A OO Love After Officially Announcing with the Best Actress - Chapter 24.2

The night wind scattered the dark clouds, and moonlight spilled down like silver.

Lin Ke could finally see the other person’s face clearly. Red lips and white teeth parted and closed with her breathing. Their pheromones mixed together, pushing them both to the edge of losing control.

The two of them seemed to be inside a steamer basket.

Lin Ke’s face was flushed red. Aside from the tears that kept spilling out, her condition was slightly better. She mumbled, “I thought you and Fang Wuyu had that kind of relationship.”

Lin Bingran stepped on something. Bending over, she picked up two pages from the floor. It was the script.

Scene Sixty-Nine.

The script lay open. The two of them were huddled close together, almost touching, only half a palm’s distance between them. They could not see the words on the page clearly, but they both knew what was written there.

Black words on white paper. It was an extremely languid scene described emotionally by the screenwriter.

Lin Bingran’s head was muddled, her reason lost. In a hoarse voice, she asked, “Why did you come here today?”

Lin Ke said, “To apologize… and study the script…”

According to the script, at this moment, they should have been entwined to the extreme.

Lin Ke felt as though she were about to burn. At this moment, there was no director beside her, no camera, and no clear boundary between inside and outside the scene.

The person sitting before her was Ji Fengling, and also Lin Bingran.

The loss of control over their pheromones led to the loss of control over her mind. In this instant, she infinitely empathized with Chu Feng.

Lin Ke’s gaze was fervent. It did not look like resistance or disgust.

A hand touched her knee, then caught the girl’s chin. Lin Bingran asked, “Disgusting?”

Lin Ke shook her head blankly.

I might be about to become a beast, Lin Bingran thought absentmindedly, lowering her head and kissing Lin Ke.

Everything began with this kiss. The fuse caught fire, scattering sparks everywhere, spreading wantonly from this one corner.

The two rolled onto the carpet. Lin Ke made small sounds continuously and kept crying.

The kiss lasted a long time, until their oxygen was almost drained. Lin Bingran propped herself up halfway and asked, “Why are you crying nonstop?”

Lin Ke had short hair that was almost half-long. Her head felt fluffy to the touch, unlike Lin Bingran’s thick, black, long hair, whose ends brushed everywhere.

Lin Ke said, “…I-I have a tear-incontinence constitution. When I get emotional, I-I easily…”

Lin Bingran sounded like a seasoned veteran in love. “It’s just intimacy. What are you getting emotional about?”

Lin Ke was embarrassed and angry. “Because—because I’ve never dated anyone before!”

Lin Bingran smiled. “We’re not dating either.”

Lin Ke turned her face away. “I’m dirty now.”

Lin Bingran burst into laughter and used her hand to turn Lin Ke’s face back. “Look at me.”

“What are—”

Lin Ke’s words stopped abruptly because Lin Bingran had straddled her and begun taking off her pajamas. Her face was flushed red. “I gave you a chance. You’re the one who insisted on delivering yourself to my door.”

A wave of heat pressed down.

Lin Ke’s eyes filled entirely with tears. Half a month ago, she and Lu Tu had joked about offering herself to Lin Bingran. Who would have thought the words would come true?

The clouds gathered again, and darkness returned. Lin Ke curled up nervously, guided by Lin Bingran holding her hand.

Lin Bingran said, “Touch me.”

On the third floor, the hotel manager led a patrol. Lu Tu opened her room door, stopped them, and asked, “Hello, may I ask when the power will come back?”

The power had already been out for half an hour. Without air conditioning in the room, it was unbearably hot.

The manager held a flashlight. He had already answered dozens of complaint calls and immediately smiled apologetically. “About ten more minutes…”

“You said it would be back in ten minutes earlier. Why is it still ten more minutes now?”

Lu Tu turned around. When the flashlight shone over, she realized the person who had come was Guo Rongrong. The two of them lived on the same floor, and this was the first time they had met in half a month.

