The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 15

After the variety show ended.

The set of accessories Yu Xingyu designed for Shen Tangxi became a huge hit online, but they were completely unavailable for purchase outside, leaving fans unable to buy matching items.

Yu Xingyu had the intention of starting her own studio and business, so during the period when she wasn’t recording the show, she registered a brand named “Shine” and began recruiting employees for the studio. She needed people to help manage the shop while she was busy with the show.

The studio was located on a relatively busy commercial street, occupying two floors for approximately 300 square meters. The bottom floor was the retail shop, and the top floor housed the storage room and workspace.

The rent was quite expensive when Yu Xingyu leased it, but because she really liked the location and believed the business would be good, she decided to rent it after careful consideration.

Today, there were no recording announcements.

Shen Tangxi had other commercial filming work.

Yu Xingyu had the day free, so she came to the shop to interview a few employees and sketch some designs. Since her jewelry was pure handmade, the biggest problem was that it couldn’t be mass-produced.

She had already registered the original blueprints for her designs. In the future, if she wanted to sell a product in batches, she would need to hire specialized artisans.

Because the production cost was high and mass production wasn’t feasible, her route wasn’t a mainstream brand but a niche style, producing only dozens of pieces per month.

Yu Xingyu knew that while the brand was currently popular online, it was only because of her Sister.

If her Sister hadn’t worn them, who would have noticed the styles of these accessories?

It was Shen Tangxi wearing them that gave them unique recognition and value.

Otherwise, they would just be ordinary silver accessories; no matter how special the design, without acknowledgment, they would remain unremarkable.

Yu Xingyu wasn’t complacent because of the online craze. Instead, she felt that if the buzz died down after a while, no one would pay attention to her designs.

She knew that to design good jewelry, one must first calm and settle their heart. If she was a restless person, the design blueprints she drew would also be poor.

Yu Xingyu was currently sketching a bracelet design named “Xingyu,” named after herself.

The accessories she gave Shen Tangxi also had individual names, such as the iconic leg rings, which were named “Moonlit Night.”

However, all the items for her Sister were unique in the world; she would never make the exact same design again, only new styles in the future.

The “Xingyu” bracelet was the flagship style the brand would mainly promote.

The Xingyu series featured twelve different celestial patterns, corresponding to the 12 zodiac signs, but unlike ordinary zodiac motifs.

Yu Xingyu reinterpreted each constellation, engraving exquisite and complex design patterns onto the bracelet.

With such unique designs, even if imitations appeared on the market later, they wouldn’t achieve the finesse of the authentic pieces.

Time passed unknowingly while she drew. She started missing her Sister.

She touched her stomach; she hadn’t eaten yet.

Yu Xingyu picked up her phone and ordered takeout from a nearby commercial street—a hamburger and a cup of coffee.

While waiting for the food.

She sent a text message to Shen Tangxi:

「Sister, what are you doing? Are you done with work? Your baby misses you so much. I don’t know when I can see you again.」

After sending the message, Yu Xingyu stared blankly at her phone.

She felt like she hadn’t seen Shen Tangxi for only a day, but it felt like a month had passed.

She truly missed the days of recording the variety show. Back then, they stayed in a hotel every day and could be together constantly. Now that they weren’t recording, they were busy with their own affairs, and suddenly being apart felt strange.

While Yu Xingyu waited for her takeout.

A few paparazzi, carrying cameras, were positioned at the window of the shop opposite.

They had received a juicy insider scoop: Yu Xingyu’s loving image with Shen Tangxi on the show was all an act. She used Shen Tangxi’s money to pay off her debts, and while outwardly catering to her, she was secretly dating another Omega.

If they staked out Yu Xingyu’s studio today, they could catch evidence of her cheating. If her infidelity was confirmed, given that she was one half of the most popular couple on Heartbeat Love Song, the news would be incredibly explosive.

So, the reporters were eager and were staking out the scene of Yu Xingyu’s supposed cheating.

A moment later, a delivery guy, dressed like a typical courier, delivered the package to the studio door.

Yu Xingyu took the takeout and happened to see a message from Shen Tangxi:

“Just finished filming the commercial. Are you done with your work? What are you eating for lunch? Did you eat properly?”

Yu Xingyu took a photo of her takeout and coffee for Shen Tangxi.

She typed a line:

“Sister, I’m not quite done yet. Do you want to come to the studio to see me? You can also check out my new designs.”

Shen Tangxi had planned to return to the villa, but she couldn’t resist the little puppy’s coaxing, so she decided to go to her studio first and take her home together.

