After We Broke Up, She Started Pursuing Me [Entertainment Industry] 34

Chapter 34

That voice was like a lover’s coaxing, like a child’s plea, so soft and sweet that Zhou Jinsi was completely powerless to resist.

Seeing her frozen and silent, Shi Qin hooked Zhou Jinsi’s little finger and shook it gently. “Okay…?”

Shi Qin would never know how cute she looked at this moment, like a wounded little animal, rubbing its fluffy head against you again and again, begging for a comforting touch.

With such a look, even the most stone-hearted person would have their cold facade melt in half. Not to mention, Zhou Jinsi had never been a hard-hearted person.

At this moment, her heart had long since turned to mush from Shi Qin’s soft calls.

In an instant, all her grievances were thrown to the back of her mind. Zhou Jinsi’s fingers moved slightly, gently taking Shi Qin’s hand. It was a rare sight to hear her speak so softly, “I’m not leaving. I’m right here.”

“Mhm… Zhou Xiao Si…”

Her voice was light and sweet. Hearing it, Zhou Jinsi’s heart trembled again. She leaned down, bringing her ear closer.

“What do you want to say? I’m listening…”

Shi Qin’s brow furrowed in discomfort. Her fingers hooked onto her collar, pulling her down. Her lips were almost touching Zhou Jinsi’s earlobe. “My head hurts so much. I don’t feel well…”

Hearing this, Zhou Jinsi stood up and saw Shi Qin’s flushed face, her long hair scattered on the pillow, a little messy. She inexplicably wanted to reach out and stroke it, but when she realized this thought, her hand paused and she pulled it back.

She sighed softly, coaxing the person before her as if she were a child. “You have a fever. I’ll make you some medicine later. You’ll feel better after you drink it.”

“But you haven’t eaten anything tonight. Get up and have some soup first, okay?”

Shi Qin nodded, then asked, “Is it mushroom soup again?”

Zhou Jinsi had already gotten up and brought the bowl over. “It’s fish soup. I’ve removed the bones from the fish meat, so you can just eat it directly.”

Shi Qin sat up, took the bowl, and had a sip. It didn’t have much flavor, but it was fresh and delicious. Drinking the hot soup, her whole body warmed up, and she felt much more comfortable.

“Where did the fish come from?” Shi Qin asked, looking at the tender white fish meat in the soup.

During the day, they had been climbing the mountain, thinking they could complete the mission and get a sumptuous dinner in return. But they had encountered such an accident midway. Not only had they lost the watermelon, but they hadn’t even picked up the sesame seeds.

Zhou Jinsi: “I caught it. I saw the rain had stopped just now, so I went to the nearby river to try my luck. Not too many, not too few, just one.”

“There’s still a little bread left in the bag. Do you want some to go with your soup?”

Shi Qin didn’t reply. Instead, she asked, “Have you eaten?”

Zhou Jinsi also answered truthfully, “Not yet. You eat first. I’ll eat later when I’m hungry.”

With that, she took out a few slices of sandwich bread from the bag and tore them open for her one by one.

Shi Qin didn’t say anything more, silently drinking her soup and taking small bites of bread. Seeing her so well-behaved, Zhou Jinsi’s heart filled with even more affection.

She felt that at this moment, Shi Qin was like a little rabbit. When her cheeks moved, it made one want to pinch them.

“What are you looking at me for?”

“Huh?”

The sudden question made Zhou Jinsi freeze for a moment. Then, she averted her gaze and said unnaturally, “Nothing…”

“Mhm?” Shi Qin stared at her without blinking.

Zhou Jinsi’s heart began to race with guilt. Though the cold post-rain wind was blowing outside, at this moment, she felt inexplicably hot, her expression very ill at ease.

“I’m, I’m going to make you some medicine. You eat first.”

Before Shi Qin could ask a second question, Zhou Jinsi quickly stood up, lifted the tent flap, and left.

Watching her actions, Shi Qin also felt a little helpless. She swore she hadn’t had any intention of teasing her just now.

She could now clearly recognize Zhou Jinsi’s shy expression, but she would rather Zhou Jinsi be more proactive and bold with her…

.

After drinking the medicine, Shi Qin was overcome with drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep again.

After seeing that she was fast asleep, Zhou Jinsi drank the rest of the now-cold soup and ate some crackers to fill her stomach. With her hunger sated, she had intended to sit outside for a while and enjoy the breeze, but seeing that it was about to rain again, she had no choice but to return to the tent to rest.

