The little assistant could clearly see a suspicious flush of pink on Ji Mian’s ears. Just hearing Xu Zhixia’s tone made him realize that the relationship between these two was definitely not ordinary.
Xu Zhixia had never used such a tone, even when speaking to her parents.
Ji Mian quickly pushed her away, “Are you really okay or not?”
Xu Zhixia stood up easily, “I just slightly shouted out; look how nervous you got.”
Damn it, it was a trick! Ji Mian was furious.
After filming all day, they had only managed two scenes.
Director Gu had no choice but to extend the hours. By evening, Ji Mian’s performance state started to improve.
Xu Zhixia was leisurely eating her boxed lunch on a chair. For some reason, the boxed lunch in the countryside tasted much better than those in the city, and she unknowingly ate two big bowls.
Ji Mian, however, had no appetite for dinner. She spent the entire evening trying to figure out how to confess to Xu Zhixia. She regretted not answering directly when Xu Zhixia asked her the question in the fields; it would have saved so much trouble.
But even if she confessed, what if Xu Zhixia didn’t accept? That would be too awkward.
In the evening, they only filmed a scene of the two chatting in the courtyard. At this point, the two characters were not yet interested in each other, like ordinary friends.
“Scene one, Action.”
Xu Zhixia sat on a bamboo chair, smiling at Ji Mian, who played the aloof character Hu Shuang. Xu Zhixia deliberately used a sweet, delicate voice and said, “I like your paintings. They’re very good, just like you, and they give me a lot of feelings.” I really do have feelings, Ji Mian’s body started to tremble.
“Cut!” Director Gu leaned over and yelled suspiciously, “Zhixia, that line was wrong. Remember not to use that tone. You’re not at the couple stage yet. And Ji Mian, you’re not afraid of Ning Ziyan, why are you shaking?”
Xu Zhixia lowered her eyes, secretly watching Ji Mian’s reaction. She saw Ji Mian nervously swallowing, her eyes darting around. Heh, sure enough, she has feelings for me. Since you refused to answer me a few days ago, I’ll make you suffer to the end!
“Scene two, Action.”
“Wait a minute!!” Ji Mian suddenly stood up. “I need a drink of water!”
Director Gu: “…”
Ji Mian returned to her room. She was exhausted now. Although today’s scenes were easy to film, she was still tired. She couldn’t guess what Xu Zhixia was thinking at all.
Now, she blushed whenever she saw Xu Zhixia. Director Gu had pointed it out more than once. Moreover, she vaguely felt that Xu Zhixia was deliberately seducing her! How am I supposed to film this? Ji Mian was beside herself.
Should I just clarify things with her? Ji Mian shuddered. Forget it. She must be getting revenge on me. How could she agree so easily?
She still had messages from Fang Ruoya on her phone, mostly asking if it was Xu Zhixia and what was going on between them. Ji Mian couldn’t be bothered to reply.
Someone knocked on the door. When she opened it, it was Xu Zhixia.
A black choker had been added to her neck. It tightly wrapped around her fair, slender neck, giving her a mysterious aura—so mysterious that Ji Mian felt an urge to kiss it.
What kind of thought is that?! Ji Mian was disgusted with herself.
“May I come in?” Xu Zhixia asked with a light, airy voice and a full smile.
“Of course you can!” Ji Mian didn’t know what she wanted, but she thought facing her to resolve things was a good idea.
The moment she entered the room, Ji Mian heard a pleasant panting sound.
Panting??
“What’s wrong with you?” Xu Zhixia sat down unceremoniously on the edge of the bed, looked nervous, and smiled, “Can you come over? Let me get closer to you.”
Something fishy is going on! Ji Mian shook her head.
Xu Zhixia said pitifully, “Can’t I even get a hug?”
These words would easily make anyone faint in confusion. Ji Mian, in a moment of impulse, went over and hugged her. After just a second of contact, she felt something was very wrong.
Because a dense mint scent suddenly emanated—it was Xu Zhixia’s pheromones.
“Are you…?”
“My heat period has arrived,” Xu Zhixia said calmly, though the flush on her face hadn’t faded, as if she had been drinking.
She glanced at the white liquor on the table—the one she had bought earlier. So Ji Mian didn’t throw it away. She smirked.
“Heat period? You should take inhibitors. Why are you coming to me?”
“I don’t have inhibitors, and I don’t want to go buy them.”
Not buying inhibitors, could she possibly want…?
Ji Mian didn’t dare to think. “You should have said so earlier. I bought a few bottles of inhibitors, just right for you when you need them.”
Xu Zhixia: “…”
She grabbed Ji Mian. Ji Mian was startled. With a forceful pull, Xu Zhixia tugged her back and forth several times until Ji Mian was sitting on the bed.
Xu Zhixia stared at her with glazed eyes. She suddenly felt it was inappropriate for her to be sitting on top, so without allowing any refusal, she forcefully made Ji Mian sit below, while she confidently sat on Ji Mian’s lap.
Her slender arms wrapped around Ji Mian’s neck. She stroked Ji Mian’s cheek and smiled, “Mian Mian, I don’t want inhibitors.”
“Then what do you want?” Ji Mian didn’t even dare to swallow now.
Xu Zhixia chuckled, leaning close to her ear, “What else can be used besides inhibitors? I…” She suddenly kissed Ji Mian heavily on the side of her face: “I want you.”
