After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 67

Chapter 67

Xu Ling was very guilty, but this guilt was just the fear of her and Qin Cong’an’s relationship being discovered and causing trouble. But when Qin Cong’an asked that, for a moment, she really thought she had brought someone she shouldn’t have home, and suddenly felt like she had been caught cheating by her wife.

It was only when her lips were caressed by Qin Cong’an’s fingers that Xu Ling came back to her senses. She pushed her hand away and said anxiously, “What! No! Do you want to be discovered? My friends are all very nice, but they also have one thing in common: they love to gossip.”

“So?” Qin Cong’an asked, looking at her constantly moving lips.

“They might just go and tell someone!”

“Without evidence, what does it matter what they say?” Qin Cong’an was not flustered and asked again, “Does your former roommate also love to gossip? She doesn’t seem like it.”

Only after saying that did Qin Cong’an realize she had let it slip. Her persona was that she hadn’t seen the message, so how would she know that her former roommate was among the people who were coming? But Xu Ling, that fool, didn’t change her expression at all and didn’t notice this loophole.

Xu Ling just said with great certainty, “Oh, she really doesn’t. She’s the only one I trust.”

After saying that, Xu Ling was pushed on the shoulder and took two steps back. She saw Qin Cong’an’s bathrobe fall off, but the next second, the door was closed by Qin Cong’an. ?

Xu Ling was dumbfounded.

The door was pulled open a little again. Qin Cong’an’s arm covered her chest, revealing only half of her face. She looked up at her with a cold expression. “I’m taking a shower.”

Xu Ling quickly grabbed the door. “Then stay in the room after you’re done and don’t come out!”

“What time is it? What if I get hungry?”

“Ah…” This was a big problem. Xu Ling was so flustered she started to stomp her feet, then said, “I’ll bring you something to eat.”

Qin Cong’an didn’t respond and closed the door again, kicking the bathrobe on the floor. Stupid Xu Ling. Even seduction doesn’t work. It’s obvious her mind is completely on the people outside… Tsk, why is it so hard to be generous?

The water in the bathtub was almost full. Qin Cong’an got in, thinking, fine, let’s see how Xu Ling brings the food to the room. It would be strange if her gossipy friends weren’t curious.

When Xu Ling left the room, the other four friends had also arrived. Among them was a couple who had been friends for ten years and had only recently gotten together. As soon as they arrived, they were mercilessly teased by Meng Bai and Han Qiao.

In such a hyped atmosphere, Xu Ling would usually be very involved and would have to say a few words. But at this moment, she was a little absent-minded and detached, not saying a word, afraid of saying too much and letting the cat out of the bag.

“What’s wrong?” Meng Bai asked her. Seeing her shake her head, she asked, “How’s the soundproofing here? Is our volume okay?”

“It should be fine. And it’s a weekday during the day.”

“Why does your tone sound so strange?” Meng Bai found it strange. It felt particularly serious, not like her usual state.

“Haha!” Xu Ling quickly laughed a couple of times. “Hurry up and get the food out. I’m hungry.”

Everyone had a task. Soon, the coffee table was filled with opened food. There were all kinds of cuisines, satisfying everyone’s tastes.

Han Qiao found two bottles of red wine in the kitchen and brought them out, asking everyone, “Princesses, do you want to drink red wine?”

Xu Ling was fiddling with the TV. When she saw it, she screamed, “Wait!”

It gave Han Qiao a shock, and the red wine almost fell to the floor.

Xu Ling had never seen this packaging before. It must have been newly brought by Qin Cong’an. She couldn’t drink it without permission. Qin Cong’an would probably kill her. She stood up and took it, laughing awkwardly. “Not this one. I’ll get you something else.”

“So stingy, Xu Ling!”

“No! This is a gift for someone.” Xu Ling was getting more and more skilled at talking nonsense. She felt that after today, a large part of her brain cells would be dead.

Han Qiao followed her to the place where the wine was stored and took some. She took a whole armful and also filled a large bucket with ice, as if she were about to have a big drinking session. “Indulging in the middle of the day, so sinful, but so good.”

