After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 58.2

Meng Kelin: “…Why wouldn’t she?”

Xing Yan: “Don’t you guys know?” She looked at Meng Kelin in surprise. “You were by her side for so long, did you ever see her constantly playing with her phone?”

Meng Kelin thought for a moment: “I don’t think so, but wasn’t that because she was working?”

Xing Yan chuckled: “She wasn’t that diligent at work. She just doesn’t like playing with her phone. Her games are those old computer games… But,” Xing Yan ground her teeth, “she learns fast.”

“We played ‘PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ together before. She went from knowing nothing to suppressing me in three matches. That’s just inhuman.”

Ye Fang was also heartbroken: “Exactly! And that chess game! She was terrible at Go, but after learning it, she not only utterly crushed me, but that old man Zhang Kunshan even treats her like a master.”

“Zhang Kunshan?” Meng Kelin was shocked, turning to look at the two with disbelief.

Ye Fang realized she had slipped up and turned to look out the shuttle bus window, seemingly trying to distract herself with the scenery outside.

Meng Kelin then turned to look at the others. The other four sitting nearby all turned their heads away.

Then Xing Yan felt something was off. She turned back and loudly said to Meng Kelin: “You know she’s amazing, right! So, what’s wrong with knowing she knows Old Man Zhang?”

Ye Fang followed up: “That’s right! So, it doesn’t count as me spilling the beans, does it!”

Tang Qiaozi stared at the two darkly: “Oh, please! Huazi doesn’t like taking credit. If she tells you not to talk, you shouldn’t talk. Since you’ve already talked…”

Ye Fang glowered at her: “I haven’t told her yet that you stole her car keys last time and crashed her car!”

Tang Qiaozi: “…”

Meng Kelin finally pieced it together and asked: “So, Old Man Zhang was invited by Ye Linghua?” Now, thinking about it closely, it made sense! At that time, Old Man Zhang played chess with Ye Linghua and spoke those ambiguous words to her. It sounded like they were acquaintances.

Thinking further, if Ye Linghua was the one who helped with Zhang Kunshan…

Then what about the other things?

“The investment in Dusk (黃昏)?” Meng Kelin asked with a hint of doubt.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Shi Tongqi (師通齊). Meng Kelin followed their gaze.

Shi Tongqi looked shocked, realizing she had been sold out just like that.

But she still honestly said: “Regarding investments, I’m just a small player. Ye Linghua was the major backer. I just used my company’s name…”

These facts plunged Meng Kelin into a state of self-doubt. The situation was quite obvious.

All of Lin Xin’s good fortune began after Ye Linghua appeared.

At that time, she already felt that Ye Linghua’s demeanor was noble. Then, she saw Ye Linghua introduce an investor and secure millions in investment. Later, she even knew the boss of a nationwide chain store. This was clearly not an ordinary person!

But she never expected that during Lin Xin’s toughest time, Ye Linghua was the one who pulled them out.

She pulled them from the swamp they were in after leaving Yuntian (雲天), onto the path of success.

But, but, but… how long had Ye Linghua and Lin Xin known each other at that time?

More importantly…

Meng Kelin still looked incredulous. At this moment, she wanted to know: “Why on earth did she pretend to be a housekeeper to interview and work for Lin Xin in the first place?”

The friends exchanged glances, all equally confused, and said: “We want to know that too!”

Meng Kelin’s judgment of people was accurate. Seeing their expressions, she knew they genuinely didn’t know why Ye Linghua did that.

But this friendship, whether they knew why or not, was genuinely there.

Meng Kelin accepted this kindness and was even more grateful that such a powerful person valued them so much.

So, she excitedly picked up her phone and sent a text message to Ye Linghua.

Not long after being unblocked from her blacklist, Ye Linghua received Meng Kelin’s text message.

The wind on the ship was stronger, carrying a biting chill. Standing by the railing, the cold sea wind could freeze one’s face.

Ye Linghua, however, felt the cold was just right—it perfectly suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

But looking at the text message from Meng Kelin, a confused look appeared on her stiff face.

Sister Meng: 【Ye Linghua! Thank you!!!】

Ye Linghua: “…” So, was it a genuine thank you? Or was she angry?

