After Agreeing to a Reality Show with My Omega Ex-Girlfriend (GL) - Chapter 5
Just how affectionate should they be?
As if seeing through Qi Song’s thoughts, Yu Luo said, “First, you certainly can’t call me Miss Yu on the show.”
That’s true.
Qi Song asked alertly, “Then what do you want me to call you?”
Yu Luo lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting faint shadows beneath them.
She was silent for a moment, then her voice was as light as a sigh: “Just call me what you used to call me.”
Qi Song: “……”
Oh no, what was “what you used to call me”? She didn’t have the original owner’s pre-breakup memories!
She remained calm on the surface, but in her mind, she had searched through all of the original owner’s memories from the past two years, unable to find an answer.
Facing the danger of exposing that she wasn’t the original owner, Qi Song hardened her heart and made a decision, saying profoundly:
“I’ve seen affectionate wives on TV; they call each other ‘wife’.”
Yu Luo looked up, a hint of surprise in her expression.
Qi Song quickly averted her gaze, as if escaping, then heard the woman’s clear voice beside her, laced with a smile, “Okay, wife.”
Qi Song: “……”
Yu Luo gazed at her profile, waited patiently for a moment, then tilted her head slightly and asked, “Why aren’t you calling me?”
Setting an address isn’t like exchanging rings, does it need so much back and forth?
Qi Song thought this, then instinctively looked back at Yu Luo.
The Omega’s eyes were as dark as ink, and now they held an uncontrollable anticipation, even nervousness, bright and pure like a child longing for a much-desired gift.
Pure.
Qi Song’s heart jolted. How could she think that a scumbag who had cheated had such a quality?
She suppressed the conflicting feelings in her heart and didn’t fulfill Yu Luo’s wish, instead saying, “I’ll cooperate on the show.”
“On the show?”
Yu Luo shook her head at her: “The director of the reality show will bring the contract for you to sign later; this is our first collaboration—don’t let her think we’re not close.”
“So, Qi Song.” Yu Luo’s face became serious, “The pre-show simulation starts now. You’ll perform well, right?”
Qi Song pursed her lips, looking at her.
“Mm.” She had signed the agreement, and this was only reasonable.
To what extent should she perform? Qi Song was still pondering when Yu Luo rose from the sofa and walked in front of her.
She extended her uninjured hand: “The director will be here soon; let’s go put on some makeup.”
Yu Luo’s voice was very soft, just like when Qi Song was sweating from a headache in front of the police yesterday, and Yu Luo said, “Don’t be afraid, relax.”
Qi Song looked at that slender, fair hand, hesitating slightly.
A few seconds later, she took her hand and stood up with her.
The touch was excessively soft, with a slight coolness. The coolness subtly permeated her body, connecting with a tremor that even the body’s owner could barely detect.
That hand wasn’t idle in hers; it moved nimbly and firmly intertwined their fingers.
Qi Song’s eyebrows furrowed, and her hand subconsciously struggled. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the Omega lean in close, resting her boneless body against her shoulder, a faint fragrance wafting over.
The woman looked up slightly at Qi Song’s indifferent profile, her breath caressing Qi Song’s earlobe as she spoke, causing a burning tickle:
“Don’t tell me you were already in character just now.”
Qi Song’s heart skipped a beat, and the struggling movement of her hand also abruptly stopped.
This sentence was utterly provocative—
It meant: “Your standard of acting ‘affectionate’ wouldn’t be so bad that you can’t even stand intertwining fingers, would it?”
Qi Song knew that indeed, it shouldn’t be. Due to Yu Luo’s betrayal, her favorable impression of this woman was too low, so struggling was an instinct.
But mixing reality with performance and being affected by the resulting emotions was unprofessional.
After a moment of silence, the Omega released her intertwined hand and then raised it, her soft, white fingertips lightly caressing Qi Song’s hair ends, moving upwards along the strands.
Slowly, accompanied by their breaths, which were a little too close.
“Prove to me that you’re worth this hundred million… okay?”
Yu Luo was an excellent actress, so she knew how to draw people into character.
At the same time, she was also a smart collaborator, so she knew how to provoke.
In the woman’s tempting sigh, Qi Song’s sense of performance gradually fell into place, and her furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
She lowered her head slightly, and that hand finally caressed the top of her head.
It was as if she was being tamed.
Qi Song sighed softly in her heart, finally letting go of all personal feelings and completely immersing herself in this act.
