After Transmigrating as an Alpha, I Paired with the Arrogant Movie Queen and Became a Viral Sensation [GL] - Chapter 26
Xu Zhixia was at home preparing her luggage when the doorbell rang. She thought it was her little assistant.
She opened the door to find Ji Mian.
“Mian Mian, why are you here? Didn’t you say you were busy?” Xu Zhixia was thrilled to see Ji Mian and immediately hugged her neck.
Ji Mian stroked her thin shoulders and laughed, “You’re joining the crew tomorrow, so I came to see you off.”
Xu Zhixia pulled her inside, feeling incredibly sweet: “Oh, I’m not going off to military service. You’ll be able to see me anyway.”
“Xia Xia…” Ji Mian’s expression turned serious.
“What is it?”
“I want to join the crew with you.”
Xu Zhixia was surprised: “Join the crew with me? Are you not working?!”
Ji Mian rushed to hug her tightly: “You’re just shooting a movie. The time commitment isn’t as long as a drama. I’ll just stay in your hotel room.” The real reason is to spy on what Feng Xiang might try to do to his girlfriend!!
Xu Zhixia sat down with her: “Mian Mian, I think you should forget it.”
“Why? Don’t you want to be with me?” This sudden thought felt vaguely familiar.
“Of course not! I wish I could hold you in my palm every day.” Xu Zhixia shook her head: “It’s just that you’re very popular now because of your song, and you have many endorsements. You should earn more money. You shouldn’t vanish and come to me, and it wouldn’t be good if the paparazzi caught us.”
This time, Xu Zhixia was the more rational one.
Ji Mian had also thought about this and had already turned down some unnecessary offers just to stay by Xu Zhixia’s side.
“No!” Ji Mian said firmly, “I must be with you! Not even one less day is acceptable!”
Xu Zhixia’s eyes brightened. She leaned into Ji Mian’s embrace and said flirtatiously, “What’s gotten into you lately? You keep saying sweet things. Before, you hated it when I said cheesy things.” Deep down, she knew it was because Ji Mian was worried about Feng Xiang doing something inappropriate to her, which ultimately made her feel incredibly cherished.
As soon as Xu Zhixia’s new movie official blog was launched, many of her fans in the comments sneered at the male lead. After all, netizens had heard about Feng Xiang’s private life.
Some people had even seen Feng Xiang passionately kissing a seductive woman in large bars, completely ignoring his image.
He had changed five girlfriends in just half a year, drawing much ridicule and malice.
[Zhixia’s Little Fan: Honestly, even though Feng Xiang can act, his character seems terrible. Xia Xia is being wronged acting with him.]
[Xia Xia’s Wife: Why does Xia Xia always act with scumbags? First Ji Mian, then Feng Xiang. Is Xia Xia really being held hostage or something?]
[Encountering Xia Ji That Year: The commenter above just disparaged Ji Mian! I actually think Ji Mian looks much cleaner than Feng Xiang. It would be better if she continued acting with Ji Mian.]
Eventually, people sided with Ji Mian, saying she was a much better match for Xu Zhixia than Feng Xiang.
Ji Mian read Weibo, laughing until she could barely close her mouth. Well said! Brilliantly said!
Even Xu Zhixia’s solo fans, who usually hated her, were helping her. Ji Mian was immediately satisfied.
She bounced on the bed for a long time until Xu Zhixia, who was washing her face in the bathroom, couldn’t help but come out and shout, “Stop bouncing!”
Ji Mian gave a wronged “Oh.” Huh? Why is Xu Zhixia’s temper back again?
“Mian Mian…” Xu Zhixia finished washing her face and slowly walked out.
She wore a white bathrobe that reached her knees, looking like a beauty who had just stepped out of the bath.
No, she is a great beauty! And a stunning one at that.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Mian pulled her onto her lap.
Xu Zhixia looped her arms around Ji Mian’s neck and laughed, “Are you not going out for a month?”
“I’ll come check on you when necessary,” Ji Mian said seriously.
“Necessary?”
Xu Zhixia and Feng Xiang finally met the next day.
Feng Xiang was tall and handsome. He had become a Movie King in his late twenties, and many actresses were infatuated with him.
Despite his chaotic private life, they were still devoted to him.
Xu Zhixia smiled faintly, but to outsiders, it held a touch of sarcasm.
“Hello, Miss Xu.” Feng Xiang offered his hand.
Xu Zhixia briefly took his hand, then immediately withdrew it.
She silently took out a tissue and wiped her hand.
“Hello.”
The director of this movie was a new generation talent, but he had directed several high-grossing films and won a major award, making him one of the most sought-after directors among young actors.
The director said cheerfully, “Alright, you two get acquainted first. We’ll start filming soon.”
“We’re already acquainted,” Xu Zhixia said, walking past Feng Xiang.
Feng Xiang twitched his mouth. He suppressed his confusion, looking at the side of her face covered by hair.
A possessive desire suddenly welled up in his heart.
—That Feng Xiang really looks greasy.
—He even wanted to shake my hand. I only shook it to be polite.
—So I shook it. His hand was as greasy as his face, hahahahaha.
