- Chapter 13 - Want to Lie Down and Rest for a Bit?
As they settled down, the slanted sunlight cast a warm glow, blurring the outlines of their figures. The photographer captured the moment beautifully, making it look like a scene straight out of a romance drama. The viewers behind the screen were instantly smitten. Fans jokingly called for “Ergou (Second Dog)” to be Photoshopped out, leaving their goddess to shine alone.
In the midst of such an ambiguous atmosphere, Yu Wenxi naturally went with the flow. After all, romantic dramas were her forte. She took the initiative and gently held Yan Run’s hand. Yan Run’s ears flushed red just as Yu Wenxi said, “Take a photo of me, will you?”
Yan Run immediately refused. “I don’t know how to take photos.”
Yu Wenxi: “…”
【Hahahahahaha is Ergou actually a straight girl?!】
【She didn’t even want to take a picture! Bet that hand-holding earlier was just fake politeness.】
But then Yan Run added, “I may not know how to, but I can learn—for you.”
Yu Wenxi’s red lips curved into a smile, and she gave a soft hum in response.
【Cringe!】
【Narcissist!】
【So fake!】
Although netizens were convinced Yan Run’s attempt at playing photographer was purely for the cameras, they were still curious to see what kind of photo she’d take.
Unfortunately, Yu Wenxi didn’t get her photo—instead, she slipped and fell.
Hearing the startled cry, Yan Run rushed over. She saw the patch of lush green grass where Yu Wenxi had fallen, her long black hair tossed by the breeze. Yan Run asked in a panic, “Are you okay?!”
But before she could finish, she too lost her footing and tumbled down—hard.
Great. Not only did the “hero save the beauty” moment fail spectacularly, but she also ended up worse off.
【Everyone, look!!】
【OMG, what kind of steamy scene is this?!】
And yet, even this moment was cinematic. One Alpha collapsed atop an Omega. As Yan Run instinctively tried to get up, her neck ended up tangled in the same position she’d just held the Omega in earlier.
The Omega beneath her had clear, luminous eyes. In the golden sunlight, her skin looked as if it glowed.
As Yu Wenxi gently helped brush away Yan Run’s hair, she chuckled softly and asked, “Tired? Want to lie down and rest for a bit?”
【Wenxi!! Do you even know how much you’re flirting right now?!】
【Mama said NO flirting!!】
Due to the camera angle, the viewers hadn’t noticed that Yan Run was actually trembling slightly. She carefully rolled off and lay flat on the grass. The scent of greenery mixed with lavender surrounded her—it was, she had to admit, surprisingly comfortable.
Looking up, the sky was a vivid blue with soft clouds drifting lazily by, swaying gently in the breeze. It was calming, strangely familiar—like something she had once known but could no longer remember.
Beside her, Yu Wenxi said, “When work gets too tiring, I like to come out and admire the scenery. Just lying on the grass and watching the sky… Sometimes I even want to visit the Qilian mountains, or stroll past jade-green streams and rolling hills. Even the wild foxtail grass in the fields, or a quiet study in the woods, they all make me feel the breeze, feel the dreaminess of life.”
【No wonder she’s a top student—Wenxi sounds so cultured.】
【She’s from the Yu family after all. That family is known for its scholarly heritage.】
【Too bad someone here isn’t refined enough to appreciate it.】
There was no response. All Yu Wenxi could hear was the faint sound of snoring. She turned and saw that Yan Run had fallen asleep.
Yu Wenxi: “…”
So the netizens spent the rest of the day watching Yan Run sleep on camera.
Eventually, Yu Wenxi had no choice but to wake her up.
“Are we going back for dinner now?” Yan Run jolted upright and rubbed her eyes.
Arms crossed, Yu Wenxi teased, “If you were an actress, the public would rip you to shreds.”
“Why?” Yan Run blinked in confusion.
Yu Wenxi sighed helplessly, her tone somewhere between indulgence and resignation. “I’m going to wash my hands.”
Yan Run gave a quiet “mm,” and as she watched Yu Wenxi walk away, her gaze drifted once more to the sky and the clouds—so familiar, yet just out of reach.

At the entrance of the scenic area, while waiting for Yu Wenxi, Yan Run spotted a tall Alpha blocking the path of an Omega in a flowing moon-white dress. The Alpha’s brows were tightly furrowed, clearly trying to force something upon the Omega.
The girl cried out anxiously, “Jiejie, why are you leaving me? Please, just look at me, won’t you?”
The Alpha’s eyes were a dangerous mix of pitiful and cruel, like she wanted to tear the fragile Omega apart—but couldn’t bear to.
Yan Run couldn’t stand seeing an Omega being bullied. She stepped forward and shouted, “Back off!”
The Alpha, clearly displeased at another Alpha butting in, snapped at her, “Mind your own damn business!”
The Omega clutched the Alpha’s arm and pleaded, “A-Zhen, please don’t yell at her.”
Just then, Yu Wenxi emerged from the restroom and was surprised to hear the Omega call out with joy, “Chiyun?”
The Omega turned toward her, eyes shining with warmth and affection. “Wenxi.”
So they knew each other. Naturally, Yan Run had even more reason not to let this college-aged Alpha get her way. She moved between the two and shielded the Omega, refusing to let the Alpha come any closer.
【OMG did Ergou really do that?? Is this real??】
【Must be scripted. No way she’d play the hero otherwise.】
【Maybe she just wants a piece of that beautiful Omega?】
【Don’t be so cynical. I think she was respectful and protective of Chuchu. I trust her character isn’t as bad as the rumors say.】
【Yeah, stop judging based on stereotypes.】
The Alpha’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her long jet-black hair made her pale face look ghostly, and her gaze was fierce and calculating as she glared at Yan Run.
