Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 16

Whether the “Xiji CP” was sweet, Xia Jinuo didn’t know. She only knew that Jiang Li had picked half a basket of tomatoes, weighing at least twenty to thirty catties.

Jiang Li was about 1.75 meters tall, with slender yet erect shoulders and a waist so thin one could encircle it with a single hand. Imagining all that weight pressing on her delicate shoulders, Xia Jinuo’s sympathy for Jiang Li intensified.

She inwardly blamed the scumbag Alphas for their selective blindness, not even bothering to help, no wonder they could only resort to schemes to get Jiang Li.

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Xia Jinuo’s mind in a few seconds. She said to the group, “You guys rest a bit more, I’m going to chat with the staff.”

Without waiting for their reaction, she found the PD who had come out with them and started chatting.

“She really can’t sit still. Is this what they call a restless life?” Wang Yixi looked at Xia Jinuo’s back in the sunlight, his feelings complex. He habitually picked on her, but his tone was no longer as overtly malicious as before.

Lu Chen said, “If Ji Jinuo isn’t restless, you’ll probably be left hanging in mid-air.”

Wang Yixi was the one who benefited the most from Xia Jinuo. Several times he had caused trouble, and it was always Xia Jinuo who gave him a way out when he couldn’t back down.

Wang Yixi looked Lu Chen up and down, then curled his lips into a wicked smile: “What, are you jealous that Xia Jinuo is good to me?”

Lu Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond.

“Ji Jinuo is kind to everyone,” Jiang Li suddenly said.

The Alphas’ attention was drawn to her. Jiang Li looked down lazily and said, “No one is special.” Including me.

In Jiang Li’s eyes, Alphas were arrogant beings with no redeeming qualities, only emitting the scent of wild beasts. No matter how well they disguised it, no Alpha could escape their arrogant nature.

Until she met Xia Jinuo, a woman who was originally an Omega and had only undergone secondary differentiation into an Alpha a month ago. Although Ji Jinuo was unremarkable in appearance, she was gentle, cheerful, considerate, and thoughtful of everyone, without any arrogance… It was hard to imagine that after only half a day together, Jiang Li had already discovered so many virtues in her.

Xia Jinuo’s appearance on Sweet Battlefield was an accident, and Jiang Li believed it was the best kind of accident. Her presence might allow the audience to see something different.

Wang Yixi and the others, rarely hearing Jiang Li speak, involuntarily took a few steps in her direction. From the camera’s perspective, it looked like five tall, imposing Alphas surrounded the languid and charming Omega beauty, their gazes burning.

[Wow, that’s got some flavor to it!]

[Why isn’t Ji Jinuo here at a crucial moment? While they’re in this sweet war, she’s off chatting with the staff. As expected, a non-naturally born Alpha doesn’t have the instinct to compete for Omegas.]

[What type of Alpha do you think Jiang Li likes? These guys are handsome with good family backgrounds, beautiful and rich. I think Jiang Li would look good with any of them.]

[Does Ji Jinuo count?]

[Of course not including Ji Jinuo. Is she pretty or rich?]

[Ji Jinuo is so good to people, just like Jiang Li said, Ji Jinuo is good to everyone. If I were an Alpha, I’d definitely want to be friends with her. If I were an Omega and had money, marrying her wouldn’t be bad if I didn’t care about appearance.]

[If, if. Just say you don’t fancy Ji Jinuo, being so subtle makes it easy for people to misunderstand.]

[Raise the Xiji CP flag high!]

[Actually, Ji Jinuo and Lu Chen’s “Nuochen CP” could also work. Whenever Wang Yixi targets Ji Jinuo, Lu Chen almost always speaks up for Ji Jinuo.]

There was only one live camera, and Xia Jinuo was chatting with the PD off-camera.

“Everyone’s personally picking vegetables and digging potatoes for the first time. We accidentally dug too much, and it’s going to be difficult to carry it all back. Can the production team offer some help?” Xia Jinuo asked.

The PD looked troubled: “These things were planned in advance. You can take less from the next locations.”

Xia Jinuo sighed, “It’s not about taking too much or too little. Look at those baskets.”

The PD looked in the direction Xia Jinuo pointed. Several baskets were sitting to the side, nothing seemed wrong, “The bottom of the baskets leaked?”

“The baskets are too ugly,” Xia Jinuo said seriously.

PD: “…These are a symbol of simplicity. What would you use in the fields if not baskets? Should the production team prepare an electric tricycle?”

Xia Jinuo’s heart fluttered at the mention of an “electric tricycle,” but those five image-conscious scumbag Alphas would definitely not get on an electric tricycle for their image. She could only regretfully PASS that option.

