After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 90

Chapter 90: What-If Storyline 8

Of course, Xu Ling missed her. She missed her every day she was away.

But considering An’s identity and their relationship, which was both complicated and simple, she couldn’t say it so easily.

They hadn’t seen each other for half a month, and An felt strange and distant. Half a month, that was more than twice the time they had spent together.

Xu Ling didn’t answer this question and sat down. “Are you done with your work now? How long can you stay?”

“It’s not certain. Maybe a few days, maybe a few months.”

“Does it depend on whether you’re going to join a new production?”

Qin Cong’an nodded and picked up a bottle of red wine to open. “Want some? You seem a little nervous.”

How could she not be nervous? Xu Ling was facing a female celebrity who could get a global endorsement from a top luxury brand. She was still in a daze. “I… I’ll just have water.”

She was afraid that if she drank, she would lose control of her rationality and want to kiss her again.

“Okay, I’ll get you some water.” Qin Cong’an knew that Xu Ling’s mood must be very complicated right now, and she wasn’t much better. After finally finishing her work and coming to find her, she had ended up having dinner with her two friends, one of whom clearly liked Xu Ling and was hostile towards her.

It was by no means a beautiful reunion.

But good thing Xu Ling had still come with her. They had a chance to talk alone.

Qin Cong’an could feel Xu Ling’s avoidance and resistance and wanted to explain to her clearly that she hadn’t deliberately hidden her identity, and she certainly wasn’t trying to trick her physically or emotionally.

Although she wasn’t good at explaining, since she had taken the initiative in the beginning, she had to take responsibility.

More importantly, she didn’t want it to end like this, even if her original purpose was just to follow her heart’s intuition, with eight parts impulse, and she hadn’t considered their future relationship.

When Xu Ling was drinking water, her gaze came over. Qin Cong’an looked at her, and she immediately looked away again.

So Qin Cong’an also retracted her gaze and waited for her to be ready to speak first again.

“You…” After drinking more than half a bottle of water, Xu Ling was a little calmer, but not much. “Why? Why did you… I mean, find me?”

“My answer is the same as before. Because I’m curious about you, because you attract me.”

At that time, it had sounded credible. But after Xu Ling knew she was a big star, she felt the credibility was discounted. “But you’ve seen many people in the entertainment industry. There are many who are more beautiful and cuter than me, right?”

“I don’t deny that there are,” Qin Cong’an said honestly. “But none of them made me curious.”

“Oh…” After staring at her for a while, Xu Ling laughed and said, “Am I that good?”

Qin Cong’an was stunned for a moment, then also started to laugh, suddenly relaxing a lot. “Of course.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“No.”

Xu Ling knew she was outstanding and likable. Many people had shown their goodwill towards her since she was a child, and her family had even praised her to the heavens.

But after half-stepping into the fashion circle, she had also received a lot of criticism and frustration. Her agent was extremely dissatisfied with her figure. If it weren’t for friends like Meng Bai and Li Yan stopping her, she might have been persuaded to get liposuction.

For a period of time after she had first entered the industry, Xu Ling’s mentality had been unstable. It had only recently stabilized again.

She also remembered what her family had always told her. They didn’t ask her to achieve anything remarkable, just hoped that she would be happy. Her life was for experiencing.

—But she really hadn’t expected to experience a passionate affair with a female celebrity.

“When I first met you at the coffee shop, I was curious about you. When I met you again at the bar, I started to want to get close to you, so I just did it. It was my problem for not thinking too much, because this was the first time. I know it was an impulse, but I absolutely had no intention of tricking you.”

Xu Ling had originally calmed down, but hearing this “first time,” she was still shocked. “The first time?”

“Yes,” Qin Cong’an said. “Didn’t I just say? I’m not curious about other people.”

Xu Ling felt as if she had been hit by a meteorite. Although it had knocked her dizzy and even felt like she was about to die, for such a low-probability event to fall on her, it was a great and lucky thing no matter how you looked at it.

“So, so… what are you thinking now?” Xu Ling asked.

“I think we need to discuss this together. It’s not up to me alone.”

“Just say what you want.”

Qin Cong’an still couldn’t fully see Xu Ling’s thoughts. She pursed her lips and said a little nervously, “Of course, I want to try to be with you long-term.”

