Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 40

Even after everyone was seated on the bus heading to Valley Amusement Park, and next to their respective dates, Wang Yixi was still full of resentment.

He had finally, with his excellence and effort, gained Jiang Li’s favor, but it was all ruined by the production team’s misguided planning.

Jiang Li preferred the window seat in the first row. Wang Yixi sat on the outer side, across a sixty-centimeter aisle, with the VJ and PD right next to him.

Although the rules were announced by Qiqi who was seated in the back, Wang Yixi knew that Qiqi was just a host, speaking on behalf of others, and might not even have as much authority as the PD.

At the strong request of the audience, the VJ focused the camera on Jiang Li’s exquisitely beautiful profile as she looked out the window. So, even during the boring journey, not many viewers chose to leave.

Wang Yixi leaned back against the seat, the empty space perfectly allowing the VJ to film.

Everything was going well, with viewers constantly fawning over Jiang Li’s looks in the bullet comments. But halfway through the bus ride, Wang Yixi suddenly sat upright, turned his head, and blocked the camera with his face, which was twisted with anger. The VJ, who had been staring at the lens, was startled and almost shook the camera out of his hand.

The audience was very displeased.

[Ahhh, don’t look at the ugly Alpha, tell him to move!]

[Give us back our beautiful Omega, ahhh!]

[Wang Yixi, do you know what you’re blocking? You’re blocking my goddess!]

[Wang Yixi, get lost!]

The PD, though not looking at the camera, had been monitoring the live bullet comments to observe audience reactions. Seeing the sudden surge of screaming and frantic comments, she immediately turned her head, coming face to face with Wang Yixi’s angry expression.

PD: “…”

Wang Yixi’s gaze contained complex emotions like grievance, irritation, struggle, and anger, which immediately stunned the PD.

He, however, remained silent. The PD wanted to cover her forehead with her hand, but she couldn’t. Everyone knew Wang Yixi had a bad temper, and her action might provoke him.

“Yixi, do you have something to tell me?” The PD smiled, asking as gently as possible.

Wang Yixi thought about how he should have been sitting alone with Jiang Li in a car, admiring the Omega’s beautiful features all the way. But now, he wasn’t in the mood to look at Jiang Li at all.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Jinuo, sitting behind Wang Yixi in the second row, heard the PD’s question, patted Wang Yixi’s shoulder, and said, “If you have an opinion, you can say it directly. Don’t disturb others’ rest.”

Wang Yixi’s body stiffened slightly, and the complex emotions in his eyes instantly vanished. The previously agitated audience members immediately forgot their agitation upon seeing this magical scene.

[Hahaha, who would’ve thought Wang Yixi’s nemesis was sitting right behind him? I wonder if he’ll dare to block my goddess Jiang Li again with Nuonuo there!]

[So cowardly it’s kind of shippable. XiJi CP, raise the flag!]

[Don’t break your teeth, upstairs, thank you. It’s obvious Nuonuo knew Jiang Li was resting her eyes and spoke up because she was worried Wang Yixi, that clumsy oaf, would disturb her. Those who can’t ship RuoJi RuoLi are in trouble!]

Wang Yixi leaned back against the seat, forcing a smile at Xia Jinuo, and said, “I have no objections. Today’s arrangements are especially good. I’ll shut up now and not disturb anyone.”

All his life, Wang Yixi had been arrogant, never this humble even with his parents. He would only rein himself in in front of his older sister—anyone who’s been disciplined by their older sister since childhood would develop a psychological shadow.

In front of Xia Jinuo, it felt similar to being in front of his Beta sister. He had a psychological shadow of Xia Jinuo not cooking for him.

Xia Jinuo’s single sentence diffused a potential argument. The PD smiled gratefully, and Xia Jinuo waved her hand with a smile.

For the latter half of the journey, Wang Yixi closed his eyes, silently digesting his frustration. After a section of mountain road, the bus finally brought the guests to Valley Amusement Park.

Valley Amusement Park was a famous 5A-rated tourist attraction in the city. Nestled by mountains and rivers, it boasted pleasant scenery and complete amusement facilities, making it a theme park with strong local characteristics.

After the guests got off the bus, everyone gathered around Jiang Li and Xia Jinuo with sparkling eyes. Wang Yixi and Luo Wei, as Jiang Li’s and Xia Jinuo’s dates, were almost squeezed away from them by the other Alphas.

Han Wutong and Luo Wei had a good relationship. She planned to remind Luo Wei when there were fewer people, lest he unknowingly offend that group of Alphas.

