Chapter 50
After getting into the car, Xia Linxia proactively offered her a pillow: "You should sleep for a while."
Ji Fengxue didn't use the pillow but held it in her arms, closing her eyes to rest. Xia Linxia took out her phone and chatted with Qiu Xingzhou, congratulating each other on getting movie roles and then having a big reunion. While they were chatting happily, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy.
She turned her head and saw Ji Fengxue leaning on her shoulder as the car swayed. She supported her face, adjusting it to a comfortable angle, and her fingers brushed against it, finding her skin quite smooth. She couldn't help but touch it again, pinching it. Damn, it was a bit addictive. She withdrew her hand and turned her head to touch her own face, which was also quite smooth. Why didn't she want to keep touching it?
While she was thinking, she didn't notice the person leaning on her slowly curve her lips.
When they arrived at the villa, they saw that the other two cars were already parked outside, realizing they were the last to arrive. After waking Ji Fengxue, she dashed out of the car and ran inside shouting, "Wanyi! Sister Shuang! I'm back!"
"Ahhh Linxia!" Song Wanyi rushed out of her room, and the two embraced warmly in the living room. "Congratulations on starring in Director Chen's new drama!"
"Thank you! I heard your wedding date is set, congratulations!" The two hugged and spun around, jumping.
A moment later, Song Wanyi suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and a cold gaze shot at her. She looked back upstairs, but there was no sign of Xue Hui, and then she looked at Ji Fengxue at the door. Ji Fengxue walked in with a smile, "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Song Wanyi quickly let go, surprised and curious. She had hugged Xia Linxia from time to time before, and Teacher Ji didn't seem to mind, so why did she seem so angry now? "You're going to star together, it's exciting just thinking about it," Song Wanyi said with a smile.
Xia Linxia proudly shook her head, "Of course, Director Chen must have been attracted by my personal charm."
Fang Qiushuang stepped forward and said cheerfully, "I know Lao Chen. He only chooses people he likes, so it seems Xia Xia is really favored by him." Xia Linxia waved her hands humbly, flattered, "It's alright, just liked a little, hehe."
After dinner, Song Wanyi ran into their room, saying she wanted to choose a wedding dress and get their opinions. Xia Linxia and Song Wanyi flipped through the promotional pages, their eyes dazzled by the beautiful wedding dresses. From excitement to numbness, their eyes became vacant: "They all look the same. Just pick one that fits well. Why is getting married so troublesome? Shouldn't these trivial matters be handed over to others?"
"You have no sense of romance," Song Wanyi clicked her tongue. "What do you know? Marriage is about preparing bit by bit, and only on the wedding day will it feel meaningful." Xia Linxia rolled over and looked at the ceiling, shaking her head and sighing, "What's the point? Isn't it just a formality?"
"You're still young, you don't understand the meaning of marriage," Song Wanyi also rolled over, holding up the promotional page, and asked curiously, "Xia Xia, what kind of wedding dress will you choose when you get married?"
"I haven't thought about it," Xia Linxia pondered for a moment. "If I had to choose, I'd definitely pick the most expensive one."
"That's great." Song Wanyi's status wasn't as high as hers, and she didn't earn as much. She couldn't casually say she'd pick the most expensive one, as marriage would soon be filled with the mundane realities of life. At this moment, someone walked in through the door.
Song Wanyi said, "Teacher Ji, can you give me some advice? Linxia is no good."
"Who are you calling no good!" Xia Linxia reached out to scratch her. Song Wanyi dodged repeatedly, and Xia Linxia kept moving towards her, desperately trying to grab her. Suddenly, a hand firmly grasped her suspended wrist.
Xia Linxia looked at Ji Fengxue and blinked, "Why are you stopping me? Aren't you going to help me hit her?" Ji Fengxue ignored her, smiled at Song Wanyi, and said, "Sorry, she's too mischievous. I'll help you look at wedding dresses."
"Okay." Song Wanyi, rescued, got up and handed the booklet to Ji Fengxue, then got off the bed and sat next to her. Xia Linxia was still being held, and she patted the bed, "Lao Ji, why don't you let me go first."
Ji Fengxue looked at the booklet, let go, raised her hand to stroke her head, and said without looking back, "Be good, we'll talk for a bit. Go downstairs and get some fruit."
Xia Linxia went downstairs, took a large watermelon from the refrigerator, cut a few slices, and brought them up. As she reached the doorway, she saw the two people inside talking earnestly about tailoring and design, which she didn't understand, but she was inexplicably drawn to their expressions. It was as if they were discussing something sacred, and Song Wanyi had a happy smile on her face. Ji Fengxue's eyes were gentle, and she spoke to Song Wanyi with a side glance, her face seemingly bathed in the afternoon sun, shining with an almost unreal radiance.
