After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 30
After Ye Linghua went upstairs, she told Lin Xin what had happened. “Your fans are downstairs!”
Lin Xin had also noticed that a few fans had started to follow her recently, but since there weren’t many, she didn’t pay too much attention to it. After all, many of the programs she had recorded recently had already aired, so they were probably new fans.
The two of them took the elevator to the parking lot, where the newly hired driver was waiting for them.
Lin Xin asked Ye Linghua, “Did you see those fans?”
Ye Linghua still looked confused as she remembered the fans. “Yeah, I saw them when I was leaving.”
Lin Xin was puzzled by her words. She asked, “Why did you go out to see them?”
Ye Linghua said, “When I was about to go upstairs to find you, they waved at me excitedly. I thought, since they’re your fans, I’d go out and say hello.”
Lin Xin was even more confused. Waved at Ye Linghua? Why would her fans wave at Ye Linghua?
Of course, Ye Linghua quickly provided the answer.
Ye Linghua: “When I went out, they were still very excited to see me. That’s when I realized they recognized me from the music video.”
Lin Xin suddenly understood. She thought they must have recognized Ye Linghua from the music video, and because Ye Linghua was good-looking, the fans loved her too.
Ye Linghua: “When I was leaving, they said they wished us happiness.” She rubbed her chin and laughed. “If this were a wedding, I would understand the meaning. But for them to say that suddenly at the entrance of a building… I was stunned by their blessings. Then they said they would support us. Although I don’t know these terms from the entertainment industry, it must be a good thing, right? So I thanked them.”
Lin Xin: “…” At that moment, Lin Xin felt like she had an inkling of what was going on.
When they got in the car and it drove away from the office building, Lin Xin stuck her head out to look. She indeed saw fans gathered at the entrance. In addition to her fans, there were fans of other people as well.
Everyone was looking around, even though they knew the person they were waiting for probably wouldn’t come out of that door.
In the crowd, she saw her fans holding a sign. It said “Lin Xin” on the front and “Morning Star” on the back.
Morning Star?
When they got home, Ye Linghua picked up an apron and went to the kitchen. “I’ll make you something simple.”
Lin Xin knew that Ye Linghua’s cooking skills were average and that she couldn’t make anything too complicated. She thought about cooking herself, but Ye Linghua saw what she was thinking and pressed her onto the sofa. “You sit down! I can at least make some noodles.”
Lin Xin obediently sat there. After Ye Linghua left, she took out her phone and went to her personal fan group page.
At this time, there was no news about Morning Star in her fan group.
So, she exited the fan group page and typed “Morning Star” into the search bar.
A couple fan group page popped up, startling her.
A newly created couple fan group page, with less than a hundred fans, was shining brightly on the list.
Lin Xin: “…”
The profile picture of the fan group was the scene from the music video where she and Ye Linghua were filming the hair-drying scene. The enchanting scene looked like the most intimate of lovers.
No matter how many times Lin Xin looked at it, she couldn’t help but blush. But in reality, she and Ye Linghua weren’t lovers, and this kind of hair-drying moment might never happen again.
She took a deep breath and entered the Morning Star page. Because there were so few people, the posts stayed at the top all day.
The most recent post was about her visit to the studio today. It was a post from a couple fan with a photo and a sentence.
In the photo, Ye Linghua was sitting alone in the lobby, flipping through a magazine. She was leaning against the sofa, her head slightly turned, and her eyelids were lowered, showing her long eyelashes. The photo was edited; the background was blurred, and some light was added.
This made Ye Linghua look so elegant and radiant, like a princess in a castle.
Lin Xin couldn’t help but blush, thinking that the photos taken by the couple fans were truly powerful. She couldn’t help but save the photo before looking at the comments.
[Comments]
“I went to wait for Xinbao today! I unexpectedly saw our Little Morning Star.”
Little Morning Star? Morning Star? Was this a nickname for Ye Linghua because they didn’t know her name?
She continued to read, and a fan’s comment was pinned to the top.
“I just found out today that our Little Morning Star is Xinbao’s personal assistant. Wuwuwu, it makes me so happy. It turns out that the hair-drying scene was real.”
“Is that true? Is she really a personal assistant? She doesn’t look like one!”
