A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 7

What did Pei Yi mean by “choose properly”???

When Zhong Lin heard that sentence, her first reaction was confusion. But after carefully recalling the plot of that female-Alpha/male-Omega novel, she remembered that the next process was recording the solo interview, and then… it seemed they would do the “initial heartbeat pick”?

And Pei Yi wanted her to choose properly?

The corner of Zhong Lin’s mouth twitched. For a moment, she did not know how to answer her. By the time Zhong Lin reacted and squeezed a smile as bright as the morning sun back onto her face, then raised her head to look at Pei Yi—

There was already no one in front of her.

She turned around. Pei Yi’s figure was gradually disappearing down the corridor.

Zhong Lin let out a breath. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. She was the best Bai Ze cub. (:з)∠)

“Knock, knock, knock—” Zhong Lin knocked on the door, then walked into the solo interview room.

As usual, the director introduced the rules.

Zhong Lin listened carefully to the director’s words, then nodded lightly to show that she understood.

“Has the recording started?” Zhong Lin tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion.

The director made an “OK” gesture.

Facing the camera, Zhong Lin raised the corners of her lips. Beneath her pink lips were neat, white teeth, and shallow dimples appeared on both cheeks.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Zhong Lin. I’m super happy to come to Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge~”

“I hope that during this program, I can achieve my wish.”

Then came another minute of silence.

The silence made the director’s head hurt especially badly today. What was this? One after another? “Achieve my wish”? Then could you please say specifically what that wish is? (⊙_⊙)

The director lightly coughed and raised his hand to interrupt the recording. “Briefly describe the type of person who makes your heart move.”

“What kind of person do you like the most?” The director began patiently guiding her.

Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She was still only a Bai Ze cub. What type did she like? She really did not understand. Human society was truly too hard to survive in. (:з)∠)

Then she would just say a type completely different from the heroine~ Anyway, the farther away she was from the heroine, the less likely she was to make a mistake.

Zhong Lin said, “I really like gentle people, especially the very enthusiastic kind. I think being with that kind of person feels more comfortable~”

For example, the elders in her clan were gentle and enthusiastic. A very, very long time ago, they often gave the Bai Ze cub lots and lots of delicious food~

The director continued guiding her. “When you find such a person, what would you most want to do with them?”

Director: This is too hard for me, QAQ. This really is… the worst group of guests I’ve ever worked with!

It was like desperately squeezing toothpaste that was almost empty. Squeeze a little, then squeeze a little more. This “solo interview” segment would have to rely entirely on post-production patching later.

Zhong Lin continued, “We could go to places we want to go together~”

“We could go down to the river to catch fish, go to the seaside to catch shrimp, play lots and lots of fun things, eat lots and lots of delicious food, and be together every day~”

Every day, they could hunt together and then share. That way, Zhong Lin could eat even more delicious food. (:з)∠)

Director: “That’s all?”

Zhong Lin: “Mm-hm.”

“Forget it. You can go.” The director spread his hands helplessly. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Zhong Lin stood up, preparing to leave.

“Wait, stay a little longer.” The director suddenly stopped her.

Look how angry the director was! He almost forgot the next process~

“Initial heartbeat pick. You have one minute. Be careful not to exceed the time.” The director deliberately reminded her.

The staff handed Zhong Lin the iPad. On the romantic pink interface on the screen were the gorgeous photos of the three Alphas—

Alpha guests: two female Alphas and one male Alpha.

Who should she choose?

Her little head became messy. Her thoughts flew everywhere. Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had on the way back in the car. That dream had been far too real: the exact same brows and eyes, cold white skin stained by scarlet blood…

In a daze, she also remembered Pei Yi’s slightly threatening words—

“Choose properly.”

A chill ran down her spine, and every hair on her body stood up. Zhong Lin silently shuddered.

It nearly scared the Bai Ze cub to death!!

Her gaze stopped on the only photo of the male Alpha, named “Zhu Ying.” This male Alpha looked very large. Even through a blue-and-white striped shirt, one could see his strong muscles.

He looked very suitable for hunting!

The photo in the middle was Female Alpha No. 2, named “Chu Yunze.”

Her long ponytail was tied high. Beneath two strands of bangs were sharp brows, and her eyes were long and narrow at the corners. Although she had the slightly aggressive appearance of an Alpha, her smile was like the spring breeze and looked very warm.

She looked like a very cool older sister!

Her gaze swept once more to the final photo.

The button directly beneath the photo read—

“Pei Yi.”

Her hair was shoulder-length, with one side tucked behind her ear. The shape of her ear was very delicate, and a fan-shaped earring hung from her earlobe. Rose gold was inlaid with white mother-of-pearl and diamonds.

Unlike the signature smiles of the previous two, the girl’s thin jaw was slightly raised. Her eyes glanced lightly toward the camera, and her red lips were faintly parted. She looked somewhat careless.

Cold and distant, gloomy and mysterious—or rather, she possessed a unique kind of high-class aura.

In truth, among the three photos, Zhong Lin had noticed her at first glance.

