Milk Orange Omega Becomes Popular Through Dating Variety Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 7
Pei Yi said “choose well”???
Hearing that “choose well,” Zhong Lin’s first reaction was confusion, but she carefully recalled the plot of that female A and male O novel.
The next step was to record the solo interview, and then… it seemed to be the “first heart-flutter pick”?
And Pei Yi told her to choose well?
Zhong Lin’s lips twitched. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer her… By the time Zhong Lin reacted and forced another smile as radiant as the morning sun onto her face, looking up at Pei Yi,
There was no one there.
She turned around, and Pei Yi’s figure was already disappearing down the corridor.
Zhong Lin let out a breath. No fear, no fear. She was the best Bai Ze cub _(:з)∠)_
“Knock, knock, knock—” Zhong Lin knocked on the door, then entered the solo interview room.
The director introduced the rules as usual.
Zhong Lin listened carefully to the director’s words, nodding slightly, indicating that she understood.
“Has the recording started?” Zhong Lin tilted her head slightly, asking in confusion.
The director gave an “OK” gesture.
Zhong Lin faced the camera, her lips curving upwards, revealing neat white teeth beneath her pink lips, and shallow dimples in her cheeks:
“Hello everyone, I’m Zhong Lin. I’m super happy to be on *Thirty-One Days of Heart-Fluttering Challenge*~”
“I hope to achieve my wish in this program.”
Then came another minute of silence.
The silence made today’s director particularly annoyed. What was this? Both of them? “Achieve my wish”? Would you mind elaborating on what your wish is? (⊙_⊙)
The director lightly coughed, raising a hand to interrupt the recording: “Briefly describe the type that makes your heart flutter?”
“What kind of person do you like the most?” The director began to patiently guide her.
Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. She was still just a Bai Ze cub. What type did she like? She really didn’t understand. Human society was truly too difficult to navigate _(:з)∠)_
Then she would just say a type completely different from the female lead~ After all, the further away from the female lead, the less likely she was to make a mistake.
Zhong Lin: “I really like gentle people, especially those who are very enthusiastic. I think it’s more comfortable to be with that kind of person~”
(Like the elders in her clan, gentle and enthusiastic. A long, long time ago, they often brought the Bai Ze cub lots and lots of delicious food~)
The director continued to guide: “When you find such a person, what do you most want to do with them?”
Director: I’m so difficult QAQ, this is truly the… worst group of guests I’ve ever had!
It was like desperately squeezing a nearly empty tube of toothpaste, squeezing a little, then a little more. This “solo interview” would have to be pieced together entirely in post-production.
Zhong Lin continued: “We can go to all the places we want to go~”
“We can go fishing in the river together, catch shrimp by the sea, play lots and lots of fun games, eat lots and lots of delicious food, and we can be together every day~”
(Hunting together every day, and then sharing, so Zhong Lin can eat more delicious food _(:з)∠)_ )
Director: “Nothing else?”
Zhong Lin: “Mm-hmm.”
“Forget it, you can go.” The director spread his hands helplessly ╮(╯▽╰)╭.
Zhong Lin stood up, ready to leave.
“Wait, stay a little longer,” the director suddenly called out, stopping her.
Look how angry the director was! He almost forgot the next step~
“First heart-flutter pick, one minute. Be careful not to go over time,” the director specifically reminded her.
The staff member handed Zhong Lin an iPad. On the romantic pink interface of the screen were beautiful photos of three Alphas—Alpha guests: two female Alphas, one male Alpha.
Who to choose?
Her little head became a mess, thoughts flying everywhere. She suddenly recalled the dream she had in the car on the way back, that dream was too real, identical eyes and eyebrows, cold white skin stained with crimson bl00d…
In a daze, she also recalled Pei Yi’s slightly threatening words—”Choose well.”
A shiver ran down her spine, and her hairs stood on end. Zhong Lin silently shivered.
She almost scared the Bai Ze cub to death!!
Her gaze stopped on the only photo of a male Alpha named “Zhu Ying”—this male Alpha looked very large. Even through his blue and white striped shirt, one could see his robust muscle mass.
He looked very suitable for hunting!
The photo in the middle was of female Alpha #2 guest, “Chu Yunze.”
Her long ponytail was tied high, sharp eyebrows beneath two strands of bangs, and narrow, elongated eyes. Although she had a slightly Alpha-aggressive appearance, her smile was like a spring breeze, looking very warm.
She looked like a cool older sister!
Her gaze swept to the last photo again.
The button directly below the photo—”Pei Yi.”
Her hair was shoulder-length, one side tucked behind her ear. The shape of her ear was exquisite, and a small fan-shaped earring hung from her earlobe, white mother-of-pearl and diamonds set in rose gold.
Unlike the signature smiles of the first two, the girl’s slender jaw was slightly raised, her eyes lightly glancing at the camera, her red lips slightly parted, looking somewhat nonchalant.
Cold, aloof, dark, mysterious, or rather, possessing a different kind of high-class aura.
Actually, among the three photos, Zhong Lin saw her first.
Pei Yi’s face seemed to possess a seductive quality, her otherworldly appearance making it impossible to look away.
