After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 24

Xu Muyan suddenly grasped Gu Zhi’s hand, causing Gu Zhi to freeze. “Let me feed you,” Xu Muyan smiled gently. She sensually pushed back her long hair. The sunlight from the window streamed in, dividing her face into light and shadow, creating a dramatic atmosphere.

Ji Mo and Wo Aini watched, dumbfounded.

Xu Muyan forked a freshly cut piece of steak and held it out to Gu Zhi. She said softly, “The beef is chewy; it’s better to cut it a bit smaller.”

Gu Zhi’s cheeks suddenly flushed. She took a bite and hummed in agreement.

“Have some orange juice.” Xu Muyan arranged everything for her, perfectly acting the part of a considerate girlfriend.

Ji Mo pouted, suddenly feeling a little envious.

Gu Zhi took a sip. “Sister, isn’t this your drink?”

Xu Muyan hummed. “I can’t finish it.”

Gu Zhi bit the straw. This is the straw Xu Muyan drank from. The sweetness of the orange danced on her taste buds, with a hint of lavender. Gu Zhi quickly finished the entire glass.

“Aini, you have sauce on your lip.” Ji Mo wiped it away. “It’s gone now.”

Wo Aini looked thrilled. “Thank you, Hu-hu.”

Ji Mo smiled in satisfaction, feeling quite virtuous.

Gu Zhi stared, speechless. Why is this person so cheesy!

…

In the afternoon, Xu Muyan planned to take Gu Zhi to experience a VR technology game. Gu Zhi had never played before and was very excited upon hearing about it.

Ji Mo overheard their conversation. He hadn’t decided what to do that afternoon, so he asked, “Oh, I was actually planning to do that too. Why don’t we go to the same place?”

Gu Zhi wanted to say no. With these two around, she wouldn’t be able to flirt freely. But for the sake of the cameras, she had to appear friendly, at least getting along with them so they would speak well of her later.

“Sister, what do you think?”

“Of course, that’s fine.”

At the VR experience center, the four put on their VR headsets and wandered in an open space. The experience was called Dark Lab.

The VR experience was incredibly immersive. A 3D scene unfolded before Gu Zhi’s eyes. Even though she knew it was just a game and many people were nearby, the visual and auditory effects made it terrifyingly real. To be honest, the environment was genuinely scary; Gu Zhi’s legs nearly gave out. If an alpha like her was this scared, an omega like Xu Muyan must be terrified. No, I must find Xu Muyan now.

“Sister, where are you?” Gu Zhi whispered, but with the headphones on, Xu Muyan couldn’t hear her. They were about ten meters apart.

Gu Zhi saw a room ahead. She nonchalantly opened the door, and suddenly a monster lunged out, making Gu Zhi scream loudly.

The sound must have been loud enough, as Xu Muyan heard it and called out, “Gu Zhi?”

Ji Mo, startled by Gu Zhi, also screamed. He reached out to grab Wo Aini. Simultaneously, Gu Zhi also reached out for Xu Muyan. She had to grab her!

In a flash, Gu Zhi touched someone’s small hand. Thinking it was Xu Muyan, she was overjoyed and immediately grabbed the wrist, only to find the wrist much bigger than before. Gu Zhi disgustedly shook it off.

The realism of the scene was too much. Xu Muyan also seemed scared and called out again, “Gu Zhi?” They were now about three meters apart.

Gu Zhi strained all her hearing to find Xu Muyan. Hearing her voice, she shouted, “I’m here!”

Xu Muyan looked toward her. Both seemed aware of the other’s presence. Gu Zhi strode forward and touched cold fingertips.

“Sister,” she asked. Xu Muyan tightly gripped Gu Zhi’s hand. After so many times holding hands, how could she not recognize it?

“Gu Zhi…”

Gu Zhi firmly held Xu Muyan’s hand, fingers intertwined. Suddenly, she wasn’t afraid of anything. She gently put an arm around Xu Muyan. “If you’re scared, you can lean on me.”

