A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 28

“Last night, two heartbeat connections were successfully formed, so today we’ll have the first group date.” Chu Yunze picked up the card and read in a warm voice.

“Since today is Monday, the guests may spend the daytime busy with work, but at seven o’clock this evening, remember to gather at the downtown Opera and Dance Theater!”

So the mysterious group date was going to watch a musical together.

But the card had deliberately pointed out that two pairs of guests had already exchanged letters with each other, forming two heartbeat connections.

Did that mean the production team intended to group them according to the already-formed heartbeat connections?

Then what would happen to the guests left alone?

[Finally, two pairs of AO guests mutually sent letters! A universal celebration! Why don’t I know which two pairs? Has my house collapsed or not? [/Bitter][Curious cat question mark.jpg]]

[The second episode was already released on Aiqiqi Video at seven this morning! Did everyone forget to watch it?]

[Diligent class representative: Yesterday, two heartbeat connections were formed—Pei Yi x Zhong Lin mutually sent letters, and Zhu Ying x Liang Shan mutually sent letters. Chu Yunze received 1 letter. Zhou Xiaoduo received 0 letters.]

[Deng deng deng deng~ Congratulations to “Yi-Lin CP” and “Liang-Zhu CP”!!]

[My heart aches for Sister Yunze, wuwuwu QAQ.]

[Taking away little brother Xiaoduo, crying TAT.]

…

Zhu Ying slapped his forehead. These past few days, he had finally received a reply after sending letters to Liang Shan, and he had almost forgotten his own birthday, as well as the matter of advertising his family business. “Wait a minute, don’t leave yet, everyone. There’s something I haven’t said…”

“I forgot to tell everyone. My birthday is in two days. When the time comes, all of you should come to South Suburb Ocean World to have fun!”

“Or South Suburb Fishing Club, South Suburb Shenghao Fishing Hall, or the nearby ocean-themed restaurant would work too! I do finance there, so I get an employee discount.”

Zhu Ying smiled honestly. He looked like the foolish son of a major fish-farming household, but he actually was not stupid at all. In front of the camera, he clearly read out the shop names and advertised extremely naturally. “I’ll take everyone to raise fish, look at fish, and eat fish up close…”

“Don’t forget to come!”

Everyone nodded one after another.

“Brother Ying’s birthday? How could we not go?”

“Don’t worry, when the time comes, we’ll slaughter you hard and eat your family’s fish pond clean!”

…

Hearing that there would be fish to eat, Zhong Lin also silently nodded along.

Slurp~ It sounded delicious.

In the end, everyone waved goodbye. It was Monday, and most of the guests had to go separately to work or study during the day.

Zhong Lin also picked up the small crossbody bag on the sofa and walked out the villa gate.

Today’s special plotline was returning to school. As a senior student, she had to finish classes, calculate credits, and complete many procedures.

The original plotline had completely ignored this part. After all, the original “Zhong Lin” was only a cannon fodder supporting female character, like a clown jumping around.

In the original story, ever since “Zhong Lin” entered the production team of Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge, she had had no mood to return to school. She did not even complete the graduation procedures for the second semester of senior year.

Moreover, the original “Zhong Lin” even forgot to attend her thesis defense.

In the end, because she did not finish the procedures and her counselor could not contact her, she did not even receive her graduation certificate. This later became a point netizens used to mock and attack her.

Tragic. Too tragic.

These days, Zhong Lin had always returned to her room very early, and after entering, she did not come out again for the whole night.

That was because the Bai Ze cub had been frantically catching up on the contents of the original “Zhong Lin’s” four years of university major courses.

Fortunately, she studied business, and the main courses could be self-studied through strong comprehension and learning ability.

And the Bai Ze divine beast had perception and divinity. No matter what knowledge it was, she could “understand with one hint and grasp related ideas by analogy.”

With the remaining time, she even self-studied a bit of programming language and used econometric software to improve the original “Zhong Lin’s” graduation thesis model.

She also applied in the graduation thesis system to submit a second “final draft.”

