Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 5
Gu Chixue’s heart skipped a beat for a moment. Her jade-like, delicate nose instinctively twitched until the scent, once again transmitted from her sense of smell to her brain, jolted her awake.
Ye Rou is truly a temptress, she thought, wanting to cry without tears. It’s not that I’m weak; it’s simply that the enemy is too alluring!
Gu Chixue subtly shifted to the side, straightened her back, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and looked at everyone with a serious expression: “Come on, everyone, let’s raise a toast to our gathering and our first day in the cottage!”
Everyone also pretended that nothing had happened earlier. They all smiled, raised their wine glasses, and cheered, “Cheers!”
The previously tense atmosphere, filled with gunpowder, was swept away amidst the clinking of glasses.
[Hahahahaha, I didn’t realize Zhou Qian, this thick-browed guy, was such a sarcastic old fox!]
[I think those two haven’t recognized their true enemy. Shouldn’t Gu Chixue be their biggest threat now?]
[What about Gu Chixue? She hasn’t tried to stick to Ye Rou. All day, she’s just been eating, drinking, and having fun in the cottage. She doesn’t seem like she’s here to date at all.]
[Exactly! Ye Rou’s fans, don’t try to stir up trouble!]
This bullet comment, like a warrior charging into battle, instantly ignited a fierce war in the comment section as fans of Ye Rou and Gu Chixue clashed relentlessly.
Gu Chixue was unaware of the situation outside the screen. She was holding her small bowl, oblivious to the outside world, focusing on her meal, eating with a visibly happy expression.
Sometimes, when she got excited while eating, her body would unconsciously sway from side to side. Anyone could tell that she was in a very good mood.
At the dining table, everyone initially chatted and laughed, small-talking. Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng often subtly tried to engage Ye Rou in conversation, occasionally taking veiled jabs at each other.
Wang Meng’s mind constantly replayed ways to attract Zhou Qian’s attention, but to no avail. She couldn’t help but pout, feeling a bit deflated, and even looked at Ye Rou with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Lin Fengran, as an Omega, neither fought nor competed. He simply gazed at Gu Chixue eating with a motherly smile, and occasionally a flicker of fondness crossed his eyes. His inner self roared, [Who on earth has been mistreating my goddess so much? Look how hungry the child is!]
As time passed, everyone slowly stopped eating. The chatter gradually ceased, and all eyes turned to the figure still diligently eating.
Ye Rou looked at Gu Chixue’s cherry-red lips, now glistening with oil. While she found it amusing, she also felt a hint of envy and curiosity. [Doesn’t she worry about getting fat eating like this?]
Gu Chixue, in between bites, noticed everyone looking at her. A big question mark popped up in her small head. [Wh-what’s wrong?]
With the strong reaction ability honed in the apocalypse, Gu Chixue instantly reached a conclusion.
She decisively put down her chopsticks, turned to Ye Rou and Zhou Qian, and gave a thumbs-up. A brilliant smile bloomed on her exquisite face: “The food you made is simply amazing!” To add credibility to her words, she even vigorously nodded her head while speaking.
A face full of high-class elegance combined with such a charmingly naive expression and action made the entire place erupt in laughter.
When people first met Gu Chixue, they only felt her powerful aura, and her half-smiling face somehow gave off a sense of distance, making them hesitant to approach.
But seeing her now, it was as if a saint from heaven had transformed into the girl next door. Everyone’s hearts were effortlessly captivated by that smile.
Ye Rou’s anxious mood, which had been building due to Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng, was instantly soothed by this smile. Her usually calm face was now filled with a radiant smile: “Just eat. Seeing you eat so happily is the greatest encouragement to the chefs.”
“Mm-hmm, I can finish all of this by myself!” Gu Chixue held her bowl with one hand and playfully punched her shoulder with a clenched fist in the other, as if saying, “Just watch me!”
[AW SL (Oh my god, I’m dead), this is too cute!!!]
[Let her eat, let her eat! How long has my daughter been without food? Mama’s heart aches.]
[I’m dying of laughter. Gu Chixue looks so proud of being able to eat so much. Do you even remember you’re a celebrity, hey?!]
[New fan here! I came to watch people fall in love, but now all I can think about is Gu Chixue eating.]
[I’ve already ordered takeout. Who would’ve thought I’d be watching an eating show on a dating show?]
After eating their fill, everyone gathered on the rattan chairs on the rooftop to cool off, some standing, some sitting. Gu Chixue lazily rocked in the single rocking chair, looking into the distance, lost in thought. Her eyes held a faint nonchalance and a subtle, imperceptible melancholy.
The evening breeze brought a hint of coolness, gently caressing everyone’s faces. In the distant sky, stars twinkled, and moonlight spilled onto the earth like a vast curtain.
Ye Rou, at some point, noticed the lost look in Gu Chixue’s eyes. Her beautiful brows furrowed, puzzled. How can this Alpha’s aura be so contradictory? The lively, charmingly naive expression she had while eating is now replaced by this solitary, desolate look. Which appearance is her true self?
Before Ye Rou could ponder a conclusion, she heard Zhou Qian’s voice: “Everyone, with such good weather, it’s too boring just sitting here. How about we play Truth or Dare?”
The first to respond was Wang Meng. She excitedly raised her hand: “Yes, yes! It’s perfect since everyone has nothing to do now. It’s a good way to pass the time.”
