Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 65

After showing off their affection in front of Wang You, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue walked away gracefully.

Yu Qingxue held onto Ning Xi’s arm and bounced twice with excitement. The light from nearby lamps reflected in her pale eyes, along with Ning Xi’s face.

“Thank you, Ning Xi. I feel so much better now. I’m not frustrated or upset at all. I knew it—when you’ve been hurt, you have to fight back right away. There’s no reason I should be the only one suffering while the other person walks away free and happy.”

Ning Xi had always considered herself a kind person, but not someone who let others walk all over her. She believed in returning kindness with kindness and grievances with equal force. In her heart, she agreed with what Yu Qingxue had done.

Even if this was just acting, there was no denying that Yu Qingxue had written a very good script.

By seven forty in the evening, the sky was fully dark.

Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue were now at the inn set, getting ready to film their scene.

Tonight’s shoot included a kiss scene. If it were with anyone else, Ning Xi’s professionalism would have kept her from feeling uncomfortable. But this time, her partner was Yu Qingxue.

Kissing a close friend felt very strange.

Director Jiang Yuanxin came over to discuss the kiss scene’s limits and camera angles with them. Since this involved personal boundaries, he was unusually quiet and didn’t bring his usual megaphone.

“You both know there’s a kiss scene tonight, right?” he asked.

Ning Xi instinctively glanced at Yu Qingxue and nodded. “Yes, we know.”

Yu Qingxue answered casually, “Yes, what about it?” Though in reality, the hand holding her script was damp with sweat.

“You’ve both done kiss scenes before, so this shouldn’t be a problem,” Jiang said. “After all, lovers always kiss. But tonight’s scene is different. We’ll need it to be a bit more intense.”

“How intense?” Ning Xi asked.

Jiang Yuanxin cleared his throat. “A real kiss. Tongue. Passionate. Lingering. In the scene, Feng Yunyan realizes her deep feelings for Dong Lingxue during the kiss. She didn’t know it before, but the moment they kiss, she understands what she truly wants. And with her character, she doesn’t back away—she does whatever it takes to get what she wants. The kiss begins as part of the act, but Feng Yunyan doesn’t tell Dong Lingxue. She suddenly makes it real. She’s not only swept up herself, she pulls Dong Lingxue into it too. Do you understand?”

In simple terms, this kiss was to be led by Ning Xi’s character. She needed to have enough emotional control and experience to create the effect Jiang Yuanxin wanted.

Ning Xi had only filmed light, brief kisses in her previous life. She had never done a scene this passionate before.

Jiang Yuanxin said, “I’ll have the crew step out and give you ten minutes to rehearse. Don’t actually kiss for real. Don’t bruise your lips. Let’s try to get it right in one take.”

He called the crew downstairs, leaving Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue in the room alone.

Ning Xi felt a bit awkward, but there was no way she could ask Jiang to remove the kiss scene, so she braced herself and asked, “I don’t really have experience. Qingxue, can you teach me?”

Right after she asked, Ning Xi suddenly realized that Yu Qingxue had only been pretending to be in a ten-year relationship with Wang You. They were just childhood friends, not an actual couple. There was no way they had kissed.

Yu Qingxue might not have any experience either.

Before she could answer, Ning Xi said quickly, “Never mind. I’ll search a romance scene online. There should be detailed descriptions. We can practice based on that.”

Yu Qingxue’s hand, hidden under her wide sleeve, clenched tightly. Her fingers curled slightly.

“Alright,” she said softly.

Ning Xi went downstairs and asked Ren Rong for her phone, then returned and quickly found a novel claiming to have the most passionate and vivid kiss scene.

She brought the phone back upstairs and sat between them so they could read together.

“It says here, start with a light touch, build the mood slowly. Wait for the hormones to kick in, then use the tip of your tongue to trace the shape of the lips.”

“How do you trace lips?” Ning Xi asked seriously. “Like applying lipstick?”

Yu Qingxue stayed quiet. She had no idea.

“Look at the next sentence. ‘Make the lips wet and glistening.’ That sounds like lipstick, but with lighter pressure. The point is to stimulate your partner’s senses until you’re in sync.”

Ning Xi nodded. “That makes sense. The key is being in sync.”

“Then it says you should part your lips slightly so I can see the tip of your tongue… but we’re going to be so close. How am I supposed to see it?”

Ning Xi frowned. “This description doesn’t seem realistic.”

