After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 4

Fang Qingying rushed into the hospital at breakneck speed.

When she collided with a solid wall of flesh, she thought surely, she couldn’t be that unlucky as to run straight into Shen Lixie, who was just about to leave, right?

The familiar male voice sounded in her ear, and Fang Qingying froze, her limbs stiffening as if she didn’t know where to put them.

She was dead meat!

“Heh, you’re really something.” Shen Lixie gripped Fang Qingying’s shoulders, listening to the commotion outside about her, and let out a helpless sigh.

“Xie! Xie-ge! I didn’t mean to, believe me?” Fang Qingying jerked her head up, instinctively taking a step back as she waved her hands in explanation.

This was too much for her.

Outside the hospital, reporters swarmed like a pack, along with someone who seemed to be the original host’s biological brother.

And now, standing right in front of her was Shen Lixie, who had once declared, “If you cause trouble, we’re done.”

“I believe you, how could I not believe your talent for stirring up trouble?” Shen Lixie shot her a glance and answered resignedly.

Fang Qingying’s innate ability to attract scandals was truly beyond saving.

The tiniest incident could land her on Weibo’s trending list for an entire day. And now? She had just stepped out of the hospital, plenty of fodder for those gossip-hungry entertainment reporters.

“I really didn’t mean to.” Fang Qingying tugged at his sleeve, her gaze burning into Shen Lixie with such intensity that she might as well have raised her hand to swear an oath of innocence.

Shen Lixie rubbed his temples in frustration. There was no way to sneak Fang Qingying out the back now, they’d have to go through the front.

“Let’s go?” Shen Lixie said, striding forward without waiting for a response.

Fang Qingying still didn’t quite grasp his meaning and scratched her head. “We’re going out now? Isn’t that a bad idea?”

Mainly because she had just pinned a stunningly beautiful woman against the door. If they went out now, wouldn’t she have to face the storm?

No, she absolutely did not want that!

“Not going out? Are you planning to hide in the hospital for the rest of your life?” Shen Lixie stopped in his tracks, his dark eyes boring into her as he countered.

“Of course not.” Fang Qingying shook her head vigorously. No one could hide in a hospital forever, that was impossible.

Seeing that Shen Lixie had made up his mind, Fang Qingying shrugged and followed him out.

Outside, reporters were pushing forward, trying to find Fang Qingying, while others were more interested in the relationship between the woman in the black dress and Fang Qingying.

If there was nothing between them, then why had Fang Qingying pinned her against the door?

“Is Actress Gu here at the hospital to visit Fang Qingying?”

“Actress Gu, who are you here to see?”

“Actress Gu, are you here for health reasons? Does this confirm the pregnancy rumors from before?”

“We’ve heard that the CEO of Yunxiao Tech, Mr. Yun, is your boyfriend. Are the two of you considering marriage?”

“…”

The reporters bombarded her with chaotic questions. The woman in the black dress was none other than Gu Shengxiao, the newly crowned double-award-winning actress of the entertainment industry.

She was also the female lead in the drama Fang Qingying was currently filming, the very person the original host had constantly sought to provoke.

“Excuse me, please make way.”

A woman in a tailored suit, flanked by bodyguards, made her way to Gu Shengxiao’s side. Facing the swarm of reporters, she frowned and said sternly, “I’m sorry, but we are under no obligation to answer these questions.”

“This is a hospital. Please keep your voices down to avoid disrupting normal operations. Step aside, Shengxiao still has filming to attend to.”

Gu Shengxiao’s manager was named Yu Lu, whose fame was on par with Shen Lixie’s.

She directed the bodyguards to escort Gu Shengxiao away, carving a path through the crowd of reporters.

The reporters clearly had no intention of letting Gu Shengxiao go. Everyone knew that the name “Gu Shengxiao” was synonymous with explosive headlines even the smallest incident involving her could bring them substantial gains.

If Fang Qingying was the walking queen of scandals, then Gu Shengxiao was the woman who owned countless luxury seaside properties on Weibo.

Her every move could set the entire entertainment industry ablaze.

But Gu Shengxiao was not an easy target. Every time the reporters rushed to ambush her for a scoop, she would inevitably appear somewhere else.

It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to corner Gu Shengxiao. Now that they had finally caught wind of her schedule, how could they possibly let her go so easily?

At the same time, Shen Lixie and Fang Qingying appeared one after the other. Watching the besieged Gu Shengxiao, Fang Qingying rubbed her chin and remarked, “Brother Xie, is this the effect of being a top celebrity?”

It was a sight that left her somewhat stunned.

Not only that, but even after a long time had passed, the scene was still packed not just with reporters but also with Gu Shengxiao’s fans, who had rushed over at the news.

They had completely surrounded the area, leaving no room to move, forcing Fang Qingyu to call out Fang Qingying’s name from beside the car.

Shen Lixie glanced up, then looked back at Fang Qingying and said, “Don’t worry, just shout ‘Fang Qingying is here,’ and you’ll get the same treatment.”

After all, she was the queen of scandals, of course, she’d have that kind of effect.

The only difference was that when news about Gu Shengxiao broke, the comments below were overwhelmingly positive. But when Fang Qingying’s news surfaced, a horde of haters would be lying in wait.

