Are You Trying to Mark Me? (GL, ABO) - Chapter 32
Yu Ran sat on the sofa, watching as everyone else had already left, leaving only the camera showing that two people were still live streaming for the audience.
“Let’s go upstairs first.”
Min Wenyi stood up and said to Yu Ran, “Give me your luggage.”
“Okay.”
Yu Ran looked up and nodded at Min Wenyi.
Taking the luggage from Yu Ran, neither of them spoke as they walked up the stairs to the second floor.
The space upstairs wasn’t as spacious as the first floor. Along a hallway were several rooms. The others had already started tidying up and getting ready to rest, leaving only the room at the very end.
Pushing open the door, Min Wenyi looked around and found that the small room only had one bed.
The bed wasn’t big—just a little over a meter wide, a double bed but narrow.
To respect the privacy of the guests, the production team hadn’t installed any cameras inside the room. There was only one working camera in the hallway on the second floor.
The two of them stood at the door, silently staring at the only narrow bed inside.
“I… I’ll go ask them for another bed,” Yu Ran said as she turned to leave, but Min Wenyi grabbed her wrist.
Min Wenyi looked back at the confused expression on Yu Ran’s face and said coldly, “Come in first. I have something to tell you.”
Before Yu Ran could react, she was pulled inside.
Bang—
Min Wenyi reached out, pulled Yu Ran behind her, and closed the door.
Her touch on Yu Ran’s wrist was burning hot.
But Min Wenyi’s expression was very dark.
Yu Ran had never seen Min Wenyi this angry before. It was like a volcano simmering quietly on the surface but filled underneath with scorching lava.
It was as if the next second she could melt everything away.
With the lights off, only the neon lights outside lit the room as their eyes met.
“Do you really like Yu Hongwen?” Min Wenyi was the first to speak, arms crossed, staring coldly at her assistant in the dark. “How come I never knew you liked any celebrities?”
When they first met, Yu Ran didn’t even know who she was but was so enthusiastic about Yu Hongwen.
It was really unpleasant.
Yu Ran scratched her head and said, “I don’t follow stars, but I do like Yu Hongwen. After all, he seemed very kind when doing charity work.”
Very kind?
Min Wenyi’s expression darkened. Was Yu Ran into the gentle type?
“Even so, you can’t just ask him for an autograph. You’re my assistant now, and you need to be careful when you’re out.”
“But I just wanted one autograph. It shouldn’t be a big deal…!”
Before she finished, Min Wenyi put her palm gently over Yu Ran’s ear.
In the darkness, only Min Wenyi’s amber-like bright eyes and a flash of bright rouge at her temple were visible.
Yu Ran could smell a strong Alpha scent, stronger than usual, like a raging undercurrent beneath the surface.
Min Wenyi stared at Yu Ran and said in a low voice, “Yu Ran, you’re my assistant.”
You can’t like any other star.
Your eyes, your heart, even your body—all belong to me, Min Wenyi.
That fierce and intense desire made Min Wenyi act especially restless, like a trapped wild beast forced to pretend to stay calm.
Yu Ran felt her eardrums clearly pick up her own heartbeat. Looking at Min Wenyi just an inch away, she nervously clutched her chest and nodded, “I understand…”
Min Wenyi was very angry.
Once that thought appeared, it lingered in Yu Ran’s mind, refusing to leave.
Since there was only one bed, they hesitated for a long time. Finally, Min Wenyi decided to sleep on the sofa and let Yu Ran have the bed.
Before Yu Ran could refuse, Min Wenyi wrapped herself in a blanket and lay down on the nearby lounge chair, turning over to sleep.
Yu Ran could only climb onto the bed and curl up on one side to sleep.
Late at night, Min Wenyi couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. She lay on the lounge chair, staring into the dark night and listening to Yu Ran’s soft breathing.
Today, she had lost her temper with Yu Ran.
Though she had tried her best to hold back, she still couldn’t.
Her tone was harsh, her attitude wild!
Thinking of Yu Ran, a fragile and delicate Omega, being scolded like that, surely she must be unsettled—completely against the usual rules about taking good care of Omegas.
Twirling her long hair, Min Wenyi sat up from the lounge chair.
With the faint light outside, she saw Yu Ran on the bed, curled up tightly like a little kitten, burying her face in the pillow.
The south wasn’t like the north—there was no heating or air conditioning, and the temperature was below ten degrees at night.
It was indeed cold.
“Yu Ran.”
Looking at her assistant’s small figure, Min Wenyi felt a bit sorry. Having lost her temper earlier made her feel even more guilty.
