We Went Viral After Appearing on a Dating Reality Show with Movie Queen O - Chapter 27

Gu Xingyu had already decided to give the roses to Shulan, but how should she write the letter?

Staring at the blank page, Gu Xingyu couldn’t bring herself to pick up the pen, her expression conflicted. Should she write to Ye Yin, who had just arrived, to take care of her old friend? Or should she write to Shulan? Their date today had gone quite well…

Gu Xingyu twirled the ballpoint pen between her slender fingers, spinning it smoothly around and around as it danced across her fingertips. Finally, a smile lit up her face as she leaned over the desk and began to write earnestly.

Meanwhile, Qian Mian, alone in her room, picked up her pen without hesitation and wrote swiftly, her bold, flamboyant handwriting reflecting her own spirited personality.

Ye Yin and Qi Meng, also in their room, lingered without writing, chatting casually.

Qi Meng asked curiously, “Yinyin, who are you planning to write to?”

“…Hmm, I think we’re probably writing to the same person,” Ye Yin replied honestly.

“Xingyu? That makes sense, since you two are old friends…” Qi Meng turned away, her smile fading instantly, her eyes filled with contemplation and a hint of melancholy.

Yet her face remained utterly devoid of emotion.

“…It’s not about that,” Ye Yin explained evenly, neither exaggerating nor downplaying. “Xingyu was very kind to me today, and I wanted to express my gratitude.”

“…Oh…” Qi Meng replied, at a loss for words. The atmosphere instantly shifted from cheerful to awkward.

After this exchange, Qi Meng found herself unable to write. She stared blankly at the blank letter paper before her, lost in thought.

Soon, she left with her letter and the rose, leaving Ye Yin alone in the room.

Chen Ren and Gao Pian, who were in the living room, had already finished writing their letters and dropped them into the mailbox.

Bai Shulan started writing early but paused frequently to ponder, only completing her letter much later before finally depositing it.

After posting her letter, she ran into Qi Meng, who was also there to mail hers.

Even in the dim night lighting, Bai Shulan could sense Qi Meng’s dejected mood from afar. It was like a vibrant flower blooming brightly during the day, only to wilt and droop by nightfall.

“Qi Meng,” Bai Shulan called out, stopping her since they had crossed paths.

“Shulan,” Qi Meng replied, initially wanting to turn around and circle back later. Meeting Bai Shulan alone always felt a bit awkward.

“…You’re here to mail a letter too?” Bai Shulan’s expression softened completely, her features appearing gentler under the dim light.

“…Yes,” Qi Meng replied. Seeing Bai Shulan take a few steps forward to face her directly, she quickly stepped forward and dropped her letter into the mailbox labeled “Gu Xingyu.”

“What’s wrong? You seem unhappy,” Bai Shulan asked bluntly. Qi Meng’s emotions were so transparent on her face that it was impossible to ignore.

“…No… Just so-so,” Qi Meng sighed softly, lowering her head as she walked closer to Bai Shulan.

“Because of Xingyu?” Bai Shulan’s direct question stunned everyone.

Qi Meng had never expected such bluntness. She had assumed their encounter would be a brief exchange of pleasantries.

“…I guess so,” Qi Meng finally replied after a long pause.

As they walked and talked, they reached the courtyard and sat beneath a large, well-placed parasol. The translucent table and chairs were adorned with a vibrant bouquet of flowers, and the surrounding trees and blossoms created a picturesque scene.

“Have you… considered getting to know her better?” Bai Shulan suggested softly.

“…Hmm… Not for now…” Qi Meng replied thoughtfully.

The fragrant, colorful flowers around them carried a sweet scent with a hint of bitterness.

“What do you think of Xingyu?” Bai Shulan asked casually, her tone light as if merely listening to someone else’s troubles.

“…I think she’s quite nice,” Qi Meng said quietly, her gaze unwavering as she met Bai Shulan’s eyes.

“…Mm, alright then…” Bai Shulan had nothing more to say.

A cool breeze swept through, carrying the fresh scent of grass, making the air feel particularly refreshing.

“…What about you?” Qi Meng asked, lifting her gaze to look directly at Bai Shulan.

Bai Shulan smiled faintly. After a long pause, her delicate red lips parted as if she were about to speak.

But they were interrupted by an unexpected guest.

“What are you two talking about?” Chen Ren asked, appearing out of nowhere.

Ahhh, who are they writing letters to? I can’t guess at all, except for the obvious ones like Ye Yin and Qi Meng…

I never imagined Ye Yin would write to Gu Xingyu… Aren’t Chen Ren and Qian Mian better options?

Ahhh, what is Shulan going to talk to Qi Meng about? Could it be about thatscumbag Alpha Gu Xingyu?! Shulan-jie, you can’t be serious about her, right?!

Holy sh1t, are these two having a heart-to-heart? Isn’t it obvious they’re rivals for Gu Xingyu’s affection?!

Exactly! Qi Meng didn’t even talk much with Ye Yin earlier…

Damn it! Bai Shulan Chen Ren! What are you doing?!

Bai Shulan leaned back in her chair and smiled at them.

“You two talk. I’ll give Chen Ren my seat.”

“Okay,” Chen Ren said, smoothly taking the offered seat. The darkness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a faint smile as she gazed at Qi Meng across the table.

Bai Shulan entered the room and immediately saw Gu Xingyu sitting in the living room.

