Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 12
By the time all the guests had finished unpacking and returned to the first floor to gather, it was already noon.
The production team had prepared lunch for everyone, a lavish spread that opened Xia Jinuo’s eyes as an eighteen-tier celebrity.
Aside from Han Wutong and Luo Wei, who exclaimed a few times, everyone else seemed used to such extravagance.
Fang Ling, sitting opposite Xia Jinuo, had eyes that lit up, her envy and desire for money barely contained.
Xia Jinuo heard Wang Yixi, sitting next to her, let out a scoff. The light in Fang Ling’s eyes instantly extinguished, and for the rest of the meal, she ate with her head down, trying her best to minimize her presence.
Xia Jinuo frowned. She was struggling herself right now and couldn’t offer much help.
Unexpectedly, even though she ignored Wang Yixi, he went out of his way to cause trouble.
“Ji Jinuo, right? A small celebrity like you probably doesn’t earn much. Take this opportunity to eat more. You probably won’t get to eat such a lavish meal again,” Wang Yixi’s voice was flippant and highly improper.
He said it close to Xia Jinuo’s ear, so no one else heard it.
Xia Jinuo knew Wang Yixi was deliberately trying to provoke her. This Alpha, however, had probably picked the wrong target; she was a Buddhist-like person who didn’t get angry easily.
“You have a point. I should indeed eat more. Thanks for the reminder,” Xia Jinuo said good-naturedly, smiling at Wang Yixi.
Wang Yixi’s expression froze. He never expected Xia Jinuo to react with such an attitude.
She had just discussed sending an Alpha to jail with Jiang Li, seeming like a relentless type. Logically, her reaction shouldn’t have been this calm.
“Oh, is that abalone? It looks delicious. Could you please get me two, Yixi, using the serving chopsticks?” Xia Jinuo didn’t lower her voice. After she spoke, everyone at the table looked at her and Wang Yixi, and even the VJ in charge of the live broadcast specifically turned the camera.
Wang Yixi’s body stiffened, but he forced a smile: “Of course.” He picked up his chopsticks and served Xia Jinuo three abalones in a row. “Is that enough, Jinuo? I’ll get you more if it’s not enough.”
The grinding tone in Wang Yixi’s voice was probably only discernible to Xia Jinuo. Her original intention was to improve communication with the scumbag Alphas and make them believe she wasn’t a threat. Yet, just asking for a small favor made him so angry.
Xia Jinuo sighed inwardly. It seemed this method wouldn’t work well with Wang Yixi. She’d try it on other scumbag Alphas when she had the chance.
Of course, she would only initiate interaction with other scumbag Alphas after they initiated conversation with her.
“That’s enough, thank you, Yixi,” Xia Jinuo smiled at Wang Yixi. Regardless of what Wang Yixi was thinking, she focused on eating.
The audience watching the live broadcast exploded at this segment.
[Wait! What did I just see? Why was Wang Yixi talking so close to Ji Jinuo?]
[Ji Jinuo, that’s enough. How dare she ask Wang Yixi to serve her food? Don’t forget they’re both Alphas, they’re in competition!]
[Pfft! What’s wrong with Wang Yixi? He’s on a dating variety show, mocks Omegas who like him, but then eagerly goes to chat with an ugly Alpha and even serves her food.]
[Did the production team do background checks on the guests? I strongly suspect Wang Yixi is gay for an Alpha!]
[Gays for Alphas, get out of straight dating variety shows!!!!]
Wang Yixi was still fuming inwardly and felt disgusted by himself for serving an Alpha.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him. He could casually mock Fang Ling, but in front of Ji Jinuo, he was easily trapped by a word or two.
Next time, he absolutely wouldn’t do anything for Ji Jinuo again.
Not only were the online viewers buzzing, but the other guests present, witnessing Wang Yixi and Xia Jinuo’s interaction, were somewhat incredulous.
Among the Alphas, Wang Yixi was the most arrogant, saying whatever he pleased. Only when facing Jiang Li would he back down and speak softly.
Now, Wang Yixi was getting along famously with Xia Jinuo, who was also an Alpha.
Even if Xia Jinuo was originally an Omega and now didn’t seem like an Alpha, she was still an Alpha. Alpha pheromones naturally repelled each other, and Alphas who liked other Alphas were considered brave.
