After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 84

“What punishment do you want?” Palace Mistress Hua cast a coquettish glance at Lin Xuehuan, her jade-like fingers gripping the collar of Lin’s robe as if ready to slip inside any second.

Lin Xuehuan lowered her gaze with a soft laugh, leaning in slowly toward Palace Mistress Hua’s ear, her breath carrying a delicate fragrance as she whispered, “How about” making me unable to get out of bed?

Though Lin Xuehuan left the latter part unspoken, her captivating eyes conveyed the message clearly enough.

Palace Mistress Hua’s breath hitched, a flicker of shyness passing through her tear-filled eyes. Biting her lip as if in a pout, she retorted, “Wishful thinking! The punishment is copying the Hua Lan Palace rules, all three thousand five hundred of them!”

“Then, could Palace Mistress do me a favor?”

“What favor?”

“Help me copy them together?”

“…Get lost.”

Lin Xuehuan grinned playfully, pulling Fang Qingying down onto the soft couch, creating an illusion reminiscent of a seductive concubine distracting the emperor from his morning duties.

“Cut!”

Director Xu clapped the board and called out, “That’s a wrap, everyone. Head back and rest well. Tomorrow’s scenes will be simpler.”

“Got it.”

“Thanks for your hard work, Director Xu!”

“You’ve worked hard, Teacher Fang!”

“…”

The crew moved in an orderly fashion, packing up the set and greeting them as they passed by.

Fang Qingying straightened up, maintaining a composed expression as she walked toward Gao Tian, though her crimson-tipped ears betrayed her calm facade.

Gao Tian handed Fang Qingying a water bottle, signaling her to drink, then had the makeup artist help her remove her makeup before heading back to the hotel to rest.

As for Gu Shengxiao, who had been trailing half a step behind Fang Qingying, Gao Tian glanced at Lin Zhiya beside Gu and decided not to mention Gu’s presence to Fang Qingying.

Lost in her embarrassment, Fang Qingying remained unaware of Gu Shengxiao following her. She grabbed her clothes and turned into the dressing room, with Gu Shengxiao slipping in right behind her.

Gao Tian and Lin Zhiya exchanged a look, both choosing to ignore what they had just witnessed.

Lin Zhiya spoke first, “Gao Tian, I’ll go pack up Sister Gu’s things. See you later.”

Before Gao Tian could utter the words she wanted to say to stop Lin Zhiya, she watched helplessly as the latter walked away without looking back.

She sighed. Even if the boss is in love, the employees still have to work.

Inside the dressing room, Fang Qingying found herself cornered against the wall by Gu Shengxiao.

She tilted her head up slightly to look at Gu Shengxiao and asked, “When did you follow me in?”

Gu Shengxiao lowered her head, a smile in her eyes. Her fair fingers twirled a strand of dark hair as she leaned close to Fang Qingying’s ear and whispered, “Just now.”

“Then shouldn’t you leave now?” Fang Qingying narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

“Xiao Ying, have you ever seen prey escape once it’s within reach?” Gu Shengxiao ignored her words, taking a step closer instead.

Her movement made the already cramped space feel even smaller. A faint floral scent, unique to Gu Shengxiao, drifted past Fang Qingying’s nose. Their thighs pressed together, making them look almost like conjoined twins.

Fang Qingying shifted uncomfortably, but the motion only brought her closer to Gu Shengxiao instead of freeing her.

Half-changed, her exposed skin touched the cold wall, sending a shiver through her.

She curled in on herself slightly and muttered under her breath, “This is too much. At least let me finish changing.”

Gu Shengxiao raised a hand, her fingertip gently tracing Fang Qingying’s neck as if caressing a rare treasure cherished for years.

“Last time, Xiao Ying took advantage of me. Are you trying to escape again this time?” Gu Shengxiao deliberately lowered her voice, her lips parting slightly. As she spoke, she nibbled on Fang Qingying’s earlobe.

A damp sensation, accompanied by a jolt of electricity, shot from the soles of her feet straight to her head. In an instant, Fang Qingying felt her ability to think vanish.

The hand resting on her waist, slender and elegant like a pianist’s, possessed surprising strength, holding her steadily in place.

She felt like a small blade of grass adrift, clinging tightly to the first solid support it found. The warm sensation moved from her ear, gradually trailing down her body.

Her clothes slipped off without her even noticing.

And then…

Fang Qingying was suddenly pulled into a short-sleeved shirt. She blinked, staring at Gu Shengxiao with an incredulous expression.

This isn’t human!

How could she stop halfway through something like this?

The realization nearly made Fang Qingying spit blood.

Especially when she was already aroused, for the other to withdraw so decisively, it was enough to give anyone internal injuries even if they hadn’t had any before.

She shifted, feeling the dampness between her legs, and her eyes reddened. She was unbearably uncomfortable and utterly furious.

Staring at Gu Shengxiao’s calm expression, Fang Qingying gritted her teeth and asked, “So, does love just disappear?”

“No, I’ll only ever love you.” Gu Shengxiao’s eyes curved into smiles as she reached out to ruffle Fang Qingying’s hair, telling her not to overthink it.

“Are you sure you’re not torturing me?” Fang Qingying demanded through clenched teeth. She wasn’t in the mood for any teasing right now!

“I thought about it carefully, and the location isn’t ideal.” Gu Shengxiao spoke thoughtfully, nodding in agreement with herself.

