After the Fake Heiress Died, She Was Filled with Regret - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Girlfriend, Can I Kiss You Again…

That night, Xia Shinan, who usually fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, found her mind filled with the words from the script, and she was unusually sleepless. However, she was still feeling energetic. She woke up early, put on makeup, and left the house. She even stopped by a bakery and bought some tasty coffee buns. Thinking of the other club members, she bought enough for everyone.

Thus, when Duan Xiaofei saw Xia Shinan, she was carrying two paper bags from the bakery, wearing a flowery dress, and skipping towards them joyfully.

If there was music playing for Xia Shinan right now, it would likely be something very light and sweet.

Hmm… sweet? Why did she suddenly think that? Probably because when Tang Yin showed up today, she gave her the same feeling, especially when Xia Shinan took out the bread to share with everyone, this strange feeling became even stronger.

“Shinan, did you and Tang Yin plan this? One brings coffee, the other brings bread,” Duan Xiaofei couldn’t help but ask.

Coffee? Xia Shinan only just noticed that everyone had a cup of coffee in their hands.

Tang Yin bought these? “Where is Tang Yin?”

“She went to make a phone call.” Duan Xiaofei persisted, “Hurry up and tell me, what good news do you two have?”

Xia Shinan was at a loss for words, stammering, “I just wanted to bring everyone breakfast.” She was always a poor liar, and her eyes darted around nervously.

“That’s definitely not it! Tell me, tell me!”

“Of course, there’s good news,” Tang Yin walked in from outside. “Xia Shinan and I made a bet before. If she passed her physical fitness test, I would treat everyone to coffee.”

“Oh… so that’s what it was.” Tail looked a little disappointed. “I thought…”

Duan Xiaofei nudged her with her elbow, telling her to stop talking.

Tail glanced at Fang Yue and nodded, keeping quiet. She had only heard from Duan Xiaofei yesterday that Fang Yue had actually joined the club for Tang Yin. Regardless of whether things worked out between her and Tang Yin in the end, it was better not to say anything more right now.

With Tang Yin’s help, the situation was smoothed over. Xia Shinan handed the bread to everyone. She paused when she saw Fang Yue, then quickly handed her the largest pork floss bun.

Xia Shinan felt a little guilty and didn’t dare to look into Fang Yue’s eyes, feeling like she had wronged her.

She had sworn to Fang Yue that she and Tang Yin were just good friends, but now the situation was completely different. She quietly thought to herself that she needed to find a chance to talk to Fang Yue and clarify things.

While everyone was busy, Tang Yin handed her a milk coffee.

“No sugar, hot.”

“Thank you, Tang… Tang Yin.” Xia Shinan almost blurted out the name she used in the contact note, but managed to stop herself. She took a small sip. It was her favorite flavor. She couldn’t help but smile.

“What are you smiling at?” Tang Yin raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xia Shinan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed as she whispered, “I wanted to bring you bread, and you thought of bringing me coffee. We… are telepathic.”

Tang Yin’s lips curved upward, “Who said that? I got paid, so I thought of treating everyone to coffee.”

Xia Shinan’s smile froze, “What?”

“I’m kidding,” Tang Yin couldn’t help but gently pinch her cheek. “Of course, I would bring you breakfast. I brought bread, specifically for you.”

Xia Shinan’s eyes sparkled, “Then I want the exclusive bread!”

“I’ll sneak it to you later,” Tang Yin whispered into her ear. After smelling Xia Shinan’s fresh hair scent, she took a step back.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Shinan asked, confused. “Does my hair smell?”

Tang Yin shook her head: “Avoiding suspicion.”

“Oh…” Xia Shinan replied, lowering her head to continue drinking coffee. She honestly didn’t care what others thought if they knew she liked girls, just as Tang Yin had said, her own feelings were the most important.

But if the gossip could hurt Tang Yin, then she was willing to have a secret relationship for now.

Fang Yue, who was not far away, happened to see this scene and couldn’t help but clench her fists.

