A OO Love After Officially Announcing with the Best Actress - Chapter 32

Lin Ke blushed and turned sideways to hug Lin Bingran, her hand angrily grabbing Lin Bingran’s butt twice.

Lin Bingran’s expression went blank for a second. Then she heard Lin Ke scold, fierce on the outside but weak inside, “B-behave yourself.”

Lin Bingran pressed down the corners of her mouth and tiredly touched Lin Ke’s face. “You haven’t even removed your makeup…”

Lin Ke dodged Lin Bingran’s fingers and said, “I don’t have cleansing oil. I’ll remove it later. Hurry and sleep.”

Lin Bingran hummed and half-leaned into Lin Ke’s arms. The two hugged and slept, and even though the position was awkward, they slept very deeply.

Not long after, Lu Tu and Guo Rongrong came in one after the other. Guo Rongrong called a nurse to change Lin Bingran’s final IV bottle. Lin Bingran was a light sleeper. After waking up, she raised her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture at Guo Rongrong.

Lin Ke was dead asleep. Even when the nurse changed Lin Bingran’s IV and laid her flat, Lin Ke felt nothing.

A dimple appeared at the corner of Lin Bingran’s mouth. Guo Rongrong inwardly complained, not knowing who was taking care of whom.

Lin Bingran closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Lu Tu put the things away, closed the door, and played games with Guo Rongrong on the hallway’s companion chairs.

It was past eight at night, but the hospital corridor was chilly.

Lu Tu clicked her tongue. “Tsk.”

“What are you tsking for?” Guo Rongrong said. “Wait, I have a message to reply to.”

Lu Tu said, “Can’t you reply after the team fight ends?”

Guo Rongrong went to the end of the hallway to listen to a voice message. When she came back, Lu Tu had lost the team fight and was trying to report her teammate.

Guo Rongrong said, “…Why are you just like your master? Ungrateful little wolf. Lin Ke is just a little ungrateful wolf.”

Lu Tu was puzzled. “It’s fine if you scold Lin Ke. Why are you scolding me?”

Guo Rongrong: “…”

Lu Tu asked, “What’s the matter?”

Guo Rongrong sent a project proposal to Lu Tu’s WeChat. It was a costume drama adapted from an IP. The original work was already quite popular. Back then, Lu Tu had even fantasized that the casting director might be blind enough to take a fancy to Lin Ke.

This kind of drama basically belonged to the type where whoever filmed it would become popular. Lu Tu said in surprise, “Wh-what does this mean?”

Guo Rongrong briefly explained the cause and effect. Some time ago, Du Yi had sent over a pile of scripts. Lin Bingran had picked through them and disliked every single one, but she had gathered quite a few for Lin Ke instead. This was the female lead role most suitable for Lin Ke among them.

Lu Tu’s jaw almost dropped. “Th-this, this…”

Guo Rongrong said, “Ran-jie said Lin Ke might not even be willing to accept it. We’ve been communicating for a week, and the director still hasn’t been finalized. We can observe for a little longer. The official casting will definitely happen after Wind Chime finishes filming. Persuade Teacher Xiao Lin. They’re already tied together as lovers, so what is she still being lofty for? Don’t you think so? Anyone can act in this kind of script…”

Lu Tu was so grateful she nearly burst into snot and tears. Based on Lin Ke’s level, if she wanted to get a script of this quality, unless red rain fell from the sky, she would still have to struggle diligently for another two or three years.

An hour later, the nurse came to remove the needle. Lin Bingran slid off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. Her clothes were on the storage rack. The hospital environment was not like a hotel, and the bathroom’s soundproofing was ordinary.

Lin Ke was woken by the sound of water. Rubbing her eyes, she felt her way to the bathroom. Lin Bingran was bent over washing her face. Her pajamas outlined her perfect figure. The clothes were rather childish, with scattered floral and candy patterns on them, but unfortunately, Lin Bingran’s figure was too good. No matter how childish the clothes were, they still looked a little improper on her.

Lin Bingran raised her head and met Lin Ke’s gaze in the mirror. Water slid from the bridge of her nose to her chin. Her hair was damp, giving her a sexy, fragile weakness that made one want to pity her.

Lin Ke found the makeup remover and squeezed in beside Lin Bingran to remove her makeup and wash her face. Four hands grabbed around beneath the same faucet. Cleanser covered their hands, making it impossible to hold anything steady.

“Don’t squeeze,” Lin Bingran said softly, bumping Lin Ke with her waist.

Lin Ke’s body tilted from the bump. She thought, Who’s squeezing who? Then she squeezed back in to continue washing and rudely bumped Lin Bingran back with her butt.

The two squeezed back and forth in the narrow space.