Today, Zhong Lin had to return to school for her thesis defense. She lowered her head and glanced at her phone. It was not even eight yet, and there was still a long time before the defense.

However, the villa district was not close to the subway station. She had to take three bus stops first.

Some of the other guests did not need to go to work and chose to stay in the villa; some had company cars specially sent to pick them up…

Zhong Lin left the villa alone. After walking for a while, she stopped at the bus stop.

She sat alone on the long bench at the stop, placed her canvas crossbody bag on her lap, and beneath her white pleated skirt, her round knees were obediently pressed together. She took out a folder containing the graduation thesis she had printed earlier when she had time.

The early summer wind blew past. The ends of her hair hanging on her shoulders lifted and then fell back onto her pale yellow shirt. Zhong Lin quietly read her thesis. Those light brown eyes stared at the A4 paper inside the folder, and her cherry-pink lips moved slightly twice.

Her brown calfskin shoes quietly stepped on the ground.

When Zhong Lin was thinking deeply, she looked very serious. Her quiet, charming appearance was like a girl walking out of an oil painting.

“Beep beep—”

A car stopped in front of the bus stop.

Pei Yi seemed to have realized that her previous car was too flashy, so today she had switched to a dark blue Cayenne, a relatively low-key model. In the future, it could also fit a few more people when grocery shopping.

The car window rolled down, revealing Pei Yi’s exquisite side profile. She raised a hand and half removed her sunglasses. “Shall I drive you?”

“I can just take the subway.” Zhong Lin placed the folder back into her canvas bag and waved her little hand, tactfully refusing Pei Yi’s kindness.

Pei Yi paused for an instant, then continued, “Then I’ll take you to the subway station?”

Zhong Lin rested both hands on the canvas bag on her knees, shook her head slightly, and said obediently and sensibly, “I can take the bus. There’s no need to trouble you…”

Pei Yi did not speak. She only quietly stared at her. In those dark brown eyes, there was even a hint of… sadness?

—For some reason, she felt a little lost, as if she had been disliked.

“It’s on the way,” Pei Yi asked softly, her fingers around her sunglasses curling slightly. “Won’t you get in?”

Zhong Lin’s face reddened a little, and she gave a low “mm.”

Thus, she was driven to the subway station by a Cayenne.

When she was about to get out, Zhong Lin put on a mask. After all, she was now a slightly famous eighteenth-tier little internet flop~

A pair of fair, slender legs stepped out of the car. It was a cute and delicate-looking little girl in a pale yellow shirt and pleated skirt, a simple student outfit.

“Bang—” Zhong Lin closed the car door and waved to the person inside. “Thank you~”

The petite girl walked down the stairs of the subway station with light steps.

This attracted the sidelong glances of passersby. Rich people actually worked as ride-hailing drivers too? Was this person experiencing life?

Pei Yi, sitting in the driver’s seat, felt her nose itch and sneezed.

…

After riding the subway for more than thirty minutes, Zhong Lin arrived at the station near the university.

Carrying her bag, Zhong Lin opened her phone navigation and walked all the way to the gates of Zhongda.

“Zhong Lin?” Someone called her from behind.

Zhong Lin turned around and saw a somewhat cute round-faced girl.

“You are…” Zhong Lin’s tone hesitated for an instant. A flash of inspiration passed through her mind, and she quickly identified this as the original “Zhong Lin’s” university roommate, Li Shasha.

“Shasha, long time no see.” Zhong Lin removed her mask. A smile spread across her cheeks, and her lips lifted lightly, revealing several white pearly teeth. Her long eyelashes slowly fluttered, and she smiled sweetly and obediently.

Li Shasha stepped forward and held her arm. She looked into Zhong Lin’s eyes and smiled with relief. “You finally fulfilled your dream. Congratulations!”

Zhong Lin was instantly dazed. “Fulfilled my dream?”

