After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 4
Gu Zhi forcefully pulled the suppressant needle out. It was a full five centimeters long, and her leg was almost numb and immobile. She gritted her teeth, threw away the needle, and took out a new one to avoid cross-contamination. But her leg was still so numb. The needle wasn’t even that thick.
At this moment, the beauty on the bed was moaning, a mix of pain and confusion. The pheromones in the room made Gu Zhi’s heart tingle.
“Help me… help me…” Xu Muyan’s eyes were unfocused. Her heat cycle this time was more intense than usual. If she hadn’t had a sliver of consciousness left, she might have already pounced on the alpha in front of her.
Xu Muyan bit her lip. This jerk, is she going to take advantage of me?
“Miss Xu…” Gu Zhi’s gentle voice came from the side of the bed. “It won’t hurt.”
Xu Muyan nervously clutched the white bedsheets. No, no, no. I won’t be marked by this alpha. But she didn’t have the strength to fight back. Xu Muyan closed her eyes in resignation. Why is this damned alpha so annoying?
“Don’t be nervous.”
She felt Gu Zhi turn her body and touch the scent gland on her neck. The gland during a heat cycle swells up into a small lump. Even though Gu Zhi had seen it before, she was surprised. The bigger the lump, the stronger the omega’s heat cycle. The pheromones were being released even more intensely.
Gu Zhi covered her nose and mouth with one hand and injected the needle into the gland with the other. Xu Muyan, who clearly felt the sting, was suddenly taken aback. The “it won’t hurt” she mentioned… was she just talking about the suppressant injection? Why wasn’t she taking advantage of her?
She watched as all the liquid was injected. Gu Zhi finally let go, but she couldn’t stand the assault of the pheromones anymore. An omega’s pheromones can not only soothe an alpha in their rut, but they can also act as a seductive lure, especially an omega in heat. The pheromones they release are much stronger than usual. Almost no alpha can withstand it.
Gu Zhi hadn’t even fully adapted to the pheromone-filled air, but her mind was already getting restless. No! Absolutely not!
Gu Zhi’s forehead was slick with sweat. To prevent herself from losing control, she shakily opened the door and walked out.
Ten minutes later, Xu Muyan finally calmed down. With the suppressant injected, her consciousness became clearer. Had Gu Zhi just helped her with the injection? Her memories of the heat cycle were a blur. She saw that the door was still open, so she got up to check. She found Gu Zhi passed out on the floor, a suppressant needle still in her hand.
Xu Muyan was startled. She looked left and right to make sure no one was there, and then carried Gu Zhi to her bed. That’s strange. Why did she faint? She saw a tear in Gu Zhi’s pants and blood flowing from a wound. Xu Muyan looked down at the suppressant needle on the floor and her heart skipped a beat.
Why would she inject herself with a suppressant in her thigh? That would only cause trouble for her. Was it to prevent herself from being affected by the pheromones?
Xu Muyan pursed her lips. A thought that she might have become a good person suddenly crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. No, maybe she’s just deliberately trying to win me over! It has to be!
Gu Zhi’s mind was a bit hazy. She woke up groggily. “You’re awake?” A cold voice spoke from the corner.
She saw the owner of the voice sitting in a chair, arms crossed, her face cold. She was wearing a black suit, and her smooth black hair was a little damp, as if from a strenuous workout.
“Why am I lying here?” Gu Zhi asked. The moment she saw Xu Muyan’s face, she felt a slight ripple in her heart. She had to admit, the pheromones from before seemed to have made her develop a crush on Xu Muyan. Although pheromones can make a person feel dependent on another, it doesn’t happen after just one or two exposures.
“I saw you passed out at the door when I woke up. Can you still walk with your leg?” A five-centimeter needle would have hurt. It might have even damaged a nerve.
“It’s a little numb, but I can probably still walk.” Gu Zhi moved her left leg, wincing in pain as the damaged nerve protested.
Seeing that her expression didn’t seem to be a pretense, Xu Muyan thought for a while. If she called Gu Zhi’s people to her room to help her, what would happen if someone saw? This wasn’t a joke, especially since it was her room. But the two of them couldn’t possibly sleep under the same roof. Xu Muyan was still wary of her.
“Why did you inject the suppressant into your thigh?” She thought for a moment and finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
Gu Zhi twitched her lips. “Because you kicked me and accidentally jabbed the suppressant into my thigh.”
“Me?” Xu Muyan just realized all those suppressant bottles were bought by Gu Zhi.
“It’s okay, though. I should have done it, after all, I want to be good to you,” Gu Zhi chuckled and then got up. She could move her left leg a little, but she had to rely on her right leg for support.
“Can you still leave?” Xu Muyan frowned.
“I have to leave anyway. It’s not like I can sleep here,” Gu Zhi winked at her. “Don’t worry, I’ll walk to the hotel entrance and have someone pick me up. No one will find out.”
Gu Zhi gave her a reassuring smile and slowly made her way to the door. Xu Muyan pursed her lips. “I’ll open the door for you.”
