Chapter 86
Ji Fengxue started to bargain, "How about you sleep with me again?"
Xia Linxia began to consider the rationality of this suggestion and asked, "What's your price?"
"I'll give you a couple's price, 66,666 yuan."
Xia Linxia calculated and thought it seemed a bit worthwhile, "Okay, I'll put it on your tab for now."
"But you can't sleep with me right now, so why don't I go first?" Ji Fengxue propped herself up on the edge of the bed, bent over, and covered her mouth, "Keep it on the tab."
"?" Something felt wrong, but she was too dazed to argue.
Ji Fengxue was concerned about her body and didn't go all the way. As it got dark outside, she ordered two dinners. As they were eating, the doorbell rang frantically.
Xia Linxia immediately burrowed into the covers, hiding herself perfectly. "It must be Xiang Huaimeng! I can't be seen like this, don't let them in."
Ji Fengxue went to open the door, and indeed, Xiang Huaimeng and Chen Nian were outside.
"When are you planning to go back? The flight is going to be delayed," Xiang Huaimeng said.
"We're going back tomorrow."
"Then I'll change my ticket. You can't play around tomorrow, you still have a lot of schedules," Xiang Huaimeng said, glancing inside at the pile on the bed. "Xia Linxia, did you hear that?"
The pile of covers nodded, remaining silent.
Xiang Huaimeng's gaze swept around. "Then we'll go back to our room. Call Chen Nian if you need anything, don't call me."
"Okay." Ji Fengxue watched them leave.
Xiang Huaimeng entered the elevator and looked up at the sky, speechless. "Do you think Xia Linxia is stupid? Hiding from what? Ji Fengxue has a whole circle of marks on her neck, do they really think we can't see them?"
Chen Nian shrugged, thinking, Maybe Ji Fengxue deliberately let you see them.
"They're gone." Ji Fengxue lifted the covers and found a sulking Xia Linxia, unable to help but pinch her cheek.
"It's all your fault, I can't be seen now." Xia Linxia still had to protect her voice and couldn't speak loudly. She looked down at her exposed skin. "There are several galas and award ceremonies coming up, how am I supposed to wear a dress?"
"Then wear pants," Ji Fengxue suggested. "Pants are warmer, and you can secretly add thermal underwear."
"Are you really going to wear thermal underwear to the awards ceremony!" Her voice protection failed.
Ji Fengxue suddenly fell silent.
Xia Linxia blinked. "No way? You actually wore them?"
"It's colder outside when walking the red carpet," Ji Fengxue explained. "Besides, the hem of the dress is long, and no one will see if you wear thermal underwear."
...As expected, she was at the age where she needed to protect her old, cold legs.
That night, the two lay in bed watching movies and chatting. As they talked, Xia Linxia got sleepy again. Before sleeping, she specifically looked at Ji Fengxue.
"Don't worry, we're just sleeping tonight," Ji Fengxue promised.
"Lying is for puppies." Xia Linxia closed her eyes. After a long while, she suddenly moved closer to Ji Fengxue, snuggling into her embrace. Only after the other's arms wrapped around her did she fall asleep with peace of mind.
Ji Fengxue, however, couldn't sleep.
She had tasted the sweetness of it.
Alas.
The next day, Xia Linxia, well-rested, was once again an unkillable, playful Xia. Her morning exercises were done with great vigor, and Ji Fengxue watched her intently from the side.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Linxia asked.
"Calculating your stamina."
"Full marks," Xia Linxia said, then felt something was off. Meeting Ji Fengxue's meaningful gaze, she suddenly understood and sneered, walking over to lift her chin. "Very good, you wait to be exploited next time."
Ji Fengxue smiled. "Please do it quickly."
...Xia Linxia wanted to hit her but couldn't bear to, so she resorted to throwing a pillow.
After a period of playful banter, their agents arrived to pick them up, and the group headed to the airport. There were often paparazzi filming at the airport. As soon as they saw them get out of the car, they started following and taking candid shots.
Normally, Xia Linxia would have taken a few airport fashion photos on the spot, but today, after playing around, she didn't have time to do her makeup properly and left with just a hat on.
She lowered the brim of her hat and leaned close to Ji Fengxue, half her face buried in her shoulder. "Lao Ji, quickly protect my divine beauty, don't let it collapse."
