Milk Orange Omega Becomes Popular Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 4
After passing through the Happy Valley ticket gate, for reasons unknown, the distance between Zhong Lin and Pei Yi kept growing.
Not only did the staff not stop them, but they also instructed the accompanying cameraman and another staff member to film them separately. The production team clearly knew how to create drama.
On the video platform—
The two girls drifted further and further apart. The girl in the black dress and white blazer walked quickly, while the girl in the white shirt and denim shorts first sped up to follow.
Then Zhong Lin paused, seemed to realize something, and gave up her pursuit.
The screen began to split the feed between Zhong Lin and Pei Yi.
The bullet comments went wild—
【The way of heaven is a good cycle, and no one is spared. Drama Queen Zhong Lin has been abandoned again, hahahahaha, serves her right!】
【I suddenly feel like Zhong Lin is a tiny bit pitiful】
【She deserved it!】
【Cub, don’t cry TAT, Mommy will hug you Wuwuwu…】
【Daddy wants a hug too】
(Unbeknownst to them, some strange voices had begun to mix into the bullet comments)
…
Zhong Lin did feel a sliver of disappointment at being left behind by Pei Yi.
But she quickly remembered the original character’s death, the fuse of which was her pathological obsession with Pei Yi. Zhong Lin had to live and change the BE ending, so she had to do the opposite of everything the original “Zhong Lin” did.
Pei Yi leaving her behind was…
A cause for great joy, universal celebration, and satisfaction!!!
Zhong Lin was delighted that the female Alpha lead was drifting farther away from her. She was setting off mental fireworks and wildly misusing idioms in her head, utterly thrilled.
Zhong Lin’s attention was quickly diverted by something else.
Not far away, next to a long corridor hung with colorful lanterns, was a row of small shops—the dining area provided for visitors at Happy Valley.
A wave of fragrance filled her senses. Her small nose twitched, and Zhong Lin’s attention was completely captured. She turned her head, her gaze entirely shifting away from Pei Yi’s retreating back.
The Baize mythical beast clan could abstain from grains, and Zhong Lin had fasted for too many years, having forgotten what food was supposed to taste like.
No, it’s just human food.
A Baize female cub must be reserved.
Smelling the sweet fragrance, Zhong Lin began to swallow involuntarily—
Wuwu QAQ. I can’t resist, it smells so good…
Zhong Lin ran toward the source of the scent.
The sign above the shop door featured a giant colorful lollipop model and several brightly colored ice cream patterns.
It wasn’t a mealtime, so there was only one customer ahead of her, a sturdy boy wearing glasses. He stood like a wall, blocking Zhong Lin from the human food she desperately wanted.
Zhong Lin stood on her tiptoes, peering over his shoulder.
The proprietress, wearing a navy apron, had several iron plates on the counter in front of her. Her hands moved quickly, using chopsticks to flip the round little octopus balls.
The takoyaki balls had been brushed with a layer of oil, roasted to a slight yellow, and were emitting a strong aroma, shamelessly enticing Zhong Lin’s sense of smell.
After the boy left with a box of takoyaki, the proprietress smiled at Zhong Lin, her eyes crinkling. This young girl was so pretty, and her expression while staring at the octopus balls was so cute:
“Little sister, what do you want to eat? Takoyaki?”
Zhong Lin stared at the round, golden balls remaining on the iron plate and nodded unconsciously.
Proprietress: “Do you want all the sauces?”
Zhong Lin nodded again.
A box of takoyaki and a few bamboo skewers were handed over. The row of balls was covered with dried bonito flakes and seaweed, drizzled with many loops of salad dressing.
Zhong Lin took it, speared a ball with a skewer, and brought it to her mouth. The crunch of the seaweed, the sweetness of the salad dressing, and the savory flavor of the bonito flakes and octopus balls spread across her palate.
Her pink cheeks were puffed up, stuffed with food, and a few flakes of seaweed were stuck to her crimson lips.
—Human food has evolved again. It tastes so good.
Zhong Lin ate happily. The Baize cub’s taste buds, dormant for years, were finally awakened—
Zhong Lin even forgot who she was, where she was, and where Pei Yi was.
In just a few minutes, Zhong Lin finished the box of takoyaki.
“Little sister, what else would you like to eat?” The proprietress handed over a tissue. Seeing that Zhong Lin hadn’t paid yet, she hinted tactfully.
“Well… what else is there?” Zhong Lin wiped her mouth unhurriedly, completely unaware that she hadn’t paid.
“Ice cream egg waffles, twenty-five yuan each. Would you like one?” The proprietress deliberately stated the price, implicitly reminding Zhong Lin. She wondered why this girl hadn’t paid yet.
Zhong Lin: “Yes!”
Proprietress: “…”
…
Pei Yi was walking ahead when she suddenly noticed that the person behind her was gone.
