A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 22
When Zhong Lin woke up, the folding bed by the door had already been put away.
Pei Yi had left long ago.
There was a plastic bag on the bedside cabinet. Inside the meal boxes were crystal shrimp dumplings and lava custard buns.
Zhong Lin happily grabbed a shrimp dumpling and tossed it into her mouth. Fresh shrimp and minced meat rolled across her lips and tongue, the savory taste dancing over her taste buds.
When she searched to the very bottom of the plastic bag, she found there was also a bottle of pasteurized fresh milk. A sticky note was attached to the plastic bottle—
Looking forward to your performance. See you tomorrow.
Zhong Lin shivered in fright, instantly feeling that the shrimp dumpling in her mouth was no longer fragrant.
She had slept so sweetly and completely forgotten that she had to return to the villa tomorrow to record the show! She had to be caught between the heroine Alpha and the male lead Omega again, struggling to survive.
Zhong Lin: …Life is too hard, QAQ~
For the entire day, Zhong Lin had nothing to do, so she went through the original plot by herself and repeatedly confirmed her survival rules: do everything opposite to the original “Zhong Lin.”
The “Zhong Lin” in the original book was self-centered, did not work, loved dissing others, and crazily threw herself at Pei Yi.
Zhong Lin had to work, listen to the director, not speak badly of others, and refuse to bind herself to Pei Yi for clout…
She would be a hardworking, brave Bai Ze cub who rolled up her sleeves and worked hard! o(^▽^)o
The next morning, Zhong Lin went for her follow-up consultation. Today, she was wearing an off-shoulder pale yellow dress that made her skin look especially fair.
Inside a certain consultation room, Zhong Lin had just had a tube of blood drawn. She pressed a cotton swab over the needle hole on her arm with one hand. Her unexpected heat period had already completely passed, and her secondary differentiation had stabilized. This was her final follow-up visit.
“Body temperature, heart rate, organ function, pheromones…”
“All normal.”
The doctor waved the lab report in her hand and raised her eyes to look at the lonely Zhong Lin. A cold glint flashed across her gold-rimmed glasses. “Where is your Alpha? Why didn’t she come with you?”
Zhong Lin looked confused. “What Alpha?”
The doctor raised a finger and pushed up the frame of her glasses, asking in confusion, “The person who accompanied you here before. She isn’t coming with you today?”
“But she isn’t mine…” Zhong Lin murmured softly. “She has her own work.”
“Some Alphas are just like that. They never consider their lover’s feelings.” The doctor shook her head and began talking nonstop, as if venting her own resentment. “Looks like the one in your family didn’t even give you a temporary mark.”
“Once an Omega becomes an adult, they should be marked as early as possible, especially an RH01-type Omega like you. Your constitution is quite special, and your pheromones are too effective. Too many inhibitor injections aren’t good for the body…”
Zhong Lin’s face grew hotter and hotter, and even the roots of her ears turned red. Only then did she realize what the doctor meant.
They clearly were not in that kind of relationship.
The Bai Ze cub had never been this shy before. Her fair cheeks became pink and fluffy, like a tender little peach.
Zhong Lin was both embarrassed and anxious. Even her words became a little halting. “We… we actually aren’t in that kind of relationship.”
The doctor stopped muttering and looked at Zhong Lin with pity in her eyes. This patient named “Zhong Lin” had clearly had someone stay with her last night, and in the previous test report, they had even detected that her body surface was contaminated with the pheromones of a certain top-tier Alpha.
And the compatibility between their pheromones was extremely high.
The Alpha was pretending the pheromones did not belong to her, while the Omega was still speaking up for her irresponsible Alpha.
—What a pair of devoted A and resentful O! An old-fashioned love story!
The doctor lifted her eyelids. Those eyes of hers had seen countless things and had long since seen through everything. At this moment, she stared deeply at Zhong Lin. “Forget it.”
