A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 6
“I’ll take you somewhere~ That place is super fun…”
“No need.” Pei Yi was very touched, and then refused Zhong Lin’s invitation.
On the ride back, the atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot—
At least, that was what Zhong Lin thought.
Zhong Lin had spent the whole day playing happily in Happy Valley, and the cameraman had recorded many shots of her smiling brightly and sweetly.
Now, sitting in the car seat, Zhong Lin still had not gotten over her excitement. Her little mouth went “babababa” as she began talking to herself.
“I played so many attractions today~”
“When I rode that river rapids ride, I met a male Alpha.”
“He chatted with me a super lot. Halfway through, he thought the ride was about to reach the station, so he tore off his raincoat.”
“Roar… Who knew there was still a huge turn afterward? When we went down that slope, there were so many people there shooting water guns~ That boy got drenched like a soaked quail. Hahahaha, everyone was laughing at him…”
Pei Yi’s face grew paler and paler. She raised her arm to separate the distance between herself and Zhong Lin, rubbing her brow with her fingertips. Her voice sounded a little impatient.
“Enough. Be quiet.”
“I’m tired.”
Hearing this, Zhong Lin let out a surprised “Ah” and asked weakly, “But didn’t you rest for a very long time today?”
Pei Yi: …Heh. My heart is so tired.
[Hahahahahahahahaha, poor little Yiyi was left hanging for the whole day!!]
[That final line, “But didn’t you rest for a very long time today?” stabbed so deep, hahahahaha~]
[The cub went wild playing and completely forgot about the date, hhhhhhh.]
[Right, right, right. The cub smiled so brightly today, number one in the whole universe, like a flower in spring~~]
[Speechless. Does Zhong Lin have even the slightest bit of manners? She made my Yi wait for an entire day! She’s seriously sick!!]
[Zhong Lin is sick +1.]
[The person above has no martial virtue. Back then, when the cub wanted to pick your Yiyi, your Yiyi ignored her. Now the cub just likes playing! So what? Did she eat your family’s rice?!]
[Zhong Lin is sick +10086.]
…
The production team had issued VIP all-access passes, so there was no need to wait in line. Zhong Lin had practically played through every attraction she wanted to try!
Although Zhong Lin was a Bai Ze cub, she was currently inside an ordinary human body.
Her legs felt a little soft and weak, unable to gather strength. Her head was also heavy and muddled. Exhaustion surged over her like a tide.
So sleepy…
Zhong Lin could no longer maintain her originally straight sitting posture. Her body leaned back against the seat. Her long lashes trembled lightly, and her eyes were bright with moisture. She was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, her chin dipping little by little…
Like a little chick pecking rice.
She was simply too sleepy. Zhong Lin fell completely asleep.
She had an extremely strange dream.
Beside the windowsill stood a girl in a white dress. The window was a floor-to-ceiling window, only a low distance from the ground.
The glass window had been pushed completely open. The wind was very strong, and the billowing curtains rolled backward like waves.
The girl’s skirt fluttered in the wind, outlining her slender waist. She was very thin, with almost no flesh on her bones. If the night wind blew any harder, it would probably blow her apart.
The girl lowered her head and looked at the floor. She seemed to think for a while, then raised her head and gazed at the night sky. Her phone was dialing a number…
“Beep beep—The user you are calling is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”
She dialed again and again, but no one answered her call.
A rustling sound entered Zhong Lin’s ears. Someone’s soles were rubbing against the floor, again and again…
“Thud—”
The sound was muffled. It was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Zhong Lin hurriedly ran to the balcony and lowered her eyes to look down.
A girl lay in a pool of blood. Scarlet blood hung from the corners of her eyes and mouth, and she had brows and eyes exactly like Zhong Lin’s.
A chill ran down her back, and it felt as if a piece of her heart had gone hollow.
Zhong Lin frowned slightly. “Don’t…”
A soft scoff came from above her head, sounding a little disdainful.
“Don’t what?” A female voice drifted down lightly. It sounded very familiar.
Zhong Lin trembled and instantly woke up.