“You need to lean back a little first. Maybe about ten centimeters. Then you should be able to see it. After that, you move closer again,” Yu Qingxue suggested.

“You’re right. You really are sharp,” Ning Xi said admiringly.

Yu Qingxue tried to remain calm. “I have strong comprehension skills. After all, I write scripts. Sometimes I need to write scenes like this.”

“You really could be a top screenwriter if you didn’t act or invest in films,” Ning Xi added.

They continued studying the steps together.

Ning Xi asked, “Next I’ll move in slowly. Should I just lean in, or hold your face? Holding your face adds pressure. You can’t escape. Which one do you think works better?”

“Hold my face,” Yu Qingxue replied. “That fits the relationship between Feng Yunyan and Dong Lingxue better.”

“Got it,” Ning Xi said. “Then after I get close, the kiss won’t stop at just touching lips. There will be tongue involved too. Since Feng Yunyan is the one initiating, your character shouldn’t respond right away. But once the kiss becomes intense, you can resist slightly by pushing back with your tongue.”

Imagining the scene made Yu Qingxue’s heart beat faster.

“Alright,” she said quietly.

They went through each line and movement step by step, rehearsing the sequence without any real contact. By the end, both Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue realized the kiss scene wasn’t as difficult as they had expected.

The ten-minute practice time ended, and Jiang Yuanxin returned with the crew.

“Scene thirty-three, one take. Action.”

On the way to the martial arts conference, Feng Yunyan and Dong Lingxue had to pass through Lianxiang City. However, half a month earlier, the city’s lord had suddenly announced a consort selection. Every unmarked Omega in the city was required to participate, and he would personally choose a few to become his concubines.

Even Omegas who were just passing through were not exempt. Unfortunately, the day they arrived in Lianxiang happened to be the first day of the selection.

Dong Lingxue’s unmarked Omega status was immediately reported to the selection officer as soon as she registered at the city gate.

The lord of Lianxiang City was the most dominant Alpha in the entire region. The whole city was under his strict control.

By midday, shortly after checking into their inn, Dong Lingxue and Feng Yunyan received the official selection notice. The tall guards who delivered it didn’t leave either. They remained stationed right outside their door.

Dong Lingxue was still processing everything when she suddenly realized something. Feng Yunyan was also an Omega, yet she had not received a selection notice.

Entrance into the city required a pheromone-level test. Since the guards believed Feng Yunyan was already marked by an Alpha, she had been excluded from the selection.

“Have you already been marked by an Alpha?” Dong Lingxue asked. She didn’t wait for Feng Yunyan to respond before voicing the most likely reason herself.

Feng Yunyan’s expression darkened. “Yes, I have been marked.”

Noticing her discomfort, Dong Lingxue didn’t press further. She frowned. “There are guards outside. If we try to escape by force, it will cause a scene. But I can’t really take part in the selection…”

Feng Yunyan’s eyes briefly flashed with determination. Looking down, she said quietly, “The lord only targets unmarked Omegas. If you were marked, even temporarily, he wouldn’t pursue you.”

Dong Lingxue shook her head. “There are only the two of us here. Where am I supposed to find an Alpha? And even if I could, I can only be marked by the Alpha I plan to marry. I can’t accept this idea. It’s not right.”

Feng Yunyan hesitated. “Actually, I learned a secret method from my clan. It allows a marked Omega to transfer a portion of their Alpha’s pheromones into an unmarked Omega, making it appear as though they’ve been marked. It’s only temporary, but enough to fool the guards.”

Dong Lingxue had trained in the Jade Heart Sutra since she was a child and had always been detached from romantic feelings. She knew very little about Alpha-Omega matters. Hearing this, she asked, “Are you serious?”

They could not afford to miss the martial arts conference. If Feng Yunyan’s method could help her avoid the selection, that would be ideal.

“I am. My clan used it before, and it worked nearly every time.”

Dong Lingxue asked, “What exactly do we have to do for you to transfer those pheromones to me?”

Feng Yunyan looked conflicted. “You may not be comfortable with the method. It could damage your reputation.”

“As people of the martial world, we don’t fuss over such things. Right now, the priority is getting out of this situation,” Dong Lingxue said firmly.

“You are right. I was overthinking it,” Feng Yunyan replied, her cheeks slightly flushed. She pressed her lips together for a moment before speaking again. “To pass the pheromones to you, our mouths must be connected. I will transfer it through direct contact, from mine to yours.”
