My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 39

“Ah, my head hurts so much,” Wu Qingqing said pitifully, leaning against the bar and holding her head.

After a night, the feeling of a hangover came as expected.

Zhuo Zitao also frowned and held her head, starting to seriously think, “Did we say anything last night when we were drinking so late?”

Wu Qingqing’s memory only went back to the embarrassing stories they told before getting drunk. She had no memory of what they said after that.

Both of them were afraid of making a fool of themselves when they were drunk, so they frowned and thought hard.

In the end, their minds were still blank. The two of them hesitantly looked at Lin Mo, who was busy working on the side.

Lin Mo woke up early every day and started making cakes, so it could be said that she was the busiest person in the entire store. But even if the others wanted to help, they didn’t know where to start. They could only help her wash the tools by the kitchen sink.

Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to bother her in the morning. But at this moment, Zhuo Zitao was a little too curious. She softly called, “Mo Mo ah~!”

Lin Mo’s hand that was squeezing the cream trembled. She looked up helplessly at Zhuo Zitao. “Senior, be serious. Don’t call me that. It’s too sappy.”

Zhuo Zitao acted spoiled and said, “You let Qixi call you Mo Mo, so why don’t you let us? You’re playing favorites.”

Lin Mo now knew that Zhuo Zitao might be a little crazy in real life, but she couldn’t say that. So, she calmly changed the topic. “Senior, don’t you want to know what happened yesterday when you were drunk?”

Something did happen!!!

As soon as Lin Mo said that, Zhuo Zitao immediately realized that she must have made a fool of herself.

Her heart thumped as she asked, “W-what did I say?”

Lin Mo put down the piping bag in her hand, looked up and thought seriously, then repeated Zhuo Zitao’s passionate words from yesterday in a calm and emotionless voice. “You said… you said: ‘Qiu Mingyi is a fool. He said I have a first love? Does a first love count as a first love when I was so young? How could I not know who I like? What gives him the right to run his mouth?'”

The more Zhuo Zitao listened, the more shocked she became. She felt like she was about to confess to Qiu Mingyi.

So she asked in fear, “What… what happened after that? What was that fool Qiu Mingyi’s reaction?” At this moment, she didn’t know if she was more full of anticipation or fear.

Lin Mo scoffed. “He passed out before you did. What do you think his reaction was?”

Zhuo Zitao: “…” {Her face immediately became a grimace}

Wu Qingqing asked timidly, “What about me? What did I say?”

Lin Mo thought for a moment. “You said, ‘I can walk by myself!!!'”

Wu Qingqing: “…” She guessed that she must have been drunk and thought she was meeting with Jiang Lun’s agent that one time.

Zhuo Zitao adjusted her mood and asked Lin Mo, “You weren’t drunk?”

Lin Mo shook her head. “I wasn’t.”

Wu Qingqing covered her face. “Why weren’t you drunk?”

Lin Mo was speechless. “Last night, all of you were pouring alcohol into yourselves. I’m not stupid. Why would I drink with you? That was liquor!”

Zhuo Zitao: “…”

Wu Qingqing: “…”

Lin Mo’s tone was as if she was saying, “All of you are fools, but I’m not.”

The contrast was so strong that Zhuo Zitao and Wu Qingqing were speechless. Fortunately, two people came down the stairs at this moment, breaking the awkward silence.

It was Qi You Shan and Yun Yue. Yun Yue went downstairs with a blank expression, and walked away with a blank expression.

Qi You Shan came down with a silly grin and followed her, calling her “sweetheart, sweetheart.”

Zhuo Zitao: “…”

Wu Qingqing: “…”

They felt like the world had changed after they woke up.

Not long after, Qiu Mingyi and Jiang Lun came down. The two of them had drunk a whole bottle of liquor last night, as well as some beer and wine.

They drank and cried.

Qiu Mingyi sobbed, “I don’t have a wife anymore! I won’t be able to eat spaghetti anymore!”

Jiang Lun hugged his shoulder and also cried. “At least you once had one! It’s not like me…” Then he started singing a heartless song sorrowfully.

Lin Mo, as the only sober person, really watched a great show yesterday.

As soon as Qiu Mingyi came downstairs and saw the clean courtyard, he exclaimed, “Who, who! Who did this good deed?”

Jiang Lun immediately cooperated. “There are still good people in this world!”

Lin Mo was really about to be amused by these two people. Zhuo Zitao said with disdain, “Who else could it be but Lin Mo? She’s been up for a long time.”

