Chapter 69
The surrounding staff bustled about, preparing to wrap up.
Xia Linxia sat by the bed, her head bowed, unable to snap out of it for a long time. The taste of another person seemed to linger on her lips and tongue, a wild yet gentle plunder on her territory, to which she quickly surrendered.
Now, whenever she thought about it, she couldn't help but recall the scene just now. No one had ever been so audacious. Although she had filmed many kissing scenes, they were almost all gentlemanly pecks on the lips. Ji Fengxue, however, had barged in. How dare she!
Thinking of this, she raised her head and glared hatefully at Ji Fengxue, who was putting on her jacket.
Ji Fengxue sensed her gaze, lowered her head, still with smudged lipstick on her lips, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Xia Linxia turned away awkwardly, her face flushing as she turned her back to her.
At this moment, Xiang Huaimeng ran up to her with a grin and squatted down, holding up her phone. "Hehehe, I caught the scene where you two were kissing! It's amazing, ahhhhhh! Summer CP is so sweet! But you look so silly hahaha!"
Xia Linxia stared in disbelief. "Delete it!"
"No way!" Xiang Huaimeng was extremely smug. Although she knew they were just acting and that the scene was preparation for the film, she couldn't help but secretly take a video as a memento. Perhaps she could even use it to threaten this disobedient artist.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Xia Linxia put her in a chokehold. "Delete it or not?"
"Cough, cough, I'll delete it, I'll delete it." Xiang Huaimeng's face turned red. She deleted the video in front of her and then regained her freedom. "What are you afraid of? When the movie is released, your actual scenes will be even more passionate."
As soon as Xia Linxia let go, Xiang Huaimeng ran away, shouting back, "It doesn't matter if you delete it, I already sent it to Chen Nian hahaha!"
Xia Linxia: "!"
Just as she was about to chase after her, Chen Lianjie called out to them, "Linxia, Fengxue, come and watch the playback. Let's see if there are any issues."
The two walked towards the playback screen simultaneously. Xia Linxia didn't dare to look anywhere else, feigning composure, her gaze fixed on the screen.
The playback audio was a bit chaotic, but the scene on the main screen was enough to stir the imagination. The wind machine blew the bed curtains, lifting and falling to cover the intertwined figures of the two.
As the camera zoomed in, Xia Linxia saw her own face clearly, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with shyness. It was the first time she had seen herself like this, and while she found it hard to believe, she also felt a little proud.
She had completed this scene.
She then turned her gaze to Ji Fengxue's face on the screen, and the confidence she had just built instantly vanished.
During the filming, she was too focused on her own reactions to dare to look at Ji Fengxue. Thus, she missed the changes in Ji Fengxue's eyes, from her initial composure to her gradually rising desire conveyed with just a look and a breath. Then, Ji Fengxue, as if touching a treasure, caressed her face, bit her earlobe, her eyes full of satisfaction.
It wasn't until the end, when Xia Linxia flipped over and pinned her down, that Ji Fengxue's intense emotions seemed to clear up a bit with the impact of their heads colliding. She looked at her in a daze, perhaps recalling her own background or past, and she timely called for a cut and pushed her away.
After watching it once, Ji Fengxue turned to her. "Your performance just now was great."
Xia Linxia: "..."
"Really great. That's why we could cooperate so well later," Ji Fengxue added.
Xia Linxia: "You're not going to praise me so mindlessly just for a kiss, are you?"
Ji Fengxue: "Pfft."
"Alright, alright, if there are no problems, go back and rest early. Don't flirt in front of me," Chen Lianjie said with a smile, ushering them out.
Xia Linxia quickly rushed back to the makeup room and closed the door. Someone knocked. She immediately replied, "I need to change. I'll be out in a moment."
The knocking stopped. She quickly removed her wig and changed her clothes. As she opened the door, she almost bumped into Ji Fengxue standing outside. She immediately stood at attention and then slipped away without looking back. "I'm going back to the hotel first. You can take your time returning!"
In the blink of an eye, she had slipped out the door.
Ji Fengxue withdrew her gaze, turned, and walked into the makeup room, instructing Chen Nian behind her, "Close the door."
Chen Nian closed the door and helped her with her wig, then picked up her casual clothes for her to change into. After finishing, she smiled. "Well done. You kissed her in front of so many people, and you even called it rehearsal."
Ji Fengxue glanced at her.
"Alright, alright, although this method is a bit aggressive, it's effective. You made the little girl blush so much," Chen Nian said, suppressing a laugh. She glanced at the time and saw her sitting motionlessly in the chair. "What are you doing? Aren't you going back yet?"
Ji Fengxue didn't reply.
Chen Nian tilted her head to look at her face and was startled. "Your face... pfft, it's so red."
