A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 31

Zhong Lin and Pei Yi walked out of the downtown Opera and Dance Theater. By now, there were not many audience members left in the hall, and the theater staff were busy clearing the venue.

“Eh?” Zhong Lin walked down the steps and looked around at the edge of the parking lot. “Where’s that car?”

Pei Yi shook her head slightly, sighed, and said helplessly, “They probably left first.”

“It’s my fault for delaying things just now…” Pei Yi sighed and shook her head slightly, her tone sounding a little guilty.

“Sorry.”

Those two words rarely came out of Pei Yi’s mouth.

“It’s okay. We can take a taxi back later.” Zhong Lin raised her hand and lightly patted Pei Yi’s arm, seeming to comfort her a little.

Zhong Lin took out her phone and opened the ride-hailing app. “I’ll call a car. This is the city center, so we should be able to get one.”

“Before that, let’s go to the mall first.” Pei Yi cleared her throat and stopped Zhong Lin just one second before her finger pressed the screen. “Let’s buy Zhu Ying a gift. Isn’t his birthday coming soon?”

Zhong Lin raised her eyes to look at her and suddenly remembered something she had almost forgotten. “Right. We need to buy Brother Ying a gift.”

Zhu Ying had invited everyone to eat fish, after all…

They went to a nearby mall.

After casually walking around for a while, Pei Yi stopped in front of a certain brand counter and chose a wallet and tie for Zhu Ying.

After picking them out, Pei Yi turned around, only to discover that Zhong Lin had disappeared.

For some reason, panic rose in her heart. After hurriedly swiping her card and paying, Pei Yi strode out. Just as she walked through the glass door, a figure came toward her and nearly bumped into her.

Zhong Lin was standing outside the glass door eating ice cream. Her crimson tongue peeked out a little, licking it in small motions. The milky-white cream softened and melted between her lips.

It made one feel a little thirsty just looking at it.

Realizing Pei Yi was looking at her, Zhong Lin stopped eating the ice cream. She lowered her head slightly, lifted her black lashes, and when her light brown eyes looked over, her gaze was innocent.

“The ice cream… is really good.” Zhong Lin held up the ice cream, her voice light and cheerful. There was still a little white milk stain hanging at the corner of her lips.

She gently licked the corner of her mouth. “You’re not eating? I’ll take you to buy one…”

“I don’t want to eat.” Pei Yi’s eyes darkened. The root of her tongue felt dry, and her throat was terribly parched. For some reason, she felt a little thirsty.

Only after a long pause did Pei Yi silently move her gaze away from Zhong Lin’s lips.

“How much was this just now?” Zhong Lin nodded lightly and crunched on the chocolate cone with “kacha kacha” sounds. With her other hand, she reached over, wanting to take the receipt from the bag. “Should we split it?”

Pei Yi’s voice was cold. The hand carrying the two small gift bags pulled back. “No need. It wasn’t much money.”

Zhong Lin gave a low “oh.” She knew Pei Yi was a hidden young rich woman, so she did not insist. Sigh, who made the Bai Ze cub poor? The heroine Alpha was too wealthy… QAQ

“Should we take the elevator down?” Zhong Lin saw the direct elevator not far away.

“Let’s walk a little longer.” Pei Yi stopped, not heading toward the elevator. “Eating ice cream this late, aren’t you afraid…”

—Aren’t you afraid of getting fat?

The two walked side by side. Pei Yi turned her face and saw Zhong Lin, swallowing back the second half of her sentence.

The little girl had thin arms and slender legs. She looked slim and delicate, yet had everything she should have… The delicate curves beneath her goose-yellow shirt, the hem of the shirt tucked into her white pleated skirt, and her waist was so slender, as if one hand could hold it, as if a single arm could pull her completely into an embrace.

Her legs were long, straight, and beautifully shaped.

She was quite thin. Her eating was not restrained, yet she was still so thin.

