Fake Alpha Daughter's Self-Help Notes - Chapter 39

Gu Qingqing stood there in a daze.

Earlier, Gu Hupo had asked her to call Gu Fei for dinner. Since Gu Fei hadn’t locked the door, she didn’t think much and just walked in. She didn’t expect to see Gu Fei sprawled lazily on the desk, one hand pressing the back of her neck while the other swiped across the phone screen.

Gu Qingqing immediately realized at a glance, on the phone screen, an Alpha and an Omega were…

Connecting it with Gu Fei’s current posture, Gu Qingqing’s expression instantly became subtle, and her voice dropped, “I…didn’t see anything. You…continue?”

Gu Qingqing faced Gu Fei, took small steps back, and walked out of the room, even considerately closing the door for her.

Gu Fei：“……？”

She turned her head in a daze, only to see the discordant picture on her phone.

“No…! Gu Qingqing, you’re mis—mis—misunderstanding, I didn’t…aahh!” As soon as Gu Fei shouted, her tone became melodious, almost involuntarily, due to how pleasurable it felt to massage her glands.

Recalling Gu Qingqing’s frightened expression just now, Gu Fei lost all strength and fell limply onto the table, sobbing.

Gu Fei weakly turned off the phone screen and lay on the desk for a while. Once the glands had mostly finished secreting pheromones, she sluggishly got up and turned on the ventilation system.

The pheromones in the room were gradually removed and the air became fresh.

Gu Fei’s phone buzzed. Gu Qingqing had sent a message: [The meal is ready. The two aunties and I are waiting for you downstairs.]

Gu Fei let out a shame-filled whimper, tossed her phone aside, and headed downstairs for dinner.

Gu Fei didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but she kept feeling that Gu Qingqing’s gaze on her was a little strange.

Gu Fei almost couldn’t even eat her meal, and even felt like burying her face in her mother’s arms and crying her eyes out QAQ.

Gu Fei struggled to finish the meal, and when she went upstairs with Gu Qingqing, just as she was about to explain, Gu Qingqing very obediently spoke first, “Gu Fei, I understand…I’ve read online that an alpha’s desires are stronger than those of other genders. I-I think it’s completely normal, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Gu Fei：“……”

What do you even understand! Didn’t you just say you didn’t see anything just now?!

Liar!

“Gu, Qing, Qing!” Gu Fei stepped forward, pressing her presence so strongly that Gu Qingqing was forced back into the corner of the wall. Yet her voice carried clear grievance as she said, “I was just giving myself a massage just now! Massage, do you understand? I wasn’t doing anything weird!”

Gu Qingqing had originally been thinking of secretly teasing Gu Fei, who looked like a little cat with its fur bristling. But now, seeing Gu Fei all fierce on the surface yet with her eyes rimmed red, looking as if she might burst into tears from shame and grievance, her heart suddenly softened.

Gu Qingqing lowered her head, looked straight into Gu Fei’s eyes, nodded sincerely, and softly asked, “…a massage?”

“Haven’t you read about it online? You don’t even know this?” Gu Fei stepped back, exhaling, “Simply massaging the glands can also release pheromones and relieve an Alpha’s instincts. It’s not like you can only do that kind of thing…”

Gu Fei raised her voice, particularly emphasizing the words “simply massaging the glands.”

Gu Qingqing obediently buried her head, “I understand now.”

Gu Fei continued, “As for the video on my phone, that’s because you suddenly walked into my room and startled me, my finger slipped and accidentally tapped it.”

Gu Qingqing wasn’t sure if she really heard it, but she kept her head down, looking pitiful and contrite, as if she knew she was at fault and was ready to accept any punishment.

Gu Fei raised her hand and pinched her cheek. Gu Qingqing stayed obediently still, letting Gu Fei pinch it several times.

“By the way, Gu Qingqing, I’ve thought it over. We…can still sleep together.” Seeing how obedient Gu Qingqing was, Gu Fei thought for a moment before saying this.

Gu Qingqing raised her head, her eyes sparkling like brilliant stars.

“Okay.” Even her voice was sweet.

And so, Gu Qingqing still slept with Gu Fei, but the location had moved from her own room to Gu Fei’s room.