“I just noticed Jiang Li carrying half a basket of tomatoes herself, and it’s very heavy. Not a single Alpha helped her. If the viewers watching the live stream notice, they’ll definitely be unhappy. They’ll think the Alphas don’t even have the attitude to pursue someone, and unhappy viewers are bad for the show’s ratings,” Xia Jinuo tried her best to persuade.

The PD frowned, finding some truth in what Xia Jinuo said. Any issue that could affect the show needed to be addressed immediately: “What do you want to replace the baskets with? Anything too difficult to get definitely won’t work.” Like luxury cars befitting their status.

Xia Jinuo smiled: “Absolutely not difficult to get.”

By the time Xia Jinuo returned to the group, the live comments had already gone through a round of arguments.

“What did you say to the staff?” Surprisingly, the first person to ask Xia Jinuo was the most cunning President, Xu Chuyue.

Xia Jinuo was caught off guard by her speaking, her body stiffening slightly. Worried that Xu Chuyue might notice something amiss, Xia Jinuo immediately adjusted her mindset, telling herself inwardly that Xu Chuyue was just a normal Alpha, not some perverted sadist, and she knew nothing about that.

After hinting to herself quickly several times, Xia Jinuo tugged at her white T-shirt, exposing a slender waistline to let the faint breeze carry away the heat, and winked with a smile, “You guess~”

Her playful voice didn’t change Xu Chuyue’s expression in the slightest. Xu Chuyue’s cold gaze slowly swept over Xia Jinuo’s face, and the words that left her thin lips were like daggers: “No one dares make me guess.”

Xu Chuyue’s pheromones seemed to overflow slightly. Xia Jinuo smelled the scent of extinguishing candles. She came to her senses and saw the four of them, Lu Chen, covering their noses and backing away. Wang Yixi angrily said, “Don’t you have any public ethics? How can you just release Alpha pheromones randomly!”

Xu Chuyue ignored Wang Yixi, her eyes fixed on Jiang Li, “You’re not affected by my pheromones.”

Xia Jinuo feigned surprise, “Hm? So that was your pheromone. I was just wondering what perfume you sprayed.”

Alpha pheromones were too domineering and affected all genders, so the state stipulated that Alphas could not release their pheromones freely. However, this regulation was purely ethical, not a strict rule.

To make Alphas willingly keep their pheromones contained, perfumers came into being. Alphas could find a perfumer to create a specific scent—like their own pheromone scent. Alphas could control their pheromone release by spraying perfume.

Xia Jinuo was given a bottle by the doctor in charge when she was discharged from the hospital, and it smelled exactly like her pheromones, but Xia Jinuo hadn’t used it yet.

She had smelled a faint hint of it on Wang Yixi and Lu Chen, probably because they sprayed sparingly, and the scent wasn’t obvious.

Xu Chuyue silently watched Xia Jinuo for a while, slowly reined in her pheromones, and then averted her gaze, coldly saying, “Slick talk.”

It sounded utterly disgusted with Xia Jinuo.

Xu Chuyue’s pheromone level was high, and the other four had been barely able to breathe, their faces flushed. Now, finally able to breathe again, their first action was to collectively condemn Xu Chuyue.

“Xu Chuyue, apologize. You were too much just now,” Lu Chen said gravely.

Since birth, it was the first time he had been so flustered by an Alpha’s pheromones. The thought of the scene being broadcast live for countless viewers to see made Lu Chen seethe with anger.

Xu Chuyue gave him a cold glance: “You should know when to stop.”

“You’re very rude,” Du Qiuxin walked over and said to Xu Chuyue.

Xu Chuyue: “If you find me rude, I can withdraw my investment in your family’s chain of schools.”

Du Qiuxin closed his mouth, his face very grim.

Xia Jinuo hadn’t been watching for nothing. Through their heated conversation, she quickly discovered something: Xu Chuyue’s company was no ordinary company; she had actually invested in all the industries owned by the other four scumbag Alphas.

No wonder Xu Chuyue was the mastermind who came up with ideas among the five.

However, Xia Jinuo was unclear why Xu Chuyue, who was skilled at backstabbing people, suddenly and inexplicably pushed herself into the limelight. Why couldn’t she control her pheromones just now?

As Xia Jinuo averted her gaze, she saw Jiang Li’s eyes. She was watching the five clashing scumbag Alphas, as if observing a pack of wild beasts tearing at each other, her expression a mix of languor and amusement.

Xia Jinuo: She seems quite entertained? And Jiang Li also doesn’t seem affected by Xu Chuyue’s pheromones.

This was a bit strange. Logically, Omegas were most sensitive to Alpha pheromone scents, yet Jiang Li showed no reaction.
