Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 90
On December 7th, the dating reality show “Let’s Fall in Love Today” began filming its first episode.
Among the four celebrity couples invited, only Ning Xi & Yu Qingxue and Wang You & Wei Nian were already in relationships. The other four participants were simply there to gain exposure or pursue someone specific.
After finishing her makeup, Ning Xi arrived at the set, a romantically decorated living roomin the production team’s luxury car. She was the first to arrive, with the other seven guests yet to appear.
Facing multiple cameras with complete composure, Ning Xi greeted, “Hello everyone, I’m Ning Xi.”
She took a seat on the sofa with elegant grace. Dressed in a dark-colored loose sweater and jeans, her simple outfit became dazzling thanks to her flawless features.
The director, watching from the production van outside, spoke into his microphone: “This Ning Xi is even more striking in person than in photos. Camera crew, make sure to capture plenty of footage of her.”
After about five minutes of waiting, Wei Nian became the second to arrive at the set.
As a first-time reality show participant, Wei Nian appeared slightly uncomfortable facing so many people. Her tension eased somewhat when she saw Ning Xi upon entering.
A flash of surprise crossed Ning Xi’s eyes as she stood up with a smile, walking over to embrace Wei Nian. “Long time no see! I didn’t expect you’d be on this show too.”
Having rehearsed their meeting dialogue yesterday, Wei Nian immediately responded: “If the production team hadn’t required confidentiality, I would’ve told you ages ago.”
Guiding Wei Nian to sit together, Ning Xi smoothly addressed the cameras: “Wei Nian and I co-starred in ‘Asking the Demon,’ which wrapped last month. What a coincidence to meet again on a dating show.”
Wei Nian gradually relaxed under Ning Xi’s influence. “I heard there are four Alpha and four Omega participants randomly paired initially. If an Alpha and Omega choose each other, it’s a match. Ning Xi, you’ll need to control your charm around the Omegas, what if they all pick you? The rest of us would’ve come for nothing.”
As they bantered, two male Alphas entered together. Ning Xi and Wei Nian promptly stood to greet them.
All participants had reviewed the show’s script beforehand, knowing which Alphas and Omegas would appear.
Ning Xi, who knew little about the entertainment industry, shook hands with each Alpha: “Teacher Sun, I’ve long admired your work. Teacher Wei, I’ve seen all your films each one was exceptional.”
Sun Qi Ze, a mild-mannered 32-year-old male Alpha, had debuted early his first song at sixteen became an instant hit, followed by chart-toppers every few years. A veteran in the industry, fans called him the “God of Love Songs.”
His companion was 29-year-old actor Wei Xinran, a double Golden Award-winning leading man (Golden Sea and Golden Fly Awards) whose acting skills made him a undisputed two-time Best Actor.
Landing these two for a dating show proved the production team’s capabilities.
The four sat together somewhat awkwardly, being virtual strangers. Fortunately, Ning Xi’s social grace quickly broke the ice as she skillfully initiated conversation, successfully livening up the atmosphere.
“Teacher Sun and Teacher Wei must be very popular among Omegas. Why did you decide to join this show?”
With no host for the variety show, Ning Xi took on the role and asked the questions prepared by the production team.
The director, watching the monitors with headphones on, couldn’t help slapping his thigh in delight upon hearing Ning Xi’s question. “President Yu’s judgment is impeccable! Getting Ning Xi was absolutely the right call!”
Sun Qi Ze’s gentle face carried a smile, though his eyes showed a trace of helplessness. “I’m usually too busy with work to meet any Omegas. After turning thirty, my family started pressuring me constantly about marriage. This year, I couldn’t hold out any longer. When this opportunity came up to work while dating, I thought maybe I could find true love here and enter the halls of matrimony, so I joined.”
Ning Xi subtly complimented Sun Qi Ze: “Teacher Sun will surely succeed. You’re the God of Love Songs, the dream lover of countless Omegas.”
“It’s all thanks to my fans’ affection,” Sun Qi Ze quickly responded, though Ning Xi’s words brought a more genuine smile to his eyes.
