Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 67

The first day of Ning Xi’s susceptibility period passed smoothly without incident, and she relaxed her guard a little.

After finishing their night shoot, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue returned to the hotel, had a light late-night meal, and went to bed.

Their next scene was scheduled between nine in the morning and noon. They needed to arrive on set by seven thirty to prepare.

The next morning, before heading to the set, Ning Xi took her pheromone suppressant.

It was rare for someone to have a ten-day susceptibility period. If others found out, especially Omegas, Ning Xi might get entangled with even more of them. That was the last thing she wanted.

They rode to the set in a van. After getting out, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue walked toward the makeup room.

Ren Rong came running up to them, her expression full of barely contained excitement.

“Miss Ning, President Yu!” she called out, unable to lower her voice.

Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue exchanged a curious look.

“Ren Rong, what happened? Why are you so happy?” Yu Qingxue asked.

Ren Rong grinned, showing off her neat white teeth. “Miss Ning, the lead singer of the boy group Seven, Lin Zhuoyan, is visiting our set. He brought breakfast for the entire crew.”

“Lin Zhuoyan?” Ning Xi felt that the name sounded familiar. She was sure she hadn’t encountered it since arriving in this world. Maybe she had seen it before in a novel.

That thought gave her a slight jolt of unease. She asked, “What is Lin Zhuoyan’s gender?”

Ren Rong glanced at Ning Xi in surprise. She hadn’t expected her not to know who Lin Zhuoyan was.

He was the leader of the popular idol group Seven, with thirty million followers on Weibo.

Yu Qingxue, looking thoughtful, replied first. “Lin Zhuoyan is an Omega.” Then she turned to Ren Rong and asked, “He didn’t come to visit me, did he?”

Ren Rong nodded. “Lin Zhuoyan debuted through a reality show that your company invested in. I just heard him telling Director Jiang that he sees you as a second parent.”

Yu Qingxue fell silent. Being called a parent was a bit much. She had no desire to gain a full-grown son.

She was merely an investor in the show. She hadn’t appeared as a judge or mentor and had never even met Lin Zhuoyan. His sudden visit made her suspicious.

She glanced sideways and caught a subtle change in Ning Xi’s expression. Something was off.

“You really don’t know Lin Zhuoyan?” Yu Qingxue asked suddenly.

Ren Rong, sensing a bit of jealousy in Yu Qingxue’s tone, quickly made an excuse and left.

Now only Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue stood in the quiet corner.

Ning Xi’s expression grew complicated. “No, I don’t know Lin Zhuoyan.”

The original Ning Xi truly did not, but she herself did.

She had just remembered who he was.

In the novel, Lin Zhuoyan was one of the eleven Omegas infatuated with the original Ning Xi. He was the only male Omega among them. That’s right — the original Ning Xi had no preference between genders, though she leaned toward women.

Ning Xi had found him memorable when reading the book.

Not because of his gender, but because of his extreme possessiveness.

Despite being highly possessive, Lin Zhuoyan had eventually agreed to share the original Ning Xi with the other Omegas, which showed just how deeply the original had captivated him.

Due to a lack of affection in childhood, Lin Zhuoyan had developed an obsessive need to possess anything or anyone he considered his.

He would secretly monitor fans who only followed him, tag them privately, and if one of them began liking another celebrity, he would sabotage that celebrity behind the scenes until the fan came back to him.

In the story, one of his Omega fans accidentally caught a whiff of the original Ning Xi’s pheromones and became obsessed. She quit Lin Zhuoyan’s fan club and became a fan of the original Ning Xi instead.

When Lin Zhuoyan found out, he became furious and saw the original as a threat that needed to be eliminated.

They ended up working on the same drama. Lin Zhuoyan was the female lead, and the original Ning Xi played the third female role. The original impressed audiences with her gentle and charismatic portrayal of an Alpha, and the drama became a hit. Fans even started shipping her character with Lin Zhuoyan’s, saying that only when Lin Zhuoyan looked at her did his eyes sparkle with genuine light.

Fueled by resentment, Lin Zhuoyan stole the original’s pheromone suppressant during her susceptibility period. His plan was to cause her to lose control on set, humiliating her in front of the entire crew.

However, during the outbreak, only Lin Zhuoyan and the original were in the makeup room. Lin Zhuoyan inhaled the pheromones and unexpectedly entered heat himself. The two of them ended up sleeping together right there.

Coincidentally, no one approached the makeup room during that time. It only ended when Lin Zhuoyan took out the suppressant he had hidden and gave it back to the original Ning Xi.

From that moment on, he became hopelessly in love with her. His character in the drama wasn’t originally supposed to have feelings for the third female lead, but Lin Zhuoyan played it with so much subtle emotion that fans were convinced the two characters were meant to be.

After filming ended, Lin Zhuoyan began acting like the original’s boyfriend. But one day, he visited her apartment and found her with three other Omegas.

