Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 35

“Qiqi,” Xia Jinuo suddenly asked, “The two members of a team take turns going up, right?”

Qiqi nodded: “Of course, that’s only fair.”

Qiqi finished with a bright smile, “So, choosing your teammate is crucial. If your teammate is knowledgeable and answers every question correctly, you won’t fall into the pool. So, the upcoming drawing lots segment is key.”

The staff brought out the drawing box. Lu Chen said, “Isn’t sharing teammate points a bit unfair? I suggest calculating scores based on the number of correct answers.”

Xu Chuyue’s forehead was now covered in a thin layer of sweat, and her expression was dazed, showing no intention of participating in the discussion.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely speak up and influence the outcome of the rules.

Qiqi explained, “But the person standing on the platform also contributes. If you answer wrong, they fall down. They take the punishment for you, so sharing points is actually fair.”

Lu Chen thought Qiqi also made a good point. A few people were persuaded by Qiqi, and they began to line up to draw lots for teams.

Xu Chuyue, distracted, was unconsciously left at the very end.

Those who had drawn their lots earlier quickly found out who their teammates were. Wang Yixi and Du Qiuxin were a team, Lu Chen and Luo Wei were a team, Jiang Li and Han Wutong were a team. Xia Jinuo hadn’t expected such a coincidence, but she was teamed with Xu Chuyue.

She held up the drawing result and walked to Xu Chuyue, her eyes sparkling with surprise, smiling brightly, “President Xu, I’m so lucky to be on a team with you.”

Xu Chuyue’s arm stiffly pulled out the last slip from the drawing box. Seeing the number “3” written on the slip, her fear instantly magnified to the extreme—Xia Jinuo’s “battle results” from the last competition were zero points!

Didn’t that mean that every time Xia Jinuo answered a question, she would fall from the high platform, over and over again?

Xu Chuyue’s pale face immediately turned green, and her teeth ground together, making a “creaking” sound.

Everyone around noticed her abnormality. Wang Yixi’s schadenfreude had just appeared on his face when he suddenly remembered that Xu Chuyue was not someone he could offend. He reluctantly closed his mouth, the regret in his eyes almost overflowing.

“President Xu, what’s wrong?” Xia Jinuo approached Xu Chuyue with concern.

Unfortunately, in Xu Chuyue’s mind, Xia Jinuo was now the embodiment of a devil. Seeing her approach, Xu Chuyue immediately took a step back, clearly showing her disdain.

Xia Jinuo stood rooted to the spot, feeling a little flustered, her cheeks slightly flushed, “President Xu?”

Wang Yixi, for some reason, couldn’t stand Xia Jinuo’s current appearance. Lu Chen also frowned displeasedly. What on earth was Xu Chuyue doing?

Qiqi quickly stepped forward to mediate the crisis, “Is President Xu feeling unwell? Should we call an ambulance?”

If an ambulance came and everyone found out she was like this because of acrophobia, it would be even more embarrassing.

“No need.” Xu Chuyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart, saying calmly, “It’s nothing serious, just my heart suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable. I can overcome it.”

Xu Chuyue said she could overcome it, but the production team dared not take that risk.

It was her heart, after all. If Xu Chuyue experienced physical problems due to stimulation, Xu Group’s legal department would surely make them bankrupt and put them in jail. It was uncertain if they could find work after getting out of jail. In short, every single person in their production team would have a bad ending.

Li Qin, who was monitoring backstage, immediately gave Qiqi the solution. Qiqi carefully asked, “President Xu’s heart is uncomfortable, so it seems she can’t participate in this competition. Is it okay if you forfeit and don’t get points?”

Xu Chuyue was now being helped to sit down. Xia Jinuo, at this point, “knew” that Xu Chuyue wasn’t rejecting her, but merely had a heart discomfort and happened to step back when she approached.

Xia Jinuo’s expression returned to normal. She followed her to the side and, hearing the question, said gently, “President Xu was forced to withdraw from the competition due to irresistible factors. It’s unfair for her not to get points. How about I stay on the platform the entire time, and President Xu answers all the questions? We’ll still share the score.”

Xia Jinuo knew that when dealing with Xu Chuyue, she should know when to quit while she was ahead. Pushing her too hard might cause a backlash.

Xu Chuyue’s complexion slowly returned to normal after confirming she didn’t have to go up to the high platform. Her chaotic mind became clear again. Hearing Xia Jinuo’s words, she looked up at her.

Xia Jinuo noticed Xu Chuyue’s gaze, looked back, and returned a gentle smile, “President Xu, can you accept this method?”

Xu Chuyue looked deeply at Xia Jinuo, then lowered her gaze with a cold expression, “Yes.”

Neither Xu Chuyue nor the production team had any objections. At this point, if other guests disagreed, it would be deliberately causing trouble and would definitely offend Xu Chuyue.

No one present could bear the consequences of offending Xu Chuyue, so they all said they also had “no objection.”

Wang Yixi’s agreement was uttered through gritted teeth, making it obvious to everyone that he was foolish—he couldn’t even manage to ingratiate himself. Why did he have to show his reluctance instead of keeping it to himself? How was that different from directly offending Xu Chuyue?