…

…

…

Another day, the weather was clear and cloudless.

Gu Hupo got up early and knocked on Gu Fei’s door with breakfast, “Zai-Zai, Qing-Qing, are you up yet? Today we agreed to go to the amusement park, so I brought breakfast for you both.”

“Ah wu…come in.” A muffled voice from inside the room, Gu Fei stretching lazily, replied.

Gu Hupo nudged the door open with her elbow and instinctively glanced at the bed. She saw her Zai-Zai and Qing-Qing sleeping under the same blanket. Gu Fei was sprawled out carelessly, stretching like a lazy little kitten, while Gu Qingqing curled up, half-asleep, nuzzling into Gu Fei’s arms.

It was clear that the two kids were very close. As for whether there was any romantic tension between them…Gu Hupo figured there probably wasn’t.

“Breakfast is on the table, so get up and eat.” Gu Hupo was about to turn and leave when Gu Qingqing’s phone alarm suddenly went off.

Gu Fei’s high-pitched, childish singing, completely off-key, echoed throughout the room.

Gu Hupo’s expression twitched subtly as she squinted her eyes, “…huh?”

Gu Fei, who had just been stretching lazily, instantly sobered up. She shot up from the bed and quickly turned off the alarm clock on the nightstand. Gu Qingqing also sat up, her head lowered as she let out a soft laugh.

Before leaving, Gu Hupo couldn’t help but complain, “Not bad, very effective. With Zai-Zai’s singing as an alarm clock, there’s no way anyone could stay asleep in the morning.”

“Gu Hupo, you——!” Gu Fei leapt up from the bed, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

Gu Hupo nimbly dodged back, hopped out of the room, and before closing the door, she didn’t forget to call out to Gu Qingqing, “Qing-Qing, send me a copy of that ringtone!”

Gu Fei turned around and looked at Gu Qingqing fiercely, “No!”

Back then, the whole point of setting the alarm was to dig a pit for Gu Qingqing, who told her to laugh at how bad her singing was! Who could’ve known that, by accident, she ended up burying herself in it instead.

Gu Qingqing held back her laughter and nodded, “Alright, alright, I won’t give it to Aunt Gu, I’ll listen to you.”

…

…

…

After breakfast, the family set off for the amusement park in the suburbs.

The amusement park was crowded during the winter break. As soon as they got out of the car, they could hear the lively noise all around, and from time to time, bursts of screams drifted from inside the park. When entering, in order to prevent their pheromones from being stimulated into secretion, the three of them sprayed on a blocking agent.

Gu Hupo impatiently pulled the family along and stopped under the biggest roller coaster in the park, “Wife——!”

Ju Yan glanced at the roller coaster soaring into the clouds, then looked at Gu Hupo’s expectant face, and lightly shook her head.

Gu Hupo acted like a big puppy, whining coquettishly, “Yan-Yan~”

Ju Yan shook her head in disgust, “……”

Gu Hupo then turned to look at Gu Qingqing and Gu Fei, “Qing-Qing, Zai-Zai will you go ride it with me?”

Gu Fei instinctively wanted to shake her head, but before she could, Gu Qingqing agreed first. Then she turned back to her with a gentle smile and said, “Gu Fei, if you’re scared, you can wait down here with Aunt Ju?”

“W-Who’s scared!” Gu Fei shook her head firmly, “I’m going with you guys!”

Gu Hupo, afraid she might back out and run away, happily threw an arm around her shoulders and led her toward the line at the entrance.

Gu Qingqing also tightly held Gu Fei’s hand from the side.

And just like that, Gu Fei was dragged to the seat by the two of them. With the safety harness fastened, there was no escaping, even if she wanted to.

The suspended roller coaster had three seats in each row. Gu Fei sat in the middle, and the moment her feet dangled in the air, she instinctively clutched the safety bar, trembling. On either side of her, Gu Qingqing and Gu Hupo sat down, still in the mood to chat casually.

While chatting with Gu Hupo, Gu Qingqing reached out with one hand and gently held Gu Fei’s fingers from the side.

At that moment, Gu Qingqing’s hand was warm, as if comforting her not to be afraid.

Gu Fei gradually became less afraid.

