After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 14

Chapter 14

“Still so thin,” Chang Ning said, looking at the bones protruding from Xu Ling’s shoulders.

Before filming started, she had asked Xu Ling to eat a bit more and gain some weight. She did gain eight jin, but she still looked very thin. As an assassin, she looked a little unconvincing.

Wen Xi was a very frugal person. Although the shady middleman took a large cut, she wasn’t short of money. She just didn’t buy unnecessary, conspicuous things.

But she never skimped on food. How could you train and fight if you weren’t well-fed?

Jian Yu, looking like this, seemed as if Wen Xi wasn’t feeding her enough.

Xu Ling looked up with a “what can I do” expression. She was trying her best to eat, but that was just her body type.

“I guess this is it. Good thing most of the close combat scenes are on Qin Cong’an. Her figure is just right, so suitable,” Chang Ning couldn’t help but praise.

Anyone who saw Qin Cong’an’s figure would be envious. Her muscles were just right, possessing both strength and beauty, and she was very curvy.

Just hearing Chang Ning say that made Xu Ling start to swallow. Her mind was filled with her body. It was good, incredibly good.

But when she took off her clothes, her breasts were large and soft. She loved to bury her face in them and kiss them until they were covered in saliva.

From a distance, Qin Cong’an seemed to hear them talking about her and glanced over at Xu Ling.

Startled, Xu Ling immediately averted her gaze and looked down at the old, broken floorboards. But for some reason, she thought of the broken places on her own body, and they suddenly began to ache faintly, a feeling that was both painful and pleasurable.

Xu Ling felt like she was becoming a pervert. With so many people around, what on earth was she thinking about?

Finally, after the makeup was done and they had rehearsed, they were ready to shoot.

There was no need to act. Xu Ling just had to be herself, and like Jian Yu, the sensation on her back made her breath uneven. She bit her lower lip, her shoulders rising and falling with each breath.

Qin Cong’an’s breath fanned across her back, scorching hot. Her face pressed against her, both cool and fiery.

Chang Ning didn’t call “cut” for a long time, waiting for them to develop the scene further.

“The medicine smells bad,” Xu Ling said.

“Okay,” Qin Cong’an replied in a hoarse voice, her breath lingering on her back, sweeping over her shoulders.

Her fingers slid down her spine. Xu Ling’s beautiful back arched, the hollows and curves accentuated by the dim light. Even the wound looked erotic.

Chang Ning finally called cut. She felt that if she didn’t, the two of them were going to start something right there. Of course, it was just the atmosphere; she knew they wouldn’t actually do anything.

After shooting a few more shots from different angles, Xu Ling went to the restroom.

The two of them separated as soon as the scene was done, looking as if they weren’t very familiar.

They didn’t speak during the subsequent filming either. Qin Cong’an was as cold as ever, and Xu Ling also put on a calm facade.

Xu Ling was angry last night, but she had still taken her words to heart. Outside, they would maintain their distance and not cause her any trouble.

But in truth, Xu Ling really wanted to cause her trouble, to ruin her just like that. But then again, she couldn’t bear to.

They watched the playback of the scene behind the monitor.

Chang Ning could barely contain her smile. “Good, good, very evocative. Thank you for your hard work.”

She looked to her left, then to her right. Both of them were expressionless, a stark contrast to the bursting desire in the shot.

Chang Ning said again, sincerely, “Hard work, hard work. It really isn’t easy.”

She knew Qin Cong’an had a boyfriend. She didn’t know if Xu Ling was straight or not. Seeing her at the lesbian bar last time, the way she dodged when she was hit on, she was probably straight too. But they had acted out the ambiguity she wanted, which must have taken a lot of effort.

In the elevator going up to the hotel, everyone was silent.

The elevator doors opened, and the crew members got out, leaving only Xu Ling and Qin Cong’an inside.

Still, no one spoke. It was quiet.

The elevator doors opened again, and the two of them walked out, one after the other.

Xu Ling didn’t stop walking. She didn’t stop at her own room but followed Qin Cong’an into hers, kicking the door shut behind her. She lowered her head and kissed her mouth, sucking on the slightly bruised wound.

“We got it in one take today,” Xu Ling said. “I don’t think Director Chang expected us to get it in one take. My suggestion was good, wasn’t it? She said we had great chemistry.”

Qin Cong’an didn’t answer her question, just kissed her back and then lifted her by the thighs, holding her up.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness startled Xu Ling, and she quickly wrapped her arms around her neck, then continued to kiss her, as if she could never get enough.

The two tumbled onto the bed. Xu Ling caressed her strong arms, loving them so much. It was a pity she had to be on camera; otherwise, she would have definitely left a string of bite marks on them.

Qin Cong’an still didn’t speak, not even looking at her. She just avoided the place where she had been bitten and moved downwards.

Xu Ling asked her, “Why aren’t you kissing here? Is it because of the smell of the medicine?”

“Do you want me to? It’ll hurt.”

“It doesn’t hurt. It’s already healed,” Xu Ling lied. It did hurt. The next second, she hissed in pain, but she loved it.

It was as if she had done something wrong and was being punished.

Both leads were going to the concert.

Chang Ning received their leave requests in advance and arranged the schedule to give them the day off.

Gu Qi was surprised to see Qin Cong’an get in the car. “Sister An, you’re going too?”

“Can’t I?” Qin Cong’an’s gaze swept over Xu Ling, who was leaning against the car window, not looking at her.

“Of course you can! It’s just that I heard from Sister Huai that there were only two tickets.”

