After Transmigrating as an Alpha, I Paired with the Arrogant Movie Queen and Became a Viral Sensation [GL] - Chapter 21

Xu Zhixia had just returned from a magazine shoot. Taking off her sunglasses, she looked at Ji Mian, who was seriously reading the script on set, and a smile unexpectedly bloomed in her heart.

She crept up behind Ji Mian, but Ji Mian still didn’t notice her.

She covered Ji Mian’s eyes and asked with a soft laugh, “Guess who I am?”

Ji Mian was startled at first, but hearing the familiar and coveted voice, she laughed: “I knew it was you!”

Xu Zhixia pouted: “That’s no fun. You should have guessed a little more.” Her tone held a hint of disappointment, yet she couldn’t help but smile.

Xu Zhixia pulled up a chair and sat beside Ji Mian, suddenly meeting Director Gu’s eyes across the way. Director Gu gave them a strange, knowing look.

Han Shu followed behind him.

Han Shu frowned, seeing the two of them so close, and pondered for a moment.

Xu Zhixia stood up and said to her, “You didn’t come looking for me again, did you?”

Han Shu smiled slightly: “Let’s find a place to chat.”

“What is it?” Xu Zhixia was led by her to a secluded area in the garden.

“The drama should be finishing soon, right?” Han Shu asked.

“You’re a manager, don’t you know?” Xu Zhixia complained.

“We’ve arranged two variety shows for you and Ji Mian. One is an entertainment interview show—the most nationally known large-scale interview program in the country, the one you’ve been on before, Happy Talk Show.”

Xu Zhixia said “Oh,” “And the other one?”

“The agency from your talent show wants to collaborate with us, so we are producing the second season of TheAbo girl group’s reality show.”

At this, the previously indifferent Xu Zhixia let out a surprised gasp.

“The group disbanded. Why a reality show?!” Xu Zhixia said, dissatisfied.

“It’s primarily to increase Ji Mian’s fanbase, because it involves a lot of performances. You know that few domestic variety shows feature idol dancing, and most people don’t watch them. But with a group show, your fans will watch, and the popularity will definitely be high. Plus, playing games, eating meals, and reminiscing about old times—isn’t that good?” Han Shu smiled.

Reminisce my head! Xu Zhixia cursed inwardly.

But Han Shu was right. This would cause Ji Mian’s fanbase to shoot up. For the sake of Mian Mian, she would have to put up with it.

“When will we film that movie?”

“So eager?” Han Shu was a little surprised. “Once you finish filming this drama and participate in the variety show with Ji Mian, you can join the movie production.”

“Can some of the scenes be changed?” Xu Zhixia asked weakly, regretting her impulsive acceptance.

“What do you want to change?” Han Shu laughed, “I’m not sure about that. It depends on the director and screenwriter’s arrangement. Besides, you’re a major Movie Queen now, so they will listen to you more or less.”

“But… I didn’t just come here to tell you this. It’s also your father’s wish. He asked me to check on your relationship with Ji Mian.” Han Shu made a clicking sound of annoyance, “I see that you two seem to be much better friends than before.”

“That’s not true,” Xu Zhixia’s face flushed.

“Zhixia, your father doesn’t want you to marry someone in the entertainment industry. I hope you understand. It’s fine to have fun, but don’t take it seriously,” Han Shu said, dropping a remark that Xu Zhixia absolutely hated.

“My dear manager, Miss Han Shu, please go back and tell my father. No one has the right to interfere with my love life. I love who I love, and no one can control it!” Xu Zhixia turned away, saying coldly.

Han Shu was stunned. So she really has developed deep feelings for Ji Mian.

After Xu Zhixia was called away by her manager, Ji Mian received a reply from He Yue.

He said he was very satisfied with her and hoped to collaborate when the opportunity arose.

Ji Mian was thrilled. She saw Xu Zhixia walk over looking sullen.

Ji Mian asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Zhixia didn’t tell Ji Mian the content of the conversation. She just smiled: “Are you worried about me?”

Ji Mian felt baffled: “How can I not worry about you!”

Xu Zhixia remained silent. Ji Mian had no choice but to hold her hand to give her warmth, but to avoid being seen, she quickly let go after a moment.

Xu Zhixia sighed inwardly. She felt very unsure now.

She had argued countless times with her father about entering the entertainment industry.

Her father finally relented on her birthday but made her promise that she could socialize with people in the industry but absolutely couldn’t marry one.

Xu Zhixia didn’t like anyone at the time and was confident she would stay single, but meeting Ji Mian shattered her confidence. Her current renewed confidence was solely focused on being with Ji Mian forever. Even her father couldn’t stop her and Ji Mian.

During the night filming, it was time for the two characters’ bed scene.

It wasn’t a full bed scene, just a subtly intimate kiss scene on the bed.

But Xu Zhixia actually discussed with Director Gu the need to add more kissing.

