After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 5

This really works.

Lu You’s family was not wealthy. She mostly ate at the school cafeteria while in school, and after starting work, she insisted on cooking her own meals, rarely ordering takeout.

Su Huanhuan, being close to her, often used Lu You’s phone number to enjoy new customer discounts.

Therefore, even if Lu You hadn’t ordered the takeout herself, she could still write a five-star review.

Lu You was always sensitive and somewhat stubborn, unwilling to owe favors, and disliked troubling others. She never asked for help when she could do something herself.

Hence, the person coming to Chi Huan for the cash reward must be her.

Chen Chen was amazed: “You Scumbag Alphas are truly savage!”

He looked at Chi Huan’s newly registered ID, narrowing his eyes: “But why do I find this so strange? You’re using my wife’s name to hook up with an Omega?”

Chi Huan thought for a second: “Perhaps I could pay rent to use it?”

Chen Chen also pondered for a second: “Although a wife is not something that can be traded, if it’s just an ID…”

Chi Huan said deeply: “Name your price!”

Chen Chen quickly interjected: “I’ll cancel your barbecue tab for next month!”

The two happily high-fived: “Deal!”

Liu Sixing looked from one to the other, speechless: “I say, you two, I’m right here. Is there anything you can’t just ask me directly? Maybe if you asked me, it would be even cheaper.”

Time flew by quickly amid the trio’s chatter and joking.

Soon, Zhao Shu, who had received the message, rushed over and retrieved her hapless boss.

Chi Huan held her newly added WeChat contact contentedly, waving goodbye to the two men.

Zhao Shu drove in the front, and Chi Huan lay comfortably in the back leather seat, tapping away at her phone:

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: [WeChat Red Envelope]

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Thank you for your review. Wishing you warmth in three winters and no cold in spring. Welcome back again.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: [Rose] [Rose] [Rose]

As a heavy takeout user who wrote five-star reviews for cash back every day, she knew exactly how the person behind this account would reply.

She had just been counterproductive, turning herself into a perverted Alpha who harassed Omegas, so she didn’t dare to be too aggressive now. She could only cautiously start with the simplest greetings.

Lu You replied: You’re welcome. Your takeout was very delicious.

Chi Huan immediately pressed the advantage: “Thank you for the compliment. You truly are a beautiful and kind little fairy!”

The other side seemed embarrassed, only typing back after five minutes: “…Thank you.”

The female lead is very introverted. Chi Huan scratched her head, thinking she needed to find a way to bridge the distance.

On the other side, in the old city district.

Lu You was about to wash her face and rest when her phone beeped several times in succession.

At first, she suspected Chi Huan was looking for her for something.

As soon as that thought emerged, she gave a bitter smile, thinking with almost internal sarcasm, I’m truly delusional.

Hadn’t Chi Huan’s attitude been clear enough?

She didn’t care about her at all. The only reason she had pursued her and cared for her so meticulously before was because she had a face similar to another girl’s.

Now, the secret was accidentally exposed, and Chi Huan didn’t even bother to explain or cover it up, directly laying her cards on the table.

The transition from tenderness to cruelty was less than a day.

She picked up her phone and saw that the person messaging her was the barbecue stall owner she had just added tonight.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: [Image] [Image] [Image]…

A string of more than twenty pictures, all of various barbecued items.

Golden-brown roasted chicken wings and legs, vibrantly colored crayfish, various vegetables and fruits, rice noodles, rolled noodles…

Lu You was confused when she saw another message come through.

Bring them for a barbecue! No conflict is so great that barbecue can’t solve it. If there is, then have two!

Reply with the serial number for the package you need!

Lu You: “…”

She was a little amused. She received dozens of these mass-sent promotions every day and was ready to close it immediately, but her eyes caught the line of text, and she hesitated.

Su Huanhuan had treated her to a barbecue, and she definitely had to return the favor.

So, she typed and asked: I’d like to reserve Package B. Do I pay now?

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Yes, you can come directly when you want to use it. The payment record is enough.

The other side typed extremely fast, as if afraid she would change her mind.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Today is our last day for the discount. You can still enjoy the preferential price now. After today, it will return to the original price, yo~

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Buying it is a bargain! This is the first time our store has introduced a self-service style of selling. You can eat everything in the small shop for only 39.9!

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: We are running this promotion because of a big happy event today. If you miss this village, you miss this shop!

[Lu]: Big happy event?

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: That brings us to our boss. Our boss is only 20 years old this year and has successfully achieved financial freedom, owning their very first barbecue stall!

[Lu]: That’s impressive!

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: The boss said that the reason for their success is entirely due to luck and meeting a benefactor.

Lu You said sincerely: No one’s success is entirely due to luck. Your boss is very capable.

And very modest.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: On the first day the boss opened the store, they earned 20,100 yuan.

[Lu]: That’s impressive. What about it?

