Picked Up a Little Trash GL [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 1

“So you just brought this kid back?” Xu Songqing looked at her artist, who was also her biological younger sister, Xu Yinhuai, with a headache. She couldn’t believe this was something her usually mature and steady sister would do.

She actually picked up a girl from the side of the road and brought her home!

Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Xu Yinhuai was a genuine female Omega, and this girl was an Alpha!

“Have you been single for too long, that you’re even targeting little girls now?” Xu Songqing glanced at the girl, who was dirty from head to toe, and pulled her sister aside: “This kid looks like she just came of age. If word gets out, people will say you’re robbing the cradle!”

A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Xu Yinhuai’s serene face. To be honest, she didn’t know why she had, by some strange impulse, picked up this girl who had suddenly appeared before her.

Tonight, she had no announcements. Xu Songqing liked to stay home and play games, so Xu Yinhuai went out for a walk as usual. Linjiang Community was a high-end residential area in S City, and the public security nearby was excellent, which was why she chose to buy a house here. However, halfway through her walk, she thought the food at home seemed insufficient, so she didn’t want to trouble anyone else and decided to buy it herself.

Although Xu Yinhuai was a somewhat well-known celebrity in the industry, she was the type who had an excellent reputation, and strangers would have a good impression of her. Still, they only remembered her roles and not her name, so she had no trouble going out.

However, tonight was special; she ran into some trouble herself. Even if she wasn’t a popular celebrity, Xu Yinhuai was still an extremely beautiful Omega. No matter how good the public security, there would always be small problems brewing in the shadows.

I should have chosen a community near the police station, Xu Yinhuai thought after being stopped by two Beta males. Of course, these two Betas didn’t do anything overly aggressive, just jokingly asked if she wanted to go for a drink. Before Xu Yinhuai could think of a countermeasure, she heard a deliberately lowered voice from behind her: “Excuse me.”

She subconsciously moved aside, and a very slender young person walked out from behind her. The young person wore a hoodie and black clothes from head to toe. Even such dark clothing still looked dirty and even emitted an unpleasant odor. The young person ignored the three people in front of them and walked directly to a spot not far from Xu Yinhuai, then very casually… rummaged through a trash can.

The two Betas thought they had run into trouble and were watching. When they saw a child emerge, they couldn’t help but laugh, even stepping forward a few steps with malicious intent, deliberately bumping the young person and knocking the food in their hand to the ground, then stepping on it.

The perfectly shaped cream bun was instantly stomped to a pulp. They scoffed twice and then approached Xu Yinhuai by two steps. Before they could speak, they saw Xu Yinhuai’s astonished expression. The Betas thought the beautiful Omega was frightened and were about to “comfort” her properly, but unexpectedly, a cold wind came from behind. After two “thump” sounds, the two strong Betas were kicked to the ground. The black-clad young person took off their hood, and only then did Xu Yinhuai realize that this was a short-haired girl. However, her face was also dirty, making it impossible to see her features clearly.

The girl picked up the stomped-on bun and forcefully stuffed it into the mouths of the two Betas, fairly, half for each.

“Do you know? I’ve monopolized all the trash cans in this area. If you damage my things, remember to compensate.” This time, the girl didn’t lower her voice. Xu Yinhuai heard clearly that it was a very clear voice.

The girl took out wallets from the two people and pulled out two hundred yuan from each: “Ten times compensation for each person, any objections?”

Xu Yinhuai glanced at the bun’s packaging. It was from “Shengtang Bakery,” twenty yuan each, which was the average price.

Of course, the two Betas had no objections, or rather, they dared not have any objections at all.

Watching the two walk away dejectedly, the girl frowned, turned around, and continued to rummage through the trash can but found nothing edible. She was about to leave when Xu Yinhuai, for some reason, spoke: “Let me treat you to a meal?” After all, the little girl’s dinner was gone because of her. It wasn’t until the two got closer that she discerned the faint pheromone scent from the other person. So, it was an Alpha after all.

“So, that’s it?” Xu Songqing eyed Xu Yinhuai suspiciously: “I’ve never seen you this enthusiastic before?”

Xu Yinhuai didn’t answer, and the two returned to their original spots. As an agent, Xu Songqing was naturally quick-witted. She had already started talking to the girl: “Thank you so much today; otherwise, our Yinhuai would have been in trouble. May I know your name, little girl?”

The little Alpha looked up, her black and white eyes wide open, expressionless: “Trash.”

“Hey, what do you mean by insulting someone?” Xu Songqing suppressed her anger, thinking that she had saved her sister, and continued to ask: “We mean no harm; we just want to know your name.”

The little girl continued: “Trash.”

“You!” Seeing Xu Songqing about to get angry, Xu Yinhuai quickly pulled her away. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze level with the little Alpha’s: “Do you mean that’s your name?”

Listening to such a gentle tone, the little girl’s eyes flickered, and she nodded, even showing a hint of docility.

