Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 37

How could Xie Mu admit he implied Wang Yixi wet his pants? With Qiqi and the other guests urging him, Wang Yixi wasn’t in the mood to ask Xia Jinuo about making dinner. He angrily found an empty seat and sat down.

The bus started, and Qiqi, wiping sweat, sat back in her seat, feeling completely exhausted.

“Here, Qiqi.” A hand stretched out beside her, offering Qiqi a packet of tissues.

Qiqi looked up and saw Xia Jinuo, quickly thanking her. Xia Jinuo said, “Thank me for what? You’re the one who worked hard.”

Despite being just the host, she was running around inside and outside the bus, doing everything. When guests had conflicts, she had to intervene. Xia Jinuo felt tired just thinking about Qiqi’s burden.

Qiqi was touched, “Wuwu, Ji Jinuo, you’re so nice. It’s truly wonderful to have someone understand.”

By the time the bus brought them back to the villa, it was already past seven.

Qiqi returned the favor. To thank Xia Jinuo for the tissues, she discussed with Li Qin on the bus that the guests wouldn’t have to cook dinner tonight. The production team would order takeout.

Li Qin also felt it was a bit much to make Xia Jinuo cook three meals a day herself, and the production team had just saved a large sum of money at lunchtime. So, Li Qin waved his hand, and the guests, stepping off the bus, smelled the aroma of food as soon as they entered the villa lobby.

“Dinner’s already ready? Who made it?” Han Wutong asked curiously.

Qiqi announced with a smile, “The production team was worried everyone would be hungry, so we ordered takeout in advance! The staff just opened the boxes for everyone. You can wash your hands and sit down to eat. Isn’t that a surprise?”

Others weren’t as obsessed with food; they could endure one or two meals without Xia Jinuo’s cooking. Wang Yixi, however, couldn’t. He exploded when he heard this, “Why isn’t Ji Jinuo making dinner? We’re not hungry; we’re willing to wait as long as it takes!”

Xu Chuyue frowned, looking at Wang Yixi. “Enough. Does Ji Jinuo deserve to starve while cooking for everyone? Wang Yixi, don’t forget Ji Jinuo is a guest, just like you, not your family’s chef.”

“Exactly. It’s so late now, everyone’s tired after a day’s work, and Ji Jinuo isn’t relaxed either. Why are you only thinking of exploiting her?”

“Why are we back so late? Don’t you have any idea? If you hadn’t been fifteen minutes late getting on the bus, we wouldn’t have been stuck in rush hour traffic for over an hour. You have dinner ready as soon as you get back, and you’re still not satisfied? The production team made a mistake taking care of you. You might as well just quit filming!”

••••

A barrage of accusations left Wang Yixi stunned. He didn’t know if he had offended too many people, or if Xia Jinuo simply had too much charisma, but not a single person understood him.

After speaking, everyone ignored him and lined up to wash their hands, preparing to eat dinner.

[Wang Yixi is a bit pitiful, actually.]

[(Rolls eyes) Is he not pitiful if Nuonuo cooks for him? Please, grow a brain!]

[Sure enough, fans follow their idols. Those who like Wang Yixi don’t have much brain. They have all day to pity their ‘Brother Yixi,’ why don’t they pity themselves instead?]

[First time seeing an Alpha giant baby. What an eye-opener.]

[Wang Yixi, just quit filming, really (smile). Our ‘Sweet Battlefield’ is too small to accommodate such a big Buddha.]

Xia Jinuo wasn’t in a hurry. After everyone else went to line up, she patted the stunned Wang Yixi’s shoulder. “Get some sleep, and you’ll have my breakfast tomorrow morning.”

Wang Yixi immediately forgot his anger, revived on the spot, and asked, “What time tomorrow morning? Is six o’clock okay? If you can’t get up, I’ll knock on your door and wake you!”

Xia Jinuo regretted her loose tongue. She had just given a habitual comfort, but ended up digging a pit for herself.