Enraged, he tried to break up with her.

The original Ning Xi, unwilling to give up his resources, pulled him into the group and turned it into a five-person scene.

Afterward, Lin Zhuoyan finally gave in and agreed to share her with the others.

He truly loved her. And he simply couldn’t handle her on his own.

There was no mention in the novel of Lin Zhuoyan visiting Yu Qingxue on set. Ning Xi began to wonder if she had accidentally attracted his attention somehow and unknowingly drawn this obsessive man into her orbit.

Yu Qingxue noticed something off in Ning Xi’s expression. She didn’t press, though. Ning Xi was blunt and uninterested in romance, so Yu Qingxue wasn’t worried she would fall for Lin Zhuoyan.

As for their relationship, she figured she could just go take a look and see for herself.

Yu Qingxue’s eyes gleamed with intent. “I didn’t expect Zhuoyan to come all the way here to visit me. Ning Xi, come with me to meet him.”

Ning Xi checked the time on her phone. “How about we do our makeup first? Once that’s done, we can go. I don’t want to delay the shoot.”

Yu Qingxue said calmly, “There’s no need to rush. Lin Zhuoyan is with Jiang Yuanxin right now. With Jiang’s personality, he’ll definitely try to use the opportunity to ride on Lin’s popularity. A slight delay in shooting won’t matter.”

Hearing this only made Ning Xi feel more conflicted. What if Lin Zhuoyan saw her face and instantly became interested in her? She didn’t have the time or patience to deal with such a pitiful yet terrifying obsessive man.

“You don’t want to go? Don’t tell me something actually happened between you two?” Jealousy bubbled quietly in Yu Qingxue’s heart, though she kept her tone casual and relaxed. With a half-smile, she added, “Even if there was, it’s fine. It might be a good thing to spark some gossip. It’ll help promote the movie.”

“Of course not! Qingxue, don’t misunderstand. I’ve never even met Lin Zhuoyan before,” Ning Xi explained quickly. “I just don’t want to get involved in any rumors. Please don’t pair me with him.”

Yu Qingxue felt a subtle satisfaction deep down and replied, “Then you really don’t need to worry. Jiang Yuanxin would never allow the lead actress to be tied to a scandal. At most, he’ll pick some minor character to be Lin Zhuoyan’s so-called mystery lover.”

“And don’t forget, you’re my girlfriend now. If Lin Zhuoyan dares to try and take you from me, he’ll be finished in this industry,” Yu Qingxue added with a confident smile and a gleam in her eyes.

“But aren’t we only pretending to date? What if he tells the paparazzi and they spread it everywhere?” Ning Xi looked genuinely worried. “That might ruin your chance to start a real relationship. I think I’d better not go.”

Yu Qingxue fell silent for a moment. Sometimes, she really wanted to pry open Ning Xi’s head and see what was inside. She was being so obvious, practically throwing hints in her face, but Ning Xi remained completely oblivious.

“You don’t need to worry about my love life. Just hurry up and come with me,” Yu Qingxue said as she turned and walked ahead, not giving Ning Xi another chance to hesitate.

After taking a few steps, Yu Qingxue paused and turned back. Seeing that Ning Xi had followed, she curved her lips into a satisfied smile. “Come on. Don’t delay the shoot.”

Ning Xi didn’t respond. If they didn’t go see Lin Zhuoyan, wouldn’t that be less of a delay?

Women were mysterious, but Omega women were even harder to figure out.

The two of them arrived at Jiang Yuanxin’s lounge. The door was closed for once, likely to keep other crew members from peeking inside.

Lin Zhuoyan’s public image had always been that of a sweet and innocent fairy boy. His appearance matched it perfectly, but in private, his personality was nothing like that. The idea of him being innocent couldn’t be further from the truth.

Yu Qingxue raised her hand and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yuanxin opened it. His eyes lit up when he saw Yu Qingxue. “Qingxue, you’re here. Did someone tell you Zhuoyan came to visit you on set? Come in, come in.”

He stepped aside to let her enter.

Yu Qingxue didn’t move. She tilted her head slightly and said, “Ning Xi came with me.”

Jiang Yuanxin narrowed his eyes in a smile and lowered his voice. “You two really are inseparable. Be careful once you’re inside, though. Don’t let Zhuoyan catch on.”

Yu Qingxue nodded slightly. “Don’t worry.” Lin Zhuoyan needed to see clearly that Ning Xi was hers.

It was Ning Xi’s fault for being so attractive. Every Omega out there could be a potential rival.

Yu Qingxue wasn’t about to give Lin Zhuoyan any chance to fall for Ning Xi. The reason she brought Ning Xi with her was to make her position clear in front of him.

Ning Xi had no idea Yu Qingxue had so many twists and turns in her thoughts. But strangely, the two of them shared the same goal.

Ning Xi also had no interest in letting Lin Zhuoyan fall for her.
