After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 60

Chapter 60

In Jiang City, Xu Ling was recording a web show, a program that combined interviews and interactions, famous for its host’s daring to dig into artists’ private lives and the large scale of the conversations.

The artists only knew the general flow of the program and didn’t know what questions would be asked in advance. But after watching past episodes, they had a general idea of the host’s questioning style.

In the car, Yi Huai said to Xu Ling, “Don’t worry too much. At most, it’s just some relationship questions. Answer as generously as you can for the ones you can answer. If it’s hard to answer, just talk around it. The reason I dared to get you this variety show is that I believe in your emotional intelligence.”

She also instructed her on what she absolutely could not answer, some more taboo and sensitive topics. But Xu Ling had been on variety shows for over a year and had never been judged for saying the wrong thing. Yi Huai was still relatively at ease.

Xu Ling didn’t know if she could be considered to have emotional intelligence. She thought she was pretty good at livening up the atmosphere and giving compliments, but when it came to a deep conversation, she actually didn’t have much confidence.

Before the official recording, Xu Ling was getting her makeup and styling done in the dressing room and was messaging Qin Cong’an. Qin Cong’an didn’t have much to do, wasn’t on set, and had a lot of time. She said she was making bread.

When Xu Ling saw the tray of plump buns that the other side had sent, her mouth started to water. She sent a message: [I want to eat!]

Then, while the stylist was getting something and couldn’t see her screen, she sent another one: [But it’s not just the bread I want to eat /licking]

She deleted it immediately after sending it.

The stylist took the clip and, as soon as she turned around, saw on Xu Ling’s screen that the person with the orange note had sent a cat-rolling-its-eyes emoji. Although cat emojis were all cute, this one had a rather fierce white-eyed look.

From her perspective, it was like Xu Ling had sent a message to this unknown person saying she wanted to eat the bread this person had made, and then had been given the white-eyed look.

However, Xu Ling was happy and even chuckled a couple of times.

She really didn’t understand.

Besides Xu Ling, there were two other new female actresses on the show this time. Both had debuted a year or two ago, had works that were a little bit of a hit, and had been a hot topic recently.

At the beginning, the three of them, along with their familiar characters, introduced themselves. After a few lukewarm questions, the host went straight to the relationship questions. “The three characters are actually all experiencing their first relationship, right? So when was everyone’s first love?”

First love.

This word entered Xu Ling’s mind like a small bomb that blew open her brain circuits.

Before, because of the big misunderstanding of taking Xie Jing as Qin Cong’an’s boyfriend, she had always thought of Qin Cong’an as a straight girl. But now that she thought about it, how could a straight girl accept kissing her and sleeping with her so smoothly? That night, it was almost Qin Cong’an who had led the way.

She had also thought that Qin Cong’an might be bisexual. After all, she had been in the industry for many years, and it felt like anything was possible.

But Qin Cong’an had said she had no exes, and she hadn’t added her with her side account because of a short-term relationship on set, but because she was worried that she had ill intentions and would use her.

Wait, Xu Ling just realized, could she be Qin Cong’an’s first love?

Were they each other’s first love?! Xu Ling wouldn’t even dare to dream of it. How could there be such a good thing? Unable to hold it in, Xu Ling laughed out loud.

Seeing Xu Ling laugh, the host pointed to her first to answer. “Was first love that beautiful? Share it with us.”

Xu Ling didn’t dare to laugh anymore, and even had a serious expression, as if she were attending some official discussion. She nodded. “The words ‘first love’ are quite beautiful, aren’t they?”

“It could also be sour. It’s rare to see someone laugh as soon as first love is mentioned. What did you think of?”

“Mmm…” Xu Ling thought for a moment and picked something she could say. “I just thought of her buying me my favorite things to eat, making my favorite things to eat, and I was very happy.”

The host had a look of having shipped it. “It sounds very innocent.”

Xu Ling laughed dryly. “Haha, of course it’s innocent.”

After everyone had answered the question about first love, the host asked again, “I’m personally curious about a question. In a relationship, do you think the physical relationship is the most important, or is the spiritual interaction more important?”

“Of course, both are important,” Xu Ling answered first, before the host had even cued her.

