Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 18
“Pfft… Okay, I’ll definitely treat you to the best!”
Ye Rou’s initially anxious and worried expression was replaced by one of amusement. She pulled Gu Chixue up from the ground with force.
Then she circled around her, checking for any injuries.
After observing carefully for a moment, it seemed there were no major issues.
Ye Rou reached out and brushed the dust off Gu Chixue, her deer-like eyes looking at her as she asked seriously, “Are you really okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“It’s fine, really. I used a bit of skill just now, and my back muscles absorbed most of the impact.”
Gu Chixue smiled and stretched her limbs: “What about you? Did you bump anywhere just now?”
At this, Ye Rou instantly remembered falling on Gu Chixue earlier, and the heat in her face rose again.
She lowered her head, not daring to meet Gu Chixue’s gaze, and could only stammer, “N-no… no problem, thanks to you just now, thank you!”
Gu Chixue looked at the girl’s blushing face in front of her, feeling the slight lingering ache in her chest, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
She could only feign nonchalance: “Hey, it’s no big deal!”
With that, she secretly gave a bitter smile. What kind of situation is this? Not only did I save someone, but I was also taken advantage of for nothing.
Gu Chixue wanted to cry but couldn’t.
At this moment, the surrounding staff, Lin Fengran, and others also rushed over, surrounding the two, anxiously asking if they were alright and if they needed to stop filming and go to the hospital.
Gu Chixue quickly shook her head: “No need. Ye Rou and I aren’t hurt. We just fell. It’s nothing serious.”
“No, we have an ambulance ready on the side. Please go to the car for a quick check-up first, otherwise, we won’t be at ease.”
The assistant director said sternly from the side, his tone allowing no room for argument.
Ye Rou also chimed in: “Exactly, let the doctor check. It’s best if there’s no problem. If there is, we’ll go directly to the hospital for treatment.”
Gu Chixue couldn’t resist everyone’s persuasion and finally agreed.
On the way to the ambulance, staff followed closely. Ye Rou still wanted to help Gu Chixue walk.
Gu Chixue felt utterly helpless: “I’m really fine. Your weight isn’t heavy to begin with, and with my previous shock absorption technique, I basically didn’t feel any impact.”
“Besides, I’ll have to take off my clothes in the ambulance later. You don’t still want to follow and take a look, do you?”
The people around burst into laughter, looking at the two with suggestive glances.
Ye Rou blushed deeply, lightly spat, “Who wants to see you! Why are you so wicked? If I weren’t worried about you, I wouldn’t be helping you.”
Black lines rose on her forehead. She wanted to slap Gu Chixue again.
Gu Chixue got into the ambulance and let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw it was a female Alpha doctor. She had been wondering what to do if it was a male doctor when she was outside.
During the examination, Ye Rou looked a bit anxious, constantly pacing around the ambulance.
The accompanying staff secretly found it amusing, quietly telling their colleague nearby, “If they don’t end up together, I’ll take off my head for you.”
The colleague gave him a disdainful look: “Anyone with eyes can see that. Do you need to pretend to be a know-it-all here?”
The doctor gave Gu Chixue a thorough examination and found no problems.
She raised a hand to adjust her glasses and smiled: “Not bad. Your muscle fibers are firm and strong. It seems you exercise regularly?”
“It’s alright, just some occasional cardio. Thank you, doctor.”
“No trouble at all. You can go out now and just tell them the results.”
Gu Chixue smiled and nodded, then turned and got out of the car.
Ye Rou saw Gu Chixue get out and immediately went to meet her, her voice full of concern: “How is it? What did the doctor say?”
Gu Chixue looked at the girl’s undisguised concern, a warm current flowing through her heart. A smile spread across her face: “Nothing at all. The doctor said I’m very healthy.”
As she spoke, she deliberately put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and looked triumphant.
“Cough, that’s good then.”
Ye Rou looked at Gu Chixue’s current appearance, her eyes not knowing where to look.
She felt like she would never forget the feeling of falling onto Gu Chixue.
As she thought about it, a blush again took over her cheeks, and a sweet, creamy avocado scent uncontrollably permeated the air.
Gu Chixue informed the assistant director of the results, and the show could continue filming smoothly.
The assistant director’s previously tense shoulders finally relaxed, and he slowly let out a deep breath: “It’s good that you’re okay. I was worried something might be wrong with your body.”
“We also have to thank you this time. Otherwise, if Ye Rou got hurt, we would have had a hard time explaining.”
Gu Chixue smiled and said, “It’s a small matter. Anyone would have reached out under those circumstances.”
“Alright, bear with us for a bit. We’ll start filming right away.”
“Okay.”
Everyone gathered at the filming location again.
Lin Fengran saw Gu Chixue and Ye Rou return and immediately ran up to them, asking with concern: “Sister Gu, are you alright?”
