After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 34

After eating and drinking their fill, walking along this little path—even though they were going uphill—was still a little tiring.

But breathing in the fresh air, with evening approaching and a cool breeze brushing against their faces, still felt very comfortable.

Besides, the group walked and stopped as they pleased, not in a rush at all.

The chief director had already adjusted her mentality and caught up with the other members of the production team.

“Everyone, everyone. Actually, tonight, we prepared a gift for all of you.”

Why do we not believe that at all?

At this moment, the six of them had extremely unified expressions in their eyes: disbelief.

Especially at this stage, when they had just made the production team return in defeat.

How could the production team possibly have prepared a gift for them? It would already be good enough if they did not mess with them.

Facing the distrustful gazes of the guests, the chief director still told the truth.

“All right. Actually, it can also be considered a small activity plus a mini-game.”

Although she wanted to let the guests know how formidable the production team was, that was a matter for the next episode.

Everything for this episode had already been prepared. Especially while they had gone to the planting base, the production team had prepared all kinds of props for the plot point they planned to show the audience tonight. It would be bad to waste them.

“A small activity plus a mini-game?” Peng Yushu asked warily. “What is it? Can you tell us in advance?”

“There are gifts too,” the chief director emphasized.

“Don’t talk about gifts. Talk about the game. What game is it?” Gu Nan asked next.

“If I tell you now, there won’t be the feeling of surprise anymore.”

“I’m afraid there will only be shock and no delight.” Shen Zhibei looked at the chief director’s expression suspiciously. “Are you trying to make us go up there, see your setup, and then let out a surprised ‘wow’?”

“How could that be?”

Although the chief director said no, that was naturally what she was thinking in her heart, so a little of it inevitably showed on her face.

“Then you can forget it. Gu Nan’s acting is bad. When the time comes, the audience will know it’s especially fake just by looking at Gu Nan’s expression.” Shen Zhibei did not just stab the chief director in the heart. She also stabbed Gu Nan in the heart.

Gu Nan’s face was full of innocence. “This… what does this have to do with me? Zhibei, you’re hurting the innocent.”

Shen Zhibei still remembered Gu Nan being sarcastic about her age earlier. At this moment, seeing Gu Nan’s innocent face, she snorted and continued walking forward.

“Great-aunt, how did I provoke you again?” Gu Nan quickly chased after her.

Shen Zhibei glared at her. “Why are you calling me great-aunt? Am I that old?”

“That’s just an affectionate nickname. It means I admit defeat to you.” Gu Nan hurriedly explained.

Of course Shen Zhibei knew that, but she just felt uncomfortable hearing Gu Nan use words related to being old. She glanced sideways at her and said, “Oh? Then why did you choose that word?”

Gu Nan wanted to cry but had no tears. “I just casually said it. Zhibei, what’s wrong? Why are you roasting me so much?”

“Go think about it yourself!” Shen Zhibei walked around Gu Nan and went over to Peng Yushu’s side.

[Oh oh oh! Here it comes, here it comes. A classic line: go think about it yourself. Hahahahaha, I’m going to die laughing.]

[I said Gu Nan was dead for sure, not even Jesus could save her. See? The aftereffects came so quickly.]

[Look, this is a negative teaching example of speaking without thinking. Children, don’t learn from her. Pointing.]

[Gu Nan is really pitiful, but watching it feels so good. Sister Zhibei, please don’t go easy. Keep roasting her, keep torturing her. I want to see Gu Nan cry. Just imagine an Alpha being bullied by an Omega until she cries. Damn, I can’t. I want to see it too much.]

[Hiss! The person above is too evil. But to be honest, this also hits my preferences. I also really want to see an Alpha crying pitifully, hehehe.]

Amid Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s entanglement, the uphill stretch was soon finished.

The staff left on the slope saw the guests return and led them to the backyard of the small building.

At this moment, a small bonfire had already been lit in the backyard. On the rack beside the bonfire, there were several skewers of corn.

Around the bonfire, the production team had spread out several large picnic blankets. Put together, they were large enough for the guests to roll around on.

“This is the gift you were talking about?” Gu Nan picked up the few raw corn skewers and asked. “There isn’t even any meat or other vegetables, and you’re calling this a gift?”

“That’s true.” Peng Yushu had already grown tired from climbing the slope and was lying on the picnic blanket. At this moment, he lazily said, “If we hadn’t beautifully feasted on the production team’s meat today, you wouldn’t have wanted to give us even a little meat. Now you’re giving us some corn to fill our stomachs. That really does count as a gift.”

Everyone from the production team ignored them. One by one, they began looking at the sky, the ground—anywhere but at the guests.

The chief director, however, made a nine gesture, meaning the guests should play here until nine o’clock to give them footage.

Peng Yushu’s lounging posture infected every guest.

