Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 24

Xia Jinuo and Xu Chuyue were a bit slower. When they arrived at the dining room, everyone was already there. On the Alphas’ side, only the two leftmost seats were empty.

Xia Jinuo looked up at the opposite side and saw Jiang Li sitting on the far right of the Omegas, furthest from these two seats. A smile touched her lips, and she contentedly sat down with Xu Chuyue, completely oblivious to Jiang Li’s face, which had already been covered in a frosty expression from a distance.

“Everyone’s here. You’ve all had a long day, let’s eat,” Xia Jinuo said naturally.

She was indeed hungry, especially while cooking; her stomach had been growling.

After Xia Jinuo transformed into an Alpha, her appetite increased several times over. As an Omega, “Ji Jinuo” used to eat only two meals a day, with each meal being only fist-sized, to maintain her figure. If Xia Jinuo were to eat like that now, she definitely couldn’t stand it.

Luo Wei was also in charge of the main course. When steaming rice, she originally planned to steam less because none of the Omegas ate main courses at night, and while Alphas would eat, Alphas from wealthy families practiced health preservation from a young age and wouldn’t eat much at night either. However, Xia Jinuo vetoed it completely.

“I can eat whatever amount you steam,” Xia Jinuo guaranteed.

Luo Wei hesitated, but Xia Jinuo began to act pitiful, inadvertently using the coquettish skills “Ji Jinuo” had practiced: “Look how thin I’ve become now. Just let me eat more. The internet says I’m so thin I’ve lost my looks and am ugly. I need to gain some weight quickly so I don’t drag our show down, right?”

Xia Jinuo’s voice was soft, and she then blinked her eyes. Luo Wei, with a helpless look, compromised, “Alright, alright, I’ll put in more rice, just for you.”

If Xia Jinuo had been even prettier, Luo Wei would have blushed and her heart would have pounded. Unfortunately, Luo Wei was a bit of a lookist, and Xia Jinuo’s current appearance was far from that level.

At that time, Jiang Li had already left. Han Wutong and Fang Ling, who were present, were both amused by their conversation and laughed out loud. Their relationship deepened due to Xia Jinuo’s coquettish skills, making their interactions much more relaxed.

On the long table, all the dishes were divided into two portions, preventing inconvenience for people on either side.

Although everyone was an equal guest, almost all the Alphas were currently there for Jiang Li. Only when Jiang Li took the first dish did everyone else start eating.

Wang Yixi ate differently from others. He held his breath, determined to make Xia Jinuo lose to him, so he immediately tasted every dish, including the two soups, and critiqued each one.

Wang Yixi: “These shredded potatoes aren’t cut well; it affects the cooking time and texture. They’re just so-so. The braised chicken with potatoes is barely edible.”

Han Wutong: “…” Can someone do something?!

“Blanched greens are supposed to be tender, but these are clearly overcooked.”

“The stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts is also overcooked. Definitely cooked by one person.”

“The garlic broccoli doesn’t look good, but unexpectedly, it tastes alright, edible. But the presentation needs improvement. If it weren’t for reviewing, I wouldn’t even try a dish with such a bad appearance.”

Luo Wei: “…” I really want to sew his mouth shut!

Wang Yixi then served himself some soup and took a sip, “I suggest the chef who made this soup change careers in the future. Absolutely no talent.”

Fang Ling’s eyes reddened, almost brought to tears by the critique.

Wang Yixi’s scathing remarks were meant for indiscriminate attack, vowing to strike down Xia Jinuo.

After tasting the five dishes and two bowls of soup in front of him, Wang Yixi saw Xia Jinuo eating with her head down, not even looking up, and immediately felt confident. The dishes he had just critiqued definitely included some made by Xia Jinuo.

He was sitting in the middle, and the other five dishes were further away. Wang Yixi simply got up from his seat, taking his chopsticks and bowl, and deliberately walked to Xia Jinuo’s side of the table.

“Here, let me taste these dishes. Sweet and sour pork, such a big plate, it won’t be so bad that half of it’s left, right?” Wang Yixi picked up a piece of meat. The translucent sauce coated the surface of the meat, looking exceptionally tempting under the light. As it approached his mouth, he could smell a sweet aroma. Wang Yixi put it in his mouth, bit down, and the crispy skin broke, the juices exploding in his mouth. Sweet, savory, and crispy. Wang Yixi silently finished it and immediately picked up another piece.

The three Omegas, who had been watching his actions, widened their eyes slightly. Wang Yixi not only didn’t mock Xia Jinuo’s dish after eating it, but he kept eating, chopstick after chopstick, unable to stop.

They had been very confident in their cooking skills before but had just been belittled by Wang Yixi. Now, with Wang Yixi’s reaction, how delicious must Xia Jinuo’s dishes be?

