My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 81
That afternoon, everyone made heartfelt confessions in front of the camera and courageously spoke about the many inconveniences they had faced over the years.
But they were not defeated. They always believed their love could defeat all monsters and they would eventually become heroes.
Perhaps too many people had sacrificed themselves on the path to becoming heroes, but those who wanted to be heroes followed in their footsteps.
At this moment, Su Qixi was like a lighthouse in the sea, pointing the way for these lost souls.
Sometimes, hiding a loved one is a form of protection. At other times, bringing a loved one into the light is also a form of protection.
Everyone chatted happily, their relationships grew closer, and their hearts opened up.
The fans in front of the screen were no longer as crazy as they once were, and they all silently sent their blessings at this moment.
It seemed that at this moment, the meaning of ‘The Home Inn’ was given a tangible form.
The short chat ended, and there was still a lot of time left before dinner.
Su Qixi held Lin Mo’s hand and led her outside. Lin Mo followed her lead.
[Aaaaaah, don’t leave! We can’t see you outside!!!]
[Stop, where are you going? You can kiss right here!]
[Boo hoo hoo, there’s only a little bit of the live stream left, and you’re running around!]
The two of them, of course, couldn’t see the comments begging them to stay, but Lin Mo still asked her, “Where are we going?”
Su Qixi shushed her and said with a smile, “There’s a sea of daisies on the back mountain. It’s so beautiful.”
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. “I’ve only been gone for a week, and there’s already a sea of flowers?”
As Su Qixi led her outside, the last thing the camera could hear was Su Qixi explaining, “It was there before, but the flowers hadn’t bloomed yet. They’ve just bloomed recently, and they’re so pretty.”
[Boo hoo hoo, I want to go see it too.]
[VJ, follow them!]
[Damn it, where did the VJ go!!!]
[Is there something even I, a VIP, can’t see? Hurry up and follow them. Tonight’s dinner is on me.]
However, probably to give Su Qixi and Lin Mo some time to themselves, Zhou Ping wasn’t sent out.
Su Qixi had wanted to show Lin Mo this sea of flowers and had even thought of bringing her here to see it when Lin Mo came to pick her up after filming was over. She had asked the person in charge of that flower field, and they said the blooming season would last for at least 80 days. There was definitely enough time, but she didn’t expect Lin Mo to come so early.
Su Qixi led Lin Mo from the path of the Home Inn to the back mountain. They walked along the same concrete road they had strolled on before,绕 (ràozhuàng, bypassing) a small mountain path, and soon came to a sunny area where they saw a field of red daisies. Although they were called red, the tips of the petals were a brilliant golden yellow, and the entire flower looked like the splendid sun in the sky.
Each flower was large, beautiful, and the plant was sturdy. It was clear that this location was an excellent breeding ground for them.
Lin Mo stood at the edge of the flower field and looked out. Thousands of flowers swayed in the wind, a spectacular sight.
She could also smell the light fragrance, which was refreshing.
Su Qixi held her hand and led her onto the small path. They were surrounded by flower fairies, and being there felt like stepping into a different kind of paradise.
“Do you like it?” Su Qixi stood there, surrounded by bright and beautiful flowers, but they couldn’t compare to even a thousandth of her beauty.
This was the colorful and beautiful gift that Su Qixi had prepared for herself. Lin Mo’s heart softened, and she nodded. “I love it.”
“I knew you would like it.” Su Qixi was extremely happy. “The first day I came here and saw them bloom, I also thought they were so pretty.”
Saying that, she took Lin Mo’s hand again and led her on a stroll through this vibrant watercolor painting. They walked as if they were an ordinary couple living in seclusion here, relaxing after a day’s work.
But since the area was near the mountains, the wind was naturally cool.
Su Qixi wrapped her arms around her collar as she and Lin Mo walked. She then started to ask Lin Mo about the afternoon. “Did you deliberately provoke Jiang Lun at noon?”
Lin Mo turned to look at her. Seeing the wide, curious eyes of Su Qixi, Lin Mo laughed. “Why would you say that?”
Su Qixi thought seriously for a moment. “The Lin Mo I know doesn’t really like to meddle in other people’s business, but today, you deliberately showed off your relationship with me. I feel like that’s not like you. The Lin Mo I know wouldn’t be such a show-off.”
