After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 46

The morning breeze had a fresh, clear feel to it. It drove away the thin morning mist, and the hazy world gradually became clear. The morning light was faint, and the sun behind the mountain was slowly rising.

The pale blue sky gradually brightened, and a few remaining stars were faintly visible.

The white gauze curtains danced with the morning breeze. The morning light from outside shone into the bedroom through the thin gauze, and the mottled light and shadows swayed in the wind.

Lin Xin slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Her thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to last night. After she closed the door, she leaned against it for a long time, never hearing the sound of the door opening or closing next door. She didn’t know how long Ye Linghua had stood outside the door. Lin Xin didn’t wait for her to return to her room. But even after she went to bed, she couldn’t fall asleep.

She kept thinking about Ye Linghua’s confession. Her eyes were wide open in the dark, and she couldn’t sleep at all. Every moment of the night made Lin Xin restless. She stayed up until the early morning, and then the long-accumulated fatigue finally swept over her. The moment she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she decided to get up early the next morning to make Ye Linghua a hearty breakfast.

That way, she wouldn’t be angry, right? Lin Xin didn’t realize how abnormal her somewhat humble attitude was at the moment.

With the fatigue from this period of time and this small wish, she finally fell asleep. However, she had a nightmare and didn’t sleep well.

The days in autumn were getting shorter, but Lin Xin still woke up early.

She sat up, her eyes still hazy, and her messy hair was draped behind her. The wall in front of her separated her from Ye Linghua in the other room. Her memory suddenly went back to yesterday evening when she had gone to her room to call her, and she was standing in front of the desk.

Her graceful figure, standing in front of the desk, looked like a fairy who could float out of the window with the wind at any moment.

“I was writing a letter.” Ye Linghua’s voice suddenly broke into her mind.

Lin Xin suddenly thought to herself, Who was she writing a letter to last night? In this day and age, there are very few people who still write letters, right?

But Ye Linghua was a very proper person, so it didn’t feel out of place for a person like her to be writing a letter. She was very suitable for wearing a high-collared shirt and a long black skirt, sitting at a desk and writing with a fountain pen.

She was truly a very proper person. As Lin Xin thought this, her mind went back to her improper side from last night.

She couldn’t forget the kiss, the feeling of her body trembling from the grinding of their lips.

Pat, pat. Lin Xin slapped her cheeks hard, slapping away the ambiguous thoughts and making herself sober. Then she rolled out of bed and rushed into the bathroom to wash up.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Because she hadn’t slept well all night, there were dark circles under her eyes. After thinking about it, Lin Xin quickly pulled out her makeup bag from the cabinet and put on some light foundation. She then picked out some casual clothes from her closet and changed out of her pajamas.

A beautiful woman always looked good no matter what she wore. Lin Xin had always been confident in her appearance, but she still couldn’t help but look at herself in the mirror from all angles, trying to be as perfect as possible.

After she felt that she had no problems, she opened the door and went out. Unexpectedly, it was very quiet outside the door. Even though it was early in the morning, it was a little frighteningly quiet.

When she passed by Ye Linghua’s bedroom, the door was tightly closed. Lin Xin thought about her not-so-friendly attitude from yesterday and thought that Ye Linghua must have also stayed up very late and hadn’t slept well, just like her. So, it was normal for her not to be awake yet.

She tiptoed, afraid of making noise and waking Ye Linghua. She was on her toes as she went downstairs.

She didn’t relax until she reached the kitchen. After thinking for a moment, she took out some flour from the cabinet. She added water, kneaded it into a ball, and rolled it into a sheet.

Then, she took out the filling she had prepared early in the morning and made both steamed buns and dumplings. Then she put them in the steamer. While they were steaming, she went to the freezer to look for shrimp dumplings and other things.

She prepared breakfast in an orderly manner. Time passed as she added one delicious dish after another to the dining table.

When Lin Xin had prepared all the breakfast food and sat down at the table, she still didn’t see Ye Linghua come down from upstairs.

The entire villa was quiet, with no sound other than the noise she had made while making breakfast. It was as if she was the only one left in the world! It was as if having another person in this house had always been an illusion.

Lin Xin felt a pang in her heart. She looked through the high-definition glass door next to her and saw that the leaves on the trees in the yard had already turned yellow.

With the autumn breeze, they detached from the branches and slowly floated down.

The moment a leaf touched the ground…

“Ye Linghua!”

Lin Xin suddenly stood up, shouting her name as she went upstairs. It was as if, just like every other morning, Ye Linghua would be standing there, smiling and waiting for her.

“I made breakfast. If you sleep any longer, the food will get cold.” Lin Xin walked past the spiral staircase, through the long hallway, and arrived at her bedroom door.

Naturally, she didn’t get any response.

She had always thought that the figure would be there, so she pushed her away again and again. She knew that no one would be infinitely tolerant of her, but she still truly believed the words—“I’ll come back as long as you need me.”

When you hear such dream-like words too often, you start to believe them. She was long past that age and had been abandoned enough. So, she had put on a layer after layer of armor on her heart. But because she had seen a little bit of gentleness, she couldn’t help but expose her soft, tender flesh.

When she was hurt again, she was already covered in wounds, and now she had new ones.

Lin Xin blinked her big eyes. She knew her own cruelty and that no one in this world had to endure it. The poor, drenched kitten that had been hurt so much was pitiful, but it was also very guarded.

Humans who got too close would be attacked by the cat.

This was not likable, just like her. So, she was abandoned again and again.

