Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 16
The second person to take the stage was Xie Qingcheng. When she saw the last round’s question for Gu Chixue, she couldn’t stop cursing inwardly, This lousy production team is being too blatantly biased.
It’s all because those two have a lot of topics and strong traffic. If I were a celebrity, I could do it too!
Xie Qingcheng looked at the three Omegas sitting opposite her, reining in her dissatisfaction. She tried her best to adopt what she considered a very elegant sitting posture and began to draw, hoping to outshine Gu Chixue in terms of poise.
Strictly speaking, she was indeed an excellent female Alpha. At a young age, she had already successfully managed a company with excellent revenue, carrying an inherent aura of a superior and successful person.
However, all of this simply couldn’t stand against an opponent who was a force of nature. The same place, different people.
Perhaps the impression Gu Chixue had left on people earlier was too profound. Now, Xie Qingcheng sitting there gave off a very mediocre feeling. Undeniably, she was also a beauty, but beauties also had varying degrees.
The first drawing was finished: two stick figures standing opposite each other, hands linked together. It was completely unclear what it meant.
Xie Qingcheng looked at Ye Rou with a charming smile, full of expectation, hoping she could answer all her questions correctly.
Ye Rou and the others frowned, secretly complaining, This drawing skill is really too elementary school level. How can anyone tell what this is, hey!
Lin Fengran suddenly saw a glimmer of light in his eyes as he watched. He clapped his hands and pointed at the drawing, saying, “Back-to-back hug, right?!”
Xie Qingcheng’s smile stiffened. She reluctantly shifted her gaze from Ye Rou’s face to Lin Fengran’s, forcing a smile: “Yes, correct!” Her tone was quite clenched.
Ye Rou and Wang Meng looked puzzled at her words. They leaned forward and looked closely again; it really did look more and more like it.
They both gasped, let out an “Oh!” of sudden realization, and then nodded in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized. The scene was truly a bit surreal.
This scene was later made into an animated emoji by countless silly netizens, with the caption [Wow, yes, yes, yes.]
Wang Meng excitedly patted Lin Fengran’s shoulder, saying, “Amazing! You could tell even with how abstract it is.”
Ye Rou also gave Lin Fengran a thumbs-up with a reserved smile.
Lin Fengran laughed heartily, appearing very pleased by the praise, and expressed his determination to do even better.
Only Xie Qingcheng’s face darkened slightly upon hearing Wang Meng’s words. She silently turned to begin drawing the second picture.
Who knew that Lin Fengran, who had guessed the first drawing, seemed to have had a switch flipped? He suddenly understood Xie Qingcheng’s drawing style, answering correctly again and again, directly locking in their pairing with a record of eight correct drawings.
The smile on Xie Qingcheng’s face went from radiant to stiff, then to numb, finally collapsing internally with a shout: [What kind of divine being are you?! Throwing pen.jpg]
Ye Rou hid to the side, observing Xie Qingcheng’s mental changes. She quietly lowered her head, the corner of her eye curving into a beautiful arc as she couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhou Qian, seeing this from offstage, felt a secret delight. He was very confident in his drawing skills, ensuring everyone could recognize his drawings at a glance.
As he thought, he even cast a disdainful look at Gu Chixue and Xie Qingcheng on stage, as if saying, You little punks, still trying to compete with me? Now Ye Rou should finally be paired with me, hahahaha!
He confidently walked onto the stage with a determined look, sketching the prompt on the board with just a few strokes, making it incredibly lifelike. Truly a testament to his design background. There was no doubt; his drawing skills were indeed excellent.
Who knew that Wang Meng would suddenly appear out of nowhere? Her hands practically blurred as she answered, always being the first to blurt out the correct answer. It was also true that Zhou Qian drew too well; the answer was obvious at first glance.
Lin Fengran, also aware of Wang Meng’s intentions, decisively chose not to compete and simply remained an observer.
Ye Rou, from the side, was also happy to idly watch Zhou Qian, secretly amused that Wang Meng was truly energetic. This saves me from having to act, hehe.
Zhou Qian on stage was utterly distraught, only able to watch helplessly as Ye Rou moved further and further away from him.
Eventually, the game ended, and the production team announced the results: First place Xie Qingcheng, second place Zhou Qian, third place Gu Chixue.
Ye Rou stood prettily beside Gu Chixue, smiling charmingly, “Oh, what do we do about being third? Only the worst performing car is left for us.”
She said this, but her expression showed no concern about losing the game. Instead, she was smiling very happily.
The sun was just right today, casting long shadows of the two standing together. From behind, it looked as if they were embracing.
“What? Are you looking forward to that final surprise?” Gu Chixue raised an eyebrow at Ye Rou.
“Of course! I’m very serious when I play games; I always strive for first place,” Ye Rou raised a hand to tuck her long hair behind her ear: “But all of this has to be under equal conditions. This time we’re at a disadvantage from the start, so it’s okay if we lose.”
Gu Chixue looked at the girl who clearly wanted to win but was also considering her feelings, and chuckled: “Heh, are you doubting the strength of a top Alpha? Today, I’ll show you what it means to be one with the car!”
With that, she looked at the three cars parked together in the distance, a hint of nostalgia appearing in her eyes.
In her previous life, Gu Chixue’s favorite thing was to drive a car with her comrades, each in their own vehicle, speeding through the city ruins.
The roar of the engines would attract zombies hiding in the dark corners of the entire city. At such times, if you didn’t have some driving skills, you would be directly engulfed by the horde of zombies chasing behind you.
From a high vantage point, the vehicles would resemble black lines weaving and darting at high speed through the city’s broken walls and ruins, eventually forming a large net in the central plaza, trapping all the zombies.
