A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 8

Zhong Lin opened the door.

Standing outside was a female Omega. She was slightly shorter than Zhong Lin, with short curly hair and bright, lively eyes.

“Come to the meeting,” the girl said with a polite smile.

Zhong Lin nodded. She carefully recalled the characters from the plot. There were three Omega guests in total. The male Omega was “Zhong Lin’s” best friend Zhou Xiao Duo. This must be the other female Omega guest, Liang Shan.

Following Liang Shan to the living room, several guests were already seated around the marble coffee table.

Sitting at the innermost part of the long sofa was a girl with a high ponytail — it was the female Alpha No.2 guest Chu Yunze, whom Zhong Lin had accidentally chosen.

The moment she saw Zhong Lin, the water glass in Chu Yunze’s hand shook, spilling a little water onto the back of her hand.

Pei Yi sat on the single sofa on the far left, legs crossed and hands resting on her knees, saying nothing.

Only the male Alpha No.3 guest, Zhu Ying, seemed completely carefree. He stood up first to make space for Zhong Lin: “Alright, everyone’s here.”

“We’ll draw lots to decide the cooking pairs.”

The results were: Pei Yi with Zhong Lin, Chu Yunze with Zhou Xiao Duo, and Zhu Ying with Liang Shan.

Everyone’s expressions were different. This cooking assignment was truly something~ They all suspected the program team had deliberately rigged the draws??

Male Omega No.2 Zhou Xiao Duo and Female Omega No.3 Liang Shan — these two Omegas had both chosen Pei Yi during the “Initial Heartbeat Pick,” abandoning the Alphas they had interacted with the most sweetly in the previous days.

Now they had to cook with the Alphas they had ditched.

Wow, how awkward ⊙_⊙

The first pair to cook was Pei Yi and Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin hesitated for a moment, clenching and unclenching her little fingers. She decided to honestly admit that she might, perhaps, probably… not know how to cook.

Human food was delicious, but the cooking methods were very intricate. This was really too difficult for a little Bai Ze cub.

Zhong Lin had only ever eaten food. She had never learned how to cook, nor had she ever cooked before.

In the era the little Bai Ze cub came from, roasted meat and clean water were already supreme delicacies.

Zhou Xiao Duo suddenly spoke up: “Zhong Lin’s hand is injured. I’ll take her place…”

“Does anyone have any objections?” Zhou Xiao Duo looked around the room. His gaze lingered especially long in Pei Yi’s direction as he secretly observed her reaction. Then he turned to Zhong Lin with smiling eyes.

“Xiao Lin, do you have any objections?”

Zhou Xiao Duo: Betting one cent that this scheming princess Zhong Lin won’t let me have my way. She definitely won’t give up any chance to be alone with Pei Yi!

Zhong Lin loosened her tightly clenched hand. Her eyes curved gently as she smiled softly at him: “Mhm, thank you~”

Zhou Xiao Duo: ??! Is this fucking Zhong Lin?!

Excuse Me??!! She just handed over this golden opportunity to be alone with Pei Yi like that?!

“Click click—” The sound of heels hitting the floor.

Pei Yi stood up, left the single sofa, and headed toward the kitchen alone.

Everyone dispersed — some returned to their rooms, others stayed in the living room to chat or watch TV.

Zhou Xiao Duo quickly followed behind Pei Yi toward the kitchen.

Zhong Lin thought for a moment. If she went straight back to her room… that would probably be very rude QAQ~

Tonight was originally supposed to be her turn to cook, but Zhou Xiao Duo had helped her avoid it.

One of the reasons the original “Zhong Lin” was hated: She had no brains. Despite being simple-minded and clumsy, she loved to act spoiled, was extremely self-centered, never did any work, constantly dissed others, and shamelessly threw herself at the female lead Alpha…

This showed that “being lazy and not working” was one of her original sins.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Lin still followed them into the kitchen.

The kitchen was open-style, with a white dining counter beside the cabinets.

As Zhong Lin passed the counter, she picked up an apron, looking somewhat at a loss.

Pei Yi turned around from the sink. She had already taken off her white blazer and was wearing a well-tailored, stylish black sleeveless dress with a black-and-white striped apron tied over it.

Seeing Zhong Lin return, Pei Yi’s hand that was drying paused for a moment: “Why did you come back?”

Zhong Lin said softly: “I… I wanted to help.”

At the same time, Zhou Xiao Duo walked in from the other side of the cabinets. He had an apron over his head and was turning his waist toward Pei Yi, seemingly hinting for her… to help him tie it.

Pei Yi acted as if she didn’t see it and asked calmly: “What do you want to eat?”

Zhou Xiao Duo: “Help me tie the apron first.”

Zhou Xiao Duo’s hint was very obvious. Tying an apron was somewhat intimate and would inevitably involve physical contact.

This was an opportunity to have “physical touch” with Pei Yi.

Zhong Lin smelled the scent of a task. Time to work! Work has arrived!!

“Okay~” Zhong Lin quickly rushed over from behind Pei Yi and in a few swift motions tightly tied Zhou Xiao Duo’s apron.

Zhou Xiao Duo: “……” Who asked you to tie it for me!!

“I can eat anything. I’m not picky.” Zhou Xiao Duo said helplessly. He thought Pei Yi’s earlier question “What do you want to eat?” was directed at him.

