After Being Reborn, My Ex-Girlfriend Became Obsessed - Chapter 98

The film set was crowded and chaotic. An Yu, dressed in a complicated outfit, stood in a corner, immediately drawing attention. Moreover, the woman in front of her, dressed entirely in black and tightly wrapped up, looked a little strange.

It was unusually dark outside, and she was still wearing large sunglasses, which was a bit hard to justify. She had an employee badge hanging around her neck, but none of the familiar crew members recognized this mysterious woman.

At that moment, An Yu spoke.

“Don’t ignore me.” Her voice was low, soft, and lingering. The crew members standing closer froze instantly.

Normally, An Yu was cold and reserved toward everyone. She wasn’t particularly distant, but she always maintained basic politeness. Hearing her speak so gently like this was the first time in a long while. Those around her immediately looked at the two of them with curiosity, and some were undeniably attracted by An Yu’s beauty.

Lin Duxi was no longer angry. She didn’t respond to An Yu before simply because she didn’t know how to start a conversation. The fact that her girlfriend had disguised herself as a crew member to visit made her feel embarrassed just thinking about it. The mask and sunglasses covered most of her face, but Lin Duxi’s cheeks couldn’t help but flush red.

Sensing the sneaky glances directed at them from all sides, Lin Duxi felt even more shy. She had never cared about others’ stares before, but now that An Yu was disguised as a crew member, it gave her a sense of… secret intimacy. Her mind couldn’t help wandering over various little scenarios.

Lin Duxi reached out, grabbing An Yu’s collar and pulling them closer. Because of the costume An Yu was wearing, she didn’t pull too hard, and An Yu, unguarded, almost bumped into her.

“Let’s go.” Lin Duxi urged, her tone tinged with shyness.

The corners of An Yu’s mouth curved into a smile. Wary of being noticed by Lin Duxi, she shot her a warning glance, then took Lin Duxi’s hand and led her out of this “trouble zone.”

They arrived at An Yu’s dressing room, and as An Yu closed the door, she let out a sigh.

Throughout the journey, she felt as if countless faint gazes were following them. Though not hostile, it still made her uneasy.

Turning to Lin Duxi sitting in the chair, An Yu saw that she had removed her sunglasses and mask, revealing a bare face with no makeup. Her black outfit contrasted beautifully with her fair skin, and her long hair fell casually around her shoulders. Even with minimal effort, she looked breathtaking.

Seeing the blue employee badge on Lin Duxi’s chest, An Yu couldn’t help but wonder.

“Weren’t you coming to visit me on set? How did you suddenly become an employee?” she asked, laughing despite herself. Lin Duxi got a little annoyed.

“My eyes are so swollen. I didn’t want them to see,” Lin Duxi said, turning her head away.

An Yu walked over, squatting in front of her to study her face carefully.

“You look great.”

She considered herself to have good taste, and Lin Duxi looked wonderful now—less aloof, more gentle. She liked this version of Lin Duxi.

Lin Duxi, still turning her head, couldn’t suppress a small smile at An Yu’s sincere compliment, but thinking that An Yu hadn’t recognized her, she forced herself to hold it back.

An Yu pursed her lips, unable to resist smiling; Lin Duxi was so cute now.

“How long have you been here?” she asked cautiously, noticing Lin Duxi’s better mood.

Lin Duxi didn’t respond immediately but stood up, prompting An Yu to rise as well.

Lin Duxi approached her, eyes slightly narrowed, and An Yu suddenly felt uneasy.

“How can you say that? I brushed past you, and you didn’t even notice me!” Lin Duxi had held back for a long time, not wanting An Yu to think she was jealous, but she couldn’t control herself.

How could An Yu not notice? She had made it so obvious!

An Yu paused, her mind racing as she recalled that moment. She realized she had been distracted by messaging Lin Duxi and hadn’t noticed, but still… she hadn’t recognized her.

“I’m sorry,” An Yu said obediently. Lin Duxi’s mouth puckered in what looked like exaggerated sulking.

An Yu’s heart melted completely. She stepped forward and hugged Lin Duxi tightly.

“I was messaging you and didn’t see you, and it made you sad.”

At these words, Lin Duxi’s sulky mouth immediately curved into a smile, though she continued to hum softly in her arms.

An Yu couldn’t help laughing. Her girlfriend was just too cute. Then she remembered something.

“Don’t get your costume dirty with tears. You have a shoot tomorrow,” she said anxiously. After all, if she lost her temper during filming, the entire crew would feel the chill.

