A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 33

Zhou Xiaoduo was exhausting every possible effort to probe what cards the others had drawn. He definitely wanted to achieve his own goal by exchanging cards.

Zhong Lin was too lazy to play word games with him. In any case, the director had not said whether they could reveal the cards they drew or not. Besides, to the Bai Ze cub, where they went tomorrow, who she went with, and what they played—was there any difference?

Although she did have a tiny, tiny bit of desire to go play with her newly made rich-woman friend, Pei Yi.

(:з」∠)

“See for yourself.” Zhong Lin flipped over the card in her hand. The front of the card had the words “So Sweet” written on it.

Now the cards in the three Omega guests’ hands had all been revealed.

Zhong Lin = “So Sweet”
Zhou Xiaoduo = “So Beautiful”
Liang Shan = “So Fragrant”

Zhou Xiaoduo looked at the card in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at the card in Zhong Lin’s hand. He suddenly felt a little hesitant inside, but still opened his mouth. “Can you switch with me? I kind of want ‘So Sweet.’”

Zhong Lin tilted her head and looked at him. “Why?”

“Because…” Zhou Xiaoduo did not know how to phrase it. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I feel like ‘So Sweet’ probably won’t be as fun as ‘So Beautiful’… Don’t you like playing? Maybe my card suits you better.”

Good grief. Clearly, Zhou Xiaoduo himself wanted to switch cards… He wanted to guess the thoughts of the Alpha guests opposite them based on the cards.

But in Zhou Xiaoduo’s mouth, it became him considering Zhong Lin, so he wanted to actively exchange cards.

Zhou Xiaoduo spoke with conviction. “If we switch, it suits both of us, right?”

Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “I do like playing. ‘So Beautiful’ should be a more fun place.”

Zhou Xiaoduo’s eyes curved in a smile, and he reached out to touch Zhong Lin’s card…

His hand reached halfway through the air, only to grab nothing.

Zhong Lin immediately covered her own card with her hand and took it back from the table.

“What you said makes sense, but I’m not switching.” Zhong Lin stood up and left.

“‘So Sweet’ should be something tasty. I super like sweets.” Zhong Lin did not want to keep chatting with Zhou Xiaoduo. Her schedule had been too full today, and she felt a little tired. She did not go in circles, instead saying directly,

“I’m not switching with you.”

Zhou Xiaoduo looked at Zhong Lin’s departing back and curled his lips. He felt like his lungs were about to be blown apart from anger at Zhong Lin. If there had not been cameras pointed at him, his eyes probably would have rolled all the way to the sky.

Zhou Xiaoduo grabbed his own card and rushed straight toward the front courtyard where the Alphas had gathered.

In the end, Zhou Xiaoduo pounced on empty air. The three Alpha guests were no longer there. After drawing their cards, each of them had returned to their rooms without delay.

Zhou Xiaoduo thought of how he had knocked on Pei Yi’s and Chu Yunze’s doors before. Later, those two Alphas had either been too lazy to open the door for him, or had only opened it a crack to perfunctorily deal with him, clearly not wanting to let him in.

The footage of Zhou Xiaoduo knocking on doors had even been edited into a ghost-animal video by netizens on Bilibili, with a soulful rap line added—

“Zhong Lin, open the door~ If you have the nerve to steal Alphas, you have the nerve to open the door! Zhong Lin, open the door~ I know you’re home!”

This rap was extremely magical and brainwashing. “Zhou Xiaoduo knocking on doors” had practically become classic ghost-animal material. It was even pushed onto an airborne trending list by the vast melon-eating netizens. The production team even saved a promotional expense—

#DatingShowFamousSceneZhouXiaoduoKnockingOnDoors
#MostDogBloodDatingShowInHistory

The comment section was full of “hahahaha”—

[Hahahahahahaha, Zhong Lin, open the door~ I still remember how Linlinzi refused to open the door for Zhou Xiaoduo before!! I’m dying of laughter!]

[If you have the nerve to steal Alphas, you have the nerve to open the door!! Too magical. This line has been looping in my head all day. So brainwashing. Amazing!]

[Too much. Just because of this ghost-animal clip, I’m going to watch this variety show~]

[Go watch it quickly. It’s already entered the Shura field. Anxiously waiting for the next full episode…]

Only Zhou Xiaoduo’s solo fans posted a handful of comments—

[Pure passerby. Is the Omega guest Zhou Xiaoduo being maliciously edited by this black-hearted production team?]

