My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 22
As a novice driver on the road for the first time, Su Qixi’s slow speed on the rural road was perfectly fine.
The concrete road leading out of the town of Xia Hong was a renovated dirt road from a long time ago, with only two lanes for traffic going both ways. Su Qixi’s slow speed quickly caused a red car coming out of the town to be stuck behind her.
Su Qixi panicked and asked Lin Mo, “Should I let them pass?” She had completely forgotten that Lin Mo was a rookie who hadn’t even taken her driving test. In Su Qixi’s memory, Lin Mo was omnipotent, just like the Lin Mo from her youth.
She appeared on a cloud of auspicious colors, able to resolve all her crises.
Zhou Ping was about to speak when Lin Mo reached out to steady the steering wheel and gently comforted Su Qixi, “Hold it steady, just keep going in this direction, no need to speed up.”
Then, she turned to glance at the car behind them in the rearview mirror. Seeing the car flash its hazard lights twice, Lin Mo reached around the steering wheel and did something.
Just as the back windshield wipers swished back and forth, the car behind them suddenly sped past Su Qixi’s car and quickly drove away.
Su Qixi was so shocked and excitedly asked, “How did you do that? I want to learn.”
Lin Mo rested her chin on her hand, looking out the window at the scenery, and said calmly, “You don’t need to. After you drive a couple more times, you won’t need this method.”
Su Qixi blinked her big eyes. Though she was puzzled, she didn’t ask why.
Lin Mo’s words were always right.
Zhou Ping: “…”
[Hahahaha, Miss Pig is so mean!]
[Wait a minute, didn’t Miss Pig say she can’t drive?]
[Exactly! I know how to drive, but I don’t know how to turn on the back windshield wipers. (:з」∠)]
Zhou Ping clearly had the same question. “Pig… wait, Miss Lin, do you really not know how to drive?”
Lin Mo: “I don’t have a driver’s license.”
Zhou Ping: “…” So does that mean she can drive or not?
When the car got onto the national highway, more cars appeared. Su Qixi immediately got nervous. Lin Mo’s voice had a magical calming effect. She told Su Qixi to stay in the right lane, and not to worry about the cars behind her…
A rookie without a license was teaching a licensed novice their first lesson on the road.
Zhou Ping watched from the back, dumbfounded, becoming even more suspicious about Lin Mo’s claim of “no driver’s license.”
In this winding journey, the car finally reached the supermarket safely.
Then, Su Qixi got stuck trying to parallel park…
Lin Mo was confused. “You were great getting out of the parking lot just now, weren’t you?”
Zhou Ping looked at her in horror. “…Was she great just now? Are you being serious?” They almost crashed into the car next to them!
Lin Mo nodded and told Zhou Ping, “I’m serious.”
Then she asked Su Qixi, “What did you get on your second test?”
Su Qixi bit her lip and glared at her. “You haven’t even taken the driver’s test, so even if I lost points on parallel parking, I still passed on my first try.”
Lin Mo smiled and nodded. “Yes, you’re amazing. Also, Xiao Xi…” She said as Su Qixi looked at her in confusion, “You’re especially cute when you glare at me.”
Su Qixi’s breathing hitched, and her face turned red at a visible speed…
“And the fact that you blush so easily hasn’t changed either.”
Su Qixi’s face got even redder…
[Ahhhhhhhh, I knew Qilin was real!!!]
[Ahhhhh, I think she’s so cute too, so cute!!!]
[Miss Pig is amazing!!!]
[Her teasing skills are out of this world!]
[If these two don’t have something going on, you can chop my head off.]
[Hurry up, kill me to get them going!!!]
Even though the Qilin fanbase wasn’t huge yet, at this moment, they erupted with unprecedented power. The entire comment section was taken over by CP fans.
The solo fans looked at their comments being buried and thought helplessly, Are these guys crazy just because they got some “sugar”?
Although Su Qixi was flustered, under Lin Mo’s guidance, she backed the car… right into the parking spot.
After successfully parking and straightening the car, Su Qixi’s eyes lit up. She looked at Lin Mo and asked, “You saw that, right?”
Lin Mo laughed. “I saw it. That was really impressive.”
[Just spoil her, you will!!!]
[Movie star Su has completely forgotten how she even parked the car.]
After getting out of the car, Zhou Ping still couldn’t help but ask Lin Mo, “Do you really not know how to drive?”
Lin Mo’s answer was the same: “I don’t have a driver’s license.”
Zhou Ping: “…”
[…]
[Miss Pig is still very slick.]
[Successfully confused the cameraman. Hahahaha…]
[She’s even confusing me. So, she’s never denied that she can’t drive.]
[Given Miss Pig’s personality, and her answers, she can drive but doesn’t have a license.]
The supermarket was an hour’s drive from the town of Xia Hong, with a few smaller supermarkets in between. But to ensure they had everything they needed, and because this famous warehouse supermarket had low prices, everyone decided to go there from the start.
The supermarket was only about a 20-minute drive from the provincial capital, and people from other cities also came here to shop, so it was always crowded.
