Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha of a Cold Movie Queen - Chapter 101 EXTRA 1

When the system told Qi Siyu that her energy had finally accumulated enough, she was still a little dazed.

All the emotions she had deliberately buried surged back to the surface at once. Her nose stung, and her eyes filled with tears.

After spending so much time together, the clever Gu Qing had long seen through the little tricks of the system.

The worries she and the system once had never came true—Gu Qing calmly accepted the fact that she was the heroine of a novel.

In fact, she only worked harder, determined to help the woman she loved return to the real world—back to her parents and friends.

If it wasn’t for Qi Siyu, if it wasn’t for all those sweet, ordinary years together, Gu Qing knew she could never have accepted everything so peacefully back when she’d just woken from her car accident.

Past hardships had already been reframed in her mind as the challenges that led her to Qi Siyu. What she cared about now was only the present and the future.

After receiving the system’s message, Qi Siyu ran to find Gu Qing, who was jogging on the treadmill in the gym.

Her next role was a special forces soldier, so she needed to build some muscle.

“Gu Qing, Gu Qing! The energy’s full!” Qi Siyu exclaimed, dancing with excitement.

“When do we leave?” Gu Qing stopped the treadmill and asked mildly, as though they were just going on a short trip.

[Within three months, anytime you want! After that, the world transformation will be complete, and you won’t be able to leave at all.]

The system’s voice echoed in both of their minds.

“All right. I’ll make the arrangements,” Gu Qing nodded.

There was no trace of reluctance—no banquet lasts forever. She had simply chosen the one she loved most.

Besides, she had managed to wrangle a cross-world phone from the system, so she could video call friends and family here a few times each year.

Qi Siyu assumed they’d still have at least two months together before leaving.

But that very night, Gu Qing told her, “Everything’s ready. Let’s go.”

Qi Siyu: “…”

Seeing her confusion, Gu Qing explained, “I knew you were homesick. Ever since I learned the truth, I’ve been ready at any moment.”

Qi Siyu’s nose prickled again. This time, the tears fell freely. “Wuuu… Gu Qing, you’re too good to me.”

[Then let’s get going!] the system said cheerfully, almost like it was going on vacation.

Finishing their mission ahead of schedule meant it not only got its salary, but also a generous bonus and paid leave.

Until the next mission came, it would still be their system—and being Gu Qing’s system was truly the ultimate easy win.

________________________________________

When Gu Qing regained consciousness, her whole body ached.

She seemed to be lying down—the surface beneath her was soft, like a bed.

[Ah, you’re finally awake. We ran into a temporal storm on the way. Your body took some damage, and we almost didn’t have enough energy left to repair it.]

To bring her into Qi Siyu’s world, the system couldn’t simply conjure a new person—it had to find someone who had just died and let Gu Qing replace her, taking over her identity.

[This body was specially chosen for you by headquarters—no parents, no friends, no social ties… but lots of money. She inherited a sizable fortune. Not quite as rich as before, but still in the wealthy bracket.]

[Where’s Qi Siyu?] Gu Qing asked without opening her eyes, letting herself adjust to her new body.

[Well… um…] The system hesitated.

[Just say it.] Her tone was cool.

[It’s just… she’s been resurrected, but when she woke up, she’d lost her memory.] The system’s voice grew guilty. [But it’s fine! There’s a memory-recovery potion in the prize pool—you just have to win it in the lottery!]

[Continue.]

Sigh… being with Gu Qing was an easy win, but she was not easy to fool.

[The thing is… all our remaining energy went into repairing your body. We don’t have any lottery chances left.]

[But it’s okay! You two can still, um, “interact” to generate energy—it’s just less than before, since you’re no longer the novel’s heroine. You’re just… an ordinary person now.]

By the system’s estimate, they could gather enough energy for the draw in six months.

[Fine.] Gu Qing didn’t ask further. [Give me my predecessor’s full schedule for the past three months.]

The system sighed in relief and hurried to pull the data.

[Oh, and—this world only has two genders. Because you’re a transmigrator, you’re still an Omega. Qi Siyu, after resurrection, is just an ordinary human, so you’ll need to win an Alpha-conversion item to keep her as an Alpha.]

Gu Qing only responded with a quiet “Mm.” Once the information was ready, she got up to read it.

They weren’t in the same city. With nothing pressing to handle here, Gu Qing quickly took a high-speed train to where Qi Siyu lived.