“What about you, Teacher Wei? I truly didn’t expect you to be single, given how charming you are both on-screen and in real life,” Ning Xi turned the question to Wei Xinran.
With his sharply defined, camera-friendly features and expressive eyes, Wei Xinran gave a shy smile. “I’m naturally not very talkative and not good at pleasing Omegas. During filming, to avoid affecting progress, I rarely interact with Omega actors outside of scenes. In daily life, I prefer staying in and seldom attend social gatherings, so I’ve had no opportunities to meet Omegas.”
“I deeply desire family life, but I’ve never managed to step out of my comfort zone. Joining this show is my attempt to become braver and find the one I love.”
Ning Xi led the applause. “Well said, Teacher Wei. Love indeed requires courage to pursue.”
Sun Qi Ze patted Wei Xinran’s shoulder in solidarity. “Let’s work together to shed our single status.”
After speaking their truths, both Sun Qi Ze and Wei Xinran visibly relaxed.
“What about you, Wei Nian? If I remember correctly, you’re only twenty-one, just a junior in college. Why the rush to date before graduation?”
Ning Xi turned to Wei Nian, drawing curious looks from both Sun Qi Ze and Wei Xinran.
Under the simultaneous gaze of the God of Love Songs and a double Golden Statue-winning actor, Wei Nian grew nervous, her face flushing slightly. “I-I-I may be young, but I also want to pursue true love. I’ve never been in a relationship before and have high expectations for romance. I hope to develop something beautiful here.”
“And you, Ning Xi? You’re my age, with top-tier acting skills and looks, the most popular Alpha on campus with Omegas chasing after you during classes. Why come here?” Wei Nian countered.
Under three pairs of watching eyes, Ning Xi’s dark lashes fluttered slightly, her black eyes showing shyness as her pale cheeks tinted pink. “Actually, I heard someone I know was joining this show, so I contacted the production team myself.”
Sun Qi Ze asked curiously, “Didn’t the production team require confidentiality? How did you find out?”
Ning Xi said, “I have her on WeChat. She posted a moment about the ‘Let’s Fall in Love Today’ show and forgot to block me, so I accidentally saw it.”
Wei Nian looked at Ning Xi, his admiration surging like an endless river.
She had already established the persona of a devoted lover coming only for one person. Later, when she rejected any Omega she got randomly paired with, the audience definitely wouldn’t criticize her. Truly impressive this was Ning Xi for you.
Once all four arrived, Ning Xi prompted each to explain their reasons for coming. The director was very satisfied with this footage and said into his microphone to the crew, “We can move to the next segment.”
Soon a staff member brought over a sealed box. “Inside are four numbered balls. The number you randomly draw will determine which Omega you’ll interact with. The Omegas will do the same they’ll also get a ten-minute interaction opportunity with a randomly selected Alpha.”
“What if an Alpha and Omega draw numbers matching each other?” Ning Xi asked.
The staff member replied, “That means you’re fated and will get twenty minutes together.”
“You can start drawing now,” the staff member said before stepping out of frame.
Ning Xi suggested, “Let’s go by age. Teacher Sun first, Teacher Wei second, then Wei Nian, and me last.”
The other three had no objections.
Sun Qi Ze walked over nervously, reached into the box, fumbled around a bit, and pulled out a small white ball marked with a black “2.”
“Teacher Sun got number two.”
After Sun Qi Ze drew, Wei Xinran quickly pulled out a white ball numbered three.
Wei Nian got ball number four, leaving Ning Xi with number one without needing to draw.
The staff instructed them to take their balls and board an SUV outside to meet their paired Omegas. On the way, Ning Xi asked, “What do you think the numbers are based on?”
“Probably age,” Wei Nian said.
Sun Qi Ze and Wei Xinran agreed.
If arranged by age, neither the oldest nor the youngest would be, Yu Qingxue. Ning Xi’s number one ball suddenly felt uncomfortably warm in her hand.
