My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 47
Dating can be a very practical way for couples to deepen their relationship.
Su Qixi had liked Lin Mo for many years. In her opinion, she even felt that she had fallen in love with Lin Mo at first sight.
You know, when she was in the alley, Su Qixi was actually suffering from a serious mental illness.
A person who had lost the will to live still followed Lin Mo home. It was obvious that the first time she saw Lin Mo, her feelings for her were extraordinary.
Of course, it took her a long time to get over it, but there’s no denying that she was able to get through it because of Lin Mo.
She loved Lin Mo so, so much. She loved her so much that she wanted to give herself to her on the day she graduated from high school.
She loved her so much that just by looking at her, she felt like the world was full of hope.
She loved her so much that after Lin Mo left, she could still not forget the heartbreaking, suffocating despair.
This love was nurtured during their three years together and solidified during the eight years they were apart.
Su Qixi knew that she resented, was angry, and was furious, but she never stopped loving such a good person as Lin Mo. So, when they first contacted each other, her mind was blank, but her body had already reacted naturally.
The ecstatic trembling excitement, the urge to scream to the sky. The acting that she couldn’t completely suppress became the first piece of “candy” for the Qilin CP fans.
She wanted to meet her, wanted to meet her, wanted to meet her…
Xiong Jingjing’s hostility probably started at that moment. How could Xiong Jingjing not investigate a person who could make Su Qixi lose her composure with a single phone call?
Of course, the reason for saying all this is that Su Qixi realized that the happiness of being together is different from the love that is only hidden in her heart.
She understood the pain of unrequited love, and she also understood the happiness of loving someone.
However, the miracle of mutual love brings with it a dreamy and unrealistic sense of happiness.
In just seven days, she had surrendered. They hadn’t officially established a relationship, but they were already close and intimate. Dating laid the foundation for their relationship and gave Su Qixi a down-to-earth feeling.
Happiness was no longer something ethereal. Dating deepened the intimacy and trust between them.
This was probably a level that could not be reached by just a physical intimacy like kissing!
Therefore, after they left the horse ranch, the feeling between them was obviously different.
Zhou Ping, who was in the back seat with the camera, was very curious as he watched Su Qixi, who was in a great mood while driving.
It was impossible to record a horse galloping up close without a professional cameraman.
Zhou Ping had been holding the camera, recording some simple long shots from a distant resting tent. The back view of the two of them embracing on the horse in the painting-like sunset was naturally recorded as a key shot.
But he always felt that he must have missed something. Looking at the sweetness on Senior Su’s face now, she looked like a newlywed wife.
Zhou Ping felt that he must have missed something! But it didn’t matter. He was just a small-time VJ.
Su Qixi, who was the driver, was very happy at this moment. She seemed to have found the true meaning of happiness. She became gentler with the date today. She drove the car to the last stop of their date, a restaurant in Mingcheng that was called a three-star tire restaurant.
Therefore, Su Qixi had to drive the car back to Mingcheng from the horse ranch.
They had spent a few hours on the road alone today, but Su Qixi was in a good mood and was very excited.
As the weather gradually got darker and the streetlights turned on, Su Qixi started to get nervous. She was a new driver, and unlike the great visibility during the day, the road conditions at night were not as clear.
Fortunately, Lin Mo by her side could always provide a sense of security in time. She gave verbal reminders along the way, which helped Su Qixi calm down and slowly adapt to the road conditions at night.
Mingcheng was not big. In fact, that restaurant was not a real three-star tire restaurant, but the reason it had this name was that the head chef was from a legitimate three-star restaurant.
Su Qixi was able to get a table there thanks to her celebrity status.
When they arrived, they found that the restaurant was located in a bustling area, so it was difficult to park. Fortunately, Lin Mo had already discussed with Zhou Ping on the road that they would not be filming tonight. Zhou Ping took over the car at the entrance of the restaurant and drove to find a parking space.
As soon as they got out of the car, a waiter greeted them at the door.
Probably because it was in a busy area, the view outside the street was not very good, so the restaurant was covered with dark curtains. This made the already inconspicuous restaurant very easy for guests to miss.
Only the sign at the entrance had a not-so-bright light, which couldn’t attract people on the side of the road at all.
Fortunately, the restaurant had a good reputation. After all, Mingcheng was not a first-tier city. Many luxury brands had not considered moving in, let alone a famous three-star tire restaurant. Therefore, even though it was only a restaurant with a three-star chef’s name, it had made a name for itself in Mingcheng, and guests made reservations continuously.
After entering the restaurant, they found that the layout was clean and neat, without too much decoration. The tables and chairs were made of wood, but you could tell they were carefully selected, simple, and elegant.