“Jiayou. I wish you happiness.”
Wish her happiness?? Was she unhappy?
Zhong Lin immediately became a little dazed. She lifted the corners of her lips into a professional smile. “Thank you. I wish you happiness too.”
It felt like the two of them were almost about to pull out middle-aged and elderly emoji packs—
A swaying red wine glass, cheers to our friendship, good morning my friend~
After walking out of the hospital entrance, Zhong Lin opened her phone and searched on a certain digital map for how to get to the filming base.
That place was a bit remote. The phone map showed that she would need to take the subway, transfer to a bus, and then walk, but the trip would take quite a long time, estimated at about two hours. Or she could take a taxi, but the fare would be nearly two hundred.
Zhong Lin instantly became a little panicked. Although the Bai Ze cub feared poverty, she feared being late even more, because that would make her already terrible reputation stink even more, rotten upon rotten.
She opened a certain ride-hailing app and was just about to press the call button.
“Beep beep—”
A car horn sounded beside her ear.
Zhong Lin raised her eyes from the phone screen and saw a milky-white “deformed human mount.” Unlike other human mounts, this one was longer in the front and shorter in the back, and it did not even have a cover.
It was a Bentley supercar parked beside the hospital entrance, flashing one blinker in Zhong Lin’s direction. It looked a little flashy.
Zhong Lin lowered her head and continued selecting the starting point and destination on the ride-hailing app, inwardly feeling that the “human mount” must have gone crazy. It roared so loudly, and the sound was unpleasant too.
The Bentley supercar’s engine ran at high speed, releasing a low, thunderous roar. Like a gust of wind, it shot over to the roadside beside Zhong Lin.
The woman took off her sunglasses, stretched an arm across the car door, and waved. “Zhong Lin?”
Zhong Lin raised her head and saw a familiar face.
Pei Yi seemed to have deliberately dressed up today. Her shoulder-length black hair was tucked behind her ear, and delicate fan-shaped earrings hung from her earlobes. Mother-of-pearl diamonds sparkled brilliantly. She raised her eyes casually, and beneath her long lashes was a pair of soul-hooking eyes, the corners slightly upturned.
Her seductive charm was wrapped in heroic sharpness, carrying an Alpha’s wanton confidence.
“Thank you for coming to pick me up!” Zhong Lin waved at her happily. The reason she was happy was that she could save the taxi fare. The charge for riding a “human mount” once was quite high, and the little money consumed could be exchanged for many delicious little snacks.
The sports car’s door slid upward from the side like a small wing stretched out horizontally.
Zhong Lin sat inside and let out a tiny cry of surprise. Although this human mount did not have a skull, it had wings? Maybe it could fly too? (:з)∠)
“Can it fly?” Zhong Lin asked softly.
Her voice was too quiet, and Pei Yi did not hear what she had just said clearly. “Mm? What did you say?”
Zhong Lin tilted her head down, seemingly observing the car door. Then she reached out, bent her fingers, and carefully knocked on it. “Is this a wing? Can it fly?”
“Fly?” Pei Yi curled her lips and put her sunglasses back on.
“If you can fly, then it can fly.” The corners of Pei Yi’s lips lifted slightly, her tone carrying a bit of teasing.
As expected of the “magical animal” Zhong Lin’s magical remarks…
In the past, Pei Yi’s image in the entertainment industry had always been that of a cold, aloof beauty. She had always forcibly suppressed her emotions.
The real Pei Yi actually had very mild manic-depressive tendencies.
But when she stayed with this “magical” Zhong Lin, the manic gloom in her heart lessened somewhat.
It was like someone who had been suppressed for a long time one day stepped onto cotton. That floating feeling was intoxicating.
The Bentley supercar started, and the low roar of the engine sounded again.
Zhong Lin murmured softly, “I used to be able to fly…” when she was still in the original body of a Bai Ze cub.
