Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 13
Is she angry? This thought inexplicably popped into Gu Chixue’s head.
Is it because my behavior in the kitchen just now was too much? But her reaction upstairs just now didn’t look like she was angry.
Gu Chixue scratched her head, looking puzzled.
Perhaps Gu Chixue’s gaze was too intense. Ye Rou felt someone looking at her and suddenly turned her head, meeting her eyes.
“Hmph.”
The moment she looked at Gu Chixue, Ye Rou let out a muffled snort from her nose, quickly turned her head to the other side, and even shifted her body away, almost explicitly writing [I’m unhappy] all over her face.
Gu Chixue looked at Ye Rou’s reaction, further confirming her suspicion.
Her mind was completely baffled. Having no romantic experience whatsoever, she couldn’t grasp why Ye Rou was angry.
Gu Chixue sat on the single sofa, no longer with her previous composure. Her small head was filled with big question marks: [What’s wrong with Ye Rou? Why did she suddenly get angry?]
But no matter the reason, it was clear that the person who made her angry seemed to be herself.
Gu Chixue felt a pang of distress. Should I go ask what’s wrong, and apologize? But that would inevitably deepen our connection.
She considered ignoring it, but seeing Ye Rou’s dejected look because of her, Gu Chixue felt an inexplicable discomfort. After much thought, she decided to go ask, after all, she was the source.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Chixue got up, walked to Ye Rou’s side, and squatted down to ask.
Ye Rou saw her approach, pouted, and turned her head away, not looking at her. She mumbled, “None of your business. Why aren’t you sending your text message? Why are you coming over here?”
“I’m just checking on you because you seem unhappy,” Gu Chixue said, feigning sincere regret: “If my behavior in the kitchen just now offended you, I apologize, okay?”
Xie Qingcheng and Zhou Qian, sitting nearby, watched their conversation, laughing inwardly with schadenfreude: [Heh, you made her angry, didn’t you? Serves you right. Let’s see how you’ll handle this.]
Ye Rou didn’t know why she was inexplicably unhappy seeing Gu Chixue chatting with Lin Fengran, but looking at Gu Chixue squatting in front of her now, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated.
She finally turned to look at Gu Chixue and explained, “I’m not unhappy about what happened in the kitchen, I just, I just…”
Ye Rou’s words suddenly stopped. She realized she couldn’t possibly say she was angry because she saw Gu Chixue chatting with Lin Fengran. That would clearly reveal her interest in her.
She suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards her room, leaving only a hasty “It’s not about that anyway, I’m going back to my room now, see you tomorrow” hanging in the air. Her hurried steps were as if some monster was chasing her from behind.
Gu Chixue stood up, watching Ye Rou’s retreating figure, her beautiful brows furrowed, feeling a great headache.
If it’s not about the kitchen, then what is it? Is it because I didn’t wait for her upstairs earlier? Hiss, this demoness’s thoughts are getting harder and harder to guess.
Looking at how she even closed off communication channels, how angry must Ye Rou be? Gu Chixue felt a little anxious.
Her thoughts turned to the phone in her pocket, and she suddenly had a good idea.
Ye Rou returned to her room, collapsing straight onto the bed. She grabbed the pillow from the headboard and buried her face in it.
“Ahhhhhhh, what was I thinking just now?” Ye Rou’s muffled voice came from within the pillow. Her body rolled from one side of the bed to the other and back again.
After a long time, she released the pillow, revealing a disheveled but still captivating face. Her limbs were spread out like a large “大” (big) character as she stared blankly at the ceiling lamp.
The bright white incandescent light in the room evenly illuminated Ye Rou’s fair skin. Her flawless beauty appeared even more exquisite and beautiful under the light. The girl’s clear eyes gazed dreamily at the play of light and shadow, lost in thought.
The scenes of her interactions with Gu Chixue over the past few days constantly flickered in Ye Rou’s mind: Gu Chixue with her full aura at their first meeting, Gu Chixue peacefully sleeping in the car, Gu Chixue eating happily behind her, and Gu Chixue selflessly shielding her in a moment of crisis.
Gradually, Ye Rou’s mind was filled with Gu Chixue’s image.
Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into her head: Could I really be falling for Gu Chixue?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Rou scrambled out of bed and quickly pulled out her phone, wanting to call her agent to tell her to scold her awake!
But as her finger was about to press the dial button, she hesitated. Although the outside world said Gu Chixue was a player, through their interactions these past few days, she felt that Gu Chixue didn’t seem as bad as the rumors in the industry suggested.
Maybe I should observe a bit more, Ye Rou thought.
Ding-dong, the sound of a text message.
Ye Rou raised an eyebrow and opened it: [I had a very happy day today, because with you, I experienced different scenery. If there’s a chance in the future, I hope to continue experiencing various different joys with you. P.S.: I don’t know why you were angry today, but I still want to apologize for what happened in the kitchen today. I privately promise you a wish card. As long as it’s within my ability, I will try my best to fulfill all your wishes.]
The “wish card” was something Gu Chixue had created with her comrades in her previous life. The situation on the battlefield was constantly changing, and no matter how powerful one was, there was no guarantee of not getting into trouble.