Xu Muyan’s pheromones hadn’t completely dissipated yet. The moment she came close, Gu Zhi could smell them. For some reason, she was especially fond of Xu Muyan’s lavender pheromones. They made her feel at peace. She couldn’t help but let out a satisfied hum.
Goosebumps appeared all over Xu Muyan’s skin. “Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Gu Zhi quickly strode out.
“Wait!”
Gu Zhi turned back expectantly.
Xu Muyan picked up the crushed bouquet of roses that Gu Zhi had stepped on in her haste and handed it to her. She said coolly, “Take it!”
Gu Zhi said a small, sad “Oh,” and took it. After she closed the door, Xu Muyan leaned against the wall with a heavy sigh. What was up with this Gu Zhi? She didn’t seem to be faking it. If she was, she should have already won a Best Actress award. Xu Muyan pursed her lips. She’d better not be deliberately doing all this.
“CEO Gu, this is a new reality show from Annan TV called Our Countryside Life. Our company is one of the producers, so it’s no problem for you to arrange for Miss Xu to be on it,” Han Yun said, giving her the show’s information.
Annan TV had the highest ratings, and its reality shows were almost always popular, with several becoming massive hits. Being a network TV show also increased its visibility, and Annan TV’s reputation guaranteed the show wouldn’t be a flop. And since it was a countryside experience show, it was very suitable for Xu Muyan.
Ever since the heat cycle incident, Xu Muyan had also agreed to add her on WeChat. Gu Zhi wanted to send her a message.

Gu Zhi happily waited for Xu Muyan’s reply. After two hours, she finally got one.
–[What do you want?]
Gu Zhi pouted. Why so cold?
–[There’s a reality show I want to recommend to you]
–[Tan Ning should know about it. She’ll inform you later.]
–[Sad puppy.jpg]
Xu Muyan had no work today. She was bored, watching TV in her cramped apartment. She could have been living in a big house, but to avoid Gu Zhi’s pursuit, she had moved alone to a cheap little apartment in a neighborhood they wouldn’t expect. It only had one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom—pathetically small. It’s all because of her! Xu Muyan gritted her teeth. Tan Ning had already told her about it.
Actors need exposure, and it’s best to be in both films and TV shows. She wouldn’t let herself not go.
–[Got it.]

Gu Zhi happily sent the excited emoji. But she felt like it wasn’t enough. She wanted to talk more with Xu Muyan, but wouldn’t constantly bothering her be a form of harassment? Gu Zhi pouted unhappily.
“Little Han,” Gu Zhi called out.
Han Yun replied, “Yes, CEO Gu?”
“Tell me, if I want to get rid of someone’s wariness and increase their affection for me, what should I do?”
Han Yun quickly realized that “someone” was Xu Muyan. Tsk tsk, just one night was enough to make CEO Gu so infatuated. How good is this Xu Muyan’s charm?
“Based on my experience and knowledge, you should send them flowers, take them out to dinner, and give them little gifts they like.”
Gu Zhi sighed. “When I sent her flowers, she didn’t seem to like them very much. And she doesn’t seem to want to see me. If I can’t see her, how can I take her out to dinner?” She blamed herself for her lack of social skills. In her past life, she saw playboys and social butterflies who could charm anyone they met. Socializing was truly a skill.
Han Yun was stunned. He wondered if this Xu Muyan was playing hard to get with CEO Gu. “CEO Gu, I have a plan.”
“What?”
“Since Miss Xu doesn’t want to see you, you can secretly send her gifts. As for dinner, you can invite a group of people, but you can be especially attentive to her. I have several omega friends who tell me that female omegas especially love it when their partner is only good to them. It proves how important they are,” Han Yun said, gesturing with his hand and raising his eyebrows proudly.
Gu Zhi nodded, feeling his words made a lot of sense.
That evening, after Xu Muyan finished dinner, she heard someone at the door making a delivery. She quickly put on a mask and got dressed. “Hello, this is a red velvet cupcake.”
“I don’t remember ordering a cake,” Xu Muyan said. She couldn’t help but swallow when she saw the bright strawberries and white cream flowers on top.
“A user named ‘I Am Not Human’ bought it for you. She said it was very important that it gets to you.” The delivery person left after saying that.
Xu Muyan frowned, and it quickly occurred to her that the user was probably Gu Zhi.
–[Did you order this cake for me?]
This was the first time Xu Muyan had initiated a conversation with her on WeChat. Gu Zhi was so happy she wanted to dance, but she was worried Xu Muyan would know she was the one who ordered it, so she lied.
–[No, I’ve never ordered a cake before.]
–[Cute puppy.jpg]
Xu Muyan was stunned. If it wasn’t her, who was it? She wouldn’t eat a cake from a stranger, even if it looked incredibly tempting.
–[Anyway, I’m not going to eat it.]
Gu Zhi let out a disappointed “ah.” Don’t be like that!!