Gu Fei had just barely managed to stop her legs from shaking when she heard Gu Hupo say, “Qing-Qing, Zai-Zai, when the roller coaster reaches the highest point and drops down, that’s when you’ve got to shout out loud for it to feel exciting. Just like in those idol dramas. At your age, it’s the perfect time to shout out the name of the person you like. So romantic, right?”

“Childish.” Gu Fei turned her head and shot Gu Hupo a glare, “I don’t even have someone I like.”

Gu Qingqing lowered her eyes for a moment and said nothing.

The roller coaster started at that moment, and the cold wind suddenly picked up. Gu Hupo excitedly exclaimed, “Yo-ho!” and her legs wobbled along with it.

Gu Fei squeezed her eyes shut nervously.

The roller coaster slowly climbed upward and soon reached its highest point. At the very instant it plummeted down, Gu Hupo, not feeling childish at all, shouted loudly, “Yan-Yan, I love you!” Gu Fei’s high-pitched, childish scream cracked out of tune, while Gu Qingqing didn’t make a sound at all, she only tightened her grip on Gu Fei’s hand.

The wind howled as the roller coaster sped through the air, circling again and again.

When it finally came to a stop, Gu Fei’s legs were trembling so badly that she collapsed weakly into Gu Qingqing’s arms, looking so pitiful that she nearly burst into tears.

Gu Hupo rushed into Ju Yan’s arms full of energy.

Ju Yan smiled helplessly and walked up to Gu Fei, “Xiao Fei, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“No…” Gu Fei sniffled, wanting to throw herself into Ju Yan’s arms and cry, but she felt that she was already a big kid and that would be too embarrassing. In the end, she only clung tightly to Gu Qingqing. “I—I just feel a little weak in the legs, Mommy, don’t worry.”

Ju Yan smiled and rubbed her head, “Why don’t you let Hupo support you? That way Qing-Qing won’t get too tired.”

“It’s okay, Xiao Fei is very light.” Gu Qingqing shook her head.

Gu Fei also shook her head, “I don’t want her help!”

Ju Yan smiled gently.

Gu Hupo came bouncing back happily with four ice creams.

The four of them ate their ice creams while strolling slowly through the park, trying out a few less intense rides along the way. When they passed by the giant pendulum, Gu Hupo had just excitedly raised her hand when Gu Fei shook her head firmly, “Not going!”

This time, even the tactic of goading her didn’t work. Gu Fei lifted her head proudly and declared, “I am scared! And I’m not going, no way.”

Gu Qingqing thought about it and decided not to go play.

After several thrilling rides in a row, only Gu Hupo went on them. She played a few more, but gradually got bored. When the four of them came to a haunted house escape room, Gu Hupo’s eyes suddenly lit up, her interest rekindled, “Perfect for a family team-up! What do you say, what do you say?”

Ju Yan asked worriedly, “Will it be possible, Qing-Qing…?”

She remembered that Gu Fei said that Gu Qingqing was afraid of the dark.

Gu Fei also blinked worriedly.

Gu Qingqing looked at the haunted house, then chuckled and shook her head, “It’s okay, I’m not afraid of ghosts.”

Gu Qingqing didn’t say it outright in front of the two moms, but Gu Fei knew very well, she was only afraid of being left alone in a pitch-dark little room, not of being scared by the haunted house itself.

Gu Fei jumped up with a “Yay!” and clung tightly to Gu Qingqing’s wrist, heading inside together.

With the staff’s explanation, the four of them chose a school-themed scenario. Just as they were about to enter together, the staff cheerfully stopped them, “The two adults will play the role of teachers and should enter the teachers’ office through the left entrance. The two children will play the role of students and need to go through the right entrance to the classroom.”

“Zai-Zai, Qing-Qing, is that okay?” Gu Hupo asked with a smile.

“No problem!” Gu Fei said excitedly, shaking her head. Although she had been more afraid of ghosts when she accompanied Gu Qingqing back to the countryside before, that was only because the atmosphere at night in the countryside was scary! But the things in a haunted house are all fake, she definitely wouldn’t be scared!

Gu Qingqing also said softly, “It’s no problem.”

Once Gu Hupo and Ju Yan’s figures completely disappeared into the entrance on the left, Gu Fei pulled Gu Qingqing along, and together they went in through the right side.

