After Appearing on a Dating Show with a Top-Star Omega - Chapter 21

The first date ended. Even though two of the couples had not succeeded, the show’s popularity still soared far ahead on Apple Live, reaching an unprecedented height.

Qin Yiting was all smiles, and toward Yu Qingshi, she became even more fawning.

In order to guarantee the viewership of the edited broadcast, she even turned off the livestream during certain key scenes, whetting the audience’s appetite completely.

For this date, the parts Qin Yiting cut off were the date evaluation and the reading and writing of letters.

[I’m begging you, let me watch a little more, ahhhhh.]

[Agreed. I want to see Jiang Yuan and Yu Qingshi’s part.]

[Today’s Jiang Yuan can read the letter Sister wrote yesterday, but today’s us can’t. [weathered]]

Ignoring the bullet comments’ wailing, Qin Yiting smiled at the camera with a face that deserved a beating. “See you tomorrow~”

With a click, she turned off the switch without the slightest mercy.

The evaluation segment came first.

The date evaluation was only open to the person invited, so this time, Qin Yiting would be interviewing the three Omegas.

Yu Qingshi entered the room.

The interview room’s design was extremely simple. There was only a soft sofa placed in the center, while the surrounding walls had been painted pink and printed with the show’s logo: Same-Frequency Heartbeat.

In front of her stood a row of production staff. They were behind the fill lights, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

Yu Qingshi smiled and nodded to greet them one by one, then consciously sat down on the sofa.

Opposite her was Qin Yiting.

She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, right under the fill light, flipping through the prepared question cards.

Qin Yiting glanced at Yu Qingshi’s still-softened expression, then quickly flipped through the cards in her hands, searching for a more explosive question.

She confidently opened her mouth. “During today’s date, in which moment did you most want to kiss her?”

Yu Qingshi fell silent. Her gaze swept lightly across the person opposite her as a warning.

Then she propped her cheek up and began to think.

The puppy was still as obedient as always. The moment she most wanted to kiss her…

Yu Qingshi ran through the memories in her mind, then parted her thin lips slightly. “During the date… when we first met.”

The moment Jiang Yuan saw her, her tail seemed to start wagging automatically.

She came close to Yu Qingshi, like a little golden retriever circling around her legs.

She told Yu Qingshi why she had come to the silver jewelry workshop, and why she wanted to make the “dog paw earrings” whose deeper meaning she herself did not understand at all.

Her pitch-black pupils were filled with scattered light, like bright stars glittering across the curtain of night.

How could someone’s eyes be so clean?

Qin Yiting did not manage to get anything mushy like “every moment,” so she was dissatisfied. She curled her lips and continued, “Use one word to describe today’s date.”

“Same frequency.”

“Use one word to describe today’s Jiang Yuan.”

Yu Qingshi pondered for a moment. All kinds of flowery words popped wildly through her mind, but she threw them all away.

Then she said, “Cute.”

“From one to ten, how would you rate today’s date?”

She answered decisively, “Ten.”

“Did you feel any change in your partner? Or perhaps, did you see another side of her?”

Yu Qingshi was just about to answer.

“Thud, thud.”

Suddenly, some noise came from the doorway. The wooden door seemed to have been nudged by the wind and shook once.

Both of them stopped at the same time.

Qin Yiting turned her face and looked at a staff member. “Xiao Li, go take a look.”

After a moment, Xiao Li jogged back in from outside and whispered a few words beside Qin Yiting’s ear.

After listening, Qin Yiting laughed. “That person of yours is wandering around at the door. She’s probably gotten water five or six times already.”

The villa was spacious and open, so every floor had a water dispenser.

Jiang Yuan had been passing by repeatedly like this, coming to the first-floor water dispenser to get water.

After hearing this, Yu Qingshi also curved her lips. She pointed toward the door and answered the earlier question. “As you can see.”

“The puppy has become a little bad recently.”

Qin Yiting followed along. “Then how do you view this other side of your partner?”

Yu Qingshi did not hesitate. “Even cuter.”

After several questions, Qin Yiting was perfectly satisfied.

She let Yu Qingshi go and had already started imagining how explosive the show would be once it aired.

＊

When Yu Qingshi returned to the room, she saw Jiang Yuan sitting on the sofa while holding a cup, her gaze blank.

Yu Qingshi teased her aloud, “Which cup is this, Yuanyuan?”

“Are you drunk yet?”

Jiang Yuan came back to herself. Embarrassed, she shifted her gaze away and explained, “I-I didn’t hear anything.”

If someone else had said this, Yu Qingshi would not have believed a single word. But when it was Jiang Yuan, she believed it completely.

Yu Qingshi was surprised. “Five times, and you didn’t hear anything once?”

“……” Jiang Yuan was ashamed and did not know what to say.

Only weakly, she said, “I covered my ears.”

Every time she passed by the room door, she consciously covered her ears and hurried past.

Reason and emotion intertwined, making her walk past again and again, yet she had not heard a single word.

Violating Yu Qingshi’s wishes and going against the show’s rules filled her with guilt. She was even afraid she might accidentally hear something, so she covered her ears even more tightly.

It was precisely because of this that when Qin Yiting learned about it, she let this pair go and did not set up any punishment.

Yu Qingshi was amused. She had not expected that even after Jiang Yuan had entertained the thought, she was still this obedient.

“Then it seems I misunderstood Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan really was thirsty.”

Jiang Yuan lowered her burning face. “I did want to hear…”

“What did you want to hear?” Yu Qingshi curved her eyes and patiently guided her.

“I wanted to hear Qingshi’s evaluation of the date.”

Yu Qingshi remembered those unfinished words and understood.

“You already walked to the door. Why didn’t you listen?”

Jiang Yuan could not help biting the inside of her cheek and murmured, “Qingshi wouldn’t be willing.”

To her surprise, Yu Qingshi shook her head in denial. “No. I would be willing.”

“So if Yuanyuan wants to hear, what should she do?”

Confusion flashed through Jiang Yuan’s eyes. She thought about it seriously and finally concluded, “I should… eavesdrop?”

At a time like this, she no longer thought about breaking the rules.

Yu Qingshi found it funny. She slowly walked up to Jiang Yuan, pinched her cheek, and rescued the cheek flesh from her teeth. “Wrong.”

“You should ask me directly.”

Her words were like a gentle breeze slowly blowing across a lake, stirring up circles of ripples.

Jiang Yuan’s eyes brightened along with them. Because her cheek was being tugged, her words were unclear. “Then Qingshi, mm, were you satisfied?”

“Ten points.”

“What’s the full score?” Jiang Yuan’s heart was leaping, but she still anxiously followed up.

Yu Qingshi pressed her lips together and smiled. She really had not heard a single thing.

She unconsciously teased her. “One hundred.”

Jiang Yuan’s eyes suddenly widened. Her face instantly turned pale, her expression horrified. She could not even care about her cheek. “One hundred pointsh?!”

The unclear words completely made Yu Qingshi burst into laughter. Losing her support, she fell onto the sofa and simply rested her head on Jiang Yuan’s shoulder.

Her shoulders shook, and the same rhythm transmitted to Jiang Yuan.

Her hair trembled along with it. How could Jiang Yuan not understand?

Today’s mood had been like riding a roller coaster, rising and falling.

But at the very least, she had gotten the answer from Yu Qingshi’s laughter.

The fog tangled around her heart slowly melted away, and her heart finally returned to peace.

She pressed her lips together, embarrassed. “Qingshi, stop teasing me…”
