The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 21

The fans completely erupted.

The screen was filled with flying comments.

【Those two are secretly being affectionate under the table!】

【Why the secrecy? Is there anything fans can’t see?】

【Be bolder! We won’t mind even if you do it openly.】

【Hiss, hiss, those pale thighs! My brain is writing 20,000 words that would never pass censorship!】

【I can’t imagine what they are like in private with this sticky chemistry.】

【Seriously, don’t worry about the fans! You two should just get married right now!】

【Forbidden rendezvous!! Passionate scene! This… isn’t it inappropriate not to move to the bedroom right this second? Someone edit the footage and put my CP in bed! We can imagine the rest.】

Although the show recording continued, the entire atmosphere was uncontrollable. This one scene was enough to make the entire fandom pay their respects to the couple.

The affection between a genuine couple is impossible to hide, no matter how much they restrain themselves. The fans’ gazes were intense, wishing they could enter the set and lie under the table to watch the two.

The popularity soared abruptly. Even the sensitive questions asked by the production team earlier suddenly seemed irrelevant.

They were forgotten entirely. Concentrating on watching the couple’s intimate romance was the most important thing.

The host continued to ask Shen Tangxi personal questions about Yu Xingyu.

[Teacher Shen, please state your partner’s favorite hobby.]

A: Handicrafts, B: Painting, C: Design, D: Singing.

Shen Tangxi answered accurately: “It’s C, Design. Her favorite thing to do is jewelry design, and I really love her designs.”

Yu Xingyu looked at her Sister, her eyes shining. She thought that she must dedicate herself to the design industry and work hard on her own brand.

Her goal was to invite her Sister to be the spokesperson for her jewelry brand.

She had actually privately asked Sister Zhou, the agent, about this before. Her Sister’s brand endorsement fee was 30 million yuan a year. To invite her as a spokesperson, Yu Xingyu needed to earn that money through her own hard work first.

Yu Xingyu didn’t want to be the kind of Alpha who only knew how to squander money without ambition. She was determined to grow into a reliable partner who could shelter Shen Tangxi from the wind and rain.

[What is the rank of your partner’s pheromones?]

A. B-rank, B. A-rank, C. S-rank, D. F-rank.

Shen Tangxi shook her head at the question: “None of these options are correct.”

The host looked surprised and turned to the production team to confirm: “Is there an issue with the answer options?”

The production team was also somewhat surprised. They had previously checked Yu Xingyu’s pheromone registration information.

Yu Xingyu was only a standard A-rank Alpha. Her registration in school and society was A-rank, and so was her ID card.

So, the production team didn’t think the answer was incorrect and looked at Shen Tangxi, puzzled.

Shen Tangxi had already decided to disclose Yu Xingyu’s rank. The variety show was the perfect opportunity now.

If Yu Xingyu’s rank was announced, it would inevitably become the focus of public opinion, and more people would pay attention to her, adding a layer of protection to her safety.

After all, anonymous ordinary people are the most vulnerable, but celebrities and public figures gain influence, meaning their situation cannot be easily manipulated.

The comment section also had doubts.

When their relationship was exposed, Yu Xingyu was mocked for being an A-rank Alpha, which led to the belief that she was unworthy of the exceptionally high-ranked SSS-rank Shen Tangxi.

【Ah, what’s going on? If it’s not A-rank, what is it?】

【Is it possibly even lower than F-rank? That would be terrible.】

【I just started to like her. Please don’t let this be true. What’s happening?】

“Yu Xingyu’s original rank was A-rank, but she suddenly underwent a secondary differentiation and gained a very rare recessive trait. She is now a bona fide SSS-rank Alpha.”

Silence fell upon the room again at these words.

Everyone was completely shocked.

They never imagined such a change could happen.

The global probability of secondary differentiation is only one in ten thousand, and even when it occurs, it usually only results in a single-level increase at most. Such cases are extremely rare.

Yet, Yu Xingyu had ascended to SSS-rank, which was utterly astounding.

As the highest Alpha rank in this world, the global population of SSS-rank individuals does not exceed three thousand, making them extremely rare.

The news that Shen Tangxi suddenly announced Yu Xingyu had differentiated into an SSS-rank Alpha was truly shocking, and the audience looked at Yu Xingyu with envy.

She was truly Heaven’s Chosen Daughter, the luckiest person in the world. Even if her background was ordinary, possessing a top-tier genetic rank completely changed everything. She had become an admired and envied existence overnight.

