Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 8
The amusement park was packed with people: adults, children, seniors, a mix of Asian, Caucasian, and Black individuals, creating an extremely lively and noisy atmosphere. Fortunately, the park was large enough that it didn’t feel overcrowded or difficult to move around.
This was, in fact, the first time Gu Chixue had seen so many people gathered in one place since coming to this world. Laughter, vendor calls, and even couples openly displaying affection were everywhere.
As she walked, she constantly encountered people dressed in bizarre cosplay costumes, or groups wearing animal suits or even armor passing by.
Having grown accustomed to the vigilance and caution between people in the apocalypse, seeing the genuine laughter on people’s faces and the ubiquitous snacks filled Gu Chixue with novelty. Especially the aromas wafting from the roadside stalls, which made her nostrils flare and her eyes constantly scan the food.
The follow-up PD behind her watched helplessly as Gu Chixue became glued to the spot whenever she saw delicious food, a dark line forming on their face: [As expected of you, Teacher Gu, there truly are no beautiful Omegas in a foodie’s eyes!]
It didn’t take long for people to notice the arrival of Ye Rou and Gu Chixue. Their fans immediately gathered around, taking pictures with their phones, screaming, and greeting the two, completely blocking the filming space.
The production crew members stepped forward to protect Ye Rou and Gu Chixue, earnestly urging the crowd to disperse, but it still couldn’t extinguish their enthusiasm at seeing their idols.
During the pushing and shoving, Gu Chixue noticed that Ye Rou’s face had lost its earlier excitement. Her cheeks were slightly pale, and her body even trembled unconsciously.
Her entire demeanor reverted to the cool and distant appearance she had on their first meeting, wearing a professional smile, as if it were a mask.
Just then, an ardent fan of Ye Rou broke through the staff’s blockade. He appeared to be a male Alpha. With arms wide open, his bulky body lunged at Ye Rou at an incredibly fast speed, attempting to embrace his idol.
Ye Rou could clearly see the fan’s distorted, fanatic expression in the backlighting. She wanted to retreat but seemed to be too late.
Her slender, delicate figure was about to be tackled by the tall Alpha when, in the nick of time, Gu Chixue’s hand suddenly shot out, forming a chasm between Ye Rou and the fan, blocking his charge.
The muscles on that arm instantly bulged in Ye Rou’s vision. A powerful gust of wind swept across her cheek, fluttering her bangs. A dull thud reached her ears, and then she saw the fan, choked by Gu Chixue, slammed onto the ground.
A gasp went through the crowd!
“You again, stalker? I saw you the day before yesterday. You were driving that van chasing Ye Rou, weren’t you?” Gu Chixue squatted down, a smile on her face as she looked at the person on the ground, who was constantly groaning in pain. However, there was no warmth in her eyes that should have accompanied a smile.
The stalker’s hefty body struggled on the ground, but the hand pressing on his neck was like a mountain, making him unable to break free. He shrieked, “Ah! It hurts like hell, you bastard, let go of me!”
Gu Chixue ignored the struggling person beneath her hand and looked up at Ye Rou, saying gently, “You weren’t startled, were you?”
Ye Rou’s face remained calm as she shook her head: “No, I’m fine. Thank you.”
Though she said so, the emotion in her eyes was a complex one that Gu Chixue couldn’t decipher.
The staff members were also startled at this moment. Two of them quickly ran over and forcibly removed the stalker from the scene. The surrounding fans, upon seeing Gu Chixue subdue the stalker, not only weren’t scared but cheered even louder.
Especially Gu Chixue’s fans, who shouted “Wife, please come at me directly!” and “Husband, I want to have your babies!” which caused the entire crowd to burst into laughter.
Gu Chixue smiled wryly and stepped forward to calmly address the fans: “We’ve felt everyone’s enthusiasm, and thank you for your love. However, we are currently filming a show, so please bear with us and give us some space for filming. Thank you very much.”
Ye Rou also approached, standing side-by-side with Gu Chixue, expressing her gratitude to her fans.
The fans, seeing the two standing together, cheered even more. However, many, seeing their idols speak, obediently complied and slowly retreated.
The director, back at headquarters, wiped the sweat from his brow caused by tension and let out a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Gu Chixue today. If something had happened to Ye Rou, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to the public. The director stroked his chin, lost in thought: [It seems I need to take better care of Gu Chixue in the future. It’s a good thing she likes beautiful Omegas, right? I’ll plan more segments for her and Ye Rou together in the future.]
Looking at Gu Chixue’s proud figure on the screen, the director had an expression of how I’ll take care of you, old friend, as he envisioned future scenes and chuckled to himself.
[Gu Chixue is too Alpha!!! I didn’t even react just now, and such a strong person was directly subdued by her.]
[Tsk tsk, subduing a male Alpha with one hand. Gu Chixue looks slender, but I didn’t expect her to unleash such power.]
[I’m a fitness coach. That stalker, based on his build, weighed at least 200 pounds. Plus the acceleration from running, Gu Chixue single-handedly withstood at least 800 kilograms of impact, nearly a ton of force! Is she even human?!]
[I’ll never badmouth her again. What if she finds out and punches me?! I’d die on the spot, wouldn’t I?]