Seeing such a response, Xu Songqing was speechless. She coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, thinking the child was throwing a tantrum. Xu Yinhuai felt an indescribable mix of emotions in her heart. The scene fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a ringing phone broke the awkwardness. Xu Songqing hurriedly answered the call: “Hello, President Su?” The person on the other end of the line was Su Qianjin, the CEO of Jiuding Entertainment, Xu Yinhuai’s company. Yes, this President Su’s name was Su Qianjin because she also had an older sister named Su Yinuo.

“Yaoyao, this time you’ll have to ask Miaomiao to save me!” Su Qianjin’s tone was urgent, and without waiting for Xu Songqing to ask, she spilled everything: “Chu Lan suddenly fractured her bone yesterday! I know Miaomiao doesn’t like variety shows, but I don’t have anyone else to fill in right now. You know how much effort I’ve put into ‘The Drifting Journal.’ Please let Miaomiao help me!”

Su Qianjin and the two Xu sisters could be considered childhood friends; otherwise, she wouldn’t know their nicknames. Xu Songqing didn’t refuse her: “I’ll ask Miaomiao what she thinks.”

She repeated the situation and added: ” ‘Drunk with a Thousand Beauties’ will be broadcast soon. I think you should take this opportunity to show your face more.”

“Drunk with a Thousand Beauties” was a harem drama, also considered a female ensemble drama. Xu Yinhuai played the role of Empress, the third female lead. Her role wasn’t small, but it wasn’t particularly outstanding either, so having another promotional channel would be good. Most top celebrities in the entertainment industry were still Betas, and while Alphas and Omegas had certain advantages in physical ability or appearance, their estrus periods severely limited them.

” ‘The Drifting Journal’ requires two people to partner up, right? Are you going to go with me?” Xu Yinhuai didn’t dislike variety shows, but she always felt that variety shows were like leading people, confining them to a certain persona, without the sense of full immersion she got from acting. Since it was her childhood friend’s show, she wasn’t opposed to going.

Only then did Xu Songqing remember that “The Drifting Journal” was a live-streamed variety show planned by Su Qianjin, gathering multiple artists. It aimed to have them survive in cities, rural areas, or even the wild in pairs or trios, claiming to show viewers the most authentic side of celebrities.

Chu Lan was also an old-timer at Jiuding Entertainment, a skilled female Omega actress who could be considered both a rival and a friend to Xu Yinhuai. The company’s original plan was to have her and the new rising idol Beta, Lu Ziwang, appear on the show together, to help bring up the newcomer. Still, Su Qianjin knew very well that Xu Yinhuai would never agree to be on a show with a strange young man, so she didn’t even mention it. She simply wanted the two sisters to appear on the show together, as Xu Songqing’s looks were also good, and seeing the sisters together on camera was always pleasing to the eye.

“I’ll go if I have to.” Xu Songqing agreed without thinking. She then contacted Su Qianjin, who told her that filming would start tomorrow, beginning with a part of the celebrities’ daily lives. This was no problem; Xu Yinhuai’s estrus period had just been suppressed with medication, and she had no work coming up, so she could start anytime.

After the two sisters discussed work, Xu Songqing voluntarily went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Xu Yinhuai took the silent little Alpha to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, looking at the clean, youthful face in the mirror, Xu Yinhuai was momentarily speechless. This appearance was too beautiful; she had seen many people with outstanding looks, but this girl’s face could certainly contend for second place, if not first. Unfortunately, a scar extending from her temple to her forehead broke this perfection. But fortunately, it was this way, as it gave the girl a touch of everyday human warmth.

Xu Yinhuai touched the scar, her eyes showing obvious distress: “Does it hurt a lot?” After saying that, she felt her action was a bit sudden and could only cover her embarrassment with a smile.

The little girl’s body tensed, all her attention focused on the warm touch. Her eyes stared intently at the other person’s slightly curved lips, her thin lips tightly pressed together, not uttering a word.

Xu Yinhuai thought the little girl was angry because of her actions and looked at her sincerely: “I’m sorry, I was too abrupt.” The girl silently shook her head, her expression as calm as ever. Even Xu Yinhuai, who had been immersed in the entertainment industry for a long time, couldn’t fathom her thoughts. However, knowing that the little Alpha wasn’t angry, Xu Yinhuai felt much more at ease. She led the girl back to the living room.

After dinner, it was already dark. Although she knew the girl’s capabilities, Xu Yinhuai couldn’t bring herself to just let her leave. She arranged for the little Alpha to stay for the night, and the young girl didn’t refuse.

But what she didn’t expect was that Xu Songqing suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night. By the time Xu Yinhuai had taken her to the hospital for an IV drip and returned home, it was already morning. By the time both of them woke up, it was already noon.

“Eat.” A cool voice suddenly sounded. Xu Yinhuai was surprised to find that the little Alpha hadn’t left, and the dining table was filled with light food.

A sudden warmth welled up in her heart, and Xu Yinhuai was momentarily speechless, only able to offer a kind smile to that indifferent yet delicate little face. Who knew that the little Alpha’s neck quietly turned red?

Author’s Note: So… I suddenly wanted to start a new novel, lol.
