The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 35
How could one describe that face?
Her eyebrows and eyes were like a landscape ink painting, and the expression in those eyes was just as serene.
It was like the thin layer of snow covering a high mountain, or the cool mist that rose in the morning, distant and slightly indifferent.
In her white immortal robe and with a sword in her hand, when she looked up, it was as if she had crossed time and space and made eye contact with an immortal from another world.
If one had to describe it, she had a reclusive beauty that didn’t belong to the current fast-paced life. There were many beautiful people in the entertainment industry, but Gu Yu’s aura was what made her unforgettable.
The live stream equipment had a high-definition resolution. Even from a distance, one could see the expression on her face clearly.
Being watched by such a pair of eyes, it felt as if time itself had slowed down.
Silence…
It felt like a long time before the bullet comments slowly reappeared.
“Is this… Gu Yu?”
“She’s so beautiful I’m speechless. From now on, the cold, immortal lords in novels have a face.”
“This is the alpha you guys said was heavily photoshopped? Does she need to be heavily photoshopped when she looks like this???”
“Internet rumors are the death of people. Where are all those people who said Gu Yu was ugly before? Why aren’t you speaking up now?”
“How can you have the heart to say the word ‘ugly’ when looking at a face like this? My heart aches.”
“I’m the passerby who took that picture. It was really a coincidence. I took it on the bus. It wasn’t staged!!! I explained many times before, but no one listened and they came to scold me. Do you believe me now!”
••••
In an apartment building in a certain neighborhood, an omega in a high school uniform typed this line angrily. She was the one who took that picture on the bus. She originally only shared this picture in her friends’ group chat. Somehow, it got out and went viral on the internet.
Going viral was one thing, but a group of people were saying that the picture was a heavily photoshopped marketing stunt. She couldn’t help but explain, and a bunch of people came to mock her. She felt so frustrated and wronged.
Now, she let out a long breath. The feeling of frustration that was stuck in her chest was finally gone. It felt incredibly refreshing!
Awesome!!!
The bullet comments continued, scrolling by quickly.
“Ice queen! Let me lick! Ice queen! Let me lick! Ice queen! Let me lick!”
“I really want to know what her pheromone smells like… I want to take a big whiff of her pheromones!”
“Boo-hoo-hoo, why is her gland blocked by her hair? (Shy)”
“The person above is a pervert. Get out.”
“I can’t understand the text. I want to marry her.”
“Oh my goodness, why wasn’t a face like this popular before?”
“I looked at some old posts. Gu Yu has changed a lot from before.”
Of course, after the initial shock wore off, many people regained their senses and continued to angrily type on their keyboards.
“The change in your attitude is way too fast.”
“Oh, please. What’s the use of being good-looking? Her acting is probably terrible.”
“The person above, you know that too? You know her acting is bad?”
“Do you guys only care about looks? I’m honestly so done. Have some dignity, okay? Have you forgotten that she’s a privileged person who added scenes for herself? You guys are truly starved.”
But this time, it was no longer a one-sided situation. A wave of fans who fell for her looks had switched sides.
“Are you guys sure it’s true? You’re so quick to call her a privileged person. You’re so impressive.”
“The information on the internet is both true and false. Before, you said Gu Yu was a heavily photoshopped marketing stunt. Now, you’re saying she used her connections to get into the crew and add scenes for herself. You guys really say everything.”
“Even if she did add scenes, maybe Director Liu and the original author saw that she was a good fit and gave them to her?”
“Do you even believe that yourself? Just cover your ears and keep loving her.”
“While it’s not unheard of, the last person who had scenes added for them by the crew when they were a small actor became an internationally renowned actor ten years ago. But honestly, Gu Yu… hmm, it’s hard to say.”
Even without looking at the comments, the people in front of the camera knew how intense the argument was.
Ming Xin pursed her lips slightly. Pretending to look around, she glanced at Gu Yu’s direction with a hint of worry. To avoid a bigger controversy, she angled herself so the camera couldn’t see her.
Seeing that Gu Yu’s expression was normal and that she wasn’t affected, she felt a little relieved.
That’s right. Gu Yu looked like the kind of person who wouldn’t be affected by online comments.
On the other side, Lu Feng saw this little movement and scoffed in his heart.
The props team had already set up the location and props, and the camera team was in position.
Gu Yu, Ming Xin, and Lu Feng, along with the other extras, needed to film, so they temporarily left the live stream camera’s view.
The filming area was a blind spot for the live stream. To keep the filming a secret, the live stream’s sound was also temporarily turned off. Without the people they wanted to see and without any sound, the fans lost interest and could only pass the time by sending bullet comments.
Other than some comments praising their own idols, most of the other comments were about how Gu Yu’s acting was bad and lowered the overall quality of the drama.
After one scene, it was already twenty minutes later. The people who were watching the live stream were getting impatient.
“Director Liu, I’m watching the live stream not to see the scenery here, and not to see the props team moving props around! I want to see my Xinxin! Xinxin!!”
“Let me see Gu Yu again, boo-hoo-hoo. It’s too boring. I need to rely on the beautiful alpha to survive!”
“Real-life crew behind the scenes. It’s really ‘real-life,’ ah-ah-ah-ah! You guys weren’t lying (cry).”
“Doesn’t Director Liu have any programs planned?”