The host then seized on Xu Ling and asked, “Oh! So a person’s sexual charm would be a point for you in choosing a lover?”

“It’s not that I deliberately look to see if she has sexual charm. It’s just that there’s a person, and when I see her, I just want to get close, to touch her,” Xu Ling answered very seriously. It was a good thing Qin Cong’an wasn’t here. If she were, she wouldn’t be able to say these things. With Qin Cong’an not here, she could answer these questions generously.

The host said, “Wow. I also think that physical compatibility is very important. We shouldn’t just talk about spiritual communication. What about the other two?”

Although it was said to be a large scale, Xu Ling felt it was okay. After all, for the show to be broadcast, even if it was just online, they didn’t talk about anything too excessive.

However, when Sun Anni, who was also on the show, talked about certain topics, she was a little shy. Xu Ling helped her block several questions.

After the recording, Xu Ling picked up her phone to send a message to Qin Cong’an: [I’m off work! What are you doing?]

Orange: [Reading, getting ready to sleep /sleepy]

Xu Ling wrinkled her nose. She had been thinking of having a video call in the hotel tonight. But anyway, she was going back to North City tomorrow. She replied: [So early. Okay, then you should sleep, An An.]

Just as she sent the message, the door was pushed open. It was Yi Huai, with Sun Anni by her side.

Sun Anni had a face that was very suitable for playing the female lead in a school drama, looking pure and a little stubborn. At this moment, her eyes were shining as she looked at Xu Ling. “Sister, I’m here to thank you. Thank you for helping me out just now.”

Yi Huai had a look of relief. Xu Ling hadn’t caused any trouble and had even saved the day. This show would definitely gain her more fans when it aired.

“It’s nothing. You’re welcome,” Xu Ling replied while packing her things. But after she had packed, she saw that Sun Anni hadn’t left. “What’s wrong?”

Sun Anni looked at her. “Sister, do you have anything to do next? I’d like to treat you to a late-night snack. If you’re worried about getting fat, I know a light food shop!”

“What a coincidence. I just happen to have a date for a late-night snack. Do you want to come along?” How could she not contact Gu Qi when she came to Jiang City? Xu Ling had already arranged with Gu Qi to have a late-night snack after the show tonight.

A hint of disappointment appeared in Sun Anni’s eyes, but she immediately nodded. “Okay, okay! I want to go. Who are we going with?”

Xu Ling glanced at Yi Huai. “Sister Huai, and Gu Qi.”

“Ah, it’s Sister Ku Ai. That’s great,” Sun Anni said, looking a little excited. “I saw She and Her and the Knife. I really like you, and I also really like Sister Ku Ai.”

“Wow, thank you.” It turned out she was a fan of the movie. Xu Ling was very happy. She also had a good impression of Sun Anni from the show just now. “Then I’ll let Gu Qi know… she’s already downstairs.”

Sun Anni told her own manager and then went downstairs with Xu Ling and Yi Huai.

It was already dark, and the lights outside were not bright. Walking out of the brightly lit building, it was a little hard to see who was standing outside.

But Xu Ling locked onto a figure at a glance. This person was leaning against a car, her arms crossed, dressed all in black, and even wearing a black hat, yet she exuded an extraordinary temperament. But wasn’t Qin Cong’an in North City? She had been baking bread this afternoon and had just said she was reading and about to sleep.

She must have been mistaken.

Xu Ling looked at the running Gu Qi. Gu Qi was still excitedly shouting, “Ling!” as she ran over, then whispered to her, “Sister An is here too.”

Xu Ling’s heart thumped. The last time, she had thought she would come back early from abroad, but she hadn’t. This time, she had clearly recognized her, but she hadn’t believed she had really come.

Qin Cong’an slowly walked over. Her black clothes were gradually illuminated by the lights from the building, and her expression became clear. Her face was calm but carried a powerful aura. Her gaze swept over the few of them, and finally landed on Xu Ling’s face.

Yi Huai was a little dazed. For some reason, she felt that Qin Cong’an was here for Xu Ling, but could it be? So ridiculous? She asked, “What are you doing here?”

Qin Cong’an looked at Xu Ling and answered, “Just passing by.”

Everyone was full of question marks. Xu Ling came back to her senses and asked her, “Then do you want to go for a late-night snack with us?”