The group lay side by side on the picnic blanket, looking at the stars in the sky. The firelight from the bonfire shone on everyone’s cheeks.

Under this atmosphere, the mountaintop night, accompanied by the chirping of insects, seemed peaceful and warm.

“It’s been a long time…”

Gu Nan turned her head and looked at Shen Zhibei’s side profile, her voice a little drifting.

“Mm.” Shen Zhibei also turned her head to look at Gu Nan. Seeing her looking half-asleep, with an obedient expression, she could not help saying softly, “Sleepy?”

“Mm, I want to sleep.” Ever since Gu Nan had lain down, her eyes had been a little hard to keep open.

“Then sleep.” Shen Zhibei turned over to face Gu Nan. Then she felt her leg sweep against something when she turned.

“What’s that?”

Shen Zhibei sat up and searched there, finding an inconspicuous paper box. Looking closer, she saw eight words written on it. “Truth or Dare Cards? This is the mini-game you mentioned, right?”

The chief director did not speak, but she made gestures for Shen Zhibei to open the box and play for a while.

Shen Zhibei tossed the somewhat weighty paper box in her hand. She had absolutely no interest in opening it. Then, under the chief director’s gaze that went from expectant to dead, she directly placed it on the rack holding the corn.

When she returned to her original spot and lay down, Gu Nan had already closed her eyes.

She did not know whether Gu Nan had fallen asleep or was just resting with her eyes closed.

As if sensing Shen Zhibei’s gaze, Gu Nan said with her eyes closed, “I want to sleep, but I can’t.”

After lying down for a while, Peng Yushu had recovered his energy.

He had already taken the Truth or Dare cards Shen Zhibei had placed on the rack out of the box and begun looking through the truths and dares written on them.

Hearing Gu Nan say this, he immediately said, “Since you want to sleep but can’t, let’s play this for a while. There’s nothing else to do anyway, and from what I can see, the things written on them are pretty interesting.”

The chief director had not expected that the one to suggest everyone play the game would be Peng Yushu, the person who had loved making trouble the most since the show started filming.

Sure enough, older comrades could be trusted!

If Peng Yushu knew what the chief director was thinking, he would definitely say that he only wanted to hear some gossip. He was not trying to give the production team explosive footage. She was really overthinking it.

Because he did not know, he happily organized the round.

“We’ll do palms and backs of hands. If one person is different, that person draws directly. If two people are different, then they play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser draws. Whatever card you draw is what you get. You can’t switch, and you can’t choose whether it’s truth or dare.” Peng Yushu explained the rules. “How is it? Is everyone playing?”

Of course, this game was fun only if everyone played together.

Also, if someone only sat to the side listening to other people reveal things but did not play, wouldn’t the person revealing things suffer too much of a loss?

Gu Nan had also sat up now. Thinking that she did not seem to have anything unspeakable, she was not resistant to this game. “Then let’s do it.”

“Let’s go.”

Everyone reached an agreement and sat together in a circle.

[Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes! My god, the exciting Truth or Dare has arrived!]

[I wonder what unknown secrets will be revealed. Excitedly rubbing hands.]

[What’s so interesting about this kind of thing? If they draw something they don’t want to say, won’t they just lie?]

[Whether it’s true or false, we’ll judge for ourselves. Besides, it’s enough that we like watching this game. If you think it’s fake, you can choose not to watch.]

[This faithful woman is willing to eat vegetarian for twenty-four hours in exchange for my Nanbei CP drawing any one of kissing, hugging, or lifting each other up!]

Peng Yushu flipped all the cards face down, then thoroughly shuffled their order. “All right, let’s begin. Whatever you draw later, you have to show it.”

“Palms and backs!”

The other five all showed palms. Only Tang Ling showed the back of his hand.

“Then I’ll give everyone a demonstration first.” Tang Ling rubbed his hands together. “I hope I get a dare.”

Tang Ling forcefully drew a card. After looking at it, he immediately let out a long sigh. “Aii!”

“What? What did you draw? Hurry and show us.” Gu Nan stirred things up.

Tang Ling flipped the card over. “Ideal Type World Cup: Guest Edition.”

Tang Ling was a male Beta, which meant he could be with any of the other five people, so this question became very interesting.

Peng Yushu wore an ambiguous smile. In his heart, he vaguely knew what Tang Ling’s answer would be, but he could not be certain.

However, when it came to choosing the comparison groups, he had a tendency.

“Then I’ll start asking.” Peng Yushu reminded Tang Ling to prepare himself.

Tang Ling puffed out his chest and lifted his head. “Come on.”

“Shen Zhibei or Peng Yushu?”

“Shen Zhibei.”

“Gu Nan or Lu Xuehai?”

“Gu Nan.”

“Gu Nan or Bai Rui?”

“Bai Rui.”