Something light was tossed onto her cheek. Zhong Lin raised her hand and wiped it off. It was a tissue.
When her fingers touched her face, there was a wet sensation. Could it be… drool?
Pei Yi had discovered it…
So embarrassing.
Zhong Lin quickly used Pei Yi’s tissue to wipe her face messily. When the tissue passed over the side of her nose, she smelled a faint fragrance… It smelled a little sweet, but somewhat sharp, like sweet white grape sparkling wine.
Zhong Lin’s movements paused for an instant. Her nose twitched, and she secretly sniffed the scent on the tissue.
“Aren’t you getting out of the car?” Pei Yi unfastened her seatbelt and coldly glanced at her. Her tone sounded very impatient.
If possible, she really wanted to lock Zhong Lin directly inside the car and simply not let this person get out!
Today’s experience had truly been terrible.
Pei Yi turned sideways and got out of the car. With a “thud,” her heel landed heavily on the ground.
Zhong Lin followed her out. This was not the place they had left from in the morning.
After three days of AO random dates, the guests had already gained a basic understanding of one another. So after the third day’s date ended, the destination of the three white nanny vans was the villa district.
The guests’ luggage had already been brought over by the production team. They were leaving the original filming base and would be moving into the villa for cohabitation.
A white fence surrounded the large detached villa. Roses bloomed lavishly in the courtyard. The swing in the yard seemed to have just been used by someone, swaying back and forth.
Putting a group of Alphas and Omegas together under one roof, with men and women, Alphas and Omegas, and a rule that supported mutual selection across all genders, sounded full of freedom…
But in reality, it was very much like raising poisonous insects in a jar.
The horn of war had already sounded. Dog food and Shura fields lay ahead.
But as a Bai Ze cub, Zhong Lin did not understand what this meant. Moving somewhere else was just moving somewhere else… As long as there was good food, good drinks, and fun things, it was fine~
“The Alpha guests will stay on the first floor. The Omega guests will stay on the second floor.”
“We will now begin drawing lots. Alpha guests will draw from this pink box on the left. Omega guests will draw from this white box on the right.”
Zhong Lin reached inside and drew room number 201. At the bottom of the card were a few lines of small text.
—Show the original colorful beauty of life. May you find the one you love~
—Note: 1. During the program, you must return to the villa every night. You may ask for leave if there is a work conflict. Filming for the show will follow the principle of not interfering with the guests’ normal lives.
- During your stay, exchanging contact information is forbidden.
- Under the camera, please avoid playing on your phone as much as possible.
- Before the final pick, you may not confess to your person of interest ahead of time.
- Every night, you must deliver an anonymous letter. Each guest only has one chance per day.
“Everyone can go check out your rooms first, then come record your solo interview.” A staff member waved the A4 paper in their hand and pointed toward a storage room in the first-floor living room that was being used as the “solo interview room.”
Everyone nodded and scattered.
Pei Yi turned around, preparing to look for her room.
The staff member called out to Pei Yi, “Teacher Pei, please go in first to record your solo interview.”
Pei Yi paused, then followed the staff member into the solo interview room.
When the director saw the youngest Best Actress, who was also the biggest celebrity and traffic draw of their production team, he smiled like a sunflower.
“Just briefly introduce yourself, talk about your wish in coming here, and the type of person you like. That will be enough.”
Pei Yi nodded lightly.
The director was very reassured about Pei Yi. Who didn’t know that Pei Yi had suddenly faded out of the entertainment industry during her peak? But she had once been the youngest Best Actress, and her professional ability was first-rate.
The director was very reassured about Pei Yi’s performance.
But after the recording started…
“Hello, everyone. I’m Pei Yi. I’m very honored to come here and meet everyone. I’m also very happy to receive the invitation from Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge. I hope that through this program, I can obtain what I wish for and make my dream come true.”
The most frightening thing was sudden silence.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
The director’s smile completely froze. His tone was a little shocked. “That’s it??”
Pei Yi nodded lightly. “I’m done.”
The director continued guiding her. “Could you say specifically what wish you want to fulfill? Or, specifically, what type of person you like?”
“I don’t want to say,” Pei Yi said coldly. “That belongs to personal privacy.”
