The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 47

Meeting Zuo Jia and her brother during a break from filming was actually an accident.

At first, she didn’t even know that one of the people talking was Zuo Jia.

The surroundings were noisy. Since they were changing to a large scene, the props team was moving equipment and debugging data. It would probably take a while, so Gu Yu simply took the script for her next scene and hid under a tree in a corner.

The clothes on her body were too stuffy, and the wind blowing over was hot. Yang Tian  had gone to get her some ice water.

 

It was also at this time that she heard voices from behind the tree.

The scenery in the area was good, and the branches of the trees were large. This place was far from the crowd. Gu Yu was leaning there, and the people on the other side didn’t notice her at first.

“You’re too arrogant now. Why didn’t you answer my phone call last time? You really think you’re so great just because you’ve become a little famous from writing some lousy books, huh?”

 

The person’s tone was arrogant and made people feel uncomfortable.

 

Even Gu Yu, an outsider, couldn’t help but frown, let alone the person involved in the conversation.

 

But… catching a key phrase, a thoughtful expression crossed Gu Yu’s eyes.

 

Writing books?

 

She couldn’t help but think of someone.

 

When another familiar, timid voice rang out, Gu Yu felt a sense of “I knew it” in her heart.

 

It was Zuo Jia.

 

Zuo Jia didn’t know that Gu Yu was nearby. At the moment, all her attention was on her brother, Zuo Jian, opposite her.

 

Facing his questioning, Zuo Jia’s voice was a little shaky, like a rabbit trembling in a corner. “I didn’t…”

 

“Didn’t? Heh, then why didn’t you answer my phone? And you didn’t reply to my messages? I’m your brother! You had to make me, your brother, personally come to this godforsaken place.”

 

“…”

 

“Are you mute now? Forget it, I don’t want to waste any more words with you. I’m out of money. Transfer some money to me.”

 

Zuo Jia’s face was pale. Her long bangs and thick glasses made her look even more inconspicuous. She shook her head and pursed her lips. “I really don’t have any money…”

 

“No money? Who are you fooling? Path of Immortals bought your copyright. How can you not have money?” Zuo Jian was almost laughing from anger.

 

Zuo Jia didn’t say anything, just kept shaking her head.

 

Suddenly, Zuo Jian remembered something. His eyes narrowed, and he said, “Wait, you didn’t transfer all the money to that online dating partner of yours, did you?”

 

As soon as these words fell, Zuo Jia hadn’t reacted yet, but Gu Yu’s heart, which was leaning against the tree, suddenly skipped a beat. Her plan to find a way to leave was temporarily put aside.

 

She admitted that she was a little overcautious. When she heard the words “online dating partner,” her first reaction was the people the original host had been flirting with online.

 

She had already met two of them. Could it really be that coincidental?

 

As soon as this thought fell, she heard the person over there say, “That so-called ‘Innocent Little Fish’ is a liar. I’m your brother. What’s the deal with you always transferring money to an outsider?”

 

Innocent Little Fish…

 

That was the nickname the original host used when she was flirting with people. Gu Yu had changed it later.

 

“…” Gu Yu tilted her head up and closed her eyes, not knowing how to describe her feelings at the moment.

 

…It turns out there really are so many coincidences in the world. After Ming Xin and that manager Guan, this was the third time she had met one of the original host’s flirting partners in real life.

 

I wonder which one of them is Screenwriter Zuo in the original host’s chat list.

 

The voice from over there continued.

 

“Don’t tell me you don’t have money. I came all this way. You have to give me some money. The way I am now is all your fault. Have you forgotten? Zuo Jia, have you forgotten what happened in the past?”

 

Under the scorching sun, the heat in the air made people feel irritable, but Zuo Jia felt like her heart was soaked in a cold pool.

 

“Don’t say it…” She mumbled, knowing what the person in front of her was about to say and trying to stop him.

 

“I haven’t forgotten. Please, stop talking,” she begged humbly.

 

But it was useless. The words still came out: “You killed Mom. You’re a jinx. You ruined this family. You made me the way I am now.”

 

“So, you can’t abandon me.”

 

These few words were like a heavy blow.

 

Zuo Jia’s face was deathly pale, like a piece of bland, defeated paper. Those words tore open her heart, making her feel incredible pain.

 

Zuo Jian didn’t intend to let her go. He approached her step by step. His face, which could barely be called decent, now looked hideous. “Zuo Jia, give me the money! You have to give me money today!”

