After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 3
Chi Huan tried to stay calm: “Wait, this is a stand-in novel, right?”
System: 【Yes.】
Chi Huan: “The essence of a stand-in novel is the ‘chasing the wife in the crematorium’ trope. To achieve this, we are inevitably required to physically and mentally abuse the main receiver in the early stages. Am I wrong?”
System: 【Correct. You have a very thorough understanding.】
Chi Huan flared up in anger: “Then tell me, how am I supposed to physically and mentally abuse Lu You while simultaneously keeping her in a state of happy, healthy well-being? Does she have Stockholm Syndrome?”
System: 【The System is currently under maintenance. Please, Host, wait for a moment.】
Chi Huan: “…”
Requires maintenance right out of the factory. Your System seems to be of poor quality.
Before long, Zhao Shu returned with the tomato and egg soup Chi Huan had ordered, a bowl of plain white porridge, and a few light side dishes.
Seeing Chi Huan’s distorted expression, Zhao Shu asked with concern, “President Chi, what’s wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Chi Huan shook her head: “No. You go ahead and take care of your business. I’m…” she said casually, “I’ll sleep for a bit after I eat. Come pick me up when you get off work.”
Zhao Shu said, “Understood, President Chi. If you need anything, call me; I’m always available.”
Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment and then said, “I ran into Miss Lu on my way out. She might have overheard your words. Should you explain things to her?”
Chi Huan waved her hand tiredly, thinking: Those words were specifically for her to hear; wouldn’t it have been pointless if she hadn’t heard?
After the woman left, Chi Huan forced herself to cheer up, sitting on the bed with her phone, scratching her head in frustration.
She had been a woman for twenty-something years, true, but… she really didn’t know how to coax women!
Chi Huan held her head and pondered.
Lu You’s preferred type?
… A double-standard dog like Mu Yi?
Hiss… Well… it’s… not impossible…
Do it now or regret it later. Time waits for no one. Confucius-Fu-Skeevy once said, hesitation leads to defeat!
Chi Huan quickly registered a new account, only hesitating slightly when filling out the profile.
The ID couldn’t be related to her; she’d be recognized. And the profile information absolutely couldn’t be real!
She thought for a long time and seriously gave herself an overly Omega-ish ID: Strawberry Milk Pudding, Age: 15.
Who could refuse the comfort of a juvenile female Omega?
No one!
She confidently wrote the application reason: “Pretty Sis, wanna be friends? Look at me, ducky!”
Silence from the other side.
Chi Huan took a deep breath. Was her ID not pink enough, or was her tone not friendly and soft enough? Why wasn’t Lu You responding to her?
Again!
[Little Sweet Kitten] applied to add you as a friend. Reason: “Tell Kitty your troubles, Kitty is super sweet!”
No response.
[Little Soft Sweet Sauce]: “Pretty Sis, please talk to me, woo woo QAQ”
…
[Don’t Reject Bunny]: “Why won’t you talk to me? Am I not well-behaved enough?”
…
Chi Huan didn’t understand. Didn’t Lu You like this kind of thing? Why was she ignoring her?
She carefully recalled the System’s description of Mu Yi’s personality: gentle to the female lead, cold to everyone else…
Oh, right. I was only focused on being gentle; I forgot Lu You not only likes gentleness, she also likes double standards!
[Pretty Sis Sauce Take Me]: “Is Big Sis feeling unhappy? I want to hug Big Sis so much, but I’m not beside Big Sis.”
[Pretty Sis Sauce Take Me]: “I’ve never comforted anyone else, and I don’t know the best way to comfort Big Sis. Wuwuwu, I’m so clumsy. Will Big Sis despise me?”
Never cares about anyone else, only cares about you! That’s double standard enough, right?
Chi Huan confidently pressed send again.
However… the message was like a clay ox entering the sea, gone forever.
Chi Huan wanted to smash her phone.
“I’m not doing this anymore! It’s so annoying!” Chi Huan cried out to the heavens.
