A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 18
“This type of Omega has a rather special constitution during heat. Since she is already an adult, I would still recommend that the patient receive a mark as soon as possible,” the doctor sighed lightly, her tone sounding somewhat regretful.
“A temporary mark would also work. As long as the strong inducement of the Omega pheromones can be weakened, it won’t interfere with her normal life.”
A temporary mark? But Zhong Lin was not her Omega…
Pei Yi raised a hand and slowly rubbed her brow. Her red lips were pressed tightly together as she slowly sorted through the logic in the doctor’s words.
First, for some reason, Zhong Lin had undergone secondary differentiation and become a rare-level Omega. Her pheromones had a strong attraction effect on Alphas. If she forgot to use a scent-blocking patch, it could even affect her normal life?
Pei Yi’s heart clenched suddenly.
So the palpitations she had felt last night were actually caused by Zhong Lin’s pheromones?
Second, Zhong Lin’s body surface still carried the pheromones of “a certain Alpha.” The test report showed that the compatibility between their AO pheromones was greater than 95%, infinitely approaching 100%.
A match made in heaven, so they were drawn to each other.
In the original story, “Zhong Lin’s” pathological obsession with the original heroine Alpha, Pei Yi, had partly been because she was absolutely attracted to Pei Yi’s pheromones, addicted down to the bone.
Now that the current Zhong Lin had transmigrated into the book, it had caused a major change in the original plot. After secondary differentiation, her pheromones had suddenly mutated. The original one-sided attraction had turned into mutual attraction.
The Omega and Alpha were like two poles of a magnet, attracted to each other, unavoidable.
Pei Yi knew very clearly in her heart that the “certain Alpha” the doctor mentioned was herself.
So last night, even though she had been wearing a scent-blocking patch, it had been useless. Out of an instinct embedded in her flesh and blood, she had been drawn to Zhong Lin, trembling in body and mind for her, her heart unable to stop throbbing.
Pei Yi closed her lashes. Her eyelashes were very long, but straight, leaving a faint shadow beneath her eyelids. Her fingers, resting on the armrest of the chair, slowly curled inward, the joints turning white from force.
“All right. I’ll pass it on.” Pei Yi’s voice was gloomy, her mood extremely complicated.
That night, the official Weibo account of Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge released an apology statement, saying that from now on, they would carefully monitor every Omega’s heat period and every Alpha’s susceptible period, properly manage each guest’s inhibitors and scent-blocking agents, and absolutely prevent this kind of accident from happening again.
“Should this part be cut?” The staff member in charge of editing pointed at the computer screen and turned to ask the assistant director. The scene in the video was exactly the part from last night when Pei Yi and Zhong Lin had been entangled inside the room.
“Cut it.” The assistant director revealed a meaningful smile and said urgently, “How could we leave it in? This was a livestream accident!”
Unexpectedly, a few seconds of the video still leaked that night.
The tag #PeiYiZhongLinDatingShowFakeActingTurnsRealSuspectedRealFeelingsOnVarietyShow# hung at the top of the trending searches, and its popularity surged, changing from “hot” to “explosive.”
The popularity of Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge suddenly increased. The view count of the first episode reached three times what it had been half a day earlier, making Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge climb to second place on the “Trending Variety Shows” list.
But the good times did not last long. Less than half an hour later, capital entered the scene. The videos related to Pei Yi were completely scrubbed clean, and the tag #PeiYiZhongLinDatingShowFakeActingTurnsRealSuspectedRealFeelingsOnVarietyShow# was also removed from the trending searches.
Only Zhong Lin’s Weibo was once again overrun by haters, bandwagon netizens, and Pei Yi’s solo fans.
The assistant director’s phone suddenly rang. His expression heavy, the man answered the call.
“Good evening, Assistant Director Chen. Chairwoman Pei asked me to remind you,” a man’s voice came through the receiver, polite and courteous.
“Keep your little tricks to a minimum. Understand?”
This was a call from the office of the chairwoman of Fanghong Group, one of the investors and the production team’s biggest sponsor daddy.
A chill ran through the assistant director’s heart. His fingers tightened around the phone. “I understand. Please convey my apologies for me.”