 

Zuo Jia was trembling, unable to control herself from backing away. The set was only a few dozen meters behind her, but she didn’t dare to call for help.

 

The ground here was uneven, and sometimes the roots of trees were exposed. Zuo Jia backed away step by step. In a daze, her heel just happened to trip on a tree root. Her body instantly lost its balance and fell backward.

 

“!” Under her thick glasses, Zuo Jia’s eyes widened in terror. The scene in her vision turned upside down. The sunlight was too glaring, forcing her to close her eyes.

 

She was already bracing for the pain, but in the next second, a pair of hands grabbed her.

 

Zuo Jia opened her eyes in a daze. The alpha who came into her view had a clear and cool aura. The sunlight was behind her, making her whole body shine.

 

Gu Yu pulled her up and immediately let go of her hand, asking, “Are you okay?”

 

“I’m fine, thank you,” Zuo Jia said softly.

 

Facing this person who suddenly appeared from behind a tree, Zuo Jian’s face didn’t look good. “Who are you? Are you listening to our conversation?”

 

Gu Yu glanced at him faintly and said, “I was here first.”

 

The implication was that she wasn’t eavesdropping; he was the one who came over.

 

Besides, she had wanted to leave from the beginning, but she just hadn’t found the right time.

 

“You!” Zuo Jian choked. A fire of anger immediately rose in him. He looked at Gu Yu’s outstanding face, and something suddenly came to his mind. “Wait! I know you. You’re that person who’s been a little famous online recently.”

 

The arrogance in Zuo Jian’s heart quietly subsided. He seemed to remember that netizens said this person got into the crew through the back door and that she might have some big shot backing her.

 

Zuo Jian didn’t dare to take the risk, so he could only sullenly mutter, “This is a matter between her and me. You shouldn’t meddle in other people’s business.”

 

Behind her, Zuo Jia also looked worried. She didn’t want Gu Yu to get involved in this kind of trouble. She said in a low voice, “Gu Yu, you should go first.”

 

Because of her previous movement, Zuo Jia’s glasses had already fallen to the ground. It was only then that Gu Yu realized that this screenwriter, who seemed to always have her head bowed, actually had a pair of very beautiful eyes, bright and clear, like a clear lake.

 

But now these eyes were slightly moist with tears, as if they were about to cry weakly in the next second. Yet the owner of the eyes was pretending to be strong, tightly pursing her lips to suppress her vulnerability.

 

[Host, let’s not meddle. I just scanned the data. This beta named Zuo Jia has a small role in the original novel. Although it’s not much, it’s best we don’t interfere.]

 

Seeing that Gu Yu didn’t say anything, 087 could only speak again: [Host, have you forgotten my advice from last time? We shouldn’t interfere with the lives of people other than the protagonist. There are simply too many big uncertainties.]

 

Gu Yu sighed softly: [087, I know. But Zuo Jia is also one of the people the original host deceived. I’m using the original host’s body to complete the mission and resurrect, so I have to try my best to make up for the original host’s mistakes.]

 

[But, Host, you also heard what that person opposite said. This Zuo Jia killed her own mother. How can she be a good person? She’s not worth your help.]

 

[087, you can’t just listen to one side of the story.] Besides, they say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Zuo Jia’s eyes are very clean.

 

087 was left speechless.

 

Gu Yu didn’t say anything more to 087. She bent down, picked up the glasses on the ground, and handed them to Zuo Jia. Her feet didn’t move. She still maintained the posture of standing in front of Zuo Jia. She looked at the person opposite her, and her voice was cold: “Putting aside whether I’m meddling or not, this is a film set. How did you get in?”

 

The Path of Immortals crew had many celebrities, and there was a lot of security around the perimeter of the set to prevent fans or sasaengs from sneaking in. Zuo Jian couldn’t contact Zuo Jia, and it seemed like he didn’t have any connections in the crew. By all accounts, he shouldn’t have been able to get in.

 

As expected, a hint of guilt flashed across Zuo Jian’s face.

 

This expression, of course, didn’t escape Gu Yu’s eyes. She said, “Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter here. If you don’t leave, I’ll have to call someone to ask you to leave, sir.”

 

Zuo Jian looked at the unwavering coldness on Gu Yu’s face and then at the crew members coming and going not far behind her. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to get what he wanted today.

 

So he could only grit his teeth, glare at Zuo Jia fiercely, and leave unwillingly.