“The few study bitches who looked down on you before said you entered the entertainment industry and skipped class every day, probably didn’t even want your degree anymore, and that the person who would get failed in the official defense would probably be you. But the teachers in the defense group just said in the group chat that they want to choose your graduation thesis as a model thesis. How did I never discover before that your econometrics was that good? You can even write code…”

Li Shasha’s mouth kept talking. Although the original Zhong Lin had signed with a company in junior and senior year and rarely lived on campus, she remembered that this roommate named Li Shasha talked the most and was also the most enthusiastic person. “Most importantly, you finally got a little popular. Everyone in our department knows you’re an internet celebrity now. Sometimes the cafeteria even plays the ads you recorded.”

Zhong Lin raised a hand and lightly scratched her neck. “Ads?”

What Zhong Lin did not know now was that those advertisers had once again edited the commercial lines she had read on the show into advertisements one by one and had specially transferred money into her account, adding a lot of extra advertising fees. Once she opened her account and notification panel, she would definitely be shocked.

“That’s not important. What’s important is…” Li Shasha chuckled and raised her brows, revealing a funny smile. “Which Alpha guest do you like the most?”

Zhong Lin immediately fell silent. Which Alpha did she like?

At the beginning, she had paid more attention to Zhu Ying. That male Alpha was covered in muscular tendons growing horizontally and looked very suitable for hunting. But during the initial heartbeat pick, she had mistakenly chosen Chu Yunze.

Chu Yunze’s appearance was sweet-cool, tall with long legs, a supermodel sister nicknamed “Leg Fairy,” yet she had unexpected gentleness. At several moments, she really could make one’s heart warm.

But Zhong Lin was not very sure whether she really liked Chu Yunze, nor whether the person writing letters to her every day was truly Chu Yunze.

As for Pei Yi, Zhong Lin would rather be left with no match in the final “heartbeat mutual selection” than actively leech off Pei Yi’s popularity.

Truly, the Bai Ze cub had deeply realized the sinister nature of human society. She had been scolded until she was scared.

Zhong Lin did not dare casually answer Li Shasha’s question.

“It seems like there isn’t anyone.” Zhong Lin lightly pressed her lips together. Her chin wrinkled slightly as she murmured softly.

Li Shasha sighed. “Then who treats you the best and interacts with you the most?”

Without thinking, Zhong Lin said, “Pei Yi.”

Li Shasha’s eyes became a little ambiguous.

Zhong Lin suddenly had an ominous premonition. She looked behind Li Shasha and saw a follow-cameraman deliberately hiding in the shade of the trees.

Li Shasha’s smile gradually became meaningful. “Ah, the Best Actress’s delicate little wife. If one of us becomes rich…”

Before she could finish, Zhong Lin hurriedly pounced over, wanting to firmly cover Li Shasha’s mouth. “Don’t say it.”

Li Shasha dodged to the side. “All right, I won’t say it.”

Zhong Lin hurriedly looked at the camera and waved to the follow-cameraman and production staff. “Cut this part out.”

The follow-cameraman tapped his own ear: …What did you say? I didn’t hear anything.

The CP fans were ecstatic—

[We heard it!!!]

[Ahhhhhhhh, so excited I’m screaming like a chicken!!]

[AWSL, I shipped it. My house did not collapse! [/Heart][/Heart]]

[Sister Yunze, forgive me for climbing the wall for a while, QAQ.]

Pei Yi’s solo fans expressed their opinions—

[Emmmm, how should I say this? Stirring CP is a necessary segment in dating variety shows, but I still hope Pei Yi can be beautiful alone, truly. But if she really has to stir CP, I also feel that the current Zhong Lin is still acceptable…]

Zhong Lin’s fan group, the “Little Bells,” were unhappy. Some solo fans immediately exploded—

[Speechless. What do you mean, cub is also acceptable? Please, E fans, have some self-respect. This time, cub hasn’t thrown herself at your Yiyi at all!!]

[+1. Didn’t you see cub was about to explain, and even told the production team to cut it out? She doesn’t want to stir CP with your main idol at all.]

…

Zhong Lin hurriedly walked a few steps closer and explained to the camera:

“Don’t misunderstand. Pei Yi treats me very well, Yunze treats me well too, Xiaoduo is my friend, Liang Shan is also my friend, and Brother Ying is the comedy担当. Everyone is my good friend…”

Zhong Lin tried hard to wash away the suspicion that she was binding herself to Pei Yi for hype. “What I said just now was purely unintentional. I really don’t mean anything else.”