Zhong Lin, who used to be like a ‘shadow,’ constantly trying to insert herself into Pei Yi’s interactions with other Omega guests, thoughtlessly disrupting her dates with others.
Had something happened?
Pei Yi felt a slight panic, but this panic immediately faded. Staff members were following Zhong Lin; what could possibly happen?
Based on her professional acting ethics, Pei Yi chose to turn back and look for Zhong Lin.
Pei Yi stopped walking.
The girl in front of her had a chocolate cookie stick in her mouth, her cheeks bulging, stuffed like a hamster’s…
“Crunch, crunch—” Zhong Lin swallowed the cookie in her mouth. The sweet taste lingered on her tongue.
A patch of milky-white vanilla ice cream was stuck to the corner of her light pink lips, and her little pink tongue peeked out slightly to lick the ice cream stain off her lip.
Involuntarily, Pei Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She immediately shifted her gaze.
Pei Yi’s voice was icy: “Can we go now?”
Zhong Lin’s tone was cheerful: “Do you want some?”
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
“I’ll treat you” Zhong Lin suddenly held out the egg waffle ice cream. She had only eaten one vanilla ice cream scoop, and the strawberry scoop was untouched.
As a Baize cub, Zhong Lin was very generous and never stingy about sharing her food with others.
She had specifically asked the proprietress for two spoons earlier, thinking that since Pei Yi disliked her so much, she probably wouldn’t want to share a spoon…
At that moment, there was another small plastic spoon in the paper bag, which Zhong Lin handed over.
Pei Yi looked at the small white plastic spoon and the pink ice cream scoop in the center of the egg waffle. It was slightly melting, but the other person hadn’t touched it at all…
After a moment of hesitation, Pei Yi took the spoon, scooped a bit of ice cream, and brought it to her mouth—
The milk flavor was delicate, and the strawberry flavor spread across her palate.
So sweet.
Pei Yi had never eaten anything like this street food before. She was hesitant at first, but after two or three bites of ice cream, she realized it wasn’t as bad as she thought.
She even used the spoon to scoop up a piece of the egg waffle. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The texture was quite good.
Pei Yi pulled back her hand: “I’m done.”
“Mhm.” Zhong Lin nodded obediently, picked up the small white spoon, and continued to eat the rest.
Pei Yi cleared her throat: “That…”
An inexplicable itch started in her chest, and her earlobes were faintly hot. Pei Yi didn’t finish the rest of her sentence—
That spoon, I used it.
I forgot to take it and throw it away just now.
Zhong Lin was busy eating the ice cream. The ice cream was becoming soft and mushy, and it would melt completely if she didn’t eat it quickly. She hurriedly looked up, her small, reddish tongue lightly licking the white plastic spoon.
The plastic spoon, which had been stained with pink ice cream liquid, became pristine white.
Zhong Lin held the small white spoon, completely forgetting that her own spoon was actually light yellow and not white, and asked in slight confusion:
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…” Pei Yi’s fingers, hanging by her side, curled slightly. Her earlobes grew hotter, but her voice was still extremely cool.
Zhong Lin hummed twice, bowed her head, and continued to finish the egg waffle in her hand. The bottom of the egg waffle, soaked in melted ice cream liquid, had lost its crispness and become a bit soft…
But it was still sweet and fragrant, and still very tasty.
After the last bite, a light female voice sounded in her ear.
“Let’s go.” It was Pei Yi’s voice.
The proprietress, who was on the verge of tears, desperately wanted to ask the customers to pay, but the camera was aimed at her, making it awkward to speak up directly.
The accompanying cameraman’s lips curved up. He slowly pushed the lens closer, giving a large close-up of the proprietress’s exasperated expression.
“That…” After a mental struggle, the proprietress stretched out her hand toward the two of them. It was a gesture similar to ‘Erkang’s Hand’ (a famous gesture of longing/pleading in a period drama), “The money hasn’t been paid yet…”
Pei Yi’s smile stiffened. She never thought she would be reduced to… being mistaken for someone who deliberately skips out on paying?!
Good heavens… how absurd.
Zhong Lin truly was a magical creature who brought her ‘surprises’ everywhere.
Pei Yi pulled out a red bill and handed it to the proprietress, her movements clearly hurried. She glanced at Zhong Lin casually,
“Keep the change.”
“Why didn’t you pay?” Pei Yi asked helplessly.
“Isn’t it an all-inclusive pass?” Zhong Lin tilted her head slightly, many small question marks seemingly appearing above her round little head. “Didn’t the director say that you don’t need to pay with the all-inclusive pass?”
As a Baize cub, she clearly didn’t understand what an “all-inclusive pass” meant.
Human society was simply… too complicated.
