After Transmigrating as an Alpha, I Paired with the Arrogant Movie Queen and Became a Viral Sensation [GL] - Chapter 13

Ji Mian secretly glanced at Xu Zhixia’s calf. The black stockings tightly covered her pale skin, showcasing full, defined muscle lines. Her calf was slender, but her skin looked firm.

Xu Zhixia wiggled her toes, gently rubbing her foot against Ji Mian’s calf.

Ji Mian tried her best to resist. She needed to find a way to make Xu Zhixia stop this endless harassment.

Ji Mian quickly moved her hand and grasped the agile foot.

Xu Zhixia felt her heart immediately accelerate, and her face flushed deep red. Did she want this so soon? I’m not ready yet!

She only heard Ji Mian say with a frown, “Hmm? Your foot seems to be size 39 (US size 8.5/9).”

Xu Zhixia: “…”

Although having large feet for her height was normal, Xu Zhixia felt incredibly uncomfortable with the way Ji Mian said it.

“What’s wrong with size 39?!” Xu Zhixia’s tone became agitated.

Ji Mian breathed a sigh of relief. She finally returned to normal.

Xu Zhixia immediately snatched back her foot, put on her flat shoes, and snapped, “Even if you begged me to help you put on my shoes, I wouldn’t let you touch them even an inch!”

Ji Mian: “…”

Xu Zhixia angrily turned her head away, feeling extremely wronged inside.

Although she initially only felt a friendly affection for Ji Mian, during filming, she increasingly felt that Ji Mian was somehow different, which almost made her completely fall for her.

If she had any positive feelings for Ji Mian, it was definitely a sense of security.

It had been a long time since anyone gave her a feeling of security, except for Ji Mian.

But was Ji Mian still mad about her dismantling the CP years ago? She still wouldn’t come close to me now. She used to be so proactive, but now she’s keeping her distance.

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and her eyes involuntarily welled up.

Ji Mian secretly looked at her, and seeing her eyes turn red, she was terrified. She inwardly muttered: Xu Zhixia is crying! Why is she crying? Thinking back to their earlier interactions, she felt genuinely bad. It must be my fault; I hurt her feelings!

The two didn’t speak the entire way, nor did they speak a word when they arrived in Dashan Village.

Director Gu was already waiting at the village entrance. He drove the two leads to a large guesthouse.

Mo Yuan, sitting in the passenger seat, vaguely felt that Ji Mian had been very silent since getting out of the car, and she hadn’t stood alongside Xu Zhixia once. Instead, one was ahead and one was behind, like strangers.

The other assistant also found it strange. Why is she sitting in the middle?

Ji Mian looked powerlessly out the window at the scenery. The view was nice, but she was in no mood to appreciate it.

After settling their luggage, the crew was already set up.

Xu Zhixia’s character, Ning Ziyan, developed mild depression after a conflict with her boss at work, so she came to the countryside to recuperate. There, she happened to meet Ji Mian’s character, Hu Shuang, who was doing landscape painting. Through a series of interactions, the two gradually developed feelings for each other.

Finally, Ning Ziyan has to return to the city. Hu Shuang misses her terribly and rushes there to live with her.

“Zhixia,” Director Gu called out, seeing Xu Zhixia staring blankly at a pot of orchids.

The scene started with Xu Zhixia’s character.

“Hmm?” Xu Zhixia responded after being called several times.

“What’s wrong?” Director Gu asked curiously.

Xu Zhixia sighed, her expression like an unhappy, confined maiden: “I’m so exhausted.”

Director Gu, who was well-versed in the ways of the entertainment industry, knew that beautiful stars often harbored secret crushes. He wondered: Is she secretly in love with some excellent, handsome Alpha?

No, that can’t be. Although Xu Zhixia had a bad temper, she had a strong background and unparalleled looks. Anyone who could even befriend her was blessed by God.

Director Gu was still deep in thought about which Alpha had rejected Xu Zhixia, when Xu Zhixia clapped her hands and smiled, “Alright, Director Gu, we can start filming now.”

“Great.”

Xu Zhixia filmed all day. Ji Mian had nothing to do, so in the evening, she went to the small convenience store in the village entrance to buy drinks.

At night, there were only a few scattered lights, and very few people walked on the road.

The temperature in the countryside was lower than in the city, so Ji Mian put on a slightly thicker jacket and a black mask before heading out.

Because her height and demeanor were too striking, the villagers who were chatting at the entrance kept staring at her.

A few middle-school girls wanted to talk to her but kept hiding, giggling childishly, seemingly very curious about this beautiful older sister from an unknown place.

Ji Mian felt shy and lowered her head even more.

She finally reached the convenience store, bought two cans of cola, and immediately left.

She bumped right into a woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Her curly, dark brown hair gently bounced with her breathing. Not only was her clothing style completely out of place, but her aura also stunned Ji Mian.

Ji Mian twitched her mouth. Isn’t this Xu Zhixia?!

Xu Zhixia gave a cold “Oh,” “It’s you. Long time no see.”

Long time no see… Ji Mian was surprised. We just saw each other this morning.