Guo Rongrong came aggressively. Backed by the identity of serving a big-name film queen, she had quite the imposing aura.

The lobby manager kept wiping sweat. “…The technician is already making emergency repairs.”

Lu Tu chose to lower her head and play with her phone, avoiding Guo Rongrong.

Guo Rongrong’s aura was two meters eight. “Exactly how much longer? What is wrong with your hotel? In weather this hot, how are people supposed to sleep without air conditioning?”

“Our artist is still sick and already unwell. If she gets a summer cold from the heat…”

The lobby manager was scolded until he was dazed. He quickly made a phone call. After hanging up, his attitude became much more humble. “Soon, soon… I’ll send someone to check right away. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll activate the backup power as soon as possible.”

That worked?

Lu Tu was stunned, admiration rising in her heart.

Then Guo Rongrong glanced at her watch and swept her flashlight in front of Lu Tu. “Why is it you?”

“Cough,” Lu Tu said. “Hello. Where is Rongrong-jie going?”

Guo Rongrong said coldly, “I’m going to the sixth floor to check on Ranran-jie.”

Even the film queen’s assistant was this aloof? Lu Tu rolled her eyes at Guo Rongrong’s back and walked past the staff toward the stairwell.

As if no one else had an artist.

The stairwell was empty. Hearing footsteps, Guo Rongrong turned her head. Her phone flashlight shone over, the light stopping at Lu Tu’s toes. “Why are you following me?”

Lu Tu smiled ingratiatingly. “I’m going up to check on our artist.”

Guo Rongrong snorted coldly.

Throwing your weight around because of your master! Lu Tu smiled shamelessly, thinking, One day, this old lady will bring out a film queen too!

“Rongrong-jie, about what happened on set today, Teacher Lin isn’t angry, is she?”

It would have been better if she had not mentioned it. The moment she did, Guo Rongrong’s expression turned completely unpleasant.

Lu Tu said, “Our Xiao Lin is just a tiny bit immature. Part of that is also because I didn’t manage her well. Look, how about I first apologize to you on her behalf? Could you ask Teacher Lin to give us another chance?”

Guo Rongrong sped up the stairs. Lu Tu sped up to catch up.

“Rongrong-jie…”

Their footsteps grew faster and faster. One fled, one chased, and the two of them stomped up the stairs with loud thuds.

“Stop following me!”

“Rongrong-jie! Listen to me explain. I really came sincerely to apologize…”

In the air, sticky green plum and green tea mixed together. The flow of oxygen seemed to slow, like a gelatinous substance clogging the space, congealing in the scorching atmosphere.

Lin Bingran panted continuously. One of her hands was intertwined with Lin Ke’s ten fingers, and the other clung to her shoulder. She moved restlessly, her eyes covered in mist, urging unbearably, “Hurry…”

Lin Ke’s voice twisted with tears. “You’re too much… then what about me…”

Lin Bingran sat up, caught Lin Ke’s lips, touched them twice, coaxing her as she exhaled a soft breath. “Let me go first.”

Lin Ke swallowed and worked hard to help Lin Bingran. Aside from that, she cried even harder.

Two sets of footsteps stopped outside the door. Guo Rongrong turned around helplessly. “Why are you following me?”

Lu Tu looked innocent and pointed at the Room 602 plaque. “I’m here to find our artist.”

Guo Rongrong suffered a loss and fell silent, then reached out and knocked on Room 601’s door.

Bang, bang, bang.

The knocks were very proper, but they startled the pair of entwined mandarin ducks inside.

The skin at the side of her neck suddenly tightened. Lin Ke gave two soft hums. Under Lin Bingran’s attention, her legs and hands went weak, and her strength loosened.

Bang, bang, bang!

Lin Bingran pursued forward, her waist moving beautifully. Waves of electricity rolled through her body, making her tremble nonstop.

Bang, bang, bang!

Lin Ke was so nervous she wanted to retreat. “Teacher Lin, hurry up… I’m leaving…”

“Go out now?” Lin Bingran groaned softly. “Ngh, are you trying to make the front page?”

