My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 69

Everyone in the car stared intently at Lin Mo.

Jiang Lun whistled and asked Lin Mo, “Momo, do you think what Zhao Lin said makes sense?”

Zhao Lin was shocked. “…Why did he call her Momo, but use my full name? It seems there’s still room for improvement in my relationship with them.”

Lin Mo smiled and said, “Everyone is different. There are billions of people in this world. What kind of person wouldn’t exist?” In other words, the person Su Qixi described must exist.

Zhao Lin was very curious and asked Lin Mo, “But that doesn’t make sense! People aren’t animals without thoughts. You can’t just teach them something and expect them to follow a set path. People have emotions! They get happy when they see someone they like, and they get upset when they see someone they dislike. Isn’t it strange if a person never shows any negative emotions like weakness, frustration, anger, or arguments in front of their loved one?”

After Zhao Lin finished speaking, she noticed the entire car was silent and was immediately shocked. “I’m sorry, am I the only one who thinks that? Did I say something wrong again? I’m so sorry.”

Qiu Mingyi raised his hand and pressed it down, looking at her meaningfully. “No, you didn’t say anything wrong. I suddenly feel a lot of emotion.”

He had liked Zhuo Zitou for a long time and knew she had a “white moonlight” from her past. She had a relationship with that person. Zhuo Zitou’s ex was a woman.

So, when he married Zhuo Zitou, the gap between them wasn’t just about whether they had feelings for each other. It was also about whether he was even the gender she preferred.

But Qiu Mingyi had never mentioned any of this.

This marriage was hard-won. He carefully protected it, afraid that she would be unhappy or despise him. He wanted to show her his best side and didn’t dare to reveal the slightest bit of ugliness in his heart.

The misunderstandings grew deeper and deeper, to the point where they almost fell apart.

However, after joining the show, their relationship seemed to improve in their constant arguments and clashes.

She saw his grievances and the deep affection he had hidden for many years. She began to carefully hold his heart, and that’s how they were able to be where they were now.

In fact, Zhao Lin’s words, when you look at them from a different perspective, showed that honesty was also very important in a relationship.

Zhao Lin’s words were a bit blunt, but they also had their own logic.

Su Qixi: “But who doesn’t want to show their best side to their loved one?”

Zhao Lin didn’t know that everyone was thinking about themselves. She genuinely thought they were discussing what their ideal partners were like, so she spoke boldly. “That’s only for the initial stages. If you’re still like that when you’re getting ready to get married, it means you’ve only been together for half the time!”

“Half?” Everyone was confused.

Zhao Lin asked, “If you only see one side of a person, what about their other side? That other side must be in the time when you’re not together, right?”

Great wisdom often looks like foolishness.

At that moment, Qiu Mingyi suddenly felt that what Zhao Lin said wasn’t completely wrong. It was just too blunt and hit too close to home, which sometimes made it hard for people to accept.

[I feel like she has a point.]

[That’s our Zhao Lin for you.]

Jiang Lun raised an eyebrow and smiled, enjoying the drama. He shifted the focus to Lin Mo. He asked Lin Mo, “What do you think?”

Lin Mo didn’t deny it. She sat next to Su Qixi, silent since Zhao Lin started speaking. When she heard Jiang Lun’s question, she seriously asked Zhao Lin, “But this world has always been like this. Life and human nature are like the black and white pieces of a Go board. This world doesn’t just have white pieces; it also has black ones. White pieces can naturally bask in the sunlight and pursue happiness. But what about the black pieces? The black pieces were sentenced to be cast out from the beginning, unable to atone for their sins. But what if such a person falls in love with someone else? If she doesn’t try to hide herself well, what if the other person runs away?”

Zhao Lin lowered her head and thought for a long time, unable to say a word. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure out what it was.

Lin Mo smiled and said, “So, from the beginning, the black piece shouldn’t have fallen in love with someone else. That’s just adding another layer of sin to herself. But…” it’s not up to her.

Zhao Lin blinked. “Emotions aren’t controlled by logic. That’s something that can’t be helped, right?”

Lin Mo nodded. “So, deception will always exist. At least for the black pieces, it’s like that.”

Xia Zhen stood at the front of the bus, looking carefully at the question card in her hand. This question wasn’t from a fan; the production team had added it themselves.

After nearly 20 days of filming, with their eyes not being blind and the guests not trying to hide anything, everyone knew that these three couples were real.

So, the purpose of this question was to let each couple understand what their partner’s ideal partner was like. They could then compare it to their actual partner, which would create a bit of conflict and add to the show’s effect.

So how did this topic get so serious?

Xia Zhen quickly came out and said, “We’ve arrived at the supermarket! Please get off the bus, everyone.”

The topic ended there. The ambiguous words had no specific target. When it stopped, it stopped. No one wanted to continue this somewhat intense topic.

After they got off the bus, Xia Zhen gave everyone a mission card with a list of things they needed to buy. It also stated that after shopping, they could bring the items back to the bus, and the crew would send them back to the Ink Guest House.

