After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 35

“I love you.”

Shen Zhibei said those three words openly, cleanly, and without hesitation.

“Those three words sounded like you were reciting lines, and reciting them without any emotion at that,” Peng Yushu commented from the side.

Gu Nan had originally been about to say those three words very seriously, but she swallowed them back all at once. “We’re playing a game. We don’t need genuine feelings, right?”

Peng Yushu’s eyes turned, and he said, “Playing games also requires genuine feelings. Could it be that just because you’re playing a game, you don’t love Zhibei anymore? You’re supposed to use this game to express your love for each other. Or is it because you already got her, so you don’t cherish her anymore?”

The corner of Gu Nan’s mouth twitched at Peng Yushu’s righteous words. “Teacher Peng, don’t randomly pin crimes on me. That charge is way too big.”

“That’s right. She already got me, so she doesn’t cherish me anymore,” Shen Zhibei suddenly cut in from the side.

“!!!” Gu Nan looked at Shen Zhibei in shock. “Sister, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Wow, even Zhibei has come out to accuse you. Just tell us how terrible your behavior must be,” Peng Yushu said, immediately jumping out to make trouble.

Tang Ling saw there was drama to watch and quickly joined in. “Speak. Did you do something to wrong Sister Zhibei?”

“It must be. Otherwise, how could Sister Zhibei say something like that? Hurry and confess. Maybe you’ll get lenient treatment,” Lu Xuehai also chimed in.

Gu Nan was suddenly attacked by everyone. She hurriedly shouted, “Don’t be fooled by her! I didn’t do anything. Clearly, she’s the one who keeps bullying me!”

“You even made sarcastic remarks about my age today.” Shen Zhibei’s voice was already choked with emotion, and tears were swirling in her eyes. “It seems you dislike my age and want to find a younger Omega. But every day, I manage the household for you and show filial respect to your two mothers. Even if I have no merit, I still worked hard.”

Gu Nan stared with her mouth agape. Suddenly, she thought of the scene when they were cooking in the RV.

No wonder my back felt chilly back then.

No wonder you kept picking on me when we were coming up.

So that’s how it is. You were waiting for me here.

I really only said that casually. And if that sentence made you uncomfortable, why didn’t you tell me directly? Why did you make me figure it out myself?

Unfortunately, no one could hear Gu Nan’s inner thoughts.

Everyone only watched Shen Zhibei’s brilliant performance, then wanted to follow Shen Zhibei’s setup and continue acting.

To summarize, everyone borrowed the excuse Shen Zhibei had given them and began bullying—no, criticizing—Gu Nan together.

Peng Yushu’s expression immediately turned indignant. “Wow, you actually dare make sarcastic remarks about your own Omega? Are you even an Alpha?”

Tang Ling shook his head lightly, his face full of shock. “My god, Sister Zhibei is such a gentle and beautiful woman, and you can still be sarcastic to her?”

“Xiao Nan, what you did really wasn’t proper.” Lu Xuehai looked heartbroken.

Even Bai Rui shook her head heavily from the side.

Gu Nan looked left and right but could not find a single person supporting her. She could only raise her head to the sky and howl. “I’m wronged! I’m so wronged that snow is about to fall in June!”

[Hahaha, I remember this line of Sister’s. It’s from one of her films. She played an Omega mother from the old society and said it to her cheating Alpha wife.]

[Gu Nan is about to need oxygen, right? So miserable, hahahahaha.]

[One look and you can tell she only now realized what she did. Completely unworthy of sympathy, hahahahaha.]

[The Film Empress sits alone, secretly wiping tears. Gu Nan is betrayed by everyone and howls at the sky.]

[The person above should hurry and find a job at a Hong Kong tabloid. That headline would definitely pass. Maybe you’ll even reach the peak of life with it.]

After causing a commotion for a while, everyone stopped. After all, the game still had to continue.

Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s expressions had now switched.

Gu Nan was currently puffed up with anger, while Shen Zhibei was smiling.

Considering someone had just said she was not affectionate enough, Gu Nan deliberately imitated the affectionate gaze she had seen on TV.

Looking at Shen Zhibei, she said what she believed was very affectionately, “I love you.”

