My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 70

Jiang Lun’s shocked look made him seem like an innocent young man.

Qiu Mingyi raised an eyebrow, not believing that a guy who had someone he liked had never had any “weird” thoughts.

He’s making me seem like a pervert!

Qiu Mingyi leaned in close to Jiang Lun and whispered, painting a vivid picture for him: “Imagine Qingqing calling you ‘gege~’.”

Jiang Lun got goosebumps because Qiu Mingyi sounded so disgusting.

However, that disgusting feeling was quickly killed by Qiu Mingyi’s next sentence.

“And she calls you this… in bed.”

Jiang Lun’s gaze became hazy as he imagined Wu Qingqing lying in bed. Her long, black hair would surely be spread out like the finest silk, her delicate and beautiful features, her eyes a little red…

He felt as if he could really hear her part her red lips and say, “gege~.” Jiang Lun felt his breathing become unsteady.

How could Qiu Mingyi not understand? He patted his shoulder and smiled perversely.

Jiang Lun: “…”

At this moment, Jiang Lun looked at Actress Su, who was flirting with Lin Mo in her seat. He heard Actress Su say, “Jiejie, is it good? Should meimei buy you another cup?”

Lin Mo helplessly played along. “Jiejie thanks you.”

Jiang Lun was immediately envious. As expected, young people really know how to play!

[Ah hahahaha, my Jiang Lun is looking envious.]

[He’s so envious his eyes are turning green.]

[So, what kind of gifts did everyone prepare?]

Meanwhile, Yun Yue had noticed Lin Mo when she got on the bus. Everyone’s gifts were wrapped in shopping bags to prevent the surprise from being revealed.

This made the panda in Lin Mo’s hand stand out, especially since the panda was so familiar to her.

But in the end, she didn’t ask.

The bus began its journey back. Everyone was dozing off in the rocking motion.

When they got back to the Ink Guest House, the crew had kindly prepared a rich dinner, and even a few bottles of good wine, so the guests wouldn’t have to cook after a long day of traveling. Drinking some wine could also help them relax.

The guests all cheered and insincerely praised Director Feng.

Director Feng was rarely not scolded. He immediately felt more confident and held up his microphone, announcing loudly, “There’s a small box in front of each of your room doors. During dinner, you can go upstairs with your gifts and put them in the box in front of the guest you like. Only one person can go upstairs at a time. After dinner, you can go back to your rooms to rest and open your gifts.”

Everyone nodded. They were too tired to say that this action was meaningless. The three couples here were real, so it was pretty much certain who would give a gift to whom. Even if you received two gifts, you’d likely know who the other one was from.

However, because they had already worked in a packed room this morning and then spent the afternoon in a car, shopping, and carefully choosing gifts, everyone was a little exhausted.

So, even though they wanted to complain, in the end, they held back. They just wanted to finish the task of delivering the gifts and then go rest.

The gifts were delivered, and dinner was over. Director Feng said that the crew would clean up the dishes, so the guests thanked him, then got up and went back to their rooms.

Every guest went to their room on the second floor and looked inside their box. Lin Mo did the same. Her box contained a rectangular, rather thick box.

The box was light purple, with a beige ribbon tied in a bow. It looked very delicate, but it also felt like a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day.

Lin Mo smiled, picked up the gift, and then opened her door to go inside.

As for her gift, because the notification was sent out a bit late, Qin Ke would probably deliver it a little later.

Su Qixi understood. She went upstairs and went straight to her room without even looking at her box.

After Lin Mo returned to her room, she wasn’t in a hurry to open the box. Since Su Qixi had prepared this gift for years, what was the point of opening it without her? Besides, her gift hadn’t arrived yet, and Su Qixi was probably alone right now because she hadn’t done her part.

So, she first found a backpack, put the box inside, and then carried the bag directly to the balcony.

After stepping out onto the balcony, a cold breeze blew, and Lin Mo felt much more awake. She unconsciously looked at the night sky, with its scattered starlight and a half-moon hanging on the treetops.

The entire village seemed to be slowly falling asleep, and the night breeze brought a couple of dog barks from afar.

