After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 8

I heard that Xu Muyan had a very bad cold and was staying home. It’s said that pregnant omegas generally have a weak constitution, so it’s no wonder she got sick in this weather. As for how Gu Zhi knew, she just paid Tan Ning to keep her updated.

“Did the assistant take her medicine?”

Tan Ning replied, “Muyan rarely gives us her home address. As you know, she’s quite solitary, likes to live alone, and handles everything by herself.”

Gu Zhi sighed. That’s just how Xu Muyan was—lacking affection, distant, and hating to bother others. But this kind of person, who wouldn’t normally be liked, made her feel even more protective.

“I know where she lives. Let me send it!”

“But… didn’t Muyan warn you not to meet her?”

“I’ll just order delivery! Is that okay?”

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain, and no delivery drivers would accept the order. One finally accepted, only to cancel it later. So Gu Zhi had no choice but to go deliver the medicine herself. As she left, she sneezed. She had a cold, too, but it wasn’t as bad as Xu Muyan’s.

Xu Muyan was lying in bed, unable to sleep. Her eyes hurt from looking at her phone, which was on silent, so she didn’t hear Gu Zhi’s call at all. The apartment was also well-insulated, and Xu Muyan was in a half-conscious state, so she couldn’t be bothered to listen for the doorbell.

Gu Zhi braved the heavy rain and started climbing the wall. Xu Muyan’s rental was on the third floor, but there were a few small balconies she could use for support. Unexpectedly, when she reached the second floor, a woman opened her window and made eye contact with Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi chuckled nervously. “Ma’am… hello. I-I’m not a thief.”

The woman’s face was expressionless as she took a clothes hanger and started hitting Gu Zhi with it. Gu Zhi couldn’t hold on and fell, landing on her car. The car alarm immediately woke Xu Muyan. She got up and opened the window. Outside, all she saw was a curtain of rain. But wait, was there someone sleeping on the roof of a car?

When Gu Zhi woke up, she felt dizzy. She already had a cold, and after being drenched in the rain, she had developed a low-grade fever.

“You’re awake,” Xu Muyan’s slightly tired voice said. Gu Zhi struggled to speak. “I… I brought you medicine.”

Xu Muyan looked at the wet medicine box on the side and took a breath. “I have medicine here. You didn’t have to go to the trouble.”

Gu Zhi saw that she was covered with a blanket Xu Muyan had bought and was overjoyed. “Thank you for bringing me to your home.”

Xu Muyan said wearily, “You were unconscious, and I was just being nice and saved you. You can get lost as soon as Han Yun gets here.”

But Gu Zhi smiled beautifully. “But I still have to thank you.”

Xu Muyan ignored her. She wasn’t feeling well and her face and lips were incredibly pale, but she was afraid to fall asleep because there was a pervert in her house. Gu Zhi never expected that she would come to deliver medicine and end up with a fever herself.

Xu Muyan asked, “Why did you come to deliver the medicine yourself?”

Gu Zhi replied, “I was afraid you wouldn’t take care of yourself with your cold.”

Xu Muyan shook her head. “A CEO personally delivering medicine to me… I’m quite flattered.”

Gu Zhi was about to say something but sneezed instead. Xu Muyan couldn’t help but laugh. Gu Zhi felt embarrassed again in front of her goddess.

“Oh my,” Xu Muyan said. “Your face is really red.” She couldn’t resist reaching out to touch his forehead. A hint of lavender scent entered Gu Zhi’s nose. She could smell it even with her cold. The soft, boneless hand and the smooth touch instantly made her feel better. But soon, the hand was pulled away, and she couldn’t reach for it again.

Xu Muyan’s voice turned cold. “Your forehead is so hot. It looks like you have a serious fever.”

Gu Zhi wanted to say that the heat was from embarrassment. She quickly grabbed Xu Muyan’s hand and pressed it to her forehead, saying, “Your hand is so cold. You can help cool me down!”

Xu Muyan pulled her hand away. “You shameless jerk!”

Gu Zhi kept sneezing. This is crazy. I already had a cold, and now I’ve been out in the pouring rain. It’s going to take at least a month to recover.

Xu Muyan’s eyes flickered with a hint of concern. “Did you have a cold before this?”

Gu Zhi thought to herself that she wouldn’t tell Xu Muyan. But it was as if Xu Muyan had read her mind. She immediately retorted, “How could that be? I just…”

Xu Muyan murmured, “An alpha’s body isn’t that weak. You have a fever just from being in the rain for a little while.”

