The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 13
The film set was in chaos. Gu Yu stood at the edge of the crowd with her wrist down, holding the broken sword. She hadn’t changed out of her costume yet. The large patches of red on her white immortal robe made the wounds on her wrist look less noticeable.
The male lead was surrounded by over a dozen people. Even from a distance, his loud voice could be heard.
“What’s going on?! Why is there a problem with the prop? Now my face is scratched! How am I supposed to act from now on? Who’s responsible for this?!”
This was followed by frantic soothing from the people around him, and the scene became very noisy.
Liu Yanxi stood to the side, her face somber, watching this. Anyone with eyes could tell she was in a very bad mood.
The assistant next to her mumbled, “It’s just a small scratch. He should just go to the hospital. Otherwise, the wound will heal on its own.”
The self-healing ability of alphas was generally strong, not to mention that the other person only had a small scratch on his face. There was no need to make such a big fuss.
As if to prove her point, the male lead pushed away the people surrounding him, revealing a face with a slight scratch. The wound was about the size of one finger, not deep at all, just a fine red line with a hint of blood.
He said, “Director Liu, you see my situation now. I need to go to the hospital immediately. I’m afraid I’ll have to be absent from filming for the next two days.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions varied. Liu Yanxi felt her temple throbbing with anger.
Unlike the tense atmosphere over there, Zuo Jia was at the edge of the crowd. She was always inconspicuous, and no one noticed her at this moment.
She looked in Gu Yu’s direction. If she remembered correctly, the other person also seemed to be injured. Her eyes scanned downward, and as expected, she saw Gu Yu’s wrist, which was covered in various scratches, some of which were bleeding.
Unlike the male lead, who was surrounded by a crowd, no one paid attention to Gu Yu. The alpha stood there, looking a little lonely and distant.
Zuo Jia hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and prepared to go over.
The next second, a figure suddenly appeared in her sight, vibrant like fire, with a warmth that seemed to melt snow. She quickly approached Gu Yu. She recognized who it was, the omega who had been to the film set before.
The half-step she had taken forward paused, and a moment later, she quietly stepped back.
••••
On this side, Gu Yu was a little surprised to see Song Xinran at the film set.
Song Xinran looked at Gu Yu with a sense of urgency. “Where are you hurt? Is it serious?”
Without waiting for an answer, she saw the broken sword and asked, “How did this sword break?”
There were too many questions. Gu Yu didn’t know which one to answer first. She should have asked why Song Xinran was here or wondered why she was so concerned about her.
But she chose neither. Instead, her eyes were uncontrollably drawn to Song Xinran’s hair.
The other person had probably rushed here in a hurry. A strand of hair on her head was caught on something and was sticking up, looking a little like a cowlick.
It didn’t quite match the usual flamboyant image that Miss Song presented to people, but it was unexpectedly cute.
Gu Yu stared at that strand of hair for two seconds. Her fingers felt a little itchy. She had a bit of OCD. At this moment, she wanted to smooth that sticking-up strand down and press it back in place.
Song Xinran, seeing her not speak, was a little anxious. She was about to ask again when she heard the alpha in front of her say in a low voice, “Miss Song, your hair is messy.”
Because her voice was so low, it sounded a little cold, but when it reached Song Xinran’s ears, it made her feel embarrassed.
“Is, is that so?” She immediately pursed her lower lip, thinking, Doesn’t that mean my current appearance is a mess?
“Mmm.” Gu Yu’s hands were at her side. Her thumb and index finger rubbed against each other. After holding back for a moment, she still said, “It’s on the top of your head. You probably can’t see it. Miss Song, do you need me to help you smooth it down?”
By all accounts, Song Xinran should have refused. But in reality, when she heard this, she became a statue. She didn’t refuse, but she didn’t agree either. It was awkward, but it was as if she was actively waiting for something.
So, Gu Yu understood.
“Miss Song, my apologies,” she said softly and politely. It was inconvenient to hold the broken sword with her left hand, so she raised her right hand and slowly reached toward the top of Song Xinran’s head.
She gave Song Xinran plenty of time to step back, but the other person didn’t move.
The omega wasn’t wearing high heels today and was a little shorter than Gu Yu. Her features were flamboyant and stunning, like a blooming rose, but the way she stood there with her hands tightly clasped, waiting to be “groomed,” gave off a sense of docility.
It seems that Miss Song cares a lot about her image. A faint smile appeared in Gu Yu’s eyes. Her fingertips slowly smoothed down the omega’s beautiful hair.
The feeling of her hair being gently touched was transmitted to her brain, signaling the intimacy of the alpha’s actions.
The tips of her ears, hidden under her hair, turned completely red. Song Xinran felt that her mind was a complete mess right now.