The bright moonlight covered the balcony. Even without the lights from the room, she could see the situation on the opposite balcony.

In fact, Lin Mo wasn’t very close to Su Qixi’s balcony. For a human, this was a relatively dangerous distance.

However, this was the second floor, and even if she fell…

Lin Mo looked down and muttered, “I probably wouldn’t die.”

She had dealt with trickier situations than this, and her body had long since developed a physical constitution that surpassed that of a human. A jump like this was not difficult.

Not to mention, there was a window between her room and Su Qixi’s room, and the window sill was perfect for her to use as leverage.

When she got to Su Qixi’s balcony, the slight sound landed on Su Qixi’s ears. She immediately felt a bad premonition and quickly ran to the balcony. Sure enough, she saw Lin Mo half-squatting on the ground, rubbing her ankle.

Hearing the door open, Lin Mo smiled and looked at her, softly calling out their private nickname: “Xiaoxi.”

Su Qixi wasn’t charmed by the beauty. She opened her mouth and scolded her. “Didn’t I say not to jump from here?”

Lin Mo smiled. “It’s fine.”

Su Qixi was so angry she stomped her foot. “I said no jumping, no jumping!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lin Mo saw that she was really angry and comforted her. “I was a little dazed from the wine I had earlier.”

Su Qixi was so angry she started crying. “You can’t even drive when you drink, and you’re climbing over balconies.”

Lin Mo quickly took off her backpack and explained, “I want to open the gift you gave me and look at it with you. Qin Ke said my gift will be here in half an hour, so let’s look at yours first. Then, we can look at the one I prepared for you. Is that okay?”

Su Qixi was stunned, and her face turned slightly red as she looked at the backpack.

She hadn’t even opened the gift after Bai Jin had delivered it. Of course, since Bai Jin had already wrapped it, there was no need to open it again. It would only make sense for Lin Mo to open it, right?

Su Qixi hadn’t expected Lin Mo to come all the way to her just to open it together. She was angry that Lin Mo didn’t care about her safety, but she was also sweetly happy that Lin Mo had come to find her.

“Let’s go!” Lin Mo got up, shook her foot, and said, “It’s cold, so it’s not so easy to come over here.” Her ankle was numb.

This made Su Qixi’s heart leap, but before she could say anything, Lin Mo pulled her back into the room. The words she was about to say were swallowed back.

Once inside the bedroom, Su Qixi closed the balcony door and pulled the curtains. Only then did the two of them sit on the bed. Lin Mo took out the box. Although Su Qixi already knew what was inside, she still leaned against Lin Mo’s shoulder, waiting for Lin Mo to unwrap the gift.

Lin Mo untied the ribbon and gently placed the lid of the box aside. Her eyes then seriously fell on the contents of the box. It was a book!

Or rather, a scrapbook?

There seemed to be something tucked inside the book, with a little bit of it showing on the edge. The cover of the book was made of real leather, dyed a dark red with gold edges, and some lace had been manually glued to the surface.

This made the book look both heavy and a bit playful.

“What is this?” Lin Mo didn’t understand the meaning behind Su Qixi’s gift.

Su Qixi looked at the book and smiled with a hint of nostalgia. She said, “Open it.”

Lin Mo turned her head to look at her and asked, “Did you make all of this?”

Su Qixi nodded and replied with a hint of coyness, “Mhm.”

Although she still didn’t know what it was, it must have been made with a lot of care. Lin Mo couldn’t help but lean down and kiss the corner of her lips. “Thank you.”

Then she reached out and opened the first page. The first page only had a few photos, surrounded by pretty stickers for decoration.

Su Qixi had climbed a snowy mountain. The photos of her on the mountain showed a bright and happy smile.

Looking at this Su Qixi, Lin Mo couldn’t help but smile as well. She was about to ask when these photos were taken.

Then Su Qixi spoke herself. She pointed at the first photo of herself. She was wearing a fluffy white rabbit fur jacket and hat, which made her look very pretty and cute. Her pair of big, black eyes made her look so lively.

“I took these photos in the second year after you left. At that time, my first show had already aired, and I had earned a little bit of money. I remember you said you would take me to a snowy mountain. But you left, so I went by myself.”