No one would ever say Yu Xingyu was unworthy of Shen Tangxi again, nor would they look down on her because of her background.

SSS rank was far rarer than imagined.

【Is this true?】

【I can’t believe it at all. It’s too unbelievable.】

【How can Yu Xingyu be so lucky? First, being noticed by XiXi, and now even differentiating into an SSS-rank Alpha!】

【Wuwuwu, damn it, she’s so cute. I want to marry her.】

【XiXi really has good taste. I knew she wouldn’t be wrong about people. It turns out we were the ones who were short-sighted.】

Fans now seriously felt that Shen Tangxi truly had great judgment, and Yu Xingyu was 100% the right partner for her. No one else could truly match her.

After all, Shen Tangxi was also a rare SSS-rank Omega. Top-ranked individuals are rare, and finding a suitable and compatible Alpha of the right age was incredibly difficult.

Moreover, other SSS-ranks usually seek to mate down because many wealthy elites want to improve their genetics and look to them for marriage alliances.

Shen Tangxi had been targeted before, as was Song Hanyue’s intention, but the Shen family had a strong background, and the attempts failed.

The host was too stunned to speak, regaining her voice only after a long moment.

Because the second question was flawed—the production team hadn’t fully checked the facts—the answer was discarded, and Shen Tangxi was deemed to have completed the round.

She continued her work with the final question.

[Teacher Shen, what do you think is the special characteristic of your partner?]

A: Possesses top-tier pheromones, B: Possesses artistic talent, C: Athletic talent, D: Very intelligent.

This question had its options changed temporarily.

The production team had just learned about Yu Xingyu’s unique pheromone registration, so the last question was almost a freebie.

Shen Tangxi naturally noticed this.

She smiled slightly, glanced at Yu Xingyu next to her: “I choose A, but her special characteristic is not just having top-tier pheromones, but having a recessive trait. You might not know what a recessive trait is. It’s a very special gene that only SSS-rank A/O humans possess. Yu Xingyu’s most unique trait is that her recessive characteristic transforms her pheromones into a rose vine. I believe everyone will be very shocked.”

Silence turned into another clamor at this revelation.

The fans in front of the screen were utterly shocked, unable to close their mouths. They never expected this extra surprise.

This recessive trait, only seen in textbooks, was possessed by very few people globally. Historical records and textbooks documented that recessive traits could allow people to turn their pheromones into angel wings or other organisms, like a tail or scales.

The fact that Yu Xingyu could transform hers into a vine was massive news.

The directing team was stunned.

Their first thought was that if Yu Xingyu could demonstrate her vine on the show, the ratings would surely hit a new high.

However, this matter needed to be negotiated, and the guest’s consent was required.

So, they signaled the host to quickly proceed to the ice cream segment. Today’s recording hastily concluded amid the frenzied popularity surge online.

They believed today’s content had generated enough buzz. If they continued, their backend servers might be crashed by the fans.

••••

Zhou Sisi rushed over the moment the broadcast ended.

It took the full-scale protection of over twenty bodyguards to squeeze Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi out of the central crowd of hundreds of screaming, frantic fans.

If the SSS-rank news hadn’t been revealed, the frenzy might not have been this intense.

After all, Alphas don’t emit a scent when they are not in rut, so ordinary people wouldn’t smell it or know her rank.

But today, everything was exposed, especially on a highly popular live reality show. The news instantly flew onto the trending topics.

#YuXingyuSSSrank#

#YuXingyuRecessiveTrait#

#ShenTangxiYuXingyuThighs#

#ShenTangxiYuXingyuKiss#

The top trending topics were entirely dominated by Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu. They occupied all the prime golden spots on the front page.

It was virtually impossible for other celebrities to trend. Even the old feud where Bai Weiwei was called out for stealing the lead role, which Bai Weiwei’s fans had intended to use to push Yu Xingyu down, failed completely. They found that no one paid attention to them. No matter what topic they posted, it gained no traction and was difficult to trend.

Furthermore, the exposure of Yu Xingyu’s secret today gained her over 500,000 fans in a single day. The incident also brought up the details of Bai Weiwei’s alleged ‘hidden rules’ (under-the-table dealings) from back then.

Many people sided with Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi. Bai Weiwei’s reputation soured, and she lost all moral standing. The public sentiment was completely one-sided, demanding she apologize to Shen Tangxi.

Eventually, Bai Weiwei was scolded so badly she didn’t dare to post on Weibo.

