Snatching the Scumbag Alphas' White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 6

Liu Yan helped Xia Jinuo get her phone. After facial recognition unlocked it, Xia Jinuo found “Zu Can” in WeChat. Clicking on it, she found that their chat interface only contained “Ji Jinuo’s” one-sided messages.

Unlike Xia Jinuo, “Ji Jinuo,” unaware of the truth, was very much looking forward to this dating variety show and was naturally very grateful to Zu Can for giving her the opportunity. After signing the contract, “Ji Jinuo” sent many messages to Zu Can expressing gratitude. Zu Can only replied with a “You’re welcome” emoji at the end of the last message.

The emoji was cute, but it also meant Zu Can had nothing to say to “Ji Jinuo.” Although “Ji Jinuo” wasn’t very bright, she also saw Zu Can’s perfunctoriness and stopped sending one-sided messages to bother her.

Xia Jinuo’s finger joints also hurt, but she could endure it.

After sending a video call request to Zu Can, Liu Yan took the phone back and held it for Xia Jinuo.

The phone vibrated a few times, and finally, with two “buzzing” sounds, the call was answered by the other side.

“Just message me if you need something, why are you video calling?” Zu Can said impatiently. After speaking, she finally looked at the phone screen.

Upon seeing Xia Jinuo’s hospital gown and the background behind her, Zu Can paused, her tone softened, and she asked, “Feeling unwell?”

Xia Jinuo tried to force a smile on her pale face. “Sister Can, I’m sorry, I’ve had some health issues and need to be hospitalized for a month. I won’t be able to attend your birthday party.”

Zu Can frowned: “A month? Can you make it to the show on time?”

Xia Jinuo’s voice trembled slightly from the pain: “I’m worried about that too. Liu Yan just contacted Brother Li from the production team, and he said he wants to come to the hospital to see the specific situation before saying more.”

Zu Can had initially wanted to scold her, but hearing the pain in her voice, she ultimately retracted her blaming words and chose something less irritating. “I gave you the opportunity, but you couldn’t seize it yourself. That’s it, I’m hanging up.”

Zu Can acted quickly; the phone screen instantly went black, showing her extreme impatience in talking to Xia Jinuo.

Liu Yan, fearing Xia Jinuo would be sad because of Zu Can’s attitude, quickly said: “Zu Can has always had that temper, don’t mind what she says.” After all, Xia Jinuo was in a special period now; the doctor said that enduring pain every day could easily lead to depression and paranoia. Liu Yan was terrified that Xia Jinuo would be stimulated.

Xia Jinuo said: “I know, I won’t mind.”

Right now, her mind was only filled with pain. The endless, continuous pain tormented her nerves; nothing else could make her care.

When she was asleep, Xia Jinuo could temporarily forget the pain, but after she woke up, Liu Yan told her that she had been talking in her sleep, crying “pain.”

Being in a continuous state of pain really tortured one’s will. Ten days later, when Li Qin, the head of the Sweet Battlefield production team, finally made time to visit Xia Jinuo at the hospital with his assistant, Xia Jinuo’s mental state had already deteriorated significantly.

Sleep could usually offer her an escape from the pain for a while, but since last night, she had suddenly suffered from insomnia, only managing to get a few hours of sleep during the day.

Liu Yan called a doctor to check, and the doctor said that the situation would only improve in the later stages. There was nothing they could do to help Xia Jinuo now, telling her to endure it a bit longer.

When Li Qin knocked on the door and entered the room and saw Xia Jinuo, he almost thought he had entered the wrong room.

“Isn’t it secondary differentiation? Why is it so serious?” The girl in front of him bore almost no resemblance to the girl he had seen when she signed the contract.

Xia Jinuo lay in the hospital bed, her face utterly devoid of color, her hands outside the blanket looked withered, as if her spirit had been drained, a terrifying sight. If you knew, you’d know Xia Jinuo was growing due to secondary differentiation. If you didn’t, you’d think Xia Jinuo had a terminal illness and was on her last legs.

Xia Jinuo couldn’t speak, so Liu Yan spoke for her: “It hurts, it hurts every day, every night. Ordinary people’s growing pains usually only last for a while at night, but Jinuo’s pain hasn’t stopped.”

Anyone who saw Xia Jinuo’s current state would be scared. Liu Yan, who was staying by her side, was worried and couldn’t sleep soundly, her complexion was also poor.

Li Qin comforted Xia Jinuo for a few moments, then went out with his assistant to talk to Xia Jinuo’s attending physician.

Liu Yan sighed and said to Xia Jinuo: “Li Qin knows you’ve really undergone secondary differentiation into an Alpha, so you should be able to terminate the contract. Get well soon, and I’ll get you the work you like.”

Xia Jinuo “mm-hm’d” and said, “I’m waiting.”

She was almost driven out of her mind by the torment, but hearing “terminate the contract” immediately restored her strength to speak.

After returning from seeing the doctor with his assistant, Li Qin walked to the bedside and said to Xia Jinuo with a gentle expression: “The recording time has been postponed by a few days. The doctor said that with your bone growth rate, thirty days should be enough. We’ll wait for you. You just focus on recovering.”

Xia Jinuo’s eyelashes trembled violently.

Liu Yan was also a bit stunned. What was wrong with them? They knew “Ji Jinuo” was an Alpha, so why did they still want her to participate?

“Brother Li, doesn’t the dating variety show require five Alphas and Omegas? If Jinuo participates, it will become six Alphas and four Omegas, which doesn’t seem quite right,” Liu Yan tried to advocate for Xia Jinuo.

Li Qin’s assistant said: “Our variety show is called Sweet Battlefield. A battle means struggle. Ancient battles were for seizing food and Omegas because food and Omegas were scarce. That day, after receiving your call, our production team held a meeting and felt that having more Alpha guests than Omega guests would make the content more interesting. So we re-evaluated the plan. It just so happens we don’t need to find another Alpha guest; Teacher Ji Jinuo can continue participating.”

Xia Jinuo: “…” Whatever. Just let her survive the growing pains first, then talk about anything else.

Facing Li Qin’s assistant’s expectant look for praise, Liu Yan tried her best to muster enthusiasm, smiling and giving a thumbs up: “…Well, that’s really great! Thank you to the production team for giving Jinuo this opportunity!”

Another ten days passed. Xia Jinuo’s pain significantly lessened, and she finally had an appetite to eat. In the last ten days, Xia Jinuo barely managed to regain the weight she had lost earlier, but her height had shot up by nearly fifteen centimeters, so even with the same weight gained back, she still looked excessively thin.

Especially her face; it had become so gaunt it was almost unrecognizable.

After thirty days of pain, Xia Jinuo felt she was nearing a state of desirelessness. She was so Buddhist that even owing five million for breaching a contract didn’t seem so difficult to accept anymore.

But she wouldn’t do that. Liu Yan had selflessly taken care of her for a month in the hospital. She had to work to earn commissions for Liu Yan to repay her.

First and foremost, she had to survive to repay Liu Yan for a longer time.

Xia Jinuo was discharged from the hospital and recuperated at home for a few days. On the day of the show’s recording, as Liu Yan saw her off into the car, Xia Jinuo told Liu Yan, “I’ll definitely come back alive.”

“???” She was just going to record Sweet Battlefield, not actually go to war.

Liu Yan hadn’t yet figured out how Xia Jinuo recording a dating variety show had become a matter of life and death when the car door closed, and Xia Jinuo’s car quickly drove away until it was out of sight.