Whenever one encountered a crisis and was rescued by someone else, they would promise the other person a wish card afterward. This card represented gratitude and blessings. Thank you for saving my life, and I wish you to keep living until all your wishes are fulfilled.
“Pfft, silly,” Ye Rou tossed her phone aside with a smile, humming a song in a great mood as she bounced off the bed, quickly turned off the light, and ran back onto the bed.
Darkness enveloped the entire room. The moonlight from outside poured in like mercury, and the air seemed to grow quiet with the night. After an unknown amount of time, the girl who should have been long asleep suddenly opened her eyes, her hands constantly fumbling in the darkness.
A pale light illuminated Ye Rou’s charming face. She was mumbling, “I almost forgot to send the message. It’s all Gu Chixue’s fault, that bad woman, hmph.” A hint of distress flashed in her eyes as she said, “What should I send her?”
Hmm, got it.
[I haven’t been angry for a long time.]
With the revelation of the two messages, another wave of howls erupted on the bullet comments.
[Wish card? I want one too! I wish Gu Chixue to be my husband for ten thousand years!!]
[Heh, scumbag Alpha! Sea queen! Yesterday, she sent messages to Brother Ranran, and today she’s sending them to Ye Rou. Her true colors are exposed!]
[What’s wrong with the person upstairs? Ye Rou and Gu Chixue were together all day today. If not her, then who?]
[Ah, I’m dying. Don’t you think Ye Rou is pouting? I can already imagine Ye Rou saying those words directly to Gu Chixue’s face.]
[My goddess doesn’t belong to me anymore. I’m heartbroken, I want to cry!]
Early the next morning, as dawn broke, the silent villa was awakened by a piercing horn sound.
The horn continuously played the director’s booming voice shouting a wake-up call: “Get up, get up, everyone, get up! If you don’t get up, you’ll be late!”
The demonic voice endlessly looped in the ears of everyone still soaring through their dreams.
Ye Rou reached out from under the covers and vigorously waved her hand, as if trying to shoo away the annoying sound beside her ear.
Unfortunately, it was in vain. A rustling sound emerged, and Ye Rou sat up stiffly, remaining motionless for several minutes, her body constantly swaying slightly, almost falling back into bed.
It wasn’t until the director’s two hundred and forty-third wake-up call that Ye Rou finally raised her hands to rub her eyes and yawned.
She constantly calculated in her mind that after the show ended, she definitely had to mail the director a 360-degree surround sound system, timed to remotely play this wake-up call every day!
Ye Rou, who had gone to bed early last night, had for some reason been in a half-asleep, half-awake state. A figure kept appearing and disappearing in her mind, and she kept trying to see who this figure was. But the figure seemed shrouded in a mist, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see clearly.
Ye Rou was incredibly sleepy at the moment. She forced herself to gather her wits, quickly put on some light makeup, and left her room.
Coming into the living room, she saw that everyone was already dressed and sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast.
Her consciousness at the moment was not very clear. Her eyes scanned the room, fixed on a certain figure, and she walked towards them.
“Did you go out stealing at night? Why are you so sleepy?”
Gu Chixue was startled to see Ye Rou swaying as she walked towards her. Fearing she would fall, she quickly stood up and supported her.
Ye Rou’s blurry eyes looked at the person walking towards her. Her lips curled slightly as she said softly, “You’re the one who went stealing! I don’t know why I was dreaming all night last night, and now I have a headache.”
Her half-awake, half-asleep tone was very gentle, like a beauty whispering in one’s ear in the morning, making one’s heart itch.
What a demoness! Gu Chixue thought with a wry smile.
“Have some porridge. I made it this morning. I put your favorite dried longan in it,” Gu Chixue said, settling Ye Rou into the seat she had originally occupied, then went to the kitchen to ladle out porridge for her.
Ye Rou’s spirits lifted for a moment at her words, and she said loudly, “Put in plenty of longan pulp!”
“Okay.”
The people eating breakfast at the table stared blankly at the two’s interaction. Xie Qingcheng even forgot to take the half-eaten burrito out of her mouth, and couldn’t help but think: [Did I time travel again? Didn’t they have a conflict last night? They made up overnight?]
Zhou Qian came back to his senses and saw Ye Rou sitting opposite him. He quickly pushed the pan-fried bun in front of him forward: “Try this; I just bought it from outside. It tastes really good.”
With Gu Chixue absent, the playful coquetry had vanished from Ye Rou’s face, replaced by a cool smile. Although she smiled beautifully, it always gave off a sense of distance.
She smiled and shook her head, gently declining: “Sorry, I can’t eat high-calorie food in the morning. Just some porridge will do.”
Zhou Qian was awkward for a moment at her words, then forced a smile: “Hahaha, no worries, no worries. Celebrities really do need to manage their figures.”
“Right, sometimes I also crave certain foods, but my manager is very strict,” Ye Rou said, shrugging self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, Gu Chixue came over with the bowl, leaned over, and carefully placed the porridge in front of Ye Rou, saying softly, “You should still eat something. We don’t know what we’ll be doing today, and this amount of calories will be burned off with a little exercise.”
“Oh, alright~” Ye Rou’s voice trailed upwards.
Pfft…
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Lin Fengran hiding his face behind his bowl, his handsome face red from stifling laughter.