The corner of Shen Zhibei’s mouth twitched. She very much wanted to hold back her laughter. But when she saw Gu Nan’s terribly poor attempt at acting, she still laughed out loud as soon as she opened her mouth.

“Zhibei, what are you doing? Are you trying to end this quickly? Otherwise, why did you laugh so easily?” Peng Yushu said in dissatisfaction.

Shen Zhibei laughed for a long time before finally rubbing her lower abdomen and saying, “No, it’s because Gu Nan’s forced affectionate expression was really fake and really funny.”

“What do you mean fake and funny? I think I imitated it very well. Isn’t that how deep affection is performed in TV dramas?” Gu Nan was also very dissatisfied with Shen Zhibei’s evaluation of her.

Shen Zhibei looked as though she wanted to speak but stopped.

In the end, she still said, “If you still want to act, when we go home, I’ll give you special training.”

“Forget it. I think if I specially become a comedic entertainer, that’d be better,” Gu Nan said.

[Gu Nan, the Film Empress personally offered to teach you, and you actually refused!]

[But friends, did you hear that? Gu Nan said if she specifically becomes a comedic entertainer. I fully support that. I guarantee I’ll go from passerby to fan.]

[You can really see how much resentment everyone has toward Gu Nan’s acting.]

[As a Nanbei girl, I have to say that when I edit videos, I basically don’t dare cut Gu Nan’s film and drama clips. I only use some specific shots as filler. After all, putting Sister’s and Gu Nan’s acting clips together is truly cruel.]

[Holding back laughter is also very cruel for us, hahahahahaha.]

“Again, again. You two ended it way too fast.” Peng Yushu wanted to pull the rhythm back.

“Why do we have to do it again? We’re done here. Zhibei already laughed.” Gu Nan squeezed the soft hand she was holding. “Right?”

“Right. We’re done here.” Shen Zhibei scratched Gu Nan’s palm back with her fingers, a small revenge for Gu Nan squeezing her hand. “Continue to the next round.”

“You’re no longer the Shen Zhibei who led us in condemning Gu Nan just now.” Peng Yushu looked heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the two of them had indeed ended the game according to the rules.

“All right, all right. Next round.”

Since they were about to play palms and backs of hands again, Gu Nan released Shen Zhibei’s hand.

Shen Zhibei acted as if nothing had happened, as though what had just happened had no effect on her at all. But the night did not completely hide the faint redness at the tips of her ears.

Gu Nan happened to see some of it.

As if possessed, she reached out and pinched Shen Zhibei’s earlobe.

Shen Zhibei turned her head and immediately grabbed Gu Nan’s hand, which was trying to flee. She glared at Gu Nan, who had suddenly pinched her earlobe. “You…”

“Um… there was a mosquito, hahaha.” Gu Nan laughed awkwardly and tried to pull her hand back.

Shen Zhibei absolutely did not believe this excuse and held Gu Nan’s hand tightly, not letting her pull away.

This person definitely saw my reddened ears.

The moment Shen Zhibei thought of this, her face also flushed slightly. She bit her lip and asked fiercely, “What did you see?”

Gu Nan reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly shook her head. “I didn’t see anything!”

“Really?” Shen Zhibei confirmed.

“Really!” Gu Nan immediately switched to nodding mode.

After successfully deceiving herself, Shen Zhibei slowly released Gu Nan’s hand.

When the two turned their heads, they met the eyes of the others—left eyes written with “gos,” right eyes written with “sip.”

These people had not made a single sound. They had simply watched Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s interaction from the side without blinking.

[Who was just puffed up with anger while looking at her wife, and now she’s secretly touching her earlobe? (doge)]

[The Film Empress’s fierce expression makes me want to rua her.]

[The two of them are like: if you hold my hand, then I have to hold yours too. Neither of them is willing to lose out. So Gu Nan, can you do something else and let the Film Empress do it too? We especially want to see it. For example, something further. Frantic hinting.]

[Sister has trained her well. Look at that response speed. Absolutely first-class. PS: What exactly did Gu Nan see for Sister to ask that?]

[No idea. But I’m already prepared. I’m going to Big-Eye right now to ask in the comments under Sister’s post.]