Lin Duxi paused, then stepped back three paces.

An Yu quickly added, “I’ll change my clothes first, then come back to hug you.”

Lin Duxi lowered her gaze, mumbling, “Who wants to hug you?”

An Yu replied earnestly, “I want to hug you. An Yu wants to hug Lin Duxi.”

Seeing Lin Duxi finally look up at her, eyes brimming with uncontrollable love, An Yu’s heart quivered. She kissed her before leaving.

As soon as she opened the door, many curious gazes fell on her. She looked around, but everything appeared normal.

A few daring crew members exchanged glances and walked over. Just as they were about to speak, one sharp-eyed crew member noticed that An Yu’s lipstick was slightly smudged—she remembered it being perfect before she went into the dressing room.

The answer was obvious.

She tugged at two others nearby and, before they could speak, rushed to greet An Yu, then forcibly dragged them away.

An Yu was puzzled. She looked down at her outfit—nothing seemed unusual.

That evening, with no scenes scheduled, An Yu changed her clothes and removed her makeup, then brought two boxes of food back to her dressing room.

Meanwhile, news that An Yu’s girlfriend had come to see her spread through the crew chat. Within less than half an hour, almost the entire crew knew.

An Yu’s girlfriend had disguised herself in black, with sunglasses and a mask. Though her face couldn’t be seen, her elegant posture made it obvious that she was also beautiful.

Yet no one connected her to Lin Duxi. Of course, Lin Duxi wouldn’t have disguised herself like that to visit An Yu, and she had just attended an event the day before. She couldn’t have traveled halfway across the country so quickly.

Soon, the news reached online, though the blurry photos didn’t cause much of a stir. Only those who saw her in person truly knew.

But Lin Duxi and An Yu’s CP fans went wild. Some began to worry.

It had been a long time since Lin Duxi and An Yu shared a stage, because the show Hello, Friend had been forced to pause due to Pei Lu. The two had less contact, and fans were already anxious. Now, learning about An Yu’s girlfriend brought mixed emotions.

Happy that An Yu had a girlfriend, but worried that the girlfriend wasn’t Lin Duxi.

The CP fan forums erupted in despair. Fans were either hoping for a possibility or insisting that only the real couple’s confirmation would calm them.

The forum moderator appeared to soothe the fans, saying it was just rumors without proof. Still, there were photos of An Yu holding hands with the woman, so fans felt it was likely true.

Lin Duxi loved browsing CP forums. She often logged in to see interesting posts and even liked some of them.

So, after An Yu left, Lin Duxi stayed online, seeing every post.

When An Yu opened her dressing room door, the first thing she saw was Lin Duxi smiling, sitting in a chair, eyes sparkling like jewels.

An Yu was stunned.

Lin Duxi noticed her gaze and looked directly at her.

“Why are you smiling?” An Yu asked, touched by her expression.

Lin Duxi held up her phone to show her. An Yu saw a large photo of the two of them on the forum, along with their CP name.

“CP forum?”

Lin Duxi nodded. “It seems the news about you visiting spread online, and they’re all talking about it.”

An Yu was surprised. “So fast!”

Lin Duxi continued, “Not only that—they think the person who came to see you wasn’t me.”

She had wrapped herself up to hide her swollen eyes, and it seemed to have worked; the blurry photos didn’t reveal her identity.

Lin Duxi found this both amusing and touching.

An Yu was more shocked, her mind spinning.

“So they think… we broke up?” An Yu guessed the term correctly.

Lin Duxi nodded. She happened to come across a highly upvoted comment and read it to An Yu: “I’m so sad. The CP I was most invested in broke up. I’ll never ship another CP again!”

Lin Duxi, being an award-winning actress, made reading the comment feel like a performance. An Yu blushed, covering her ears, and asked her to stop.

“Let’s watch together,” Lin Duxi said.

An Yu felt like she had forgotten something.

Lin Duxi noticed her distraction and lightly poked her.

An Yu returned her attention to the screen. A post filled almost half the screen, with red and white threads in the photo, caught her gaze.

Familiar… very familiar!

It was her own post!

An Yu nearly jumped from the chair, eyes wide in disbelief. She finally remembered what she had forgotten.

Lin Duxi, sensing her reaction, skillfully suppressed a triumphant smile.

She swiped the post away, but the effect on An Yu lingered. Her mind replayed the scene over and over.

And she realized Lin Duxi had liked this post!

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

An Yu: Oh no! Our secret is out!