She looked up confusedly at the coast and could easily see the harbor not far away. The giant Ferris wheel stood by the sea, currently stationary as there were no passengers.

Ye Linghua turned to Lin Xin and asked, “Speaking of which, you two were originally going to film Doudou material. So, Sister Meng took the bus, and we took the ship…”

Lin Xin looked at her earnestly, her black hair flying. Occasionally, a strand would stick to her face.

Lin Xin had to pull the hair back and put it behind her. Then, she continued to look up at Ye Linghua with a serious expression, waiting for her to finish her sentence.

Ye Linghua said, “So, is Sister Meng angry?”

Lin Xin: “???” What?

Ye Linghua frowned, looking at the approaching harbor, and sighed, “Not enough material, right?”

Lin Xin tilted her head, looking at her with confusion. She didn’t know why Ye Linghua said Sister Meng was angry or why she suddenly looked so sad.

However, regarding the lack of Doudou material, Lin Xin knew about that.

She took out her phone, switched to the camera, raised it, and said, “We can take pictures of ourselves and send them to her. That can be Doudou material too.”

She moved closer to Ye Linghua. The sudden closeness transmitted their body heat to each other. Their hair intertwined, and she could smell Ye Linghua’s scent.

Lin Xin leaned into Ye Linghua’s neck, smiled, and flashed a peace sign at her chest. Ye Linghua slightly lowered her head, saw her gesture, and couldn’t help but smile.

Lin Xin pressed the shutter button. Click.

The phone captured the beautiful moment: on the rocking ship, she was smiling, and Ye Linghua was watching her.

Then, Lin Xin sent the picture to Meng Kelin and comforted her on Ye Linghua’s behalf: 【Don’t be angry!】

Meng Kelin, upon receiving the message: “???”

Although one group took the boat and the other took the shuttle, the boat wasn’t much slower.

By the time Meng Kelin and the others collected their tickets, Ye Linghua and Lin Xin were already inside the park.

At this point, it was less than half an hour until the Ocean Park officially opened.

Tang Qiaozi skillfully led them to the Dinosaur Monster Roller Coaster: “This is the most popular ride in the entire park, and it’s close to the entrance. It’s common to wait 5 or 6 hours in line. Before the main crowds arrive, let’s ride the roller coaster first!”

No one objected. Since they were all hotel guests, the few of them didn’t have to queue up. They took their tickets and headed straight for the mountain.

They soon walked through a cave in an artificial mountain to the starting point, arriving at a rushing creek. A boat with 8 seats was waiting, and staff members stood by the edge.

They were first helped into life jackets, then ushered to their seats, and had their safety bars secured. Then, their boat was launched…

Lin Xin and Ye Linghua sat in the last row. Lin Xin excitedly gripped the safety bar, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Linghua.

Ye Linghua couldn’t help but soften her expression and asked, “Do you like riding this?”

Lin Xin gave a brilliant smile. The roller coaster’s starting point was inside the cave, with only dim lighting illuminating the environment.

Lin Xin’s smile looked even brighter under the lights.

“Mm,” she said, then complained without thinking: “Sister Meng never let me ride this before.”

Meng Kelin, sitting two rows ahead, craned her neck and shouted back: “I didn’t let you ride it because you were still young!!! And you were a famous celebrity back then. If I wasn’t with you, who would ride with you? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

After the roller coaster passed the flat section, it immediately plunged in a vertical drop. Meng Kelin’s scream perfectly kicked off the journey.

Lin Xin had no habit of screaming. As the roller coaster plunged, she just tightly closed her eyes.

A short, sharp scream was quickly swallowed.

Lin Xin rarely went on such thrilling rides. When she was young, her parents weren’t around, and her grandmother was old. After age 8, the person she spent the most time with was Meng Kelin.

At that time, Meng Kelin couldn’t only focus on Lin Xin. She had several stars she had to manage. Back then, Lin Xin wasn’t famous, and Meng Kelin didn’t have any major stars under her belt. Meng Kelin’s work was plentiful and varied, so she couldn’t take Lin Xin to amusement parks.

Later, Lin Xin grew up. Although she became very famous and moved onto the big screen, she still had to maintain her image.