Hearing this, Ji Fengxue placed the back of her hand on her cheek. The burning heat was difficult to dissipate. Her reflection in the mirror was clearly a tomato.
Chen Nian found it novel and circled around her, marveling, "You always brag about being a seasoned player in love, but I didn't expect you to be so pure!"
Ji Fengxue raised her hand to support her forehead, blocking her face. As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene replayed in her mind: the other person's soft and moist mouth becoming sweet and tender due to her sudden attack, making her mouth dry and thirsty. Moreover, the other person was lying beneath her, innocent and pure, with misty eyes. Only she knew how much effort it took for her to continue the scene when Xia Linxia looked up and pecked her. If not for...
"I'll sleep in your room tonight," she suddenly said.
"What for? Do you still have improper thoughts about me?" Chen Nian teased, then asked curiously, "Are you really so shy that you don't even dare to see her?"
Ji Fengxue shook her head and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I might do something I shouldn't, and it would be hard to handle."
"!" Chen Nian quickly agreed. "Okay, you can come to my place tonight. I'll sleep on the floor."
This was a film crew. She didn't want to wake up the next day to news reports of Xia Linxia attacking Ji Fengxue.
However, after they lingered at the film set for more than half an hour and returned to the hotel, they discovered that Xia Linxia had run even faster and had already settled into Xiang Huaimeng's room.
Chen Nian looked at the message from Xiang Huaimeng, whose excuse was so flimsy.
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Linxia came to my room for a late-night snack just now and had diarrhea. She's staying with me tonight to avoid disturbing the movie queen.
【Chen Nian】: Oh.
Chen Nian showed the message to Ji Fengxue and said, "You can rest assured in your own room. Oh, right, Huaimeng sent me a video earlier. Do you want to see it?"
"What video?"
Chen Nian opened her photo album, handed her the phone, and then went to organize her room and luggage. The weather was getting colder, and she needed to change her clothes.
Ji Fengxue sat on the bed and watched the video. The camera shook a few times at the beginning, then focused on her and Xia Linxia. She kissed Xia Linxia without a word, and Xia Linxia's stunned and shocked expression was clearly visible.
She couldn't help but smile and forwarded the video to herself. Just then, another message arrived from Xiang Huaimeng.
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Is Ji Fengxue asleep?
Ji Fengxue was stunned for a moment. Xiang Huaimeng had never called her by her name directly to her face before, but she quickly dismissed it, assuming she was chatting with friends behind her back and calling her by name.
She glanced at the busy Chen Nian and casually replied.
【Chen Nian】: She's asleep. What about Xia Linxia? Is she asleep?
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Asleep.
【Chen Nian】: Is she angry tonight?
It took half a minute for a reply to come.
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Hehe, why would she be angry? She said it was all just acting, sacrificing for art.
That familiar tone...
Ji Fengxue raised an eyebrow, and in a daze, she understood something, a smile playing on her lips.
【Chen Nian】: That's good. Ji Fengxue also said she felt very sorry.
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Sorry for what???
【Chen Nian】: I wasn't prepared this time. I'll be gentler next time.
"Holy crap!" Xia Linxia shouted, sitting up from the bed. Her face flushed as she complained to Xiang Huaimeng beside her, "Ji Fengxue is so shameless, that bitch, she even dares to fantasize about next time!"
Xiang Huaimeng rolled her eyes, utterly disgusted by Xia Linxia snatching her phone and impersonating her to chat. "Aren't you capable? If you have the guts, flirt back."
Xia Linxia's eyes lit up. "That makes sense."
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Xia Linxia also told me about this. She also feels very sorry.
【Chen Nian】: Sorry for what?
【Xiang Huaimeng】: She seems to have bitten Ji Fengxue. She'll be careful next time.
【Chen Nian】: Okay.
Xia Linxia: ???
"Why is she reacting like this?!" Xia Linxia was furious.
"You're chatting with Chen Nian," Xiang Huaimeng reminded her.
"Oh, right. Look at my memory. Then this reaction is normal."
【Xiang Huaimeng】: Then remember to tell Ji Fengxue.
【Chen Nian】: Okay.
Chen Nian was tidying the wardrobe when she suddenly heard a laugh and looked back at Ji Fengxue. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Ji Fengxue hugged her phone and giggled, curling her legs and shrinking onto the bed, rolling from side to side. "Ah, I just really want to see her."
Chen Nian's eyes widened. Looking at her like this, she was so shocked she could barely speak. "Do you know what you look like now?"
"Like what?"
"A lovesick girl who's returned to being eighteen."
"Hehe."
"Wake up! This isn't the Ji Fengxue I know!" Chen Nian felt helpless. Had Xia Linxia's behavior truly become contagious?
Ji Fengxue touched her heart. They had just met, and now she was starting to miss her again. She sighed, "I want her to come back."
"Aren't you afraid of doing anything improper to her now?" Chen Nian teased.
