Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 97

Although Xie Jingcheng was initially surprised and hadn’t reacted, she quickly understood why the little cat had flared up its fur, and she couldn’t help but squint her eyes and let out a light laugh.

Yet, her mouth was still indulging in the sweet burden.

After about a few minutes, a certain person’s lungs started to give out. Xie Jingcheng’s keen ears could hear Song Qingxing’s short, hurried breathing as she pulled away from her lips.

“Alright, if you retaliate against me again, your lip makeup will smudge.”

Xie Jingcheng reached out and gently rubbed the other person’s earlobe. Only then did Song Qingxing reluctantly draw back, and just as she wiped the moisture from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, a wet wipe was handed over.

Xie Jingcheng patiently helped her wipe the smudged lipstick from the corner of her mouth, a splash of vibrant red staining the white wet wipe.

“Sister Song, the director is looking for you, we’re about to film. Where did you go…”

Yu Zhi ran over, panting heavily. She had clearly been searching around for a long time. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she leaned on her knees, taking deep breaths.

After intense physical exertion, people’s eyes often feel momentarily dizzy and dark. After catching her breath, Yu Zhi finally noticed the two of them nestled together in an extremely ambiguous way.

Oh no, she thought, did I just stumble into another place I shouldn’t have?

She was just about to apologize and discreetly step aside.

But Song Qingxing stopped her.

“Wait, I’m going with you.”

The work was important, after all. Yu Zhi couldn’t let Sister Song turn into a “love brain” who only cared about dating. Yu Zhi stood up and moved beside Song Qingxing, ready to lead her back.

However, Xie Jingcheng didn’t move aside, still dominantly occupying the space beside Song Qingxing.

Yu Zhi could only walk ahead of the two of them.

The surroundings were completely silent. Yu Zhi couldn’t help but inwardly scream, Ahhh! Being sandwiched between a couple who are dating, I feel like a high-powered light bulb.

Fortunately, the path wasn’t too long. After navigating the winding, narrow small path, they arrived at the set.

The assistant director was currently going over lines with Li Hai. Seeing the two leads emerge from a secluded spot, one of whom had an unnaturally red face, he immediately understood.

If this were anyone else, he would definitely put on the air of an assistant director and go criticize them. They have no sense of time. Doing this openly on the first day of filming.

But unfortunately, the background of one of the participants in the incident was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

So, he had no choice but to let it go, pretending as if he hadn’t seen anything, and continued coaching Li Hai.

Li Hai naturally noticed the assistant director’s peculiar gaze. Following his line of sight, he saw that enchanting peony.

Initially, he didn’t have any particular feeling toward Song Qingxing. Even though the industry praised her to the skies, he thought she was just another actress.

Without makeup and refined photo editing, she’s nothing.

But after truly meeting her in person, he finally understood what stunning and all-natural meant.

Song Qingxing was famously known in the industry for not having had plastic surgery. After all, she debuted when she was young, and her idol records were readily available. It could be said that besides shedding some baby fat, she was essentially unchanged.

Who wouldn’t want to possess someone like that?

No wonder a picky person like Xie Jingcheng fell deeply into the cage of secret love after acting in just a few scenes with Song Qingxing.

However, Li Hai wasn’t that kind of person.

He was a renowned playboy in the industry, yet his reputation was remarkably good, always maintaining peaceful breakups with every girlfriend.

A philanderer desires to pick every flower he sees.

Li Hai harbored such a thought, but he didn’t dare act on it. After all, Xie Jingcheng was like a ferocious tiger guarding a treasure, preventing everyone around who coveted the treasure from getting close.

For now, he could only suppress this desire.

Li Hai continued listening to the assistant director’s instructions, nodding in agreement from time to time, acting very much like a submissive junior.

Song Qingxing’s filming today went quite smoothly. Many scenes passed on the first take. Li Hai had spent some time in the industry, having won a few Best Supporting Actor awards, so he was much better than the rookie male lead from that web series.

Therefore, acting opposite him wasn’t terrible.

In this moment, Song Qingxing finally understood the pained expression on the faces of the veteran actors she used to act with.

Perhaps it was because my acting was so bad.

Thinking this, Song Qingxing’s cheeks flushed slightly.

She shook her head, choosing not to dwell on it. Since she had been reborn, it meant she had a chance to start everything over.

After giving herself a pep talk, Song Qingxing noticed Xie Jingcheng was gone. She had taken a phone call earlier, and her expression had turned a little gloomy. It must have been about her family affairs.

When she returns later, Xie Jingcheng would definitely not be in a good mood. Maybe I should buy some fruit she likes?

Song Qingxing mused. The former her would definitely not have been this considerate, but things were different now. She knew how to please people.

After some thought, Song Qingxing decisively shifted her gaze to Tang Tang, who was holding her phone and grinning goofily.

Song Qingxing: …

Does Xie Jingcheng know her assistant is this silly?

However, Song Qingxing had no desire to spy on others’ phones, so she lightly coughed to remind Tang Tang that she was about to ask a question.

Of course, if she had taken one more step forward, she would have discovered the ambiguous video of the two of them playing on the other’s phone.

“Um, Tang Tang… I want to ask you something.”

Song Qingxing started somewhat awkwardly. She hadn’t asked anyone for a favor much in this life, nor even before her rebirth, so even this small request felt difficult to utter.

“Ah!”

The girl jerked her shoulders as if startled, then shoved her phone between her legs.

“I’m sorry, I really wasn’t peeking.”

Song Qingxing felt a bit helpless, feeling as if she had been mistaken for some pervert secretly checking phones.

“No…”

“It’s just that you suddenly appeared behind me, Qingxing, and startled me.”

There were some things Tang Tang certainly didn’t dare to say directly, because she was secretly watching a clip of their couple pairing. If she were found out, how embarrassing would that be?

“By the way, Qingxing, what did you want to ask?”

Tang Tang turned off her phone, finally sighing in relief. Not only was she slacking off at work, but she was also watching gossip about her boss. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this was a little wrong.

“It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask what kind of food Xie Jingcheng likes to eat.”

“This…”

Tang Tang hesitated for a moment. Honestly, she had been a personal assistant for so long, yet she really didn’t have much of an impression regarding her boss’s preferences.

“You don’t know, Tang Tang?”

Yu Zhi also walked over, her eyes showing disbelief. That shouldn’t be right. She had been responsible for Xie Jingcheng’s daily life for so long. How could she not even know her preferences?

“My boss doesn’t have any specific favorites, and she doesn’t like things that are too sweet or too spicy.”

Unfortunately, Tang Tang genuinely didn’t know.

Song Qingxing sighed, the thought crossing her mind, Am I going to have to present myself as a gift again?