Qiu Mingyi turned to look at Lin Mo. “Mo ah~”

Lin Mo was disgusted by Qiu Mingyi’s nauseating way of calling her. She couldn’t help but complain, “…It’s no surprise that you two are a couple.”

Qiu Mingyi blushed and looked embarrassed. Jiang Lun asked enviously on the side, “What about Qingqing and me?”

Lin Mo looked at him speechlessly. “Are you two a couple?”

Jiang Lun covered his chest. “You, you, my heart hurts so much.”

Just as he said that, Yun Yue and Qi You Shan came from the other side. Qi You Shan was still shouting, “Sweetheart, sweetheart.”

When Su Qixi came down, she saw this scene. She didn’t know how much liquor she had drunk yesterday. She woke up at 8 a.m. The alarm had gone off, but she hadn’t heard a single sound.

When she came down, she realized she was the last one there. She immediately felt very embarrassed. “I’m so sorry, I overslept.”

When Su Qixi came down, the live stream was just turned on. When they heard her apologize, the netizens were curious.

[Caught it.]

[Ah ah ah ah, I’m not the first one again.]

[Apologizing as soon as the live stream starts? What did she do?]

[Did Su Su oversleep today?]

Su Qixi’s hair wasn’t even styled properly today. She was wearing a V-neck pink sweater and light-colored wide-leg jeans, but her clothes weren’t neat. A few strands of hair were sticking up, showing that she had indeed come down in a hurry.

Qi You Shan happened to pass by and heard her apologize. She scoffed, “Senior, we were only 2 or 3 minutes earlier than you.” Everyone overslept together.

Zhuo Zitao even teased Su Qixi. “Your Mo Mo was the first one to come down. She cleaned the courtyard by herself, made breakfast, and prepared the front of the store for us.”

Wu Qingqing nodded. “So, Senior Su, you don’t have to be embarrassed. We have no right to say anything to you.”

Su Qixi said, “Ah,” and covered her face. “Don’t always mix me and her up.” Then she shyly put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, her face flushed, and her toes drawing circles on the ground.

She then said in a (sweet and soft) voice, “We’re just classmates.”

The guests: “…” Can you say that with more conviction?

[I’m embarrassed for Su Su. What kind of “just classmates” is this? It’s so mushy.]

[It’s like she’s saying, we’re classmates, but we’re more than just classmates.]

[Hahahaha, it can also be understood as: We’re classmates, but don’t believe it.]

Lin Mo felt that if she said anything more, she would reveal everything, so she interrupted with a smile. “Since everyone is here, please take a seat! I’ll bring you breakfast.”

Qi You Shan almost cried. “What kind of godsend teammate are you!!!”

Wu Qingqing also pounced on her. “I’m so sorry, I’ll definitely wake up early tomorrow.”

[Hahaha, I’m dying from laughing at these two people.]

[Did they drink last night?]

[Not only did they drink, but they probably drank a lot.]

[But seriously, isn’t Miss Piggy a little too capable?]

[If I had a roommate like this, I’d give her 3,000 yuan every month and she wouldn’t have to pay rent or utilities.

[You’re dreaming, upstairs.]

Su Qixi also shyly glanced at Lin Mo. She actually remembered a little that she had talked a lot to Lin Mo last night, but she couldn’t remember what she said.

She also remembered Lin Mo sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the phone and seeming to be talking to someone.

The first thing Su Qixi saw when she woke up in the morning was the caller ID on her phone—Xiong Jingjing.

Su Qixi knew that Xiong Jingjing didn’t like Lin Mo, so she didn’t think that Lin Mo was talking to Xiong Jingjing yesterday. After all, Xiong Jingjing’s call record was more than 10 minutes long!

Xiong Jingjing couldn’t possibly talk to Lin Mo for that long. Su Qixi didn’t think about it anymore.

She sat down with everyone in a daze and saw Lin Mo considerately serving everyone a thick, gooey substance.

“What is this?” Qiu Mingyi looked at the thick, gooey substance in the clear cup that came with a spoon.

Lin Mo: “Kudzu root.”

Qi You Shan turned the cup and asked, “Why are we eating this?”

Lin Mo smiled faintly. “It’s for hangovers.”

“Oh?” Jiang Lun said curiously, “I usually drink milk. They say milk can reduce 40% of the alcohol concentration in your blood, so it’s a great hangover cure.”

Lin Mo explained as she brought the food to the table. “Yes, milk is great. Kudzu root is a traditional Chinese medicine hangover cure. I think it’s good too, so I changed it up for you. I can get you milk if you don’t like it.”

