The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 52

When she returned to the room with the medicine, the bruising on Miss Song’s ankle had already subsided a lot and had turned a bit purple. Although the injury wasn’t serious, it still looked a little shocking against her fair skin.

Gu Yu took a closer look, and when she saw there was no major problem, her heart eased slightly. She then opened the spray she had gotten from Zuo Jia.

The pungent smell of the medicine spread through the air. The alpha’s eyes were focused as she applied the medicine.

But as Song Xinran watched, she extended her fingertip and gently touched the space between Gu Yu’s eyebrows. She said in a almost certain tone, “Gu Yu, you’re not happy.”

The warmth between her eyebrows made Gu Yu instinctively look up. Only then did she realize that her eyebrows had been subtly furrowed the whole time.

“Mmm…”

She admitted that she was a little unhappy now. Affected by Zuo Jia’s words, she felt a hint of sympathy.

Perhaps it was because her situation was a bit like Zuo Jia’s. She didn’t have many friends. The entertainment industry was a big dye vat, with too many intricate human relationships. You always had to be on guard when interacting with people. She wasn’t a talkative person, so of course, she wouldn’t have any close friends.

When all was said and done, she was almost always alone.

Song Xinran used her hands to push herself off the edge of the bed, leaning her upper body closer to Gu Yu. The hem of her dress rustled on the sheets with her movement. Her bright eyes were sparkling, but her gaze was serious: “Why are you unhappy? Can you tell me?”

She would try her best to make Gu Yu happy.

Gu Yu was silent for a moment. Facing Miss Song’s concerned gaze, she felt a rare desire to confide, saying, “I just feel that sometimes the hardships a person has to endure in this world are a little too much.”

“Miss Song, if a person isn’t happy after they’re born, should they have not existed in the first place?”

“Perhaps, not existing in the first place would have been the best outcome.”

She was not talking about Zuo Jia, but about herself. It was just that Zuo Jia’s experience reminded her of her own past.

Song Xinran was stunned. Although she didn’t understand why Gu Yu would suddenly ask such a random question, after thinking for a moment, she still answered seriously: “I don’t know, but I think that since that person has already come into this world, the assumption itself is no longer valid.”

“Then try to make yourself happy. After all, sometimes emotions are something people give themselves.”

“Since you’re here for a journey in this world, don’t leave any regrets.”

Don’t always think back on things that have already happened, or you’ll easily fall into a vortex of memories and miss the beautiful things in the present. No matter what happened in the past, or what the original intention of coming to this world was, Song Xinran always felt that being happy was the most important thing.

If you’re not happy, work hard to make yourself happy.

Some people or things, scenes or objects, will always make you feel a moment of attachment to the world, even if it’s just a fleeting moment, it’s a symbol of happiness.

As Song Xinran thought about this, her heart moved. She also felt a little inspired. Should I also be a little braver?

Gu Yu was thinking about Song Xinran’s words. She relaxed her expression and said, “I understand. Thank you, Miss Song.”

Maybe it was just the illusion that the atmosphere was so good, but Song Xinran felt that Gu Yu’s voice had a touch of softness.

“You’re welcome. If you’re in a bad mood, just go travel.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but stare at the other person’s stunning features. Song Xinran just felt that this alpha was beautiful everywhere. Her heart was itchy again, as if it had been scraped by a feather.

Gu Yu had finished applying the medicine and stood up to put things away. The atmosphere between them was too good, and Song Xinran felt a little overwhelmed, blurting out, “Gu Yu… can we be friends?”

Gu Yu’s movements paused. After two seconds, she said, “Miss Song, we’re actually already friends.”

She finally chose to come clean. Miss Song was a very good person, and she didn’t want to deceive her. If she was full of lies and deceit, what was the difference between her and a person like the original owner?

However, she hadn’t yet figured out the right words to say.

Song Xinran was surprised: “We’re already friends? When?” The people on her list were almost all people or friends she knew in real life. How could she not remember adding Gu Yu?