Whenever this happened, everyone would get out of their cars with excited eyes, holding their blades, and like a fierce storm, throw themselves into the zombie horde, slaughtering to their heart’s content.
Gu Chixue’s long hair would dance wildly in the wind, and the sharp blade in her hand was like the grim reaper’s scythe held high, reaping the lives of all zombies within sight.
The constantly splashing bl00d and fluttering clothes around her were like blooming demonic lotuses, flourishing wantonly in that land of death.
“Really? Don’t boast now,” Ye Rou’s voice pulled Gu Chixue back to reality.
Gu Chixue looked at the girl, a faint trace of killing intent still lingering in her eyes that she hadn’t had time to hide.
This gaze startled Ye Rou greatly. All the hairs on her body stood on end instantly, and she unconsciously stepped back half a pace.
Gu Chixue saw Ye Rou’s reaction and secretly blamed herself for scaring her.
She quickly put on a gentle smile, her eyes filled with clear water as she looked at the girl. Her tone was as usual, feigning ignorance: “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face? Why do you look like you’ve seen a monster?”
Ye Rou looked at Gu Chixue’s unchanged demeanor for a moment, doubting if her previous feeling was just her imagination.
After a long pause, she stammered, “Your eyes just now were so scary. You frightened me.”
Gu Chixue looked at the girl, who seemed a bit wronged, hesitated for a moment, but finally raised her hand and patted Ye Rou’s head to comfort her:
“That must be your imagination. Don’t overthink it. Let’s go check out the cars; we still need to get used to them.” Then she took the lead and walked over.
Was it really just my imagination just now?
Ye Rou felt the fleeting warm touch on her head and looked at Gu Chixue’s back, feeling that this Alpha was becoming more and more mysterious.
From her initial intentional or unintentional avoidance, to discovering that she was different from the rumors, and now to the aura she unintentionally displayed.
“Heh, interesting. I want to see what the real you is like.”
Ye Rou narrowed her eyes, an inexplicable look flashing in them. Then she suppressed these thoughts and lightly followed after her.
The two got into the car and buckled their seatbelts. Gu Chixue felt baffled looking at the operating system, which was completely different from her previous life.
Scanning her original body’s memories, there was no racing driving experience either.
The steering wheel was there, the gas and brake were there, but where was the start button?!
Come to think of it, this was the first time she had driven a car herself since coming to this world. Because she had always ridden in other people’s cars before, she had never seriously observed how others started them.
The cars she drove in her previous life all had intelligent system assistance; she could start the engine with voice commands. This was her first time encountering a car in this world.
Who’s going to tell me how to start this thing?! Gu Chixue wailed internally.
Ye Rou sat in the car, looking puzzled at Gu Chixue’s fumbling around. She asked, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you starting the car?”
Gu Chixue didn’t know how to respond. If she said she didn’t know where the start button was, Ye Rou would laugh at her, wouldn’t she?
Yes, she definitely would laugh at me!
Gu Chixue kept a straight face, still not speaking, radiating stubbornness.
After a moment, Ye Rou realized. She looked at Gu Chixue with a half-smile, hesitatingly asking in a very uncertain tone, “You… you don’t know how to start the car, do you?”
Gu Chixue’s face remained taut. She still didn’t speak, her whole being radiating stubbornness.
Then, Ye Rou’s burst of laughter filled the car.
The surrounding staff looked into the car in surprise, secretly giving Gu Chixue a thumbs-up in their hearts.
They wondered what she had done to make the notoriously cool Film Empress laugh so happily, completely uninhibited.
“Hahahaha, Gu Chixue, are you trying to kill me with laughter? You were just talking about becoming one with the car, and seeing how confident you were, I thought you were an old pro at driving, but then you tell me you don’t know how to start it, hahahahaha!” Ye Rou clutched her stomach, collapsing in laughter on the seat, tears almost streaming down her face from laughing so hard.
“When did I offend you? Seriously, you don’t have to do this to me. What good does it do you to laugh me to death?”
Gu Chixue looked at the hysterically laughing Ye Rou, her face lined with black, but she didn’t know how to retort.
She could only force herself to remain calm and seriously say, “I used to drive cars that others had already started, really, don’t believe me, then you try starting it for me.”
“Oh, please, stop laughing.”
“Hahahaha, okay, okay, I won’t laugh, I won’t laugh.” Ye Rou tried extremely hard to suppress her expression, looking at Gu Chixue with a teasing look: “Is there really a person like you in this world? You can drive but don’t know how to start a car? Pfft~”
She really couldn’t hold it in and started laughing again.
Gu Chixue looked at Ye Rou, feeling utterly helpless. It seemed her embarrassing past would never be forgotten.
[Hey, I’m so annoyed! Slam table.jpg]
After laughing for a long time, Ye Rou finally calmed down. Seeing Gu Chixue looking at her with a darkened face, she quickly coughed twice and pretended to be serious: “I’ll help you start it. Watch closely!”
Vroom~ As the engine started, Gu Chixue stomped on the gas, and the car shot onto the track.
The speed continuously soared. The centrifugal force pressed the two firmly into their seats. A piercing screech entered Ye Rou’s eardrums—the sound of tires rubbing against the ground.
The car executed a precise drift and corner turn with extremely standard movements.
“Whoa!” Ye Rou gasped, feeling the thrill of high speed. She instantly became excited, looking at Gu Chixue with surprise and delight.
Gu Chixue tilted her head and raised her chin, glancing at Ye Rou. Her expression seemed to say: [Am I not awesome, sis? Let’s see if you dare to laugh at me again!]
