Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 101

Sister Zhang already knew about the two of them being together, so things were straightforward from there.

Yu Qingxue asked Sister Zhang to prepare some fruits and snacks for her room and not to disturb her and Ning Xi for the next seven days.

“No problem,” Sister Zhang immediately brought out the things she had prepared in advance and placed them in Yu Qingxue’s room.

Once everything was ready, it was almost eight o’clock. The two went upstairs to the small living room, where Yu Qingxue locked the door before turning around and throwing herself into Ning Xi’s arms.

Yu Qingxue wrapped her arms around Ning Xi’s neck, tilting her head up with a flirtatious smile, her eyes brimming with allure. “How about our first time being in the living room?”

…

After seven days and nights, they had one day to rest at home before resuming filming for the second episode of Let’s Fall in Love Today the following day.

When Ning Xi woke up in the morning, she found Yu Qingxue missing from her embrace and went downstairs to look for her.

Yu Qingxue was already eating breakfast, looking radiant and full of energy as if she could go straight to filming without needing any rest at all.

Ning Xi’s eyes flickered as her earlier suspicions resurfaced.

Yu Qingxue had always acted exceptionally delicate and fragile in front of her, only displaying extraordinary stamina during her heat cycle. But now that her heat had passed, she was waking up earlier than Ning Xi…

Ning Xi walked over and sat down beside Yu Qingxue. “Why are you up so early?”

Yu Qingxue took a small bite of a fried dough stick. “We haven’t had a proper meal in seven days, my stomach is completely empty. Try Sister Zhang’s freshly fried dough sticks, they’re crispy and fragrant, and they go perfectly with tofu pudding.”

After Ning Xi sat down, Yu Qingxue picked up a dough stick and placed it in front of her. The savory aroma made Ning Xi decide to finish breakfast before asking about Yu Qingxue’s stamina.

Sister Zhang came out with a fresh plate of fried dough sticks and, seeing Ning Xi there, immediately beamed like a flower. “Ning Xi must be exhausted after these past few days you need to replenish your energy. Let me get you some marinated eggs.”

She set the plate down and soon returned with a small bowl placed in front of Ning Xi, containing two fragrant marinated eggs. Ning Xi looked up and smiled at her. “Thank you, Sister Zhang.”

When Sister Zhang caught sight of the red marks on Ning Xi’s neck, her eyes widened slightly before quickly narrowing again. “No need to thank me, no need.” Qingxue has great stamina, so she’s fine after seven days and nights, but Xiao Ning is just an ordinary person, she must have been worn out.

She was determined to help Ning Xi recover properly today.

After breakfast, the two moved to the living room to chat.

Yu Qingxue leaned against Ning Xi’s shoulder while playing on her phone. Ning Xi glanced at her and suddenly asked, “Qingxue, aren’t you tired? We have to resume filming tomorrow, you should rest properly today.”

Yu Qingxue instinctively replied, “I’m not tired at all. The show, ” Then she seemed to realize something and immediately went limp against Ning Xi’s shoulder. “I discussed it with Director Han, this week’s episode shouldn’t have too many exhausting segments. Though my body does feel a bit weak, I can push through. After tomorrow and the day after, I can rest properly.”

Yu Qingxue draped herself over Ning Xi like a boneless creature. Ning Xi wrapped an arm around her waist and helplessly tapped her forehead. “Tell me, are you actually trying to deceive me or not?”

Her body language and words had been convincing at first glance, but her expression clearly screamed, Oh no, I’ve been caught! What do I do? She seems to have noticed! Ning Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

Yu Qingxue knelt on the sofa, hugging Ning Xi and nuzzling her neck. “What do you think?” she asked.

Ning Xi detected a hint of nervousness in her voice. Gripping her waist, she pulled Yu Qingxue onto her lap. “I think you did it on purpose, letting me know how meticulously you schemed for me. How could you be sure I wouldn’t get angry after learning everything?”

Yu Qingxue rested her chin on Ning Xi’s shoulder. “I couldn’t be sure at all. I just wanted to take the gamble.”

“Is that so?” Ning Xi’s tone gave nothing away.

Yu Qingxue’s arms tightened slightly around her.

“Congratulations. You won the bet.” The next second, Ning Xi’s voice softened with amusement.

Yu Qingxue lifted her head, her light-colored eyes meeting Ning Xi’s dark ones. “Really? You’re truly not angry?”

“Not at all. I know you were just trying to charm me.”

Before Yu Qingxue could relax, Ning Xi continued, “But how many more secrets are you keeping from me? Why not tell me everything at once so I don’t have to keep guessing?”

Yu Qingxue hesitated. “…I forgot.”

“I’m just someone who’ll stop at nothing to have you. I’ve used so many tricks I can’t even remember them all.” She gazed at Ning Xi pitifully. “I’d confess if I could, but I really don’t recall.”

Ning Xi: “…”

At noon, Sister Zhang prepared a lavish meal. The three of them ate heartily and, too full to move afterward, lounged on the sofa watching TV.

The midday news played on the screen, and Sister Zhang watched intently, occasionally chiming in with comments.

Ning Xi’s phone buzzed twice. Unlocking it, she opened WeChat to find a friend request from a stranger named Zheng Tian.

The verification message read:

[I’m Zheng Tian, my profile picture is me. I’m from Shanda University next door. I need to talk to you. Your WeChat was given to me by my sister. Please accept.]

