Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 13

This has nothing to do with romance.

Xia Jinuo asked, “Three minutes are up. Shall we go together?”

Actions speak louder than words. Xia Jinuo knew Lu Chen was skilled at sophistry, and no matter how she explained, Lu Chen could find a way to make the audience misunderstand, so she gave up on explaining.

Wang Yixi didn’t want to be near her; if she avoided too much contact with him in the future, the misunderstanding would naturally clear up.

“Let’s go together,” Du Qiuxin said.

Among the five scumbag Alphas, currently only Wang Yixi, Xu Chuyue, and Lu Chen were genuinely interested in the female lead. Du Qiuxin liked young Betas, and Xie Mu only loved animals, so their malice towards Xia Jinuo was minimal.

The five of them arrived at the main hall together, looking like they had a very harmonious relationship. After Xia Jinuo finished speaking with Xie Mu, she looked up and saw Wang Yixi glaring at her. She instinctively smiled, and Wang Yixi’s eyes widened even more.

Xia Jinuo averted her gaze and nodded, greeting the Omegas one by one.

Fang Ling had a melancholic look on her brow and didn’t respond to anyone. Han Wutong and Luo Wei were very enthusiastic, and Jiang Li gave her a faint smile.

Xia Jinuo felt she was one step further from death. She found a spot on the long sofa and sat down, waiting for the production team staff to announce the next task.

Besides Jiang Li, the show’s main selling point was its “exciting tasks.” The director, Li Qin, guaranteed they would be unprecedented and live up to the name Sweet Battlefield.

The sofa next to Xia Jinuo dipped slightly. She turned and saw Lu Chen, then casually averted her gaze.

It was already past two o’clock. The staff hadn’t arrived yet, seemingly preparing something.

Xia Jinuo stared blankly, recalling the novel she had read, trying to remember what tasks were in the show, but nothing came to mind.

Perhaps the author hadn’t written it in detail.

“You’re very smart,” a low male voice resonated in Xia Jinuo’s ear.

Xia Jinuo didn’t think the person was talking to her and began idly playing with her fingers.

She was so thin her bones showed, and her face resembled a starving beggar, yet her hands, because they were more bony, became even more beautiful.

Her fingers were long and slender, her skin fair with a pinkish hue, and her nails were neatly rounded and cute, making one want to touch them, to experience what it felt like to be held by those hands.

Lu Chen didn’t get a reply from Xia Jinuo. His eyes held a cold glint as he looked at Xia Jinuo’s playing hand, “You…”

He forgot what he was going to say. A jolt went through Lu Chen’s mind. The hands in front of him were too beautiful to be Xia Jinuo’s.

The owner of the hands didn’t deserve them.

Xia Jinuo played with her hands for ten minutes, and Lu Chen quietly watched for ten minutes, completely forgetting his original purpose for sitting next to Xia Jinuo—to provoke Xia Jinuo to go to Wang Yixi and deepen the audience’s misunderstanding.

“Hello everyone, I’m Qiqi, a staff member of the production team. For the next month, I will be announcing everyone’s schedules and tasks.”

Qiqi was a female Beta. Although her appearance wasn’t as exquisite as an Omega’s, her smile was sweet, making her a very appealing girl.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to Qiqi. Xia Jinuo also looked up, but only Lu Chen was absent-minded, his eyes seemingly glued to Xia Jinuo’s hands.

He didn’t realize that he had already followed in Wang Yixi’s footsteps. When he approached Xia Jinuo, trying to talk to her, some of the live comments had already started to question him.

[La la la, there’s an empty seat next to our goddess Jiang Li! I wonder which Alpha is brave enough to sit there. Go, Lu Chen, go! I’m so rooting for Elite Lawyer Alpha X Lazy Beauty Omega!]

[Lu Chen, you can’t! Just when Wang Yixi and Xia Jinuo aren’t together, you go and get close to her again.]

[Lol, Lu Chen talked to Xia Jinuo first, and Xia Jinuo ignored him.]

[Enough, this is really enough. I want to see six Alphas pursuing and fighting over Omegas, not one Alpha after another falling for an ugly same-sex Alpha.]

[Mystery solved! Lu Chen is a hand fetishist. He fell in love with Xia Jinuo’s hands. If he could, he’d definitely dig out his eyes and glue them to Xia Jinuo’s hands.]