The two worlds weren’t drastically different, though technology here lagged by several decades.

“Wow, you’re gorgeous—are you a celebrity? Can I get your autograph?”

Having not worn a mask, Gu Qing was approached by a young girl as soon as she sat down.

“I’m not a celebrity. Just an actress without any works to her name yet. Sure.” Gu Qing’s voice was calm.

In this new world, back to being twenty-six—the same age as when the novel began—she still chose to be an actress.

“Hahaha, you’re definitely going to be famous,” the girl laughed, handing her a notebook. “Are you going for work?”

“Sort of. Mainly, I’m going to find the person I love.” Gu Qing signed her name.

“Then I hope you succeed in both career and love,” the girl said brightly, undeterred by Gu Qing’s coolness, chattering about the current entertainment industry.

She turned out to be a gossip magazine editor.

They got off at the same stop, and Gu Qing exchanged contact info with her.

Outside the station, Gu Qing took out her phone and snapped a picture of the sky—something to show Qi Siyu later.

Whenever she missed home, Qi Siyu would tell her all about her family and friends. Though she’d never met them, Gu Qing felt intimately familiar with this world.

Qi Siyu’s family lived in Xingfu (Happiness) Community, though she had moved out to live alone at Tianhu Garden.

Gu Qing hailed a cab to Tianhu Garden, where the real estate agent she had arranged to meet was already waiting.

“Hello, Ms. Gu—you can just call me Xiao Fang. Let’s go check the place now,” the agent greeted warmly, even offering her a bottle of water.

“Thanks. Let’s go,” Gu Qing replied.

Tianhu Garden apartments were two units per floor. Gu Qing wanted to be Qi Siyu’s next-door neighbor, but that unit belonged to one of her friends. She settled for the next closest—an apartment directly below on the 28th floor.

“This one’s practically new,” Xiao Fang explained as she opened the windows. “The owner moved abroad right after renovating and never lived here—not even for a day.”

The décor had a fresh, natural feel—lots of greenery and light colors.

Gu Qing took one look and said, “Can we sign and transfer the property today?”

They hadn’t been inside three minutes, and the agent was still in mid-pitch when Gu Qing made her decision.

Xiao Fang was briefly stunned, then overjoyed. “Of course! But… don’t you want to see a few more? It’s over ten million yuan—we should be careful.”

“No need.” Gu Qing shook her head.

Paying in full, she became Qi Siyu’s neighbor.

By the time the paperwork was done, night had fallen. Alone in the unfamiliar apartment, she sat with her brand-new phone, scrolling Weibo.

The top headline: Qi Siyu Hospitalized.

Thanks to the system’s intervention, Qi Siyu’s sudden death was downgraded to a mere fainting spell. The next day, her friend, who had slept over, found her and rushed her to the hospital.

Naturally, the paparazzi wouldn’t let a story like this slip by. It didn’t take long before they had the news edited and sent out.

Qi Siyu woke up in the hospital.

She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the glaringly white ceiling, the smell of disinfectant heavy in her nose.

“Want an apple?” Shi Ying, her friend, dug through the fruit basket, finally fishing out the roundest, reddest one and tossing it lightly in her hand.

“No.” Qi Siyu refused, dazed.

“Then what do you want to eat? It’s already three in the afternoon. You’ve neither eaten nor drunk anything since waking up. The tests didn’t find a single problem with you—don’t end up starving yourself.” Shi Ying was starting to think Qi Siyu had lost a few screws, and was already considering calling in some metaphysical backup.

“Red wine chocolate biscuit sticks.” The words slipped right out of Qi Siyu’s mouth.

“Huh?” Shi Ying was stunned, but immediately placed an order. “You’re that obsessed?”

It wasn’t an exaggeration—normally she’d buy them by the case, snacking on them instead of meals, and always sticking to the exact same flavor. Shi Ying would never understand it.

Even Qi Siyu herself was bewildered after speaking. She didn’t know why those biscuit sticks had suddenly come to mind. “Yingzi… I feel like there’s this huge hole in my soul. My head’s all fuzzy, like I’ve forgotten a lot of things.”

Shi Ying: “Like the fact that I owe you 200,000 yuan?”

Qi Siyu rolled her eyes. “It’s 205,000.”

Shi Ying: “And that figurine I borrowed from you?”

“Click your tongue. You’d better get that fixed soon, or don’t blame me if my hands slip and your precious plants suffer.” Qi Siyu snorted.