Lin Ke’s eyes were red, and she wiped all her tears against Lin Bingran’s neck. She buried her head and bit Lin Bingran’s shoulder in revenge, complaining, “You only care about your own comfort.”

“What’s going on?” Guo Rongrong had knocked for a long time, but no one had come to open the door. She swiped her room card and turned the handle, but the door was locked from the inside and would not open.

Guo Rongrong lowered her head and was about to call when, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lu Tu still beside her.

“What are you doing!” Guo Rongrong was startled.

The corridor was pitch-black. Only the green emergency light in the other hallway gave off a dim, dark-green glow. Lu Tu stood to one side, the faint light behind her.

Lu Tu said, “Ah?”

Lu Tu said, “I’m messaging Lin Ke to open the door. She hasn’t replied.”

Guo Rongrong asked, “You don’t have a room card?”

Lu Tu: “…”

She did have one. Lu Tu swiped the door open. Inside was pitch-black. She stood at the doorway and swept her flashlight inside a few times.

Lin Ke was not in Room 602. Lu Tu touched her nose, thinking that meant she really was in Room 601.

She and Lin Ke had gone to the supermarket together and ordered delivery. She had sent Lin Ke up to the sixth floor before returning to the third. Lin Ke could not have gone anywhere else.

Lu Tu closed Room 602’s door and moved back into the corridor.

Lu Tu asked as if making small talk, “The room card can’t open it? What about the key?”

Guo Rongrong glanced at Lu Tu. The hotel had provided two room cards and one key. She had only taken one room card. The key was in her bag. Guo Rongrong searched through it and did not find it.

The phone was not being answered either. Guo Rongrong grew a little anxious. “I’ll call someone to open the door.”

“Oh,” Lu Tu answered faintly, then suddenly whipped her head around. “What?”

Guo Rongrong said, “I’m calling hotel staff to open the door.”

The corner of Lu Tu’s mouth twitched. “Knock again. What if she’s just sleeping too deeply?”

“It’s not good to cause such a fuss in the middle of the night.”

Guo Rongrong took a deep breath, knocked, and called, “Jie! Ranran-jie, are you there?”

“…”

“Hurry,” Lin Ke breathed out.

Lin Bingran said, “I wanted to say the same to you. Hurry up.”

Lin Ke: “…”

Lin Bingran was almost completely leaning against Lin Ke. She was a little taller than Lin Ke, her chin resting against the top of Lin Ke’s head as she hugged her tightly.

Lin Bingran held Lin Ke’s head firmly and let out a soft sound, her chin rubbing hard against Lin Ke’s thick hair.

Lin Ke pleaded, “Teacher Lin… my fingers are sore. Hurry up…”

“Ranran-jie!” The door was being knocked on with loud thuds. Guo Rongrong was anxious and took out the room card to try several more times.

The room card kept swiping against the door lock.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Beep, beep, beep…

“Ranran-jie?”

Lu Tu was worried about Lin Ke. She pulled Guo Rongrong aside and hammered the door with an iron fist. “Teacher Lin! Are you in there?”

Lin Ke urged with a flushed face, “Hurry up.”

Lin Bingran answered dazedly.

Beep, beep, beep…

Lin Ke heard Lu Tu’s voice. She could not make out what she was saying, but in that instant, the guilty feeling of being caught fooling around by a parent surged up.

“Hurry, Teacher Lin.”

Lin Ke tried to pull her hand back. “Teacher Lin…”

Lin Bingran pressed down on her hand. “Don’t rush me. I can’t hurry…”

So hot.

Lin Ke felt as if she were about to burn into ashes. Unable to bear it anymore, she leaned close to Lin Bingran’s ear and kissed the shell of it.

Lin Bingran let out a muffled groan.

“Could something have happened?” Lu Tu asked worriedly. “Call her a few more times! I’ll help you call!”

People made mistakes when they were flustered. Guo Rongrong quickly calmed down and contacted hotel management.

