After Kissing the World-Weary Female Supporting Character [Transmigration] - Chapter 45

The filming cycle for a television series isn’t long, typically three to five months, sometimes extending to over half a year for high-quality productions, but this initial testing series was clearly not one of those.

Not long after Mu Yu’s scenes wrapped up, the filming speed for the palace scenes noticeably accelerated. The indoor filming quickly concluded, and many characters finished their parts. The remaining main cast had to stay to film the outdoor scenes.

Song Xingzi lay sprawled on her suitcase, gazing at the distant morning view of neon lights and bustling crowds, her shoulders hunched, posing like a great hero burdened by the world’s sorrows.

Ji Ruyue, who had also packed and was ready to return to the Imperial Capital to deal with the Li Corporation, came out of the room and saw Song Xingzi slumped over her suitcase, clearly unhappy. Her whole body screamed: “I’m unhappy, come coax me, right now, don’t hesitate, hesitation leads to defeat.”

What’s wrong with her now? Who upset her?

Ji Ruyue raised an eyebrow, walked slowly to her side, lowered her head, and spoke softly, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you going down? The crew should be waiting downstairs.”

“Hmph!” Song Xingzi turned her head, refusing to acknowledge Ji Ruyue.

Heh, playing hard to get now? This is the first time.

Ji Ruyue suppressed a laugh, moved to face Song Xingzi directly, and spoke seriously, as if discussing a national matter, “Are you angry? Why? Don’t you hate the silent treatment the most? Why are you sulking at me?”

Song Xingzi finally looked up, her eyes red, saying, “A heartless, cruel, soulless woman is not my Ji Ji! I refuse to talk to you!”

This woman took my pine nut candy and delicious food, but she didn’t take me! She booked a flight ticket without even discussing it with me, only notifying me when she was about to leave! Is this something a person does? Is this how a normal young couple behaves?

No!!!

What kind of person can be as heartless, cruel, cold-blooded, and merciless as her?

“Hmm?” Ji Ruyue sat on the round stool, nodding slowly. “You’re right. I am heartless, cruel, and soulless.”

“Waaah—” Song Xingzi clenched her small fists and pounded the suitcase to vent her anger. “I understand!”

“Understand what?” Ji Ruyue glanced at her watch. It was only six thirty. There was still plenty of time before the plane took off. No rush; the priority was to appease Song Xingzi.

“Hmph!” Song Xingzi stood up, her face puffed up like a pufferfish. “My relationship with you is like a fish and water!”

Ji Ruyue tilted her head and looked at her, the index finger of her other hand gently tapping her thigh. “How so?”

Song Xingzi paced back and forth angrily, like a poor person who had been robbed and couldn’t do anything about it. “Does that even need to be said? I’m the fish, and you’re the water. I can’t leave you for a second, but you’ll be more peaceful without me! You can’t wait to fly back to the Imperial Capital and never come back for me, your baggage! Boo hoo hoo…”

Where did this little guy get so many weird metaphors?

Ji Ruyue suppressed her smile, got up, and ruffled Song Xingzi’s hair. “Talk is talk, why are you crying again?”

“Waaah—” Song Xingzi cried even louder. “I knew it! You’ll be more peaceful without me! You took my pine nut candy but didn’t take me! And you didn’t even consult me beforehand!”

“Who said that? I’m going this morning, and I’ll fly back tomorrow night. You only have a few scenes left to re-shoot. If things go smoothly, they should be done tomorrow night or the day after, and then we can go back together.”

Song Xingzi looked at Ji Ruyue suspiciously, her autumnal eyes washed clean by tears, making them even brighter.

Ji Ruyue felt a pang of heartache and added a guarantee, “I can’t sleep without you. Where would I find peace?”

Hearing this, Song Xingzi’s tears, which had just stopped, surged out again.

Ji Ji, how dare you mention this?! Damn it, I thought that was a confession, but she genuinely uses me as a sleeping pill, simply sleeping soundly next to me!!!

Half a month has passed since that night, and nothing has happened. I, Little Song Zi, only got one kiss, and it was a ridiculously frugal cheek kiss!!!

Is this something a person does? Is this something a person is capable of doing?

The more Song Xingzi thought about it, the angrier she got. Tears streamed down her face as if they were free.

Ji Ruyue waited for her to calm down, utterly confused. She genuinely had no idea what to do. Unlike Song Xingzi, who had a hundred ways to make her angry, Song Xingzi seemed to have a thousand ways to be coaxed.

Song Xingzi, not getting any comfort, stopped and turned to stare at Ji Ruyue suspiciously. “You, you, you aren’t going outside to find another dog! Bah, another little celebrity, are you?”

Ji Ruyue: “…”

I really want to crawl into Song Xingzi’s brain and see where all this water came from. She’s completely gone crazy.

Ji Ruyue spoke gently, like one would to a three-month-old, ignorant infant. “What are you thinking? I’m with you all day. Where would I find another little celebrity?”

Song Xingzi retorted righteously, “Then why didn’t you coax me!”

Ji Ruyue: “…”

Unreasonable. Do you look like someone who can be coaxed?

“Then how do you want me to coax you?”

“Hmph hmph, I’m not that hard to coax,” Song Xingzi wriggled coyly, a blush slowly creeping up her fair, delicate cheeks. “J-Just kiss me once! Kiss, kiss the right side! Last time was the left side!”

Having said that, Song Xingzi shyly turned her back, refusing to look at Ji Ruyue’s reaction.

One on the left and one on the right, perfectly symmetrical? What’s with this overwhelming idiocy?

Ji Ruyue pressed her temples, which were throbbing, worried that the female lead was secretly a three-and-a-half-year-old idiot who had just started kindergarten.