“Look at her poise sitting there. Does she look like a personal assistant? So, what does this mean? Sisters, think about it! Really think about it!”
“Wuwuwu, it means Little Morning Star became a personal assistant for Xinbao.”
When Lin Xin read this, she couldn’t help but secretly look at Ye Linghua, who was busy in the kitchen. Is that true?
Then she slapped herself. She was actually following the couple fans’ line of thought! This kind of unrealistic plot was something only a couple fan would believe, and she was actually taking it seriously!
Ye Linghua saw this scene from the kitchen and felt conflicted. Was she so tired that she was dizzy? She was hitting herself.
Meanwhile, Lin Xin continued to read the comments.
“You really should go and see her. Little Morning Star is more beautiful, beautiful, beautiful than she was in the music video. I’ll say it three times to emphasize it. And Little Morning Star has an incredible aura.”
“It’s true, it’s true. She and Xinbao are a perfect match!!! I’ll support them for my whole life!!!”
“Although I’m a new fan, the ticket price was so worth it (^^). It’s a little sad that I didn’t get to see Xinbao.”
Lin Xin patted her face to get rid of the heat. But she still felt that the fans were right. Ye Linghua was indeed very beautiful and had a great aura. She was a great person. If her mother hadn’t hired a housekeeper, she might not have found such a good person!
She turned to look, and Ye Linghua was serving the noodles.
Such a good person was making her noodles! The key was that she already had a couple fan base with Ye Linghua!
Even if there were only a pitiful few dozen people…
Ye Linghua came out with two bowls of noodles, glanced at Lin Xin, and saw her hiding behind the sofa, staring at her with wide, round eyes.
She was speechless for a moment, and she couldn’t figure out what she had done to deserve such a look.
Ye Linghua: “…What’s wrong?”
Lin Xin praised her: “I just feel like you’re amazing.”
Ye Linghua, a housekeeper whose cooking and housework skills were subpar, didn’t feel proud when she heard this praise. She felt like she had just been shot by an arrow. So, she couldn’t help but ask her, “Are you mocking me?”
Lin Xin was stunned by this answer. She thought about it and realized she was just praising her! Why would she say that? She didn’t understand, but Lin Xin quickly explained, “…No, I really think you’re amazing.”
Seeing her looking so wronged, as if she was being scolded for giving a compliment, Ye Linghua couldn’t help but smile faintly. Her smile was a little light, but it was comforting to look at.
She called out to Lin Xin in a soft voice, “Come and eat!”
It was always a simple sentence that made people forget their worries. It seemed that as long as she followed that sentence, everything would be okay.
Ye Linghua was like a magician, a magician who could conjure a pumpkin carriage.
Lin Xin took a bite of the noodles and her face fell. The magician’s cooking skills were not good either. She asked, “Did you try a new recipe again?”
Ye Linghua wasn’t a good cook, but she had a few signature dishes. Making noodles was a skill she had, as long as she didn’t suddenly decide to try a new recipe…
Ye Linghua lowered her head and hummed in agreement, seeming helpless as well.
Meng Kelin had hired a team, and the studio’s social media content became more interesting, and the frequency of her posts on Weibo increased.
Most importantly, Lin Xin had been a guest on various variety shows recently, and she also started accepting endorsements. The momentum of “Dusk” had exceeded everyone’s expectations. As it spread more widely, Lin Xin’s popularity also grew.
In all these years, it was almost unimaginable how many downloads and views “Dusk” had. It had dominated all the app charts.
Not only Lin Xin, but Wang Shisen’s popularity in the industry also skyrocketed, and more and more people came to him to request songs.
And because of the lyrics of “Dusk,” people came to know the famous composer Zhang Kunshan.
Some variety shows even approached Zhang Kunshan, but he didn’t plan to accept any offers, and many people left disappointed.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary of the song was Lin Xin. As the song spread widely, the products that approached Lin Xin for endorsements also became more high-end.
She was busy every day, leaving early and coming home late. As the product sales went up, Lin Xin also made a name for herself with major brands.
Meng Kelin then began to prepare to take on scripts. Although she also considered variety shows, many of the shows that approached her didn’t seem good enough after Meng Kelin’s research. Also, Lin Xin had been on many variety shows recently, and if she kept appearing on them, fans might criticize her for having no works and just going on shows to make money.