Sensing Pei Yi’s gaze, Zhong Lin raised her eyes to look at her, her gaze innocent and clear. “What’s wrong?”

She was clearly a twenty-year-old girl, yet she had a face like a little girl’s, so tender it made one want to bully her.

“Nothing.” Pei Yi clenched her fingers, her fingertips digging into her palm, then quickly released them. A faint pain spread through her palm.

The chocolate crispy cone in Zhong Lin’s hand had been completely gnawed bald. She casually threw the paper shell into the trash can.

When she bent down slightly, the white pleated skirt lifted a little, revealing a bit of the layered white lace underwear beneath.

Fuck. Truly tempting.

Pei Yi’s lowered fingers trembled lightly, as if an electric current had shot through her fingertips. Her wrist tingled, and the itchiness rushed straight into her heart.

She could not help glancing at Zhong Lin. “In the future, when you’re wearing a skirt, don’t bend down outside.”

Zhong Lin walked back from the trash can and suddenly heard this sentence. She was a little dazed. Just now, she had bent down to throw away trash. Could it be…

Luckily, there had not been many people around just now.

But Pei Yi had been behind her!! Had she seen it?!

Zhong Lin lowered her head and followed behind Pei Yi, her ears gradually turning red. “I… I’ll pay attention in the future.”

Pei Yi gave an “mm” and walked ahead of Zhong Lin, intentionally or unintentionally guiding Zhong Lin toward a certain direction inside the mall.

Not far away, there was a rather large shop. It was clearly not finished being renovated, and there were boxes placed crookedly here and there. It looked like it had been temporarily rented.

A counter stood outside. Behind the counter sat a staff member holding cards and flyers, tapping the tabletop out of boredom again and again. She looked coldly at the passing pedestrians, appearing like someone passively slacking off while getting paid.

When she saw Pei Yi and Zhong Lin, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Don’t miss it if you pass by! Darts, one yuan per round, one yuan per round~” The woman in a suit walked out from behind the counter, waving an ad flyer in her hand directly toward Zhong Lin and Pei Yi.

“Want to play darts? One yuan per round. The first prize is worth 12,000 yuan. Just hit the ten-ring three times in a row.”

—So cheap it was frightening.

Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and looked at the ad flyer in her hand: Darts. Hit the ten-ring three times in a row to win first prize! Five rings or above wins a participation prize! A ten-thousand-yuan grand prize, waiting for you to take it~

The woman in a suit turned around and quickly picked up a small box of darts from the table, stuffing it into Zhong Lin’s hands. “Come try it!”

Zhong Lin hesitated for a moment and curled her lips. “Not playing.”

Woman in a suit: “…”

“You look like a scammer.” Zhong Lin’s little head worked very quickly. She swiftly stuffed the box and flyer back into the woman in the suit’s hands, then turned around.

She tugged at Pei Yi’s sleeve and was about to leave.

The woman in the suit looked embarrassed. Too embarrassing. She had actually been seen through by this girl in one second! Was her acting really that bad… Was it that obvious?

“Wait. There are security cameras in the mall. She won’t dare do anything to us.” Pei Yi stopped and reached out, taking the box of small darts and handing it to Zhong Lin. “Why not try?”

Pei Yi took out two red bills and casually threw them onto the counter in front of the woman in the suit. “We’ll play.”

Zhong Lin held the box of darts, a little at a loss.

“You don’t know how?” Pei Yi suddenly asked.

Not knowing how was nothing shameful. Zhong Lin answered honestly, “I don’t.”

Pei Yi slowly approached. “Want me to teach you?”

Zhong Lin took a small dart from the box, tightly pinching it between her index and middle fingers. She raised her little arm, then lowered it again, looking troubled. “How do you play this?”

Pei Yi suddenly approached from behind. Her arm wrapped past Zhong Lin’s shoulder, and her hand clasped over Zhong Lin’s right hand. Her long fingers enclosed the back of Zhong Lin’s hand. Pei Yi was a little taller than her, and Zhong Lin was almost completely encircled in her arms.

