Who the Hell Gave Shen Ranxin the Everyone's Darling Script?

Although the livestream camera had been covered, leaving no image, it could still pick up sound.

Lu Zhi's words came through clearly from the pitch-black livestream.

[Holy shit, can he say that?]

[What a scheming Alpha!!!]

[Lu Zhi, seriously, who still says he likes Cheng Cheng? To seduce Shen Ranxin, he's practically one step away from walking out naked with his ass hanging out, isn't he?]

[No, no, no, this can't be real!!!]

[I'm devastated.]

[Is an AA romance even allowed? This is a dating show, please! Even if it's scripted, can't you give us a normal script?! What's wrong with an AO romance!]

[What's wrong with an AA romance? What era are we in? Don't tell me people are still gender-discriminatory?]

[Is this even about gender discrimination? An AA romance won't end well! Biologically speaking, Alphas are naturally attracted to omega pheromones. Besides, an Alpha can't mark another Alpha. Normally it's fine, but during a susceptibility period, without omega pheromones to soothe them, it's extremely dangerous for both the Alpha and everyone around him! I hope the production team understands what a healthy relationship should look like and doesn't mislead the public! AA romances won't have a good ending!]

[A normal romance may be stable, but a dysfunctional romance is way more exciting! I don't care! I'm an adult! I can tell right from wrong myself! Just because I like watching AA romances doesn't mean I'd get into one myself! I ship it! I ship it hard!]

[I'll just say one term: criminal celebrity... No sexual orientation can go beyond the law. Shen Ranxin is a murderer. Just thinking about it makes me sick.]

[I've had enough. If the studio fire really had anything to do with Shen Ranxin, how could he still be here? He'd have been arrested long ago, okay? Rumors in the entertainment industry cost nothing. Some people even say the five years he was offscreen were spent in prison... Two deaths and only five years in prison? Are you okay? Besides, there's no evidence clearly proving that Shen Ranxin's diva behavior on set caused the fire, okay?]

[I don't get why so many people are still whitewashing something this ironclad...]

Just as the netizens' discussion was gradually turning into a war, Lu Zhi's voice came through the livestream again.

"Teacher Shen, I'm really dizzy. I have a phobia of huge things. Every time I go to the bathroom, I get dizzy."

After a long while, something slammed against the bathroom's glass door, followed by Shen Ranxin's roar. "Take your dirty joke and get the hell out!"

Lu Zhi fell silent.

[Wait, do they not know this camera can record audio?]

[Delete that fast, before Shen Ranxin sees it!]

[I want to see just how much filthy stuff this cold, vengeful CEO with the public persona has left to say!]

Lu Zhi did not behave himself for even half a minute before speaking again. "Teacher Shen, I think I forgot to bring shampoo. Could you lend me yours?"

Shen Ranxin's patience had reached its limit.

"And a bathrobe. I forgot to bring one too. Teacher Shen, could you lend me one? It doesn't matter if it's been worn."

Just as Shen Ranxin was about to rush in and perish together with Lu Zhi, someone suddenly knocked on the room door.

Shen Ranxin walked over and opened it, only to see Cheng Cheng standing outside with an armful of things.

"You're..." Shen Ranxin paused and glanced at the various toiletries behind him. "Here to borrow the bathroom for a shower?"

"Nope." Cheng Cheng shook his head. "A-Ran hasn't been on a variety show in a long time, so I was worried you'd forget to bring some daily necessities. I brought two sets and thought I'd bring one over for you."

Shen Ranxin mentally praised Cheng Cheng as the god of Ancient Greece in charge of everyone's darlings. He really understood people's needs perfectly. Who would not like someone so thoughtful and attentive?

He had actually foreseen that Lu Zhi would bring nothing at all!

Cheng Cheng entered the room and saw Lu Zhi showering inside the translucent glass bathroom. With a smile, he walked to the cabinet beside it, picked up a square object, and pressed it.

The originally translucent glass instantly turned into an opaque mirror.

"This bathroom can be adjusted." Cheng Cheng casually slipped the control remote into his pocket, ensuring that no one could adjust the bathroom again.

Shen Ranxin pressed his lips together before saying, "Lu Zhi happens to have forgotten shampoo, so just give him yours."

Standing inside, Lu Zhi spoke with a smile that did not reach his eyes. "Coming over to visit this late at night?"

Cheng Cheng smiled and fired back from outside. "A-Ran and I are close."

"Teacher Shen, I didn't bring a bathrobe. Can I borrow one of yours..."

Cheng Cheng pulled out a brand-new bathrobe. "It's fine, I have them. I've got every size from S to XXXXL. A-Ran's probably isn't quite right for you, is it?"

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Fuck, who came on a dating show carrying brand-new bathrobes from S to XXXXL?

"Teacher Shen, my underwear..."

Cheng Cheng pulled several boxes of new men's underwear from his suitcase. "Got it."

"Teacher Shen, my towel..."

Cheng Cheng took out a new towel. "Got it!"

"Teacher Shen, my toothbrush..."

He laid out all kinds of toothbrushes in a row. "Got! Them! All!"

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Huh?

D-Doraemon Cheng?

Was this some kind of bizarre new play?

Before Lu Zhi could continue, Cheng Cheng dumped everything in the suitcase out!

"Face masks, facial cleanser, toilet paper, men's socks, Alpha suppressants, bite guards, suppression patches, disposable bedding... and so on, and so on! I have everything! That way, Young Master Lu won't borrow a single thing from A-Ran."

Cheng Cheng whispered like a demon.

"Oh, right. I specially picked out this disposable bedding for you. It's a Lu Group product, so it'll make sure you feel at home and don't have trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. Even if you don't have something you shouldn't be holding in your arms, you still won't suffer from insomnia!"

Lu Zhi, who had just been planning to use trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar bed as an excuse to share a bed with Shen Ranxin: "..."

Shen Ranxin blinked.

Well damn. He said he had prepared a set for him, but not one of those things was actually for him, right?

Cheng Cheng seemed to see through his thoughts. He took a tiny bottle from his inner pocket and handed it to Shen Ranxin.

Shen Ranxin froze. He truly had not expected there to be something for him.

"What's this?"

Wasn't this bottle way too small?

Cheng Cheng tilted his head. "Wolf-repellent spray concentrated a thousand times. Just one spray can make a top-tier Alpha lose consciousness instantly."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Right, so Cheng Cheng was afraid he would not be able to resist assaulting Lu Zhi?

"Wait, have you considered this?" Shen Ranxin asked seriously. "Lu Zhi and I are both Alphas. If I spray this once, won't we both pass out?"

"You won't." Cheng Cheng clasped his hands behind his back, looking completely innocent. "It was specially formulated for Lu Zhi's genes. It only works on him."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Well damn.

Wasn't this supposed to be a sweet romance? How had it turned into lovers trying to kill each other?

[Brothers, get up, the Cheng-Zhi Couple still has hope! Our little Cheng Cheng even knows Lu Zhi's genetic sequence! If that isn't love, what is?!]

[Your idea of love is learning someone's genetic sequence and then specially creating a genetic poison for him?]

[Hello, want to date? The kind that costs you your life.]

[Lu Zhi: I'm so done with this bastard.]

[It's hard to say who Lu Zhi likes, but Cheng Cheng definitely likes Shen Ranxin. To stop Lu Zhi from taking advantage of Shen Ranxin, his tiny body carried such massive energy—he huffed and puffed all by himself to bring so many personal items. He loves him so much.]

[Which damned bastard gave Shen Ranxin the everyone's darling script?]