Zhong Lin raised her hand, her thumb unconsciously approaching the “Pei Yi” option on the screen, but stopping just half a centimeter away.
No, she absolutely couldn’t choose Pei Yi. She didn’t even like Pei Yi, and besides, if she chose Pei Yi, wouldn’t that bring her one step closer to the “BE ending”?
Zhong Lin’s finger slowly hovered between Alpha Guest 2 and Alpha Guest 3.
The director couldn’t help but remind her: “Choose quickly.”
Time was almost up again. The director declared that he absolutely would not let the same broadcast mishap happen twice!!
Zhong Lin was still deep in thought when the director’s sudden voice made her jump, and her hand trembled, accidentally touching the “A2 Chu Yunze” option.
Ah, she accidentally picked the Alpha cool older sister with the warm smile _(:з)∠)_
She was originally hesitating whether to choose the male Alpha guest—Zhu Ying? His muscle mass looked very solid, he must be fast and good at hunting!
But since she already “slipped” and chose female Alpha #2 guest—that older sister looked a bit cool, but her smile was very gentle and infectious…
Zhong Lin: Then that’s the choice.
Anyway, since she didn’t choose Pei Yi, she was walking a completely different path from the original plot, which meant she was further away from the tragic ending!
Happy (*^▽^*)~
••••
Afterward, the other guests entered the solo interview room one by one for their interviews.
Meanwhile, Zhong Lin returned to her room.
She avoided the camera and entered the restroom, sitting on the toilet lid, secretly pulling out her phone.
A phone was a high-tech product invented by humans. Zhong Lin initially didn’t know how to use it. While the Bai Ze cub possessed “divinity” and Zhong Lin’s mental age was still that of a cub, her learning ability and logical thinking were very strong. In just a few minutes, she had completely figured out how to use a phone—
Now Zhong Lin had learned how to use common apps~
She opened the iQiyi video app and found the channel for variety shows.
Originally, *Thirty-One Days of Heart-Fluttering Challenge,* this series of dating variety shows, ranked at the bottom in viewership among all variety shows. Thanks to the original “Zhong Lin’s” antics as a drama queen, clingy nuisance, and attention-seeking maniac,
*Thirty-One Days of Heart-Fluttering Challenge* climbed to the fourth spot on the “Hot Variety Show Ranking.”
Although the livestream was a black screen during the solo interviews, the number of viewers in the bottom left corner was gradually increasing.
Because the production team had already edited some parts of the solo interviews and released spoilers, which could be seen in a small window below the video.
The bullet comments went wild. The dark screen was flooded with colorful comments—
[Holy crap?! Did Zhong Lin get replaced?! She actually didn’t pick Pei Yi! What’s going on????]
[Excuse me?? Zhou Xiaoduo picked Pei Yi!! His interactions with the super cool female Alpha Chu Yunze were so sweet before, my heart aches for Sister Yunze wuwuwu]
[Liang Shan also picked Pei Yi!! My mom asked me why I’m watching my phone on my knees?! Wasn’t her date with Brother Ying on the first day endlessly sweet like full-sugar milk tea?! Crying a storm for Brother Ying QAQ]
[I hope Yiyi doesn’t pick anyone… speechless with this group of Omegas.]
[So who will our Yiyi pick?? Ahhh, why is it gone?! I want to watch, I want to watch!!]
••••
This phenomenon was actually very normal.
The Omega guests scrambled for Pei Yi, not just desiring her body, but even more, all the resources she could bring.
The youngest Best Actress—this title alone brought a lot of attention.
Even if someone like her completely retired from the entertainment industry, she would leave behind an immortal legend, although some suspected if Pei Yi was making a comeback because she was short on money. _(:з)∠)_
Without a doubt, the most popular Alpha was Pei Yi.
Even if the other two Omega guests had already had intimate interactions with other Alpha guests, they wouldn’t be content and would want to subtly try to curry favor with Pei Yi.
The Omega guests would compete for the most dashing, most Alpha, most beautiful, and most powerful Alpha guest, at least to become more than just friends with Pei Yi, because this not only meant resources, fame, and debut opportunities!
It also meant they would have the “honorary label” of getting to hold hands and date the highest-quality Alpha in the show—
Once a successful dual-selection connection with the highest-quality Alpha guest was made, it was equivalent to indirectly outshining the other Omega guests!
Zhong Lin, however, didn’t understand the little schemes of these Omega guests. After all, as a Bai Ze cub, the most important thing was to be happy _(:з)∠)_~
Finding that the number of comments cursing her had greatly decreased, Zhong Lin chuckled twice, then exited the video app. She opened Weibo, casually scrolled through, and saw topics related to *Thirty-One Days of Heart-Fluttering Challenge* in the trending searches.
