A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 35

The moment she saw Pei Yi, Chu Yunze frowned. “Where’s Zhou Xiaoduo?”

“He wasn’t feeling well, so he went back first.” Pei Yi pulled out the chair beside her, signaling for Zhong Lin to sit there.

Zhong Lin and Chu Yunze sat down separately.

Once again, the seating arrangement was extremely awkward. Zhong Lin was sandwiched between the two Alphas, practically caught between a rock and a hard place.

The wineglass beside Pei Yi’s hand was half-filled. A faint red lip print rested on the rim of the glass. Clearly, while waiting for people, she had taken a couple idle sips.

There was an ice bucket on the table, and a bottle of champagne rested slanted among the ice cubes.

Pei Yi reached over, took the wineglass in front of Zhong Lin, and poured her a shallow bit at the bottom. “Try some?”

When Zhong Lin saw that tiny bit of “pale golden drink,” she was not very happy. There was clearly such a big bottle on the table, so why did the Bai Ze cub only get one tiny sip? QAQ

The Bai Ze cub felt wronged, and the Bai Ze cub insisted on saying it.

Zhong Lin said weakly, “Thank you. Isn’t it a little little?”

Though she said thank you, her soft pink lips were slightly pouting. Zhong Lin unconsciously wrote her dissatisfaction all over her face.

Pei Yi could not help laughing softly and reminded her, “You can’t drink too much alcohol. The doctor said so.”

“Drink some juice. There’s freshly squeezed white grape juice. The taste is similar to champagne.”

White grape juice, champagne, and Pei Yi’s pheromones were sixty to seventy percent similar.

But Pei Yi had only made a suggestion.

She did not force Zhong Lin to drink…

“All right.” Zhong Lin raised her glass and drank that tiny sip of champagne. For some reason, the taste felt a little familiar.

Thinking back, the taste of this wine seemed especially similar to Pei Yi’s pheromones.

She regretted it a little. She should not have agreed to Pei Yi just now.

The taste of white grape juice was actually even more like Pei Yi’s pheromones than that champagne just now…

Zhong Lin put down the wineglass in her hand. The roots of her ears, hidden beneath her hair, began turning pink, and her face instantly grew very hot.

Chu Yunze kept her face taut. Her complexion was a little poor, and she had no expression at all. Her heart was filled with extreme regret. Why was Pei Yi so familiar with Zhong Lin?

She knew Zhong Lin’s current physical condition was not suitable for drinking… She had even met Zhong Lin’s doctor?

Chu Yunze could not join their conversation at all. This made her chest feel stuffy, and before she realized it, she had picked up the chopsticks in her hand.

When Pei Yi sent Zhong Lin to the hospital, what had Chu Yunze been doing? Chu Yunze began to carefully recall. At that time, her whole body and mind had been focused on Zhou Xiaoduo, wishing she could offer her entire heart to him.

And the result? She treated Zhou Xiaoduo as her heartbeat Omega, while Zhou Xiaoduo treated her as a spare tire.

A spare tire? How laughable. It was just a variety show; everyone was merely going through the motions, yet someone was still raising spare tires here?

Chu Yunze regretted not waking up earlier. She raised her eyes toward Zhong Lin, her gaze stopping on the girl’s pink little earlobe.

Zhong Lin, this person—at some unknown point, she had already gained weight in Chu Yunze’s heart. If possible, Chu Yunze wanted to treat Zhong Lin as her heartbeat Omega for this show.

Liang Shan had once said—“The Red Luan star has moved, and peach blossoms will descend.” Chu Yunze pressed her lips tightly together. Could her “Red Luan star moving” be Zhong Lin?

“Teacher Chu, the dishes aren’t even here yet. Why are you holding chopsticks?” Pei Yi’s leisurely voice sounded beside her ear, faintly carrying some arrogance.

“Then let’s order.” Chu Yunze put down the chopsticks in her hand. Her gaze passed over Zhong Lin, who sat in the middle, and coldly glanced in Pei Yi’s direction. Still not done? What was this faded Best Actress so proud of?

Who did Zhong Lin like? Who would she choose in the final mutual selection?

None of that was known yet!

Pei Yi curved her lips and lifted her eyes, glancing at Chu Yunze’s direction. “Does Teacher Chu drink champagne?”

Chu Yunze waved her hand. “I don’t drink alcohol.”

