The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 56

At the Song residence, Song Xinran was curled up on the sofa. Her beautiful little face was slightly pale and she looked listless.

 

On the other side of the sofa, her friend Xu Ru looked at her worriedly and asked, “Is your gland starting to feel uncomfortable? Didn’t Dr. Shen come here this afternoon? What did she say?”

 

Song Xinran pursed her lips and didn’t speak, clearly unwilling to answer the question.

 

Xu Ru reached out a finger and poked her shoulder, saying irritably, “Song Xinran! Don’t think you can avoid the question by staying silent.”

 

“Even if you don’t say anything, I can roughly guess what Dr. Shen said. It’s nothing more than that your gland problem is getting more and more serious.”

 

“It’s like this every time your heat period is approaching. What are you going to do later?” Xu Ru worried whenever this happened.

 

Ranran’s gland was different from others. Because of her premature birth, her gland hadn’t fully developed. During her heat period, unlike other omegas, she couldn’t rely solely on suppressants to eliminate the discomfort. Suppressants only provided temporary relief for Ranran, and now, as she got older, the effect of the suppressants was slowly wearing off.

 

The long-term condition of her gland was extremely detrimental to her health.

 

Xu Ru had asked more than once before: “Are you really not going to find an alpha for a temporary mark? No matter how much you hate alphas, your health should still come first.”

 

She still remembered that whenever this topic was brought up, Song Xinran’s expression would turn to disgust, and she would reject the idea without thinking: “I won’t. The pheromones of those alphas make me want to vomit.”

 

Now, Xu Ru certainly didn’t want to force her friend. She warned her: “Just, Ranran, no matter what, don’t impulsively get a gland excision surgery, okay?”

 

Gland-related surgeries weren’t advanced yet and could easily be fatal. Given Song Xinran’s personality, Xu Ru was afraid she would act rashly.

 

However, to help her friend reduce her aversion to alphas sooner, Xu Ru decided to subtly persuade her.

 

She said, “Actually… getting a temporary mark from an alpha isn’t a loss.”

 

“After all, I heard people say that being marked by an alpha… ahem, is quite comfortable.” As Xu Ru spoke, her own face couldn’t help but flush red.

 

She hadn’t been marked either, so she didn’t know what it felt like, but since everyone said so… it must be true.

 

But Xu Ru didn’t know how “comfortable” it was.

 

When Song Xinran heard this, for some unknown reason, her heart also felt a little warm, and even her slightly pale face regained some color.

 

She uncontrollably thought of the dream she had the other night.

 

In the dream, the usually cool-breathed alpha’s eyes were filled with lust, and her breathing was scorching, as if it could melt her.

 

The touch and temperature of the other person’s fingertips, the numerous light kisses falling on her gland, and her name being called out in a slightly husky voice.

 

They were so close, as if they were merging into each other’s bones and blood.

 

Is being marked by an alpha comfortable? Song Xinran thought blankly. In the dream, although she hadn’t experienced the feeling of being marked, just having their bodies tightly pressed together was already very comfortable.

 

The more she thought about it, the faster Song Xinran’s heart pounded. Her gland behind her neck also seemed to sense the restlessness of its owner. Pheromones surged restlessly, but Song Xinran forcibly suppressed them.

 

“Ranran, why is your face a little red?” Xu Ru asked with a hint of surprise.

 

Song Xinran couldn’t help but touch her cheek. Her gaze was a little evasive as she said, “Maybe the air is too stuffy.”

 

“Oh, oh.” Xu Ru didn’t think much of it.

 

“Meow~”

 

While they were chatting, a yellow and white kitten suddenly leaped lightly onto the sofa, then skillfully climbed onto Song Xinran’s lap and settled down there.

 

It licked its fur from time to time, looking very leisurely.

 

Xu Ru’s attention shifted. She sat there staring enviously at the cat on Song Xinran’s lap, muttering, “This little smelly cat. I fed it so many times, but as soon as you come back, it just clings to you and won’t even look at me.”

 

Song Xinran’s lips curved slightly: “Can’t be helped. I’m the one who brought it home, after all.”

 

A smile was in Song Xinran’s eyes. She stroked its head, then picked up the phone that was set aside, took a picture of the cat, and sent it to the person whose note was “Yu.”

 

: Look, Xixi is lying on my lap. It gained weight again.

 

Her tone couldn’t help but carry a hint of intimacy.

 

The status bar at the top quickly displayed “typing…”

 

Not long after, the message popped up in the chat window.

 

: Very cute. It seems to be fatter than before.

 

Song Xinran pursed her lips to suppress the smile that wanted to turn up, and typed: It eats a lot.

 

While waiting for Gu Yu to type, Song Xinran’s fingertip couldn’t help but slide up, looking at their previous chat history.

 

They hadn’t chatted much before, so she reached the beginning in no time.

 

The words were the same, but now, the state of her mind was completely different from before.

 

The words that she used to think were cheesy now became a symbol of Gu Yu’s poor communication skills and her clumsy attempt to get closer to her. Song Xinran found them adorable no matter how she looked at them.

 

The thought of Gu Yu seriously typing these few lines with her cool-looking face made Song Xinran’s heart itch. A smile filled her eyes, and even the discomfort in her gland felt slightly lessened.

 

She was so absorbed in chatting that she didn’t notice Xu Ru’s expression becoming increasingly strange, her gaze filled with scrutiny.

 

She suddenly asked, “Ranran, who are you chatting with?”

