A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 27

The camera positioned on a tripod near a potted plant not far away recorded the scene just now—

[I keep feeling like that scene just now had a lot of hidden meaning. Class representative, please explain~]

[It started just now, right? Chu Yunze told Zhong Lin to wash her hands and said the shrimp dumpling packaging bag was dirty. Actually, she knew those frozen shrimp dumplings were bought by Pei Yi, right? Good grief, even our gentle, generous, sweet-cool Sister Yunze has her own little schemes? [/Perverted smile]]

[So when Chu Yunze told Pei Yi “don’t make them,” she actually only wanted Zhong Lin to eat the breakfast she bought and didn’t want Zhong Lin to eat Pei Yi’s shrimp dumplings??]

[—On how I dug a Shura field out of a dating variety show.]

[Oh my god, what did I just see? Getting this early in the morning? I’m wide awake now!]

[But why do I feel like Zhong Lin completely didn’t understand the meaning behind the food?]

[Cub only thinks about work, ads, eating, drinking, and playing. Hahahahaha. To my cub, these Alphas probably aren’t even as important as a little cookie!]

…

When Zhong Lin finished eating her second salted egg yolk lava bun,

the shrimp dumplings were served in front of her.

The shrimp dumpling wrappers were crystal-clear and translucent. Through the crystal dumpling skins, one could see the tender pink shrimp filling inside. Each one was shiny and delicate, as if greeting Zhong Lin—come on, eat me duck~

There were twenty-eight in one bag, and Pei Yi split them neatly into two plates.

When Pei Yi had studied abroad, she had not exaggeratedly brought a nanny and housekeeper with her like some of her classmates.

Overseas, she had been alone, living by herself.

Pei Yi liked the feeling of living alone. During that time, she, who had once never touched housework, gradually learned how to make a few simple dishes.

She had never cooked for anyone else.

Except Zhong Lin.

It was only that when she made French toast for Zhong Lin last time, the way Zhong Lin ate had been too cute.

Pei Yi could not hold back and wanted to steam shrimp dumplings for her.

She also wanted to see her happy while eating and drinking.

This gave Pei Yi an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Shrimp dumplings on the left and steamed buns on the right. Zhong Lin ate with great satisfaction. Her lips opened and closed lightly as she ate in small bites, chewing slowly. One small part of her cheek puffed up like a little hamster.

At the same time, another guest walked over from the end of the living room.

Liang Shan’s gaze slid over the three people at the dining table. “Breakfast is so plentiful today.”

The positions of the three people were very subtle. Chu Yunze was at the other end of the dining table, while Pei Yi was beside Zhong Lin. The two Alpha guests had practically surrounded Zhong Lin’s seat completely.

“There are shrimp dumplings.” Liang Shan picked up the chopsticks on the table and was about to reach for the plate of shrimp dumplings beside Zhong Lin.

The chopsticks reached halfway through the air, but did not pick up a single shrimp dumpling.

The white porcelain plate was pressed down by one hand and moved backward, dodging Liang Shan’s chopsticks.

Pei Yi held the plate down. “Wait…”

“You want to eat this?”

Liang Shan looked confused. “Can’t I?”

In the next instant, the chopsticks in Liang Shan’s hand were taken away. Using Liang Shan’s chopsticks, Pei Yi picked two shrimp dumplings from that plate and dropped them into Liang Shan’s bowl.

Teacher Xiao Pei was suddenly a little stingy today, because a certain little friend’s appetite was a bottomless pit.

With a “pa,” she tossed Liang Shan’s chopsticks back.

“Is that enough?” Pei Yi’s tone carried faint impatience. “If it isn’t, wait until next time.”

Some Alphas were born with an undeniable pressure.

“Enough, enough.” Liang Shan nodded repeatedly. She was very good at reading the room. It seemed both plates of little shrimp dumplings already had owners. Being able to get food from Pei Yi was already not easy…

Chu Yunze pushed several plastic bags on the table forward. “Eat these. I bought a lot, for everyone’s breakfast.”

Liang Shan raised her brows and teased, “This time, there’s no limit?”

“No limit.” Chu Yunze curved her lips in a faint smile. “They aren’t as precious as Teacher Pei’s things.”

Chu Yunze’s voice had always been very gentle, but at this moment, it carried hidden barbs and another meaning.

“They aren’t that expensive… Next time, I’ll buy more. I wasn’t considerate enough before.” Pei Yi let out a light snort, her fingertips pinching the straw tightening slightly.

—Indeed, this time she had lost. A certain supermodel had been more thoughtful. To bring breakfast for one person, she had brought breakfast for everyone.

Afterward, the remaining two guests, Zhu Ying and Zhou Xiaoduo, also came out.

Zhu Ying steadily sat beside Liang Shan. “Looks like we’re eating steamed buns this morning?”