Before the call could go through, Lin Bingran’s call came in first.

Guo Rongrong answered quickly. “Jie! How are you?”

Lin Bingran’s voice carried a long, lingering aftertaste. Her words were a little breathy. “What are you shouting for?”

Guo Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Tu’s heart jumped into her throat, her ear pressing toward Guo Rongrong’s phone.

Lin Bingran said in a low voice, “My heat is here.”

Guo Rongrong covered the phone and stepped aside. “No wonder… Then are you okay?”

Lu Tu’s ears immediately pricked up. Hearing this was no small matter. She quickly took out her phone and called Lin Ke.

“Hello…”

Guilty, lacking confidence, and carrying a softness that sounded as if water could be squeezed from it.

Lu Tu blushed on Lin Ke’s behalf first, then lowered her voice. “Where are you? What dirty thing are you doing?”

Lin Ke said in a muffled voice, “…I’m in my room.”

“Can you at least draft your lie first?” Lu Tu complained. “I just came out of your room… Damn!”

Lin Ke was startled. Like a knee-jerk reaction, her foot kicked against Lin Bingran.

Lin Bingran groaned.

Guo Rongrong asked nervously, “What’s wrong?! Jie?!!”

Lin Ke covered the receiver and asked softly, “Are you okay?”

Lin Bingran found Lin Ke’s arm, moved upward, clasped the back of her neck, and stroked it. With lingering satisfaction, she said, “I’m fine.”

Whether she was answering Guo Rongrong or Lin Ke, Lin Ke personally felt that Lin Bingran was answering her, like they were secretly exchanging signals.

Lin Bingran was really wicked, Lin Ke thought with a red face.

Lu Tu gritted her teeth. “You didn’t go hook up with someone, did you?!!”

Lin Ke had not expected Lu Tu to react so quickly and have such outstanding insight. Instantly, her words became unclear. “I… I… My heat came…”

Lu Tu rushed straight toward the stairwell. “If you’re in heat, take an injection! Where are you? Which actor’s room are you in? Tell me now! Immediately! I’ll come get you!”

Moonlight fell in again. Lin Ke’s night blindness eased. When she raised her eyes and caught sight of Lin Bingran’s curving figure, she swallowed wildly.

The two of them knelt facing each other. One glance at each other was enough to set them on fire.

Lin Bingran narrowed her eyes slightly and said into the phone, “Mm, I know… Don’t come in. It’s inconvenient.”

Guo Rongrong asked, “How is it inconvenient? Did you take the injection?”

Lin Bingran said directly, “Lin Ke is with me.”

Lin Ke’s desire made her bold. “…In Lin Bingran’s room.”

Lin Bingran tossed away her phone, grabbed Lin Ke’s clothes, and pulled her closer.

Silence.

A silence so still one could hear a needle drop.

“What?!”

“What?!”

Two voices rang out in unison from the corridor, directly cracking from the shout.

Lu Tu held onto the stair railing and pressed her own philtrum.

Guo Rongrong held onto the hallway wall, too shocked to speak into the phone. “Jie, you, you, you—”

Beep, beep, beep—

Before they could question anything, both calls were hung up.

Guo Rongrong was still stunned. Lu Tu charged back from the stairwell corner.

“Open the door!” Lu Tu pointed at Room 601.

Guo Rongrong stared wide-eyed. “…Why should I?”

Lu Tu said, “Lin Ke is in heat. I need to go in and check on her!”

“Lin Ke is in heat too?!” Guo Rongrong was shocked.

Lu Tu said, “Too?!”

“You said too!” Lu Tu’s nostrils flared, and her whole body swayed.

What would happen if two omegas in heat were shut together?

Their pheromones would affect each other. Either they would suffer until they could not endure it, or…

Lu Tu thought of Lin Ke’s voice, so soft it sounded like water could be wrung from it.

Guo Rongrong thought of Lin Bingran’s tone afterward, both satisfied and still wanting.

Lu Tu was really afraid Lin Ke would lose her legs from being too wanton.

