the sake of Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s thin faces? (doge)]

[This really is a sincere emotion. I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.]

[Tears from laughing, right? Hahaha.]

[I wonder whether these two will rewatch their own livestream after going home. I really want to know what expressions and thoughts this wife-and-wife pair will have when they see this part, hahahaha.]

Knowing that Peng Yushu had only just arrived, Gu Nan relaxed and added the chopped garlic into the hot oil to stir-fry until fragrant while asking, “Did you get any results from asking?”

“Of course I did.” Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Peng Yushu also took a spoon and tasted a sip of the soup. “Mm, delicious. As expected of our team’s great chef.”

After praising Gu Nan, he continued, “Tang Ling can’t live without meat. As for Xuehai, he said he won’t eat rice, so just steam him some more pumpkin. Bai Rui…”

“The dishes they ordered are all too easy. They don’t show off my skills as a great chef at all.” As Gu Nan spoke, she poured the sweet potato leaves into the pot and began stir-frying.

Peng Yushu could not help roasting her. “Praise you a little, and you really start getting full of yourself.”

“Did you praise me for even one minute? You’re denying it already?” Gu Nan’s mouth did not stop, and neither did her hands.

She added a little water to the vegetables, then salt and a small amount of light soy sauce. After stir-frying for a while, the dish was also ready.

“Then what’s your specialty dish?” Peng Yushu asked curiously.

“Braised pork belly,” Gu Nan said with great pride. “I’m especially good at caramelizing the sugar.”

When Gu Nan was still in her previous world, before graduating, after completing a big translation job, she would reward herself by making a meal of braised pork belly. Later, after she officially started working and money was no longer as tight, she still did not change the habit of making braised pork belly to reward herself.

The main reason was that, among hard dishes, braised pork belly was a dish with a relatively simple cooking method and very cheap ingredients. Because she made it often, she slowly got better and better at it. Even the more complicated step of caramelizing the sugar could be done very well.

“Wow.” Peng Yushu let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration. Then his eyes drifted toward the chief director from time to time as he said meaningfully, “Then when will we get to eat Gu Nan’s braised pork belly?”

The chief director naturally received Peng Yushu’s signal and made an “OK” gesture at him.

The meaning was: I’ll arrange it for you.

Peng Yushu was very satisfied.

“Aiya!” Gu Nan, who had already begun stir-frying the shredded potatoes, suddenly cried out.

“What happened? Did you burn yourself?” Shen Zhibei immediately put down the cucumber she was mixing and walked quickly to Gu Nan’s side to ask.

“No. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask if anyone likes spicy food. I could have stir-fried a separate spicy dish. Otherwise, why did we pick so many chili peppers?”

Although Shen Zhibei expressed some disdain toward Gu Nan making such a fuss, the moment she heard the words chili peppers, she immediately said, “I can eat it.”

Gu Nan rejected her without even thinking. “You can’t. You have stomach problems, so why eat chili peppers? I smelled them just now. These peppers are pretty spicy.”

Shen Zhibei: …

What could she do? This was for the good of her stomach.

Shen Zhibei silently retreated and went back to mixing the cucumber.

The dishes were quickly finished. Only the steamed pumpkin needed more than half an hour to steam.

“We can only let Brother Xuehai wait a little longer.”

“Let him eat some vegetables first.” Peng Yushu picked up two plates of food and prepared to head back.

Peng Yushu had long wanted to start eating. But in the kitchen, because of the cameras, he could not eat his fill while each dish was being finished. This was simply the greatest insult to a chef.

Once all the dishes were carried to the mahjong room, the camera gave a close-up of all the dishes laid out on the mahjong table. They really did look very appetizing.

[I didn’t expect that when Little Princess said she could cook, she really could cook well.]

[Don’t call her Little Princess anymore. That’s an anti nickname.]

[Actually, I don’t think Gu Nan looks like a little princess. Bai Rui looks more like one. Don’t argue with me. If you argue, you’re right.]

[The person who sent that bullet comment is truly a werewolf. You actually dare say that about Bai Rui. Bai Rui’s fans have ten seconds before arriving on the battlefield.]

[Are you Gu Nan’s fan? Gu Nan being a little princess is publicly acknowledged. Ruirui has never been like Gu Nan!]

[See? They’ve arrived on the battlefield. Lighting cigarette.]

What had been poured into everyone’s glass cups was fish soup.

“Everyone, for this rich feast, first, we have to thank our great chef.” Peng Yushu was the first to raise his cup. “Let’s toast!”

The other five raised their cups in response. “Thank you, great chef!”

Gu Nan smiled and also joined in the fun by shouting, “Thank you, me!”

The fish soup in their cups was still very hot. They said they were toasting, but in truth, the six of them all had to blow on it again and again before they could drink some.

