The Scummy Alpha Isn’t Actually Scummy [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 5: Love Reality Show

Chapter 5: Love Reality Show

Rong Chu just returned to her room when her phone vibrated twice in a row.

Rong Chu glanced at the live broadcast camera in the bedroom, did not open her phone, but found a piece of clothing from her suitcase to cover the camera, and then picked up her phone to look at it.

Chen Shi: The food you cooked was delicious.

Wu Zixi: Thank you for helping me out today.

Rong Chu smiled slightly, took screenshots of both messages, and sent them to the program team’s staff, who would release these messages later.

Rong Chu was tired today, yawned, stretched her legs, and went to bed.

Outside, Gu Qingyan dried her hair until it stopped dripping, with wet hair loosely hanging, showing a bit of laziness as she picked up her phone.

Without Rong Chu, she seemed more at ease, her wet hair clinging to her cheeks, highlighting her superior features.

Gu Qingyan’s features were striking, but she was too pale, with a low presence, so audiences often missed her beauty, drawn to others instead.

Now, alone in the suite’s small living room, she leaned lazily against the sofa, her slender white fingers picking up her phone, her eyelashes lowered as she looked at it, her collar showing dark patches from water dripping from her hair, one leg dangling in a slipper, the other slightly bent on the sofa’s edge, revealing a fair, slim ankle, her feet as pale as she was, the color of someone who rarely saw the sun, and at this moment, Gu Qingyan showed a beauty different from her daytime quietness, like an ephemeral flower blooming only under the moonlight.

The barrage went silent for a moment, quietly appreciating this beautiful scene, until a comment slowly slid across.

[The program team really knows how to pick people, the guests’ looks are so high this time.]

The barrage gradually started chatting again.

[Each has their own personality, I remembered them right away.]

[Just don’t know who she’ll send it to?]

[Damn! The program team just announced they’ll reveal it tomorrow!]

Gu Qingyan opened her phone and saw the message.

[I’m happy to be your roommate.]

Sender: Rong Chu.

Gu Qingyan scoffed lightly, turned off her phone, picked up the towel beside her, and went back to her bedroom.

The night deepened, and a new day began.

As the sun rose outside, footsteps came from the cabin, heading downstairs.

Zhou Cong and Chen Shi came downstairs at the same time and met at the staircase.

Zhou Cong wore sportswear, different from yesterday, with earphones in her ears, a headband on her head, wristbands on her wrists, and running shoes, seeing Chen Shi in professional attire, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, very urban and refined, yet with a hint of roguish charm.

Zhou Cong spoke softly, as if worried about disturbing the quiet morning.

“Morning, off to work?”

Chen Shi smiled, nodded, and said, “You too?”

Zhou Cong shook her head slightly and said, “No, I’m going for a run.”

She nodded to Chen Shi, went downstairs first, and left the cabin.

Chen Shi checked the time on her wrist, went downstairs to make a cup of coffee, and while waiting, more sounds came from upstairs, as Rong Chu came down energetically.

Chen Shi raised her cup and asked, “Want coffee?”

The light hit her pearl-colored shirt, her raised wrist showing a fair wrist, her slender fingers holding the cup, her gold-rimmed glasses seeming to glow.

Rong Chu smiled and nodded, “I won’t refuse.”

Viewers entering the ‘Heartbeats for You’ live stream saw this scene and screamed, almost fainting from excitement.

[Did no one notice Rong Chu helping Chen Shi tie her apron yesterday?]

[They cooked dinner together too!!!!]

[The kitchen is definitely where romance starts!!!]

Rong Chu watched Chen Shi make another cup of coffee, both about the same height, though Chen Shi looked slimmer, perhaps her outfit toned down her presence.

Rong Chu asked, “No breakfast?”

Chen Shi shook her head and said, “Not used to it.”

She handed the coffee to Rong Chu, casually took out lipstick from her bag nearby, and applied it carelessly in front of a mirror.

A camera in the kitchen faced Chen Shi, and the barrage turned into a shrieking frenzy, her aura just too captivating.

Her loose, lazy curls, her slightly raised neck, her V-neck shirt faintly showing her collarbone, her waist in a black fitted skirt leaning against the kitchen counter, revealing a mature, beautiful curve, the woman squinting slightly as she spread the lipstick with her fingers, vibrant color emerging, her white teeth lightly biting, Chen Shi gently pushed up her slipping glasses.

She put the lipstick in her bag, said to Rong Chu, “I’m off,” and stepped out into the pale golden morning light.

The barrage’s screams didn’t stop until Chen Shi left.

The 24-hour live stream was in the cabin, and since the guests’ identities were still unrevealed, viewers didn’t know where Chen Shi went to work, but based on her outfit, some guessed:

[Probably a high-level white-collar?]

[An elite? Chen Shi has that vibe!]

In the backlight, Rong Chu squinted as she watched Chen Shi walk away, finished the last bit of coffee, and washed the cup.

She opened the fridge to find ingredients and made a simple breakfast.

