Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 11
Gu Chixue walked into the kitchen and first checked the leftover ingredients from yesterday in the fridge. All that remained were eggs and two bags of frozen chicken wings.
After a moment’s thought, she turned to Ye Rou, who was standing beside her, and said, “There aren’t many ingredients right now. How about I make cola chicken wings and scrambled eggs with chili? It’s a bit high in calories. Can you eat it?”
Ye Rou nodded: “Yes, I’m really hungry right now. As long as your food tastes good, I can eat anything.”
“Besides, I exercised quite a bit today from playing all day, so it should be fine,” she added, her voice unconsciously soft and tender.
Gu Chixue’s entire body tingled when she heard that voice. She screamed internally, using words like “I can’t take it,” “foul play,” and “demoness.”
She quickly put on a “subway old man staring at his phone” expression and said, “What’s wrong with you? Why did your voice suddenly become so strange?”
Ye Rou glared, then slapped Gu Chixue’s arm with a “slap!”
She chided playfully, “Your voice is strange! People call you a ‘sea queen’ (player/flirt), but I think you’re just a big straight Alpha. Can you even find a partner talking like that?”
“Hiss, that hurts.”
Gu Chixue rubbed the spot where she was hit, looking aggrieved: “It’s just that your tone just now was so different from before; I haven’t gotten used to it yet.”
“People say you’re gentle, but look at you, hitting me at the slightest disagreement. It hurts so much!” Her tone and expression were exactly like a big, wronged dog being scolded by its owner.
Ye Rou snorted: “Whose fault is that? You deserve it! Now hurry up and cook; I’m starving~”
After speaking, she looked at the person in front of her, who looked so wronged. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and stroked the spot where she had hit Gu Chixue, as if comforting her, or perhaps feeling sorry for her.
The others in the living room watched the two in the kitchen, dumbfounded, their faces filled with astonishment, their eyes saying: [Who am I? Where am I? Why has this world suddenly become unrecognizable to me?!]
The audience was also enjoying the arguments and revelry in the bullet comments.
[Ahhhhh, I’ve locked this CP, and I’ve swallowed the key. If they don’t get married, I’ll be so disappointed!]
[Ah, so sweet, so sweet, so sweet! These two standing together are a perfect match, alright?! I’ve brought the civil affairs bureau for you; please get married on the spot.]
[Match what match?! Gu Chixue should just die on the spot, okay?! How can that scumbag Alpha be worthy of my goddess?!]
[What happened? I didn’t watch the live stream this morning. Why are their relationship so intimate now? Ye Rou even directly hit her!]
[The aloof goddess before was fake! Is this the first time Ye Rou’s ‘girly’ side has been shown on camera? The contrast with how she was when she first arrived is too great. Is this a persona the show created?]
[Probably not. Ye Rou might have become like this because Gu Chixue saved her this morning. There are traces in her behavior; perhaps this is Ye Rou’s true personality.]
Gu Chixue picked up the apron hanging on the wall, preparing to put it on. She had just slipped it on, her hands not yet reaching behind her back, when she felt someone hold the straps from behind.
“Let me tie it for you. You go cook,” Ye Rou’s clear, moist voice came from behind.
Feeling the subtle touch on her back, Gu Chixue’s body stiffened. She didn’t dare to make any large movements, afraid of disturbing the beauty behind her.
After Ye Rou tied Gu Chixue’s apron, she calmly picked up another apron and tied it around herself. She raised her hands, swirling them around her hair for a moment, and a fluffy bun was secured.
With her hair tied up, Ye Rou’s demeanor appeared even more intellectual and gentle. Her long, delicate neck was accentuated by the overhead lights, making it appear even fairer. The scent gland area was covered by a pure white, square patch, but the faint, sweet aroma of milky avocado still subtly spread around the two of them.
Gu Chixue’s nostrils flared, [It’s that pleasant smell again.]
She turned her head to look at Ye Rou standing beside her, a smile, unnoticed by herself, playing on her lips.
With their cooperation, a meal was quickly prepared.
“You try this. How’s the seasoning? Is it too sweet?” Gu Chixue dipped her chopsticks into the sauce at the bottom of the pot and brought it to Ye Rou’s mouth.
Ye Rou, hearing this, didn’t think too much. Looking at the chopsticks extended before her, she opened her mouth, bit down, and sucked a little, then pursed her lips.
“Mm! So delicious, the taste is just right.”
Ye Rou’s eyes widened, and her gaze, full of pleasant surprise, turned to Gu Chixue.
Gu Chixue looked proud and happy when she heard Ye Rou say that.
“Hehe, I’m glad you like it. I told you I’d make you eat your tongue, didn’t I?”
The two were immersed in their world of food, blatantly displaying their affection as if no one else was there. Their intimate actions practically blinded everyone’s titanium alloy eyes, and the key was that neither of them seemed to realize it.
Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng looked at the scene in the kitchen, exchanged glances on the sofa, their eyes filled with solemnity and wariness.
Lin Fengran and Wang Meng, one covering his mouth with a hand, as if afraid of shouting out, watched their idol fall in love right before their eyes with excitement. The other’s eyes were wide, looking at Ye Rou’s natural demeanor with surprise, loudly thinking: [Please, please, just get together already, so the other two will stop thinking about you.]
As the show’s popularity soared, online discussion also continuously increased. Some who disliked Gu Chixue and Ye Rou, or their rival agencies, began to release some baseless rumors and negative publicity, attempting to suppress their rising popularity.
