The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 54
The air was exceptionally fresh on the second morning. Gu Yu had already packed her things, and her assistant, Yang Tian, was waiting at the hotel entrance.
Gu Yu had been on the set for some time, but she didn’t have many belongings. She preferred to travel light, and besides some daily clothes and essential cosmetics, there was almost nothing else.
However, Li Ruqin had specifically brought her a lot of things last time. When everything was added up, they still filled two large suitcases.
“Sister Yuyu, Sister Li said she rented a nanny car from the company and is waiting for us at the foot of the mountain. She’s already sent me the license plate number,” Yang Tian’s voice was cheerful. After she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
When she had nothing to do, she liked to go online. The internet speed was very fast, so she had naturally seen the Weibo post about “Little fish roe’s poor manager” and had a good laugh.
Gu Yu listened and hummed in acknowledgment. For convenience, she was wearing a casual tracksuit today with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Only a small wisp of her baby hair had fallen on her forehead. She had a light, elegant makeup that softened the natural coolness of her facial features. The mole under her eye was as eye-catching as ever.
Even up close, it was difficult to see things like pores on Gu Yu’s face. She was the epitome of “skin as smooth as a newborn’s.”
Yang Tian’s heart felt a little sore and a little envious. In all these days of filming, Sister Yuyu really hadn’t gotten tanned at all.
Gu Yu looked at her and said, “When we get back, I’ll give you five days off. You should rest well.”
In an instant, the slight soreness in Yang Tian’s heart vanished completely, replaced by deep excitement: “Sister Yuyu, you’re the best!”
“By the way, Sister Yuyu, I heard that Miss Song is also leaving the mountain today. Are we going with Miss Song?” Yang Tian asked casually.
Gu Yu didn’t deny it. She stood at the hotel’s main entrance, as if waiting for someone.
Song Xinran’s figure soon appeared in their line of sight.
Gu Yu quietly watched Miss Song walk toward them. She deliberately lowered her eyes to look at the other party’s ankle and only felt relieved when she saw that it had fully recovered.
Song Xinran was wearing a pair of oversized black sunglasses. A white pearl blouse and black slim-fit flare pants made her look bright and charming. Her right hand was dragging a small pink suitcase. Her steps paused imperceptibly when she saw Gu Yu, then returned to normal.
“Go-good morning,” the tips of her fingers holding the luggage handle tightened slightly.
“Good morning,” Gu Yu replied.
After that, there were no more words. An indescribable, awkward atmosphere permeated between the two of them. In short, it was very uncomfortable. Song Xinran secretly celebrated that she was wearing sunglasses.
Since their conversation at the door the other day, this was their first time seeing each other in days.
At the time, she was carried away by her emotions and could say anything. Now, she was belatedly feeling a little embarrassed.
Using her sunglasses for cover, she secretly looked at Gu Yu. The alpha’s expression was as usual, but her gaze was a little evasive and not as calm as she appeared.
Yang Tian was thick-skinned and didn’t notice the strange atmosphere. She just looked at Song Xinran’s suitcase in surprise and sighed: “Miss Song, you have so little luggage.”
Song Xinran: “I only brought what was necessary. Someone else will help me with the rest.”
The little person in Yang Tian’s heart bit on a handkerchief with tears in its eyes. Sure enough, rich people are different!
With this start, the conversation became easier. Song Xinran said, “I’ve arranged for a car to wait for us outside the set. Do you want to go down the mountain with me?”
There was a considerable distance from here to the foot of the mountain. The first part of the journey required walking. After walking for a while, there was a bus that went to the foot of the mountain. The crew usually used this kind of bus to transport supplies and materials. The advantage was that it had a lot of space. The disadvantage was that it was not comfortable to sit in.
Unless it was a special circumstance, no one would choose to take the bus.
Yang Tian’s eyes were full of anticipation. When she saw that Gu Yu didn’t refuse, she also said happily, “Yay, it’s so nice to be with Miss Song!”
The sunglasses were large, so it was impossible to see the emotions in Song Xinran’s eyes, but her chin was slightly raised, revealing a sense of arrogance, like a proud and elegant white peacock.
The car Song Xinran had called was a SUV. The space inside was quite large, and compared to the bus, the seats were more than a little bit more comfortable.
Yang Tian very consciously ran to the passenger seat.
The road down the mountain was winding and some parts were uneven. The car swayed back and forth. With a sudden brake, Song Xinran was caught off guard and lunged forward.
Gu Yu reacted quickly and immediately used the back of her hand to cushion Song Xinran’s forehead.
With a soft thud, Song Xinran’s forehead hit a warm palm. There was no other sensation besides softness.
The driver quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, Miss. There’s a big pothole ahead.”
