After Transmigrating as an Alpha, I Paired with the Arrogant Movie Queen and Became a Viral Sensation [GL] - Chapter 14

But now, her body felt incredibly hot, and her face was flushed. Xu Zhixia moved slightly closer to Ji Mian, resting her head lightly on Ji Mian’s shoulder.

Walking in the rural fields at night was a deeply romantic experience, especially when looking at the stars.

Ji Mian lifted her head, looking at the moon, and remembered the time she wished upon the moon to become a singer—it was a rush of memories.

“What do you want to say to me?” Xu Zhixia asked with bright eyes and a slight pout.

“Don’t you think it’s beautiful here? It’s better than drinking alcohol in your room, right?” Ji Mian said, holding a smile.

Xu Zhixia gave a dismissive “Oh,” trying to act unconcerned. Illuminated by the moonlight, the contour of Ji Mian’s side profile was sharply visible.

She used to pay no attention to this person’s looks, but now she found it captivating enough to make her heart flutter.

Following Ji Mian’s gaze, she looked up at the sky, which was completely filled with dense, tiny stars—red, blue, and purple—interwoven to form constellations.

And that moon! She suddenly felt that the moon in the countryside was extraordinarily bright; it wasn’t an illusion.

No one had ever accompanied her to look at the stars.

Even the former Ji Mian only wanted to talk more with her, especially when paparazzi were around. But this Ji Mian was completely different; she always managed to surprise her.

“Is it very beautiful?”

“It’s… very beautiful.”

She might usually give an arrogant rebuttal, but facing Ji Mian’s smile, she couldn’t bring herself to be insincere.

“It’s getting late. If you drink, you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”

Xu Zhixia: “…” Did she bring me here just to change the subject? So I was overthinking it.

“Ji Mian…”

“Hmm?”

“Do you like me?”

Ji Mian was stunned. She absolutely did not expect Xu Zhixia to say something like that, or specifically, Do you like me?

“What are you talking about?” Her heart was pounding. If she had to say “like,” she could only say she had an attraction, but she didn’t understand why Xu Zhixia had so resolutely dismantled the CP before. Why was she now asking Do you like me? with flirtatious eyes?

Although acting opposite her always resulted in endless blushing and a racing heart, she couldn’t say she liked her in the AO sense. She just thought she was very pretty and her type.

“What are you talking about? You shouldn’t stay immersed in your character all the time; that’s not good for you,” Ji Mian chuckled awkwardly.

“Immersed in character?” Xu Zhixia murmured blankly.

A silence fell between them.

They didn’t speak a single word even on the way back.

Xu Zhixia’s high heels were very difficult to walk in. Ji Mian watched her stubbornly stumbling behind, wanting to step forward and help her, but was ruthlessly shaken off, and Xu Zhixia didn’t forget to give her a cold stare.

Xu Zhixia returned to her room, and Han Shu called her.

“That’s wonderful! I’ve secured a movie for you! Guess who the male lead is? It’s Feng Xiang! The Golden Deer Movie King! He’s a few years older than you and has the means to help boost your public image.” There was silence on the line. Han Shu was surprised, “What’s wrong, Zhixia?”

Xu Zhixia said, “Do you have the movie details now? Send them to me.”

The movie was about a couple in love, following them from their youth in college to their thirties, through breakups and reunions. It included bed scenes and the like.

Xu Zhixia bit her lip, “I’m taking this role.”

“That’s great, darling!” Han Shu laughed. Previously, Xu Zhixia was extremely reluctant to accept kissing scenes with male Alphas; she even found kissing female Alphas disgusting, let alone a bed scene. Han Shu was genuinely surprised that she agreed so quickly now.

“Have you shown the variety show contract to Ji Mian yet?”

Han Shu was startled by the coldness of the tone.

“Not yet.”

“Then don’t bother. I don’t want to participate in any variety show with her!”

“Did you two…” Han Shu couldn’t help but ask, “Did you have some kind of dispute?”

“No, we’re perfectly fine! Would you willingly do something sweet and enviable with someone you have no feelings for? I can’t accept that, and I don’t want to accept it!” Xu Zhixia bit her lip and snapped.

Han Shu was silent for a while. Compared to the artistic film meant only to improve her public image, she was more excited about the drama they were currently filming. Based on popularity and the CP, what drama could possibly surpass this one? And even if the drama flopped, the two leads’ popularity would not. Going on a variety show would be a great way to earn both money and attention. How could she simply throw away such a good opportunity?

“I’ll discuss this with Ji Mian’s manager,” Han Shu said.

Xu Zhixia hung up the phone, sighed deeply, and went to sleep.

Ji Mian quietly looked at the white liquor she had retrieved last night. For some reason, she was in a very bad mood and only managed to fall asleep at three o’clock. Later, she heard that Xu Zhixia was feeling unwell, so she was asked to film her solo scenes first.

Tired… I’m so tired.

After filming a few scenes, Mo Yuan helped her organize her clothes. Mo Yuan was well-informed and mentioned, seemingly casually, that Xu Zhixia’s next project was a movie with Feng Xiang, the actor who had just won the Golden Deer Movie King award.

Feng Xiang?

Ji Mian mused. The name sounded familiar, not in terms of fame, but his private life.

She thought Fang Ruoya had mentioned him. Fang Ruoya once played a small background role in his movie, appearing for less than five minutes, but she was lucky enough to meet him once.

After filming, Fang Ruoya immediately started complaining about how lustful Feng Xiang was, always staring at young, beautiful female idols.

Being in the entertainment industry, she naturally knew more real details than outsiders. She also heard that Feng Xiang had previously drugged delicate and beautiful Omegas and slept with them. Even seasoned Movie Queens could be easily confused by his pheromones.

Moreover, this person had a formidable background, and combined with his good looks and education, few people managed to escape his grasp.

Ji Mian shuddered. Xu Zhixia!!

Author’s Note:

Ji Mian!! How can you be so straight? Xia Xia is about to confess to you, and you still don’t understand!