A hashtag quietly landed at the top of the trending topics: #GuChixueAndYeRouSecretlyMeetLateAtNight,TheTwoAreAlreadyTogether!#
Underneath the hashtag was a clear video, which was none other than the scene from the night before yesterday when Gu Chixue personally resolved the traffic jam.
Although Gu Chixue was well-disguised in the video, people saw the conflict with the driver and the events of today’s show. With a little deduction, they could determine that the person exuding an unparalleled strong Alpha aura in the video was Gu Chixue.
And the nanny van was also dug up by resourceful netizens as Ye Rou’s exclusive vehicle. This topic, once it surfaced, quickly exploded online.
Uninformed netizens, or those manipulated by ill-intentioned individuals or paid internet trolls, furiously commented under this hashtag, fiercely demanding an explanation from the show.
[Why are two people who are already together allowed on a dating reality show? Are they just here to make dirty money?]
[It’s not just about making dirty money; it’s about using this show to officially announce their relationship, making money, dating at public expense, and gaining a wave of traffic. What a scheme!]
[My idols are ruined! Of all people, Ye Rou had to fall for a scumbag Alpha.]
[Exactly! Haven’t you seen all the previous undeniable proofs? Don’t you understand what kind of person Gu Chixue is? Is her looks really more important than her character?!]
[Is this show considered fraud? If I call the consumer complaint hotline, will they do anything?]
[LOL, to the person upstairs, you can try calling.]
At this moment, Gu Chixue was holding her bowl with a satisfied expression, just about to pick up the last chicken wing to eat.
She saw Ye Rou’s eyes follow the movement of the chicken wing. A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, and she had the urge to tease the person in front of her.
She picked up the chicken wing, raised it, put it down, and even drew a circle in the air, but she just wouldn’t put it in her own bowl.
Ye Rou’s head moved with Gu Chixue’s actions. Suddenly, she reacted and quickly looked up at Gu Chixue.
What she saw was Gu Chixue looking at her with a smile that made one want to punch her, her eyes full of teasing.
“Oh, I want to eat it,” Ye Rou said sweetly, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks, as she spoke coyly to Gu Chixue.
Gu Chixue’s smile widened as she raised an eyebrow at Ye Rou: “How about it? My cooking didn’t disappoint you, did it?”
Ye Rou shook her head as quickly as a rattle drum: “No, no, it was absolutely delicious.”
She then showed her bowl to Gu Chixue: “See? I had a full bowl of rice, and now there’s only this much left. Just give it to me.”
“Please, please~” The last word of Ye Rou’s sentence undulated like a wave, sending goosebumps down Gu Chixue’s arms.
She extended her chopsticks and directly placed the chicken wing into Ye Rou’s bowl: “Ah, here, here, here, just eat it quickly. I’ll do the dishes after you finish.” With that, she fled the dining table as if escaping.
Ye Rou looked at her slightly disheveled figure and the chicken wing Gu Chixue had personally placed in her bowl, a smile playing on her lips.
She lowered her head and put the chicken wing and rice into her mouth. Her hair fell, perfectly concealing the blush rising on her beautiful face.
Suddenly, a phone notification broke Ye Rou’s pleasant mood. It was from the director: [Come to the control room, urgent!]
Ye Rou’s beautiful deer-like eyes narrowed. She stood up, looking at Gu Chixue, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, with a soft smile. “I’m going downstairs. The director needs me for something. I’ll come up and help you with the dishes later, okay?”
“Go ahead. I can handle this by myself,” Gu Chixue replied casually.
Ye Rou entered the control room, carrying an aura completely different from when she was with Gu Chixue. She wore an impeccable, mask-like smile as she looked at the director, her tone calm and indifferent: “What happened? Is it related to this morning’s incident?”
“Yes, someone bought internet trolls and trending topics to smear you and Gu Chixue online. Take a look.” The director handed his phone to Ye Rou, his expression grave. His usually kind eyes were now filled with anger and coldness.
A silence filled the air, broken only by the occasional sound of fingers swiping across the screen.
After a long while, Ye Rou’s clear, cold voice emerged: “Have you found out who did it?”
“Not yet. I’m still investigating on my end, but it’s highly likely to be your rivals,” the director said, sitting beside her. His usually cheerful plump face now held a hint of ruthlessness. He slammed his arm on the table, saying fiercely, “Don’t let me find out who it is, or I’ll make them pay.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go out and make a call,” Ye Rou said, her expression unchanged, a rare chill in her tone.
At this moment, a cool breeze swept in, stirring Ye Rou’s skirt. Under the moonlight, the girl’s usual smile disappeared, and her gentle, mild demeanor vanished without a trace. Her exquisite deer eyes now showed no emotion, making her appear awe-inspiring.
Ye Rou leaned against the wall, picked up her phone, and casually dialed a number. Her voice was calm: “I’ve given you the highest authority. I want to see results by 12 AM tonight.”
“Received!” an excited voice came from the other end of the line.
In a sci-fi-esque room, it was now brightly lit. Huge walls were covered with screens displaying various complex data.
Many people were bustling about the room. The person sitting in the command seat suddenly stood up, looked around, and said loudly, “Alright, everyone, time to work! Crush everyone who made the young miss angry!”
“Urah~ Crush them!” The crowd responded, their shouts seemingly ready to tear the roof off.
