The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 6

“An Ruo hasn’t differentiated yet?” Gu Jingyun asked casually. Qu Anruo hadn’t expected Gu Jingyun to ask this; she nodded, feeling a little flustered.

Before transmigrating into the book, she was a normal person, without pheromones, rut periods, or heat periods. Thinking that she would differentiate into an Alpha in the future, and how Alphas become aggressive during their rut periods, Qu Anruo couldn’t accept her body being out of her control. If she had a choice, she would rather remain as she was now.

【Then, Host, that thought is impossible.】 666 heard Qu Anruo’s inner voice and shook its head regretfully.

Hearing 666’s certainty, Qu Anruo knew her impractical wish had no chance of being fulfilled. In any case, even if she turned into an Alpha, she wouldn’t become the scum Alpha from the original story. That way, she could avoid death.

Thinking of this, Qu Anruo unconsciously smiled.

Gu Jingyun found it strange that Qu Anruo smiled after saying she hadn’t differentiated yet. For a powerful family like the Qu family, shouldn’t they care deeply about what their children differentiate into? Why did the Qu family seem so unconcerned? But then again, there were many inconveniences after differentiation, which Gu Jingyun had already experienced. Being an ordinary person was actually quite nice.

Her younger sister, Gu Jinyi, also hadn’t differentiated yet. Perhaps she could let the two of them talk about it later, Gu Jingyun thought.

The two walked along the street for a while when a slight noise suddenly reached their ears from up ahead.

Qu Anruo wanted to go forward and see, but Gu Jingyun held her back. “Don’t go…” Gu Jingyun’s voice was strained, and she gripped Qu Anruo’s shirt hem tightly.

Qu Anruo noticed Gu Jingyun’s distressed face and helped support the somewhat weak Gu Jingyun.

【Host! An Alpha up ahead has entered a rut period and caused a disturbance! Take the female lead away quickly!】 666 urged her anxiously.

Hearing 666, Qu Anruo dared not delay and quickly helped Gu Jingyun leave.

Qu Anruo was half a head shorter than Gu Jingyun, and Gu Jingyun’s entire body was practically leaning on Qu Anruo. The hot breath on Qu Anruo’s neck caused a jolt, and she nearly pushed Gu Jingyun away.

“Sister, don’t mess around.” Qu Anruo did her best to ignore the ticklish sensation on the back of her neck, but then, Gu Jingyun’s soft tongue suddenly licked her.

“Sweet…” Gu Jingyun said near Qu Anruo’s ear, her eyes slightly closed.

Gu Jingyun was extremely thirsty. Vaguely, she saw a clear mountain spring before her. She scooped up a handful and drank it. She savored the taste of the spring water it was sweet.

666, unable to watch, tactfully disappeared.

Qu Anruo stood there dumbfounded. It wasn’t that she couldn’t move, but her legs had gone soft after Gu Jingyun licked the back of her neck. She held Gu Jingyun up to prevent her from falling. The two made a difficult journey back home.

By this time, Qu Hanwen and Zhao Lan’an had already gone to sleep. Qu Anruo carefully went upstairs after entering the house, making no sound. Worried about leaving Gu Jingyun alone in her current state, she brought her into her own room and placed her back on the bed.

Qu Anruo, exhausted, sat on the floor, supporting herself with her hands as she gasped for breath. She touched the back of her neck it was slightly damp. Realizing what it was, Qu Anruo blushed and wiped it with a tissue.

After dealing with her neck, Qu Anruo looked at Gu Jingyun on the bed, whose eyes were tightly closed and whose face was flushed. Even with messy hair and disheveled clothes, Gu Jingyun’s unique beauty was undiminished; her particular kind of beauty, in fact, became even more intense.

Qu Anruo rested for a while before getting up and entering the bathroom to first wash off the dust from her own body. When she came out, she took a towel and went to Gu Jingyun’s side to wipe the skin exposed outside her clothes.

Qu Anruo felt very tired after returning home and attributed it to bringing Gu Jingyun home by herself just now. Without thinking too much, she tucked Gu Jingyun in and then fell asleep on the small sofa nearby.

She slept very restlessly, seemingly dreaming of the original host. No, it was the original host after differentiation. That “Qu Anruo” was approaching Gu Jingyun step by step, trying to mark her, but was interrupted by the Male Lead who arrived. When the Male Lead tried to save the Female Lead, the strange part appeared. That “Qu Anruo” actually personally let go of the Female Lead, slipped something to the Female Lead before she left, and then disappeared from the rooftop. The biting wind whipped across Qu Anruo’s face, and she instantly plunged into darkness.

Qu Anruo woke up with a start, drenched in cold sweat. Although there was no pain, it felt as if she had jumped herself.

Her back was soaked in cold sweat, and Qu Anruo decided to wash up. Gu Jingyun on the bed hadn’t woken up yet. Qu Anruo stretched her muscles, got up from the sofa, and went to Gu Jingyun’s side.

Gu Jingyun’s symptoms had improved a lot, and the flush on her face had faded. She should be almost recovered, Qu Anruo thought.

【Are you two done?】 666, which had given them enough privacy, came out when it saw it was morning.

【666! What are you saying!】 Qu Anruo covered her red face and ran out of the room.

Qu Hanwen was sitting on the sofa, watching the movements in their room closely. Suddenly, Qu Anruo ran out, blushing. A moment later, he saw Gu Jingyun walk out of Qu Anruo’s room with a composed expression.

