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

Upon hearing “choose carefully,” Zhong Lin’s first reaction was confusion. But after carefully recalling the plot of the female Alpha × male Omega novel,

The next step after the solo interview was… the “Initial Heartbeat Pick,” right?

And Pei Yi told her to choose carefully?

The corner of Zhong Lin’s mouth twitched. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond… By the time she recovered and tried to put on a bright, sunny smile to look at Pei Yi,

The person in front of her had already disappeared.

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

Zhong Lin let out a breath. It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m the best Bai Ze cub (:з)∠)

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

The director explained the rules as usual.

Zhong Lin listened carefully, then nodded lightly to show she understood.

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

The director gave an “OK” gesture.

Facing the camera, Zhong Lin curved her lips into a smile, revealing neat white teeth beneath her pink lips. Shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks:

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

“I hope I can fulfill my wishes during this show.”

Then came another minute of silence.

The silence made the director’s head hurt even more today. What was this? One after another? “Fulfill my wishes”? Could you at least be specific about what those wishes are (⊙_⊙)

The director cleared his throat and raised his hand to pause the recording: “Briefly describe the type of person you’re attracted to?”

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

Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She was still just a little Bai Ze cub. What type did she like? She really didn’t know. Human society was too difficult to navigate (:з)∠)

Then she should say a type completely different from the female lead~ The farther away from the female lead, the less likely she would make a mistake.

Zhong Lin: “I really like gentle people, especially those who are very enthusiastic. I feel comfortable being with that kind of person~”

(For example, the elders in her clan were gentle and enthusiastic. A long, long time ago, they often brought her lots and lots of delicious food~)

The director continued to guide: “When you find such a person, what do you most want to do with them?”

Director: This is so hard QAQ. These really are the worst guests I’ve ever worked with!

It felt like trying to squeeze the last bit out of an almost empty toothpaste tube. Squeeze a little more, then a little more. This “solo interview” would have to rely entirely on post-editing later.

Zhong Lin continued: “We can go to all the places we want to go~”

“We can catch fish in the river together, catch shrimp by the sea, play lots and lots of fun things, eat lots and lots of delicious food, and be together every day~”

(Every day we hunt together and then share the food, so Zhong Lin can eat even more delicious things~ (:з)∠）)

Director: “That’s it?”

Zhong Lin: “Mhm.”

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

Zhong Lin stood up, ready to leave.

“Wait, stay for a moment.” The director suddenly stopped her.

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

“Initial Heartbeat Pick. You have one minute. Make sure not to go over time.” The director specially reminded her.

The staff handed Zhong Lin an iPad. On the romantic pink interface were photos of the three Alpha guests — two female Alphas and one male Alpha.

Who should she choose?

Her little head became chaotic, her thoughts flying everywhere. Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had on the way back in the car. That dream felt so real — the exact same eyebrows and eyes, cold white skin stained with bright red blood…

In a daze, she also recalled Pei Yi’s slightly threatening words — “Choose carefully.”

A chill ran down her spine, and all her hairs stood on end. Zhong Lin silently shivered.

It was so scary it could frighten a little Bai Ze cub to death!!

Her gaze stopped on the only male Alpha named “Zhu Ying.” He looked very strong. Even through the blue-and-white striped shirt, his muscular build was obvious.

He looked like he would be great at hunting!

The middle photo was of the second female Alpha guest, “Chu Yunze.”

She had a high ponytail, sharp eyebrows under two strands of bangs, and long narrow eye tails. Although her appearance had a slightly aggressive Alpha quality, her smile was like a spring breeze — very warm.

She looked like a cool big sister!

Her eyes swept to the last photo again.

Below the photo was the button — “Pei Yi.”

Her hair was shoulder-length. One side was tucked behind her ear, revealing a delicate ear shape. A small fan-shaped earring hung from her earlobe, made of rose gold with white mother-of-pearl and diamonds.

Unlike the signature smiles of the first two, the girl had a slightly raised slender jaw, her eyes lightly glancing toward the camera, and her red lips slightly parted. She looked somewhat indifferent.

Cold and distant, gloomy and mysterious, or rather, she had a unique sense of elegance.

Actually, among the three photos, Zhong Lin noticed her at first glance.

Pei Yi’s face seemed almost bewitching. Her ethereal beauty made it hard to look away.