“You all…”

Before Gu Nan could finish, Peng Yushu was the first to look away and cut in, “One look and you can tell Gu Nan and Zhibei really don’t treat us as outsiders. Or rather, they’re already used to doing this kind of thing at home, and now they’re unconsciously bringing it out here. Nothing to see. We all understand. Next round, next round.”

“Right, next round.”

The others all hid their hands behind their backs, preparing for palms and backs.

Everything that could be said had already been said by Peng Yushu, and everyone else was ready to start the next round.

Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei could only force themselves to forget the embarrassment of having been watched the entire time just now and focus on the next round.

“Palms and backs!”

It was unknown whether Gu Nan had used up all her luck, but unfortunately, this round was Gu Nan’s loss.

Under a pile of teasing gazes, Gu Nan reached out and drew a card. When she saw the card, she laughed.

“What is it? Why are you laughing so happily?” Lu Xuehai curiously turned over the card in Gu Nan’s hand. “Who is the person you like most among those present?”

“Aiya.” Everyone sighed. “How did you end up drawing this question?”

“Exactly. Aside from Sister Zhibei, do you dare say anyone else?” Tang Ling added.

“I could also say Teacher Peng,” Gu Nan said lightly.

Peng Yushu was dumbfounded. “Are you serious? You dare say it’s me? Are you really not afraid Zhibei will domestically abuse you? Although Zhibei wouldn’t truly be that violent, are you really sure you want to say that?”

Shen Zhibei also looked toward Gu Nan with flickering eyes.

“Of course…” Gu Nan looked at the others, especially Shen Zhibei’s gradually dangerous gaze. “Not. Among everyone present, of course the person I like most is Zhibei.”

Gu Nan hooked her arm around Shen Zhibei’s and leaned against her shoulder like a little bird depending on someone.

She had not leaned there for more than three seconds before Shen Zhibei pushed her back with great disdain.

“Tch, standard answer. I thought you were going to play some tricks.”

“After I play tricks, will you soothe Zhibei for me?”

Gu Nan, who had been pushed back to her original position, whispered with Tang Ling.

[No unexpected answer at all. I really wanted to hear Gu Nan say something else.]

[If she said something else, you might not see her next episode. Be nice to her.]

[Oh yeah! I screenshotted several more of Sister’s reaction images. Shen Zhibei’s gaze gradually turns dangerous.jpg, Shen Zhibei fiercely stares at Gu Nan.jpg, Shen Zhibei’s gaze flickers uncertainly.jpg]

[See? Gu Nan actually knows very well in her heart. She even told Tang Ling herself: after playing tricks, who would soothe the Film Empress for her?]

[Knowing it is useless. Who asked her to be mouthy, and for her mouth to move faster than her brain? (doge)]

The six of them played a few more rounds, but neither Gu Nan nor Shen Zhibei lost again. When it reached nine o’clock and the cameras turned off, everyone ended the game as well.

“What time do we finish tomorrow?” Gu Nan asked the production team.

“After lunch, you can leave any time in the afternoon. But if you leave too early, the livestream may still need to stay on in the vehicle.”

Everyone nodded, indicating that was fine, then began walking toward the small building one after another.

Today, they had taken a comfortable hot shower and eaten a good meal. Right now, what they wanted most was to lie comfortably in bed, play with their phones for a while, and then sleep beautifully.

After walking only a few steps, Gu Nan turned back and took from the production staff cleaning up the mess the corn the production team had prepared but they had not eaten because they were too full.

“These ears of corn were prepared for us, and we didn’t eat them. We can take them away directly, right?”

Gu Nan seemed to be asking the production team’s opinion, but her movements were extremely quick. She directly gathered the uneaten corn into her arms.

“All right. Tomorrow, we can boil the corn and eat it. Or if there are pork bones, I can even make pork bone and corn soup.” Gu Nan hinted to the production team that they could prepare some pork bones for them tomorrow.

Pork bone and corn soup!

Although they had eaten their fill tonight, they still had to prepare for tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch. Or they could eat later and directly prepare a brunch.

“Director, will we have pork bones tomorrow?” Peng Yushu changed the hint into a direct statement.

The production team completely pretended they had not heard.