But Yan Run didn’t flinch—not even a little.
From behind, Lin Chuyin spoke gently, “Gu Zhen, just go back.”
Gu Zhen scoffed coldly. “So now you want to get to know this Alpha? You’re planning to throw me away again, is that it?!”
Lin Chuyin let out a soft sigh. “It’s not what you think. There’s nothing going on between me and her.”
But Gu Zhen remained stubbornly in place. Yu Wenxi, who had met her before, stepped in with a smile. “This is my wife. Surely you don’t still believe she’s some single Alpha looking to mingle?”
Gu Zhen, clearly recognizing Yu Wenxi, looked at her in stunned silence before turning to Lin Chuyin and saying, “Jiejie, please come home soon. I’m scared of thunder. I’m scared my mom will hit me. I’m really scared…”
Yan Run frowned. A nearly twenty-year-old Alpha, tall and strong, still afraid of thunder? The way she was acting was more embarrassing than Meng Qieyi and Ji Zhiye combined.
Lin Chuyin was silent for a long moment.
Gu Zhen continued, “I can’t live without you. You have to come back soon, okay?”
Lin Chuyin couldn’t take it anymore. An Alpha throwing a tantrum at her—worse, one with such a pretty face. In the end, she had no choice but to give a soft hum of agreement.
Only then did Gu Zhen smile. She stared at Lin Chuyin for a moment longer before turning and sprinting off.
Yan Run couldn’t help but wonder what the relationship between those two really was.
“Chuyin, are you alright?” Yu Wenxi pulled Lin Chuyin aside and quietly explained what had happened earlier.
Yan Run, tactfully, waited in the car.
Not long after, Yu Wenxi returned.
“She left on her own?” Yan Run asked.
“She drove off,” Yu Wenxi replied.
“She seems really refined,” Yan Run said, recalling her elegant presence. “Is she a pianist or something?”
Yu Wenxi raised an eyebrow. “You’ve actually met her before. And yes, she is a pianist. A piano teacher, in fact.”
“Oh?”
“You’re really not suffering from amnesia?” Yu Wenxi chuckled. “Guessing all that just from her vibe?”
Yan Run shrugged. “Maybe I’m just that smart.”
That finally broke Yu Wenxi’s composure, and she burst out laughing. Though she usually paid great attention to her image, she hurriedly covered her mouth—but not before Yan Run saw it.
And Yan Run thought to herself: She looks beautiful no matter how she laughs.
【Ahhh, Wenxi actually laughed that openly?!】
【First time seeing Wenxi laugh like this!】
【Was what she said really that funny?】

Since the production team didn’t have enough material, the Love Cabin decided to add a game segment.
Wei Qin had already been exhausted from today’s date. When someone from Xiao Liangmu’s team showed up to interrupt, she immediately suspected Ji Zhiye was behind it. She left before Ji Zhiye even made an appearance. That evening, when Yu Wenxi had just sat down, Wei Qin wasted no time in taking the seat beside her. Though she made a point to leave some space between them, it was still enough for both to fit in frame.
And just like that, the fanbases on both sides exploded in the livestream chat:
【I told you—Best Actress is absolutely stunning! That bold, dazzling beauty is peak aesthetics!】
【Wei Qin is a post-2000s goddess! Yu Wenxi’s plain features don’t deserve the title of “visual goddess”!】
【Plain?! If Wenxi’s refined features are plain, then what are the rest of us?!】
【Wenxi’s beauty lies in her elegance—and her noble, scholarly air! Your so-called Best Actress is just cheap flash.】
【Exactly. Like a flower with no scent.】
【Excuse me? Who are you calling cheap? That’s called being vibrant! And as for scent, your idol reeks of self-righteousness.】
At first glance, Wei Qin’s striking looks were more attention-grabbing. But Yu Wenxi’s refined aura was far more pleasant and soothing. The two were equally matched in appearance, which is why the “goddess” debate had persisted for years.
Yan Run could tell from the scrolling barrage of comments that their visuals were all anyone could talk about. It wouldn’t be long before they dominated the trending topics.
“I’ll go make some tea for everyone,” Yan Run offered.
Han Shu chimed in, “I’ll join you.”
Wei Qin chuckled. “Wenxi, the Alpha you found is really… hardworking.”
Wang Yunfan added, “Yeah, not at all like the rumors.”
Wei Qin stayed silent, her mind occupied with one thing: Just how many people are calling Yu Wenxi beautiful on the trending list right now?!
Yu Wenxi, calm as ever, replied with a smile, “Thanks for the compliment.”
While Yan Run was preparing the tea, Han Shu leaned in close and asked in a gentle tone, “Miss Yan, how are things going between you and Miss Yu?”
“Not bad.” Yan Run replied.
“Not bad?” Han Shu’s expression turned vague. “I heard yours was a political marriage?”
The camera was still filming in the living room, so their kitchen conversation remained out of the audience’s earshot.
Yan Run had already noticed how Han Shu had been cozying up to her for days now. If she weren’t wearing the label of “Yu Wenxi’s wife,” he probably would’ve written her ten love letters by now.
This greedy bastard.
“Who told you it was a political marriage?” she asked coldly, shooting him a sharp look.
But Han Shu only smiled. From the way they interacted at the beginning—like newly acquainted friends—to how Yan Run took charge in the kitchen while Yu Wenxi calmly drank bubble tea gifted by an alpha friend right in front of her wife, and not to mention the fact that Meng Qieyi had joined the show clearly to see Yu Wenxi… It was obvious.
A woman as composed as Yu Wenxi wouldn’t let another Alpha flirt with her in front of national viewers unless the marriage was fake.
To him, it was all clear: they weren’t in love at all. It had to be a contract marriage.