Ning Xi showed her phone to Yu Qingxue. “What should I do?”

Yu Qingxue frowned slightly, took the phone, and began typing rapidly. Ning Xi could sense her irritation from the force of her keystrokes.

[Who’s your sister?]

[Her name is An Man. She’s in your class, the class monitor.]

Yu Qingxue glanced up. “Do you have a class monitor named An Man?”

Ning Xi had been feeling that “Zheng Tian” sounded familiar. Startled by the question, she paused. “An Man… I think our monitor is named An Man.”

Yu Qingxue searched Ning Xi’s contacts for An Man, then sent her a screenshot of the conversation with Zheng Tian.

Ning Xi: Is this your sister?

An Man: Yes, yes! The little brat got curious about life on set and pestered me for your WeChat after finding out I knew you. But I’m sure I never gave it to her…

An Man: I’m so sorry. I’ll call her right away and tell her not to bother you.

Ning Xi: It’s fine.

“That girl’s got some nerve. She really is An Man’s sister, but An Man didn’t give her your contact.” Yu Qingxue declined Zheng Tian’s request on Ning Xi’s behalf.

Ning Xi grew increasingly certain she’d heard “Zheng Tian” before, though the name didn’t belong to any of the original novel’s omega love interests.

Yu Qingxue nudged her. “You’re not regretting rejecting her, are you?”

Ning Xi laughed. “Of course not. I was just thinking about something else.”

When she woke from her nap and sat up, realization struck Ning Xi in a flash, she finally remembered who Zheng Tian was.

She had indeed seen the name “Zheng Tian” before, but not in this novel, it was in another omega harem story.

Zheng Tian was the captivating protagonist of that novel. Even before her secondary gender manifested, children would line up to confess their feelings to her, and even some creepy adults wanted to take her in for some twisted grooming fantasy. After she presented as an omega, her irresistible charm became utterly unstoppable.

Zheng Tian herself took pleasure in conquering alphas, effortlessly winning them over with her allure.

Both novels were written by the same author. Ning Xi had read the one with a protagonist sharing her name, but she’d only heard about the other one.

Who would’ve thought the novel she transmigrated into was a fusion of both?

Now, this irresistible omega was setting her sights on her, an alpha.

Ning Xi found it somewhat amusing but didn’t take it seriously.

No matter how strong Zheng Tian’s protagonist halo was, it wouldn’t work on her.

In the afternoon, Wei Xinran and Sun Qize invited Yu Qingxue to dinner, along with Fang Huailian, Jiang Yuanxin, and Wang You.

Since no one else was bringing their partners, Yu Qingxue naturally couldn’t bring Ning Xi either.

Left alone in the villa, Ning Xi ended up watching a cheesy romance drama with Auntie Zhang.

The plot was dull, and the acting was so cringeworthy that Ning Xi could barely stand it. By seven in the evening, after dinner, she was slumped on the sofa, drowsy.

Ding-dong! The doorbell rang, and Auntie Zhang hurried to answer it.

Ning Xi turned down the TV volume and stood up, wondering who’d visit at this hour. Then she saw Auntie Zhang leading in a dignified middle-aged woman who bore a slight resemblance to Yu Qingxue, her face beaming with a smile.

“Madam, you’ve come at an unfortunate time. Qingxue went out to dinner with friends and probably won’t be back for another two or three hours.”

“It’s fine. I’ll stay the night, I have plenty of time to wait for her.” Yu Qingxue’s mother spoke gently. Despite her luxurious attire, there wasn’t a trace of arrogance in her expression.

The realization that this was her future mother-in-law suddenly made Ning Xi nervous.

Of all times to run into her, it had to be when Yu Qingxue wasn’t around. Her luck was truly something else.

Tall and strikingly beautiful, Ning Xi immediately caught Madam Yu’s attention the moment she stepped into the living room. The older woman paused mid-step.

Ning Xi quickly approached to greet her. “Hello, Auntie. I’m Ning Xi, a friend of Qingxue’s.”

Madam Yu studied her, hesitant yet secretly delighted. “Qingxue’s friend?”

Ning Xi nodded. “We worked on a film together before.”

Madam Yu sat on the sofa, her gaze never leaving Ning Xi. “Come here, sit beside me and let me have a closer look.” She patted the spot next to her.

Ning Xi sat down with practiced ease.

Auntie Zhang grinned, eyes crinkling, as she picked up the teapot. “Ning Xi, you chat with Madam first. I’ll go brew some tea.”

She hurried into the kitchen, thinking to herself: I didn’t spill a single word about Ning Xi and Qingxue’s relationship to Madam. If Ning Xi slips up in front of her, it’s not my fault.

“I’ve heard Qingxue mention you before, Auntie. You’re so well-preserved if Auntie Zhang hadn’t called you ‘Madam,’ I might’ve mistaken you for Qingxue’s sister just now.”

Ning Xi opened with a flurry of compliments.

Madam Yu laughed. “Such a sweet talker! I love hearing that.”

Ning Xi smiled and said, “I had always thought that with Qingxue’s stunning looks, her parents must be exceptional. Seeing you today, Auntie, I find your beauty surpasses even my imagination. You must have been a great beauty in your youth. Had you entered the entertainment industry back then, you would undoubtedly be a legendary figure in the circle now.”

When Sister Zhang brought out the tea, Yu’s mother was all smiles, looking at Ning Xi as if she were her own daughter.
