After Transmigrating as an Alpha, I Paired with the Arrogant Movie Queen and Became a Viral Sensation [GL] - Chapter 22

Xu Zhixia’s eyes lit up, thinking Ji Mian was about to do something naughty to her. She happily asked, “What is it?”

Ji Mian released pheromones. She could finally control her pheromones at will and was proudly smiling at Xu Zhixia.

Xu Zhixia’s expression was like the “bitter” emoji on WeChat.

Hmm… Although the scent was lovely, Xu Zhixia still let out a few disappointed, wronged cries.

“I’m so grateful to you.” (Said sarcastically).

Hearing the stiff tone, Ji Mian thought she misheard. Didn’t Xu Zhixia like the fresh orange scent?

Ji Mian leaned in and kissed Xu Zhixia’s lips. Compared to Xu Zhixia’s wild intensity, her touch was like a gentle spring breeze, devoid of any possessiveness. Instead, she felt the other person’s affection growing more and more.

This time, it was Xu Zhixia’s turn to blush.

“Mian Mian is so good at kissing?” Xu Zhixia was dazed by the kiss.

Ji Mian replied with an “Oh,” “It’s because I’m so smart.”

Hearing her sincerely compliment herself, Xu Zhixia smiled shyly and lay back on the bed.

She said with dreamy eyes, “Then I have a lot to look forward to.”

Ji Mian didn’t hesitate, going straight in to gently bite Xu Zhixia’s lower lip, then upward for a deeper kiss.

She asked, “Zhixia, do you like it when I do this?”

Xu Zhixia let out a soft sound, “I’ll always like it.”

Ten minutes later, Ji Mian managed to stop.

It was only because Xu Zhixia hadn’t eaten dinner, so Ji Mian insisted she eat.

Xu Zhixia had no choice. She wanted to order takeout, but Ji Mian said coldly from the side, “No more barbecue or that kind of stuff. It’s bad for your health.”

Xu Zhixia quietly said “Oh,” and obediently ordered fried noodles.

She asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Of course. I ate liquor-filled chocolates.”

Xu Zhixia nodded: “No wonder I tasted something sweet on your lips.”

Ji Mian: “…”

“Chocolate isn’t filling. How can you eat it as a main meal? Forget it, I’ll order for you. You can’t refuse.” Xu Zhixia happily placed the order.

The atmosphere from before was completely gone, so they started watching TV.

Xu Zhixia deliberately put on their old group reality show.

The name was The Eighteen-Year-Old Us.

Inside, seven girls of similar age went hiking, traveling, singing, and dancing together, shouting their dreams to the sea.

At the time, Xu Zhixia shouted that she wanted to be a world-class actress.

Ji Mian watched from the side, silently offering a deep blessing.

Xu Zhixia said, “Did you look at the bullet comments before?”

“Hmm?” Ji Mian looked confused.

Xu Zhixia continued on her own: “The comments were all about the Xia Ji CP. They kept saying Xia Ji should get married quickly, or they’d be dogs. I thought it was so funny back then. I never imagined I would fall in love with you.”

Ji Mian tightly hugged her slender shoulder, “I thought the same thing. Who would get together with a Tyrannosaurus Rex?”

“Wait,” the tender atmosphere that had been building instantly shattered. Xu Zhixia stared at her suspiciously: “Tyrannosaurus Rex? What does Tyrannosaurus Rex mean?”

Ji Mian was startled. That was Fang Ruoya’s nickname for Xu Zhixia behind her back. She hadn’t meant to say it out loud.

“Well…” Ji Mian didn’t know how to explain.

Xu Zhixia shouted, “You smelly Ji Mian! How dare you say that about me?!”

Ji Mian wanted to cry. It’s all Fang Ruoya’s fault!

Ji Mian coaxed her for a long time, but Xu Zhixia still wouldn’t speak to her until Ji Mian used her advanced techniques to make Xu Zhixia finally change her attitude slightly.

It wasn’t until the takeout arrived that Xu Zhixia happily started eating with her.

“Do you know you were wrong?!” Xu Zhixia suddenly asked.

Ji Mian replied weakly with an “Oh.” Even if I’m not wrong, I’m wrong. Oh wait, it should be Fang Ruoya’s fault!!

After eating, it was already one o’clock in the morning.

Ji Mian sighed. Time flew quickly.

“I’m going back now,” Ji Mian stood up.

But Xu Zhixia grabbed her forearm. The other woman said coldly, “Are you that eager to leave?”

“I’m going to sleep.”

“Don’t you want to sleep with your girlfriend?” Xu Zhixia chuckled: “Your girlfriend can even massage your back, listen to your scary stories, and even give you extreme pleasure.”

