Fake Alpha Daughter's Self-Help Notes - Chapter 5

Gu Hupo was driving. When she looked up in front of the rearview mirror, she saw Gu Fei staring out the window in a daze. She couldn’t help but say, “Hey, are Zai-Zai and Qing-Qing wearing the same clothes today?”

Gu Fei came back to her senses and turned to look at Gu Qingqing.

Only then did she realize that Gu Qingqing had chosen the same dress as hers, but hers was pink and Gu Qingqing’s was blue. Gu Qingqing didn’t bring any clothes to the Gu house. All the clothes in her closet  were hand-picked and put in by Gu Fei before she came.

The same dress looks cute and petite on Gu Fei, but looks cold and elegant on Gu Qingqing. The light from the car window shines on her, creating a hazy halo that even makes her look holy.

Gu Qingqing looked very good in this dress, but Gu Fei felt that there was something indescribably strange about it.

What was so strange about it? Gu Fei couldn’t think of it for the time being.

With Gu Hupo’s interruption, the awkward atmosphere in the car finally dissipated a little, and soon the car arrived at the shopping mall. The family left the underground parking lot. The surroundings were empty and dark, with only a few lights at the corner.

There was no air conditioning in the underground parking lot. As soon as she got out of the car, a stuffy air hit her in the face.

“Wu…”

The two mothers walked in front. Gu Fei stretched and tried to keep up with their pace. After taking a few steps, she found that Gu Qingqing was still standing there.

Gu Qingqing held the car door with one hand, looking around timidly, her back slightly hunched, she looked even more frail and pitiful.

Gu Fei stopped and looked back at her in confusion.

‘What’s wrong? Is it because she’s never been to a big mall before and hasn’t seen an underground parking lot, so she’s not used to it?’ Gu Fei was about to extend a hand to Gu Qingqing, but she suddenly stood up and gave her a faint smile.

“I was a little carsick just now, but I’ve recovered now,” Gu Qingqing walked over and explained softly.

“Are you okay?” Gu Fei frowned.

“I’m okay, Gu Fei, thank you for your concern,” Gu Qingqing smiled softly.

“Zai-Zai, Qing-Qing, what’s wrong with you guys?” Gu Hupo’s voice came from the front.

“Nothing! We’re coming.” Gu Fei waved at her vigorously and led Gu Qingqing towards the elevator.

The elevator of this large shopping mall was very large. There was no one else in i, so there was more than enough to accommodate the four of them. But Gu Fei noticed that Gu Qingqing almost subconsciously stood in the corner of the elevator. Gu Qingqing still had a slight smile, but a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

The elevator went up floor by floor, and finally stopped at the stationary area on the fourth floor. Bright light poured in from outside. When they walked out of the elevator, they saw a colorful scene of stationary, toys, and various exquisite gadgets……not far away, there was a large glass-enclosed ice rink, which exuded a hint of cold air. On the other side was a toy car tract, and several children sat beside it, concentrating on holding the remote control.

Gu Qingqing pursed her lips and followed the three people quietly.

Gu Fei was skipping and jumping in front with the two mothers. It was obvious that the three of them often came here. They were familiar with the place and chatted happily while walking.

The two mothers did not intentionally ignore Gu Qingqing, but there was always an inexplicable awkward feeling between the three of them. If she wasn’t careful, Gu Qingqing would be left behind.

Gu Fei turned around inadvertently and saw Gu Qingqing standing by a small window not far away, staring at the things inside in a daze.

Under the warm yellow light of the mall, the girl bent slightly, making her figure look even more slender. Her knee-length skirt lifted a little, exposing her well-proportioned and beautiful calves. She didn’t know if it was because the air conditioning in the mall was too cold or if Gu Fei had seen it wrong, but she felt that her slender legs were trembling slightly.

Gu Fei walked over and found that the window was filled with various charms. In the reflection of the glass, Gu Qingqing’s eyes were fixed on a kitty charm. The yellow and white little kitty was nestled in the arms of the big cat, looking very cute. Gu Qingqing’s eyes seemed to be fond of it,  but also seemed to be confused.

Gu Qingqing was looking intently and didn’t notice her approaching at all.

Gu Fei frowned in confusion, recalling that Gu Qingqing had the same expression in the underground parking lot just now. She was clearly trying her best to endure, but she couldn’t hide the confusion and fear in her eyes.

But what is there to be afraid of? Gu Fei looked up at the two mothers not far away, and recalled the awkward atmosphere when Gu Qingqing was with them just now, and she seemed to understand something in her heart.

“What would you like to buy, both of you?” The salesperson noticed two girls and suddenly came over to ask.

Gu Qingqing subconsciously retracted her gaze, took a step back and shook her head timidly. Only then did she realize that Gu Fei was right beside her, and she turned around and gave a nonchalant smile. Gu Fei, however, held her hand with a bright smile and said to the salesperson, “Sister, we want two of that kitty charm, thank you!”

Gu Fei’s voice was sweet and her palm was warm, completely different from Gu Qingqing’s cold fingers.

Before Gu Qingqing could react, the clerk had already packed the charms. Gu Fei took out her mobile phone and scanned the code to pay in one go. She smiled and held the bag in one hand, holding her hand with the other, and skipped towards their two mothers.