Ji Mian: “…”

Director Gu found her argument reasonable, but was curious. Xu Zhixia had been so awkward and hesitant to kiss Ji Mian at first, but now she seemed insatiable.

He suddenly remembered the way the two interacted previously, and a spark of insight hit him, though he quickly dismissed it.

This time, Ji Mian was lying on the bed, and Xu Zhixia was on top of her, pinning her hands and passionately kissing her.

Even though they had already experienced this action privately.

Ji Mian’s heart was still pounding. After all, so many people were watching! How embarrassing, how utterly embarrassing!!

Xu Zhixia rolled up her suit sleeves. Her outfit made her look like an elite professional. Well, she is the cold, authoritative, elite goddess.

Xu Zhixia removed her gold-framed glasses and gave a cold glance.

Suddenly, she pushed Ji Mian down, leaped onto her, and firmly pinned her arms.

The few young assistants watching couldn’t help but suppress their snickers.

Ji Mian, hearing the noise, blushed and swallowed.

“What are you doing?”

Xu Zhixia smiled: “What do you think? You wouldn’t not know, would you?”

As she spoke, she touched Ji Mian’s chin. The skin was smooth—a wonderful feeling.

Ji Mian coughed, “I… I’m going to get a glass of water.”

“No! I’ll get it for you after we’re done here.”

“What are we going to do later?”

“I want to do you.”

“Cut!” Director Gu’s eyes widened. “Zhixia, wrong line.”

Xu Zhixia jumped off the bed. She had indeed said the wrong line, but she certainly intended to do Ji Mian.

Ji Mian’s face turned crimson. Director Gu kindly comforted Ji Mian: “It’s okay, Zhixia is too charming. Falling for her is inevitable.”

Ji Mian: “…”

“Take two.”

“I want to kiss you.”

Ji Mian was startled: “Don’t… don’t…”

“Why? We’re a couple now!” Xu Zhixia frowned. She suddenly thought of how Ji Mian had been awkward and too shy to confess before, and it made her grit her teeth in frustration.

“We just started…”

“I don’t care!” Xu Zhixia leaned down and kissed her forcefully, with aggression and possessiveness.

Mo Yuan watched in a daze beside the monitor. He couldn’t help but say to Director Gu, “Director Gu, is this their first kiss? Isn’t it too intense?”

Director Gu was also shocked. “Ahem, cut!”

Xu Zhixia got off her ruthlessly. Ji Mian was almost breathless from the intensity of the kiss.

Mo Yuan rushed over to help, “Are you okay?”

The flush on Ji Mian’s face had not faded; instead, it grew deeper.

This night’s kissing scene was filmed over ten times.

Xu Zhixia remained unsatisfied and kept demanding more.

Ji Mian had to secretly plead with her, “Can you stop deliberately forcing retakes? I’m exhausted, and I just want to finish filming and go to sleep.”

“Oh? Are you begging me?” Xu Zhixia snickered, pretending to be aloof.

Ji Mian: “…”

“What do you want?”

“Why are you so impatient? I haven’t kissed you enough. Don’t you want to kiss me?” Xu Zhixia took a sip of water.

“There are too many people around. I get shy.”

“Alright then. Just make it up to me when we get back.”

Ji Mian sighed inwardly. That’s a good compromise.

Finally, the kissing scene was finished.

Director Gu praised Ji Mian: “Ji Mian, your reactions are really good, just like it’s really happening.”

Ji Mian laughed awkwardly: “That’s because Director Gu is a good teacher.”

Director Gu also laughed awkwardly: “I didn’t teach you how to kiss.”

Ji Mian: “…”

Returning to the hotel, Ji Mian fulfilled her promise.

Xu Zhixia’s door was open. After closing the door, Xu Zhixia said, “Lock the door securely.”

Ji Mian followed her instructions and went over to see what Xu Zhixia was doing.

Only a few lamps were lit, leaving the entire room dim.

Xu Zhixia was wearing a black silk nightgown, exposing her fair shoulders, arms, and calves. She lay quietly on the bed in a deliberately seductive pose, beckoning the approaching Ji Mian.

Ji Mian: “…”

Xu Zhixia played with the strap of her camisole and asked, “Am I beautiful?”

Ji Mian: “…”

Xu Zhixia couldn’t help but throw a pillow at her: “What kind of expression is that?! I finally managed to strike the most alluring pose for you, and you’re so unimpressed?”

Ji Mian sighed, sat next to her, and smiled, “If you had changed into that kind of clothing, I might be more interested.”

“What kind of clothing?” Xu Zhixia asked curiously.

“The ones from the videos you often watch.”

Xu Zhixia: “…”

“Fine, fine. But now, I just want you to hug me.” With that, she put her arms around Ji Mian and leaned softly into her embrace.

Ji Mian gently stroked her hair and smiled, “I’ll give you something sweet later.”

Author’s Note:

Ji Mian’s first kiss is gone, and her on-screen first kiss was also stolen.