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

No, she absolutely could not choose Pei Yi. She didn’t like Pei Yi anyway. And if she chose Pei Yi, wouldn’t that bring her even closer to the “Bad Ending”?

Zhong Lin’s finger slowly hovered between Alpha 2 and Alpha 3.

The director couldn’t help but urge: “Hurry up and choose.”

Time was almost up. The director was determined not to let the same incident happen twice!!

While Zhong Lin was still deep in thought, the director’s sudden voice startled her. Her finger trembled and accidentally tapped the “A2 Chu Yunze” option.

Ah, she accidentally chose the warm-smiling cool Alpha big sister (:з)∠)

She had still been hesitating whether to choose the male Alpha — Zhu Ying? His muscles looked very solid. He would definitely be fast and good at hunting!

But since her “hand slipped” and she already chose the second female Alpha — that sister looked quite cool but had a very gentle and infectious smile…

Zhong Lin: Then let’s go with her.

Anyway, as long as she didn’t choose Pei Yi, she would be walking a completely different path from the original plot. That meant she would be even farther from the Bad Ending!

So happy (^▽^)~

……

After that, the other guests took turns entering the solo interview room.

Meanwhile, Zhong Lin returned to her room.

She avoided the cameras and slipped into the bathroom, sitting on the toilet lid. She quietly took out her phone.

Phones were high-tech products invented by humans. At first, Zhong Lin didn’t know how to use them. However, as a Bai Ze cub with “divinity,” even though her 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 the phone—

Now Zhong Lin had already learned how to use common apps~

She opened the iQiyi app and found the channel for the variety show.

Originally, the Thirty-One Days of Heartbeat Challenge series had one of the lowest ratings among variety shows. Thanks to the original “Zhong Lin’s” scheming, clout-chasing, and desperate pursuit antics, it had climbed to 4th place on the “Hot Variety Show” list.

Although the screen was black during the solo interviews, the number of viewers in the bottom left corner was steadily rising.

The program team had already edited some clips from the solo interviews and released teasers, which could be seen in a small window below the video.

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

【WTF?! Did Zhong Lin get replaced?! She actually didn’t choose Pei Yi! What’s going on????】

【Excuse me?? Zhou Xiao Duo chose Pei Yi!! His interactions with the super cool female Alpha Chu Yunze were so sweet earlier. Poor Sister Yunze wuwuwuwu】

【Liang Shan also chose Pei Yi!! My mom asked me why I’m kneeling while looking at my phone?! Wasn’t her first date with Brother Ying full of unlimited sweet sugar?! Crying violently for Brother Ying QAQ】

【I don’t want Yi Yi to choose anyone… Speechless at these Omegas.】

【So who will our Yi Yi choose?? Ahhhhh why is it gone?! I want to see I want to see!!】

……

This phenomenon was actually very normal.

The Omega guests were fighting over Pei Yi not only because they coveted her herself, but also because of all the resources she could bring.

The title of youngest Best Actress alone would bring a lot of popularity.

Even if someone like her completely withdrew from the entertainment industry, she would still leave behind an immortal legend. Although some suspected that Pei Yi’s comeback was because she was short on 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 Alphas, they still weren’t willing to give up and wanted to indirectly show goodwill toward Pei Yi.

The Omega guests were fighting for the coolest, most A, most beautiful, and most powerful Alpha guest. At the very least, becoming more than friends with Pei Yi meant resources, fame, and debut opportunities!

It also meant earning the “glory label” of successfully holding hands and going on dates with the highest-quality Alpha in the show—

Once successfully paired with the best Alpha, it was equivalent to subtly suppressing the other Omega guests!

Zhong Lin didn’t understand these little thoughts of the other Omegas. After all, as a Bai Ze cub, the most important thing was to be happy (:з)∠)~

Noticing that there were far fewer people scolding her in the comments, Zhong Lin chuckled twice, then exited the video app. She opened Weibo and casually scrolled, seeing topics related to Thirty-One Days of Heartbeat Challenge in the hot search.