Pei Yi raised her brow somewhat unexpectedly. The question seemed unintentional, yet carried a bit of provocation. “Then you’ll drink grape juice with Zhong Lin?”

Chu Yunze curled her lips, a barely detectable disgust showing in her eyes. “I don’t like grape juice, and I don’t like wine.”

“I hate grapes.” Chu Yunze clearly remembered that when she had encountered Pei Yi in the hallway, she had smelled the Alpha scent belonging to Pei Yi. Pei Yi’s pheromones were very similar to grapes.

She hated the pheromones that belonged to Pei Yi.

Pei Yi sneered. “Then Teacher Chu can order whatever she likes…”

“Citrus juice,” Chu Yunze said to the server beside the table. “A large cup of citrus juice, with a little ice.”

Chu Yunze remembered very clearly that Zhong Lin’s pheromones were a sweet scent between cream and tangerine.

Chu Yunze did not like sweets and hated sweet, high-calorie foods, but sweet girls and an Omega’s sweet pheromones—

she liked those.

Pei Yi raised her brow unexpectedly. She suddenly picked up the chilled champagne and poured herself another glass. “Didn’t Teacher Chu like green tea? Why do you suddenly like citrus juice?”

“It has lots of vitamin C. It can whiten the skin.” Chu Yunze answered calmly. “I like it.”

“It does have vitamins, but it also has a lot of carotene.” Pei Yi gave a low “oh,” her tone playful. “If you drink too much, your skin will turn yellow.”

“Don’t you models care the most about skin and figure?” Pei Yi asked slowly.

Chu Yunze: “…” Why did this faded Best Actress speak in such an irritating way? If she did not want that mouth, she could donate it to someone in need. ⊙_⊙

Pei Yi turned to the server and said, “I’ll also have citrus juice. Large, no ice.”

Chu Yunze bit her back teeth and adjusted herself. Her tone remained as steady as possible, without gritting her teeth in front of the camera. “Then Teacher Pei should also drink less citrus juice.”

Pei Yi: “…” Heh.

The server wrote it down in her notebook. Her face still wore a professional smile, but inwardly she felt this group of people were inexplicable. There was a bottle of champagne freshly opened on the table, yet this group insisted on drinking juice?

Server: …Speechless. What kind of people were these?? Truly wasting precious things!

Zhong Lin looked left and right. Why did it feel like the Alphas on both sides even had to fight back and forth over fruit juice??

Hearing her stomach give a small sound, Zhong Lin blinked and said innocently, “I’m hungry…”

“When are we ordering?”

[Hahaha, cub is hungry. Hurry and feed cub~ These two Alphas, seriously, they dare make our cub starve!!]

[What citrus juice? What meme is this?? Why don’t I understand??]

[+1]

[+10086]

[I keep feeling like it’s a word with a bit of yellow color? But I’m still little, so I don’t understand… (づωど)]

[Upstairs, you’ve become dirty… I think it’s just ordinary fruit juice.]

…

From ordering to the dishes being served, there was a gap between every course.

The appetizers were individual portions, little plates and little cups. The presentation was indeed exquisite, but the amount was especially small. Zhong Lin ate very quickly, and after finishing, she looked pitifully at the food belonging to the two Alphas on her left and right.

Hungry. She could only drink juice to fill her stomach.

The juice was translucent, with grainy bits of fruit flesh inside. The sweet-and-sour grape flavor was very rich, always making her think of a familiar scent.

Pei Yi’s pheromones.

Zhong Lin’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward Pei Yi’s direction. For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed. (:з)∠)

“Does it not taste good?” Pei Yi ate slowly and methodically, carefully cutting the food into tiny pieces and eating one small bite at a time with her fork. In the blink of an eye, she saw Zhong Lin’s plate was already empty, and the hand holding her fork could not help trembling lightly twice.

“It tastes good. There’s just a little too little.”

“There’s more later.” Pei Yi curved her lips in a faint smile. With so many dishes ordered, was she still afraid she could not feed her full?

“How was the movie this morning?” Pei Yi suddenly asked her. “Was it good?”

When Pei Yi had been sitting here waiting earlier, she had watched the livestream on her phone. She did not know, nor was she interested in whether the movie was good or not.

But a certain supermodel, who had sworn before that Zhong Lin should not be afraid, only to later be frightened by the “dismembered body sink” scene until she trembled—that had truly been fun to watch.