“Okay.” Qin Cong’an looked at them, and finally said to Xu Ling with no conviction, “It looks crowded. You can take my car.”

The four of them could have just fit in one car, but it was also not good to have Qin Cong’an drive alone and follow them.

Xu Ling very smoothly accepted this arrangement and was about to go with Qin Cong’an. She turned her head and said to Sun Anni, “Then you can take Sister Ku Ai’s car.”

“Okay!” Sun Anni replied obediently but kept looking at the two of them with curiosity.

Xu Ling very naturally pressed herself against Qin Cong’an, just as she had said on the show just now. As soon as she saw this person, she couldn’t help but want to touch her. But then she thought that someone might be watching and put some distance between them.

But Qin Cong’an took Xu Ling’s arm and brought them a little closer again.

“You’re not just passing by. You’re here to surprise me, right?” Xu Ling asked knowingly, unable to stop smiling as she looked at her.

“I’m here to take you home.”

Qin Cong’an hadn’t planned to come to Jiang City with her. But being alone at home, she always felt that something was wrong. It was so quiet and boring.

Xu Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more deeply. She got into the passenger seat, her smile almost reaching her ears.

Qin Cong’an held the steering wheel and glanced at her. “To the airport?”

“Don’t. Are you really going for the elopement thing?” Xu Ling said quickly. “I don’t have many chances to come to Jiang City. I still want to try the restaurant Gu Qi recommended. And there’s Sister Anni, who I just met. She’s a fan of She and Her and the Knife. She’ll be so sad if we leave.”

“Sister Anni,” Qin Cong’an’s voice lowered as she repeated it. It was amazing how she could say it so naturally, having just met her.

“Is there a problem with Sister Anni?” Xu Ling had held back from calling her “Qi” just now.

“No problem.”

“There is a problem.” Xu Ling leaned over. “What’s wrong? Are you jealous?”

“Sit properly. Fasten your seatbelt.” Qin Cong’an pushed her face away and saw that Gu Qi’s car had already started. “If we don’t go, we won’t be able to keep up, unless you really want to go to the airport.”

Xu Ling leaned back against the seat and smiled. It was jealousy. Her dissatisfaction with her calling her Qi and Qianqian before was also because of jealousy. But why would she be jealous of a younger sister?

Qin Cong’an glanced at her. She hadn’t fastened her seatbelt. She had no choice but to lean over and fasten it for her.

Xu Ling had done it on purpose. As soon as she came over, she took the opportunity to wrap her arms around her waist. “I suddenly remembered something today.”

“What?”

“I like you.”

In the confined space of the car, Xu Ling was a little embarrassed but expressed her feelings very directly.

Qin Cong’an’s pupils dilated slightly. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and tucked Xu Ling’s hair behind her ear, the back of her hand caressing her face. “I like you too.”

“…We haven’t officially said it yet.”

“We haven’t.” Qin Cong’an felt Xu Ling’s face grow hotter under her hand. “But I really like you.”

Xu Ling didn’t dare to breathe. She still wanted to ask if she was her first love, to say that she was her first love, but the atmosphere was suddenly not suitable for talking.

Qin Cong’an turned off the light in the car. The car was instantly dark. Not yet used to the darkness, it was hard to see anything for a moment. But they were so familiar with each other. They explored each other’s breath and kissed.

In the dim light, the sound of wetness was even more obvious, and the sense of touch was particularly sensitive.

Xu Ling felt that her answer was not wrong. She just liked her body. A simple kiss could ignite her deepest feelings.

But kissing was surprisingly tiring. And Xu Ling hadn’t had dinner, was waiting for a late-night snack. Her stomach started to growl.

Qin Cong’an nuzzled her nose, her voice a little hoarse. “It seems the extra you wanted to eat won’t fill your stomach.”

She turned on the light and took the bread she had baked this afternoon from the back seat. “Have some of this first.”

Xu Ling licked her lips, her heart pounding. She lowered her head and opened the bag, her face almost buried in it.

“I don’t know where we’re going. Hurry up and send a message to your Sister Anni to ask,” Qin Cong’an said, starting the car.

Xu Ling’s shyness was instantly reduced by more than half. Why was she still talking about this?