Qiqi handed out the admission tickets to the guests and smiled, “Today, the VJs will be closely following everyone. If any two guests separate from their date, there will be a penalty in the subsequent live broadcasts, so please pay attention to that. Other than that, there’s nothing else. Today’s time belongs exclusively to you and your date. Please enjoy your sweet outing~”

As Qiqi’s voice fell, none of the guests moved. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li, who were squeezed into the very center of the group.

Jiang Li paid no attention to the stares, turning to Wang Yixi and saying, “Wang… Yixi, didn’t you say you’d make a plan? Today, how we play and what we play, it’s all up to you, okay?”

Wang Yixi had been so engrossed in digesting his negative emotions on the bus that he was almost depressed. He had thought he wouldn’t have a chance to spend quality time alone with Jiang Li and develop their relationship, but unexpectedly, the Omega was very cooperative and actually wanted to follow his plan!

Unfortunately, as soon as Wang Yixi spoke, he was filled with embarrassment, “I think we can also listen to others’ opinions, like Ji Jinuo’s!” He was too angry to make any plans at all.

“Ji Jinuo, how do you two want to play today? Can Jiang Li and I refer to your plan?” Wang Yixi instinctively sought help from Xia Jinuo because whenever he had a problem in the past, Xia Jinuo was always the one who helped him out.

Xia Jinuo chuckled inwardly. Although this conversation was planned by her and Jiang Li in advance, Wang Yixi fell into the trap so smoothly.

Since someone asked, Xia Jinuo naturally didn’t hesitate to share her plan. She said, “We plan to first queue for the rollercoaster. This is Valley Amusement Park’s signature attraction, and the rollercoaster passes through the most beautiful scenery here. Then, we’ll go through all the other thrilling rides, like the drop tower, the pirate ship… Of course, the haunted house is also a must-do.” Xia Jinuo said this and smiled at Wang Yixi, who was incredibly flattered.

Xia Jinuo continued, “Oh, and Valley Amusement Park also has bungee jumping, which opens in the afternoon. When we’re tired, we can ride the carousel. Before we leave in the evening, we can take the Ferris wheel to enjoy the valley sunset.”

Xia Jinuo’s plan was heard not only by Wang Yixi but by all the other guests as well.

The Alphas’ arrogant nature didn’t allow them to curry favor with Omegas, and besides, their dates weren’t Jiang Li, so there was even less need to waste time planning for them.

“Ji Jinuo, can we follow your itinerary together?” Fang Ling asked.

Xia Jinuo nodded and smiled, “Of course, everyone can come along. The more people, the livelier it is, and the more fun we’ll have.”

Lu Chen and Xu Chuyue, standing on the outer edge, discussed, “President Xu, I think Ji Jinuo’s plan is excellent. Jiang Li and they will most likely go together, so why don’t we…”

“We are not going with them,” Xu Chuyue coldly refused.

From the moment she learned the date location was an amusement park, Xu Chuyue had been tense. Her acrophobia was innate. As a child, when she came to amusement parks with her parents, she could only ride the carousel. The high-altitude rides Xia Jinuo just mentioned were simply impossible for her.

Lu Chen was surprised, “Why?”

He thought he and Xu Chuyue had a basic understanding—to stick close to Jiang Li at the amusement park and absolutely not give her any opportunity to be alone with Wang Yixi. His recent question was just for show for the audience, but Jiang Li had unexpectedly refused him without hesitation.

Xu Chuyue’s expression was cold and sharp, “No why. I don’t like childish things. There’s nothing to play here.”

There is no Alpha in the world that isn’t arrogant (except for Xia Jinuo), Lu Chen’s face flushed with anger when he heard Xu Chuyue say this. This was a live broadcast, and even if Xu Chuyue invested in his family’s business, she shouldn’t disrespect him like this.

Normally it would be fine, but if he today easily listened to Xu Chuyue, he would be labeled as “useless” by the audience.

Given Lu Chen’s pride, he simply couldn’t tolerate such a thing.

His face taut, he squeezed out the words through gritted teeth: “Then let’s go our separate ways. You can go wherever you want, I’m following Jiang Li.”

Xu Chuyue refused again, “No. Qiqi just said there will be a penalty if teammates split up. You cannot leave my side.”

Lu Chen didn’t want to lose his composure on camera. His face was expressionless, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth: “Do you think I’m your subordinate? Unless you tie me up, don’t even think about me following you.”

Xu Chuyue’s sharp gaze fell on Lu Chen. Lu Chen directly turned his back to her, not engaging at all.