She was a few centimeters taller than Yu Luo, so the act of bending her head to let the other person caress her hair appeared exceptionally docile.
Yu Luo stroked twice then withdrew her hand, naturally letting it fall along Qi Song’s arm. As it subtly touched Qi Song’s hand, it was firmly grasped in return.
She raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
Qi Song had never been in a romantic relationship, but her acting was professional.
Since she had prepared herself mentally, it was impossible for Yu Luo to take all the initiative.
A smile appeared on her radiant face, and when her deep eyes focused on someone, they held a profound affection, as if she had loved them for eight lifetimes: “Aren’t we going to do makeup? We’re running out of time…”
“Wife.”
She softly uttered those two words, and without waiting for Yu Luo’s response, she led her towards the room.
Yu Luo followed behind her, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, her eyes like water.
This act, after all, would likely have someone getting too deeply into character.
••••
Xu Ran, the reality show director, arrived punctually.
This parent-child reality show had enormous investment, and the artists invited were each more talked about than the last.
There was the top-tier idol Alpha who had recently revealed she was married with a child, causing fans to weep and curse, turning her from a sudden sensation to an infamous one; there was the popular A-list Omega who married a top wealthy matriarch and had a daughter, being mocked by the entire internet for “rising through her daughter”; there was the newly crowned film emperor Alpha who had recently won an award and whose “family man” persona had been hyped for five years.
And then there was Yu Luo, the movie queen who stood at the pinnacle of domestic entertainment, whose national popularity was unrivaled. Although she had been practically retired for the past two years, her “face still ruled the entertainment industry,” and her loyal fan base was astonishing.
The production team’s ambition for buzz was evident.
At this moment, Xu Ran saw the usually scandal-free, seemingly unapproachable “high-and-mighty flower” smiling with overflowing tenderness at Qi Song.
And Qi Song, too, was looking down slightly, lips curved, raising a hand to delicately tuck a strand of hair behind Yu Luo’s ear.
They couldn’t look more in love.
Xu Ran finished discussing the contract with Qi Song, and they signed it.
Anyone who had been in the industry for a while knew Qi Song, and they all lamented the fall of this once brilliant star.
At this moment, Xu Ran did not see any gloom or silence on this former Best Actress, despite being severely toyed with by fate, and couldn’t help but feel admiration.
However, since Teacher Yu and she were such a sweet couple, why didn’t she help her?
Xu Ran suppressed her intense curiosity and, before leaving, reminded them: “A reminder to both teachers, tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM, the production team will send a car to pick you up for the airport. Filming will begin as soon as you get in the car.”
Yu Luo nodded at her with a smile: “Thank you, we understand.”
Xu Ran was slightly stunned by that smile.
The sense of cool dignity in Yu Luo’s demeanor was innate, integrated into every gesture. Even when smiling, it was hard to hide her aloofness.
But when she was with Qi Song, that feeling seemed to disappear completely.
Only the tenderness of melting snow remained.
Xu Ran could already imagine the shock of Yu Luo’s fans when they watched the reality show.
The buzz was within reach, and Xu Ran happily bid goodbye to the couple.
After seeing Xu Ran off, Yu Luo turned around and saw Qi Song’s no longer smiling face, and paused.
She knew Qi Song had broken character. And so, the smile on her lips also faded.
“Are you satisfied?” Qi Song lightly raised an eyebrow at her, “With that performance just now?”
Yu Luo gazed at her, not speaking.
After a moment, she parted her lips, her tone indiscernible: “Satisfied, but there’s still room for improvement.”
Qi Song felt she had performed affectionately enough, with no flaws. She asked, a little unconvinced, “Such as?”
Yu Luo didn’t answer, only slowly walked towards her.
In Qi Song’s questioning gaze, she drew closer and closer. Then she stood on her tiptoes.
Qi Song felt a faint fragrance waft over, and her cheek instantly softened with warmth.
“You!”
Yu Luo gazed at Qi Song’s visibly reddening earlobes, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.
She composed herself, crossing her arms: “You see, this innocence a three-year-old’s mother shouldn’t possess.”
“Filming starts tomorrow afternoon.” She considerately offered advice: “I think you need urgent training in this area.”
Author’s Note:
I see some little darlings’ questions, but I can’t spoil it. However, I guarantee that both protagonists are absolutely 1V1 in mind and body (I understand everyone’s demand for emotional purity, because I have it too). Many of the descriptive details right now are foreshadowing; everyone will understand later—