Lin Mo paused, turned her head to look at her. Su Qixi’s mouth curved into a smile. “In the year after you left, I was always panicked and confused. But in the second year after you left, I suddenly found that life wasn’t that hard. So, I started acting seriously.”

Lin Mo nodded, feeling very relieved.

“Have you heard about it in the fan groups? I disappear for a month every year.”

Lin Mo thought about it. She seemed to have heard about it.

“Guess when?”

What’s with that tone?

Lin Mo paused, and an answer slowly formed in her mind as she looked at Su Qixi. Since she was asked to guess, it meant it was a date she knew.

“It’s August, your birthday.” Su Qixi said an answer that didn’t surprise Lin Mo.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them. The hand holding the book turned slightly pale. How could she not be moved?

“Every year in August, the month of your birthday, I would go look for you.” With that, Su Qixi turned to the second page.

The second page had an exquisite handmade craft. As the page was turned, a beautiful temple was revealed. A photo of Su Qixi in a yellow jumpsuit with thin straps and a big, casual hat also appeared in front of the temple.

This was the second stop Su Qixi made to look for Lin Mo!

“But I didn’t know where you were. No one knew where you were. This world is so big that I didn’t even know where to start looking for you. What could I do? I could only keep remembering the three years we spent together, every place you ever mentioned to me. I could only go to every place you might have liked, one by one.”

Lin Mo had been silent since Su Qixi started speaking. Su Qixi didn’t mind. She turned another page and explained:

“This was in the third year after you left me. I went there too. But even after visiting all those cities, finding you was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was so hard!”

Then she turned another page.

“This book records my life over the past eight years. I always thought that on the day you came back, I had to show you. That way, you wouldn’t have missed my last eight years, right?”

In the silent room, only their soft breaths could be heard, falling on each other’s arms, carrying a burning passion.

Right? Lin Mo’s heart trembled. She reached out and turned to the next page. Every page had a surprise, and every page held a lively image of her. Every page, as it was turned, brought Lin Mo into a world that leaped off the paper, making Lin Mo feel as if she had really spent the last eight years with Su Qixi, accompanying her to every place in the book.

This book was the result of Su Qixi’s years of hard work, and it also represented her heart.

This book was a feast for the eyes, but even more so, it was a living spirit that radiated vitality.

Lin Mo carefully looked at every page and understood that Su Qixi’s feelings had never changed.

Lin Mo’s expression softened. She reached out and gently stroked the three-dimensional buildings, rabbits, and trees on the book. She asked, “These 3D houses, rabbits, trees… all of this, did you make them?”

Su Qixi leaned against Lin Mo’s chest and nodded. “I took a lot of photos. Before I made them, I would design them in advance. I would spend a month every year looking for you and a month making this. Then I’d put all these experiences into the book, little by little.”

“Do you like it?” Su Qixi asked.

Lin Mo smiled softly. She looked back at Su Qixi beside her, her eyes filled with laughter, holding all the stars in the sky. She said, “How can I say I don’t like it? How could I not like it?”

With that, she reached out and lifted Su Qixi’s chin, then leaned down to kiss her.

Lin Mo’s kiss was very gentle. She gently sucked on her lips. Su Qixi responded clumsily. She felt she was too clumsy. She was a beginner, just like Lin Mo. But just like with her studies, she could never keep up with Lin Mo.

Her clumsy response caused her to accidentally bump into Lin Mo’s teeth a few times. This made a slightly teasing laugh escape from between Lin Mo’s lips. Su Qixi knew she was being mocked and gently bit her.

That slight pain instantly sent a current through her body.

Lin Mo’s breathing became unsteady. Her other hand put the book at the foot of the bed, then she reached out and caressed the back of Su Qixi’s head, deepening the kiss.

Their lips and tongues rubbed against each other, the lingering scent of wine intertwining, their saliva mixing. The unique scent of Lin Mo, the one that had made Su Qixi so intoxicated before, once again enveloped her.

In a daze, Su Qixi opened her eyes and saw that Lin Mo’s light-colored eyes were covered by her bangs, making it hard to see her expression. She always had a sense of mystery, a feeling that even at this moment, Su Qixi felt that holding her was not enough.

