The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 22.2
After finishing the commercial shoot and returning to the changing room, Yu Xingyu couldn’t control her fierce desire any longer. She excitedly embraced Shen Tangxi. The soft, slender body was feather-light.
She gently lifted her Sister’s hips, allowing her to sit and cling to her. Shen Tangxi’s pale, long legs found support and wrapped around the Alpha’s waist.
Shen Tangxi took a deep breath. Her heart continued to race. They were in the narrow changing room in this suggestive position, close enough to clearly hear each other’s heavy breathing.
Sitting on the little puppy, she felt that her long, slender body was surprisingly strong, securely holding her.
She was firmly wrapped and controlled by the Alpha’s body. This position was far too embarrassing.
The usually conservative Shen Tangxi felt shame. She could only bury her head in Yu Xingyu’s neck and shoulder to conceal her already flushed face.
“Xingyu, let’s go back. This is too embarrassing here.”
“I apologize, Sister. You are simply too charming. I couldn’t control myself. I just want to kiss you.”
Yu Xingyu’s husky voice was also struggling to suppress her desire. She had already restrained herself during the commercial filming to avoid being overly obvious.
She mainly didn’t want her Sister’s beautiful looks to be too exposed. Once the commercial was over, they would have time alone.
Shen Tangxi leaned in and kissed her. A gentle touch landed on Yu Xingyu’s cheek.
Her Alpha is always so impatient.
That evening, after returning to the villa from the filming location.
Yu Xingyu urgently pulled Shen Tangxi into her room. She hadn’t been able to satisfy herself on the set today.
Furthermore, being intimate with her Sister outdoors was inconvenient. The only time they had alone was in that tiny changing room.
She really wanted to do more intimate things with her Omega, but because the location was inappropriate, she couldn’t tolerate the frustration.
But now that they were home, they could be affectionate with their loved one freely.
Yu Xingyu’s pheromones, which she had been suppressing to the point of explosion, could finally release the vine, which tightly wrapped around Shen Tangxi’s waist.
The vine’s characteristics changed with her physical condition. During the drugging incident, the vine seemed violent, but now that she was full of energy, the vine was flexible and mischievous. It first hooked the buttons on her Sister’s clothes, taking them off one by one. The vine was long and slender, moving delicately into places a normal body couldn’t reach.
It could perform movements a normal body couldn’t, allowing for uniquely intense stimulation.
This time, she suddenly had a wonderful inspiration and asked Shen Tangxi:
“Sister, do you want to try a more stimulating feeling? I can now use my vine with flexible control. Do you want to try the intimate feeling of being held in the air, with your body off the ground?!”
Shen Tangxi’s face flushed again. She truly hadn’t expected Yu Xingyu’s idea to be so shameless.
It’s one thing that she can’t stop being horny every day, but now she’s actively suggesting such an intense method.
The chain lingerie from last time was still vivid in her memory. Yu Xingyu was as inspired in her private life as she was in her design talent. Why does she always come up with these strange ideas?
“How can you even think of such an embarrassing way? It’s too improper, and it must be very dangerous. We are already intimate enough in our regular moments. Simple intimacy is best.”
“It’s not dangerous! Even though we are often intimate, I still desperately desire Sister. And there’s nothing wrong with it! We are a real couple, not some other kind of relationship. Simple happiness is good, but I also want to be closer to Sister and make her happier! To make Sister feel unparalleled joy while we are intimate! Why don’t we try a little bit first, okay? If you’re uncomfortable, we’ll stop immediately. But what if it’s incredibly fun? Wouldn’t it be a shame to miss out on something so enjoyable?”
As Yu Xingyu spoke, she looked at Shen Tangxi with innocent, pure eyes, her expression genuinely suggesting she was thinking of her Sister’s best interests.
It gave one the distinct feeling that missing out would indeed be a pity.
Shen Tangxi truly felt that Yu Xingyu was pretending to be reluctant when she clearly wanted it badly. It was so frustrating.
“You have to promise me that nothing will go wrong.”
Hearing this, the puppy’s eyes instantly lit up: “Is that true, Sister? You promised me!”