It was chilly outside the tent. The moment she stepped inside, Zhou Jinsi felt her whole body warm up. Shi Qin was still fast asleep, so it was up to her to end tonight’s recording.

She picked up the camera and pointed the lens at herself, waving a little unnaturally. She wasn’t like Shi Qin. The thought that at this moment, she was not just facing this small lens, but countless viewers, made her feel a little awkward.

She glanced back. Shi Qin was sleeping soundly. She moved the camera a little closer, whispered a soft “good night,” and then turned off the machine, relieved.

Afraid of making too much noise and waking Shi Qin, Zhou Jinsi tiptoed to her sleeping bag and slipped under a corner of the quilt.

It was still early, and she wasn’t sleepy. She picked up the book she had brought, found her bookmark, and continued to read.

The books she read were usually related to her major. These past few days, thinking it would be a good way to pass the time, she had brought a youth literature novel that had been sitting on her shelf for a long time but had never been read.

Zhou Jinsi was always very focused when she read. The sound of the rain outside the tent didn’t disturb her; in fact, it made her feel even more relaxed. The pages of the book turned one by one as time passed.

She was engrossed. There was a passage in the book that read:

“There wasn’t a single train all day. She and I took the cat to the tracks to bask in the sun, so quiet it was almost like sitting at the bottom of a lake. We were young, newly married, and the sunshine was free.”

The beauty and leisure conveyed between the lines were moving. When Zhou Jinsi read this passage, the other main character she imagined in her mind was lying right beside her.

At this thought, Zhou Jinsi’s eyes shifted slightly to look at Shi Qin. As if sensing something, she moved closer to Zhou Jinsi, muttering something in her sleep.

Zhou Jinsi couldn’t hear clearly. She moved closer, only to realize she had been murmuring about being cold.

“Are you cold?” Zhou Jinsi asked to herself.

She raised her hand and pulled Shi Qin’s quilt up further, but it was to no avail. She was about to share some of her own quilt when she found that Shi Qin had, at some point, opened her eyes.

Zhou Jinsi paused and asked her, “Why are you awake?”

Shi Qin bit her lip and looked at her with a pitiful expression. “Zhou Xiao Si, I’m cold…”

“Then… I’ll give you half of my quilt.”

“I don’t want it.”

Zhou Jinsi was a little flustered by her gaze. “Then… what do you want? Should I see if there are any extra quilts in the RV?”

Shi Qin shook her head. She said, “I want you to hold me.”

Zhou Jinsi: “?”

“Hey, no…”

Before she could react, Shi Qin had already lifted her quilt and pressed her burning body against hers.

“You…” Zhou Jinsi subconsciously wanted to push her away, but Shi Qin held her even tighter.

She pressed against Zhou Jinsi from the side, her head leaving her embrace, her face almost touching Zhou Jinsi’s as she looked at her.

“I’m a patient right now. As my partner, shouldn’t you take care of me?”

Zhou Jinsi was completely baffled and could only reply, “Yes…”

“Then I’m cold now, and I want you to hold me. You’ll agree to that too, right?”

Zhou Jinsi: “I…”

Why does it have to be holding? What kind of logic is that?

Not giving her a chance to answer, Shi Qin moved her face a fraction closer. Their noses were about to touch. Zhou Jinsi felt as if her body had been set on fire, burning hot all over.

The light was dim, and intimacy grew in the darkness.

Their gazes intertwined, a tingling numbness growing in their hearts. Zhou Jinsi’s gaze slid down, drawn to her slightly parted lips.

Shi Qin’s lips were beautifully shaped, and their touch was naturally nice… At this moment, though not as rosy as usual, and even a little dry, in Zhou Jinsi’s eyes, they were a different kind of temptation.

This person’s lips are just likely to make one sin.

Zhou Jinsi’s breathing quickened. Shi Qin didn’t move, just maintaining that one-fraction distance. After a long time, Zhou Jinsi began to feel her mouth go dry.

She finally couldn’t resist the burning desire within her. She lifted her chin and leaned forward—

“Hey.” Shi Qin timely placed her finger between their lips.

Zhou Jinsi frowned, her eyes filled with a slight confusion. But Shi Qin smiled, pressing her index finger down on her lips.

“Want to kiss? You can’t.”
“I’m still sick. I’ll pass it on to you.”
