We Went Viral After Appearing on a Dating Reality Show with Movie Queen O - Chapter 37

Only then did Gu Xingyu notice that Bai Shulan had changed into a different style of pajamas—fresh, cute, and more demure than usual.

Gu Xingyu’s gaze drifted downward, revealing an entirely different vista.

The bath towel clung tightly to the base of Bai Shulan’s thighs, showcasing her long, slender legs—smooth, translucent, and jade-like. Water droplets slowly slid down her luminous, porcelain-white skin, leaving faint trails in their wake.

Finally, Gu Xingyu’s gaze settled on Bai Shulan’s delicate ankles, resembling tender lotus root joints—smooth, milky-white, and faintly tinged with pink.

Gu Xingyu’s face flushed crimson, her ears burning red as if steam were rising from her head.

Seeing Gu Xingyu’s flustered state, Bai Shulan’s lips curved into a teasing smile. “Xingyu, you finished washing up so quickly?” Her misty, peach-blossom eyes sparkled with amusement.

Though Gu Xingyu kept her head lowered, she could sense Bai Shulan’s gaze. She unconsciously licked the corner of her lips and swallowed hard. Is the air in this room suddenly so dry?

“…Um, I dropped my phone here, so I came to get it,” Gu Xingyu offered a flimsy excuse.

“Oh, then you can wait a bit. I still need to shower,” Bai Shulan replied with a knowing smile.

At the sound of her voice, Gu Xingyu looked up, her gaze lingering on Bai Shulan.

Bai Shulan’s fair complexion was flushed with a delicate pink, her skin smooth as if dusted with fine blush. Her peach-blossom eyes, veiled in a thin mist, curved into a gentle smile, their depths brimming with tenderness. Her full, dewy lips glistened, every inch of her skin radiating a captivating allure.

Her damp hair was twisted into a towel behind her head, a few stray strands clinging to her nape, their dampness accentuating the curve of her neck with irresistible allure.

Gu Xingyu found herself helplessly drawn in, her mind lingering in a daze.

Bai Shulan turned with a radiant smile and reentered the bathroom.

Gu Xingyu sank onto the sofa, her face still flushed and her mind reeling. Her heart pounded relentlessly. The soft rustling sounds from the bathroom echoed the feverish rush of her bl00d, each whisper of movement raising her body temperature.

She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, but her runaway thoughts only made her heart pound like a drum, refusing to settle. A faint lime-scented pheromone seemed to drift through the air.

After what felt like an eternity, Gu Xingyu was idly scrolling through her phone when Bai Shulan emerged from the bathroom.

She wore a black slip dress that barely reached her knees, its delicate straps tied behind her neck, looking as if it might slip off at any moment. Her long, silky black hair cascaded down her back, radiating a sensual allure. Even without makeup, her flawless complexion looked as if she had applied a perfect no-makeup look. She carried the simple slip dress with an air of elegant nobility.

As Shulan smiled faintly, her entire demeanor shifted, becoming even more charming and poised, like the rising sun, dazzling and radiant.

Gu Xingyu couldn’t help but glance at Bai Shulan a few more times, her cheeks flushing crimson. Her heartbeat seemed to grow louder, almost deafening. Remembering her earlier embarrassment in the car, she silently urged herself to calm down, forcing her gaze away and turning her head slightly to avoid looking at Bai Shulan.

“Xingyu, what time is it?” Bai Shulan asked softly.

“Just past eight,” Gu Xingyu replied, glancing up at her with evasive eyes.

“Perfect timing.” Bai Shulan turned on the television and switched to the Fruit Channel, where the Spring Love preview was still playing.

“Want to watch it from the bed?” Bai Shulan asked with a gentle smile, then walked to the bedside and lifted the covers.

The black skirt swirled around her long, pale legs like shimmering water or fluttering butterflies.

Gu Xingyu’s face flushed even deeper, her lashes trembling as she avoided direct eye contact.

“…No, I’ll just move the sofa closer. It’s the same thing,” Gu Xingyu stammered, politely declining.

“Come on up,” Bai Shulan said, climbing onto the bed. Her jade-like legs were immediately exposed to the air. Leaning against the headboard, she picked up her phone and tapped the screen, seemingly replying to messages.

Gu Xingyu moved a chair closer to the bed, facing the large LCD television.

The latest episode hadn’t updated yet. After glancing at the screen a few times, Gu Xingyu also took out her phone and began scrolling through it casually.

Finally, the clock on her screen showed 8:30 PM. Gu Xingyu immediately looked up.

She saw Shulan, after opening the first episode of the update, take a photo with her phone and then tap the screen again.

“It’s starting, Xingyu!” Shulan said with a bright smile.

The television was filled with narration introducing the show’s guests and the surrounding environment. The scene then shifted to the interior of the house.

At that moment, Gu Xingyu and Gao Pian were meeting face-to-face.

“Xingyu, come watch from the bed. Tilting your head like that will strain your neck.”

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xingyu agreed. After all this time, she had finally calmed down a bit.

She climbed onto the bed and sat beside Shulan, maintaining a respectful distance.

