After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 58.1

All the friends looked at her with an expression that said, “Is this person an idiot?” as if they couldn’t understand why, when they only had a one-hour privilege to enter the park early, she would waste 20 minutes waiting.

But they looked at Ye Linghua’s determined eyes, then turned to look at Lin Xin (林欣), noticing the way Lin Xin was looking back at Ye Linghua.

They realized instantly, let out an “Ohhh~“, and then said, “Fine, you two wait, you two take the boat. We’ll go ahead.”

The group left in the shuttle bus with playful chatter, leaving only Ye Linghua and Lin Xin waiting at the pier.

On the winter pier, a cold sea breeze blew, carrying a salty scent. The seawater surged everywhere, and the white waves crashed against the pier’s concrete wall.

The seagulls had moved away due to the cold. Lin Xin stood alone on the pier, the hem of her coat rustling in the wind.

She tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear, her face alight with happiness from Ye Linghua’s gentle treatment.

Since the next boat hadn’t arrived, there were only a few scattered people on the pier.

The Ocean Park, apart from its name as the world’s largest amusement park, was a popular choice for couples due to its endless beautiful ocean views.

The park offered attractions for children: merry-go-rounds, slow train roller coasters, intersecting slides…

It also had many thrilling rides for adults, such as the dinosaur monster roller coaster, the exciting pirate ship, and the free-fall rocket ride…

Of course, the Haunted House (鬼屋) or the towering Ferris Wheel (摩天輪) that couples loved to frequent could also be found at the Ocean Park.

Although Lin Xin had never been here or been on the rides, she had often wanted to come with Zheng Lanwen (鄭岚雯) after they got married.

“The cruise hasn’t arrived yet. I’m going to buy you some water,” Ye Linghua was unaccustomed to their solitude and turned to head toward the small convenience store.

Lin Xin immediately followed closely behind her. Ye Linghua paused, turned to look at her, and instructed: “Wait for me here.”

Lin Xin opened her large eyes and said innocently and genuinely, “If I don’t go, how will you know what I drink?”

Ye Linghua: “…You can tell me.”

Lin Xin blinked her big eyes: “But, if I don’t go, how will I know what they have?”

Ye Linghua: “…” Hmm, she has a point.

Unable to refute, Ye Linghua could only take Lin Xin to the convenience store.

Her phone chimed. Perhaps to alleviate the awkwardness between them, Ye Linghua took out her phone to look.

She saw the message from those fools: 【Huazi, Go for it!】

【I can tell the little sister-in-law is very interested in you!】

Ye Linghua secretly glanced at Lin Xin. Seeing that she wasn’t paying attention, she quickly replied: 【Jokes should be kept in check.】

【Which part are you referring to? Telling you to pursue her? Or ‘little sister-in-law’?】

Ye Linghua choked and finally replied: 【Both.】

【Tsk. If you don’t like it, why didn’t you reject her sooner?】

【Exactly, we’re all used to calling her that.】

【Right! Right! Right! We saw you didn’t object this morning, that’s why we called her that. What’s your problem?】

【What are you being so picky about!!! Do you see the little sister-in-law being picky about you?】

【Seriously, a stainless steel tree that won’t bloom or bear fruit, who doesn’t understand romance or sweet words, is still talking so much nonsense.】

【Someone liking you should make you feel lucky.】

Seeing them become more and more outrageous, turning her from a mere ‘stainless steel tree’ into a generally detested person, Ye Linghua decided to ignore them.

So, she turned off her phone.

Just then, she and Lin Xin arrived at the store. Lin Xin was looking at drinks in front of the refrigerator.

Ye Linghua looked up, then silently lowered her head, saying, “It’s winter. How about a hot drink?”

Lin Xin cheered up and immediately said, “Okay~!” Then she obediently turned toward the other side.

Although few people drank cold drinks in winter, the cold storage still contained many beverages. The hot drink machine, however, was small and was even put away during the summer.

Only in winter was the hot drink machine frequented more often. Lin Xin stood in front of the machine, looking closely. Considering her figure, she quietly picked up a hot coffee.

She turned to Ye Linghua, her dark eyes wide and innocent, like a child’s. She asked Ye Linghua, “What are you drinking? My treat!”

