The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 38

“We’re already preparing to file a lawsuit for Zou Xue’s case, but her family is holding on tightly. The police just called and said they are extremely uncooperative. Zou Xue has also been diagnosed with a mental illness.”

“Zou Xue’s family even made a threat, demanding that we release her and compensate them with one million for emotional damages. Otherwise, they’ll go to the media and expose the matter.”

On the set, under the shade of a large tree.

Manager Chen spoke to Ming Xin, her voice filled with anger and frustration. “What terrible luck. When I chose the new assistant, I really should have screened her more carefully. If it weren’t for Xiao Yu’s car accident and her needing to recuperate in the hospital, and you needing to rush into a new crew, we probably wouldn’t have run into this.”

Xiao Yu was the nickname of Ming Xin’s previous assistant. She had been with Ming Xin for three years. Who knew such an accident would happen?

Ming Xin didn’t say anything. Manager Chen didn’t mind and continued to talk to herself.

“Thankfully, that family didn’t come to the live stream to cause trouble. I don’t know if they’re stupid or too naive. They’re even threatening us. Zou Xue illegally entered the room and was carrying a knife, which is already a crime! It’s one thing for them to brazenly demand one million from us, but they also want to go to the media? How will they do that?!”

Her chest rose and fell. She was clearly angered by the other party’s shamelessness. Zou Xue’s family knew nothing about the entertainment industry and thought that going to the media would be their weak spot. But in reality, anyone with eyes could see who was at fault in this matter.

However, this didn’t stop Manager Chen from feeling disgusted. Because of this incident, she was worried about Ming Xin. She specifically handed off some less important work of her other artists and stayed here for the past two days.

She calmed down and said, “Speaking of this, if Gu Yu hadn’t subdued her, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Manager Chen said, her voice laced with fear. Zou Xue’s mental state was clearly not normal, and she was holding a knife. Who knew what would have happened if Gu Yu hadn’t been there in the end? Zou Xue’s family was even more outrageous. Not only did they twist the facts and brazenly demand money, but they also said such shameless things.

Fortunately, the person was caught in time. Safety was more important than anything.

“We owe Gu Yu a favor for this. We don’t know how to repay her yet.”

Manager Chen sighed. “Do you have any ideas?”

But she didn’t get a response.

Ming Xin wasn’t a quiet person, but at this moment, she was overly silent.

Manager Chen looked to her side in confusion.

She saw Ming Xin, without a word, pursing her lips and looking at a certain spot, absent-minded. Her usually smiling eyes were now lifeless. The way she was standing there, it was as if her soul had left her body.

Manager Chen subconsciously followed her gaze and saw two people standing together about twenty meters away under a large tree. Both of them had very high looks. One was as cold as frost, and the other was as passionate as fire. However, they had achieved a wonderful balance. From a distance, they looked like a perfect pair.

Manager Chen was stunned. Her sharp eyes, which she had honed from years in the entertainment industry, narrowed. “Isn’t that Gu Yu and Miss Song?”

As Xingchen Entertainment’s ace manager, she had seen Song Xinran at the company. With so many things happening recently, she had almost forgotten that Miss Song was also on the set.

But… looking at the scene of the two of them facing each other under the tree, she thought to herself, I heard a rumor that Miss Song hates alphas. But looking at this, it doesn’t seem to be entirely true…

Hearing Manager Chen’s voice, Ming Xin’s consciousness finally returned. She lowered her eyes, deliberately avoiding the scene in the distance. After she could no longer see it, she said softly, “Yes, it’s Gu Yu and Miss Song.”

The two of them were a good match, and they were surrounded by an atmosphere that no one else could intrude upon. Remembering the photo she saw not long ago, a hint of bitterness inevitably appeared in her heart because of her slight fondness for Gu Yu.

The person involved is confused, but the onlooker sees clearly. Perhaps even Gu Yu herself didn’t realize it, but the way she treated Miss Song was different from how she treated others.

••••

On the other side, Gu Yu didn’t notice Ming Xin and her manager twenty meters away. She was stunned by what Miss Song said.

She subconsciously repeated Song Xinran’s words. “You’re going to send me the photos we took at the viewing pavilion?”

“Yes, the photos.” Song Xinran’s face was calm, but her heart was a little nervous.

The scene from last night was still vivid in her mind.

The sky outside the window was dark, but the lights in her room were all on.

Her aunt suddenly sent her a few photos and hinted, “The scenery here is quite nice. But because of the angle, the photos make it look like you and Gu Yu are very close, hahahahaha.”

The line of dry “ha’s” at the end was out of character for the usually serious and meticulous Director Liu. At this moment, she was just an awkward elder trying to figure out her niece’s thoughts.

Song Xinran first opened the photos. Her fair, slender fingers looked as smooth as jade under the ceiling light. She looked at them one by one, her gaze stopping for a very short time until she reached the photo where she and Gu Yu had accidentally gotten in the shot. She stopped there.

In the photo, the alpha was turning her face to look at her.

Perhaps it was the gentle light of the sunset, but it made her feel that the look Gu Yu gave her was also gentle.

