Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 94
“Let’s Fall in Love Today” consists of nine episodes, with each episode filmed over two days. After the midday gift exchange concluded, the production team arranged lunch for everyone.
The love cottage was set up with four separate dining rooms for the four couples.
“Each dining room has a different love mission. Now, please draw your room numbers.”
The staff brought out the familiar box again.
The alphas all let the omegas do the drawing. Yu Qingxue randomly picked a small white ball marked with the number “2.”
Next, Wang You drew “3,” Shen Runxin got “1,” and Zhou Jianbai ended up with “4.”
While the others were distracted watching Wang You, Yu Qingxue quietly walked to a corner and whispered into her microphone, “Director Han, I drew number 2.”
“Received, President Yu.”
Yu Qingxue returned to Ning Xi’s side, and the two exchanged a glance, with Yu Qingxue curling her lips slightly.
Their interaction was captured by the cameras.
Once everyone had drawn their numbers, the staff directed the couples to their respective rooms.
Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue entered Room 2 and found a large gift box tied with a ribbon on the dining table.
The staff explained, “Inside is the mission you must complete during your meal. Each room has a different task. Please open the box to see.”
Ning Xi walked over and lifted the lid, only to find another slightly smaller box inside.
Ning Xi: “…”
She turned to the staff and asked, “Are there going to be endless layers of boxes, with the mission hidden in the very last one?”
The staff smiled. “I don’t know. Try it and see.”
Yu Qingxue stepped forward. “Let me help you.”
Ning Xi said, “You handle opening the lids, and I’ll stack the empty boxes below.”
The two had absolutely no coordination—their hands kept bumping into each other while opening the boxes, turning what should have been a normal task into something strangely intimate.
Ning Xi, flustered, fumbled with a box, accidentally flinging it aside when she turned. Yu Qingxue’s expression remained calm, but after hearing the box hit the floor, she tucked a loose curl behind her ear, revealing a bright red earlobe.
Finally, they reached the smallest box. Yu Qingxue pulled out a slip of paper. “This must be the mission.”
Both sighed in relief.
“What does it say?” Ning Xi asked.
Yu Qingxue unfolded it and read, “Truth or Dare. Play rock-paper-scissors, best two out of three. The winner can ask the loser a question. If the loser can’t answer, they must switch to a dare: cooking dinner themselves.”
Yu Qingxue asked, “Can you cook?”
“No…” Ning Xi answered before realizing, “Professor Yu, I haven’t lost yet.”
Amused, Yu Qingxue set the paper aside and held out a clenched fist. “Best two out of three. Let’s begin.”
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
Ning Xi threw rock; Yu Qingxue threw paper. Yu Qingxue won.
“I won.” A hint of triumph flashed in Yu Qingxue’s light-colored eyes, revealing a rare, playful side.
Ning Xi was momentarily dazed before snapping back, cheeks flushed. “There are still two rounds. I might win yet.”
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
Ning Xi threw rock again. Yu Qingxue threw scissors.
“This time I won,” Ning Xi said with a smile.
Yu Qingxue glanced at her. “Next time I’ll throw paper.”
Ning Xi replied, “Alright.”
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
Ning Xi threw rock while Yu Qingxue threw scissors.
Yu Qingxue: “…”
Ning Xi looked surprised. “Professor Yu, did you let me win on purpose?”
Yu Qingxue didn’t answer. She sat down on a chair, crossing her arms. “What question do you want to ask me?”
Ning Xi sat opposite her, a fleeting shyness in her dark eyes. “I want to ask Professor Yu, if by the end of filming, you’ve also fallen for me, would you accept my proposal?”
Yu Qingxue propped her elbow on the table. “So certain I’ll fall for you?”
“Just because you’re tall, beautiful, a great actress, and gentle and considerate?”
Ning Xi: “…Professor Yu, your compliments are unexpected. But you still have to answer the question.”
Yu Qingxue straightened up. “Fine, I choose truth or dare.”
“Professor Yu, you can cook?” Ning Xi sounded astonished.
