After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 46p2

Chapter 46 p2

Qin Cong’an stood up and went to Xu Ling’s dressing table to look around. She swore she hadn’t planned to touch anything, but when she saw a very familiar ring in the jewelry box, she still reached out and picked it up. In the group photo from her trip to Tokyo, she had seen Li Yan wear the same one.

She turned around, leaned against the dressing table, and asked Xu Ling, who was still sitting there, “What’s this?”

Xu Ling turned her head to look. “A ring.”

“This is a matching ring, right?” Qin Cong’an lowered her head and rubbed the ring, even looking at the inside to see if anything was engraved. “Where’s the other one?”

Xu Ling felt so tired, even getting up was an effort. She walked over, looked at the ring carefully. It was the one Li Yan had given her when she had asked for her help.

She took it, put it back in the jewelry box, and said in a muffled voice, “What does it have to do with you?”

As soon as she said that, Xu Ling felt a tightening around her waist and was pushed over. Qin Cong’an then lifted her and sat her on the table.

Xu Ling was startled, but her arms subconsciously went to Qin Cong’an’s shoulders. She swallowed unconsciously. “What are you doing?”

“Xu Ling.” Qin Cong’an looked up at her, the sharpness in her eyes making Xu Ling avert her gaze. She grabbed her chin and made her look at her. “Are you in a relationship?”

“…”

“Speak.”

Xu Ling was silent for a while longer before saying, “No.”

Qin Cong’an’s hand was on her thigh, her five fingers gripping and squeezing. “Then are you in contact with your ex?”

“No.” Xu Ling shifted her legs uncomfortably. The hand stopped squeezing and instead started to caress her gently, as if apologizing for hurting her.

Qin Cong’an let her go and picked up the ring again, twirling it. “Then can you give this to me?”

“No.” Xu Ling was planning to give it back to Li Yan. She took it back again and picked out another simple and beautiful one from the jewelry box that would suit Qin Cong’an. “You can have this one.”

Qin Cong’an didn’t say anything, didn’t move, just stood there quietly for a while before holding out her left hand.

Did that mean she wanted her to put it on for her? Xu Ling’s hand trembled slightly. She leaned in, sized it up, and then slipped it onto her middle finger. It was a perfect fit.

“Left middle finger. What does that mean?” Qin Cong’an asked.

“It doesn’t mean anything. It just looks good,” Xu Ling’s voice grew softer and softer. “Your hands are very beautiful.”

“Mhm, I know you like them.” Qin Cong’an took Xu Ling’s hand and placed it against her own, finally comparing their sizes. “Yours is indeed a little bigger.”

Xu Ling was a little breathless. She looked at the hand that was pressed against hers, with her ring on it, and asked in a low voice, “Is this a sisterly touch?”

“Hmm?” A snort came from Qin Cong’an’s nose. Her fingers suddenly separated and gripped hers, shaking them a couple of times. “Depends on how you interpret it.”

“…Qin Cong’an, I accidentally liked a comment just now.” Xu Ling didn’t pull her hand away, but she didn’t intertwine her fingers with hers either. “That person analyzed that you only got bitten by mosquitoes because you were close to me on set.”

“Oh, accidentally?”

“Yeah, accidentally.” Xu Ling took out her phone with her other hand. “Let’s take a photo together. We can post it with the party photos and respond at the same time. Just say it’s a sisterly touch.”

“Okay.” Qin Cong’an agreed immediately, then glanced at her bed. “But it’s not very appropriate to take it in the bedroom, is it?”

Xu Ling said, “Mhm,” and was pulled by Qin Cong’an out of the bedroom and to the living room sofa. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought this was Qin Cong’an’s house. She seemed to be very familiar with the layout.

“How should we take it?” Qin Cong’an asked.

“Just… shoulders touching is fine.” After saying that, Xu Ling saw Qin Cong’an push her hair to the other side. She leaned over, her shoulders stiff and unconsciously raised. She raised her hand, found an angle, and was about to take the picture.

Qin Cong’an obediently moved her head closer, almost resting it on Xu Ling’s shoulder. After seeing Xu Ling press the button, she even raised their clasped hands.

Looking at the still frame, although you could only see their shoulders touching, in the live photo, you could see their clasped hands.

“…” Xu Ling looked at Qin Cong’an in silence.

