Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 3
[I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but why do I feel like my goddess is really focused on Gu Chixue, that scumbag A? Everyone else is talking beside her, but she seems to constantly look at Gu Chixue?]
[I wanted to say that too! Could Ye Rou be captivated by Gu Chixue’s looks?]
[Impossible! My God Ye isn’t someone who only looks at outward appearances!]
[How can Gu Chixue possibly be worthy of Ye Rou? That’s ridiculous.]
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Zhou Qian checked the time: “It’s almost four o’clock. I checked the villa’s fridge earlier, and there are no ingredients. For our dinner, who wants to come out and buy groceries with me?”
Xie Qingcheng then added, “How about we first divide up today’s tasks? Who cooks, who buys groceries, who washes dishes? What does everyone think?”
Gu Chixue’s eyes lit up when she first heard “dinner,” and she was about to speak. However, seeing Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng vying for dominance on the very first day was quite entertaining, so she just sat back and watched their performance.
“Alright, how many people here can cook?” Zhou Qian asked.
Everyone looked around, and in the end, only Gu Chixue, Zhou Qian, and Ye Rou raised their hands.
Zhou Qian couldn’t help but feel a little secretly pleased when he saw that Ye Rou also knew how to cook. He quickly said, “Then how about Ye Rou and I cook today, and everyone else goes grocery shopping?”
Zhou Qian looked at Ye Rou as he said this, as if addressing everyone, but it was more like he was seeking Ye Rou’s opinion alone.
Xie Qingcheng secretly pouted when she saw this scene. She hadn’t expected to shoot herself in the foot. She wished she hadn’t made that suggestion.
Ye Rou heard this and first looked at the others’ reactions. After finding no one objected, she nodded and agreed.
Gu Chixue had no objections to the two of them cooking, but there was one thing she absolutely had to confirm.
“Do you two cook well?” Gu Chixue asked.
Zhou Qian chuckled at her question: “You’ll know when you taste it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.”
“Hahaha, that’s great then! I’ll be waiting for you two to feed me tonight.” Gu Chixue wore a genuinely sincere smile, and those in the live stream went wild when they saw her smiling face, shouting “Wife, love me!”
Xie Qingcheng’s expression was hard to read. After thinking for a moment, she decided she couldn’t let it go: “Well then, it must be very hard for you two to cook for six people. I’ll help you in the kitchen. Although I can’t cook, I can help you chop vegetables and wash dishes.”
A flicker of impatience crossed Zhou Qian’s eyes. He was about to refuse.
Wang Meng suddenly spoke: “Alright, Sister Cheng and I will be the assistants for chopping vegetables and washing dishes today. As for grocery shopping, we’ll leave it to Sister Gu and little brother Ranran!”
This statement effectively blocked Zhou Qian’s reason to refuse. There was nothing he could do; it had to be this way.
Gu Chixue had no objection to the grocery shopping task. It was a good opportunity to pick out the food she wanted to eat at the supermarket, which suited her perfectly.
Lin Fengran was overjoyed to be able to go grocery shopping with his idol. He looked at Gu Chixue with excitement and said, “Sister Gu, I know there’s a large chain supermarket nearby. I’ll take you there.”
“Alright. Make a list for me of what you want to eat tonight and the essential cooking utensils. We’ll take care of it,” Gu Chixue said, seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces become a bit more genuine.
Ye Rou secretly found Gu Chixue’s expression at this moment amusing. Initially, she seemed not to care about anything, but it turned out she was a foodie.
The bullet comments were also furiously scrolling at this time. The previous rivalry between the two Alphas had been clearly seen by netizens, and the audience was greatly enjoying it.
[They’re already scheming on the first day! Did you see Xie Qingcheng’s face at the beginning? It completely darkened, LOL.]
[So exciting! The clashes between the two Alphas are everywhere! Ye Rou is a hotbed of drama.]
[Did you see Gu Chixue’s eyes light up when she heard “eat”? It seems food attracts her more than the three Omegas present.]
[LOL, I even went back to check, and it’s true! Is Gu Chixue just on this show for the free food?]
Gu Chixue happily took the list from everyone and pulled Lin Fengran out to buy food. The remaining four in the villa once again fell into an awkward silence, unsure of what to say.
Ye Rou felt a bit tired at this moment. She looked at the others and said coolly, “I haven’t rested all day. I’m going back to my room to sleep for a bit. Please call me when Gu Chixue and the others return.”
Zhou Qian quickly said, “No problem, you go rest. I’ll call you when they’re back.”
Ye Rou smiled and nodded at him, then turned and left the living room.
The remaining three looked at each other, speechless. Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng both knew each other’s thoughts and intentions. As rivals, they had nothing to say to each other.
Only Wang Meng was left sitting between them. She tried to start a conversation several times, but it always died after only a few sentences.
Sigh, my heart is so tired. This was Wang Meng’s truest feeling at the moment.
Netizens, however, were delighted. They loved watching this kind of scheming and mutual dislike, where people had to pretend everything was fine and nothing was happening.
[This is too awkward! If it were me, my toes would curl up enough to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.]
[I suddenly admire them. As expected of big shots, if I’m not awkward, then you are.]
[Hahahaha, they look so funny like this.]
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Chixue and Lin Fengran finally returned, laughing and chatting. Their return seemed to inject life into the villa.
Wang Meng saw Gu Chixue as if she were a savior. She quickly scurried to the entrance, taking the bags from Gu Chixue’s hands.
She whispered to her, “I wish I had gone to the supermarket with you. Those two are just too scary.”
Gu Chixue hadn’t reacted yet. She poked her head out from the entrance into the living room and saw Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng sitting rigidly like two door gods at opposite ends of the sofa, unmoving, as if contemplating some national crisis.