Based on these considerations, Meng Kelin only let Lin Xin take on endorsements until a good script came along.
The various photos in the fan group never stopped, always boosting the fans’ morale.
After resting for a few days, Lin Xin woke up early one morning.
She received a call from Meng Kelin early in the morning. Meng Kelin stammered on the phone for a long time without saying anything clearly.
Lin Xin knew that something had happened. It had been four months since the divorce.
Lin Xin had moved on from her previous marriage earlier than she had expected. Therefore, despite Meng Kelin’s attitude, Lin Xin guessed that this matter was related to Zheng Lanwen.
She calmly accepted whatever the outcome was. Her voice was especially calm as she asked, “What is it? Just say it directly.”
Meng Kelin: “Okay, then I’ll say it…”
Lin Xin got dressed, washed up, and walked downstairs with her phone.
Meng Kelin: “Zheng Lanwen’s variety show has been bought by a TV station, so it will be broadcast on a major channel.”
Lin Xin paused on the stairs, feeling a certain way. In fact, Zheng Lanwen would have become famous even without her help. She had heard about this variety show, and under those circumstances, she could still turn things around.
Zheng Lanwen wasn’t without skill, and she had the blessing of great luck. It would have been the same whether she was there or not.
Downstairs, Ye Linghua also received a text message from her best friend. Looking at the message, she slowly narrowed her eyes.
The main character! She really couldn’t be stopped by a few small difficulties.
Even if Zheng Lanwen had no skill, her main character aura would still propel her to the top. What’s more, she wasn’t completely without skill.
The investment that was once stalled didn’t seem so foolish now.
After all, in the investment world, the winner is king. Even luck is a part of one’s strength.
Hearing Lin Xin coming downstairs, Ye Linghua turned off her phone and put it on the dining table. She looked at Lin Xin and smiled sweetly. “Are you up?”
Early in the morning, this kind of gentle smile always had a heart-stopping effect.
Lin Xin was stunned and quickly smiled back. “Morning.”
Of course, this heart-stopping effect was the same for Ye Linghua.
Ye Linghua looked away, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart. She said, “I made some soy milk this morning and bought some steamed buns. You sit down. I’ll get them.”
After she went into the kitchen, Ye Linghua calmed down. She had been a little hesitant about Lin Xin, but now, Zheng Lanwen had proven the power of the main character’s aura. Under those circumstances, she could still succeed. So what about the plot? And what about Lin Xin’s feelings?
As soon as she thought about this, her heart, which had been a little warm, grew cold.
Lin Xin obediently sat at the table, looking at Ye Linghua’s busy back in the kitchen. She always felt a sense of contentment. She rested her chin on her hands, and her head involuntarily swayed back and forth.
At this moment, when she was in a good mood, a notification sound went off.
She realized it was the message from Ye Linghua’s phone that she had just put on the table. She glanced at it, and the screen was lit up with a WeChat message.
It was probably from Ye Linghua’s friend. Lin Xin didn’t think she should look at someone else’s phone; that was a very rude thing to do.
She was about to look away, but her peripheral vision caught the two words, “Birthday.”
Lin Xin paused and finally couldn’t help but move her gaze over. She could then clearly see what the person said: “This Saturday is your birthday. How do you plan to celebrate this year? Are you coming back?”
Birthday?
Lin Xin froze. Her mind immediately recalled everything that had happened since she had met Ye Linghua.
The phone screen lit up, then slowly dimmed, and finally went black.
But Lin Xin remained in the same position. All the scenes in her mind went through her head, finally stopping at the image of the tissue Ye Linghua handed to her in the rain.
Just as the song said, because of your birth, the world has become a little warmer, and I have hope for the world.
You helped me find my way home and made me no longer afraid of the lights at night.
This person, who made her feel hopeful about the world, was having a birthday soon?
Saturday? Was it Ye Linghua’s birthday?
Lin Xin’s gaze finally wavered and turned to Ye Linghua. She was still busy in the kitchen. Her beautiful long hair, as dark as jade, was draped behind her. Her height, which was taller than her, her captivating figure and beauty, and even just her fingers holding the bowl, made her heart beat faster.
A person like this, I, I have to celebrate her birthday.