After they finished shopping, they could go off on their own to buy a gift for the person they wanted to exchange a gift with that night.

Because it was a gift, and for the sake of surprise, it was best to go alone.

When they got off the bus, they naturally saw groups of fans standing at the supermarket entrance. This was already seriously affecting the customers coming in and out. In fact, the guests from The Guesthouse had been frequenting this supermarket a lot lately. Many fans had been waiting around, but it had never been this crazy.

There were more fans when the show first started, but it gradually died down. There were only a few fans waiting around, and they often didn’t get to see their idols. So later on, even the fans waiting around became fewer.

But today, there were at least a thousand people crowded at the supermarket entrance. To prevent a stampede, the supermarket had banned fans from entering. The police were even called in to manage the large groups of fans in the parking lot to prevent chaos. The fans who were further out were no longer allowed to come in this direction.

Fortunately, Lei Zhiming knew when to stop, and the fan groups also called for everyone to disperse in time.

Lin Mo and the others walked through the path created by the crowd and quickly reached the supermarket. Each of them took a shopping cart and began to get the items on their list.

Su Qixi followed Lin Mo. The two of them worked together to buy the things they needed and then went to the checkout counter. Since there were so many fans outside, the crew arranged for people to come in and push the carts so that Lin Mo and the others wouldn’t have to take the carts to the parking lot, which would increase the chances of an accident.

After they handed over the items, Lin Mo asked Su Qixi, “I’m going to buy a gift. What about you?”

Su Qixi smiled and said, “I’m not buying anything. I asked Bai Jin to bring one for me.”

Lin Mo was confused. “Bai Jin?”

Su Qixi was stunned and said, “Oh. You don’t know my assistant yet, do you? Bai Jin is a new assistant I hired two years ago. I had another assistant before, but she got married and quit after having a baby.”

Lin Mo nodded. “So, you already prepared a gift for me?”

Su Qixi was startled. She put her hands behind her back, looked at Lin Mo, and said, “Guess?”

She was mischievous and cute, her eyes were bright as if they could talk, and the corners of her mouth curved into a happy arc. She tilted her head slightly and looked at her in a challenging way.

She looked so adorable that it made you want to hug her and mess with her.

Lin Mo laughed, shook her head, and said, “I’m more excited about tonight’s gift than guessing.” Since she had prepared it in advance, it must be very thoughtful.

Su Qixi snorted and thought, at least I prepared a gift, and it’s a very, very thoughtful gift. But this guy can only buy something random from the supermarket as a return gift. What a loss!

So, she was a little annoyed and asked Lin Mo, “What are you going to buy?”

There weren’t many fans in the supermarket. To film the show, Zhao Lin’s fans didn’t dare to come in. They had been told in their group chat to protect Zhao Lin’s first variety show, as too many people would cause trouble for her and affect the filming.

It was true. Zhao Lin’s fans were numerous and crazy, but they were very obedient!

Except for a few “sasaeng” fans, there were really not many fans who snuck in. They all obediently stood at the entrance, just shouting loudly. Now that the guests were in the supermarket, there were no shouts from outside anymore.

Lin Mo had sighed at that moment. “Why are they fans? They should be in the army!”

At that time, Jiang Lun and the others laughed at Lin Mo but agreed with her. Wu Qingqing scolded him, “If they all join the army, we’ll lose our jobs.”

Lin Mo: “…”

And now, Lin Mo looked at Su Qixi, who was following her, and frowned with a smile. “I’m choosing a gift for you, and you’re following me?”

Su Qixi: “…It’s fine. You’re already in the doll section. I can’t not know what you’re getting me.”

Lin Mo sighed, turned her around, and pushed her away. She then leaned in close to her ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “That won’t work. Then there’s no surprise! Go! And help me lead Zhou Ping away.”

After she finished, Lin Mo looked at Zhou Ping, who was following her. “I’m going to choose a gift. Are you going to follow me, too?”

Zhou Ping: “Huh? Of course! I have to follow you!”

Lin Mo: “Then she’ll be able to see it on the live stream, won’t she?” Lin Mo’s finger poked Su Qixi’s head.

Su Qixi was very cooperative. “Yes! Then there won’t be any surprise at all!”

Zhou Ping was speechless. “It’s fine! I’m just filming for the editing later.”

Lin Mo: “But I have a feeling Director Feng will live-stream my part, so you should follow her instead!” With that, Lin Mo left Zhou Ping and quickly walked away.

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment. “Huh? Actress Su already has a camera crew!”

Su Qixi saw that he was about to chase Lin Mo and grabbed him. “She told you to follow me, so you should follow me!”

Zhou Ping said, “Huh?” again, looked at Su Qixi’s camera crew, and pleaded, “If I don’t get a good shot, my salary will be docked!”

Su Qixi smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll pay you double.”

Zhou Ping immediately became quiet. Double! Who wouldn’t want that!

Lin Mo walked to the doll section. She looked around. There were no customers and no one she was looking for.

But Lin Mo knew she was here.

Frowning, she called out, “Qi Youxuan?”

“Heh, you saw me so quickly. You really are a senior!”

Following the voice, Lin Mo turned around and looked at the life-sized yellow teddy bear in the most prominent spot. Qi Youxuan came out from behind the bear. She looked at Lin Mo and smiled happily.

Her smile was bright and seemed completely unaffected by the recent events. The person who was so sad yesterday was extremely happy today.

Lin Mo’s eyebrows slowly furrowed. She could clearly feel that Qi Youxuan had changed.

“Your hair?” Lin Mo looked at her and asked with confusion.

Qi Youxuan pulled up a strand of her hair and smiled happily, saying with admiration, “Your eyesight is too good! There are only a few white hairs, and you saw them all. I’ve been so sad these past two days that my hair turned a little white.”

Lin Mo: “…Okay, that’s a plausible reason. You just left yesterday. Why are you back today?”

Qi Youxuan was wearing cargo pants and a white T-shirt. She had a large crossbody bag on her. She looked nothing like her usual, exquisite self. She lowered her head, took out a small black and white panda from her bag, and handed it to Lin Mo. “Can I leave this with you? It’s inconvenient to carry it around, and it should stay here.”

The small panda was wearing a red traditional Chinese outfit and looked naive and cute.

Lin Mo frowned but still reached out to take it.

Her eyes unintentionally fell on the hem of Qi Youxuan’s pants.

Lin Mo: “There’s blood on it.”

Qi Youxuan looked down, clicked her tongue, and explained, “I killed a fish this morning. I might have accidentally gotten some on me.”

Lin Mo didn’t say anything else. She looked at the T-shirt that was not appropriate for the current weather and asked Qi Youxuan, “Do you need me to buy you some clothes?”

Qi Youxuan shook her head. “No, I’ll be leaving soon.”

Lin Mo nodded, her eyes just scanning over her, but she didn’t say anything more.

Seeing Lin Mo turn to leave, Qi Youxuan laughed and called out to her again. “Do you remember what I said yesterday?”

“Yeah.” Lin Mo nodded, sighed, and turned back to look at Qi Youxuan again.

“Even though you said you wouldn’t interfere in our business, I still hope you can take care of her.” Qi Youxuan stood next to the big yellow bear, leaning against its fat, round body. Qi Youxuan crossed her arms and said with a sense of entitlement.

Lin Mo smiled. “Since I refused yesterday, why do you think I’ll agree today?”

Qi Youxuan: “You’ll find out.”

Lin Mo tapped the panda on her palm and said with a smile, “Okay, then let’s wait until I find out.”

Qi Youxuan also smiled. She reached out and punched Lin Mo’s shoulder. “You’ll be satisfied with my performance.”

Lin Mo took a breath and reminded her, “You’re strong. Be gentle.”

Qi Youxuan was so scared that she quickly went over and rubbed her. “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”

She looked at the time and said, “I’m leaving.”

Lin Mo also turned to find Su Qixi. It was a simple and brief interaction. That was all.

“Huh? You’re back?” Su Qixi and the two cameramen had found a milk tea shop. The milk tea shop was located in a food street that led to the outside from a big door inside the supermarket.

When she saw Lin Mo coming over, she was surprised. Then she saw the panda doll in her hand.

Su Qixi pointed at the doll and said, “Is this, this, this for me?” She didn’t even wrap it up o(╥﹏╥)o

Lin Mo shook her head. “I just remembered that I also prepared a gift for you. I also called someone to have it delivered. This panda is just something someone left with me.”

Su Qixi’s eyes lit up. “You already prepared one for me?”

Lin Mo nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been preparing it for many years.”

Su Qixi was immediately in a better mood. She pulled Lin Mo into the milk tea shop and said, “Come on, come on! Your little sister will buy you some milk tea.”

Lin Mo’s heart trembled a little. She sighed. “Be serious.”

Su Qixi proudly held her head high. “I am very serious! Didn’t you tell me to call you ‘jiejie’ before? So, I’m your ‘meimei’.”

Lin Mo: “What did I…” Her words got stuck in her throat. She suddenly remembered a conversation they had the night before last.

It seemed like she had told her to call her ‘jiejie’ before…

No, is it okay to say things from the bedroom in the daytime?

“Come on, jiejie. What kind of milk tea do you want?” Su Qixi thought it was okay. She smiled playfully at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo chuckled. She reached out and rubbed Su Qixi’s head, gritting her teeth and saying, “Fine, jiejie will take a look.”

When Su Qixi heard her call herself that, her heart couldn’t help but tremble. Ahhhhh, why does everything she says sound so good!!! I’m going crazy!!! Clenched fist. I’m going to pounce on her tonight!!!

So, when they got on the bus to go back, the other guests noticed that Su Qixi and Lin Mo were constantly calling each other “jiejie” and “meimei”.

Qiu Mingyi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “Young people really know how to play!”

Jiang Lun: “Huh? Is that what it means?”