The food and drinks were all ready. Someone pulled all the blackout curtains closed. The effect was very good. The room was instantly dark. Then they turned on the floor lamp and adjusted it to the lowest brightness, to avoid eating into their noses.

The space was large enough, and there was plenty of room for eight people to sit around the coffee table.

Xu Ling started the movie, and everyone cheered. Seeing the movie title and the lead actors’ names appear in the overwhelming green on the screen, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, taking photos and videos.

“Our Lingzi is so successful! A big actress, a big star!”

Xu Ling chuckled, a little embarrassed, but very happy. This opportunity was indeed rare and had brought her many unexpected surprises. “Just lucky.”

Han Qiao’s glass was held high. “It would be even more successful if you could get that real big star!”

Xu Ling was drinking a whiskey cocktail. One second she was smiling, the next she was choked by these words and started to cough.

Li Yan, who was next to her, handed her a tissue. Xu Ling took it and wiped her mouth.

Li Yan glanced at the Qin Cong’an on the big screen and asked, “Do you like her?”

Meng Bai answered for Xu Ling, “I’ve already asked. That time they kissed, she said her heart was as still as water.”

“You’re lying!” Han Qiao shouted, not believing it. “Whose heart is as still as water when their face is that red? Xu Ling, don’t tell me you were acting. Then I’ll have to have the Oscar committee give you the little golden man next year!”

Xu Ling couldn’t say a word. She put down her wine glass and silently stuffed a dried fig into her mouth, chewing and chewing.

Everyone ate, drank, and chatted. They really weren’t in the mood to watch the movie. But when it got to the exciting parts, like the fight scenes, they were all still attracted and stopped to watch seriously.

This was the result of practicing for a long time before filming. The fight scenes were complex and beautiful. No matter when you paused, they looked both cool and ruthless, yet their postures were very fluid.

Every time there was a fight scene, everyone would stop what they were doing to watch. Every time there was a hint of ambiguity flowing between the two of them in the movie, Han Qiao would take the lead in shipping them. “No, they really look good together!”

Meng Bai actually thought so too, and even wanted to see them kiss. But after all, this was a movie.

In real life, one was the far-away Qin Cong’an, whose thoughts were unknown, and the other was the close-at-hand Li Yan, who liked (had liked?) Xu Ling. As a friend, Meng Bai of course felt that the possibility with the latter was higher.

Besides, she was also familiar with Li Yan. Li Yan was very smart, gentle, and strong. Being in a relationship with her would definitely be very happy.

But Li Yan had a non-competitive attitude, which made Meng Bai anxious. Although it was hellishly difficult for the ditz Xu Ling to fall in love, what if? Maybe one day she would be snatched up by someone who fought for her.

Xu Ling’s mind wasn’t in the living room at all. She couldn’t watch, couldn’t eat, her mind full of how to bring the food to the bedroom.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. A takeout had arrived late, but for Xu Ling, it was just in time. She went to the door to get it. As she passed through the living room, she used her body to block half of the view in the dim light and quickly went to the bedroom.

There was no one in the room. Xu Ling put the things on the table and opened the bathroom door a little. “I brought the food in for you.”

“Come here.” Qin Cong’an’s arm rose from the water, beckoning to her.

Xu Ling went out to confirm that she had indeed locked the door, then went in. The half of Qin Cong’an’s fair arm that was extended still had some foam on it. Xu Ling took her hand and squatted down, asking, “What is it?”

“A kiss.” Qin Cong’an pointed to her own cheek.

To die for. She had thought she was being called in for something. Xu Ling said in annoyance, “Do you have to kiss at a time like this!”

Qin Cong’an’s expression darkened. Her other hand rose and splashed water on Xu Ling. Xu Ling’s face and collar were all wet. She wiped it with her hand, her brow tightly furrowed as she glared at Qin Cong’an.

“Hurry up, or I’ll pull you in,” Qin Cong’an said, bringing her face closer, waiting for her to kiss.

At this moment, Xu Ling had no erotic thoughts at all, but with her like this, she had no choice but to lean over. She had originally thought it would just be a kiss on the cheek, but Qin Cong’an turned her face, and then held her face with her hand, directly taking her lips in her mouth. Her small, slippery tongue slid in, so soft, yet with an aggressive quality.