They could not actually drain their cups. If they really did, they might burn their throats.

Once the fresh and delicious fish soup entered their stomachs, their already hungry bellies immediately rebelled even more.

Tang Ling, who could eat quite a lot, could no longer wait and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

This table of dishes was all very light, and no chili peppers had been added, so everyone could eat them.

“Here, give me some of your rice.” Gu Nan moved her bowl beside Shen Zhibei’s bowl.

Shen Zhibei’s rice had not been touched yet, and her chopsticks had not been used either, so she very comfortably gave Gu Nan more than half a bowl. But looking at the amount of rice in Gu Nan’s bowl now, she asked worriedly, “This is so much. Can you really finish it?”

The bowl they were using was much larger than the bowls used in the Gu family. At the Gu family, she had never seen Gu Nan get more rice; she always ate one bowl’s worth.

“I can. I really am pretty hungry.” Gu Nan’s chopsticks had not been used either, so she picked up a piece of cucumber that Shen Zhibei had mixed and placed it in her bowl. “Hurry and eat.”

While Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei were dawdling here, half of Tang Ling’s rice was already gone.

From the moment this brother began moving his chopsticks, his mouth had not stopped. He did not even speak and just kept eating.

Even Lu Xuehai only skipped the rice, but he picked some of every dish and began eating too.

The physical exertion these past two days had been too great. Even this model, who was always dieting, was starting to be unable to hold on.

The meal lasted a full half hour. They had originally said they would make more, and if some dishes were left, then so be it, as it would help reduce the cooking burden tonight. In the end, nothing was left. Everything was completely cleaned up by Tang Ling.

Looking at the empty bowls and plates across the table, everyone could hardly believe that they had eaten so much.

As the main forces behind making the meal, Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei could naturally enjoy a bit of leisure after eating.

Peng Yushu, who had not really participated in cooking or washing vegetables, volunteered to wash the dishes.

Tang Ling used Bai Rui’s injured hand as a reason and followed Peng Yushu to wash the dishes. Lu Xuehai went to get his exclusive steamed pumpkin and also fill a few more thermoses with hot water to bring back.

For a moment, only Gu Nan, Shen Zhibei, and Bai Rui were left in the small building, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

“Let’s go back to the room and rest for a bit. We still have to harvest American ginseng this afternoon.”

Ever since Bai Rui had given her that charming gaze, Gu Nan did not really want herself and Shen Zhibei to stay together with Bai Rui, especially in such an awkward atmosphere.

So after saying this, she turned to ask the production team, “You can tell us the time for harvesting, right?”

“Arrive at Yingpan Village’s American ginseng planting base by three o’clock,” the production team said. They were not stingy about informing them of this time.

“Then we can sleep a little.” Gu Nan looked expectantly at Shen Zhibei. “Zhibei, do you want to go back to the room and take a nap?”

[? Isn’t there something a little wrong with what Gu Nan said? I feel like I’m about to change color.]

[Ahhhhh! Other than screaming, I can’t say any other suggestive lines right now.]

[Sister, hurry and look at your kid’s expectant puppy eyes. Agree, hurry and agree! Hurry and continue broadcasting it for me!]

[Although I know that with the cameras pointed at them, there won’t be any restricted scenes, those words really make people unable to help thinking crooked thoughts.]

Shen Zhibei did not think crookedly like the audience in the bullet comments. Because she was sitting right beside Gu Nan, she could feel that Gu Nan wanted to go back to the room with her, not continue staying with Bai Rui in this awkwardness.

Shen Zhibei liked this attitude very much, so she agreed.

The two politely exchanged a few words with Bai Rui, then returned to their room.

Gu Nan even paid special attention to where Bai Rui went after they returned to their room.

Seeing Bai Rui walk outside, she quietly gossiped to Shen Zhibei, “Is she going to find Tang Ling, or Lu Xuehai?”

“Don’t pay so much attention to other people’s business,” Shen Zhibei educated her seriously.

Wanting to gossip a little with Shen Zhibei, only to be educated, Gu Nan could only answer pitifully, “Oh.”

Although there was a camera in the room, the camera operator would not follow them inside.

Looking at the soft bed, Shen Zhibei, who had originally only followed Gu Nan back to the room to rest, also developed the urge to sleep for a while.

“Gu Nan, cover the camera. Let’s not broadcast our nap.”

Shen Zhibei shook out the folded blanket and spread it properly again, then took new clothes from her suitcase, preparing to change out of the clothes on her body that had been soaked with sweat.

“Friends in the audience, you all heard that.” Gu Nan held a towel and faced the room’s camera. “We’re going to change clothes and take a nap, so the camera needs to be covered. Everyone watching my and Shen Zhibei’s livestream room, please switch to another channel. Be good, bye-bye.”