“No, no, no, this is fine, this is fine.” Qi You Shan quickly waved her hand.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have no right to complain, no right at all.” Wu Qingqing also said.

Jiang Lun quickly explained, “I wasn’t asking you to pour me milk, Sister Lin, please sit down!” Who would dare to ask Lin Mo to do anything? They would be the enemy of everyone.

A group of people who knew they were late and had food brought to them by someone else couldn’t help but shrink back.

[Hahaha, these two are so funny.]

[Moon, just forgive the cub! She’s so funny. Life will be more exciting with her around.]

[Ah hahahahahaha]

Everyone gathered around the table to eat breakfast. Although Lin Mo had made some breakfast in her free time, she didn’t have much time to make it a feast. She simply made some sandwiches, with kudzu root powder, and also boiled some eggs.

Sitting around the table, the embarrassing stories from yesterday brought the few of them closer together. Su Qixi was still happy and nervous about the rapid development of her relationship with Lin Mo yesterday.

Lin Mo sat quietly by Su Qixi’s side, eating her sandwich one bite at a time.

She had promised Xiong Jingjing yesterday that she wouldn’t do anything reckless. Although her relationship with Su Qixi had successfully progressed, with the cameras and live stream on, Lin Mo was indeed more careful.

“Is anyone there?”

At that moment, a knock came from outside the door. A girl’s voice was clear and very powerful.

Su Qixi blinked her eyes and felt that the voice was a little familiar.

[Who’s here?]

[Who is it? This voice is so familiar!]

[Ah? Could it be Li Xinling?]

[Now that you mention it, it does sound like her.]

Lin Mo naturally heard that the voice belonged to the woman she had met at the supermarket that day. She stopped what she was doing. Qiu Mingyi, who was across from her, also stopped. “Someone’s here?”

Zhuo Zitao: “This voice is so familiar!”

Qiu Mingyi and Zhuo Zitao were both seasoned actors. Anyone who could work with them would naturally be a talented actor as well.

Wu Qingqing, who felt she was the youngest, quickly put down her food and said, “I’ll go get it.”

Lin Mo said with a smile, “You eat! Your heads must still be hurting, right? I’ll go get it!”

With that, Lin Mo stood up.

Wu Qingqing sniffled. “Lin Mo is so gentle. I like her like this.”

Jiang Lun, who was holding a sandwich, froze. “Woof???”

Lin Mo arrived at the courtyard and heard the wooden door being knocked on again. She quickened her pace to the door, moved the wooden lock to the side, and opened it.

The person outside the door came into view. As expected, it was the person she had met at the supermarket that day.

At this moment, she was wearing a dark cheongsam that showed off her perfect curves. Her long hair was tied up, and she wore a pearl hairpin. Her entire person exuded a gentle charm and a worldly sophistication from the Republic of China era.

After that day, Lin Mo had looked her up. Surprisingly, she was a rare action star. She had seen a few of her clips. Her movements were clean and crisp, and her posture was powerful and beautiful. She had debuted at the same time as Su Qixi and had filmed a TV drama together. Since then, the two of them had a good relationship and had kept in touch.

This was all the information Lin Mo could find. As for whether Li Xinling had those feelings for Su Qixi, as she had said, that was unknown.

At this moment, when she saw the person, Li Xinling’s eyes slowly turned to Lin Mo. She then pointed her index finger at Lin Mo and said loudly, “Why are you the one opening the door!!!”

Lin Mo smiled faintly and extended her hand. “It’s my honor.”

Li Xinling: “…” The curse she was about to say was suddenly stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say it, and her face turned red.

But Lin Mo was really too polite and dignified. Li Xinling couldn’t make a scene, so she could only suppress her frustration and shake Lin Mo’s hand.

Lin Mo made a gesture for her to come in. “This way.”

Li Xinling took a deep breath. It was a live broadcast, and she couldn’t be too rude.

[Ah ah ah ah, it’s really Xinling!]

[Ice cream is here!!!]

[It’s been so long since I last saw Xinling. The ice cream is about to melt.]

[Did she get out of the group?]

[When is the new drama going to be broadcast, ah ah ah ah!!!]

Li Xinling followed Lin Mo to the restaurant. The guests naturally stood up to greet and welcome her. In fact, everyone had already learned from their agents last night that the new guest was Li Xinling. It wasn’t a secret, and the production team didn’t try to hide it.

Therefore, no one was very surprised to see Li Xinling.