Waiting and waiting, no action. Song Xingzi turned her head, blushing, and said crossly, “Hey, forget it if you don’t want to kiss me! I don’t care!”

“Don’t move,” Ji Ruyue’s voice had a natural huskiness, exploding in Song Xingzi’s ears like thunder. Immediately afterward, her cool hand pressed against Song Xingzi’s left cheek. Following the cool and soft, wonderful touch, it left.

The second cheek kiss was completed.

“I’m leaving now! Be good on set.”

Ji Ruyue got up, oblivious, pulled her suitcase, and strode out of the room.

“Mhm, mhm, okay, okay, goodbye, Ji Ji!”

A dizzy Song Xingzi collapsed onto the sofa, waving at the doorway.

Aahhhhhhh—The second kiss!!! It’s my second kiss with Ji Ji!!! I’m okay again! I’m cured! I can eat three bowls of rice in one go!

“Hehe, so good. Married life couldn’t be better!”

Song Xingzi lay on the sofa chuckling, slowly bringing her small hand to her cheek. The moment she touched it, she snatched it back quickly, like the sensitive reaction of a mimosa plant.

After repeating this several times, Song Xingzi could finally cup her face, heart racing, recalling the nonexistent details.

“Teacher Song, I’m here to pick you up.”

Someone arrived. Song Xingzi sprang up from the sofa like a startled rabbit. She guiltily put her hands behind her back and slowly moved beside the suitcase. “Ahem, Little Yu’er, come in quickly. I’ve packed all my luggage.”

Li Yu pushed the door open and saw her artist looking silly, hands behind her back, giggling like a simple-minded young lady from a wealthy family.

Did something good happen?

Li Yu smiled benignly, thinking of Little Boss Ji, whose lipstick was smudged, whom she had just met. She led Song Xingzi downstairs with a cheerful expression, like an old father marrying off his son to a stepmother.

This kind of pink bubble, from the person involved to the CP fan club leader, continued until the two were in the nanny van, following the crew’s massive convoy out to the suburbs: someone was asking about Song Xingzi’s junk again.

The phone dinged with a notification, waking the useless little squirrel from her absorption in the second cheek kiss of her demon life. She pulled out her phone from her bag, looked at the prompt from a certain second-hand platform, enthusiastically clicked on it, and then retreated with the expression of an old man looking at a phone on the subway.

“Is it real?”

“Why is it so cheap?”

“It’s not a knock-off, is it?”

A string of three questions, every word revealing sharp suspicion.

Song Xingzi was utterly baffled, not understanding why the humans on the second-hand platform were getting worse. She could tolerate the one from yesterday, but why did this one start hinting at things without saying anything?

The pink bubble above Song Xingzi’s head burst. She thought for a moment and replied truthfully, “This was given to me, only used once or twice. It was free, actually.”

From a Starlight collaboration brand, so yes, it was free.

“I checked the market price; it’s 22,000. It’s second-hand, so selling it for 18,000 isn’t very cheap.”

The other party replied with an I-see emoji. “Oh, so it was given to you~ Smug-smile.jpg”

“Can it be cheaper? You got it for free anyway.”

“??? Little friend, do you have a little question mark?”

Song Xingzi knelt to the other party’s thought process, replying with the currently popular meme.

Does the fact that I got it for free have anything to do with how much I sell it to you for? Why the suggestive tone?

“No? You people…”

Song Xingzi: “I apologize, but even when doing a good deed, I don’t sell to an idiot.”

She immediately blacklisted the idiotic buyer. Still feeling frustrated, Song Xingzi simply raised the price by another fold, changing it from a bargain 18,000 to a rip-off 36,000.

Where there are many trees, there are dead branches; where there are many people, there are idiots. I will not be angry!

Song Xingzi forced a smile, then touched her cheek and fell back into her pink bubble.

Although her imagination was fragrant enough, the essence of a human is a small, never-satisfied demon.

Li Yu saw that Song Xingzi was clearly furious, but the moment she touched her cheek, it was as if she’d been enchanted and instantly calmed down. The guesses in Li Yu’s mind were scratching at her heart, and she finally couldn’t resist digging for more details.

“Teacher Song, why are you so happy?” Li Yu smiled benignly at Song Xingzi. “When I came to get you, I saw Little Boss Ji.”

“Hmm?” Song Xingzi’s radar buzzed, and she asked alertly, “What about Ji Ji?”

Li Yu leaned in, elongating her tone, and whispered, “Her lipstick was smudged!”

You guys definitely did this and that…

Song Xingzi’s face immediately flushed bright red. She didn’t intentionally turn on her mind-reading, but when it concerned Ji Ji, she couldn’t help it. However, Li Yu’s explosive, dirty-minded speculation made her mind wander.

Waaah, how can you think of me and Ji Ji like that? I, we weren’t that excessive! And, and a three-minute French kiss? Hmph, absolutely, absolutely not! I don’t know what it feels like to kiss until breathless, with tongues intertwined! I, I’m just a baby…

Song Xingzi covered her ears and immediately shut off her mind-reading. “W-What? Why are you asking that?”

However, the flame ignited in her heart was not something that could be turned on and off like mind-reading.

“Tell me about it?” Li Yu’s smile became more benign, even carrying a hint of slyness. Since she started shipping the Song Xingzi x Ji Ruyue CP, she had never run out of material. The official couple was personally providing the “candy,” making her sweet romance writing journey extremely popular. Now her little readers were constantly screaming in the comments section, demanding more.

Tongues intertwined with Ji Ji, hugging her, holding each other tight, the sunlight shining on us…
