    Role-Play 3.0: Gold Master1 and Canary2

    Pei Xuezhi only needed a glance to know what tricks this person was playing again.

    …Wasn’t she tired of it?

    “Hm?”

    In front of the “child”, the Alpha’s low, pleased voice sounded. As she lowered her gaze, the light seemed to pour down from above her head, making her eyes appear somewhat deep and dark.

    “So many people come and go in the entertainment circle. Now an opportunity is right in front of you, perhaps the only one in your lifetime, Xiao Pei.” She smiled, her words carrying a hidden meaning. “You need to think this through carefully.”

    Pei Xuezhi: “…”

    This time, it wasn’t even “Miss Pei” anymore, directly demoted to “Xiao Pei.” Was she really trying to be her godmother?

    Pei Xuezhi lowered her head.

    She was clever, after all, and observing others’ acting skills in the film crew today had had some effect. At this moment, her expression revealed nothing, only her hands clenched tightly, her body trembling slightly, truly conveying a sense of struggle and humiliation.

    After a moment, she raised her head. There was a fire kindling in the depths of her dark eyes, or perhaps it was the residual heat before a flame was extinguished.

    “Director Fu, I need this role.”

    “Now that’s more like it~”

    Fu Chaoyun leaned back against the sofa, truly embodying the air of a producer coercing and bribing3 a young starlet. But alas, her face was too beautiful, her aura too noble and luxurious, instantly pulling the two back into the channel of a standard idol drama.

    Her fingertips continuously hooked Pei Xuezhi’s chin lightly, teasingly lifting, caressing… Every imperceptible movement was filled with insinuation. Her eyes smiled lightly, seemingly brimming with affection, pitying the beauty’s fragility.

    But if one looked closely, it was all mocking indifference. Everything she did was merely to watch the final struggles of the weak prey trapped in a cage.

    Suddenly, her fingertips lifted.

    Pei Xuezhi’s chin was hooked upwards by her, her long hair scattering, revealing her entire exquisite, perfect face under the light.

    Deep black eyes, rouged lips… even the hair at her temples was clearly visible. Her raised swan-like neck seemed to bear the mark of a rope tightening around prey, unable to break free, entirely arranged into the posture of an offering, presented for the hunter opposite her to pose wantonly in various ways, whether for play or possession, taking whatever she pleased4.

    This posture was slightly awkward. Pei Xuezhi still remembered to say her lines, “Director Fu, then this role…”

    “Shh—”

    Fu Chaoyun stopped her first.

    The Alpha changed her posture. A few fingers supported the Omega’s chin, while her thumb rose to gently caress the other’s lips.

    Simultaneously, she leaned forward.

    Her other hand lifted a strand of Pei Xuezhi’s long hair, stroking it gently, but the hair couldn’t be held. Silky strands slipped through her open fingers, leaving only a faint, clear fragrance.

    The Alpha very pervertedly sniffed it.

    “Miss Pei.” The soft, slow voice sounded again. “Personally, I am also very fond of you, and I very much want to reserve this role for you.”

    Pei Xuezhi looked at her.

    As expected.

    “However—”

    Fu Chaoyun sighed softly, her brow furrowing slightly, appearing quite helpless. “You also know that the competition is currently very fierce. Of course, I’m willing to speak up for Miss Pei in front of the director, but Miss Pei’s competitors have also indicated that they will strongly contend for it.”

    At this point, she paused slightly.

    The pad of her finger caressing the corner of Pei Xuezhi’s lips pressed a little harder, showing a hint of pressure, a hint of urging, and a hint of ambiguity.

    Right now, it was as if this fingertip had transformed into the other’s lips, kissing and playing with her own.

    “I just don’t know the extent of Pei Xuezhi’s determination, or perhaps—”

    When the Alpha looked at the Omega opposite her, her eyes revealed an aggressiveness that showed she was determined to win5. “What price is Miss Pei willing to pay for this role? I’m very curious.”

    At this moment.

    Fu Chaoyun seemed to have truly become a high and mighty capitalist6 in the entertainment circle, holding the power of life and death7, dangling the canary, making it struggle and flutter constantly. But no matter how high or far that bird flew, it never escaped the palm of her hand.

