Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 37.1
by Little PandaPei Xuezhi drops a bombshell: “No, she only drinks O-zai now.”
Wow~!
This statement made everyone’s jaws drop, and when they looked at Fu Chaoyun again, their mouths were wide enough to swallow a whole egg.
As for Fu Chaoyun herself, standing in the spotlight…
Fu Chaoyun was completely dumbfounded!
How did her ex-girlfriend suddenly appear out of nowhere?
ใThe production team is inhuman!ใ
ใThe real drama is about to begin!ใ
ใIsn’t Fu Chaoyun part of the production team? She’s practically half the boss, right? How dare they pull such a big move without notifying the boss? Better watch out for getting fired~ (dog emoji)ใ
ใThe audacious production team, daring to mess with even the boss for ratings… Well done! (pat on shoulder)ใ
ใOld love versus new love, a battlefield… Exciting! Give us more, I’m loving it.ใ
ใWatch Pei Xuezhi’s expressionโใ
Following this comment, viewers’ attention shifted to Pei Xuezhi. They expected some drama, but Pei Xuezhi’s expression remained indifferent, leaving everyone disappointed yet impressed.
ใAs expected of you.ใ
ใLook, this is the dignity of a proper main wife!ใ
Tang Ying retreated to the side after greeting Fu Chaoyun, completely disregarding the commotion her actions had caused.
The new guests included two women and one man. The sole male gentleman made a polite gesture, then it was the second woman’s turn.
She had medium-length natural black hair.
She was very tall – noticeably so from the moment she entered. While Fu Chaoyun’s 175cm was considered tall for a female alpha, this person was even taller. Looking at her flat shoes, her actual height must be steadily over 180cm.
Tall and slim, wearing a sage green pearl-strap dress that hung perfectly on her frame, accentuating her defined features.
This must be an alpha!
But who was she here for…
Everyone was speculating this, and sure enough, during self-introductions:
“I’m Xia Shiyi, 22 years old, alpha, and I work as a model.”
Perhaps due to her profession, she spoke with minimal expression, giving off an aloof, world-weary vibe.
Suddenly, she turned toward Ni Jiaojiao, breaking the ice with a smile.
“I joined this show for Sister Jiaojiao.” Xia Shiyi tilted her head, her elegant features unexpectedly revealing a hint of playfulness, “I’m… well, a bit younger, Sister Jiaojiao, come play with me~”
While Ni Jiaojiao stood there stunned, Qi Changfeng jumped up immediately! Remembering the segment wasn’t over, he was pushed back down by Jian Yi beside him.
It was the last gentleman’s turn.
“Qin Zhenyan, also an alpha, currently running a media company. As for my age…”
He paused, “I should be the oldest one here, 33 years old.”
“Great!” Ni Jiaojiao exclaimed lightly, “Finally, I’m not the oldest one here anymore!”
Though she was willing to reveal her age and even used it to playfully tease other guests, as someone who cared about appearances, she had always been conscious about this point.
Qin Zhenyan smiled gently, “Yes, I’m here to take that burden off your shoulders.”
“Well, that’s wonderful.”
These few exchanges highlighted Qin Zhenyan’s gentle and courteous nature. At first glance, his persona seemed to overlap with Jian Yi’s, but upon closer inspection, they were completely different.
Jian Yi’s gentleness stemmed from his upbringing, personal growth, work environment, and being a beta. Due to his age, he would help others in the villa when needed, occasionally showing childish and mischievous sides.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhenyan was several years older than Jian Yi and independently managed his own company. His refinement came from his social experience. While Jian Yi might occasionally act childish, Qin Zhenyan was completely a mature man.
He knew exactly when to advance and retreat, understanding how to make others comfortable while maintaining control of the situation.
Using his gentle exterior to mask the dominant and controlling nature of an alpha.
Watching Qin Zhenyan chat so easily with Ni Jiaojiao, Qi Changfeng was burning with jealousy.
Damn!
Could it be that these newcomers were all here for Ni Jiaojiao? What was wrong with alphas these days? Why chase after a beta when there were perfectly good omegas around?