Besides, why had she never heard Gu Yu mention this before?

“We added each other a long time ago. Miss Song, I’ll message you with the account tonight.” Half of Gu Yu’s body was backlit, and her expression was vaguely hard to see.

Song Xinran naturally couldn’t see the complexity in Gu Yu’s eyes. She wanted to ask why she had to message her tonight and not now, but when she glanced down and saw that both of Gu Yu’s hands were covered in medicine, she understood the reason. Her fingers shrank uncomfortably, and she said, “Okay… okay.”

Gu Yu was not free now and was probably about to rush back to the set. Gu Yu said she would message her tonight, and she was willing to wait.

Time passed slowly in waiting. Song Xinran had never felt time pass so slowly. She absentmindedly scrolled through her phone, glancing at the time at the top of her phone from time to time, counting down to when night would come.

Before this, she had already scrolled through her friend list from top to bottom, but she still didn’t know which one Gu Yu was. There wasn’t a single person on her friend list who fit the criteria.

Song Xinran’s mind wandered. Did Gu Yu make a mistake? Or was this a subtle rejection? Song Xinran thought. She really hoped it wasn’t the latter.

She tapped her phone on and off, feeling quite absentminded. Muscle memory made her finger subconsciously tap into Weibo. The algorithm accurately pushed topics to her based on her search habits and browsing frequency.

Song Xinran casually glanced at it and easily found a topic about Gu Yu.

A small Weibo blogger posted a message: Our Little fish roe has also become popular during this time. After all, all kinds of negative news have appeared. How can this not be a kind of popularity (dog emoji)? But some of the negative news is quite funny. For example, the one I saw, which said that Little fish roe is definitely a nepotism case, getting extra scenes and trending topics. The person said it so confidently and even listed a bunch of evidence that looked very well-documented. Then, when I looked at the conclusion the person came to, they said that Little fish roe’s nepotism connection is her manager.

In the comments section:

: hahahahahahahaha.

: I’m laughing my head off.

: I also saw that Weibo post and went into that person’s homepage. I saw that their gender was alpha. Okay, the case is solved.

: To the newbies, you’d normally expect the comments section to be full of accusations when you see the words “nepotism,” but why does everyone find it so funny instead?

Someone explained it to her: Because Little fish roe’s manager is very poor. She’s just a bottom-tier manager at Xingchen Entertainment. If this counts as nepotism, then it’s the most pathetic nepotism I’ve ever seen.

: Everyone basically knows that Little fish roe’s manager is her cousin.

: Little fish roe has been with her cousin manager for a few years and hasn’t gotten any good roles.

: Even the nanny car they use on set is rented from the company.

: The blogger who posted the negative news clearly hasn’t looked into Little fish roe. Our Manager Li isn’t that capable (dog emoji).

A passerby sighed: Good heavens, I never thought a person with nepotism could have it this bad.

: I feel bad for Gu Yu for some reason.

The hashtag #GuYu Nepotism even made it onto the Weibo trending topics. People who didn’t know the full story clicked on it with ill intentions and left laughing.

The comments section was so joyful that it even brought a smile to Song Xinran’s eyes.

Time passed silently like this.

Song Xinran was still looking at the funny comments from Gu Yu’s fans, laughing uncontrollably. Suddenly, a chat box popped up at the top of her phone, showing that someone had sent her a message.

The chat was labeled “Fish.” Song Xinran remembered her, but only remembered her. She didn’t have a good impression of this person.

Fish: I’m done with my work. Are you there?

Song Xinran frowned slightly. She didn’t understand why this person would suddenly message her. What did it matter to her if this person was done with her work? It was so random.

She thought this and just swiped her finger, wanting to delete this person from her friend list.

The next second, she saw another message from this person.

“I’m sorry, I think I need to be honest with you about something.”

Song Xinran’s fingertip stopped. Honest about what?

“Miss Song, I’m Gu Yu.”

Bang—

Miss Song, who was leisurely lying on the bed, almost had her phone fall on her face.
