Honest Beta gets scammed

He Xiangchen put down the script and said calmly.

"You're too nervous. Don't overthink it. I'm not a professional, so I won't say anything. Just relax and do whatever you want."

Li Qing nodded: "Okay, let's do it again."

This time, Li Qing tried his best to clear his mind, and after several repetitions, he finally got the hang of it.

Then comes the rest of the scene.

Shadow Six temporarily recuperates at the female lead's house, gradually falling in love with her. However, the female lead and the male lead are in love, and seeing how happy the female lead is, he knows his own limitations. After recovering, he finds an excuse to leave and returns to the villain's side.

He subsequently provided the female lead with information on multiple occasions, and both the female and male leads learned of his true identity. He then continued to travel between the two sides as a spy.

In the final scene with the female lead.

Shadow Six had already guessed that his betrayal might have been exposed. He would return to the villain's side that night to report back, a journey fraught with peril. Before leaving, he saw the female lead one last time.

"Ah Liu, you'll be free once your master's affairs are settled."

"Then you can go wherever you want, see the flowers in the south, the snow in the north, and never have to live this life of fighting and killing again. Besides, you're not getting any younger, it's time to find a wife!"

"Um……"

"Shadow Six" stood opposite him and responded softly. He knew that he did not have that kind of future.

Raising his head to look at the person before him, "Shadow Six" swallowed hard, as if summoning all his courage, and whispered, "I..."

He could only utter one word before he could no longer speak.

Those words lingering in his heart, those humble feelings of love, were ultimately swallowed back by him.

"What's wrong?"

"Shadow Six" looked at her and suddenly smiled.

The smile was faint and incredibly gentle. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

As the moon rose high in the sky, the female lead was about to leave. "Shadow Six" watched her figure disappear, then turned and left without ever looking back.

Li Qing let out a breath, pulling himself out of the role. He rubbed his slightly sore eyes, looked up at He Xiangchen, and asked uncertainly, "How was it? Was my performance alright?"

He Xiangchen did not answer immediately. He looked at Li Qing quietly, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions.

Just now, when Li Qing uttered the word "I..." and met the deep affection in those eyes, He Xiangchen almost blurted out, "What about me?"

Fortunately, he reacted in time.

He shifted his gaze and looked back at the open script, his tone revealing no emotion.

"I think you acted very well, you're very talented. If you practice your lines a little more, you'll definitely be fine."

"Really!" Li Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hmm, the next Best Actor Qu."

Li Qing blushed and glanced at He Xiangchen, not expecting He Xiangchen to suddenly say such comforting words.

He Xiangchen ignored Li Qing's gaze, staring intently at the script, his eyes fixed on the scenes involving Ying Liu and the female lead.

He enjoyed acting it out, but now, looking back, He Xiangchen finds every single line of the script between Ying Liu and the female lead incredibly irritating.

Wasn't this supposed to be a male-centric drama? Why are they giving the supporting characters so many messy romantic subplots?!

However, in reality, apart from the scenes where Shadow Six is ​​rescued by the female lead and their final parting, the male lead is almost always present when the character interacts with the female lead, and they barely exchange a few words.

Even those few words were enough to annoy He Xiangchen.

The two then went through the scenes of the male lead and the villain in the movie "Six" several more times. Li Qing's performance became more and more natural, and he was quite satisfied with the results.

After everything was over, Li Qing glanced at the time and realized that it was already 2 a.m.

"My God, it's so late!" Li Qing exclaimed in surprise, quickly urging He Xiangchen, "Stop doing that, go to sleep!"

The two took a shower one after the other. He Xiangchen had already showered when he arrived, but he still smelled of crayfish, so he took another shower.

When He Xiangchen came out of the bathroom, Li Qing had already changed into her pajamas and was lying on the bed looking at her phone.

The contestants on stage were still wearing white T-shirts and shorts.

Because she had just taken a shower, a small patch of fabric on Li Qing's back was damp, clinging to her skin and revealing glimpses of her body's curves. Her two long legs were bare, swaying back and forth on the bed.

He Xiangchen sneered inwardly.

He had made full mental preparations.

This country bumpkin is a Beta with no sense of boundaries. He doesn't understand what seduction or boundaries are. If I were to get annoyed by his unconscious little actions like last time, I would be too pathetic.

He calmly walked to the bedside, lifted the covers, and lay down.

Seeing him lie down, Li Qing put down her phone, yawned, and casually turned off the bedside lamp.

Goodnight.

"Okay, goodnight."

The room instantly fell into darkness and silence.

He Xiangchen lay on the bed in the darkness. He slowly turned to his side and looked at the figure with his back to him, without saying a word.

When everything around me quieted down and there was nothing left to distract me, the dull pain in my mind became increasingly clear.

He Xiangchen was already able to remain calm in this level of pain, but it was still somewhat difficult to fall asleep with this feeling.

He usually sleeps very little, and when he really needs to sleep, he has to rely on sleeping pills. But today he didn't bring any pills with him, so he decided to think of something else to get through the long night.

Just as his thoughts were drifting, Li Qing suddenly moved.

After a rustling sound of the sheets rubbing together, Li Qing rolled over and, like a round pillow, rolled perfectly into He Xiangchen's arms, who was lying on his side watching him.

A warm body, soft hair, and the scent of mint instantly enveloped He Xiangchen.

He Xiangchen's thoughts froze instantly.

The prey willingly came into his arms.

Enigma's hunting instincts allow his body to react before he even thinks.

The hand that Li Qing was using as a pillow gripped the back of Li Qing's neck, right there where the gland was.

The posterior cervical glands are a useless organ for Betas. They have atrophied, can no longer release pheromones, and cannot be marked. They are merely decorative. Perhaps in the distant future, this organ will be completely evolved away and disappear forever.

But for the current Beta, this remains a delicate area.

Although it lacks the functions of Alpha and Omega glands, it retains a sensitivity that is nearly identical to them.

The moment the back of Li Qing's neck was firmly grasped, all her small movements, which had been unconsciously adjusting her sleeping position in her sleep, immediately stopped, and she froze.
