After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 38

The growth of the Morning Star fan group was surprising.

On the second day of filming, Meng Kelin couldn’t help but say to Lin Xin again, “Trust me. If I personally plan it, I can definitely make the Morning Stars…” go viral.

Lin Xin said, “Just give up that idea!”

Lin Xin looked at her indifferently while holding the script, then turned her back to Meng Kelin.

Meng Kelin sighed. Now that the studio only had Lin Xin, she didn’t need to follow her on set all the time. She was so bored that she wanted to bring in a couple of new artists. She finally had a potential couple to promote, but Lin Xin wouldn’t agree.

However, since she was also a member of the company, she also had a lot of company work to do besides managing Lin Xin.

Meng Kelin saw that Lin Xin was serious about not wanting to fake a relationship, so she had to give up again.

Even without anyone’s planning, the Morning Stars were steadily growing, but Lin Xin remained unmoved.

Even though two young newcomers in the entertainment industry last year had gained countless fans and brought in an unimaginable income for the company by faking a relationship, Lin Xin was still unswayed.

Lin Xin was very firm in her decision not to fake a relationship with Ye Linghua.

But the Morning Stars were a self-sufficient fan group. They didn’t need a leader and were still crazy about the couple.

The fan site owners had developed all sorts of skills. They would lie on walls, climb trees, and hide on rooftops. They were often chased away from the set in pursuit of a single picture.

As the filming at the golf course was coming to an end, the director decided to let everyone relax. On the last day of filming at this location, he let everyone play a round of golf.

Lin Xin, who had only pretended to play in the show, naturally didn’t dare or want to play for real.

She didn’t like to play golf, and since it was a hot day, Lin Xin immediately hid under a large sun umbrella.

Lu Tianyu, who was a regular golfer, saw her hiding and came over to call her.

Lin Xin quickly shook her head. “No, thanks.” She would rather watch everyone else play here. Thinking this, she quickly picked up the bottle of water next to her and took a sip.

Lu Tianyu went up and pulled her. “Come on! Golf is a sport where you can enjoy nature. It’s a shame not to play when Director Ding gives us a day off.”

Lin Xin held on to the water bottle and calmly said, “I don’t know how.”

Lu Tianyu didn’t give up. “Didn’t they hire someone to teach you before?”

The instructor had only taught them in a casual way. Lu Tianyu knew how to play, so she only needed a little practice. Lin Xin didn’t know how, so even if she had a detailed lesson, it was fine if she wasn’t good. The Lin Xin in the script was just an ordinary person, and it wasn’t an issue if she didn’t know how to play golf.

But now that she had to play for real, Lin Xin was afraid she would become a joke, so she refused again. “They did teach me, but I have no talent for this.”

Lu Tianyu felt a little disappointed. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Ye Linghua coming over. Her eyes lit up. She smiled and asked Ye Linghua, “Do you know how to play golf?”

Ye Linghua was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

She really knows how?

Lu Tianyu was a little surprised that an assistant would have the money to play golf.

But she was still happy and shouted, “That’s great!”

Ye Linghua was speechless. What’s so great about it? She didn’t want to play and was about to refuse when Lu Tianyu pointed at Lin Xin with a look of surprise. “You can teach her! I’ll play a game against her.”

Ye Linghua held back her refusal and changed her words. “I don’t have a problem with that.”

Lin Xin’s face became unnatural when she heard the conversation turn to her. Her eyes darted around, and her voice became softer. “Are you sure? I don’t like playing this stuff. I’m really bad at it.”

Ye Linghua gave a gentle smile. “Coincidentally, I love it. I’ve learned a lot, so I can teach you.”

Lin Xin was already hesitating between refusing and not refusing. After what Ye Linghua said, she couldn’t refuse. She could only say, “Okay… I’ll give it a try!”

Lu Tianyu saw that her plan had succeeded and smiled happily. “Then let’s go!”

So, the three of them left the sun umbrella and went to the golf tee.