The kitchen was in the restaurant, and it was an open kitchen. Guests could see the entire process of making each dish if they wanted to.
Because they only accepted private customized menus at night, they didn’t accept a la carte and simple meals. The chef customized the menu, and what you ate depended on the ingredients of the day. A set menu took about two hours, and most of the people who came to eat here were couples and friends.
When Su Qixi came in, no one noticed her at first.
Until the first person who discovered Su Qixi let out a gasp, but they only watched from a distance and didn’t swarm her like fans.
The waiter led them through the hall and found a small table for two. After pulling out the chairs, they led Su Qixi and Lin Mo to their seats and considerately poured them warm water.
After pouring the water, they retreated to the side, leaving enough space for the two of them.
Seeing Lin Mo looking around with curiosity, Su Qixi explained, “This restaurant doesn’t have a menu. The owner decides the menu for the day.”
Lin Mo nodded. It was quite a novelty. “That’s interesting.”
Su Qixi then whispered to Lin Mo, “Is there anything else you want to eat? I can take you.”
Lin Mo looked at her gently. “We definitely can’t eat any more tonight, but no rush. After the filming is over.”
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Su Qixi nodded happily. “Yes, we still have a lot of time.” Yes! They still had so much time. It had only been a week. The filming would end in three more weeks. When it was over, she would take Lin Mo to her side.
She would take Lin Mo skydiving, mountain climbing…
Taste all kinds of challenges and eat all kinds of delicacies. Of course, she would also take her to see all the corners of the world…
Su Qixi thought happily and naturally asked for Lin Mo’s opinion. The two of them chatted softly, and soon the first appetizer was served.
“Hello, the appetizer is crab meat and cucumber salad.”
For this kind of set menu, the portions were very small, basically a mouthful. The main thing was the exquisiteness. Fortunately, their reputation was good, and the craftsmanship was indeed great.
The crab meat, which was bought on the same day, was sweet and delicate. Combined with the freshness of the cucumber, it was very appetizing.
After the appetizer came the oyster sashimi, drizzled with the chef’s special cucumber sauce. It didn’t hide the deliciousness of the oyster itself. One bite and it was cool and smooth.
While waiting for the third dish, Su Qixi realized that today’s menu was mostly sashimi. She was a little nervous and said to Lin Mo, “I’m sorry, can you eat sashimi?” She hadn’t considered this at first. Just now, she saw that Lin Mo seemed to be uninterested in sashimi, which made Su Qixi realize what she had overlooked.
Lin Mo smiled and patted her head reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I can eat raw food. And that last one was really delicious.”
This made Su Qixi heave a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing she hadn’t failed.
Fortunately, the next sashimi dish was salmon, mushroom, and kale, which was easy for beginners to accept. Because they chose the belly part of the fish, the fat was rich, and the taste was excellent.
Lin Mo was indeed not picky about food. She ate whatever was served.
Su Qixi looked at her expression, which was the same no matter what she ate, and she really couldn’t tell if she liked it or not. She remembered that Lin Mo had been like this since high school, and she couldn’t help but smile again.
Lin Mo looked at her strangely. “What are you laughing at?”
Su Qixi: “You don’t seem to show any particular preference for what you eat. I used to try to figure out what you like, but I could never understand.”
Lin Mo also found it funny. “Sorry, I’m used to it.”
Su Qixi was stunned. She didn’t understand why a normal person would have such a habit.
But soon, a new dish was served, interrupting Su Qixi’s train of thought. The two of them tasted the dishes and chatted casually.
Lin Mo listened quietly and was able to give responses in time.
Su Qixi’s topics were all over the place, from the clothes she liked recently to the trivial details of her life, like how strict Xiong Jingjing was. It was as if the two of them had returned to the years they lived together, where they could talk about many meaningless topics every day. This solidified their relationship into the ordinary daily life.
In this kind of casual chat, they ended their date for the day.
Su Qixi didn’t have a good alcohol tolerance. A little fruit wine made her a little dizzy.
Fortunately, Lin Mo had called Zhou Ping before they left. So, as soon as they came out, they saw Zhou Ping’s minivan parked at the entrance of the restaurant.
At the same time, many other guests were also leaving. Even if they didn’t swarm her, they couldn’t help but take out their phones to take a few pictures and send them to their friends.
Lin Mo was afraid that something might happen, so she quickly took Su Qixi to the back seat and then quickly sat beside Su Qixi herself.
Zhou Ping quickly stepped on the gas and drove toward Mokeju.
