Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 26
At this moment, Ye Rou suddenly found her shield, long-legged and gone, leaving her alone to face Gu Chixue.
She remembered what she had just said and was so embarrassed she wanted to die.
What if this guy heard everything? Am I going to have to move to another planet now?
Ye Rou met Gu Chixue’s seemingly somewhat wronged eyes, and her heart immediately ached a little. My reaction just now seemed a bit too strong.
She no longer cared about the shyness in her heart. She quickly put on a goofy smile, ran over, and took Gu Chixue’s hand: “Hehe, I was concentrating on talking just now, and you suddenly spoke from behind me and startled me. I didn’t mean to yell at you.”
As she spoke, she shook their clasped hands, clearly acting coquettishly.
Gu Chixue wasn’t angry to begin with; she was just a little bewildered.
She shook her head, indicating it was fine. Feeling Ye Rou’s concern for her, Gu Chixue’s heart swelled with joy. It wasn’t in vain that she saved this little person.
She let the girl hold her hand, carefully observing her expression.
She encouraged softly: “You did very well just now, very brave. Now that everything is resolved, do you have any physical or psychological discomfort? How about we go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up later?”
Gu Chixue was worried that Ye Rou, having suddenly experienced such a kidnapping and seeing a dead body for the first time, might suffer some psychological trauma.
She deeply understood the terror of PTSD.
In addition, the forced estrus situation also required a thorough examination. This girl really gave her a lot to worry about.
Ye Rou knew Gu Chixue’s concerns. She nodded obediently: “No problem, but you have to come with me, okay?”
Ye Rou’s exquisite deer-like eyes were sparkling with anticipation as she stared at Gu Chixue.
A girl like this was hard to refuse. Gu Chixue’s heart also softened, and she chuckled softly: “Okay~ I’ll go with you later.”
Her tone contained an unconscious indulgence.
A charming smile quickly spread across her face. Ye Rou nodded vigorously, her eyes and brows full of delight.
But the next moment, as if remembering something, her happy expression slightly faded. She squeezed the warmth in her hand as if comforting herself.
She said slowly, “Before going to the hospital, I have something to ask Ye Qinfeng. Can you wait for me?”
Gu Chixue realized something. She smiled and raised her hand to stroke the girl’s hair, encouraging her, “Of course, no problem. Go ahead and be bold. I’ll be watching you from behind.”
“Okay!” Ye Rou replied adorably, then buried herself in Gu Chixue’s arms, hugging her tightly.
The girl took a deep sniff of the pleasant white grape sherry scent, then, as if heading to a battlefield, her expression became stern.
She looked up at Ye Fei, who was standing nearby, and slowly walked towards Ye Qinfeng.
Except for a select few she approved of, Ye Rou maintained a cool and detached demeanor towards everyone else, always wearing an appropriate smile and keeping a good social mask and distance.
But at the same time, she rarely revealed her current sharp and cold demeanor to people. The stern look on her face at this moment made her look, at first glance, like a rising Gu Chixue.
The same beauty, the same sharpness, the same full majesty.
Ye Rou stood in front of Ye Qinfeng, looking down at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions that were hard to decipher.
Ye Qinfeng looked up and met Ye Rou’s gaze for a long time. His hoarse voice spoke: “I know what you want to know. Winner takes all; I lost this time.”
“The information about Gu Chixue that I mentioned in the messages has all been compiled into a USB drive, which is in my room on the desk at home.”
Ye Rou was silent, then after a long pause, asked: “Why would you do this? Wasn’t what the clan gave you enough to satisfy you?”
“Little girl, you don’t understand. Human desires are like a Pandora’s box. Once you open a crack, then everything that follows is beyond your control.”
“As your elder, I apologize for doing such a thing to you. With my decades of experience in judging people, I’ll give you one last piece of advice: stay away from Gu Chixue. She is extremely dangerous!”
Ye Qinfeng looked at Ye Rou seriously, perhaps having given up all hope at that moment, his words sounding exceptionally sincere.
But Ye Rou didn’t buy it. The girl scoffed as if she had heard a joke: “No matter how dangerous she is, she still chose to brave this place alone to save me. Compared to you, who is family, isn’t she more reliable?”
With that, the girl paused for a moment, her voice falling: “I still remember when I was little, you would let me ride on your neck and take me out to play. Back then, after dealing with all my heavy schoolwork, what I looked forward to most was waiting for you to come home.”
“But I don’t remember when it started, my beloved second uncle gradually changed. Is power really that captivating to you?”
Ye Qinfeng was speechless. He retreated under Ye Rou’s gradually moistening eyes.
After a long time, a dry voice came from his bowed head: “I’m sorry.”
Ye Fei walked over at some point, a sigh echoing between the two.
She didn’t look at Ye Qinfeng, but simply raised her hand to stroke Ye Rou’s back, gently comforting her, and said softly, “Let’s go.”
Ye Rou suppressed the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, lifted her head, sniffled, turned, and obediently followed Ye Fei away.
Ye Qinfeng suddenly looked up when he heard Ye Fei’s voice. The emotions in his eyes at this moment were also extremely complex—was it acceptance, or regret? Only he knew.
Finally, he said hoarsely, “Big sister, Xiao Rou, don’t hate me.”
The backs of the two trembled. The air was silent for a moment. In the end, they said nothing, and only silence remained in the space.
Gu Chixue watched silently from a distance. She could feel the vast sadness in the girl’s heart.
Ye Rou walked over, saying nothing, only her eyes were still a little red.
