The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 73
No one cared about Director Yan’s complex feelings, at least not at this moment.
Accompanied by the fan’s squeaking, the two squeezed onto the narrow small bed, embracing each other as they fell asleep.
Meanwhile, in a private apartment in the capital, Xie Yuanjing’s face was cold and condensed. Holding his phone, he asked again: “Are you sure you didn’t find a purple reagent tube on the outdoor lawn?”
The voice on the other end was polite and patient, replying for the second time: “Yes, Mr. Xie. I have asked all the hotel staff and am quite certain we have not seen anything like the reagent you mentioned.”
Xie Yuanjing’s expression was unsightly. The fingers gripping the phone were so tense that they were faintly white.
The person on the other side said: “Mr. Xie, would it be convenient to tell us what type of reagent it is? If it’s very valuable, our hotel will file a lost property report, escalate the search, and intensify the efforts.”
Xie Yuanjing said: “No need. That’s fine. It’s nothing rare.”
He hung up the phone after speaking.
In the brightly lit hall, the atmosphere was abnormally heavy and quiet. Xie Yuanjing sat on the spacious sofa and took a deep breath. He remembered that night he was kicked unconscious and woke up to find the medicine tube missing.
However, he was caught off guard by the old man and couldn’t deal with the matter immediately.
Now, the hotel had been searching for several days with no leads.
The scene from that night flashed through his mind.
Gu Yu seemed to have noticed his action of putting away the medicine.
Although he desperately didn’t want to think in that direction, all the signs indicated that the reagent was very likely taken by either Gu Yu or Song Xinran.
He had underestimated Gu Yu, that Alpha from a common background, and he had underestimated Song Xinran, that Omega.
He hadn’t expected Gu Yu’s pheromones to be so strong, nor had he expected Song Xinran’s reaction to be so fast.
Thinking about the lost reagent, Xie Yuanjing felt an inexplicable unease in his heart. He hesitated for a long time, but eventually picked up his phone and sent a message to a certain chat box.
: The N11 reagent is missing. Suspected to have been taken by someone.
In the countryside morning, the air carried mist. Even before the sun had risen above the horizon, the loud crowing of a rooster could already be heard.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo—”
The sound made Song Xinran frown slightly. Her head involuntarily snuggled deeper into Gu Yu’s embrace, burying herself further.
The Alpha’s body was soft yet resilient, and the scent on her was light and faint but exceptionally pleasant, just like her elegant pheromones. Song Xinran loved this smell.
Gu Yu was slightly roused by her movement. She gently stroked the back of Song Xinran’s head with her palm, stopping her continuous burrowing deeper into her arms. Her voice was slightly hoarse and clear from just waking up.
“Miss Song, is it morning yet?”
Song Xinran also opened her still-hazy eyes and looked towards the window. Unfortunately, the curtains were drawn, so she couldn’t see what the situation was outside.
So, she placed her head back on the pillow and said, “I don’t know.”
Gu Yu then freed a hand, reached for the phone placed nearby, and checked the time. It was exactly five-thirty in the morning.
After checking the time, she noticed that someone had sent her a few messages in the notification bar, but that was at two o’clock in the morning, when she was already asleep.
She put the messages aside for a moment, propped herself up. The hair that had been spread on the bed, intimately intertwined with Song Xinran’s, gradually separated with her movement.
She said, “Miss Song, you should go back to your room on the second floor.”
Song Xinran lazily “Mhmmed,” a little unwilling, wanting to stay with Gu Yu a little longer.
But she also knew it wouldn’t be good to linger, as they were currently filming. So, with a slight grumble, she reluctantly got up, put on her long coat, and got out of bed.
Gu Yu helped tidy her hair and said, “I’ll escort you to the staircase on the first floor.”
The small bit of resentment in Song Xinran’s heart easily dissipated.
The two opened the room door. The lights in the hallway were off. Through the window installed in the corridor on the first floor, they could see that the sky outside was already brightening.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, the door next door opened.
Lu Yin, dressed in workout clothes and with her hair in a high ponytail, looked like she was heading out for morning exercise.
The two parties met face to face just like that.
Lu Yin looked at Song Xinran, who had clearly just walked out of Gu Yu’s room, was wearing pajamas underneath, and had somewhat messy hair, and then at Gu Yu, who was following closely behind Song Xinran.
“…”
Silence. An extraordinary silence.