After hanging up, the man covered his heart with one hand and let out a long breath. Why did he have a strange feeling? As if the person he had used for hype was not Pei Yi, but the daughter of Fanghong Group…
But he remembered the chairwoman’s surname was Fang?
No matter what, the assistant director was still very satisfied with the result. This wave of hype was worth it. At least the heat had gone up.
The next morning, sunlight passed through the window edge and spread a pale golden glow over the floor. On the hospital bed, the small curled-up figure suddenly stirred.
Her tightly closed lashes slowly opened. The sunlight brought a faint sting. Her vision went from blurry to clear, and Zhong Lin gradually saw the scene around her.
Zhong Lin opened her mouth. A slippery touch brushed over her tongue, and something fell from her mouth.
It was a belt.
And it was the belt from Pei Yi’s nightgown. At this moment, it was covered in deep and shallow tooth marks, sticky and damp. The silver-gray silk fabric had been completely soaked by her saliva.
Pei Yi’s thing had actually been ruined by her like this.
What exactly had she done last night…
The tips of her small ears turned completely red, and a faint pink spread up her neck as well. Zhong Lin blinked, helplessly biting her lower lip. The side of her face became very hot.
She did not know much of anything, but she felt so ashamed. (:з)∠)
Zhong Lin raised her head and looked around. Fortunately, no one had seen it. She was the only person in this room. She quickly stuffed Pei Yi’s belt into her pocket and hid it away, her little hands tightly clutching and unclutching her cuffs. There was a bit of nervousness in her heart.
This was a completely unfamiliar room. The walls around her were painted a pale white. She was lying on a small iron bed, and the quilt and bedding covering her were all clean white.
Zhong Lin walked with a limp. Her whole body felt soft and weak, her bones and muscles without strength. A strange tingling sensation ran along the end of her spine, her knees trembled slightly, and her feet could barely gather strength. She tried to walk from the bed to the door.
After all, she still had to record the show…
“Knock, knock—”
A light knocking sound came from outside the glass door.
Zhong Lin’s heart skipped, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Knock, knock—”
The person outside the door was very patient, knocking again and again.
“Coming.”
Zhong Lin dragged her legs and jogged to the glass door. Standing outside was a female Beta wearing round glasses. Zhong Lin tugged hard at the door, but it did not open. The glass door seemed to have been locked from the outside.
The girl placed her hand on the glass and patted it. “You’re Teacher Xiao Zhong, right? I’m Teacher Pei Yi’s assistant, Wang Xueqi. You can just call me Xueqi.”
Zhong Lin’s eyes were full of confusion. Through the glass door, she asked, “Where… am I now?”
“At the hospital.” Wang Xueqi explained through the layer of glass, “Something happened to you last night. Pei Yi and I sent you here together.”
Zhong Lin’s head was not as muddled as it had been last night, and she had recovered a little awareness. But she did not remember very clearly what had happened last night. She only remembered that faint sweet wine fragrance.
Assistant Wang Xueqi pointed at the small plastic meal box in her hand. “I bought breakfast for you. I’ll have the nurse bring it in for you later.”
Zhong Lin nodded dazedly, then hesitantly said, “But… don’t I still have to record the show?”
“The show can stop broadcasting for two days. The director said so last night,” Wang Xueqi comforted her. “Rest easy. Pei Yi also changed her schedule. She’s going to shoot a cover this morning.”
Zhong Lin gave a low “mm.” “Okay.”
Pei Yi’s assistant Wang Xueqi said, “There’s one more thing.”
Zhong Lin asked, “What is it?”
Wang Xueqi lowered her eyes and did not speak. After hesitating for a moment, she looked as though she wanted to speak but stopped. “Your test report is with Pei Yi. She may have to wait until after she finishes shooting the cover before giving it to you.”
“Mm.” Zhong Lin nodded lightly. “That isn’t urgent.”
The round-glasses female Beta hurried away after saying that, as if she still had other things to do.
Zhong Lin slowly moved back to the bedside step by step. Although the bed here was not as comfortable as the one at the villa, as long as she could lie down and be a salted fish, it was very comfortable.
The Bai Ze cub suddenly missed the salted-fish days of being sealed and sleeping in chaos.
Ten minutes later, the glass door opened. A little nurse pushed a cart inside. “Are you Zhong Lin?”
Zhong Lin nodded.
