After Cannon Fodder A Accidentally Marked the Cold Film Queen - Chapter 53
The night was quiet. The hotel room’s window offered a vast view, the sea of lights below dyed warm colors by the neon.
Inside the room, breathing was heavy, mingling together.
Shen Qingyu turned her head. Her high nose brushed against Zhu Songning’s face—a cool touch, yet one that beckoned people to sink into it.
The water was still leaking, drip, drip, drip, quickly soaking the pristine white sheets, leaving a dark, spreading mark.
Shen Qingyu urged her, “Hurry up.”
But Zhu Songning was clearly not an excellent or competent repairman.
Under her “repairs,” the leak grew larger and larger. All the water seemed to gather at that one spot, surging out.
The scents of jasmine tea and green floral notes became inextricably intertwined, quickly overpowering the room’s original incense and dominating the entire space.
The room Shen Qingyu was staying in was naturally the most expensive and best in the entire hotel, located on a high floor. The living room featured a massive floor-to-ceiling window that offered a panoramic view of half of North City.
Zhu Songning had noticed it the moment she walked in.
She picked up the Omega, who was lazily sprawled on the bed, from behind.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Shen Qingyu poked her with a fingertip. “Didn’t Master Zhu say she was going to stop the water? What’s going on now? Giving up halfway?”
The hand Zhu Songning had on her waist couldn’t take it anymore and tightened its grip until the Omega in her arms cried out in a yelp.
“No more repairs. The water keeps flowing, it can’t be stopped.”
As she said this, her expression was serious and earnest, as if she were genuinely the repair worker Shen Qingyu had specifically hired.
Shen Qingyu’s innocent black eyes lowered, glancing at the hand wrapped around her waist.
“Then what should we do? Master Zhu, that sounds quite irresponsible.”
The dissatisfaction in her tone was so thick, as if the current result had nothing to do with her, the “culprit.”
Zhu Songning pondered for a moment, quickened her pace, and set her down by the living room window.
Shen Qingyu’s back suddenly pressed against the cold, chilling glass, causing her body to shiver uncontrollably.
“It’s cold, Ningning.”
She faced Zhu Songning, pulling down on the Christmas reindeer outfit the Alpha was wearing, which was the same color as hers.
“What are you trying to do?”
Before she could even react, she saw Zhu Songning single-handedly peel off her own reindeer jacket, leaving only the tank top underneath.
Her arm was exposed to the air. Shen Qingyu followed her long fingers upward to the Alpha’s strong and powerful forearm.
Zhu Songning had an almost fanatical dedication to fitness, firmly believing that physical strength was just as important as mental strength.
Shen Qingyu also loved her firm arm muscles. Unable to resist, her hand impolitely slid up and squeezed. Seeing Zhu Songning didn’t resist, she pinched it again, involuntarily.
Nice texture.
Zhu Songning reached out and held the back of her head, worried she would accidentally hit the glass behind her.
She looked at the person who was happily playing with her arm and spoke in a husky voice, “Based on the current situation, I believe that unblocking is better than blocking.”
After saying this, she even mockingly asked Shen Qingyu, “What do you think, Sister?”
Shen Qingyu smiled and looked at her, “I think you sound very professional…”
The moment her word of permission drifted into Zhu Songning’s ears, she was flipped around.
Facing the high altitude, one step forward, and you could look up at the twinkling stars or down at the hundred-meter drop.
The movement was too sudden, she wasn’t prepared, and a look of expected panic crossed her face.
But contrary to the Alpha’s guess, Shen Qingyu’s pupils widened slightly not because of fear, but because of excitement.
She liked standing at such a height to look down. Or rather, from birth until now, she had been striving for the right and freedom to go upward.
Upward, the stars were within reach; downward was the path she had taken step by step.
She had pondered countless times while standing at high places. Therefore, this scenery was not a threat from the altitude to her, but a shallow, almost instinctive sense of excitement surging from her blood.
Tides surged in waves, much like her inner turmoil at that moment.
The lights in the living room were bright, projecting the scene of the two embracing onto the massive floor-to-ceiling window.
“Nervous?”
Zhu Songning held her even tighter.
Shen Qingyu gently shook her head.
Zhu Songning wiggled her finger and said again, “But Sister is biting so tightly.”
Upon hearing her words, Shen Qingyu slightly opened her mouth.
The warm air outside the window steamed the glass with a thin layer of mist. The Omega’s breath pressed close, and with one exhale, the mist thickened, expanding outward from the center to the edges.
The traffic, the red and green lights outside, were also shrouded in a hazy filter.
“Does this mean we won’t be seen by people outside?”
Shen Qingyu bit the finger Zhu Songning offered her, biting the Alpha’s fingertip until it was pale.
They were dozens of stories high; how could anyone possibly see them?
Furthermore, all the hotel’s glass was privacy-coated; you could see out from the inside, but the outside couldn’t see clearly in.
Shen Qingyu’s words were quite nonsensical.
Zhu Songning couldn’t think of any meaning for this kind of talk other than foreplay.
Her nose rubbed against the scent gland at the back of Shen Qingyu’s neck. That gland was rubbed until it was slightly raised and quickly turned red.