You already took so much meat from us, and you still want pork bones?

Don’t even think about it!

Since they did not get the answer they wanted, everyone could only think of another way tomorrow.

After returning to their respective rooms, Shen Zhibei first created a group chat and pulled Gu Nan and Peng Yushu in.

Shen Zhibei: Do either of you have the WeChat of the other three? Pull them in too. We can discuss things behind the production team’s back.

Peng Yushu: I truly never expected that you, Zhibei, with your honest brows and big eyes, who has always cooperated with the production team’s work, would also betray them.

Gu Nan: Tang Ling and I added each other. I can pull Tang Ling in. Tang Ling pulls Bai Rui in, Bai Rui pulls Brother Xuehai in. Perfect closed loop. Know-it-all gesture.

Peng Yushu: Wow, don’t say that in front of them.

Gu Nan: I know, I know. I’m not stupid.

Peng Yushu: Withdraw, withdraw. Withdraw all these messages. Otherwise, once people are pulled in, who knows whether they’ll be able to see the chat history from before.

With several “beep beep beep” sounds, the messages that Bai Rui and the others could not be allowed to see were all withdrawn by the two of them, just in case.

Then Gu Nan pulled in Tang Ling, and just as she had thought, Bai Rui and Lu Xuehai were pulled in one after another.

Gu Nan: Should we get up early tomorrow morning and try raiding the production team again? Take advantage of them!

Tang Ling, Bai Rui, Lu Xuehai: Agreed!

Shen Zhibei: Since we want to do it, let’s all set alarms for seven o’clock. That’s still fairly early. The production team should have just gotten up and not started eating yet. When the time comes, we’ll observe whether they’ve come up or not. If they haven’t, we’ll each find an excuse to go out from the staff staying behind on the first floor, then go straight down the slope and block them.

Gu Nan: Take all their breakfast!

Peng Yushu: Take it! Take it all!

After discussing their strategy for the next morning, they set their phone alarms for seven o’clock.

Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei did not say anything more. They tidied up, said goodnight to each other, and went straight to sleep.

Early the next morning, it was another day of being woken up by a rooster crowing.

Although they had worn earplugs this time, it still did not completely block that astonishing penetrating power.

When Shen Zhibei opened her eyes, she discovered that she had once again burrowed into Gu Nan’s arms, and she was already extremely calm.

She calmly and gently moved away Gu Nan’s arm that was wrapped around her, calmly moved back to her own side, even more calmly picked up the blanket from the floor, and then waited for the crowing to end so she could continue sleeping.

Thankfully, Gu Nan’s sleep quality was excellent. There was no sign of her waking at all, sparing Shen Zhibei from embarrassment.

When the seven o’clock alarm rang, Shen Zhibei woke fully.

Ever since being woken by the rooster’s crowing, she had not fallen back asleep. So when the alarm rang, she opened her eyes directly and pushed Gu Nan, who was still sleeping deeply.

“Wake up. It’s seven. We’re going to raid the production team.”

Gu Nan opened her eyes with difficulty, glanced at Shen Zhibei, then pulled the blanket over her head and twisted around inside for quite a while before coming out again.

“Okay. Let’s get ready to go. This time, bring everything we need.”

Afraid that the staff sleeping in tents on the first floor would notice them, Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei waited for the others on the second floor.

They did not wait long before the other guests, for the sake of taking advantage of the production team, also came out of their rooms one by one, yawning and carrying bags.

The group carefully headed toward the first floor, trying their best not to wake the staff staying behind.

However, what the guests had not expected was that the production team had already completely given up.

The staff staying in the small building had received notice that they only needed to set up the equipment by 8:30.

The guests could get up whenever they wanted. In any case, the production team had not prepared a breakfast task in the morning.

If the guests got up early, they would just casually film something. If they got up late, even better—they could film their wake-up scenes.

The production team’s entire hope was currently focused on the next episode, which they had spent a large amount of money rearranging, just waiting to teach the guests a lesson.

So when the group tiptoed to the first floor, they could only hear faint snoring coming from inside the tents. Not a single figure could be seen.

Only after they walked out of the small courtyard and started down the slope did the group begin feeling strange.