The morning shoot went smoothly, finishing even ahead of schedule. Tang Yin had already filmed several sets of solo shots, so Duan Xiaofei took advantage of the good weather and finished Xia Shinan’s solo scenes as well.

In the afternoon, everyone went to a nearby cafeteria for convenience.

“Time flies so fast. Just like that, we’re almost done filming,” Duan Xiaofei sighed. “We finish filming just in time for the May Day holiday. I absolutely need a good rest. I can start editing the film after the holiday! By the way, where are you all planning to go for May Day?”

Xia Shinan shook her head, “No plans. I’ll probably just stay home or on campus.”

Tang Yin nodded, “Me too. Going out is too crowded and exhausting.”

Tail heard this and asked, “Oh, right! My cousin has a countryside resort near Solin. It’s only an hour’s drive away. You can fish, barbecue, sing, and even camp there at night. Are you interested?”

Duan Xiaofei: “That sounds good! Camping at night, maybe we can even see the stars… How about this? Let’s film an extra scene of Mi Jia and Xiao Ying together as a bonus!”

Tail clicked her tongue, “You just said you needed a good rest after filming, and now you’re thinking about filming again. You need to ask Shinan and Tang Yin if they’re willing!”

Duan Xiaofei turned her head, looking pitiful, “Can we? My two darlings…”

Xia Shinan found Duan Xiaofei endearing. She exchanged a smile with Tang Yin and nodded: “I think so, if nothing comes up with my family.”

Tang Yin: “Me too.”

Fang Yue lowered her head and ate her food, saying softly, “I want to go too.”

Duan Xiaofei clapped her hands: “Great! We’ll confirm the final number of people later. Tail, tell your cousin to give us a discount!”

Tail: “No problem!”

After lunch, everyone headed to the girls’ dorm laundry room for the shoot.

Duan Xiaofei had already arranged with the dorm manager to borrow the laundry room, so only the club members were present.

“Everyone adjust your state. Shinan, Tang Yin, you must fight with each other later!” Duan Xiaofei reminded them. Seeing how good Xia Shinan and Tang Yin’s relationship was, she worried they would have a hard time getting into the mood…

Five minutes later.

Mi Jia walked into the laundry room with her clothes, feeling down, poking the washing machine buttons as if she were poking someone. At the same time, she muttered to herself: “Idiot, bad person! If you like chatting and laughing with her so much, then just keep chatting forever… I never want to see you again!”

Suddenly, Xiao Ying appeared by the laundry room door and happened to hear the last sentence, her face darkened, “Who don’t you want to see?”

Mi Jia was startled. Her eyes lit up when she saw her friend, but then she remembered she was still angry with her. She turned back to operate the washing machine, “Who else? You!”

“What did I do to upset you this time?” Xiao Ying walked in and closed the door. “Why are you always so moody? You haven’t given me or An Hui a good look in class today.”

An Hui was the other girl who liked Xiao Ying. When Mi Jia heard her name spoken by Xiao Ying, her anger instantly flared up.

“Yes! I’m just being moody! Unlike that An Hui, who laughs and jokes with you every day. Then go be friends with her! Why are you looking for me! Anyway… anyway, didn’t we break off our friendship before!”

Xiao Ying frowned, confused: “What does An Hui have to do with this? Why are you bringing her up when it’s about us?”

Mi Jia thought of the two of them in class during the day, and the resentment in her heart suddenly erupted, “Because she likes you, and I’m jealous, okay!”

Xiao Ying paused, then scoffed, “What are you jealous about?”

Mi Jia’s tears welled up: “I’m jealous of her, okay! Why am I so unlucky to have fallen for an idiot like you!”

The air solidified for two seconds. Xiao Ying was stunned, unable to believe what she had heard. She spoke slowly: “You… like… me?”

Mi Jia’s eyes widened. She was utterly shocked by her own outburst. She spoke tremblingly: “I, I, I didn’t! I have to go back to the dorm first.”