The System quietly stated: 【Protagonist Lu You’s current mood value is 33. She is expected to enter the Despair Phase in five minutes. Please, Host, act quickly (This message is a default reminder. The System is still under maintenance. Host, please do not attempt to communicate with this System. Thank you for your cooperation!)】
Chi Huan: “…”
Wait, you’re my System. You only care about whether she’s despairing. Don’t you care if your Host is despairing?
I’m about to spontaneously combust!
Chi Huan took a deep breath, thinking this was the last one. Woman, don’t be ungrateful. I’ve changed my name so quickly my hairline is about to shift back a centimeter. If you still don’t accept my friend request…
[Sad Baozi]: “This is the first time I’ve ever spoken to someone actively. Is it destined to sink into the sea like a stone? Big Sis, are you truly so heartless?”
Five seconds later, “Ding-dong—”
Like a stone dropping into a lake, crisp and melodious!
This sound was like the music of heaven, like celestial melody winding through the beams, like divine revelation. Chi Huan felt as if she had waited ten thousand years for this reply—it was that long!
Sure enough, no one can refuse me, President Chi!
Chi Huan eagerly clicked on the latest message.
[Lu] refused your friend request. Reason for rejection: “I don’t date Omegas (OO-love).”
Chi Huan: “…”
WTF?
No, that’s not what I meant. Wait, no, I think I did mean that a little. No, no, no, that’s even more wrong. I really have no intention towards Lu You! Who dares to have intentions toward the protagonist’s woman? Won’t I get my waist chopped off?
Sad Baozi: [I’m not OO-love, I’m an Alpha. Can’t I just be friends with Big Sis?]
Silence again from the other side.
Chi Huan felt like ten thousand ants were crawling all over her.
Clutching her phone, she couldn’t figure out which part of the plan had gone wrong.
The System suddenly popped up: 【Protagonist Lu You’s mood value has risen, returning to the safe range. Congratulations, Host.】
Chi Huan: “???”
She hadn’t done anything…
Her friend request was rejected, they didn’t even get to chat, and aside from making herself half-dead with frustration, there was zero progress.
Did Lu You awaken some superpower and become happy knowing that I was having a terrible time?
Before Chi Huan could figure out the reason, someone knocked on the door.
She looked up from her phone: “Come in.”
The ward door swung open, and several tall Alphas in police uniforms walked in. The leading officer directly held his ID badge right under her nose.
“Someone reported you for verbal harassment of an Omega. Please come with us.”
Chi Huan: “…”
The hell. Lu You’s mood value suddenly increased because she found Officer Uncle to save her!
This is the sense of security felt by a citizen of our country, isn’t it?
Chi Huan didn’t dare to resist and was honestly wheeled away to the police station.
Under the harsh fluorescent lights, with the small silver handcuffs on, her whole demeanor instantly changed.
“Oh, you brought your armor with you?”
The leading Alpha, with a strong presence, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.
“Having both hands bandaged like that still didn’t stop you from harassing an Omega. A role model for our generation, my admiration!”
Chi Huan: “…”
“Chen Chen, glorious public servant,” the Alpha police officer introduced himself briefly. “Tell me, what happened?”
Chi Huan honestly replied, “I had an argument with my girlfriend and was trying to find a way to apologize.”
Chen Chen flipped through the report: “No way. The victim reported ‘continuous harassment from an unfamiliar Alpha.’ Do you know what the word ‘unfamiliar’ means?”
Chi Huan covered her face: “My crime was pretty serious, so I didn’t dare use my main account. I used a burner account to coax her, and she didn’t recognize me.”
“Oh,” Chen Chen raised an eyebrow. “For every ten Alpha harassment cases that come through here, eight claim they know the victim.”
“Then there are the other two…”
“The other two are repeat offenders; we know them even if they don’t say anything.”
Chi Huan: “…”
“Don’t worry. When the victim arrives, we’ll let her see you, and we’ll know if you know her. If you’re innocent, you can still catch a late-night snack when you leave here tonight. If you’re messing with me…”
“… I’ll be wearing these police-exclusive silver handcuffs to eat the late-night snack?”
Chen Chen leaned back and said with a smile, “Still thinking about a late-night snack? If you really harassed an Omega, you should pack up and prepare to stay here for two or three months.”
“If you really want to eat, you can pre-order it. By the time you get out of here, you can finally have a hot bite.”
