After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 62

The two of them rarely saw each other usually, especially after she left early for her internship. They became like those in long-distance relationships, meeting only a handful of times a year.

Thinking about it carefully, she had never once considered asking Lin Zhiya that brat to change her hairstyle?

Had she really been that careless?

Or perhaps she hadn’t cared much about Lin Zhiya back then, letting her do whatever she wanted.

After all, their relationship had been an accident to begin with.

Later, they had separated for some reason, and with their different majors, plus her constantly following Fang Qingying around, their chances to meet had been too few.

After deep reflection, Gao Tian suddenly realized she seemed like some heartless playgirl who flirted but never committed. She had been dating her girlfriend for about two years, yet she couldn’t even recognize her.

Gao Tian: “…”

This wasn’t just being a jerk.

This was being a clueless, heartless jerk.

Lin Zhiya spoke cautiously, “I thought you recognized me when you handed me the mineral water.” Who would’ve thought this person not only couldn’t recognize her voice but also had no idea who she was? Wasn’t this just dating for nothing?

At this thought, Lin Zhiya puffed up her cheeks and angrily demanded, “So, do you want to break up now? Hiding it from you was my fault, but you never told me you were working as Miss Fang’s assistant either. And you couldn’t even recognize me!”

Hearing this, Gao Tian felt a chill run down her spine.

This was a question she couldn’t answer.

No matter how she responded, it was a trap. Frankly speaking, she currently lacked the IQ to navigate this.

Lin Zhiya blinked, her long lashes fluttering like little fans, her dark eyes reflecting Gao Tian’s conflicted expression.

After a long silence with no response from Gao Tian, Lin Zhiya felt as if her heart had been snatched away and thrown into an abyss, endlessly sinking without ever hitting bottom.

She took a deep breath, forcing back the urge to cry, and said, “Fine, then let’s break up.”

From the very beginning, Lin Zhiya had known that Gao Tian hadn’t confessed and started dating her out of genuine affection. After all, even she was aware of how terrible her outward appearance was.

But, when Gao Tian had stood before her and reached out her hand, Lin Zhiya had still, against all reason, fallen for her.

She had tried hard to close the distance between them, but due to various circumstances, even now, with Gao Tian standing right in front of her, she still felt impossibly far away.

After she finished speaking, Gao Tian seemed to remain lost in thought, and this finally extinguished the last flicker of hope in Lin Zhiya’s heart.

She silently took a step back, turned around, and left.

She had been the one to corner Gao Tian against the wall, so it was only right that she was the one to walk away.

She had already gotten her diploma, and they wouldn’t be seeing each other at school anymore. This was for the best.

By the time Gao Tian snapped out of her daze, Lin Zhiya was already gone. Puzzled, she scratched her head and sent her a message, only to find that she was no longer on her friends list.

Gao Tian: ???

Had she been blocked?

Why?

Her calls wouldn’t go through either. Panic surged in Gao Tian’s heart, what if that girl did something reckless?

She had only meant to tease her a little. She really hadn’t meant to blame Lin Zhiya. She had been at fault too couldn’t Lin Zhiya have waited for her to explain?

At this thought, Gao Tian stomped her foot in frustration and turned to run toward Lin Zhiya’s dorm.

“Cut, everyone take a break.” Director Liu shouted through his megaphone: “Makeup artists, touch up the leads’ makeup. The next scene will wrap up filming, so hang in there a little longer.”

Fang Qingying heard these words as soon as she stepped onto the set, pausing momentarily in her steps. She felt a small surge of relief. Luckily, she’d come to the set today otherwise, she would have missed the chance to visit.

Director Liu was the first to notice Fang Qingying. He waved her over and said, “Xiao Fang here for a visit?”

Fang Qingying quickly walked up to Director Liu and smoothly took a seat on a small stool, nodding. “Brought some snacks for everyone.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the production assistants began carrying in boxes of goodies, placing them in an open area and announcing that these were the treats Fang Qingying had brought for the crew.

Instantly, the entire set erupted in excitement.

“Thank you, Teacher Fang, for visiting!”

“Look, it’s bento boxes!”

“Such delicate desserts, and fruit tea too!”

“…”

The production staff laid everything out on a table, letting everyone help themselves. Fang Qingying had brought so much that even if each person took three items, there would still be plenty to go around.

“Hey, who do you think Teacher Fang came to visit?” one crew member asked, nudging another with her elbow while holding a luxurious bento box, her face alight with curiosity.

“Teacher Fang was also part of this production, wasn’t she? She just wrapped up earlier. Why can’t she come back to visit? Does she need a specific reason to drop by?”

Another crew member answered matter-of-factly.

“That’s not what I meant! Clearly, you don’t ship them.”

“I bet Teacher Fang came to visit Actress Gu. Ah~ just thinking about it is sweet.”

“You’re that sure?”

“Absolutely.”

Taking a bite of her bento, she pointed toward the figure now making her way toward Gu Shengxiao.

“See? She’s heading over there now.”

“Huh, you’re right.”

Their eyes met, and after a silent three seconds, she pulled out her phone and asked, “So how do you ship them?”

“Let me show you.”

The two happily munched on their bento and desserts while diving into the world of shipping.

After being grilled by Director Liu with a few questions, Fang Qingying finally found an opportunity to slip away.

