My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 28

Because Lin Mo was primarily responsible for the cakes and had to make so many today, she wasn’t finished with her work even by the time breakfast was ready.

Breakfast today was made by Qi Yushan and Yun Yue. Both of them were lazy people who didn’t want to make something too simple, especially since there were eight people to feed.

So, they cooked a pot of sticky rice and made a super long rice roll. When the rice was steaming, they put corn and sweet potatoes on top and also made some soy milk.

The breakfast they made with stubborn laziness turned out to be quite hearty. Everyone gathered around the table and praised them. “This is great! You guys are amazing!”

Even the quiet Yun Yue couldn’t help but smile, and Qi Yushan said directly, “This is already us using all of our skills.”

Zhuo Zitao laughed, “Then your skills are a bit too simple.”

Qiu Mingyi sighed, “When it’s your turn, are you going to cook a basin of pasta?”

Zhuo Zitao looked at him with a smile, and Qiu Mingyi: “…”

Jiang Lun: “…Senior, why are you like this?”

Qiu Mingyi looked up at the sky, full of emotion, “I’m just a little more righteous.”

Jiang Lun: “…” He’s willing to risk losing his wife just to say a few words. He’s really righteous!

Zhuo Zitao obviously didn’t want to bother with Qiu Mingyi, so she turned to Su Qixi and said, “Do you want to take some breakfast to Lin Mo?”

Su Qixi hadn’t yet recovered from her morning mental breakdown and flatly refused, “Why me? I don’t want to.”

Zhuo Zitao then turned to Qi Yushan and said, “Then you go! She’s just an outsider anyway, just feed her some scraps.”

Qi Yushan played along, “An outsider needs breakfast? Sister Zhuo, you’re being too kind. We should starve her for a meal.”

Zhuo Zitao nodded, “You’re right. I’m too merciful.”

[Hahaha, what are these two talking about? I’m dying of laughter.]

[What happened before the broadcast started this morning? I’m going to die from their passive-aggressiveness.]

[They’re both passive-aggressive, but theirs feels especially friendly! Hahahahaha.]

Su Qixi saw the two of them talk but neither of them moved, and she panicked. She fidgeted in her chair, looking at Zhuo Zitao eagerly.

Zhuo Zitao saw that she had achieved her goal and asked Su Qixi again, “What’s wrong? Did your kind heart move? Do you want to take the food in for us?”

Qiu Mingyi: “…”

Su Qixi paused, then nodded, holding back her shame.

[Ahhhhh, Su Bao, be strong! You won’t die from missing one meal!!!]

[Su Su, baby!!! How could you give up!]

[Su Bao, kindness is a killer! o(╥﹏╥)o]

Passersby: [All of Soda Pop has gone crazy.]

CP fans: [If it’s enough to make the solo fans go crazy, then it must be real. In that case, I’m switching sides.]

Kirin: [We understand you solo fans, sisters. Don’t cry. Let’s ship together!]

Su Qixi guessed that the comments would go crazy, but she didn’t care. She quickly got up, grabbed a large plate, and happily packed a portion for Lin Mo, then headed to the kitchen.

Zhuo Zitao looked at the happiness radiating from her back and couldn’t help but sigh, “Youth is a wonderful thing! If it were me, I’d be too embarrassed to take the food in.”

Wu Qingqing asked blankly, “Are you saying Sister Su has a thick skin?”

Zhuo Zitao: “…Sweetie, eat your food.”

[Hahaha, you can’t fight fate. One thing is made to conquer another.]

[Qingqing’s bluntness would have killed a lot of people in the previous seasons.]

[The key is that she’s so innocent!]

Jiang Lun put a piece of corn on her plate. “Qingqing, eat some corn.”

Wu Qingqing gave the corn back to him. Jiang Lun: “(:з」∠)”

Su Qixi took the breakfast to the kitchen. Lin Mo was cutting and arranging each cake on a plate. Although it was only the second day of the broadcast, fans who wanted to come might not have been able to get a plane ticket yet.

But there were definitely many fans. Plating them beforehand could save a lot of trouble.

Su Qixi stood quietly beside her. Although Lin Mo didn’t look up, she knew when Su Qixi came in. The kitchen was open-plan, and they weren’t far from the dining area, so she had heard every word of Zhuo Zitao’s conversation with Su Qixi about delivering the meal.

Her eyes were still on the cakes, but she still spared a moment to say, “Xiao Xi,” as a greeting.

Su Qixi: “Have some breakfast?”

Lin Mo: “You go eat first! I’m almost done.”

Su Qixi saw that she was working seriously and said anxiously, “It’s 8:30 already. The store will open soon. If you don’t eat now, you won’t have time later.”

Lin Mo thought for a moment, “But I don’t have time. Will you feed me?”

[Ahhhhh, what kind of fairy invitation is this?]

[Can she resist that?]

Su Qixi replied coldly, “No.”

[She actually resisted.]

Kirin: [Su Su, don’t worry about us! We’re just some non-verbal bots.]