This sentence was drowned out by the sound of the engine, so Pei Yi once again did not hear it clearly. She turned her head and looked ahead, casually explaining, “I didn’t come here specially to pick you up. I’m just giving you a ride along the way.”
“Don’t think too much…” Pei Yi continued emphasizing.
“Okay.” Zhong Lin nodded. She turned her head and smiled brightly at Pei Yi. Her transparent eyes, like glass beads, reflected the sunlight, clear and carrying a young girl’s transparency. “But thank you anyway~ Teacher Pei.”
Zhong Lin was actually happy. She deliberately called Pei Yi that, softly and stickily saying “Teacher Pei.”
Because last night, she had discovered that Pei Yi seemed to like the title “Teacher Pei” a little.
Perhaps because of the aftereffects of her heat period, Zhong Lin’s voice was sticky, like the milky voice of a baby animal.
Pei Yi’s body paused, and for some reason, her heart tingled. Her fingers gripping the steering wheel suddenly tightened.
Her sunglasses hid her eyes, leaving only her straight nose bridge and red lips as beautiful as fire, along with the taut line of her jaw and long neck. From the side, she looked as exquisite as an oil painting.
She had heard “Teacher Pei” and “Teacher Xiao Pei” so many times before, but this was the first time she had felt this strange feeling, as if a kitten’s paw had lightly scratched her heart. A faint itch spread.
This feeling was somewhat subtle.
The car drove very fast. At the tip of her nose, she faintly smelled a very weak sweet fragrance, like tangerine-flavored cream. It was a fresh, non-cloying sweetness.
Pei Yi frowned slightly. This was the first time her sensitivity to Omega pheromones had been this high. Their pheromone compatibility was too high. Even through the scent-blocking patch, she could still smell the pheromone scent coming from the Omega beside her.
The dark brows that had originally furrowed smoothed out. Pei Yi felt that she had figured it out.
All the abnormalities were nothing more than pheromones causing trouble. It was instinct.
An hour later, the car arrived at the villa district.
When they drove near a certain villa nearby, Zhong Lin suddenly said, “Here is fine. I can walk the rest of the way myself.”
Pei Yi lifted her chin slightly and felt somewhat surprised. Did Zhong Lin not want the others to know they had come together?
Her heart felt empty, and Pei Yi felt an inexplicable sense of loss. But she still followed Zhong Lin’s request, parked nearby, and let Zhong Lin get out.
After getting out, Zhong Lin carried her small crossbody bag and, in a flash, circled around several villas before arriving at their cohabitation filming base.
A white fence surrounded the large detached villa. Roses bloomed in profusion, and everything was as beautiful as when she had first arrived here.
The other guests had already arrived and were currently sitting in the living room.
Zhong Lin pushed open the door and put down her canvas crossbody bag in the entryway. She was just about to change into her slippers.
Someone walked over from the living room.
Zhou Xiaoduo was holding a small bottle of Youyiduo yogurt milk. He had originally wanted to bring it over to “Pei Yi,” but when he saw that the person who had arrived was actually Zhong Lin, his arm froze in midair, and a flash of disappointment crossed his face.
“You’re back?” Zhou Xiaoduo teased softly, his tone secretly carrying the scent of lemons. “Little star.”
When Zhou Xiaoduo called Zhong Lin “little star,” he bit especially hard on those three words… It sounded strange.
“Haha~” Zhong Lin did not care at all about Zhou Xiaoduo’s increasingly stiff smile, nor did she bother thinking about the meaning behind Zhou Xiaoduo’s sarcastic remark just now.
“Good morning, Xiaoduo.” She reached out and took that small bottle of yogurt. “Thank you for the milk.”
Zhou Xiaoduo: “…” Hehe.
For the past two days, Zhong Lin had not paid much attention to Weibo. She had no idea what the recent public opinion trends were like.
Naturally, she also did not know the reason Zhou Xiaoduo was sour toward her—
