I Was Taken by the Female Lead After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 81

The hotel was only a twenty-minute drive from the filming location. The sky was still a deep black. Bai Feifei was in the car, and her body was still soaked, but there was no need to clean up anymore.

She turned her head to look at the rain outside and said to Fu Xiaoxiao, “It’s so rare to have heavy rain in the summer.”

Fu Xiaoxiao felt bad for Bai Feifei for being so tired. She was busy helping her pack up her things and said, “I know, right? It’s a rare heavy rain warning that only happens once every few years. It’s so sudden.”

The crew’s filming tasks were closely related to the weather. So after checking with the meteorological bureau, they changed the content of the shoot. It was a good thing that most of their scenes were set in modern times, and many of the scenes didn’t require specific weather, so they could film smoothly.

However, there were too many uncontrollable factors. The danger of hanging from wires in this kind of weather was also greater. Just now, the scene where a few of the supporting actors were hit and thrown by the car was only a few seconds long in the show but took several hours to film in reality.

This was considered a smooth day. If it wasn’t, it might have taken a day or two to film because there were too many departments that needed to be adjusted.

Fu Xiaoxiao thought that Bai Feifei was worried about the filming schedule. After making sure her scalp was mostly dry, she wrapped a towel around her damp hair.

After her body warmed up, she felt a little sleepy. Bai Feifei leaned against the car window and mumbled a few words.

Fu Xiaoxiao leaned closer. In the reflection of the car window, her expression instantly turned black from heartache, as if she was possessed by Mother Rong and was about to use a needle to stab Huo Wu.

“It wouldn’t be bad to have a rainy walk with Ah Wu,” Bai Feifei said before she fell asleep. “Just with one small umbrella. I’ll just say I’m cold and let her hold me. It would definitely help our relationship grow…”

The moment they arrived at the hotel, the car hadn’t even come to a full stop when Huo Wu’s car followed them.

Other crew cars also followed one after another. When Bai Feifei got out of the car in a daze, she almost missed a step on the stairs but was caught by Huo Wu, who was also getting out of her car on the other side.

Bai Feifei sobered up in shock but felt safe in Huo Wu’s arms. For a moment, she didn’t struggle. She remembered the promise she made when she left the set and groaned, wanting to be spoiled and clingy.

Fu Xiaoxiao was behind Bai Feifei. Her resentment was almost tangible.

If it weren’t for Huo Wu, she would be the one holding Bai Feifei and taking her upstairs to sleep. They were supposed to be the best friends in the world.

Her lips were pouting up to the sky, but when she saw Huo Wu directly carrying Bai Feifei in her arms, she didn’t say anything and went upstairs unhappily with Bai Xue.

Almost all of Bai Feifei’s weight was on Huo Wu. She kept asking her, “Am I heavy?”

“No.”

Bai Feifei asked again, “Then can you carry me all the way upstairs, open the door, and then just throw me directly into the bathtub?”

The top suite had butler service. Before they came back, Fu Xiaoxiao had already asked someone to clean the bathroom and fill the tub. The bathtub had a constant temperature and a massage function, so she could just relax in it when she got back.

Huo Wu held back a laugh. “Yes.”

As she said that, she was about to change her posture, but after only a few steps, Bai Feifei didn’t want her to get tired, so she flailed and got down herself.

The coat that Huo Wu had just put on her was taken off by her own hands. The clothes fell all over the floor from the moment they entered the door, all mixed up. It was impossible to tell whose was whose.

Bai Feifei’s waist was wrapped in a pair of fair but strong arms. In the steaming mist, she suddenly remembered her idea of walking in the rain with Huo Wu in the car.

It was definitely impossible to go out in the rain now. Huo Wu looked around and turned on the shower head above them.

The warm water came down from above. Huo Wu took out Bai Feifei’s small basin for washing her face and held it above their heads. “Let’s just stroll around like this.”

Bai Feifei really did “walk” in a proper manner a couple of times.

She felt a surge of childishness. Seeing the water hitting her body, she said coquettishly, “You’re getting me wet.”

