Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 110.1

Chapter 110.1: Unrestrained

The moment Jing Xiaoyan petulantly reached out to close the door, Jiang Yumian quickly squeezed inside, weakly complaining that she wasn’t afraid of catching her head, though she didn’t dare to truly complain.

After entering, Jiang Yumian kicked the door shut with her foot, then pouted and blinked innocently at Jing Xiaoyan.

Jing Xiaoyan had already taken off her sunglasses and mask when Lin Xi left. Just looking at this vulnerable face, Jiang Yumian felt her confidence dwindle.

Jing Xiaoyan let out a soft “humph” and turned to walk further into the room.

“Hey!”

Jiang Yumian quickly grabbed her arm, took two steps forward, and pulled her close. “I was wrong. Come back with me, okay?”

She quickly moved in front of Jing Xiaoyan, reached out her arms to hug her, preventing her from walking further inside. She looked up and pleaded sweetly, “Don’t you want to sleep with me? I haven’t slept with you for days. Please sleep with me. Can we go back to our room?”

Jiang Yumian rubbed her face against Jing Xiaoyan’s. She knew Jing Xiaoyan had run out on purpose, just waiting for her to chase and coax her.

It was her fault for coaxing too late, which made her angry enough to run out.

Jing Xiaoyan stood still, turning her head to the side, deliberately not looking at her.

“Oh, don’t be angry. Let’s go back first. I’ll blow-dry your hair when we get back. It’s cold, and you’ll catch a cold if you don’t dry it.” Jiang Yumian said while rubbing her face against Jing Xiaoyan’s. She kissed her face several times and didn’t feel any resistance, so Jiang Yumian breathed a sigh of relief. She was probably halfway coaxed.

She licked her lips. “Wife~”

The corner of Jing Xiaoyan’s mouth curved up subtly, but she quickly pressed her lips together, hiding it from Jiang Yumian.

Whenever Jiang Yumian felt guilty and wanted to coax her, she would call her ‘Wife.’ When she needed something, it was ‘Jiejie,’ and when everything was fine, it was ‘Jing Xiaoyan.’

She understood it all, but there was nothing she could do, because it all worked on her.

“Wife, let’s go back. I can’t sleep without hugging you. Please take pity on me, be merciful.”

Jiang Yumian cupped Jing Xiaoyan’s face, gently holding it so they met eyes. Her eyes were bright, and she complimented her sweetly, “So beautiful, truly stunning.”

Jing Xiaoyan subtly swallowed, deliberately frowning and blinking.

Under Jiang Yumian’s pitiful expression, she let out a “humph” to express her dissatisfaction.

“Don’t be angry for now. Let’s go back first. Don’t stay here. Give me some face, okay?”

Jiang Yumian kissed her face many times again. Jing Xiaoyan let out another soft “humph.”

Jiang Yumian actually wanted to say that Jing Xiaoyan should give her some face. When Lin Xi thought about it a little more, she would probably guess why they were only showering at this hour.

Sigh…

Jiang Yumian pulled herself back to the present, tightening her embrace around Jing Xiaoyan. “Then I’ll carry you back now, okay? We’ll talk more when we get back.”

Jing Xiaoyan didn’t say anything, which was tacit consent.

Not giving her a chance to speak, Jiang Yumian went straight to open the door, then scooped her up in a bridal carry. Actually, her arms were heavy and strained right now, making it a bit difficult to carry her, but the two rooms weren’t far apart. She gritted her teeth and carried her over.

She put Jing Xiaoyan down at the door without changing her expression.

“You go in first. I’ll go close Lin Xi’s door and tell her to go back.”

She used the room card to open the door, wanting to watch Jing Xiaoyan go in before leaving, but Jing Xiaoyan wouldn’t move, being stubborn again.

The two stood in a deadlock for a few seconds. Jing Xiaoyan crossed her arms, turning her head away from Jiang Yumian. In the end, Jiang Yumian was the first to compromise.

“Then wait for me here. I’ll be right back after closing the door.”

She closed Lin Xi’s door. When she returned, Jing Xiaoyan was indeed still standing at the doorway, stubbornly waiting for her return.

Jiang Yumian reached out to hug her, sighing softly, and said helplessly, “Fine, I’ll carry you in.”

