After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 85

In truth, before confirming her relationship with Lin Xin, Ye Linghua had never considered having a partner. Both before and after transmigrating, she had always been focused on working hard, earning money, and then living a comfortable, retired life.

She never had much interest in finding someone to form a family with.

Consequently, she had never delved into romantic or sexual matters, nor had she researched them.

It wasn’t until she confirmed her feelings for Lin Xin that she first started looking up things related to being in a relationship.

Since the object of her fantasy was Lin Xin and she felt love for her, it was natural for her to feel excited and impassioned.

So, she had fantasized about a situation like the current one, and about leaving traces of their presence throughout their new home.

Ye Linghua didn’t think she was a rock, incapable of feeling emotion no matter how much she was provoked.

After all, “wood” or “iron tree” were just self-deprecating jokes. In reality, she was still a person. And a person, of course, has emotions and desires—wasn’t that just natural?

Lin Xin’s forwardness made Ye Linghua happy, excited, and unable to restrain herself.

But… she couldn’t lose control.

At least, absolutely not now, in front of the camera, and in front of a future audience.

Ye Linghua closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and asked, “Are you taking a nap?”

“Hehe…” Lin Xin giggled. “Yes!”

Ye Linghua: “…”

Lin Xin beckoned to her. “Come! Sleep together!”

Her tender hand, seemingly boneless, combined with her inherently alluring looks and the low-cut red slip, which was half-concealed, made one want to investigate further.

Ye Linghua sucked in a cold breath, thinking, Forget it, I’ll give her what she wants.

Then, she reconsidered. Meng Kelin and the production team most likely only agreed not to air the footage prematurely. It didn’t mean they wouldn’t air the confession footage later.

Having gone through the talk show, Ye Linghua understood clearly that ratings were paramount to the production team.

Therefore, Lin Xin could rush forward recklessly because she was in love, but Ye Linghua had to be the cotton padding that cushioned her collision. Otherwise, both of them would end up battered.

With this thought, Ye Linghua could calmly ask her, “Aren’t you cold?”

It was only mid-April. In this coastal city, winter had just passed, and spring had only arrived a few days ago. Since the start of filming, everyone had been wearing thin spring clothes, and only needed a light blanket for sleep.

For Lin Xin to be wearing a slip dress like that, she must be a little cold.

Lin Xin’s seductive smile froze. She sat up abruptly, glaring at Ye Linghua. “Blockhead!”

Ye Linghua chuckled, walked over, sat down next to Lin Xin, took a jacket, draped it over her, and teased, “Am I the blockhead that you like?”

Lin Xin was stunned. She glared at her. “You…”

However, this woman not only showed no remorse but also flashed her a radiant, beautiful, and alluring smile.

Lin Xin’s tongue twisted, and she said, “Yes, I do.”

Such a candid, straightforward person, who was both heartwarming and pitiable. The thought of her confessions being repeatedly rejected by the person she loved, and never receiving a response, made Ye Linghua’s heart ache uncontrollably.

She pulled Lin Xin into her embrace and gently patted her back, saying, “What a coincidence, me too.”

Lin Xin giggled and rubbed against Ye Linghua’s chest, saying, “Now I’m not cold at all. I’m actually a little warm.”

Ye Linghua chuckled softly, smelling the familiar clean fragrance of Lin Xin’s hair, which circled her like a captivating lure.

As if tempted, she lowered her head and kissed the top of Lin Xin’s head. Ye Linghua nodded in agreement, without a hint of principle. “It is a little warm.”

The words were spoken softly, but they exploded in Lin Xin’s ears.

She had filmed seductive scenes before, even with unfamiliar colleagues, without blushing or her heart racing from skin-to-skin contact.

Yet, a simple sentence from Ye Linghua made her blush deeply. Even though she was the one wearing the sexy sleepwear, lying on the bed, and actively tempting her, all to seek reassurance through physical contact.

Ye Linghua’s simple words made her heart pound like a drum.

And Ye Linghua, who had seemed like a “blockhead,” suddenly seemed to have caught on.

She leaned down, her breath warming Lin Xin’s ear. The tingling sensation, following the curve of her ear, shot straight to her head.

The intimate posture meant Lin Xin barely heard what Ye Linghua said.

She reached up to rub her ear, but Ye Linghua caught her hand. Ye Linghua chuckled softly. “Your heart is beating so fast.”

Boom. Lin Xin felt something explode in her ears, and she was so embarrassed she wanted to hide.

Then, she heard Ye Linghua say, “It’s beating just as fast as mine.”

Lin Xin was surprised. She looked up at Ye Linghua, whose deep eyes met hers. Ye Linghua suggested, “Do you want to listen?”

Lin Xin blinked her large eyes. Although she didn’t answer verbally, her head obediently leaned in, and she listened carefully.

It was exactly as Ye Linghua said—this was a mutual relationship. So, she wasn’t the only one who felt shy, and she wasn’t the only one whose hands trembled from nervousness.

Ye Linghua was generally steady and almost never displayed any loss of composure in front of others, but that didn’t mean she was truly unaffected.

At least, this strong heartbeat couldn’t lie.

Thump, thump, thump.

It beat powerfully, as if pulsing against her eardrum, sounding like the most beautiful music in the world.

It resonated deeply within her soul.

Lin Xin looked up at Ye Linghua with her dark eyes and whispered, “Are you nervous too?”

Ye Linghua lowered her head and kissed the corner of Lin Xin’s lips, answering her with action.

