After Appearing on a Dating Show with a Top-Star Omega - Chapter 18
After the meal.
Qin Yiting began arranging tomorrow’s task.
On Sunday, the couples would have their first date.
Once she finished speaking, Jiang Yuan and Yu Qingshi exchanged a glance. Both saw a trace of suspicion in the other’s eyes.
Was it really that simple?
The bullet comments also understood Qin Yiting’s usual style.
[Do you believe tomorrow is just a normal date, or do you believe I’m Wu Zetian?]
[Greetings, Your Majesty. [kneeling]]
“Of course,” Qin Yiting suddenly spoke, and both the people present and the bullet comments let out a breath of relief.
It was better for her to say it outright than to secretly make trouble.
“The journey to finding one’s partner is not that easy. For this date, the Alpha will design the location and content, then choose a corresponding item for the Omega to select.”
“For the first date, we will use blind selection for pairing.”
The bullet comments exploded.
[Blind selection??? What are you doing? I didn’t come here to break them apart. I came here to join them!]
[Better to tear down ten temples than ruin one marriage. Producer Qin is ruthless enough.]
[If you put it that way, Lei Lei and Chen Shu are already divorced.]
[Actually, that’s what I’ve wanted to ask this whole time. How did those two come on a dating show?]
Jiang Yuan lowered her head uneasily and glanced at Yu Qingshi.
Yu Qingshi’s expression remained calm. Without showing anything, she hooked her right hand around the other person’s lowered palm and lightly traced across it to comfort her.
Her cool, clear voice sounded. “There are Betas here too. Producer Qin, please be a little more precise with your wording.”
Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Yuan’s lips uncontrollably curved upward.
Then she remembered they were filming and immediately tried to press it down with her cheeks. But because she used too much force, her apple cheeks bulged instead, and even her lips were pressed pale.
Instead, she looked secretly delighted.
[Jiang Yuan! Keep your apple cheeks flat!]
[Her tail is wagging like a propeller. Perfect, I can use it as a fan.]
[My sister is so indulgent. Domineering Omega’s delicate Beta wife!]
[Who are these two secretly holding hands over there?]
[Hooking fingers~~~ hooking fingers~~~]
Under the pressure of her childhood friend’s icy gaze, Qin Yiting bit the bullet and read the rules again, this time adding Beta.
She held up a smile. “Does anyone have any other questions?”
“No.” Everyone answered in unison.
“Good.” Qin Yiting began cueing the next segment. “Every night in the Heartbeat House, there will be a letter-delivery segment. Letters sent the previous day may be viewed by one’s partner the following night.”
“If there are no other questions, please write your letters first, then go to the mailbox in order to deliver them.”
The delivery order would be random and announced by text message.
Several people chose their stationery and envelopes, then got up and returned to their rooms in pairs to write their letters.
Jiang Yuan followed Yu Qingshi closely and chose the same stationery.
The two were separated by the filming crew. Each of them had a camera filming them, and they were not allowed to look at each other’s writing.
They were some distance apart. Jiang Yuan looked over with eager anticipation. “Qingshi, what are you writing?”
Yu Qingshi’s brows and eyes were serious, and her pen moved smoothly. “What I’m writing… tomorrow’s Yuanyuan can know.”
“Today’s Yuanyuan can’t.”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes drooped, and she actually felt a little envious of tomorrow’s self.
She also started writing.
Yu Qingshi was called downstairs first. Only a while later was Jiang Yuan called.
Jiang Yuan got up and went downstairs.
The mailboxes had been placed in a small room on the first floor. They were lined up one by one, forming a wall. Each mailbox had a name tag stuck to it.
Jiang Yuan delivered the pink envelope in her hand.
She turned and left. Just as she was about to walk out the door, her toes turned, and she walked back again.
The mailboxes were entirely white, with a pink heart painted in the very center. Their arrangement was based on the couples.
Naturally, the two of their mailboxes were next to each other.
The delivery slot was the most common long, flat rectangular shape. Through the light outside, one could vaguely see what was inside.
Jiang Yuan walked to the two mailboxes. She was the last person to deliver a letter, and Yu Qingshi had delivered hers earlier.
[? Why did she turn back? This is a couples’ dating show. Isn’t everyone sending one-to-one letters?]
[Maybe she’s worried the letter her sister sent her got carried away by ants. [snickering]]
Jiang Yuan bent down to look.
Unexpectedly, she was looking at Yu Qingshi’s mailbox.
Jiang Yuan squeezed one eye shut and peered through the gap.
Light shone into the dark mailbox. A pink letter lay quietly inside.
She breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what she had been blindly worried about.
Then she finally left.
[She’s crazy. This is a couples’ dating show. Who would send a letter to your sister!!!]
[Aiyo, this little Jiang puppy. I really can’t anymore.]
[Of course she has to worry. To be honest, one pair is BE and one pair is a screen CP. Jiang Yuan is the person who should worry the most, right? [snickering]]
[She probably sleeps like that at midnight too, squinting one eye. [wink]]

Sunday morning.
Sunlight shone over the ocean. A light breeze blew past, and ripples rose across the blue waves, shattering the gold and making it sparkle.
The three people woke early to plan their dates. After selecting their items, they left one by one, heading to their respective date locations to wait.
After the three Omegas finished their makeup and came downstairs, the team had already set up the cameras in the living room.
Qin Yiting placed three items separately on the table.
They were a silver fork, a dolphin plush toy, and a power bank.