In the end, all guests except Xu Chuyue decided to stick with Xia Jinuo.

The VJ following Lu Chen and Xu Chuyue saw them separate, leaving Xu Chuyue alone watching the others walk away. Although a bit disappointed, he ultimately decided to stay and film Xu Chuyue. After all, there were four VJs over there, and surely one would accidentally get Lu Chen in frame.

If he didn’t follow Xu Chuyue, Xu Chuyue truly wouldn’t be filmed by anyone.

Everyone lined up for the rollercoaster. The Omegas were too self-conscious to be seen screaming with their mouths open on the ride by the Alphas. After confirming with Qiqi that it wouldn’t violate the rule of not separating from their date, the Omegas decided to sit in the row behind the Alphas.

Jiang Li had no such worries and directly sat in the very middle seat. To her left were Lu Chen, Xie Mu, and Xia Jinuo in order, and to her right were Wang Yixi and Du Qiuxin.

Luo Wei sat in the seat behind Xia Jinuo. Qiqi said it was fine as long as they were in the back row, regardless of whether they were next to each other, but Luo Wei still wanted to be closer to Xia Jinuo.

He sat behind Xia Jinuo, looking at Xia Jinuo’s hair, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

The more he interacted with Xia Jinuo, the more he felt her charm.

Xia Jinuo as an Alpha possessed all the wonderful virtues that other Alphas lacked, and her abilities surpassed other Alphas. Other Alphas even had to mooch off Xia Jinuo’s plans for their outings.

Just now, Luo Wei felt both shy and touched when he heard that Xia Jinuo had so earnestly prepared for their date. He even couldn’t help but wonder if Xia Jinuo had prepared so diligently because he was her date.

After Han Wutong separated from Du Qiuxin, she immediately sat next to Luo Wei. Seeing his expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly leaned in to Luo Wei’s ear, whispering, “You really need to control your heart, Luo Wei. Some people aren’t within reach for ordinary folks like us.”

Luo Wei looked at Han Wutong in confusion, “Xiao Tong, what are you talking about?”

Han Wutong was afraid the Alphas in front would hear, so she lowered her voice, “I’ll WeChat you. Take a look.”

With that, she took out her phone and rapidly typed a bunch of words, sending them to Luo Wei.

Luo Wei received and opened the message. After reading two lines, his body involuntarily stiffened.

After finishing reading everything, Luo Wei looked up, his eyes red, and asked Han Wutong, “Xiao Tong, is what you said true? Could it be a mistake?”

Han Wutong said seriously, “It’s impossible to be mistaken. If you don’t believe me, observe it yourself later. It’s not that I’m so meticulous; it’s that their gazes are not hidden at all.”

Luo Wei nodded heavily, “I will observe carefully. If it’s true…” He would have no choice but to give up on Xia Jinuo.

Luo Wei came from an average family, and his personality was timid and gentle. He never dared to argue with anyone, let alone compete with a group of Alphas for Xia Jinuo.

Even if he loved Xia Jinuo deeply at this moment, he would have to give her up for his family and his future. Moreover, he only had a vague fondness for Xia Jinuo right now.

Valley Amusement Park’s rollercoaster truly lived up to its reputation as a signature attraction. It was thrilling while also offering beautiful scenery, making it the perfect start to today’s date.

The guests all had GoPros attached to their foreheads, which the production team would release later for viewers to see through the guests’ perspectives.

As for Li Qin specifically omitting the GoPro footage of Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li during his review, that’s a story for later. This was because more than half of their footage wasn’t of scenery or thrilling sights, but of each other.

Even though there was no actual romantic tension between them, if released, it would surely alert the scumbag Alphas.

The VJs didn’t go on the rollercoaster. They waited below for the guests to finish one ride before the live broadcast continued.

The subsequent rides became increasingly thrilling. At noon, everyone had a meal at the scenic area, which was both expensive and unappetizing. When Wang Yixi complained loudly, someone finally agreed for the first time—even if the taste was mediocre, they could endure it, but this was truly unpalatable.

Xia Jinuo noticed that Jiang Li had only eaten a few bites and hadn’t touched her plate again. She smiled at everyone and said, “Cheer up, everyone, there are still many fun activities this afternoon.”

Wang Yixi, after complaining, painfully continued to force food into his mouth, mechanically chewing and swallowing. He didn’t want to eat, but he was hungry!

“Ugh—” But halfway through eating, Wang Yixi almost threw up.

Everyone else’s expressions also grew increasingly unpleasant. They were already used to Xia Jinuo’s cooking, and making them eat the food in front of them, was more unbearable than killing them.