Lin Mo’s hand had already moved under Su Qixi’s shirt, gently caressing her back. Just as everything was about to get out of control, the phone in her pants pocket suddenly rang.

Lin Mo paused, propped herself up, and hovered above Su Qixi. The lust in her eyes had not yet faded, but she still managed to smile. “One second.”

Lin Mo took out her phone, looked at it, and then answered the call. “You’re here? Got it. Wait a second, I’ll be right down. Of course, I’ll reimburse you for the round-trip ticket…”

With that, she went to the bathroom to tidy up her messy hair and fix her clothes.

Before she left, she gave Su Qixi a look and then opened the door and went out.

Su Qixi: “…” You climbed over the balcony to get here, and now you’re opening the door to leave?

She thought this, but Su Qixi lay on the bed without moving. In a moment, Lin Mo indeed came back. Lin Mo, who had left without anything, came back with a backpack on her back.

The tears that had filled Su Qixi’s eyes from her emotions were still there, and the way she looked at Lin Mo seemed especially wronged.

Lin Mo paused, patted her head, and said, “Here’s my gift for you.”

Su Qixi was startled. She looked at the bag in her hand with surprise. Then she strangely found that the bag seemed a bit familiar.

“A… a backpack?” Is this… the backpack Lin Mo used in her senior year of high school?

Lin Mo nodded. “Yes. I left it with Qin Ke on the day of the college entrance exam.”

Su Qixi was confused and frowned. “What’s inside? A mountain of gold and silver? You’d rather leave it with the class president than with me?”

Lin Mo couldn’t help but laugh at her complaining and petty look, but she still said, “I should have given it to you a long time ago. So, you can open it.” The backpack was a bit dirty and old.

Su Qixi sat up, took the bag from Lin Mo, and unzipped it.

Inside were only two books: an English book and a booklet of science practice tests. On the last day of the college entrance exam, the subjects were English and the science comprehensive exam. This was probably what Lin Mo had brought to pass the time.

She looked closely and found that there was a photo between the two books. Su Qixi looked at Lin Mo in confusion. “Can I see it?”

Lin Mo smiled. “It’s for you.”

Su Qixi lowered her head and looked at the photo, then took it out.

She could clearly see that the person in the photo was herself, on the day of her confession during the college entrance exam!

Su Qixi was completely stunned!

On that day, she had confessed, and Lin Mo’s response was, “The road ahead is long. Take care of yourself, Xiaoxi.”

Those words were as heavy as a thousand pounds. They crushed Su Qixi until she was as flat as a sheet of paper. Su Qixi didn’t dare to cry until Lin Mo got up and left. She sat there, not moving an inch, and only two tears fell.

She kept regretting why she had to break the balance and kept condemning her greed.

That was why Lin Mo had so heartlessly abandoned her and left her in that high school classroom. But now, the meaning of this photo was…

“You didn’t leave that day?” Su Qixi turned to look at Lin Mo, her eyes slowly widening.

She had always thought she had been abandoned on the day of her high school graduation…

“However long you sat there, I stayed with you for that long.” Lin Mo said with a soft smile. “I sat on the ground behind a wall, waiting for you to leave first.”

Su Qixi’s heart was in turmoil because of what Lin Mo said. She found that the hand holding the photo was trembling.

She didn’t leave. She didn’t leave me that day.

Only this sentence filled Su Qixi’s mind.

But…

Why?

Su Qixi’s brain was about to burn out, and she still didn’t understand why Lin Mo would do this.

It was at this moment that Su Qixi suddenly found some words on the back of the photo. She flipped it over to read them.

It was Lin Mo’s handwriting. Su Qixi recognized it at first glance.

I never thought you would confess on this day. My thoughts followed your words, but when I had to cruelly reject you, I also thought that maybe you would never need me again.

But Su Qixi, I love you.

I love you, so I’m willing to give up everything to come back.

When I leave, keep loving me!

Then, wait for me to come back.

This photo was already very old. The marks of time were visible on it.

This was a love letter from Lin Mo from eight years ago, written to her. It had been in her backpack all this time…