In high school, Lin Mo was first every year. But when she was at home, Lin Mo never said anything about it. At school, she never talked to others about grades or academics.
She was very low-key. So why did this Lin Mo suddenly show off her relationship today?
Lin Mo was amused by her words, and a small smile appeared in her eyes. She seemed to sigh. “When you put it that way, I sound like a very heartless person.”
Su Qixi’s grip on Lin Mo’s hand tightened. Lin Mo felt it and couldn’t help but gently squeeze the back of her hand. “Don’t be nervous. I’m not talking about you. But what you said is right. I am indeed a very heartless person.”
Su Qixi shook her head. “You’re very low-key, but you’re not heartless. In high school, you would always explain things well to anyone who came to ask you questions. Even if they didn’t understand, you would explain it three or four times, using five or six different ways to solve it. You were never impatient. You’re not a heartless person.”
After hearing her words, Lin Mo was silent for a moment, but she still refuted, “I am!”
She tightened her grip on Su Qixi’s hand. “I actually just watch many things with a cold eye, no matter if they turn out good or bad.”
Su Qixi frowned. She held up the hand that was intertwined with Lin Mo’s and said, “You’re a good person! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have carried me back.” And you took care of me for so long.
Lin Mo laughed. “Yes, you are my one and only unexpected act of kindness.”
Su Qixi frowned even more. “You’re not the only one. You’ve done so many good things. Don’t you remember? If you don’t, you should know that your classmates have been waiting for you to come back. This time, they also posted on Weibo to support you because they thought you were a good person.”
Who doesn’t like to hear nice things? Especially compliments from a partner.
The smile on Lin Mo’s face grew even wider, and she no longer denied it. Instead, she brought up Su Qixi’s first question. “You asked if I was deliberately provoking Jiang Lun? My answer is—yes.”
Su Qixi was stunned. “Huh? Why?”
Lin Mo said, “I ran into Qi Youxuan again a few days ago.”
Su Qixi frowned. She didn’t really like Qi Youxuan. The emotional betrayal that Qi Youxuan did to Yun Yue made Su Qixi unable to accept that Qi Youxuan was a good person.
“What did she say to you?” Of course, Su Qixi also didn’t like Lin Mo having any contact with Qi Youxuan. There was an old Chinese saying that you become like the company you keep. Although Lin Mo had a firm character, Qi Youxuan still wasn’t someone worth associating with.
Furthermore, Qi Youxuan’s company had an issue. Although the news about her company had lessened this week, everyone knew that Huafeng Company was on the verge of collapse and wouldn’t last much longer. Although there wasn’t much news about Qi Youxuan lately, the things she had revealed were almost like self-sabotage.
When her company falls, and she has no one to rely on, her situation will only get worse.
In addition, Qi Youxuan was the company’s top star, and the company was involved in tax evasion. Was Qi Youxuan really clean?
Lin Mo stopped walking. A gust of wind suddenly blew, bending all the flowers.
—”She said that everyone has regrets in life. If you love, you must love in a timely manner. Don’t waste a single moment of being in love. Don’t end up like her, lamenting with a single sentence: What a drag.”
A drag?
Su Qixi frowned. “Yun Yue is the one who got the short end of the stick!”
Lin Mo let out a soft laugh. Su Qixi frowned and asked, “What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?”
“Oh, you!” Lin Mo said with a laugh, reaching out to give her nose a playful tap. “You’re still the same as you were back then.”
Su Qixi didn’t understand. “The same what?”
Lin Mo sighed. “The same innocent and passionate person.”
Su Qixi’s eyes widened. “I’m 26 years old, and in a few years, I’ll be 30. Innocent? Lin Mo, I’ve been through a lot, too.”
Lin Mo nodded, raising her hand and gently placing it on top of her head. “That’s true. Your life hasn’t been easy either. The fact that you can still maintain such a pure heart is what’s truly precious.”
Su Qixi reached up and grabbed the large hand on her head, pulling it to her chest.
Hearing Lin Mo’s words, she just took it as a compliment from Lin Mo and didn’t want to talk about Qi Youxuan’s problem anymore, but she was annoyed that Lin Mo would provoke Jiang Lun because of her words. “So, you provoked Jiang Lun because Qi Youxuan said that?”