[Passerby fan +1. Zhou Xiaoduo isn’t that bad, right? Being awkwardly blackened like this actually makes me feel a little pity for him…]

When people clicked into these few “passerby” comments defending Zhou Xiaoduo, they discovered they were actually alternate accounts. Digging deeper, they would find that they respectively followed Zhou Xiaoduo’s verified Weibo account and Zhou Xiaoduo’s raw-photo super topic…

…

The recent events made Zhou Xiaoduo no longer dare to knock on Pei Yi’s and Chu Yunze’s doors again.

Zhou Xiaoduo could only return to his own room listlessly.

As for whether the Alpha guests had exchanged cards, for now, it was still a mystery.

…

The next day, the production team announced what the three cards actually represented:

“So Beautiful” represented a one-day trip to an art museum and art exhibition.

“So Fragrant” was a visit to a coffee estate and a winery.

“So Sweet” was going to taste desserts at a dessert shop and watch a sweet-pet-themed movie showing in theaters.

In order to preserve suspense for the show, the guests were sent separately by the production team to their destinations. Only once they arrived would they know who their date partner was today.

Zhong Lin’s card was “So Sweet.” In the morning, she had to go watch a movie; in the afternoon, she would go taste desserts.

After getting out of the car, Zhong Lin followed the staff’s instructions and found the route marker in Area A on the second floor of the mall.

The first destination was actually a viral internet-famous dining bar.

Zhong Lin tore off the sticky note the production team had posted on the glass door.

—A sweet movie naturally needs sweet milk tea. Hurry and find your Alpha! Today’s Ta belongs only to you. Spend a “So Sweet” day together~

Zhong Lin pushed open the glass door. Near the glass window, a tall girl sat beside a white table and chairs.

The other person held a magazine in her hand. A high little bun was tied on the top of her head, while half of her long hair hung loose. She lowered her eyes, her features deep and elegant. She originally had a rebellious, sweet-cool appearance, but now, sitting quietly, she had a kind of steady air.

Sunlight dyed a faint layer of light and shadow over her side profile. Her long legs crossed beneath the white table, hot pants paired with chunky dad sneakers, making her ankles look lonely and delicate, her lines beautiful.

The years were infinitely good.

[Ahhhhh, I’m dead. Chu Yunze really is handsome, beautiful, and gentle. Sister’s legs are not legs, they’re spring water that makes people ripple. prprpr licking screen ing.]

[Chu Yunze switching from modeling to the entertainment industry was simply too right. This face, these legs, this waist, this personality—simply blessed by heaven. Heaven is feeding her rice!]

[Today is actually Chu Yunze x Zhong Lin!! Yun-Lin Party is fully satisfied!! [Pretty girl clapping.jpg]]

[I thought it would be Pei Yi… Sad… The water of West Lake is my tears. Yi-Lin CP’s sorrow flows backward into a river, QAQ.]

…

Zhong Lin carefully walked over and gently pulled out the chair to sit down. The whole process did not make much noise.

Chu Yunze immediately put down the magazine in her hand and hurriedly raised her eyes. Seeing that the person who came was Zhong Lin, her eyes curved, and she looked at her with a smiling gaze. “You’re here.”

Zhong Lin nodded and gave a low “mm.” Seeing that the Alpha guest who had come was Chu Yunze made her feel a little surprised. “So you also chose ‘So Sweet’!”

“The Alpha who chose ‘So Sweet’ was me.” Chu Yunze paused. The hands placed on the table slowly clasped together, and her expression seemed a little nervous. “Are you a little disappointed?”

“How could I be disappointed? Aren’t we friends?” Zhong Lin blurted out. She was just a little surprised. Her impression of Chu Yunze was very good, and she felt Yunze was a gentle older sister.

“I’m very happy to play with you.”

Chu Yunze gave a low “mm,” and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

For some reason, she felt like she had suddenly been handed a friend card.

“What do you want to drink?” Chu Yunze asked her.

Zhong Lin saw the lace-printed drink menu on the table. Her gaze swept over the names of those “human drinks.” Beside each name was a tiny thumbnail image of the drink, and every one of them looked delicious~

The Bai Ze cub had not yet drunk these viral internet milk teas. Her gaze swept over Thick Milk Brown Sugar Bobo, then moved back and forth between Cheese Strawberry Berry and Mango Pomelo Sago, wavering uncertainly.

