Chapter 12: Guilt. No more kissing scenes with other people.
Actually, Xu Xun hadn’t seen it at first.
But Cheng Yang’s guilty expression betrayed everything.
Xu Xun propped herself up with her arms. Before she could even ask, Cheng Yang instantly turned the laptop in her hands towards herself.
“…”
What was it that she couldn’t see?
Xu Xun grew more and more curious.
Before Cheng Yang could close the laptop, Xu Xun heard the sound coming from the video.
She leaned over curiously to take a look, and was completely stunned.
“Cheng Yang’s Explosive Kissing Scene Compilation”
Cheng Yang slammed the laptop shut, but it was too late.
Xu Xun had seen it clearly.
“…”
Cheng Yang was filled with guilt, hugging the laptop, not knowing what to do.
She carefully lifted her eyelids, intending to sneak a peek at Xu Xun’s expression, only to meet the Omega’s eyes.
It’s over.
There was no anger or jealousy on Xu Xun’s face.
Instead, it was Cheng Yang who was so nervous she was biting her lower lip.
She didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, afraid that Xu Xun would grab her and give her a good beating.
The expected questioning didn’t come. Instead, Xu Xun was unusually calm, so quiet that it made Cheng Yang even more flustered.
For an experienced actress, a single glance was enough to tell that Cheng Yang and her co-star were actually using camera angles for the kissing scenes.
Cheng Yang moved her lips, thinking about how to explain to Xu Xun.
At that moment, Xu Xun spoke.
“You and I have never filmed a kissing scene.”
Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. “Mmm, it seems we’ve never played a couple.”
Cheng Yang had looked up Xu Xun’s profile. She had indeed only filmed one movie with her, and in it, they were sisters.
Xu Xun’s character was the older sister, and Cheng Yang was the younger sister, in a divorced and remarried family.
The older sister went out on a rainy night to look for her rebellious runaway sister, only to die in a car accident on the street.
After the movie was released, besides being moved by the sisters’ relationship, a lot of “incestuous” CP fans also emerged, crazily shipping the two sisters’ relationship.
Some even said that the way Xu Xun looked at Cheng Yang, both in and out of the movie, was full of adoration, and that feelings might have developed from the acting.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Xu Xun looked up at Cheng Yang and said with a smile, “Why are you so nervous? It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”
Cheng Yang bit her lower lip, her voice as small as a mosquito’s buzz.
Xu Xun didn’t hear clearly, but she didn’t press the matter further. “It’s been ten years since you debuted at fifteen. You’ve filmed no more than ten movies, and more than half of them have kissing scenes.”
“…”
Cheng Yang’s face grew hot, and she said in a small voice, “Wifey, you… how do you remember so clearly? I didn’t even know…”
The corners of Xu Xun’s lips curled up, but in Cheng Yang’s eyes, it was a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Cheng Yang didn’t dare to make a sound, her hands gripping the quilt tightly, inching her body bit by bit, preparing to lie down and play dead.
Xu Xun added with a smile, “I’ve always been your loyal fan. I’ve seen all your movies.”
Cheng Yang’s ears turned red, and she let out a small “oh.”
Just as she was about to turn off the light, Xu Xun snuggled up to her. “After we got together, you promised me that you would never take on another kissing scene.”
Cheng Yang couldn’t remember. She nodded. “Don’t worry, wifey. From now on, I’ll only kiss you.”
“Oh? Then who did you kiss before you were with me?”
“…”
It’s over. Just climbed out of one hole, only to step right into another fiery pit.
Seeing Cheng Yang blushing and silent, Xu Xun chuckled twice.
Cheng Yang could tell the Omega was giving a cold laugh.
She became even more scared.
Xu Xun continued, “I don’t care who you dated or kissed before. From now on, you can only kiss me. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay.”
Cheng Yang covered half her face with the quilt, thinking to herself, “The domineering Teacher Xu is really something else. How come I never noticed she had this side to her before? It’s so captivating.”