“Yes, don’t worry, the doctor said I’m fine.” Gu Chixue’s face was full of smiles.
Lin Fengran, seeing Gu Chixue’s normal expression, also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but whisper his worries into her ear, telling her to take good care of herself, pay attention to her health, and so on.
Gu Chixue nodded occasionally, chimed in with a couple of words from time to time, and patiently responded to Lin Fengran.
Ye Rou felt a wave of irritation at this sight. So noisy and annoying! I never noticed how nagging Lin Fengran was before!
Finally, the assistant director’s voice interrupted Lin Fengran’s incessant chatter: “Now for the rules. This race club is currently the largest and most professional track in the country, with a total length of 4.8 kilometers. This track has as many as 148 turns, with uneven road surfaces, and many sections are blocked by jungle.”
“I believe you’ve all become quite familiar with the track during the afternoon. Tonight, your task is to bring your observation partner and do your best to cross the finish line first. The first-place prize is still a secret, but I can guarantee that this prize will satisfy all of you.”
“That’s all. 10-lap race, total distance 48 kilometers. It officially begins now!”
Vroom, vroom, vroom~ The roar of engines tore through the silent night, carrying far away.
Everyone checked their vehicles, poised and ready.
Tonight, many people knew that the Jiangcheng Racing Club was hosting a competition, so many spectators came: fans of Ye Rou and Gu Chixue, pure racing enthusiasts, and many idle passersby.
At this moment, everyone surrounded the track, listening to the roaring screams of the 12-cylinder engines that echoed through the sky, their adrenaline continuously surging.
Some even went wild, tearing off their shirts, climbing to high places, waving them freely, their faces flushed with excitement, appearing frenzied.
Gu Chixue sat calmly in the car, humming an unknown tune to herself. She observed the spectators outside with interest, even casually chewing gum.
Suddenly, she looked at Ye Rou beside her, smiling as she tilted her chin, gesturing for her to look outside.
“Look how happy they are. The spectators are even more excited than the participants. Those red faces, I’m worried they might go into shock from being too excited.”
Ye Rou was very quiet at the moment, her hands clasped nervously on her knees. She asked strangely, “Aren’t you nervous? You’ve probably never participated in a race like this before, so why do you still look so relaxed?”
Gu Chixue pondered for a moment: “To me, this kind of scene is nothing more than just a lot of people. It’s always relaxing when you’re confident in yourself. The feeling of nervousness only comes from a lack of self-confidence in one’s abilities.”
She shook her head, yawning as she spoke, her demeanor very relaxed and indifferent.
“Pfft, I rarely see you act so confident. When I first met you, I always felt like you didn’t care about anything, as if you were detached from the whole world.”
Ye Rou was influenced by Gu Chixue’s attitude. Her heart, which had been beating rapidly due to the stimulating environment, gradually calmed down.
Gu Chixue’s face showed a hint of recollection: “It’s just that there was nothing to care about at that time.”
Indeed, at that time, Gu Chixue had just transmigrated into the world of the book and often felt a sense of detachment from this world.
She felt as if she were a high and mighty deity, detached from everyone else, watching the tides of change with a smile, untouched by cause and effect.
She didn’t want to form deep connections and bonds with these people. The only thing she valued in this world was the destiny she would face in the future. As long as she broke the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head, then she would be free as a bird in the sky.
But after spending these few days with Ye Rou, she encountered scenery she had never seen in her previous life and experienced emotions and feelings she had never had before.
Gradually, she felt her connection with this world begin. Her sense of belonging deepened, and her sense of detachment lessened.
Especially that glance she shared with Ye Rou on the drop tower, it was as if she had anchored herself to this world at that moment.
It was only then that she decided to try and accept the people and events of this world.
Ye Rou nodded thoughtfully at her words, then hesitated for a moment and said, “What about now?”
“Mm, didn’t I promise you that I’d let you win that surprise?”
Gu Chixue raised a hand to smooth her long hair, saying it casually as she languidly lounged in the seat.
A knowing smile crept into Ye Rou’s beautiful deer-like eyes. The girl squirmed in her seat for a moment, thought about it, then leaned in close to Gu Chixue’s ear.
“Then if you win, will I grant you a wish too?”
Ye Rou’s warm breath brushed against Gu Chixue’s ear. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she instinctively recoiled slightly, her earlobe gradually starting to burn.
She pretended to casually shift her body and looked at Ye Rou.
The girl’s beautiful, ethereal face was half shrouded in shadow, her lovely red lips exposed to the light. A tiny bead of lip gloss in the center seemed to shimmer with light, tempting one to bite it and explore.
Her eyes, hidden beneath the shadows, were surprisingly bright at this moment, staring intently at Gu Chixue, her gaze flowing, sparkling with brilliance.
“Good!”
Gu Chixue turned her head, the languid expression vanished from her face, and she sat up straight.
