A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 9
“Does it hurt?” Pei Yi continued asking in a low voice, lowering her eyes to look at the girl’s hand with the bandage on it. “How is your hand?”
“It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt.” Zhong Lin shook her head repeatedly.
So what Pei Yi had thanked her for earlier was—
The matter of Zhong Lin blocking the crate for her.
This little injury was nothing to a Bai Ze cub. It was no problem at all. After one day, it no longer hurt~
Holding the knife and fork, Zhong Lin felt a little at a loss. She did not understand why humans sometimes used three kinds of utensils, and even less did she understand how she was supposed to use two utensils at the same time with one paw.
Although modern civilization had been implanted into her mind the instant she transmigrated into the book, no one had taught Zhong Lin these kinds of details.
Zhong Lin gripped the handle of the table knife with her palm as though she were assassinating the “enemy who killed her shark father,” stabbing straight into the very center of the toast. With one slash, she lifted the entire piece of French toast.
Then Zhong Lin opened her little abyssal mouth and directly began gnawing while holding the knife handle.
Pei Yi: “…”
Pei Yi truly could not bear to watch. Having learned “table manners” since childhood, she had never seen someone so “barbaric and reckless.” She felt that if Zhong Lin were given a roast suckling pig, this fellow would directly hold the roasting fork and gnaw on the pigskin…
Pei Yi pressed her lips together. A smile unconsciously spread at the corners of her mouth. Unable to hold back her laughter, she took the knife and fork from Zhong Lin’s hands and used the knife handle to pull down the huge piece of food Zhong Lin was biting.
“That’s not how you eat it.”
Zhong Lin suddenly felt a tiny bit wronged. Didn’t she say she was giving it to her to eat~
Why was she snatching food from under the Bai Ze cub’s mouth? TAT~
Pei Yi patiently cut it into small pieces for her with the table knife, then speared a small piece with the fork and handed it to Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin took the fork and once again revealed her signature pure, kind cub smile of gratitude. “Thank you, Pei Yi.”
Being human was so troublesome. Such a small piece—when she was in her divine beast form, she could swallow it in one bite.
“Pei Yi.” Zhou Xiaoduo had finally finished cutting the onion. Whether he was angered by this scene or irritated by the onion, his eyes were filled with glittering tears. “I want to eat some too.”
Only then did Pei Yi remember that there was a third person in the kitchen. She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Xiaoduo behind her. The Omega boy wearing a little apron was short, and the corners of his eyes were red.
The little male Omega looked pitiful.
Any Alpha would be unable to refuse such a cute and innocent little male Omega.
Unfortunately, a certain Alpha did not understand romance at all.
Pei Yi lowered her eyes and saw the onion he had cut and the washed slices of beef. “Don’t you know how to cook? Make it yourself…”
“Your hand isn’t injured, is it?” Pei Yi’s voice was cold. As an Alpha, she had absolutely none of the tenderness an Alpha should have toward an Omega.
Zhou Xiaoduo hit a wall. He bit his back teeth, turned around, and continued stir-frying his onion beef. The smoke made his eyes sting even more. He raised his head and glanced upward, only then realizing that he had not turned on the range hood.
Zhou Xiaoduo sniffed, raised his hand, and pressed the button for the range hood. Then he lowered his head and continued cooking, feeling both dejected and angry.
This time, Zhong Lin had won.
So what?
There was still a long road ahead anyway.
Today, Pei Yi was only thanking her for what happened in the morning. In the future, Pei Yi would only hate Zhong Lin more and more.
After all, Zhong Lin was that stupid and foolish. She would forever only be worthy of being his foil.
The highest-quality Alpha would absolutely never fall for a stupid Omega.
Facing the wall, Zhou Xiaoduo’s lips curved into a cold smile.
The outside had been fried until slightly crisp, while the inside was soft. Pei Yi had fried the French toast perfectly.
Zhong Lin took one bite, then another, then another. The little hand holding the fork almost danced afterimages in the air.
Zhong Lin: French toast is so yummy~
[Hahaha, our cub only thinks about eating. She’s too cute. You all go fight over Pei Yi. We’re taking our Lin cub away~]
[Pei Yi was so biased just now. She only made French toast for Zhong Lin… This feels a little shippable!]
[Ship your big watermelon! It’s only been one day. Yiyi would never like Zhong Lin… Can’t you tell Yiyi is only compensating her because her hand got injured?! Blind!]
[+1. Pei Yi should be beautiful alone!]
…
At the same time, another figure poked her head out from the corridor.
“Wow~ Who made that~ I want to eat some too.” Omega Guest No. 3, Liang Shan, murmured as she stared at the plate under Zhong Lin’s hands.
Liang Shan, who had been secretly observing from the living room the entire time, naturally knew who had made it…
“I only made one portion,” Pei Yi answered coldly, thinking that it was only to compensate Zhong Lin for blocking the crate for her that morning.
Pei Yi did not even raise her head. She sliced the lettuce in her hands into thin strips, every strip cut to equal length and width. When she cut vegetables, she was as serious and focused as a craftsman.
It seemed that no matter who had come just now, it made no difference to Pei Yi.
Liang Shan: “…”
Being coldly rejected by the Alpha she liked most, QAQ.
