After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 91

Chapter 91: What-If Storyline 9

Xu Ling had always felt that she had been hit by a pie that had fallen from the sky. But the pie was so fragrant, who could resist?

During class, Xu Ling searched online for various exposé posts about dating celebrities. My god, without exception, they all had terrible endings.

Some were complaints about being used for sex, some were complaints about the celebrity being so stingy that they even had to go Dutch on the hotel room, and some had even contracted diseases. It made Xu Ling break out in a cold sweat.

Although she felt that Qin Cong’an was different from the people in these exposé posts, who knew if it was just her love-struck brain at work, adding a hundred and eighty layers of filters to Qin Cong’an?

Xu Ling also took the time to catch up on many of Qin Cong’an’s dramas. When she was caught by the teacher, she would just say she was looking for inspiration, which was also reasonable.

She was getting a little hooked. An’s acting was so good. She could play any character. Even as a supporting role, she had her highlights. Whether it was a powerful lawyer or a small shop owner, they were all so vivid under her interpretation.

Then wouldn’t a small trick from An be enough to make her run in circles?

Although Xu Ling was already spinning and couldn’t stop.

She also watched some of Qin Cong’an’s interviews. She didn’t have many shows outside of her dramas, just some interviews. But good thing they were all relatively in-depth conversations, as if she could get to know her more.

But after all, it was also a performance in front of the camera. Maybe it was just a persona. Maybe what she said was just a script written by her agent.

After reading many exposé posts, Xu Ling had grown eight hundred more eyes.

After class, as soon as Xu Ling went downstairs, she saw Qin Cong’an waiting for her at the entrance. She immediately ran over and linked her arm with hers. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Do I need to tell you when I’m picking up my girlfriend?” Qin Cong’an said it so naturally, as if they had been in a relationship for a long time. In reality, it had been less than a week. “I’ll come whenever I’m free.”

Xu Ling felt her eight hundred eyes instantly turn into eight hundred flashing, bouncing little hearts.

A lot had happened in this one week. First, of course, the two of them had confirmed their relationship and had told a few of Xu Ling’s closest friends.

Secondly, Li Yan had very decisively moved out in advance. Let alone having a last hotpot meal with Xu Ling alone, even the farewell party with a few friends couldn’t be held.

Xu Ling felt so awkward. “I’m sorry…”

Li Yan, on the other hand, had already calmed down. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You just don’t like me. It was me who shouldn’t have told you. I should have known a long time ago that we couldn’t be friends after I said it. I regret it, but there’s nothing I can do. I’m sorry. Goodbye.”

But later, Li Yan thought about it and felt that it was good that she had said it. At least she had no regrets. If she hadn’t said it, maybe she still wouldn’t have been able to completely let go even after a few years.

Meng Bai felt a sense of melancholy. It really was hard for friends to become lovers. And what was even harder was being a mutual friend like her.

Who would she be assigned to?

Xu Ling took Qin Cong’an to her treasured restaurants, walked through her favorite streets, and went to various interesting vintage shops.

There was no shortage of Chinese people all over the world, and the whole internet was full of posts about running into them. But every title just said, [Ran into Qin Cong’an and a friend playing in London!]

After a month, people were still running into them.

And the fans had also discovered that Qin Cong’an had returned to the country twice in the middle of it, and had flown back as soon as she had finished her work.

What was so fun about London? It wasn’t enough to play for so many days.

Could it be that the key was not the city, but a certain person in the city?

Xu Ling looked at the various but increasingly close-to-the-truth posts online and felt her heart panic.

The feeling of worrying that a big star would casually play with her feelings was completely gone. Now she was more worried that the big star would drag her out of the closet with her.

Compared to the hiding celebrities in those exposé posts, Qin Cong’an seemed to be openly in a relationship.

It was just that because they were both girls, outsiders would think they were just good friends at first glance and would need time to realize.

“So you don’t want to go public?” Qin Cong’an asked. “Would your family mind? From what you’ve told me about your family, they all seem like very open-minded people.”

“I really don’t know how they would react, but they would probably accept it,” Xu Ling said. She felt that the important thing was not her. “But you’re a public figure. I think we should be a little more low-key.”

“Don’t you always feel that I’m not serious?”

“…Huh?”

“So I’m quite keen on going public. That way, you’ll know I’m serious.”

Xu Ling was about to explode.

She was using such a bewitching face that could make countless people bow down with just a wave of her hand, and saying such reassuring words to her.

It took a long time for Xu Ling to recover. “Am I that obvious? It’s actually okay. I know you’re serious now.”

“If I hadn’t seen your search history, I really wouldn’t have known you were worried.” Once, when Qin Cong’an didn’t have her phone with her, she had used Xu Ling’s to look something up and had seen that she had read a lot of posts about unhappy endings after dating a celebrity.

“…” Xu Ling was embarrassed. “That was just for gossip.”

“Is that so.” Qin Cong’an took her hand. “So, do you want to or not?”

Xu Ling bit her lip. “Let’s wait a bit. We haven’t been together for long. It’s not stable yet.”

“Not stable…” Qin Cong’an repeated her words, her tone full of strong disapproval.

Xu Ling could feel that the intensity of their feelings was soaring particularly fast, really like drinking a glass of strong liquor. But the speed at which alcohol evaporated was very fast. She didn’t know how long this relationship of theirs could last.

“By the way,” Xu Ling said, her hand on Qin Cong’an’s shoulder as she leaned in. “I met a friend before. She and her girlfriend are getting married and have invited me to the wedding. Do you want to go too?”