Before Zhong Lin could answer—

“It was good.” Chu Yunze spread foie gras on a baguette and answered Pei Yi’s question first. “The Mango Pomelo Sago was also delicious. I really have to thank Xiao Lin today. It was thanks to you.”

“No need to thank me.” Zhong Lin was suddenly mentioned. She raised her head and smiled with curved eyes. “The movie was very good, and the milk tea was good too. We had a pretty good time this morning. What about you, Pei Yi?”

“Pretty good.” The smile in Pei Yi’s eyes completely faded. She speared a shrimp ball and bit it apart heavily.

Zhong Lin looked pitifully at them eating. Her own appetizer was already finished, so she could only gulp down a mouthful of grape juice.

White grape juice. Very sweet, with a fruity fragrance. It was extremely similar to someone’s pheromones.

A flavor that made the tip of the tongue linger.

Later, the other dishes were served.

When the seafood platter arrived, Chu Yunze and Pei Yi were already full. Seeing the oysters surrounded by ice cubes and all kinds of fish and shellfish sashimi, they had no appetite at all.

Zhong Lin picked through these and ate part of them.

Zhong Lin began attacking the Australian lobster.

The Australian lobster was cooked with the simplest salt-and-pepper preparation. The freshest ingredients only needed the simplest cooking method. The chef had handled the lobster very well, separating the shell from the meat before arranging the whole lobster on the plate. It was a tempting deep red.

It was very convenient to eat. Zhong Lin ate elegantly, not messy at all. The meat was firm, and the light seasoning could not cover the lobster’s own fresh sweetness.

At this moment, Pei Yi’s voice sounded beside her ear. “I want to borrow Zhong Lin’s afternoon. Does Teacher Chu agree?”

“I want to go to a baking studio with her.”

Pei Yi’s gaze passed over Zhong Lin’s round little back of the head, which was buried in eating, and collided with Chu Yunze’s gaze on the other side.

Her gaze was cold and careless, as if victory was certain.

Thinking of Zhong Lin lifting her face from a cake base, a little white cream stuck to her small nose, her light brown eyes innocently looking over like a helpless little flower cat—

It should be very fun.

For some inexplicable reason, Pei Yi felt a tiny bit of anticipation.

[What happened to having something to do at 3:30 p.m.? As long as she doesn’t have to accompany Zhou Xiaoduo, suddenly nothing’s happening? Hahahahahaha.]

[Oh my god, Pei Yi is stealing someone from Chu Yunze?? Dating show ceiling shaking! My heart stopped!!]

[Little Best Actress Pei is so double-standard. When dating Zhou Xiaoduo, she goes to boring museums, art galleries, and exhibitions. When dating Zhong Lin, she wants to go to a baking studio… [/Clapping]]

[Hahahahahaha, this meal is not simple at all! So Little Best Actress Pei is this scheming?? This double-standard essence, AWSL! Shipping to death!!]

[Hahaha, cub only knows eating, eating, playing, playing. I feel like these two Alphas are not as important as one lobster in her eyes. Hohoho hahahaha.]

…

Today, Zhong Lin and Chu Yunze had drawn the same “So Sweet” card. Logically speaking, Zhong Lin should spend the entire day completing the itinerary with Chu Yunze.

But now Pei Yi was intercepting halfway!

Chu Yunze cut the pan-fried foie gras on her plate. The knife slid left and right over the plate, making a loud grinding sound. Her face, however, forced itself to remain calm. Without even lifting her eyelids, she asked, “Why?”

She had guessed that a meal from this faded Best Actress would not be so easy to freeload. Sure enough… it was a Hongmen Banquet.

“I booked a baking class at Mingji House. I believe this suits the theme of ‘So Sweet’ better.” Pei Yi explained, her tone gentle, seeming reasonable and well-founded. “Want to go make cake together?”

After speaking, Pei Yi lowered her eyes and looked at Zhong Lin beside her.

Zhong Lin was busy indulging in Australian rock oysters, Australian lobster, shellfish sashimi, and so on, happily communicating with these marine creatures.

Shrimp were the Bai Ze cub’s charging station. Rock oysters were the Bai Ze cub’s gas station. How had she never realized these marine creatures were so delicious before? She loved marine creatures terribly. (:з)∠)

There were also some typical Cantonese dishes: char siu, roast duck, white-cut chicken, sticky rice chicken… She tasted every one, and they were all super delicious~

She had completely failed to realize that Pei Yi had just been asking her.