She didn’t know when Xu Ling had ended up sitting on the floor, her legs too weak to squat.

“What did you drink?” Qin Cong’an asked. “Lemon-flavored.”

“…Whiskey with lemon sparkling water.”

“Oh, right.” Qin Cong’an licked her lips. She could taste it. It was this flavor. “It’s pretty good. It wasn’t your roommate who mixed it, was it?”

“No, another friend did.” Xu Ling had been kissed into submission. She answered whatever she was asked, very obedient.

“What did you get me to eat?”

“I don’t know. I just grabbed it and came in. I didn’t look.”

Qin Cong’an wiped Xu Ling’s collar with her wet hand. “You’re done for if it’s something I don’t like.”

“…”

Xu Ling left the bathroom, her head spinning. She checked the food on the table. My god, coconut chicken. Qin Cong’an didn’t like coconut!

She had brought it for nothing!

But Xu Ling couldn’t take it out again. No one would be able to explain why someone was taking coconut chicken out of the bedroom.

Back in the living room, Xu Ling was immediately interrogated.

“What’s the situation? Why did you suddenly go back to your room with the takeout?”

Just then, the light from the TV shone on Xu Ling. Someone asked, “Wait, are your clothes wet?”

“Why does your mouth look swollen?”

“It wasn’t food. I bought something else… lipstick, yes, lipstick.” A lightbulb went off above Xu Ling’s head. “I opened it to try it, and I seem to be a little allergic. My clothes got wet when I was washing my face.”

It all connected! Xu Ling, you’re so smart!!

As expected, when you’re pushed to the limit, you can do anything. Xu Ling saw that she had actually gotten away with it and let out a long sigh of relief.

But!

She still had to get Qin Cong’an her favorite food! My god—

Seeing the way they had interrogated her one after another just now, Xu Ling didn’t dare to make any rash moves again and really couldn’t find a chance. And everyone had more or less touched the food on the table. How could she take it? Xu Ling reordered Qin Cong’an’s favorite seafood paella, planning to use the same trick when the takeout arrived.

Everyone was gradually getting full. Someone lay down on the sofa but continued to drink, chatting idly with the movie as a background.

Someone went to the restroom and didn’t come out for a long time. Han Qiao, who had drunk a lot, was getting a little antsy. She asked Xu Ling, “Do you have a bathroom in your bedroom?”

“Uh…” There was, but Qin Cong’an was in there.

At this moment, Xu Ling had to make a decision. Should she expose the fact that Qin Cong’an had been in her house all along and tell her friends that she and Qin Cong’an were in a relationship, or… let her friend die from holding it in.

While Xu Ling was hesitating, the person in the restroom came out. Han Qiao quickly ran in, cursing.

Phew—so good.

At this moment, those who were watching the movie were watching the movie, those who were sprawled on the sofa were chatting, and those who were in the restroom were in the restroom. Xu Ling was leaning in a corner of the sofa, constantly refreshing the takeout app. Still over a hundred meters away. Hurry up, hurry up. Don’t let her miss this good opportunity.

Li Yan, at the side, had always felt that she was very abnormal. She asked her, “Do you have something to do?”

“Hmm? No, no,” Xu Ling quickly shook her head. “I’m on a break today. What could I have to do?”

Meng Bai was sitting on the floor, watching the movie she had already seen with great interest. “I say, Lingzi, when are you going to be in another movie like this? The last time I saw you, you were making a guest appearance as an internet celebrity in some boring idol drama. So tacky.”

“Do you think I don’t want to?” Xu Ling put her phone on her stomach. “Why don’t the top luxury shows ask you to open? Is it because you won’t do it?”

Meng Bai shot her a look and then said, “By the way, didn’t you say you were going to quit after your five-year contract was up? To continue studying design?”

“Yeah.” Xu Ling picked up her phone to look again. Why was it still over a hundred meters?

“Hehe,” Meng Bai smiled. “Where are you going to study? Do you want to see where Yanzi is based then? You can be roommates with her again. Then you can eat those little things again.”