Xu Muyan hummed. She was scared. She needed someone to protect her. She leaned into Gu Zhi’s embrace, inhaling the faint scent of red wine pheromones that was released due to her nervousness. The two stood close together in harmony, like a match made in heaven that couldn’t be separated.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ji Mo was so scared he was clinging to a railing, yelling, “Wo Aini! Wo Aini, come save me!” Wo Aini, who was further away, was also paralyzed with fear, curled up in a corner, unable to come and protect Ji Mo.

…

The Jiang Family Home.

“Shiyi, we’ve been good friends for so many years. You have to help me get revenge!” Yu Fan sat on the floor, looking disheveled. In just a few days, his once carefree appearance had become incredibly thin.

“It’s only been a few days. Why are you in such a state?” Jiang Shiyi took a sip of wine, frowning.

“Because of my father, none of those friends are willing to take me in. The Xu family even acquired shares in my company. My mother is being bullied by her own family. Now all I can do is drink my sorrows away.” Yu Fan was heartbroken. Since childhood, he had lived a privileged life, always admired by others. Now, having fallen from the peak to the trough, his mood was naturally terrible.

Jiang Shiyi smiled faintly. “Didn’t I tell you not to do that kind of thing in that setting? You just wouldn’t listen.”

“How was I supposed to know that Gu Zhi was serious about Xu Muyan? In the past, how could a mere female celebrity catch her eye!”

“People change.” Jiang Shiyi swirled her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. She pulled Yu Fan up by his clothes. “Your clothes reek of alcohol. Are you always so rude when you come to my house?”

“But… no one is helping me wash my clothes,” Yu Fan said, looking utterly pathetic.

“Can’t you wash them yourself?!” A glamorous woman in a white suit and white trousers appeared at the door.

Xu Ranzhi smoothed her long hair, her eyes sharp as blades, strikingly cold. She walked straight over and slapped Yu Fan. Yu Fan was stunned. He and Xu Ranzhi were relatives, yet she dared to bully her cousin like this!

“Xu Ranzhi, are you crazy!”

“I am crazy! I heard you drugged Xu Muyan, which is why you offended Gu Zhi, is that right?” Xu Ranzhi’s eyes were filled with ruthless venom, as if she wanted to devour the alpha in front of her.

Others only knew that Yu Fan’s fall from grace was due to his father’s scandal, but the drugging of the female celebrity was a secret. Yu Fan looked at Jiang Shiyi, who simply offered a faint smile.

“Who told you to drug Xu Muyan?” Xu Ranzhi’s gaze shifted from Yu Fan to Jiang Shiyi.

Jiang Shiyi threw her hands up in a gesture of innocence. “Why are you looking at me?”

“Jiang Shiyi, I’ve known you for ten years. We fought side by side in university so many times. I always believed in your character. It wasn’t until I saw you hanging out with Yu Fan that I realized you are also just someone deeply entrenched in the mud.” Xu Ranzhi’s voice was icy, as if gathering days of resentment.

“Why would you say that?” Jiang Shiyi continued to smile.

“You are known by the company you keep.” Xu Ranzhi leaned in, meeting her gaze. Their eyes met, like a sudden flash of lightning and thunder.

“I’m going back to H-City. Before I go, don’t let me hear that you’ve done anything to Xu Muyan, or I will not forgive you first!” Xu Ranzhi bit her lip.

She looked at Yu Fan, whose face was marked by red fingerprints, scoffed mockingly, and left the Jiang residence.

“Shiyi, why is she protecting Xu Muyan?” Yu Fan asked.

Jiang Shiyi brushed the long hair from her forehead. “I can’t tell you that yet.”

Yu Fan grabbed her clothes. “Shiyi, then I…”

Jiang Shiyi frowned, sensing the dust all over him. “You shouldn’t stay in A-City.”

…

On the way back to the house, Gu Zhi wanted to stop at a convenience store for a chicken skewer. But after stopping, she didn’t get out of the car.