She carried Jing Xiaoyan to the sofa and set her down. Jiang Yumian went back to the bathroom to wrap up her hair and then grabbed a hairdryer.

The warm air intentionally or unintentionally blew onto Jing Xiaoyan’s face.

The loud whirring sound was above her head. Jing Xiaoyan blinked, then closed her eyes, feeling Jiang Yumian deliberately blowing air onto her face. She lowered her head, constantly staring at Jiang Yumian’s feet. She kicked off her own slippers and deliberately kicked Jiang Yumian’s calf in a sporadic manner.

Jiang Yumian looked down at her, smiling. The hand in her hair moved forward, pinching Jing Xiaoyan’s face, then returning to gently lift her hair and blow-dry it again.

Having made her presence known and received a response, Jing Xiaoyan slowly blinked, clenched her fist, and lightly thumped Jiang Yumian’s leg twice.

The hand that hadn’t been retracted was quickly caught. Jiang Yumian pulled her hand behind her, letting Jing Xiaoyan hug her leg.

Given such an opportunity to back down, Jing Xiaoyan stopped being stubborn and quickly complied. She pressed her face against Jiang Yumian’s thigh, biting gently through the slightly thick bathrobe.

Jiang Yumian turned off the hairdryer in her hand and patted her head with the other. “Don’t bite everything. It’s dirty.”

Jing Xiaoyan looked up at her, her eyes full of defiance, but before she could speak, the whirring sound of the hairdryer started again above her head.

Jiang Yumian looked down at her, deliberately raising an eyebrow.

Jing Xiaoyan tightened the arm around her leg and shook her head. “No more blowing.”

It was almost dry.

“No, you have to lie down in bed after it’s completely dry. It’ll be quick.” Jiang Yumian didn’t indulge her. After saying that, she turned the hairdryer back on, grabbing Jing Xiaoyan’s hair to continue drying.

Jing Xiaoyan tilted her head back, glancing at the wrapped hair on her head, and quickly lowered her head again. She should just get it done quickly.

She was tired and sleepy. Her forehead rested against Jiang Yumian’s thigh. Occasional warm air blew into the back of her neck. She closed her eyes comfortably, ready to sleep.

After drying Jing Xiaoyan’s hair, Jiang Yumian changed the bedsheet.

She had three new bedsheets in her suitcase. Having learned from her last experience, she decided to always bring her own sheets when staying in hotels. She brought three this time just in case…

She carried Jing Xiaoyan, who was almost asleep on the sofa, back to bed. Afraid of waking her, Jiang Yumian returned to the bathroom to blow-dry her own hair, trying to be as quiet as possible.

Thinking of the person lying in bed, Jiang Yumian took a deep breath. Jing Xiaoyan provoking her was truly like punching cotton.

Jiang Yumian couldn’t help but smile. It was clearly Jing Xiaoyan who was asking for her forgiveness.

But she did admit she might have been a bit excessive.

Coming out of the bathroom, Jiang Yumian rummaged through her suitcase and found the ointment she had originally prepared for herself.

Jing Xiaoyan, half-asleep, felt the quilt being pulled away from her, and the sensation between her legs instantly woke her up.

Sensing her movement, Jiang Yumian patted her leg, her voice gentle. “Apply the ointment. You’ll feel better tomorrow.”

Even though her mind was blank, Jing Xiaoyan instantly understood what she meant. She lay still, and when Jiang Yumian patted her leg again, she struggled internally for a few seconds before slightly opening her legs. It was indeed uncomfortable.

Seeing Jiang Yumian lower her head and focus, Jing Xiaoyan quickly closed her eyes, turning her head away in embarrassment. Her hand, unsure where to go, rose, and her forearm covered her eyes, her ears burning hot.

Clearly feeling Jiang Yumian’s gaze and actions, Jing Xiaoyan felt only shame. She was wildly thinking that next time, she would make Jiang Yumian cry too.

Observing Jing Xiaoyan’s reaction from the corner of her eye, a smile touched Jiang Yumian’s eyes. After diligently applying the ointment, she withdrew her hand. She placed the medicine on the bedside table, bent down, and kissed Jing Xiaoyan’s face. “I’ll go wash the medicine off my hands and be right back.”

