A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 12
Zhong Lin opened the envelope—
“Today’s you was pretty good.”
“Keep it up.”
This seemed to be a “good person card.” The letter paper faintly carried a familiar fragrance.
Sweet and sour, with a faint scent of alcohol. The smell of white grape sparkling wine.
She had no idea who had given it to her…
But Zhong Lin did not care about these things at all. She had played in Happy Valley for the whole day, and her head was heavy and muddled. Sleepiness slowly spread through her. Her limbs felt faintly weak, and the temperature of her entire body gradually rose.
Her long, curled lashes began slowly blinking. Each time she closed her eyes, the duration grew longer.
Feeling extremely sleepy, Zhong Lin went into the bathroom to wash up.
Then she returned to the bedside, kicked off her shoes, and climbed onto her little blanket. Her movements were extremely quick. She really, really wanted to lie down. (:з)∠)
The mattress here was provided by a brand sponsor. It was very, very soft. Zhong Lin slowly rolled once, then her eyes completely closed. Her little arms and little hands stopped moving.
Bullet comments—
[Hahahahaha, the livestream hasn’t even ended yet, but the cub is already sleepy~]
[Let her sleep, let her sleep~ The cub looks too cute when she’s dozing off!!]
[…Can someone tell me why I’m watching someone sleep on a dating variety show?? Director? Hurry and switch the camera!]
[Speechless. This is Zhong Lin’s channel. I suggest the person above go see an eye doctor. If you don’t like it, please go to another guest’s channel. Take care, we won’t see you off.]
…
“Ding ding—”
“Ding ding—”
The doorbell suddenly rang.
It woke her from a sweet, fragrant dream.
“Who is it?” Zhong Lin slowly opened her eyes. Her little arms struggled twice before she resigned herself to getting up from the bed and going to open the door.
The little male Omega was wearing a loose navy-blue T-shirt, and his plaid shorts did not even reach his knees. He looked small, thin, and delicate.
Zhou Xiaoduo said, “Zhong Lin, you didn’t fall asleep this quickly, did you?”
“I didn’t disturb you, right?”
“Mm, you disturbed me…” Zhong Lin’s voice was low and soft, sounding lazy and drowsy.
Zhou Xiaoduo: “…”
The Bai Ze cub’s mind was still not fully awake.
Seemingly relying on instinct, Zhong Lin pulled back the hand holding the doorknob and was about to close the door again. “Sleep early. Your skin will be nice.”
Zhong Lin wanted to return to bed and sleep immediately.
But the person outside the door suddenly reached out and blocked it. “Wait.”
“What are you doing?” Zhong Lin quickly stopped closing the door. Her little head trembled once. She immediately woke up and felt a little scared afterward…
She had almost pinched this little male Omega’s hand.
Zhou Xiaoduo poked his head in, his gaze seemingly searching for something. “Don’t rush to rest. The director asked me to come call you. He said there’s still an evening interaction segment that hasn’t been filmed.”
Zhong Lin nodded helplessly, casually closed the door, and followed Zhou Xiaoduo.
Zhou Xiaoduo had only received one letter today. From the contents of the letter—“Let’s do a shoot together when we have time”—he could tell that Chu Yunze had written it to him.
Because only Chu Yunze and he both had modeling backgrounds.
As for Zhou Xiaoduo’s own letter, he had written it to Pei Yi.
He really wanted to know: since he had not received Pei Yi’s letter, who exactly had Pei Yi written to?
“Did you receive a letter today?” Zhou Xiaoduo slightly turned his head and quietly observed Zhong Lin’s reaction.
Zhong Lin’s eyes were hazy with sleep. She looked at him helplessly. “Yes~”
“What was written to you…” Zhou Xiaoduo felt a little anxious. “Who do you guess wrote it to you?”
Zhong Lin let out a low “Eh.” “Why should I tell you?”
“We’re good girlfriends… Didn’t you used to tell me everything?” Zhou Xiaoduo narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly sized Zhong Lin up.
In the original plot, Zhou Xiaoduo eventually successfully bound CPs with multiple Alpha guests and occupied several trending tags all by himself.
