After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 70

“Are you sure?” Gao Tian held her hand as they walked out, seemingly intending to take her somewhere.

Lin Zhiya watched her retreating figure, bit her lip, and took the initiative to follow.

“I’m not a liar.”

On the highway, the fiery red car body stood out prominently on the road.

Gu Shengxiao drove while the car’s navigation system guided the way.

“I reserved a particularly delicious restaurant,” Fang Qingying said from the passenger seat, leaning against the window to watch the scenery outside.

The restaurant was quite far away, but fortunately, Gu Shengxiao had driven herself.

“Does it feel like we’re heading deeper into the mountains?” Gu Shengxiao glanced at the surrounding scenery as they drove along the highway. After a certain point, the road changed, resembling a path leading into deep, remote forests.

Could there really be a restaurant in such a place?

“It’s a farm stay!” Fang Qingying turned to look at Gu Shengxiao, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “I’ve heard about farm stays before, but I’ve never been to one myself.”

“Don’t you still have scenes to film?” Gu Shengxiao asked.

Fang Qingying waved her hand dismissively and said confidently, “I took time off! And I took three days off.”

As she spoke, she held up three fingers beside Gu Shengxiao.

“My scenes are already few, and the new script hasn’t been released yet. I’d rather take some time off and come out with you than just hang around the set.”

“Okay.”

“This farm stay was recommended by Brother Xie. It seems someone from the Gu family in Yanjing invested in it. But Yanjing is so far from H City, why would the Gu family from Yanjing set up a farm stay here?” Fang Qingying hugged a pillow, looking puzzled as she asked Gu Shengxiao.

“Hey, your surname is Gu, and the Yanjing Gu family is also Gu. Could it be a coincidence? Are your Gu and their Gu the same?”

She suddenly felt it was a bit coincidental, but there were so many people with the same surname, it couldn’t be that every Gu she encountered was from the same family, right?

“Is the farm stay fun?” Gu Shengxiao subtly changed the subject, her gaze fixed on the navigation screen. They were only two or three kilometers away from their destination.

Almost there.

Fang Qingying tilted her head and thought for a moment.

Counting on her fingers, she said, “You can pick vegetables from the organic garden, visit the strawberry patch, and other fruit orchards. You can also go fishing and have a barbecue? What’s especially noteworthy is that this farm stay has hot springs!”

That was all she knew for now, and even that was what Shen Lixie had told her.

The accommodation was already booked. Shen Lixie had reserved a two-story townhouse for them with two bedrooms.

According to Shen Lixie, they had to sleep separately, what was the point of being all lovey-dovey all the time?

Fang Qingying thought this might be the frustration of a single person.

He didn’t have a girlfriend, so how could he stop her from being with hers?

“Is that the gate up ahead?” Gu Shengxiao slowed down, looking at the entrance supported by two large pillars.

Fang Qingying checked her phone, compared the two, and nodded. “Yes, that’s the gate. We’re here.”

Though it was an unassuming farm stay, everything was well-organized and orderly, with no signs of chaos.

Someone guided them to park their car in a designated parking spot.

Fang Qingying followed Gu Shengxiao out of the car, and they were greeted by a lively and adorable young girl.

The girl wore her hair in a braid, a bright red hair ribbon fluttering with her movements like an everlasting sun.

She wore a small floral dress and open-toed sandals, skipping ahead to lead the way for the two of them.

Shen Lixie had recommended this farmstay not only because it was safe and reliable but also because it offered excellent privacy.

It was a favorite spot for many famous actors and singers to unwind, and even wealthy individuals with time to spare enjoyed coming here to reconnect with a simpler way of life.

Walking along the path, they passed several intersections. The young girl explained that branching off from these intersections led to various entertainment venues.

The farmstay had a main path that led directly to the guesthouses, which included two-story cottages, three-story villas, and several beautifully designed duplex houses.

Shen Lixie had chosen a particularly charming duplex for them, and when the young girl brought them to it, they were stunned.

The duplex came with its own small garden, and the sight of flowers in full bloom was unparalleled anywhere else.

There were two rooms, positioned opposite each other.

From the windowsills, wisteria vines cascaded naturally, making the entire duplex look like a grand greenhouse from the outside.

Their accommodation was also very close to the hot springs, so they could easily take a dip after a day out to relieve their fatigue.

“Miss Fang and Miss Gu, could I please have your ID cards for registration?” The young girl pulled out a tablet from her backpack to record guest information, along with an ID card scanner.

Fang Qingying and Gu Shengxiao handed over their ID cards, watching the girl mutter to herself as she worked, which they found amusing.

It was rare to see someone so young being so mature and capable.

“You’ll be staying for three days and two nights. Check-out time is between noon and 2 p.m. on the third day. If you miss this window, you’ll need to pay for an extra day. Check-out is also during the same time frame.”

“Miss Fang and Miss Gu, here are two key cards. They serve as both door keys and room keys. If you encounter any issues after checking in, feel free to call me.”

As she spoke, the girl struggled to pull two business cards from her backpack and handed them over.

“My surname is Hua. The aunts and uncles in the village call me Huahua. If anything comes up, please remember to call me.”

