Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 19
[I almost died laughing watching the Alphas argue just now. Other Alphas pursue Omegas by competing with their wealth, these guys are competing over who can dig more lotus roots.]
[I didn’t expect even the cold President Xu Chuyue to open her mouth and mock them. The power of lotus root digging is truly great.]
[It’s still Wang Yixi’s mouth. Which conflict hasn’t he been involved in?]
[Huh? Speaking of which, why isn’t the other Alpha here?]
[FYI, our Ji Jinuo is a warm little angel, she only gives warmth and never participates in arguments.]
[Haha, so funny. “Warm little angel.” You ugly-liking fans are really good at brainwashing people. The other five Alphas probably just look down on her and think she’s not on their level, which is why they don’t argue with her.]
[Ji Jinuo is back!]
[Ahhh, she’s really an angel! One bottle of iced soda per person, easily winning over all the Alphas. Wuwuwu, Nuonuo doesn’t just give warmth, she also gives iced soda~ I really like her.]
[I don’t know if you noticed, but she bought the soda with her own money. Although our Nuonuo is poor, she’s not stingy at all.]
[Heh, poor but generous.]
Unexpectedly, the third location was the supermarket where Xia Jinuo bought cold drinks. The staff said, “Later, a batch of goods will arrive at the supermarket, and everyone needs to help unload them and organize the shelves. The price is ten yuan per person per hour. In one hour, everyone can earn seventy yuan, which is enough to buy meat and seasonings.”
Xia Jinuo glanced at the time. It was past four o’clock. In an hour, it would be five. Then there would be two more locations left, meaning they wouldn’t get back until after seven, arriving at the villa around eight.
Alphas had never done such manual labor. Lu Chen said, “I just earned money from digging lotus roots, I can spend that. I’ll skip this task.”
Xie Mu didn’t expect such an option and immediately said, “I also earned money, so I’ll skip it too.”
Wang Yixi and the other two had done nothing at the lotus pond. If they still didn’t do anything now, it would definitely affect their image in the audience’s eyes, so they could only grit their teeth and agree.
The staff member listened to someone through his earpiece, then clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention: “Everyone, I just received instructions from the person in charge. The production team will be scoring everyone on this task. The guest with the highest score can choose their preferred person for the first date.”
Xu Chuyue looked at him coldly: “This isn’t fair. I didn’t know about this at the last task location.”
Xia Jinuo’s heart fluttered slightly. She really didn’t want to actively choose anyone to date.
The staff member said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Xu, scoring will begin from this task onwards.”
Only then was Xu Chuyue satisfied.
Lu Chen and Xie Mu, however, were not pleased. “We suffered for nothing on the last task.”
The staff member gave an awkward smile: “I just received the news too.”
If it were Wang Yixi, he would have already started a ruckus with the production team. Lu Chen and Xie Mu were image-conscious, so they could only bear this unfairness.
Everyone chose to accept the task, except Xia Jinuo.
The large truck pulled up outside the supermarket. Xia Jinuo walked over to the side alone and said to the staff, “I dug too many lotus roots in the last task, and I’m very tired now, so I’d like to opt out of this task.”
The staff member felt sorry for her: “You were too diligent; you dug almost half of the lotus roots. It’s no wonder you’re tired.”
“There’s nothing to be done. I just really wanted iced soda at the time,” Xia Jinuo smiled, appearing unconcerned about the scoring.
The staff member guessed she was opting out because she felt she had no chance of winning in the dating variety show against the other five Alphas. He sighed inwardly but had no good way to help her.
People nowadays were still quite realistic. Sometimes, even if they had a good impression of Xia Jinuo, they might give up because they feared parental disapproval or being criticized by the audience.
Xia Jinuo’s objective conditions were indeed not very advantageous.
Xia Jinuo, with her maximum affability, went straight into the supermarket after opting out of the task. She chatted with the owner for a few minutes. The owner felt like they were old friends who had just met, kept pulling her into conversation, and after learning she was an Alpha, even tried to set her up.
Jiang Li carried a box of biscuits in and, hearing the owner’s words, looked at Xia Jinuo who was smiling and not refusing. She abruptly interjected, “Ji Jinuo is participating in a dating variety show, so it’s not suitable for a blind date.”
After speaking, she ignored the reactions of the owner and Xia Jinuo, placed the biscuits in their designated spot, and left.
Jiang Li smiled: “Jiang Li was afraid you’d actually keep me. She seems aloof, but sometimes she’s very trusting of others.”
In the novel, Jiang Li didn’t initially dislike the five scumbag Alphas entirely. She was a very grateful Omega; she’d remember even the smallest kindness others showed her, but it all ended up being ruined by the scumbag Alphas.
This was also what Xia Jinuo felt most sorry for her about.
The owner’s smile was teasing: “Oh~ Is that so good? I see that pretty Omega seems a bit interested in you. Aren’t you two on a dating variety show? Why aren’t you going after her quickly?”
Xia Jinuo quickly shook her head: “I can’t pursue her.”
“What’s ‘can’t’? You’re an Alpha, she’s an Omega, you’re not into same-Alpha relationships, aren’t you a perfect match?” It was clear the owner genuinely liked them, completely disregarding the difference in Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li’s appearances, and urged Xia Jinuo to pursue Jiang Li based on a small detail.
Xia Jinuo still shook her head: “I really can’t pursue her.”
Pursuing Jiang Li was akin to seeking death. If she died, who would save Jiang Li?
Xia Jinuo’s goal was firm and would not be easily swayed by external factors.
Xia Jinuo chatted with the boss for an hour indoors while enjoying the air conditioning. The Alphas toiled for high scores. When the boss settled the bill, he readily took out sixty yuan and said, “Ji Jinuo is my friend, so I’ll give you an 80% discount on anything you buy in the supermarket.”
An 80% discount meant they saved twelve yuan on sixty yuan. Xia Jinuo did nothing and still earned two yuan more than them.
After an awkward silence, the Alphas turned to buy the necessary meat and seasonings.
Xia Jinuo went over to help, picking out two catties of pork belly, one catty of pork loin, and gathered all the necessary seasonings, ending up one yuan over budget.
Lu Chen and Xie Mu eagerly vied to pay the one yuan, showcasing their capabilities, but the owner waved his hand and said, “For Ji Jinuo’s sake, the one yuan is waived.”
Lu Chen & Xie Mu: “…”
Everyone paid and left the supermarket with their items. The five scumbag Alphas looked dazed and speechless. All their hard work and effort were seemingly less effective than Xia Jinuo simply chatting with the boss.
[Pfft! That’s Ji Jinuo’s charm! Don’t look down on her; there are plenty of people who like her~]
[The Alphas are discouraged. Speaking of which, Ji Jinuo gave me many surprises today. I originally had the lowest expectations for her, but now I like her the most.]
[Me too!]
Everyone silently arrived at the fourth location, which was a seafood market. After what happened earlier, no one had the energy to do any more tasks. In the end, Lu Chen and Xie Mu paid for less than twenty yuan worth of clams.
The two would definitely get more points for this, but the other Alphas were no longer in the mood to quibble.
Xia Jinuo pretended she hadn’t noticed anything and remained silent, absolutely not wanting to stand out at this moment.
If she did anything more, these Alphas, who had no moral bottom line, wouldn’t go easy on her.
Xia Jinuo was glad she had generously treated them to iced soda earlier. She hoped that for the sake of that soda, they wouldn’t actively cause trouble.