Her eyes lit up instantly at the sight of Bai Shulan, as if she had been waiting for her. Her round, almond-shaped eyes were utterly adorable.

“Shulan,” Gu Xingyu called out, waving cheerfully.

“Xingyu,” Bai Shulan replied, hurrying over to sit beside her.

Ye Yin and Gao Pian, who were also in the room, greeted them warmly.

Gu Xingyu’s gaze drifted toward the roses beside Bai Shulan, and she reached out to touch them, but stopped mid-motion.

“Xingyu, why don’t we go chat in my room?” Bai Shulan asked with a gentle smile.

“…Okay,” Gu Xingyu replied, her fair cheeks flushing pink as she obediently followed Bai Shulan.

Left in the living room, Gao Pian and Ye Yin exchanged knowing smiles, while Ye Yin lowered her gaze, lost in thought.

“To my room?” Bai Shulan asked casually as she led the way.

“…Ah? Sure, whatever you want…” Gu Xingyu’s ears burned instantly, her neck flushing crimson.

Even at home, she rarely entered Bai Shulan’s room—almost never. The few hazy memories she had were from times when she was in heat or when Bai Shulan was in rut. Those moments had been so intense that she barely remembered them.

Gu Xingyu couldn’t even remember what Bai Shulan’s room looked like, and she rarely ventured in uninvited. Shulan, on the other hand, had visited Gu Xingyu’s room more often.

She never imagined she’d be entering Shulan’s room during a live broadcast.

“Come in,” Bai Shulan said, pulling the door open with a radiant smile. “I left my roses in here.”

“…Um… okay…” Gu Xingyu stood awkwardly in the doorway, then hesitantly asked, “Is it okay?”

“Of course! No problem at all. Come on in,” Bai Shulan replied cheerfully, settling on the bed and beckoning Gu Xingyu over.

Her peach blossom eyes were glistening and tender, as if she were flirting with Gu Xingyu.

Gu Xingyu’s face flushed instantly as she pulled up a chair and sat across from her.

“I’ve noticed…” Bai Shulan said, gazing directly at Gu Xingyu with a mischievous smile, deliberately pausing.

“…Noticed what?” Gu Xingyu waited for a long moment before finally looking up curiously.

That one glance froze her in place, and she immediately lowered her head.

Bai Shulan’s face radiated a brilliant smile, her red lips curving into a seductive smirk, and her eyes brimming with tenderness. The sight was mesmerizing, almost stealing Gu Xingyu’s soul…

Shulan had never shown such tenderness and affection before, almost as if she were drunk… But Xingyu had never seen her drunk either… Could this be her heat cycle?

After a moment of mental blankness, Gu Xingyu’s mind raced with wild speculation, grasping at every possible explanation.

“I’ve noticed you get embarrassed easily,” Bai Shulan said with a gentle smile, her tone light and breezy.

See? Xingyu’s already flustered, showing that shy side again.

“……” Gu Xingyu slowly raised a hand to pat her cheek, offering no response.

“Where’s your rose? Did you give it to someone else?” Bai Shulan asked with a soft smile, changing the subject.

If Xingyu keeps blushing like this, we’ll never get through this segment tonight.

“……Ah, no,” Gu Xingyu replied, glancing up tentatively before quickly averting her gaze. “We agreed, remember?”

Gu Xingyu immediately held out the roses. “Shulan, these are for you.” Her gaze darted nervously, yet kept drifting back to Bai Shulan’s face.

“Okay, thank you,” Bai Shulan said, rising to retrieve a vase from the bedside table. She took out the roses, one of which was noticeably more withered than the others.

“Huh?” Gu Xingyu accepted the roses, staring blankly at the vibrant and withered blooms in her hands. She looked up at Bai Shulan, a hint of shock in her eyes.

“Thank you… Shulan, is this one from yesterday?” she asked hesitantly.

“Yes, we talked about it today, remember?” After realizing the misunderstanding last night, Bai Shulan had retrieved the roses from the trash.

“Keep it a secret, okay?” Bai Shulan winked.

“Okay, thank you,” Gu Xingyu replied, a wave of warmth surging through her. She couldn’t quite articulate what this feeling was.

A flicker of hope ignited within her, mingled with uncertain speculation… But… but she could never measure up to Chen Ren, could she?

“Alright, go on now,” Bai Shulan said, rising and giving her a radiant smile.

As Qi Meng returned, she happened to run into Gu Xingyu emerging from Bai Shulan’s room. Her pupils instantly contracted sharply.

Holy sh1t, what’s going on here?! Gu Xingyu, that scumbag Alpha, just came out of the Goddess’s room?! Damn it, we haven’t even seen the Goddess’s room properly!

Ahhh?! Didn’t we just see Chen Ren and Qi Meng together a moment ago? How did Gu Xingyu suddenly end up in Shulan-jie’s room?!

Chen Ren and Qi Meng actually look pretty good together… Chen Ren, you gave flowers to Qi Meng?!

Wait, what? Bai Shulan has Gu Xingyu, and Gu Xingyu has Bai Shulan? When did these two get together? Just from that interaction at the dessert shop today?!

Holy crap, this scene… Gu Xingyu, what are you doing?! You dared to enter Bai Shulan’s room?! Oh my god?!

Shulan, be careful of Gu Xingyu! Ahhhhh! Could the flowers Gu Xingyu is holding be from Bai Shulan?!

Oh my god, this really feels like walking in on an affair… Qi Meng’s face has turned green…