Seeing that the people who had been surrounding them had dispersed, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
Zhou Ping chuckled. “What for? Thanks to you helping me today, I might have been chased away by Senior Su long ago.”
Lin Mo shook her head, amused. “She wouldn’t.”
Zhou Ping didn’t agree or disagree, and Su Qixi, seeing that Lin Mo was only talking to Zhou Ping after getting in the car, felt a little sour. She leaned her head on Lin Mo’s shoulder and swayed with the car, complaining, “Talk to me.”
Lin Mo was indeed distracted by her voice, but she just told Su Qixi, “You’re tired, Xixi. Take a nap.”
Su Qixi then lay on Lin Mo’s lap and shook her head. “I’m not tired.” She looked at Lin Mo pitifully. “I’m very energetic right now.”
Lin Mo looked at her with suspicion and asked, “What’s 2 + 4?”
Su Qixi frowned, couldn’t figure it out for a moment, and said a little angrily, “I’m not drunk. That was fruit wine.”
Lin Mo: “…But the alcohol content is quite high.”
Su Qixi struggled to sit up, cupped Lin Mo’s cheeks with her hands, stared at her with her dark eyes, and said word for word, “I said I’m not drunk.”
To prove herself, she leaned forward and kissed Lin Mo’s cheek with a smack, asking, “Do you believe me now?”
After asking, she didn’t wait for Lin Mo’s answer and fell down and fell asleep again with a smack.
Lin Mo: “…” What does being drunk have to do with kissing?
Zhou Ping: “…”
Lin Mo was speechless and looked at Zhou Ping, who was driving in front.
Zhou Ping quickly explained, “I didn’t see anything! I’m driving.” Although it was obvious on camera today that Senior Su and Lin Mo were unusually close, they had never kissed directly on camera. Senior Su was so natural. Could it be that they had already confirmed their relationship in private?
Although Zhou Ping said he didn’t see anything, he was honestly thinking a lot in his mind.
Lin Mo found it amusing. “Since you’re filming with us, how could I think I could hide it from you?”
When Zhou Ping heard this, he was shocked! Was she admitting it? Therefore, Zhou Ping, suppressing his itching curiosity, pretended to be calm and asked Lin Mo, “So, you guys are really…”
Unexpectedly, Lin Mo shook her head and said, “We will be sooner or later.”
Zhou Ping: “…” They were already like this, and they weren’t?
Su Qixi slept all the way, and Lin Mo simply closed her eyes to rest.
When the three of them arrived at Mokeju, everyone in the store had already gone to bed. Lin Mo took Su Qixi directly back to her room, got her settled, and then went back to her own room to rest.
Early the next morning, Lin Mo got up and went downstairs to prepare.
Just like on the first day, she met Qiu Mingyi downstairs. When he saw Lin Mo, Qiu Mingyi greeted her first, “You’re up so early? Shouldn’t you rest more?”
Lin Mo saw the dark circles under his eyes and asked strangely, “I was on a date. Why are you more tired than me?”
Qiu Mingyi: “What are you talking about? I’m working from home, and you’re spiritually fulfilled.”
With the previous workload, this kind of tiredness was not strange. But in fact, after the production team got involved, the work was very relaxed.
Therefore, Lin Mo was skeptical.
Qiu Mingyi was anxious. “What’s with that look?”
Lin Mo found it amusing. “A look of disbelief! I feel like something must have happened yesterday that affected you?”
When Qiu Mingyi heard her say that, he could only sigh. “Someone had a fight.”
Lin Mo wasn’t surprised at all. “Qi Yushan and Yun Yue?”
Qiu Mingyi was shocked. His eyes widened as he looked at Lin Mo and asked, “How did you know?”
As Lin Mo took out the ingredients for making a cake, she was going to make something simple because she got up late today. She was also able to keep up with the conversation. “Qingqing and Jiang Lun’s problem isn’t that big. Although Qingqing always ignores Jiang Lun, their interactions haven’t decreased. I think their problem shouldn’t be irreparable.”
Qiu Mingyi nodded as he listened. Lin Mo continued, “But your and Senior Zhuo’s problem is not small. The person you called ‘the one who got away,’ whether it’s real or not, exists, and this person is indeed very important to Senior Zhuo.”
Qiu Mingyi nodded hard. “You’re so right.”
Lin Mo: “The key is that your communication is not good, but you two are very restrained with your feelings. You even go to the warehouse to fight. Therefore, it’s unlikely that you would fight during the live broadcast, right?”