However, the other scumbag Alphas were pleased with this. Wang Yixi’s foolishness highlighted their own astuteness; otherwise, Xu Chuyue wouldn’t even remember their good deeds.

The matter was settled. The production team had prepared changes of clothes for everyone, so there was no need to worry about not having dry clothes after falling into the water.

There were a total of twenty questions, with each person answering ten, and Xu Chuyue answering all twenty herself.

Fang Ling and Xie Mu, as judges, were responsible for monitoring the guests answering questions to prevent them from helping each other.

Qiqi said, “Once a judge finds that you’ve given an answer only after being prompted, regardless of whether the answer is correct, one point will be deducted.”

Wang Yixi and Du Qiuxin were huddled together, whispering. Mainly, Wang Yixi was pulling Du Qiuxin, telling him to remember to prompt him when he answered questions, otherwise he would suffer without getting points.

Who knew that just as Wang Yixi convinced Du Qiuxin, Qiqi added another rule.

Normally, as long as it wasn’t too obvious, the judges wouldn’t be too strict.

But Wang Yixi couldn’t afford it. The judges were Fang Ling and Xie Mu, whom he had just offended. He would bet that those two would definitely watch him like a hawk, and even the slightest movement would result in an immediate point deduction.

He was already frustrated enough from having three points deducted by Xie Mu that morning. He was still hoping for a comeback in this round. How could he afford to lose more points?

So Wang Yixi immediately loudly declared, “Brother Du, you absolutely must not pass me any information! We are the team that follows the rules most strictly.”

Du Qiuxin, under everyone’s gaze, experienced the taste of embarrassment for the first time: “…Yes, we follow the rules.”

Idiot Wang Yixi, his luck is really bad. Why am I on a team with this fool?

Wang Yixi personally enacted “trying to cover up an exposed mistake” and “burying one’s head in the sand.” Everyone was used to his idiotic behavior, so they just smiled and didn’t take it seriously.

Fang Ling, however, was annoyed. The thought of herself initially trying to befriend Wang Yixi, seen by so many viewers, made her terribly ashamed.

Thankfully, she had already given up on Wang Yixi.

She wasn’t very interested in the other Alphas in the dating variety show, except for Xia Jinuo. But Xia Jinuo currently had more shortcomings than advantages and had no connection to the theater, so Fang Ling wouldn’t even consider her.

There were so many Alphas in the world, and the theater wasn’t monopolized by Wang Yixi’s family’s Ruguo Theater. She would definitely have opportunities to meet heirs from other theaters in the future.

In this afternoon’s competition, Xu Chuyue seemed to have hit a cheat code. All twenty questions were ones she knew. Because she didn’t get a single one wrong, Xia Jinuo also didn’t fall into the pool and scramble out wet like the other guests.

[Wow, Nuonuo’s luck is too good! President Xu is simply the ideal human being. Not only is she a domineering President, but she’s also so cultured, knowing everything about astronomy and geography. She can even answer such obscure questions correctly.]

[Haha, am I the only one who focused on Wang Yixi the whole time? He got eight out of ten questions wrong, and Du Qiuxin fell eight times straight, almost getting brain damage from the falls.]

[Du Qiuxin is too kind. If it were me, I’d definitely get angry and deliberately answer wrong to get revenge on Wang Yixi. Too bad Du Qiuxin only got two questions wrong.]

[The person above, are you ignoring how excited Wang Yixi was when he fell into the water? Du Qiuxin must have realized Wang Yixi liked falling into the water, so he worked hard to answer correctly and score points. Wang Yixi was overjoyed when he got the first two wrong. Since he had already given up on a comeback, getting the next eight all correct was the real punishment for Wang Yixi.]

[And Jiang Li also got all of them right! But Han Wutong got one wrong. I really wonder how smart the children born from Jiang Li and Xu Chuyue would be.]

[Do you guys still remember this is a dating variety show? I specifically watched just now, when Jiang Li came out of the pool, soaking wet, with her clothes clinging to her curves, all the Alphas present, except for Ji Jinuo, were stunned!]

[Everyone, after reading the above, please don’t question Nuonuo’s gender. She rushed to Jiang Li and wrapped a bath towel around her! What is this? This is an Alpha’s possessiveness towards their beloved Omega! RuoJi RuoLi, I’m dying from the cuteness of this ship!]

The game ended, and the guests already roughly knew their score rankings. After learning from Qiqi that they would return to the villa in an hour, some went to shower, and others continued swimming.

Although Xia Jinuo wasn’t wet, she had been sweating all afternoon in the sun.

Xia Jinuo went to the female Alpha’s bathroom to shower. The first thing she did after getting her phone from the PD was to immediately add Jiang Li’s WeChat. She couldn’t help but pull out her phone in the changing room to see if Jiang Li had accepted her friend request.

She would be able to reunite with her comrade soon. She couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart at all.

“What are you looking at?” Xu Chuyue’s cold voice suddenly sounded behind Xia Jinuo.

Xia Jinuo was startled but maintained a normal expression. Holding her phone, she looked up and smiled, “I’m looking at the live comments. President Xu, it turns out you and I have a President too. The CP fans are so funny.”
