Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 61
Chapter 61: Jealous
Jiang Yumian turned her back and sighed silently. Why was Jing Xiaoyan so different from her dear Sister?
The contrast was too stark…
Jing Xiaoyan didn’t get too close to Jiang Yumian, as she was covered in cold air. She reached out and poked her back. Jiang Yumian’s shoulders quickly shrugged, but she didn’t turn around.
It was a bit noisy outside the tent. Everyone else was probably awake. Jing Xiaoyan tossed Jiang Yumian’s jacket onto her and laid out her hoodie for her.
“Hurry up and wash up. We’ll leave after breakfast.”
Jiang Yumian retreated into the sleeping bag, then reluctantly peeked her head out. She hesitated for two seconds, turned around, and stared wide-eyed at Jing Xiaoyan.
Jiang Yumian looked at her blankly, then composed herself, and suddenly said, “I don’t want to move. Pull me up.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and she smiled at her.
Just as Jiang Yumian was about to get up herself, she reached out, held Jiang Yumian’s shoulder, and pulled her up.
She was only wearing a pure white undershirt. Seeing her shiver, Jing Xiaoyan quickly handed her the hoodie. After thinking for a second, without waiting for Jiang Yumian to reach out, she pulled it over her head and helped her put it on.
The person being served was a little confused.
The jacket was quickly placed on her back. Jing Xiaoyan pulled up her collar. Her clean eyes reflected Jiang Yumian’s face, making Jiang Yumian stare blankly.
“If you keep looking at me like that, I might just kiss you.”
Jing Xiaoyan teased her with a smile, and her words immediately brought her back to reality.
Jiang Yumian was constantly being kissed and teased by her. She raised her eyes, remained silent for two seconds, and said directly, “Go ahead and kiss me. I’m happy to be kissed by a beauty.”
Just as Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up and she was about to lean in for a kiss, Jiang Yumian unnecessarily and deliberately added, “In that variety show I recorded before, all the beautiful Sisters except Mumu have kissed me. And one of them almost took my first kiss.”
Jing Xiaoyan pursed her lips, a knot of irritation forming in her chest, and her gaze towards Jiang Yumian darkened.
The person who had just fabricated a rumor about herself finally realized she was in trouble when Jing Xiaoyan remained silent.
Jiang Yumian bit her lip, lowered her head to avoid her gaze, and put her hands into the jacket sleeves. Just as she finished putting on her jacket, her face was cupped by Jing Xiaoyan’s hands.
After a series of fierce kisses from Jing Xiaoyan, Jiang Yumian finally couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed Jing Xiaoyan’s shoulders to lean back, feeling like Jing Xiaoyan was just relentlessly sucking on her face, completely devoid of gentleness!
Jiang Yumian closed her eyes and pleaded anxiously, “I was lying! I was lying! It never happened!”
As soon as she said this, Jing Xiaoyan gave her a punitive bite on the face. Jiang Yumian couldn’t hold back and shouted, “Ah! Jing Xiaoyan, are you trying to kill me!”
Jing Xiaoyan finally released her, satisfied. She reached out and patted Jiang Yumian’s head. “Don’t deliberately annoy me again in the future. I’m going out first. Take your time packing.”
Jiang Yumian glared fiercely at her as she left, then angrily wiped her face. Besides her mouth, Jing Xiaoyan had kissed every part of her face. Now, her first kiss was truly almost gone.
Seeing that Jing Xiaoyan seemed to be wearing lipstick, Jiang Yumian took a deep breath, suspecting her face might be covered in lipstick marks.
How could she be like this? She knew she liked her, so she did whatever she wanted. They weren’t even officially together! Her nominal girlfriend wasn’t surnamed Jing!
When Jiang Yumian emerged from the tent, she was met with scrutiny from everyone. She quickly covered her face, suspecting Jing Xiaoyan had indeed left a face full of lipstick marks.
She rushed to wash up. After washing, she ran into Lin Xi, who was returning to her tent, and was pulled into a side hug with a teasing look.
“Mianmian, what were you shouting about just now?” Lin Xi looked at her with a gossipy expression, leaning close to her and whispering, “What did Jing Xiaoyan do to you?”