Ye Linghua didn’t refuse and casually picked up a bottle of mineral water from the shelf.

Lin Xin smiled. “You don’t have to save me money!”

Ye Linghua always felt that Lin Xin’s smile was exceptionally sweet toward her. Was she always this style?

But being sweetly smiled at by the person she liked, Ye Linghua naturally felt a little flustered and casually replied, “I’m thirsty, and I just want this.”

Lin Xin said no more and went to the counter to check out. Next to the counter were several heating machines: one warming oden (Japanese stew), one grilling hot dogs, and one keeping various fried skewers warm.

Lin Xin looked carefully, then pointed to the chicken chunks with sauce and asked, “Do you want some?”

Ye Linghua immediately saw through her: “…You want to eat it, don’t you?”

Lin Xin giggled. “I can’t finish it.”

Ye Linghua: “…” Wait, what does that mean?

Lin Xin looked at her, her eyes sparkling. “Should I buy one skewer, and we share?” It’s fried chicken chunks! One piece each, and no shared saliva, right?

Ye Linghua choked, silently watching her. However, Lin Xin seemed determined and was not affected by her stare.

“Are you two going to pay or not?” the clerk couldn’t help but prompt them.

Ye Linghua turned to the clerk and said, “One skewer of fried chicken.” Lin Xin smiled happily.

The clerk looked up at the two strangely, then was surprised to notice Lin Xin. Her heart jumped, but her face remained unfazed—her professional training was excellent.

She turned and fetched a skewer of fried chicken for them and said calmly, “That will be 16 in total.”

Lin Xin happily handed over her phone payment screen. The clerk scanned the code, bagged the water for them, and put the fried skewer into a greaseproof paper bag.

Ye Linghua carried the water, and Lin Xin held the paper bag, following behind her.

As the two left the store, the clerk secretly took out her phone to snap a picture.

Ye Linghua carried the water and returned to the pier to wait for the cruise ship. Lin Xin followed behind her.

Lin Xin took out the fried skewer and gently bit into a piece. The savory-sweet sauce generously coated the fried chicken. One bite filled her entire mouth with fragrance.

The crispy outer skin was softened by the sauce, and the tender chicken meat was chewy.

Lin Xin comfortably squinted her eyes. The sunlight fell on her face, seemingly giving her delicate features a halo.

Ye Linghua was momentarily stunned. She looked away, took out the coffee inside, and handed it to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin didn’t take it. She looked at Ye Linghua and asked, “Can you open the can for me?”

Ye Linghua leaned down to open the coffee can. Only then did Lin Xin take it, drank from it, and then handed it back to Ye Linghua, saying, “Thank you.”

Ye Linghua took the coffee can, suddenly bewildered. Wait, why are you giving it back to me?

Before she could figure it out, the fried skewer was suddenly held up to her mouth. Lin Xin’s clear voice echoed in her ear: “Do you want a piece?”

Ye Linghua shook her head: “No, thank you.”

Lin Xin was persistent: “It’s delicious.”

Ye Linghua closed her eyes: “I don’t want to eat it.”

Lin Xin was calm: “You actually look down on me, don’t you?”

Ye Linghua: “…”

Needless to say, under Lin Xin’s coercion, Ye Linghua, who wasn’t very resolute to begin with, had to bend down and bite a piece of chicken off the wooden skewer.

With the chicken in her mouth, Lin Xin happily asked her, “Is it good?”

Like a child sharing something they loved, she wanted a response.

Ye Linghua found it funny but answered seriously, “Mm.”

Because the large chunk of chicken hadn’t been swallowed yet, she couldn’t speak, only offering a simple affirmative sound and a nod.

Lin Xin was pleased with the answer. She took the coffee can back from Ye Linghua, drank from it, and watched the cruise ship approaching from a distance.

Meanwhile, the store clerk, after taking a picture of Lin Xin feeding Ye Linghua, shrieked and uploaded it to her Weibo.

【Ahhhhhhh, you will never guess, never guess, never guess who I saw today!!! I’m so lucky!!! I’m officially shipping all the sweet moments for this lifetime!!!】

Following the text was a picture.

The ‘Morning Star’  fan group was already quite large, but it hadn’t matured yet.

The fanbase hadn’t fully developed, so there weren’t many strange kinds of fans, and anti-fans  hadn’t settled in yet.

