Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 17

Xia Jinuo desperately wanted them to fight amongst themselves, ideally like dogs tearing at each other. However, Xu Chuyue was too dominant; none of the four scumbag Alphas dared to confront her for more than five sentences, so the verbal skirmish ended very quickly.

When the dust settled, Xu Chuyue finally turned her attention to the object of her affection—Jiang Li.

“You’re an Omega, why aren’t you affected by my pheromones?”

Jiang Li looked languid, not bothered by the scrutiny in Xu Chuyue’s eyes. “I didn’t smell your pheromones just now.”

Xu Chuyue stared intently at Jiang Li for a moment. Jiang Li remained composed, but the surrounding atmosphere grew tense due to their standoff.

Xia Jinuo thought to herself that Xu Chuyue truly was an Alpha who didn’t know how to be gentle with women. How could she question an Omega in front of so many people?

Fortunately, Jiang Li was mentally strong; anyone else facing Xu Chuyue directly would probably have been scared to tears.

Xia Jinuo muttered to herself as she walked between the two. Not wanting to get too close to Jiang Li, she went up to Xu Chuyue and said, “Alright, alright, it was just a tiny bit of pheromone scent. Maybe Jiang Li didn’t smell it. Alphas and Omegas being so hostile, one might think we’re participating in a real war, not Sweet Battlefield.”

Xia Jinuo’s tone was gentle, and she smiled sweetly. Xu Chuyue’s rigid demeanor faltered slightly as Xia Jinuo approached. She gave her a fleeting glance and turned away.

Xia Jinuo sighed in relief. These scumbag Alphas had varying personalities, but the only thing they shared was an ingrained arrogance that could only be handled gently.

The tense atmosphere didn’t ease for a long time. Everyone had lost their motivation for the task until the production team staff arrived, each pulling a suitcase.

“What are you doing with suitcases?” Wang Yixi asked.

The PD said, “You’ll have to ask Ji Jinuo about that.”

Everyone looked at Xia Jinuo. Xia Jinuo smiled, took a suitcase, laid it down, and opened it. She poured the potatoes from her basket inside. Seeing it wasn’t full, she added Jiang Li’s half-basket of tomatoes, then zipped it up and stood the suitcase upright. She pulled it back and forth a couple of steps, “See? Isn’t this much easier?”

Jiang Li stood up in surprise, “You went to talk to the PD just about this?”

Xia Jinuo nodded, “Yes. I figured you’re all exceptional individuals and not used to using baskets. To save time, I mentioned it to the PD. The PD was very considerate of everyone’s thoughts and managed to get them here so quickly.”

Xia Jinuo didn’t take credit, pushing all the praise to the PD. The PD, upon hearing this, quickly said, “I’m not as good as Ji Jinuo says. You don’t know how many times Ji Jinuo persuaded me.”

Jiang Li took an empty suitcase and said with novelty, “So suitcases can be used like this.”

Seeing Jiang Li rarely show a hint of a young girl’s demeanor, Xia Jinuo smiled, “Whatever’s convenient. I didn’t think too much about it at the time.”

The Alphas who didn’t want to carry baskets were the happiest. Except for Wang Yixi, who outright laughed, the other four nodded politely to Xia Jinuo, saying her idea was good.

Xia Jinuo accepted their praise and said, “We’ve rested for so long, let’s hurry to the next destination, or we’ll be late for dinner.”

Everyone checked the time and saw it was already past 3:30 PM. They helped Du Qiuxin and Xie Mu transfer the green onions and cabbages into the suitcases, then immediately set off for the next location.

[Ji Jinuo is truly kind and clever. She saw that the Alphas didn’t want to carry baskets, so she negotiated with the staff to switch to suitcases. Is there any way for me to get to know Ji Jinuo? I really want to be friends with her.]

[Do you want to be friends, or do you want to be her boyfriend/girlfriend?]

[That calculation is so loud, I can hear it from a hundred kilometers away.]

[Ji Jinuo is too thin right now, but I bet when she gains a little weight, she’ll definitely be even more popular. Even the Omegas will be fighting over her.]

[Fight over a pauper?]

[What’s wrong with being poor now? She’s an Alpha, she’ll get rich eventually.]

[Am I the only one who noticed Ji Jinuo put Jiang Li’s tomatoes with her own? The other Alphas didn’t even think about helping.]

[Alphas only plunder; when do they ever care about Omegas?]

[Ji Jinuo is so good! I absolutely have to fan her. I’ll even accept that she’s ugly.]

There were six people in total. Three suitcases were already full, leaving three half-empty ones, so they definitely couldn’t take many more ingredients.