Fortunately, Lin Mo and Su Qixi arrived during work hours.
So, it wasn’t particularly crowded today. The two got out of the car, grabbed a large shopping cart at the entrance, and headed into the store.
Su Qixi didn’t wear a disguise. Even if she did, it would be pointless with Zhou Ping’s camera following them.
Today, she wore a pink denim dress with a tank top underneath, with a soft and cute demeanor. With her movie currently in theaters, gasps were heard as soon as they entered the store.
Soon, there were small screams, and people started to crowd around them.
Fortunately, most of the passersby were not crazy fans. They knew a show was being filmed and just stood at a distance to watch.
Lin Mo glanced at her surroundings and once again realized that Su Qixi was different now. She was no longer the little wretch from 10 years ago. Now, she was radiant and no longer needed her.
“What are you looking at?” Su Qixi asked her.
Lin Mo looked away and said faintly, “I’ve realized you’ve really grown up. Just like you said, you’ve taken good care of yourself.”
Su Qixi huffed, turned her head away, and said proudly, “Of course. Did you think I couldn’t do it without you?”
Lin Mo smiled, “Of course, I wouldn’t think that…”
When they spoke of the past again, it no longer felt as cold as the first time. The buffer of this time had given Su Qixi enough psychological preparation.
The fans following them were mostly solo fans of Su Qixi. They followed behind her, secretly filming with their phones.
Su Qixi and Lin Mo’s first stop was the kitchenware section. Lin Mo picked out a few beautiful glass containers.
They went through the aisles, slowly adding items from their shopping list. Since they were stocking up for a business, they needed a lot of things. Each of them had a shopping cart.
Before long, their carts were full.
As they moved along, the crowd of people followed. The film crew had actually sent another car to follow them from the start, for situations like this where they needed to control the crowd. Luckily, the situation remained stable.
It wasn’t until Lin Mo and Su Qixi went to check out that two girls in the crowd finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward.
“Susu, can we, can we have your autograph?”
Su Qixi naturally didn’t refuse. She smiled and nodded, “Of course.”
With that start, more than 10 people immediately surrounded them. The crew members, worried about the situation, quickly squeezed in to protect Su Qixi.
As more fans gathered, there were some who were extremely possessive of Su Qixi and had long disliked the closeness between Lin Mo and her.
One of them, mixed in the crowd, shoved Lin Mo hard as she walked past her.
Lin Mo had noticed her beforehand, but from her limited knowledge of the entertainment industry, she knew that if she pushed back, it would certainly cause trouble for Su Qixi. There was no way to get out of the way, with the only space being behind her at the cashier.
When the person shoved her, Lin Mo could only take a step back into the only unoccupied spot. Although she cushioned the force of the push, her arm still lightly hit the corner of the cash register. It was a slight sting, but nothing serious.
Lin Mo just glanced at the person, who quickly disappeared back into the crowd of fans.
Lin Mo, of course, didn’t intend to pursue the matter. She stood outside the crowd, looking at the surrounded Su Qixi, and smiled helplessly.
Su Qixi was clearly experienced in handling these situations. She calmed the fans down and signed their names. Before the situation could get chaotic, the staff took control, and the fans were asked to return to a safe distance.
They were excited, shouting, “Susu, we’ll go drink coffee tomorrow!”
Su Qixi smiled and looked back at them, saying, “Thank you, everyone.”
“Ahhhhhhh.”
“Susu is so beautiful.”
“Susu, I love you!!!”
The fans behind her screamed as Su Qixi gave them a smiling glance.
After paying, the two pushed their carts to the parking lot. As they were putting things in the trunk, Su Qixi suddenly noticed Lin Mo’s arm was a bit red and asked strangely, “What happened to your hand?”
Lin Mo glanced at her arm. There was a red mark near her elbow. Lin Mo casually said, “I accidentally bumped it on the cash register.”
Zhou Ping couldn’t help but say, “She was shoved by a fan.”
Su Qixi paused. She looked up at Lin Mo, as if waiting for her answer.
Lin Mo smiled, “It’s nothing. It’s true that I didn’t pay attention. It was too chaotic at the time.”
[Ahhhhhh, Miss Pig!!! Why didn’t you tell her that girl did it on purpose!!!]
[Exactly, the camera was pointing right there. It was clearly on purpose.]
[Thank goodness Miss Pig took two steps back, or if she was pushed, she might have hit her head.]
[Ahhhh, I hate these stalker fans.]
Su Qixi clearly didn’t believe her, but she only froze for a moment. In the end, she said nothing and silently returned to the driver’s seat.
Naturally, with Lin Mo not having a license, Su Qixi had to drive.
Having driven all the way from the town, Su Qixi was no longer as nervous when she started the car again as she had been when they left Xia Hong.
But as a novice, she was still careful as she drove out of the parking lot, then followed the map on her phone back towards the town of Xia Hong.
She remained silent the entire way. Zhou Ping, sitting in the car, felt something was off and was very uncomfortable.
Su Qixi was angry.