Recalling Shen Xinyi’s words from not long ago, she thought with a dazed mind.
Dr. Shen was right. This alpha’s pheromones must have a high compatibility with mine. Otherwise, why would I become so confused just by being touched by her?
The influence of pheromones is really strong.
The whole process didn’t take long. After making sure her hair was smooth, Gu Yu pulled her fingertips away and moved her hand back.
It was at this moment that Song Xinran noticed the wound that Gu Yu had been deliberately hiding under her sleeve.
She didn’t wait for Gu Yu to pull her hand back. She suddenly grabbed Gu Yu’s forearm, her expression serious and earnest. “Gu Yu, what happened to your hand?”
Gu Yu’s fingers flexed slightly. She twisted her wrist, trying to pull her hand away, but Song Xinran’s grip tightened. Her eyes were fixed on her, as if she was demanding an answer.
Gu Yu had no choice but to say, “There was a small problem during filming. It’s fine. It’s just a small wound.”
She was telling the truth. She had acted in many shows in her past life and had been injured countless times, many of which were much more serious than this.
Especially in the first few years she was in the industry, she had no connections and bad luck. She had filmed every kind of dangerous scene. Once, she fell from a dozen meters high while on a wire. The bones in her right arm were dislocated, but because she wasn’t famous, no one cared or paid attention. They only gave her five hundred yuan for medical treatment.
The entertainment industry had always been a cruel place. She didn’t have the right to be picky or delicate.
But Song Xinran was staring at her wound. Her usually bright eyes were now a shade darker, and her brows were lowered, looking a little sad.
She said softly, “How can it be nothing? There are so many scratches on it. How can it be nothing?” These were not the kind of injuries you’d get from normal filming. They looked more like they were caused by many sharp fragments.
“You helped me out before. Since it’s not convenient for you to do it yourself, I’ll help you take care of it… to pay you back.”
With that, without waiting for Gu Yu to refuse, she turned and walked over to Liu Yanxi. Because others were present, she called out, “Director Liu.”
Liu Yanxi was already having a headache. She turned her head when she heard the voice and saw her. “Mmm,” she said. “You’re here.”
Song Xinran had already called her on the way here.
Song Xinran said, “Gu Yu’s hand has a lot of scratches. I’m going to take her to get it treated.”
Only then did Liu Yanxi suddenly remember. She lightly slapped her forehead. “Things were too chaotic over here. I completely forgot about Gu Yu. Is she okay now? Go ahead and take her to get it treated.”
Song Xinran nodded and turned to leave decisively.
Liu Yanxi had no time to ponder why Song Xinran cared so much about Gu Yu. Instead, she was thinking about what the other person had just said.
A lot of scratches on her wrist?
Something flashed in her mind. She suddenly said to her assistant, “Go get the props that Gu Yu and Ming Xin were using for the scene just now.”
The assistant nodded and went immediately. She was very efficient and came back with the items in a short while. Liu Yanxi took them and carefully examined them. She found something abnormal at the end of the whip that Ming Xin had used.
The whip provided by the crew was made of a soft material. It looked heavy but didn’t hurt when it hit someone. But now, someone had embedded glass fragments in it. Because the material was soft, it was hard to see them if you didn’t look closely, but the moment the whip made contact with skin, it would turn into a sharp tool for cutting.
Liu Yanxi’s fingers touched the sharp edges, and her face became frighteningly grim. She had never expected such a thing to happen on her set.
This was clearly a malicious act. Her face was as cold as frost. She put down the whip and said, “Go check the surveillance. I want to see who dared to pull such a stunt on my set.”
On the other side, Song Xinran took Gu Yu to a relatively quiet place. The crew had a first-aid kit ready. She picked up some cotton and disinfectant and gestured to Gu Yu. “Sit down.”
Since things had already reached this point, refusing would be a bit hypocritical. Gu Yu sat down as she was told.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Song Xinran’s eyes. Then she crouched down and carefully began to clean and bandage Gu Yu’s wounds.
To avoid her view being blocked, she tied her hair into a low ponytail behind her head, revealing her fair neck.
Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was very quiet.
Song Xinran was good at bandaging. Her movements were gentle, and her technique seemed quite skilled.
After everything was done, Song Xinran looked at her work.
She could feel the alpha above her watching her. Even though the gaze was light, it made her feel a little nervous. She wanted to say something to break the silent atmosphere.
A scent wafted to her nose. It was faint at first, then gradually became stronger, like a fresh and elegant floral fragrance.
This smell was very familiar. It felt like she had smelled it somewhere before.
…It smells kind of nice.
She thought to herself and stood up. The scent gland on the back of her neck suddenly began to feel hot, and her legs went weak.
She fell right into Gu Yu’s arms.