“But Qi Yushan and Yun Yue are different! The two of them haven’t talked much since the beginning of the show. They don’t even care if they don’t get much screen time. This shows that for Yun Yue, there’s no need to turn back to Qi Yushan. Their relationship is even more strained than what we see. And it’s been in a non-outbreak stage. A bad relationship, where even fighting is a luxury, will be a big problem once it erupts.”
Qiu Mingyi quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. The live broadcast was stopped halfway through yesterday. There were so many trending topics. You must have seen them, right?”
Lin Mo lowered her head guiltily.
Qiu Mingyi: “??? You didn’t see them? Are you two really so immersed in your date?”
But Qiu Mingyi was only surprised for a moment. He sighed and continued, “I don’t know what happened yesterday, but Yun Yue suddenly got angry and slapped Yushan. It was a live broadcast! They couldn’t even cut it. The comments went crazy. There were three trending topics, and they were all ‘explosive.'”
“You might not know this since you’re not in the entertainment industry, but between the two of them, Yushan has more fans. Yun Yue hasn’t managed her fans well for many years. After she went solo, Qi Yushan started to rise. Her current fans have been with her for many years. They are very loyal and have strong combat power. As for Yun Yue’s fans, the reason they’re still here is probably that they’re all Buddhist.”
Lin Mo was also a little shocked, thinking it was just a fight. It turned out they got physical.
After listening to Qiu Mingyi’s brief explanation of the two’s situation, Lin Mo sighed, “The difference in combat power is not small. And she was the one who made the first move.”
Qiu Mingyi: “Yes! Sigh, I don’t know what Yushan said to her that made her so angry. Then Director Feng quickly cut the live broadcast and inserted your live broadcast.”
Lin Mo’s hand froze. “…Inserted ours? When?”
Qiu Mingyi: “During lunch, I think?”
Lin Mo: “…” She silently took out her phone and saw that, sure enough, it was also on the trending topics! It was of her and Su Qixi in the hot spring pool, but the camera was far away, so it couldn’t capture any clear images.
But to be honest, the footage that was broadcast was already very ambiguous.
Two women playing in the water, their skin touching when they got close, and the ambiguous whispers. Although they were far away, you could still vaguely see their intimate gestures.
It was said that this video gained them 100,000 new fans last night.
Qiu Mingyi quickly explained, “It was an emergency. It was only live for three minutes.”
Lin Mo was very glad at this moment. “Fortunately, I have strong self-control. Otherwise, if it was three minutes of unspeakable things, what would we do?” By the way, was Zhou Ping’s coughing a sign? However, although Director Feng said he wouldn’t live stream, the contract said they could live stream at any time. Lin Mo could only accept it.
The situation in the store was more urgent. Lin Mo asked, “So, what was the solution for their fight yesterday?”
Qiu Mingyi: “You guys came back late yesterday, and Director Feng didn’t have time to inform you. It’s naturally impossible for the two of them to continue as partners. The internet is in an uproar now. Director Feng’s idea is to mix everyone up and re-pair them.”
Lin Mo chuckled. “He’s still in the mood. In fact, the way our groups interact has already stabilized these days. So, a change was going to happen sooner or later. This is just an opportunity.”
Qiu Mingyi sighed, “You, you see through everything. Why aren’t you in this industry?”
Lin Mo: “…”
Qiu Mingyi sighed for a while but didn’t have any ideas.
After the broadcast started at 8 a.m., everything was as usual. They had breakfast and opened the store. But Qi Yushan wasn’t there this morning, and Yun Yue was always doing things in the corner, not getting much screen time.
But the comments were still a mess. Even though there were four CP groups watching, they were still taken over by Qi Yushan’s fans. The internet was full of people scolding Yun Yue, and Wu Yu’s “house” had also “collapsed” because of this slap. The CP fans had already dispersed last night.
Feng Ye looked at the comments and bit the bullet to broadcast until the store closed at noon. He quickly pulled the guests out and said in a serious manner, “Considering that one week has passed, and with the addition of our new guest, Li Xinling, our production team has decided after careful consideration to change up the partners.”
Su Qixi had naturally heard about what happened yesterday, so she didn’t resist.
But the silent CP fans in the comments erupted…
[Why?! Someone else’s CP collapsed, and now they’re breaking up my CP to clean up the mess???]
[I just became a Qilin fan yesterday. The two of them haven’t even talked today, and now you’re breaking them up? Be a decent person, director!]
[Those who break up my CP, die!!!]
Looking at the noisy comments that even pushed out Qi Yushan’s fans’ curses, Feng Ye finally felt relieved.
However, Qi Yushan on the scene was very dispirited, and Yun Yue on the other side seemed to be spaced out. Looking at the two of them, Feng Ye felt a headache coming on again.
