A OO Love After Officially Announcing with the Best Actress - Chapter 16
Lin Ke left in a huff.
Shen Feng lit a cigarette and looked at Lin Bingran with inexplicable curiosity. “You make jokes like that too?”
Lin Bingran glanced sideways. There was still a smile on her face. She restrained it a little and replied, “Just livening up the filming atmosphere.”
Shen Feng exhaled a cloud of smoke and said with unclear meaning, “Be careful.”
Lin Bingran asked, “Of what?”
Shen Feng pointed at Lin Ke’s retreating figure and shook her head.
This scene was filmed from early morning until dusk. After several hours of tossing around, they finally achieved the effect Shen Feng wanted.
During it, Lin Ke NG’d frequently. In the afternoon, she paid out of her own pocket to treat everyone to afternoon tea. When she returned to the RV after getting off work, she barely had the strength to open and close the door. She listlessly collapsed onto the bed, face down, burying herself in the blanket.
Lu Tu got into the passenger seat, turned back, and eagerly asked, “How was it? Did it feel good?”
Lin Ke’s brain was muddled. Her voice was muffled, and the fragrance of green tea had not yet faded from her lips and teeth. “What?”
Lu Tu said, “The kiss! Did it feel good?”
Lin Ke said, “…What the hell? Why would it feel good?”
Lu Tu giggled. “No way. There had to be some reaction, right? When you were filming, it felt so pure, but also kind of sexy…”
Lin Ke: “…”
Lu Tu asked, “Was it more of a psychological reaction or a physical one?”
Lin Ke said, “…Are you sick? Who would have a physical reaction from kissing an omega?!”
Lu Tu could hardly bear to look directly at Lin Ke’s flushed face. “Your stubborn little look is so cute. Look in the mirror. See how red your little face is? Half the set was filled with your pheromones.”
“I… I…” For a moment, Lin Ke was speechless.
“Whatever else you say about Film Queen Lin, isn’t her figure and appearance fairy-level?”
Lin Ke said, “Even if a fairy kissed me for an entire day, I’d have gone limp long ago!”
Lu Tu clicked her tongue. “Born into fortune and not knowing how fortunate you are.”
Lu Tu’s laughter suddenly stopped and turned into an awkward chuckle. “Hehe, Lin…”
Lin Ke bristled and interrupted her. “What are you hehe-ing about?”
Maybe it was too interesting, because Lu Tu gave two more hehe’s.
Embarrassed and angry, Lin Ke felt that her identity as an anti-fan had been sullied. She shouted, “Isn’t it all because Lin Bingran is too good at sucking?!”
Lu Tu: “…”
Lin Ke’s fingers dug into the leather cover of the seat as she accused, “She sucked my… mouth…”
She was too embarrassed to finish the second half. Because Lin Bingran had not only sucked her lips, she had also scraped the root of Lin Ke’s teeth with the tip of her tongue, causing electricity to rush through Lin Ke’s whole body. Her legs had gone weak, she had trembled, and she had failed to continue the scene several times. When filming ended, the staff’s gazes had been ambiguous. Anyone who did not know better would have thought she had done it on purpose!
Lin Ke rolled over and stared at the roof of the car, complaining, “…So annoying! I regret taking this role.”
Lu Tu’s laughter lowered and disappeared. Suddenly, she coughed. “Lin…”
Lin Bingran raised a finger to her lips. “Shh.”
There was a partition between the front and back of the RV, so Lu Tu could only see Lin Ke’s two legs sticking out at the edge of the bed, awkwardly bending and stretching. One moment they were pressed together, the next they opened, and then she kicked the air twice.
Risking her life, Lu Tu reminded her, “It’s all for filming…”
“Tsk.”
That soft click had no time to be interpreted before it became a wildfire, igniting Lin Ke’s shame.
Lin Ke suddenly raised her eyes. “You’re still tsk-ing?!”
Xiao Wang had been temporarily borrowed by the crew, so the RV door had been left half-closed while waiting for him. But Xiao Wang did not come. Instead, an uninvited guest was standing at the doorway.
Lu Tu held her forehead and completely stopped talking.
Lin Ke sat up from the bed with a swish, her eyes round. After losing her voice for a moment, she finally squeezed out a tiny breath of sound, timid and submissive. “…T-Teacher Lin.”
“Why are you here…”
Lin Bingran leaned against the RV door and said faintly, “The driver isn’t here. I thought I’d come over and hitch a ride. Who knew I’d hear such explosive behind-the-scenes details about the passionate scene?”
Lin Ke: “…”
Lu Tu deeply felt that her old face had been completely lost. She hurriedly invited Lin Bingran into the car and called Xiao Wang to urge him back.
Lin Ke moved from the bed to the table and stammered, “Where’s Rongrong?”
Lin Bingran sat face-to-face with Lin Ke, scrolling on her phone. She casually replied, “She went to pick up Du Yi.”
More than ten minutes earlier.
After Lin Bingran changed out of her costume in the dressing room, the crew was packing up equipment.