“Two girls?”

Xu Ling nodded.

“Okay,” Qin Cong’an said, curious. “How did you meet?” She hadn’t said it was a model friend, nor a senior. So it must have been some other way.

As expected, Xu Ling choked for a moment before she said, “Uh, a lesbian bar.”

“Oh, a lesbian bar.” Qin Cong’an smiled. “Is it interesting? I’ve never been.”

“Whether it’s interesting or not depends on the individual, I guess. I think it’s quite interesting to go dancing and drinking. They’re all girls. There’s no strange smell.”

Her tone was full of righteousness, but her eyes were darting around. It was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

When Xu Ling had gone back later, it had indeed been purely for drinking and dancing. But at the beginning, she had really gone with a little bit of a thought of finding a girlfriend. It was just that she had given up after the first time.

She had seen that the sisters’ dancing was so good, while she was like she had been possessed by a spring, only knowing how to jump around randomly. Apart from being tall, she had nothing. She had even almost knocked down their beautiful lights.

The gap was too big. She couldn’t bear to look. Even when the sisters came to chat with her, she felt that they were not from the same world.

But who would have thought that she would really end up with someone who was not from the same world?

This person had even set up a house in London so that they could live here together, with a large bathtub, just as they both liked.

They were always in a messy tangle in this room that belonged to them.

“What kind of dancing?” Qin Cong’an asked, her body pressing against her, not a single inch apart. “Like this, pressing tightly and wriggling?”

My god. Xu Ling couldn’t stand her waist. And with her waist pressed so tightly, her chest was even more present. She could barely breathe.

“Not this kind. Just, just very healthy,” Xu Ling said, her hand on her waist, but it couldn’t be said that she really wanted to push her away.

“Is that so? How come I don’t believe it? Are you lying to me again?”

“…” Xu Ling swallowed frantically. How should she say it? She changed the subject to her. “I saw an interview of yours.”

“Oh?”

“You said that after you have a lover, you want to read books and sunbathe together!” As Xu Ling said these things, the movements of An’s hands finally stopped. “But it feels like you just want to do that all the time.”

Qin Cong’an recalled for a moment. “Did I say that?”

Numb. She had said it was a script written by her agent!

Qin Cong’an remembered. “I think I did say that. But I also added a sentence later, right? That it still depends on what my lover likes. The reason I’m always like this is because you like it, isn’t it?”

“What!” But Xu Ling couldn’t say anything in rebuttal. Okay, she really did like it.

Since it had been exposed, Xu Ling didn’t pretend anymore. Her large hands squeezed in through the two buttons. If she was going to be lewd, she would be lewd to the end.

At this point, Qin Cong’an also touched her head and said in a watery voice, “You even watched my interview. How can you be so cute?”

Xu Ling was stunned.

“I like you like this. So good,” Qin Cong’an said with a gentle smile.

Wait, how did it suddenly switch from the erotic channel to the pure love channel? Just as Xu Ling was about to say something, she saw her press her hand down, tilt her fair neck back, and lick her lips… okay, it had just been a two-second pause. It was still the same channel.

The friend’s wedding was held at a seaside hotel. Most of it was outdoors, grand yet lighthearted.

It didn’t seem to have that many rules. Everything seemed to be proceeding very naturally. The two of them were wearing matching wedding dresses, which didn’t look heavy, but rather light gauze skirts. They looked so good together.

Xu Ling knew it would be beautiful, and was also surprised at how beautiful it was. It made her feel a sense of longing. When she had attended weddings as a child, she had never wanted to be the bride.

Qin Cong’an, next to her, was watching her and didn’t miss her emotions.

They took many photos with the two newlyweds. In the photos, the guests were holding champagne and smiling as brightly as the sun under the palm trees, all infected by the happiness of the two newlyweds.

Just looking at the photos, you could almost hear the laughter. Even after a few years, a few decades, you could probably easily recall the beauty of this day.

After the wedding, the two of them returned to the city. They didn’t go straight home but chose to take a walk along the Thames.

Xu Ling was talking about her happiness today.

“It was really special,” Qin Cong’an said. “Maybe we’ll have a wedding in the future too.”

Xu Ling’s excitement dissipated a little. “Isn’t it too early to talk about this now?”

It was clear that she was still worried about instability. Qin Cong’an nodded. No rush, take it slow.

They happened to be passing by a graffiti wall. Xu Ling handed her phone to Qin Cong’an and asked her to take a picture for her, letting the topic pass naturally.

When they were tired from walking, they sat down to rest.

Xu Ling rested her head on Qin Cong’an’s shoulder and, after leaning quietly for a while, took the initiative to speak. “Do you really think we can also get to that stage?”

“Why not? I’m very confident. Aren’t you?”

“I… don’t know.”

“You’re still young. There’s no rush. It’s not too late to talk about it after you’ve graduated and your work has stabilized.”

Xu Ling felt that that was a very long time. She looked at Qin Cong’an’s serious face. She didn’t seem to be faking it at all. She felt that they could go on for several years and even have a wedding.

Although her heart was still full of uncertainty, at least at this moment, Xu Ling felt very at ease.

In a place they couldn’t see, someone had taken many photos.

As soon as she got home, Xu Ling saw Qin Cong’an take a call and say that they had been photographed. The tone on the other end sounded quite urgent.

Xu Ling quickly looked and saw the headline, which read: So sweet! Plain-clothed girlfriend clings to Qin Cong’an like a big bird!

“…” Xu Ling wanted to curse. Was this polite!