Shi Ying questioned her all the way back to primary school, until her mouth was dry, but Qi Siyu answered every single thing without a hitch. Finally, Shi Ying collapsed in frustration and reached out to ruffle her friend’s hair. “Are you messing with me? You remember better than anyone!”

“Shoo, keep your hands to yourself.” Qi Siyu smacked her hand away. “Still… my heart feels so empty.”

She sighed.

Just then, the biscuit sticks arrived. Shi Ying went to get them for her.

The moment Qi Siyu tore one open and took a bite, she frowned. “Did you get me a knockoff? It doesn’t taste as good as before.”

She chewed and chewed, but something seemed missing.

Shi Ying resisted the urge to smack her. How had Qi Siyu become even more insufferable overnight?

That morning, the hospital had run a full-body checkup on her. The doctors concluded she was healthier than most health fanatics and labeled her fainting as simply “oversleeping.” By afternoon, she was discharged.

She and Shi Ying took a cab home, but since taxis weren’t allowed into the community, they walked in.

Gu Qing was standing in the shade holding a garbage bag. Spotting Qi Siyu from afar, she walked over to throw it away.

As fate would have it, they ended up walking into the apartment building together.

“Oh? Miss, are you new here? You’re so pretty—I’ve never seen you before,” Shi Ying said warmly. She prided herself on knowing all the neighbors.

“Yes, I just bought 2802,” Gu Qing replied casually, keeping her expression neutral so as not to let her excitement show.

Qi Siyu stared blankly at her. “You live right below me? Sorry if this is sudden, but… you look really familiar. Have we met before?”

Shi Ying nudged her with an elbow. “If you’re gonna flirt, just do it openly. This is such a cliché pickup line, haha. Don’t mind her, she’s a bit slow.”

Gu Qing shook her head. “I don’t know. But… you do feel familiar.”

Shi Ying’s smile froze, and she silently retreated to the corner of the elevator. Turns out she was the clown.

Qi Siyu took the initiative to exchange WeChat with Gu Qing.

When the elevator stopped on the twenty-eighth floor, Qi Siyu watched her leave. Even after the doors closed, she still hadn’t snapped out of it.

“Tsk.” Shi Ying dragged her out. “Since when are you a perv? No matter how pretty she is, you can’t just stare like that.”

“You’re the perv. I just… really feel like I’ve met her before. She’s so familiar.” Qi Siyu swatted her hand away.

But it was just a feeling—no trace of actual memory. So, she tucked it away for now.

Back home, she went back to work, absentmindedly chewing on biscuit sticks while wondering why they didn’t taste right.

The next morning, she went for a run and found Gu Qing already on the familiar track.

“Morning,” Qi Siyu greeted her.

“Mm. Good morning.”

Qi Siyu didn’t know how long she’d been running, but her voice carried a breathless, slightly sultry lilt, the kind that hooked right into her chest.

A light sheen of sweat glistened on Gu Qing’s bare skin. The early summer sun wrapped her fair neck in a soft, golden glow.

From just behind her, Qi Siyu caught sight of the small bump at the back of her neck. She didn’t know anything about ABO settings, but in that moment, she just thought it looked… beautiful. Tempting.

Her canine teeth itched—a restless, primal urge bubbling up.

Gu Qing slowed her pace until they were side by side.

Snapping out of it, Qi Siyu scolded herself for letting her mind wander and smiled. “Do you run every day? We could go together. I know the area well.”

“Mm.” Gu Qing gave a noncommittal reply, but Qi Siyu eagerly set a time with her.

Then Gu Qing stopped. “I’m done for today.”

She paused, then added, “See you tomorrow.”

“Ah—see you tomorrow.” Qi Siyu didn’t realize how much disappointment seeped into her tone.

Only after Gu Qing had disappeared from sight did she reluctantly turn back to her run.

She didn’t understand why she was acting like this. It was… not normal.

So she decided she needed to spend more time with Gu Qing—just in case it wasn’t some shady trick.

Heh, not to brag, but she had wealth, talent, and charm. She was a catch.

[Host’s eyes are practically glued to you. If you invited her to bed right now, she might not even say no.] The system was full of praise. Not surprising—Gu Qing was clearly a pro at this.

[You don’t understand her.] Gu Qing’s tone was calm.

Qi Siyu was a reserved, cautious person. Even without her memories, her instinct to love Gu Qing wouldn’t change.

And honestly, starting over… sounded kind of fun.