Turning her head, Gu Xingyu gazed at Shulan’s exquisite profile: her flawless, porcelain-like skin, slender neck, and then… her eyes drifted downward to a soft, rounded shape. Gu Xingyu’s face flushed crimson again, and she quickly averted her gaze back to the television.

Seriously? she thought. We’re just watching TV together, so why am I acting like I’m desperate and… drooling? This is so embarrassing!

Despite her efforts to calm her racing heart, the faint lime scent of her pheromones betrayed her true feelings.

Gu Xingyu’s face grew even redder, this time with shame. She stole glances at Shulan, trying to gauge whether the other woman had noticed her reaction.

“Why are you staring at me? Shouldn’t you be watching the TV?” Bai Shulan suddenly turned her head, teasingly.

“…Mm,” Gu Xingyu mumbled, quickly straightening her posture. Chen Ren was just appearing on the screen.

In that instant, her mind went completely still, all the chaotic thoughts vanishing as if wiped clean. It was more effective than a Pheromone Inhibitor.

Chen Ren’s presence resurfaced in her mind, shattering her naive hope of spending a meaningful evening with Shulan.

It mocked her self-deception.

Shulan had only invited her to watch the show out of courtesy for their years of marriage, not as an invitation to cling to false hopes and indulge in delusional fantasies.

“Time flies so fast…” Shulan remarked beside her, turning to look at her.

“…Yes, it does,” Gu Xingyu replied, forcing a smile.

“It feels like recording the show was ages ago…” Bai Shulan smiled at her.

Then she asked, “Why didn’t you talk to me back then?”

“…Well… it was just… we were filming, and I didn’t know what to say. Plus, everyone online was tearing me apart. What if I dragged you into the mess?” Gu Xingyu replied after a moment’s hesitation.

Bai Shulan tilted her head thoughtfully, then turned her gaze back to the screen.

On the screen, Gu Xingyu and Qi Meng were chatting animatedly, looking like old friends who had just met, their interaction brimming with warmth.

Bai Shulan’s eyes darkened involuntarily, her thoughts churning. She deliberately asked, “Xingyu, are you in your Rut?” She sniffed lightly, confirming the lime-scented pheromones emanating from Gu Xingyu.

Gu Xingyu’s heart raced as she looked up, her mind flooded with conflicting emotions. One moment she was drowning in Chen Ren’s melancholy, the next she was exposed by Shulan’s teasing, leaving her flustered and embarrassed.

Her heart pounded so violently that her mind went blank, leaving her utterly clueless about what to say.

“Xingyu, it’s perfectly normal for an Omega to trigger your Rut…” Bai Shulan said with a radiant smile, piercing through her facade.

Even so, this is so embarrassing…

Gu Xingyu’s cheeks flushed crimson, and she remained silent, her face burning red.

Once exposed, she completely lost control. Her bl00d surged wildly, her thoughts scattered, her heart hammered against her ribs, and her gaze involuntarily locked onto Shulan.

“Do you want me to help you?” Bai Shulan asked with a bewitching smile, like a seductive night enchantress, full of allure.

Gu Xingyu swallowed hard, her voice hoarse. “…Yes.” She struggled internally for a moment, but it was futile. Her eyes gradually glazed over as she stared intently at Bai Shulan, her round almond eyes filled with longing.

“Does asking for help… require offering something in return?” Bai Shulan’s seductive words hung in the air.

Before she could finish, Gu Xingyu leaned in and kissed those full, pink lips, urgently and passionately.

The scents of lime and red wine pheromones filled the air, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

Gu Xingyu leaned down, one hand gripping the back of Bai Shulan’s head while the other slowly slid down to grasp her slender waist, her palm registering the warm, soft touch.

In the cramped space between them, the air grew thin. Their noses brushed, breaths mingled, and the temperature rose to a feverish heat.

Bai Shulan’s lashes fluttered as she lifted her gaze. Her peach blossom eyes, like pools of spring water, were filled with Gu Xingyu’s reflection, veiled in a hazy, dreamlike mist that stirred a tender protectiveness, a desire to crush her into her very bones.

On the wide television screen, Qi Meng was making her debut, wearing an outfit from the same collection as Gu Xingyu’s. Her sweet smile radiated as she walked straight toward Gu Xingyu.

Gu Xingyu leaned down and captured Qi Meng’s moist, crimson lips, gently licking them before launching a full-fledged assault. She pried open Qi Meng’s teeth, their tongues entwining in a warm, wet embrace, each drawing out the other’s essence.

When the kiss ended, Gu Xingyu’s hand slowly moved to tug at the delicate ribbon of Qi Meng’s dress. But the knot was tangled, refusing to come undone. Frustrated, she finally yanked it apart with a sharp tug.

Kiss after kiss rained down on every inch of Qi Meng’s skin, like vibrant colors splashed across a milky-white mural, transforming it into a dazzling, seductive masterpiece.

The chatter on the television grew increasingly noisy, now showing the group gathered around a table by Heartspring Lake, eating and chatting casually. The scene was fresh and lively, both joyful and bittersweet.

Meanwhile, the couple’s passionate moans and soft gasps were completely drowned out by the television’s clamor.

The mingling scents of lime and rose pheromones filled the air, growing richer and more intense. The Freud Roses on the coffee table subtly infused their sweet, seductive fragrance into the mix.
