The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 68
Fu Ranqiu was the first to react and immediately praised, “Wow, what an ethereal and beautiful alpha!”
Fu Ranqiu was an extremely charming alpha. Her princess-cut hairstyle, paired with those highly styled phoenix eyes, gave people a sharp sense of aggression at first glance. Due to her limited style and the positioning given by her company, she had always played venomous beauties and villainous female supporting roles in major film and television dramas and had not had her own leading role drama for years.
However, Gu Yu, who had watched a few episodes of the variety show, knew that she was the one with the most ideas among the three regular cast members. She acted as the leader and the intelligence anchor in this variety show, a person with a great sense of responsibility and justice, forming a contrast with her appearance.
Gu Yu greeted the others, and they chatted for a few more sentences.
The RV that had brought Gu Yu had driven away after she got out. Soon, another RV of the same brand and model drove up.
“Hey, another car is coming!”
“I wonder who will be arriving this time. I’m so excited.” Quan Yanfei, who was responsible for livening up the atmosphere, stroked his chin, pretending to think.
Yu Chu rebutted him from the side, “Brother Yanfei, you said almost the same thing when Gu Yu arrived just now. Shouldn’t you change your lines?”
As the designated ‘complainer’ in the variety show, Yu Chu was affectionately called “the audience’s voice” by the variety show fans and often provided a lot of laughs for the show. Obviously, this sentence was also for the program’s effect.
Quan Yanfei cooperated and shrugged, “No choice. The director made it so mysterious and didn’t tell us who the guests for this episode are. I’m also very curious!”
The atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
Fu Ranqiu glanced at them, pretending to be disgusted, and said, “You are so unserious.”
As for Quan Yanfei’s sentence, “I don’t know who the guests are,” they were just words for entertainment. As regular cast members, the three naturally knew which guests would be coming. Saying this was just to create suspense for the audience.
During the casual chat, the black RV had already stopped in front of them, parking steadily by the side.
The car door opened.
The first thing revealed was a pair of long, straight legs. The person getting out of the car was wearing deep black denim shorts and a white T-shirt with a transparent, thin sunscreen jacket over it.
Such a simple and convenient outfit gave people a feeling even more dazzling than the sun.
Song Xinran descended from the car with her waist slightly bent.
The first thing she looked at, her gaze bypassed the three people in front and landed directly on Gu Yu.
Upon seeing Gu Yu, her mood also brightened. Staying with Gu Yu these days seemed to have become a habit. She was a little unaccustomed to the sudden half-hour separation.
The three people present, Fu Ranqiu, had never met Song Xinran. Seeing this unfamiliar and outstanding face, they were stunned at first. After a moment, they immediately reacted.
This was the person from the Song family whom Director Yan Tian had repeatedly warned them not to offend, and also the financier of their program.
She just hadn’t expected that the second young lady of the Song family would be so strikingly beautiful, with a look of unrestrained, bold charm that completely surpassed the celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Suppressing the astonishment in her eyes, Fu Ranqiu smiled and said, “Miss Song, a warm welcome!”
She didn’t know what kind of personality this Miss Song had or why she would participate in their variety show.
Perhaps the thoughts of the rich were different from theirs. In any case, they must not offend her.
The other two also seemed to react, coming over one by one to greet her.
Song Xinran responded to all of them. After greeting all three, she looked at Gu Yu on the side.
To avoid unnecessary discussion, neither of them actively mentioned that they knew each other. Others naturally assumed that Song Xinran and Gu Yu had no previous interaction.
In this situation, both logically and reasonably, Gu Yu should also greet her.
Sensing her gaze, Gu Yu looked over, the coldness on her body silently receding a little.
She politely said, “Miss Song, hello.”
The corner of Song Xinran’s mouth couldn’t help but curve into a subtle, hard-to-catch arc. She tilted her head slightly and said reservedly,
“Hello.”
In addition to Gu Yu and Song Xinran, there were three other guest cast members.
One was Lyu Yin, a music producer who had been unknown in the music scene for many years but recently had a lyrical song that went viral, ranking first in audio usage on various short video platforms.
Lyu Yin was 26, the oldest of all the guests. Perhaps due to her experience, she was also a beta, but unlike the comedic anchor Quan Yanfei, she gave people a sense of calmness.
The remaining two came out of the same car. One was named Le Weier, and the other was named Feng Shuang. One was an omega, and the other was a beta. Both had recently debuted from a girl group. Although they currently had no representative works, they had already become popular by hyping a CP (couple).
Le Weier’s personality seemed more innocent and lively, wearing a white floral dress that fluttered when she walked.
Feng Shuang, who followed behind, was dressed in low-key black, wearing a baseball cap. Her shoulder-length wolf-tail choppy hair was pressed under the cap. With her brim pulled low, she looked a bit cool.
These three arrived one after another. In front of the array of cameras, there was another round of introductions and antics. The atmosphere was light and harmonious.
Quan Yanfei said with an exaggerated tone, “Wow, you have no idea how lucky the guest cast members who came this episode are!”
Le Weier was very supportive and said, “Tell us, tell us?!”
Yu Chu crossed his arms and said, “The investor for this episode is very wealthy. This is the first time I’ve stayed in such a good place after filming so many episodes here. A five-star hotel! And a large suite! But it’s a pity! The production team is too stingy! We can only stay for one night.”