Huahua looked at them with a determined expression. “The payment for the three-day, two-night stay has already been settled, so there’s no need for you to pay.”

“Here are your ID cards. Please keep them safe.” Huahua packed her things back into her backpack and returned their IDs.

“Alright, thank you,” Gu Shengxiao said, taking the two ID cards and handing one to Fang Qingying.

“By the way, Miss Fang and Miss Gu, please don’t go to the back mountain. It’s private property. Aside from that, you’re free to visit any of the places marked on the farmstay map.”

“I hope you enjoy your stay. Thank you.”

With that, Huahua skipped cheerfully back outside.

“Shall we go in now?” Gu Shengxiao turned to look at the locked door, waving the key card in her hand.

Fang Qingying grabbed her hand and said with a sly smile, “Dear Film Empress Gu, have you forgotten that we didn’t prepare something?”

This trip had been decided on a whim, so they had packed very lightly.

“Should we go buy some clothes first?” Gu Shengxiao glanced at what they were wearing and agreed that they needed to purchase a change of clothes.

“I know there’s a particularly nice shop here that specializes in couple outfits?” Fang Qingying pulled Gu Shengxiao outside, as if the farm stay experience wasn’t the main point, the couple outfits were.

“Want to wear matching outfits?” Gu Shengxiao raised an eyebrow, looking at her curiously.

They could wear couple outfits whenever they wanted, why did they have to come all the way to a farm stay to buy them?

It wasn’t that she disagreed with wearing matching outfits; on the contrary, she really liked the idea.

“Hehe, I don’t want to go public just yet. I want to wait until our ‘status’ is about the same before revealing our relationship, so no one can say we’re not a good match.”

Fang Qingying nodded. “So, coming here to buy couple outfits and wear them now is actually pretty good.”

After all, even if they wore them, no one would spread the news.

“If my ‘status’ makes you feel it’s not enough, I can leave the entertainment industry.” Gu Shengxiao held her hand, speaking with utmost seriousness.

Compared to the flashy world of showbiz, she needed Fang Qingying more.

Besides, her reason for entering the entertainment industry in the first place was Fang Qingying. Now that she had her, leaving the industry or not didn’t matter.

“Don’t do that!” Fang Qingying shook her head, placing her hands on Gu Shengxiao’s shoulders and speaking earnestly, “If you leave the industry, how heartbroken would your fans be?”

Their idol was already pretty low-key about her career if she suddenly retired, it would probably buy several ocean-view mansions on Weibo’s hot search list.

“I don’t care about others, but would you be sad?” Gu Shengxiao asked her.

Gu Shengxiao still remembered how Fang Qingying had chosen merchandise over her.

“Well!” Fang Qingying pretended to think it over. “I think it’s better if you don’t leave the industry. After all, I still want to act alongside you.”

Fang Qingying herself could never forget the embarrassment of being caught by her idol, it was so awkward it was unforgettable.

She had almost finished going through all the merchandise; it was about time to exchange for more resources with 888.

It had to be said, Gu Shengxiao in person and her merchandise were two completely different entities.

It was like before meeting her in person, just looking at the merchandise would make you imagine an aloof goddess admirable from afar but not to be trifled with.

But when you actually got to know Gu Shengxiao, Fang Qingying felt she was probably an aloof little kitten who loved to act spoiled.

Not only was her meowing adorable, but she also loved to playfully scratch with her paws.

“Soon,” Gu Shengxiao said quietly.

She hadn’t told Yu Lu that she and Fang Qingying had come to the farm stay. It might be better to mention it later.

After all, Yu Lu was probably angry right now.

Angry that she had gone to work for someone else for free without consulting her first.

Though it wasn’t ideal, Gu Shengxiao thought Lin Zhiya would have to bear the brunt of Yu Lu’s anger for now, she would make it up to her later.

Whenever Yu Lu got angry, as long as Lin Zhiya was placed in front of her, Yu Lu would instantly deflate, like encountering a fire extinguisher.

No one in the company knew why this was.

Gu Shengxiao herself couldn’t be bothered to look into it as long as it kept Yu Lu in check, it was fine.

Meanwhile, sitting in her office, sneezing while fuming, Yu Lu cast a fierce smile at her colleagues, who were all trying to hide like ostriches.

“Does anyone know about Shengxiao visiting the set?”

A chorus of frantic head-shaking ensued.

“We don’t know!”

“Shengxiao didn’t tell us!”

“Yeah? Only Yaya knows.”

“…”

Yu Lu: “…”

Watching the group so righteously push Lin Zhiya forward, a vein throbbed angrily on her forehead.

“Do you even know that Shengxiao took on the role in ‘Su Yue’s Story’ by herself?”

And what’s more, she did it for free?

Not a single penny in payment.

A reigning film queen, no less! It infuriated her!

She could have at least accepted a symbolic fee!

Seeing Yu Lu’s anger escalating, they promptly shook their heads.

“Hey, where’s Yaya?”

“Is Yaya not back yet?”

“Yaya, save us!”

“…”

The group murmured quietly among themselves.

“What’s the use of you all? You don’t know anything.”
