Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 22
Five minutes later, the minibus stopped outside the villa. Xia Jinuo stood up and glanced behind her. The five Alphas, still wearing eye masks, were asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
The PD and Qiqi knew that most Alphas had bad tempers and didn’t dare to wake them. The VJ needed to film their awakening, so the three cast pleading glances at Jiang Li, but Xia Jinuo intercepted them.
“Jiang Li, you go ahead and get off the bus. Head straight to your room and rest. We’ll handle the shopping,” Xia Jinuo turned back and said softly to Jiang Li.
How could she let Jiang Li wake them up? Wouldn’t that be sending a lamb to the slaughter?
Blocked by Xia Jinuo, Jiang Li couldn’t see the situation behind them. After a moment of hesitation, she ultimately didn’t force herself to get involved due to her dislike of Alphas.
“Thank you.”
Xia Jinuo watched Jiang Li get off the bus, then turned and gave the VJ an OK gesture. The VJ turned on the live camera.
“Everyone’s sleeping soundly. I’m going to see who has morning temper,” Xia Jinuo said to the camera, then turned and walked to the back. She stopped at the fourth row and softly called Xu Chuyue.
“President Xu, we’ve arrived at our destination.”
Xu Chuyue didn’t need much calling. Her hand moved, she took off her eye mask, revealing her sharp eyes. Seeing Xia Jinuo approaching, Xu Chuyue’s expression instantly became serious, “Stay away from me.”
“No problem, President Xu~” Xia Jinuo easily woke her up and immediately went to wake the next person.
Xu Chuyue watched Xia Jinuo leave so decisively, and for some reason, she wasn’t happy about her being so understanding.
Xu Chuyue frowned, stood up, and got off the bus.
Jiang Li took a suitcase from the back of the bus and was about to pull it into the villa when she saw Xu Chuyue get off. She stopped, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Chuyue’s face, and her voice was cold: “Ji Jinuo woke you up first?”
Xu Chuyue looked at Jiang Li, “Is there a problem with her waking me up first?”
Their auras were equally strong. They stood face to face, with no mutual attraction between Alpha and Omega, only an inexplicable confrontation.
On the bus, Xia Jinuo called Lu Chen’s name. Lu Chen had a morning temper; when he took off his eye mask, his irritability was completely undisguised. When his eyes were revealed, the audience in the live stream were startled, and the VJ couldn’t help but take a step back.
Xia Jinuo felt fine. She had known these people were scumbags for a long time, so she wasn’t surprised by any perverse looks they might show. Facing Lu Chen’s gaze, her expression remained normal, and she gave a gentle smile, patting Lu Chen’s shoulder, “We’re at the villa. Hurry and get off.”
After speaking, Xia Jinuo went to the back row to call Du Qiuxin and Xie Mu. She thought Wang Yixi, who was supposed to be the most difficult, had already woken up on his own and was rubbing his eyes.
Lu Chen slowly recovered, remembering his recent eye contact with Xia Jinuo. He felt a strange sensation.
He had a morning temper since childhood; even his parents didn’t dare to force him awake, saying that when he first opened his eyes, he looked like he was staring at dead people.
Xia Jinuo was different from others. Lu Chen didn’t see a hint of fear in her eyes.
Xie Mu was awake, but his eyes remained closed. He nodded to everything Xia Jinuo said but refused to comply until Wang Yixi forcefully dragged him off the bus.
Only Du Qiuxin, who seemed to have the best temper, remained.
When Xia Jinuo called his name, Du Qiuxin suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. A smile appeared on his lips: “Bad kid, how can you call your teacher by name?”
Xia Jinuo’s hair stood on end for a moment. Her Alpha pheromones spread due to the shock. Du Qiuxin’s movements paused, and he slowly released her hand. He took off his eye mask and saw Xia Jinuo’s stiff body in front of him, startled.
He had been half-asleep just now, thinking he was in the office and had grabbed the hand of a Beta student.
Du Qiuxin smiled: “I was just playing a little joke with you. I didn’t scare you, did I?”
Xia Jinuo’s mood was hard to describe. That sentence was full of flirtatious implication; only a fool would believe it was a joke.
Du Qiuxin, that scumbag Alpha, truly lives up to his reputation. No matter how well he pretends, there are always times when he slips up.
“It’s nothing. It’s just my first time having an Alpha grab my wrist, so I’m not used to it. Everyone’s outside, let’s get off quickly,” Xia Jinuo replied with a smile.
[Who knew Ji Jinuo was the goddess that these Alphas were pursuing? How could the production team agree to let her wake up the Alphas? Aren’t they afraid that two Alphas would get into a big fight because of it?]
[Didn’t see a big fight, but I’m shipping Ji Jinuo with all the Alphas. Is there still hope for me?]