Lin Mo was just joking. Hearing the rejection, she laughed instead. “Okay then! Looks like I’ll have to eat it myself. I’ll just finish up here and go eat with you outside?”

When Su Qixi heard this, she muttered “Amitabha” and quickly slipped out with the breakfast she had packed.

Lin Mo: “???” What did she just mutter? Amitabha?

Her eyes followed her panicked figure. She watched her nervously go back to the dining table. As soon as she sat down, she heard Yushan’s teasing voice, “Sister Su, are you reciting scriptures again?”

Su Qixi: “Xiao Qi, eat your food quickly.” Her voice was extremely guilty.

Lin Mo was speechless. She really was reciting scriptures! That’s no good. She might become a nun by accident.

Lin Mo took off her apron, washed her hands, and went out.

When Lin Mo came out, everyone greeted her. “Thank you for your hard work, Master. Come and eat.”

Lin Mo: “…Master?”

Su Qixi nervously pulled out a chair for her and said, “You sit down quickly. Don’t listen to them.”

Zhuo Zitao sadly covered her chest, “Even people in the industry are abandoning us now! She’s completely on the side of the outsider!”

Lin Mo paused and gave a wry smile. “This joke is never going to end. I won’t dare to say it again.”

Everyone’s tails went up, and they said smugly, “Good to know.”

Lin Mo was amused by their antics.

[Hehe, so it was Miss Pig who said it herself this morning.]

[The seniors are going to beat this joke to death, hahahaha.]

[As long as Miss Pig is quick to surrender, it’s not a problem!]

The corn and sweet potatoes on the table were eaten first, leaving only the rice rolls. Lin Mo knew that they were strict about their carb intake, so she didn’t compete with them for the sweet potatoes and corn.

She lowered her head and ate the rice roll that Su Qixi had packed for her. When Lin Mo ate, she was quiet, putting the food in her mouth with a straight posture and chewing slowly. Even the way she held her chopsticks was old-fashioned and proper.

Qiu Mingyi unconsciously straightened his posture too. He looked at Lin Mo and couldn’t help but say, “Are you some kind of old official who’s about to retire?”

Lin Mo, with a mouthful of rice roll, looked up at Qiu Mingyi and surprisingly nodded.

Yes, I’m retired.

Qiu Mingyi: “…You’re something else.”

[Hahahahahaha, she even gave a very serious nod.]

[She’s so cute!]

After breakfast, everyone started to plan the work for the day.

Lin Mo was the last one to finish eating because she came late.

Since her main focus was on the pastries, the others could continue their meeting without her.

Zhuo Zitao was arranging the work when the iPad on the table beeped. A sound meant a task. Zhuo Zitao picked it up, read it, and then handed it to Su Qixi.

Su Qixi took it in confusion and her eyes widened when she looked down.

—Punish the last person to finish eating by tickling them. The method and person are up to you. The task is completed when you successfully tickle them. Condition: You can’t tell the person it’s a task! Reward: If you complete the task, you can make Director Feng do 180 squats.

Director Feng: “…” Who the heck came up with this?

[Hahahaha, Director Feng’s face: ???]

[So this task was definitely a surprise for Director Feng, right?]

[It must be a temporary task?]

[Not necessarily. There are four CPs here! Whichever one finishes last, there’s always something to see. Hahahahaha…]

Su Qixi pursed her lips and looked at Lin Mo, who was still drinking soy milk. She started to think. Director Feng had offended a lot of people. Making him do squats? Someone was definitely going to do this task.

If she didn’t do it, someone else would!

Why should someone else get to do it!!!

Su Qixi quickly darted over, reaching for Lin Mo’s waist. Unfortunately, Lin Mo was too fast. The moment Su Qixi’s hand reached her waist, Lin Mo instinctively grabbed her wrist.

Su Qixi was so tightly held that she couldn’t move, but her body was still moving forward, and she ended up bumping right into Lin Mo’s chest.

Lin Mo forcefully swallowed the last mouthful of soy milk so she wouldn’t rudely spit it out.

But she still choked and turned her head away from the person in her arms, coughing a couple of times. Only after her throat felt better did she look down at her and ask in surprise, “What are you trying to do?”

Su Qixi could only make up a forced excuse, “I just wanted to tickle you.”

[Hahahaha.]

[Oh my gosh! She’s so cute. Let her tickle you.]

[The film queen’s persona has completely collapsed.]

[I love her like this. She seems so much more relatable, hehe!]

Lin Mo was silent for a moment. “…Why?”

Su Qixi coughed, trying to shift the blame. “The others said you’re too serious, so they told me to teach you a lesson. They said it!” Although she had tried to be tough, she emphasized the last part.

The other guests: “???” What’s this about shifting the blame?

[Baby, don’t be a coward!]

[Su Bao, what are you afraid of? Go for it!]

Kirin: [Su Bao, don’t be afraid. Miss Pig will definitely give in to you.]

Lin Mo pulled her out of her arms and said with a helpless smile, “Stop messing around. Let’s get ready to open the store.”