 

He had come here relying on Zuo Jia’s gentle and easy-to-manipulate personality. He thought he was guaranteed to get the money today. Who knew that such a meddlesome alpha would appear? He didn’t know anything about Gu Yu’s background and didn’t dare to provoke her.

 

For a moment, other than grinding his teeth in anger, there was nothing else he could do.

 

After the person left, Gu Yu took a small step forward, creating some distance between her and Zuo Jia, and said, “Screenwriter Zuo, he’s gone.”

 

Zuo Jia held her glasses in one hand and nervously kneaded the hem of her clothes with the other. Her eyes were still slightly red. She said, “Thank you, Gu Yu. Thank you so much…”

 

“It’s just a small matter,” Gu Yu said.

 

Zuo Jia shook her head in her heart, silently denying it. This was not a small matter at all. She was truly grateful for Gu Yu’s appearance.

 

But, did Gu Yu hear everything Zuo Jian said from behind the tree?

 

Would Gu Yu be disgusted with her? Would she distance herself from her like everyone else who knew about this?

 

Zuo Jia was panicking. She didn’t want Gu Yu to dislike her. She gathered her courage, looked up, and was about to say something.

 

Before she could speak, a lively voice came from a distance. It was Gu Yu’s assistant, Yang Tian.

 

“Sister Yuyu! I got you the ice water!”

 

Zuo Jia’s shoulders trembled. She hurriedly put on her glasses. Just as Yang Tian was about to walk over, she hastily left a message: “Thank you again. Your assistant seems to be here. I’ll go now. Goodbye… Gu Yu.” She said the last two words especially softly, as if she were embarrassed.

 

After that, she ran off like a panicked rabbit.

 

Yang Tian , on the other hand, looked at Zuo Jia’s departing back, a little confused. “Sister Yuyu, was that Screenwriter Zuo? Is she in a hurry? She left so fast.”

 

Gu Yu took the water and just said, “Maybe.”

 

In the evening, the stuffiness in the air finally faded a lot.

 

A soft knock sounded. The bathroom door was opened, and white steam billowed out from the bathroom.

 

Song Xinran was wrapped in a bathrobe. Her light brown hair was tied up in a towel, revealing her long neck. The gland on the back of her neck was slightly pink and alluring because of the high temperature.

 

Just after she finished blow-drying her hair, her phone on the bedside table rang, indicating that someone had sent her a message.

 

“Big Sis, good evening. A few of us admins discussed today and have a preliminary list of support items and plans for that day. Do you think we need to add anything?”

 

Below was a picture.

 

The person who sent the message was the admin of the Weibo fan group from last night. Because they needed to transfer money, the two of them had simply added each other’s contact information. At this moment, Song Xinran clicked on the picture of the list and took a quick look.

 

She didn’t know much about these things and didn’t know what to add. So, she typed a reply: You guys just decide. If you need money, just tell me.

 

“Okay, Big Sis.”

 

In a certain residential area, the admin put down her phone and sighed, wondering which sugar mommy came to the entertainment industry to chase a star and was so willing to spend money.

 

She had also been a fan of some stars in the entertainment industry and had to say that Yuyu was probably born to be in this circle. She knew that it was very rare for a newcomer to the entertainment industry, with no representative works, to have such a rich supporter.

 

However, when she thought of Gu Yu’s cool and ethereal face, she let out a long sigh.

 

With an alpha that cool, if I had money, I would be happy to spend it too!!!

 

Song Xinran didn’t know about the person’s thoughts. A Weibo application pop-up from the official Path of Immortals crew appeared from the top of her phone, showing that they had released a new update.

 

Song Xinran didn’t hesitate and clicked on it directly.

 

The filming of Path of Immortals was in its later stages and was already starting to prepare for its release. Therefore, Path of Immortals was relatively active on Weibo during this time. This time, they posted a few photos of the actors’ daily lives on the set, which were very down-to-earth.

 

The caption was: Let’s see what they do during their breaks on the set?

 

There were several pictures. To her surprise, Song Xinran saw the group photo from the observation deck last time. But in the picture, everyone’s faces except Gu Yu’s had a cute emoji on them to protect the privacy of the others.

 

Gu Yu’s posture was excellent. She stood in the middle, looking particularly outstanding. Everyone was very close to each other. As Song Xinran looked at the picture, she felt as if she could still recall the temperature they had shared when they were so close to each other that day.

 

She lifted the long hair that was hanging down on her chest. After a moment, she sighed softly.

