A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 20

Zhong Lin pushed open the glass door and rushed outside.

Her chest felt a little stuffy, and her eyes felt a little sore. Zhong Lin felt somewhat moved. In the end, all of this was different from the original storyline.

Could it be that Pei Yi was truly willing to be friends with her?

No matter what, she had to thank Pei Yi in person…

The nurse doing rounds walked toward her and almost collided with her.

Zhong Lin asked, “Excuse me… where did the person outside this room just now go?”

The nurse laughed softly. “There are so many people in the hospital every day. How would I know which one you’re talking about?”

“The one with shoulder-length hair, wearing a short trench coat, and a black mask.” Zhong Lin lightly tapped her forehead. After thinking for a moment, she remembered Pei Yi’s outfit today and hurriedly answered.

The nurse looked thoughtful, remembering the figure she had brushed past in the corridor a few minutes ago. Although the other person had been wearing a black mask, one could still tell at a glance that she was definitely a beauty. “Was she tall and thin? Very good-looking?”

Zhong Lin pressed her lips together. A slight walnut-like crease appeared on her chin as she nodded repeatedly.

“She went to the rooftop.” The nurse raised her hand and pointed Zhong Lin in a direction, murmuring softly, “Maybe she went to smoke…”

Before the nurse could finish speaking, Zhong Lin had already stepped in her slippers and run over with “pat, pat” sounds.

The rooftop door was not locked. It was still left slightly ajar. With a “click,” Zhong Lin pushed the door open and entered.

Pei Yi was in one corner of the rooftop, leaning one hand against the iron railing behind her. Her other hand held a slender ladies’ cigarette. A few strands of hair fell loose, covering a small half of her side profile. Her red lips were slightly parted, and curling smoke blurred her beautiful brows and eyes.

The overhead light flickered with a pale white glow.

Her shadow was stretched long and narrow. Behind her was the quiet night.

Public figures were not allowed to smoke in front of the camera. It was a flaw, and even more so a stain on an artist.

Very few people had ever seen Pei Yi smoke. But with just one glance, one would know—

She was a peerless beauty, surpassing countless sights in the mortal world.

At this moment, Pei Yi’s mood was extremely complicated. She did not even know what she was doing or what she should do.

Even when she had posted on Weibo just now, her mind had not been clear.

Zhong Lin had stuck so closely to her before, always clinging to her. Perhaps it was only because of their pheromone compatibility?

Her pheromones had attracted the former Zhong Lin so deeply. Greater than 95%, infinitely close to 100%—

Addicted down to the bone. Absolute attraction.

But the current Zhong Lin, when she had not been in heat before, seemed to have completely lost interest in her?

What was this? A split personality? Was it just because of pheromones? How absurd.

Pei Yi lowered her head halfway. Her dark brown eyes dimmed, and her crimson lips curved at this moment with a mocking smile.

The one with a problem was not Zhong Lin, but herself.

That night, surrounded by Zhong Lin’s pheromones, only Pei Yi herself knew how maddening that sweet, cloying Omega scent had been. Malice had coursed through her blood and bones. She had wanted to completely invade the Omega before her, forcibly possess her, tear apart that thin layer of fabric entirely…

She had smelled many Omegas deliberately releasing pheromones before, yet none had ever made her itch unbearably like that night, that maddening itch that clawed at her heart and lungs.

It was a physiological reaction. That indescribable desire came from instinct. When she had been alone in the room with Zhong Lin, wicked thoughts had grown wildly in her heart.

She wanted to pull this person into her arms, hold her tightly and fiercely, bite through the gland at the back of her neck, inject her own pheromones into her blood, and finally open her up, thoroughly possess her, making her into an Omega marked for life.

Her Omega.

Pei Yi clenched her back teeth tightly.

That malicious desire…

How disgusting.

What Pei Yi did not know was that “addicted down to the bone, absolute attraction” also applied to her, an Alpha who had been single for more than twenty years.

This was normal. Mutual attraction based on pheromone compatibility was the nature between Alpha and Omega. It was not anything shameful.

A young girl’s voice sounded beside her ear. “Pei Yi? Cough, cough…”

Pei Yi’s heart clenched. A cigarette was held between her crimson lips as she slowly exhaled. White smoke rose and fell, blurring her seductive eyes. Her thin jawline appeared faintly through it.

In one corner of the rooftop, Zhong Lin stood opposite her, leaning against a pale white wall.

There was only one step between them.

“Cough, cough…” Zhong Lin raised a hand to cover her mouth and nose. The corners of her eyes were red, and her eyes were watery. She coughed from being choked by the smoke, her chest rising and falling slightly.

The smell of smoke was so strong.

Pei Yi furrowed her brows, the emotions in her eyes unclear. She raised a hand and removed the cigarette from her mouth. At the tip of her nose, she could smell that cream-tangerine scent.

Faintly, it was the Omega’s pheromones, teasing her nerves as if present and absent.

Even with a scent-blocking patch on, Pei Yi could still smell Zhong Lin’s scent. Although it was weak, it still teased her reason thread by thread. It was as if fire had swept through her, and irritation rose wildly in her heart.

“Clang—”

With a muffled sound, a slender arm slammed against the wall behind Zhong Lin. The wall that was struck shed a scattering of white dust.

Pei Yi released the railing she had been leaning on. Her elbow pressed against the wall beside Zhong Lin’s face, and her body leaned toward Zhong Lin. The overhead light shone from behind her, and her long shadow enveloped the girl’s petite body.

Pei Yi was taller than her… by about the height of one head. At such a close distance, Zhong Lin timidly raised her head and met those dark brown eyes. There was a kind of Alpha pressure in them that made her heart tighten, a suffocating heaviness as though she could not breathe.

The hand holding the cigarette was propped beside Zhong Lin’s head. Pei Yi’s long fingers slid down from the cigarette holder, and her fingertip ruthlessly pinched the glowing cigarette butt. Sparks scattered in all directions.

Like a brief burst of pale golden fireworks, they fell onto the open space between the two of them. One spark landed beside their feet, flickered twice, and went out.

The cigarette was completely extinguished.

Pei Yi’s voice sounded faintly beside Zhong Lin’s ear, carrying the light scent of tobacco. She lowered her head and leaned close to Zhong Lin’s ear. Her voice was low, a little hoarse, with a heavy undertone.

“I told you not to come near me again.”

“When you’re like this…” Pei Yi’s words paused for an instant.

Zhong Lin could not help shrinking her neck. As Pei Yi spoke, the warm breath she exhaled brushed over the skin of Zhong Lin’s neck exposed above her shirt collar, making it itch slightly.

Pei Yi was too close.

Zhong Lin felt somewhat at a loss. She did not really like such a close distance.
