Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 9

Fu Chaoyun: …Thanks, I’m “deflated” (meaning feeling let down or disappointed).
She finally understood why the system insisted she join this show.
So, it turns out they already knew Pei Xuezhi would come, and they just wanted her to “stick around like a shadow” (meaning to be constantly by someone’s side) for 24 hours as a bootlicker.
At this moment, Fu Chaoyun only regretted why she was so slack before. If only she had taken a look at the list, even just a glance… it wouldn’t be as awkward as it is now!
【You wouldn’t be able to back out even if you knew.】
The system tried to comfort her, since it was the one that issued the task, saying, “【Charge ahead~ for the glory of the Fu family!】
“…”
【Become the richest by starting from a romance show】, the system said sincerely, 【You can do it!】
Fu Chaoyun suppressed countless curse words in her heart, took a deep breath, and said, “Listen to me, thank you…”
Everything happened so suddenly.
The villa was already filled with cameras set up by the production team, and the live broadcast of the show started as soon as the first guest appeared. Now the “bullet screen” (a feature where viewers’ comments scroll across the screen) was exploding—
【OMG!】
【Where did the production team find these amateur guests? Each one looks so good!】
【Especially this Fu Chaoyun and the one before, Pei Xuezhi. They’re so attractive! Their looks are top-tier even in the entertainment industry!】
【They make such a good pair! Ahhhh, I’m totally shipping this couple!】
【I’m going all in on the two beauties’ stock! I’m buying it out!】
【Wait… The production team just showed their faces and names, without revealing their height, age, or gender. They both have strong vibes, and if they’re both ‘A’ types… it could definitely end in ‘BE’ (bad ending)】
【What era is this? Does it have to be AO? Those who discriminate against same-sex couples are such relics! They’ve really gone bad!】
【A! A! Love! I! Can! Too!】
【I was just casually watching to pass the time, but now I’m hooked on this show!】
【But hey, check out the other guests too… They’re not bad either, really stand out among regular folks…】
【Can’t help it, these two are just too perfect together, they match so well, I can’t take my eyes off them!】
【…Wait, don’t you think Fu Chaoyun has been looking at Pei Xuezhi for a bit too long? She’s not even glancing at anyone else!】
【Whoa, love at first sight? After meeting you, my eyes can’t hold anyone else—makes it even more exciting! Shashasha~】
“Do you… know each other?” another guest noticed this and interrupted.
Fu Chaoyun remembered how the scumbag A made a scene while pestering Pei Xuezhi. In today’s world of transparent information, who knows when that might get dug up online? She didn’t want to contradict herself.
Fu Chaoyun pulled her gaze back and vaguely brushed it off, “We’ve met a few times.”
“What a coincidence!”
Pei Xuezhi also looked away, staying silent.
Quite the actress, Fu Chaoyun thought, no wonder she’s the female lead.
A good-looking, clean-cut guy got up and walked over to Fu Chaoyun, taking a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet by the door and handing them to her.
Fu Chaoyun glanced at him.
Sigh, not as good-looking as Pei Xuezhi.
Fu Chaoyun, the “face-con” (someone attracted to good looks): disappointed.jpg
“Thanks.”
The guy’s cheeks instantly turned red. “You’re welcome.”
“By the way, just put your suitcase aside for now. Later, everyone will check out the rooms together and choose. The production team said there are plenty of rooms in the villa, so everyone can have their own.”
“Okay.” Fu Chaoyun smiled at him, “Thank you~”
When Fu Chaoyun wasn’t speaking, her -aura was strong, almost distant. But once she smiled and those light-colored, glass-like eyes looked at you, it warmed the surroundings, often giving people the wrong impression.
—Maybe she’s not so hard to approach after all?
The way the production team arranged things was partly because they had the backing of the wealthy Fu family, allowing them to be lavish; and partly to create suspense.
The production team planned to gradually reveal the guests’ information over the first two weeks.
At first, it was all based on looks alone, but if any guest could deduce more details about others from subtle interactions, then that guest was truly impressive.
The most important ABO gender would be revealed last.
If any funny mix-ups happened along the way, it would all contribute to the show’s ratings!
The production team really took every word Fu Chaoyun casually joked about that day to heart _(:3”∠)_
Fu Chaoyun hadn’t seen the script, but she knew that among the six present, there was one of each ABO gender for both males and females. She knew her own gender and Fu Chaoyun’s.
So, this guy in front of her… an omega male?
The “bullet screen” (comments scrolling across the screen) was also guessing.