Ji Mian, still in the hotel room, immediately grew restless when she saw the messages.
She replied nervously: “Don’t give him a chance to take advantage of you.”
Xu Zhixia laughed: “Don’t worry. Your Xia Xia is smart. Don’t you think I know how to handle this?”
The thought of Xu Zhixia and Feng Xiang kissing still made Ji Mian restless.
—I’m so scared right now.
—Scared of what?
—Do you two have…
—Kiss scenes!!
—And bed scenes!!
Xu Zhixia laughed heartily internally. She suddenly felt a little regretful. After all, she accepted the role impulsively. As a girlfriend, Ji Mian must feel uncomfortable.
—As an actress, I must uphold my professional integrity.
Ji Mian: “…” Can’t you just comfort me seriously?
Xu Zhixia continued to reply.
—Don’t worry. I’ll tell the director. If all else fails, we’ll stage it.
—Forget it. Just make sure I don’t see it.
If staging the kiss was exposed by anti-fans, Xu Zhixia might face online abuse again. Although Xu Zhixia seemed unbothered by online comments, Ji Mian cared!
Ji Mian disguised herself and went to the set.
She was only let in after claiming to be Xu Zhixia’s friend.
Xu Zhixia was so surprised to see Ji Mian that her jaw dropped.
A crew member asked, confused, “What’s going on?”
Xu Zhixia wiped the water from her lips and laughed, “She’s my friend, visiting me. Don’t chase her away.”
The crew member reluctantly left.
Xu Zhixia couldn’t help but look at Ji Mian, who was completely covered from head to toe, and laughed: “What kind of scene is this? I’m embarrassed to tell people you’re my friend dressed like that.”
“I came to see how you and Feng Xiang are getting along…” Ji Mian said, smiling, but secretly grinding her teeth.
Xu Zhixia said “Oh,” She’s jealous.
Just then, Feng Xiang arrived.
He carried a stack of scripts.
“Xia Xia, I came to find you!”
Ji Mian’s eyes flared with anger. Xia Xia? Such an affectionate address?!
Seeing Ji Mian’s disguise, Feng Xiang visibly froze.
Xu Zhixia said, “This is my friend, here to visit.”
Feng Xiang quickly said “Oh, oh,” “Aren’t you going to take off your jacket? The studio is still very hot.”
“No, thank you for your concern.” To avoid being overheard, Ji Mian lowered her voice and spoke coolly.
Feng Xiang sensed her coldness and secretly glanced at Ji Mian twice.
“Xia Xia, there’s a kiss scene in a bit. Don’t be nervous,” Feng Xiang reminded her, feigning chivalry.
Xu Zhixia twitched her mouth. If Ji Mian hadn’t been there, she could have answered calmly. But with Ji Mian present, Xu Zhixia couldn’t think of anything to say.
“Mhm,” Xu Zhixia only managed a faint reply.
Ji Mian said coldly, “Just make sure you don’t add any extra scenes.”
Feng Xiang tilted his head, clearly not understanding her.
Xu Zhixia laughed awkwardly: “She was talking to me.” Please don’t give away our secret…
Feng Xiang laughed, “Xia Xia isn’t as ill-tempered as the rumors suggest.”
Ji Mian: “…” You’re not as bad as the rumors suggest, but you are.
“Roll camera! Roll camera!” the director shouted.
Ji Mian gritted her teeth. So soon…
Ji Mian hovered around the director, interfering as much as possible. The director knew she was Xu Zhixia’s friend and didn’t dare speak harshly, but he still sent someone to escort her out.
However, Ji Mian snuck back in a moment later. This time, she was smarter. She pretended to be a crew member holding a sign, wandering nearby, and found a good vantage point to watch the two leads act.
Xu Zhixia couldn’t see where Ji Mian was. Filming was about to start, so she stopped looking.
She just silently told herself that Ji Mian wasn’t there.
This was her and Feng Xiang’s first kiss scene.
Kissing right at the start of filming still made Xu Zhixia uncomfortable.
She had discussed it with the director. The director thought it was awkward but respected the actress’s wishes: their lips just had to touch.
According to the script, Xu Zhixia sat on Feng Xiang’s lap.
The sight made Ji Mian’s scalp tingle and her limbs weaken. She widened her eyes, accepting the fact that her girlfriend was sitting on a greasy man’s lap.
Ji Mian felt deeply pained, but she endured it, not wanting to ask for a retake, or Xu Zhixia would have to sit on his lap again.
Feng Xiang’s hand brushed Xu Zhixia’s fair neck.
Ji Mian: T_T!! She decided not to look, but after a moment, she forced herself to watch again.
Xu Zhixia felt goosebumps erupt on her skin. Looking at his handsome face, she still felt a sudden urge to gag.
She suddenly felt that acting was a completely self-sacrificing profession. Feng Xiang’s lips gently brushed her neck. Xu Zhixia desperately wanted to move away, her entire body shaking uncontrollably.
Finally, it was time for the kiss. Xu Zhixia held her breath, just about to kiss him, when a shout suddenly snapped her out of her daze.
“No!!!!!!!!”
Ji Mian was screaming desperately nearby, trying to stop them.
Xu Zhixia: “…”