She walked to the bed and watched as Yu Ran slowly opened her eyes.
“Boss…”
Feeling sleepy, Yu Ran pulled the blanket over her head, showing only her eyes.
“Ugh, it’s so cold.” Yu Ran curled back into the blanket, turning into a little snail.
Min Wenyi sighed softly and took her own blanket over to cover Yu Ran.
Yu Ran peeked out from under the covers and said shyly, “You already gave it to me, why are you still covering yourself?”
“I’m wearing more clothes, so I’m fine.”
“…”
Yu Ran stretched her hand from under the blanket and held Min Wenyi’s slightly cool fingers gently. She said softly, “Let’s squeeze together just for tonight.”
Feeling Yu Ran’s soft palm, Min Wenyi smiled lightly and asked, “Aren’t you scared?”
“Scared of what?”
“…”
Min Wenyi looked at Yu Ran, wondering if this little assistant really didn’t understand or was just pretending not to.
She, a young, energetic, and strong Alpha.
And Yu Ran, a delicate, soft, gentle Omega.
How could they sleep together?
Min Wenyi squeezed Yu Ran’s palm and said unhappily, “Do you invite anyone sitting nearby to sleep with you too?”
“No way,” Yu Ran said with a little huff, “Only you get that treatment.”
Only you.
Her heart felt like it had eaten something sweet. Min Wenyi pressed her lips together to stop herself from laughing and pretended to be cold.
“We can just manage for one night. Tomorrow, I’ll have them bring two more blankets.”
“Mm~”
Snuggling back under the covers and holding her soft little assistant, Min Wenyi couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed.
If only she could always hold her gently like this forever.
The next morning, Min Wenyi woke up early.
Yu Ran was still asleep, so Min Wenyi didn’t disturb her and instead took her toiletries downstairs.
Some of the crews were already up and getting ready for the day’s filming. When they saw Min Wenyi come down, they greeted her.
“Teacher Min Wenyi, really sorry about this.”
One crew member said awkwardly, “Did you and your assistant sleep okay last night? Due to a staff mistake, the bed that was supposed to be taken from Lu An’s room got moved out of yours instead.”
Min Wenyi paused and said, “So my room was supposed to have two beds?”
“Yes, that was the plan.”
“…Got it.”
Min Wenyi reached out and placed her hand on the crew member’s shoulder, smiling, “I slept well. You all worked hard. Let’s just forget it happened.”
Crew member: “????”
What’s going on here?
After washing up, Min Wenyi walked into the living room and saw Chu Jiazhi and his assistant already awake, sitting cross-legged on the handmade rug, greeting the audience.
“Good morning! It’s only 7 AM. You all must be getting ready for school, right?”
“Yeah, I don’t even know what I’m filming today. Waiting on the crew to tell me.”
“Hahaha, do you like my outfit? My assistant picked it out for me!”
Min Wenyi looked at assistant Qiu Yang holding his phone, where colorful live comments were flying by.
Brother’s looking handsome as always today!
Check in for the most handsome Chu Jiazhi ever!!!!!
I want to dance on brother’s eyelashes!
Is this kind of beauty even real?!
You’re a juicy peach on earth, a heartbreaker of souls!
Min Wenyi watched the flood of flattering comments and suspected Chu Jiazhi’s peacock-like ego was entirely spoiled by his fans.
Every frame of brother is so heart-stirring, perfect from start to finish!
Even the live camera can’t handle your good looks!
I’m actually crying. I think I’m falling in love. Brother Chu Jiazhi, are you an angel sent down to earth?!
There were shorter comments too, like—
Ah, I’m dead! I’m dead!
Blow up brother’s good looks!
Conceived through the air!!!!
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Min Wenyi felt like the live stream was about to become Chu Jiazhi’s personal stage. Just as she was about to turn and leave, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Jiazhi looked back and stood up, “What is it?”
“Looks like someone’s here.”
Min Wenyi went to the door and opened it, seeing a middle-aged woman outside. She looked a little puzzled and said, “Hello?”
The crew hurried over, and Min Wenyi knew the mission was starting.
Sure enough.
The middle-aged woman smiled warmly and said, “Hello, I’m the owner of the guesthouse. I have something to ask you.”
Everyone in the living room froze slightly.
A mission???
The woman, plump and friendly, looked at Min Wenyi and said, “Tonight, my brother, who has lived abroad for 20 years, is coming back. Could you please cook a homemade meal for him?”
Having worked in entertainment for years, Min Wenyi knew this was arranged by the show. She nodded and smiled, “No problem.”