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: They earned 100 from selling barbecue, and were compensated 20,000 because the barbecue was too terrible and they were beaten up by a customer.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Not only did they pay off their debt, but they also successfully secured the raw material costs for next month, and my salary is secured (‘▽’)

Lu You: “…”

That certainly qualifies as meeting a benefactor.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: And today is the one-year anniversary of the boss meeting that benefactor! So the boss decided to run a promotion to celebrate!

[Lu]: … Alright then. I’ll reserve a dinner for two.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Thank you for your patronage!

[Lu]: You’re welcome.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: This laborer must continue the struggle! Boss, bye-bye!

[Lu]: Goodbye.

After chatting for a few rounds, even though she knew the other person was just joking around, Lu You’s heavy mood lightened considerably.

She had just put down her phone when she heard a heavy object drop outside, accompanied by other scattered sounds, likely the clatter of bowls and chopsticks.

This house was left by her parents. They worked out of town year-round, leaving only her and her grandmother at home.

She was inside, so the person outside must be her grandmother.

Lu You didn’t care that her eyes were still red. She quickly opened the door and ran out to check.

As soon as she turned into the living room, she saw her elderly grandmother fainted by the door to the master bedroom.

The old woman lay unconscious on the floor, a porcelain bowl overturned by her feet. Milk was spilled all over the floor, soaking a large area of her trouser leg.

Lu You was terrified and panicked. She rushed over and called out “Grandma” twice, but the old woman remained unresponsive.

Her heart sank. She instinctively reached for her phone, and before she could dial the emergency number, a name popped up on the screen.

Chi Huan.

Years of emotional connection are not easily severed. While she said she wanted to break up, her heart still subconsciously relied on this person.

Especially in a situation like this.

Lu You clutched the phone like a life raft, her trembling finger connecting the call: “Chi Huan…”

Chi Huan noticed the distress in her voice and paused: “What’s wrong?”

The voice was as flamboyant as ever, but tinged with unconcealed concern. This familiar tone pierced Lu You’s heart like a needle.

Lu You broke down in sobs, as if she had suffered an enormous grievance: “My grandmother, she fainted! Chi Huan, what should I do?”

Chi Huan quickly said: “Don’t be afraid. Keep Grandma lying flat. Unbutton her clothes to keep her breathing clear. I’ll immediately have Zhao Shu contact people to send her to the hospital.”

Lu You did as she was told, waiting nervously, but then silence followed from Chi Huan’s side.

She couldn’t bear to hang up. The phone in her hand felt like her only reliance.

Time passed agonizingly slowly.

After a long while, she finally heard Chi Huan’s voice again: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll be there right away.”

When Chi Huan said “right away,” she meant it. From the phone call until the elderly woman was taken to the hospital, no more than fifteen minutes passed.

The ambulance ran several red lights and arrived at Lu You’s house in the shortest possible time, loading the person onto the stretcher.

At the hospital, the stretcher was wheeled directly into the emergency room.

Chi Huan was far away and arrived five minutes late. As the elevator door opened, she saw Lu You sitting outside the emergency room.

The hospital’s cold corridor reflected the fluorescent light, making the white tiles look starkly pale.

Lu You sat on the bench outside the emergency room, her head buried deeply in her hands, her thin back trembling slightly.

The hospital was quiet late at night. The girl had clearly rushed out and hadn’t even grabbed a jacket, and her calves were turning pale from the cold.

Chi Huan hesitated, walked over, and took off her own trench coat to cover her, softly comforting her: “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Lu You looked up. Her previously delicate lips were now blue-white, and her round, deer-like eyes were filled with panic and uncertainty.

So pitiful, Chi Huan thought.

But…

【Key plot point triggered. Please, Host, complete the required plot.】

The System’s cold, hard voice echoed in her mind.

Chi Huan thought with annoyance, Didn’t this broken System go for an upgrade? How can it still be rushing me like this? It’s like summoning a soul.

The System seemed to sense her hesitation and repeated the notification.

【Key plot point triggered. Please, Host, complete the required plot.】

What is a key plot point? It is a turning point that can affect the entire plot direction.

Lu You discovering the stand-in truth was one, and her decision to stay or leave afterward was another.

How could someone as stubborn and proud as Lu You, who even felt compelled to transfer the three-yuan cash-back reward to Su Huanhuan, accept being a stand-in?

She would definitely break up with Chi Huan.

But since the plot had just begun, how could the author let her leave Chi Huan so easily?

Her grandmother’s severe illness was the chain that would bind her to Chi Huan.

Without a doctor’s diagnosis, Chi Huan, who had just read the original plot, already knew the cause of her grandmother’s collapse.

It was uremia, often referred to as the undying cancer.

A terrible disease that strips a person of their ability to work, forcing them to rely on the care of others and expensive treatment to prolong their life.

Above all else, the high medical expenses alone would be enough to crush this impoverished family.

Chi Huan pursed her lips. Holding the trembling girl in her arms, she felt a trace of pity.

She softened her voice as much as possible, patting her back soothingly: “Youyou, don’t be afraid. I’m still here.”

I’ve arrived. I’m no longer the Chi Huan who only saw you as a stand-in and tried to control you with money. I am me.

Barbecue Stall Boss Liu!
