Strawberry Pop Pop Pop - Chap 54

Chap 54
Under the sunlight, Yu Yi looked particularly handsome. He occasionally scratched his
slightly red ears, displaying a shy and bashful appearance, like a timid young man.
Yu Yi and Gu Nuan were of similar age, so they had many topics to talk about. Yu Yi made
an effort to please Gu Nuan, always talking about things that interested him.
As a result, Gu Nuan, who had thought that Yu Yi had lost interest in him, no longer resisted
talking to Yu Yi like before. In fact, the kind-hearted Gu Nuan even reached out to help Yu Yi
carry half of the takeout.
But Yu Yi wouldn’t let Gu Nuan help him and said, “No need, it’s not heavy at all. Gu Nuan, I
used to think you were quite aloof, but today I realized that you are…”
So cheerful and adorable.
Yu Yi liked Gu Nuan even more.
Gu Nuan didn’t know what the second half of Yu Yi’s sentence was going to be and thought
that Yu Yi was disappointed in him for talking too much. He patted Yu Yi’s arm
sympathetically and comforted him, saying, “Senior, you shouldn’t judge people by their
appearance.”
“Of course! I was too shallow before.” Yu Yi was touched by Gu Nuan’s touch on his arm,
and his heart was beating like crazy. At this moment, even his soul inside his body could
sprint for the 100-meter championship.
Gu Nuan was amused by Yu Yi’s inexplicable nervousness and said, “Senior, you’re quite
interesting.”
…
This seemingly harmonious and compatible scene filled Han Yang’s lonely heart with
intense resentment and jealousy.
In the bamboo forest, his tall figure was dressed in a well-fitted black robe. The cold wind
blowing against his jet-black hair carried a faint hint of minty fragrance.

His appearance as a swordsman in ancient costume added a touch of melancholy to his
somber mood.
He looked at Gu Nuan and called out in a deep voice, “Gu Nuan.”
Gu Nuan, who had been chatting and laughing with Yu Yi, instantly had a change of
expression upon hearing Han Yang’s voice.
Still preoccupied with the gossip he had just heard, Gu Nuan panicked and awkwardly hid
behind Yu Yi, wearing an expression as if he had been caught red-handed.
Han Yang’s heart clenched as he anxiously took a few steps forward and stood in front of
them.
He used to tell himself that even if Gu Nuan liked someone else, he wouldn’t interfere, and
shouldn’t disturb. But when faced with this situation, Han Yang felt like his heart was being
strangled.
He was jealous.
Han Yang’s tone wasn’t particularly good or bad. Upon closer inspection, it was filled with
unease. “Why are you hiding behind him?”

Gu Nuan, not realizing the absurdity of his actions, was puzzled and stammered, “I… I don’t
know why I did that…”
Even if he had been caught by the person in question, there was no need to hide behind Yu
Yi.
Under Han Yang’s gaze, Gu Nuan shifted his steps and, feeling embarrassed, smiled
awkwardly after emerging from behind Yu Yi.
Yu Yi, unaware of their relationship, thought Gu Nuan was feeling conflicted. He moved to
shield Gu Nuan. Han Yang noticed his actions and, without hesitation, reached out and
gently pulled Gu Nuan toward himself.
Gu Nuan lowered his head and lightly bumped into Han Yang’s chest, catching a whiff of
mint.
He didn’t expect to be caught by Han Yang, so he uncomfortably pursed his lips, not
knowing where to start.
Moreover, Han Yang didn’t seem pleased, appearing somewhat angry, and even the scent of
pheromones in the air didn’t feel quite right.
Gu Nuan thought that Han Yang might not like him visiting the set. After all, who would
want someone wandering around their workplace, especially considering Han Yang’s
unique profession.
He took a deep breath, about to explain, but then saw Yu Yi grab Han Yang’s wrist and
assertively say, “Let go! Can’t you see he’s scared?”
Gu Nuan had a big question mark in his mind: scared?

