After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, the Female Lead Can Read My Mind (GL) - Chapter 6
Jiang Beiwang stood at the door, peering through the meticulously cleaned glass.
How on earth could she get Yu Dong to go to the window?
Perhaps because the female lead was already in a “blackened” state, Jiang Beiwang sometimes felt that Yu Dong was a little different from how she was described in the original text.
For example, the female lead in the original text was vibrant, optimistic, kind, and always ready to help. However, the Yu Dong in front of her exuded an aura that screamed “do not approach,” with a beautiful, flawless face devoid of any emotion.
Jiang Beiwang initially thought it was probably due to the female lead already being “blackened.”
Later, she felt that wasn’t quite right.
Why would a female lead who was supposed to follow the plot normally become “blackened”?
As she was pondering this, she saw Yu Dong glance behind her.
Jiang Beiwang hadn’t even reacted fully, but her body instinctively ducked down, hiding out of sight from the glass.
After realizing what she’d done, she felt it looked quite strange.
Even if she hadn’t hidden, others would have just thought she was watching Yu Dong being punished.
But now, suddenly standing up would clearly be even stranger.
Her quick movement just now should have kept her from being seen.
Jiang Beiwang considered for a few seconds, then decided it was better to stay hidden for a while.
After all, she’d already ducked.
Yu Dong, who had witnessed Jiang Beiwang’s head disappear, was gazing thoughtfully at the head behind the glass in the door.
In a place where no one could see her, Yu Dong suddenly smiled silently.
Did Jiang Beiwang know how obvious her hiding was?
Yu Dong watched the slightly swaying strands of hair for a while, unconsciously recalling things from long ago.
That was when Ning Hanyan first came to the Yu family. In the eyes of outsiders and even the servants, Ning was undeniably Mrs. Yu, handling everything flawlessly.
She smiled every day back then, but Yu Dong couldn’t remember why anymore. She only felt that she should smile because she was the Yu family’s only child.
When Ning Hanyan first became her stepmother, she called Yu Dong into the rarely used study.
The books inside were covered with a thin layer of dust. Because it wasn’t used often, the servants didn’t clean it regularly.
Ning Hanyan said that Yu Dong needed to clean the room because she was a child of the Yu family, and every part of the Yu family should be spotless.
Yu Dong remembered agreeing quickly. She didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she meticulously dusted every single book.
Until evening.
She pulled the door, and it was locked.
There was nothing to eat in the study. Despite being full of books, it felt empty.
Yu Dong leaned against the door. The only window that offered a view outside was sealed shut from disuse.
She could actually feel it.
Ning Hanyan, having locked the door, naturally wouldn’t leave the window open either.
The next afternoon, the servants, who couldn’t find her, finally opened the door.
Yu Dong remembered walking out of the study with a smile on her face.
She was certain it wasn’t because she was happy. Rather, at that point, she felt she should make that gesture.
The memories of the past were already blurring. Yu Dong’s consciousness returned to the present. She was now in a place surrounded by warm decor. There weren’t many things, but it made her feel a sense of peace.
[Can I look up now?]
[She shouldn’t still be looking back after all this time, right?]
[I wonder what Yu Dong is doing. She’s not still piecing together that darned cup, is she?]
Jiang Beiwang wanted to look up, but she was afraid of meeting Yu Dong’s gaze at an inopportune moment. Hesitating, she rubbed the back of her neck, which was a bit tired from looking down. She decided to wait a little longer.
The shattered cup on the table had transformed from “the scumbag Alpha’s favorite ordinary cup” to “that damned cup that dared to hurt my beautiful female lead.”
Jiang Beiwang’s gaze fell to the floor.
Didn’t they say the female lead was already “blackened”? Why was she still so obedient?
Jiang Beiwang was utterly perplexed. She thought a “blackened” female lead would poison breakfast, resist the scumbag Alpha, thoroughly deal with the scumbag Alpha, and then, with a wave of her hand, bankrupt the Jiang family.
In reality, the “blackened” female lead she was currently seeing…
Didn’t talk much, was expressionless, but still did whatever she was told.
There wasn’t even a hint of resistance.
She even told her to piece the cup together, and Yu Dong obediently put on the clothes given by the servant and came.
And after arriving, she just kept piecing, not even glancing around.
The things she had carefully prepared hadn’t been touched at all. The cup was almost finished. If she left like this, what excuse could she find to deliver things later?
Jiang Beiwang let out a silent, long sigh.
[Actually, it’s okay to hit me sometimes. I’ll just pretend to be very angry and leave.]
[She’s so obedient, it just makes me feel even more embarrassed.]
[She might as well hit me hard a couple of times; that would actually make me feel more at ease.]
After waiting a few more minutes, Jiang Beiwang slowly looked up.
No eye contact, not piecing together the damned cup.
That meant!
Finally.
Yu Dong had finally gone to the window.
There wasn’t much by the window, just a full box of inhibitors, surrounded by delicious small pastries and fruits, and a first-aid kit just in case.
And Jiang Beiwang’s carefully chosen clothes, selected from an entire wardrobe, that suited Yu Dong.
Yu Dong had noticed them the moment she first entered.
After all, they were placed so conspicuously that it was hard not to notice.
But didn’t Jiang Beiwang know that the more she put out, the more deliberate it seemed? Who would put so many easily spoiled small pastries and fruits in an infrequently used place?
This was completely unlike the Jiang Beiwang of rumor.
This cautious yet clumsy arrangement, coupled with Jiang Beiwang’s contradictory attitude, left Yu Dong a little flustered.
The more she tried to hide herself, the more entangled she became with Jiang Beiwang.
Yet Jiang Beiwang seemed oblivious, as a familiar voice echoed in her ears.
[First, take the inhibitor, then eat a sweet pastry. After all, taking an inhibitor probably hurts a bit, so eat something sweet to ease it. Then, if the pastry is a bit dry, eat some fruit, and finally, drink some juice.]
[After all that, open the first-aid kit, disinfect the wound, put on a band-aid, and then put on the clothes I painstakingly chose.]
Jiang Beiwang, having laid out a sequence of actions for Yu Dong, looked at her expectantly.
Like someone who had completed something they were proud of and was waiting for praise.
The system couldn’t take it anymore, and an emotionless mechanical voice chimed in.
[Host, please pay attention to your character persona.]
No scumbag Alpha would do such a thing.
No, this scumbag Alpha would.
Jiang Beiwang collected herself a little. Looking at it, the things she had prepared really didn’t align with her persona.
Next time, the fruit should be cut into smaller pieces for easier eating. The clothes should be hung up so their full appearance can be seen, making them easier to choose. The small pastries should be placed directly on the table, not too far away to reach.
No.
She was a scumbag Alpha.
Jiang Beiwang thought about it. These things had absolutely nothing to do with being a scumbag Alpha.
[Has Host finally realized?] The system’s touched mechanical voice almost cracked.
She realized.
This way, no one would ever suspect a scumbag Alpha did it!
Because what she did had absolutely nothing to do with a scumbag Alpha, no one would ever think it was her.
She was a scumbag Alpha; she didn’t look like someone who would do such things.
System: “…”
Thinking that way actually made sense.
Made sense, my foot!!
Even the system had its limits of endurance.
The system silently activated its scumbag Alpha self-check function, used to detect any instances where Jiang Beiwang might be breaking character.