Pei Yi’s face seemed to carry a kind of bewitching quality. Her otherworldly beauty made it difficult to look away.

Zhong Lin raised her hand. Her fingertip unconsciously moved closer to the “Pei Yi” option on the screen, but stopped just half a centimeter away.

No. She absolutely could not choose Pei Yi. She did not like Pei Yi, and besides, if she chose Pei Yi, wouldn’t she be one step closer to the “BE ending”?

Zhong Lin’s finger slowly wandered between Alpha Guest No. 2 and Alpha Guest No. 3.

The director could not help reminding her, “Choose quickly.”

Time was almost up again. The director declared that he absolutely could not let the same program accident happen twice!!

Zhong Lin was still thinking. The director’s sudden voice startled her so much that she trembled, and her finger shook, accidentally touching the option for “A2 Chu Yunze.”

Ah, she had accidentally selected that Alpha cool sister with the warm smile. (:з)∠)

She had originally still been hesitating over whether to choose the male Alpha guest, Zhu Ying. His muscles looked very sturdy. He would definitely be fast and good at hunting!

But since her “hand slipped” and she had already chosen Female Alpha Guest No. 2—that older sister looked a little cool, but her smile was very gentle and infectious…

Zhong Lin: Then she would just choose her.

Anyway, she had not chosen Pei Yi, so she had taken a path completely different from the original plot. That meant she was farther from the BE ending!

So happy. (^▽^)~

…

Afterward, the other guests entered the solo interview room one after another to be interviewed.

At the same time, Zhong Lin returned to her own room.

She avoided the camera and entered the bathroom, sitting on the toilet lid as she quietly took out her phone.

A phone was a high-tech product invented by humans. At first, Zhong Lin had not known how to use it. Bai Ze cubs possessed “divinity.” Although Zhong Lin’s mental age was still that of a cub, her learning ability and logical thinking were very strong. In just a few minutes, she had completely figured out how to use a phone.

The current Zhong Lin had already learned how to use common apps~

She tapped open the Aiqiqi Video app and found the variety show’s channel.

Originally, the viewership ranking of the Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge dating variety show series had been near the bottom among all variety shows. Thanks to the original “Zhong Lin’s” dramatic, clingy, clout-chasing antics, Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge had climbed to fourth place on the “Trending Variety Shows” list.

Although the livestream screen was black during the solo interview period, the number of viewers watching in the lower-left corner continued to rise.

That was because the production team had already edited some footage from the solo interviews and released spoilers, visible in a small window beneath the video.

The bullet comments had gone crazy. The pitch-black screen was flooded with colorful comments—

[Holy crap?! Did Zhong Lin actually get replaced by someone else?! She really didn’t choose Pei Yi! What is going on????]

[Excuse me?? Zhou Xiaoduo chose Pei Yi!! His interaction with the super cool female Alpha Chu Yunze was so sweet before. My heart aches for Sister Yunze, wuwuwuwu.]

[Liang Shan actually chose Pei Yi too!! My mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at my phone?! Wasn’t Brother Ying’s date with her on the first day as sweet as full-sugar milk tea?! Crying a storm for Brother Ying, QAQ.]

[I don’t want Yiyi to choose anyone… I’m speechless at this group of Omegas.]

[So who will our Yiyi choose?? Ahhhhh, why is there nothing more?! I want to watch, I want to watch!!]

…

This phenomenon was actually very normal.

The Omega guests were fighting over Pei Yi not only because they desired her body, but even more because they desired all the resources she could bring.

The title of “youngest Best Actress” naturally brought a lot of attention.

Even if such a person completely left the entertainment industry, she would leave behind an immortal legend—although some people suspected that Pei Yi’s comeback was because she had run out of money. (:з)∠)

Without a doubt, the most popular Alpha was Pei Yi.

Even if the other two Omega guests had already had intimate interactions with other Alpha guests, they would not be satisfied. They still wanted to indirectly show goodwill toward Pei Yi.

The Omega guests would fight over the coolest, most Alpha-like, most beautiful, and most powerful Alpha guest. At the very least, they wanted to become more than friends with Pei Yi, because this did not only mean resources, popularity, and the chance to debut!

It also meant obtaining the “glorious label” on the show of successfully holding hands and dating the highest-quality Alpha.

Once they successfully connected a mutual-choice line with the highest-quality Alpha guest, it would indirectly mean they had outshone the other Omega guests!

Zhong Lin did not understand the little schemes of this group of Omega guests. After all, as a Bai Ze cub, the most important thing was to be happy. (:з)∠)~

Discovering that far fewer people were scolding her in the bullet comments, Zhong Lin giggled twice, then exited the video app. She opened Weibo and casually scrolled through it. In the trending searches, she saw topics related to Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge.