Did Wang Yixi want to experience what it felt like to be brave?
Everyone had various expressions. Wang Yixi was immersed in his anger and didn’t notice their strange glances directed at him.
After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms for a two-hour nap, then gathered in the main hall again at 2 PM.
Xia Jinuo’s room was opposite Wang Yixi’s. Before entering her room, Wang Yixi called out to Xia Jinuo.
Xia Jinuo instinctively glanced at the camera above. The mockery in Wang Yixi’s eyes immediately disappeared, “My goal is Jiang Li. You’re not allowed to compete with me.”
Xia Jinuo nodded in surprise: “Of course, don’t worry, I won’t compete with you.” She wasn’t tired of living, after all.
Even if she wanted to help the female lead, she wouldn’t directly confront the scumbag Alphas.
Wang Yixi was satisfied with Xia Jinuo’s understanding, snorted, and turned to enter his room.
The two-hour rest period flew by.
When Xia Jinuo came out after washing up, she encountered Wang Yixi again.
He looked gloomy, perhaps because he hadn’t rested well.
Xia Jinuo closed her mouth, pretending not to see him, and walked straight out.
“Ji Jinuo,” Wang Yixi called out to her.
Xia Jinuo couldn’t avoid him. She turned around, seemingly oblivious to Wang Yixi’s bad mood, and smiled: “What a coincidence, Yixi. It seems we always run into each other.”
Wang Yixi’s face instantly darkened.
After his nap, he had scrolled through his phone for a while, searching his name on Weibo, only to discover a barrage of insults online. A lot of people suspected he was gay for an Alpha and told him to stay away from Ji Jinuo.
Wang Yixi was almost fuming. He used a burner account to defend himself online and insult the netizens who were slandering him.
But the netizens were too strong; he couldn’t win the argument alone.
After coming out, he ran into Xia Jinuo again. Wang Yixi wasn’t going to hold back anymore. He had to make it clear on camera that there was no ambiguity between them, and he was not gay for an Alpha at all.
But before he could say anything, Ji Jinuo’s smile choked off his words.
No wonder he was misunderstood as gay for an Alpha. What was with Ji Jinuo’s tone and attitude? Could it be that Ji Jinuo was the gay Alpha, and she secretly liked him?
Thinking that Ji Jinuo was an Omega a month ago and that her sexual orientation might not have had time to “correct” itself after the gender change, Wang Yixi felt he had discovered the truth. His expression stiffened, and he raised a hand to stop Xia Jinuo from approaching him: “Don’t come any closer!”
Xia Jinuo looked puzzled: “Yixi, what’s wrong?”
Wang Yixi gritted his teeth, What’s wrong with me? I’ve been dragged down by you, you gay Alpha!
“I’m fine. Ji Jinuo, remember, from now on, you must keep this distance from me when you’re in my presence. Don’t blame me if I’m not polite if you dare to get closer.”
Xia Jinuo found it amusing: “Is such a small thing worth getting so angry over? Just tell me, and I’ll listen.”
The scumbag Alpha is actively telling her to stay away, she couldn’t ask for more.
“Remember what you said.” Wang Yixi glared at Xia Jinuo, “Now, go quickly. Don’t walk with me anymore.”
“Alright, you go first, I’ll wait three minutes,” Xia Jinuo stepped aside, letting Wang Yixi pass.
Wang Yixi left quickly, his back showing panic, wishing Xia Jinuo could never get close to him.
Xia Jinuo waited a few minutes, then encountered Xu Chuyue, Lu Chen, Du Qiuxin, and Xie Mu. The others asked her why she wasn’t leaving. Xia Jinuo shrugged: “Yixi told me to wait three minutes before leaving.”
Xu Chuyue gave Xia Jinuo a cold glance: “You’re very obedient to him.”
“What kind of romantic game are you two playing? One orders, the other obeys. Sounds very romantic,” Lu Chen, true to his lawyer persona, immediately escalated the ambiguity between Xia Jinuo and Wang Yixi with a single sentence.
If Wang Yixi and Xia Jinuo were confirmed to be gay Alphas, Lu Chen could directly eliminate two Alpha rivals.