Lin Bingran pretended to be annoyed. “Why won’t you let me have it?”

How could this person turn the blame around?

Lin Ke muttered, “It’s not like you’re letting me have it either.”

Lin Bingran laughed softly. Every time Lin Ke wanted to wash her face, Lin Bingran disturbed her.

Lin Ke gritted her teeth and suddenly grabbed Lin Bingran’s wrist. Holding that slender wrist, she squeezed it twice. Lin Ke did not use force, only lightly kneading it twice before tossing it aside to vent her anger.

Lin Ke’s face and ears were red as she cupped water onto her face and continued washing, trying to cool herself down.

“It’s just washing hands. Is it that serious?” Lin Bingran curved her lips, flicked Lin Ke’s pink earlobe with her finger, then went to pinch Lin Ke’s waist.

Lin Ke’s legs went soft. This person had way too many little tricks.

Lin Ke’s mind was a mess. Even washing her face could make her dizzy from teasing. It was far too embarrassing.

Both of them were omegas, and each was more delicate than the other. Washing their faces, doing skincare, applying lotion—it took them ages. They checked the ingredients of each other’s skincare products. Lu Tu had brought sample-sized items, while Guo Rongrong had packed full-sized bottles for Lin Bingran, complete and comprehensive. Lin Ke indirectly asked about the prices, then immediately abandoned her own things and started using Lin Bingran’s.

After fussing for a long time, they realized with surprise that time had passed so quickly.

Lin Ke pulled the shower curtain closed, separating Lin Bingran from the washroom. “I want to shower. Could you avoid me for a bit?”

Lin Bingran had already showered before Lin Ke woke up, so she consciously retreated and gave Lin Ke space.

Lin Ke rinsed herself quickly and searched for clothes to wear. She stretched a hand out from behind the shower curtain and groped around, grabbing two thin pieces of fabric. She pulled them back and looked carefully. The underwear was actually a skimpy three-point set?

“…”

Had Lu Tu grabbed the wrong thing? Lin Ke flipped the clothes over and over. They were indeed her pajamas: short-sleeved silk shirt and shorts in smoky pink, with the intimate clothing wrapped inside.

Lin Ke: “…”

It had to be Lu Tu’s doing! She would settle accounts with her when she got back!

Lin Ke gritted her teeth. She could not really go commando, so she made do and put it on. In the middle, she put it on wrong once, failed to distinguish the straps, and almost snapped the ties.

The steam in the bathroom could not disperse for the moment. Lin Ke turned on the faucet and used cold water to scrub the intimate clothes she had changed out of.

Before she had finished washing, the bathroom door was pulled open.

Lin Ke said, “I’m not done yet…”

Lin Bingran said, “You’ve been dawdling forever. I’m waiting for you to sleep.”

Lin Ke: “…”

Lin Ke’s scrubbing slowed. If she had known Lin Bingran would recover this quickly, she would not have come. Or she would have taken one look and left. Why had she stayed overnight?

Lin Bingran stepped forward and hugged Lin Ke from behind, rubbing her cheek against Lin Ke’s temple like a kitten acting spoiled.

The clothes in Lin Ke’s hands fell back into the sink. Water dripped from both her hands as she barely braced herself against the glass counter, tilting her neck back to kiss Lin Bingran.

Perhaps because the recent filming schedule had been dense and the pressure was great, Lin Bingran kissed heavily, but her breath did not last long. Lin Ke was the same. After kissing for a while, she pushed Lin Bingran away and panted.

Lin Bingran’s breathing was messy. She buried herself in Lin Ke’s shoulder and neck. Every breath was filled with green-plum pheromones. Unsatisfied, she said, “You smell so good.”

Lin Ke: “…”

Finger marks had been pinched into Lin Ke’s chin. Her eyes could hardly focus because of the tears. Her face and neck were hot and swollen. Lin Bingran held her and dragged her tongue heavily across the gland at the back of her neck.

“Wu.” Lin Ke’s eyes filled with hot tears.

Lin Bingran raised her eyes and rested her chin on Lin Ke’s shoulder from behind. In a flirtatious tone, she said, “Don’t show such a sexy expression, little omega.”

“You’re the one…” Lin Ke weakly clutched Lin Bingran’s front. Just now, when Lin Bingran opened her mouth, Lin Ke had almost thought she was going to be marked. In the instant her heartbeat lost rhythm, she had almost instinctively lifted her neck to accept the mark.

But Lin Bingran was also an omega. Embarrassed, Lin Ke hugged Lin Bingran tighter, glad she had not reached her heat yet…

Her pajama top was lifted. Lin Ke and Lin Bingran stood together, watching in the mirror as Lin Bingran teased her. Lin Ke was nearly embarrassed enough to cry.