Qin Cong’an shrugged. “A good sister’s prank.”

“Let’s take another one.”

“Okay.”

Just as Xu Ling was about to take another one, she heard the doorbell ring. She quickly let go of Qin Cong’an’s hand and ran to open the door.

At the door were Lin Xinnuo, and Yi Huai and Gu Qi. Lin Xinnuo hadn’t wanted to come up so early, but since they had all arrived, she had to come up with them, hoping she hadn’t interrupted anything.

Gu Qi was very excited to see Xu Ling and grabbed her arm, jumping up and down in the entryway.

The contrast was too obvious. This was a real good sister. What was that just now? Xu Ling’s heart rate still hadn’t come down. She quickly took out the slippers. “Everyone, pick a color and remember it. Don’t wear the wrong one.”

“Okay!” Gu Qi walked in and saw Qin Cong’an. Although Little Lin had given her a heads-up, seeing Qin Cong’an with her powerful aura, as if she were the mistress of the house, her steps still faltered for a moment before she walked over and said, “Sister An.”

“Long time no see,” Qin Cong’an said with a polite smile.

“Qi, come get a drink,” Xu Ling called her to the kitchen.

Qin Cong’an heard their excited voices. “Isn’t this the yogurt that Jiang Jiang endorses! I also bought two cases!” “Yeah, yeah, yeah! But it’s not very good…” “Hahahaha!”

After coming out of the kitchen, they went to tour the rooms. The two of them were very talkative when they were together, chattering non-stop.

Yi Huai sat down on the sofa and asked, “Isn’t Sister Quan coming?”

“She’s busy with something. She’s not coming.”

“Okay. By the way, there’s been a lot of discussion about your CP online recently. It must have been hard.”

“It wasn’t hard. It’s just to cooperate with the promotion,” Qin Cong’an said in a flat tone. “It’s been hard on you, Sister Huai. And it’s been hard on Xu Ling for cooperating.”

“No, no.” Yi Huai had a headache and said apologetically, “Xu Ling liked a CP fan’s comment just now. She said it was a slip of the hand. I believe her. Please don’t mind.”

“It’s fine. She told me. We even took a photo together just now to respond.”

“Good, good. I promise this won’t happen again. I’ll have a good talk with her later and tell her to always remember to switch to her side account.”

Qin Cong’an smiled. “It’s really fine.”

Yi Huai could see that Qin Cong’an wasn’t angry, which made her very curious. In her experience, this kind of thing, where the other party in a drama CP liked a comment like that without any prior notice, would definitely make her angry. “Little Qin, you seem to be quite proactive with the fan service this time.”

“Am I?”

“Yeah, you’ve never been so proactive before.”

Qin Cong’an nodded. “It’s true. My relationship with Xu Ling is a little better than with my previous partners, so the fan service is more natural.”

Natural? Yi Huai really couldn’t say. She had only said proactive, not natural. On the contrary, she felt it was very unnatural.

Lin Xinnuo had also joined the group touring the house. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but bursts of laughter could be heard from the living room.

Qin Cong’an glanced in the direction of the bedroom where the sound was coming from, took a sip of jasmine tea, and suppressed the churning displeasure in her heart. Xu Ling didn’t laugh like that with her. Did she just not want to see Xu Ling have fun with her friends? Don’t be so petty.

After a while, Chang Ning, Liang He, and Wen Qianning also arrived.

“Isn’t Director Chang filming?” Qin Cong’an asked curiously.

“You can take a break from filming too. I left it to the B-team director. It’s fine,” Chang Ning said. She had mainly come to see for herself if the CP she had shipped had come to fruition. She couldn’t miss this dinner.

Everyone brought gifts. Wen Qianning brought bread and cakes, knowing that Xu Ling liked them, and also as a return gift for Sister An. “I went to buy them this morning. The owner is very lazy and doesn’t make much. If you go late, they’re sold out.”

“Wow! Thank you!” Xu Ling was so happy to see them she couldn’t move, but she put them in the fridge first, to eat after dinner.

Wen Qianning saw the two bottles of red wine in the kitchen, her eyes lighting up. “Are we drinking this tonight?”

“Oh, no, no, no. I’ve prepared something else.” Xu Ling immediately put the wine Qin Cong’an had given her in a hidden place and took out some other wine.