At this moment, Qi Changfeng had completely forgotten his own hot-and-cold behavior toward Ni Jiaojiao over the past week.
He looked at Qin Zhenyan and asked irritably, “You have a company to run, must be busy usually, how do you have time to join a show?”
Qin Zhenyan wasn’t wearing a suit and tie today, just casual attire, but the glasses on his nose bridge still gave him an elite aura.
“The company is in a stable development phase, with dedicated people handling everything. It runs fine without me. If I had to do everything myself, what would be the point of having a company?” Qin Zhenyan joked at the end.
Qi Changfeng: “…”
“Besidesโ”
Qin Zhenyan deliberately paused, “I’ve achieved career success, but I’m not getting any younger. It’s time to make space for planning my future marriage.”
Marriage.
He brought up this serious topic. Among the original six guests in the show, except for Ni Jiaojiao and Jian Yi, the others were too young to consider marriage. They were here just for a passionate romance.
Regardless of the outcome.
“You are quite old,” Qi Changfeng sized him up. Despite his displeasure, he had to grudgingly admit that Qin Zhenyan was a formidable rival.
He asked sarcastically, “So, have you found that person yet?”
“I have.”
“Who?!”
Qi Changfeng was on high alert, but Qin Zhenyan just smiled gently behind his glasses, his eyes slightly obscured, as if he didn’t consider Qi Changfeng worth his attention.
“Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you.”
Just as Qi Changfeng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Zhenyan added, “Your rival is Shiyi.”
Qi Changfeng: “…”
He knew this new male alpha was no good, always acting pretentious!
Suddenly, everyone’s gazes began wandering between the others, looking back and forth.
Fu Li quietly inched forward, doe-eyes fixed on the new male guest.
Initially, when Fu Li heard that Xia Shiyi’s target was Ni Jiaojiao, his heart sank heavily. Then hearing that Qi Changfeng and Qin Zhenyan were also competing for Ni Jiaojiao, anger ignited within him.
Why?
Why were these new alphas all targeting a beta? How could a beta have so many pursuers while he, a precious omega, was being ignored?
Most alphas, no matter how they played around when young, would ultimately choose an omega as their mate.
This wasn’t just a stereotype – it was because omegas had heat periods. When an alpha marked an omega during this time, their pheromones would blend, creating the most intense experience for both.
This was something that other combinations – alpha-alpha, alpha-beta, or beta-omega – could never provide, no matter how much they loved each other.
When Fu Li suddenly heard Qin Zhenyan’s denial, his hopes rose again.
The villa’s original two alphas, both Fu Chaoyun and Qi Changfeng, had explicitly rejected him and now avoided him. He dared not provoke Fu Chaoyun anymore, and Qi Changfeng was dim-witted.
Forget it.
Two new alphas had arrived. Xia Shiyi was clearly here for Ni Jiaojiao, unmovable, but there was still Qin Zhenyan…
Among the three omegas in the villa, the newcomer Tang Ying was Fu Chaoyun’s ex-girlfriend with clear intentions. Surely he was better than the dull, boring Pei Xuezhi?
Besides, Pei Xuezhi only ever interacted with Fu Chaoyun, barely knowing the others in the villa.
So…
This target must be him!
Thinking this, Fu Li’s gaze became increasingly alluring. Qin Zhenyan noticed and smiled gently at him.
Sure enough!!
But the next second, his gaze passed over Fu Li and landed on the boring Pei Xuezhi.
“Zhizhi,” he called out, his gaze through the glasses remaining substantial, still gentle and accepting, “Would you give me a chance to get to know you slowly?”
