The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 40

This sentence on the phone hit Lu Feng’s face like a slap, as if it had peeled off his shiny coat and revealed the tattered insides.

Because he was so angry, the voice even faintly passed through the receiver and spread into the air.

The assistant next to him hunched his shoulders, completely afraid to speak, wishing he could disappear completely.

Finally, Lu Feng couldn’t take it anymore and started to fight back. “Enough. How dare you say that about me! If you weren’t so useless, would I have had to do something like that? You should thank me. If it weren’t for me, you would still be a nameless and insignificant manager!”

After saying that, he slammed the phone down.

The atmosphere was deathly silent. In this corner where only the two of them were, the air seemed to have solidified, making it hard to breathe.

The assistant’s voice trembled slightly. “Brother Lu, when should we go out…”

There were still a few scenes left to film.

Before he could finish, a slap silenced him.

The assistant’s face was turned to the side, and his skin was visibly red. Alphas, due to their gender advantage, were generally stronger than people of the other two genders.

As an alpha, Lu Feng didn’t hold back. He looked at the stunned assistant, his eyes dark.

“Shut up. Are you standing there to watch me be a joke?”

Night. Mixed with the faint light from the bedside lamp, Gu Yu looked at the friends list on her phone.

The three big characters “Song Xinran” were the only ones on the list, simple yet eye-catching.

To her surprise, Miss Song had not deleted her.

Gu Yu’s eyelashes lowered slightly. After almost a month, she clicked on the chat page again. The few greasy messages that the original owner had sent before she transmigrated were still there, having received no reply.

There was only an empty system notification: I have accepted your friend request. We can chat now~

[Host, I’ve detected that your emotions are heavy at this moment. Is there anything I can help you with?] A blue ball of data formed in Gu Yu’s mind, and 087’s voice suddenly came from within.

Caring for the mental health of every host was a program written into 087’s core.

Gu Yu was speechless. For a moment, she didn’t know if 087’s return was a good thing or a bad thing. She wasn’t used to exposing her emotions to others.

She replied in her mind, [087, you are not allowed to pry into my thoughts.]

087: […Okay, host.]

Gu Yu looked at the messages the original owner had sent on her phone. After a moment of hesitation, she said, [087, can you help me delete these messages?]

087’s voice was calm. [Sorry, host. 087 doesn’t have the authority to control electronic devices.]

After saying that, it went silent.

Gu Yu didn’t mind. She held her phone and looked at the messages. A rare hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

When she first transmigrated, the original owner didn’t have much money. Almost all of her savings were used to buy Miss Song’s contact information.

After transmigrating, she was busy paying off her debts and didn’t think about getting a new SIM card. First, there were too many things to do, and second, she thought that since she was going to pay off her debts, she wouldn’t have any more connections with the people the original owner had been involved with.

Who knew that after joining the crew, she would find out that the world was really this small. She had met two of the people the original owner had been involved with.

It looks like I really need to get a new SIM card and create a new account, Gu Yu sighed in her heart.

She leaned back against the headboard. The orange-yellow, warm light enveloped one side of her face, adding a touch of humanity to her usually cold, frost-like features. The tear mole at the corner of her eye was particularly prominent.

Remembering the pair of bright eyes Miss Song had when she tactfully asked to add her earlier that morning, Gu Yu was in a trance.

Miss Song actually didn’t know that the two of them were already friends. It was just that it had a not-so-good beginning.

She held her phone in her leaning position, looking at the chat page with the note “Song Xinran.”

Song Xinran’s profile picture had been changed to a simple line drawing of a cat. It had no color, just simple black lines.

But it was very cute.

Gu Yu thought this and couldn’t help but tap the profile picture with her finger. The next second, a new message appeared in the chat bar.

[You poked Song Xinran, but she brushed you away.]

“Huh?” Gu Yu’s finger suddenly froze, completely caught off guard.

On the other side, Song Xinran was wearing pajamas and leaning against the headboard. The gland on the back of her neck was faintly hot. Since that dream last night, she had this feeling.

She touched that spot, and she could clearly feel the skin’s temperature rise and soften, as if she could feel the pheromones surging beneath her skin, clamoring for an alpha’s mark.