Han Wutong swallowed, reached out, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork from her side. As the meat entered her mouth, she immediately narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

Everyone at the table sensed something. Xu Chuyue pressed down on Wang Yixi’s hand as he reached for another piece, and looked up, saying coldly, “You can’t be too selfish. You’ve already eaten it all, what about others?”

Wang Yixi: “…Fine, I’ll try another dish.”

He didn’t dare defy Xu Chuyue. He randomly picked another dish, put it in his mouth, “!!!” This one was delicious too!

“You guys are too much! Why are all the delicious dishes on this side? I have to carry my bowl over here to try them!” Wang Yixi complained without wasting time, continuing to try the next dish. After tasting the remaining three dishes, Wang Yixi clutched his stomach. Seeing everyone else silently picking at the food, he felt like he was losing out if he didn’t eat a few more bites.

But he was already very full, and eating more didn’t align with his health preservation philosophy…

“Yixi, move aside,” Xia Jinuo stood up with an empty bowl.

Wang Yixi’s face lit up, “You’re not eating anymore? Give your seat to…”

“I’m getting more rice,” Xia Jinuo interrupted Wang Yixi.

Wang Yixi looked at Xia Jinuo with jealousy and disappointment, “Are you a glutton? How can you eat so much?”

Xia Jinuo innocently said, “Of course, if the food is delicious, you have to eat a few more bites.”

While Wang Yixi and Xia Jinuo were talking, the last piece of sweet and sour pork was eaten by Xu Chuyue. Wang Yixi’s expression, as if he had lost the world, almost made Xia Jinuo burst into laughter.

She quickly pursed her lips to hold back her laughter and hurried away, going to the kitchen to fill her bowl with rice again.

By the time Xia Jinuo returned, Wang Yixi had no idea how much more he had eaten. He was reluctantly clutching his stomach, pacing back and forth, seemingly trying to digest so he could eat a little more.

The dishes Xia Jinuo made were all very generous portions. Even though everyone ate a lot, abandoning their usual health practices and stuffing themselves, there were still leftovers.

By the time she was on her fourth bowl of rice, everyone else had finished and left the table, leaving only Xia Jinuo still eating.

Wang Yixi finished pacing in the living room and returned, looking at the nearly empty dishes on the table, feeling his heart bleed.

He pointed at Xia Jinuo and said, “You still won’t admit you’re a glutton. Can’t you eat a little less? The leftovers won’t be thrown away; there’s clearly enough for another meal tomorrow morning.”

Xia Jinuo’s cheeks were puffed out from eating. She looked up at Wang Yixi, her voice muffled, “We can just make fresh food tomorrow. Why eat leftovers?”

Wang Yixi: “…” He was just afraid that his snarky mouth had offended the chef, and what if they threw a fit and refused to cook tomorrow?

Wang Yixi didn’t want to show weakness in front of Xia Jinuo. He snorted and turned to leave.

Xia Jinuo finally felt full after five bowls of rice. She put down her chopsticks and went to the living room to find the others.

“Excuse me, I ate too slowly. I wanted to ask, who’s in charge of cleaning the table?”

Xia Jinuo didn’t walk further in. Xu Chuyue happened to be sitting on the outermost side. Jiang Li saw her stop next to Xu Chuyue, and her heart filled with unresolved frustration. It was too difficult to make Xia Jinuo give up on Xu Chuyue. Jiang Li forced herself not to pay attention to them and focused on the evening news.

Wang Yixi said sarcastically, “Whoever ate the most cleans up.”

Xia Jinuo was a little surprised: “I thought if you cooked, you wouldn’t have to clean the table.”

“Of course other chefs don’t have to, but you’re different. What you ate already offset what you cooked. You can only work to atone for your sins. It’s settled.”

Xia Jinuo widened her eyes, “But…”

Wang Yixi waved his hand: “No buts! Go clean the table quickly. I won’t let anyone help you!”

Xia Jinuo frowned: “Okay, I feel a bit cheated. Then I won’t cook tomorrow. Anyway, I’d have to clean the table.”

Wang Yixi: “Ha! I won’t even mention how bad those dishes you made were. You not cooking just gives us a break.”

The Alphas were all watching the show, with no intention of getting involved, letting Xia Jinuo be mocked by Wang Yixi.

Han Wutong and Luo Wei were both annoyed by Wang Yixi, hating why this person had to bring his mouth to the show.

Just as the two were about to speak up for Xia Jinuo, Fang Ling, who had always shown a strong liking for Wang Yixi, suddenly spoke, “But you were praising how delicious Ji Jinuo’s dishes were while you were eating them. Why don’t you like them after you’ve finished? If you don’t want to eat Ji Jinuo’s cooking, I do. I’ll clean the table for Ji Jinuo.”

Fang Ling’s words immediately dropped a bomb among the Alphas. Wang Yixi, at the center of the explosion, his face suddenly changed color, “What did you say?”