#ThirtyOneDaysOfHeartFlutteringChallenge# Many netizens’ Weibo posts in the tag—
[@ChickenLegHalfForYou: OMG! Why am I only now getting how beautiful Omega Guest #1 Zhong Lin is wuwu! [shy] She’s truly a hidden gem of a girl~ [flowers]
I feel like an eight-thousand-year-once-in-a-lifetime beauty, a Disney runaway princess, is our Zhong Lin!! [starry eyes]]
[@MilkTeaHalfSugarNoIce: Yiyi, wuwuwu, love you, love you, please be beautiful by yourself, okay? QAQ~]
[@MyFishPondMyContract: Slurp, licking a bit of Alpha #1 Little Actress Pei’s peerless beauty. I genuinely think Pei Yi will choose Omega #1 Zhong Lin for the “first heart-flutter pick”! They were a bit sweet today.]
@MyFishPondMyContract’s comment section exploded—
Netizen A: “I don’t care what you think, I care what I think!!! Choose Zhong Lin?! I don’t believe it, Yiyi is so impatient with her… My Yiyi hates her guts! Drama queen Pei Yi’s groupies, get out!”
Netizen B: “Taking my Linlinzi away, politely asking the person above to leave! My cub Linlin didn’t pick Pei Yi today~ I suggest the person above who’s blind use more Shapu Aisi (eye drops)!”
Netizen C: “Pure passerby, I think Little Actress Pei is pretty good, but your Zhong Lin is really not good. Reason: Abababa@#$% (gibberish)”
Netizen B’s defense was quickly drowned out by a wave of insults.
••••
Zhong Lin sighed and opened her Weibo homepage.
@Zhong Lin—Followers: 11,000.
Zhong Lin was super, incredibly happy: Wow~＼(^▽^)／!
Originally, the original owner only had over 200 followers, but in just one day, she gained so many!
Although she still didn’t have many followers, for an internet nobody, Zhong Lin was already very satisfied~
She opened the first Weibo post on her homepage,
/Zhong Lin: Sunny day, hope to meet you @ThirtyOneDaysOfHeartFlutteringChallengeOfficialWeibo
[Image attached]—A photo of the original “Zhong Lin” looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Time: Two days ago
Zhong Lin stared at the photo that looked exactly like her, falling silent. Large, unblended patches of blue glitter eyeshadow, exaggerated and super thick “catwoman” eyeliner.
Zhong Lin: “…”
She finally understood why the makeup artist sister in the morning so vehemently opposed her doing her own makeup!
Because the original “Zhong Lin’s” taste was too darn weird!
Zhong Lin forcibly suppressed the urge to delete this Weibo post and opened the comment section—
[So ugly, seriously! Looking like that and still trying to cling to our Yiyi, I’m gagging, I’ll vomit first as a sign of respect!! [vomit] [vomit]]
[Ahhhhh, why did you let me see Zhong Lin’s photo!? Fvck, it’s a horror movie! I need to wash my eyes!! Quickly blur Zhong Lin’s face! Ugly people cause more trouble! Zhong Lin, get out of the entertainment industry!]
••••
The comments from two days ago were uniformly attacks on Zhong Lin’s appearance and slander, relentlessly dissing Zhong Lin for being “ugly and unaware of it,” “riding on Pei Yi’s coattails, shameless”…
(It turned out that among the original Zhong Lin’s few fans, besides zombie fans, there were also anti-fans.)
Comments were sorted by time. Looking at today’s comments—
[A pearl covered in dust! Slap in the face to the person above!! [image] [image]] (Image attached is a screenshot from Zhong Lin’s live broadcast today)
[Still talking about appearance! Let’s see who dares to diss our Linlinzi’s appearance! Let’s see if the person above’s face gets slapped loudly!]
[Ahhh, Cub, does your hand still hurt today? Mommy’s heart aches TAT wuwu, remember to apply medicine!!]
[Only just now realized Cub’s beauty! Am I too late? Without us, Cub’s Weibo was cursed every day, QAQ my heart aches, and I regret not meeting you sooner wuwu [crying a storm]]
[Go, Zhong Lin, go!]
••••
The last few comments were the most recent. Zhong Lin felt a strange sensation, a sudden warmth spreading through her chest, the hot feeling making her eyes a little sore.
Really, she could have fans too! Not anti-fans, not zombie fans!
Although these fans called her “Cub,” which sounded a bit strange.
She lowered her eyes and saw the cute band-aid with the pink cat pattern on her arm. The scraped area from the morning no longer felt any pain.
But Zhong Lin wasn’t a delicate person; she was a strong and brave Bai Ze cub…
Anti-fans and public opinion couldn’t break a Bai Ze cub. Now she had fans who truly liked her!
She tapped the phone screen, exited Weibo, and opened WeChat, online banking, and other apps. Zhong Lin roughly estimated her net worth: two thousand three hundred and thirty-three yuan.
2333 yuan.
This number seemed to be mocking her.
According to Zhong Lin’s estimation of human currency’s purchasing power during her fun outing today… this money would probably only be enough for her to barely survive for a month.
The Bai Ze cub felt the pressure of life for the first time.
Human society was full of malice towards the weak and pitiful Bai Ze cub.
Zhong Lin: I’m so difficult TAT.
“Knock, knock, knock—” There was a sudden knock at the door.
Zhong Lin quickly put away her phone and scurried to open the door: “Coming~”