Click. Lin Xin opened the door. The white curtains in front of the window directly opposite rustled in the wind.

On the bed in the room, the neatly folded comforter was placed on the bed. The pillow was placed on the square-folded comforter. It looked as if no one had slept in it all night.

Lin Xin didn’t know how she could sense that Ye Linghua was gone. She walked into the room, slowly walked to Ye Linghua’s closet, and gently opened it.

As expected, it was empty. It was probably because she had experienced this before that she could feel it.

But a gentle person was always gentle.

“That’s great.” Lin Xin couldn’t help but smile. She was happy to find that Ye Linghua had also taken the clothes she had bought for her.

So…

“She must not be angry.” That was why she took the clothes Lin Xin had bought for her.

However, this was something to be happy about. But her heart also felt as if it had been taken away. She felt an emptiness in her chest.

Lin Xin’s eyes suddenly stung. She wanted to cry but felt that she was being overly dramatic. She was the one who had pushed her away, and now she was the one who couldn’t let go.

So, she desperately tried to hold back her sadness.

Lin Xin pretended to be very happy and told herself, “Why didn’t she leave anything behind? At least one piece of her clothes!”

But there was no intimate relationship between them. They were just in an employment relationship. Her leaving was at most… at most, just quitting her job? But she should have given a month’s notice!

Lin Xin’s mind kept thinking about irrelevant things, as if that would make her forget the result she had been hoping for.

She walked to the desk where Ye Linghua had written the letter yesterday. She opened the drawer, and as expected…

A pink envelope was sitting there alone…

“That letter was for me?” Lin Xin reached out and picked up the letter. She opened the envelope and took out the letter.

She looked at it carefully and saw that it was on a special letterhead. Lin Xin couldn’t help but smile. She looked closer and saw that the handwriting on the letter was done with a fountain pen.

Lin Xin couldn’t help but chuckle. “So serious.”

Then, she took the letter and sat on the bed to read it. The wind blowing in from the window was very cool. It ruffled the hair at her temples, making Lin Xin look gentle.

[Xinxin:

Hope this letter finds you well.

When you see this letter, I should have already left my job.

When I first met you in early April, you were not as strong as you are now. You had just gone through a major life event that is not easily overcome, but you were still as warm as the sun in the sky.

I thought that a woman like you in this world was truly a beautiful thing.

Therefore, even though I knew I wasn’t a qualified housekeeper, that I couldn’t cook delicious food for you, and that I couldn’t keep the house in order, I still shamelessly stayed.

Looking back, it seems a little ridiculous.

But you are as beautiful as a hundred flowers in spring, beautiful and pleasant to the eye. You didn’t mind my incompetence and even took care of my self-esteem. I wanted to reciprocate, but there was nothing I could do. I wasn’t the person you were hoping for, and I couldn’t make you happy. But after thinking about it, I realized that I could accompany you through your struggles and walk with you on the path of success.

I hope you can forget all the sad things in this world and have a smooth journey from now on.

I thought I could be with you forever…

However, things in this world are unpredictable. I am just a mortal. When I saw how beautiful you are, I couldn’t help but fall for you.

Human desires are boundless. We always feel like what we have isn’t enough.

When my heart was controlled by desire, I was inevitably disrespectful to you. I was worried about your disgust and even more afraid of you distancing yourself from me.

Thinking about it now, I see your brave side again.

I truly, truly, truly admire everything about you and your courage. Only by being pushed away by the person you love can you understand how much courage it took for you to live your life.

I am not as brave as you are. When I was pushed away, I was sad and heartbroken. But human emotions are never reasonable. Who can demand that someone must give a response and give them love?

I understand this, but I am still not resigned to it and don’t want to be pushed away again and again.

Please forgive me for being so timid and weak that I couldn’t even do a simple thing like giving a month’s notice.

I didn’t dare to leave in front of you, and I didn’t dare to say goodbye to your face.

But after thinking about it, I was just a housekeeper in your life and an assistant in your work. A few months’ time might not even leave a deep mark on your heart.

That’s right, Xinxin. I was so insignificant. It’s not your fault. It was my own delusion.

During this time, I was always unable to see my own feelings and your feelings clearly.

But it was only after being distanced again and again, and when my heart ached unbearably, that I suddenly understood. It is a brave and fearless thing to be able to give in step by step in a relationship like this! The person you once loved so much might still be hard to forget.

Xinxin, if pursuing happiness means being with someone, then try it! Just like me, try it. It doesn’t matter even if you fail.

You still have so much. At the very least, the sky above your head will always be there.

I love you.

Ye Linghua]

The sun outside the window had risen to the middle of the sky. The large tree that was lush in the summer now had very few leaves. The few that were hanging on were all yellow.

Their lives were like her first encounter with Ye Linghua. They met in spring, and they grew in spring.

They passed through the hot summer and arrived at autumn, the end of their lives.

They fell from the branches one by one, signaling the end of this life.

Just like this letter Ye Linghua had left.

Lin Xin looked at her signature and couldn’t help but reach out and touch it. What a proper person! But her signature was so wild and unrestrained.

“Wuwuwuwu, Ye Linghua! Why did you have to write me a letter!”

At this moment, Lin Xin could no longer hold back. She squatted on the ground and started crying.

Lin Xin thought that Ye Linghua’s letter was what made her unable to forget her. But she didn’t know that if her heart hadn’t already been deeply in love with her, a letter would have been useless.

Sorry, I’m late. I went for a walk. I’ll write more tonight.