Chu Yunze suddenly asked her, “What’s wrong?”

“This one looks really good.” Zhong Lin stretched out an index finger, her round little fingertip poking the sample image of Cheese Strawberry Berry, then tapped Mango Pomelo Sago. “This one looks pretty good too…”

So conflicted. Which one should she drink?

“Then order both.” Chu Yunze interrupted her thoughts. Her voice was gentle and even carried a bit of indulgence. “If you can’t finish them, I can drink them for you.”

Zhong Lin parted her lips slightly. The corners of her mouth lifted a little. The Bai Ze cub indeed wanted both, although finishing them completely would be a little difficult…

Zhong Lin scanned the QR code on the table with her phone. They would be going to watch a movie later, so after choosing the drinks, she selected the “takeaway” button. Suddenly remembering that Chu Yunze had not yet ordered a drink, she asked, “What are you drinking?”

“I can’t drink anything too sweet.” Chu Yunze raised the iced Americano by her hand.

Chu Yunze was a model, so she had to strictly control her carbohydrate intake. But when she had drawn the “So Sweet” card last night, Chu Yunze’s eyes had lit up, and joy had unconsciously climbed onto her brows.

At that time, Pei Yi had looked coldly at Chu Yunze. Under Pei Yi’s “wanting to exchange cards” but hesitating to speak gaze, Chu Yunze had moved very quickly, leaving early and returning to her room.

During the previous “buying breakfast” incident, Chu Yunze had discovered that Zhong Lin liked sweets. She had eaten lava custard buns, custard buns, purple sweet potato buns… but had only eaten one meat bun. Clearly, this little sweet girl belonged to the “sweet party.”

The moment Chu Yunze drew “So Sweet,” she had felt in the dark that Zhong Lin would draw “So Sweet” too!

Although Chu Yunze could not eat too many sweets and did not really like sweet, cloying foods,

sweet girls…

She was very interested.

Ever since Chu Yunze saw things clearly, she suddenly felt that Zhou Xiaoduo was no longer fragrant. This little male Omega looked milky and obedient, but unfortunately, his whole body emitted the scent of green tea. He looked sweet and fragrant, neither close nor distant, like an enticing piece of chocolate.

Only after carefully observing him did one discover that he was actually… dried horse manure carefully repaired with gold foil.

If she had to choose one Omega guest on the variety show, she would rather choose Zhong Lin.

In front of natural cuteness, a scheming green-tea Omega was worthless. Just dried horse manure…

Sweet girls were the most awesome!

After their number was called, Zhong Lin carried two large drinks and followed behind Chu Yunze.

“I’ll carry them for you.” Chu Yunze suddenly reached out to take the two drinks, and their fingers lightly brushed.

Zhong Lin moved her hand away to the side. “I can do it. These aren’t heavy.”

“Are you really sure you can carry them?” Chu Yunze raised her brow slightly.

Zhong Lin was completely confused.

Only after Chu Yunze went to the movie counter and picked up their reserved movie tickets—mm, sugar-free iced cola, and popcorn—did Zhong Lin realize that the movie theater combo unexpectedly came with so many things too…

Zhong Lin’s face suddenly felt a little hot. She realized that she should not have bought two drinks. She had thought she could give one to Chu Yunze later… Now she was a little regretful. They might really not be able to drink that much.

But Chu Yunze did not mind at all. She stuffed the popcorn into Zhong Lin’s arms. “Want me to help you carry the milk tea?”

“For me to eat?” Zhong Lin pinched a few pieces of popcorn. Her thin cheek puffed up slightly, and she crunched on the popcorn kacha kacha. The sweet, fragrant, crispy texture melted in her mouth. The buttery flavor was super rich, and because it was freshly made popcorn, it was still warm in her mouth.

“It’s all yours, if you can finish the popcorn, the cola, and the two cups of milk tea…” Chu Yunze turned her face to look at her, curving her eyes as she teased.

“Probably not. I won’t be able to finish.” Zhong Lin shook her head while following beside Chu Yunze. The two went to look at the posters outside the cinema walls.

Zhong Lin could not help sighing. “The leftovers will be wasted.”