[Lu Chen, wake up! No matter how beautiful those hands are, they’re an Alpha’s hands! If you were looking at the other Alphas’ hands, fine, at least they’re good-looking. But Xia Jinuo? She has nothing!]

Lu Chen couldn’t hear the shouts in the comments. He continued staring at Xia Jinuo’s hands until Qiqi called his name several times, and he finally seemed to awaken from a dream.

“What is it?” Lu Chen calmly looked at Qiqi. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed others looking at him strangely, especially Wang Yixi, who was smiling mockingly. Lu Chen’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

He had miscalculated. He hadn’t managed to control himself and had made a fool of himself in front of so many people.

Qiqi’s expression was awkward for a moment but quickly composed itself. She smiled at Lu Chen: “Because the guests will need to cook for themselves later, I wanted to know if you, Lu Chen, are good at cooking.”

But she had called Lu Chen four or five times, and he hadn’t responded, his eyes only on Xia Jinuo’s hands.

Lu Chen’s self-introduction mentioned that he was a hand fetishist, but who knew he wasn’t picky about gender when it came to hands?

Lu Chen felt a little flustered inside, but his expression remained cold: “I’m not good at cooking. I haven’t learned that kind of thing. Shouldn’t that be something Omegas do?”

Although the other Alphas gave similar answers to Lu Chen, even Wang Yixi knew to be restrained and didn’t bring up sensitive Omega education. Lu Chen’s statement could be said to have completely lost its composure and propriety.

“Ha! Lu Chen, you wouldn’t discriminate against Omegas and think only Omegas should do housework, would you?” Wang Yixi didn’t miss any opportunity and immediately jumped in to make things worse.

“No, I misspoke just now. Alpha curriculum doesn’t include that, so I don’t know how. If it did, I would definitely learn,” Lu Chen forced himself to calm down and explained rationally, his voice a few shades deeper.

Wang Yixi didn’t let him off easily. “No matter what, if I had an Omega girlfriend or wife, I would absolutely not let them do housework alone. Even if I don’t know how now, I’m willing to learn for them.”

After he spoke, he gave Lu Chen a triumphant look and then deliberately looked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was lazily looking down, her expression languid. Wang Yixi regretted not being able to meet her gaze and show her the determination in his eyes.

However, being able to put Lu Chen down, he was already very satisfied.

[Lu Chen, you disappoint me so much!]

[I can’t believe an elite lawyer is such a traditional Alpha. Why should Omegas only be able to bear children and do housework? Omegas can clearly be scientists, doctors, and lawyers too.]

[You Omegas, that’s enough. Don’t you know how much a monthly estrus cycle can disrupt things? Doing doctor’s or lawyer’s work? Do you want to go into estrus during surgery and cause a patient’s death, or during a court hearing and cause chaos?]

[The Alpha upstairs is disgusting. Omegas can use pheromone inhibitors, and scientific research on pheromones is ongoing. I heard there’s been a major breakthrough, but the country hasn’t started promoting it yet. When Omegas no longer suffer from estrus cycles, I wonder what you Alphas will have to be proud of.]

[Gossip in the chaos, did anyone notice that after Wang Yixi confessed his feelings to his future girlfriend/wife, he specifically glanced at Xia Jinuo? What is he so proud of? Proud that he and Xia Jinuo will be an Alpha-Alpha couple and he’ll actively do housework?]

[The person upstairs just woke me up! Wang Yixi loves her so much!]

[Even when they’re not sitting together, Wang Yixi can’t help but look at Xia Jinuo. What to do, I kind of want to ship this pair now.]

[Get out of here! This is a straight dating variety show! Strongly boycott Wang Yixi and Lu Chen’s malicious Alpha-Alpha romance!]

[I… don’t… want… to… ship… My looks preference can’t accept Xia Jinuo, she’s really… too… ugly…]

[As long as Wang Yixi and Lu Chen think she’s pretty, tee hee hee~]

Qiqi said: “The Alphas aren’t good at cooking, so it seems only the four Omegas know how to cook.”

“No, I don’t cook,” Jiang Li suddenly interjected.

Qiqi was surprised: “Jiang Li, aren’t you an outstanding graduate from an Omega school?”

Jiang Li rested her palm against her fair cheek and smiled faintly: “I hate kitchens and all housework. I haven’t cooked since I graduated.”

Qiqi nodded blankly, “Ah, in that case, it can only be the other three Omegas…”

“No, I can help,” Xia Jinuo volunteered.
