Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 81

Is something particularly intense going to happen right after returning to the hotel?

Song Qingxing’s face flushed completely. Her mind was already on the run. Although she knew it was her duty to serve her patron, she couldn’t take this kind of relentless pace.

She had been filming almost since day until late at night. At this moment, her body was utterly exhausted. She really just wanted to hurry up, take a hot bath, and go to sleep early.

“I’m very tired right now.”

Song Qingxing didn’t run away immediately but patiently and seriously explained her situation to Xie Jingcheng.

“I know.”

“Go wash up.”

Xie Jingcheng smiled and gently pushed her away.

Although she was attracted to beauty, she also knew that everything needed moderation. She couldn’t wear out the little rabbit when she was so weak.

After all, Song Qingxing had just fallen asleep on her back a moment ago.

Due to extreme exhaustion, Song Qingxing fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. She didn’t even have time to put on a face mask today, nor did she manage to scroll through her secondary Weibo account.

Tired people tend to sleep deeply and soundly, and she slept straight until early morning.

Song Qingxing’s phone had an alarm, and more than one. In the past, she wouldn’t set an alarm for herself and would occasionally act like a diva, making the crew wait even if she was late.

But now, she felt that was truly a bad temper. The makeup artists, props team, lighting crew, and photography team were already, waiting solely for her, sometimes for several hours.

Wasting other people’s time and energy was truly awful.

It was a shame she had been put on such a high pedestal back then.

She used to think that the success of a drama was all her own doing. Without her fans, would anyone watch this trashy show?

Now, Song Qingxing felt a little disgusted with her former self. Sure enough, the actions of a celebrity who is destined to fade are always traceable.

Now, she absolutely couldn’t repeat the same mistakes!

So, the moment the alarm rang, Song Qingxing climbed out of bed. This kind of scary execution ability was something her previous self probably couldn’t have achieved.

It was still dark outside. Song Qingxing initially didn’t want to disturb Xie Jingcheng. After all, Xie Jingcheng was only guest-starring in a role with limited screen time, so she didn’t need to get up early every day to go to the set. It was fine for her to sleep in a little longer.

But clearly, she could never escape Xie Jingcheng’s ears. The person beside her opened her eyes just as Song Qingxing put on her slippers and stood up.

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

Xie Jingcheng didn’t seem angry. She reached out her pale arm, fumbled for her phone on the bedside table, and turned it on.

She glanced at the time. It was only six in the morning, still early. It was fine to lounge in bed a little longer.

“I didn’t want to disturb your sleep.”

“Filming is my job, but you’re just guest-starring. You don’t have to be so tired.”

Song Qingxing answered with a smile. At this moment, she truly looked like a virtuous wife considering her husband.

Xie Jingcheng admitted that she was moved.

She liked it when Song Qingxing considered her. Although it was an inexplicable feeling, it was like knowing that someone truly cared about you and was genuinely thinking about your well-being.

“It’s fine.”

“I think you should know why I’m staying here.”

Xie Jingcheng got up and started getting dressed.

Her process of changing clothes wasn’t complicated. She opened the wardrobe, picked out a light outfit, and prepared to change into it.

Summer was too hot; even one extra layer was too much.

Song Qingxing saw Xie Jingcheng’s smooth back and instinctively wanted to look away, but then she thought, the sheets have already been rolled; why should she still be shy?

Although that’s what she thought, Song Qingxing wasn’t brazen enough to stare openly without restraint. That would be too much like a pervert and a voyeur!

So, she covered her eyes with her hand, leaving a small gap between her fingers to peek through.

This way, if she got caught, she could quickly close her fingers and pretend she hadn’t been looking at all.

Perfect!

Song Qingxing thought about it and immediately put it into action. Because she was up, the curtain had been slightly pulled open, and the light of the rising sun was already visible in the not-so-bright sky outside.

Xie Jingcheng’s back was fair and delicate, like a smooth, rounded piece of beautiful jade. Her figure was fantastic: narrow shoulders and a slender waist, yet not as fragile as that of an ordinary woman.

She gave a genuine sense of security.

Especially the muscles on the side of her waist; the feel of them was absolutely wonderful.

While admiring, Song Qingxing felt her nasal cavity heat up. When she realized the other person had already put on her clothes, Song Qingxing immediately ran into the washroom feeling guilty.

By the time they finished breakfast and arrived at the set, the day was fully bright. Because it was high summer, the morning was still cool, but the stuffy heat would gradually start to rise around eight or nine o’clock.

The male lead’s state wasn’t very good.

After all, yesterday’s filming wrapped up so late, and he had been scolded by the director, so he naturally wasn’t in a good mood.

As a result, he made even more mistakes today.

Song Qingxing read her lines until her lips were chapped. Acting was like this: sometimes inspiration struck, and a scene could be passed quickly, but other times, they had to constantly re-shoot, sometimes managing only ten-odd minutes of story footage in a whole day.

When she sat back down to rest, a cup of slightly cool tea was handed to her. The tea had clearly been taken out of the fridge but had been sitting in the sun for a while, so it was only slightly cool.

Drinking water like this wouldn’t cause a stomach ache.

“Thank you.”

Song Qingxing took the cup and drank small sips through the straw.

“I don’t think you’ll be able to finish these scenes today either.”

Xie Jingcheng spoke up and stood up.

“Xie Jingcheng, what are you going to do?”

Song Qingxing reached out and grabbed her wrist, not wanting Xie Jingcheng to go talk to the director and grant her special privileges; that would be too much.

“I’m going to act opposite him.”

Xie Jingcheng turned around and patted the back of Song Qingxing’s hand with her warm palm.

“In this situation, Qingxing, it won’t work no matter how many times you perform.”

This was originally just a web drama, but after the Xie family and Song Qingxing’s company invested, the drama’s status became more significant.

Therefore, the filming naturally couldn’t be sloppy.

Xie Jingcheng squatted slightly, her eyes full of concern. It was clear that the male lead was a bit volatile because he had been targeted by the director too many times these past few days.

As a result, his co-star suffered along with him.

But if she acted opposite him, he probably wouldn’t dare complain.

“I’m worried about you.”

“Anyway, no matter how much footage we shoot right now, we won’t get a finished product. I might as well act a few scenes opposite him and coach him.”

Song Qingxing was stunned.

She hadn’t expected Xie Jingcheng to go to such lengths for her.

“But…”

“There are no ‘buts.’ Your acting is improving, but his is not. So let me teach him.”

“Get a good rest this morning. If he still hasn’t learned by the afternoon, we’ll just replace the lead actor. I don’t care if your company withdraws its investment or not.”

Song Qingxing: !

At this moment, Xie Jingcheng’s image in her heart became tall and mighty. This was truly the ultimate domineering CEO.
