Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 70

“Thank you.”

Song Qingxing guaranteed that if Xie Jingcheng hadn’t supported her, she would have definitely fallen flat on her face, so she thanked her with a look of shame.

“You’ve been too tired these past few days. Anyway, the filming is already halfway through. I’ll ask the director for a two-day break. The atmosphere on set is too tense and not suitable for filming. You can’t produce a good film under these circumstances.”

Xie Jingcheng felt that the filming situation these past few days had been truly poor, especially with the crew missing two capable staff members.

“I’m fine…”

Although Song Qingxing initially tried to argue in a very quiet voice, she quickly realized that what Xie Jingcheng said was true. If the crew continued in this distracted and panicky state, continuing the filming would not be good for the final product.

“But you’re right, the crew’s state isn’t good. I think we should wait until the associate director and screenwriter are replaced before resuming filming.”

Song Qingxing nodded. The two didn’t continue to chat and walked into the hotel together.

After escorting her all the way to the room door, the assistant and bodyguards stopped. Normally, the bodyguards wouldn’t stick so close.

This was because they wanted to give their Miss enough space to date.

But since what happened the day before yesterday, they didn’t dare to be negligent again.

The room door opened, and there was no one inside.

Xie Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Qingxing wanted to take a shower. Filming in the summer was already tiring, and now she was covered in a thin layer of sweat, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

If she didn’t wash herself clean with warm water, she would likely find it difficult to fall asleep.

“Xie Jingcheng, I’m going to wash up.”

“Do you want to join me?”

It wasn’t early, and Song Qingxing had already finished her diet lunch box on set, so she could go to sleep after washing.

If they were in a hurry, she wouldn’t mind them washing together.

“Mhm.”

Sure enough, a certain person didn’t refuse. After all, who could resist the temptation of a lovers’ bath?

Song Qingxing felt in her heart that her curse of “pervert” was accurate, but she didn’t dare to say it too much, as Xie was her sugar mommy.

In a moment, Xie Jingcheng brought her change of clothes over too.

She had barely any scenes today and was essentially an idle hanger-on on set, so she didn’t smell of sweat or makeup.

She smelled quite nice, in fact.

“Qingxing, I’ve been thinking about this since just now.”

The frosted glass door of the bathroom was closed, and Xie Jingcheng leaned closer. After so many days of observation and understanding, she already knew Song Qingxing’s personality.

The other party was the type of person who would never take the initiative. If she wanted to get what she deserved, she should be the one to take the initiative.

“What are you thinking?”

Song Qingxing felt the danger approaching and pressed herself against the cold tile wall. Damn it, was Xie Jingcheng going to want that right now…

Song Qingxing’s mind was racing. She could only say somewhat timidly, “But I still have injuries on my body now. I’m afraid I can’t cooperate.”

She had been exhausted last night, and then had to film today. Even an iron bull couldn’t withstand this much strain.

“Don’t worry, I’m not that intemperate.”

Her fingertip lightly brushed over Song Qingxing’s brow arch. Xie Jingcheng felt the fluffy texture of the brow hairs. Although Song Qingxing had trimmed her eyebrows, she hadn’t trimmed much. Her eyebrow shape was naturally beautiful, a thin style that showed a woman’s delicacy.

“I just want to kiss you.”

The pink lips, beautiful and plump with a nice Cupid’s bow, were the source of her initial desire.

This request didn’t seem so excessive.

Song Qingxing hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes. The meaning was obvious: Go ahead!

Joy filled Xie Jingcheng’s heart. She slowly leaned in, holding Song Qingxing’s wrist with one hand and supporting the back of her head with the other, preventing it from touching the icy tiles.

There was some flesh on a person’s body, but the back of the head was just bone underneath the thin layers of hair and scalp.

It was easy to get chilled.

The taste of lips mingling was exceptionally wonderful. Xie Jingcheng seemed immersed in it. Song Qingxing only felt her lungs were about to burst, yet she still awkwardly tried to respond to the other party.

Why didn’t she have any practice in this area in her previous life?

Right, she hadn’t even dated in her previous life.

Song Qingxing could only gently tap the other person’s waist to remind Xie Jingcheng that her lungs were about to explode.

Only then did Xie Jingcheng reluctantly let go.

Song Qingxing covered her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

“Are you made of an oxygen tank? How can you store that much oxygen?”

Even when kissing required breathing, Song Qingxing didn’t have time to take more than two breaths of fresh air, so she accused Xie Jingcheng in a hurried tone.

“Lung capacity is something you can build up with practice.”

Xie Jingcheng occasionally went free diving, so her lung capacity was well-trained, unlike a certain person. But after getting what she wanted, she was satisfied.

The hotel bathtub was large enough that even two people could fit in without a problem. Xie Jingcheng used the showerhead to wet her hair.

Her slender fingers patiently massaged the scalp.

She had specially trained how to massage a scalp for maximum comfort to make Song Qingxing rely on her more for small things.

Song Qingxing was so comfortable from the head massage that she was almost falling asleep. She was completely slumped over the bathtub, and what came into view was her fair, smooth back.

Xie Jingcheng suppressed her furiously pounding heart, telling herself that since she had already kissed her once, she shouldn’t have any other thoughts.

Fortunately, her self-control was relatively strong, and she pushed down all those inappropriate, messy thoughts.

The director of the crew also agreed to the request for the break. The screenwriter and associate director were very important positions, so he had to temporarily recruit replacements from elsewhere.

The Xie family provided him with great assistance.

They selected an excellent screenwriter from a popular hit drama to take over.

The associate director was also a well-known director skilled at shooting scenes. Although he was famous, he was surprisingly willing to work as an assistant to the current director.

This genuinely made the director secretly admire them.

It seemed he hadn’t made a mistake in choosing the female lead this time. Initially, the director only planned to choose two newcomers to the entertainment industry.

But somehow, the script was noticed by the A-list actress Song Qingxing. Any ordinary director would be ecstatic upon hearing this news.

A popular star noticing your script was a huge stroke of luck.

Because the person brought their own traffic, it meant that no matter how badly the drama was shot, it would still have fans and an audience, and the director wouldn’t have to bear the risk of the drama failing.

However, in recent years, popular stars have received much criticism.

Incidents of demanding behavior and changing lines have been frequent, and either of these would be a headache for a director.

Either their reputation would be ruined, or the drama would fail.

In any case, they had to take on one of those risks.

Therefore, when the director heard the news, he wasn’t particularly happy; he just had a faint sense of worry, because he thought an A-list actress wouldn’t listen to his direction.

And the meticulously selected script would then be ruined.

But now, it seemed Song Qingxing didn’t demand anything at all and was completely different from the rumors.

It looked like not all rumors in the industry could be believed.