Yu Yi was also an Alpha, and he unwillingly retorted, “You’re an actor, right? If we fight,
you’ll be the one in trouble.”
Han Yang furrowed his brow but remained silent.
Gu Nuan tried to stop Yu Yi, but before he could say anything, Yu Yi interrupted him and
waved his hand with newfound confidence, saying, “Gu Nuan, don’t worry. I won’t lose in a
fight! I’m from the sports department, so I can easily handle this pretty boy!”
Pretty… boy…
Gu Nuan was nearly stunned by this nickname, and Han Yang, without a change in
expression, clenched his teeth, forming a negative impression of Yu Yi.
After saying that, Yu Yi emitted his not-so-gentle pheromones and taunted Han Yang.
These pheromones were full of elements that made Omegas in particular uncomfortable,
this caused Gu Nuan to feel extremely uneasy, his shoulders trembling. His glands had been
injured, making him particularly sensitive to this type of pheromone and prone to adverse
reactions.
Han Yang noticed it immediately and, with a cold tone, told the naive Alpha, “Conceal your
pheromones.” Worried that Yu Yi might not understand, Han Yang explained with
suppressed anger, “Gu Nuan will feel uncomfortable. Hurry up and hide them!”
Yu Yi, who had never been in love and was usually busy working, had very little interaction
with Omegas. Naturally, he didn’t know about this.
He initially thought Han Yang was deceiving him, but when he turned to see Gu Nuan’s pale
face, he quickly retracted his pheromones and released Han Yang’s wrist, taking a step
back.
“Gu Nuan, are you okay? I’m sorry, I didn’t know. Besides my mom, I haven’t really
interacted with Omegas…”
But Gu Nuan had already been smoothly pulled into Han Yang’s arms, and he softly said to
Gu Nuan, “Take slow breaths.” He stroked Gu Nuan’s back, emitting some soothing
pheromones.
Yu Yi was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to do. He asked Gu Nuan, “Are you
okay? Um, should I offer you some soothing pheromones too?”
Han Yang held back his frustration and firmly refused any help from Yu Yi, saying, “Not
needed.” He looked at Gu Nuan, who was clearly unwell. His attitude towards Yu Yi was not
just cold; it was almost disgust.
Yu Yi felt defeated and impatiently asked Han Yang, the other Alpha, “I asked Gu Nuan. Why
are you answering?”

Han Yang completely ignored him.
Gu Nuan, now recovering from his shock, breathed a sigh of relief. His legs still felt weak,
making him unsteady on his feet. He whispered to Yu Yi, “Senior, you misunderstood. This
is my brother.”
Yu Yi: “?”
Yu Yi: “??”
Han Yang: “…”
In the next moment, Yu Yi straightened his posture, transforming from a defiant wolf into
an obedient puppy. He wiped the sweat from his palms and extended his hand respectfully,
saying, “Hello, I am Gu Nuan’s senior. My name is Yu Yi, and I am currently pursuing Gu
Nuan. Nice to meet you! I didn’t expect you to be Gu Nuan’s brother, not only are you
handsome, but you are also a respected actor. It’s an honor!”
His flattery went a bit overboard.
Gu Nuan was internally shocked: Pursuing what? Weren’t you giving up?
Upon hearing Yu Yi’s self-introduction, Han Yang’s heart was about to burst into flames.
Han Yang maintained his indifferent attitude and continued to ignore Yu Yi. He lifted Gu
Nuan, who still felt weak in the legs, into his arms. This surprised Gu Nuan, who asked,
“Brother?”
“Your legs are shaky. Let me take you to rest for a while.”
“Wouldn’t I be bothering you at work?” Gu Nuan asked cautiously.
Han Yang replied, “Not at all.”
Gu Nuan looked back and saw Yu Yi standing still, feeling concerned. He said, “Senior, …”
Han Yang interrupted, trying to hide his irritation, “He has legs, he can walk by himself.”
“Alright,” Gu Nuan leaned against Han Yang’s chest. “Brother, what if someone sees us like
this?”
“You can’t walk right now.”
Despite his disappointment, Gu Nuan found comfort in Han Yang’s embrace. Han Yang,
dressed in ancient costume, looked handsome, and Gu Nuan’s heart fluttered. He gently
rubbed his forehead against Han Yang’s and snuggled closer.
The soothing minty pheromones were indeed delightful.
As they walked together, several staff members saw them and cast curious glances their
way. Han Yang paid no attention to them, taking Gu Nuan to a private dressing room
belonging to He Yunchu.
Gu Nuan didn’t notice the sign on the door and curiously looked around.
“You don’t have to worry about anyone coming in here. Just rest for a while,” Han Yang said
as he placed Gu Nuan in a soft chair and handed him a cup of hot water. “Gu Nuan, how did
you end up here?”
Gu Nuan felt uneasy, not wanting to admit that he had come to sneak a peek.
Seeing Gu Nuan’s hesitation, Han Yang became suspicious. His impatience was hard to
suppress as he asked awkwardly, “Did that senior who’s pursuing you bring you here?”
Gu Nuan, realizing that Han Yang might be jealous, felt a surge of joy in his heart. However,
he quickly reconsidered; after all, Han Yang had rejected him earlier, so how could he be
jealous now?
Gu Nuan held the cup of hot water and deliberately said, “yes that senior brought me here.
Is that not allowed?”
Han Yang’s hand stiffened for a moment. Then, he reluctantly replied, “It’s allowed.”
Gu Nuan felt like he had discovered a new world and became lively. He didn’t want to “play
hard to get” anymore and, grabbing Han Yang’s hand, blurted out everything, “I was joking.
It was actually Xia-ge who brought me here. I just coincidentally ran into that senior, he
does part-time food delivery. Brother, don’t listen to Senior Yu’s nonsense. He gave up
pursuing me a long time ago. You know… I actually…”
I actually like you.
Gu Nuan wanted to continue, but then heard the door opening from the outside.
“Click.”
Gu Nuan quickly got up and hid behind Han Yang.
Immediately, He Yunchu entered the room, holding a box of grilled chicken rice and
wearing a curious expression. “Oh, what are you doing in my dressing room?”