This scene was truly hilarious. Gu Chixue couldn’t hold back and let out a chuckle.
The bullet comments also became more active with Gu Chixue’s return.
[Ahhhhhh, I’m dead. How can Gu Chixue, this damn woman, be both Alpha and sweet?]
[Damn it, I actually see the word ‘cute’ on a top Alpha.]
[I can handle that smile. Goddess, please come at me directly.]
Hearing the laughter, Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng both turned to look at the entrance, a hint of embarrassment unconsciously appearing on their faces. They couldn’t sit still anymore and both rose to walk towards Gu Chixue.
Zhou Qian took the remaining bags from Gu Chixue’s hands, seizing the opportunity to start a conversation: “Let me see what you two bought.”
Gu Chixue followed his lead: “Just some fruits and vegetables everyone wanted, and some snacks. Lin Fengran and I also bought some small treats to make desserts for everyone.”
Xie Qingcheng also smiled at Gu Chixue and said, “I didn’t expect a big star like you to be so skilled at cooking. It seems we’re in for a treat in the future.”
“Of course! My goddess is a treasure Alpha. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future,” Lin Fengran said, praising Gu Chixue with the expression of a devoted fan.
Everyone laughed at this. Zhou Qian teased, “Ranran, did you forget you’re also an Omega?”
To everyone’s surprise, Lin Fengran shook his head with a serious expression: “Not me. My goddess will always be my goddess. I’m not worthy of Sister Gu.”
Gu Chixue heard this and sobered her smile, half-jokingly telling Lin Fengran, “Don’t underestimate yourself. In this world, no one is unworthy of anyone else. Be yourself, and butterflies will naturally be attracted to you.”
Lin Fengran was deeply moved and grateful by Gu Chixue’s words. He came from a humble background and, after many years of hard work, finally found his footing in the financial industry. However, he sometimes lacked confidence. Today, with his idol’s encouragement, he felt that coming to this show had already been worth it.
Netizens also felt a sense of emotion upon hearing Gu Chixue’s response.
[I find Gu Chixue very gentle. She’s not as arrogant as the rumors say.]
[Yeah, everyone used to say she was a scumbag Alpha with bad character, but just those few words made me feel like she’s not that kind of person.]
[Everyone, don’t be fooled by her. Anyone can say nice things, especially on camera.]
Rarely, everyone wasn’t focused on the show itself, but rather pondered what kind of person Gu Chixue truly was.
The groceries were back. Zhou Qian volunteered to go wake Ye Rou, but before he could even finish speaking, Ye Rou was already coming downstairs.
Ye Rou had just woken up. She had changed into an elongated black T-shirt with three-quarter length denim shorts underneath, exposing her fair and slender legs directly to the air, making her even more alluring.
Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng were both stunned, and Gu Chixue even whistled inwardly. However, she dared not approach Ye Rou. The Damocles sword of the character’s ending still hung over her head. Between female charm and her life, she would definitely choose life.
Wang Meng also stared blankly at the approaching figure, unconsciously pursing her lips and swallowing.
Ye Rou looked at the dumbfounded crowd, not yet realizing what was happening, when her eyes met Gu Chixue’s playful gaze. She raised her beautiful eyebrows, her eyes asking, What’s wrong?
For some reason, Gu Chixue immediately understood Ye Rou’s meaning. She smiled and pointed to Ye Rou’s feet.
Ye Rou looked down and instantly understood. She looked at everyone with a wry smile, coughed, and walked straight into the kitchen.
[Slurp, licking the screen. Wife is mine!]
[I could seriously play with Ye Rou’s legs for a year!]
[Shameless upstairs! My wife’s legs are only for me.]
[Hahaha, look at Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng, they’re both stunned.]
[So sweet, so sweet! The eye contact between Ye Rou and Gu Chixue is killing me. I’m bringing the civil affairs bureau here. Can the two of you please get married on the spot?]
Everyone woke up from their stupor with that cough, scratching their heads and rubbing their faces, looking utterly embarrassed.
Zhou Qian’s old face also flushed red, and he stammered as he headed towards the kitchen. Xie Qingcheng saw Zhou Qian go into the kitchen and quickly followed him.
The villa’s kitchen was open-plan, directly facing the living room, so people sitting on the sofa could clearly hear conversations from the kitchen.
There was a bar counter directly in front of the kitchen where people could sit and chat with those inside.
Ye Rou was currently preparing frozen meat. This was the boiled sliced pork that Gu Chixue had ordered today. The process was quite complex, so Ye Rou chose to make this dish first.
Zhou Qian looked at Ye Rou cooking and quickly asked, “Is there anything I can help with?”
Ye Rou briefly looked around. She raised her hand to brush her long hair behind her ear and said, “There are two stovetops here. You can make the beer duck.”
“Okay, no problem,” Zhou Qian replied with a smile.
Suddenly, a figure broke Zhou Qian’s good mood. Xie Qingcheng, holding an apron, approached Ye Rou. Her nearly 1.8-meter height completely blocked the 168-cm tall Ye Rou.
Xie Qingcheng considerately whispered in Ye Rou’s ear, “Let me help you put on your apron. You don’t want oil to splash on you later.”
At this moment, Ye Rou was concentrating on slicing the meat. Hearing this, she nodded in thanks.
Zhou Qian’s eyes were practically spitting fire, but he couldn’t stop it. He could only watch helplessly as Xie Qingcheng wrapped her arms around Ye Rou’s neck and personally tied on her apron.
Gu Chixue lazily sat on the sofa, eating potato chips with her feet propped up, watching the unfolding drama in the kitchen, and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