ใHoly crap! Exciting!!ใ
ใXia Shiyi competing with Qi Changfeng for Ni Jiaojiao, while Tang Ying and Qin Zhenyan are straight-up breaking up couples, taking one each!ใ
ใOne’s an ex-girlfriend, one runs his own company and speaks so logically – completely different from that idle rich kid Fu Chaoyun!ใ
ใFu Chaoyun, danger!ใ
ใThough I ship Chaoyun Muxue, I still have to say… Fight! Fight!ใ
ใ+1 Without rival support, how can we get sweet new sugar?ใ
ใCP fans are so evil~ใ
ใI still can’t accept it, Qin Zhenyan is 33, while Pei Xuezhi is only 21! A real 12-year gap, that’s a whole generation! The age gap is too big! This Qin Zhenyan clearly sees Pei Xuezhi as fresh meat, it’s an old cow eating young grass!ใ
ใAnd why does he get to call her Zhizhi right away? So creepy, ewwใ
ใI think it’s fine, everyone in the villa calls her Zhizhi, why can’t newcomers? Is this discrimination?ใ
ใNi Jiaojiao is also in her thirties, didn’t she play around with twenty-something Qi Changfeng? Everyone likes young and beautiful people, why is it wrong when the genders are reversed?ใ
ใFu Chaoyun’s dogs should stop barking.ใ
ใSo tired of this trash rich kid, still trying to redeem herself. Now there’s a strong rival competing for Pei Xuezhi, this will be good to watch.ใ
ใWatch out for a legal notice, above commenter :)ใ
The guests hadn’t even done anything yet, but the comment section was already in chaos.
Regardless, the three new guests were all qualified additions, and their arrival at the villa brought new viewpoints and heat to the show.
Qin Zhenyan smiled gently, but facing Pei Xuezhi… her face remained expressionless, cool and distant. Hearing this subtle confession, she merely gave a slight nod.
“Hello.”
Neither answering nor refusing directly.
What did this mean? Everyone looked at Fu Chaoyun, who was just frowning with her head down, not looking at anyone, her expression quite serious.
There’s drama!
Qi Changfeng quickly moved closer, very fast!
“Brother, how are you feeling right now?”
He felt it necessary to form an alliance, since clearly both he and Fu Chaoyun were about to have their relationships stolen. They should unite, form a common front against the new guests!
At this moment, Qi Changfeng had clearly forgotten his double retreat after learning Ni Jiaojiao’s age and guessing she was a beta. Just hearing someone might steal her made him urgent, acting deeply in love.
Heh.
Not just alphas, this was most people’s base nature.
Fu Chaoyun frowned deeply, extremely troubled. Finally, she sighed and made peace with herself, “I really do have such an ex-girlfriend.”
Of course not hers, but the player alpha’s. Because that player alpha had too many ex-girlfriends and replaced them so quickly, she had to dig through memories for a while to find this one, sigh.
Qi Changfeng & others: “…”
So you were just thinking about this the whole time? Didn’t hear anything else? Wait, does it take that long to remember one ex-girlfriend?
Ex-girlfriend Tang Ying: “…”
Thank you, I feel offended!
Silence fell around them, except for Pei Xuezhi, whose lips curved slightly – whether in a gentle smile or a cold smirk was unclear.
ใTakes so long to remember… Fu Chaoyun is such a player.ใ
ใSpeechless (shocked.jpg)ใ
ใIf I don’t listen to a single word, then the atmosphere here can’t hurt me!ใ
ใPei Xuezhi’s reaction is different from others, I feel like… did she anticipate this?ใ
ใAfter all, she’s the woman who plays with player alphas bushi, dare you underestimate her?ใ
Last week, the production team chose to announce the first two pieces of information on Sunday night, then sent the guests back to their daily lives Monday morning.
This week, perhaps because genders were already revealed, they chose to announce on Sunday morning and specially arranged for new guests to join. The original six guests, exhausted from a week of regular life, just wanted to rest in their rooms over the weekend, which gave the new guests a chance to communicate and integrate.
The production team had clearly arranged everything meticulously, with even the comment section remarking on their calculating and long-planned nature.
The six original guests had lived together for a week, and while they didn’t know everything about each other, they understood each other quite well. It would be difficult for the three new guests to integrate immediately.
Fortunately, these three had no conflicting targets, so they could temporarily form an alliance.
Thanks for the chapter!