Shen Tangxi’s shy assent was barely audible next to her: “Mm.”
“That’s wonderful!”
Yu Xingyu excitedly used the vine to immediately bind Shen Tangxi’s body at various points. The goal wasn’t to restrain her, but to ensure safety when her body was suspended in the air.
Vines wrapped around her shoulders, waist, legs, wrists, and feet. These sexy and lovely parts of her body were tightly covered by the long, green shoots.
The most important part was her chest, inspired by the bikini she wore today.
Yu Xingyu manipulated the vine to instantly form the pattern of a bikini swimsuit across Shen Tangxi’s chest. The vine wrapped around it, tightening and intertwining.
Shen Tangxi finally understood Yu Xingyu’s true intention. This naughty dog has a fetish like this! It was completely overwhelming.
She realized she had fallen into her trap. This bad dog is too bold. I don’t know what kind of nonsense fills her head all day. It’s too much to handle.
Yu Xingyu looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, smiling naughtily at her Sister and saying:
“Sister, you look so beautiful right now.”
Shen Tangxi: “Xingyu, you are asking for a beating! Put me down immediately.”
Yu Xingyu shook her head: “Sister, you promised to try this stimulating feeling with me. Don’t worry, Sister, I promise I will make you happy.”
With that, she brought her whole self close to Shen Tangxi’s soft body. The branches and leaves of the little rose vine eagerly reached toward the person they loved most.
The vines entwined between their bodies were like nimble, playful green spirits, dancing under the influence of their intense, loving pheromones, constantly shifting form, flexibly twining and enacting the rhythm and beauty of their merging love.
They sweated profusely, working intensely. They surged like a great beast, crashing against the shores of desire, letting out muffled, lonely murmurs, splashing up countless drops of fragrant roses and cold, aloof white tea scent.
The two embraced blissfully, intimately entangled, unwilling to separate.
The room was filled with intimacy.
She didn’t know how much time had passed. Outside, the sky was already bright.
Clothes and skirts were scattered all over the floor. Yu Xingyu intimately held Shen Tangxi, savoring the gentle sweetness of the person beside her, unwilling to wake up.
She only felt a complete sense of happiness when she held Shen Tangxi.
Possessing her Sister meant possessing the entire world.
Her Sister had shown her kindness and patronage and was also her lover.
Her Sister might not even realize that she was the only partner and family she had in this world.
Yu Xingyu was isolated and had to endure hardship after transmigrating to this world. Shen Tangxi’s choice was like a light in the darkness, holding a profound significance for her.
That’s why she loved her Sister so deeply, considering her the one and only beloved.
The first step in her plan to become strong was to establish her own business and fortune, gradually becoming a partner who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her Sister.
Her studio was already arranged. She had also hired some artisan jewelers. Currently, the shop had hundreds of the “Xingyu” bracelets she designed. Although it wasn’t as fast as mass production, she insisted on handmade items because these crafted jewels possessed a unique soul.
Only this could convey the designer’s heart. If mass-produced by machines, the pieces would lose their meaning.
Yu Xingyu chose a date to announce the opening of her brand store, accepting purchases and custom orders. This was the first step of her entrepreneurial journey, just the beginning, and she believed the future would be better and better.
Shen Tangxi knew Yu Xingyu was opening a shop and fully approved. She would support this aspiration one hundred percent.
Moreover, since the news of the SSS-rank broke, her parents had called to inquire about Yu Xingyu, and their attitude seemed to have softened.
It was clearly due to the Alpha rank. They seemed less opposed now.
Humans are often this pragmatic. Yu Xingyu was now on equal footing with her own SSS-rank. There were few SSS-rank Alphas in the world. Even if her background was poor, the rank compensated for it, and family background no longer mattered much. Her parents naturally ceased their opposition.
Shen Tangxi thought that they only needed an opportunity to bring Yu Xingyu home and let her parents see how wrong they had been.
If Yu Xingyu hadn’t been SSS-rank, her character was still exceptional. She wasn’t with her because of her rank.
When she pulled her into the room, it was purely based on a first sight attraction. She hadn’t thought about anything else then. She felt a strong affinity, Yu Xingyu’s face was beautiful, and she desperately needed an antidote. Everything happened naturally.