Liang Shan picked up a bottled soy milk from the table and took a sip through the straw. “Brother Ying doesn’t like it?”

“How could that be?” Zhu Ying picked up a meat bun and started eating. “Down-to-earth. I like it.”

Zhou Xiaoduo was the last to arrive in the living room. He had not received a letter last night and had secretly watched the previous episode, only to discover that he had been completely ignored by the production team. Even where he had screen time, it had been edited into jokes and roast points.

The direction of the bullet comments and reviews mostly favored Zhong Lin. In the vast sea of bullet comments, only a few were from his solo fans.

Most hateful of all, Zhong Lin and Pei Yi’s “Yi-Lin CP,” and even Zhong Lin and Chu Yunze’s “Yun-Lin CP” super topics, had once surged up the popularity rankings.

Meanwhile, the popularity of his CP super topics with Chu Yunze and Pei Yi plummeted, dropping several places at once. A few CP fans he had previously seen while lurking—those who shipped “Cloudy” and “One-Week”—had all climbed the wall!!

Cloudy: Chu Yunze x Zhou Xiaoduo.
One-Week: Pei Yi x Zhou Xiaoduo.

That night, Zhou Xiaoduo had been so angry he nearly lost sleep. He only fell asleep close to dawn. This morning, even though he had applied a thick layer of concealer under his eyes, he still could not hide his deep dark circles.

Not to mention the condition of his skin—it had simply become even worse. The acne pits and acne marks on his chin had grown deeper. Foundation, concealer, powder… even with his base makeup applied thickly, it was hard to hide his haggard complexion.

Now seeing Zhong Lin’s face with no foundation applied at all, that little face was so tender it seemed it could break from a puff of air, as soft as a freshly peeled egg. She did not look like a twenty-year-old student at all. She was practically a teenage girl’s “first-love face”…

Zhou Xiaoduo was so hateful his teeth itched. Ever since Zhong Lin had given up wearing that extremely heavy smoky makeup, her looks had completely suppressed his. And ever since Zhong Lin had shut him out last night, he had become even more certain that Zhong Lin had absolutely become smarter!

Zhou Xiaoduo saw that among the remaining seats at the dining table, there was one empty seat beside Pei Yi. With a smile at the corners of his lips, he immediately sat down there.

At this moment, Zhong Lin had already eaten one plate of shrimp dumplings, one lava custard bun, and one meat bun, and had begun dealing with the other plate of shrimp dumplings.

As an artist, Pei Yi had always had a small appetite. After eating a few shrimp dumplings and drinking a bottle of yogurt, she stopped using her chopsticks.

She quietly watched Zhong Lin eat. Occasionally, she would raise her head and glance at Chu Yunze sitting opposite Zhong Lin. Her expression was cold and aloof, like a machine observing dining table culture with no emotions.

Zhou Xiaoduo was holding in his anger and said nothing. He reached out with his chopsticks, aiming to snatch the direction Zhong Lin was about to pick from—the last plump shrimp dumpling.

Pei Yi suddenly reached out and pulled over a plastic bag, just happening to block Zhou Xiaoduo’s chopsticks. “Go eat the buns. Teacher Chu bought a lot. Eat whatever you like.”

The implication was: the shrimp dumplings were already sold out. No eating allowed.

Zhou Xiaoduo’s chopsticks pressed against a white bun through the plastic bag. He curled his lips and took out that bun, which had been poked by his chopsticks and now had a small shallow dent.

Custard buns were sweet and fragrant. Many soft little Omegas liked them very much. But now in Zhou Xiaoduo’s mouth, he only felt they were cloyingly sweet.

—Chu Yunze’s buns naturally could not compare to Pei Yi’s shrimp dumplings in Zhou Xiaoduo’s mouth.

But he still curved his lips in a shallow smile. Raising his eyes to look at Chu Yunze sitting diagonally opposite, his eyes rippled with tenderness, and his voice was soft and sticky. “The custard bun is too delicious. Thank you, Yunze~”

Chu Yunze looked in Zhou Xiaoduo’s direction and did not say much, only nodding. Her attitude was cold, much more distant than before.

During the first episode, Liang Shan had used tarot cards to do a divination for Chu Yunze, saying that Chu Yunze’s “Red Luan star had moved, and peach blossoms would descend.”

At that time, Chu Yunze’s heart and eyes had been full of Zhou Xiaoduo, and she had chosen Zhou Xiaoduo as her heartbeat Omega.

Now that she thought about it, Zhou Xiaoduo had too many little thoughts.

Although Zhou Xiaoduo had not written her a single letter or chosen her as his “heartbeat Alpha,” whenever Chu Yunze spent time with Zhou Xiaoduo, she had always inexplicably felt that Zhou Xiaoduo liked her.

But every time Pei Yi appeared, Zhou Xiaoduo’s closeness toward her would suddenly lessen. It felt as if he were deliberately maintaining some distance, as though afraid Pei Yi would misunderstand?