Xu Ling looked at Li Yan a little awkwardly. “Are you treating Yanzi as a tool?”

“Of course, I mean for you two to develop something,” Meng Bai said, looking at them with a look of disappointment. “You WLW battle lines are so long. Look at Qingqing and Chuchu. It took them ten years to get together! Ten years!”

Qingqing and Chuchu, who were hugging on the sofa and looking at their phones, heard Meng Bai mention them and looked up. They happened to see a strange figure coming out from the corner and were both startled, letting out a gasp of shock.

“Hi,” Qin Cong’an said, greeting the few people who were looking at her, and then also said “hi” to the few who had only looked over after hearing her voice. “So many people came. Little Ling didn’t say. I thought it was just two or three. Hello.”

“…”

The TV happened to be at a gunfight, and the sound of “bang, bang, bang” went on and on. Apart from that, there was a dead silence.

Han Qiao had been holding it in for too long. After finally finishing, she came out and saw Qin Cong’an in the dim light. She thought her eyes hadn’t adjusted to the darkness in the living room and that she was mistaken. After walking closer to confirm again, she cried out, “What the hell?!”

“Hi.” After greeting Han Qiao with a smile, Qin Cong’an walked towards the kitchen in the deafening silence of the crowd. A moment later, the sound of the curtains being pulled back suddenly came from behind her.

Everyone thought, it’s so dark. Maybe it’s a ghost. But the living room was instantly bright. A moment later, they saw Qin Cong’an come out with two bottles of red wine.

She was wearing gray loungewear, both top and bottom long, a very ordinary and even conservative outfit. But her hair, which was scattered on one side, was half-wet, the ends still dripping with water. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower. Her body also exuded a hint of a lime scent, which was strangely ambiguous.

Qin Cong’an was wearing a pair of watery blue slippers, a completely different treatment from their ill-fitting disposable ones.

Everyone stared, looking from the person on the screen to the person outside the screen, examining them carefully as if they were appraising an antique.

So… Qin Cong’an… and Xu Ling… what was their relationship?

Everyone looked at each other, brainstorming. They understood. They were roommates!

“Does anyone else want to drink?” Qin Cong’an scanned the room, more like she was sizing everyone up as the mistress of the house than asking if they wanted to drink. “It looks like you’re all about done.”

At this moment, Xu Ling’s phone vibrated gently, indicating that the takeout had been delivered. She very mechanically sat up from the sofa and was about to go to the door to get it. As she passed by Qin Cong’an, her arm was grabbed.

Qin Cong’an asked her, “Where are you going?”

“Aahhh—!!” Han Qiao suddenly screamed.

As she screamed, Han Qiao also jumped onto the sofa in terror, shrinking into a few cushions, and held one up to cover her face, only her upper half of her eyes showing as she looked at the two of them.

Li Yan had recovered from the shock and smiled at Han Qiao. “Are you a fake fan? Aren’t you shipping a CP?”

After Li Yan said this, a few people’s rationality finally returned, but they all stared at the two of them with wide eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Xu Ling couldn’t take their gazes. She felt like she was about to be shot through. She didn’t answer Qin Cong’an’s question and pulled her hand away, walking towards the door.

Qin Cong’an followed her. She had thought Xu Ling was going to run away, but it turned out she was just opening the door to get the takeout.

Xu Ling closed the door without even daring to look at Qin Cong’an. Her soul was already gone. She walked in and put the seafood paella on the dining table, but it was picked up by Qin Cong’an and taken to the coffee table.

Qin Cong’an found a bottle opener and opened the wine, then asked again, “So do you want to drink?”

Only then did Han Qiao react and immediately looked at Xu Ling. “Didn’t you say these two bottles were a gift for someone!?”

“…” Xu Ling played dead.

Qin Cong’an went back to the bedroom and brought out the coconut chicken, also placing it on the coffee table. “Little Ling got this for me just now. I don’t like it. You guys can have it.”

Han Qiao let out another resounding question, “Xu Ling, didn’t you say you got lipstick!?”