Just a little while?!

Xu Muyan put her hand on Gu Zhi’s forehead again. Gu Zhi felt as if she had taken a sedative. She didn’t care about anything else and just wanted to fall asleep. Unfortunately, the hand with the cool scent was already gone.

Gu Zhi groaned. “Again… can you do it again?”

Xu Muyan took out her phone. “Han Yun will be here soon. Just bear with it.”

Gu Zhi: ╥﹏╥…

When Han Yun arrived, Xu Muyan unceremoniously handed Gu Zhi over to him. Han Yun was surprised. “CEO Gu, what happened to you?”

Gu Zhi said, “I was delivering medicine.”

Han Yun asked, “Did you two… do anything?”

Do anything, my ass. I only got to touch her hand!

But… Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t lose anything with this medicine delivery. At least I got to touch her hand! Achoo!”

A few days later, as Xu Muyan was leaving work, she saw a bouquet of flowers on her chair. Her mood, which had been soured by her co-star’s poor acting, immediately brightened. She picked up the flowers, smelled them, and smiled.

The next day, a video of Xu Muyan accepting the flowers was posted on Weibo. The title was “Xu Muyan is Two-Timing.” The person who sent her the flowers was the famous director Yu Yezhi, a man in his fifties. It was rumored that he appreciated her acting, but in the eyes of the public, the entertainment industry was just a hotbed of romance. Some anti-fans also mocked Gu Zhi, calling her a simp who ended up losing her goddess to someone else.

After all, female celebrities were just objects for discussion to some netizens. Some male fans unfollowed her and started a flood of insults.

Netizen 1: Heh, I thought Xu Muyan was some untouchable “high-mountain flower.” She’s with Gu Zhi one moment and with a director the next. She’s a total slut!

Netizen 2: I’m never a fan of her again. She has no class as an omega!

Netizen 3: Unfollowing and attacking! I’m going to be her biggest hater!

Gu Zhi’s blood pressure rose as she read the comments. “How can they say that about her! What if it’s a misunderstanding?” The more she thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt. She decided to burrow under her covers and not eat to let herself process it.

But then she realized, What am I processing? The one being insulted is Xu Muyan! She couldn’t just sit and do nothing. She found a way to get Yu Yezhi’s contact information.

Yu Yezhi was a top director indeed. He came from a wealthy family, and his attitude was arrogant. He wasn’t willing to explain on Weibo because he believed it was pointless. People only wanted to believe the rumors, and no one cared about the truth. However, this was an attack on an omega, a baseless rumor! So she gave the order: Public relations must be handled! All marketing accounts that posted about this must delete their posts immediately! As for Yu Yezhi, she had to find a way to make him suffer!

People who didn’t know would think that Gu Zhi was Xu Muyan’s manager, and Gu Zhi wouldn’t mind being one.

That reminded her, what if Xu Muyan, who lived alone, got sick again? And what about Xu Muyan’s smile when she received the flowers? Did she and Yu Yezhi have some secret?

[Gu Zhi] Are you okay?

[Xu Muyan] You mean online? I’ve been through it so many times, I’m used to it.

You shouldn’t say that. It would make anyone depressed, Gu Zhi thought.

[Gu Zhi] I’ve already taken care of it for you. Also, do you really know Yu Yezhi? Did he send you that bouquet?

When Xu Muyan saw that she had already handled it, her heart skipped a beat. She had to admit, Gu Zhi had been incredibly good to her, and her heart rate was a little faster now. As for accepting the flowers, she thought they were from Gu Zhi.

Oh, why did I smile when I thought they were from Gu Zhi? Maybe… maybe the flowers just smelled good? But she didn’t even like smelling flowers, and she only liked roses…

[Xu Muyan] He sent them.

Gu Zhi was quite disappointed when she saw that.

[Gu Zhi] So you liked them?

[Xu Muyan] No.

When Gu Zhi saw the three words, her hope was rekindled. If she said she didn’t like them, it must be true. Gu Zhi happily jumped around on the bed.

[Gu Zhi] Really?

[Gu Zhi] [Puppy with paws on cheek.jpg]

[Xu Muyan] Really. This has nothing to do with you, so why did you help me?

[Gu Zhi] How could I not? They were calling me a simp who couldn’t get the goddess. I had to get justice!

Xu Muyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She couldn’t remember the last time she had laughed so much. It was only when she was chatting with Gu Zhi that she seemed to smile so much.