“Ah—!!” Xu Ling immediately jumped up, jumped onto the sofa, and shrank into a corner, looking at her from afar. “You’re not joking, are you?”

“I’m not,” Qin Cong’an said seriously. “What about you? I can’t tell what you’re thinking.”

“I want to! I’m willing!” Xu Ling said anxiously. As long as she wasn’t lying to her, it was fine. Actually, it didn’t matter even if she was lying to her, as long as she could keep lying and not suddenly leave.

After saying that, Xu Ling took a cushion and hugged it tightly, feeling a little awkward. She had heard her friends complain about many relationships, but at least they seemed to be following a “normal” process. But theirs was too strange.

Qin Cong’an let out a long sigh of relief, slowly walked in front of Xu Ling, sat down, and took the cushion from her hand.

Xu Ling instantly felt a loss of security and reached out to grab the cushion back, but Qin Cong’an held out her hand and took her hand.

“So, what is your relationship with Li Yan?” Qin Cong’an asked.

“Uh, just, roommates.”

“Then why do you look so awkward?”

Xu Ling wanted to scratch her face, but both her hands were held by Qin Cong’an, and she couldn’t move. “She confessed to me a while ago…”

“Oh, no wonder.” This answer was not surprising. Qin Cong’an could see it.

“You must have been very awkward at dinner just now…” Xu Ling just wanted to be detached, and she could also feel the subtle atmosphere flowing between Li Yan and Qin Cong’an.

Qin Cong’an shook her head. “It’s understandable. And we hadn’t established a relationship then. If she likes you, of course she would want to fight for you.”

“But she had said before to just pretend I didn’t hear it.”

“Seeing it in person is different.” Qin Cong’an could understand. When you couldn’t see it, you could pretend it didn’t matter. But when you really saw them together, it was inevitable that you would mind. “So you should move out. If she doesn’t see you, she’ll slowly forget.”

“She’s about to graduate. She’s going to move out.”

“How much longer?”

“Less than a month.” So Xu Ling felt it was strange to move out now. There wasn’t much time left, and to deliberately move out, it was as if Yanzi were some kind of monster.

But Qin Cong’an still felt it was best for her to leave decisively. “Then you can stay at my place during this time. You don’t have to move out. Just pretend you’re not going back every night.”

“Okay,” Xu Ling nodded, then remembered something. “But I also promised to have hotpot with her at home.”

“Alone?”

“Mhm.” Now that Xu Ling thought about it, she found it strange. They clearly had so many mutual friends, and others would also come to their house from time to time. Why did she want to have the last meal with her alone?

“Do you want to eat with her alone?”

Xu Ling thought for a moment and said, “I want to invite many friends to come to my house to have a farewell party for her.”

“Then you should do that,” Qin Cong’an said, tucking her somewhat messy hair behind her ear. “So strange. We’ve only known each other for a short time, but I already feel like I want to completely possess you.”

Xu Ling looked at her serious to the point of being a little crazy eyes and was stunned. She also found it very strange. Why was she even more excited when she saw An like this?

“But after all, she’s known you for longer. You see her as a good friend, right?”

Xu Ling nodded vigorously. “Are, are you coming?”

“I won’t go,” Qin Cong’an said with a smile. “I trust you. And with many friends together, it’s fine.”

But Xu Ling looked at Qin Cong’an’s eyes and always felt as if she had a pair of such eyes on her. It was a little different from the past few days. An had a little more of a sense of pressure.

But Xu Ling was surprised to find that she also enjoyed this feeling a little. It was probably because she could feel that An’s entire being was on her, and she just wanted it that way. She wanted all of An.

“Long time no see, Ling,” Qin Cong’an said suddenly.

Xu Ling’s breath hitched. “Mhm, long time no see.”

“So… you still haven’t answered my question. Do you miss me too?” Although Qin Cong’an had gotten the answer “I’m willing,” at this moment, she was still a little apprehensive. She hadn’t replied to her message, which made her panic.

Xu Ling felt a little suffocated and took a deep breath. “I do.”

“Then you have to reply to my messages in the future.”

Xu Ling nodded obediently. “I will.”

“Then kiss me.”

Kiss.

Qin Cong’an hadn’t planned to have much intimate contact today. She just wanted to talk more, to get to know each other more. But seeing Xu Ling lean over with a flushed face, she felt that it was impossible to let her go again.