“Shen Zhibei or Bai Rui?”

“Bai Rui.”

Aside from the Gu Nan and Lu Xuehai combination, which made Tang Ling hesitate for a moment, he answered the other groups without hesitation.

“Tang Ling really is deeply devoted.” Gu Nan applauded him.

Shen Zhibei discreetly nudged Gu Nan with her elbow, telling her not to speak nonsense.

Lu Xuehai carefully glanced at Bai Rui, his expression unreadable.

[I knew it, I knew it. Tang Ling’s behavior these past two days has been very obvious, and now it’s even more obvious. He likes Bai Rui!]

[I keep feeling like there are hidden meanings in Gu Nan’s words.]

[Lu Xuehai expresses dissatisfaction. Is he not devoted enough? Is his behavior not obvious enough? (doge)]

“I feel like I really am participating in a romance variety show,” Peng Yushu muttered quietly.

After muttering, he raised his voice again. “All right, let’s begin the next round.”

With Tang Ling’s seemingly very successful demonstration first, everyone’s enthusiasm increased. Especially Lu Xuehai, who wished the next one would be him.

“Palms and backs!”

This time, the minority were Gu Nan and Bai Rui. After the two played rock-paper-scissors, Bai Rui lost.

Bai Rui casually drew a card. After looking at it, she showed it to everyone else. “How many times have you dated?”

Everyone looked at Bai Rui gossipingly, waiting for her to say the answer.

Bai Rui seemed extremely embarrassed under their stares. Her face flushed red. Then she slowly raised two fingers and said softly, “Twice.”

[Bai Rui has definitely dated more than twice. Not to mention anything else, just her sea-king behavior on this variety show alone can’t possibly be the behavior of someone who has only dated twice.]

[Actually, dating isn’t a big deal. But saying she’s only dated twice like this—blatantly lying and treating me like a three-year-old child—is what makes me feel bad.]

[Can’t Ruirui be popular with everyone? This is all just the production team stirring CPs. Why do you all think any rumor is true? Since Ruirui said she only dated twice, then it must only be twice. Why lie about that? She doesn’t rely on a pure image.]

[Only you fans say she doesn’t rely on a persona. She basically copied Shen Zhibei’s entire persona. Can this be said? Adding dog head to protect my life.]

[What’s wrong with saying it? Now, whenever Little Shen Zhibei is mentioned, it pokes Bai Rui’s fans’ sore spot. So we should mention it more and try to anger them to death.]

[Then I’ll just say it directly. When can Bai Rui get off the show? She’s annoying, and her fans are even more annoying!]

“Wow!”

Although Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei also followed the people around them and “wow”-ed with surprised faces, they knew in their hearts that what Bai Rui said was definitely a lie.

When their eyes met, they could both understand that the other was thinking the same thing.

According to Mom’s statement, the assistant who had been fired was one of Bai Rui’s secret boyfriends.

And on this show, she had also hooked Tang Ling and Lu Xuehai, and seemed to want to hook Gu Nan too.

And with all this, she still said she had only dated twice? Gu Nan could only respect and bless her.

Peng Yushu felt that after Bai Rui said she had only dated twice, the entire situation had become a little strange.

Tang Ling and Lu Xuehai seemed as if they had been injected with chicken blood, while Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s eyes were entangled, and he had no idea what they were doing. He quickly said, “All right, next round.”

“Palms and backs!”

This time, Shen Zhibei was the minority.

Shen Zhibei casually drew a card. After glancing at it, she subconsciously looked at Gu Nan, who was sitting to her left.

Gu Nan sensed Shen Zhibei’s gaze and looked somewhat confused. “What did you draw? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Shen Zhibei rubbed the card as if she wanted to imitate the special powers of the God of Gamblers from movies and make the card change.

“What is it? Hurry and let us see.” Peng Yushu could not help urging her.

Without special powers, and with no possibility of changing the card, Shen Zhibei still revealed the card.

“The ‘I love you’ game. Please look into the eyes of the person on your left and say ‘I love you.’ Whoever laughs first loses.”

“Wow!”

Peng Yushu, who loved watching the fun and did not mind making things worse, pretended to say, “This is way too simple. The two of them are wife-wives. At home, when they’re away from everyone else, they probably say love to each other every day. Kissing would have been a little more difficult. Why didn’t they draw kissing? Did the production team cheat and remove the kissing cards?”

The other guests burst into laughter because of Peng Yushu’s words, and it took quite a while before they could stop.

[Yo yo yo yo! Mama orders you not to laugh. Say ‘I love you’ until the end of time for me!]

[I’m turning yellow! I’m turning yellow! Love can also be a verb. Teacher Peng, my internet mouthpiece, please say more!]

[Heavens, did you hear this faithful woman’s prayer? I’ll start eating vegetarian for twenty-four hours right now.]