Song Xinran hurriedly sat up straight. She didn’t dare to look in Gu Yu’s direction, only muttering, “It’s fine. Just watch out.”
The car started again. This time, it drove much more smoothly. Amidst the constantly-retreating scenery, Song Xinran secretly looked at the back of Gu Yu’s hand. As expected, it was a little red.
Gu Yu’s skin was fair, and this little mark was very noticeable.
Song Xinran felt a little bad. Seeing that the people in the front seats hadn’t noticed them, she mustered up her courage and took Gu Yu’s hand.
The alpha’s palm was a little bigger than hers. Her fingertips were soft, her knuckles were distinct, and when she bent her fingers slightly, you could see the faint bones and light blue veins. Her fingers were exceptionally long and slender, and yet very clean.
It was a type of hand that Song Xinran really liked.
She awkwardly held Gu Yu’s hand, one hand under Gu Yu’s palm, and the other gently rubbing the slightly reddish area.
Seeing Gu Yu’s questioning gaze, she said in a small voice, her earlobes turning red, “If you rub it, it won’t hurt as much.”
Gu Yu didn’t know what she was thinking. She had always disliked being close to others, but this time she was like a stunned log, letting Miss Song hold her hand.
Speaking of which, their current way of getting along was a little strange. It was like they were flirting, but neither of them said anything.
But Song Xinran couldn’t help but indulge in it and felt smug for getting closer to the alpha.
However, she was still confused. She didn’t know if this was her own emotion or the influence of pheromones.
After all, her heat period this month hadn’t come yet, and the end of the month was just around the corner…
The SUV stopped not far from the main road. Layers of leaves and a small bend kept the people on the main road from seeing the car’s existence.
The car window was open, and the passing wind blew the loose strands of hair around Song Xinran’s ears.
She pushed them back. Her lowered eyelashes covered the shyness in her eyes as she said, “There are fans waiting outside. You should get out first. I’ll stay here for a while.”
Gu Yu acknowledged her. She didn’t ask why Song Xinran knew that fans were coming to the wrap-up party. She just paused before getting out of the car and said, “Goodbye, Miss Song.”
“Goodbye,” Song Xinran replied softly.
Goodbye, goodbye. She looked forward to her next meeting with Gu Yu.
The next time they meet should be at her birthday party.
On the main road, the sun wasn’t out yet, so the temperature wasn’t high. This area was a scenic spot that hadn’t been fully developed yet. There weren’t many cars or pedestrians nearby, but now, from a distance, you could see a large group of people gathered here, a dense mass of black.
Logically speaking, Gu Yu didn’t have any representative works yet, and she hadn’t appeared in the public eye many times. She shouldn’t have many die-hard fans. At most, they were just fans who were infatuated with her looks and joined the fan group to join in on the fun and conveniently admire her face.
But it was a good thing that there was a wealthy big fan in the fan group who paid for all the travel expenses. Now, even the casual fans who had only joined the fan group to watch the fun were tempted and came to experience free in-person fangirling.
As soon as Gu Yu’s figure appeared, the group of people waiting erupted.
“Look! Isn’t that Little fish roe?!”
“Yes, yes! Ahhhhhh, Little fish roe! I saw the real Little fish roe!”
“Our Little fish roe is so successful.”
“Sister, you’re so cool! Sister, look at me.”
“She’s really as beautiful as she is in the live stream, wuwuwuwu.”
There were many more fans who came than expected. A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yu’s eyes.
But based on her experience from her past life, she immediately entered the right state.
A few steps away, Li Ruqin also hurried over. She was also following Weibo and knew that the fans would come to the wrap-up party, so she had prepared a lot of small gifts and bottled water.
When the group of people saw this, they got excited again.
The suitcases had already been moved into the nanny car by the driver. Gu Yu handed out the small gifts one by one under the fans’ eager gazes.
The fans took them, screaming wildly in their hearts.
After she finished handing them out, Gu Yu looked at the fan who seemed to be in charge. Her eyes were serious as she asked, “When did you all arrive?”
The group admin, who had just been hit by a close-up beauty attack, took a moment to catch her breath before replying: “Most people arrived last night.”
Gu Yu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when she heard this. There was visible concern in her eyes: “Do you have a place to stay?”
They probably arrived last night, and time was short. She was worried that the fans wouldn’t be able to find a place to stay.
The group admin could naturally tell what Gu Yu was thinking. Her heart warmed first, then she said, “Xiao Gu, you don’t have to worry about us. We booked a hotel that’s only a half-hour drive from here.”
Someone else chimed in: “Yeah, yeah. There’s a rich big fan in the group who’s super nice and just reimbursed all the expenses.”
“Reimbursed?”
“Yeah.” A cute-looking little omega took out her phone, swiped her finger, and found a certain spot, then turned her phone to show Gu Yu.
“This is the rich big fan.”