    Those amber eyes were still clear and bright, yet they were also stained with a touch of mockery, watching the filth below so cleanly, making that filth feel even more unbearable and ashamed of its own perceived inferiority8.

    Pei Xuezhi opened her mouth: “My everyth— Mmph!”

    The rest of the sentence turned into a soft grunt because, at some unknown point, Fu Chaoyun’s hand caressing her lips had already slid down the elegant line of her neck, parting the thick hair, and landed on the gland at the nape of her neck.

    The Alpha’s lips pressed close, raising an eyebrow teasingly, “Does ‘everything’ include this too?”

    She deliberately emphasized, “Miss Pei, excuse me, is this place also acceptable? Can I enjoy this as well?”

    Pei Xuezhi seemed slightly lost in thought, yet also seemed to be struggling.

    Fu Chaoyun’s voice sounded again.

    “Apologies.” This time, her hand suddenly released. “I forgot Miss Pei seems to have a lover. Oh dear, how could I do such an unchaste thing? My apologies.”

    As Fu Chaoyun spoke, the danger surrounding Pei Xuezhi instantly vanished. She even straightened the other’s clothes, like a considerate and elegant gentleman.

    “It’s truly regrettable to lose this opportunity for collaboration, but there’s nothing to be done… Let me see Miss Pei out.”

    Just as she was about to rise to make the gesture of “seeing out,” the next second, Pei Xuezhi grabbed her arm.

    The free bird that soared and sang in the sky had finally landed, throwing herself into the net9 and willingly falling into the cage she had set.

    “Y-You… can…” the Omega managed to say, word by word, with difficulty.

    Now that she had fallen within her grasp, the Alpha wasn’t eager to devour her yet. Instead, she leisurely admired the Omega’s final struggles.

    A moment later.

    She hooked a strand of the Omega’s long hair, leaning closer to sniff it delicately, like a devil’s temptation, “Does it matter even if I overwrite that person’s mark?”

    Pei Xuezhi was still struggling, finally making a decision.

    “You can.”

    Perhaps because her moral baseline had already collapsed once, saying the same words again came much more smoothly, without stuttering. But there was still a shred of shame remaining; she lowly fought for that last bit of dignity.

    “G-Go… to the room…” Agreeing to this kind of transaction, letting herself fall into this dirty circle10, the Omega was ashamed, her voice tinged with a sobbing tone. “Please…”

    So moving.

    Whether the canary sang or cried, its voice was extremely beautiful, making one unable to resist wanting to hear more.

    “What?”

    The Alpha clearly heard but pretended not to, even clicking her tongue, “I roughly understand Miss Pei’s sincerity now.”

    As she spoke, she went to lift Pei Xuezhi’s face, and indeed saw a face that wasn’t very willing. The Omega’s eyes were deep black, her lips bitten tightly, first turning pale white, then becoming incredibly vibrant red.

    In an instant.

    The Alpha, most skilled at playing with people’s hearts and forcing others, seemed to lose interest. She pinched that face and turned it aside.

    “Forget it.” Her voice suddenly turned cold. She pulled out a tissue from the side, meticulously wiped the fingertips that had just touched the other person, then casually tossed the balled-up tissue aside, as if discarding unwanted trash.

    “So unwillingly, it’s no fun to play. If I’m not mistaken, it’s Miss Pei who’s asking something of me now, right? This isn’t the film set. Who are you putting on this act of a chaste and fierce Omega for?”

    “Tsk—”

    The Alpha leaned back completely, instantly losing all interest, her beautiful yet wicked eyes closing, like a noble sculpture.

    “Get out,” she ordered sharply.

    Pei Xuezhi had never endured such humiliation. Her fingertips trembled, but this role was too important to her. Even enduring the degradation of having her dignity trampled, she couldn’t help but ask.

    “Then, my role…”

    The Alpha leaning on the sofa suddenly opened her eyes and looked up. “Naturally, it’s gone.” She curled her lip, smiling with undisguised malice. “Miss Pei couldn’t possibly think that just by performing your clumsy acting in front of me, you could get resources, could you?”

    All color drained from the Omega’s face, suddenly revealing panic and fear. Ultimately, for the sake of so-called benefits, she wouldn’t hesitate to cast aside her self-respect to beg!