Her fame prevented her from freely playing in crowds like this, not to mention thrilling rides that might make her reveal strange expressions.

In short, she rarely engaged in such activities.

And yet, sitting on this roller coaster, because Ye Linghua was beside her, she suddenly let go…

During the rapid movement, Lin Xin felt like she was being thrown into the air, with nowhere to find stability.

Her heart pounded faster and faster. Just as she was about to gasp for breath, she suddenly felt a warmth on the back of her left hand.

Lin Xin froze and opened her eyes. In the face of the strong, oncoming wind, she turned to look at Ye Linghua beside her.

Ye Linghua held her hand, looked at her, and said, “Don’t be afraid.”

Behind her was the blue sky and white clouds, and the earth’s gravity was pulling them down.

Lin Xin smiled and nodded: “Okay.”

The friends in front shouted: “We’re on a roller coaster!!! Stop showing off your affection!!!”

The roller coaster went through its course and finally returned.

It slowly stopped at the starting point. Some tourists in front had wobbly legs. Ye Linghua was helped by a staff member. Everyone, trying to save face, climbed out.

Lin Xin, surprisingly, was fine. She stood by the boat, full of energy.

She looked at Meng Kelin and said, “Sister Meng, do you have a fear of heights?”

Meng Kelin glared at her: “Why are you boasting!” You just forgot your fear because you were too busy falling in love.

Lin Xin turned to look at Ye Linghua, only to see her already turning to walk away.

Lin Xin immediately pursed her lips, knowing this was still a sign that they hadn’t reconciled. She couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: How can I get her to turn back?

She’s clearly so good and gentle to me.

But no matter how gentle she is beforehand, or how much she does, she always turns and leaves ruthlessly afterward.

In a fit of pique, Lin Xin took out her phone and posted the photo they took on the ship to Weibo.

Lin Xin V: 【We went out to play today! {Photo}】

Her sudden Weibo update was immediately supported by her fans.

【Ahhhhhhh, Xin Bao updated Weibo!】

【Where did Xin Bao go to play?】

【Huh? Is that the former assistant?】

【She really has a scar! Damn private-life followers!】

【Didn’t she resign?】

A group of CP fans rushed over upon hearing the news, followed by anti-fans and rival fandom fans…

【The principals are giving us sweetness themselves! I can die without regret.】

【How is this any different from officially announcing?】

【Xin Bao, tell us, are you two together?】

【Tsk, she has to post on Weibo even when she goes out to play.】

【She can’t help it! She doesn’t have a job!】

【That’s right! Unlike my idol, who’s too busy to play.】

【Damn, this angle is so ugly.】

The comments section slowly became lively. Meng Kelin and Ye Linghua’s friends were also looking at Lin Xin’s new Weibo, sighing with admiration.

“What are you doing?” Ye Linghua’s voice came from the front.

Lin Xin was startled and quickly put her phone away, looking up at Ye Linghua ahead. Ye Linghua stood at the cave entrance, facing sideways, looking back at her.

Lin Xin quickly hid her phone behind her back and shook her head, saying, “Nothing!”

Ye Linghua frowned and glanced at the others behind her. Both Meng Kelin and her friends were also hiding their hands behind their backs in a synchronized manner, as if concealing something.

But not seeing anything obvious for the time being, Ye Linghua stopped paying attention to them. She turned back to Lin Xin and asked, “What else do you want to ride?” Then she turned and led the way out of the cave, saying, “Let’s go!”

Lin Xin smiled, ran up to her side, and they walked toward the exit together. Outside the cave, it was bright, and the two walked away hand-in-hand…

Meng Kelin and Ye Linghua’s close friends all took out their phones and snapped pictures. Click, click, click.

Then, the group expertly jumped onto the Super Topic…

The Morning Star Super Topic was as lively as a festival today. Because CP fans were constantly running into the two in the Ocean Park, photos of them kept popping up.

From their appearance in the park, their disembarking from the ship, their queuing for the roller coaster, and so on!

And now, a few new CP fans in the Super Topic simultaneously posted a new photo.

Ye Linghua stood at a cave entrance, the outside bathed in white light. Lin Xin ran toward her from the dark depths of the cave, smiling.

She is waiting for her.