 

She still hadn’t gotten Gu Yu’s contact information.

 

The courage she had the first time to ask for it was now mostly gone. Song Xinran poked the cute emoji on her face in frustration, not knowing how to find an opportunity.

 

Forget it. Gu Yu still has some time before she finishes filming. We see each other every day, so there’s no need to rush.

 

Although she thought this, it was undeniable that Song Xinran still felt a little frustrated.

 

Speaking of which, her birthday was also coming up soon. Song Xinran had her own selfish desire. She wanted Gu Yu to attend her birthday party.

 

But how should she ask?

 

Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind. She clicked on her friend list and found the account named “Fish.”

 

Their chat was still from not long ago. She had asked: How do you know if you like an alpha?

 

The “Fish” had replied: You know.

 

Song Xinran initially judged that this person was probably a master of romance and should also be good at talking to people.

 

So, Song Xinran sent a message: Are you there?

 

After about three or four minutes, the other person replied: Yes, I was just taking a shower.

 

Song Xinran stared at the last sentence for two seconds. She didn’t know if it was her own stereotype, but she always felt that the last sentence was hinting at something. This made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she didn’t want to talk about it too much, so she went straight to the point.

 

“Didn’t you say you’ve flirted with a lot of people before? Was it true or false?”

 

Ten-odd seconds later, the other person replied: I think so?

 

Song Xinran’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She thought, If it’s true, it’s true. What’s with “I think so?”

 

She didn’t want to waste any more words and directly transferred 20,000 yuan to her, getting straight to the point.

 

“I want an alpha to attend my birthday party. How should I ask?”

 

The text at the top of the chat box changed back and forth from the username to “typing,” but no new messages came.

 

At this moment, Song Xinran was a little patient. She put her phone down on the bed, crossed her arms over her chest, and let her long hair hang down. Her beautiful eyes stared at the chat page, waiting for a reply.

 

In Gu Yu’s room, on the same fifth floor of the hotel.

 

087’s data was flying around, urgent and chaotic.

 

[Host, this is another plot point that is very different from the original novel. The alpha the protagonist wants to invite is probably Xie Yuanjing. What’s going on?! The protagonist’s character is about to collapse into outer space.]

 

[Host, say something! Host!]

 

Gu Yu’s thin lips were slightly pursed. Her curled eyelashes covered the expression in her eyes. The orange-yellow light shone on her, making her look inexplicably a little sad.

 

Perhaps it was because of the mission, but she didn’t want Miss Song to be with that person named Xie Yuanjing. The thought of it made her feel a little stuffy.

 

She wanted Miss Song to be happy. If Miss Song really did fall in love with a certain alpha one day, she hoped she could help her check on him before she returned to her original world.

 

But she didn’t want that alpha to be Xie Yuanjing.

 

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

 

Her phone beeped, and another message came.

 

Gu Yu’s mind returned. She realized that Song Xinran was still waiting for her reply. With her own selfish desire and rare willfulness, Gu Yu pursed her lips and replied.

 

“Sorry, I don’t know.”

 

If Miss Song doesn’t know how to invite an alpha, then she probably won’t ask Xie Yuanjing. Gu Yu thought to herself.

 

The next day, Gu Yu came out of her room and closed the door, about to walk to the elevator. A few rooms away, a door also suddenly made a sound and was opened from the inside.

 

Gu Yu looked up. By a twist of fate, the person who came out of the door was Song Xinran.

 

When Song Xinran saw Gu Yu, a hint of surprise and some other emotion flashed in her eyes, which Gu Yu couldn’t distinguish at the moment.

 

Because of what happened last night, Gu Yu didn’t know what to say to Song Xinran for a while, even though Miss Song seemed to not know that the “Fish” was her.

 

In the silence between them, Gu Yu saw Song Xinran take a deep breath. She looked a little nervous and seemed to want to say something.

 

Gu Yu stood there, waiting quietly.

 

Finally, after a few seconds, she heard Miss Song say, “Gu Yu, my birthday is coming up soon. You should be done with filming by then.”

 

“So… do you have time to come to my birthday party?”

 

Gu Yu was stunned. She vaguely realized something. Looking at the hidden anxiety and anticipation in Miss Song’s eyes, she was perhaps infected by these emotions.

 

She felt her heart start to beat faster.

 

So, the person Miss Song wanted to invite wasn’t Xie Yuanjing. It was her?