"Linxia, come here quickly." Song Wanyi looked at Xia Linxia standing at the door and beckoned, "I think the dress Teacher Ji picked is good, what do you think?" Xia Linxia put the watermelon aside, walked over, and looked closely at the dress, which was indeed beautiful. She turned her head slightly, about to say it was nice, when she unexpectedly met Ji Fengxue's gaze. One was sitting, the other was bending over, but their eyes were locked.
Ji Fengxue slowly curved her lips, "What do you think?" Xia Linxia's lips moved, "Beautiful."
"I think it's beautiful too, so let's go with this one. Thank you, Linxia and Teacher Ji." Song Wanyi, excited, patted Xia Linxia hard on the back. Xia Linxia, caught off guard, bent her knees and fell directly onto Ji Fengxue, grabbing her arms in a panic and burying her face in her chest, which was incredibly soft.
Ji Fengxue: "..." Xia Linxia: "..."
[It's confirmed, Song Wanyi is an undercover agent sent by the audience hahaha]
[I want to bury my face too, what am I saying]
[Such a composed posture, such skillful technique, Xia Linxia, are you a martial artist?]
[I just like to praise comments that make Xia Linxia embarrassed]
[Xia Linxia, bury your chest and go for it, see you on the trending searches]
[Congratulations to Xia Linxia for occupying the Twin Peaks high ground!]
[I suspect the comment section is being lewd, but there's no evidence]
[Princess who passed the review]
[Congratulations to Song Wanyi! I want to eat wedding candy!]
[I want to see Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue in wedding dresses, sob sob sob]
Xia Linxia stood up flustered, grabbed a piece of watermelon without looking up, and ran out, "I'm going to feed Xia Wudi, bye."
"What's wrong with her?" Song Wanyi scratched her head, then saw Ji Fengxue look up and smile at her with relief, giving her the feeling of "you're a good person." Song Wanyi: "?"
"It's hot, have some watermelon," Ji Fengxue said with a smile.
Downstairs, Tang Yuande and Xue Hui, who were playing chess, both looked at Xia Linxia, who was sitting between them, their faces bewildered. After a long time, Tang Yuande looked at her wide, round eyes, thinking she was bursting with curiosity, and asked, "Xia Xia, do you want to play a game?"
Xia Linxia shook her head and continued to eat watermelon, "Crunch, crunch." Tang Yuande and Xue Hui had no choice but to make a few moves each. They couldn't ignore Xia Linxia's presence. She stared intently at the chess pieces, with watermelon juice smeared on her face, making it red.
Just then, Fang Qiushuang called Tang Yuande from upstairs. He immediately put down his pieces and stood up, "Come, Xia Xia, you play this game for me." Xue Hui, who was about to win, said: "..."
"Okay." Xia Linxia threw away the melon rind, wiped her face, washed her hands, and then sat down as if in meditation. Holding a white piece with two fingers, she calmly placed it in the center of the grid. Xue Hui: "..."
[Hahahaha, all that effort, but the result is pathetic]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter]
[What's the shadow area of Xue Hui's heart right now?]
[Looking at this posture, I thought she was a master! And she is indeed a master!]
Xue Hui wiped the non-existent sweat and said, "Linxia, do you know we're playing Go?"
"Ah?" Xia Linxia was stunned. She looked closely at the chessboard and then came to her senses, slapping her forehead. "Oh! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Xue Hui: "..." You've been staring for three minutes!
"I'll start again." Xia Linxia took back the move she had just made. Xue Hui: "..."
Xia Linxia fiddled with the chess piece, looking at the endgame with confusion. [That imposing manner just now made me laugh so hard, she placed a piece for Gomoku]
[I won't be surprised by whatever move she makes next, hahaha]
[Let's bet, will Xia Linxia deny it after losing?]
[I bet one dollar and twenty cents, she'll definitely flip the board hahaha]
Clack. Xia Linxia placed a piece.
Xue Hui looked closely, his expression becoming serious. He observed her expression carefully, unsure if she had made a mistake. Xia Linxia gave him a silly smile. Xue Hui relaxed, thought for a moment, and then directly blocked her path. Xia Linxia casually picked up a piece and placed it, looking relaxed and indifferent. The audience had already started betting on how long it would take for Xia Linxia to lose.
Only Xue Hui was sweating. Xia Linxia, while appearing to play carelessly, would sometimes block his path, and other times would go around to the outer edge and place a piece randomly, completely disrupting his vision. By the time he came to his senses, he was already surrounded.
Xia Linxia raised her eyebrows, held the last chess piece, and placed it, "Hehe, thank you for letting me win." Xue Hui was dumbfounded.