Xu Muyan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Suddenly, Xu Muyan was pulled into an embrace, and her lips were blocked. Xu Muyan moaned softly, gasping for breath. Gu Zhi slowly pulled away and whispered, “Nothing. I just wanted to kiss you.”

Xu Muyan was silent for a moment. Her slender fingers gently caressed Gu Zhi’s face, her voice slightly more seductive than usual. “There will be plenty of chances to kiss.”

Gu Zhi got out of the car, satisfied.

Xu Muyan also got out for some fresh air. She noticed a luxury car in the distance flash its lights. A graceful, tall figure walked toward her. Xu Muyan looked closely, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

“Is something the matter?”

Xu Ranzhi smiled. “Sister.” “I’m going back to H-City for work, so I might not return for a long time,” Xu Ranzhi said. “I wanted to see you before I left.”

Xu Muyan felt a prolonged sense of melancholy for some reason.

“Can I hug you?” she pleaded.

Xu Muyan looked at her. Xu Ranzhi was dressed in a suit and trousers, like a corporate elite. Her naturally tall figure and composed, powerful demeanor perfectly suited this style. In Xu Muyan’s memory, Xu Ranzhi’s image was still stuck in middle school. Back then, she also liked lollipops, wore baggy school uniforms, would smile sweetly at her, and would generously share her favorite ice cream flavors.

Xu Muyan genuinely didn’t understand what kind of person Xu Ranzhi was. She had always known Xu Ranzhi to be a cold, meticulously self-serving person, so why did she act like a child in front of her? Regardless, even if her heart was reluctant, her actions showed her affection for Xu Ranzhi.

Xu Muyan hugged her. The evening wind was cool, and their embrace became a little warmer. Xu Ranzhi hugged Xu Muyan tightly. It was like that day during the storm when she was drenched on the playground. In her despair, a figure suddenly hugged her and used her jacket to shield her from the pouring rain.

Finally, Xu Ranzhi said, “If you have any trouble, you… you can tell me.”

Xu Muyan smiled. “Don’t worry. Gu Zhi will handle it for me.”

Xu Ranzhi paused, a look of jealousy crossing her eyes.

At that moment, Gu Zhi came running out with the chicken skewers, laughing. “Sister, do you want to try one? They’re delicious!” She stopped short, seeing the two tightly embracing. Should she step away? Wait. This is my girlfriend!

“What are you doing?!” Gu Zhi said coldly.

Xu Ranzhi walked up to her, her presence strong and powerful. Gu Zhi did not back down. She knew Xu Ranzhi was here to steal her!

“Although you taught Yu Fan a lesson, and I should be grateful, I still feel you are not worthy of my Sister. Sister can only belong to me, understand?”

Gu Zhi found this hilarious. Why is this little sister so stubborn! “Xu Muyan is not an object; she belongs only to herself,” Gu Zhi said firmly.

Xu Ranzhi paused, then gave a reluctant snort. “But she is very happy with you.” Xu Ranzhi looked at Gu Zhi for a long time before finally saying these words with great difficulty.

Gu Zhi chose to hold Xu Muyan’s hand, gripping it tightly. Xu Muyan unexpectedly squeezed back, as if assuring Xu Ranzhi that she had Gu Zhi, and she should not worry.

Xu Ranzhi’s eyes became moist. She had returned from abroad so early to take charge of the company, all to gain more power so that her Sister could live a happy life. But things are pretty good now, too.

She said goodbye to Xu Muyan and drove away. She closed her eyes solemnly. Before leaving, she had sent people to drag Yu Fan into an alley and beat him up. As for Jiang Shiyi? Xu Ranzhi scoffed. Even though she was her only good friend, if she dared to bully her Sister, she was an enemy.

Gu Zhi watched her drive away, pursing her lips. “Sister, her tone was so aggressive.”

Xu Muyan comforted her. “It’s alright. Let’s go back.”

Gu Zhi hummed, but secretly thought: Not only do I have to guard against perverts who covet Xu Muyan’s beauty, but I also have to guard against her biological sister? Looks like I need to stay vigilant in the future!
