The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 11

Shen Tangxi felt the icy touch on her fingertip, and something seemed to have stirred her heart.

The slight annoyance she felt gradually dissipated, and her expression softened.

She said awkwardly:

“When did you prepare this?”

The gemstone ring was made of pure silver. The style was very unique, with a brilliantly cut heart-shaped gem in the center. The inside of the band was engraved with a delicate pattern of butterfly totems interwoven with rose vines.

It was evident that this was a purely handmade gemstone ring. Just the carving of the patterns and text inside would have taken considerable time, requiring a massive investment of effort to complete.

When she realized something, her pretty face flushed again.

The butterfly totem was the tattoo on her back, and the rose vine represented Yu Xingyu’s pheromones. The detail was truly meticulous. She had no idea how Yu Xingyu managed to think of putting both elements onto the ring.

She knew most of the reputable jewelry brands. This piece did not look like the custom jewelry style of any of those brands.

Shen Tangxi suddenly recalled that in the month before going on the show, Yu Xingyu spent a long time every night hammering and shaping things in her studio, being very mysterious and not letting her know anything. Could she have been making this?

Yu Xingyu blinked her thick eyelashes. Her misty eyes looked even more innocent and pure: “Sister, I made this myself. I prepared it before we went on the show, and I think only a diamond ring handmade by me has meaning and is more sincere.”

She used to be a poor student with no money. Even now that she had received money from her Sister, she couldn’t squander it extravagantly.

Her biggest ambition was to do jewelry design, and her first thought was to design jewelry for her Sister.

A diamond ring was naturally the first consideration. Unlike other jewelry, it represented love, the witness of their beginning, and their eternal promise to each other.

After selecting the gems and diamonds, Yu Xingyu started designing the ring. She was personally involved in the selection of materials, design, and final production, dedicating much effort to the carving and polishing. She truly poured her heart into making this pair of rings.

As expected, Shen Tangxi was even more touched. This ring was infused with so much of the puppy’s emotion. She truly loved it.

She raised her slender finger and commented seriously: “Not bad.”

Yu Xingyu smiled happily at her words, then took out the matching ring like she was presenting a treasure, flashing a look of pride.

“Sister, this is actually a pair of rings. Let’s wear them together, okay? They really match.”

Shen Tangxi rolled her eyes at her. Is she really that excited?

She sighed, but seeing the puppy so enthusiastic about wearing a matching ring with her, she couldn’t bear to scold her.

She gently cautioned: “You still need to be a little more reserved on the show. Because our current reviews on the program aren’t great, we need to be low-key so we don’t provoke the fans.”

Yu Xingyu nodded innocently. Will kissing her Sister really provoke the fans?

In that case, maybe I can’t kiss Sister on the show anymore.

She felt a moment of deep regret.

Zhou Sisi rushed into the resting room holding a tablet.

She said with great surprise on her face: “Tangxi, Xingyu, your reputation has completely reversed! There are now fans shipping your CP online. They’ve even opened a super-topic for you and think you performed very well on the show. They really want to see your intimate interactions! I have to say, accepting this dating show announcement was completely the right move. It’s really helping to restore your public image.”

Shen Tangxi never expected the audience to actually enjoy her interactions with Yu Xingyu.

She had thought that given the thousands of online insults before, people wouldn’t enjoy watching the two of them. Now, the result was the opposite.

This was completely unexpected.

Zhou Sisi gave a satisfied suggestion: “You should interact more on the show! You’re not fake lovers; remember, you’re a real couple, and you’ve publicly married in. What are you shy about? Now is the time to seize the opportunity and be passionately intimate! You can interact however you want, as long as the footage can be broadcast on the show.”

“…”

Shen Tangxi had just told Yu Xingyu to be more reserved on the show, and now this happened.

Yu Xingyu’s deer eyes instantly lit up, and she said excitedly:

“Sister Zhou, you really are the best Sister!”

“…”

Shen Tangxi quickly corrected: “But you can’t be too reckless. If it’s too much, the audience will have objections.”

Zhou Sisi shook her head. She casually clicked on a fiercely enthusiastic fan comment in the super-topic:

【AAAh! I really want to climb under XiXi and Yu Xingyu’s bed and watch the live stream!】

【AAAAh! You’re right, I was there! I am the bed they sweated heavily on!】

“…”

Shen Tangxi was speechless. She truly wanted to ask what the fans were thinking.

Not suitable for minors!!

The following day, before the variety show recording.

The production crew suddenly contacted Zhou Sisi, saying that one of the show’s sponsors, a beverage brand, needed to film a commercial.

Usually, they select two couples with high popularity on the show to film promotional material. It’s not an endorsement, just a simple promotion, and the payment is calculated along with the variety show contract fee.

After two days of live streaming, Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi were the most popular guests on Heartbeat Love Song. Their related likes had exceeded two hundred thousand.

The second most popular couple was Qi Qingxu and Wen Chuyi. Their interactions on the show also contained a lot of ‘sugar,’ attracting many fans.

However, since they were childhood sweethearts, all their sweet moments came from knowing each other too well. It was very sweet but lacked excitement.

They were like a cup of pure sweet fruit juice—very likable, but human nature prefers a challenge.

The couple with more stimulating interactions was more favored, although their like count was only two-thirds of Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi’s.

Yu Xingyu was surprised that she and her Sister had become the most popular couple on the show. Before she replaced Song Hanyue, they were meant to be the control group. Was the difference after removing the pervert that significant?

She was grateful that her appearance had changed the entire plot.

This feeling was much better.

The next day, the crew quickly arrived at the agreed-upon location to film the promotional video.

Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi met Qi Qingxu and Wen Chuyi there.

Both couples greeted each other, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

In fact, Wen Chuyi’s eyes lit up when she saw Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi together. She had followed their CP super-topic and would check it when she wasn’t working.

She genuinely hadn’t expected their interactions to be so sweet. She even wanted to ship them herself! Now that she could see them live, she wished she had a radar in her head. She really wanted to watch their sweet romance unfold.

The scene for Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu’s commercial was simple: Shen Tangxi wakes up in the bedroom feeling thirsty, and Yu Xingyu hands her a bottle of orange juice beverage. That was the entire commercial plot.

The video footage for this shoot would be recorded from Yu Xingyu’s perspective.

This was a common filming technique for the show, where the guest would wear recording equipment.

Therefore, the microphone and video would capture the guest’s breathing and film from the perspective of the person wearing the equipment, giving the audience a unique immersive experience.

After Yu Xingyu put on the microphone equipment, the filming of the commercial began.

In the frame, the staff all held their breath.

The cold, soft Omega was lying beside her. She wore a light, ethereal white slip dress, which made her look beautiful and gentle. The lines of her pure white back were exquisite, and her aura was exceptionally elegant.

The Alpha’s breathing became heavy at the sight of such beauty. From her perspective, this was a precious moment. She wanted to record this instant forever and be with her loved one for eternity.

Shen Tangxi’s smooth, soft chestnut curls were spread out behind her. Her exquisite, snowy skin was visible. The skin below her ear was delicate like white jade, and a small, brightly colored red mole came into view, making her look even sexier and more alluring.

The Alpha’s breath sprayed onto her hair, causing the delicate skin to instantly turn pink.

A husky voice spoke ambiguously, her fingertip gently teasing Shen Tangxi’s skin as she delivered the commercial line:

“Babe, do you want to drink my orange juice?”