Before reaching the classroom, there was a pitch-black corridor, lit by dim, eerie red lights. From time to time, a creepy background sound would echo through. The wooden classroom door was half-closed, and faint streaks of dark red seeped across its old surface, looking like bloodstains.

In just a few short steps, the once-excited Gu Fei was now clinging weakly to Gu Qingqing’s arm, her eyes widening pitifully.

When they reached the classroom door, Gu Fei curiously peeked inside. The moment she vaguely spotted what seemed to be a figure lying in the pitch-black room, her body shrank back even more as she hid behind Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing held her hand, and her smile unconsciously showed a hint of pampering, “I will go in front?”

“Mm…no!” Gu Fei first nodded, then quickly shook her head, her voice very, very soft. “Behind…I’m scared of that too.”

Gu Qingqing thought for a moment, then pulled her in and tried letting her stand in her arms. Gu Fei immediately pressed close against her, as if wishing she could stick to her completely.

Gu Qingqing lowered her eyes, the fingers hanging at her side quietly curling up, then slowly relaxing again.

Then Gu Qingqing calmly wrapped one arm around Gu Fei’s waist, slipping it under her coat to hold her close through the sweater, while her other hand rested on her shoulder. Her voice lowered as she said, “Then…if I hold you like this, whenever we see something scary, I’ll cover your eyes for you, okay?”

Gu Fei nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The corners of Gu Qingqing’s lips curved ever so slightly as she held Gu Fei and moved further into the classroom.

With a long “creak”, the classroom door was pushed open and something immediately fell from the door.

“Ah——oooh!” Just as Gu Fei screamed, Gu Qingqing quickly covered her eyes, leaning slightly forward and resting her head on her shoulder from behind, “Don’t be afraid, it’s just a dummy.”

Her voice was gentle down to the bone, the ending even carrying a faint smile, making it incredibly comforting.

Gu Fei nodded weakly, and they walked into the classroom together.

Gu Qingqing held Gu Fei protectively the entire time.

The classroom was decorated in a gloomy, eerie style. The desks were scattered haphazardly, each holding a lifelike rubber corpse, making it look very much like a horrifying crime scene. Especially a few steps further in, hidden speakers would occasionally emit eerie laughter from unknown locations.

“Go forward…then turn left…” Gu Qingqing calmly and gently guided Gu Fei, occasionally reassuring her along the way.

Gu Fei listened to her voice and gradually relaxed.

Only Gu Qingqing knew that the palm of her hand hidden in Gu Fei’s coat was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

In fact, she was afraid.

It was too dark here, too narrow, just like that warehouse from when they were little.

But if Gu Fei was scared, she couldn’t be scared. Or rather, because Gu Fei was there, she wasn’t scared.

The first classroom wasn’t actually difficult. There were no puzzles to solve, nor did the staff increase the difficulty. Following the blood-arrow markers on the floor, they quickly reached the exit.

Pushing open the classroom’s back door, they entered another empty corridor. At the end, there were doors on the left and right: “Restroom,” “Girls’ Dormitory,” and “Painting Room,” all notorious haunted spots in school horror films.

Suddenly, a strange broadcast voice sounded in the corridor.

“No matter which door we go through, don’t let the ghost find you” The hoarse voice dragged out the words, making Gu Fei curl up even tighter in Gu Qingqing’s arms, shivering.

Gu Qingqing calmly analyzed, “The next stage should be stealth. We need to be careful and not get caught by the staff.”

After a few seconds of pausing, she added, “I will protect you, don’t be afraid.”

“…hmm.” Gu Fei nodded weakly.

Finally, the two of them chose the girls’ dormitory and pushed the door open. Obviously, to accommodate players and NPCs, this dorm was much larger than a regular one. Dozens of old bunk beds, rubber corpses scattered everywhere, and NPCs hidden in unknown spots all created a strong sense of oppression.

But even so, the dormitory was still too small, if they wanted to play stealth, it would be barely feasible.

Gu Qingqing observed carefully and indeed found blood-red directional arrows on the floor. Some arrows pointed to spots like by cabinets, the foot of beds, or room corners marked with green circles. Presumably, as long as they hid inside the circles, the NPC ghosts would pretend not to see them, meaning the stealth would succeed.