Looking at the green scenery and feeling the cool breeze, Lin Xin regretted agreeing. She was a little nervous.

Lu Tianyu was the first to hit. She placed the ball on the tee, hit it perfectly, and then turned to them. “You guys go next. I’ll wait on the side. No rush.”

As the most popular female star today, Lu Tianyu had a very good temper.

Ye Linghua nodded to her and thanked her. She then had Lin Xin stand where Lu Tianyu had been and began to teach her. The previous coach had taught Lin Xin how to hold the club, but it was just for show. Ye Linghua went up to her to adjust the position of her hands and explained, “In the show, you had a scene where the club flew out of your hand. That happens mainly because you don’t have a good grip on the club. You only had to pretend to play during filming, but now that we’re actually hitting the ball, the grip is even more important. It not only prevents the club from slipping but also ensures the flexibility of your wrists.”

Lin Xin adjusted her posture as she listened to her, but her heart was beating fast. Ye Linghua’s hands touched hers repeatedly as she helped her adjust her grip, which made Lin Xin’s heart race.

On top of her own secret feelings, the feeling was amplified. The warmth of her hands as she moved hers, the strength of her hands as she adjusted her arm—all of it was transmitted through her skin. Lin Xin felt uncomfortable all over, but at the same time, she felt a strange sense of anticipation.

Even though she didn’t know what she was looking forward to, the closeness was pleasant. Lin Xin knew it was wrong.

But if she didn’t dare to take the next step, what’s the harm in giving in to a little bit of this closeness?

Seeing that Lin Xin had assumed the stance she had taught her, Ye Linghua stood in front of her again. “When you’re hitting the ball, remember that your arm, hand, and the club need to be one unit. Yes, that’s the posture. Your feet should be naturally apart, about the same width as your shoulders.”

Lin Xin followed Ye Linghua’s instructions step by step. Even though Ye Linghua’s voice seemed to be coming from far away, Lin Xin tried her best to follow each step so that she wouldn’t show her nervousness.

“Hit it.”

With the command, Lin Xin swung the club, but she didn’t hit the ball.

Ye Linghua was stunned. She looked at her strangely, then looked down at the ball at her feet. It wasn’t unheard of for a beginner to miss, but after the adjustments she had just made, it was very unlikely for a beginner to miss.

Ye Linghua’s silence made Lin Xin’s face instantly flush. All her romantic feelings vanished. She saw the disbelief in Ye Linghua’s eyes.

This made Lin Xin very upset. She looked at Ye Linghua with wide eyes and questioned her, “What? What? I’m a beginner. It’s normal to miss.” Did the director say anything when I missed during filming and even threw the club?

The thought made her angry. Lin Xin grabbed the club and was about to leave. Ye Linghua quickly stepped forward and pulled her back. “I didn’t say anything!”

Lin Xin said, “Your look says it all!”

Ye Linghua said, “…I just thought…” What’s the difference between telling the truth now and courting death? Ye Linghua quickly praised her. “That swing you just made was so cool. I was amazed!”

Lin Xin was speechless.

Lu Tianyu, watching them bickering like elementary schoolers, was laughing on the inside, but she kept a composed smile on her face. “It’s normal for beginners to miss! When I was a beginner, I missed all the time.”

Lin Xin, with the support of the popular star Lu Tianyu, instantly became more confident. “Exactly!”

But soon, Lu Tianyu looked troubled. “But we’re in the middle of a competition! We can’t keep missing! Hey, Assistant Ye, why don’t you hold her hands and teach her to hit it once? Once she gets the hang of it, she’ll know what to do.”

Lin Xin continued to nod. “Yeah! Yeah!”

Ye Linghua was speechless. Does this girl even know what it means to hold hands and teach someone?

Seeing that Lin Xin still didn’t understand, Ye Linghua was a little speechless, but she softly said, “Okay.” She then went behind Lin Xin. She stood a little distance away from her. “Please excuse me.”

