Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 51

After assigning Wang You the task of memorizing her lines, Yu Qingxue immediately used the time to write a 30-kilobyte script about an affair between Wang You and Wei Nian.

Now, the next step was figuring out how to get Wei Nian to act it out.

Yu Qingxue sent a message to Jiang Yuanxin on WeChat.

Yu Qingxue: Push me Wei Nian’s WeChat contact.

Jiang Yuanxin: Why do you suddenly want Wei Nian’s WeChat?

Yu Qingxue: I need to talk to her. Hurry.

The more Yu Qingxue rushed him, the more suspicious Jiang Yuanxin became.

Jiang Yuanxin: Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Wei Nian again?

Jiang Yuanxin: I already thought something was weird back at the hotel. You all seemed off. Come on, just tell me.

Yu Qingxue: You’re overthinking it. I’m not the one who likes Wei Nian. Wang You is.

Yu Qingxue typed the message with a calm expression.

Yu Qingxue: You know Youyou is shy and easily embarrassed. I just want to test Wei Nian for her, to see if she’s a good fit. Sigh. I’m being such a good best friend, worrying about Youyou, and now you’re accusing me. That really hurts.

Jiang Yuanxin: Okay okay, my bad.

Jiang Yuanxin: Alright, here’s my recommendation. From a Beta’s perspective, I think she’s pretty decent. But since Youyou rarely wants to fall in love, we should be extra careful. You’re better at reading people, so I’ll let you handle it.

Yu Qingxue: Got it. Nothing’s settled yet, so don’t say anything to anyone.

Jiang Yuanxin: Don’t worry. You know how tight-lipped I am. World champion level.

More like world champion blabbermouth, Yu Qingxue thought.

She had told Jiang Yuanxin on purpose, knowing he wouldn’t be able to keep the secret. She wanted the news of Wang You’s “affair” with Wei Nian to reach Ning Xi, and Jiang Yuanxin’s loose lips were the perfect way to make that happen.

Just a few seconds after adding Wei Nian on WeChat, the friend request was accepted.

Wei Nian: President Yu, you actually added me. I can’t believe it!

Yu Qingxue: Don’t get too excited. I have a role I want you to consider.

Wei Nian: I’ll do it. Of course I’ll do it. How could I say no to a role from you?

Yu Qingxue: Don’t rush. Let me explain before you decide.

This role might make Wei Nian look like a homewrecker, so it was best to be cautious.

Wei Nian: Please go ahead. I’ll think about it seriously.

It’s a role from Yu Qingxue. What is there to think about?

Yu Qingxue: Since it’s a personal matter, if you agree, I’ll pay you for your time.

Yu Qingxue: [voice message]

She sent Wei Nian a voice message explaining everything in detail.

Yu Qingxue: Let me know once you’ve decided.

On the other end, Wei Nian listened to the three-minute message in silence.

Of course it was Yu Qingxue. Only she would come up with such a complicated plan to pursue someone.

And the fact that Ning Xi didn’t want to date was unbelievable. With a face like that?

Wei Nian: President Yu, if the only one who thinks I’m a third party is Ning Xi, I can accept that. I’m just not sure if Sister Wang You will be okay with it.

Wei Nian: As for the payment, there’s no need at all. I’m happy to help as a friend. Don’t worry. This isn’t the first time I’ve acted in real life. I’ve got experience. I won’t let you down.

Yu Qingxue: I’ll talk to Youyou. Since you won’t accept payment, I owe you a favor.

Yu Qingxue: [file] This is the script. Read it and memorize it.

When Wei Nian received the 30-kilobyte script, which was over fifteen thousand words, she was filled with admiration.

So typical of Yu Qingxue. Being an award-winning actress, producer, and CEO wasn’t enough. Now she could even write scripts.

Wei Nian: President Yu, don’t worry. I’ll memorize it thoroughly.

Yu Qingxue was very pleased with Wei Nian’s reply.

She closed the chat with Wei Nian and opened Wang You’s WeChat.

Yu Qingxue: [file] Dearest Youyou, this is my new script. Please memorize it.

Yu Qingxue: Also, Wei Nian just agreed. I’ll send you her WeChat so you two can get to know each other.

Wang You: Wow, you really work fast. You wrote fifteen thousand words in one morning. Amazing.

That evening, not only did they have to reshoot Wei Nian’s scenes, but Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue also had to continue filming the next part. All four of them were on set together.

There were four dressing rooms on set. Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue shared one, Wang You and Wei Nian shared another. The other two were for supporting cast and extras.

When they arrived, Ning Xi noticed Wei Nian and Wang You greeting her and Yu Qingxue before walking into the next dressing room together. Suddenly, something occurred to her.

“Qingxue, why don’t you share a dressing room with Wang You? You’re both Omegas and you’re a couple. It would be more convenient for changing and chatting.”

Yu Qingxue remained calm and said, “The crew arranged it that way. I didn’t really think about it. Then after the situation with Wei Nian, Wang You started finding me too clingy. I figured it would be better to give her space, so I didn’t ask the staff to change the arrangement.”

“Letting her be in the same dressing room as Wei Nian might be a good thing. At least Wei Nian is lively and fun, unlike me. I must be boring.” Yu Qingxue trailed off, sounding self-pitying.

Ning Xi disagreed immediately. “You’re not boring. Don’t ever put yourself down for anyone else.”