“Hah? The location isn’t ideal, is that it?” Fang Qingying exploded, tugging at her short-sleeved shirt and pulling on her pants in the cramped space. Without another word, she pushed Gu Shengxiao aside, turned the handle, and strode out of the dressing room.

The makeup artist and Gao Tian were both there.

Gao Tian pointed subtly at the corner of her own eye, as if hinting at something to Fang Qingying.

Subconsciously, Fang Qingying reached up to touch her face and found tears on her fingertips. She blushed, realizing they must have been from her earlier frustration.

The makeup artist gathered her makeup removal supplies and handed Fang Qingying a cotton pad, her gaze lingering on the tears at the corners of Fang Qingying’s eyes.

She said, “It’s probably just a reaction to wearing makeup for too long. It’s normal.”

Then, she saw Gu Shengxiao emerge from the same dressing room Fang Qingying had just left.

Makeup artist: “…”

Oh my god? What kind of stupid thing did I just say?

The makeup artist glanced at Gu Shengxiao, then quickly lowered her head to fiddle with the cotton pads, not daring to look up again.

She had thought Fang Qingying was upset from wearing makeup too long, but it turned out to be.

Eek!

The Xiao Ying CP is real.

The makeup artist maintained a neutral expression as she finished removing Fang Qingying’s makeup, then picked up her kit and walked out.

Gao Tian watched the makeup artist’s retreating back and inexplicably felt a sense of, urgency? Why was that? Could it be that some monster was staring after her?

At that thought, a chill ran down Gao Tian’s spine. She slowly turned around and met Gu Shengxiao’s gaze.

Gao Tian is in danger!

She forced a bitter smile, turned back around, grabbed her things, and hurried out as if a monster were chasing her too.

And wasn’t that exactly the case?

Gu Shengxiao was a presence comparable to a flood or a fierce beast.

Fang Qingying focused on washing her face. Wiping the water droplets, she called out for Gao Tian, “Tian Tian, bring me the facial cleanser. I forgot to grab it.”

As she spoke, she reached a hand out from inside, seemingly waiting for Gao Tian to hand her the cleanser. Sure enough, the cleanser found its way into her hand, but along with it came another person.

Fang Qingying saw the second person reflected in the mirror and sighed helplessly, calling her name, “Xiao Xiao?”

“Let me help you wash your face, how about that?”

In the mirror, Gu Shengxiao waved the facial cleanser triumphantly.

“No need.” Fang Qingying sternly rejected her offer.

Unfortunately, even so, Fang Qingying couldn’t escape Gu Shengxiao’s ‘assistance.’

By the time her face was washed, Fang Qingying looked down at the large wet patch on her collar and felt a vein throbbing on her forehead.

“I really thank you for this.” Fang Qingying used a tissue to dab at the water stain on her collar, but it was clearly impossible to get it completely dry.

Gu Shengxiao smiled, handing Fang Qingying makeup remover and cotton pads, saying, “I want Xiao Ying to help me remove my makeup!”

Fang Qingying’s eyelashes lowered slightly, her gaze resting quietly on the remover and cotton pads in Gu Shengxiao’s hands. “Are you sure?”

She would definitely ‘retaliate’!

“Sure.” Gu Shengxiao pushed the items closer, bending slightly to accommodate Fang Qingying, adopting a posture of complete surrender.

Fang Qingying took the makeup remover and cotton pads, pouring out a generous amount, and advanced toward Gu Shengxiao’s face with fierce determination. But the moment the cotton pad touched Gu Shengxiao’s cheek, Fang Qingying unconsciously softened her touch.

“You really know how to boss me around,” she muttered under her breath. “Don’t think I won’t make it hurt?”

Gu Shengxiao’s skin was tender, like that of a newborn baby, enviably so.

Even with Fang Qingying’s gentle strokes, after repeated wiping, her skin still showed a slight redness.

The two of them wasted a lot of time inside.

Gao Tian sat in the van, bored and dozing off, while silently wondering when Fang Qingying would finally show up.

Her head nodded intermittently, her eyes half-closed, with no sign of alertness.

Suddenly, Gao Tian’s head hit the steering wheel. The pain in her forehead jolted her awake, and she rubbed her forehead while searching the van for bruise relief medicine.

“Ouch! That really hurts.” She rubbed her forehead, inhaling sharply.

With sleepiness completely gone, Gao Tian picked up her phone to scroll through it.

As soon as she unlocked it, she noticed someone had messaged her. Opening the message, her eyes instantly brightened.

WeChat.

Lin Zhiya: Parking lot number three, come over.

Gao Tian: I’m coming!

Seeing this message, Gao Tian happily tidied herself up, pulled out the car keys, and headed toward Lin Zhiya.

Gao Tian knocked on the car window to signal her arrival.

But Lin Zhiya didn’t open the door immediately. Instead, unpleasant sounds came from inside.

“My business is none of your concern. Just worry about yourself.”

“You are you, Sister Yu Lu is Sister Yu Lu. They’re not the same.”

“Hospital check-up? I’m not sick. I told you I didn’t lose my memory. Stop treating me like an idiot.”

“How should I know why I went to No. 3 Garden Street Road?”

“Bye.”

Standing outside the van, Gao Tian suddenly felt cold. She rubbed her hands together. So that’s how it is?

No wonder Lin Zhiya didn’t recognize her. Was this the reason?

Just as Gao Tian was about to leave, her phone chimed with a message alert. Before she could check it, the door in front of her opened.

As the door swung open, Gao Tian saw Lin Zhiya, who still seemed irritated, wearing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