From the director’s tone, it was clear he was surprised she had landed a role in The Legend of Su Yue, which left her feeling a bit exasperated.

Director Liu had said, “I thought you were just there for show didn’t expect you’d actually get the part. Not bad!”

His expression and tone had been so reminiscent of a proud father finally seeing his “child” make progress after years of worry that Fang Qingying could only shrug and quickly excuse herself. If she stayed any longer, she might not get a chance to see Gu Shengxiao at all today.

Spotting Gu Shengxiao seated not far away, getting her makeup touched up, Fang Qingying cheerfully hurried over, making it obvious to everyone that she was here specifically to visit her.

Gu Shengxiao had her eyes closed during the touch-up, so when she opened them, Fang Qingying was the first thing she saw.

A faint smile curved her lips as she reached out toward Fang Qingying, as if asking for a hug like a spoiled child.

But Fang Qingying didn’t embrace her. Instead, she pulled up a small stool and sat down beside her, grinning. “Surprise! I came to visit.”

She remembered what Gu Shengxiao had told her before to be cautious about public displays to avoid stirring up unnecessary rumors.

So despite the urge to pull her into a hug, Fang Qingying settled for sitting close by.

The makeup artist touching up Gu Shengxiao’s makeup tactfully left upon seeing the situation, leaving only Gu Shengxiao and Fang Qingying alone in the small dressing room.

Thanks to her visit, Director Liu decided to give them a bit more break time.

“Xiao Xiao, did you miss me?” Fang Qingying propped her chin on her hand, grinning as she looked at Gu Shengxiao.

Gu Shengxiao kept a cold expression, silently averting her gaze, exuding the vibe of a proud cat refusing to acknowledge someone.

“Are you angry?” Fang Qingying stood up from the small stool and walked over to Gu Shengxiao. “Is it because I didn’t hug you earlier?”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, it was just that Gu Shengxiao’s fame was too overwhelming.

Gu Shengxiao snorted, “Hmph.” You better know it.

“Then can I hug you now?” Fang Qingying cheerfully stretched out her arms and pulled Gu Shengxiao into a tight embrace. “Still angry?”

“I also want, a kiss.” Gu Shengxiao wrapped her arms around the other’s waist, her voice low. “Otherwise, I’ll still be angry.”

She said the last part with absolute conviction.

Fang Qingying let go and kissed Gu Shengxiao’s lips, laughing. “I think you’re not a twenty-year-old girl but Gu-Three-Year-Old.” So adorably childish.

Gu Shengxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, licked her lips, and paused for a few seconds. “I want more.”

She craved even more.

The person buried deep in her heart since childhood had finally become hers, making her endlessly greedy.

It would be best if her eyes held only her, if she indulged only her.

“I’m a little curious, why does Xiao Xiao like me so much?” Fang Qingying released her and sat back on the small stool, interlacing their fingers as she asked.

She liked Gu Shengxiao because the other was her type.

But why Gu Shengxiao liked her that was something she couldn’t understand.

Hearing this, Gu Shengxiao spoke leisurely, “Do you remember things from when we were kids?”

Fang Qingying shook her head.

She didn’t remember.

The original owner hadn’t left her any childhood memories either.

But Fang Qingying felt a pang of unease. She half-jokingly asked, “You’re not with me just because you liked me as a kid, are you?”

Wouldn’t that mean, the person Gu Shengxiao liked was the original owner, not her, Fang Qingying?

Ah, she felt inexplicably angry. What should she do?

Gu Shengxiao shook her head. “I like the you now.”

And the you from back then.

Not the one who was clearly full of dissonance timid and weak yet hiding behind a brash, troublemaking facade, the ‘Fang Qingying’ of before.

“Really?” Fang Qingying blinked, seeming a bit skeptical of Gu Shengxiao’s words.

She’d just brought up their childhood, and now she was saying she liked the ‘current’ her?

A woman’s words are a devil’s deceit.

She wouldn’t be fooled by sweet talk!

“Really.” Gu Shengxiao nodded. “Xiao Ying is lively and adorable, you made my heart skip a beat at first sight.”

The moment she saw her in the hospital, she recognized who she was.

“Hmph.” Fang Qingying rubbed her nose sheepishly.

Instantly defeated by Gu Shengxiao’s ‘sweet talk.’

“How did we meet when we were kids?” Fang Qingying asked curiously.

She wanted to know what Gu Shengxiao’s childhood had been like.

“You climbed over the wall to my house to play with me,” Gu Shengxiao said simply.

Back then, Fang Qingying climbed over the wall every day, giving the servants of both households quite a scare. They were constantly worried she might slip and fall from the top of the wall.

To address this, they quietly added various items near the wall to make it easier for Fang Qingying to climb down.

If Gu Shengxiao was a quiet and well-behaved little girl in her childhood, then Fang Qingying was a mischievous tomboy.

Had Fang Qingying not entered Gu Shengxiao’s life, her childhood might have been filled with nothing but dull and monotonous studies.

If not for that kidnapping incident, Gu Shengxiao’s parents wouldn’t have taken her away.

Fang Qingying wouldn’t have moved either.

By the time Gu Shengxiao could occasionally return, Fang Qingying had completely changed.

The way she looked at Gu Shengxiao was as if she were a stranger, filled with malice that sent chills down her spine.