Cheng Yang’s gaze gradually turned amorous. She rolled over and slowly pressed the Omega down beneath her.
“Wifey, are you jealous?”
Xu Xun retorted, “You’re only just realizing that now?”
“I realized it a long time ago. And… didn’t you notice that all those kissing scenes I filmed were just camera tricks?”
Xu Xun let out a muffled “mmm,” but under the covers, her fingers slowly crept under the hem of Cheng Yang’s pajamas and pinched her waist in the darkness.
Cheng Yang’s waist was sensitive. She let out a soft moan and went limp on top of Xu Xun.
“I did notice.”
Cheng Yang smiled. “Then why are you still jealous? To me, it’s just work.”
Xu Xun turned her head, avoiding Cheng Yang’s kiss. “It’s work for you, but it might not be for your co-star.”
Cheng Yang was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Xu Xun explained earnestly, “You have amnesia, you don’t remember anything from the past. Let me tell you, in every movie you’ve filmed, someone has tried to ship you as a couple. Some people even secretly promoted how good your relationship was, deliberately creating buzz to attract attention, which led to a ton of rumors.”
Cheng Yang looked astonished. “Who?”
Xu Xun skillfully opened the laptop, clicked on the kissing scene video that Cheng Yang had just swiped away, and pointed to the Omega female lead from the first campus drama. “Her name is Ye Bingying. The rumors about her were the most numerous and explosive.”
Cheng Yang’s eyes swept over the screen and found that the search bar had even suggested the phrase “Cheng Yang and Ye Bingying’s relationship exposed.”
“…”
Now she couldn’t clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Xu Xun’s face didn’t look good, as if she was so angry she had turned pale. She wouldn’t even let her kiss her.
Cheng Yang sat to the side, small, helpless, and pitiful.
She couldn’t remember anything now, let alone who this Ye Bingying was.
Seeing her pitiful state, Xu Xun didn’t make things difficult for her and took the initiative to swipe the video away.
“Let’s not talk about the past. Just stay away from her in the future.”
Cheng Yang nodded obediently. “As you command.”
Although Xu Xun didn’t say anything more, Cheng Yang’s heart was still pounding.
She had a feeling that she had been very close to this Ye Bingying in the past, otherwise Xu Xun wouldn’t have said such a thing.
Cheng Yang wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was afraid of upsetting Xu Xun, so she decided against it.
The silence between them was so complete that only their breathing could be heard.
Cheng Yang’s heart pounded like a drum.
The lights were all off, but her eyes were wide open, unable to sleep at all.
The same was true for Xu Xun.
Cheng Yang’s hand secretly reached for her phone, wanting to search for who this Ye Bingying was and what her relationship with her was.
The room was pitch black now, and Cheng Yang didn’t even dare to move.
She thought Xu Xun must be asleep already, so she closed her eyes, planning to check tomorrow.
But even with her eyes closed, she couldn’t sleep. Cheng Yang’s mind was in turmoil.
Xu Xun had told her to stay away from Ye Bingying, which meant that the two of them had been quite close in the past.
Were they good friends?
But since she lost her memory, no one named Ye Bingying had ever come to see her.
It seems they were probably just work friends.
After a while, Cheng Yang heard Xu Xun sigh.
“Do you know why I want you to stay away from her?”
“Why?”
“You had just come of age when you filmed that campus drama with her. At the wrap party, she got you drunk, and after returning to the hotel, she tried to release her pheromones to seduce you.”
Cheng Yang’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened, and her voice trembled. “Th-then what happened?”
“What happened then,”
In the darkness, Xu Xun let out a soft chuckle.
“I just happened to be passing by, so I helped you call the police.”
Cheng Yang let out a huge sigh of relief, but she didn’t notice the phrase “just happened to be passing by” in Xu Xun’s words.
A timely and extremely coincidental encounter.
A long time later, when she discovered the secrets Xu Xun had been hiding, she would realize that there had been clues to everything all along.
Ohhh, she’ll discover the little secrets? Hmm, and here I thought it won’t be mentioned, lol.