 

Song Xinran looked up, meeting Xu Ru’s eyes, which seemed to see through everything at the moment. She felt a strange sense of guilt.

 

Her gaze shifted slightly. She said, “Just… a friend. What’s wrong?”

 

“Friend?” Xu Ru squinted, leaning closer to Song Xinran’s face, and said, “You’re smiling like that when you’re chatting with a friend… um…”

 

Xu Ru tried hard to find a descriptive word, and then a lightbulb went off. She lightly tapped a clenched fist into the palm of her other hand.

 

“Your expression is the same as when Qian Qian is chatting with her partner online!”

 

Liu Qian and her radio host partner were still in the passionate stage of their relationship. Every time the few of them got together to hang out, Liu Qian smiled like this when she messaged her alpha partner.

 

Xu Ru asked hesitantly, “Are you dating?” But it felt impossible. She had known Song Xinran for so many years and had never seen Song Xinran like anyone.

 

Sure enough, Song Xinran pursed her lips and said, “No.”

 

The current relationship between her and Gu Yu was unclear, and she didn’t know how to define it.

 

Meanwhile, Gu Yu had just put down her phone when a current sound from the system came from her mind, but it wasn’t 087.

 

[Beep—The exchanged item, the protective talisman, has been delivered. Please sign for it, Host.]

 

Then, there was a knock on the door.

 

Gu Yu opened the door, but didn’t see anyone.

 

087 couldn’t help but say: [Host, look down.]

 

Gu Yu looked down as instructed. A package was placed quietly at her door, no different from an ordinary delivery.

 

She took the package into the room. After opening it, it was indeed the protective talisman she had exchanged through the system.

 

The talisman was small and exquisite, only the size of Gu Yu’s palm. The center was wrapped in a piece of cloth embroidered with peach blossoms. The talisman itself must have been inside. A few small pendants of unknown material were hanging on the light pink tassel. They sparkled under the light and were quite beautiful.

 

087 said with a hint of pride: [I specifically told the people in the other world that this was a birthday gift you wanted to give to someone. They must have dressed it up nicely.]

 

Gu Yu’s eyes curved slightly. She sincerely thanked it: [Thank you, 087. You’re very thoughtful.]

 

This was the second time it had been praised so seriously by its host. 087’s data was tinted slightly pink, and it stuttered: [Y-you’re welcome.]

 

The Host smiled at me!

 

Night gradually deepened, and everything was silent.

 

Overseas, it was still noon. Song Fuyi, who had been busy all day, rubbed her sore neck. After dealing with official business all day, her eyes were very strained, and her brain was signaling for a break.

 

Song Fuyi didn’t intend to push herself too hard and immediately wanted to take a nap on the small bed in her office.

 

The office door was knocked on at that moment. The highly-paid senior secretary stood respectfully outside the door, holding a blue notepad in one hand, which was used to record pending matters.

 

“President Song.”

 

Song Fuyi said, “Come in.”

 

When the secretary approached, she asked, “Are there any pending matters?”

 

The secretary glanced at her notepad and said, “There are no more matters for noon for now. I just have a few company presidents scheduled to meet in the afternoon to discuss business, but…”

 

“President Song, tomorrow is the young mistress’s birthday.”

 

Song Fuyi was momentarily stunned. She said, “Ranran’s birthday?”

 

She subconsciously looked at the date on her phone: “It really is.”

 

Song Fuyi instinctively wanted to call Song Xinran, but before she could dial, she realized that at this time, it was already late at night in their home country, and Ranran might already be asleep.

 

She couldn’t help but rub her forehead and sighed in her heart. She had been too busy lately, so much so that she had forgotten her daughter’s birthday.

 

To be honest, she felt guilty towards Ranran. When she was pregnant with her second child, she was so busy with work that she was exhausted and gave birth prematurely, which caused Ranran’s health to be consistently poor.

 

She and her partner were both people who weren’t good at interacting with children, and with both of them busy with their respective careers, they didn’t have much time to spend with their child.

 

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since they had celebrated their daughter’s birthday.

 

Song Fuyi felt a little sad thinking about it. She called her partner.

 

However, the secretary answered the phone.

 

“President Song.”

 

Song Fuyi frowned: “Where’s your CEO?”

 

“President Yuan is still in a meeting.”

 

Song Fuyi sighed again, knowing that her partner was also busy with work. She said, “Tell her to call me after the meeting.”

 

“Yes, President Song. I will relay the message to President Yuan.”

 

About an hour later, Song Fuyi’s phone rang with her partner’s number.

 

She answered it but didn’t speak immediately.

 

A questioning female voice came from the other end of the phone: “Wife?”

 

“Mhm.”

 

“What is it? Do you miss me?” The voice on the other end was smiling.

 

“…”

 

Song Fuyi didn’t speak, but her heart uncontrollably tightened. It was impossible not to miss her partner. They were separated by several countries and hadn’t seen each other for nearly three months.

 

But she still remembered the purpose of her call and said, “Did you know… Ranran’s birthday is coming up?”

 

The person on the other end was clearly stunned: “I, I didn’t know.”

 

Song Fuyi closed her eyes. In fact, it had been like this for the past few years. Not only their daughter’s birthday, but sometimes when they were busy, they would even forget their own birthdays. It was only when they received blessings from company employees or other presidents that they suddenly realized their birthday had arrived.

 

But deep down, she still felt guilty.

 

“Tomorrow, let’s call Ranran. Otherwise, she’ll be disappointed.”