Li Xinling had a good reputation. She was a very hardworking person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to make a name for herself as an action star. One must know that she had been seriously injured while filming.

Speaking of which, Su Qixi had lent her money when she was injured.

Qiu Mingyi spoke first. “Xinling! Long time no see!”

Li Xinling bowed slightly and politely, then greeted them. “Senior Qiu, Senior Zhuo.”

After Lin Mo returned and sat down, Su Qixi finally remembered that Li Xinling had sent her a message saying she was coming. But because she had blocked her, they hadn’t been in touch for the past two days, and she had completely forgotten about it.

“What are you looking at?” Lin Mo’s voice suddenly rang in her ear. Her breath tickled her ear, and a little bit of numbness spread.

Su Qixi reached out and covered her ear, rubbing it hard.

She turned her head, her eyes wide, and looked at Lin Mo with an innocent expression. “What are you doing? It tickles.”

Lin Mo paused, surprised. “Is that your sensitive spot?”

Su Qixi’s face flushed. “W-w-w-what are you saying!”

The two of them were speaking softly, so the netizens could only see them whispering. At first, the couple fans were screaming, “Ah ah ah ah ah,” but after a few words, they heard Su Qixi say loudly, “What are you saying!!!”

The netizens became curious.

[What did Miss Piggy say?]

[Look at Su Su’s red face. It must be something intimate!]

[Does that mean I, a VIP, can’t listen?]

Li Xinling naturally heard it too. When she saw the two of them flirting in front of her, she immediately ran over and hugged Su Qixi, wrapping her arms around her neck and shouting possessively, “Qixi, why did you block me! Unblock me now!”

[Ah ah ah ah, they’re still so close.]

[Ice cream is still so good.]

[Ice cream debuted a little later than Su Qixi, but she still only has 5,000 fans. Hahahahaha.]

Ice cream: […We used to have over 10,000, thank you.]

[Are you talking about the time when you had 9987 fans? You were still 13 short.]

[Ice cream is probably the only couple whose main characters didn’t fall apart and who still often share sweet moments… but their fans still dropped. Hahahahahaha.]

Ice cream:

Su Qixi pulled her neck out of her hands and shouted, “I don’t want to talk to you!”

Ice cream: [They’re flirting!!!

Passerby: [Can’t ship them.]

Li Xinling: “…Why? I was doing it for your own good! For your own good!!!”

Lin Mo leaned against the table, propping her chin on her hand, watching the two of them. Her expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell if she was happy or not.

Su Qixi noticed her gaze and quickly explained, “I’m not that close with her. Don’t misunderstand!”

Li Xinling: “???” We’ve been friends for 8 years, and you’re telling me we’re not close?

As if she couldn’t believe Su Qixi would treat her like this, Li Xinling said sadly to Lin Mo, “What kind of demon are you? Show yourself!!!”

[I just realized Li Xinling is so funny.]

[Hahahaha, I’m dying.]

[This is the first time I’ve seen Miss Piggy’s face go blank.]

[After all, the other person is so silly that she doesn’t know how to react.]

Jiang Lun, who was beside Lin Mo, asked her gloatingly, “What are you thinking?” After all, out of the four couples that came in, Lin Mo was the only one who seemed to have it all together, and Su Qixi was surprisingly easy to please.

Before they came, everyone privately thought that Lin Mo’s couple would be the most awkward.

First, Lin Mo had no fans and didn’t spend much time in the entertainment industry, so she probably wasn’t as good at being in front of the camera as everyone else.

Second, Lin Mo had been gone for 8 years and hadn’t been in contact with Su Qixi. To be honest, any feelings would have faded in 8 years. Everyone thought the production team had found Lin Mo because she had been popular recently.

Third, Su Qixi’s personality had always been dignified and aloof. Perhaps she had a somewhat delicate and pampered side to her, so she always held herself with an air of elegance. This type of person was hard to win over.

But reality was a slap in the face. Although she wasn’t good at being in front of the camera, she seemed to be capable of everything and wasn’t afraid of the cameras at all. 8 years hadn’t made her subservient to Su Qixi. She was still graceful and elegant. Su Qixi seemed cold for a day or two, but she was surprisingly easy to win over. It had been 6 days since the show started, and Su Qixi was almost confessing to her herself. It was like she was winning over someone who was already won over.

How could Jiang Lun not be jealous? Now that Li Xinling was here, she must be jealous!!!

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo said calmly, “I’m calculating how many huskies are in our team.”

Jiang Lun: “Huskies? That doesn’t include me, right?”