She frowned and pulled out an inhibitor from the drawer next to her. The needle glinted under the cold, white light. Without hesitation, she plunged it into her flesh. The light blue liquid was pushed in, followed by a gradual calming of her body.

Because her estrus period were irregular, she always carried inhibitors with her.

But…

This estrus period seemed to have come much earlier than the last one.

Was it because her body’s drug resistance had increased again, or was it because of…

That dream?

Recalling the feel of their skin touching in the dream, Song Xinran’s earlobes were once again tinged with a rosy color. Paired with her snow-white skin, she looked like a blossoming peach flower.

After injecting the inhibitor, she picked up her phone and continued to scroll through the comments online. As for the string of unread messages from Xu Ru, she temporarily put them aside.

Since the afternoon, Xu Ru had sent her many messages. It was only then that Song Xinran found out about the live stream.

Out of a sense of inexplicable guilt, she didn’t click on Xu Ru’s messages to see what she had sent. Instead, she unskillfully opened Weibo.

Apparently, with the previous popularity, the topic of Path of Immortals had already topped the trending searches.

Among them, #Gu Yu’s divine beauty# was even marked with red, indicating that it had gone viral.

Many people had posted their recordings and screenshots. The scene of Gu Yu appearing on the live stream was replayed countless times.

Looking at the “So beautiful” and “I want to marry her” comments in the comment section, Song Xinran’s brows furrowed slightly. After a long while, she let out a soft “hmph.”

These people were so shallow, falling for someone just because of their looks.

She thought this to herself and looked at the pictures posted by the netizens, one after another.

She had been looking at these comments from the afternoon until the evening. When she finally reached the bottom, she was about to leave, but then she saw a comment that said:

“What gives Gu Yu the right to take this role? Her acting is probably terrible. You guys like a vase like her? I’m disgusted.”

Song Xinran’s expression didn’t change. She skillfully long-pressed the comment and reported it in one go.

After she finished all of this, she switched back to her messages.

The section for Xu Ru showed a red number in the twenties. Xu Ru was a talker. She had been sending messages since the afternoon. Other than some voice messages, they all revolved around a few main points.

“I saw you in the live stream.”

“The recording of you on camera was probably deleted and had its traffic restricted by the people from Xingchen Entertainment. Don’t worry. I know your personality, so it didn’t cause a big stir.”

“What’s wrong with you? In my lifetime, I actually saw you willingly approach an alpha.”

“But honestly, that alpha is pretty good-looking.”

“Netizens are so funny. They actually think you and that alpha have chemistry.”

“Others don’t know, but don’t I know you? Thankfully, I fought against all of them and rebutted them for you. Otherwise, you would have been so angry if you saw the comments.”

Song Xinran looked at these messages. She had been hesitating whether or not to confide in Xu Ru about her feelings for Gu Yu, but this completely extinguished that thought.

She didn’t like to slap herself in the face.

Recalling her conversation with Gu Yu from the daytime, she was uncharacteristically uncertain. What exactly does Gu Yu think of me?

Perhaps it was because the night was too quiet, or because she had just injected the inhibitor and the impulse from her estrus period hadn’t completely faded.

She uncharacteristically wanted to find someone to talk to.

Song Xinran leaned back on her pillow, her wavy hair draped over her shoulder. She held her phone and scrolled absentmindedly.

Her chat list was full of people she knew. She was in many circles, but she only added the same people over and over again, and they all knew her personality.

For a moment, she couldn’t find anyone to confide in.

Song Xinran felt a little lonely.

She was about to consider posting anonymously when a new message suddenly appeared at the top of her list.

[You were poked by “Yu”, and you brushed her away.]

“What is this?”

Seeing the nickname “Yu,” Song Xinran’s heart couldn’t help but jump. It was a homophone, so she subconsciously thought of Gu Yu.

Before her brain could react, her hand had already clicked on it.

When she saw the chat box, a hint of disappointment washed over her.

It wasn’t Gu Yu.

A memory she had placed in a forgotten corner of her mind finally surfaced. She remembered that she didn’t know this person. This person added her during her last estrus period and said some things that were offensive and disgusting.