He turned his head and said to the camera, “Director, let’s negotiate. Let us stay a few more nights, okay?”
Fu Ranqiu rolled her eyes at him and said, “Dream on!”
Yu Chu put his hands together in a gesture of pleading, “Sister Ranqiu, I’m trying to gain benefits for our little team. It should be ‘Dream on for us.’”
The others burst into laughter again.
Unlike the regular cast members, the guest cast members, although temporarily unaware of Song Xinran’s specific identity, had been subtly warned that there was someone in this episode they couldn’t afford to offend.
Therefore, on the surface, everyone was laughing and chatting, but in reality, they didn’t dare to casually strike up a conversation with the contemporary guests, afraid of inadvertently offending someone without knowing their nature.
Gu Yu slightly turned her face. Through the two people separating them, she saw Miss Song standing quietly, her lips gently pursed, barely speaking.
She immediately guessed that Miss Song hadn’t learned about these things beforehand and should be unaccustomed to this kind of interactive model.
Taking advantage of the movements of the others, she casually shifted her steps, pretending to be unintentional, and moved closer to Song Xinran.
Using the cover of the crowd, she avoided the areas visible to the camera, and used the tip of her index finger to lightly tap the back of Miss Song’s hand. First, she tapped three times, and then hooked Miss Song’s little finger, shaking it very slightly, silently offering comfort.
—Don’t worry.
Receiving the message Gu Yu wanted to convey, Song Xinran’s heartstrings slightly relaxed. The slight confusion faded. Her little finger tightened, clasping the other party’s finger joint.
—Okay.
After the ritual-like getting-to-know-each-other segment ended, the director, holding a loudspeaker outside the camera, shouted, “All the guests are here today. Everyone, please rest well tonight. We will leave for the countryside tomorrow morning.”
As a pastoral variety show, the production team certainly wouldn’t let the guests stay in a five-star hotel. After the official filming began, the group needed to take the vehicles arranged by the variety show team to the countryside and then begin the main program recording.
The group dragged their luggage and entered the hotel. At this point, the cameras were no longer following them.
Out of the lens, the group was noticeably more relaxed. After leaving the elevator, they started chatting while walking.
The domestic entertainment industry was not small, but it wasn’t particularly large either.
Among the people present, several had previously collaborated to some extent. Now that they met, they had some topics to chat about.
Fu Ranqiu turned to Lyu Yin and smiled, saying softly, “I listened to Grass Grows. It’s very beautiful. Congratulations.”
Grass Grows was the lyrical song that Lyu Yin had recently made popular. It told the story of a young girl relentlessly pursuing her dream, persisting like a blade of grass despite countless setbacks.
Lyu Yin’s expression softened, and she sincerely thanked her, “Thank you.”
“I really hope we’ll have a second collaboration,” Fu Ranqiu sighed.
Lyu Yin pursed her lips and said, “We will.”
Fu Ranqiu blinked. This action slightly softened the sharpness and charm inherently present in her features: “I hope our next collaboration will be in my lead drama.”
Lyu Yin looked up and said seriously, “I look forward to that day.”
Fu Ranqiu was momentarily stunned, and then her smile deepened.
She debuted in her early years by acting in low-budget short dramas, also playing a villainous female supporting role. At that time, Lyu Yin had already been struggling in the music industry for three years, responsible for the theme song’s lyrics, composition, and performance for that drama.
However, the result was unfortunate. Neither the drama nor the song was successful, like a stone thrown into a turbulent sea, failing to create any disturbance belonging to them.
Quan Yanfei and Yu Chu walked in front, chatting and laughing. Gu Yu and Song Xinran stood together.
The aisle was most suitable for two people to walk side-by-side. Because there were people around, they didn’t talk much.
Behind them, Le Weier’s eyes darted around curiously. Then, she leaned toward Feng Shuang and whispered, “I feel like the seniors are easy to get along with, but what exactly is Miss Song’s background?”
Feng Shuang dragged her suitcase with one hand. The brim of her cap obscured the look in her eyes. Her other hand was placed on top of Le Weier’s head, pressing down.
Then she said, “No matter what her background is, we probably can’t afford to offend her.”
Le Weier touched her head and let out a silent groan in her heart.
Hmph, is being cool so great! Always touching my head!
Because of Song Xinran’s personal investment in this episode, the hotel environment was excellent. All the guests stayed on the same floor, just in different locations.
Everyone successively arrived at their rooms. Gu Yu said hello to the others and opened her room with the key card.
As she pushed the door in, she met Miss Song’s gaze.
Almost four hours had passed since the temporary mark at noon. She didn’t know when the pheromone’s comforting effect would wear off.
Gu Yu felt a little uneasy and decided to find a chance to visit Miss Song’s room later.
So, taking advantage of others not looking her way, she slightly moved her lips and silently mouthed a sentence to Miss Song: Don’t worry.
—But in fact, before she even had a chance to look for Miss Song, Miss Song had already come to her first.
Half an hour after entering the room, Gu Yu estimated the time, thinking that no one should see her if she went out now. She was about to get up and leave for Miss Song’s room when she heard a knock on her door.
Gu Yu sensed something and opened the door. Outside was indeed Song Xinran.
Upon seeing Gu Yu, Song Xinran immediately looked up, her peach-blossom eyes filled with eagerness, and she took a step forward.
“Gu Yu, kiss me. I can’t control my pheromones anymore.”
