After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 16

The hidden mission was like a huge cake, its aroma extremely tempting, yet encased in a glass dome that no one could touch.

Chi Huan seized the moment before the System closed the System Store, staring hard at it to satisfy her visual cravings.

Wuwuwu, goodbye, my Forgetfulness Potion. Goodbye, my Sweet Dream Realization. It’s all because I’m incompetent; I can’t take you home…

Let me look at you one more time. Smooch smooch smooch…

After her moment of sadness, Chi Huan regained her fighting spirit with the tenacity of a cockroach.

She rolled over in a “lazy fish turnaround” and onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow. Snore, snore. Velvet is so comfortable~ (OvO)

The phone by her pillow vibrated slightly. Chi Huan grabbed it and looked.

[Lu]: Are your teeth still hurting?

[Lu]: Sharing [Baidu Navigation] I am here, come find me~

【Alice Dentist, Caring for Your Dental Health.】

Are you still looking for “the one”?

You stay up all night for it, tossing and turning, acquiring heavy dark circles, but does it feel any remorse?

You lose your appetite and grow thinner because of it, but does it show you any pity?

No. Then why do you still long for it?

Don’t hesitate any longer. Make up your mind now, and let it permanently leave your world!

[Shopping Cart] Checkup + Extraction + Implantation Mini Package 5000 [Strikethrough] 4000!

Chi Huan: “…”

If you don’t read the title, you’d think this was a marriage agency.

Chi Huan clicked on the navigation. The clinic was located not far from that barbecue stall. The proximity showed careful consideration.

Her heart was slightly touched. Her efforts to get closer this past month hadn’t been in vain!

With just a casual mention, Lu You learned to care about her!

She then resolutely typed:

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: No way! It has accompanied me for so many years! I absolutely won’t abandon it like this! Since it has grown in my mouth, I will treat it like my own biological child!

[Lu]: ?

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: We promised not to abandon each other. How could I be so heartless as to leave it halfway?

[Lu]: …It’s just a decayed tooth.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: No!

[Lu]: Did you forget you cried all night yesterday?

[Lu]: [Chat History Screenshot] [Chat History Screenshot] [Chat History Screenshot]

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Wuwuwu, you’re exposing my weakness. I’m embarrassed! I don’t want to live!

[Lu]: Right, just like that.

Lu You highlighted a segment of text from one of the screenshots and sent it to her.

…

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Wuwuwu, my tooth hurts, I want to die together with it. If it lives, I don’t want to live!

…

[Lu]: Biological child?

Chi Huan shut up.

She realized that after getting familiar with Lu You, Lu You’s entire demeanor had changed.

The Lu You she first met was simple, gentle, like a small white flower blooming on a climbing vine in the forest, shyly unfurling her petals in the morning sun.

Beautiful, but too fragile.

However, after changing identities, she discovered that Lu You was actually very opinionated.

Not just the kind of opinionated that led her to decisively break up after discovering the stand-in truth.

But like a pillar of her family, she could quickly deal with any situation, rarely wavering.

For example, the hospital transfer.

Lu You refused to accept the Chi family’s favors. Once her grandmother was out of danger, she immediately arranged the transfer. She handled the discharge procedures, contacted the new hospital, and arranged the transportation all by herself.

The hospital fees were also paid on the spot.

Apart from the drive to the hospital, Lu You gritted her teeth and accepted no favors from Chi Huan.

Lu You’s parents visited once, seen by Chi Huan from a distance. To be honest, they were very different from the image of the protagonist’s parents she had imagined.

They were genuine construction workers, looking honest and awkward as they followed Lu You. They were even still using basic feature phones.

Standing together, they looked more like Lu You’s grandparents.

Chi Huan felt a knot in her stomach, as if something was blocking her throat. She didn’t eat all day.

Every time she picked up her phone, she saw the image of Lu You slightly bending over and speaking to her parents.

Soft-spoken, gentle, and patient, without any sign of impatience.

—The way she speaks to me is very similar.

—She is treating me with the same attitude she treats her family.

Chi Huan couldn’t keep up the pretense anymore.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Alright, I’ll be straight with you. My tooth doesn’t hurt.

[Lu]: ?

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: I just wanted to fish for sympathy and get you to order more barbecue from my shop [Crying Laughing]

The message “The other party is typing…” displayed for a long time. Chi Huan was annoyed. She scratched her head, sat up cross-legged, and typed furiously.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: I’m sorry. I said the wrong thing.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: No, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Don’t be angry, okay [Big Cry]

[Lu]: I’m not angry.

Not angry, then why is it taking so long to type?

The other side was silent for a long time again.

[Lu]: Something happened in my family recently. I might not be able to order takeout often. Sorry.

Chi Huan wanted to slap herself. Lu You’s family had such a huge financial burden, and she was trying to lure her into buying barbecue?

What an insensitive idiot!

She vehemently cursed herself out.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Ah QAQ I apologize.

[Lu]: It’s okay.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Em… then let me treat you to barbecue!

[Lu]: No need.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Yes, yes! I didn’t open the shop to make money anyway, and you’re my only customer. The customer is God, and when God is in trouble, I, your humble servant, am duty-bound to help!

[Lu]: [Crying Laughing] Seriously, no need. I’m in the hospital now. Barbecue isn’t convenient.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: I will immediately start a side business! I’m opening a porridge shop! God, wait for me, I’m on my way!

Chi Huan jumped up, resolutely placed an order on Meituan for a dozen cheaply made cardboard boxes, and then opened the takeout interface.

