Everyone turned toward the voice. To their surprise, it was the Omega with glasses.
Mu Yunzhi raised an eyebrow, a flicker of interest crossing his eyes.
Yu He and Leng Haiyue looked a little puzzled, as if wondering who this person was.
It was hardly their fault Yu He and Leng Haiyue had no impression of him. Jiang Yumiao had only spoken to An Zhiwan and Ning Chunchi earlier, and that morning, the original owner of his body had been so inconspicuous that only the protagonist shou, Lin Xu, had noticed him.
Jiang Yumiao's reasoning was simple. He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would forget everything the second male lead had told him. If he failed to answer most of the questions, he would be letting down the second male lead, who had put so much care into telling him all that. Besides, the longer he waited, the more nervous he became. Better to get it over with and go first.
Director Yang grinned. "All right, Jiang Yumiao goes first. Which guest will you choose as the person you know best?"
Jiang Yumiao really wanted to glance at the second male lead's expression, but he felt too embarrassed. Instead, he kept facing the director and said, "I choose... President Ning."
Several cameras immediately turned toward Ning Chunchi. On the monitor for the camera dedicated to his close-ups, they could see him smile faintly upon hearing Jiang Yumiao's answer, looking every inch the refined gentleman.
[That nobody really has latched onto President Ning.]
[I'd latch onto him too. Even harder than he has. An Alpha as gentle, handsome, and rich as President Ning-who wouldn't like him?!]
[Am I the only one who prefers Little An Puppy? President Ning seems gentle, but he also feels pretty distant.]
Director Yang had already watched Jiang Yumiao and Ning Chunchi's conversation in the RV, so Jiang Yumiao's choice of the second male lead came as no surprise.
He pulled a sheet labeled "Ten questions about Ning Chunchi" from a stack of A4 paper, deliberately holding it in front of his chest and shaking it at everyone as if showing off.
"Ready?"
Yu He quipped, "Director, you're so childish."
Another burst of laughter swept through the group.
The little interruption eased Jiang Yumiao's nerves slightly.
He gazed at Yang Qi with the determination of someone heading onto a battlefield. "I'm okay. We can start."
Director Yang began reading the questions.
"Ning Chunchi's hobby?" "Reading." Jiang Yumiao had heard Yu He ask the second male lead this earlier, while walking behind them.
"Ning Chunchi's favorite food?" "Fish."
"His favorite kind of weather?" "Rainy days." "His favorite time of day?" "The early hours of the morning."
"His favorite season?" "Winter."
Ning Chunchi had told him all five of those answers. Delighted that their predictions had been right, Jiang Yumiao only needed one more correct answer to pass the game and enjoy a feast!
[Are these questions really this easy...]
[You only think they're easy because you saw Ning Chunchi tell Jiang the answers. You can't find these answers online. They aren't on Ning Chunchi's wiki page either.]
[The hard part is getting President Ning to tell you. Look at Yu He earlier-President Ning's aura scared him off after just a few questions.]
[That nobody's got some skills.]
Director Yang said with a mischievous grin, "Don't celebrate too soon. That was just your warm-up."
Then he fired off several questions. "Ning Chunchi's shoe size?" "How many relationships has Ning Chunchi had?" "Which part of his body is Ning Chunchi most satisfied with?"
The barrage of questions he hadn't prepared for nearly knocked Jiang Yumiao senseless. Completely lost, he fumbled through a string of guesses. "Uh, forty-two?" "He's had... five, six, seven, eight, nine relationships?" "Most satisfied... with his face?"
Everyone instinctively looked at the second male lead's face and pondered. It really was a masterpiece of creation.
Ning Chunchi's expression had already darkened a little. Hearing Jiang Yumiao guess that he had dated five, six, seven, or eight times brought a cold smile to his lips.
What exactly did Jiang Yumiao think of him? Ning Chunchi was a domineering business tycoon renowned for his clean personal life, yet Jiang Yumiao made him sound like a philandering scumbag gong.
When Jiang Yumiao mentioned his face, however, Ning Chunchi's mood brightened again. Hah, this Omega was rather direct. Did he like my face that much? Well, he already drooled while staring at me. One more time hardly makes a difference.
"President Ning wears size forty-three. According to him, he's focused on his career and has no interest in romance. He's most satisfied with his hands. Congratulations, you got them all wrong!" Director Yang announced the answers one by one, then asked, "What was Ning Chunchi doing at this time yesterday?"
Jiang Yumiao cried in despair, "I don't even know what I was doing at this time yesterday! How would I know what he was doing? You're asking these questions because you don't want me to get them right!"
But Director Yang's words also made something dawn on him. Did that mean Ning Chunchi had never been in a relationship?! So he had been single since birth.
Poor guy. Jiang Yumiao couldn't help feeling a little sympathy, only to remember that he had never dated either. Well, great. Now I've dragged myself into the pity party.
Director Yang held up his megaphone. "Last question-what behavior does Ning Chunchi hate most?"
Jiang Yumiao froze. They hadn't gone over this answer either. Aaaaaah!
He instinctively looked toward the second male lead for help.
Ning Chunchi looked calm and composed, not even sparing Jiang Yumiao a glance.
With no hope of relying on the second male lead, Jiang Yumiao could only recall their brief interactions and some details from the original novel.
In the original novel, Ning Chunchi was an illegitimate son, but after reaching adulthood, he started his own business. His achievements were so outstanding that the head of the Ning family personally welcomed him back into the family.
The other members of the Ning family had naturally tried to obstruct him along the way, such as drugging his wine or suddenly planting an Omega in heat in his room.
Unable to defeat Ning Chunchi in business, they hoped to ruin him with a sex scandal.
Because Omegas were relatively rare, the country had extremely strict protections for Omegas in heat, and the relevant laws were especially severe.
If Ning Chunchi had actually been seduced and the Omega subsequently accused him, he would have faced not only public condemnation but legal punishment as well.
Although Ning Chunchi had already been on his guard and avoided the trap, almost no Omegas had been allowed near him since then. Even his secretaries and assistants were all Alphas and Betas.
Still, that hadn't stopped countless young Omega gentlemen from wealthy families of comparable standing from secretly falling for him and trying every possible means to attract his attention. All of it irritated him immensely.
At that thought, inspiration struck Jiang Yumiao. "President Ning hates it most when people deliberately try to seduce him!"
[Is this the thief crying thief?]
[So you do know, you nobody, hahahahaha!]
[I think you're the one trying hardest to seduce him here.]
Director Yang choked, glanced at the question booklet in his hand, then burst out laughing. "Hahaha, since this is the final question, let's leave it to the man himself to decide whether that answer is correct. President Ning, would you say he got it right?"
The director's laughter was rather infectious. Qin Yuan, who had seen Jiang Yumiao "drooling" over Ning Chunchi, couldn't help smiling either.
All this time, Lin Xu had been playing along, reacting to Jiang Yumiao's answers while watching Qin Yuan out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Qin Yuan's perpetually icy expression actually thaw for a moment, he couldn't help freezing in surprise.
At Director Yang's words, Jiang Yumiao hurriedly turned around and looked eagerly at the second male lead, blinking furiously. Oh, mighty second male lead, whether I get my feast depends entirely on you!
Unfortunately, his glasses obscured his eyes. The others couldn't see clearly and could only tell that the Omega's eyelids seemed to be moving.
Ning Chunchi tilted his head in confusion. Was Jiang Yumiao's eye twitching?