Lin Mo fell silent. She thought for a moment, as if she didn’t know how to explain, and finally summarized with a single sentence: “It’s not just because of that. In short, I have my reasons.”
Lin Mo’s ambiguous answer made Su Qixi’s frown deepen. She asked, “Why won’t you tell me clearly? Is it something you can’t say?”
After they walked a full circle around the flower field, they reached the end and saw the gazebo they had been to on their last stroll on the back mountain.
Lin Mo opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Su Qixi was even more curious. “Tell me!”
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Mo still asked, “If I told you that I left Earth for those eight years, would you believe me?”
Su Qixi was stunned, and she suddenly remembered that Lin Mo had said the exact same thing when they were at the class reunion. Was the answer now different from the answer then?
Without a clear and quick answer from Su Qixi, the answer was already obvious.
Lin Mo looked down and laughed softly. There was no disappointment or reproach in her eyes. She was just a little helpless and said to Su Qixi, “The day you believe me, I can tell you everything else. For example, where did Qi Youxuan and I meet this time? And what did she say to me? The prerequisite is that you believe me one day.”
Su Qixi blinked. She felt that Lin Mo’s words were too sad, and she felt a little flustered. She said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you.”
It’s just that it’s too hard to believe.
Lin Mo just smiled gently and reached out to rub her head. “Don’t rush it, Xiaoxi. It’s not something that’s easy to believe, of course. Otherwise, with your feelings for me, why would I have to hide it from you?”
Although Lin Mo said that, she walked forward alone. Under the setting sun, she left Su Qixi in the flower field and left her with a back view.
“Lin Mo,” Su Qixi called out. Lin Mo looked back at her, her eyes reflecting the flames of the setting sun.
Seeing that Su Qixi was standing there and not following her, Lin Mo smiled again. “Come here!”
Su Qixi: “I believe you.”
However, even though she said the right answer, all she saw was Lin Mo shaking her head.
“You don’t have to believe me.” She stood there in the fiery red glow of the setting sun. The sunset outlined the lines of her face, and the evening breeze smoothed her hair.
Lin Mo walked back to her side, reached out to take Su Qixi’s hand, and led her out of the flower field. She said, “You don’t need to believe it with your emotions. It’s not something I’m forcing you to believe, and it’s not something that’s easy to believe. I hope that one day, you’ll tell yourself this and believe it…”
—”My Lin Mo would never lie to me.”
Su Qixi didn’t know how she felt when she heard that last sentence. She just felt a “thump” in her head, and she couldn’t hear the wind in her ears or smell the flowers in her nose.
She was led by Lin Mo, looking at Lin Mo’s back, and was pulled back onto that concrete road.
Su Qixi knew she could say “I believe you” a thousand times, but both she and Lin Mo knew that this belief was based on her feelings for Lin Mo. She didn’t know what Lin Mo meant by that last sentence or when she would think that way.
She was pulled by Lin Mo into the gazebo. The gazebo was still the same. They had been here once before they had a confirmed relationship. She still remembered that they had kissed here.
Su Qixi was in a daze when Lin Mo pulled her onto the bench in the gazebo. Before she could react, she felt Lin Mo’s hand cup her chin, and her head was slightly lifted.
Su Qixi: “???”
She… Lin Mo didn’t hesitate and lowered her head to kiss her.
Su Qixi’s eyes widened instantly. She felt Lin Mo’s lips on her lower lip, sucking, and quickly prying open her teeth to conquer.
“Mm…” Su Qixi’s breathing became ragged. She reached out her right hand to push Lin Mo away, but Lin Mo grabbed her wrist. Lin Mo’s other hand slid down her waist, went under her jacket, brushed against the fabric of her undershirt, and finally rested on the small of her back.
Su Qixi’s whole body stiffened, and she straightened up. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. That was a sensitive spot for her, and Lin Mo knew it.
The silent world was suddenly broken. She could hear the howling wind blowing through the valley, carrying the rustling sound of the trees, like an autumn symphony. Along with the wind came the fragrance of the blanket flower, which almost made Su Qixi drown in it.
“Lin Mo.” The name escaped Su Qixi’s lips. Lin Mo paused and stopped. She leaned her forehead against Su Qixi’s and asked with a smile, “What are you thinking about right now?”
Su Qixi’s eyes were filled with the desire that Lin Mo had stirred up. She said pitifully, “I’m thinking about you.”