“I’ll get up at seven. If you knock on my door at six tomorrow to wake me up, I won’t be able to open my eyes because I didn’t get enough sleep, and I won’t be able to cook all day tomorrow.” Xia Jinuo didn’t stand on ceremony with Wang Yixi. Her voice was still gentle, but her tone had a hint of Xu Chuyue’s command, “Do you know what to do?”

It turned out that this way of speaking was very suitable for Wang Yixi. Their communication finally bypassed the “idiot” barrier. Wang Yixi not only wasn’t angry but was grateful because Xia Jinuo was willing to tell him what dishes she would make tomorrow.

Xia Jinuo, who had finally found a way to interact with Wang Yixi, thought, So Wang Yixi has a bit of a masochistic tendency.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Xia Jinuo changed into her pajamas, lay on the bed, and called her agent, Liu Yan.

They had only been apart for two or three days. Receiving Xia Jinuo’s call suddenly, Liu Yan thought something had happened to her. “Is someone secretly bullying you? When the cameras aren’t on, you don’t have to be so nice. They’re all Alphas, who’s afraid of whom? At worst, we’ll fight!”

“…” Xia Jinuo said, exasperated yet amused, “I’m fine. I haven’t offended anyone, so who would bully me?”

Liu Yan relaxed. Xia Jinuo then stated her request, “I need to talk to Director Li, but it’s not good to get too close to him in front of others. Can you help me get Director Li’s WeChat?”

Liu Yan didn’t ask further, saying, “Sure, I’ll ask Director Li for you. You’ve been performing very well on the dating variety show these past two days. The show’s ratings owe a lot to you. Don’t worry, Director Li definitely won’t refuse.”

Xia Jinuo waited for two or three minutes and then received a message from Liu Yan: a WeChat contact card, with a “Li” as the profile picture, and the WeChat name “Muzijinyi” (meaning ‘wood, child, today, clothing’, likely a phonetic play on Li Qin’s name).

Xia Jinuo: Liu Yan, thank you! You’ve helped me so much!

Liu Yan: No need to be polite with me! But Director Li seems to already know you want to add his WeChat.

Xia Jinuo immediately thought of Jiang Li, who had refused to help her directly, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Jiang Li’s personality was truly a bit cute. She refused so decisively, yet still helped her, and didn’t even ask for credit afterward.

Xia Jinuo sent a friend request to Li Qin, which was accepted quickly. Before she could send a message, Li Qin sent one first.

Li Qin: Jiang Li said you wanted to talk to me about something?

He was indeed direct.

But such people were easier to work with.

Xia Jinuo: There are a few things I’d like to discuss with Director Li.

Xia Jinuo: Director Li, was the swimming pool jumping segment today your idea?

At this moment, Jiang Li was standing beside Li Qin. Li Qin frowned when he saw Xia Jinuo’s message and turned to Jiang Li: “Why is she asking this question? Has she discovered something?”

The swimming pool jumping environment was proposed by Jiang Li, and he approved it without hesitation, even if it would increase the production team’s expenses.

Jiang Li said, “Ask her why she’s asking.”

Li Qin asked.

Xia Jinuo: I’m just a little curious, because this activity is very difficult for people with acrophobia. Did Director Li conduct a survey among the guests beforehand? How did you miss me? (Shy smile.jpg)

“Why is she clinging to this?” Li Qin frowned. “Does she also know Xu Chuyue has acrophobia and is now standing up for her? And how does she know?”

Li Qin had been Jiang Li’s good friend in both lives. In the previous life, Li Qin was implicated by Jiang Li. After the dating variety show ended, he was suppressed by the five scumbag Alphas. For several years afterward, he achieved nothing, lived unhappily, and died of depression.

After being reborn, they were still good friends, but Jiang Li hadn’t told Li Qin about her rebirth. She only said that she would send these five deserving scumbag Alphas to prison, and Li Qin unhesitatingly provided her with help.

Jiang Li was very grateful to Li Qin, but she often felt a sense of loneliness. In this life, only she remembered everything from her previous life. The resentment in her heart had no one to tell, and those memories tormented her night after night.

Until now, Jiang Li suddenly realized that she might have found someone like her.