The second stop was digging lotus roots in a lotus pond. The dark mud made the faces of the scumbag Alphas grim. Xie Mu frowned, “I heard there are blood-sucking leeches in there. If you don’t find them in time, they’ll burrow into your body.”

Xia Jinuo nodded, “That’s true.”

At this, their faces not only looked bad but turned outright green. They retreated with expressions of disgust, terrified of accidentally stepping into the mud.

Xia Jinuo stood by the lotus pond, admiring the pink and white lotus flowers. Her long hair, lifted by the wind, brushed her arm, tickling her. She turned her head and saw Jiang Li standing beside her. She asked in surprise, “Aren’t you scared?”

Jiang Li’s profile was exquisite and beautiful, her eyelashes long and curled, her pale cheeks flushed faintly pink by the sun, like a beautiful doll. Especially her fluffy, curly, light pink hair, which shimmered with magnificent color in the sunlight, astonishingly beautiful.

Jiang Li curved her lips: “No, I’m not scared.” Her almost whispered voice was close by. Xia Jinuo rubbed her ear, “Did you guess the production team would provide tools?”

“The production team isn’t making a show to torment the guests.”

Xia Jinuo thought Jiang Li was truly smart. It was a pity that such a beautiful and intelligent female lead couldn’t escape the clutches of the five scumbag Alphas.

Sure enough, after a while, staff members brought seven sets of waterproof suits. Once put on, they could directly enter the lotus pond to dig roots.

Wang Yixi’s trendy clothes were adorned with various chains. He didn’t want the disgusting-looking mud sticking to him. His face slightly pale, he said, “Don’t give me one. I’m feeling a bit unwell. The smell of the lotus pond makes me want to vomit. Ugh—”

[Hahahaha, Wang Yixi really doesn’t want to dig lotus roots.]

[Still laughing? I don’t see anything funny. This useless Alpha who can’t even fake being disgusted, always thinking of running away when there’s a problem. Omegas watching the live stream, open your eyes. Don’t be fooled by this Alpha’s appearance and pheromones. If you marry him, you’ll only get a macho Alpha who does no housework and is picky, expecting you to serve him like a lord.]

Lu Chen hesitated as he took the waterproof suit. Xu Chuyue and Du Qiuxin’s excuse for refusing was their mysophobia. Xie Mu, however, was quite interested and quickly put on the waterproof suit.

Ultimately, only Xia Jinuo, Xie Mu, Lu Chen, and Jiang Li were willing to go into the lotus pond to dig roots.

“PD, can we exchange the lotus roots we dig for money to buy things from the production team?”

On the way here, they passed a small convenience store with several cases of iced soda placed outside. Drinking a bottle of soda in this weather would be incredibly refreshing.

Everyone in the lotus pond group was also part of the production team. After consulting with the staff, they decided to purchase the lotus roots at a price of 50 cents per catty.

“No problem.” Xia Jinuo turned around, a brilliant smile on her face, and said to the three who were about to enter the lotus pond, “Everyone, let’s do our best and try to clear out the lotus pond to make a big fortune!”

Wang Yixi watched Xia Jinuo step into the lotus pond first, her legs sinking into the mud, making her unsteady. He mocked, “I bet she can dig at most half a kilo.”

Digging lotus roots was quite messy for inexperienced people. Not only would their feet constantly get stuck, but their strained faces while bending over also completely ruined their image.

“Jiang Li is too strong-willed; she doesn’t need to go down there,” Du Qiuxin said.

Wang Yixi sneered, “Why don’t you go in her place? You’re so tall, you’d definitely get more leeches on you.”

“Forget it,” Du Qiuxin was disgusted by the image in his mind. He covered his mouth and turned away, not wanting to hear Wang Yixi speak anymore.

Xia Jinuo had experience digging potatoes, and she was equally experienced at digging lotus roots. The others were either slow or broke the roots, but only Xia Jinuo dug quickly and efficiently. White, tender sections of lotus root emerged from the water one by one. Jiang Li quietly approached Xia Jinuo, observing her movements.

The three on the bank genuinely had mysophobia and kept their distance. The two Alphas digging roots were focused, competing to see who could dig more. Even for the small honor of digging lotus roots, they didn’t want to lose to another Alpha.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her and Jiang Li, Xia Jinuo leaned close to Jiang Li’s ear and whispered, “I’ll teach you how to dig lotus roots.”

Jiang Li looked up, Xia Jinuo’s face reflected in her eyes, a little surprised.

Usually, Xia Jinuo was unwilling to approach her proactively, so why was she offering to teach her now?

Jiang Li’s eyes scanned the surroundings and quickly understood the reason. Her expression became even more peculiar.

She wants to help her, but only when the other Alphas aren’t aware…

What is Xia Jinuo trying to do?
