My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 37
Lin Mo had no idea that Su Qixi was already thinking about how to take care of her. She was simply moved by Su Qixi’s words, “I trust you.”
As mentioned before, this was a transitional world, with no danger, meant for the task-doers to cultivate their minds and bodies. Long-term mental tension could easily drive a task-doer insane.
There were many such worlds. From entering to leaving, it was up to the task-doer to decide how long they wanted to stay.
However, the shortest stay could not be less than one day, and the longest could not exceed three years.
But the three years were not a free option. Any time beyond three months had to be exchanged for points.
Once the points were used up, they could only keep taking on tasks to earn more points until they had enough.
Therefore, for a task-doer, it was very dangerous to use up all their points in a rest world. The pressure of wanting to rest but not being able to was immense.
The pressure of constantly having to go through dangerous situations was also immense.
But Lin Mo still chose to stay for three years, because she knew that Su Qixi needed a guide, a long-term companion, and treatment to re-engage with the world.
Lin Mo stayed until the maximum time limit and had no choice but to leave.
She could not tell Su Qixi if she would be able to return.
Because maybe, she would die in one of those worlds.
The system did not allow her to reveal the rules outside of this world, and Lin Mo could not guarantee that she would be able to return.
But she was still selfish. When she left, she had the option of erasing her memories of ever being in this world, but Lin Mo didn’t agree. She thought that she would definitely be able to come back.
She wanted to leave this thought behind, and she hoped that Su Qixi would remember her.
But for Su Qixi, wasn’t this another form of abandonment?
Eight years passed without a word.
At least for Su Qixi, this was an unforgivable act.
But Su Qixi still trusted her.
Lin Mo couldn’t help but smile contentedly. She had thought about the anger she would have to face when she returned. She had also thought that maybe Su Qixi was waiting for her.
But everything was just a guess, a cruel “maybe.”
Lin Mo had always known that all her efforts did not require any return. Since she had given willingly, how could she hope for Su Qixi to even look back at her?
But what if… she received such a reward?
Wouldn’t that be a perfect and fortunate thing?
Su Qixi was probably like this! Her reactions and words told Lin Mo that she remembered everything, all the things that Lin Mo had done for her.
Su Qixi struggled slightly in her arms and said, “How about I lend you the money?” Su Qixi looked up in her arms, her round eyes bright with a thousand stars, sparkling.
The beautiful and adorable Su Qixi was as enticing as a delicious meal placed in front of a hungry person. No matter how she looked, she couldn’t help but want to devour her.
Lin Mo reached out and tucked the strands of hair that were messed up in her arms behind her ear, and gently refused her, “If you weren’t in the entertainment industry, I would have borrowed it. But you are, so I can’t.”
Su Qixi was unhappy to hear that. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes showed a vivid look of anger.
“Why?”
Lin Mo: “If I want to stand by your side, I can’t do it with your help.”
Su Qixi still didn’t understand. Her hands on Lin Mo’s legs clenched unconsciously.
Lin Mo seemed to feel it. She reached out and held her hands, gently stroking them to help her relax.
“Don’t be nervous, Xiao Xi. I’ve never been one to be overconfident. I have a way to pay off the debt.”
Seeing that she couldn’t persuade her, Su Qixi could only ask, “What way? Okay, then how much have you paid off now?”
Lin Mo smiled, as if she was thinking, but her answer was very definite. “The debt seems to have doubled!”
Su Qixi almost stood up and started yelling. “What did you say!!!”
Fortunately, Lin Mo was strong enough to pull her back down, and she soothed her. “Don’t be anxious! I have no money, so if I want to pay off the debt, I have to take some risks.”
Su Qixi’s eyes widened. She looked at her in disbelief and said, “How can you owe people more money by taking risks?”
Lin Mo chuckled and reached out to tap her forehead. “How can you expect to get something for nothing?”
Su Qixi remembered what Xiong Jingjing had said, that the two of them should keep their distance until Lin Mo paid off her debt. This was to protect Lin Mo, but now she owed 10 million! When would she ever be able to pay it off? Would she have to wait until her hair turned white?
Then why did she care about what the fans said? She could just quit the entertainment industry and live a carefree life with Lin Mo, right?
Su Qixi clenched her fists and insisted, “I have money to pay it off!”
Lin Mo looked at her confident and loving fists and burst out laughing. She propped her chin on one hand and reached out with the long index finger of her other hand to tap the tip of Su Qixi’s nose. She said to her, “You can’t do that! It would be too easy to scam you out of your money.”
The sun was slowly setting, and the remaining afterglow seemed to dye the sky into a colorful brocade. The river in the distance was like a white silk ribbon.
What was that ancient poem that said?
—The remaining afterglow scatters into brocade, the clear river is as quiet as a silk ribbon.
The magnificent and colorful sunset painting, with all its infinite charm, was not as beautiful as Lin Mo at this moment.
