Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 82

Although Song Qingxing wanted to refuse, as she didn’t want to trouble Xie Jingcheng—after all, it was her own job—if she thought about it carefully, perhaps having Xie Jingcheng, the Film Empress, instruct the male lead was the best course of action.

So, she could only nod.

“Mhm, I’ll trouble you then.”

At the same time, she thought to herself that Xie Jingcheng was always doing things for her lately. She couldn’t keep taking things without giving back; that would be too much of a jerk move.

She needed to offer some kind of return.

Song Qingxing was a bit clumsy, not unintelligent, but very slow and awkward when it came to emotional matters—in short, she had low emotional intelligence.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have offended so many people in her previous life.

When people encounter trouble, they subconsciously want to consult those close to them.

Song Qingxing originally wanted to ask Yu Zhi for advice, but just as she opened her chat box, she shook her head.

No… no!

Yu Zhi herself had never been in a relationship, so how could she know about winning a partner’s favor?

Asking a layman about this was absolutely out of the question. Luckily, she was still a top-tier celebrity right now, and she still had quite a few friends before she faded.

Although she couldn’t bare her heart to them like before, occasionally chatting and maintaining a false social facade was still possible.

Song Qingxing chose someone who frequently dated.

This person was a notorious “playa” in the industry, known for successfully reeling in every male star they set their sights on, usually succeeding with one hook. They were even jokingly called the “male god harvester” by people in the industry.

This person should be very experienced in dating, right?

Although the person wasn’t dating women, the playbook for dating was the same, and these things weren’t gender-specific.

Song Qingxing didn’t hesitate much and sent a message to the person, starting with polite small talk: asking what they were up to, if they were busy, what the weather was like there, to start the conversation.

Then, she gradually went deeper.

I heard you’re dating recently, I should congratulate you.

Who knew that the other person would bring up the topic of romance first? Song Qingxing understood in her heart that she and Xie Jingcheng had been too high-profile.

Most celebrities hide their relationships.

Yet, the two of them chose to go against the tide and openly announce it to the public, which made it understandable why they became a subject of conversation.

Yeah.

But it’s actually not that simple, our relationship is not just a simple romantic one.

Song Qingxing couldn’t bring herself to lie.

Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you. If anything, I’d say you’re quite capable. I heard there are countless people in the industry who want to throw themselves at Xie Jingcheng, but she only likes you. That’s a kind of luck.

The other person sent a few emojis, all of which were expressions of blessing.

I also feel it’s luck. She has done so much for me, and if I don’t give something back, I always feel…

She always felt too much like a “gold-digger.”

I get it, you’ve come to ask me for the Dating Bible?

The other person seemed to understand.

I don’t know what Xie Jingcheng likes, but I guess she likes you. Whatever you do, she’ll probably be happy.

Song Qingxing bit her pink lips with her porcelain white teeth. Damn it! Why did everyone in the world know Xie Jingcheng liked her?

Was it because the other person’s initiative was too obvious?

That made sense, after all, the difference in their backgrounds was significant.

If Xie Jingcheng merely liked beautiful women, she could freely choose from not only the entertainment industry but also the modeling world or other circles.

Given her status, there would likely be quite a few people willing to throw themselves at her.

Specifically, what should I do?

You know, I have no experience dating others. My company used to manage me strictly.

Song Qingxing had been chatting with the person and hadn’t paid much attention to the situation on the set. It wasn’t that she didn’t care, but she figured Xie Jingcheng could easily handle the male lead.

Because the male lead was a shareholder’s son, he had always been pampered on set, with only the director daring to scold him once or twice, and even then, not too much.

However, Xie Jingcheng wouldn’t tolerate such arrogance.

Want to compare family backgrounds?

Few people in the circle could surpass Xie Jingcheng.

The person gave her many suggestions. Song Qingxing looked at the messy array of ideas and finally settled on one that was barely executable: cooking!

As for gifts, Xie Jingcheng was in no need of anything. A simple watch of hers was worth nearly a million dollars.

Song Qingxing genuinely didn’t have the audacity to buy a gift of that caliber.

So, she could only choose something that represented her sincerity. Although her cooking skills weren’t great before, she had been cooking for herself since renting the apartment.

Her culinary skills were barely passable.

She hadn’t reached the point of blowing up the kitchen or poisoning people.

Song Qingxing started desperately recalling in her mind what Xie Jingcheng liked to eat, but unfortunately, although they had eaten together many times, most of the time Xie Jingcheng chose things from Song Qingxing’s menu.

However, even so.

Song Qingxing could still sense a few things. There were some dishes the other person didn’t eat often, and some they would take extra bites of.

These subtle details could be found if one observed carefully.

Xie Jingcheng probably liked fish.

However, preparing fish was indeed a life-altering problem.

Many celebrities have hardly ever been in a kitchen, which is why, when filming variety shows, they often hold the knife with the blunt side facing down.

It seemed this gift couldn’t be prepared immediately; she needed to study.

Song Qingxing made up her mind, thanked the person she was talking to several times, sent a red envelope, and then contentedly closed her phone, deciding to rest.

But just as she was closing her eyes, she heard a commotion from the filming area.

“How I act is my idea, you don’t need to manage it. Don’t think you’re so great just because you’re a Film Empress. You’re playing the female role, I’m playing the male role; they are completely different!”

The male lead finally exploded at this moment.

Because he couldn’t stand the high-pressure environment on the set anymore. When he filmed before, he was always praised wherever he went.

He could accept the director giving him pointers, but who was this person in a guest role to interfere? Just because she won a Film Empress award? Who knows if that award was bought with family money!

Oh my, this male actor has quite the proud temper.

She hadn’t noticed it usually.

Song Qingxing stood up, and Yu Zhi quickly rushed over.

“Sister Song, just rest. Didn’t Xie Jingcheng tell you to rest well? She’s only replacing you to rehearse with the male lead.”

Song Qingxing shook her head.

“They’re about to fight. If I don’t go stop them, that would be too mean.”

That would be like watching tigers fight from across the mountain.

“What are you afraid of? Does that male lead really have the guts to hit Xie Jingcheng? Does he have the ability…”

Before Yu Zhi could finish her sentence, she saw the male lead shove Xie Jingcheng. Her breathing stopped; the audacity of this person was too great.

But with the situation escalating to this point, Song Qingxing clearly couldn’t keep lying on the chair. She was about to go up to mediate, but it was already too late.

Xie Jingcheng grabbed the male lead’s hand and twisted it hard. With a scream, the male lead stumbled and fell awkwardly onto the ground.