Gu Qingqing spotted the nearest cabinet and prepared to take Gu Fei to hide there first.

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped into the dormitory, the door behind them closed on its own, squeaking loudly with a long, drawn-out sound.

The dormitory was pitch black, with only a strange pale light projected on the walls.

Suddenly, in the pale, ghastly light, on the bed directly in front of Gu Qingqing, a figure slowly sat up, hair disheveled, face covered in blood, grinning at them.

“Ah——!!!” Gu Fei’s tragic voice penetrated the entire dormitory.

The next moment, she wriggled out of Gu Qingqing’s arms and, grabbing her tightly, ran back with all her strength.

The ghost sat up from the bed and pounced towards them in a strange posture.

Gu Qingqing immediately realized it as well. The cabinet ahead was blocked by the ghost, so they couldn’t hide there. That left only…the corner on the left!

“Gu Fei, to the left!”

As Gu Qingqing spoke, she lunged forward, shielding Gu Fi in the left corner marked with a green circle. She quickly raised her hand to cover Gu Fi’s eyes.

Just as Gu Qingqing had anticipated, the ghost pretended not to see them and wandered nearby.

Gu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Fei’s body also went limp, slowly slumping against the wall, and finally sitting down on the floor.

Gu Qingqing kept covering her eyes for her. Following Gu Fi’s weight, she slowly crouched down, finally kneeling on both knees, in a very intimate posture, half-sitting on Gu Fi’s lap.

The dormitory was completely silent, without any background music. They were so close that, for a moment, all they could hear were their own breathing and even each other’s heartbeat.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

It was racing fast.

Gu Qingqing lowered her head, watching Gu Fei’s flushed lips part slightly from nervousness, her tongue occasionally flicking out to leave faint, glistening traces. Suddenly, a fluttering unease stirred in her heart.

Now, they were huddled together in the corner of the haunted house, in an extremely intimate posture. Staff paced back and forth behind them, ready to glance their way at any moment. Yet, for some reason, Gu Qingqing’s heart was racing, not from fear, but from a nervous excitement she couldn’t quite explain.

Her palm covered Gu Fei’s eyes, and with just a slight tilt of her head, she could brush against Gu Fei’s soft lips.

Gu Fei’s hands instinctively rested on her shoulders, even guiding her head downward, closer…and closer.

In this narrow, dark, and frightening environment, Gu Fei couldn’t see clearly, and even if there was contact, she would only think it was a coincidence. Once they left, no one would remember, and no one would overthink it.

She really wanted to take this opportunity to secretly taste Gu Fei.

Just…just this once.

Gu Qingqing’s breathing slowed, and her body tensed slightly. The hand she had wrapped around Gu Fei’s waist gently moved upward, and Gu Fei instinctively tilted her head back, her lips trembling slightly from nervousness.

Gu Qingqing closed her eyes and lowered her head.

Just a tiny bit closer, and they could touch.

It was as if that sweet, soft taste had already been drawn into her stomach.

Gu Qingqing felt Gu Fei’s breath getting closer and closer. Just before they were about to touch, the classroom door suddenly creaked open again. Gu Fei, sitting on the floor, shivered violently. She lifted her head, her lips brushing against Gu Qingqing’s, then instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around Gu Qingqing’s neck.

……Gu Qingqing’s body trembled and she fell into Gu Fei’s arms.

They touched.

So soft.

Her heart started beating so fast.

Before Gu Qingqing could even savor that fleeting taste, a blood-curdling scream erupted from the other side of the dormitory: “Aaaahhhh! Help! Don’t grab me! Aaahhhh!”

Relying on her Alpha stamina, Gu Hupo darted through the dormitory, skillfully evading the NPCs’ pursuit, and finally rushed to the corner where they were hiding.

“Qing-Qing! Zai-Zai! You’re here too! Hurry and save me, wuwuwu!” Gu Hupo leapt in front of them, wrapping her big hands around both of them.

Gu Qingqing’s stiff body gradually returned to normal.

Gu Fei was so startled she almost screamed, but after recognizing Gu Hupo, she pouted in displeasure, “Mom, how…can you be so unreliable?”