Her hair dancing in the evening breeze, the pleasant smile on her lips, and the starlight twinkling in her slightly bent eyes. Even the index finger suspended in mid-air seemed to glow.
Su Qixi’s heart thumped with deafening excitement.
Her heart was itching, wanting to get closer. She was too shy to take the initiative, so she reached out with both hands and patted her hot cheeks. Su Qixi still answered Lin Mo firmly, “I’m not afraid of being scammed by you, not at all.”
Lin Mo’s smile paused, and her gaze toward Su Qixi became deeper.
She asked Su Qixi softly, “Are you really not afraid?”
“I’m not!”
“And you won’t regret it?”
“I won’t.”
In Lin Mo’s eyes, how could Su Qixi not be a stunning beauty at this moment?
Silly Su Qixi!
How could Lin Mo not be moved? No amount of effort or misunderstanding could compare to these two sentences.
Her heart melted into a mess. Lin Mo raised her hand, and the air it passed through brought a slight breeze. Her finger then touched her lips.
The touch under her hand was incredibly soft.
Lin Mo slowly broke into a smile. Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was as alluring as a sea demon’s. “Close your eyes.”
Su Qixi felt like she was frozen. Her heart fluttered in a panic, and her heartbeat was completely irregular. She seemed to know what Lin Mo wanted to do, but she was also uncertain about this expectation.
But Su Qixi still closed her eyes in a hurry, forgetting to ask Lin Mo what she meant by closing her eyes! She also forgot that she was still angry with her! She even forgot that Lin Mo had a “cold, hard heart.”
At this moment, her mind was in chaos, and her heart was both nervous and full of anticipation.
Without her sight, her other five senses became surprisingly sensitive.
She could hear the wind blowing past her ears, the buzzing of insects in the field, and feel the slightly hot pad of Lin Mo’s finger on her chin. Even the way Lin Mo’s breath got closer and the touch of her hair brushing against her face was so clear.
Su Qixi’s breathing began to quicken, and her body felt a little weak. Her hands were resting on Lin Mo’s legs, and now they were so tense that her knuckles turned white.
She tilted her head, waiting for the person who was getting closer to make a move.
Until their breaths intertwined, full of the other person’s scent. Until the breath from their closeness made her skin tremble.
Su Qixi felt dazed and couldn’t think anymore. Suddenly, a soft sensation pressed down on her lips. At that moment, it was as if an electric current exploded, spreading through her limbs and bones. The softness gently kneaded her, moving across her lips, the corners of her mouth, and her chin, then returning to her lips.
Lin Mo playfully bit her gently, and Su Qixi’s body couldn’t help but tremble. She raised her hands to grab Lin Mo’s clothes in front of her chest to vent the unfamiliar feelings that came like a landslide.
She wanted more, and more…
Su Qixi tried to respond. The fragrant, creamy sensation on her tongue, and the deep desire entangled under her nose.
She trembled and reached out with both hands to hug Lin Mo tightly. A soft moan escaped from her lips, which were pressed tightly together.
Everything had reached a climax.
Lin Mo knew she couldn’t go any further. She slowed down, from the frantic desire to possess the other person, to a slow tasting, and then slowly withdrew.
Holding her head with both hands, Su Qixi’s eyes were hazy, like a sea demon inviting her in.
Lin Mo’s breathing hitched. She took a deep breath to suppress the desire in her body, pressed her forehead against Su Qixi’s, and asked in a husky voice, “Did you like it?”
Su Qixi’s face was flushed. She nodded very slightly. “I liked it. I want more.”
Lin Mo: “…You can’t have more.” This thing was easy to get out of hand.
Su Qixi: “…”
Rejected, Su Qixi was very unhappy, so she started to pick a fight again. “Didn’t you say it was your first kiss? You’re more skilled than me. Are you lying?”
Lin Mo was stunned. “???”
Su Qixi put on a straight face. “You’re still pretending to be innocent.”
Lin Mo covered her mouth and put her hand on her forehead. “Wait, you’ve confused me. You were angry the other day because I didn’t kiss you, right? Are you angry today because I kissed you?”
Su Qixi: “…”
Looking at Su Qixi’s changing expression, Lin Mo chuckled, pulled her back into her arms, and hugged her tightly. She said, “I’m just teasing you. I just wanted to make your chattering little mouth quiet. And to explain, it was my first kiss, but I’m a quick learner.”
Su Qixi’s face became even redder.
“But, what is learned from books is always shallow. You have to experience it yourself.”
Su Qixi was lost in the beautiful afterglow of the sunset…
When Lin Mo and Su Qixi returned, they happened to run into Qiu Mingyi, who had returned defeated.
Lin Mo was radiant. She asked him, “Didn’t your date go well?”
Qiu Mingyi: “…The VJ said we couldn’t use our own money for a date, only the profits from the store.” Qiu Mingyi’s feelings at the time were understandable. But how could he use the store’s profits without the consent of the others?