In the end, during the “final pick,” Zhou Xiaoduo and Pei Yi chose each other, and then he had access to good resources all the way, debuting in a blaze of popularity.
Meanwhile, the “Zhong Lin” in the original story served as Zhou Xiaoduo’s stepping stone. She was trampled into the mud. During the dating show’s “final pick,” she was left empty-handed.
Not a single Alpha guest chose “Zhong Lin.” She was mocked by the entire internet and blackened by everyone’s rhythm. With her already poor resources, “Zhong Lin” was practically shelved.
In the end, before she leaped from the balcony, “Zhong Lin” had called Zhou Xiaoduo from the original story, her former “good girlfriend.”
But no one answered. “Zhong Lin” had been blocked by Zhou Xiaoduo.
During the nightmare on the ride back earlier, Zhong Lin had once again relived the original plot. She knew very clearly… this little male Omega named Zhou Xiaoduo looked like a person, but was actually a birdman with broken wings~
He even kept claiming to be “Zhong Lin’s” good girlfriend. Even the Bai Ze cub did not like him very much!
“What? Do you have an Alpha you like now? Too embarrassed to tell me?” Zhou Xiaoduo smiled teasingly.
“Not really. The person who wrote the letter just said I was very good, good in all kinds of ways.” The corners of Zhong Lin’s lips lifted slightly, and she smiled without a care in the world. “They praised me so much that I felt a little embarrassed.”
Zhong Lin: …I’m definitely not telling you the real details. Guess by yourself~
Zhou Xiaoduo’s eyes darkened. He was very surprised in his heart. He had not expected that an Alpha had actually written a letter to Zhong Lin.
[Honestly, when Zhou Xiaoduo said the word “girlfriend,” I somehow felt a tiny bit scared. It just felt strange.]
[Zhou Xiaoduo’s probing is way too obvious, right? Didn’t he see that she clearly doesn’t want to tell him?]
[…Speechless. Dating shows are fun because everyone guesses back and forth. Little brother Xiaoduo, jiayou! Charge, charge, charge!]
…
Zhong Lin followed Zhou Xiaoduo, and the two of them arrived in the small courtyard together.
The vine trellis was decorated with strings of little lights woven into a net, twinkling with warm yellow light like stars.
Pei Yi sat in a hanging chair. The faint warm light blurred her outline, but she was still the kind of presence in a crowd that one could not look away from once they saw her.
Beneath her silver-gray satin nightgown, her legs were crossed. They were long, straight, and slender. Her calves hung quietly, and her fair soles rested in laser-finish flat slippers.
Her whole person seemed to be glowing.
Zhong Lin raised her head slightly and could not help being dazed for a moment.
What was going on tonight? Why did she suddenly feel that Pei Yi, as the heroine Alpha… was a little pretty?
“Aren’t you going to the bathroom?” Zhong Lin’s thoughts were interrupted by a female voice.
Chu Yunze, who was sitting on a rocking chair to the side, suddenly straightened and pointed at the top of her own head. She quietly hinted to Zhong Lin, “Your hair is messy.”
Following her gesture, Zhong Lin touched her forehead and found a small strand of silly hair sticking up.
It was probably because when she had napped earlier, her sleeping posture had been bad and pressed it up.
It would not look good on camera.
[Oh my god, Chu Yunze is so gentle~]
[Chu Yunze’s EQ is really high. You could tell from how she helped Zhou Xiaoduo and Liang Shan out at the dinner table earlier!]
[I originally thought she was a cool, aloof girl. I didn’t expect supermodel Sister Yunze to be such a warm female Alpha!! [/infatuated face]]
…
Looking in Chu Yunze’s direction, Zhong Lin nodded gratefully. Then she ran to the nearest bathroom, wet her hand, and smoothed down the silly strand of hair on top of her head.
When Zhong Lin returned to the courtyard, all the seats had already been filled.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yi suddenly got up from the hanging chair, brought over a small stool from not far behind her, placed it beside herself, and crooked a finger in Zhong Lin’s direction. “Come here.”
“There’s a small stool here.”
Pei Yi really did not hate Zhong Lin that much anymore.
She even wanted to observe her a little. What exactly could make a drama queen suddenly become obedient?