When Gu Qingyan got ready and came downstairs to head to her company, Rong Chu’s quick sandwich was done.

Gu Qingyan was about to leave, but Rong Chu called out, making her stop and turn slowly, and viewers saw her outfit: high ponytail, oversized white T-shirt, blue washed jeans, baseball cap, canvas shoes, and sunglasses on her face.

Without the sunglasses, she looked like a youthful, radiant student.

Especially with the backpack typical of students on her back.

“What’s up?” Gu Qingyan asked reluctantly, though her face was mostly hidden by sunglasses, showing only her round nose and pale lips, no hint of color, like a vampire walking in daylight.

Rong Chu smiled and said, “I made breakfast, take it to eat at the company.”

Gu Qingyan frowned slightly, “How do you know I’m going to the company?”

Rong Chu neatly packed the sandwich and handed it to Gu Qingyan, saying, “People leaving at this hour are probably going to work, right?”

Gu Qingyan took the bag from Rong Chu, checked the time, 8:15, pursed her lips, said, “Thanks,” and quickly left.

Seeing Gu Qingyan’s outfit, Rong Chu was curious about her job.

But her priority was finding the Silent One, or she’d be stuck in this world longer.

Per the program rules, identities would be revealed after tomorrow’s date, so today was still secretive, leaving Rong Chu in the dark, but once identities were out, guessing the Silent One would be easier.

After all, she and the Silent One met through Blue Sky, so what kind of person uses that app?

Rong Chu had a rough guess.

Probably a cute girl?

From the original host’s chats with the Silent One, she seemed awkward, prideful, and occasionally temperamental, and the one matching these traits was Jiang Yue.

But…

Rong Chu thought for a bit, unable to rule out others, so she needed to stay cautious.

Today, Rong Chu had nothing planned; her identity as a painter, a freelancer, let her set her own schedule, and she wanted to get closer to Jiang Yue to confirm her guess. When Jiang Yue woke up and came downstairs, Rong Chu was checking the fridge’s inventory.

Handing breakfast to Jiang Yue, Rong Chu casually said, “The fridge is low on ingredients, we need to go to the supermarket.”

Wu Zixi, just coming downstairs, heard this and apologized, “Sorry, I have to go to work.”

Rong Chu smiled at her, “No problem, go to work.”

Wu Zixi took the breakfast, gave an apologetic smile, and left.

Zhou Cong, back from her run, went upstairs to shower, changed clothes, came down, ate Rong Chu’s sandwich in a few bites, and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Except for Xi Mengyun, still sleeping, everyone in the cabin was up.

Jiang Yue hesitantly asked, “Is it okay not to call Xi Mengyun?”

Zhou Cong finished a bottle of water and said, “I called her, she told me not to bother her.”

“Oh…” Jiang Yue seemed disappointed but quickly perked up, “Let’s go then.”

The three decided and headed to the supermarket.

The program team switched cameras, sending a crew to follow, as this didn’t involve revealing jobs, so filming was fine.

The supermarket was close, just outside the villa area, a large store.

At the supermarket, Rong Chu pushed a cart, with Zhou Cong and Jiang Yue following.

Rong Chu scanned the shelves and said, “The fridge has no vegetables, anything you want to eat?”

Zhou Cong shook her head, and Jiang Yue tilted her head, suddenly saying, “How about a barbecue tonight? The cabin has a big terrace, it’d be a shame not to use it.”

Rong Chu laughed, “Sure, you’re on duty today, so it’s your call.”

Jiang Yue smiled shyly.

The barrage went “ahh,” [So sweet!]

[Rong Chu’s got something!]

[Darn! This morning I thought she and Chen Shi were great, but now she and Jiang Yue look cute too! That height difference is adorable!]

Jiang Yue only reached Rong Chu’s chest, needing to tiptoe to grab a drink from the top shelf.

Rong Chu, in the fresh produce section with Zhou Cong, saw Jiang Yue struggling to reach the top shelf, handed the cart to Zhou Cong, walked over, and easily grabbed the drink Jiang Yue wanted.

“This one?” Rong Chu asked.

Jiang Yue’s eyes sparkled, her face slightly red, maybe from holding her breath or shyness.

She patted her cheeks, calming her racing heart, took the sparkling water from Rong Chu, and said, “Hmm, this lychee flavor is my favorite in this row.”

Rong Chu glanced at the other flavors; few were displayed, and this one was high up, likely because it was less popular, placed where it was hard to reach.

“Want a few more bottles?” she asked, wanting to get closer to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue shook her head, hugged the sparkling water, and ran toward Zhou Cong.

“Zhou Cong’s waiting! Let’s get meat first!”

Rong Chu caught up in a few steps.

Zhou Cong glanced at them without comment.

The barrage quietly showed a line: [I should be under the car, not here.]

[Look at how happy you are~]

[Oops! I sang it!]

[Hahahahahaha]

[Hahahahahahahahaha]

The barrage was full of lively vibes.