The audience was dumbfounded, even forgetting to send comments. Half a minute later, the comments were all a uniform "????????????"
[Holy crap? What happened?]
[I've never played Go, so is Xue Hui's expression now because he lost?!]
[No way, no way, Xia Linxia didn't actually beat Xue Hui, did she?]
[Hahaha Xia Xia is awesome!]
Xue Hui asked in surprise, "When did you learn?"
"Ah, I often played with my dad when I was younger," Xia Linxia waved her hand, her words filled with tears. "When he couldn't beat me, he hired several masters to play with me, insisting on winning, and then I lost for many years." Xue Hui was dumbfounded. After a long pause, he immediately reset the chessboard and said cheerfully, "Let's play again!"
Xia Linxia had nothing else to do anyway, so she played chess with him again. This time, Xue Hui no longer underestimated her and played every move very seriously. At this moment, Song Wanyi's laughter came from upstairs. Xia Linxia looked up and asked Xue Hui, "Wanyi is busy choosing a wedding dress, why are you so relaxed?"
"Who says I'm relaxed? I'm very nervous," Xue Hui said. "Don't you see I'm playing chess to relieve my tension?"
"You've been dating for so many years, and you're still nervous?" Xia Linxia asked curiously. "Of course, I am. She's just my girlfriend now," Xue Hui placed a piece with a click and looked up, smiling. "But soon, she'll be my wife. In terms of law and morality, she'll be my only partner for the rest of my life. Tell me, can I not be nervous?"
Xia Linxia nodded thoughtfully, "Makes sense."
"What about you and Teacher Ji? Have you considered when you'll get married?" Xue Hui asked.
"What?!" Xia Linxia's hand trembled, and the chess piece fell directly onto the board. "Get married? We only started dating not long ago!" Xue Hui smiled, "Love isn't measured by time. Wanyi and I initially delayed because we wanted to focus on our work. But I see that your relationship with Teacher Ji is good, and perhaps we'll be drinking your wedding wine soon."
Xia Linxia suddenly flipped the chessboard, "I'm going to feed Xia Wudi, bye." Xue Hui: "?"
[Hahahaha, the shadow area of Xue Hui's heart is gradually expanding]
[I guessed Xia Linxia would flip the board, but I never expected it to be under such circumstances, hahaha]
[Xia Linxia seems unusually shy today!]
[So when are you getting married! I ask with a knife in my hand]
Xue Hui didn't know what was wrong with her, so he picked up the scattered black and white pieces. At this moment, a hand appeared in his line of sight. Ji Fengxue bent down and picked up a few pieces, smiling at him, "Don't be angry, she didn't do it on purpose."
"Don't worry, I'm not angry. I have to thank you for helping Wanyi choose her wedding dress," Xue Hui smiled. "By the way, Linxia ran out."
"I see. I'll go find her then," Ji Fengxue stood up, her eyes full of smiles. "I'll prepare dinner tonight." Xue Hui said, "You seem very happy."
Ji Fengxue didn't deny it. As she passed him, she patted his shoulder, her eyes curved, "You and Wanyi are truly the most outstanding couple I've ever seen." Xue Hui was surprised, "What do you mean?"
Ji Fengxue walked to the door and saw Xia Linxia squatting by the sink, playing with the water aimlessly. She smiled, "Xia Xia, come back, it's hot outside." Xia Linxia said without turning her head, "You want me to come back, so I'll come back? Who do you think you are?"
After that, Ji Fengxue didn't say anything else. After a long time, she couldn't help but look back secretly, only to see Ji Fengxue still standing at the door watching her. She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, just feeling very hot. At this moment, Ji Fengxue got a small fan from somewhere and held it in her hand, standing in place, blowing the wind, her hair gently fluttering. She smiled triumphantly at Xia Linxia. It was clear she was deliberately blowing it for her to see.
Xia Linxia, furious, walked back to snatch the fan. Ji Fengxue smiled and hid it behind her. Xia Linxia put her hands behind her, encircling Ji Fengxue in her arms, and snatched the small fan. After smiling for a moment, her gaze stopped at Ji Fengxue's face, which was inches away. Xia Linxia's forehead was still sweating, and she was breathing lightly, their breaths intertwining. For a moment, she felt that her breath might disturb her serene smile.
A subtle smile flashed in Ji Fengxue's eyes. She reached out and tucked the hair that had fallen by her ear behind it, and whispered, "Still don't want to let go?" Xia Linxia froze for three seconds, then, as if burned, she suddenly let go, her cheeks burning, and ran back to the water pool. "Stupid Wudi, you're disobedient all day, I'm not feeding you anymore." Xia Wudi: "?"