Hearing Jiang Yumian leave, Jing Xiaoyan took a deep breath, put down the hand covering her eyes, and let out a soft “humph.” She was completely embarrassed again today.

When Jiang Yumian returned, Jing Xiaoyan was already lying down and covered with the quilt.

“Hurry up and get in,” Jing Xiaoyan’s voice was soft and gentle. She didn’t even bother to open her eyes. She was completely exhausted, her lower abdomen sore, and she had no energy left.

“Okay.” Jiang Yumian took off her bathrobe and climbed into bed, lying on her other side. But as soon as she lay down, she instantly jumped up again. “Oh no!”

Jing Xiaoyan struggled to open her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

“I forgot to text Lin Xi to tell her to go back.” Jiang Yumian said while grabbing her phone from the bedside table. It had been over half an hour.

Thinking of Lin Xi being with Luo Cheng, she hesitated for a moment before texting. She lay down with her phone, facing Jing Xiaoyan, and whispered gossipy, “Jiejie, do you think Sister Lin Xi and Chengcheng have a chance?”

She had been shipping them from the start, but because of Jing Xiaoyan, she had forgotten to check on their status.

Jing Xiaoyan’s tired eyes blinked, then closed. She said lazily, “No chance. Lin Xi is different from us.”

She then reminded her, “You should tell her to go back to her own room.”

Actually, she had only run out in a fit of pique. Going to Lin Xi’s room was because she guessed Lin Xi was awake and that Jiang Yumian would only look for her there. Other than Chu Qianyuan and her partner, she was only close to Lin Xi. She wasn’t very familiar with Luo Cheng, so of course, Jiang Yumian wouldn’t look for her there.

She also took the opportunity to show some public affection in front of Lin Xi.

Jiang Yumian’s hand holding the phone froze. She stared at Jing Xiaoyan, her voice unconsciously rising a little. “Are you saying she doesn’t actually like girls?”

Jing Xiaoyan was silent for two seconds. “Mhm, that’s right.”

Jiang Yumian couldn’t believe her ears and was dumbfounded. So she had misunderstood them for months?

“But that day I asked if the other four were like us, all fully aware, and didn’t Sister Yunyun say yes?”

Jing Xiaoyan closed her eyes and pondered, unable to recall the day Jiang Yumian was talking about. But when it came to the other four, she nodded. “Yeah, the other four all have transparent backgrounds, they know each other, and it’s not easy for things to go wrong.”

Jiang Yumian was full of question marks! So…!

“So they’re all straight!?”

Jing Xiaoyan reached out and randomly swatted at Jiang Yumian, her palm landing precisely on her face, a little irritated. “I don’t know about them. I’m so tired. Let’s sleep…”

The two boys weren’t important, but knowing that she had misunderstood both Lin Xi and Luo Cheng made Jiang Yumian’s heart sink. She had been so optimistic about those two.

“There’s really no chance for Sister Lin Xi and Chengcheng…” She asked again, clinging to a glimmer of hope.

But the result was already quite obvious. There were fewer people online shipping Lin Xi and Luo Cheng than those shipping Lin Xi and herself. Jiang Yumian felt down. Everyone else’s CPs were real, but the one she shipped was fake…

Jing Xiaoyan took a deep breath. “Lin Xi doesn’t like men either. She’s against marriage. If you absolutely have to assign her a sexual orientation, then she’s like you. Her sexual orientation is money.”

After saying that, she pulled the quilt over her head, making it clear that she wanted to sleep!

Jiang Yumian: “…”

She blinked at Jing Xiaoyan. She hadn’t expected Jing Xiaoyan to remember that phrase she used to trick her.

She texted Lin Xi, telling her she could go back, and then turned off the light. As soon as she lay down, Jing Xiaoyan actively snuck into her arms.

Jiang Yumian hugged her and couldn’t help but lean in to kiss her again. When the kissing made Jing Xiaoyan impatient, she opened her mouth and bit her tongue.

“Ouch!” Jiang Yumian retracted her tongue in pain, pulling her head back a bit.

After nursing her wound alone for a few seconds, Jiang Yumian finally stopped bothering Jing Xiaoyan’s sleep.

