The Live-in Alpha Only Wants to Be a Quiet Salted Fish - Chapter 29

“Can I not do it, or can we try a different way of waking her?” Lin Mu looked at the camera expectantly. The answer was two shakes of the camera.

No!

No! I want to see yesterday’s sequel!!

They’re a legitimate AO couple now, be bold, kiss her!

Is it this exciting right from the start? I’m in love!

Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Mu looked troubled holding the task card. But in an instant, she seemed to think of something and relaxed.

“Okay, it’s just a good morning kiss.” It didn’t say it had to be her kissing!

Lin Mu’s gaze fell upon… the kitchen?

Inside the bedroom, the curtains were drawn, making the light dim. Lin Mu opened the door a crack, confirmed everything was fine, then opened the door fully for the camera to follow.

Yesterday, Su Mo had agreed to follow the production team’s arrangements. She had been hoping this person would wake up on her own, but who knew she’d sleep so soundly.

If that’s the case, then she couldn’t be blamed!

Lin Mu approached with her hands behind her back. Hearing the footsteps by her ear, Su Mo’s eyes trembled, and even her breathing became erratic.

Yes, she did it on purpose. Even that task card was something she asked the director to prepare, all to test the silly Alpha’s reaction.

Would the silly Alpha actually kiss her?

In Su Mo’s apprehension, an object gently touched her cheek. She curved her lips, her eyelids trembling.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, she suddenly realized the touch felt wrong.

Why was it a bit hard, and a bit pointy??

She suddenly opened her eyes to see a yellow object aimed at her face.

“Goo-goo…” A chicken-like shriek, piercing her eardrums.

“Time to wake up!”

A yellow body, wide eyes, and a small red beak—it was the popular toy of the moment: the screaming chicken!

And only after that did Lin Mu’s fawning, praise-seeking face appear.

Su Mo felt a mouthful of frustration stuck in her throat, utterly bewildered.

Oh my god, this is hilarious! The goddess’s expression is frozen!

What happened to the promised romantic and warm good morning kiss? Why did it turn into a screaming chicken prank? I’m dying of laughter.

Lin must have been sent by the production team to stir things up, she’s too good! Hahahaha!

Shouldn’t normal AO couples just kiss directly? Why bother with a screaming chicken as an extra step?

Yeah, yeah, I always feel like their relationship is weird, they’re being too cautious.

The two were unaware of the online discussions. Anyway, Su Mo began her daily routine.

The first thing she did every morning was to hit the silly Alpha to vent her frustration.

So, netizens witnessed a spiritual display of snake-like movements and a “dog king” running around the bed, ultimately ending with the Omega huffily throwing down a pillow.

With more practice, the silly Alpha’s dodging skills improved, becoming increasingly slippery.

“Hurry up and clean things up, you’re annoying!” Su Mo glared at her, knowing she couldn’t do anything about her, and shuffled into the bathroom in her slippers.

“Alrighty!” Lin Mu took the order, not taking it seriously, and started tidying the bed with a playful grin.

Putting down the weapon meant a truce, and it also meant Su Mo had finished venting her anger.

To be honest, she almost used the crucian carp from the fridge just now. Luckily, she remembered about Ah Ji at the last minute, otherwise, this morning might not have ended so easily.

Lin Mu began making the bed skillfully. That posture finally let netizens understand where the sense of déjà vu from earlier came from.

Has Lin worked in a hotel? Her technique is amazing!

I can testify, this technique would definitely earn her a gold medal in our hotel’s housekeeping department!

I never thought this would be the daily opening. I’m starting to suspect those pillows and bedsheets are battle-damaged now.

Pillows are possible, but bedsheets can’t get wet by themselves (smirks)

After tidying up, Lin Mu yawned and headed to the bathroom. She still hadn’t washed up.

After the “battle,” there was a rare harmonious scene: the AO couple stood side by side, brushing their teeth together. Their couple pajamas and toothbrushes finally made the audience feel like they were watching a normal couple.

Lin Mu was as quick as ever, after all, she had to rush to make breakfast.

“Wait a minute…”

Su Mo looked at the blob in her hand, annoyed, she had squeezed out too much again.

Lin Mu understood, and instinctively held out her hand.

Neither said another word. The excess facial cream was transferred to Lin Mu’s palm. Lin Mu rubbed it on her face and then walked towards the kitchen.

Neither of them thought much of it, accustomed to the routine. However, the audience seeing this, felt a desire to discuss.

This must be what an old married couple is like, understanding each other’s thoughts without words.

Indeed, they have a lot of chemistry.

Is it because they’re an old married couple that they can’t kiss? Like me now, just looking at my partner annoys me, let alone a good morning kiss, the thought just makes me cringe.

Aren’t they a newlywed AO couple? That can’t be right.

Newlyweds are newlyweds, who knows how long they’ve been together before? Anyway, their current state doesn’t look like a couple in passionate love, but more like an old married couple whose affection has turned into familial love.

As soon as these words appeared, they garnered much agreement.

The relationship between this AO couple was full of mysteries. Previously, rumors of cheating and fake marriage were rampant. After the truth finally came out, the “public humiliation scene” garnered significant attention from netizens. Now that the live broadcast had started, many people joined the CP army, shipping them intensely.

Even Aunt Liang at the mansion was having a blast watching with the younger generation.

Next, since there wasn’t much to film of Su Mo doing her skincare, the camera followed Lin Mu into the kitchen.