Lin Bingran embraced her from behind. Her body temperature was higher than usual, and the heat passed through the fabric to Lin Ke. Lin Bingran was either muddled from fever or something else; she kept licking the side of Lin Ke’s face again and again.

Sickly Lin Bingran had the feeling of broken glass. Her long lashes were half-lowered, her fingers playing with Lin Ke’s red ties. Lin Ke’s face was completely red. This was a hospital, and they were in the bathroom of the ward. Outside were doctors and nurses passing back and forth, and from time to time, the sound of an ambulance rang out.

Lin Ke felt guilty and stimulated at the same time. Pressing tightly against the edges of her clothes could not stop Lin Bingran’s advance.

Compared with their heat period, when one look could set them on fire, this time Lin Ke could clearly and slowly feel the changes in her body. When her breathing became difficult to endure, she raised her hand to cover Lin Bingran’s eyes, and only then did the embarrassment in her heart ease a little.

Lin Bingran laughed softly and asked, “Are you ready?”

Lin Ke asked, “Wh-what?”

Lin Bingran bit her ear and said, “Do it here?”

Lin Ke’s breathing immediately became hurried. Nervous yet expectant, she stammered, “O-okay…”

Lin Bingran said, “Hurry.”

Lin Ke nervously waited for a while before finally understanding what Lin Bingran meant.

Lin Ke bit her lips. “…”

Lin Bingran had teased her until she was neither up nor down, and in the end, she still had to be the top?

Lin Bingran urged her, holding Lin Ke’s hand and squeezing it suggestively a few times. “Hurry… just do it directly. It’s fine…”

Lin Ke was directly angered into tears, especially aggrieved. “Ah, how can you be like this… you…”

Lin Bingran got what she wanted. She moaned softly, sitting propped on the sink counter and clamping her legs around Lin Ke’s waist. Without the slightest sincerity, she apologized, then comfortably narrowed her eyes. The weak feeling of illness made her look like willow catkins in the wind, and several times she nearly could not hold herself up and slipped down from the counter.

Lin Ke bit her gland, gnawing to vent.

Lin Bingran panted rapidly, the corners of her eyes lengthening and flushing red. Her voice was low. “…Sorry, but the moment you cried, I couldn’t hold back first…”

An hour later, Lin Ke lay back on the hospital bed.

After a while, the mattress dipped. Lin Bingran, carrying the scent of water, hugged her from behind and asked, “Angry?”

Lin Ke held her phone and was playing mahjong. She did not listen to Lin Bingran at all.

Zhu Mo’s voice came from the phone. “Keke, hurry and discard the tile I need. Let me win one hand!”

Lin Ke’s nose stung with grievance. Pressing the voice-recording button, she said, “Are you even human? You’re going for a pure suit and you still want me to feed you the winning tile.”

“Aiyo,” another unfamiliar voice came through, “Keke’s crying? Don’t cry, don’t cry. What tile do you need? I’ll discard it for you!”

Zhu Mo said, “Fine, I won’t win off your tile either.”

The four-person mahjong table began chattering, each saying they would not win off Lin Ke’s tiles. In the end, one after another, they self-drew and revealed their hands.

Everyone began sending stickers to mock Lin Ke.

Lin Ke: “…”

Lin Bingran pressed her lips tightly together, holding back laughter.

Lin Ke tossed her phone away and buried herself in the quilt.

Lin Bingran lifted a corner of the quilt, and her cool fingers slipped beneath Lin Ke’s clothes.

Lin Ke’s heart moved. She held the quilt and shouted, “I’m not doing it!”

Outside, Lu Tu and Guo Rongrong were in the middle of an intense team fight. Hearing the sound, Guo Rongrong abruptly stood up. “What’s going on?”

Lu Tu’s eyes spun, and she said, “Don’t panic. Maybe she’s having a nightmare.”

Inside the ward, Lin Bingran tightly covered Lin Ke’s mouth with her hand. The two were hidden under the quilt, smelling each other’s pheromones, their hearts pounding.

Lin Bingran exhaled and said in a low voice, “Don’t shout randomly.”

Lin Ke said, “Wu! Wuwu!”

Lin Bingran smiled. “We won’t do it. Don’t worry…”

Lin Bingran moved her mouth close to Lin Ke’s ear and whispered a few sentences.

Lin Ke’s whole body heated up. She pulled Lin Bingran’s hand away and asked suspiciously, “Really?”

Lin Bingran said, “Offer expires after this moment.”

Lin Ke climbed up, quickly got out of bed, slapped off the lights, and came back to nervously hug Lin Bingran, her face burning hot.

Under the quilt, rustling sounds went on for a long time. The crying was very thin and soft. Lin Bingran pressed over Lin Ke, biting her ear, and asked, “Do you want it heavier? Is the strength enough?”