Yu Qingxue looked at Ning Xi and sighed softly. Her pale eyes were slightly misty.

“Ning Xi, you’re always so kind to me. If I were in a relationship with you instead, I probably wouldn’t be like this now.”

Seeing the look of surprise in Ning Xi’s eyes, Yu Qingxue seemed to realize what she had just said. She gave a small smile and added, “Don’t take it seriously. I was just speaking without thinking.”

Ning Xi shook her head. “I won’t.”

At eleven o’clock, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue finished filming their scene. The next scene wouldn’t start until one o’clock, once the crew finished setting up.

Ren Rong came over holding two cups of milk tea.

“Teacher Ning, President Yu, here’s some milk tea to warm you up.”

Yu Qingxue took the cup but didn’t drink it right away.

“Is Group B still filming?”

Ren Rong nodded. “Yes, I just passed by. I think they’re shooting the last take now. The crew said Teacher Wei and Teacher Wang have great chemistry. They hardly needed any retakes. They should be done soon.”

Yu Qingxue nodded and said, “Thank you for the milk tea.”

Ren Rong was flattered and quickly responded, “You’re welcome, President Yu. It’s the least I can do.”

Yu Qingxue shook her head gently. “No, it’s not something you had to do. You’re Ning Xi’s assistant, but you’ve been taking care of me too. It’s only right that I thank you.”

Ren Rong felt a bit embarrassed by Yu Qingxue’s words. She had, in fact, bought the milk tea with a little personal intention.

Yu Qingxue wasn’t just her boss, but also seemed to be in an ambiguous relationship with Ning Xi. If the two of them ended up becoming a couple, then whether Ren Rong could continue working with Ning Xi after filming wrapped would all depend on one word from Yu Qingxue.

Yu Qingxue turned to Ning Xi and said, “Let’s go check in on Group B. Once they finish filming, we can give this to Youyou. She loves milk tea.”

Ning Xi had no objections.

When they arrived at Group B’s filming location, the director happened to call “Cut,” ending the scene.

The crew began moving equipment to the next set, and Wei Nian and Wang You got a thirty-minute break.

“I’ve already read President Yu’s script once. I’ve memorized most of it,” Wei Nian whispered as she let go of Wang You’s hand.

Wang You looked up at her and said, “You’ve got it easier than I do.”

Wei Nian only had to memorize fifteen thousand words, while Wang You had to learn forty-five thousand. The contrast was painful.

“Wang You.” Yu Qingxue called out once most of the crew had cleared the area.

Wang You looked over, her gaze subtly sweeping past Ning Xi. She reached behind her back and gently nudged Wei Nian’s waist. “They’re here. Follow my lead.”

Wei Nian nodded. “Got it. I’ll do my best.”

Wei Nian and Wang You walked over. The four of them found a quiet spot to talk.

Yu Qingxue smiled and handed the milk tea to Wang You. “Your favorite.”

“Thank you.” Wang You took it, inserted the straw, and looked up at her. “You’re not drinking?”

Yu Qingxue shook her head. “I don’t feel like it today.”

Ning Xi knew that Yu Qingxue loved sweets, spicy food, and milk tea. If she wasn’t drinking, it was only because she wanted Wang You to have it.

Wang You nodded. “Actually, I don’t feel like drinking it today either.”

She turned and handed the milk tea to Wei Nian. “You can have it.”

Wei Nian took it with a bright smile. “Thank you, Sister Youyou. I’ve been craving it since earlier.”

Ning Xi was silently stunned. Sister Youyou? Seriously?

She glanced at Yu Qingxue beside her and noticed her lips tighten in displeasure. Without a word, Ning Xi placed her own milk tea into Yu Qingxue’s hands.

“President Yu, you drink it. I don’t like sweet drinks.”

The warmth from the cup slightly eased the chill in Yu Qingxue’s fingers. The corners of her lips lifted just a little.

Wang You looked puzzled. “Didn’t you just say you didn’t want it?”

Yu Qingxue’s smile faded. Ning Xi, knowing that Yu Qingxue had given up the drink for her, looked briefly at Wei Nian and said calmly, “People change. Just because she didn’t want it before doesn’t mean she doesn’t want it now.”

Wang You, who always felt a bit intimidated by Ning Xi, didn’t say anything.

Wei Nian, oblivious to the tense atmosphere between the three of them, happily drank a big sip of the milk tea. When she looked up, some had stuck to her lips.

Wang You noticed and pulled a pretty handkerchief from her coat pocket.

“Here. Wipe your mouth,” she said as she handed it to her.

Yu Qingxue had already felt disheartened when Wang You gave the milk tea to Wei Nian. But now, watching her offer that handkerchief, a trace of sadness flickered in her eyes. She lowered her gaze and said quietly, “Youyou, that’s the handkerchief I gave you.”

Wang You frowned slightly. “It’s a handkerchief, isn’t it? It’s meant to be used. Besides, you already gave it to me. So, I can use it however I want.”

Yu Qingxue spoke even more softly. “I thought what I gave you was special. But I guess you’re right. It’s just a handkerchief. If it’s not for wiping mouths, what else is it good for?”

Wei Nian clutched the handkerchief in her hand, heart pounding. This felt more intense than facing a professional assassin.

She glanced nervously at Yu Qingxue, then said awkwardly, “I’m not used to handkerchiefs. I’ll just use tissues instead.”