The facts later proved that Yu Xingyu could withstand the test. She wasn’t the gold-digger her mother claimed. She had her own ambitions, choosing to start her own business and realize her life’s value immediately after receiving the 50 million yuan.
That was why Shen Tangxi admired her, not because she changed her attitude after seeing her high rank, as others did.
Society was just that realistic.
She couldn’t change how others thought of Yu Xingyu, but she could guarantee that in her heart, Yu Xingyu was the best Alpha.
••••
After the news broke that Yu Xingyu was an SSS-rank Alpha, the entire internet went wild. It was no longer just entertainment gossip but made it to the main social news topics.
Yu Xingyu was a final-year, ungraduated student. Although she had fewer classes this year and had been working part-time, her information was always registered as A-rank at the school.
Now that her rank was changed, the information on her national ID card needed to be re-registered.
She went to the relevant government office for a re-test. The result was indeed SSS-rank. Luckily, she was escorted by dozens of bodyguards. Otherwise, she would have been swarmed and overwhelmed by the pre-staked reporters and frantic fans.
After the SSS-rank was officially verified and registered by the relevant authorities, Yu Xingyu was completely famous.
Many fangirls eagerly surged forward to get close to her.
【Little Yu, you’re so cute! I want to kiss you.】
【Wuwu, Little Yu, be my wife!】
【Xingyu Wife, Xingyu Baby, don’t leave! Sister loves you so much!】
【Little Sister Xingyu, Daughter Xingyu, wuwu, Mommy loves you so much!】
The scene was filled with frantic cries and screams from fans pouring their affection onto Yu Xingyu.
Yu Xingyu didn’t just have CP fans from the show; she now had her own genuine, individual fans.
This was all due to the sudden announcement of her rank. SSS-rank at the world’s apex was inherently an exciting point, enough to incite fervor and adoration in ordinary people.
She managed to exit the government building with great difficulty, safely getting into the car. Otherwise, she would have been surrounded and had her clothes torn off.
Once inside the car, Shen Tangxi was waiting for her.
Yu Xingyu looked at the fans outside the window still banging on the car, saying fearfully, “I never expected the fans to be so enthusiastic.”
Shen Tangxi sounded slightly jealous: “You’re truly famous now. I heard many fans calling you ‘Wife’.”
“No, those are just jokes from the fans. They don’t count as real. No matter what I become now, I will always be Sister’s Baby. I will always be Sister’s lover. Sister is my official wife; no one else counts.”
Yu Xingyu finished speaking, tightly embracing Shen Tangxi, and coaxed her softly.
However, being able to make her Sister jealous was secretly delightful.
Shen Tangxi was pleased to hear Yu Xingyu’s sweet words. The little puppy only knew how to say nice things. After listening, she felt sweet, as if she had eaten honey.
Song Hanyue’s Next Plan
Meanwhile, Song Hanyue fell gravely ill after seeing the news that Yu Xingyu was certified as an SSS-rank Alpha. She herself was only S-rank and had initially looked down on A-rank Yu Xingyu.
Her family was stronger, her education was better, and her looks and ability were superior to Yu Xingyu’s in every way, yet she couldn’t believe she had sacrificed her plan to this nobody, Yu Xingyu.
She had originally looked down upon this ‘ant.’ In essence, she believed that even if Yu Xingyu managed to cling to Shen Tangxi, she was just a kept man, a low-class figure who couldn’t be brought out in public.
But now, learning that the opponent was an SSS-rank Alpha was a devastating blow.
The issue of rank was an unbridgeable chasm. She couldn’t become SSS-rank even if she died, unless she found an SSS-rank Alpha to undergo a gland transplantation surgery without rejection, only then would there be a chance to upgrade.
Song Hanyue gnashed her teeth in fury. She wished she could grab Yu Xingyu right now, torture her, and transplant her gland into herself. If she did that, would she even need a marriage alliance with the Shen family?
Plenty of wealthy families would marry their daughters to her. If Shen Tangxi didn’t want her, others would. That was the charm of rank.
Gender rank, like social class, defined a very closed world.