Lin Mo had expected this. She patted him on the shoulder and said, “Actually, the scenery behind the mountain is also very nice.”
But it was already dark now. Although the small path was lit by elegant and small streetlights, Qiu Mingyi looked at the end of the path, which seemed to lead into darkness.
At this time, there was no need to go. He sighed. “It’s so late. If we go to the back, we’ll be frozen like dogs. Only a fool would go.”
Lin Mo: “…” Thank you very much.
The few of them walked back together. Zhuo Zitao and Su Qixi were walking behind. Seeing Su Qixi’s rosy, charming, and seductive look, Zhuo Zitao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. This was a clear sign of progress!
Her curiosity was piqued. She leaned in close to Su Qixi’s ear and whispered, “Did you two… do it… in the back?”
Su Qixi paused, then her eyes widened as she looked at Zhuo Zitao, as if she couldn’t believe that the elegant and intellectual Zhuo Zitao would ask such a suggestive question.
Then she thought about the leaky pavilion in the back. What would happen if they really did it there?
No, now was not the time to think about this. She couldn’t help but lightly slap Zhuo Zitao. “We just kissed, don’t say anything crazy.” If they were really going to do it, it would be her first time. How could it be so casual?
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed Su Qixi became.
Zhuo Zitao said regretfully, “Oh, so it was just a kiss! Then why are you so shy? What’s so embarrassing about a kiss? You’ve kissed people in movies before!”
Su Qixi then realized that she had been tricked into talking by Zhuo Zitao, but she was in a good mood now, so she didn’t pursue it. She giggled and said to Zhuo Zitao, “Senior, kissing is so comfortable!”
Zhuo Zitao: “…” What? Your proud persona can evolve into a little pervert?
Su Qixi was such a simple girl! Zhuo Zitao deeply felt that she was an experienced driver, but even she was so red-faced by her words. She glared at Lin Mo. It’s all your fault! Then, she said to Su Qixi, “What’s so comfortable about this kind of thing! Ha.”
Su Qixi immediately looked at her with a look of pity and said, “Don’t you understand, Senior? I didn’t think there was anything comfortable about it when I was filming before. It was just skin to skin. Ugh~” When she said this, she even showed a little disgust at the memory. But then she suddenly held her face with both hands and said with a look of longing, “But today I learned that you have to have a connection.”
As if remembering something, her face became even redder. She whispered to Zhuo Zitao, “Could it be that Senior Qiu’s skills aren’t good?”
Zhuo Zitao choked. “…I feel like you’re showing off?”
Su Qixi gave a brilliant and innocent smile. “I am!” She skipped happily away.
Zhuo Zitao: “…” I’m so angry!!! =皿=
Lin Mo and Qiu Mingyi, who were walking in front, saw Su Qixi skipping away happily. Then they saw Zhuo Zitao looking very unhappy, walking at a fast pace and passing them. She even glared at both of them as she passed.
Lin Mo: “???”
Qiu Mingyi: “???”
Lin Mo asked with a little uncertainty, “Why did it look like she was glaring at me?”
Qiu Mingyi: “I also think she was glaring at me? But I didn’t provoke her!”
Lin Mo was a little unconvinced. “You always oppose her. It’s been so long since we went out. Isn’t it normal for her to be angry? I think she was definitely glaring at you, and I was just an innocent bystander.”
Qiu Mingyi: “…Hehe. That glare was clearly aimed directly at you. She’s not blind. You must have offended her.”
Lin Mo felt a pang of sadness. “Senior, I even helped you this morning.”
Qiu Mingyi also felt a pang of sadness. “I was almost broken up with my couple.”
Lin Mo: “Senior, you’re crossing the bridge after crossing the river. Without my little provocation, you might have really been broken up with your couple today!”
Qiu Mingyi: “Oh, thank you very much!”
After they finished talking, they looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
The matter was settled. Lin Mo helped carry the goods. When they were about to enter Moke Ju, Lin Mo finally couldn’t help but whisper to Qiu Mingyi, “That legitimate website you mentioned the other day…”
Qiu Mingyi turned his head to look at her suddenly. His eyes widened, and he asked jealously, “Did you two make progress so quickly?”
He felt so sour and so jealous. He scooted closer to Lin Mo and asked, “Tell me, what did you do?”
Lin Mo thought for a moment and finally summarized, “If you use my method, you might get beaten up by Senior Zhuo.”
Qiu Mingyi took a deep breath. This person!!!
With a feeling of resentment, the two of them delivered the goods to the warehouse.
On the way back, Lin Mo hadn’t given up and whispered to him, “The website you mentioned…”
Qiu Mingyi scoffed. “Is that a legitimate website? I’m an upright person. I won’t give you a dodgy website.”
Lin Mo: “…” The dodgy website is exactly what I want.