It was only a little past eight, and being a holiday, most people were either not yet awake or too lazy to eat breakfast.

Thus, a large number of viewers became victims.

Smooth and chewy noodles gradually took shape in Lin Mu’s hands. She boiled water, fried scallions in hot oil, then added seasoning and mixed everything. A freshly made bowl of scallion oil noodles was placed on the dining table.

The camera almost plunged into the pot. The backend staff shamelessly added a food filter, making the comments section howl with hunger.

Why are you showing me this first thing in the morning!

Scallion oil noodles ordered, thank you.

I used to envy the Alpha for marrying a goddess. Now I’m jealous of the goddess for… eating noodles! My child is crying from hunger!

Correction to the person above, she married into the family, she didn’t ‘marry’ her. It’s rare to find an Alpha who’s willing to do housework and cook for an Omega. No wonder the goddess chose her! She’s truly virtuous!

Unbeknownst to them, the comments shifted from food discussion to the standards of Alphas, with various complaints about Alpha chauvinism. Then, inexplicably, a trend of “virtuous Alphas” emerged.

However, neither of the two knew what would happen next. Since there were no cameras in the bedroom and kitchen, a follow-cam was arranged. Now that both were in the dining room, the follow-cam was no longer needed.

The irrelevant staff retreated. Even though cameras were still densely packed around them, it made the two feel much more relaxed.

Su Mo sat down, looking at the overflowing noodles, and nervously squeezed her lower abdomen.

“Why is it always carbs? Can’t you make something else?!”

Her tone was full of playful complaint. It had been like this for several days now; either porridge or noodles in the morning. She felt like she’d gained several pounds.

Why do I suddenly feel like the goddess is being a bit ‘fussy’?! If you don’t eat it, I will!

How is that fussy? This is clearly her being spoiled, happy troubles!

“Or, I could make you a salad?” Lin Mu glanced at her, quietly pulling the bowl of noodles back.

She couldn’t understand these female celebrities. Carbs were so filling! So many varieties and so delicious. They just had to eat grass for their figure.

Seeing her pull it away, Su Mo instinctively grabbed the other side, a stalemate.

“Never mind. Since it’s already made, let’s not waste it.” She said righteously.

Though it might make her gain weight, she had to admit, Lin Mu’s cooking tasted pretty good. Compared to the chef at home, it had a more homely flavor.

Look at her body’s honesty.

I just said that, why’d you take it seriously?

“This little bit, I can eat it all by myself…” How could it be wasted?

“Shut up, go get a bowl!” Su Mo’s face felt hot. She cut her off and huffily pulled the bowl back.

Dying of laughter, Goddess Su, don’t I have any dignity?!

Exactly, say it’s a waste just because you said so. The tsundere goddess is so cute.

Lin Mu didn’t dare to retort anymore. She had seen Su Mo’s unpredictable moods many times. She obediently went to get a bowl, looking like a wronged little wife.

This Alpha is too useless, she doesn’t even dare to talk back when the Omega tells her off.

A sudden surge of dissenting voices appeared amidst the harmonious comments.

Exactly, what kind of Alpha is this? She’s a disgrace to Alphas.

After all, she married into the family. An Alpha with no capabilities, only knowing how to do housework and cook to please the Omega. It’s truly laughable.

The harmonious sentiment was swayed, with numerous comments echoing the sentiment. It was clear that paid commentators were at work. Normal viewers tried to refute, but were quickly suppressed. Seeing so many people discussing it, they couldn’t help but feel some doubt themselves.

No matter how harmonious the scene, it couldn’t overcome the inherent disadvantage of being a “live-in Alpha.” In the public eye, marrying into the family was often equated with being a kept man.

Even if the two were sweet, the “live-in” label attached to Lin Mu meant that unless she had enough strength to counter the doubts, she would always be looked down upon.

The director, seeing the chaotic comments, frantically scratched his ears and cheeks.

It was going so well at first, why are there suddenly so many paid commentators? Who exactly is trying to ruin his show?!

An urgent message was sent to Su Mo’s phone.

Director: Does Lin Mu have any notable achievements?! Someone online is stirring up trouble, quickly make her show something!

Su Mo wiped her mouth, picked up her phone, her expression immediately becoming serious.

Notable achievements??

Even Su Mo, who had seen this person’s resume, thought for a long time but couldn’t think of anything Lin Mu had that was worth mentioning. Would a diploma from a prestigious university count, the kind where you’re unemployed right after graduation…

The situation was urgent, no time to dwell. Su Mo simply asked, “Silly Alpha, the director said netizens are curious about you. They asked if you… have any notable achievements?”

“Achievements?”

As an author, she enjoyed playing with words. Achievements, success, referring to brilliant accomplishments in one’s career.

So Lin Mu nodded readily. “Of course I do!”

She put down her chopsticks and, to Su Mo’s surprised gaze, proudly gave herself a thumbs up.

“I type really fast! 5,000 words per hour!”

She had been number one in several word-pitting software competitions! Wasn’t that a brilliant accomplishment?!

The comments section was silent for a moment, then furiously retaliated.

What kind of achievement is that? Even a clerk here can do that.

Dying of laughter, typing is considered an achievement now? Looks like she really has no real skills.

The director’s face turned ashen, and Su Mo covered her face in shame.

In the awkwardness, Lin Mu rubbed her nose, a bit embarrassed, and added,

“Just kidding, actually, I’m also an author…”