Zhong Lin… what did she want?
The doubts in Pei Yi’s heart made her panic, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Zhong Lin seemed completely unaware. She obediently sat on the small stool beside Pei Yi and softly thanked her. “Thank you.”
Everyone sat around the small table. A card was placed face-down on the tabletop.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liang Shan took the initiative to flip the card over. “Tonight’s game is called: ‘If I Call Your Name, Do You Dare Answer?’ The specific rules are that everyone rolls dice together. The person with the highest number wins, and the person with the lowest number loses.”
“The person with the higher number can call the name of any loser. As long as the other person’s number is lower than theirs, the loser has two choices.”
“First, answer the other person’s call and answer their question. Second, refuse to answer and accept a small punishment.”
“The corresponding small punishment is to drink half a glass of Real Love Summer Cocktail. In the scorching summer heat, is it the wine that intoxicates me, or your smiling face? Perhaps this is the tipsy taste of being in love?” Liang Shan read the commercial advertisement with a serious expression.
“Each guest must participate in the activity once.”
Everyone began rolling the dice one by one.
Zhong Lin sat obediently on the small stool. Imitating the others, she shook the dice. When she opened the lid, it was eleven.
This number was very high and looked safe enough.
The Bai Ze cub was a divine beast that sought fortune and avoided disaster. Zhong Lin’s luck had always been very good.
Everyone was a little surprised.
Liang Shan gave an awkward smile. “Xiao Lin, you’re safe.”
When Zhou Xiaoduo opened his lid, it was twelve.
As expected of the male lead Omega from the original story… his luck was really good.
Everyone could not help sighing in amazement. This was a one-in-thirty-six probability.
Chu Yunze changed the position of her crossed long legs. She had always been quite interested in Zhou Xiaoduo, and tonight’s anonymous letter had also been written to him. “Mm, the biggest winner is Xiaoduo.”
Zhong Lin did not care about this at all. As a Bai Ze cub, the most important thing was to be happy. Winning or losing was not important to her. What was important was that the temperature of her whole body was faintly rising.
She felt a little sleepy. She really wanted to go back and sleep. (:з)∠)
…
After everyone had rolled their numbers, the first round of questioning began with Zhou Xiaoduo.
Zhou Xiaoduo, who had the highest authority, looked around. His gaze lingered on Pei Yi for a moment.
Pei Yi’s eyes were half-closed, her laziness carrying a careless indifference as she sat in the hanging chair, swaying slightly.
In the end, Zhou Xiaoduo still looked in Zhong Lin’s direction.
It was not time yet. He did not dare directly question Pei Yi. He could not appear too proactive in front of Pei Yi, or else he would end up like Zhong Lin, with the tragic fate of being hated by Pei Yi.
“Zhong Lin, if I call your name, do you dare answer?” Zhou Xiaoduo called Zhong Lin’s name. “I’m very curious. What kind of Alpha makes your heart move?”
Over the past few days, Zhou Xiaoduo had faintly felt that something was off. It seemed that Zhong Lin’s extremely straightforward love for Pei Yi had actually been rapidly decreasing?!
Even her “Lin-style shocking remarks” that disregarded the feelings of the other guests, and even her “acting-up” behavior, had restrained themselves?
This made Zhou Xiaoduo feel strange, and uneasiness began rising in his heart.
Moreover, he had secretly seen the program edit earlier. From the bullet comment spoilers, he had seen comments saying that Zhong Lin’s initial heartbeat pick was not Pei Yi, but the production team had deliberately hidden Zhong Lin’s final choice.
Zhou Xiaoduo had always wanted to know who exactly Zhong Lin had chosen in her initial heartbeat pick.
Zhong Lin remained silent.
Seeing that Zhong Lin did not answer, Zhou Xiaoduo immediately tried to draw words out of her. “You don’t need to say the specific name. Just say the type directly. It’s not like I’m forcing you~”
He was not forcing Zhong Lin to say a name, but he was forcing her to say a type.
Every Alpha guest present had their own distinct characteristics.
This way of asking was equivalent to directly forcing Zhong Lin to say who she had chosen for her initial heartbeat pick.
The Bai Ze cub always had a bad feeling.