The next morning, the phone alarm rang. Jing Xiaoyan forced herself to turn off the alarm and snuggled back into the quilt.

She had slept for over eight hours, which was enough sleep, but she still wasn’t fully awake. Her back and waist ached. Jiang Yumian wasn’t even woken up by the alarm.

Jing Xiaoyan went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out after washing up, she found that Jiang Yumian was awake and looking for something by the bedside. She walked closer and realized she was holding the ointment.

She instinctively took a step back. The scene from last night quickly flashed through her mind. She immediately closed her eyes. It was only because she wasn’t careful that Jiang Yumian ambushed her last night. There was absolutely no way she would let her do it again today!

“Are you done showering? Come here and let me put on the ointment.” Jiang Yumian looked drowsy, as if she wasn’t fully awake yet, but the first thing she thought of was applying the ointment for Jing Xiaoyan.

Jing Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, her cheeks slightly flushed. She quickly snatched the ointment from her hand. “No need. I don’t need it. Go wash up quickly.”

Jiang Yumian rubbed her eyes. “But…”

Her words were quickly interrupted by Jing Xiaoyan.

Jing Xiaoyan threw the ointment onto the bedside table. “Keep this for yourself tonight!”

Then, she pulled the quilt over Jiang Yumian’s head, cutting off her vision. If she didn’t make Jiang Yumian cry today, she wouldn’t be surnamed Jing!

Wrapped in the warmth of the quilt, Jiang Yumian simply lay down, feeling confused. She finally realized why Jing Xiaoyan was acting this way. Oh, right… why be shy? They had done it so many times already.

When Jiang Yumian finished washing up, the two changed clothes and went out. They were going to eat breakfast now, and then get their makeup done later. The filming schedule wasn’t very tight this time. Everyone’s schedules had been adjusted. As long as they could finish shooting the content, there was no rush.

When Jiang Yumian and Jing Xiaoyan arrived, everyone else was already eating.

Lin Xi bit into her toast, her eyes full of teasing as she looked at them, a mischievous smile on her face. Even Luo Cheng’s gaze towards them wasn’t innocent. With the commotion Jing Xiaoyan made, they had analyzed it last night and pretty much guessed everything.

Jing Xiaoyan chose to sit on the outermost seat rather than next to Lin Xi, because she now knew she was embarrassed.

There were only two seats, so Jiang Yumian had to sit next to Lin Xi. She also felt a little uncomfortable, being stared at by Lin Xi’s gossipy eyes, feeling like she was being burned a hole through.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yumian took a sip of milk, Lin Xi leaned over to whisper to her.

“You two yesterday, who was the top and who was the bottom?” Lin Xi’s curious tone was full of excitement. She didn’t care about Jiang Yumian’s feelings, directly asking the question.

Jiang Yumian swallowed the milk in her mouth. Luckily she hadn’t drunk it yet, or she might have choked.

She pretended to be clueless, turning her head, her eyes blank. “What are you talking about?”

But meeting Lin Xi’s “I know everything” expression, Jiang Yumian felt guilty and didn’t dare to look at her again.

Lin Xi leaned closer, whispering, “I know everything. Jing Xiaoyan is actually the ‘Pillow Princess.’ Did she cry yesterday? She’s so delicate…”

Jiang Yumian bit her lip, coughing awkwardly, and finally spoke. “You’re overthinking it. She was just scolded by me yesterday.”

Not wanting others to imagine what Jing Xiaoyan was like, Jiang Yumian turned to Lin Xi, actively leaning in, looking mysterious, and softly added, “And you got it backward.”

After saying that, she sat up straight and began to eat her breakfast seriously, looking completely unbazed. Lin Xi saw this and believed her.

So Jiang Yumian was the Pillow Princess?

Jiang Yumian calmly ate her breakfast, turning to give Jing Xiaoyan a reassuring look. She still had to save her wife some face.

She had already noticed Jing Xiaoyan was distracted, constantly glancing at her and Lin Xi, wanting to ask something but not daring to.

She brought this upon herself. Now she knew she regretted it, and Jiang Yumian had to cover for her.

However, Lin Xi was indeed wrong. They didn’t have a fixed top or bottom. It was all based on skill. It was just that Jing Xiaoyan was prone to crying sometimes.