Fang Qingying fell silent for three seconds before hurriedly shaking her head. “No thanks, I can’t handle that.”

She was increasingly convinced that Shen Lixie was a devil.

Spouting such blunt truths—she was practically on the verge of tears.

“How about we make a run for it before they notice us?” Fang Qingying tugged at Shen Lixie’s sleeve and whispered.

“Oh? Too late for that.” Shen Lixie pointed at the reporters who had already spotted them.

“Run?” Fang Qingying blinked, glanced down at her casual outfit, and immediately bolted.

The sudden movement left Shen Lixie momentarily stunned. Fang Qingying was fast, but Shen Lixie got intercepted.

Fang Qingying sprinted to the spot where she had agreed to meet Gao Tian, but she couldn’t see Gao Tian’s car anywhere. She pulled out her phone to call Gao Tian when a clamor suddenly erupted behind her.

She turned around just in time to see a figure in a flowing black dress breeze past her.

Was that, her?

Before Fang Qingying could react, her wrist was seized, and the two of them tumbled into a white van.

Fang Qingying sat to the side, dazedly staring at the jade-like hand gripping her wrist. The nails were neatly rounded with a soft pink hue, slender and elegant, the hands of a pianist.

A warm breath brushed against her neck, making Fang Qingying shift uncomfortably, as if trying to put some distance between them.

But the back seat wasn’t spacious enough for retreat. With nowhere to go, she lifted her gaze to meet the other woman’s eyes.

Her skin, smooth as mutton-fat jade, was tinged with a faint flush. Her lips, glistening and red, parted slightly as she exhaled, her breath carrying a hint of orchid fragrance. “Phew, that was close. Almost got caught.”

They were sitting so close that Fang Qingying couldn’t help but want to move away.

Perhaps sensing Fang Qingying’s unease, Gu Shengxiao straightened up and averted her gaze.

“Sorry, it seems I’ve dragged you into this,” Gu Shengxiao said, her chest heaving unevenly as she struggled to catch her breath.

“N-no, it’s fine.” Fang Qingying kept her gaze fixed straight ahead, trying to ignore the faint fragrance lingering around her.

“Pulling you into the car was a last resort. What if I left and you got stopped again?” Gu Shengxiao tilted her head slightly, watching the blush creeping up Fang Qingying’s earlobes as she spoke considerately.

“D-do you know who I am?” Fang Qingying turned to look at her curiously, her eyes immediately drawn to the delicate collarbones and elegant swan-like neck before her.

Only then did Fang Qingying realize the other woman was nearly half a head taller. At 168 cm herself, Gu Shengxiao must be around 178 cm.

“I do.” Gu Shengxiao gave a slight nod. “Fang Qingying, right?”

The moment the words left her mouth, Fang Qingying instinctively asked, “Have you seen my scandals?”

“Not really.” Gu Shengxiao chuckled softly. “Do you have many scandals?”

Fang Qingying rested her chin on her hand, thinking carefully before answering. “Not that many. At my peak, I just stayed on the trending list for a whole month without dropping off.”

Like this time, it had been nearly a month and she still hadn’t left the hot searches.

“Pfft, you’re really quite humorous, Miss Fang.” Gu Shengxiao turned to look at her with a smile. “If it’s convenient, could we exchange WeChat contacts?”

As she spoke, she retrieved her phone from her bag. Fang Qingying glanced at it, it seemed to be the same model as hers.

Watching Gu Shengxiao deftly open the WeChat QR scanner, Fang Qingying fell silent for three seconds.

Imagine this: a stunningly beautiful, long-legged woman with a slender waist wants to add you as a friend, but you’ve only known each other for an hour. Would you accept?

To add or not to add Fang Qingying found the question particularly difficult, especially since this woman was exactly her type.

Receiving no immediate response, Gu Shengxiao lowered her eyes slightly, her long lashes casting a faint shadow as she spoke with a hint of disappointment. “Is it not okay?”

She began slowly putting her phone away, her movements deliberately sluggish. But Fang Qingying didn’t notice that.

Who in their right mind would make such a lovely woman sad?

Her body moved faster than her thoughts. By the time Fang Qingying snapped back to reality, she found herself gripping the other woman’s hand tightly, her excitement barely contained.

“If I said I didn’t mean to do that, would you believe me?” Fang Qingying stared blankly at Gu Shengxiao.

She had unconsciously grabbed the other’s hand, truly without thinking.

“I believe you. So, will you scan me now?” Gu Shengxiao nodded understandingly, a faint glint flickering in her eyes where Fang Qingying couldn’t see.

Fang Qingying quickly nodded, pulling out her phone to open her QR code and handing it over for Gu Shengxiao to scan.

“Then we’re friends now, right?” After scanning, Gu Shengxiao turned to her with a smile. “You don’t think I’m being too forward, do you?”

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she gave Fang Qingying a worried glance, as though genuinely concerned about displeasing her.

From the passenger seat, Yu Lu, who had been listening, couldn’t help but shiver. What an act, she thought. After watching her for so long, she still says things like this. Truly worthy of being an award-winning actress.

“N-no, not at all.” Fang Qingying shook her head vigorously. As she prepared to enter a contact name, she turned and asked, “What’s your name, by the way?”

“Gu Shengxiao.”

She blinked, slowly forming a question mark in her expression.