She was almost sitting in Huo Wu’s arms, hugged by her. She couldn’t see the smile on Huo Wu’s face, but she could hear the laughter in her voice. “What should we do then?”

“You can hold me tighter.” Bai Feifei’s back was touching a piece of soft skin. She shivered and couldn’t help but curl up, but she carefully leaned back and continued, “Hold me a little tighter.”

Huo Wu hugged her again.

One hand was enough to wrap around Bai Feifei’s waist. Huo Wu’s hand stroked her waist. “Like this?”

Bai Feifei still shook her head, but there was no more distance to close between them.

Huo Wu lowered her head. Just as she was about to ask again, “What should we do?” she saw Bai Feifei turn around in her arms and kiss her at an incredibly flexible angle.

The moment their skin touched, a familiar scent filled Huo Wu’s nostrils. She mumbled, “You smell so good.”

It wasn’t perfume or any other scent. Huo Wu found it hard to describe. She couldn’t even find a similar item to compare it to. She just felt that Bai Feifei smelled good.

That scent seemed to be hidden in her memories, in her mind, and in every familiar scene, clip, and song. It always made her feel at peace, comfortable, and sweet.

In the steaming mist, Huo Wu opened her eyes and saw Bai Feifei’s wet eyes and moist, long hair. She instinctively swallowed a few times, and her legs formed a lock, trapping her in an extremely small area, tightly intertwined with her.

Not even the last time in the hotel had made Huo Wu lose control like this. From her soul to her bones, it was as if she had finally found the treasure that was missing from her life, and they had now merged together.

The door to Bai Feifei’s room wasn’t opened until 5 p.m.

The curtains were extremely good at blocking out light, but a small gap allowed a ray of light to shine directly on her face. The daylight wasn’t strong, but it still stimulated her eyes. She heard movement from outside and didn’t want to get up. Her whole body was as soft as a blob of jelly.

When Huo Wu came out after taking a shower, she saw Bai Feifei trying to burrow her head into the middle of the pillow, trying to avoid all the light.

She found it amusing. She reached out and gently flipped Bai Feifei over. Her eyes were red and a little swollen. Bai Feifei grunted twice, her voice hoarse. Huo Wu said, “Drink some water.”

Bai Feifei’s eyes were too swollen to open. Huo Wu pulled her into her arms and gently fed her water. She then wrung out a dry towel to wipe her face.

After getting a good wipe and having her face washed with warm water, Bai Feifei finally opened her eyes. But her reactions were still a little slow. “I feel like…”

Huo Wu nervously straightened her back.

Bai Feifei mumbled, “…like my body has been emptied…”

“So exciting.”

She had been working non-stop for twenty-four hours and had stayed in the constant-temperature pool with Huo Wu until the water turned cold.

Bai Feifei’s mouth was faster than her brain, and she didn’t even know what she was saying. “It was a constant-temperature pool, and we stayed until the water got cold… Ah Wu, you’re so amazing. I’ve heard that people usually have a tolerance period after a dozen minutes, but you didn’t make me feel uncomfortable… Did I make you feel uncomfortable? I’ll have to watch more and learn more…”

Huo Wu pinched her mouth. “Where are you going to watch more and learn more?”

Bai Feifei proudly pulled out her phone, her voice muffled. “Netflix!”

After just a second of excitement, Bai Feifei deflated. “I’m hungry.”

Huo Wu got up to order food. After hesitating for a moment, even though she knew Bai Feifei loved spicy food, Bai Feifei had been eating bland food for too long. If she suddenly ate something spicy, her stomach wouldn’t be able to handle it, and her body was weak, so she couldn’t handle such spicy food. She still ordered some light and appetizing dishes for her.

Just as she hung up the phone, she heard Bai Feifei’s quiet exclamation from the room, followed by the sound of her falling and the thud of something dropping.

Huo Wu was startled and quickly went back to the room. She saw Bai Feifei leaning against the bed, a look of shock and surprise on her face. Her gaze was on her own legs.