Ji Mian couldn’t imagine it. In other words, she had lost all imagination. Xu Zhixia was in heat and needed an Alpha’s mark.
“You…” you… For some reason, she felt a surge of excitement.
“Are you asking if I want a temporary mark or a permanent mark?” Xu Zhixia frowned beautifully, “I only want you. Do whatever you please.”
“Are you…”
Ji Mian looked at her, enduring Xu Zhixia’s soft body, her hands instinctively stroking Xu Zhixia’s back.
“I think you should really take some inhibitors.”
Xu Zhixia paused, a blank look on her face.
“What do you mean by that?!” Xu Zhixia quickly moved away from her, “Don’t you like me?”
“I do like you!” Ji Mian blurted out her true feelings when she saw Xu Zhixia ask her in disbelief.
“But we shouldn’t be together right now.”
Xu Zhixia, who had initially been sad and guessing the worst, suddenly felt happy upon hearing the second part of the sentence.
She hooked her finger, returned to Ji Mian’s side, leaned on her, and smiled, “So you admit you like me? In that case, let’s not go public with our relationship yet. I feel awful right now. I need your mark.”
Ji Mian was startled. What a difficult temptress! So hard to handle!!
She gripped Xu Zhixia’s chin and kissed her heavily on her moist lips, but she messed up her first kiss. Their teeth clashed directly, making a “dang” sound.
Xu Zhixia smiled ruefully, “Darling, let me handle this.”
She gently rubbed her lips against Ji Mian’s, “Be good, open your teeth and let me in.”
Ji Mian had a slight headache. What did I do last night?
She saw that the bedside was neatly arranged, nothing like the wild mess from last night. So it was just a dream!
Ji Mian felt a little disappointed. She opened the curtains to bright sunshine.
It seemed to be Xu Zhixia’s solo scene again. Mo Yuan hadn’t woken her up.
She went downstairs for a meal, and several guests kept staring at her.
Ji Mian lowered her head awkwardly, only to see one guest smile and approach her, saying, “Long time no see, Mian Mian.”
Ji Mian was startled. The person who called her by her nickname was a female Beta. Her familiar face made Ji Mian a bit dazed. It was Yu Xiaohua, a trainee who didn’t debut. Now, besides singing, she was shooting short web dramas and the like.
Their relationship during the competition was excellent, and Ji Mian felt very regretful that her good friend didn’t debut successfully.
“Hua Hua!” Ji Mian was surprised and delighted.
“Are you filming here?”
Yu Xiaohua had a sweet appearance, with small, cute canine teeth. She smiled, “Yes, I am.”
They talked a lot, so much so that when Xu Zhixia returned from filming, she saw the two of them chatting and laughing as if no one else was around.
Xu Zhixia clicked her tongue inwardly and went upstairs expressionlessly.
“I heard you’re filming with Xu Zhixia. I never thought you two would appear together again,” Yu Xiaohua sighed regretfully.
Ji Mian felt no regret. At least now she had different feelings for Xu Zhixia.
“I think it’s great.”
Yu Xiaohua looked at her strangely and pondered for a long time.
Arriving at the filming location, Ji Mian saw Xu Zhixia applying lipstick with a hint of annoyance. This was something the makeup artist should do, but Xu Zhixia insisted on doing it herself.
The red lips were very tempting, truly tempting. Ji Mian swallowed, thinking of the dream she had last night. It was heavenly enjoyment.
“Who were you talking to so happily?” Xu Zhixia asked leisurely, her eyes constantly darting to Ji Mian’s expression, afraid of missing any detail.
“Who are you referring to?” Ji Mian didn’t understand her meaning.
“The one you were talking to on the first floor!” Xu Zhixia thought she was pretending not to understand, and her tone became elevated. In reality, she was insecure. She rarely saw Ji Mian chatting so happily with anyone, and that girl was a Beta. Besides Alphas, she didn’t allow anyone of any gender to get close to Ji Mian. Not even an Alpha!
“Oh, that was Yu Xiaohua, a girl from the talent show. You don’t recognize her?” Ji Mian realized and teased her with a smile, but she also knew that someone as arrogant as Xu Zhixia couldn’t possibly remember all 101 girls. Moreover, Yu Xiaohua wasn’t a girl favored by the public. After so many years, it was normal not to recognize her.
“Oh, really?” Xu Zhixia was surprised, but a bit ashamed. She had only heard the name but couldn’t recall the person. Pouting, she said, “You two seem to have a good relationship.”
Ji Mian stretched her body, “It’s alright.”
“Are you free?” Ji Mian asked Xu Zhixia.
“Hmm?” Xu Zhixia was a bit surprised.
“I’d like to treat you to a meal,” Ji Mian said seriously.
Xu Zhixia nearly spat out a mouthful of water, both surprised and delighted. “Where can we eat here? Aren’t all the restaurants the same? The boxed lunches are all the same.”
Ji Mian laughed heartily, “I meant we should probably finish that bottle of white liquor.”
“You don’t like drinking, do you?” Xu Zhixia pouted.
“One sip won’t hurt,” Ji Mian just wanted the alcohol to bolster her courage. She planned to say everything tonight. She didn’t want to prolong the situation and risk dreaming of last night’s scene again—that would drive her crazy!