Her palm was warm and dry, pressed tightly against the back of Zhong Lin’s hand.

“The dart should be level with your eyes. Hold it steady in your hand.”

“Look ahead. When you throw it later, it’ll fall in a curve, so throw it a little higher when releasing.”

When she spoke, her breath was warm, lightly brushing the back of Zhong Lin’s head. A faint tingling spread all the way to the roots of her ears.

Zhong Lin blinked. She smelled a very faint fragrance: the scent of sweet grape sparkling wine, like grapes that had ripened completely, sweet to the point of decadent softness.

Her scalp tingled slightly, and her ears felt a little hot.

This made her feel strange.

“Thank you.” Zhong Lin wanted to break free but did not dare, so she could only say weakly, “I know how to play now.”

“I’ll demonstrate once first.” Pei Yi did not let go. Instead, she guided Zhong Lin to bend her arm and adjusted her movements by hand, slowly and patiently.

Zhong Lin’s arm was guided, suddenly pulled backward. The fingers covering the back of her hand abruptly tightened.

So itchy.

The warm pads of Pei Yi’s fingers lightly brushed across the gaps between her fingers, with force that seemed both present and absent, making her wrist nearly lose strength.

Zhong Lin followed her instructions and swung her arm hard a few times.

“Don’t forget to let go.” Pei Yi spoke lowly by her ear, her warm breath brushing over the shell of Zhong Lin’s ear. Her ear suddenly tingled and became a little hot.

The dart left her hand, cutting through the air with a sharp sound. With a “pa,” it struck the bullseye.

“Pa pa—” The woman in the suit stretched her head to look and wrote a few strokes in her notebook, then raised her arms and clapped, shouting “Good.”

Behind her glasses, the woman in the suit’s eyes curved. Her tone at this moment was somewhat unusually excited, as if the one who had hit the ten-ring were herself. Her whole face was filled with joy. “Amazing! Right in the ten-ring.”

“Congratulations, congratulations! Hit the ten-ring two more times in a row, and you can win the first prize worth ten thousand yuan!”

“Want to continue?” Pei Yi stood behind Zhong Lin and asked softly beside her ear. “I can teach you one more time.”

Pei Yi’s hand lifted again. That hand had well-proportioned bones and flesh, distinct knuckles, and reached straight toward the back of Zhong Lin’s hand…

Zhong Lin frowned slightly and moved one step to the left, completely avoiding Pei Yi’s arm and the hand reaching for her. “I’ve learned it. No need to trouble you.”

Pei Yi gave a low “tsk,” but did not force her. She teased, “That smart?”

“Maybe I don’t fully understand yet.” Zhong Lin picked up a dart. “Let me try a few times first.”

Pei Yi had learned shooting before. Throwing darts was child’s play to her. At such a close distance from the target, bringing Zhong Lin to hit the ten-ring three times in a row would only take minutes.

But Zhong Lin said she had learned it? Throwing darts was similar to shooting; what mattered was feel. After teaching her only once, not missing the target at all would already be good enough.

But since Zhong Lin wanted to play darts, Pei Yi would wait while she played.

Pei Yi stood to the side with her arms crossed, silently studying Zhong Lin’s side profile. She looked very focused.

—Tonight had only just begun, Pei Yi thought. She still had plenty of time to accompany her. In the end, after Zhong Lin failed many times and gave up trying,

wouldn’t it be wonderful if Pei Yi stepped in then?

Zhong Lin raised her hand and held the dart steady. The girl’s expression was focused, and her blinking slowed. Those light brown eyes stared fixedly at the target. Her rosy lips pressed tightly together. She raised her hand and made two gestures in the air.

The dart flew from her hand and, with a “pa,” struck the target.

Pei Yi curved her lips: …Still too inexperienced.

Even her posture was wrong. Way off! Yet she refused to let anyone teach her and insisted she had learned? This little girl was really stubborn.