“I don’t need a ticket.”

Gu Qi thought to herself that it made sense. Qin Cong’an had been acting since her freshman year of college and had been in the industry for ten years, ten very successful years. She was different from small-time actors like them.

Her connections and resources were far greater than theirs. She could probably just show her face and get into Jiang Ruzhi’s concert.

After the car started, no one spoke for a while. It was quiet.

Gu Qi had a cold, beautiful face. In the movie, she played a self-serving middleman. Whether dealing with Wen Xi or clients, she was ruthless and a woman of few words.

Before being killed by Wen Xi, she had only cracked a bloody smile, saying nothing, and had gone peacefully.

But Gu Qi herself was completely different. She hated this kind of silence and didn’t want the atmosphere to turn cold. She always felt she should find something to talk about.

Usually, Qin Cong’an didn’t chat with people, and Gu Qi didn’t know what they had in common. But since they were all going to listen to Jiang Ruzhi sing, she asked, “Sister An, which of Jiang Jiang’s songs do you like?”

“I haven’t heard any.”

“…” Gu Qi was so shocked she was speechless. You haven’t heard any, and you’re going to the concert? This was a rare day off. If she hadn’t heard any, what was the point of going? She might as well be sleeping in the hotel.

Xu Ling was also shocked. It seemed what her fans said was true. She really didn’t like listening to music. But not a single song? Then why was she going?

If it was because she knew Jiang Ruzhi well, Jiang Ruzhi had held so many concerts, and there was no news of her ever attending one. The fans of both probably didn’t even know they knew each other.

Then what other possibility was there…

It couldn’t be that she was going just because she was going, right?

Gu Qi asked, “Then why are you going?”

Good question, Xu Ling thought, her ears perking up.

“I’m bored,” Qin Cong’an said. “Can you please not talk? I want to sleep for a bit.”

“Oh, sorry, sorry.” Gu Qi immediately fell silent and looked at Xu Ling for help, her eyes communicating, Sister An is so hard to talk to, right, right?

Xu Ling didn’t give her any signal back. She made a “shh” gesture and also closed her eyes to rest.

Gu Qi felt a wave of despair. Okay… in this situation, music is my lifesaver!

She wanted to take out her headphones to listen to music, but she couldn’t find them no matter how much she searched. Aah, I give up. She had been thinking about going to the concert and probably chatting with Xu Ling the whole way, so she hadn’t even thought of bringing headphones. Despair, this was true despair.

The closer they got to the stadium, the worse the traffic became.

They finally arrived, put on their masks, and got out of the car. Qin Cong’an also wore a baseball cap. The three of them entered through a special entrance.

The VIP seats here weren’t assigned. It was first-come, first-served. The three of them decided to sit in the back.

Gu Qi made an excuse to go to the restroom first. In reality, she wanted to be the last to choose a seat. She didn’t want Qin Cong’an sitting next to her. Who would want to sit next to someone who hadn’t heard a single one of Jiang Jiang’s songs? She wouldn’t be able to get hyped.

Xu Ling looked at Qin Cong’an sitting next to her and asked, “You haven’t heard a single song?”

“No.”

“Then why did you come?”

“Such a familiar question. I believe I’ve already answered it.”

Xu Ling scoffed inwardly. Fine, I was overthinking it. I actually thought Qin Cong’an’s answer to Gu Qi and to me would be different.

So naive. So she was really just bored? Xu Ling wanted to roll her eyes. She did find her quite boring.

Qin Cong’an picked up her phone, glanced at it, and then held it out to Xu Ling. “Do you want to go?”

Xu Ling looked and saw a chat screen. The name displayed was Jiang Ruzhi.

Jiang Ruzhi: [Baby, you’re here? Come backstage. If you can’t find it, I’ll have someone come get you.]

Xu Ling felt there were too many things to comment on and didn’t know where to start. After a few seconds of hesitation, she asked, “She calls you baby?”

“If you get to know her, you’ll be her baby too.”

“…”

“Happy?”

Xu Ling’s feelings were actually a bit complicated, and she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. But being called “baby” by her favorite singer was probably a happy thing. “Mhm.”

She heard Qin Cong’an laugh, a cold laugh.

“Then let’s go. I’ll introduce a new baby to her,” Qin Cong’an said, standing up.

Xu Ling could clearly feel that her tone was strange, but she wouldn’t think in that direction now. She just thought she was being crazy.

Of course, she really wanted to get up close and personal with Jiang Ruzhi. She also stood up and followed Qin Cong’an, then asked another question that had been on her mind since she saw her phone.

“I thought you used a side account for private contacts, but why are you using your main account with her?”

Xu Ling saw that her WeChat profile picture was two eyes in the dark, a small black cat, not the blank one.

Qin Cong’an glanced at her, her mask and hat hiding most of her expression. “I can only say that your ‘thought’ was wrong.”

“Then why?” Xu Ling pressed.

“Because… our relationship is very special.”

Xu Ling was stung by her use of the word “special.” Heh, it is special. She asked again, “Then am I the only one on your side account?”

“Mhm.” Qin Cong’an’s tone was tinged with impatience. “Just how many questions do you have?”

“None now.”

Xu Ling’s tone also turned cold, but not as cold as her heart.

She knew. She understood why she had used a side account to add her. Wasn’t it just for the convenience of blocking her after it was over? She didn’t want her to know her main account because she was afraid of being unable to shake her off and causing trouble later.

Qin Cong’an probably used a side account for all her short-term relationships on set. After filming, she would just delete them. That’s why she was the only one there now.

So very special.