Jiang Yumian was stunned for a moment. She had shouted quite loudly just now, so everyone probably heard her.
She cleared her throat and casually brushed her off. “She’s crazy.”
She waved her hand and walked away before Lin Xi could ask any more questions.
Seeing Jing Xiaoyan waving her over for breakfast, she controlled herself and walked over as if nothing had happened.
As she sat down next to Jing Xiaoyan, she subtly pinched her waist.
Jing Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and smiled, forcing herself to ask, “Mianmian, did you turn on the small camera in the tent? The staff said they needed to record us packing up the tent’s interior.”
Jiang Yumian released her fingers, thought for a moment, and then pinched her again. “Turn on what? Go back and turn it on yourself.”
Caught off guard by the renewed attack, Jing Xiaoyan couldn’t help but flinch her waist.
Su Mumu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Seeing Jiang Yumian look at her with a resentful gaze, she cleared her throat. “Mianmian, hurry up and eat. We’ll leave once we’re done packing.”
Jiang Yumian ignored Jing Xiaoyan the entire morning.
It was purely to save face and stand up for herself. She was deliberately ignoring her.
But the journey was tough. She was almost exhausted later on, yet she stubbornly endured without making a sound.
This path of crossing mountains and ridges was indeed very long.
The production crew didn’t actually intend for them to go on an adventure. They just wanted to allow the audience to experience the mountain path that the local villagers used to take.
When they looked down from the mountain, if they saw anything special, someone would point it out and introduce it to them. Walking this entire way, everyone gained a fair understanding of the local features and history.
Jiang Yumian finally reached her limit and could no longer walk. She stopped deliberately ignoring Jing Xiaoyan and directly grabbed her arm, letting her drag her along.
The two of them were at the back of the group. Jiang Yumian knew Jing Xiaoyan was deliberately slowing down to wait for her.
Jing Xiaoyan looked down at her, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a slight smirk, “Can’t walk anymore?”
Jiang Yumian raised her eyebrows, pressed hard on Jing Xiaoyan’s arm, but still didn’t say a word.
Jing Xiaoyan was pulled sideways by her. She said irritably, “Still ignoring me?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Yumian was panting, but despite her stubbornness, her hand remained wrapped around Jing Xiaoyan’s arm.
She directly rested her head on Jing Xiaoyan’s shoulder, leaning half of her body weight onto Jing Xiaoyan. Who cared about appearances now? She was too tired to even pretend.
Jing Xiaoyan supported Jiang Yumian and said to the group ahead, “It’s almost noon. Let’s take a break and eat something before continuing.”
Everyone quickly agreed. They were all tired from walking all morning, but no one had spoken up to suggest a break. They were all gritting their teeth, trying to save face.
Jiang Yumian leaned directly onto Jing Xiaoyan. Soon, a pair of hands started massaging her legs. Jiang Yumian lowered her eyes and snorted softly.
Given how attentive she was, she decided to temporarily forgive Jing Xiaoyan.
Jing Xiaoyan was massaging Jiang Yumian’s legs when a bottle of unscrewed water was handed to her. She paused, looked up, and saw Jiang Yumian looking at her with an arrogant expression.
“Want some?”
Jing Xiaoyan blinked, lowered her head, and drank the water from Jiang Yumian’s hand, forcing Jiang Yumian to lift the bottle to feed her.
Chu Baiyue couldn’t help but say, “You two are really too lovey-dovey.”
Jiang Yumian was about to retort, saying she wasn’t being lovey-dovey with Jing Xiaoyan, but realizing the person complaining was Chu Baiyue, she shut up.
However, she still retracted her feet, refusing to let Jing Xiaoyan massage her anymore. It was too embarrassing with so many people watching.
But Jing Xiaoyan insisted, continuing to massage her legs. Seeing Jiang Yumian try to pull back again, Jing Xiaoyan sighed and had to persuade her. “You’re going back today and have work tomorrow. Your legs will be very sore if I don’t massage them.”
At the mention of work, Jiang Yumian’s face fell. Oh right, she didn’t have time to rest.
Lin Xi thumped her own legs and couldn’t help but interject, “Mianmian, that’s rough. But I’m not much better. Chu Baiyue and I have to rush to the next music festival tomorrow. We have to go practice today.”
