Phoenix A has Gone Viral Across the Entire Internet! - Chapter 23

Sorry, I cannot do anything that harms my host.jpg.

432 flicked its calico tail and unceremoniously shoved this meme into view.

Shen Nian gave a light tsk. She was too lazy to deal with this clowning system, so she promptly sent it back into sleep mode.

Utterly heartless and devoid of justice, 432 was so angry that it delivered a brief, impromptu diss track before disappearing.

Shen Nian pretended not to hear; Shen Nian ignored it.

The hangover soup the Omega cooked was effective. Not long after drinking it, the last two or three percent of lingering drunkenness in Shen Nian’s system completely dissipated.

Once her consciousness was clear, she looked down at the empty soup bowl in her hand and couldn’t help but offer a faint smile at the strange thoughts she had while intoxicated.

How could Jiang Zhiwan possibly poison her now?

The events from the original novel had not happened yet. While Jiang Zhiwan’s current attitude toward her was mostly disgust, it had not yet reached the level of hatred.

There might be mischievous pranks, but as for wanting her dead…

Glancing sideways at the Omega who was pulling out a chair to sit down with a calm expression, Shen Nian instinctively arched an eyebrow. She felt that such a possibility was unlikely.

Once Jiang Zhiwan was seated, she sensed the probing gaze from across the table. She did not dodge it; instead, she raised her eyes and calmly met the other’s gaze.

When Shen Nian was drunk, her eyes were beautiful and misty, as if a rainstorm might fall at any moment. Now that she was sober and the mist had cleared, it was almost a pity.

Yet she was born with such moving eyes. With every glance, they naturally conveyed affection. Occasionally, when she fixed her gaze on someone, it seemed as if she were subtextually whispering unspoken words of love.

A faint burning sensation at the back of her neck pulled Jiang Zhiwan back to reality. She slowly raised her hand and lightly touched the newly applied scent-suppressing patch.

Realizing she had almost lost herself in Shen Nian’s eyes once again, Jiang Zhiwan lowered her gaze and sneered silently in her heart.

The other woman’s beautiful skin was truly as deceptive as ever. Even after looking at it for two lifetimes, she still found herself involuntarily attracted to it.

The lingering warmth and moisture on her fingertips felt like a silent irony to the current Jiang Zhiwan. It served as a constant reminder of the ridiculous, lingering affection found within a certain unfinished memory of the past.

However, as soon as she recalled the name the Alpha had instinctively called out while in her hazy, drunken state, Jiang Zhiwan’s heart instantly went cold. Her gaze darkened significantly.

To Shen Nian, this looked like a direct display of the other’s poor mood.

Remembering the six Blackening Points the system had just announced for the Omega, Shen Nian knew she had to come up with a reasonable excuse as quickly as possible.

But how could she explain that this “Qi Wan” was not the same as that “Qi Wan,” and that the two did not even belong to the same world?

After thinking for a while, Shen Nian could not help but feel a headache coming on. No matter what, the fact that she had called out someone else’s name in front of Jiang Zhiwan was difficult to talk her way out of.

While Shen Nian was struggling with her dilemma, Jiang Zhiwan had already regained her usual cold and indifferent expression.

The scent-suppressing patch did its duty faithfully, blocking out the remaining foreign scents in the air and completely cutting off any possibility of ambiguous contact.

Though they were only separated by a dining table, Shen Nian suddenly felt as if the distance between her and Jiang Zhiwan had been invisibly stretched very far apart in a moment she hadn’t noticed.

Sensing this, Shen Nian furrowed her brows. For reasons she couldn’t identify, she felt a sudden bout of irritability.

Just as she was about to say something to stop the silence from spreading, a cheerful phone ringtone beat her to it, breaking the quiet surroundings.

As she answered the phone, Shen Nian took the opportunity to steal a glance at the Omega.

Feeling that the previous sense of distance had vanished, she felt a strange sense of relief in her heart.

On the other end of the call, Ji Xicheng let out a marmot-like scream, “Ahhh! Shen Nian! Our business is trending!”

Ji Xicheng was at home, and in her excitement, she did not bother to lower her volume.

Shen Nian also happened to forget to turn off the speakerphone, causing every word the other person said to come out clearly from the receiver.

Scanning Jiang Zhiwan, who was looking at her with a half-smile, Shen Nian felt her innocence was about to be lost.

She hurriedly corrected the other woman, “What do you mean ‘our business’? Ji Xicheng, I suggest you rephrase that! We are both Alphas. What could possibly be going on between us?”

Ji Xicheng was full of questions. “Wow, where is your mind going? Don’t you know where you went and what you did with me tonight?”

After a pause, feeling as if she had seen through the other’s thoughts, her tone became uncertain. “Shen Nian, you aren’t planning to back out of this, are you?”

“I’m telling you, it’s too late! That leaked video clearly shows the profiles of both our faces!”

Before the call disconnected, Ji Xicheng added one last vicious sentence, “Don’t even think about leaving me behind to save yourself!”

After this baffling conversation ended, Shen Nian felt like strangling the other woman personally.

What did she mean “they had something going on”? What did she mean about their profiles being filmed? And what was this about leaving her behind to save herself?

It made her sound like a scummy Alpha who was caught fooling around with a familiar lover at night and then quickly tried to distance herself after being exposed.

Wait, trending? Shen Nian suddenly reacted.

Before she could nervously click on the trending topics, the Omega sitting across from her very thoughtfully handed over a phone showing a video that had already started playing.

Shen Nian only watched for a few seconds before her heart completely sank.

That damned video leaker! Why did they only blur her and Ji Xicheng’s faces but refuse to mute the audio?

Now, won’t fans across the entire internet know that she, Shen Nian, was singing out of tune?

Shen Nian did not give up. She wanted to see where such a small matter ranked on the trending list, and she even began to consider spending money to push it down.

However, once she exited the video, she didn’t even have to look for it; the tag appeared prominently at the very top.

#JiangYuanxingExposesScumAlpha#

#ShenAndJiStarletsOrderOmegaModelsAtNight#

Ranking second was bad enough, but the tag name was so sensational that it would likely overtake the top spot soon.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian could not help but frown. Her mind was filled with the urge to fight those hateful leakers.

Seeing the Alpha looking troubled and even failing to notice several incoming calls on her own phone, Jiang Zhiwan raised her eyebrows slightly and took her phone back.

Jiang Zhiwan’s browsing speed had always been fast. Consequently, she had already watched the entire leaked video of Shen Nian before handing the screen over.

The so-called “nighttime ordering of Omega models” was actually just inviting several trendy, older grandmothers to sing together. Looking at the entire internet, this was an extremely rare sight.

Jiang Zhiwan tapped her finger on the table one beat at a time. She surmised that this was likely why Shen Nian was tainted with those unfamiliar pheromones.

As she was thinking, she was interrupted by a sudden incoming call. Looking at the contact remark, it displayed the words “Sister Earn.” She knew the other party was calling to demand an explanation.

Sure enough, once the call was connected, the first sentence from the other end was, “Zhiwan, let Shen Nian answer the phone.”