Shrimp porridge? No! Some patients aren’t supposed to eat seafood… Pumpkin porridge? No! Too bland. How would that show my status as a rich boss! Pork rib porridge? Can’t do that! Eating meat while sick will be hard to digest!

Chi Huan looked only at the expensive options. She criticized the porridge, which averaged 1,800 yuan a bowl, before finally settling on millet porridge, plus a luxurious three-person package.

Soy milk for 500 a cup? Buy!

Braised egg for 360? Buy!

Fried dough stick for 600? Buy!

Your President Chi is not short on money!

Meanwhile, a certain person happily digging into ice cream at Mu Yi’s house: “Ah-tiuiuiuiuiu—”

She grabbed a tissue, blew her nose messily, and rubbed it. “What’s going on? Did the air conditioning give me a cold?”

The tissue ball innocently bounced in the air-conditioned room.

She quickly cheered up: “Who cares? If I have a cold, I have a cold. I’ll just sweetly and softly fall into Mu Yi’s arms then, hehehe…”

After the takeout arrived, Chi Huan ruthlessly threw the packaging—which rivaled five-star hotel tableware—into the trash can, replacing it with the cheaply bought cardboard boxes.

Perfect, mission complete!

Looking at the shoddy packaging, who could possibly see through the humble exterior to the four-digit price tag? No one!

She truly is a thoughtful little angel! She’s secretly sending a meal, and thoughtfully considering the other person’s mood, ensuring Lu You enjoys the meal comfortably and happily!

She took a bunch of photos of her creation. Ignoring Lu You’s struggles with “no need,” “don’t go,” and “I really don’t need this,” she heartlessly dropped the four-digit feast into Lu You’s chat box.

And added the message:

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Woman, don’t refuse me! I’m not someone you can refuse!

[Lu]: …

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: The porridge is made QAQ If you don’t take it, I’ll throw it away!!

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Wuwuwu! [Big Cry] [Big Cry] [Big Cry]

[Lu]: …………

Lu You gave in.

[Lu]: Fine, thank you then.

She slowly typed: How much is it? I’ll transfer the…

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: No charge! What’s our relationship? If you humiliate me with money, I’ll break off contact! I’ll block you immediately!

[Lu]: …

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Who do you think I am! When I send a gift, I’m not asking if you want it. It’s because I want to give it!

Lu You… once again succumbed to the overwhelming Chūnibyō (adolescent delusion) vibe.

[Lu]: When things are better on my end, I’ll definitely patronize your shop more often.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: [Little dog nod] Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm!

Chi Huan put down her phone, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

She looked into the mirror, smoothing back her thick, slightly wavy hair. The beautiful girl in the mirror slightly lifted her chin, her lips curving into a slight smile. She raised an eyebrow charmingly.

Her eyes were slightly glazed. Yes, squint a little more.

Three parts mockery, three parts coldness, four parts carelessness.

Her plump, slightly upturned lips slowly spoke a sentence: “Woman, resistance is useless. There’s nothing your President Chi can’t accomplish.”

“Ding-dong—”

She frowned severely: “System, be quiet! I’m trying to show off. Who’s responsible if I fail?”

“Ding-dong—”

“I told you to be quiet! Stop bothering me!”

“Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong—Is anyone home?! Who called for a runner! Are you inside? Open the door!”

Chi Huan: “…”

President Chi… President Chi obediently smoothed down her hair, rubbed her face: “Coming, coming.”

The delivery rider took the bag from her hand, his expression odd: “You spent 300 to deliver this little bit of food? If you’d ordered takeout, it wouldn’t cost twenty to deliver directly.”

“This little bit of food?” President Chi demanded, “Do you know what this is?”

“Uh, no,” the rider flipped his bangs. “Besides the millet porridge that you can drink till you’re full for ten bucks, does it have any other remarkable identity?”

“How shallow!” Chi Huan waved her hand dismissively. “This—”

“Is the torch of revolution! It is the guiding light! It is the hope that breaks the insurmountable distance between the chosen ones and the underlying cannon fodder!”

Chi Huan’s eyes were contemptuous. The rider’s eyes were full of internal cursing.

“Fine. Hand over the torch. Alipay or WeChat?”

“WeChat. No money in Alipay.” (All the money in Alipay was transferred to Lu You, who then transferred it to Rong Qing).

Crying internally.

That was my money!

Please, Dowager Empress, be merciful! Give me back my money QAQ!

“Be careful,” Chi Huan warned, seeing the rider handle the bags carelessly, “I paid four digits for these!”

Four digits? The rider, weighed down by this pile of four-digit junk, stumbled sharply and looked back at Chi Huan, his expression extremely strange.

If Chi Huan had unlocked the “Read Minds Through Eyes” function, she would have seen the line written plainly in the young man’s eyes—

Where did this foolish person with too much money come from?!

He said enviously: “How about I quit my job and specialize in cooking for you? Just give me a small sum every month. I guarantee it’ll be cleaner and tastier than what’s sold outside.”

“What’s your current job?”

“I’m a Skewer Person.”

A Skewer Person? Isn’t that the profession often associated with men cooking in less-than-sterile kitchens?

Chi Huan looked at the four-digit price tag on the thin porridge bag in his hand, then at the eager look in the young man’s eyes.

The two were like revolutionaries meeting, clasping hands and nodding with tearful eyes: “Deal.”

I’m out of money in my card, wuwuwu…