Lin Mo smiled. She sat down next to Su Qixi and wrapped her arms around her from behind. Su Qixi took the opportunity to lie down on Lin Mo’s lap. This way, she could see Lin Mo’s graceful jawline from below. Su Qixi couldn’t help but reach out and trace her jaw.
It was probably a little ticklish. Lin Mo reached out to grab her playful hand, and their fingers intertwined.
Lin Mo: “Just think about me. Just think about me. Don’t think about anything else, any questions that don’t have an answer. The answer will appear one day when it’s supposed to.”
Su Qixi blinked. When will that be? She didn’t know, but since Lin Mo said not to think about it, she wouldn’t.
Su Qixi nodded obediently.
Lin Mo lowered her eyes to look at her, then curved her eyes into a smile. Her eyes were like a clear spring filled with love.
She lowered her head in the setting sun and gently kissed her lips.
The sunlight of the setting sun pierced through the gap between them, dazzling and brilliant.
“You’re back?” Zhuo Zitou said when she saw Lin Mo bringing Su Qixi back.
[Their lips are all swollen from kissing.]
[The person above is exaggerating. Lin Mo’s lips just have a small cut.]
[…The person on the second floor, why is there a cut? Is it because she’s sick?]
[The VJ isn’t following them, and neither is the drone. Do you guys even care about your jobs anymore?]
Wu Qingqing came out, took a look, and gasped. “Lin Mo, why are your lips bleeding?”
Lin Mo also wanted to hold her forehead, but she finally said, “I’m sick.”
Wu Qingqing: “???”
Jiang Lun pulled Wu Qingqing inside, saying, “Hurry up and eat!”
Su Qixi looked up at the sky, pretending not to know anything. It wasn’t like she meant to bite her! It was Lin Mo’s hand that wasn’t being honest, and she was just a little nervous, so she bit down hard.
Besides… didn’t she lick it better afterward? Su Qixi’s ears turned red. Although she knew she couldn’t fool anyone, she couldn’t just say it out loud!
By now, the sky had turned completely dark, and the streetlights had been turned on. The dining table in the front hall was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Qiu Mingyi helped the production team serve the dishes. He saw the two of them and said with a smile, “The production team is generous today. It’s all good food.”
The others all laughed. Su Qixi reached out to hold Lin Mo’s hand and squeezed it in her palm. She looked as well-behaved as if she wasn’t the one who had just bitten her.
Lin Mo looked at her helplessly. Su Qixi smiled, and that smile was like a gentle breeze passing over the lake in Lin Mo’s heart, leaving a light ripple.
It wasn’t too strong or too light, just a little tickle.
[Aaaaaah, she’s so cute!]
[It’s different when you’re in a relationship!!!]
[Who can resist a smile like that!!!!]
Of course, Lin Mo couldn’t either. She said with a laugh, “Okay, stop smiling. Let’s go in!”
Su Qixi nodded and followed Lin Mo into the Home Inn.
Everyone took their seats. Just like when the show first aired, Zhuo Zitou took the lead and raised her glass. “One month ago, we toasted to get to know each other. Now that a month has passed, let’s toast again. I wish everyone all the best and a bright future.”
After Zhuo Zitou said that, everyone stood up and toasted.
[This scene is so sad! I can’t believe a month went by so fast.]
[Right! I still remember when they first came. They weren’t familiar with each other, so they had a meal before filming started. At that time, they also stood up together and toasted.]
[Boo hoo hoo, after today, tomorrow they’ll film the last two days with their loved ones. And then they’ll really go their separate ways. It’ll be very, very difficult for them to get together like this again.]
[Right! Celebrities’ schedules are so packed. Once they join a production, it’s for a few months at a time. And now that this show is popular, they might be even busier. They probably won’t be able to drink together like this again!]
[It still feels like things have changed. Qi Youxuan isn’t here. She was clearly supposed to be here, but now she’s been replaced, and there’s a new couple.]
[Right! When the show first aired, who would have thought it would turn out this way! But at least the other couples are still here, and everyone is doing well.]
[Right, right, don’t mention Qi Youxuan. She’s bad luck.]
And in the Home Inn, with the flickering lights, clinking glasses, and laughter, time slowly passed…
The friendship of one month, with the company of the netizens, could only be left here in the end.