Zhou Xiaoduo was merely this kind of person. He was not necessarily her “Red Luan star moving”…

Sensing the coldness in Chu Yunze’s tone, Zhou Xiaoduo’s irritation grew even stronger. He swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of iced soy milk, and turned his face to look at Zhong Lin, who was sitting rather far away.

“Xiao Lin has quite a big appetite… I never noticed before.”

A big appetite. On the surface, he meant Zhong Lin ate a lot, but inside, it carried another meaning. He was secretly implying that Zhong Lin wanted to bind both Chu Yunze and Pei Yi at the same time.

—With such a big appetite, hanging two Alphas in one breath, wasn’t she afraid of stuffing herself to death?

Hearing Zhou Xiaoduo’s words, Zhong Lin stopped drinking yogurt. The white straw lightly pressed against her soft lips.

“It is quite big. The elders all said I can eat quite a lot.” Zhong Lin remembered the past from when she was still among the Bai Ze clan. Back then, she really could eat—one little wild boar in one bite, and each little wild boar was stronger than Zhou Xiaoduo.

With Zhou Xiaoduo’s thin little arms and legs, he truly would not even be enough to fill the Bai Ze cub’s teeth.

Zhou Xiaoduo: “…” For some reason, he felt a chill down his back.

Pei Yi held her cheek with one hand and turned her face slightly. Her gaze swept over Zhong Lin’s watery eyes, slid past her small water-drop-shaped nose, and finally focused on Zhong Lin’s lips. The inside seemed to have a bit of white yogurt on it again.

Pei Yi looked at her lips. “You’re still growing…”

“Kid.”

The two words were very light, spoken unconsciously by Pei Yi, adding a touch of ambiguity.

They even sounded a little doting.

Those dark brown eyes dimmed for an instant. Pei Yi suddenly really wanted to rub it away, or rather, kiss her lips hard and hook her into licking away that bit of yogurt.

But Zhong Lin was still a child…

A twenty-year-old child who did not know how tempting she was.

Pei Yi clenched her back teeth and forcefully pulled back her drifting thoughts. What was she thinking…

It was all because of Zhong Lin’s scent, that damned pheromone.

It was damnably sweet, truly hateful.

Zhong Lin had no idea how long Pei Yi’s gaze had stayed on her lips. Her whole heart was focused on eating shrimp dumplings. They truly tasted fragrant.

In fact, Pei Yi had previously ordered them from a hotel. The shrimp meat had only been peeled from fresh, live large sea shrimp yesterday, so it was very fresh. When bitten into, it was slightly sweet and very juicy, the fresh flavor enticing, the texture tender yet springy.

Even without dipping sauce, they were already the ultimate delicacy.

After a few shrimp dumplings entered her stomach, Zhong Lin picked up the yogurt again and drank with great relish.

[I’ve never seen a guest who likes eating this much. As a passerby fan, I want to ask which company’s artist this is? Does she not need body management and diet balance?]

Zhong Lin’s fans, the Little Bells, shed envious tears—

[Zhong Lin is a senior student in university. She’s just a little internet flop, but she’s super cute! Congratulations, brother, on discovering a treasure girl! [Seal clapping.jpg]]

[I don’t think she’s setting up a foodie persona. Ordinary girls can eat this much when they let loose too. But I’ve observed her for a long time—she eats like this almost every meal and is still this thin…]

[Sigh, a constitution that doesn’t get fat no matter how much she eats, and skin that looks like it could break from a puff of air. So jealous. [/Cat crying in the wind]]

[Watching cub eat makes everything look so, so delicious. I’m hungry too. Seriously, I’m holding my school cafeteria breakfast white porridge and crying, TAT.]

Melon-eating passersby passed by—

[Everyone is discussing Zhong Lin. Did no one notice little brother Xiaoduo? Just now, when little brother wanted to eat shrimp dumplings, Pei Yi blocked him with a bun. That scene nearly made me die laughing. I saw Zhou Xiaoduo’s fake smile instantly stiffen~~]

[I saw someone on Doubanjiang App digging up that Zhou Xiaoduo had plastic surgery? So that’s why his face is stiff? The filler in his chin didn’t absorb well, so there are pits?]

Zhou Xiaoduo’s fans snapped back—

[Speechless. Once again taking away our little brother Xiaoduo… Please don’t cue.]

…

After breakfast, everyone discovered the task card placed by the production team on the marble coffee table in the living room.

It had today’s mysterious mission written on it.

After reading this task card, the guests all had different expressions, clearly each with their own thoughts.

For some reason, it felt like the production team was going to cause trouble again.

Author’s Note:
Low EQ — Pei Yi: only bought some shrimp dumplings.

High EQ — Chu Yunze: to bring breakfast for someone, she brought breakfast for everyone.

Summary: Teacher Xiao Pei, you’re no good~
