As everyone well knew, omegas, much like alphas, varied in physical aesthetics and personal popularity. The twin stellar icons of the omega cohort, the omega twins, were universally acknowledged as the two most breathtaking individuals among the current crop of omegas. 

Just as certain alphas found themselves entirely ignored while others were simultaneously chosen by upwards of a dozen omegas, the majority of participating alphas secretly yearned to be handpicked by the most stunning omegas. On the whole, this selection process depended not merely on sheer quantity, but equally upon quality. Yet an enormous upset had exploded this season: those singular alphas boasting peak popularity and superior comprehensive credentials failed to secure concurrent selection by both omega twins, whereas three comparatively ordinary fellows unexpectedly pulled off massive upsets.

For a time, countless alphas seethed with burning envy and jealousy toward these three fortunate individuals. The star-net erupted into fierce, impassioned discussions regarding what manner of fortune permitted these fellows to simultaneously capture the favor of both premier omegas, and what unique charms they possessed.

In an instant, the limelight surrounding these three individuals completely eclipsed even those life-winning alphas who had been simultaneously chosen by over a dozen omegas. As for Bai Angus, who had previously faced universal ridicule across the network, his selection by Colin—one of the omega twins—did trigger a brief wave of public shock, yet it failed to generate the visceral envy and resentment elicited by the other three, causing the network to drop the topic after a brief flurry of debate. Of course, a more significant reason lay in the simple fact that no leisure remained for prolonged discussion, since today marked not only the momentous occasion where all omegas finalized their five preferred alphas, but also the simultaneous launch of the first day of the three-day dating phase.

Virtually in tandem with the completion of the alpha selection process, various dating venues had been fully prepared, sponsored by several of the empire's most exclusive couple restaurants. Every single location offered a picturesque, romantic sanctuary complete with support staff standing by in anticipation of the principal participants' arrival.

Colin was scheduled for two dates today, and Muir likewise held two scheduled dates. By sheer coincidence, both individuals were assigned their respective rendezvous within the exact same couple restaurant.

Although sheltered beneath the same roof, their respective dating rosters diverged partially. Colin's first and second dates for the day paired him with the alpha possessing the most stellar comprehensive credentials alongside the alpha whose profession was a senior physician. Muir, on the other hand, entered his initial date with one of the two premium alphas he had meticulously vetted and retained from the matching pool, while his second date matched him with the exact same alpha assigned to Colin's first session.

Once all participating alphas and omegas arrived at their designated couple restaurants, the dates would formally commence.

During the brief interlude preceding the commencement of the dates, official livestream room channels covering each rendezvous zone had long since been established. Eager star-net netizens flooded en masse into the digital rooms corresponding to their preferred pairing combinations, staring intently at screens that still displayed static, pitch-black video feeds while awaiting the transmission to go live.

As the crowds surged inward, traffic metrics across the various rooms rapidly diverged. As the omega twins, Colin and Muir commanded the heaviest influx of viewers by an overwhelming margin. Between the two, however, Colin's viewing traffic managed to decisively outpace Muir's, with the upward trajectory accelerating steadily.

Naturally, this disparity did not imply that Colin's baseline popularity outstripped Muir's; as co-holders of the omega twins title, both commanded identical levels of public adoration under normal circumstances. The underlying driver behind the lopsided viewer traffic stemmed entirely from the identities of their respective dating partners.

Muir's initial date paired him with an exceptionally accomplished alpha—one of those rare life-winning favorites simultaneously claimed by over a dozen omegas. Under logical expectations, such a pairing ought to draw staggering visual interest. However, it could not rival the sheer curiosity surrounding the alpha paired with Colin for his first date: one of those three scandalous anomalies who had managed to simultaneously captivate both omega twins.

The sudden exposure of those three fellows had previously detonated a storm of widespread public fascination, igniting endless debates regarding how such ordinary entities could possibly have won the dual favor of the two most stunning omegas. Now presented with a live opportunity to investigate the phenomenon firsthand, virtually no one was willing to bypass the spectacle. Even numerous alphas who counted themselves among Muir's devoted admirers swarmed into Colin's livestream room instead, driven by the realization that an alpha who had hooked both omega twins—taking the first date with Colin and the second with Muir—represented an exponentially magnified threat.

While the dates hovered on the verge of officially opening, the live commentary feeds inside the chat boxes surged with frantic, speculative discourse.

Certain spectators hazarded guesses, questioning whether the livestream might actually broadcast a catfight where two omegas openly vied for a single man, instantly triggering a barrage of vehement objections from multiple factions within the commentary stream.

Adoring fans and admirers of Colin among the alphas and betas chimed in frantically: I refuse to believe it, I simply refuse! My dream omega Colin is so aloof and cold; in the past, he never spared a single upright glance for any alpha, displaying zero interest in those reeking beasts whatsoever. How could he suddenly develop a fancy for this particular alpha and launch into a tug-of-war over him?

Some viewers even clipped and reposted footage from the previous year's matching cycle featuring Colin, demonstrating how unyielding and frigid his demeanor remained regardless of how hard various alphas exerted themselves to capture his attention—his expression perpetually stamped with absolute apathy and total disinterest.

Conversely, the camp supporting Muir among the alphas and betas launched an equally fierce rebuttal: My Muir is drop-dead gorgeous and possesses exceptionally elevated standards; how could he possibly fall for such a thoroughly mediocre-looking alpha? Any casual suitor trailing after Muir could easily run circles around this guy.

Meanwhile, the voice of reason voiced by neutral spectators who appreciated both sides argued that regardless of all else, the target alpha indeed cut an exceedingly ordinary figure, making it tough to fathom how their dream omegas could ever grow enamored with such an individual—let alone engage in mutual competition, which felt like an absolute nightmare. Yet rendering definitive conclusions prematurely remained unwise, as everything would unfold clearly once the dates officially commenced.

Amidst this ferocious public debate sweeping across the star-net, the perpetually blackened video screens suddenly burst into illumination. Acting with the absolute efficacy of an instant mute button, the activation of the streams obliterated every competing voice across the network, plunging all spectators into hushed, breathless silence as they fixed their gazes straight upon the visual feeds.

As anticipation peaked, the projections revealed a quiet, secluded dining booth framed gracefully by decorative greenery and architectural dividers, where the long-awaited principals sat facing one another across the table.