    Broken, wasn’t she~

    She reached for the Alpha’s hand, “Director Fu, please give me another chance. I can do it. Let’s go to the room, I can let you do whatever you want…”

    “Too late.”

    Fu Chaoyun shook off her hand, leisurely watching the other struggle in the abyss, saying softly yet cruelly, “Miss Pei isn’t the only one competing for this role. At least for now, I haven’t seen anything where Miss Pei surpasses the others.”

    Pei Xuezhi’s movements suddenly froze. “You mean, others have also come to… beg you like this?”

    “Of course. Miss Xu, Miss Zhou, Miss Tang… who are competing in the same group as you, they came long ago.”

    The Alpha didn’t mind at all, brazenly proclaiming her glorious achievements, her eyes lifting, “Whoever they are, they were all much more sincere than Miss Pei.”

    “Miss Tang…?”

    Pei Xuezhi kept repeating this name.

    !

    Fu Chaoyun thought, Oh no. For the sake of dramatic tension, she had randomly added a few competing supporting roles, choosing common surnames.

    But “Miss Tang”…

    She, or rather, the Scum Alpha, did indeed have an ex-girlfriend named Tang Ying! One that Pei Xuezhi herself had even met!!

    Seeing Pei Xuezhi’s gaze grow deeper and thicker, looking like she was about to break character and settle accounts, Fu Chaoyun’s mind raced frantically to backtrack, and then—

    Pei Xuezhi, who had been acting chaste and fierce, suddenly pressed down on her. She seemed to have completely thrown caution to the wind, now sitting sideways directly on her lap. Soon, the one whose chin was being held was Fu Chaoyun.

    A kiss carrying the sweet scent of Omega pheromones pressed down, instantly sealing off all of Fu Chaoyun’s breath and even her thoughts. The capitalist tycoon was being forcibly kissed!!

    Fu Chaoyun could only see Pei Xuezhi’s pair of extremely deep pupils. A pain on her lips—oh, she’d been bitten again.

    Punishingly.

    A moment later.

    Pei Xuezhi lifted her head slightly, giving them both space to breathe. She continued speaking lines fitting the starlet persona.

    “Please give me another chance. I will properly prove to you… that your current choice is not wrong.”

    At the same time, her hand rested on Fu Chaoyun’s chest, tracing patterns, less like insinuation or teasing, and more like… a threat.

    The person involved, Fu Chaoyun, slowly made a swallowing motion.

    —How could I dare not give it to her now!

    Of course, in this situation, she didn’t forget her own persona. She still went to pinch Pei Xuezhi’s slender waist, taking advantage of this warm, soft jade, pulling her more into her embrace.

    Then, she spoke her lines.

    “Then we’ll have to see what tricks Miss Pei still has up her sleeve, and how she compares to the others…”

    Before the last word “others” could be spoken, Pei Xuezhi lowered her head again, as if to prove her worth, fiercely covering the Alpha’s lips once more.

    Dancing together, lingering, escalating…

    The little goldfish swayed its tail.

    Nao Nao let out a “mew.”

    Even the System couldn’t watch anymore: 【Still thinking about your damn role-playing at a time like this? Truly ‘to die beneath peony flowers, even as a ghost, is romantic11‘!】

    As a final response to it, this pair of ‘parents’ used their last shred of decency to change locations, even closing the bedroom door.

    System: 【…%¥#@*&!】


    Rustle, rustle.

    Before the large floor-to-ceiling window, the curtains were half-drawn, swaying slightly.

    Fu Chaoyun lay entirely on the bed, her wavy hair spread across the navy blue, almost black, bedsheets. As she breathed softly, a faint blush touched her fair cheeks.

    Her eyes were still clear and dazzling… gazing at Pei Xuezhi, who was currently straddling her waist.

    At this moment.

    Both were fully clothed, the only point of contact being that one area; everything else was proper. Fu Chaoyun didn’t reach out, nor did she support the Omega’s slender waist.

    Clearly in a restrained posture, she nonetheless smiled faintly. Only a floor lamp by the bed was lit in the room, the light dim, but when she smiled, radiance flowed, bright as starlight, instantly illuminating everything within the room.

    “Well then, Miss Pei, let’s begin.”

    —Let her see just how “capable” she was.


    The author has something to say:
