Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 11

【Haha, she’s getting anxious, she’s getting anxious!】
Pei Xuezhi turned her head to steal a glance at her;
Fu Li hung his head, with a hint of disappointment visible on his face;
Qi Changfeng gave Fu Chaoyun a meaningful look, seemingly very satisfied with her behavior of supporting him.
Fu Chaoyun: “……”
In the end, the grouping remained as it was at the beginning.
The villa was pre-installed with cameras, so the production team only needed to monitor from backstage, but when filming outdoors, the camera crew had to follow along.
The supermarket wasn’t empty at around ten in the morning.
Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi were beautiful, the kind that stood out from the crowd like cranes among chickens (a traditional Chinese idiom meaning to stand out prominently), especially with several cameramen carrying large equipment following behind them.
Wherever they walked, they could hear people around them discussing.
“Are celebrities filming a show here?”
“Are these two from a new idol group or girl group? I don’t seem to recognize them…”
“…”
A young girl nearby kept staring at the two of them, hesitating. When her mother finished selecting toilet paper, she noticed and gave her daughter a tiger mom slap on the back (a common gesture of stern parenting in Chinese culture).
“What are you thinking about? Have you looked in the mirror at yourself? Do you think they’d even notice someone like you?” The auntie also glanced their way, “I think those two look quite good together.”
“Mom!”
The girl, nearly suffering internal injuries from her own mother’s slap, gave her mother a resentful look and said, “I was just thinking about asking for their autographs…”
Even though she didn’t recognize them now, what if they became famous later?
The auntie’s expression changed instantly, “What are you waiting for then? Hurry up!”
The daughter: “…”
Along the way, there were people who wanted to approach them, but these two were too stunning in appearance with an overwhelming aura, that no one dared to actually follow through.
Now that the supermarket auntie was pulling her daughter forward, Fu Chaoyun heard their request and laughed, “We’re not really celebrities, we’re just filming a variety show.”
【Hahaha!】
【Fu Chaoyun: Is it my fault for being too good-looking?】
【I must say, her smile is really beautiful, kind of sweet!】
“What kind of show are you filming?” The auntie asked, glancing at the cameras.
“A dating reality show.”
Though Fu Chaoyun usually had that “putting on sunglasses and not caring about anyone” attitude (a Chinese expression describing an aloof personality), once she started communicating with people, she was quite approachable, especially when the corners of her eyes curved up in a smile, making her seem quite friendly.
【Fu Chaoyun’s people skills are so strong, she can even chat with the supermarket auntie.】
【At this point, we can completely rule out Fu Chaoyun being an alpha, this woman who likes to pretend to be an omega while being a beta!】
【Be bold, maybe she’s an omega?】
When the auntie heard this, she also laughed, “Oh, I understand this! I watch these shows at home! So you’re here for a government-funded blind date!”
“That’s pretty much what it is.”
“Oh ho, so is this person next to you the one you’re meant to match with?”
Fu Chaoyun’s expression instantly became a bit awkward, she looked to the side—
In complete contrast to her, throughout the entire conversation with the auntie, Pei Xuezhi hadn’t spoken a word, maintaining her characteristic frost-maiden demeanor.
“No,” Pei Xuezhi’s clear, ethereal voice spoke up, “The show just started, we were assigned to do tasks together.”
The auntie and her daughter turned their heads in unison, and upon seeing Pei Xuezhi’s expression, they understood everything.
In the end, the girl still got both of their autographs, and before leaving, the warm-hearted auntie patted Fu Chaoyun’s arm to encourage her.
“Good luck, I’m rooting for you two! How does that saying go? A fierce omega shouldn’t fear an alpha’s pursuit. Put in more effort, when you two stand together, there’s only one word for it—perfect match!”
【Hahahaha!】
【Yay~ I’m shipping the same CP as the auntie!】
【Thanks for the enthusiastic guidance from the supermarket auntie, Fu Chaoyun better take notes! This is all wisdom from experience!】
【Charge forward duck! Win Pei Xuezhi’s heart soon!】 (chong ya – ‘charge duck’ is a popular Chinese internet slang expression for encouragement)
After Fu Chaoyun bid farewell to the auntie, she turned back to see Pei Xuezhi and felt a bit awkward, “Um… I was just joking around with the auntie.”
“I know.”
Pei Xuezhi’s crystal-clear eyes looked at her, as if trying to discern something, and finally spoke, “You’re not my type.”
Fu Chaoyun: “……”
There was no need to be that straightforward.
The atmosphere instantly became even more awkward, and before Fu Chaoyun could respond, Pei Xuezhi shifted her gaze away again.
“Let’s go.”
As if nothing had just happened.
The danmu exploded! (danmu refers to scrolling comments on video platforms)
【????】
【What does Pei Xuezhi mean? The show just started, and she’s already eliminating Fu Chaoyun?】
【No way, I just invested everything in this beautiful couple’s stock, I can’t accept them having a bad ending!!!】
【I don’t care, I’m shipping them anyway!】
【Fu Chaoyun, show some spirit! Hmph, go ahead and be proud today, Pei Xuezhi, in the future you’ll end up like all other alphas in the wife-chasing crematorium!】 (wife-chasing crematorium is a popular web novel term describing the painful process of pursuing a loved one)
【Heart-piercing pain, standing overnight downstairs, stomach pain leading to hospitalization, red-eyed pressing against the wall to kiss but getting slapped instead… ah ah ah I’m a soil dog and I love it, gkd gkd!】 (soil dog is internet slang for someone who enjoys dramatic romance plots, gkd means ‘get on with it’)
The two walked to the vegetable section.
“What should we buy?” Pei Xuezhi asked, after all, since they were assigned as a team, they needed to discuss things.
“Whatever you like,” Fu Chaoyun’s mood wasn’t very high.
Her interest in Pei Xuezhi was just attraction at first sight, and she wasn’t necessarily truly fond of her yet. After learning Pei Xuezhi’s identity, she quickly dismissed these good thoughts, but hearing such a direct rejection still made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Fu Chaoyun thought about the original story.
Actually, the scumbag alpha wasn’t that bad at the beginning. Initially, she fell in love with Pei Xuezhi at first sight and seriously pursued her for a while, but Pei Xuezhi remained completely unmoved, which led to the forced love story later.
It seemed Pei Xuezhi never liked her type, so although being clear about it from the start was somewhat cruel, it was better than keeping someone’s hopes up.
Thinking this way, Fu Chaoyun’s mood improved a bit, and she tried to lighten the awkward atmosphere, “We don’t know what everyone likes to eat yet… Let’s buy what you like, get a variety but not too much. We’ll probably come out to buy vegetables daily, and even though the villa has a refrigerator, food won’t stay fresh if stored too long.”
Pei Xuezhi took the conversation lifeline, nodding, “Okay.”
【Our Yunyun is so domestic.】
【Fu Chaoyun is too nice.】
【Pei Xuezhi looks so serious picking vegetables, hahaha are all alphas such kitchen novices?】
【Hello, yes indeed.】
The danmu started playfully, but gradually noticed something wasn’t right—
【Wait, are these two not going to communicate at all?】
【Each picking their own?】
【Are you kidding me, sir? I didn’t camp in this livestream room early morning just to watch you two pick vegetables!】
【What’s so fascinating about these vegetables?!】
【Everyone quick, go to the other stream, Qi Changfeng has been flirting with Ni Jiaojiao the whole time, it’s so sweet!】
No matter how the livestream audience wailed or threatened to switch streams, Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi just kept selecting their own vegetables without interfering with each other.
Although Pei Xuezhi couldn’t cook, she wasn’t stupid and could at least manage to pick some vegetables.
She kept the shopping cart with her, picking and pushing along. Fu Chaoyun selected a few items and would go over to toss them in the cart to weigh later, while also picking dried goods like mushrooms and black fungus from the nearby shelves.
【The livestream audience is complaining that you two are so boring together.】 The system reminded her.
“Hmph.” Fu Chaoyun had no patience for it, “If you hadn’t threatened me to join this show, they wouldn’t have to watch such a boring program.”
System: 【……】
“You should apologize to all the viewers!”
【…Sorry.】
While Fu Chaoyun claimed this victory in the host-versus-system battle, Pei Xuezhi pushed the cart forward again.
【Danger! Danger!—】
Suddenly, Fu Chaoyun heard the system’s piercing warning in her head. She instinctively looked up to see a fully loaded shopping cart that seemed to have lost control, heading straight towards them.
It was loaded with two bags of rice and three large containers of cooking oil – that weight was no joke!
Along with someone shouting “Get out of the way!”, Fu Chaoyun took large strides toward Pei Xuezhi, grabbing the cart from her with one hand while pulling her away with the other.
With a pull and a hook, the beauty’s slender waist fell into her arm, held quite firmly in her embrace.
Fu Chaoyun’s other hand braced against the cart.
With a bang, that out-of-control shopping cart collided with it, but Fu Chaoyun barely moved, while the runaway cart shook several times, dropping some items and retreating backward.
The accident was averted.
Fu Chaoyun looked down at the person in her arms.
A beauty in embrace, their bodies touching.
Fu Chaoyun could clearly feel the delicate softness of the other’s waist, warm with body heat, and a faint trace of fragrance.
Light yet alluring.
The earlier pull had caused Pei Xuezhi’s long hair to scatter over one shoulder, and from Fu Chaoyun’s angle, she could clearly see the other’s nape.
Snow-white, delicate, elegant.
Under that thin layer of skin and countless capillaries lay the omega’s most vulnerable and sensitive gland, if she were to just like this, just bite down right now…
…
Around them, that bewitching fragrance seemed to grow stronger…
Having just faced danger, Fu Chaoyun’s expression remained tense, her face showing little emotion, her striking and bold features displayed to their fullest advantage.
She seemed to be glowing!
Her amber-glass eyes showed a contrasting gentle concern, and though the gaze was subtle, it completely took in the other’s features—for a moment, you seemed to become her everything, thoroughly cherished by her…
Like an enchanting demon in love.
“Are you alright?”
woooo ahhh very A
AAAAAAAHHHHH