Huo Wu went up to her and helped her sit up. She then picked up a coat from the side and put it on her. “What are you doing down here?”

Bai Feifei said pitifully, “I wanted to go to the bathroom.”

Huo Wu asked, “Why did you fall?”

Bai Feifei fell silent.

A moment later, she pulled off the blanket and used it to awkwardly cover her bare body. The result was the same. After only two steps, she fell to her knees with a “thud.”

This time, even Huo Wu didn’t say anything.

Bai Feifei grabbed Huo Wu’s hand and placed it on her own thigh. “Ah Wu, my legs are shaking.”

Huo Wu massaged her to relax her muscles. “What about your back?”

Bai Feifei nodded. “It’s sore too.”

And this was after she had already massaged her for a long time. But she had been careless and forgotten to massage her legs.

Bai Feifei’s waist wasn’t the only part that was working hard. Her legs had also taken a lot of force.

Huo Wu lowered her head to massage her. Bai Feifei said again, “It’s much better than before. It’ll be fine once I get moving.”

What she said was true, but in the first few steps, Bai Feifei was still moving like a patient in physical therapy. After being supported for four or five steps, she could finally walk on her own.

Even then, Huo Wu could still see Bai Feifei’s leg muscles twitching.

She was silent for a moment and thought that this would absolutely not happen again.

But last night, she didn’t know who had lost control and who had gone too far. Huo Wu only remembered Bai Feifei’s dissatisfied moans, and the things she had initially insisted on slowly gave way and finally completely collapsed.

Bai Feifei finally got moving. Although she was still a little uncomfortable, it wasn’t a major issue anymore.

She turned her head and saw Huo Wu’s expression. Alarm bells immediately went off in her head, and she changed the subject very quickly. “Oh, right, how much of our relationship can we reveal to the production crew?”

Huo Wu thought for a moment and said, “Everything but kissing.”

Bai Feifei was very pleasantly surprised to find a loophole. “So kissing that’s not mouth-to-mouth is okay?”

Huo Wu said, “Not too much, either.”

In fact, there wasn’t a lot of it anyway—before yesterday.

Huo Wu suddenly started to think back. When did she and Bai Feifei go back to the natural way they were when they first met?

But she couldn’t think of a specific time.

It could have been their escape from the banquet, the deep kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel, or Bai Feifei’s unwavering enthusiasm for so long… It was hard to maintain a calm persona, and she was now so skilled that she could see Bai Feifei’s intention to kiss her before her lips were even puckered, and she would take the initiative to kiss Bai Feifei.

—Just like now, she could even see Bai Feifei’s quiet intention when she was biting her spoon.

She must be thinking that the definition of “not too much” means that kissing is okay.

“Too much” was even completely ignored by her.

Sure enough, Bai Feifei soon scooted over from the dining table. “What if it gets exposed?”

“Then let it be exposed,” Huo Wu said indifferently. “I don’t care about that.”

The one who had been hiding it all along was actually Bai Feifei.

Huo Wu suddenly understood.

It turned out that it wasn’t that they couldn’t break the ice before. It was that Bai Feifei’s sneaky actions always made her feel unsettled. Even though she was always flirting, her actions weren’t crossing the line. She could even hug and cuddle with Fu Xiaoxiao at any time and anywhere.

It was as if she wasn’t in a very special position.

And later, even though Bai Feifei wasn’t aware of it, she was already subconsciously showing her a need—an intimacy that belonged only to lovers.

This realization also subtly changed Huo Wu, allowing them to reach the state they both wanted but had always struggled to get to.

Huo Wu was a little dazed for a moment. She asked Bai Feifei, “What about you? Are you worried about being exposed?”

Bai Feifei was dejected. “I am.”

Huo Wu’s heart skipped a beat.

Bai Feifei said again, “What if I drag you down? What if people curse you? What if they say I’m not good enough for you and I lose my confidence?”

The more Bai Feifei spoke, the angrier she got.

Huo Wu watched Bai Feifei gnawing on a chicken bone and grinding her teeth in anger and slowly started to laugh.