At this moment, a cold reminder sound suddenly came from Gu Fei’s mind, “Task release: Cry in front of your mothers that they are biased. Reward for task completion: Villainess value +5. Extra reward: depends on the degree of task completion.”

Gu Fei blinked, and indeed, rows of additional taskbars appeared in front of her, and the system’s cheerful voice also sounded, “Host, I’m back! I also brought you the original novel. Do you want to use it for reference…wait, host, you and Gu Qingqing’s hand…?”

When the system noticed their clasped hands, its voice was noticeably stunned.

Holding hands? Was this the relationship between the villainess and the heroine? Why does it feel like something was wrong?

“Am I not pretending to like Gu Qingqing in front of mom?”  Gu Fei snorted and quickly diverted the system’s attention, “I need to refer to the original novel, please.”

The system pulled up the original novel:

[Gu Qingqing was in such a big mall for the first time. The air was full of unfamiliar smells. The various toys around her were dazzling. There were bursts of noisy sounds in her ears. People were coming and going around her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

She was scared.

This time when they were shopping in the mall, they said they were going to buy stationery for Gu Qingqing for the next semester, but the other three people seemed to have forgotten about her and walked in front of them, talking and laughing.

Gu Qingqing noticed that the things that Ju Yan and Gu Hupo chose for her were all the leftovers that Gu Fei had chosen. Even so, Gu Fei still cried with red eyes, and Gu Hupo hurriedly took her to the empty toilet passage to comfort her.

Gu Fei’s complaints were very loud, so even though they were some distance apart, Gu Qingqing could still hear them clearly.

“Mom, don’t you love me anymore?”

“I’m an orphan now. If even you don’t want me, I’ll die!”

Then came Gu Hupo’s soothing voice, “Zai-Zai, how can Gu Qingqing compare to you? Although we are not related by blood, our feelings are unbreakable. If Gu Yuan hadn’t died, we would never have taken her home…”

Next to Gu Qingqing, Ju Yan obviously heard their voices, but she coldly buried her head in her phone and didn’t even look at Gu Qingqing.

After a while, Gu Fei walked out of the toilet passage. Ju Yan immediately smiled gently and extended her hand to Gu Fei. The family of three walked in front with smiles on their faces.

Gu Qingqing stood there, her heart was cold.]

Gu Hupo has already carried a lot of shopping bags, all of them were bought by Gu Fei and just now. Gu Hupo and Ju Yan did not deliberately ignore Gu Qingqing as in the original novel, but when they bought stationery before, they did buy the ones that Gu Fei missed for Gu Qingqing. If she hadn’t read the original novel, Gu Fei would not have noticed it at all.

Gu Fei finally realized why Gu Qingqing had such a confused and frightened expression.

Feeling a little guilty, she held Gu Qingqing’s fingers tighter.

The system said excitedly, “So host, you just need to drag Gu Hupo to the toilet, and then cry in front of her! Cry loudly! Cry and say that they are biased, make them feel sorry for you, and hate Gu Qingqing, and the task will be completed!”

Gu Fei let go of Gu Qingqing’s hand and tugged at Gu Hupo’s sleeve, “Gu Hupo, I want to go to the toilet, come with me.”

Gu Qingqing was stunned when her palm suddenly left the warmth, and looked at Gu Fei with some discomfort.

Gu Hupo was also surprised and asked, “Go to the toilet together? No way, how old are you, Zai-Zai?”

“No matter what! I just want you to accompany me,” Gu Fei pulled Gu Hupo toward the nearby toilet passage.

Seeing Gu Fei walking away, Gu Qingqing retracted her hand to her side, and her eyes gradually regained calm. She was no longer afraid, nor did she have any other emotion.

Gu Fei stopped at the entrance of the passage, clasped her hands over her chest, and looked at Gu Hupo angrily.

Gu Hupo scratched her head and bent down slightly, “Zai-Zai, do you want to talk to me alone?”

Gu Hupo was also a top alpha, but it was not just her pheromone concentration that’s high, she also has a standard alpha figure—— a tall person of nearly 1.9 meters, with sharp eyebrows and facial features, and better physical strength than ordinary people. In their family of three, she was like an old father who dotes on her daughter, and almost everything depended on Gu Fei.

“Host, cry! Accuse them of being greedy! Gu Hupo likes you so much, she will definitely neglect Gu Qingqing even more because of this!” The system’s voice also sounded.

Gu Fei bit her lips, raised her head and waited for Gu Hupo, and said loudly, “Gu Hupo, are you being biased!”

System: “Host, you did a great job! Keep going!”

“……huh?” Gu Hupo was stunned.

“Did you just ignore Qing-Qing on purpose? You didn’t notice her when you were shopping……I didn’t take good care of her.” Gu Fei recalled the pitiful look on Gu Qingqing’s face when she looked at the cat pendant, and her voice couldn’t help but weaken, “Aunt Gu Yuan passed away not long ago. Gu Qingqing went to the city alone, surrounded by unfamiliar people and things. She must be feeling very uncomfortable, wu……”

Systen: “Host, just like that, just cry quickly……eh?”

What happened to the promise to cry about Gu Hupo’s bias for Gu Qingqing? How did it become speaking for Gu Qingqing?