Gu Hupo：“……”

Her big hands holding the two of them were shaking.

“Where’s Mommy?” Gu Fei asked again.

“W-we got separated…I accidentally got caught by the ghost just now, and then we got separated…” Gu Hupo stammered as she spoke.

Just now, when the ghosts suddenly lunged out, she instinctively protected Ju Yan, but in the process, she wasn’t careful and got dragged away by several ghosts herself.

“Then…” Gu Fei thought for a moment, hugging Gu Qingqing tightly, “Shall we go look for Mommy together?”

The unreliable old father, Gu Hupo, nodded vigorously.

So Gu Fei hugged Gu Qingqing tightly, and Gu Hupo seemed to be protecting the two kids in her arms, but in fact her whole body was almost sticking to them. The three of them struggled to sneak along the arrows and escape from the dormitory.

Right behind them was the toilet. Out of nowhere, a ghost suddenly jumped out. Gu Hupo jolted in fright, scooped up the two kids, and bolted outside. After a wild and chaotic dash, she somehow managed to find the exit.

Screaming, Gu Hupo charged out. Just as she set the two down, she saw Ju Yan standing not far away, smiling at her gently.

“Wife——!” Gu Hupo threw herself into her arms aggrievedly, “I was scared to death, wuwuwu…were you scared?”

Ju Yan smiled gently, hugged her head and rubbed it, “Don’t be afraid.”

Gu Hupo nuzzled against her, then straightened up and hugged Ju Yan tightly, before turning back together to look at Gu Fei and the others.

“Zai-Zai, Qing-Qing, are you two okay?”

“I’m okay.” Gu Fei held onto Gu Qingqing’s finger, “Qing-Qing was protecting me the whole time, so…I wasn’t really that scared! Later, when you were yelling so loudly, you gave me a headache, so I wasn’t scared at all after that.”

Gu Fei turned her head and winked at Gu Qingqing, “Isn’t that right, Gu Qingqing?”

Gu Qingqing held back a laugh and said, “Mm, Xiao Fei wasn’t scared at all.”

Gu Hupo let out a long sigh of relief, “Hoo… anyway, let’s go get some milk tea to calm our nerves first.”

The group walked out of the haunted house, and Gu Fei and Gu Qingqing sat down on a nearby bench to rest, while Gu Hupo put her arm around Ju Yan and went to buy milk tea.

While they were in line, two young girls behind them suddenly called out cautiously, “Teacher Ju…?”

Ju Yan turned her head, a faint smile on her lips, which nearly made the two girls scream out loud. She made a “shh” gesture, and they immediately lowered their voices, though their excitement was still obvious, “Ahhh, Teacher Ju, it really is you! We love your movies so much. We never thought we’d run into you at the amusement park today……”

Although Ju Yan had retired from acting several years ago and long since faded from the entertainment industry, she had starred in many acclaimed works. Even now, people often still mention her online.

“Teacher Ju, c-could we take a picture with you?” The little fan asked excitedly.

“Of course you can.” Ju Yan nodded, then cast Gu Hupo a glance, signaling her to just buy the milk tea and bring it over to the kids, no need to wait for her.

Ju Yan walked with the two little fans to the pond nearby to take photos together. She also signed autographs for them and chatted casually for a moment or two before slowly making her way back.

Gu Hupo had already given the milk tea to Gu Fei and the others, but instead of sitting on the bench, she stood all alone in the distance, quietly watching the backs of Gu Fei and Gu Qingqing.

“Hupo?” Ju Yan stood beside her.

Gu Hupo handed her the milk tea with a straw and pointed in the direction of the bench.

From afar, they could see the two children leaning close together, speaking in hushed tones. Then, with a bright smile in her eyes, Gu Fei lifted her milk tea to Gu Qingqing’s lips, and in return, Gu Qingqing bent down to take a sip from Gu Fei’s cup.

The warm winter sun shone from their sides, filtering through the gaps in the dense vegetation and casting light and dark stripes on their cheeks.

So close, so inseparable, just like two children growing up together, free of doubts or distance.

“Actually, I think…” Gu Hupo scratched her head, “If those two ended up together, it might not be such a bad thing.”

Kiss!!!