Her work schedule was packed now, and her recent surge in popularity had brought several new scripts for her to choose from. The show’s help to her career was genuinely significant.

However, seeing the little puppy’s lunch made her frown.

It seemed she needed to arrange for a chef to regularly send her meals from now on. Takeout wasn’t healthy for long-term consumption.

Yu Xingyu was delighted when Shen Tangxi agreed. She happily ate her lunch, but when she drank the coffee, the taste felt slightly off.

The courier who delivered the food earlier was masked, which struck her as strange.

Not long after drinking the coffee, she felt her entire body heat up. Her body temperature felt unbearably hot, like a raging fire.

This was the first time she had felt so uncomfortable since transmigrating. Her body was burning hot, feeling like something was trapped and needed to be vented. Her pheromones uncontrollably overflowed.

Yu Xingyu couldn’t stand steadily, and her vision became blurred. Her body felt like it was on fire. A sharp pain shot through the back of her neck, and the vine grew out frantically.

Although she had an Alpha body, her soul was still that of an ordinary person. She couldn’t adapt to this sudden, inexplicable rut cycle.

Yu Xingyu, who had rushed to study the relevant knowledge, realized her current situation resembled a rut cycle.

She had never experienced this before, especially since being with Shen Tangxi, where her pheromones had become submissive and calm. Being with her partner could relieve pheromone disorder, allowing her to safely pass the rut cycle.

She was in terrible pain.

Her body felt like it was melting.

It felt like something inside was burning.

Even her internal organs began to ache.

Yu Xingyu sensed her condition was abnormal. She recalled that the books said even if an Alpha had a rut cycle, the initial stage wasn’t that intense, and using an inhibitor would greatly alleviate it.

She frantically found the inhibitor she had prepared earlier in her bag and injected it into her arm.

She had prepared this in advance for potential unexpected Alpha symptoms.

But it was clearly not the same as what was described in the book. It felt like a rut cycle magnified a thousandfold. The inhibitor did nothing to alleviate the pain.

Yu Xingyu missed her Sister terribly right now.

She reached for her phone, preparing to call.

However, a strange Omega girl suddenly entered her shop.

The Omega girl wore a short skirt and seemed intentionally dressed up. She crept into the shop. Smelling the overpowering rose pheromone scent in the room, she knew the plan had succeeded. At this time, Yu Xingyu was alone in the studio, making it the perfect time to strike.

She slowly walked upstairs, intending to approach Yu Xingyu and release her pheromones. Once the drug took effect, no Alpha could control themselves.

But she was startled by the vine twining up the staircase. She was stunned by the dry vines spiraling throughout the room.

She had never seen a person actually grow a vine.

At this moment, Yu Xingyu suddenly smelled a sickly sweet, unfamiliar Omega pheromone. It wasn’t the scent she was used to. With a sliver of rationality remaining, her expression instantly panicked. Her reddened eyes felt blurry.

This feeling gave her a bad premonition. The book said that if an Alpha’s rut cycle wasn’t relieved, they might do things they couldn’t imagine.

Yu Xingyu screamed at herself not to lose control, not to do anything irreversible. She felt the Omega slowly approaching her was ill-intentioned.

She didn’t know what the Omega intended, but she was certain that this event was meant to ruin her.

Sister is coming to save me soon.

I must hold on.

I can’t let her ruin me.

If she did something irreversible, she would never be able to face her Sister again in this lifetime.

Yu Xingyu rushed into the workspace and splashed herself with cold water.

But it was still useless.

The Omega outside frantically pounded on the door, saying, “Come out! I’ll help you get relief. In your current state, if you don’t relieve it, you might be tortured to death by the pain!”

Yu Xingyu remained silent. She would rather die of pain than go out.

She endured the pain for an unknown amount of time.

Finally, she completely passed out.

When she woke up, she felt a soft body wrapped around her.

Her first reaction was to frantically push the person away, struggling violently.

Because if it was that disgusting Omega who wanted to harm her, she would go insane.

But a gentle voice came to her ear.

“Baby, it’s me. She has been restrained and taken away by my people. Everything is fine.”

“Sister, Sister.”

Yu Xingyu’s violent struggle finally calmed down. In her daze, she smelled the familiar white tea scent.

She finally relaxed and hugged the person back.

She murmured and leaned in to kiss her.

She’s so hot, so hot. I’m in so much pain, so much pain.

Facing the person she loved, she instantly crumbled.

Yu Xingyu kissed frantically, intimately sucking on the other’s lips, breathing rapidly as she kept saying:

“Sister, Sister, I need it, I need it.”