The woman in the suit pushed up her glasses. “Five rings. Participation prize. Congratulations!”

The second time, Zhong Lin raised her hand. The dart cut through the air and struck the target.

The woman in the suit clapped. “Six rings. Fifth prize! Amazing!”

Pei Yi laughed softly: …She was learning quite fast?

The third time, Zhong Lin picked up another dart, raised it, swung her hand, and released.

Woman in the suit: “Seven rings. Fourth prize!! Congratulations, congratulations!”

Pei Yi frowned slightly and silently took one step toward Zhong Lin. For some reason, she felt that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

Why was there stable improvement every time, and why was it only increasing by one ring each time?

Next, every dart in Zhong Lin’s hand… made Pei Yi raise her brows again and again. She lifted her hand to rub her brow, even suspecting that she had seen or heard wrong.

“Eight rings! Third prize!”

“Nine rings! Second prize!”

“Ten rings!”

“Ten rings!”

“Ten rings! Three consecutive ten-rings… This… this…” The woman in the suit was so shocked at the end that she stuttered a little. The fingers holding her pen trembled lightly, and even the fingertips that pushed her glasses frame were shaking. “First prize!”

The hand holding the notebook trembled slightly. A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in the woman in the suit’s heart—

This little girl’s first five-ring throw had actually not been because she was a rookie, but intentional?

When she first threw the dart, she had deliberately not hit the ten-ring!

After that, each throw got closer and closer to the bullseye, increasing by only one ring each time. She was controlling her score… or rather, she was actually clearing out all the prizes in one go!

The more the woman in the suit thought about it, the more frightened she became. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced toward Pei Yi several times, as if seeking Pei Yi’s opinion.

Pei Yi’s hand hanging at her side clenched into a fist. Her fingernails left crescent-shaped marks in her palm, bringing a sharp sting. She had not expected things to turn out like this. Before she even had the chance to step in… Zhong Lin had cleared out all the gifts by herself?

She had really understood everything after being taught only once? How was that possible…

When Pei Yi had held the back of her hand just now, even her fingers had clearly been trembling. She could not even grip the dart handle firmly. Yet after practicing just once, she had mastered the feel. Even with the wrong posture,

she could actually control her score??

What kind of learning ability was this?

She was simply not human!

Pei Yi’s hand gripped the strap of her crossbody bag very tightly. Several blue veins stood out on the back of her snow-white hand. The depths of her dark brown eyes brightened for an instant, and the tip of her heart trembled. There was a voice in her heart constantly repeating—Zhong Lin, this person really was too interesting…

Starting from zero, she wanted to know Zhong Lin all over again. Starting from the beginning, she wanted to seriously examine this person.

Not only Zhong Lin’s pheromones, that damned pheromone that always tempted people into improper thoughts!

But Zhong Lin herself… this “little drama queen” who had once been “as stupid as a pig”?

Was all of that actually her disguise?

The entertainment company Zhong Lin had signed with had gone bankrupt and entered liquidation. The current Zhong Lin was no longer bound by a script. Then what exactly was her real face like?

—A sense of mystery was the easiest thing to stir an Alpha’s desire to conquer.

Pei Yi did not know that this feeling was a desire to conquer. Looking in Zhong Lin’s direction, her dark brown eyes became very bright, and she felt inexplicably excited.

Yet she did not know why she was so excited.

“How much more is there about you that I don’t know…” Pei Yi murmured softly.

Zhong Lin put down the small paper box containing darts and turned around to look at Pei Yi. Those light brown eyes were very clear and seemed filled with confusion. “What don’t you know?”

Author’s Note:

Zhong Lin: Humans, you know nothing about divine beasts.

Pei Yi: “How much more is there about you that I don’t know?”

Zhong Lin: “You might not believe me if I say it, but I’m actually not human…”

Pei Yi: “Why are you insulting yourself?”

Zhong Lin: (:з)∠)