She could absolutely eat them all, but Zhong Lin did not want to eat alone. Good things should be shared with friends~

“If you’re willing to share a little with me later,” Chu Yunze continued, “I can help you with some of it.”

The “So Sweet” route the production team had suggested for them was to watch the campus sweet-pet movie A Little Thing Called Love.

On the poster were two male Alphas and one female Omega. It was clearly a sweet-pet campus love triangle script.

The movie’s marketing department probably had a cooperation deal with the production team.

Zhong Lin glanced at the plot summary, then suddenly caught sight of another poster beside it.

Her attention was completely drawn to another film.

Chu Yunze discovered that Zhong Lin seemed completely uninterested in A Little Thing Called Love, so she followed Zhong Lin’s gaze and looked at the poster for the film beside it.

—On it were two girls. The taller one on the left stood in the shadows, wearing a blood-red long dress. Her sharp brows and eyes were covered by gloom; she was clearly a female Alpha. The shorter one on the right stood in the sunlight, wearing a washed-pale high school uniform. She was thin and small, yet smiling, though her smile looked very forced.

Beneath the feet of the girl in the school uniform was a pool of blood, slowly flowing toward the feet of the girl in the red dress. The composition was unusually eerie, as if the hem of the red-dressed girl’s skirt had been dyed red by that pool of blood.

Beneath the large pool of blood were several crimson words—

Summer, Hide-and-Seek With the Bridal Dress

It was clearly a campus suspense thriller. In other words, a horror movie.

Chu Yunze looked at Zhong Lin in shock. She had not expected the sweet girl’s tastes to be so unusual. “You want to watch this?”

Zhong Lin first nodded, but quickly shook her head. “Better not. The director told us to watch that one…”

The marketing team for A Little Thing Called Love probably had a cooperation deal with the production team, right? Zhong Lin chose to obey the production team’s arrangement and did not want to trouble others.

The Bai Ze cub was very sensible and restrained her curiosity toward the other movie. (:з)∠)

Chu Yunze hesitated. The poster with the large bloodstains made her a little physically uncomfortable. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while.

In the past, when Chu Yunze had shot photos for magazines, there had been a photographer who loved chatting during breaks. He would talk with the staff about everything under the sun, from composition to psychology.

There was one psychological application in romance called the “suspension bridge effect”—

When people swayed left and right on a suspension bridge, their heart rate sped up, and adrenaline rose rapidly, producing huge emotional fluctuations, extreme excitement or panic. At this time, if someone was accompanying them, they might understand this phenomenon of “tachycardia” as “heart throbbing” toward the companion.

Creating an illusion—“I’ve fallen for her.”

That was also why, if you wanted to hook up with a girl, you took her to watch a horror movie or go to a haunted house. When the girl was so frightened she threw herself into your arms seeking hugs,

the two of you would quickly experience “heart racing”…

And she would mistakenly think she liked you.

“Cough, cough.” Chu Yunze lightly coughed twice. “Then let’s change the movie. Since there’s one you like more.”

“The production team only gave us an ‘itinerary suggestion’ before. It’s not a strict requirement.”

“It’s better to watch what you like.” Chu Yunze explained gently.

“Mm-hm.” Zhong Lin nodded repeatedly. Her heart warmed, and she felt a little moved. Sister Yunze was really considerate.

Compared to that campus romance or whatever, the Bai Ze cub really wanted to see what gods and ghosts in modern society looked like~

A staff member behind the cameraman took out their phone and communicated with the director about “So Sweet” wanting to change movies.

Maybe the marketing for that sweet-pet movie had not paid promotional fees? Not long after, the director replied: yes, they could.

For the sake of the show effect, even watching a horror, thriller, suspense film or something like that could increase AO interaction effects, so it was all fine.

[OMG, Zhong Lin is pretty brave. She’s not interested in the sweet-pet movie the production team arranged and actually wants to watch that horror movie…]

[Cub feels so cute. She clearly wants to watch the horror movie, but she’s embarrassed to say it. The way she compromises is so adorable. At a glance, she’s a good kid who doesn’t want to make trouble for the production team.]

[Feels like Chu Yunze is a little happy? She actually took the initiative to suggest switching to the horror movie? Could she be trying to take the opportunity to hehe…]

[Person upstairs, put away the yellow waste in your brain. Yunze is such a gentle person. She just wants to satisfy cub’s little wish. Cub is still young and doesn’t understand these things~ [/Covers face]]