Ji Fengxue smiled a few times, pulled her scarf up a bit, and hugged her as they went to the waiting lounge.
[Airport photos of Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue are out]
[Why are they only returning to Beijing today? Didn't the New Year's Eve event end the night before last?]
[The couple must have gone on a date. Tsk, look at Ji Fengxue's protective gesture towards her wife, it's getting smoother and smoother.]
[Xiaxia finally looks a little like a little bird leaning on someone. Mom is so relieved!]
[Teacher Ji looks a bit 'a' in this photo! When she looks at the camera with her head tilted, her eyes are so cool! ]
[The video of the two dancing together has an unparalleled playback volume. After seeing the beautiful photos, I went back to loop the video. It's truly a joy in life.]
There were many events at the end of the year, including quite a few galas and award ceremonies. Then, fans noticed that when Xia Linxia attended a certain event celebration, she didn't wear a fairy-like dress as she usually did, but a sharp suit, giving off a "female CEO" vibe.
A group of female fans screamed "Husband, husband!" and then, upon seeing the actual "husband" wearing a long dress, they suddenly understood something!
Tonight's event was a film industry banquet, attended by almost all filmmakers. In other words, they were all seniors. Chen Lianjie had invited the three main actors.
Xia Linxia knew this was Chen Lianjie giving opportunities to them, the younger generation, and felt inexplicably nervous. These were all connections! Even though she dominated TV dramas and variety shows, in front of these screen veterans, she was still a bit lacking.
Fortunately, this nervousness dissipated when she saw Qiu Xingzhou, her companion. It was clear that Qiu Xingzhou had the same idea, and his gaze towards her became much more friendly.
Qiu Xingzhou was dressed impeccably, without eye makeup, wearing only a decent suit. He walked up to her and asked, "Where's Teacher Ji?"
"She went to the restroom." Xia Linxia pulled him to a corner. "Who do you know?"
Qiu Xingzhou looked around and recognized everyone, but the big shots didn't recognize him. He suggested, "Where's Director Chen? Let's go find him first."
"He's over there." Xia Linxia pointed to the seats in the center, where several of the most influential directors were chatting and laughing. Chen Lianjie, as one of their most promising successors, was among them.
Qiu Xingzhou wiped away some sweat, holding his wine glass, and first went with her to find some other peripheral figures to boost his confidence.
"Oh, you two are wearing what looks like couple's outfits," a veteran supporting actress teased with a smile.
Xia Linxia: "..."
Qiu Xingzhou: "..."
Silence and tears.
"We're wearing father-son outfits, of course they look alike," Xia Linxia said with a sheepish smile. She also wanted to wear a beautiful dress! It was all because of...
"You're here." The instigator suddenly appeared behind them. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the veteran supporting actress, she took them away. "Let me introduce you to some directors first."
"That would be great," Qiu Xingzhou smiled and whispered in Xia Linxia's ear, "Good girl, this body of yours was worth selling."
Xia Linxia elbowed him.
Ji Fengxue, holding Xia Linxia's hand, walked straight to the central C position, holding a wine glass in her other hand, and offered a polite smile. "Director Wang, Director Yu, Brother Yu, Director Chen, long time no see."
"It's Fengxue, it has been a long time. I heard you just finished filming Lianjie's movie?" The eldest, Director Wang, smiled and then shifted his gaze to Xia Linxia and Qiu Xingzhou.
"Yes, I'm very happy to be collaborating with Director Chen for the second time," Ji Fengxue smiled and introduced, "These two are also the main actors in the film. This is Xia Linxia, who is also my girlfriend, and that is Qiu Xingzhou."
"I have an impression," Director Wang rarely paid attention to idols, but he had heard that Ji Fengxue had publicly come out and openly admitted to having a girlfriend, which had indeed caused a stir in the film industry. "The young lady is quite good-looking, you two are quite a match."
"Thank you, Director Wang," Xia Linxia smiled sweetly. "I'll toast you all. Thank you for leaving so many good works in film history."
Qiu Xingzhou also praised them generously.
"Young people nowadays are quite eloquent, hahahaha," another director laughed heartily.
Chen Lianjie also put in a good word, and the directors all responded with smiles, which helped to improve their favorability. If they were lucky, they might even be offered important supporting roles.
After toasting, the three of them wisely retreated, but after the previous interaction, many people had noticed their presence and came forward to greet them.