Then, she rushed out of the laundry room, practically fleeing in panic.

The laundry room was on the first floor of the dorm, right next to the stairwell. Mi Jia turned to run up the stairs, but Xiao Ying grabbed her arm. She paused, looking at the girl in front of her.

Her breathing was still ragged, and her heart felt like it was about to explode.

Xiao Ying looked at her without saying a word, but then took two steps up the stairs. The next second, her face slowly approached, intending to kiss Mi Jia’s lips…

Duan Xiaofei and Tail watched the scene quietly from the side. Xia Shinan and Tang Yin were acting exceptionally well. Their expressions and emotions were spot-on. Everyone watched with great interest, the atmosphere tense and expectant.

Just as Xiao Ying’s lips were about to touch Mi Jia’s, Tail couldn’t help but let out a tiny scream.

“Cut!” A shout arrived before the scream.

Tail’s eyes were filled with unexpressed disappointment. She glared at Duan Xiaofei and whispered, “Why did you shout ‘Cut’!” If they had actually kissed, she would have gone wild!

Duan Xiaofei looked innocent: “I didn’t shout ‘Cut’!”

Then who was it…?

The two looked at Fang Yue next to them.

Fang Yue bit her lip: “They wouldn’t really kiss, would they? The script said it was a camera trick…”

Duan Xiaofei bit her lip and remained silent: “…”

That’s true, but… sigh!

Xia Shinan and Tang Yin had already separated, both looking a little uncomfortable.

Duan Xiaofei’s tone was filled with regret: “Great job, everyone. The filming was highly successful today! Shinan, Tang Yin, do you want to come and see what we just filmed? It was truly amazing!”

“Okay…” Xia Shinan agreed, glancing at Tang Yin in front of her. When Tang Yin leaned in just now, she genuinely thought… they were going to kiss.

The person who stopped first when “Cut!” was called was Tang Yin. She detached from the role very quickly. While Xia Shinan admired her, she also felt a little empty inside.

Xia Shinan nervously watched the video they had just filmed, her gaze entirely focused on Tang Yin. Tang Yin’s smile, Tang Yin’s frown, the moment Tang Yin reached out to cup her face, about to kiss her…

Tang Yin acted so well. Even watching it now from the audience’s perspective, she still felt a flutter in her heart, and she still… regretted the missed kiss.

After confirming the footage was perfect, the day’s filming was completely finished. Everyone packed up and left one after another, including Xia Shinan and Tang Yin.

Just a short distance away, Tang Yin said she had left her phone in the laundry room and needed to go back for it. The two turned back.

“I don’t see your phone. Do you remember where you put it?” Xia Shinan searched carefully but found nothing. She turned around and saw Tang Yin smiling at her.

“Tang Yin, what are you smiling at?” she asked, tilting her head.

Tang Yin took a few steps closer, “I lied. My phone is not lost; it’s in my bag.”

“Then why did you…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Tang Yin leaned down slightly and gently kissed her on the lips.

Xia Shinan’s pupils instantly dilated. Tang Yin… kissed her! Her blood seemed to be flowing backward, and her brain felt slightly oxygen-deprived.

“Actually, I really wanted to kiss you during the filming, but I held back,” Tang Yin pulled away from her lips, looking into her eyes. “Girlfriend, can I kiss you again?”

Xia Shinan couldn’t lie, and she couldn’t say whether she wanted it or not, but she had already closed her eyes.

And Tang Yin kissed her again, her lips and tongue gently prying open her teeth, inviting the tip of her tongue to dance.

This was Xia Shinan’s first kiss. She didn’t know what to do, letting Tang Yin lead everything. She felt like she was about to suffocate, but Tang Yin would thoughtfully pull back for a second to let her breathe.

Finally, she was practically limp in Tang Yin’s embrace, tightly clutching the fabric around the other woman’s waist.

Tang Yin looked at Xia Shinan like this, and finally revealed her true self, whispering softly, “What a good girl.”