Yu Qingxue countered, “Is cooking difficult?”
“Of course it is! The hardest part for me is figuring out ‘to taste.’ I can never get it right,” Ning Xi admitted.
Yu Qingxue chuckled. “Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Not being able to cook isn’t a big deal.”
“But Professor Yu, you excel at everything. Skipping grades with top marks, becoming the world’s only Omega international film queen, running a company ranked top three in the industry—you’ve perfected it all.” Ning Xi sighed. “Now I’m thinking you might whip up a full imperial banquet.”
Yu Qingxue laughed at her exaggeration. “That’s going too far.”
After completing the task, the crew finally brought out lunch.
Ning Xi instinctively moved to serve Yu Qingxue but abruptly remembered they were filming. She awkwardly redirected her chopsticks to her own mouth instead.
“This dish is delicious, Professor Yu. You should try it.”
Yu Qingxue didn’t miss her earlier motion, giving her an amused sidelong glance.
Yu Qingxue’s script wasn’t overly detailed, providing only a general framework for everyone to improvise.
Bringing gifts was a fixed requirement, but the specifics were left to the guests.
Earlier, when they played rock-paper-scissors, Yu Qingxue had the crew switch the task to “truth or dare,” though the game’s outcome was random.
She’d already decided what to ask Ning Xi, only to lose at the last moment.
But losing didn’t matter—it was a chance to showcase her culinary skills.
After lunch, the crew assigned each guest a room for a two-hour nap before resuming in the afternoon.
The Alpha and Omega rooms were on opposite sides of the love cottage, separated by a corridor at least five meters long.
The resting rooms had no cameras, allowing complete freedom.
Ren Rong rushed in to hand Ning Xi her phone. “Professor Ning, I’ve already delivered President Yu’s phone to her.”
“Thank you.” The moment Ning Xi closed the door after taking her phone, it rang.
Echoing in her ears was Ren Rong’s voice outside, speaking into her own phone: “President Yu, the phone has been delivered to Professor Ning. Yes, she’s closed the door.”
Ning Xi couldn’t help but laugh—Yu Qingxue really didn’t want to waste even half a second, having Ren Rong notify her instead.
Ning Xi accepted the video call and settled onto the sofa in her room, pouring herself a glass of water.
“You have to help me cook this afternoon. Making dinner for eight people is no easy task,” Yu Qingxue immediately whined at her.
Ning Xi replied, “I can handle washing and chopping the vegetables, but you’ll have to take care of the actual cooking and seasoning.”
Yu Qingxue said, “I checked the fridge—there’s just a carton of eggs, a piece of meat, and one fish. No vegetables at all. I have a feeling the production team has something else planned.”
She was only responsible for the general character arcs and plot; the rest was up to the production team, so Yu Qingxue had no idea.
Recalling the variety shows she’d watched in her past life, Ning Xi guessed, “There are farm fields outside the Love Cottage. They wouldn’t make us pick our own vegetables, would they?”
Yu Qingxue: “No way… Wouldn’t it be better to keep things light and romantic for a dating show? Why would they make us do farm work? The production team wouldn’t design something like that.”
Two hours later, Ning Xi arrived in the shared living room, where a staff member announced, “Teacher Yu’s challenge is to cook dinner for everyone, but there are no vegetables in the fridge. So, you’ll all need to head to the Love Cottage’s fields to pick your own. Pair up—each person just needs to gather enough before bringing them back.”
“Now, let’s draw lots to determine which vegetable each of you will be responsible for.”
Yu Qingxue: “…”
Ning Xi asked, “Since Teacher Yu has to cook this afternoon, does she still need to pick vegetables?”
The staff member flashed a devilish smile. “Nope, sorry. Cooking is her challenge, but vegetable picking is a mandatory show task. Both must be completed.”
Knowing Yu Qingxue wasn’t great with physical labor (except during her heat cycles), Ning Xi reassured her, “Don’t worry, Teacher Yu. Leave the hard work to me—I’ll handle the picking. You just sit back and watch.”
