After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 30.1
The sky was bright. Sunlight streamed in diagonally from the car window.
All night long, Liang Manqing felt like someone was biting her.
Or perhaps not biting, but sucking or nibbling. In any case, the sensation was difficult to describe.
It wasn’t until Liang Manqing suddenly opened her eyes that she realized the source of the strange feeling.
Liang Manqing held Qin Qin’s chin, freeing herself. Her voice was still hoarse from sleep: “Qin Qin, what were you doing?”
Forcibly awakened from her sweet dream, Qin Qin mumbled in dissatisfaction: “D-don’t disturb me while I’m eating cherries…”
“What?” Liang Manqing propped herself up and got out of bed, heading to the bathroom. In the mirror, she saw red marks covering her body. She closed her eyes: “Qin Qin, what did you do last night?”
Qin Qin, hearing the voice, hurried over in her slippers. Seeing the marks on Liang Manqing’s body, she asked shyly: “Does it hurt?”
“What do you think?” Liang Manqing buttoned up her shirt, the fabric brushing against her skin, making her frown.
“Sister, let me apply the medicine. You rest here today.” Qin Qin felt uneasy after doing mischief. Blushing, she mimicked Liang Manqing’s actions from the night before, trying to apply the ointment.
Liang Manqing took the cotton swab: “I’ll do it myself. Your hand is shaking.”
“I… I’m nervous.” Qin Qin handed the cotton swab to Liang Manqing, her cheeks flushing again as she watched her apply the ointment.
“I’m sorry, Sister. I didn’t realize the cherry I was eating was…” Qin Qin paused before saying: “You.”
The cool ointment reduced the pain significantly. Liang Manqing adjusted her shirt and asked: “You wanted to eat cherries?”
“Ah?” Qin Qin didn’t expect Liang Manqing to ask that. She didn’t actually want to eat cherries; she wanted to consume Sister.
But seeing Liang Manqing ask so sincerely, Qin Qin could only hum in agreement. Otherwise, Liang Manqing would definitely think she intentionally bit her cherry.
Liang Manqing looked down at Qin Qin and couldn’t help but smile: “Are you that greedy? Do you really want to eat it?”
The two successive questions made Qin Qin blush violently. Her fair neck turned red, and she stuttered: “Actually… not really.”
Liang Manqing slowly hummed: “Tell me the truth.”
Qin Qin lifted her chin and pursed her lips: “I wanted to eat Sister.”
The directness made Liang Manqing’s heart skip a beat. She gently tapped Qin Qin’s forehead with a bent finger: “You didn’t get enough to eat last night?”
“Mmm…” Qin Qin rubbed her forehead: “Sister, I fell asleep very quickly last night, so I didn’t have any real feeling.”
After climbing up and down the mountain yesterday, both of them were too tired and quickly fell asleep.
All of Qin Qin’s sensations came from her dream: a glass of tequila, a bottle of milk, and the never-ending cherries.
There was no real physical sensation.
Qin Qin really regretted falling asleep so quickly.
Liang Manqing changed her clothes, turned, and looked at Qin Qin, who was only wrapped in a bath towel: “Then what is ‘real’?”
Qin Qin saw Liang Manqing walk up to her. Liang Manqing tugged the bath towel down a little and lowered her head to bite her.
Liang Manqing used her pearly teeth to lightly graze her. Qin Qin felt an electric tingling sensation throughout her body.
“How about this?” Liang Manqing’s eyes were clouded with moisture: “Is this real?”
Qin Qin’s heart hammered fiercely. Her legs felt weak: “Sister… you’re too mean.”
Liang Manqing quickly reached out to support Qin Qin’s waist, a smile on her lips: “Qin Qin, when you act like this, it makes me want to bully you more.”
Qin Qin buried her face in Liang Manqing’s embrace, on the verge of tears.
She was fine after treating Liang Manqing as a cherry and eating her all night, but now she felt weak in the legs from a single light bite.
She is absolutely no match for Liang Manqing, wuwuwu.
The mountain location filming was completely finished. The remaining scenes were to be shot in the countryside fields.
These included scenes of supplementary experiments and extracting spices.
Liang Manqing sat on a long bench at the rural guesthouse, looking at the crew working in the fields nearby. Qin Qin was very serious when filming; almost all her shots were passed on the first take.
She heard Bai Ningning gasp: “Teacher Xia, what are you doing? How can you walk down by yourself?”
Liang Manqing quickly rushed over and caught Xia Jun: “Why did you come down? Your ankle hasn’t healed. Why aren’t you resting in your room?”
Xia Jun had practically sprinted down the stairs. A sharp pain shot through her ankle. She wished that leg would just break right now.
Liang Manqing caught her just as she was about to fall.
Bai Ningning was frantic and at a loss: “Teacher Xia, are you okay?”
Xia Jun’s face was pale: “I’m fine. You go busy yourself. You don’t need to worry about me.”
“But I’m worried about you.” Bai Ningning wanted to say more, but Liang Manqing told her: “I will take care of Xia Jun. You go get back to work.”
“…Alright then.” Bai Ningning looked back three times before finally leaving.
Xia Jun let out a sigh of relief: “Liang Manqing, help me sit on the bench outside.”
Liang Manqing helped Xia Jun sit down and squatted to examine the redness and swelling on her ankle: “It’s worse now. I’m taking you to the county hospital.”
“No need.” Xia Jun refused Liang Manqing’s suggestion, enduring the pain: “It’s just a small injury.”
“This is no longer a small injury. Why did you rush down the stairs just now? If I hadn’t caught you, did you consider the consequences?”
Liang Manqing truly didn’t understand why Xia Jun was suddenly acting this way, disregarding her own safety and not taking her injury seriously.
Xia Jun looked toward Lin Mian in the distant field: “Did you notice? Lin Mian was very nervous when she saw I was injured last night. For a moment, I thought my Lin Mian was back.”
Lin Mian’s behavior last night was suspicious—she was cold toward Xia Jun yet became nervous when Xia Jun was injured.
Liang Manqing considered this carefully: “It seems that is indeed the case. Lin Mian looked very nervous when you came back injured last night, but that look of nervousness vanished instantly and didn’t last long.”
“But I genuinely felt that Lin Mian was back.” Xia Jun insisted: “Lin Mian’s consciousness is suppressed by the possessor. Perhaps only external stimulation can awaken Lin Mian’s latent consciousness.”
Liang Manqing suddenly looked at Xia Jun: “Don’t do anything to hurt yourself. Let’s think of other ways.”
Xia Jun didn’t say anything, only giving a vague hum.
Liang Manqing pressed Xia Jun’s shoulder: “Heal your injuries. Don’t worry too much.”
The crew in the fields wrapped up. The filming schedule in the town was mostly complete.
Liang Manqing and Qin Qin were tidying up their luggage in their room when Bai Ningning rushed in frantically: “CEO Liang, has Teacher Xia contacted you?”
“What happened?” Liang Manqing checked her phone. There was no message from Xia Jun: “She hasn’t contacted me.”
“Ah? Has Teacher Xia gotten into trouble?” Bai Ningning was anxious: “She disappeared after I went out for just a moment.”
Qin Qin held Bai Ningning’s hand: “Don’t panic. Let’s go look for her together.”
Leaving the guesthouse, Liang Manqing called Xia Jun. The phone rang a few times and then hung up. When she called again, it was off.
Qin Qin asked the crew staff: “Did any of you see Xia Jun?”
Someone remembered: “Xia Jun and Lin Mian went toward the small river on the hillside.”
Qin Qin: “Do you remember when they left?”
“About half an hour ago, I guess.”
“The small river… what are they doing there?”