Music festival?
Jiang Yumian looked up at Lin Xi. “Was the music festival this past Thursday fun?”
She then looked at Jing Xiaoyan, deep in thought. She remembered Jing Xiaoyan saying she wanted to take her to a music festival, but she refused.
On Thursday, Jing Xiaoyan was gone when she woke up naked. So she left her alone in the hotel to go watch a music festival?
Chu Baiyue glanced at Lin Xi and quickly replied, “It was a lot of fun, except Lin Xi almost ate dirt.”
Lin Xi: “Hey!”
Jing Xiaoyan was seriously massaging her legs, but couldn’t help but laugh softly when she heard this. Lin Xi had complained to her that day about stumbling, but she didn’t actually fall.
As she was massaging her legs, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Noticing Jiang Yumian’s somewhat dangerous gaze, Jing Xiaoyan blinked, confused.
She opened her mouth. “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Yumian snorted, withdrew her feet, bent down, and violently thumped her legs in frustration. Judging by the intensity, it felt like she wasn’t thumping her own legs, but Jing Xiaoyan’s.
Jing Xiaoyan couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her at all.
Consequently, she was inexplicably ignored by Jiang Yumian for the entire afternoon. It wasn’t until the show ended that she had a chance to talk to her alone.
Jiang Yumian returned to the hotel, completely exhausted, but she still planned to take a shower and wash her hair before leaving. However, someone was preventing her from doing so, constantly blocking her way to the bathroom.
“Mianmian, why are you still ignoring me?” Jing Xiaoyan reached out to block the door, looking utterly confused.
Jiang Yumian pushed her, but couldn’t move her. She had no choice but to say impatiently, “Fine! I’ll talk to you! Let me go shower!”
Jing Xiaoyan refused, still blocking the door. “Then tell me why you’re ignoring me! What did I do?”
Her attitude towards her had plummeted after Lin Xi mentioned the music festival. Her attitude in the afternoon was even colder than in the morning.
Jiang Yumian snorted forcefully, looking at the bathtub in the bathroom. She gritted her teeth and lunged forward. “I want to shower! Let me in! I just don’t want to talk to you! Let me in!”
If she didn’t let her shower soon, she was going to bite someone! She felt uncomfortable all over!
Jing Xiaoyan was pushed back and had no choice. She reached out, wrapped her arms around Jiang Yumian’s waist, and walked straight into the bathroom, then picked her up and placed her in the bathtub. She pressed one hand on Jiang Yumian’s shoulder, preventing her from getting up.
“Is it related to the music festival?” Jing Xiaoyan guessed directly.
Jiang Yumian gritted her teeth, glaring at Jing Xiaoyan, and raised her voice. “You have the nerve to ask?”
Jing Xiaoyan froze. It really was because of the music festival.
But what did the music festival have to do with her?
Jiang Yumian struggled forcefully. Seeing it was no use, she became desperate and turned her head to bite Jing Xiaoyan’s wrist.
Jing Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes, pressed down a little harder with her hand, but quickly let go of her. She pulled her up to a sitting position and asked in a gentle voice, “What did I say? What’s wrong with the music festival?”
“What’s wrong? You ran off and left me naked in the hotel, and you ask what’s wrong?”
Jing Xiaoyan tilted her head, confusion filling her eyes. Was there a connection here?
Seeing her remain silent, Jiang Yumian scoffed coldly. “Ha. You left me alone in the hotel on Wednesday night and ran off to see Chu Baiyue and Lin Xi. I don’t think you like me that much.”
Who would leave the person they liked alone and naked in a hotel just to go watch a music festival!
Jing Xiaoyan was stunned for several seconds. When she finally understood, she raised an eyebrow, realizing that Jiang Yumian might be jealous. A smile quickly spread across her face, and she even chuckled aloud.
She wasn’t sure if it was Lin Xi or Chu Baiyue she was jealous of. Jing Xiaoyan thought for a moment. Probably Lin Xi more.
“What are you laughing at!”
Jiang Yumian was furious!
Jing Xiaoyan looked at her, pointed to herself, and asked, holding back a laugh, “When did I ever say I went to the music festival?”