One could acquire status, wealth, and connections, but changing one’s gender rank was virtually impossible.
Therefore, Yu Xingyu was truly a once-in-a-lifetime miracle—a blessing from her ancestors.
Song Hanyue now genuinely resented Yu Xingyu. However, the Song family’s situation was dire. Her father had frozen her accounts, leaving her with little money in hand.
It was difficult to execute any major plans.
However, her current goal was simply to make Yu Xingyu suffer. As long as Yu Xingyu was unhappy, Song Hanyue would be happy.
She couldn’t do anything big, but causing her trouble was still an option.
Song Hanyue investigated and found that Yu Xingyu’s studio was about to open its jewelry shop.
She originally wanted to hire people to smash her shop, but the cost of hiring people and destroying the evidence so it couldn’t be traced back to her was too high. She simply didn’t have the funds now.
The previous drugging incident was already full of flaws and nearly got her caught, so she couldn’t be reckless this time.
There were other ways to make Yu Xingyu miserable.
Song Hanyue planned to hire scalpers to resell her jewelry. She believed that Yu Xingyu was currently popular, and many fans would support her by buying the jewelry. She would inflate the prices, making fans unable to buy them, forcing them to pay high prices and blame Yu Xingyu online.
She could also produce counterfeit versions of the products. She would use whatever malicious method necessary to torment her.
••••
On the other side, Yu Xingyu was preparing for the shop opening. The opening had been announced online, and many news outlets were covering her jewelry brand. She received free promotions, and the effect was good, with many fans and netizens expressing support and promising to buy.
She chose a propitious weekend day for the grand opening of the “Starry Sky Jewelry” brand store. Since the shop wasn’t just an online store, she hadn’t created a promotional website, and the prices were kept secret until the opening.
Before the opening, she expected good business, but she never imagined it would be this good.
Many people lined up frantically to buy. Some said they would buy dozens of bracelets.
When Yu Xingyu announced the prices.
The customers were shocked.
The bracelets in her shop were priced between $5,999$ and $12,999$ yuan, which was nearly the same price as international luxury brand bracelets.
The customers in line hesitated, but only for a moment. Although the fervor for buying subsided, they became significantly calmer.
Most purchased only one or two pieces. Even the scalpers in line were flustered. The prices were too high. Their boss had told them to buy dozens, but they didn’t have that much money on hand.
It was hard to say if a bracelet costing hundreds of thousands would even sell to fans. Even if it did, the price was already high enough, so how could they possibly resell it at an even higher price?
The scalpers finally gritted their teeth and bought ten pieces, feeling this resale was a huge gamble. It was questionable whether any fans would buy them at a second-hand price.
Yu Xingyu set the prices high because she believed they were worth the money. Art is priceless. If she sold them for a few hundred yuan each, the manual labor fee wouldn’t even be covered.
Furthermore, selling them cheaply would make buyers perceive them as cheap accessories, and they wouldn’t cherish them.
She wanted more people to recognize the value of her designs, so the price absolutely couldn’t be low.
Moreover, the high price would make customers think clearly, preventing impulse buying due to fan frenzy, which would lead to regret later. The items came with a seven-day no-questions-asked return policy.
Yu Xingyu hoped customers would think clearly before purchasing and not place orders due to external factors.
Sure enough, this dampened some of the buying enthusiasm. The previously crowded shop immediately emptied out somewhat due to the pricing.
However, some people still purchased over a dozen pieces.
Yu Xingyu decided to implement purchase limits. Since handmade production couldn’t keep up with demand, and she feared scalpers, she refused to let that happen.
On the second day of opening, she implemented exclusive VIP Jewelry Cards. Buying a bracelet required the use of this card’s credit value.
Each person could only apply for a card with their ID. The card had anti-counterfeiting features and was limited to one transaction per week, with a maximum of three items per transaction.
This meant that if a customer purchased an item this week, they could only buy jewelry again after seven days, and the cardholder had to make the purchase in person. No one else was allowed.
With such strict management, scalpers could not succeed in reselling the items.
At the same time, many voices online claimed Yu Xingyu’s jewelry prices were too high.