Ji Fengxue stood to the side, watching the two of them gradually transition from nervousness to ease, and smiled knowingly.
The path can be led by others, but it is ultimately oneself who walks it. This kind of opportunity had been given to Xiao Yuran before, but unfortunately, she didn't seize it, always hiding behind her, hoping that good luck would come to her on its own.
Xia Linxia and Qiu Xingzhou were both very attractive and had a lot to talk about. They even managed to throw in some jokes while cooperating, making those around them laugh heartily.
Xia Linxia drank a few glasses of wine and, seeing the piano in the corner, became a little envious. She subconsciously glanced at Ji Fengxue. Ji Fengxue nodded encouragingly, and she sat down at the piano and began to play a tune.
The attendees were first stunned, then smiled with satisfaction, and continued to mingle with like-minded colleagues.
Ji Fengxue stood by the piano and said, "It's this song."
"Mhm, I've already written the lyrics, but it still needs some refinement. Wait for me," Xia Linxia looked up at her.
Ji Fengxue's eyes curved slightly. "Okay."
The bright orange-yellow chandelier emitted warmth, reflecting in their eyes, both filled with deep affection.
After the banquet ended, it was already late. Without paying attention, Xia Linxia got drunk. Ji Fengxue and Qiu Xingzhou helped her into the car. Qiu Xingzhou had someone to pick him up, and they parted ways before getting into their respective cars.
The banquet venue was closer to her home, so she directly instructed Xiao Wang to drive to her place.
When Xia Linxia got drunk, she started to get handsy. Ji Fengxue had to pull down the sunshade and quietly asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Xia Linxia, still tipsy, shook her head after a long while, but her hands were particularly restless, making her mouth dry. She reached out and covered her mouth, "Don't move."
Xia Linxia grabbed her hand and bit her index finger. She didn't bite hard, just like licking an ice cream.
Ji Fengxue: "..." This was killing her.
Finally arriving home, Ji Fengxue patiently removed her makeup and washed her face. Just as she was about to carry her to the bathroom, Xia Linxia refused, burying her head in the covers and mumbling, "No washing, I don't want to wash today, I want to sleep."
"Really not washing?" Ji Fengxue stroked her head and teased her, "You'll smell if you don't wash."
Once Xia Linxia got drunk, her thinking ability would decrease, and her emotions would amplify several times, becoming unpredictable.
Upon hearing this, she immediately sat up cross-legged under the covers. Her eyes, clouded with a drunken haze, blinked. The next second, large tears rolled down from her peach blossom eyes, falling uncontrollably as if they were free. "Boo hoo hoo, you're going to dump me because I smell! Are you a heartbreaker!"
"No, no, I was just teasing you. How could I dislike you?" Ji Fengxue quickly hugged her and wiped her tears. "Don't cry, good girl. If you don't want to wash, then don't wash."
"Then do I smell good?" Xia Linxia asked with a crying voice.
"Especially good," Ji Fengxue sniffed her as if it were true.
Xia Linxia: "Am I beautiful? qa q"
Ji Fengxue gave her a thumbs-up. "Especially beautiful."
Xia Linxia: "Do you like me? qa q"
Ji Fengxue kissed her cheek. "Especially like you."
Xia Linxia seemed satisfied then, sniffling, she lowered her head and wiped her tears with Ji Fengxue's clothes. Then she looked up at her, her eyes still slightly red at the corners. "Then am I a strong top?"
"Yes, you're the strongest," Ji Fengxue said, sweating.
Xia Linxia nodded in satisfaction, then rolled around on the bed, suddenly giggling foolishly. "Heh, I'm a strong top."
"Pfft."
Ji Fengxue let her play for a while, quickly washed up, and had just gotten into bed, about to turn off the light. Xia Linxia, with her back to her, suddenly turned over, placing a hand on her chest. "Am I really a strong top?"
After asking, she even pretended to pinch it hard.
Ji Fengxue: "..."
"Are you or not?" Xia Linxia asked in a cute, fierce tone, pinching again. "Does a strong top do this?"
Ji Fengxue: "..."
"Why aren't you talking?" Xia Linxia's voice became a little tearful again. She leaned over, hugged her face, and kissed her. "Am I too strong? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, wuwuwu..."
Ji Fengxue couldn't take it anymore. She flipped over and pinned her down, gritting her teeth. "This is you deliberately provoking me."
"Ying qa q"
