Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 102

The first floor had a bathroom, and compared to the small one on the second floor, this bathroom was much larger.

Xie Jingcheng had been filming all day and was covered in sweat. It was impossible for her not to take a bath; she would feel uncomfortable even if she just wiped down with a hot towel.

Song Qingxing first went to open the bathroom door before carrying the person toward it. However, once they reached the stage of undoing clothes, she began to feel conflicted again.

No matter how she thought about it, this kind of behavior made her feel like a pervert.

Thinking of this, Song Qingxing could only reach out and flick Xie Jingcheng’s cheek. She didn’t want to disturb the other’s sleep, so she did her best not to wake her whenever possible.

But for something like bathing, she couldn’t exactly handle everything herself, could she?

Having her cheek flicked twice, Xie Jingcheng slowly opened her eyes. The warm yellow light of the bathroom spilled down, carrying a somewhat scorching temperature.

“Qingxing?”

She hadn’t expected that after just a short nap, she would have moved from the car to the bathroom. Xie Jingcheng looked around at the bathroom’s decor before realizing where she was.

“I’m home.”

This was just a temporary place to stay, not really a home, but it was fine if Xie Jingcheng wanted to think of it that way.

“Mhm.”

“Although I want to help you bathe, I might not be able to do it.”

Song Qingxing spoke the truth. To grandly unbutton someone’s clothes was something she couldn’t quite bring herself to do. After all, when Xie Jingcheng was asleep, she had such an innocent and ignorant appearance.

It truly made it hard to lay a hand on her; it felt almost like a crime.

“The fact that you carried me all the way here is already very impressive.”

Xie Jingcheng raised her hand to undo her buttons, clearly intending to enter the bath herself. She turned on the water in the bathtub, and the sound of rushing water echoed in their ears.

The sight of Xie Jingcheng with her shirt half-open was, it must be said, truly alluring and full of charm. It was no wonder she could captivate thousands of young men and women just by playing a random role.

“I’ll have to trouble you to get me a change of clothes.”

Song Qingxing was just about to flee in a panic when that cold voice called out to her, a trace of fatigue lingering in the tone.

“Okay.”

She agreed and hurriedly went upstairs, but her mind was filled entirely with the image of Xie Jingcheng with her clothes half-undone.

Dammit!

This “beauty trap” actually worked on her.

The moment Song Qingxing saw it, she experienced the sensation of her blood surging, making her feel like she might have a nosebleed. She finally understood why some men stared straight at beautiful women.

Reaching the second floor, Song Qingxing’s fingers trembled as she began to rummage through the clothes. Xie Jingcheng didn’t have many clothes stored there, but they were all from famous, expensive brands.

Finding a pair of gray pajamas, Song Qingxing took them and headed back down, but as she reached the door, her steps paused.

Wait…

Why was she walking so fast?

Xie Jingcheng obviously wouldn’t be finished bathing yet.

But in that moment of hesitation, Xie Jingcheng had already seen the figure standing at the door through the thin mist in the bathroom.

Although it was frosted glass, the section near the ankles was transparent, allowing her to see the “Little Rabbit’s” slender ankles.

“Since you’re here, just push the door and come in.”

Xie Jingcheng raised her voice. The person at the door seemed startled but pushed the door open anyway.

“I… I put your clothes on the cabinet…”

Song Qingxing’s voice carried a tremor she hadn’t noticed herself as she prepared to set the clean clothes on the side cabinet.

Xie Jingcheng propped her cheek up with one hand. She looked like a mermaid in the sea, but her eyes were full of playfulness.

“Why are you so shy?”

Water droplets slid down from the back of her hand to her elbow before disappearing into the tub. This image of a “beauty emerging from the bath” was truly a temptation hard to withstand.

Song Qingxing couldn’t help but recall the past. Back then, because she hadn’t been in a relationship for a long time, someone had once asked her out of curiosity:

“Qingxing, I see you have absolutely no spark with male celebrities. Is it because you like wo—”

Before the person could finish, Song Qingxing had interrupted bashfully.

“It’s hard to say. I just haven’t met someone I like yet.”

Even with close friends, as a celebrity, one had to guard their privacy, because you never knew when a friend might expose you.

At that time, Song Qingxing truly felt no spark with male stars. Even when male stars with great physiques unbuttoned their clothes to show off their muscles during acting, Song Qingxing would watch with complete indifference, her heart as still as dead water.

She always felt she simply hadn’t met her “Prince Charming.” It was a feeling that true love required waiting to meet one’s person of destiny. Although thinking this way was a bit “middle-school syndrome,” she truly believed it.

But…

What about her now? Although she was still the same person who remained unfazed by others performing intense scenes…

She now found herself with a heart that raced and a face that flushed entirely because of one person: Xie Jingcheng.

Song Qingxing could deceive her brain, but she couldn’t deceive her heart. She was indeed moved.

“I’m not. I just think it’s a bit rude to stare at you.”

Song Qingxing spoke the truth, her courage growing slightly. No longer avoiding the sight, her black eyes gazed intently at the person in the tub.

“The two of us bathing separately is a waste of time. Qingxing, don’t you think so?”

Xie Jingcheng sat up straight, the water splashing loudly.

Song Qingxing quickly reached out to cover her eyes, but her fingers couldn’t block out the “scenery.”

It had to be said, Xie Jingcheng really had a great figure!

“It is a bit of a waste of time, but we have so much time, wasting a little doesn’t matter.”

Song Qingxing turned around, intending to leave the room. She knew that if she lingered any longer, she would definitely be dragged into the tub by this “mermaid.”

However, just as her hand gripped the cold doorknob, Xie Jingcheng’s voice rang out again, seemingly tinged with a faint sense of disappointment.

“You really don’t want to bathe with me that much?”

“I said before, without your permission, I won’t lay a hand on you.”

Was it just a bath? Did the Little Rabbit not trust her? From beginning to end, Xie Jingcheng had only shown a forceful side once, likely that time with Shen Yu.

And that was because she had been provoked, which led to such out-of-character behavior.

“You don’t trust me?”

If there was no trust, then there was nothing to be done. Xie Jingcheng tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the tub.

Fine… fine…

It seemed that gaining trust had to be done slowly, step by step. She couldn’t be too hasty, or she’d seem like some kind of pervert.

“Alright then, you come and wash later.”

Xie Jingcheng had already made a compromise, but when she looked up, she saw a person standing right in front of her, their cheeks flushed pink from the mist.

“I know what you mean. You want to have a mandarin duck bath with me…” A bath together as a couple

Song Qingxing almost bit her tongue and couldn’t finish the last few words. Even if she had lived a long time and experienced a rebirth, it didn’t mean she could instantly become perfectly poised and bold.

“Mhm.”

“You don’t want to?”

When you like someone, you just want to cling to them and do intimate things. Xie Jingcheng wasn’t thin-skinned at all; she admitted it directly.