Pei Yi: “…”
Pei Yi seriously suspected whether Zhong Lin was faking it. Was she trying to get her attention in a different way??
“Food costs money. Everything else is free with the all-inclusive pass” The accompanying staff member finally couldn’t help but whisper an explanation to Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin softly “mhm’d,” her small chin lightly nodding. It seemed she needed to quickly study up on human society knowledge. Knowledge is power, and knowledge changes destiny!
【Look how fast the proprietress’s face changed, hahahaha… from white to green to red, so funny I’m dying】
【Hahaha, didn’t Linlin clearly say, “I’ll treat you”? So generous, yet she forgot to pay! That’s too hilarious!】
【Pei Yi: … She invited me to eat, and in the end, I had to pay.】
【Why do I feel like… this is kind of shippable????】
【Stand firm on our E-Fans’ position! Yi Yi go, go, go! Zhong Lin get out quickly!】
【Is the person above crazy? Have you forgotten who Zhong Lin is?! A gold-digging, clingy little flirtatious O!】
【Zhong Lin get out quickly +1】
【Protect my cub! If you can’t love her, please don’t hurt her!!】
【Speechless. If your cub stops leeching off our Yi Yi’s fame, she won’t have to get out!】
【Zhong Lin get out, get out, get out…】
…
The two stopped in front of an amusement ride, or rather, Zhong Lin stopped.
A plaque hung on the iron gate in front of them, reading “Speed Racer.” The track was a crisscrossing structure.
Unlike traditional roller coasters, this aerial ride sped up and slowed down suddenly, designed to give riders the “feeling of flying” through intense changes between acceleration and weightlessness.
The “Speed Racer” cars were long and filled with people. Screams of surprise echoed from the air, sounding very thrilling.
Zhong Lin’s eyes followed the “Speed Racer.” The car body was deep cyan, spinning rapidly in the air, resembling a celestial Azure Dragon circling overhead.
The Baize cub recalled her glorious years many years ago when she was smaller than she was now, yet she could kick the neighboring Azure Dragon cub, who was the size of a mud eel, and punch the thick-skinned little Pixiu (another mythical creature).
“You want to ride this?” Pei Yi’s voice came from beside her.
Zhong Lin turned to look at her, her large apricot-shaped eyes shining. She nodded gently, clearly… a little excited.
Pei Yi pursed her lips, her face turning slightly pale. Her schedule was always packed, and no one had ever brought her to a place like this before. The Speed Racer was so high and whipped around so fast…
Zhong Lin clenched her fingers and hesitantly said, “Let’s not ride that one.”
Pei Yi: “Why?”
Zhong Lin replied: “Aren’t you afraid of riding that? Let’s go ride something else”
She had observed that the humans on the “little Azure Dragon” were screaming in terror, and Pei Yi’s complexion was clearly off just now.
She must be scared, right?
Although Zhong Lin really wanted to ride the Speed Racer, she had to consider others.
The Baize cub was very considerate.
“Who said I was afraid?!” Pei Yi looked up at her, her delicate brow slightly raised, a sharp gleam flashing in her eyes. She felt a vague sense of being challenged.
It felt as if someone was questioning her status as a top Alpha?
So irritating (▼皿▼#)!
“If you want to ride it, just say so. I’ll see it through to the end.” Pei Yi’s tone was forceful. She raised her hand to tuck the hair hanging by her shoulder behind her ear. Her delicate earlobe was adorned with the four-leaf clover earring. The carnelian stone was a deep crimson…
Just like Pei Yi herself, vibrant and intense.
The two scanned their VIP all-inclusive passes and boarded the Speed Racer.
A minute later, two people—a boy and a girl—sat in the row behind them.
The boy looked fair and thin, with long sleeves covering the tips of his fingers. He was a cute male Omega.
The other was a female Omega. Her hair was tied with a large ribbon bow at the back. She was wearing a blue and black plaid JK skirt, a black short blazer, and a messenger bag—a clean, campus style.
They seemed to be a pair of female Omega friends.
After sitting down, the boy kept looking forward, observing Pei Yi. He raised his hand, using his sleeve to loosely cover his mouth, and whispered to his friend: “Pei Yi, it’s Pei Yi!”
The girl next to him tilted her head to look, laughing loudly and excitedly: “I know! Your goddess! You keep saying you want to have her babies”
The male Omega blushed, nudging her shoulder with his finger: “Don’t say that.”
The girl was utterly tactless and completely ignored the feelings of the person involved.
The scene became instantly awkward.
Pei Yi: “…”
“Pei Yi,” Zhong Lin looked confused. The newly arrived Baize cub expressed incomprehension. “Have her babies?”
“Don’t ask…” Pei Yi’s face grew paler, and her voice was very weak. She clearly didn’t want Zhong Lin to continue asking.