“It’s no use, Sister,” Zhu Songning felt her finger being enclosed even more tightly by the soft, wet, and hot coil. The Omega’s tongue kissed her other hand in circles. Her body temperature, mixed with the room’s warm air, marked this small space with the Alpha’s domain.
“They will see. The entire city will see Sister being pressed against the window by me. No one other than me has seen Sister’s cheeks flushed red and her body trembling, right?”
Zhu Songning whispered into her ear, as if the situation were truly playing out that way.
Even the intimate whispers between lovers made the atmosphere grow thicker and more viscous.
“Sister, thinking about being watched by so many people, why are you getting even more excited?”
Zhu Songning used her wet hand to draw on the misty glass.
Shen Qingyu collapsed softly into her arms, her chest pressed brutally against the cold, moisture-laden glass. She watched helplessly as Zhu Songning drew and wrote on the fogged-up glass.
Zhu Songning’s drawing skills were quite good; Shen Qingyu had already noticed this back when she left notes and secretly drew her.
A few quick strokes were enough to vividly portray the intended meaning, which was fully expressed in the drawing.
After finishing her “great masterpiece,” Zhu Songning finally released her.
Shen Qingyu stepped back a few paces to get a clear look at the so-called great drawing Zhu Songning had left on the glass.
What she saw was a playful and adorable fawn snuggling up to the beautiful and charming bunny beside it.
There was also a sentence she had written with a sharp, bold stroke:
“Belongs to Zhu Songning.”
An arrow pointed to the outline that had been imprinted on the glass when she was pressed against it.
How childish.
Taking advantage of Zhu Songning turning away, Shen Qingyu secretly took a picture of the simple line drawings of the two animals and saved it in her favorite photo album.
She couldn’t stop giggling while Zhu Songning carried her to take a bath.
Zhu Songning: “What’s so funny?”
Shen Qingyu was bent over in the bathtub, roaring with laughter: “You are so childish.”
Zhu Songning gave a tight, unnatural smile: “Say that again?”
Shen Qingyu held it in for ten seconds before bursting into laughter.
The final consequence was that Zhu Songning found a washable marker somewhere and, after Shen Qingyu finished her bath, deliberately wrote the same sentence on the same part of her body.
—”Shen Qingyu belongs to Zhu Songning.”
Shen Qingyu knew that Zhu Songning didn’t mean to treat her as a possession.
She rather liked Zhu Songning’s slight possessiveness over her.
Zhu Songning flew back to Su City the next morning. Shen Qingyu’s work there was not yet finished, so she didn’t return with her.
After the public performance stage, the number of trainees had been reduced by nearly half.
There was just one last round before the final formation of the group. Logically, Xu Zhe and her team shouldn’t be sitting still during this time, yet they hadn’t made any moves, which made Zhu Songning quite concerned.
Would the original ending of the book change this easily?
She picked up her spoon, took a scoop of tapioca into her mouth, and looked at Luo Chuanhe across from her, who was staring blankly at her coffee art.
She had originally thought Luo Chuanhe invited her out to discuss Youth Trainee 2, specifically about the final solo and collaborative stages.
According to the competition rules, in the final round, the top ten would get a chance to showcase themselves with a solo performance, followed by a freely-formed group stage for all trainees, and finally, the performance of the theme song.
Everyone had basically been preparing for this during this period. Zhu Songning’s early return today was also due to the preparation for the stage.
However, the person who invited her out was lost in her own thoughts.
She reached out and waved her hand in front of Luo Chuanhe’s eyes: “Wake up.”
“So heartbroken, anyone would think you’ve been dumped.”
Luo Chuanhe stirred her coffee, messing up the exquisite latte art on the surface.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly looked up and asked Zhu Songning, “Do you know what it means to like someone?”
Zhu Songning nearly spat out a mouthful of tapioca milk.
“Are you in a relationship?”
She quietly pricked up her ears.
“Who is it? The Five-Million-Yuan Sister from last time?”
Luo Chuanhe rolled her eyes: “…Forget it. Why am I asking someone whose love life has been zero since childhood?”
Zhu Songning felt deeply offended.
She casually pulled up her sleeve, revealing a hair tie on her wrist.
Zhu Songning was not someone who liked troublesome accessories, always opting for a simple rubber band for a comfortable, low ponytail.
Luo Chuanhe’s eyes widened: “No way? Who is it?”
Zhu Songning: “You go first.”
The two were locked in a stalemate in the corner of the coffee shop.
A few minutes later, after negotiating, Luo Chuanhe said, “Then let’s say it at the same time.”
Counting down three seconds.
3, 2, 1.
Their voices sounded simultaneously.
“Shen Qingmu.”
“Shen Qingyu.”
The similar names were spoken at the same time, instantly making the atmosphere incredibly strange.
The wind outside the window carried rain and fallen leaves, sweeping them across the ground, leaving behind a mess.
Luo Chuanhe stood up with a swoosh and grabbed Zhu Songning by the collar.
“You’re dating my idol?”
“I’m seriously impressed, Zhu Songning, how are you so lucky?”