She was in a daze for a moment. When she came to her senses, she had already saved that photo, along with the group photo where she and Gu Yu were standing shoulder to shoulder.

Perhaps seeing that she hadn’t replied for a long time, Liu Yanxi couldn’t hold back and chose to ask more directly this time, “Ranran, how do you… feel about this alpha, Gu Yu?”

Song Xinran sat on the edge of the bed, recalling Gu Yu’s gaze. Her heart felt a little numb. Facing her own family, she finally let go of a bit of her pride and chose to be honest. “Aunt, I don’t know.”

She really didn’t know.

She was too confused and too terrified of this uncontrollable feeling. Because of this, she had been hiding in her hotel room for an entire day.

At this moment, facing her aunt’s question, she thought of Gu Yu’s face. All the chaotic thoughts suddenly disappeared or faded away in an instant.

Only one prominent thought took up most of her mind.

She hadn’t seen Gu Yu in a day.

That night, Song Xinran had a dream. In the dream, the light was dim. Only a single orange-yellow light from the bedside lamp was on, flickering in the darkness like a small firefly.

Her heart tightened, and a feeling of unease and fear surged up.

Her childhood experience had left her with lingering fears of the dark.

Song Xinran wanted to get up and turn on the overhead light, but she found that she couldn’t move, as if she was being weighed down by a thousand pounds.

She seemed to be lying on the bed, and the bedding beneath her was soft. In her panic, a soft laugh suddenly came from next to her. It was faint, but it sounded nice.

Then, a cool body came on top of her. The person’s body was long and slender, and their skin was smooth.

The two of them were pressed tightly against each other. The touch in a certain area was also soft. Even in the dream, it made Song Xinran’s heart flutter.

“Miss Song, don’t be afraid. I’m here,” the person said in her ear, their breath rising and falling. Song Xinran felt a faint, subtle scent lingering around her nose. It was very familiar. She felt like she had smelled it somewhere before.

“!”

The fingers on the bedsheets were clasped. The light was dim, but Song Xinran knew that she was in a dream. Because her vision was blurry, she couldn’t see the facial features of the person in front of her. There was only a vague silhouette. Like the scent, it also gave her a sense of familiarity.

“Can I kiss you?”

Song Xinran didn’t say anything. To be precise, she couldn’t say anything right now. The sound of her heartbeat was deafening, almost drowning out all other sounds.

So, the person on top of her let out a short laugh and kissed her.

Small, scattered kisses landed on her earlobe first, then between her eyebrows, then on her nose, and finally… the kiss landed on the corner of her lips and pulled away immediately.

The person on top of her seemed to have planned to stop there and wanted to pull away.

The next second, Song Xinran didn’t know where she got the strength from, but she wrapped her arms around the person’s neck and pulled them back down.

Perhaps because she was in a dream, she was a little more unrestrained and said, “It’s not enough. I want to… be closer.”

She heard the person laugh again, a doting laugh. “Okay.”

So the person pulled her up again, and her upper body left the bed. Oh my gosh, where did this person get so much strength?

Song Xinran’s consciousness was muddled. She held onto the person’s neck tightly. She could feel the other person’s breath on the gland on the back of her neck.

Her heart tightened, and she felt a sense of fear.

However, this person, whose face she couldn’t see, didn’t mark her. Instead, they gently, gently kissed her gland, as if treating a treasure, or as if a feather had landed.

When she woke up, Song Xinran opened her still dazed eyes. Unlike in the dream, the lights in the room were bright, giving Song Xinran’s flushed face nowhere to hide.

The scene from the dream kept replaying in her mind, and her gland felt hot.

It was as if her heat cycle was going to come early.

“Miss Song?” Under the shade of the tree, Gu Yu noticed that Song Xinran seemed to be in a daze and called out to her.

Song Xinran’s consciousness had not fully pulled away from the memory. When she saw Gu Yu’s face, she subconsciously said something.

“Again.”

“Hmm? What again?”

When she saw the confusion in Gu Yu’s eyes, she realized what she had just said. Her face immediately turned red, all the way down to her neck.

But she still pretended to be calm, lifted her chin, and said with a face as flushed as a peach blossom, “Nothing.”

In Gu Yu’s mind, 087 watched this scene in surprise. The light blue data unconsciously began to expand, surrounding the original protagonist, Song Xinran. It floated up and down. Long, thin lines of code wrapped around Song Xinran, making the scene look surprisingly dreamy.

Unfortunately, only Gu Yu could see this. She looked at the floating light blue data and asked 087 in her mind, [What are you doing?]

087 replied, [I think the protagonist is a little different from what’s written in the book. I need to check.]

087 was serious, and its scanning movements were earnest and solemn.

The vast database told it that the original protagonist should have hated the alpha gender so much that she would stay eight hundred meters away from them. She would never have taken the initiative to talk to an alpha, nor would her face turn red when looking at one.

Hmm, the protagonist is too different from the description in the original book. A bug, it must be a bug. A bug has appeared in this world.