[Me too! Especially hearing Du Qiuxin call her a “bad kid,” that tone was so sexy, really exciting!]
[Those who ship DuJi (Du Qixin and Ji Jinuo) are blessed! Full of CP chemistry, much better than that XiJi CP, wuwu. This is the kind of CP adults should watch, no more volatile, childish elementary school kids.]
Xia Jinuo and Du Qiuxin got off the bus one after another. Only then did they realize that no one else, including Jiang Li, had left.
“Why is everyone waiting outside? It’s so hot. It’d be much better to go inside,” Xia Jinuo counted the suitcases, found that they had all been taken down, and proactively walked next to Jiang Li to take one.
Xie Mu smiled, “President Xu and Jiang Li were waiting for you, so of course, we didn’t feel right leaving first.”
Xia Jinuo immediately looked at Jiang Li. The moment their eyes met, Xia Jinuo remembered that she shouldn’t get too close to Jiang Li. She immediately shifted her gaze to Xu Chuyue, her eyes gleaming, “Thank you, President Xu and Jiang Li, for waiting for me.”
Of course, with the other Alphas present, she would never show favoritism. She quickly added, “And thank you to Yixi, Lu Chen, and Xie Mu for waiting for me and Qiuxin.”
Wang Yixi snorted, “No one balances things better than you. You never leave anyone out.”
Xia Jinuo just smiled.
Everyone took a suitcase and walked into the villa together.
Jiang Li lingered behind, idly thinking that Wang Yixi was wrong; Xia Jinuo wasn’t balancing things out. She was exceptionally different towards Xu Chuyue, not only waking her up first but also immediately walking to Xu Chuyue’s side after getting off the bus.
Unfortunately, no matter how subtly Xia Jinuo did it, Jiang Li still noticed.
Xu Chuyue was not a good person. Jiang Li had thoroughly investigated all the guests when she decided to join the dating variety show. The seemingly cold and ruthless Xu Chuyue was not as upright as her appearance suggested. The Xu Group’s current scale was largely due to Xu Chuyue’s various insidious business tactics behind the scenes.
Xia Jinuo had only recently undergone secondary differentiation into an Alpha. She didn’t understand the Alpha’s ingrained flaws and still held illusions about Alphas. Jiang Li couldn’t just stand by and watch such a pure Alpha fall into the quagmire named Xu Chuyue.
However, Jiang Li knew that while Xia Jinuo liked Xu Chuyue, these Alphas were actually all after her. If she protected Xia Jinuo too obviously, it might instead put Xia Jinuo in danger.
Today was only the first day of filming. She could take her time and slowly make Xia Jinuo see Xu Chuyue’s true colors.
Upon entering the villa, Fang Ling, Han Wutong, and Luo Wei immediately came over to help everyone take the items out of their suitcases and sort them into the kitchen.
Fang Ling said, “Leave the rest to us. You all worked hard all afternoon, so go back to your rooms, take a shower, and rest well. Come back when dinner is ready.”
After going out, everyone had done a lot of work, and it was impossible not to sweat. Jiang Li’s room was on the second floor, and she had already gone back to her room.
Xia Jinuo saw that none of the Alphas paid attention to Fang Ling and all left directly. She proactively said to Fang Ling, whose face was slightly stiff, “I’ll come help you cook after I shower.”
Fang Ling hadn’t recovered from the recent blow and nodded blankly. Xia Jinuo consoled her, “It’s better to focus on yourself than on others. At least you won’t disappoint yourself.”
Only after saying this did Xia Jinuo leave.
Han Wutong, who had returned after putting away potatoes and happened to hear what Xia Jinuo said to Fang Ling, walked over and patted Fang Ling’s shoulder, “Alright, there are so many Alphas in the world, and there are only a few here. Just because they don’t like you doesn’t mean Alphas outside of this dating variety show won’t like you. Are there no excellent Alphas besides these five?”
Fang Ling forced a smile, “Thank you, Wutong, I know.”
She was just raised this way by her family since childhood, accustomed to actively trying to please powerful Alphas. Changing her mindset wouldn’t happen overnight.
Xia Jinuo and Wang Yixi shared a suite. Wang Yixi found Fang Ling annoying and walked quickly. Xia Jinuo didn’t see him in the small living room. Returning to her bedroom, Xia Jinuo locked the door, and her constantly tense nerves finally relaxed.
Meanwhile, Jiang Li didn’t rest after showering. She went downstairs to look for someone, but couldn’t find anyone. Instead, she overheard Han Wutong and Luo Wei discussing Xia Jinuo.
“Xia Jinuo is actually pretty good. I think she’s the only one who isn’t interested in Jiang Li. Anyway, I’m completely done with the other Alphas. If you also want to try with Xia Jinuo, how about we compete fairly?”
Jiang Li: “…”