Wen Qianning was also very satisfied. For a wine lover like her, as long as there was wine, she wasn’t picky. It was also today that Xu Ling learned that she went downstairs at night to secretly drink, avoiding her manager.

The food was ordered by Yi Huai. There was both Chinese and Western, as well as Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian. No matter how picky you were, you could still have a few bites.

Before eating, of course, no one forgot why they were gathered today. They took many photos and also a few short videos.

Xu Ling and Qin Cong’an sat together, a little closer than a safe distance. But Xu Ling and Gu Qi on the other side were also very close. At first glance, it just looked like a loving family from the crew.

Gradually, it really became a dinner party. Especially after they started drinking, everyone let down their guard a little and started to chat animatedly.

Liang He slapped the table and said, “You know, I’ve seen a few videos edited by CP fans, the kind that pick out details for candy, analyzing every frame, every look, every movement, even interpreting a swallow. After watching them, I even believed that there was something real between you two! It’s hilarious!”

“Ha, ha, ha,” Xu Ling laughed intermittently. “It’s really funny!”

Gu Qi, at the side, suddenly asked with a serious expression, “So there’s really nothing?”

Xu Ling turned her head to look at her, stuttering, “…How could there be?”

“Hahaha! I knew it!” The expression that had made Xu Ling’s skin crawl was instantly gone from Gu Qi’s face. She laughed out loud and said, “If there was something, we would definitely know before the CP fans!”

Chang Ning said, “But you two do look good together. The reason I cast you to play a pair of characters with a rather special relationship was because I saw that you had a very compatible temperament. It’s normal for people to ship you in real life now.”

Liang He burst out laughing. “Ning’er, you’re not a CP fan too, are you?”

“I can be,” Chang Ning said, looking at the two of them. “On the condition that they’re real. If not, I definitely won’t ship them.”

Secretly shipping.

Xu Ling lowered her head and gnawed on a large bone, her image forgotten, gnawing seriously. Director Chang was indeed worthy of being called a genius director, with an eye that could see through everything. They had only been in the same frame once before, and she had actually seen the special quality that her ill intentions gave off.

Qin Cong’an nodded thoughtfully. So that’s what Director Chang was thinking. At first, she had been wondering why she had cast someone like Xu Ling, who wasn’t really an actress… Indeed, Qin Cong’an couldn’t imagine any other actress playing Jian Yu with her now. No matter how good she thought their acting was, it was still lacking something. Xu Ling couldn’t act at first, but she was a good fit for Jian Yu, and she had chemistry with her.

Liang He asked Chang Ning, “I remember in the first romance movie you directed, the two leads got together, right? How are they now?”

At that time, Chang Ning hadn’t fully entered the industry. It was more of a hobby. The actors she had cast were just friends she knew. The two of them had only acted in that one movie and had no intention of becoming actors, but they had really gotten together.

Chang Ning said, “They’re still doing well now.”

“Oh, did you hear that? It’s been over ten years,” Liang He said, teasingly looking at the two of them.

“But I’ve directed several romance movies, and only this one pair got together,” Chang Ning said, personally dismantling the CP. She wanted to see their reaction, but one was still burying her head and gnawing on a bone, and the other’s thoughts were unreadable. But no reaction sometimes said a lot.

This topic didn’t get very hot and was just skipped over.

They ate and chatted about some work matters. After they were full, they started to take photos and videos again. This time, it wasn’t just for promotion, but also to really record this reunion after a year.

Except for Yi Huai, who had to drive, and Lin Xinnuo, who was considered to be working and didn’t drink, everyone else had had a little to drink, especially Wen Qianning, who had drunk the most.

Everyone now knew why her manager didn’t let her drink. This kid started to kiss people as soon as she got drunk. Who could stand that?

And she was even stronger when she was drunk. Once she had her eye on you, it was over.

Seeing that Gu Qi had already been kissed until her eyes were glazed over, and that it was about to be her turn, Xu Ling was so scared she was about to dodge to the side. She didn’t know if she had tripped first or if her waist had been grabbed first, but when she came back to her senses, she was sitting on Qin Cong’an’s lap, her face buried in her neck.

Wen Qianning was drunkenly leaning over. When she saw Qin Cong’an, her eyes immediately cleared.

Indeed, even when you’re drunk, you can still tell who not to mess with.