And because the Little Morning Star had resigned, the things they could ship were getting fewer and fewer.

New fans could still do ‘archaeology’ and find content that was new to them, screaming with joy as they shipped.

But for the older fans, there hadn’t been new material for too long. Some, unable to endure the silence, either unfollowed or jumped ship to the ‘Lingxing’ (零星 – the name of an alternate CP).

Although new posts appeared in the Super Topic (超話) every day, they were either routine check-ins by fans, old posts being bumped, or new posts with old content.

The most exciting event for Morning Star fans recently was the short video Lin Xin had posted on Doudou a few days ago, showing the two of them having dinner together.

The short video, lasting only a few seconds, had no interaction or eye contact.

Everything depended entirely on the fans’ own imagination and speculation.

How long had it been since a decent photo had surfaced…?

Now, a CP fan in the Super Topic had actually taken a photo of the Morning Star couple!

In the photo, the sky was blue, and the sea and sky merged into one. Lin Xin and the Little Morning Star stood in front of the pier. One wore an all-black woolen coat, and the other wore a thin, all-white down jacket.

The Little Morning Star’s long hair was simply tied up in the back with a black elastic band, while Lin Xin’s black hair danced in the wind.

They were looking at each other, presumably talking. Lin Xin was slightly on her tiptoes, holding the fried skewer to the Little Morning Star’s mouth.

The Little Morning Star looked down at her. Her expressionless face clearly showed a hint of helplessness.

Relying only on the photo, everyone could almost hear the sound of the waves behind them, the non-existent cries of seagulls, and even the “woo~” sound of the cruise ship returning.

Everything was just a backdrop. A backdrop highlighting how special Lin Xin was in the Little Morning Star’s heart.

【Deceased, do not disturb.】

【Ahhhhhhhh, I’m going to die from blood loss!!!】

【Ahhhhhhh, what kind of fairy-tale love is this!】

【Wuwuwuwu, without the problem of class differences, their love is truly a perfect match.】

【The Little Morning Star’s eyes, I love them so much!】

【Xin Bao is too cute, even standing on her tiptoes.】

【By the way, couldn’t she reach without standing on her tiptoes?】

【Don’t you guys stand on tiptoes when you kiss?】

What? Kiss? What connection is there?

There isn’t, right?

But who cares! If they say it’s a kiss, it’s a kiss! This amazing love is too enviable! I’m crying, wuwuwuwu!

But that wasn’t the end. The CP fan immediately posted a second photo in the comments section.

As if to answer the previous question of whether Ye Linghua ate it or not, the second photo showed Ye Linghua’s slightly parted lips, her pearly teeth gently biting the chicken chunk.

And Lin Xin, delighted that Ye Linghua finally opened her mouth to eat, was leaning closer to Ye Linghua than before. Her expression had also changed from her previous calm demeanor to a beaming smile.

【Ahhhhhhh, I’m bringing the marriage registry to you! Get married, get married immediately!】

【This is fairy-tale love! I beg you, as long as you two are together, I can be single for life!】

【Wow, upstairs, that’s not necessary, right? But I’m willing to lose 10 years of my life for your lifelong happiness! (^o^)/~】

【Kiss already! Is it reasonable not to kiss at this point?】

【So, one of them must be the paragon of virtue, right?】

【I don’t care, you two must be real. If you’re fake, I’ll never believe in love again!!!

All of this was unknown to Lin Xin and Ye Linghua, who were about to board the ship.

However, Lin Xin’s manager, Meng Kelin, had already seen it. Suddenly inspired, she quickly registered a small Weibo account and joined the CP Super Topic.

Xing Yan, who had watched Meng Kelin do all this, also felt inspired, took out her phone, and did the same thing. Of course, having listened to Meng Kelin’s entire story of how she found them, she wasn’t foolish enough to use her main account to join the CP Super Topic.

Meng Kelin was shocked by what Xing Yan was doing and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of Ye Linghua settling the score with you?”

Xing Yan was even more shocked: “What do you mean? Are you going to tell on me?”

Meng Kelin: “No, no, no.”

Xing Yan sighed in relief: “Then don’t worry. She’s just an old-fashioned person. If she could master Weibo, I’d have to give her a commendation banner.”
