The Fake Daughter is a Max-Level Green Tea [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Target Locked

Lin Chumu cast a cold gaze: “Are you suggesting I can’t do it?”

Lu Chaoqing quickly shook her head. Without waiting for Lin Chumu to continue, she immediately climbed the ladder to the area above.

Her goal was very clear: she wanted Lin Chumu to jump down with her from the start.

The MV shooting time was neither too long nor too short, but she estimated Lin Chumu would leave soon after completing her part. Directly increasing the favorability to 2 was near impossible because it was too difficult on her side, so she had to increase the difficulty for Lin Chumu first.

Increasing the difficulty meant increasing the duration, and increasing the duration meant more physical contact. Lu Chaoqing had planned this out long ago. Regardless of what Lin Chumu thought, she had to be thick-skinned about it.

At least one person needed to take the initiative between them, right? Otherwise, where would the story come from?

Watching Lin Chumu climb up from below, Lu Chaoqing immediately went to greet her.

Their debut song was called Against the Wind. As the official center, Lu Chaoqing held the core role in the MV. One scene depicted the angel’s wings being broken by a gale. Lu Chaoqing would run forward and leap from a high building, ultimately landing in the arms of a mysterious woman.

There were originally three scene designs here. Lin Chumu didn’t change it randomly, but merely reverted the plan to one of the previous designs, all of which had been reviewed and approved for use. As one of the project supervisors, Lin Chumu had the authority to speak up, and such a minor change didn’t require approval from above; it could be done directly after a quick discussion.

The shoot was now changed to Lu Chaoqing running forward, ultimately falling into Lin Chumu’s embrace, with Lin Chumu carrying her as they leaped from the tall building. The scene was more yuri-flavored and exciting than before, but the others didn’t seem keenly aware of this, continually discussing the set and makeup issues.

A few minutes later, the stylist came to tidy up both their hair. Lu Chaoqing walked to the starting point and sprinted forward the moment the clapperboard snapped.

 The girl’s back sprouted wings that trembled in the wind. They were untouched by the hardship of the elements, purely defined in every quill. Large swaths of feathers fluttered and were torn away in the escalating gale, and it seemed as if a pure white rain fell over the storm-ravaged city.

 She exerted all her strength to rush forward, hurtling towards the hazy, unknown destination. The moment the long wind pierced her wings, the snow-white long dress billowed like a lotus flower, and the middle part of the wings was broken at the root. The intense pain made the girl clench her jaw tightly.

The moment her foot slipped, a double image seemed to flash before her eyes, and then she fell into a soft, fragrant embrace. The mysterious woman in black had a faint, familiar warmth and scent, making her involuntarily reach out and wrap her arms around the other person’s waist.

Lin Chumu did indeed smell very good.

Lu Chaoqing was not very sensitive to perfume and couldn’t immediately identify the scent. It was like the aloofness of snow lotus, combined with the faint warmth of magnolia and the tranquility of mahogany. When the various notes blended into the top, middle, and base notes, Lu Chaoqing could only remember that it was a very comforting smell, vaguely imprinted in her memory.

The instant the woman’s soft palm covered her waist, Lu Chaoqing trustingly buried her head in Lin Chumu’s shoulder. The perfectly designed height difference, based on their shoes and natural height, made the posture perfectly compatible. When Lu Chaoqing leaned in, she politely avoided Lin Chumu’s softer area, slightly arching her back.

Just before Lin Chumu was about to leap down with Lu Chaoqing, the MV director timely shouted: “Cut!”

“You’re giving her almost all your trust, so why avoid her a little bit? You wouldn’t be able to think that much in that moment. When you lunge at her, you have to throw yourself into her arms completely, holding nothing back.” The MV director repeatedly reviewed the shot, incidentally circling the areas of physical contact between Lu Chaoqing and Lin Chumu. “Understand, Xiao Qing?”

Lu Chaoqing nodded, then heard another person muttering nearby: “Oh well, what’s the big deal with two girls…”

A few others burst into laughter.

In this world, same-sex marriage was not yet fully legalized, only on the agenda. Therefore, most people’s attitude toward homosexuality was ambiguous—neither supportive nor opposed. They probably hadn’t seen such a thing often. Lu Chaoqing initially wanted to laugh along, but she quickly caught sight of Lin Chumu’s slightly serious expression and immediately held back her smile.

A woman nearby, probably assuming Lu Chaoqing disliked this kind of joke, gradually restrained her laughter and patted Lu Chaoqing’s shoulder, carelessly hooking her arm: “It’s fine, it’s fine. I know Xiao Qing is definitely straight.”

Lu Chaoqing: “Not exactly…” Her voice got softer and softer, and the final word “straight” was barely a whisper. But when she saw Lin Chumu’s seemingly unhappy expression, she immediately spoke up loudly: “Sister Li, that’s not quite right. Sexual orientation has no normal or abnormal division. Both heterosexuality and homosexuality are normal orientations, as scientists have long stated. Besides, same-sex marriage legalization is currently in the voting stage, and over 70% of people agree that same-sex marriage should be protected by the Marriage Law.”

Lu Chaoqing blinked. Seeing the other person’s eyebrows slightly furrow, she wasn’t scared, but her voice softened slightly: “I’m sorry, Sister Li, I got a little excited just now, but Sister Li wouldn’t be someone who goes against the majority, would you?”

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

“Alright, let’s hurry up and start. Don’t keep Miss Lin waiting too long.”

The director saw that Lin Chumu was just standing there without joining in the light-hearted jokes to ease the tension, and immediately spoke up to smooth things over.

The second take began quickly. This time, Lu Chaoqing quietly apologized to Lin Chumu before the start, and without waiting to see if she heard, she ran toward the starting point.

Because she had practiced and received instructions before, Lu Chaoqing’s movements were even more skilled this time. The strong winds whipped her soft hair. The moment the girl leaped forward with her long legs and lunged toward Lin Chumu, she tightly clasped her arms around the other woman’s neck. Just as she buried her head in Lin Chumu’s shoulder, she felt that the sensation on her body was slightly different.

Lin Chumu, whose arm was wrapped around her waist, pressed her forward with a bit more force. Lu Chaoqing’s flat chest happened to brush against the other person’s softness, instantly highlighting the difference between the two.