Su Qixi’s righteousness suddenly disappeared without a trace. Her head drooped, and she said in a muffled, wronged voice, “Okay.”

Lin Mo: “…How about I let you tickle me?”

As a CP fan of another ship, I suddenly understand why Kirin is gaining fans so fast

Their main leads are really putting in the work. And then there’s ours.

She’s so spoiled

I’m joining Kirin. This couple is so great.

Su Qixi’s spirits lifted. She reached out without hesitation and tickled Lin Mo’s waist. Lin Mo chuckled again.

Su Qixi became smug. See? See? With Lin Mo’s skills, only I could have completed this task. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The sunlight outside seemed to have cast a halo around her, making her smile as carefree and vibrant as a red camellia in the mountains.

It was bright and beautiful.

Lin Mo saw it, and her expression couldn’t help but soften. The upward curve of her lips was full of happiness.

[Ahhhhhhh.]

[Ahhhhhh!!!]

[Ahhhhhh!!!]

[She’s so spoiled!!!]

[I can ship this scene for a whole year!!!]

The mere 150,000 Kirin CP fans had the power of 1.5 million fans, flooding the screen with comments so much that other fans couldn’t even post.

[Sorry to all the other fans, I’m just climbing the wall for a little while.]

[Sorry to all my fans, I’ll be back next month.]

Soda Pop stubbornly explained: [They are just very good friends.]

Kirin: […Just accept reality!]

Soda Pop: […Get lost!!!

At this moment, fans from all over the country were arriving in Xia Hong Town.

Zhuo Zitao, as the “big sister,” took charge of the overall organization.

The temporary plan was for her and Qiu Mingyi to make coffee. They had a long-standing habit of making their own coffee, which had made them quite skilled at it.

Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing would make juice, which wasn’t too difficult.

Qi Yushan, Yun Yue, and Su Qixi would be in charge of serving and the cashier.

As for Lin Mo, she would be solely responsible for the pastries.

The meeting ended at 8:45 AM, 15 minutes before the store opened.

Jiang Lun went to the front to open the door. The large wooden door of Ink Guest House had a very rustic wooden lock. After carrying the large wooden bar to the side, Jiang Lun pulled the door open and froze.

The entrance was packed with fans, who had all organized themselves into a long line.

Seeing Jiang Lun come out, his fans shouted, “Ginger, Ginger, we are the Ginger fans forever!!”

Jiang Lun paused. In that moment, he felt a sting in his eyes. Although it wasn’t the first time fans had come to visit, seeing his fans holding up light signs, afraid that he wouldn’t see them, still moved him.

“Ahhhhhhh, Ginger is so handsome!!!”

“Ahhhhhhh.”

“This trip was so worth it!!!”

Seeing the large crowd, Jiang Lun was worried about a stampede. Fortunately, the production team was well-prepared. When the crowd started to grow, they had already asked the village head to set up a barrier. The fans were also well-behaved and didn’t make a sound before Jiang Lun came out, just quietly waiting in line.

The villagers were naturally very happy. It was only the first day, and there were already thousands of fans. More fans would continue to arrive, which was great for the village’s tourism.

With the TV promotion, their reputation would spread, and life couldn’t be better.

Jiang Lun opened the door and let them in in an orderly fashion.

Inside the store, Zhuo Zitao and the others were flustered as the fans poured in.

The fans’ purpose for coming was far greater than drinking coffee, so they didn’t mind if their orders were wrong or if the coffee was slow. They even comforted the guests, “It’s okay, no rush.”

It was the first day of business, and there were a lot of customers. Their teamwork wasn’t perfect yet, so mistakes were bound to happen.

On the other hand, Su Qixi seemed very experienced in this area and handled it with ease. Lin Mo, while managing the cake stand, was also helping to make coffee and juice.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the fans found their own seats and shared tables if there weren’t enough seats. If they received a coffee directly from their idol, they would scream three times.

Lin Mo’s cake stand was a huge success. Within a short time, all the cakes she had made in the morning were sold out.

The remaining fans didn’t leave. They crowded around the glass display case and talked to Lin Mo. “Miss Pig, we’re your fans!”

Lin Mo’s mouth twitched. “I haven’t debuted, and I don’t have any works. What are you fans of?”

“We’re fans of your good looks! We’re fans of your good temper! We’re fans of you liking Su Bao!”

The fans were shameless and more direct than the onlookers from the morning.

“Miss Pig, do you like Su Bao?”

“Miss Pig, have you been keeping Su Bao’s phone number all these years too?”

Lin Mo finally realized. “Are you CP fans?”

“Ahhhhhhh, you know about us?”

“Miss Pig, are you also shipping your own CP?”

Lin Mo: “…I’m not.” I’m directly pursuing the real person. Why would I ship the CP? It sounds so pathetic!

One of the fans gave a sneaky smile. “Denial is admission, hehe.”

Lin Mo: “…” Admitting it is also admitting it, I guess? There’s no such thing as denying it. The world of CP fans is truly unique.