After comforting Jing Xiaoyan, Jiang Yumian suddenly turned to Lin Xi, scrutinizing her carefully, making Lin Xi feel uneasy.

“What are you doing?”

Jiang Yumian didn’t speak. She quickly looked at Luo Cheng, inspecting her with the same impolite gaze. Luo Cheng blinked, feeling a little guilty. Why was Jiang Yumian looking at her! She was only thinking it in her head, and hadn’t said anything yet!

“Nothing. I just think you two look quite compatible. Why don’t you two go on a blind date and consider it?” Jiang Yumian suggested very seriously. She wasn’t joking.

Chu Qianyuan couldn’t help but look up when she heard Jiang Yumian’s words, seriously sizing up Lin Xi and Luo Cheng.

Lin Xi only thought Jiang Yumian was deliberately teasing her. She rolled her eyes, too lazy to respond to her.

Luo Cheng’s mouth twitched. “I’m not like you. Besides, I’m only twenty-three. Why would I go on a blind date? Am I asking for trouble!”

She couldn’t help but retort, “Those who urge others to go on blind dates will be struck by lightning.”

Su Mumu couldn’t hold back her laughter and chimed in, “Exactly, those who urge others to get married will be struck by lightning.”

Jiang Yumian quickly interjected, “Stop! I was just shipping a CP. I thought Sister Lin Xi and Chengcheng were a couple.”

Xie Yunhuan looked left and right, carefully observing. There were no cameras here, just a few staff members, so he felt safe to speak. “Compared to dating herself, Sister Lin Xi is more enthusiastic about watching others date.” She had even tried to encourage him to date before. He was an idol, and she really had the nerve to say that.

“Just give up,” Jing Xiaoyan patted Jiang Yumian’s lower back, sighing softly. She had told her already. Now did she believe her?

Jiang Yumian sighed dramatically, “My shipped CP is fake!”

The people around couldn’t help but laugh. What kind of variety show guest spends every day shipping CPs?

Lin Xi snorted. “Still worrying about me? You should hurry up and check online. Netizens are ready to bring the Marriage Registry to you and Jing Xiaoyan.”

Reminded by her, Jiang Yumian paused, thinking of what happened yesterday afternoon, and quickly opened her phone.

The news from yesterday spread so fast. However, it was only in the middle of the trending topics. It wasn’t as high up as before. Since netizens had been shipping them for so long, it wasn’t as fresh anymore, naturally different from when it first started.

Jiang Yumian switched to her secondary Weibo account and checked the fan community. The signatures from the two of them were already trending there.

Su Yao was truly efficient.

The most talked-about topics were the couple scarves made by their CP fans and their signatures, which fans saw as their subtle response. Many marketing accounts were also fueling the trend.

Jiang Yumian picked up the milk next to her and took a sip to calm herself down. Then she clicked on Jing Xiaoyan’s fan community, wanting to see her fans’ reactions.

A head leaned onto her shoulder. Jiang Yumian turned to look at Jing Xiaoyan, but before she could speak, her phone was snatched away.

“Hurry up and eat. Stop looking at your phone.”

Jing Xiaoyan tucked her phone into her other pocket and said casually, “It’s nothing. They’re just happy shipping us. Isn’t that normal?”

She had actually been looking at her phone earlier. Her fans hadn’t shown any extreme reactions.

It was just that her fan account posted a combined photo of herself and Jiang Yumian along with her personal candid shots, which looked quite intimate. However, they later added photos of others to cover up.

Even though there were photos of others, some fans in the comments were still dissatisfied since it was a personal fan community. However, they weren’t explicitly dissatisfied with just Jiang Yumian. Instead, they criticized everyone else in the photos one by one, with Jiang Yumian receiving the most severe criticism.

Jing Xiaoyan pretended nothing was wrong, but she still felt something was off. She was quite aware of what her fans were like. And there would be a few big fans controlling the comments to prevent irrational behavior. Sister Guan had also told her about this.

Previously, fan accounts had posted photos of her with other people, and nothing happened. This time, they actually criticized everyone around her, as if trying to cause her trouble and generate hate.

After breakfast, they went to get their makeup done. Jing Xiaoyan took out her phone again to check. The previous comments were already gone, controlled by the fans.