She had actually forgotten to delete it.

Although this person’s nickname was a homophone of a character in Gu Yu’s name, Gu Yu would never speak in such a disgusting and greasy tone.

Song Xinran felt disgusted and was about to delete this inexplicable person for good. The next second, she saw that the poke message was quickly recalled.

Song Xinran felt annoyed and couldn’t help but send a message: What do you mean?

The other side showed “Typing…”. After about half a minute, Song Xinran’s patience was about to run out, and the other side replied with two words.

Sorry.

These two familiar words made Song Xinran feel a little dazed. “Sorry” was also what Gu Yu said most often.

By some strange coincidence, she typed and asked: Looking at you, you’ve probably flirted with a lot of people, right?

••••

On the fifth floor of the hotel, in another room, Gu Yu looked at the message on her phone and didn’t understand why Miss Song would suddenly ask a question like this. But she thought about it seriously. The original owner had indeed flirted with many people online.

Before she could think of how to reply, another message came from the other side.

Her phone vibrated, and she saw: Then do you know what love is?

Or, how do you know if you like an alpha?

Silence…

087, which hadn’t made a sound, saw its host staring at the phone screen and not moving for a few seconds, so it spread its consciousness and looked at the phone screen.

Its mechanical voice couldn’t hide its surprise. [Why is the protagonist asking this question? Could it be that the protagonist has an alpha she likes?]

According to 087’s data resources, there’s a 90% chance that people who ask similar questions are in love but don’t know it yet.

[But how is that possible? You know, in the original plot, the protagonist was never interested in love, and no alpha ever won her heart.]

Gu Yu tilted her head. Although there was no specific point, 087 somehow felt that its host was looking at itself.

The blue light on its body flickered for a moment, and it continued, [Could it be that the plot has changed so much that the plotline and settings have also changed?]

Gu Yu murmured, “Changed?”

[Yes, changed. Host, the uncertain factors caused by the plot changes are too many.]

[But the one thing that is certain is that the destined couples in the world have very deep bonds and are hard to separate. They need external interference, which is why we came to this world.]

[Because the bond is too deep, if the protagonist really fell in love with an alpha, there’s a high chance it’s that scumbag alpha from the original book.]

087’s voice was filled with worry. [This will make our mission much more difficult.]

After all, in the original book, Song Xinran’s tragic end was largely due to that scumbag alpha.

Gu Yu didn’t say anything, her expression complex.

Did Miss Song really fall in love with that scumbag alpha from the original book? But that person can’t bring Miss Song happiness.

On the other side, Song Xinran regretted sending those two messages as soon as she sent them. She felt possessed tonight. She was too impulsive. She was about to recall the messages and delete this person for good.

The other side replied with a message, which made her stop her actions.

Yu: I know.

Gu Yu sent these two words, secretly vowing in her heart that if Miss Song really did fall in love with that scumbag alpha, she had to stop it.

The next day, at the foot of the mountain where the crew was filming, a long car was parked. Xie Yuanjing stood next to the car, looking at the mountain in front of him, and said resentfully, “Don’t tell me we have to transfer cars again?”

The leader next to him was slightly hunched over, with a fawning smile on his face. “Yes, Young Master Xie. The Path of Immortals crew is filming on this mountain.”

Xie Yuanjing said, “Why did they choose to film here? It’s the middle of summer with so many mosquitoes.”

He couldn’t understand why Song Xinran, who could be in the capital, would choose to come here and suffer. He was already tired from the journey, and now he had to transfer cars again. The resentment in his heart grew.

Once he had Song Xinran hooked, he would make her stay at home obediently. It was not proper for an omega to be out and about all the time. They should be at home managing the household and raising the next generation.

After making up his mind, Xie Yuanjing took a step toward the mountain.

The road up the mountain was not easy. It was bumpy, and he had to walk for a while. It was an hour later when Xie Yuanjing finally arrived.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Gu Yu’s mind. This notification only appeared when a main plot character appeared for the first time.

[Ding—A key character has been detected nearby: Xie Yuanjing.]