“We’ll use the most primitive lottery method to decide the selection order.”
Although she called it primitive, in order to ensure everyone had the same probability, Qin Yiting had no intention of letting them draw by hand.
She directly brought up a lottery program.
On the screen, the three people’s names and profile pictures spun and spun, then were each assigned a number, producing the result.
The order was Gu Feifei, Yu Qingshi, and Chen Shu.
Chen Shu from the divorced group shrugged, not caring much.
Gu Feifei stepped forward to observe the three items.
Because the two of them had to cooperate to stir-fry their CP, Ling Yu had already told her yesterday what she was thinking.
“Yu” and “fish.”
Her gaze swept over the dolphin plush. The answer was obvious.
But she was first…
Gu Feifei glanced unwillingly at Yu Qingshi beside her.
After noticing that the other person’s gaze remained on the power bank on the right for a long time, she walked over and stood there. “I want this.”
Gu Feifei was full of confidence. When she saw Yu Qingshi lower her head from the corner of her eye, she became even more pleased with herself.
Yu Qingshi’s black hair fell beside her face, just right to hide the upward curve of her lips.
She stepped toward the silver fork on the far left and stood still. “I choose this.”
The remaining dolphin plush was naturally given to Chen Shu.
The three Omegas left the villa separately by car.
When the first three were selecting items, Qin Yiting deliberately covered the camera and did not let the audience see, so now the bullet comments were also chattering, their guesses all over the place.
[Silver fork. Cooking, right? It should be Jiang Yuan.]
[Ling Yu, sounds like fish. Dolphin plush?]
[Then according to that? Doesn’t that mean two couples are mismatched?]
[Hahahaha, transit romance is here. This bizarre dating show’s waters run too deep.]
Yu Qingshi rested against the car window, holding the silver fork and swaying it back and forth as she thought.
Qin Yiting would not give people too much time to choose. She would even restrict them to selecting items only from the villa’s first floor to increase the fun.
This silver fork should be the one she used while eating yesterday.
After all, she was the only one who had found it troublesome while eating chicken wings and had used a fork to spear them.
Besides.
Yu Qingshi lowered her eyes. Her lashes hid the emotions in them, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.
The silver fork in front of her had thoughtfully been tied with a small pink bow made of thin ribbon from who-knew-where.
The European-style embossed pattern, paired with the bow, looked delicate and pretty.
In that rushed situation, someone had instantly found an item the two of them could recognize, and fearing it would be too plain, had carefully decorated it a little.
Yu Qingshi’s eyes curved.
Only that obedient puppy would do something like this.

On the other side.
Jiang Yuan could not sit still at all. She stood in the shop, walking back and forth, pacing repeatedly.
The shop owner watched her and nearly made her own eyes dizzy.
The owner advised, “Sit down and rest for a bit. Maybe your partner will arrive soon.”
“Okay, thank you.” Jiang Yuan obediently sat down.
Not even one second later, she immediately stood up and began mechanically circling again.
The owner: “…”
Jiang Yuan’s footsteps could not stop. Her face was full of conflict.
One moment, she worried that someone might take the silver fork first.
The next moment, she sighed, regretting it.
If she had known earlier, she would not have tied the bow.
“Ring, ring.”
The wind chimes at the entrance sounded as someone walked in.
Jiang Yuan’s steps instantly became disordered, and she hurriedly raised her eyes to look.
Light streamed in from outside the door, shining through the glass door onto the person, outlining that person’s exquisite, slender figure.
She was buried in shadow, making her face unclear.
The shell wind chimes lifted with the breeze, ringing softly.
Jiang Yuan’s heartbeat slowed by half a beat, but before her mind could react, the corners of her lips had already curved into a smile.
“Qingshi.”
Yu Qingshi walked forward, and the indoor light shifted onto her, revealing her completely.
She shook the fork and smiled. “Successful pairing.”
The bullet comments instantly began flooding.
[Successful pairing!!!]
[So sweet… I feel like sugar is flowing through my blood. I want to fall in love QAQ]
[How about giving you some insulin?]
[I just came back from next door. The other two pairs were both wrong, ahahahaha, I’m dying. Gu Feifei’s face went black. Looks like the foundation isn’t fake white anymore; now she’s truly black.]
The shop was called Silver Moon STUDIO, a DIY silver jewelry store.
The cat paw earrings flickered with silver light in Jiang Yuan’s hair. The purpose behind Jiang Yuan choosing this place was obvious.
“Didn’t Qingshi want dog paw earrings? I asked the shop owner here. They have molds, so they can make them.”
Yu Qingshi froze. Her memory returned to that night in the car. While touching Jiang Yuan’s earlobe, she had casually sighed, “Too bad there aren’t dog paw earrings.”
She had not expected Jiang Yuan to keep it in her heart, remembering it all the way until now.
The other person was full of interest, her dark eyes flashing with broken light, full of expectation.
But she clearly did not know what those words actually meant.
Yu Qingshi raised her hand to cover the corner of her lips, but her smile still escaped through her eyes.
Really… so obedient.
“Okay. Then make these dog paw earrings for me to wear.”
The bullet comments exploded in an instant.
[!!! What did I say!!! What did I say!!! Didn’t I tell you all to look at Jiang Yuan’s earrings!!! No one paid attention to me!!! Heaven above! Distinguish the loyal from the treacherous!!!]
[Exclamation marks, so blinding. [blocking light.jpg]]
[Prophet. Kill them.]
[Cat paws… are a mark… [nosebleed][faint]]
