Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 79

Song Qingxing’s teary-eyed look truly evoked pity, causing Xie Jingcheng’s heart to involuntarily tremble.

“What kind of bad memory?”

As far as she knew, the big star Song Qingxing hadn’t really suffered much, having become famous so early and constantly surrounded by assistants and managers fawning over her.

“I was harassed by a director before.”

“It was also during a power outage; he wrapped his arms around me from behind.”

Song Qingxing felt it was okay to occasionally open up a little. Some things, if kept bottled up for too long, could make one sick.

She hadn’t even realized it herself, but she had unconsciously begun to trust Xie Jingcheng, willing to talk about even the more private matters from her previous life.

“Who was it!”

“Tell me, I’ll make sure he pays for it!”

Xie Jingcheng suddenly slammed the table hard. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she rarely lost control like this.

This action startled Song Qingxing.

She felt that Xie Jingcheng at this moment was like a loyal guard dog, ears perked, teeth bared, ready to retaliate upon hearing its owner was bullied.

“Don’t worry, he didn’t get away with it.”

“I hit him until his head bled.”

Song Qingxing raised her hand and patted Xie Jingcheng’s warm hand. After all, the incident hadn’t happened yet, and she couldn’t jump to conclusions.

“Can’t you tell me who it was?”

Xie Jingcheng seemed a little hurt, unhappy that the ‘little bunny’ was keeping things from her.

“It was a long time ago, there’s no need to pursue it anymore.”

Actually, it’s something that will happen later, Song Qingxing thought to herself. She gently released Xie Jingcheng, then reached out and tapped the tip of the other person’s nose.

“I can’t always rely on you. I’ve long been able to handle small matters like this myself.”

“He actually hugged you…”

Xie Jingcheng uttered this sentence sullenly. Song Qingxing keenly caught the tremor in Xie Jingcheng’s voice, then tilted her head, her hair sliding from her cheek and resting on her nose bridge.

“No way, are you going to be so upset about my situation that you’ll cry?”

“That’s not it, I just feel bad.”

“I don’t even dare to suddenly hug you from behind.”

When they were filming together before, Xie Jingcheng had been infatuated for a long time, but Song Qingxing avoided her like the plague.

No matter how high a price she offered.

Song Qingxing just wouldn’t agree. Xie Ze even mocked her back then.

“Cousin, I think you should just give up.”

“What if she likes handsome men? No matter how much you show off, it’s useless.”

Xie Jingcheng refused to admit defeat, only picking up the chopsticks on the table and bending them into two with a little force.

“With external force, something straight can be bent, right?” Xie Jingcheng said darkly.

So when she made her final offer, Song Qingxing agreed. Xie Jingcheng hadn’t expected it herself, as she hadn’t even planned to use any dirty tricks yet.

“If you want to hug me, go ahead. But if I mistake you for a pervert and you get a slap, don’t blame me.”

Xie Jingcheng only smiled.

“Don’t worry, stay with me.”

“No one will bully you.”

Although these words could be classified as classic lines from a dominant CEO, Song Qingxing was still quite touched.

Because the other person wasn’t just talking big; she was someone who followed through on her promises.

Song Qingxing stood up. She heard her assistant’s voice, and saw Yu Zhi running in, slightly out of breath. Seeing the two of them intimately close, her cheeks instantly flushed. She reached for the doorknob.

“I… I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have intruded. I’ll leave right away.”

“Sorry for what? We weren’t doing anything we shouldn’t be doing.” Song Qingxing called out to Yu Zhi.

“What are you here for? Has the male actor memorized his lines?”

Only then did Yu Zhi stop her attempt to retreat from the room and nodded.

“Yes, supposedly they’ve been memorized.”

What do you mean, ‘supposedly’?

Song Qingxing wasn’t entirely sure, but since the assistant had notified her, she couldn’t continue to be lazy in the dressing room.

She stood up.

“Alright, I’m going to film. I’ll head back to the hotel to rest early after we finish.”

Xie Jingcheng nodded, took the milk tea from her hand, and looked at the residual lipstick mark on the straw. For some reason, a vulgar thought arose in her mind.

She tentatively opened her mouth and took the white straw into her mouth. The bitter and sweet blend of tea and milk was indescribable.

It wasn’t that this low-sugar milk tea tasted good.

It was that after being touched by the person she liked, it felt as if it had an added buff, making her heart feel nourished.

This is… an indirect kiss.

Xie Jingcheng’s ears couldn’t help but quietly turn red, and she followed Song Qingxing out, holding the milk tea.

“Why are you following me?”

Song Qingxing walked a couple of steps before realizing there was a tail hanging behind her shadow. She turned around, puzzled. It was late at night, and there were many mosquitoes. Why would Xie Jingcheng come out to suffer? She’d be better off waiting in the dressing room for her to remove her makeup, and then they could go back to the hotel together.

“I just want to follow.” Xie Jingcheng only replied with this.

Yu Zhi, on the other hand, widened her eyes and couldn’t help but quietly wonder:

Wasn’t Xie Jingcheng always a germaphobe?

How can she drink the milk tea Song Qingxing drank, especially considering the straw still has lipstick on it?

For a germaphobe, this is practically equivalent to death by a thousand cuts.

However, considering the two might have kissed countless times on the bed, Yu Zhi felt relieved.

Right, a germaphobe isn’t against their partner.

Song Qingxing is fragrant and soft; she’s great.

Facing the patron’s capriciousness, Song Qingxing said nothing more and arrived at the set.

The male lead was also drinking throat-soothing tea. From a distance, the tea had an odd smell; she didn’t know what kind of traditional medicine it was brewed with.

It seemed that memorizing the lines had indeed dried out his throat.

“Qingxing, good that you’re here, let’s start filming.” The director smiled. This scene was set in the metal shed for parking bikes at the school.

Although it was shot at a private aristocratic school, the male lead’s setting was that of a poor student on a scholarship, so he could only ride a bicycle to and from school.

This scene was about the male lead being bullied by the female lead’s secret admirer, who punctured his bike tire.

The male lead walked to the punctured bicycle tire and sighed.

“Cut, don’t improvise.”

Before the shooting even properly began, the director stopped the male lead’s action.

“Who told you to sigh?”

“Don’t you understand what a ‘rational top student’ is? A rational person shouldn’t look worried when something like this happens; they should calmly deal with it.”

“That’s what fits the male lead’s character.”

The male lead paused, then bowed his head, looking somewhat helpless.

“Sorry, I’ll do it again.”

By the time this ‘idiot’ finished filming this night scene, it was already past midnight. Song Qingxing yawned, and by the time she finished removing her makeup, she was almost falling asleep.

“I’ll carry you.”

Xie Jingcheng looked at the sleepy ‘little bunny’, feeling helpless, and her desire to replace the male lead reached its peak.

A scene in a bike shed, which would only take three minutes in the series, took a whole night to film. How ironic.

Not only is the current male actor ugly, and his fans won’t let anyone criticize him, but his acting skills are also enough to infuriate people.