Ji Mian: “…”

“I think I should still go back,” Ji Mian sighed: “What if your assistant comes over to see you? We might be discovered.”

Xu Zhixia raised an eyebrow: “How do you know she hasn’t already found out?”

Ji Mian was surprised: “Did you tell her?”

Xu Zhixia smiled: “No, but it’s hard to hide your little thoughts from people.”

Ji Mian felt a jolt. Although she didn’t want to leave Xu Zhixia, she had to prioritize the bigger picture.

Going to the other person’s room once or twice without being caught was one thing, but they might not be so lucky in the future.

Now that I’m in Xu Zhixia’s room, I don’t have to worry about being photographed.

Ji Mian immediately jumped back next to Xu Zhixia and whispered close to her ear, “Quick, get into bed, and let me properly taste what ‘extreme pleasure’ is like.”

Xu Zhixia wrapped her arms around Ji Mian’s neck and lightly bit her ear: “Don’t worry, you can taste it right now, hahahaha!”

The heat of summer was exceptionally stifling.

It was now the night of the final results for the fifth season of the idol survival show.

Ji Mian looked at Weibo. The list of the seven girls flashed across the screen. They were smiling, their eyes full of light and hope, exactly like her former self.

Ji Mian finished filming her scenes for the drama, but Xu Zhixia still had a few days left.

In the evening, Ji Mian left the filming location.

Xu Zhixia wandered around wearing sunglasses. Ji Mian quickly kissed her cheek when no one was looking and smiled, “I’ll come find you after you finish filming.”

Xu Zhixia’s heart pounded, and she nodded vigorously.

Ji Mian went to Dream Chaser Entertainment.

Xia Hui said she had something important to discuss.

Since it was nighttime, there were few people inside, but over a dozen trainees were still stretching and dancing in the practice room.

None of the company’s trainees debuted in this season’s competition; only one made it to the top ten.

Boss Zhang’s expression was unnatural, but when he saw Ji Mian, it immediately switched to a smile.

“Congratulations on wrapping up your scenes,” Xia Hui gently hugged her.

Ji Mian’s current exposure was even stronger than before. For two months of filming, her name was on the hot search for one month.

Even if Ji Mian hadn’t wanted to trend with Xu Zhixia, both companies had pushed the narrative to achieve publicity goals.

As a result, many endorsement deals, scripts, and variety shows were being offered.

“We’ve accepted two variety shows for you and Xu Zhixia. One is an interview program, where you’ll just be guest performers. The other is a group reality show,” Xia Hui said.

“A group show?” Ji Mian was very surprised.

Xia Hui nodded. “The group show includes singing and dancing stages, which will be very helpful to you. It’s very likely to attract many fans, and… your and Xu Zhixia’s CP will experience a second boom.”

Ji Mian complained inwardly, You only care about the CP popularity between me and Zhixia!!

Boss Zhang said, “Director Gu praised you a lot this time. I hope you maintain your acting skills. I’ve also accepted many short dramas and variety shows for you. The payment will be sent to you when it’s due. You…”

“Decline all of them,” Ji Mian said calmly.

Boss Zhang frowned: “What do you mean? Do you not want exposure and just want to keep dancing? We don’t have a stage here that can let you keep dancing. What kind of dream is that?! You’re an adult. Making money is the most important thing. Don’t you know your current worth is much higher than before? Not making money—what kind of crazy thought is that?!”

Ji Mian replied coldly, “Who says I have to keep dancing?! Can’t I just do what I love?!”

“I’m your boss! You should listen to me!!”

“Do you think just because you’re the boss, you can arbitrarily manipulate an artist’s choices?! You’re heartless. Most of our money is funneled into your company’s hands. Some less famous trainees don’t even earn enough to fill your gaps.”

Boss Zhang was furious: “What do you mean?!”

“Stop it! Both of you!” Xia Hui shouted.

“Ji Mian, don’t say anything more,” Xia Hui said seriously to Boss Zhang: “Ji Mian doesn’t have to dance; she can choose to sing. Singing is very profitable. Selling a song’s copyright can earn hundreds of thousands.”

Boss Zhang, who had been in the entertainment industry for years, knew that singers could be even more profitable than actors, but he scoffed: “With her singing ability, how can she possibly sing? And the most important thing for a singer is signature songs. She doesn’t even have one single, and her fans have mostly left. Why talk about singing?!”

Ji Mian crossed her arms: “In that case, if my singing becomes successful, you have to grant me some authority. And if I want to open my own studio, you have to arrange it without batting an eye!”

Boss Zhang sneered: “If you can bring the company millions in revenue share, I’ll listen to you, but I’m looking forward to watching you fail!!”

Ji Mian hid her smile. There will be no failure. Just compliments spinning endlessly in your ears!!