Lin Ke whimpered with the quilt in her mouth, her whole body trembling nonstop. The scent of pheromones was very strong. Lin Bingran got out of bed and found a piece of clothing from the bag Guo Rongrong had brought, placing it on the bed.

Lin Ke only wanted to shamefully find a hole to crawl into.

Lin Bingran was moved. Dry-mouthed, she asked, “Do you want… to hold each other and rub together…”

That would be way too stimulating.

Lin Ke shook her head. Lin Bingran pressed against her and coaxed Lin Ke with the beautiful voice she only made at climax. “Really no? Want to?”

Lin Ke dug her nails tightly into Lin Bingran’s arm, feeling as if she was about to melt into a wisp of smoke and float away. But her mouth remained stubborn. “No! Don’t even think about it! You said you’d serve me. Don’t even think about it…”

Lin Bingran: “…Oh.”

Lin Bingran did it on purpose and suddenly used more force. Lin Ke trembled continuously, clenching her fist and hitting Lin Bingran while whimpering.

At eleven, Lin Ke went to the bathroom to shower. Lin Bingran balled up the clothes and tossed them onto the floor, wiped her hands with tissues, then tiredly leaned against the head of the bed to check messages.

Lin Ke’s phone by the head of the bed kept ringing. Zhu Mo sent messages asking if she was still playing mahjong. The screen was not locked, so Lin Bingran swiped to a link and tapped in.

“Keke, did you go cry? I’ll let you win this round.”

Lin Bingran pulled open a smile and typed: No need.

“No need? Were you crying just now?”

Lin Bingran: Boring.

Lin Bingran: If we’re playing, raise the stakes.

Zhu Mo: “…”

The other two: “…”

Zhu Mo sent a private message: Keke, have you gone crazy from anger? You’ve never won at mahjong!

Lin Bingran typed back directly: Multiply the stakes by ten.

Zhu Mo: Are you serious?

Lin Bingran: Mm.

The game restarted. Lin Bingran leaned against the head of the bed with one knee bent. In the dark, only a little light from the bathroom stretched to her feet.

Lin Ke opened the bathroom door and came out wiping her hair when she heard the sound of mahjong.

The cold system male voice said, “One bamboo!”

“One dot!”

Lin Ke’s movements paused, and she leaned over to look. “You’re playing?”

Lin Bingran’s brows were slightly furrowed, her finger tapping the screen, expression serious.

A serious woman really was beautiful, Lin Ke thought, love-struck. She lay down beside Lin Bingran, but the more she watched, the more wrong it seemed.

Why play that tile? She did not even want a ready hand?

Was Lin Bingran using some strategy she did not understand?

Lin Ke held back and did not make a sound. She quietly watched two rounds. Lin Bingran discarded one tile, and Zhu Mo called pong. Lin Bingran discarded another, and Zhu Mo called pong. In the end, Zhu Mo revealed a full pure-suit winning hand.

Lin Ke: “…”

Lin Bingran’s face reddened slightly, and she calmly tapped out a tile.

Lin Ke asked, “Are you still feverish?”

Lin Bingran said, “No. Sleep first. When you wake up, I’ll earn you a house.”

Lin Ke: “…”

Lin Bingran discarded one tile and dealt into all three players’ hands.

Lin Ke: “…”

Lin Bingran: “…”

The friends burst into laughter, all mocking Lin Ke.

“Can you stop playing?” Lin Ke asked softly.

Lin Bingran said, “Mm.”

After playing a while longer, Lin Ke could not hold back anymore and began directing Lin Bingran. “Play this one.”

Lin Ke said, “Don’t pong. You won’t be ready anymore!”

When it was the next player’s turn, Lin Bingran immediately drew the same tile, missing the chance to make a higher-scoring hand. Seizing the opportunity, she immediately complained to Lin Ke. “See!”

Lin Ke: “…”

When they finally finished playing, Lin Ke quickly said she was going to sleep and exited to settle the accounts. Seeing the messages Lin Bingran had sent Zhu Mo, she nearly vomited blood. Ten times the stakes—the money lost was multiplied by ten!

“It’s all your fault! Why were you trying to act cool!”

Lin Bingran held Lin Ke’s wrist and said softly, “Haven’t you never won before? I wanted to help you win one round back.”

Lin Ke instantly found it hard to stay angry. She muttered, “…But I’ve never lost as much as you did either.”

Lin Bingran nodded and coaxed her. “I’ll have someone write a drama. When the time comes, you can act as the Mahjong God.”

“Really?” Lin Ke asked happily.

Lin Bingran pressed down the curve of her lips and deliberately said, “Mm, we’ll see.”

Lin Ke hammered the quilt hard twice!
