Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 103

After breakfast, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue were set to record the second episode of the show.

In the previous episode of Let’s Fall in Love Today, almost everyone had made progress, so this time, the production team arranged more fun games to help them get to know each other better.

After two days of filming, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue’s relationship had grown even closer. Every time their eyes met, the air around them seemed to fill with pink petals.

Since Ning Xi had an early class the next day, she couldn’t stay overnight at Yu Qingxue’s place and returned to her dorm instead.

It was almost as if Huo Ziling and Zheng Tian had installed a surveillance device on her—during the recording, neither of them sent her a single message, but the moment filming ended, their texts came flooding in.

Huo Ziling: Ning Xi. Have you made up your mind?

Zheng Tian, still sending a friend request: [Ning Xi, it’s Zheng Tian. There’s something I need to talk to you about. Please~]

Ning Xi ignored Zheng Tian’s friend request and sent Huo Ziling’s message to Yu Qingxue instead.

On her way back to the villa, Yu Qingxue deeply regretted letting Ning Xi walk into the wolves’ den.

Yu Qingxue: Reply with “Haven’t decided yet.”

Ning Xi: Haven’t decided yet.

Huo Ziling: Think it over carefully. By the way, where have you been lately? Why haven’t you been at school?

Ning Xi: Busy.

The colder Ning Xi’s responses were, the more Huo Ziling persisted.

Huo Ziling: There’s a charity auction in Beihai City on January 5th. Do you have time to go with me? A lot of directors and celebrities will be there—I can introduce you to them. It’ll be good for your future career.

Ning Xi: No need.

Ning Xi: I’ll be going, but not with you.

No matter how much Huo Ziling pressed afterward, Ning Xi didn’t reply.

Yu Qingxue: The show will be done filming by January 5th. You’re coming to the charity auction with me.

Ning Xi: As what?

Yu Qingxue: As my girlfriend, of course.

Ning Xi: [Smile] I thought you’d say wife~

Yu Qingxue: …That could work too. [Shy]

Ning Xi: Got it.

After returning to school, Ning Xi called Fang Huailian to cancel her leave. The next morning, she got up early, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and headed to class.

This time, it was a specialized acting class, with only one group of performance majors in the rehearsal studio.

Ning Xi had been attending theoretical classes until now, so this was her first practical acting session.

When she arrived at the rehearsal studio, two or three people were already inside. Their eyes lit up the moment they saw her walk in.

“Ning Xi, you’re back in class…” a petite girl asked shyly.

Ning Xi nodded at the three of them with a smile. “I had some things to take care of before, so I took leave. I probably won’t be absent this week.”

The three of them were instantly mesmerized by her smile, their souls practically leaving their bodies.

Noticing they were all betas, Ning Xi walked over and struck up a conversation. “This is my first acting practice class this semester. What does the teacher usually have us do?”

Under the spell of Ning Xi’s striking dark eyes, one of them answered in a daze, “Lately, the teacher’s been assigning a lot of crying scenes—like hysterical crying, delicate weeping, annoying sobbing—probably for the year-end stage play auditions. Ning Xi, you’ve already acted in a movie, so your skills must be amazing. The teacher might even pick you as the lead.”

Ning Xi had performed in a couple of stage plays before and found them quite interesting.

If film acting was about restraint, stage acting was about expression. She had mastered restraint, but she still wasn’t fully comfortable letting loose.

“With so many classes missed, the chances of the teacher choosing me as the lead are slim. But I’ll do my best to secure any suitable supporting roles.”

Ning Xi’s gentle demeanor and warm smile gradually eased the tension among the three excited students, and soon they were chatting away, each chiming in one after another.

The rehearsal room grew increasingly crowded, and those who spotted Ning Xi were pleasantly surprised.

A bold student, seeing Ning Xi engaged in conversation, approached and joined in—unexpectedly, Ning Xi didn’t mind at all.

Others quickly followed suit, gathering around her.

When An Man entered the rehearsal room behind the teacher, she was stunned by the scene before her. Everyone was clustered together, and at the center stood a tall, striking figure who stood out even among the countless attractive faces in the acting department—none other than Ning Xi.

The acting teacher frowned and scolded, “Class is starting. What’s with the crowd? Line up properly, now.”

Immediately, the students shifted from their huddle into neat rows.

Ning Xi took her place in the back row. The moment the acting teacher noticed her, a flicker of admiration crossed his eyes.

Strange—had there always been such a standout girl in the sophomore acting class?

An Man leaned in and whispered to the teacher, “Professor Zhang, the most stunning one there is Ning Xi. She took over two months off to film a movie, so she hasn’t attended any of your classes before.”

A trace of displeasure flashed in Professor Zhang’s eyes. A sophomore starring in a movie? What kind of quality could that possibly have?

He despised actors who relied solely on looks without any real skill.

“Ning Xi, come here. I have some questions for you,” Professor Zhang said sternly, his gaze fixed on her.

All eyes turned to Ning Xi at the back, including An Man’s.

An Man, familiar with Professor Zhang’s temperament, could tell he was angry.

Her heart pounded nervously—why had he suddenly gotten upset?

Ning Xi walked forward with effortless composure. “Hello, Professor Zhang. I’m Ning Xi.”

She bowed slightly, her posture graceful and poised. Paired with her flawless beauty, it was impossible for anyone to stay angry.

Professor Zhang’s expression softened slightly before he caught himself, suddenly wary. This wasn’t like him—he wasn’t usually this lenient. What was going on?

“You’ve never attended a single one of my classes?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.

To avoid being swayed by Ning Xi’s charm, he deliberately shifted his gaze away.

“Today is my first. I’ve been looking forward to your class, Professor Zhang.”

Her voice carried a light, refreshing warmth, like a gentle breeze under a clear moon. Professor Zhang’s eyes darted back to her involuntarily, only to flinch away again as if pricked by a needle.

He deliberately retorted, “Too late for that. The semester’s already over.”

“Oh.” Ning Xi’s dark lashes lowered in disappointment. “I thought I’d finally get to learn from you today. It seems I’ve missed everything.”

She sighed softly, her entire demeanor radiating dejection.

Professor Zhang’s wavering gaze slid back, and a pang of guilt struck him at the sight of her expression.

“…Well, even though this semester’s classes have ended, I’ll still be teaching next term. No need to be upset.”