Ji Fengxue thought about it seriously and honestly confessed her primal desire. "No, if she came back tonight, I would kiss her until she was weak all over, and then..."
Before she could finish, a piece of clothing was suddenly thrown over her face. Chen Nian said speechlessly, "You're old, but your skin isn't that thick, is it?"
Ji Fengxue laughed.
Chen Nian stepped forward and removed the clothes. "Wear this tomorrow. I'm going back. Get some rest early, you hear me?"
After that, she snatched back her phone and, after repeatedly warning her, returned to her room. Thinking of Ji Fengxue's dangerous remarks just now, she still gave a heads-up to Xia Linxia's side.
【Chen Nian】: Absolutely do not let Xia Linxia come back to sleep tonight.
【Xiang Huaimeng】: What's wrong?
【Chen Nian】: Don't ask. Just don't come back.
Xia Linxia was extremely curious. No matter how she asked, she couldn't get a reason, so she started to worry that something had happened to Ji Fengxue. She quickly got out of bed, put on her pajamas, threw on a coat, and prepared to go upstairs to check on things.
The agents and actors were not on the same floor. As soon as the elevator went up, the door opened, and to her surprise, someone was standing at the door. Both of them screamed.
Zhao Tinglu: "Ah!"
Xia Linxia: "Ahhhhhh!"
Zhao Tinglu: "..."
The two looked at each other for a moment. Zhao Tinglu frowned at her sneaky appearance. "Where were you going?"
Xia Linxia said nothing, closed the elevator door, and left. Goodbye.
“...” Zhao Tinglu’s mind flashed with suspicion. Thinking that the other person was not in her room in her pajamas and was acting sneakily, it was as if something bad had happened. Xia Linxia might have cheated and gone to steal someone!
The entertainment industry is so dirty!
Xia Linxia didn't go upstairs anymore. She returned to Xiang Huaimeng's room and prepared to sleep. Xiang Huaimeng tried to climb into bed several times but was kicked away.
"The floor is so cold," Xiang Huaimeng said aggrievedly.
Xia Linxia was helpless. "Then come up, but stay away from me."
Xiang Huaimeng fell asleep curled up in a corner, but Xia Linxia suffered from insomnia. She realized what insomnia felt like. Her mind was exceptionally clear, and many things would inexplicably pop up one after another.
She glanced at the bulging lump of Xiang Huaimeng's covers, finding everything about her displeasing. Lao Ji was much more pleasing to the eye. Her sleeping posture was like offering sacrifices at a grave, so obedient.
Speaking of which, if she ran away, would Lao Ji have insomnia tonight?
After thinking about it, it was almost dawn when she finally fell asleep. But it felt like as soon as she closed her eyes, the alarm clock rang. She turned off the alarm and groggily got up to return to her room.
As fate would have it, she ran into Zhao Tinglu again on the way to filming, meeting at the elevator door.
Zhao Tinglu saw her returning to her room so early in the morning, and her eyes revealed disdain. "You really don't consider us seniors at all..."
"Get out of the way." Xia Linxia, still groggy from waking up, roughly pushed her aside and walked towards her room door without looking back.
"Rude!" Zhao Tinglu tidied her clothes, snorted, and then rolled her eyes as she entered the elevator.
The door opened. Xia Linxia scanned the room and saw that Ji Fengxue was not yet awake. Her heart felt as if it had been clutched.
Ji Fengxue must have had insomnia.
She tiptoed to the bedside, squatted down, wrapped her arms around her knees, and stared intently at her.
The first ray of morning light streamed in, casting a soft glow on Ji Fengxue's face. Unlike Lu Wuyi's image, she herself was more suited to white. Wrapped in a white quilt, only her face was exposed, clean and warm. But undeniably, the dazzling red that appeared on her was extremely cold and beautiful.
Unsure of what she was thinking, she turned her eyes, quietly went to the vanity, took a lipstick, walked closer with a mischievous smile, and drew an 'X' on Ji Fengxue's right cheek.
As if a perfect work of art had been vandalized, she looked at her creation with pride. As she leaned down to add a few more strokes, a hand suddenly grabbed her neck and squeezed the back of her head.
Her body went limp, her knees suddenly weakened, and she fell to her knees before the bed. The lipstick fell onto the quilt, leaving a red mark.
Then the hand exerted a little force, pulling her head forward, and to her disbelief, it accurately met another pair of lips.
"Why did you just come back?" Ji Fengxue murmured, caressing her lips. Her lips, slightly dry from the weather, gradually became moist.
Xia Linxia's body was stiff, yet it felt somewhat soft and difficult to refuse.
Ji Fengxue slowly opened her eyes, her gaze flowing. Seeing her suddenly widened peach blossom eyes, she smiled gently. "Why do you never learn? Close your eyes."