Lin Mo: “You’re very confident.”

Jiang Lun: “…”

[Hahaha, is our Miss Piggy this rude now?]

[I love this kind of interaction between them!]

[Are you talking about mutual harm?]

Feng Ye was impressed that Li Xinling had already become so familiar with everyone. He clapped his hands. “As you can all see, Li Xinling will be joining us as a guest for a week.”

“At the same time, we will be releasing tasks at random. I hope everyone gets along well. This morning, as a newcomer, Xinling will be helping Lin Mo and learning from her.”

Su Qixi: “???” What does that mean? They’re already giving out tasks now? Is it to make fighting easier later?

Li Xinling sneered. “I don’t think Miss Piggy and I will get along.”

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. “I have no issues with any of Xiao Xi’s friends.”

Li Xinling choked. “…Are you made of cotton?” It felt like punching her only led to an empty, hollow feeling.

Li Xinling didn’t stand on ceremony and ate breakfast with everyone. She had a very easygoing personality and a very beautiful appearance, so she was the type of person who could get along with anyone. After breakfast, she didn’t feel out of place helping everyone clean up the dishes.

After a while, Jiang Lun went to open the door and started greeting the customers.

After they started working, Li Xinling stood beside Lin Mo and brazenly declared a challenge. “Do you know why the director wants us to work together?”

Lin Mo: “Why?”

Li Xinling: “Of course, it’s so we can have a fight. We’ll have a fight later. If I win, you leave Qixi. If I lose…”

Lin Mo was stunned. “Is that a good thing?”

[Hahahahahaha, that line is so great!]

[Is she admitting that she’s strong, or is she admitting that she’s with Su Su?]

[I’m shipping both. I’m shipping hard.]

Li Xinling gasped. “How dare you say that! Do you think you can beat me?”

Lin Mo wasn’t actually that confident, but she answered very calmly, “I have no doubt about that.”

Li Xinling: “…” She gritted her teeth and went to complain to Su Qixi.

Jiang Lun also came over. “Miss Piggy is going all out! She even made someone angry.”

Lin Mo was stunned. “I was being serious.”

Jiang Lun then told her, “Li Xinling has won championships in martial arts competitions. She’s not just a show-off.”

Lin Mo smiled. “Then I’m really looking forward to it.”

Jiang Lun ran away. “…” How terrifying. Jealousy makes people unrecognizable!

Li Xinling ran to Su Qixi. “I’m telling you, that person is so arrogant! She even wants to fight me. I’ll use one hand…”

Su Qixi said with a cold face, “Use one hand? Then you’ll die a miserable death.”

Li Xinling gasped, unable to believe what she was hearing. She said indignantly, “Has love blinded your eyes?”

Su Qixi still had a cold face. “I’m just rationally analyzing the outcome.”

Li Xinling asked, “What’s your basis?”

Su Qixi said faintly, “She fights men like she’s fighting a dog.”

Li Xinling’s confident voice suddenly became a little weaker. She asked Su Qixi uncertainly, “…Is she really that good?”

Su Qixi patted her on the shoulder.

The fans sitting around didn’t rush them and just watched the show, looking at one person for a while and then the other. They had already paid money, so whether they got their coffee or not wasn’t important. The main thing was to let them sit for a while longer.

Li Xinling was a little dazed, thinking about whether she should still fight her. Although Su Qixi was a little lovesick, she wouldn’t say things recklessly. The strength difference between men and women was so great that even Li Xinling wasn’t confident that she could beat a man with the same martial arts skills.

Li Xinling leaned over again. Su Qixi’s eyes darted around, and she pulled Li Xinling. “Follow me. I’ll teach you how to serve coffee to customers.”

Li Xinling: “…What’s there to learn?”

Su Qixi: “There’s definitely something to learn! First, which hand you use, left or right, and how many degrees you should bend. These are all things you need to know.”

Li Xinling was pulled away by Su Qixi, exclaiming in protest. Lin Mo, who was standing behind the cake display, frowned as she watched the two of them. Her cool eyes showed no emotion. When she saw Su Qixi reaching out to pull her, Lin Mo looked away, as if she didn’t want to see it.

“Jealous? Are you? Tsk tsk, that’s a sour taste.” Jiang Lun came over again, looking pleased with himself.

Lin Mo suddenly looked up at him. A smile bloomed on her expressionless face. Then she turned to the front hall and shouted, “Qingqing, come here.”

Wu Qingqing: “Coming!”

Jiang Lun: “!!!”

I’ve been good. Please spare me!!!