In the #ThirtyOneDaysHeartbeatChallenge# tag, there were many netizens’ posts—

【@ChickenLegShareWithYou: OMG! Why did I only discover Omega No.1 Zhong Lin’s beauty today wuwu! [shy] She’s like a treasure girl covered in dust~ [flowers]

I feel like the once-in-eight-thousand-years beautiful girl and Disney runaway little princess is our Zhong Lin!! [sparkling eyes]】

【@MilkTeaHalfSugarNoIce: Yi Yi, wuwuwu, love you love you. Please stay beautiful by yourself, okay? QAQ~】

【@IContractedTheFishPond: Slurp~ Licking a bite of Alpha No.1 Little Pei Best Actress’s peerless beauty. I genuinely think Pei Yi will choose Omega No.1 Zhong Lin in the “Initial Heartbeat Pick”! The two of them were a bit sweet today.】

The comment section under @IContractedTheFishPond exploded—

Netizen A: “I don’t care what you think, I want what I think!!! Choose Zhong Lin? No way! I don’t believe it. Yi Yi is so impatient with her… My Yi Yi is sick of her! Scheming Zhong Lin, get lost!”

Netizen B: “Taking my Linlin away. Politely asking the person above to leave! My cub Linlin didn’t choose Pei Yi today~ If your eyes are bad, I suggest you use more Sharp Eyes!”

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

Netizen B’s defense was quickly drowned out by a flood of curses.

……

Zhong Lin sighed and opened her own Weibo page.

@Zhong Lin — Followers: 11,000.

Zhong Lin Super Invincible Happy: Wow~ ＼(^▽^)／!

The original owner only had around 200 followers. In just one day, she had gained so many!

Although she still didn’t have many followers, for an 18th-tier nobody, Zhong Lin was already very satisfied~

She opened the first post on her homepage.

/Zhong Lin: Sunny day, I hope I can meet you @ThirtyOneDaysHeartbeatChallenge Official Weibo

【Attached Photo】— A photo of the original “Zhong Lin” looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Posted: Two days ago

Zhong Lin fell silent looking at the photo of a face identical to her own. Large unblended blue glitter eyeshadow, exaggerated flying “cat girl” style thick eyeliner.

Zhong Lin: “……”

She finally understood why the makeup artist sister that morning firmly refused to let her do her own makeup!

Because the original “Zhong Lin’s” taste was just too freaking weird!

Zhong Lin resisted the urge to delete the post and opened the comment section—

【So ugly, you really did it! Looking like this and still throwing yourself at our Yi Yi. I feel sick. I’ll vomit first to show respect!! [vomit][vomit]】

【Ahhhhh why did I have to see Zhong Lin’s photo!? Fuck, it’s like a horror movie! I need to wash my eyes!! Hurry up 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 all attacks and slander on Zhong Lin’s appearance, wildly dissing her for “being ugly but not knowing it,” “riding Pei Yi’s popularity,” and “having no shame”…

(Turned out that among the original Zhong Lin’s few followers, besides zombie accounts, most were anti-fans.)

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

【Treasure covered in dust! Slapping the faces of people above!! [picture][picture]】 (Attached were screenshots from today’s live broadcast)

【And you dare talk about appearance! I’d like to see who dares to diss our Linlin’s appearance! See if the slap to your face hurts!】

【Ahhh, does the cub’s hand still hurt today? Mama is so heartbroken TAT wuwu. Remember to apply medicine!!】

【I only discovered the cub’s beauty today! Did I come too late? During the days we weren’t here, the cub’s Weibo was cursed every day. QAQ I’m so heartbroken and regret not meeting you sooner wuwu [violent crying]】

【Zhong Lin fighting!】

……

These were the latest comments. Zhong Lin felt a strange sensation. A warm feeling suddenly surged in her chest, making her eyes a little sore.

Really, she could have real fans too! Not anti-fans, not zombie accounts!

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

Looking down at the cute band-aid with a pink cat pattern on her arm, the scraped area from this morning no longer hurt.

But Zhong Lin wasn’t a delicate person. She was a strong and brave Bai Ze cub…

Anti-fans and public opinion couldn’t defeat a Bai Ze cub. Now she had fans who genuinely liked her!

She tapped on the phone screen, exited Weibo, and opened WeChat and online banking 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 she had estimated while playing today… this amount of money would probably only be enough for her to barely eat and drink for a month.

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

Human society was full of malice toward a weak and pitiful little Bai Ze cub.

Zhong Lin: I’m having such a hard time TAT.

“Knock knock knock——” There was suddenly a knocking sound at the door.

Zhong Lin quickly put away her phone and trotted over to open the door: “Coming~”