Under the tag #ThirtyOneDaysHeartbeatChallenge#, there were many posts from netizens—

[@HalfAChickenLegForYou: OMG! Why did I only notice Omega Guest No. 1 Zhong Lin’s beauty today, wuwu! [Shy] She’s simply a treasure girl covered in dust~ [Flowers]

I feel like the once-in-eight-thousand-years beautiful girl, the escaped Disney little princess, is our Zhong Lin!! [Starry eyes]]

[@HalfSugarMilkTeaNoIce: Yiyi, wuwuwu, love you, love you. Please be beautiful alone, okay? QAQ~]

[@TheFishpondIsMine: Slurp, let me lick Alpha No. 1 Little Pei Best Actress’s world-shaking beauty. I truly feel that Pei Yi will choose Omega No. 1 Zhong Lin in the “initial heartbeat pick”! The two of them were a little sweet today.]

The comment section of @TheFishpondIsMine exploded—

Netizen A: “I don’t care what you think, I only care what I think!!! Choose Zhong Lin? No way. I don’t believe it. Yiyi is so impatient with her… My Yiyi is annoyed to death by her! Pei Yi’s drama queen leg hairs, get out!”

Netizen B: “Taking away our Linlin. Politely asking the person upstairs to leave! Our cub Linlin didn’t choose Pei Yi today~ If the person upstairs is blind, I suggest using more Shapu Aisi eye drops!”

Netizen C: “Just a passerby. I think Little Best Actress Pei is pretty good, but your Zhong Lin really isn’t that good. Reason: Ababab@#$%”

Netizen B’s protective comment was soon drowned out by a wave of scolding.

…

Zhong Lin sighed and opened her own Weibo homepage.

@ZhongLin — Followers: 11,000.

Zhong Lin was super invincibly happy: Wow~ ＼(^▽^)／!

Originally, the original owner only had a little more than 200 followers. In just one day, she had actually gained so many fans!

Although she still did not have many fans, for an internet flop, Zhong Lin was already very satisfied~

She opened the first post on her homepage.

/Zhong Lin: Sunny day. Hope I can meet you. @ThirtyOneDaysHeartbeatChallengeOfficial

[Image] — A photo of the original “Zhong Lin” looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

Time: Two days ago.

Zhong Lin looked at that photo of someone with exactly the same face as her and fell silent. Large patches of unblended blue glitter eyeshadow, exaggeratedly flying, super thick “catwoman”-style eyeliner.

Zhong Lin: “…”

She finally understood why the makeup artist that morning had firmly opposed letting Zhong Lin do her own makeup!

Because the taste of the original “Zhong Lin” was way too freaking strange!

Zhong Lin forcefully resisted the urge to delete this Weibo post and opened the comment section.

[So ugly. Truly impressive! Looking like this and still throwing yourself at our Yiyi? I’m gagging. I’ll vomit first as respect!! [Vomit][Vomit]]

[Ahhhh, why did you let me see Zhong Lin’s photo!? Damn, this is practically a horror movie! I need to wash my eyes!! Hurry and mosaic Zhong Lin’s face! Ugly people cause the most trouble! Zhong Lin, get out of the entertainment industry!]

…

The comments from two days ago were almost entirely attacks and slander toward Zhong Lin’s appearance, crazily dissing her as “ugly without knowing it,” “shameless for leeching off Pei Yi’s popularity,” and so on.

So among the original Zhong Lin’s few followers, aside from zombie fans, there were also haters.

Sorting the comments by time, she saw today’s comments—

[A pearl covered in dust! Slapping the upstairs people in the face!! [Image][Image]]
The attached images were screenshots of Zhong Lin from today’s livestream.

[Still talking about looks? I’d like to see who dares to diss our Linlin’s appearance! Let me see if the faces of the people upstairs got slapped loudly enough!]

[Ahhh, cub, does your hand still hurt today? Mommy’s heart aches so much, TAT. Wuwu, remember to apply medicine!!]

[I only discovered the cub’s beauty today! Did I arrive too late? During the days without us, the cub’s Weibo was being scolded every day. QAQ, my heart hurts so much, and I regret not meeting you sooner, wuwu. [Crying storm]]

[Zhong Lin, jiayou!]

…

Those few comments at the top were the latest ones. Zhong Lin felt a strange sensation. A sudden warmth surged into her chest, and that hot feeling made her eyes feel a little sour.

Really, she could have fans too! Not haters, and not zombie fans!

Although these fans called her “cub,” which sounded a little strange.

Lowering her eyes, she looked at the cute bandage with a pink cat pattern on her arm. The spot that had been scraped in the morning no longer hurt much.

But Zhong Lin was not a delicate person. She was a strong and brave Bai Ze cub.

Haters and public opinion could not defeat a Bai Ze cub. Now she already had fans who truly liked her!

Her finger tapped on the phone screen. She exited Weibo and opened WeChat, online banking, and other apps. Zhong Lin roughly estimated her net worth:

2,333 yuan.

2333 yuan.

This number seemed to be mocking her.

Based on the purchasing power of human currency that Zhong Lin had estimated while playing outside today… this money would probably only be enough for her to scrape by with food and drink for one month.

For the first time, the Bai Ze cub felt the pressure of life.

Human society was filled with malice toward the weak and pitiful Bai Ze cub.

Zhong Lin: This is too hard for me, TAT.

“Knock, knock, knock—” Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Zhong Lin quickly put away her phone and trotted all the way out to open the door. “Coming~”