Guo Rongrong was really afraid Lin Bingran would not be able to get out of bed afterward.

Lu Tu thought: Lin Ke was so young, and Lin Bingran was already twenty-eight. As the saying went, women in their thirties were like wolves and tigers. Near thirty still counted as thirty. Lin Ke was so tender and still growing. What if she got drained dry?

Guo Rongrong thought: Lin Ke was only twenty-two. Young people easily went overboard once they went crazy. What if she demanded too much and hurt Lin Bingran?

In the darkness, Guo Rongrong and Lu Tu reached a consensus.

Each took out her phone and called her own artist.

Putting aside those unhealthy thoughts, Lin Bingran and Lin Ke truly were not suitable.

The call would not connect.

Still would not connect.

Guo Rongrong gritted her teeth, turned her backpack over, and shook out its contents. Finally, she dug out a key from inside.

Lu Tu said, “Damn! Didn’t you say you didn’t have the key?!”

Guo Rongrong said, “Ranran-jie said the key poked her flesh, so I was only keeping it for her.”

Guo Rongrong inserted the key into the lock, then pulled it back out again.

Lu Tu urged anxiously, “Open the door already!”

Guo Rongrong’s expression was serious. “My artist is inside. You should avoid looking.”

Lu Tu was irritable. “Whose artist isn’t an artist?”

Guo Rongrong said, “Can that be the same?!”

“Damn! Looking down on an eighteenth-tier actress, are you?”

“What’s there to say about an eighteenth-tier actress?”

Lu Tu reached out to snatch the key, and the two of them began wrestling in the dark. The flashlight swung back and forth through the pitch-black corridor.

The beam of light swayed left and right.

Lu Tu said, “My artist is inside too, so please avoid looking as well!”

Guo Rongrong said, “No! You’re shameless!”

Lu Tu said, “You’re the shameless one! I thought the film queen was so noble! Is an eighteenth-tier actress not human? Can an eighteenth-tier actress just be tricked into bed?”

Guo Rongrong was shocked. “Who are you slandering? Who knows if your eighteenth-tier actress was trying to cling to a powerful thigh!”

Lu Tu said, “Cling to a thigh?! Who doesn’t know Lin Ke is Lin Bingran’s anti-fan! Cling to a thigh…”

“Oh, admitting it now, are you? Then why pretend to be a fan?” Guo Rongrong shot back. “Buying press releases to ride popularity, stepping on others every day to climb up, and now climbing into someone’s bed. Are you that desperate to become famous?”

Lu Tu cursed inwardly at herself for talking too fast. Eighteenth-tier, popularity and hate, unspoken rules, role replacement, resources, overnight fame… This was an opportunity… They had already slept together… She could not let Lin Ke sleep for nothing…

More than a dozen terms quickly connected, forming one line in her mind.

In a flash, Lu Tu snatched the key, stabbed it into the keyhole, and yanked it downward with force.

Snap!

The sound was extremely crisp.

The noise stopped abruptly.

Lu Tu held the key handle.

The rest of it had broken off inside the lock.

Guo Rongrong: “…”

Lu Tu sucked in a breath of cold air. Her acting was even more convincing than a film queen’s. “Hiss! What do we do?”

Guo Rongrong: “…”

Lu Tu said, “Call the police? Ask the AO Heat Emergency Channel 520 for help?”

“Are you insane!” Guo Rongrong cried out. “We can’t call the police!”

Lu Tu asked, “Then what do we do? Call hotel staff to pry the lock open?”

“No!” Guo Rongrong’s face turned pale. “They’re in heat. This matter can’t be exposed. If the media finds out…”

Lu Tu tested, “Then how about… we leave first?”

“No—what?!” Guo Rongrong looked at Lu Tu in shock. “What do you mean? You’re just going to leave them alone?”

Lu Tu smiled apologetically. “When heaven wants to rain and an omega wants to go into heat, what can assistants like us do?”