She looked at the pity and concern on Gu Chixue’s face, and the sadness that had been suppressed in her heart instantly couldn’t be held back.
She quietly buried herself in Gu Chixue’s arms, slowly hugging her tightly, her voice muffled.
“Gu Chixue, I feel so sad. Why do you think someone who used to be so good to me suddenly became like this?”
Gu Chixue reached out and squeezed the girl’s neck, like squeezing a small animal.
She sighed: “He once stood at a crossroads. One path was called kinship, the other power. This was just his choice.”
“Desire is like a quagmire. He sank deeper and deeper into this swamp of power, eventually becoming unrecognizable.”
“But I’m still very sad,” Ye Rou mumbled from inside Gu Chixue’s embrace.
“We all have to pay the price for our choices, so don’t be sad because of him, understand?”
“Mm.”
After a while, Gu Chixue noticed the small person in her arms still had no intention of getting up.
She patted Ye Rou’s shoulder and swayed her body, saying, “We need to go.”
“No, let me hug you a little longer,” the girl tightened her arms even more.
Gu Chixue: “…”
She rolled her eyes at the teasing glances around her.
The police officer, in particular, gave her a mischievous silent smile, as if mocking what she had said to him earlier.
Ye Fei watched Ye Rou clinging to Gu Chixue like a human accessory, and her eye twitched.
She couldn’t help but sigh, This cabbage has finally grown up and is starting to learn to send herself to the pig’s mouth.
She used to find Gu Chixue quite agreeable, but now, the more she looked, the more annoyed she became!
After a while longer, Gu Chixue saw that Ye Rou still showed no sign of getting up. She finally reached out, grabbed the girl by the neck, and lifted her off herself.
Ye Rou had been enjoying the pleasant scent emanating from Gu Chixue’s body. Suddenly, she was forcefully pulled away and for a moment, she hadn’t reacted.
She widened her hazy eyes, pouted, and said in a sweet, delicate voice: “What are you doing? I’m sad, and you won’t even give me a good hug!”
Looking at the girl’s adorable appearance, and recalling how they first met, Gu Chixue felt a little amused inside.
But she still pretended to be serious and said: “AOs and Omegas shouldn’t be too intimate. Before, I was afraid you were scared so I comforted you. You can’t hug like that anymore, okay?”
Ye Rou’s eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
She quickly wrapped her arms around Gu Chixue’s hand and cried out, “No, no, no! You kissed me before! Are you trying to shirk responsibility? You’re such a scumbag Alpha!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Chixue’s earlobes immediately turned red. Feeling the strange stares from all around and the coldness emanating from Ye Fei behind her, she felt a massive headache.
Her entire face was practically scrunched up as she said, “Is this something you can say in public? You’re a big star, a Best Actress! You need to pay attention to your image.”
The police officers who hadn’t dispersed yet, seeing Gu Chixue, who had been so imposing just a moment ago, now flustered while dealing with the girl, all laughed and watched the spectacle.
They occasionally echoed Ye Rou, joining in to criticize Gu Chixue. Sounds like “Exactly, that’s really not right of you.” and “You’re too mean.” came in succession.
Ye Rou, seeing the encouragement from those around her, grew even more righteous.
She leaned in closer: “So what if I’m a Best Actress? I don’t care! It was my first kiss too, so you have to take responsibility!”
Gu Chixue, flustered, threw a pleading glance at Ye Fei, attempting to get her to rescue her.
Ye Fei, standing on the periphery, felt Gu Chixue’s gaze and shrugged innocently, indicating she couldn’t help.
Ye Rou had grown up in an environment filled with love. She was surrounded by people who cared for and cherished her, almost always granting her wishes. This fostered her personality from a young age: one that directly faced desires and fully expressed inner feelings.
She openly stated what she liked, and when she recognized a person or matter, she acted quickly and decisively – this was Ye Rou’s way of doing things.
Because she was strictly educated by her family since childhood, she was also precocious. But it was precisely this precocity that made her understand the treachery of human hearts at a young age, which is why she wore a mask firmly on her face – a way to protect herself from the outside world.
But don’t let her easygoing manner fool you; very few people and things truly got close to her heart. Her status and family background meant that many people approaching her had less than pure intentions.
Therefore, very few people in the entertainment industry knew her family background, but a beautiful face also attracted the attention of many ill-intentioned individuals.
She had seen and experienced too much over the years, until she met Gu Chixue.
Gu Chixue was one of the few people she had met, among all the various types, whose eyes were clear and unburdened by too much complexity or desire.
Genuine and unpretentious, with elegance and mystery coexisting.
This was also why Gu Chixue initially attracted Ye Rou’s attention; she was very special.
Later, as they spent more time together, their understanding deepened, and Ye Rou gradually developed feelings for this person whose outer appearance and inner self were so strikingly opposite.
Then, today, when she bravely came in alone to save her, Ye Rou knew in her heart that this person would be by her side for the rest of her life. This was not due to the influence of pheromones.
Even when she was in forced heat, her mind was filled with Gu Chixue’s image. At the same time, a very thin metal wire was hidden in her hair, always ready to be used as a weapon for a desperate fight with anyone who approached.
It wasn’t just any Alpha’s entry into that room that could make her succumb; it was only Gu Chixue.
Gu Chixue felt the girl’s feverish body constantly pressing against her. She finally couldn’t resist and said, “Okay, you can hug me, but only once a day.”
“Ah~ No, no, at least ten times!”
Then the two childish individuals began to haggle over the number of hugs per day.
The onlookers watching the scene dispersed, muttering, “This dog food is sickening. I’m full, do as you please.”