Lin Xin was stunned and immediately stopped talking. She wanted to turn her head to look at her in surprise.

Ye Linghua put her hands on her head and said softly, “Look at the ball.” Since they were already so close, it was not a good idea for them to look at each other at this distance.

“Lower your head slightly and look at the club head.” As Ye Linghua spoke, she put her hands around to the front of Lin Xin. Her hands covered Lin Xin’s. Lin Xin’s eyes widened. Only then did she realize what it meant to hit the ball together.

They were sharing each other’s warmth. Neither of them knew how nervous the other was.

“Head down.”

With Ye Linghua’s words, Lin Xin mechanically lowered her head to look.

Then, she suddenly felt Ye Linghua lightly nudge her ankle, and Lin Xin almost fell to the ground.

Ye Linghua quickly held on to her, pulling her close to her body to prevent her from falling. She apologized. “I’m sorry. Are you okay?”

Lin Xin shook her head. Her black hair brushed against Ye Linghua’s face, causing a slight itch and a tingly feeling.

Ye Linghua closed her eyes to suppress her feelings and continued. “Bend your knees slightly. Is the club head touching the ground now?”

Lin Xin did as she was told. She nodded after feeling the club head touch the ground.

Ye Linghua helped Lin Xin adjust her body angle again. “Shift your weight to both feet.”

Shift my weight to both feet?

Lin Xin really wanted to shake her head and say she didn’t understand, but Ye Linghua’s breath on her ear made the hair on her ears and neck stand up. For a moment, she couldn’t say anything.

She mechanically held her posture again. Weight? Whatever.

“In a moment, I’ll swing for the first time with you. Your upper body will follow me.”

Lin Xin continued to nod, but she was still a little confused.

Ye Linghua said, “Ready.”

Then, Lin Xin felt Ye Linghua swing the club with her hands. The feeling of the club hitting the golf ball came, and with a “thump,” the ball flew out. Her body continued to follow the trajectory of the swing.

Her shoulder rotated with Ye Linghua, causing their bodies to be in close contact. The sound of their clothes rubbing against each other seemed to be amplified a thousand times and could be heard clearly.

The faint softness and warmth she felt were like feathers on her heart, ticklish and tingly.

Their two hearts were beating extremely fast. The sound of their heartbeats seemed to be right in her ear. Lin Xin felt her mind go blank and almost didn’t know what she was doing.

After Ye Linghua was sure the ball had flown away, she let go of Lin Xin’s hands. She looked at Lin Xin’s neck, which was so close to her. Her tied-up ponytail exposed her neck.

Seeing it so close and smelling the familiar scent of shower gel felt like the finest aphrodisiac, making a person fall for it if they weren’t careful.

But she couldn’t do that now. Ye Linghua, with her strong self-control, took a step back and created a distance between them.

“Sorry,” she apologized again.

After Ye Linghua moved away, Lin Xin suddenly felt a cool breeze on her back. The breeze that had felt cool just moments ago now felt cold. The sudden difference made her wake up quickly.

When she heard Ye Linghua’s apology, Lin Xin felt a little sad. She wanted to tell Ye Linghua that she didn’t need to apologize. She also wanted to tell Ye Linghua that she really liked this closeness.

But she still heard her own voice calmly say, “No need to apologize. You’re just teaching me to play golf.”

Ye Linghua smiled faintly. “Yes, just playing golf.”

After that, neither of them spoke.

Lu Tianyu, who was watching them, really wanted to whistle, but she knew that would be rude. So, she just said playfully, “It’s just playing golf. Okay, let’s keep going!”

But Lin Xin couldn’t handle that kind of closeness anymore, and she couldn’t handle saying things she didn’t mean. She threw the club down. “I’m not playing anymore. I don’t feel well. I’m sorry!”

Lu Tianyu shook her head and showed her concern. After that, Lin Xin ran away.

Ye Linghua didn’t chase after her. She stood there, watching her leave…