“Besides, isn’t this kind of thing very normal in the industry?” Lu Tu put a hand on Guo Rongrong’s shoulder and tried to pull her in. “Relax. One night as husband and wife brings a hundred days of affection. Better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. Are you going to spoil your film queen’s good thing?”

Guo Rongrong shook off Lu Tu’s hand. The two left through the stairwell and went down to the fifth-floor landing.

Guo Rongrong said, “Crazy. What normal or not normal! Ranran-jie has never hooked up before!”

Lu Tu nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, our Xiao Lin is the same. Clean as a blank sheet of paper, pure and peerless little white O…”

Before she finished speaking, the stairwell instantly became brightly lit.

The strong light was dazzling. Lu Tu and Guo Rongrong both closed their eyes, then slowly opened them.

At the door of a fifth-floor room, Wang Bingbing and Shen Du were kissing passionately, eyes closed, fully intoxicated.

Guo Rongrong: “…”

Lu Tu said softly, “I told you, this is very normal~”

…

The strong light was glaring. Lin Ke suddenly turned her head away. “The lights…”

Lin Ke raised her hand to block the light, turning her head to one side.

Lin Bingran hooked the back of her neck and lowered her head to kiss her. The two of them pressed together, sticky and tangled.

“Stop crying,” Lin Bingran said, kissing away Lin Ke’s tears.

[What’s wrong with kissing her eyes?]

Lin Ke wanted to cry even more. “I can’t help it… When is it my turn…”

Really…

Lin Bingran cupped Lin Ke’s jaw with both hands and coaxed her softly.

[Is the censor trying to anger me to death?]

The silk sheets had been wrinkled, messed up, damp, and creased.

The dazzling wall lamp cast a halo of light, mottled and shifting, swaying nonstop.

Lin Bingran bit her lower lip, her hair scattered messily. “Wait a little longer. Be good, hm? Listen?”

[Nothing below the neck.]

Lin Bingran was a liar in bed!

A big liar! A great demon!

Now that the power was back, the air conditioner started running again with a constant hum. The cold air diluted part of the heat, but it could not thin the increasingly dense pheromones.

[Nothing below the neck.]

Lin Ke hiccupped from crying. Her head was feverish, while inside, she was still cursing nonstop.

Lin Bingran was not human.

She had tricked Lin Ke into taking the lead, and after Lin Ke ran out of strength, she still had to serve her.

Lin Ke was faint and breathless. “…I have no strength left.”

Lin Bingran leaned down and pecked her with kisses. Lin Ke had no self-control. As long as Lin Bingran offered her a little softness, she would turn into a bee chasing nectar, instinctively craving sweetness.

[It’s just kissing!]

The pheromones in the room were thicker than honey. The sweet-and-sour green plum and slightly bitter green tea were like a perfectly proportioned drink, sweet and astringent, impossible to stop wanting.

Lin Ke’s chest rose and fell, and she sobbed nonstop.

Lin Bingran lowered her head and bit her lip. The still scenery before her eyes drifted uncertainly, as if it were shaking.

[There is no content below the neck.]

Lin Bingran’s eyes were unfocused, hazy, and unbearably alluring.

Hot sweat slid down Lin Bingran’s cheek, dripped beside Lin Ke’s face, slid toward her temple, and fell into the pillow towel.

[This is only a simple description of crying and tears, just to create the atmosphere. There is nothing below the neck, nothing!]

Lin Ke shrank back, her tears soaking the pillow towel. “Can you give me an injection… please?”

“Let me go.”

“Wuwuwuwuwu, if I had another chance, I definitely wouldn’t have come to find you today…”

[Do a few lines of dialogue really deserve another lock? The last few hundred words have gotten me stuck several times.]

“Use the toy.”

“Spare me.”

“Wuwuwu.”

“X﹏X”

“Lin Bingran… Great Demon King… You only care about yourself…”

Lin Bingran’s voice was hoarse. “I moved on my own the whole time. You’re just a pillow. What’s wrong?”

[Censor, please don’t overinterpret.]