Zhou Xiaoduo quickly tried to smooth things over. “Haha… I’ll make you a fried egg. What do you like on it? Black pepper or ketchup?”
“I don’t like either.” Liang Shan curled her lips.
The smile on Liang Shan’s face was very distant. After being gently rejected by Pei Yi, her mood had practically fallen to rock bottom.
As for the “step” Zhou Xiaoduo handed over, Liang Shan did not want to take it at all.
What kind of person was Zhou Xiaoduo? Aside from that little fool Zhong Lin, any Omega could smell the “tea fragrance” coming from him.
Omegas had a very accurate eye when looking at other Omegas! They were all thousand-year-old Green Tea Bitches, so why was he pretending to be Pu’er tea in front of her?!
The livestream comments—
[Oh my god~~ Three Omegas and one Alpha, a Shura field right from the start! Victory depends entirely on fighting for attention! Love it, love it!]
[Look at Liang Shan. She didn’t give Zhou Xiaoduo any face at all! Look at Liang Shan pouting after being rejected by Yiyi, and Zhou Xiaoduo’s face is almost green! I’m seriously dying of laughter, 233333.]
[I feel like these two Omega guests have already secretly started a war. The smell of jealousy is strong, and the smell of gunpowder is even stronger~~~]
[This is really strange. Weren’t they interacting with the other two Alpha guests before? Why are they all crowding around Yiyi now?!]
…
But the Bai Ze cub did not care about these undercurrents between Omegas at all~
The French toast in her mouth was simply too fragrant. The condensed milk had a rich milky scent, and the ham was fried to a savory perfection. So yummy. _(:з)∠)~
She finished it in minutes~
Zhong Lin stared tightly at the plate with both eyes, swallowed a small mouthful of saliva, and forcefully resisted the urge to lick the remaining condensed milk inside.
She suddenly realized that she had actually eaten it all and had not left even a single piece for the person who cooked it. Zhong Lin raised her head in a panic. “Ah… Sorry.”
“I forgot to leave some for you.”
Finishing it this quickly, while still looking as though she wanted more, was the truest affirmation for the person who cooked.
When Pei Yi took the plate away, her hand trembled lightly. She did not say a word, only bent down and stuffed the plate into the dishwasher. “Only this once.”
She would never make it again.
Just consider it repayment for Zhong Lin helping her block the crate that morning.
After Zhong Lin finished eating the delicious food, she saw that the tiny kitchen space now had three people crowded into it. It seemed the kitchen no longer needed her help?
Zhong Lin rubbed her small hands together, turned around, and silently left. She took no credit or fame with her, only casually picked up the trash bag from the kitchen garbage bin.
“Then you all make dinner. I’ll go out and throw away the trash~”
[Ahhh, cub is so obedient~ She took the initiative to throw away the trash!]
[Why do I feel like Zhong Lin has changed?? Is this still that clingy, clout-chasing, ugly Omega Zhong Lin?? She even knows how to work and throw away trash?!]
[Me too… I suddenly feel like Zhong Lin has turned into a little cutie?]
[As long as she doesn’t harass our Yiyi, I can temporarily consider not hating on her. [Shrug]]
[Tch, Zhong Lin’s performance these past two days was seriously awful. I hope she stays far, far away from our Pei Yi!!]
…
It started again. Zhong Lin’s few passerby fans and Pei Yi’s solo fans began tearing into each other in the bullet comments once more.
After Zhong Lin left, Liang Shan actually took the initiative to come into the kitchen and help.
The atmosphere between the three of them was extraordinarily strange. For a time, they fell into terrifying silence.
After a long while, Pei Yi suddenly said, without context, “I feel like some things have changed…”
“No, I’ve always known how to cook.” Zhou Xiaoduo did not understand what Pei Yi meant and began narcissistically leading the topic toward himself.
“Who?” Liang Shan had clearly realized that Pei Yi was not talking about her.
Pei Yi: “Zhong Lin.”
Zhou Xiaoduo: “…”
Ignored again.
Liang Shan gave a dry laugh. “That’s very normal.”
“People all change. The you of today, the you of yesterday, and the you of tomorrow will all become different.”
“But you’ve always been beautiful.” Liang Shan narrowed her eyes slightly, as if making an unintentional compliment.
“Not the slightest bit different from two years ago.”
Pei Yi: “…”
Not moved at all. She simply did not want to speak.
Liang Shan leaned over, moving closer in Pei Yi’s direction. Her hair intentionally or unintentionally brushed over Pei Yi’s exposed shoulder.
“You’re making salad…” The female Omega’s sweet, soft laugh sounded beside her ear.
The hair brushing against the side of her shoulder made it itch slightly. At the tip of her nose, Pei Yi smelled a faint fragrance. It was an Omega’s pheromones.
Pei Yi raised her head, moving her gaze away from the glass salad bowl. The female Omega opposite her lifted a hand to play with her hair, revealing the fair and tender inner side of her slender wrist.
Today, Liang Shan had deliberately used a permeable scent-blocking patch. A little of the Omega’s pheromones leaked out—a faint fragrance, sweet and delicate, teasing in a way that seemed both present and absent.
It smelled very alluring. Any Alpha would be unable to resist it.
There was a smile at the corner of Liang Shan’s lips. She had always been very good at grasping the boundaries of interaction and ambiguity with Alphas.