Many people believed her bracelets weren’t worth the price, and her brand hadn’t reached that level yet.
Yu Xingyu naturally ignored this. If people liked her jewelry, they would buy it. If not, she wouldn’t force them. Artwork is only bought by those who recognize its value.
Everything in the universe is inherently without price. The high price of materials and objects is only because they are acknowledged by people, making them immensely valuable.
She would only seek out people who recognized her designs.
Following the continuous management measures.
The few hundred bracelets Yu Xingyu designed were sold out in less than a week.
The shop ran out of stock.
It became difficult to purchase her jewelry.
The scalpers couldn’t buy large quantities of the bracelets, so they didn’t make much money and failed to effectively target Yu Xingyu.
When this news reached Song Hanyue, her face turned ugly with anger again.
I can’t believe Yu Xingyu is so difficult to deal with!
It made her incredibly furious.
In this case, she decided she would also start a jewelry business to counter Yu Xingyu. She would copy Yu Xingyu’s designs, buy her jewelry, counterfeit it, and sell it for only a few hundred yuan a piece. She would see how Yu Xingyu would respond.
••••
Yu Xingyu recently finished making a new pair of couple rings. Unlike the previous diamond rings, this one was not made of diamonds but was a band designed with a rare blue gemstone and opal accents.
The name of this ring was “Only.”
Its special feature was that it was inlaid with magnets.
This meant that when the lovers wore the rings, if they put their hands together, the magnetic attraction would make their hands stick intimately.
When Yu Xingyu finished the ring, she couldn’t wait to show Shen Tangxi.
This was her most satisfying and perfect creation, and she wanted to share it with her loved one.
When Shen Tangxi returned.
Yu Xingyu took out the ring and, with an expectant look, put it on her middle finger.
She put the matching ring on her own middle finger.
She was instantly too excited to speak.
She hugged Shen Tangxi and burst into tears.
“Sister, Sister, we are the Only ones. We are each other’s only!”
Shen Tangxi gently stroked her head, not understanding why she was crying, but comforting her.
“What’s wrong, Baby? The ring is very beautiful.”
Yu Xingyu cried tears of joy. She reached out and magnetically joined the two rings together.
Shen Tangxi was surprised to see the two rings magically stick together, with a very strong attraction that made them difficult to separate.
Yu Xingyu took out other magnetic rings, but they showed no reaction to the joined rings.
“Look, Sister. This is our Only. These two rings only recognize each other. It only works because it’s you and me. How much this ring resembles our love!”
Shen Tangxi also understood now, genuinely discovering this unique feature. She wondered how Yu Xingyu had designed the ring so that only this one pair could stick together, just like two lovers who recognize only each other as their one and only. No one else would do.
She sighed admiringly: “Baby, you are truly a genius.”
Yu Xingyu passionately leaned in for a kiss, leaving a lingering and profound deep kiss.
Shen Tangxi’s face flushed deep red with shyness.
••••
Soon after, market counterfeit items appeared, targeting the “Xingyu” bracelets, which were the main product of the shop.
These bracelets were roughly made by machines. The internal patterns and carved lines could not compare to the genuine products, but the only advantage was that they were very cheap.
Machine-made items already have low costs, and with the current complete industrial supply chain, the price was incredibly low. Selling these bracelets for a few hundred yuan each was considered expensive, indicating a huge profit margin.
Worse, these unknown merchants began to slander Yu Xingyu’s genuine bracelets, claiming she was a greedy exploiter.
The public also started saying that the original bracelets were not worth thousands of yuan, and if one had money, they might as well buy the knock-offs.
Suddenly, Yu Xingyu’s popular business cooled down. Except for the occasional support from fans, business was very poor.
She sighed, knowing that business wasn’t easy to run, but those who belittled her designs and plagiarized them were unforgivable.
Yu Xingyu planned to sue them for plagiarism. Shen Tangxi was also angry when she found out and offered to help her investigate and collect evidence.
But the damage was done.
Her intellectual property had been stolen.
These people didn’t acknowledge their wrongdoing. Even if the court ruled in her favor, the fine would only be a slap on the wrist.