[No! In the morning, you kept the camera covered the whole time, and we didn’t get to see much of the full view of the room. By the time the cover was taken off, you left the room, and it directly switched to the camera operator’s footage. Can you let us see a little more?]

[Don’t! Think about your screen time. You’re celebrities, hurry and compete for screen time!]

[We won’t be good. If you dare cover the camera, we’re going to make a fuss!]

[We just want to see two beautiful women being close, tightly close. So even if it’s only watching you sleep, that’s fine too. Don’t cover it! Please, I’m begging you. Don’t do this. Treat the cute audience watching you a little better.]

Gu Nan could not see the livestream bullet comments full of wails, so the moment the words “bye-bye” left her mouth, she covered the camera with the towel, covering it tightly. She even carefully checked once, afraid she had missed something.

“Remember to turn off your mic. Don’t forget this time.”

Shen Zhibei had turned off her own, but she still remembered the consequences from last time when Gu Nan forgot to remove her mic.

Gu Nan had already pulled the curtains shut, instantly dimming the room a little and making it more suitable for sleep.

“I won’t forget.”

Because the two of them had not turned off their mics yet, it was inconvenient to talk about avoiding each other while changing clothes. So Shen Zhibei first pointed at the mic clipped to her waist, then made a speaking gesture.

Gu Nan understood immediately and removed and turned off her mic in one smooth motion.

Now, the audience still squatting in the livestream room could no longer hear even the slightest sound.

Ordinary viewers could switch channels to watch someone else, but Shen Zhibei’s fans were here because they wanted to watch Shen Zhibei. Now that they could not see her, they directly chose to go to Big-Eye and battle Bai Rui’s fans.

With no camera, no mic, and no other people, the two instantly felt much less restrained.

After saying a few words, they turned their backs to each other, each changed into a set of clothes, and quickly lay down in the already-made bed.

The moment Shen Zhibei lay on the bed, drowsiness began to surge up, but a sudden feeling of heat also made her very uncomfortable.

These past two days, this feeling of heat had appeared from time to time. Each time, she had forced herself through it, and she had also been spraying more and more long-acting heat suppressant.

Under the blanket, Shen Zhibei secretly looked toward Gu Nan beside her, who had taken out her phone and was doing something unknown.

She no longer disliked Gu Nan approaching her now. Otherwise, she would have made Gu Nan sleep on the floor long ago. Would she have helped her change the bedsheet, duvet cover, and pillowcases otherwise?

This hateful person still had not reacted.

And she knew Shen Zhibei was in her heat period, yet she did not show concern, nor did she ask whether she needed help.

Although Shen Zhibei might say she did not need it, wasn’t asking and observing something Gu Nan, as an Alpha, should do?

Shen Zhibei pursed her lips. What a useless Alpha. Not even as useful as a long-acting heat suppressant.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, she still felt very uncomfortable. Shen Zhibei got out of bed, preparing to take the long-acting heat suppressant from her suitcase.

In the room now, she did not have to worry about anyone else seeing, so there was no need to painfully endure it by herself.

Gu Nan’s original intention had been to stay away from Bai Rui and go back to the room to rest. She had not truly planned to sleep. The moment she lay down on the bed, she took out her phone, wanting to waste a little battery and play for a while.

Anyway, recording for this episode should end tomorrow afternoon, and then there would be electricity. Thinking this, Gu Nan turned on her phone.

The first thing she had to do was look up the two books Peng Yushu had recommended last night. She was quite curious about how those two books were written.

What were they called again?

Gu Nan thought for a long time.

They seemed to be called How to Effectively Soothe an Omega in Heat and How to Be a Qualified Alpha.

When she searched, those two books really existed. However, in the author column, both were written by Peng Yushu.

There was absolutely no mistake now. She did not even need to wonder whether she had bought the wrong books.

But she had only heard that Teacher Peng was a singer. She had never heard he was a writer too. Could it be that he had just changed careers?

Gu Nan immediately understood. No wonder he had told her to buy these two books.

She directly added both books to her shopping cart, clicked purchase, then downloaded the electronic versions, preparing to study.

Although she had just teased Teacher Peng in her heart, after actually reading, Gu Nan truly felt that these books were written quite well.

The main thing was that they were not dry, and they were written from his identity and experience as an Omega. Various little stories were also interwoven throughout.

Of course Gu Nan, sharing the same bed with Shen Zhibei, knew what Shen Zhibei was doing.

When Shen Zhibei had been tossing around just now, Gu Nan had only thought she could not sleep or was physically uncomfortable. But then Shen Zhibei got out of bed, and Gu Nan’s worried gaze followed her.

Watching her bend down and take the bottle of long-acting heat suppressant from her suitcase…

Gu Nan looked again at the “textbook” she had just been studying, and inspiration suddenly struck.

She understood this!