【One of the two omegas among the six?】
【He’s so forward!】
【Nooo, my two beauties!】
【Fu Chaoyun’s smile is kind of warm, huh? She doesn’t talk much but seems really polite and gentle. It’s hilarious because she seemed so cocky when she first appeared. I thought she’d be the bossy type!】
【Pei Xuezhi is the one who’s truly cold】
【This is kind of reversing the ‘CP’ (couple pairing)… but I’m okay with them ‘switching roles’ too!】
【Speaking of which, I’m so annoyed. Pei Xuezhi, where are you? At least move a little!】
【Pei Xuezhi, I hate that you’re like a block of wood!】
【Childhood sweetheart, often a loser.jpg】
Fu Chaoyun sat on the sofa in the living room.
The initial six guests had all arrived, and they were taking turns introducing themselves—
The first one to jump up and speak was Qi Changfeng, so bold and showy; he must be the remaining alpha male.
Jian Yi? His personality is so moderate and bland, probably a beta male.
Ni Jiaojiao, indeed very petite and cute, with a soft voice and easily shy demeanor, seems like an omega, but too bad the female omega role is taken by Pei Xuezhi, so she’s a beta female.
Hmm? The guy who handed over the slippers is actually named Fu Li, and he’s the male omega.
Fu Chaoyun easily deduced the genders of these people.
When it was Pei Xuezhi’s turn, her tone was as always, cool and concise, and she only added one thing at the end.
“No alphas.”
Fu Chaoyun said, “…I don’t really have any requirements regarding gender.”
【That statement pretty much locked it in】
【To sum it up, Qi Changfeng and Pei Xuezhi are alphas, Jian Yi and Fu Chaoyun are betas, and Ni Jiaojiao and Fu Li are omegas】
【Huh? My double alpha beauties are just gone like that?】
【What are you thinking? It was clear from the start, there’s only one female alpha!】
【Alright then, I can deal with AB…】
【Now the situation confirms Pei Xuezhi is an alpha, but I feel like Fu Chaoyun might not necessarily be a beta. Nowadays, omegas can be quite deceptive, no one said she couldn’t be an omega!】
【AO romance, susceptibility period marking, pheromone exchange… awesome!】
【Wait, weren’t you just complaining that wanting AO romances is so old-fashioned?】
【Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s ‘real fragrance’ (slang meaning being drawn to something after initially rejecting it)】
“Let’s sort out the rooms first, so we can get our luggage settled,” Qi Changfeng suddenly suggested.
As an alpha, he’s playing with open cards, always eager to lead, organize, and keep everything under control. Earlier, he guided everyone through the introductions, and now he’s arranging the rooms.
Truly, he never stops.
A few of them went upstairs to check out the rooms.
The villa was rented by the production team, and after some setup, the interiors were pretty much the same, with only differences in size and location.
“The villa has four floors. The first floor is the living area, and the fourth floor is for leisure. The second and third floors each have five rooms. Filling up one floor and leaving one room for the next floor definitely won’t work, so I suggest we split into groups of three each. That way, if new guests come, they can choose their room location,” Qi Changfeng proposed.
After he spoke, the others looked at Pei Xuezhi—clearly, like the bullet screen, they all assumed Pei Xuezhi was the other alpha.
Alphas often have a strong desire for control and competitiveness, especially when it comes to pursuing mating rights, where they can be quite aggressive and fierce.
Could Pei Xuezhi, being an alpha too, really tolerate Qi Changfeng’s arrogance?
Only Fu Li, who had shown friendliness to Fu Chaoyun from the moment they entered, sneaked a glance at Fu Chaoyun, and he had a different opinion on this matter.
Fu Chaoyun didn’t notice; she was watching Pei Xuezhi too. Even though Pei Xuezhi hadn’t said much since entering, she still managed to capture everyone’s attention.
Truly deserving of being the female lead!
System: Reluctant to speak.jpg
Pei Xuezhi looked up and said calmly, “You decide.”
【I can’t stand Qi Changfeng, this egomaniac, anymore!】
【That’s how alphas are, and he’s just following the show’s progress…】
“Alright then, I’ll start assigning. Fu Chaoyun, Pei Xuezhi, you two know each other, so you’ll room together. There’s one more spot on the second floor… let’s give it to Fu Li. The rest of us—me, Ni Jiaojiao, and Jian Yi—will share the third floor.”
【Sorry, I take back what I said earlier…】
【Hahaha, well done, Qi Changfeng!】