“Also, Pei Yi’s pheromones… the scent really isn’t that suitable for me. I prefer something a bit milder.” Zhong Lin lied. She had once been seduced by Pei Yi’s pheromones until her heart throbbed, but now she had no choice but to lie.

A staff member could not help asking, “Then what kind of scent do you like?”

“For example, chocolate flavor.” Zhong Lin began talking nonsense, seemingly trying hard to steer this question in a strange direction. “Or strawberry flavor, vanilla flavor, custard bun flavor… or shrimp dumpling flavor…”

These were all things she liked to eat.

The camera shook slightly. The follow-cameraman’s hand could not help trembling. He had not expected this Omega guest’s answer to be so fresh and unconventional. It was simply outrageous.

The phone vibrated lightly. Pei Yi’s hand holding the phone could not help trembling slightly. She had not expected Zhong Lin to answer like this.

At this moment, Pei Yi was in a pharmacy. She had just opened the livestream app on her phone and switched to Zhong Lin’s channel, only to see this scene.

Zhong Lin said her pheromones were not suitable…

The bullet comments frantically flooded the screen—

[Holy crap, did I stand the wrong CP?!]

[Sister Yunze has hope now! Happy! [/Clapping hands]]

[I stand Pei Yi x Zhong Lin, “Yi-Lin CP, body and soul united.” Cub, be happy. Mama is crying a storm, QAQ.]

…

Her long fingers lightly tapped twice on the pharmacy’s glass counter. Pei Yi’s handsome and beautiful face now showed a subtle change. Her dark brows furrowed lightly.

“Teacher Xiao Pei.” The pharmacist came out from the warehouse, carrying Pei Yi’s custom colorless and odorless blocking agent, and handed it to Pei Yi across the counter. “Your spray-type blocking agent.”

Pei Yi nodded and accepted the spray-type blocking agent. “Two boxes of scent-blocking patches too.”

The pharmacist took scent-blocking patches from the shelf behind her.

After Pei Yi swiped her card and prepared to leave the pharmacy, her hand pushing against the glass door suddenly paused. She lowered her hand and turned around. Her gaze stopped on the weighing scale on the pharmacy wall—

And the vending machine beside it.

Inside this vending machine were all kinds of AO products, all common mass-market goods, such as spray-type isolation agents, scent-blocking patches, injectable inhibitors, tablet inhibitors…

Pei Yi walked over, her gaze sweeping across a certain row of shelves. As if bewitched, she raised her phone and scanned the payment code.

“Gululu—”

A bottle of spray-type isolation agent rolled out from the bottom of the vending machine.

Chocolate flavored.

Pushing open the pharmacy’s glass door, Pei Yi returned to the Cayenne parked by the roadside. Sitting in the driver’s seat, she tossed the plastic bag in her hand onto the seat beside her.

But very quickly, she leaned over, took out that chocolate-colored blocking agent, and shook the bottle up and down in her hand.

“Hiss—”

The spray mist shot out from the nozzle and evenly fell onto Pei Yi’s beige suit dress.

The car filled with a rich chocolate scent.

Seeming to have been provoked by this scent, Pei Yi leaned back and raised a hand to pinch the space between her brows. “Really…”

“Bewitched.”

She raised her hand and slammed it hard against the steering wheel. With a “beep,” the car horn sounded sharply.

Pei Yi tightly gripped the can of isolation spray in one hand. The aluminum can was squeezed until one part caved in. With the other hand, she opened the car door and walked a few steps to the trash can by the roadside.

With a “dong,” the blocking agent that had only been sprayed once was thrown into the trash can.

Pei Yi sat back in the driver’s seat. With a “pa,” she fastened the seatbelt buckle.

The phone placed on the magnetic holder in front vibrated.

“Ding—”

The notification sound was crisp. She received a notification.

Pei Yi stared at the phone screen, her brows tightly furrowed, only because she saw two characters in the final line of the notification—

“Zhong Lin.”