Besides fans of other actors, most people had already left because it was simply too boring.
And on the other side, in the area where the live stream camera couldn’t see.
Lu Feng’s face was already ashen.
This was the first time he had acted with Gu Yu. He never expected that Gu Yu’s acting would subtly overpower his.
This scene was about the righteous sects confronting the demonic cult. At that time, Fu Qian, played by Gu Yu, had not yet been stripped of her powers. As a genius in swordsmanship, she led her sect to participate in the Grand Immortal Competition. The young immortal lord with a sword in one hand was a particularly noticeable presence.
During the competition, people from the demonic cult snuck in. Among them, the demonic cult’s holy maiden, played by Ming Xin, also joined in to watch the fun. After she was discovered by the protagonist, played by Lu Feng, they fell into a standoff.
This scene was mainly meant to create a tense atmosphere, but Lu Feng was actually struggling to keep up with Gu Yu’s acting.
Thinking of this, his expression was a little grim.
“Lu Feng! What’s with that expression? We’re filming! Be more serious!” Outside the camera’s view, Liu Yanxi shouted into a megaphone, showing no mercy.
This made Lu Feng’s expression even more grim.
As soon as this scene was finished, he left for the lounge area without saying a word.
The moment his figure appeared, the fans in the live stream room became excited again.
While cheering, some people also noticed something was off.
“Why does Lu Feng’s face look a little off? He doesn’t look very happy.”
“He’s like this during the live stream. Is he always acting like a diva in private?”
Fans couldn’t stand this. They immediately exploded.
“How is that possible! Best Actor Lu is gentle and polite. How could he be the kind of person who acts like a diva!”
“He’s making such a grim face because Gu Yu’s acting is so bad. Can’t he be unhappy when he’s being dragged down?”
“It has to be. He just finished filming, and his face immediately looks off. You don’t have to think too much about what happened.”
“Even a good-tempered person like Best Actor Lu can’t help but show his emotions. I can’t imagine how bad Gu Yu’s acting is.”
“I told you, what’s the use of being good-looking? Without any real talent, she’s still the same. And a bunch of fans who only care about looks are still defending her.”
The bullet comments were full of discussions. Even though there were already many people defending Gu Yu, Lu Feng’s fans were still the majority, and the comments defending Gu Yu were quickly suppressed.
Ming Xin didn’t know where she went for the time being. She didn’t appear on any of the seven cameras.
Gu Yu was on the other side of the lounge, which was the area of the sixth camera angle.
And on the sixth camera angle, a large wave of people had already poured into the live stream room, which originally didn’t have many people.
“So beautiful prprprprpr”
“Mom, how can someone have the face of my dream alpha?”
“You should know your place. If your acting is bad, get out of the crew and don’t drag down our Best Actor Lu.”
••••
On the sixth camera angle where Gu Yu was, there were many extras and some minor actors. Perhaps because of the live stream, they were a little reserved. Their movements seemed constrained, and the overall atmosphere was a bit tense.
So, the bullet comments started again.
“Why is it so tense here? Best Actor Lu is chatting with other crew members over there, and the atmosphere looks so relaxed.”
“Maybe it’s because Gu Yu is here.”
“Gu Yu is just standing there by herself, and no one is talking to her. Is it because she’s usually bad-tempered and the crew members don’t dare to interact with her?”
“I’ve been wanting to say this for a while. What’s with that cold face? Who does she think she is?”
“Can she just stay by herself? I’m honestly so done. I feel bad for those young actors who are too scared to speak.”
“I’m talking to the bullet comments. In less than a few minutes, you guys know all of this again?”
The bullet comments were arguing back and forth. Gu Yu knew nothing about it. She came to the sixth camera angle mainly because the number of viewers here would likely be lower.
After all, Lu Feng was on the seventh camera angle, and Ming Xin might also be over there later. She just didn’t want to join the crowd.
Even after so long, she still wasn’t used to an overly lively atmosphere.
And Gu Yu, who couldn’t see the bullet comments or the number of viewers, had no idea that because of her, the number of viewers on the sixth camera angle was steadily increasing. A large group of people who were enthusiastically admiring her looks and the others were arguing back and forth and had completely lost their minds.
Not far away, a few staff members were carrying large props and slowly walking toward them.
After all, the path was on a mountain, so there were always uneven parts. When passing the live stream camera’s view, one person accidentally tripped and fell forward.
Just as they were about to fall, Gu Yu took a few steps forward and helped them.
It was a completely subconscious reaction.
When the person lost their balance, their heart almost jumped out of their chest in fear. After being helped, they looked up in shock and saw that it was Gu Yu. They immediately showed a grateful smile and shouted, “Thank you, Teacher Gu!”
The loud voice showed that this was a very outgoing person.
Gu Yu: “…You’re welcome.”
Bullet comments:
“Pfft, hahaha, did anyone see Gu Yu’s expression and little movement? She’s so cute.”
“I did, I did. I’m a psychology major. After that staff member shouted that, Gu Yu looked to the side, and her lips even pursed slightly. This is a micro-expression of shyness + embarrassment, hahahahaha.”
“Oh my God, what a contrast! What a contrast!”
“I’m inexplicably becoming a fan. Who understands? She looks cold on the outside but is actually a helpful and shy alpha!”