[Is this the power of a top Alpha? I’m in love, I’m in love!]
[Bullshit! I’m also a top male Alpha, but I feel Gu Chixue could beat at least 10 of me.]
As the crowd dispersed, the program continued recording.
Ye Rou now looked at Gu Chixue with an apologetic expression, her deer-like eyes shimmering: “You’re not hurt, are you? I’m sorry, my troubles dragged you into this.”
“Hey, it’s fine. Do I look hurt?” Gu Chixue put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest, looking completely at ease.
“You were the one who helped me out the day before yesterday, right? When I was being chased by a stalker and got into that car accident,” Ye Rou said, her eyes fixed on Gu Chixue.
Gu Chixue inwardly cursed, realizing she had accidentally let it slip. She wanted to feign ignorance and get away with it, but facing those moist, wide eyes, she couldn’t utter a single lie.
Gu Chixue could only nod: “Yeah, I didn’t expect us to be so fated.”
Ye Rou frowned, her calm tone rising at the end: “Then why didn’t you tell me when we first met?”
Gu Chixue scratched her head and chuckled: “What’s there to tell? Doing good deeds without leaving a name, hehe.”
Ye Rou looked suspicious, and the two stared at each other for a long time.
Suddenly, Ye Rou turned, put her hands behind her back, and walked briskly forward: “Alright, I believe you.” As she walked, she hummed a tune, her delightful mood easily discernible.
Gu Chixue glanced at Ye Rou’s retreating figure, then looked up at the sky and sighed deeply: [Just strike me down with a bolt of lightning already!]
The follow-up PD behind her poked Gu Chixue’s shoulder with the camera, signaling: [Catch up! What are you doing?!]
Gu Chixue turned to see the camera almost in her face, then quickly stretched her legs and caught up.
“Is there any ride you want to go on?” Ye Rou asked Gu Chixue, who had run up beside her, in a soft, sweet voice.
Gu Chixue’s eyebrows shot up when she heard Ye Rou’s voice. She looked at the person beside her in surprise, her eyes seemingly saying, [Why did you suddenly change? Where’s the original Ye Rou?!]
A slight blush appeared on Ye Rou’s face: “I’m asking you a question!”
Gu Chixue shrugged casually: “Anything’s fine. I only came to an amusement park when I was really little, so all these rides are new experiences for me.”
“But compared to rides, I’d rather go eat those snacks,” Gu Chixue said, her eyes shining as she looked at the food stalls lining both sides of the road not far away.
Ye Rou rolled her eyes and said dismissively, “Why do you only think about food wherever you go?”
After learning that Gu Chixue was the one who helped her out the day before yesterday, she relaxed a lot and spoke more freely. She began to be willing to show her true self to Gu Chixue.
“The all-access pass from the show doesn’t include food here. Did you bring money?” Ye Rou asked.
Gu Chixue’s face fell in dismay: “What?! I have to pay for these myself?” She quickly fumbled around on her body, but found nothing.
Gu Chixue’s previously straight back curved, and she pouted aggrievedly, looking like a dejected large dog.
Seeing Gu Chixue like this, Ye Rou’s eyes crinkled with laughter: “Let’s go. To thank you for helping me stop that person just now, I’ll pay for all your expenses today!”
“Really?” Gu Chixue’s dejected expression instantly transformed into surprise.
This sentence was like a heavenly sound, extremely effective on Gu Chixue. Ye Rou’s figure instantly grew taller in Gu Chixue’s eyes.
“Hmph, of course! Keep up!” Ye Rou gave an arrogant huff, leading the way like a big sister, walking towards the food street.
Gu Chixue, behind her, blossomed into a smile, happily trotting along behind Ye Rou.
The two stood at the entrance of the food street, looking down a road lined with stalls as far as the eye could see. Gu Chixue sniffed the air, filled with the aroma of various foods, unconsciously swallowing.
She stood still, dizzily looking at the various foods on the street. Each one made her mouth water, and for a moment, she didn’t know where to start eating.
Ye Rou sighed and directly pulled Gu Chixue, starting their rampage from the very first stall.
The follow-up PDs trailed behind the two, stopping at every stall. Ye Rou would step forward to pay, while Gu Chixue would follow behind, holding food in one hand and feeding herself with the other, her face brimming with a happy smile.
Many years later, the stall owners on this street would still often recall this day: a beautiful and generous benefactress followed by a foodie girlfriend whose looks were no less stunning than hers, who literally ate her way through the entire street!
“Woo-hoo, so satisfied!” Gu Chixue rubbed her belly, looking utterly content.
Ye Rou’s eyes, full of surprise, stared at Gu Chixue’s completely flat stomach, wanting to speak but hesitating: “Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital? Eating so much at once, can you digest it?”
“This is nothing. I’m only about 80% full at most,” Gu Chixue said arrogantly, holding up eight fingers and shaking them in front of Ye Rou.
Ye Rou looked at Gu Chixue, who was completely different from their first meeting, and covered her mouth, chuckling.
The midsummer sun spilled into Ye Rou’s eyes, brimming with laughter. Gu Chixue felt as if the world had become even more vibrant.