“Something’s wrong.” Gu Nan was completely confused. “Yesterday at this time, they should have been up already.”

Shen Zhibei directly decided, “Let’s go down and take a look. Let’s see what they’re doing.”

The group quickly went down the slope. The RVs were still parked at the foot of the slope, but just like the staff left behind in the building, there was no movement at all.

“What exactly are they doing? They’re not tormenting us anymore and have started sleeping in?”

Crouching in the grass at the foot of the slope to hide, Gu Nan asked in confusion.

“Take a photo first and post it on Big-Eye.”

As Peng Yushu spoke, he took out his phone and snapped a photo. Then he flipped the camera and snapped another photo of the six of them crouching in the grass.

“Let’s get ahead of them and create the illusion that we’re much more diligent than they are.” After taking the two photos, Peng Yushu uploaded both to Big-Eye. “Remember to repost.”

“Brilliant. Truly brilliant.” Gu Nan gave him a thumbs-up in praise.

She opened Big-Eye and reposted Teacher Peng’s post, only to discover that the number of comments under it had already begun growing crazily, especially after the others reposted it.

Gu Nan looked at a few of the top hot comments, and their actions had already been analyzed down to the last detail.

[My god, why did they all get up so early? What are they doing? Is there some task this morning?]

[I went to the variety show livestream room. The livestream room is still pitch-black, clearly not recording yet. Add to that the sight of all of them crouching in the grass not far from the RVs, and the answer is already obvious. Conan: There is only one truth.jpg]

[They absolutely want to raid the production team again this morning!]

[Production team, miserable! Truly miserable! This is the first time I’ve seen such a miserable production team. Other shows have production teams playing with guests. A Hellish Life has guests playing with the production team.]

[A Hellish Life, hahaha. Has this name already spread widely through Teacher Peng’s mouth? Hahahaha.]

[This time, these people are really barefaced. Our Nanbei wife-wives’ bare faces are so strong. My screen is a little dirty. Let me lick it first.]

“The netizens on Big-Eye have already guessed what we’re going to do. Since they guessed it, why don’t we open a livestream and help the production team stream it?” Gu Nan began wanting to make trouble again.

When Peng Yushu heard this, he was tempted. “Good idea. I’ll open it.”

As soon as he opened a Big-Eye livestream, countless viewers immediately flooded in.

“Friends in the audience, what you’re watching now is A Hellish Life. We are about to raid the production team. Please bear witness for us!”

[Damn, 66666!]

[These guests have turned the tables and become the hosts! They made their own show!]

[Squatting, squatting. I’ll squat with you!]

They squatted and waited for quite a while. Fortunately, everyone’s phones had been fully charged yesterday, so the livestream could continue, and everyone could take turns chatting with the viewers. Otherwise, just staying there would really have been very boring.

After much waiting, people from the production team finally slowly began coming out of the RVs.

Seeing this, everyone quickly stopped talking, waiting to observe properly before suddenly occupying the RV loaded with food.

Gradually, more and more production team members got up, and Yingpan Village’s villagers also delivered prepared food and placed it on the large table set up outside.

“Put on your backpacks. We’re getting ready to charge.” Gu Nan said to the others, “In a moment, I’ll lead the charge. I’ll rush up, take two large plates of food, and get into the nearest RV. Follow me closely. It’s best if each of you takes two plates. If you can’t hold that much, take one.”

“Then I’ll carry that small bucket of rice,” Lu Xuehai said.

After dividing up the work, Gu Nan counted down.

Three, two, one!

The moment she counted to one, Gu Nan rushed out like a gust of wind.

Under the stunned gazes of the production team members, Gu Nan smiled and quickly said, “Hehe, good morning, everyone. Have you eaten yet? You definitely haven’t, right? Then we won’t be polite and will eat some with you.”

As she spoke, Gu Nan picked up two large plates and ran into the RV she had observed earlier.

Behind her, the other guests also ran out and began carrying food according to the plan they had discussed.

The chief director finally snapped out of her daze and roared, “Stop them!”

Only then did the production staff wake as if from a dream, but the situation was already hopeless.

The group once again completed the godlike operation of taking the dishes, getting into the RV, and locking the door.