Qu Hanwen sat on the sofa, stunned. His precious daughter had been “arched” by the cabbage just like that? (T/N: Slang: his daughter was taken away by the other person).

When Qu Anruo turned around, Qu Hanwen sharply noticed a red mark on the back of Qu Anruo’s neck. The old father covered his face and wept his precious daughter had indeed been “arched” by the cabbage.

Feeling uncomfortable from being stared at, Qu Anruo touched the back of her neck. She ran into the room, checked the mirror, and pulled down her collar. Well, there were small red marks all over the back of her neck.

【Host, that’s inappropriate for minors.】 666 said, covering half its eyes as it looked at Qu Anruo.

【What’s inappropriate for minors!】 Qu Anruo’s face flushed instantly as she retorted, hearing 666’s words.

【Tsk tsk tsk.】 666 teased.

Qu Anruo’s heart thumped rapidly as she touched the red marks on the back of her neck. She pulled up her collar, trying to cover the red marks as much as possible.

Downstairs, Qu Hanwen was still immersed in grief. When Zhao Lan’an came downstairs, she saw Qu Hanwen sitting there dejectedly.

After making sure the red marks were covered, Qu Anruo finally breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs to Gu Jingyun’s side.

Gu Jingyun had some memory of last night, but she had specifically forgotten how she had licked the back of Qu Anruo’s neck. Fortunately, she always wore an inhibitor patch, and the commotion caused by the Alpha last night hadn’t affected her too much. Otherwise, she might have hurt Qu Anruo unconsciously.

When Qu Anruo approached Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun suddenly smelled a pleasant sweetness from somewhere. That sweetness kept attracting her, and she subconsciously wanted to bite the source of the sweet smell.

“What’s wrong, Sister?” Qu Anruo’s voice brought the dazed Gu Jingyun back. “Nothing,” Gu Jingyun shook her head. She probably needed to go home quickly.

“An Ruo, I have things to do, so I’m heading back now.” Gu Jingyun said, grabbed her bag, and rushed to leave. Qu Anruo watched the anxious Gu Jingyun and wanted to send a driver to take her, but Gu Jingyun refused.

Gu Jingyun left the Qu house, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and went home. Stumbling, she opened the door, rummaged through a drawer, found a bottle of medicine, shook out a pill with trembling hands, and swallowed it.

Afterward, she sat on the floor, leaning against the cabinet, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Although she was an S-class Alpha, she had to take medicine constantly due to a physical defect and was extremely susceptible to pheromones. No one knew about this besides her late parents, not even her sister, Gu Jinyi.

There was currently no known cure for this condition, and including her, only three cases had ever appeared. While it wasn’t life-threatening, it significantly impacted her daily life.

It was fine if she didn’t come into contact with Alphas in rut, but if she did, the condition would worsen. Her inhibitor patch was specially made by the hospital and could block Alpha pheromones to the greatest extent possible.

【Why is Sister in such a hurry?】 Qu Anruo asked 666 curiously.

【I don’t know either.】 666 genuinely didn’t know. It always felt like the plot it transmitted to Qu Anruo was missing something, but when it tried to recall it, it couldn’t remember. 666 simply thought it was an irrelevant detail and didn’t mention it to Qu Anruo.

Seeing Zhao Lan’an come downstairs, Qu Anruo went over to her, hugged her arm, and acted spoiled. Zhao Lan’an always had a pleasant fragrance around her, which reminded Qu Anruo of her deceased mother. Qu Anruo always felt particularly safe when she was near Zhao Lan’an. This might be a mother’s scent.

【No, Host. This is the scent of pheromones.】 666’s words shattered the warm scene between mother and daughter.

Upon hearing this, Qu Anruo felt like she wanted to beat 666 out of the system space.

Zhao Lan’an smiled, stroking her daughter’s head as she was being spoiled: “Ruoruo, are you going to the company later?”

“Mhm.” Qu Anruo nodded.

“Ruoruo, don’t be like your dad, sometimes so busy he doesn’t even come home.” Zhao Lan’an’s words stabbed Qu Hanwen again.

Qu Anruo quickly said she wouldn’t be like Qu Hanwen, and Zhao Lan’an nodded contentedly. Qu Hanwen felt like he couldn’t stay in this house for another day his wife didn’t love him, and his daughter didn’t adore him.

After eating, Qu Anruo drove to the company herself. There wasn’t much for her to do at the company, so she was very bored. She went downstairs and watched the newly signed artists train through the glass wall.

“CEO Qu is here!” An artist exclaimed when she saw Qu Anruo, as if seeing walking money.

Qu Anruo was pulled into the room by several artists and surrounded. Before Qu Anruo could react, they pressed her into a chair to watch them train.

“CEO Qu, you can check on their training progress,” the instructor said, smiling as he looked at the young people.

Qu Anruo sat straight in the chair, seriously watching the training of the few people. To Qu Anruo, an outsider, it seemed quite good.

【The Female Lead is here!】 The voice of 666 suddenly rang in her mind.

Qu Anruo jumped up from the chair the moment she heard 666’s voice.

Gu Jingyun was startled when she just entered the room by Qu Anruo. She looked at the young girls surrounding Qu Anruo. Oh, An Ruo likes young people, Gu Jingyun thought.
