Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 92

The black glass of the nanny van reflected the quickly receding scenery. Although it was already late autumn, there were still many dark green leaves stubbornly clinging to the branches.

Xie Jingcheng’s cheeks were flushed. Since childhood, she had never been moved by a single sentence that struck so directly at her heart.

This feeling was like a response to months of persistent effort.

It was also like a devout person praying to a deity, who looks up and sees the divine being descend from the moon, bathed in moonlight, answering their anticipation.

“Are you saying…”

Perhaps from sheer excitement, her teeth bit into the soft flesh of her tongue, but none of that mattered. Xie Jingcheng leaned closer abruptly.

Her nose brushed against the tip of the other person’s nose, their breathing almost syncing with her heartbeat.

“Qingxing, are you admitting that you like me?”

This was simply unbelievable!

Even a person with a heart disorder, even a person constantly filled with possessiveness, would feel their heart overflowing with sweetness upon receiving such a bold confession from their beloved.

“Does this kind of thing need to be said out loud…”

Song Qingxing turned her head away. She had only been stating the facts honestly; why was Xie Jingcheng acting as if she were making a passionate confession?

Seriously, there were no roses, no candles, no ring—this didn’t count as a confession at all.

“No, I’m just happy.”

Having said that, Xie Jingcheng ignored the presence of the driver in the front or whether the partition was closed, and turned her head to kiss Song Qingxing.

Soft lips met, and Song Qingxing’s pupils dilated. She had intended to push her away immediately, but for some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

She just let Xie Jingcheng take the initiative.

However, Xie Jingcheng was, after all, from a scholarly family and a top-tier wealthy household, possessing her own sense of reserve and restraint. Therefore, after only a brief contact, she sat back.

The efforts she had made all this time were finally rewarded, and she should be the happiest person, yet at this moment, her heart was pounding uncontrollably. This had surpassed happiness and reached the critical point of excitement.

The driver silently drove forward, not daring to look back once from beginning to end. Although he was focusing on the road ahead, he could still hear some movement.

They certainly couldn’t disturb the young lady’s pleasure.

So, the driving speed was a little slower.

This filming location was still in the middle of nowhere, with only occasional groups of extras going in and out.

They were all transported by bus.

The nanny van turned into the film and television base. They weren’t in a hurry to shoot today but were just coming to check on the preparation and say hello to the director.

As the two got out of the car, they saw familiar faces—people they had spent time with during the previous movie shoot.

They were currently setting up scaffolding and building scenes.

Xie Jingcheng stepped out of the car and went straight to the director. Reshooting was her idea, and an ordinary actor certainly couldn’t have pulled it off.

However, doing so inevitably messed up the director’s initial schedule, so she felt somewhat apologetic.

“I couldn’t tolerate the situation with Peng Zhi’en. You don’t mind, do you?”

Xie Jingcheng’s tone was gentle. For this young lady born with a silver spoon, it was already a very good attitude.

“Of course, I don’t mind.”

“After all, this is my work. If it’s filmed, it’s meant to be submitted for awards.”

The director smiled.

“It’s just a pity I chose the wrong person back then. Peng Zhi’en had quite a reputation and kept approaching me, and his attitude was so sincere that I agreed to let him join the crew.”

Xie Jingcheng now understood that the other person’s goal had been herself from the start.

The director was also explaining his mistake in casting, but Xie Jingcheng wasn’t angry.

“That’s not your fault. Some people just like to pretend, looking innocent and harmless but being vicious underneath.”

Although Xie Jingcheng came from a good family, she wasn’t a princess in an ivory tower and had some experience with the dangers of the outside world.

After they chatted for a while, Song Qingxing found a table and eagerly opened the script. The script had undergone some modifications this time, but they weren’t major.

After all, since they were reshooting, the director still wanted to polish it as much as possible.

Song Qingxing read through it page by page, enjoying the revised script. When she was reborn, this movie had already been shot to the final cut. Although she didn’t have a strong impression of the movie when she first was reborn, she had since made up for it by studying the script.

Now, she was reading the modified script with great interest.

After all, every solid step she took would be her capital to stay in the entertainment industry in the future.

She couldn’t rely solely on fans or traffic anymore.

As she was engrossed in reading the script, a glass of lemon juice was suddenly placed on the table. The liquid in the glass was yellowish, suggesting that honey had likely been added.

“Yu Zhi, you don’t need to prepare this for me. We’re not in a hurry to memorize lines today; we’re just here to say hello to the director and everyone.”

Song Qingxing didn’t raise her head, guessing it was Yu Zhi, who had followed in the car behind the nanny van.

Accompanying her while acting was, after all, her job. However, she wasn’t very thirsty right now and didn’t really care for honey water.

After all, sugary things like that pose a risk of gaining weight.

“I thought you would like it.”

A clear male voice sounded. Song Qingxing looked up and saw the man had light stubble, but his overall look was clean, and although he wasn’t wearing makeup, he didn’t appear greasy.

Compared to the overly ‘technological’ look of many male stars’ faces, or the appearance of a ‘pale-faced scholar,’ this person looked much fresher.

“You are?”

Song Qingxing had a faint impression of this person but couldn’t quite recall him. After quickly reviewing her memory, she recalled his name seemed to be Li Hai.

In a few years, he would win the title of Best Actor.

But now, he was just a third-rate actor.

“My name is Li Hai. Miss Song, you might not know me, but I’m here to replace Peng Zhi’en’s role in the reshoot of the movie.”

“We’ll be partners from now on. Do you mind getting acquainted?”

Li Hai extended his hand. The man’s hand was large, but his palm had no calluses, indicating it was well-maintained.

“Just getting acquainted is enough. Why the handshake?”

Just as Song Qingxing was hesitating about whether to build a good relationship with the future Best Actor and expand her network, Xie Jingcheng suddenly cut in, startling her.

Her palm was taken by another hand, which was also warm but had much more delicate skin.

Like high-quality jade.

Xie Jingcheng’s eyes held displeasure, but she forcibly suppressed it.

“Teacher Xie, you’re here too.”

Li Hai gave only a polite smile, but in the end, his gaze couldn’t help but fall back on Song Qingxing’s face.

Such a beautiful woman.

Although Xie Jingcheng was also gorgeous, between a rose with thorns and a thornless peony, there was no need to wonder which was easier to pluck.

However, upon thinking about the recent highly publicized events online, Li Hai understood why Xie Jingcheng was so bothered by his approach.

It seemed the Best Actress was deeply in love.