“What do you want to eat?” Pei Yi continued asking. “I’m asking you. Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Zhong Lin turned her head: ?

Zhong Lin looked up in confusion and met a pair of charming, seductive eyes.

Pei Yi had a very straight nose and heroic brows. She frowned slightly now, glaring at Zhong Lin with dissatisfaction: “If you’re not going to say anything, forget it.”

Her tone was clearly a bit impatient, arrogant yet cold and beautiful, carrying the unique intimidating presence of a top-tier Alpha.

Zhong Lin: What’s going on?! She’s calling me? Not Zhou Xiao Duo?

Zhong Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed and answered weakly: “I… I can eat anything too.”

Zhou Xiao Duo: “……”

Zhong Lin: “Is there anything I can help with?”

The apron in her hand was suddenly pulled away. Pei Yi casually tossed it onto a nearby cabinet: “Since you’re injured, just rest and don’t do anything. The wound can’t get wet.”

Her tone was almost commanding.

【I saw the spoiler for Zhou Xiao Duo’s Initial Heartbeat Pick! He chose Pei Yi. What a big green tea boy…】

【Secretly observing ing】

【Don’t hate our Xiao Duo! Xiao Duo is super cute!!】

……

Zhong Lin walked around to the outside of the cabinets. Suddenly thinking of something, she stopped before leaving and asked hesitantly:

“Then… do you know how to cook?”

A rich young lady like Pei Yi was usually the type who “couldn’t lift with her shoulders or hands and never did any manual labor,” right?

She might not even be as good at cooking as a little Bai Ze cub… Zhong Lin could at least skewer a little pig and roast it over a bonfire!

Zhou Xiao Duo started cutting vegetables. He was cutting onions, which was troublesome. Even though his eyes were stinging, he still answered Zhong Lin: “I can. Don’t you remember? I told you in high school.”

“I can.” Pei Yi nodded. She took out a clean bowl and two eggs from the cabinet.

“Really?” Zhong Lin let out a soft “Huh?” with a slightly rising tone, clearly very surprised that Pei Yi could cook.

“If you don’t believe me… go sit over there and wait.” Pei Yi raised her hand and pointed to the white dining counter outside the cabinets.

Zhou Xiao Duo (smile gradually disappearing ⊙__⊙): “……” So awkward. Why are these two suddenly talking while ignoring me?!

Zhong Lin pulled out a chair and obediently sat at the dining counter. This position gave her a perfect view of everything in the open kitchen.

Slender, fair fingers held the handle of the manual whisk, slowly stirring the egg mixture in the porcelain bowl. Pei Yi’s movements actually looked quite skilled?!

Pei Yi explained in a low voice: “I only know a little. I cook for myself occasionally.”

“Oh, then you’re pretty amazing,” Zhong Lin sat on the tall chair by the counter, her slender calves swinging lightly back and forth.

“No… you’ve always been amazing. After all, you’re Pei Yi…” Zhong Lin unconsciously sighed softly.

The female lead Alpha was super amazing in the original novel. Zhong Lin remembered it clearly. She vaguely recalled that Pei Yi was the youngest Best Actress — the kind of academic goddess Best Actress who had two degrees!

The little Bai Ze cub didn’t understand what use university or degrees had… but earlier while scrolling Weibo, she saw some people’s posts—

“Graduation thesis data is so hard to get!” “I’m dying… Mentor is calling another group meeting QAQ I want to die!” “Ah, I’m dead. Failed another subject again. The library rooftop is so cold. Linear Algebra teacher, please look at me.”

……

It sounded like university was a process of constant life-and-death struggle.

Yet Pei Yi managed to go through that “life-and-death” process twice while also being a Best Actress… She really was amazing!

The little Bai Ze cub silently gave Pei Yi a thumbs-up in her heart~

Silence fell on the other side. Pei Yi placed ham between slices of toast, then laid them in the frying pan and evenly poured a layer of golden egg mixture over them.

Her movements were very careful. From this angle, one could see Pei Yi’s side profile. Her black hair hung over her round, fair shoulders. She slightly lowered her chin, gazing intently into the frying pan with a serious expression…

But the tips of her ears gradually turned red.

【Oh man, it’s starting again… These two are completely bypassing Zhou Xiao Duo and having a conversation across space hahahahaha】

【2333333333 Zhou Xiao Duo is so tragic!】

【Green tea boy getting frustrated ing】

【Patting Xiao Duo, taking our Xiao Duo away. People upstairs, stop spamming “green tea boy.” Little brother Xiao Duo is just too kind-hearted. You’re all the bad ones, you stinky haters!】

……

A few minutes later, a golden French toast was placed on a pure white plate and brought to the counter in front of Zhong Lin. Slender fingers lightly tapped the table:

“Try it?” Pei Yi took a knife and fork from the utensil rack and handed them to Zhong Lin.

Her fair arm rested on the white counter. Her dark brown eyes were slightly lowered as she looked at the top of Zhong Lin’s round head. Her expression was complicated. “About what happened this morning… thank you.”

The low voice came from above her head, as if she didn’t want a third person to hear.

Zhong Lin looked up. Their eyes met. The other person’s dark brown eyes reflected her silhouette.

With a dazed look, Zhong Lin tilted her head slightly. Many little question marks representing confusion seemed to pop up above her head—

What happened this morning? What thing?

Why was Pei Yi thanking her?!