[Right, right, why isn’t it kissing? Kissing is better. Production team, hurry and cheat by stuffing that card in. You don’t even need to stuff it to anyone else. Just put it directly into the Nanbei wife-wives’ hands.]

[I’m speechless. Right now, all I can do is make chicken screams!]

“Don’t hesitate, don’t be shy. Just pretend we don’t exist and do it the way you two do at home.” Peng Yushu’s mouth did not stop. “Look at this card you drew. This is fate’s arrange—”

Shen Zhibei was so embarrassed by his words that she could not help glaring fiercely at Peng Yushu, whom she usually respected a lot.

Gu Nan was even more direct. She directly covered Peng Yushu’s mouth. “Teacher Peng, please stop talking.”

“Mm mm mm.” Peng Yushu struggled to escape from Gu Nan’s hand.

“Even grabbing Teacher Peng is useless. So many viewers in the livestream room are witnesses. Sister Zhibei, you drew this card, and Gu Nan is beside you. You still have to do this game,” Tang Ling egged them on. “Hurry, hurry.”

Gu Nan could only let go of Peng Yushu and sit face to face with Shen Zhibei.

“I’m clearly a winner. Why am I also being dragged into this?” Gu Nan looked toward the production team and made one last struggle. “Zhibei drew the card. It wasn’t me who drew it. Actually, it’s completely fine for Zhibei to say it to me while I don’t say anything. The game can end when she laughs by herself, right?”

Gu Nan’s words perfectly embodied the principle of “let my fellow Daoist die, not me.”

Shen Zhibei had not really wanted to do this little game either, but after Gu Nan said that, her desire to oppose her was immediately stirred up.

You really don’t want to say you love me?

The more you don’t want to say it, the more I’ll make you say it.

Shen Zhibei raised an eyebrow. “The game rules still have to be followed. Since it says one sentence per person, then it’s one sentence per person. You say it first.”

“It was clearly your card. Why should I say it first? You should say it first.” Gu Nan did not give in at all.

“You say it first.” Shen Zhibei said angrily.

“You say it first.” Gu Nan said with a smile.

The others turned their heads back and forth along with Shen Zhibei and Gu Nan’s exchange.

In the end, it was Peng Yushu who could no longer stand the two of them talking like elementary school students and forcefully interrupted, “Enough. You two play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses says it first!”

[A family war triggered by a little game. Lighting cigarette.]

[I silently screenshotted this section and put it in my favorites. It deserves to be watched repeatedly.]

[This is really my first time seeing Sister be this childish. She really has no image left. She’s completely like an elementary school student arguing with someone. But this doesn’t really count as arguing. Maybe it can only be considered… flirting?]

[So this is what the two of them are like at home. Enlightened expression.]

Because of this little game, the two of them completely entered battle mode.

The moment their gazes met, it was as if crackling electric sparks shot out.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

Gu Nan threw scissors. Shen Zhibei threw paper.

“You lost. You say it first.” Gu Nan looked at Shen Zhibei and said smugly.

Shen Zhibei was willing to accept defeat. She took a deep breath and was about to speak.

“Wait!” Tang Ling suddenly said from the side. “Hold hands. Hold hands first, then look into each other’s eyes before saying it!”

“Why do we have to hold hands?” Shen Zhibei questioned.

“That’s how this game is played. It’s probably to let the other person feel the other’s heartbeat,” Tang Ling explained randomly.

“?” Gu Nan was confused. “To feel a heartbeat, shouldn’t you touch the pulse? How can holding hands let you feel a heartbeat?”

“If you both think holding hands can’t feel the heartbeat, then touch each other’s chests. Anyway, that shouldn’t be difficult for you two.” Tang Ling spread his hands.

[Damn, yes! Touch chests, touch chests! Hurry and touch each other’s soft chests!]

[Brother Tang Ling’s suggestion is beneficial and extremely valuable. So why haven’t you touched yet? Touch! Touch for me!]

[I want to see, I want to see, I want to see! Hurry and help put the Nanbei wife-wives’ hands where they should be!]

The more Tang Ling said, the more impossible it was to achieve. So Gu Nan very decisively held Shen Zhibei’s hand.

This was Gu Nan’s first time holding a woman’s hand like this.

As someone who had been single since birth, she could not hold back her curiosity and squeezed it a little to feel it.

Then, before she could feel anything, she was shocked that she had actually done something so bold.

She quickly coughed twice and said, “Cough, cough. You can start.”

With Gu Nan’s palm wrapping around her hand, Shen Zhibei unexpectedly felt the tips of her ears heat slightly.

Subconsciously lifting her head, she met Gu Nan’s serious gaze.

“Then I… will start?” Shen Zhibei said softly.

“Start, start.”

Under the ambiguous gazes of the others, Shen Zhibei’s lips parted slightly…