The rich big fan had spent so much money. Little fish roe should know about the rich big fan’s existence.
Gu Yu looked at the screen. The rich big fan the fan was talking about still had the default system avatar. She had set a nickname, but it was just a simple letter: S.
Just looking at the nickname, she seemed like a very aloof person.
The little omega who handed her the phone said, “But the boss usually doesn’t talk in the group. She must be a very busy person in real life.”
And so, Gu Yu silently remembered this fan named “S.”
The whole process took about an hour. When she got into the nanny car, Yang Tian let out a sigh of relief: “The Little Fishies are so enthusiastic.”
Li Ruqin handed them a bottle of water and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
The most popular artist she had worked with was a little model named Meng Tian, who was still an unknown. How could she have so many fans who would come all the way to visit her on set?
“You must all be tired from the trip. You should rest for a bit. I heard the road down the mountain is steep and the bus seats are hard. It must have been rough,” Li Ruqin said. “If I wasn’t afraid of scratching the company’s nanny car, I would have gone up to pick you all up.”
Gu Yu took a sip of water and didn’t say anything. Yang Tian, on the other hand, chuckled happily: “Actually, it wasn’t that tiring. We went down the mountain in Miss Song’s car. The seats were so comfortable.”
“Miss Song?” Li Ruqin’s hand trembled. “Which Miss Song?”
It can’t be the Miss Song I’m thinking of, can it?
“The Miss Song from Starry Entertainment, the CEO’s younger sister.”
“…” It really is the Miss Song she was thinking of.
Suppressing her shock, Li Ruqin’s face didn’t change, but in reality, she had already quietly taken out her phone and messaged Gu Yu.
: Are you very close with Miss Song? How did you end up getting a ride in Miss Song’s car?
As someone from Starry Entertainment, even if she was a small-time manager, she knew a little bit of the inside story. According to reliable sources, Song Xinran really disliked alphas. Her willingness to ride in the same car as an alpha completely broke her understanding.
She was worried that Gu Yu didn’t know Song Xinran’s personality and would offend her without even knowing it. As both a manager and a relative, she didn’t want to see something like that happen.
Gu Yu: We just happened to be going the same way. We just went down the mountain together.
When Li Ruqin received the message, she had a “that’s what I thought” feeling and put her heart back in her chest. I knew it. It was just a coincidence that they were going the same way. Although it was a little strange that Miss Song would take a ride with Gu Yu, people sometimes liked to help others.
She had no idea that her cousin’s daughter had not at all answered her previous question.
Within two days, the payment from the crew was deposited into her card. Gu Yu didn’t hesitate and immediately paid back the rest of the money the original owner had scammed.
Ming Xin was the first to receive it. She sent an emoji of a bird tilting its head and winking, which was cute and a little playful.
: Gu Yu, you’re pretty efficient. Now that this show is done, what are your next plans?
Gu Yu replied: Currently, I’m scheduled to be on the “On the Country Road” variety show team.
Ming Xin had also clearly heard of this variety show: Oh, that one. You’re going to be a guest star. The next episode is being filmed in a few days.
: Yes.
This conversation came to an end.
The “Jia” out of the three, Zuo Jia, still hadn’t replied. The chat window was very quiet.
However, Guan Lincen messaged her not long after: You transferred the rest of the money so quickly? Is Little fish roe going to completely cut ties with her sister? Sister will be sad.
Gu Yu’s expression remained unchanged. This Manager Guan usually looked dignified and steady, with a strong female aura, but online, she was completely different.
Gu Yu didn’t reply to her message. Not long after, Guan Lincen didn’t say anything else and accepted the money.
Finally, with the accounts all settled, Gu Yu let out a sigh of relief. She felt like she had accomplished a major task.
[Host…] 087 weakly called out in her mind.
Gu Yu’s eyebrows were still relaxed. Hearing the voice in her head, she leaned back against the chair, her body relaxed, and said: [087, you finally showed up.]
087 had been in a state of confusion during this time, watching helplessly as the development between its host and the original protagonist went in a direction that eight horses couldn’t pull back.
Aren’t the protagonist and the official partner inseparable and impossible to separate? Didn’t they say that the protagonist’s love line was fated? Otherwise, why would the system bring the host here to change fate?
But why is the protagonist of this world not playing by the rules? It seems like she’s interested in my host!
Gu Yu didn’t know how chaotic 087’s thoughts were right now, and they were also lagging due to the data loading too quickly.
She was now focused on one thing, and it was the reason she had been waiting for 087 to appear.
[087, I have a favor to ask of you.]
087 subconsciously said: [What is it?]
[Miss Song’s birthday is coming up. I want to give Miss Song a protective talisman, the kind that can actually ward off bad luck. Do you have a way to do that?]
087: […]