Gu Chixue, who had been daydreaming, heard the voice and looked back at Zhou Qian, who was trying to control the rhythm, and then at the eager Xie Qingcheng. An interested expression appeared on her face.
“Count me in,” Gu Chixue stood up and walked towards the group with a smile.
Ye Rou and Lin Fengran exchanged glances. Ye Rou shrugged: “Then let’s play.”
“Good!” Zhou Qian shouted excitedly, getting into the mood. He cast a look at Xie Qingcheng, as if sharpening a knife, seemingly saying, [Little one, watch how I deal with you!]
Xie Qingcheng smirked at the sight. A faintly decaying nanmu scent seeped from her, an pheromone only detectable between Alphas, signaling a challenge. But such a signal should not have appeared in this situation.
Zhou Qian smelled the nauseating scent in the air, narrowed his eyes, and bared a terrifying, ferocious grin. His body trembled, and a strong, pungent whiskey scent burst forth from him. His usually handsome face rapidly flushed with the surge of adrenaline.
The chaotic pheromones quickly polluted the fresh air, making it messy. Gu Chixue frowned in dissatisfaction, instantly losing interest in the game.
“Tsk, you two are going too far,” Gu Chixue’s soft voice boomed in the ears of the two Alphas who were already hyped up. A subtly acidic white grape sparkling wine, mixed with the unique clear scent of hazelnut, instantly filled the entire area.
The powerful pressure of the triple-S class pheromone instantly enveloped the two. Zhou Qian’s body stiffened on the spot, and his slightly reddened eyes sharply turned to Gu Chixue.
But at the moment of eye contact, Zhou Qian felt as if he were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of bl00d. Gu Chixue’s figure continuously grew larger in his vision until it filled his entire world.
Xie Qingcheng also stood frozen on the spot, not daring to move, her body trembling slightly, cold sweat dripping from the tip of her nose. Her eyes were fixed on Gu Chixue, terrified that at any moment, the executioner’s raised guillotine would fall upon her neck.
At this moment, the chaotic pheromones on the rooftop had long been suppressed by Gu Chixue, and only the sweet scent of white grape sherry wine remained in the air.
Ye Rou and the others had not yet stood up when they heard a low growl from Gu Chixue. They looked at the three unmoving figures with confusion. Lin Fengran scratched his head blankly and hesitantly asked, “Wh-what happened?”
Gu Chixue expressionlessly withdrew her pheromones, turned to Lin Fengran, and smiled: “Nothing, they were just messing around.”
“Ah, so are we still playing Truth or Dare?” Wang Meng asked, full of questions.
“I’m fine with it, as long as those two are okay,” Gu Chixue said, shrugging innocently.
Only Ye Rou, looking at Gu Chixue, who was acting as normal, had a knowing look in her eyes. She gave Gu Chixue a charming side-eye, as if to say, [I’ve already seen through you, don’t try to fool me.]
“[Shh, don’t say it out loud,]” Gu Chixue responded with her eyes.
[What happened? Why are Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng standing there without moving?]
[Wow, is there really something going on between Gu Chixue and Ye Rou? Look at that eye contact they just had, so alluring.]
[I’m an Alpha. I heard Gu Chixue say “you two are going too far.” If I’m not mistaken, Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng probably issued a challenge. This kind of mode, which should only appear in an arena, is explicitly prohibited in the outside world.]
[Then why didn’t they fight?]
[Don’t forget Gu Chixue is a top Alpha! She definitely suppressed Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng!]
[Challenging each other on a show? Did those two Alphas hit their heads?]
[Ahhhhh, regardless of challenging or not, don’t you think Gu Chixue and Ye Rou look really good together?]
[Good for nothing! Gu Chixue, that scumbag Alpha, will never be worthy of my goddess!]
The production team also reacted at this moment. The director’s voice came through the villa’s intercom: “Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng, please come down to the control room. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Xie Qingcheng sobered up. Feeling a bit ashamed of her actions just now, she walked over to Gu Chixue with a difficult expression and apologized: “I’m sorry. Thank goodness you stopped us. I got too carried away for a moment.”
Zhou Qian also walked over, his face still showing traces of fear. He glanced at Gu Chixue fearfully, then lowered his head, saying in shame, “Thank you. Otherwise, we really wouldn’t have been able to control the situation today.”
“It’s nothing. Just don’t get so easily provoked in the future, and control your emotions,” Gu Chixue rubbed her small hands, her fox-like charming eyes smiling brightly.
Lin Fengran also chuckled when he saw Gu Chixue’s smile.
As this incident passed, Zhou Qian and Xie Qingcheng were also warned by the director. They emerged from the control room with troubled expressions. Their despondent figures were clearly seen by Gu Chixue, who was standing at the bedroom window, her eyes curved in amusement.
Ding-dong! Everyone’s phones rang. It was the production team announcing a task.
[Everyone must anonymously send a “heart-fluttering” message to one opposite-s3x person each night. The next day will begin the individual date segment. Please come to the control room tomorrow morning to receive your individual task cards.]
Looking at the task on her phone, Gu Chixue pouted and groaned inwardly, [Please, please don’t let me have a solo date with Ye Rou!!] She raised her hand in distress, hooking the long hair that had fallen by her ear. Her fair, beautiful face became even more captivating under the moonlight.