She gave a soft “Mhm.”

“Just you alone?”

“Or what?” Ji Mian seemed to sneer, laughing softly.

“Did you finish filming?”

Xu Zhixia was silent.

“Excuse me,” Xu Zhixia sighed softly, her tone still the same.

Ji Mian walked to the door of the convenience store, secretly glancing at what Xu Zhixia was buying.

A moment later, she came out carrying a bottle of white liquor (baijiu).

“White liquor is very strong. You should drink less,” Ji Mian frowned.

Xu Zhixia raised an eyebrow: “Who are you to me? Why do you need to control me?”

Ji Mian: “Are you going back to your room to drink?”

“I don’t want the assistant to see me. I’m going to a nearby small restaurant to drink,” Xu Zhixia said and started to walk away.

Ji Mian grabbed her wrist: “It’s dangerous for a girl alone!”

“What are you trying to do? I said you don’t need to control my affairs. Who are you to me?” Xu Zhixia made a clicking sound of annoyance, speaking in a rapid-fire manner.

Ji Mian paused, “If you get drunk, it won’t be good if people find out.”

Xu Zhixia raised an eyebrow: “Are you saying I have poor drinking manners?”

“No…”

“Then what is it? I’m fine even after two bottles of white liquor,” Xu Zhixia said through gritted teeth.

Ji Mian: “…”

The owner of the convenience store saw them arguing at the door, pulling at each other and saying things he didn’t understand. He assumed they were a moody young couple and laughed, “If you want to argue, go argue in the guesthouse. Stop making noise. Go to bed and make up.”

Xu Zhixia saw Ji Mian fall silent. Her heart suddenly took a massive hit. Heh, sure enough, you’re still clumsy with words—so clumsy that you can’t even express yourself through action.

Just as she was heartbroken and about to turn and leave, Ji Mian quickly snatched the liquor from Xu Zhixia’s hand.

Xu Zhixia: ??

“What are you doing?”

“If you’re going to drink, I’ll drink with you.”

Seeing Ji Mian’s determination, Xu Zhixia began to feel smug, “I refuse to drink with you.”

Ji Mian paused, realizing her mistake, and watched as Xu Zhixia snatched the white liquor back and walked away.

She had no choice but to follow.

She saw several middle-aged men whistling and shouting suggestive comments at Xu Zhixia. Xu Zhixia was not someone who would let that pass. She stopped and was about to start yelling at them.

The men, seeing the desirable beauty, grew bolder. They had lived in the village most of their lives and had never seen such a beautiful Omega. Curious, they all walked over.

“Hey, little girl, why don’t you come drink with us?”

A greasy man pointed at the liquor bottle in Xu Zhixia’s hand and chuckled.

Xu Zhixia’s face turned pale, and she said coldly, “Scram!”

The men mistook this for a beautiful woman’s shyness and burst out laughing. Xu Zhixia was about to kick them with her high heels when she felt a tight grip on her shoulder.

Ji Mian put an arm around her shoulder and said coldly, “If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police.”

The men saw the Alpha with an impressive aura effortlessly holding the beautiful woman. They assumed she was her wife, and hearing the word “police” scared them off immediately.

Xu Zhixia was startled, looking at Ji Mian’s angry face. Although she looked very upset, she was still very beautiful.

Moreover… she saved me.

“Why did you come?” Xu Zhixia pouted, but her lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

“A girl needs to be careful when she’s alone,” Ji Mian said gently. “I’m glad I followed you. Otherwise, I would be very upset if something happened to you.”

She would be very upset. Xu Zhixia blushed. What is she saying? So I do matter to her.

“I told you not to worry about me.”

“When something like this happens, I insist on worrying.”

What a domineering thing to say. Xu Zhixia’s heart burst open like fireworks, blooming across the sky.

“Just don’t drink this.” Ji Mian took the liquor away while Xu Zhixia was lost in thought.

“I’m taking you back.”

Xu Zhixia flinched. No, no! She absolutely could not be moved by such a small thing.

“Why should I let you take me back?”

Ji Mian: “…”

“Can’t I just go look around nearby? Filming all day is exhausting. Isn’t it nice to relax for a bit?”

Ji Mian said “Oh,” and directly grabbed Xu Zhixia, leading her down a small path.

Xu Zhixia initially wanted to pull her hand away, but she unconsciously gave up.

They came to a patch of vegetable gardens. The village lights were getting further away. Ji Mian turned on her phone’s flashlight to illuminate the rough, uneven path. The constant chirping of insects filled the air.

Xu Zhixia was getting nervous, “Why are you taking me here?”

“It will be summer soon, and you’ll see fireflies,” Ji Mian winked at her. Although it was too dark for her to see the wink.

“But it’s not summer yet.”

“So we’ll look at the stars.”

Ji Mian saw a large, clean rock. Fearing Xu Zhixia would find it dirty, she wiped it several times, sat down, and smiled, “Sit down.”

“You…” Xu Zhixia hesitated, then sat down.

A cool breeze blew, which normally would make Xu Zhixia feel cold.