Xia Jinuo chuckled, “Okay, okay, don’t be like that. Everyone smile. Tonight, when we return to the villa, I’ll personally cook delicious food for you to make up for it, how about that?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. Xia Jinuo saw Jiang Li curl her lips, and her own smile couldn’t help but widen. Actually, she mainly wanted to give her comrade a good meal; the others were just a cover.

“Don’t tell me the production team will order takeout for us again when we get back tonight,” Wang Yixi said warily.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to the PD.

The PD quickly said, “I’ll immediately relay your message to Director Li, the head of the production team.”

Knowing there would be a delicious meal tonight, everyone immediately put down their chopsticks. It was fine to be hungry for a bit now; it would leave more room for dinner.

Xia Jinuo was not as concerned about the taste of the food. Her current goal was to eat enough and well at every meal, as long as it was nutritious and helped her gain weight, she would eat it.

Lunchtime ended, and only Xia Jinuo finished her meal; everyone else left a large amount on their plates.

“Are we being a bit too wasteful?” Fang Ling said.

Lu Chen adjusted his glasses, “To be precise, it’s not us being wasteful, but the restaurant being wasteful. If they had made it tastier, there wouldn’t be so much left over. One shouldn’t transfer others’ mistakes onto oneself.”

They were eating in the lobby, and there were still people with cameras next to them. Although the boss prevented them from turning on the cameras in the store, it still attracted the attention of many tourists.

When Fang Ling and Lu Chen spoke, they didn’t lower their voices. Almost everyone in the lobby heard their conversation clearly, especially the boss, who stood at the front desk with a face as dark as smeared pot ash.

The waiter, seeing that they had finished eating, waited nearby to clear the table. Hearing their conversation, he couldn’t help but say, “This food won’t go to waste.”

Lu Chen thought of something, his expression slightly changing, “Does the boss make you eat leftovers?”

“No way.” Wang Yixi covered his mouth, wanting to vomit again.

The waiter quickly said, “It’s not for us to eat, it’s for the dogs. Our boss raises over a dozen Tibetan Mastiffs. They eat a lot. These leftovers aren’t even enough to get stuck in their teeth.”

Xie Mu sat across from Xia Jinuo. She clearly saw that when the waiter mentioned “dog,” Xie Mu’s eyes lit up. After hearing “Tibetan Mastiff,” that light became somewhat strange, and then finally dimmed.

Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li exchanged a secret glance, both feeling a little nauseous.

Xia Jinuo had read the novel, and could probably guess what Xie Mu was just thinking.

He hadn’t been in contact with animals for days and probably wanted to sexually assault them. Tibetan Mastiffs are fierce and can kill people. He likely carried special veterinary drugs to prevent the mastiffs from biting him. The light in his eyes eventually dimmed because there were too many people, and he wasn’t familiar with the environment, so he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be discovered.

Thankfully, Xie Mu would be filming for the next month, so he couldn’t continue his evil deeds. If they got evidence, Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li would definitely report Xie Mu. Harming animals was truly disgusting.

As everyone left the restaurant, they happened to encounter Xu Chuyue, who was about to have lunch. Xu Chuyue’s gaze first fell on Xia Jinuo’s face. Xia Jinuo smiled at her. Xu Chuyue’s eyes flickered, and she immediately looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li didn’t even glance at her.

Xu Chuyue was displeased by Jiang Li’s disregard. When she looked at Lu Chen, her gaze had completely turned cold, “Looks like you all had a great time. I just wonder if you’ll be as happy when you receive your punishment.”

Xu Chuyue finished speaking, walked around them, and entered the restaurant.

Wang Yixi gloated, “President Xu looks like she’s about to die of anger. Lu Chen, you’re finished.”

Lu Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond to Wang Yixi.

They had just finished eating and needed to digest, so everyone decided to first go check out the glass skywalk on the mountain.

On the way, Xia Jinuo casually asked, “Why did President Xu decide to go separately from you?”

Lu Chen frowned, “I don’t know. I asked her why, but she refused to say. She’s just too arrogant.”

An Alpha calling another Alpha too arrogant was quite amusing.

Xia Jinuo didn’t laugh, continuing, “All the activities we did this morning were high-altitude ones, quite thrilling. Maybe President Xu’s heart couldn’t handle it, wasn’t that the case with the diving last time?”

Xia Jinuo only hinted at this and didn’t go any further. The guests present were either Alphas or Omegas, a group with higher intelligence. Saying more would be too deliberate; she had to let them figure it out themselves.