Zhou Sisi, looking exhausted, sighed to Shen Tangxi: “My dear young lady, you are incredible. Why did you announce something so important without consulting me? Do you know my heart almost stopped when you said that on the show? It’s terrifying! Do you know what SSS-rank means?”

Yu Xingyu’s body is now comparable to a sacred figure.

“…”

Shen Tangxi offered an awkward smile: “I didn’t think much of it. The host just happened to ask. I had already planned to go public with it, and since the opportunity arose, I didn’t want to hide it anymore.”

Zhou Sisi had only found out about Yu Xingyu being an SSS-rank Alpha later and was secretly happy about their relationship.

After all, many celebrity relationships fail under public scrutiny. She wouldn’t have resorted to this desperate measure if it weren’t for the need for an emergency PR fix.

Yu Xingyu’s subsequent performance hadn’t disappointed. Zhou Sisi was slowly beginning to genuinely accept her.

“Sigh. No point talking about it now. It’s public. But we should capitalize on the buzz. Before, apart from the orange juice endorsement, many commercial brands approached us for promotions. But those promotions were often popularity traps, so I didn’t accept them. Now, many companies are being cunning and won’t directly offer endorsements, and many of the direct endorsements available compete with Shen Tangxi’s current resources. But now that the SSS-rank news is out, those commercial brands that contacted me before are swarming like flies to honey. They immediately changed their tune and want to sign you two for a dual endorsement. One skincare brand is offering around 50 million yuan for the two of you for a year. I think this brand is very good. I wanted to discuss it with you. If you have no issues, we can seriously consider it.”

Yu Xingyu was surprised to hear this, and the number 50 million yuan seemed overly coincidental.

The marriage agreement she signed with her Sister was also 50 million yuan annually. Could this be fate?

Shen Tangxi also found the figure very interesting.

It’s 50 million.

She felt a wave of emotion.

But it was also expected.

Now that Yu Xingyu had commercial value, her future prospects were limitless.

The fee this company offered for a dual endorsement was very high. Most A-list celebrities don’t command that price.

Shen Tangxi nodded: “Not bad. Let’s take it. We’ll transfer a portion of the endorsement fee to Xingyu’s card.”

Yu Xingyu shook her head: “Sister, you keep it for me. I don’t need it. Besides, what’s mine is yours. You really don’t have to give it to me.”

“No, this is your endorsement fee. We have to account for it clearly.”

“Then consider it my dowry for Sister?”

“…”

Shen Tangxi’s face instantly flushed red.

She gave her a look without saying anything.

Zhou Sisi gave a sly smile.

“Hehe, XiXi didn’t object! So, it’s settled. Get ready to film the commercial. I heard this skincare brand recently launched a 3D jelly sunscreen. It’s highly likely the new commercial will have you two promoting this. You two need to take good care of your faces so you can film the commercial in the most perfect condition.”

“We understand.”

After seeing off Zhou Sisi.

Shen Tangxi booked full-body and facial beauty treatments for both herself and Yu Xingyu. She could get skin rejuvenation management here.

Two days later, they signed the endorsement contract with the skincare brand.

The two were informed that they would be filming a commercial for the jelly sunscreen product the next day.

The location for this shoot was an outdoor beach setting.

The requirement for the couple was to wear beautiful, exquisite bikini swimsuits.

The commercial script required Yu Xingyu to apply the sunscreen to Shen Tangxi’s body.

Yu Xingyu was very willing to take on this job.

I’m so happy! Who knew filming commercials could be this fun?

Shen Tangxi entered the changing room to put on her bikini swimsuit. As soon as she opened the door, she found the slim, slender figure of Yu Xingyu following her in.

Yu Xingyu wrapped her arms around her Sister’s waist and whined: “Sister, can I change into my bikini with you?”

Shen Tangxi was embarrassed: “No, wait outside.”

Yu Xingyu pleaded again: “No, Sister. Let’s practice once in the changing room. Otherwise, we’ll be too nervous during the actual shoot.”

“…”

Where did she get the idea that she’s nervous?

Shen Tangxi had no choice. To avoid delaying the shoot, she allowed Yu Xingyu to come in.

Although they were very intimate, they had never changed clothes together, and she still felt a bit shy.

Yu Xingyu didn’t bother undressing herself but expertly began unbuttoning Shen Tangxi’s top.

She looked admiringly at the graceful, voluptuous waist before her and couldn’t help but whisper seductively in Shen Tangxi’s ear:

“Sister, your waist is so thin. I want to touch it.”