Her words were concise, clear, and directly hit the point. As expected of the biggest name on the show and the youngest Best Actress…
The director wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only purse his lips and silently retract his earlier evaluation of Pei Yi. This situation did not seem reassuring after all.
The director lightly coughed and handed over an iPad. “Initial heartbeat pick. First, choose the Omega guest you like the most.”
On the screen were glamorous photos of the three Omegas.
Pei Yi’s gaze swept over the other two photos before stopping on the one on the far left.
The girl’s makeup was extremely heavy. Her false eyelashes were exaggeratedly long, and her eyeshadow had large patches of unblended blue glitter, as if she were about to go onstage for a stage play.
It was the former “Zhong Lin.”
Pei Yi unconsciously curved her lips. She laughed softly, her voice so faint it was almost like breath.
What was this… You really couldn’t tell that she and today’s Zhong Lin were the same person.
Tsk. So only today had she seen Zhong Lin’s true face.
Zhong Lin’s stylist really deserved to be dragged out and stir-fried.
What she did not know was that an eighteenth-tier internet flop like Zhong Lin did not even have a stylist.
Director: “Hurry and choose. You only have one minute.”
The countdown on the screen slowly passed.
Pei Yi’s brows lightly touched together as she sighed in a low voice, “This is so hard to choose.”
She extended her index finger toward the screen, slowly hovering from left to right.
Only when the countdown ended and the option buttons turned gray did Pei Yi belatedly let out a soft “Eh?”
“Why did this suddenly turn gray?”
Director: “…”
Please begin your performance.
Pei Yi handed the iPad back to the director. She shook her head slightly and looked a little embarrassed. “What a pity. I wasn’t able to choose within the required time.”
She was regretful?
She was pretending.
It was only the first announcement task. Pei Yi did not need to choose anyone. During the three days of date time with the three Omega guests, she had barely felt any stirrings at all.
Except today. Today, Pei Yi had felt emotions completely different from the previous two days—especially strong emotions.
That drama queen Zhong Lin had finally succeeded in attracting her attention today.
She really was not angry. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)
…
The door to the solo interview room suddenly opened. Pei Yi gathered the white little suit jacket draped over her shoulders and slowly walked out of the room.
“Teacher Xiao Zhong, come over quickly. The previous person just finished recording.” From a distance, she heard a staff member’s voice.
A familiar figure walked toward her. The girl wore a simple off-shoulder white shirt, and beneath her denim shorts, her legs were slender and straight.
The corridor was narrow, and the two of them approached each other head-on.
Zhong Lin froze for an instant. She had not expected that the person who had just gone for the solo interview was Pei Yi. She took the initiative to stand toward the left, wanting to make a little room for Pei Yi.
Very coincidentally, Pei Yi had the same thought and almost simultaneously moved to the right.
Zhong Lin’s left happened to be Pei Yi’s right.
Zhong Lin lowered her head and walked quickly. She did not notice. As they brushed past each other, her shoulder lightly grazed the other woman’s arm.
Her heart suddenly panicked. She timidly raised her eyes to look at Pei Yi.
In the car on the way back today, this oppressive atmosphere seemed to have already begun.
Zhong Lin was an Omega. Among Omegas, she was not considered short, but she was still half a shoulder shorter than Pei Yi.
A pair of black flat shoes stopped before her eyes. The other person’s eyes were dark and slightly lowered. Her upturned eyes had become long and narrow, and the gaze sweeping over was cold as condensed frost. Her head tilted slightly to the side, closing the distance between them.
Only one centimeter closer.
“Choose properly.” The female voice was low, only audible at the distance between the two of them.
Zhong Lin felt Pei Yi’s breath against her ear. It was warm, carrying a faint fragrance that seemed to be there and not there. Heat climbed up to the root of Zhong Lin’s ear, and her small earlobe gradually turned red.
It was like sweet white grape sparkling wine, the alcohol scent very faint, with more of a sweet fragrance.
Such a familiar scent?
Pei Yi’s voice drifted down from above, like a casual greeting, yet carrying a hint of threat.