Yu Xingyu hated these people and decided to counterattack using her own methods. She wouldn’t let them off easily. Since these people used public opinion to attack her, she would immerse them in the same spiral of public condemnation.
Having experienced the drugging incident.
She would not remain passive this time.
Shen Tangxi initially wanted to use her influence to help Yu Xingyu solve the problem, but Yu Xingyu refused.
After listening to her idea.
Shen Tangxi was surprised.
Because the little puppy seemed to have learned how to set a trap for others.
••••
Soon, it was time for the recording of the next episode of Heartbeat Love Song.
This recording involved an outdoor location.
The task card content was:
The guests must experience an outdoor trip with their loved ones, choosing their own location.
Other guests chose hiking and river trekking, while some chose beach vacations.
Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi chose horse riding on the grassland for a day and a night, experiencing wilderness life.
They needed to prepare a tent, food, an electric stove, outdoor cooking utensils, and riding attire.
During the day, a riding instructor would teach them horse riding. They could freely run across the grassland and experience nature.
Yu Xingyu knew how to ride a horse from her past life. Her current body did not know how, so she took a quick lesson from the instructor.
The instructor praised her intelligence, and she quickly picked it up.
“Riding Instructor, after I learn, can I ride one horse with Sister? This is my wish. Can you fulfill it?”
“Then I will choose a gentle horse for you. You must remember the riding knowledge I taught you. Be careful and stay safe.”
The riding instructor supervised them.
Yu Xingyu had quickly grasped the basics. If she hadn’t claimed she’d never ridden before, the instructor would have thought she was an experienced rider. She truly was a riding genius.
Shen Tangxi hadn’t learned to ride a horse before. Her entertainment career was too busy, and her hobbies weren’t that wide-ranging. Horse riding, unless specifically learned, required a period of dedicated practice.
Fortunately, she was also very smart and didn’t find it too difficult.
So, under the instructor’s supervision.
The couple got onto one horse together.
Yu Xingyu sat behind Shen Tangxi, tightly holding her waist. Her gentle breath fanned her face.
Their posture on the horse was very intimate. Shen Tangxi was nervous and didn’t dare to move, causing Yu Xingyu to hold her even tighter. Furthermore, the little puppy’s hand was restless behind her, moving up and down her waist, being very bold.
The horse riding time passed unknowingly.
In the evening, the production crew had the guests set up tents, cook outdoors, and prepare a delicious wilderness meal.
The staff also prepared alcoholic beverages, celebrating and drinking with the riding instructors.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
As the two main celebrity guests on the dating show, they naturally became the target of teasing and being pressured into drinking.
Yu Xingyu stood in front of Shen Tangxi, drinking every glass of alcohol offered to her Sister.
After a few glasses of red wine, her face was completely flushed red.
She looked like a cooked shrimp. The skin extending down her neck was scalding hot, and she muttered to herself.
“Sister, I’ll drink it for you. My alcohol tolerance is pretty good.”
Shen Tangxi saw she was already drunk, sighed, and told everyone: “I’ll take her back to the tent first.”
She then helped Yu Xingyu walk back to the tent, intending to lay her down and cover her with a blanket.
But an unexpected event occurred, startling the staff outside.
A loud wailing cry came from inside the tent.
Yu Xingyu was hugging the beautiful Sister next to her and started to sob loudly.
Because this was a variety show, the cameras inside the tent were still on. A small red light flashed continuously.
The fans in the comment section went wild.
【Why is Yu Bao crying? Mommy feels so bad for you.】
【Don’t cry! What is going on?】
Yu Xingyu cried, tears mixing with saliva, kissing Shen Tangxi’s face.
She made constant, loud smacking sounds.
“Sister, please comfort me! I love you so much, Sister! I only have you, wuwuwu.”
“Why did those people bully me? Those people are so bad! They stole my design work, wuwuwu! They are truly big bad guys! Only Sister treats me well! Baby is so hurt and sad. Sister, please comfort me!”
In her crying fit, the little puppy’s hand didn’t forget to lightly touch the soft ‘peaches’ on her Sister’s chest.
Shen Tangxi: “…”
Shen Tangxi: I don’t know if you’re truly upset, but you are truly a naughty dog.