Their sweet saliva mingled on their lips, their tongues touching and trembling slightly in response to each other.

When they parted, Lin Xin’s eyes were hazy, as if she was unsatisfied.

Ye Linghua then answered her: “Very nervous.”

The feeling of nervousness only occurs when facing the person you love; it was only natural.

Ye Linghua was no calmer than Lin Xin.

Roommates, Lovers, and Dinner Prep

A seagull called outside the window, rousing the two embracing figures on the bed.

The single bed was already small, and with two people, it was inevitably crowded. When Lin Xin opened her eyes, she saw Ye Linghua’s eyelashes fluttering close to her face, indicating she was about to wake up.

Sure enough, Ye Linghua opened her eyes a moment later, staring blankly at Lin Xin.

The breeze was gentle outside the window. The sun had moved from the center of the sky to the horizon over the sea. The water was shimmering, and many fishing boats were on their way back.

Ye Linghua looked at Lin Xin, who was still staring at her. She smiled drowsily and asked, “Why are you spaced out?”

Lin Xin whispered, “I suddenly feel like this is all unreal!”

Ye Linghua asked curiously, “Why do you say that?”

Lin Xin scratched her head. “Before, you used to call me ‘Miss Lin.’ It was so cold, so heartless.”

Ye Linghua: “…” Wait, is this settling old scores?

Lin Xin’s voice held a touch of grievance. “I knew it was my fault then, but I was still so sad. Luckily, I didn’t give up. I chased you for so long, and you kept refusing me.”

Ye Linghua: “…”

Lin Xin: “I never thought that now, we would actually confirm our relationship! Hehe.”

Ye Linghua: “…”

Lin Xin didn’t get a response from Ye Linghua and asked curiously, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Ye Linghua: “I don’t dare to. I’m afraid if one word isn’t to your liking, I’ll be scolded.”

Lin Xin squinted at her. “…I’m not that fierce.”

After she spoke, Ye Linghua burst into laughter. Lin Xin realized she had been teased. Seeing Ye Linghua laugh so happily, Lin Xin finally couldn’t help but laugh along with her.

The two welcomed the evening with joyful laughter in the room.

Qu Hejing’s voice suddenly came from outside the bedroom door: “What are you two laughing about in there? Are you up yet?”

Lin Xin quickly sat up and shouted, “We’re up!”

Qu Hejing said, “If you’re up, come out! Tonight, we’re making dinner for the seniors.”

Although this wasn’t requested by the production team, Qu Hejing’s suggestion was in line with social courtesy, and Lin Xin didn’t find it inappropriate. She quickly got up and said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Having gotten out of bed, she realized she was still wearing the red silk slip dress from the afternoon. The chest area was exposed, and the hem only reached her thighs. It was clearly inappropriate to open the door like this.

She hurriedly searched the wardrobe for clothes, took off the sleepwear, and changed into a white T-shirt and brown wide-leg trousers before going to open the door.

Qu Hejing smiled and said, “It took you so long to open the door… Oh, whose clothes are you wearing? They don’t seem to fit you well!”

Lin Xin was stunned. She looked down and gasped.

This shirt, this shirt was Ye Linghua’s.

Both she and Ye Linghua had a white T-shirt, but she had been in too much of a rush to notice. Lin Xin wanted to curse herself but was speechless for a moment.

Ye Linghua, who was still on the bed, heard this and said with a laugh, “She didn’t bring enough clothes, and my figure is quite similar to hers.”

As she spoke, Ye Linghua got up and walked to Lin Xin’s side, standing just half a head taller than her.

Qu Hejing wasn’t convinced. She trusted her intuition, but since they weren’t too close, she couldn’t ask directly.

Therefore, Qu Hejing acted as if she believed the explanation and said, “Let’s talk about the menu for tonight.”

Lin Xin volunteered, “I can cook.”

Qu Hejing: “That’s wonderful! Zheng Lanwen and Zhuo Yaxin have already bought the ingredients and are downstairs processing them.”

Hearing the name Zheng Lanwen, Lin Xin felt no discomfort and simply nodded, saying, “Great, I’ll go down and see what ingredients we have.”

Ye Linghua followed. “Together.”

Qu Hejing also followed them. When they arrived downstairs, Zhuo Yaxin was struggling to process a large fish. The scales were big and tough, and difficult to remove. Moreover, the fish was still thrashing, and Zhuo Yaxin couldn’t hold it down, retreating and yelping.

Zheng Lanwen, standing nearby, couldn’t watch anymore. She quickly brought a knife down, cleanly separating the fish head from the body.

Zhuo Yaxin gasped and stared at Zheng Lanwen in shock.

Zheng Lanwen was trying to suppress her anger, but for the sake of the camera, she forced a smile and said, “I’ll handle this fish.”

No sooner had she spoken than she saw Lin Xin arrive. Zheng Lanwen was startled, and her hand, holding the knife, instinctively moved to chop down without looking.

Fortunately, Zhuo Yaxin noticed in time and grabbed her hand, or Zheng Lanwen would have definitely cut off a finger.

Due to this close call, Qu Hejing was also alarmed and asked Zheng Lanwen to take a rest.

Zheng Lanwen, not wanting to see Ye Linghua and Lin Xin, took the opportunity to leave and return to her room.

In the kitchen, Lin Xin took the lead, with Ye Linghua helping with the prep work.

As the blazing sun set and night approached, a table full of rich and delicious dishes was finally ready.