Chu Yunze sighed softly. “I have no objections. It depends where Zhong Lin wants to go: the dessert shop or the baking class?”

—Giving the decision to the Omega was Chu Yunze’s greatest concession.

She took the initiative to yield. It was compromising for the sake of the larger picture, and also a gentle knife. She was betting that Zhong Lin would not bear to abandon the afternoon “dessert shop date” with her.

“Zhong Lin.” Pei Yi suddenly called her. “Will you come make cake with me this afternoon?”

The words “will you” were extremely light, seemingly carrying a pleading meaning. But it was not a multiple-choice question; it was a true-or-false question: “go” or “not go.” It was much more forceful than the way Chu Yunze spoke.

“Mingji House’s baking room is not open to the public. This is a rare opportunity. Are you unwilling to go?”

Only then did Zhong Lin raise her head and take a sip, her soft pink lips pressing against the straw as she asked vaguely, “It’s for making cake?”

“Delicious and fun.” Pei Yi answered warmly.

“I can. I want to go.” The moment Zhong Lin heard that there was an activity that was both fun and delicious, she immediately became interested.

Pei Yi curved her lips, and a trace of smugness climbed onto her brows.

Chu Yunze lowered her eyes, the light in them dimming.

Zhong Lin continued asking, her tone a little curious. “Since it’s that fun, will Yunze go too?”

The Bai Ze cub felt that more people should make it more fun, right? (:з)∠)

The corners of Pei Yi’s originally raised lips instantly stiffened. Her eyelid twitched. She had just been about to say, “Teacher Chu won’t go…”

Chu Yunze nodded and hurriedly answered first, “I want to go. I really want to go. I just don’t know if Teacher Pei minds.”

At this time, if Pei Yi said “I don’t mind,” it would be against her heart.

But if she said “I mind,” she would look petty.

“I do know Mingji House’s baking room isn’t open to the public. I want to ride on Teacher Pei’s influence and broaden my horizons too.” Chu Yunze continued speaking, even raising the citrus juice in her hand toward Pei Yi.

“Thank you in advance, Teacher Pei.”

“No need to thank me.” Pei Yi’s smile was a little stiff, but she still raised her glass along with her. “A friend knows their boss. Getting into the baking room isn’t difficult.”

Pei Yi took a sip of citrus juice. She said it lightly and breezily, but still choked on a small mouthful.

“Cough, cough.” She turned her head away and covered her mouth and nose with a tissue.

The citrus juice on the tip of her tongue, besides sweetness,

also carried a faint sourness.

[Good grief, so this afternoon is going to be a threesome??? Three.P, I love it, love it.]

[Excuse me? What is the person upstairs saying?? They’re just going to make a cake! Yellow-minded people see yellow…]

[I’m excited. The proposal in my hand instantly lost its fragrance. I only want to watch this afternoon’s three-person Shura field cake PLAY~]

Among the excited bullet comments, a discordant voice suddenly appeared—

[Honestly, I feel like Zhong Lin is a little green tea. Isn’t this really “stepping on two boats” and “making two high-quality Alphas get jealous over me”??

Why does everyone scold Zhou Xiaoduo but not Zhong Lin? Why is no one pointing out Zhong Lin tugging back and forth with two Alphas?]

But very quickly, another group of bullet comments hit back in seconds—

[Heh, little brother Xiaoduo’s fans are jumping out again. Your own main is going cold, so you’re dragging others down with him?? Hasn’t this been said in the previous livestreams? Can Zhou Xiaoduo and Zhong Lin be the same? Can they? Hm?]

[Are you teaching cub how to behave? Are you blind? Didn’t you see cub has been eating, watching movies, and doing what she should be doing the whole time? Has she deliberately spread affection everywhere and flirted around like your little brother Xiaoduo??]

[Really? Did Zhong Lin do anything wrong? Before an official confession, shouldn’t she get to know both sides? It’s not like she’s binding a CP! [/Disdain]]

[Little brother Xiaoduo’s fans, get out!! This is Zhong Lin’s channel!!!]

…

Zhou Xiaoduo, who had returned to the villa alone, put down his phone. His teeth itched with anger, and he ground them hard. He logged out of the alternate account he had just used to speak and fiercely pressed the phone screen off.

He had not expected that the good hand he once held would be played into such a mess by now.