The little nurse placed the things Pei Yi’s assistant had brought earlier onto the bedside cabinet. “This was brought by your relative.”
Seeing that there was delicious food!
Zhong Lin raised her head slightly. Two shallow dimples appeared beside her lips. “Thank you. You worked hard~”
The little nurse pushed the cart closer and closer. Zhong Lin suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Zhong Lin’s simple, straightforward happiness lasted only until she was caught by the nurse.
The nurse grabbed Zhong Lin’s arm and rolled her sleeve up to her shoulder. While Zhong Lin was not paying attention, a needle gleaming coldly stabbed straight into her shoulder.
A sharp pain came from her shoulder. The pale blue medicine was slowly pushed in and merged into her blood. The pain spread through her entire left shoulder.
Zhong Lin: …I’m no longer happy. Happiness has nothing to do with me anymore. ╭(╯^╰)╮
After the inhibitor injection, the little nurse took out an alcohol swab and pressed it against Zhong Lin’s shoulder. “Hold this yourself.”
Zhong Lin pitifully held the swab against the needle hole on her shoulder. The stinging pain in her shoulder had not yet disappeared.
“In the future, you must remember to use scent-blocking patches. You must use inhibitors on time, and you must remember your heat period… You’re still young. What if something serious happens?”
The little nurse spoke earnestly. “Omega should protect themselves when they’re out.”
Zhong Lin quickly nodded like pounding garlic. She had caused an accident as soon as she transmigrated into this world. She would never dare forget to change her scent-blocking patch again.
The little nurse pushed the cart away, hiding her achievements and fame.
Estimating that the blood at the needle hole had already stopped, Zhong Lin put down the swab in her hand and stretched her wicked little hand toward the human food on the bedside cabinet~
Opening the plastic bag, Zhong Lin saw a bag of hot, freshly baked stuffed egg waffles and a box of crystal shrimp dumplings!
She took a bite of the egg waffle. The outside was crispy and the inside soft, making Zhong Lin super satisfied. Fragrant and sweet, it tasted exactly like what she had eaten yesterday. Although there was no little ice cream ball, it was still just as delicious! (/ω\)
The Bai Ze cub suddenly no longer missed the days of being sealed—
Because human food was truly too fragrant~
The crystal shrimp dumplings also tasted very good. The thin skin had a nice chew, and the freshness of the shrimp was mixed with a faint salty flavor.
She really liked eating shrimp. At last night’s dinner, Zhong Lin had eaten the entire plate of shrimp with silky egg.
The person who delivered the food had clearly noticed Zhong Lin’s tastes.
There was also a bottle of sweet milk. A sticky note was attached to the outer packaging, the handwriting elegant and pretty, looking very familiar.
—Remember to get your injection, remember to take your medicine, and also…
Eat slowly. Don’t choke to death.
When she saw this line of small words, Zhong Lin, who had been crazily stuffing food into her mouth, paused and almost choked. (:з)∠)
After finishing the food, Zhong Lin threw the leftovers on the bedside cabinet into the trash can, obediently climbed back into bed, and lay down. She pulled over the white quilt and fell sweetly and fragrantly asleep inside the warm blanket.
The time spent being a salted fish was always happy and brief.
“Knock, knock—”
Zhong Lin was once again woken by knocking.
After waking up this time, the drained, powerless feeling had clearly lessened a lot. Her hands and feet were no longer weak and limp. The second strong inhibitor shot the nurse had given her earlier had clearly taken effect.
Her little arm poked out from the soft blanket. Zhong Lin stretched comfortably, lifted the quilt, put on her shoes, and walked to the glass door.
Through the transparent glass door, that person stood in front of the door, stopping the motion of knocking.
Although the days were muggy and hot, the temperature dropped at night. At this moment, Pei Yi was wearing a light khaki short trench coat. Under the incandescent light, the hair falling over her shoulders was dyed with a soft glow.
Her features were deep yet still delicate. Above the edge of her black mask, her nose bridge was straight. Her dark brown eyes looked over faintly, and beneath them there was a faint bluish shadow.
Pei Yi’s expression looked somewhat haggard, as if she had not slept very well last night.
“You’re awake?” Pei Yi’s voice was very soft and not very clear through the glass door.