They were filming outdoor scenes tomorrow, so everything had to be prepared in advance. Setting up a set could take several hours at least. Since they had time today, everyone moved some of the equipment over first.
Guo Rongrong was not there. The two assistants beside Lin Bingran had gone to help the crew move things and had not returned. Shen Feng arranged for a crew car to take Lin Bingran back.
“Where’s Car A5-1?” Shen Feng asked through the walkie-talkie.
The coordinator ran over covered in sweat and said, “The car went to transport equipment. It went to the seaside two hours ago and got stuck in quicksand. They still haven’t pulled it out!”
Helpless, Shen Feng said to Lin Bingran, “In a bit, take the director’s car.”
But the director still had to work overtime reviewing footage. The coordinator smiled apologetically and suggested, “I saw the female lead’s RV is still outside. Film Queen Lin, you and her are staying on the same floor at the hotel. Why don’t you go back together?”
Shen Feng said, “I’ll contact Xiao Lin for you.”
Asking back and forth was troublesome. Lin Bingran said, “You’re busy. I’ll go myself.”
Inside the RV.
Lin Bingran and Lin Ke sat at the table.
Lin Ke almost buried her face into her phone, her fingers tapping wildly.
Lin Ke: Save me…
Lu Tu: Powerless to help.
Lin Ke: My stardom is going to be ruined!!!
Lu Tu: Your stardom might not be, but I, Lu Tu, might be ruined.
Lin Ke: “…”
Across from her, Lin Bingran started a game.
Lin Ke secretly glanced over, thinking it would be some popular battle royale or MOBA. Who knew it was actually a little cooking game in a kitchen? The interface was even pink.
Lin Ke: “…”
Lin Bingran was stewing something. The recipe said Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Lu Tu got into the driver’s seat, turned back, and said with a smile, “I’ll take you two back first, then come back to pick up Xiao Wang. We can’t just keep waiting like this.”
Lin Ke nodded repeatedly. “Teacher Lin, shall we head back first?”
Lin Bingran lifted her noble chin slightly.
The car started.
Lin Bingran held up her phone for Lin Ke to see the screen. “Do you know what ingredients go into Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?”
Lin Ke: “…”
The two of them pressed their heads together and began studying how to cook a bowl of cartoon Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Lin Bingran said, “Ginger, scallions, and garlic.”
Lin Ke was puzzled. “Isn’t this soup? Don’t you add scallions only when taking it off the heat?”
Lin Bingran’s brows gathered slightly. “Is that so? You’re good at cooking.”
Did sprinkling scallions count as knowing how to cook?
Lin Ke pressed her lips together. Her head was almost touching Lin Bingran’s. The green-tea scent was faint and barely there. Lin Bingran had her pheromones very well controlled.
Lin Ke could not help complaining, “…At least I can tell grains apart.”
Lin Bingran narrowed her eyes slightly. “What are the five grains?”
Lin Ke choked, unable to say a word.
Lin Bingran’s eyes curved. Just as she was about to say something, her phone dinged. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall finished cooking and rescued Lin Ke.
“I really want to drink it,” Lin Bingran said, looking at Lin Ke.
Lin Ke: “…”
Was this a hint? This was practically an explicit order! Where was she supposed to get Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for her?!
Flustered, Lin Ke grabbed the phone on her knees into her palm, then placed it on the table again. “I’ll check delivery for you…”
Ding.
A WeChat message came in.
Zhu Mo: “Finished filming the kissing scene? Our Keke worked hard, huh?”
Smack!
Lin Ke flipped her phone face down on the table.
Lin Bingran saw it clearly: the message on the phone, and Lin Ke’s flushed face.
Lin Ke coughed. “Teacher Lin, I’ll make you some tea.”
The tea leaves were the ones Lin Bingran had given her, and they had been sitting untouched in the RV.
Lin Ke boiled water, used a new cup, opened the tea packet, sprinkled some in, and dawdled as she brought it over to Lin Bingran. “Please… have some tea…”
For the first time, twenty minutes felt so difficult to endure. Lu Tu did not dare say a single word.
The tea was too hot. Lin Bingran blew on it and asked, “Not replying?”
Lin Ke: “…”
Lin Bingran was skilled at settling accounts after the fact. “I’m too good at sucking?”
Lin Ke’s face turned bright red. She braced herself and replied, “No… It’s my self-control that’s lacking.”
Lin Bingran looked at her and said, “Your self-control is indeed lacking. Kissing scenes and bed scenes are all part of the film. You’re interpreting a character. You shouldn’t bring those emotions off set.”
Lin Ke’s face became even redder. It was not only from shame and anger, but also from the embarrassment of being lectured by a senior.
Lin Bingran put away her phone and took a sip of tea. “Good luck.”
Lin Ke’s heart gave a thump. The car stopped. Lin Bingran put down the cup, opened the car door, and stepped out.
Lu Tu’s mouth opened slightly. “Holy crap… Did you make the film queen angry?!”
Lin Ke buried her head in the crook of her arm and said dully, “I don’t know…”