Chi Huan quietly said, “Two or three months?”
Just for a few messages?
Seeing her look of disbelief, Chen Chen kindly pulled out a large book, flipped to the section on “Alpha Harassment of Omegas” related laws, and slid it across the table.
“In recent years, the Alpha crime rate has been getting higher. This year, the Ministry of Justice specifically revised this section of the law, and all related penalties have been more than doubled.”
Chen Chen sighed a bit as he spoke, “Bad luck for you. Harassing an Omega right now is like walking straight into a bullet.”
After giving Chi Huan, the legal novice, an education, Chen Chen took a sip of tea with a sense of accomplishment and looked out the window: “Has the victim arrived?”
A Beta female officer’s voice came from outside the window: “Not yet. What? Deputy Chen, are you done with the interrogation?”
“Done. You’ve worked hard overtime. I’ll treat you all to a late-night snack later.”
After he finished, Chi Huan quickly said, “Officer Chen, if I can prove that I actually know Lu You—I mean, the victim—I don’t have to see her, right?”
Chen Chen scrutinized her from head to toe, rubbing his chin: “No. You’re quite stunning—pardon my slip of the tongue—you’re quite good-looking. Why are you so afraid to see the victim? Do you two really know each other?”
Chi Huan frowned. Did this person mean to say she was ‘stunning’ (niu bi – amazing/awesome)?
“Chi Huan” was indeed quite stunning: a bright, gorgeous beauty, coupled with that unrestrained confidence, she was very eye-catching.
However, no matter how stunning she was, she couldn’t see Lu You right now!
She still had to run the Scumbag Alpha plotline. If she exposed her bootlicking true nature now, how could she be a scumbag later?
She says, I just used you as a stand-in, don’t flatter yourself. Lu You laughs and says, Little thing, you’re so funny. Don’t I know how much you love me, that you’d create seventeen or eighteen burner accounts just to add me and make me happy…?
Chi Huan violently crossed out this image in her mind. Absolutely not!
Even if they really had to meet…
She repeated one last time: “I really know her!”
She pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and clicked on her photo album, intending to find a couple of photos of them together to show Chen Chen. However, after flipping through thousands of photos in the album, she couldn’t find even a single strand of Lu You’s hair.
Oh well.
She had underestimated “Chi Huan’s” Scumbag Alpha nature.
Four years of dating, and not a single photo together was saved!!
Chi Huan closed her eyes in despair.
There was no choice. She could only proceed with Plan B.
Chen Chen asked smugly, “What’s wrong? Didn’t prepare your materials? Do you need some time to Photoshop a photo together?”
Chi Huan put down her phone and took a deep breath: “I really didn’t lie.”
Chen Chen clearly didn’t believe her.
Chi Huan secretly gritted her teeth. You forced me. Don’t blame me for playing the trump card!
“No, Officer Chen—”
Chi Huan leaned back like he did, her long, dark lashes lowered, a flirtatious smile playing on her lips.
She took off the watch on her wrist—which, even though she didn’t recognize the brand, still looked incredibly expensive—and slid it across the table.
“Look at my face, then look at my watch, and think about where you brought me from.”
A top-floor VIP ward in a private hospital. The daily room rate was more expensive than staying a week in a five-star hotel. Unless one was very rich, who would sleep in a place like that?
Chen Chen picked up her watch and glanced at it: “Oh, a Richard Mille. Not bad.”
Richard Mille. Chi Huan’s small heart thumped. Even she, a simple commoner, had heard of how expensive this watch was. She never expected that Chi Huan would be wearing this thing.
But its expensiveness was exactly what she needed!
Chi Huan gave a light, casual smile: “Do you still think I was harassing that Omega?”
The woman’s chin lifted, exposing the beautiful line of her neck, her smile so gorgeous it was nearly captivating.
“To put it bluntly, Officer, if I want, there are plenty of Omegas who would throw themselves at me. Why would I bother harassing an… unremarkable Omega like her?”
“What does she have that’s worth my harassment?”
“Coaxing her with a burner account? She actually thought she was something special. She’s just a stand-in. If she annoys me, then I really won’t know her.”
