Best Actress Turns Into A Cat [Semi-Transmigration] - Chapter 10
For some reason, Yin Liang felt a resistance toward Gui Nuo that came from the bottom of her heart—especially when there was physical contact!
So when Gui Nuo pressed her down beneath her, Yin Liang’s entire body went tense, her gaze wary as she looked at Gui Nuo on top of her.
Gui Nuo’s face was taut, like a little wolf protecting the Yin Liang beneath her. No, here it should be Bai Qianqian.
“How did there end up being one more person?” A masked man stopped the man who was rubbing his hands together and leering obscenely at the two girls, then questioned him.
“When we were kidnapping her, this woman clung to that Bai Qianqian for dear life. There was nothing we could do, so we had to bring her along too!” The man’s voice was vulgar. “Boss, both of these girls are pretty good. Don’t you want to enjoy them?”
“…” The man glanced at the two trembling girls on the side and thought of his own daughter, who was around their age. “Don’t touch either of them. Otherwise, you’ll be in for it!”
“Cut!” The director’s voice came over. “Not bad! Both of you were good!”
The moment she heard the director’s voice, Gui Nuo immediately got up.
Yin Liang, who had originally been shielded beneath Gui Nuo, was also protected by her own assistant.
Yin Liang let out a breath of relief. It was finally over. She no longer had to face Gui Nuo’s face, which made her want to slap it just by looking at it.
Yin Liang was an oddity among people in the industry. She did not go clubbing, did not attend drinking parties, and most of the time, she would not even go to wrap-party meals. She lived a very simple life with only two fixed points: every day, aside from being on set, she stayed at home!
“Liang Liang, are you getting ready to go home?” While the makeup artist was removing Yin Liang’s makeup, Xiao Jing asked from the side.
Yin Liang nodded. She had been frightened today. She had to go home and rest properly. The most, most important thing was that according to what had happened last night and the night before, she was very worried about one thing happening! She had to go back early!
“Oh right, Xiao Jing, is there anything that can keep someone awake and stop them from falling asleep?” Yin Liang suddenly asked after her makeup was removed.
“Coffee!” Xiao Jing found it a little strange. Why was Yin Liang asking this? Didn’t she never drink coffee?
“Oh, right. I forgot!” Yin Liang touched her head and smiled. Her worldview had been reconstructed too intensely over the past two days, and she had actually forgotten about this.
“Can you help me buy the best coffee? I suddenly want to drink some.”
“Sure. Wait for me.” Xiao Jing said this and went out.
Yin Liang sat in the lounge, preparing to wait for Xiao Jing to return.
“She really is acting like a big shot! Didn’t she just win a Golden Flower Best Actress award? Does she need to put on airs to that extent? Did you see? She left straight away by car without even removing her makeup. Do you think her financial backer was worried?” Some actress of unknown rank said to her makeup artist.
The makeup artist did not reply. Yin Liang sat in her chair and read her script without even lifting her head. The woman glanced at Yin Liang, still somewhat unwilling to give up, and spoke again. “Senior, aren’t you going back yet?”
Yin Liang raised her head. In the entire makeup room, only she and that woman were actresses. The rest were all makeup artists.
“In a little while. Xiao Jing went out for something.” Originally, there had been several other assistants too, but since there was nothing much left to do, Yin Liang had told them to go back.
Yin Liang did not particularly like this actress. Even though the actress was speaking ill of Gui Nuo, Yin Liang still did not like her. Back when Yin Liang had just debuted, every role she acted in was the female lead, so she had heard plenty of words like these. At that time, she had even joked with Sister Song that according to the rumors outside, she had enough financial backers to fill two mahjong tables.
“Senior, you’ve worked hard.” After removing her makeup, the woman came and sat beside Yin Liang, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
“…” Yin Liang wondered whether she should reply with, “Serving the people.”
“Senior, did you see the car that came to pick up that Gui Nuo?”
“…”
The woman still wanted to say something, but Xiao Jing, who had returned, interrupted her. “Liang Liang, where is everyone else?”
“I told them to go back. There’s nothing much to do anyway.” Yin Liang felt there was no need. It was just acting. It was not her first time. Sister Hua did not need to have so many people follow her around. Basically, having Xiao Jing alone was enough.
“My dear ancestor, if Sister Hua finds out, she’ll scold me again. All right, let’s not talk about it. Let’s go back!” Xiao Jing sighed. Could this dear ancestor have even a little awareness of being a celebrity? Then she thought of Yin Liang’s daily routine. Fine, she really did not!
“It’s fine. Sister Hua won’t scold you. She’s so gentle, don’t worry!” Yin Liang accepted the coffee and said, “You don’t need to send me. You can go back too. The driver can take me home.”
“Forget it. I’ll only feel at ease after I send you to your door.” Xiao Jing pulled open the car door and said.
Sure enough, Xiao Jing only left once Yin Liang had reached her front door.
“Sister Song, I’m back!” The moment Yin Liang came home, she called out, “I’m so hungry!”
“Miss, dinner will be ready soon!” Because Yin Liang had gone to sleep especially early and had not eaten dinner for the past two days, Sister Song had timed today’s meal for when Yin Liang would get back!
After Yin Liang changed into her home clothes and came downstairs, she saw a table full of dishes. Her eyes practically lit up!
Her days had always been very peaceful. Because she liked this kind of life, she had only hired one full-time housekeeper. That way, life felt almost the same as living alone.
After dinner, Sister Song saw Yin Liang start making coffee and found it a little strange. “Miss, it’s almost time for you to sleep. Why are you making coffee? And Miss, don’t you never drink coffee?”
“Uh, I need to sleep a little later tonight!” Yin Liang thought about it and realized she did not seem to have any excuse she could use.
“…” Sister Song could only say, “Miss, drinking coffee at night is bad for your skin. You just had rashes yesterday. You can’t mess around anymore!”
Yin Liang frowned. She had not thought of that.
“If I had a robot cat, I’d call…”
The phone beside her rang. Yin Liang put down the coffee and picked up the call. “Sister Hua?”
“Are you home? Have you eaten?” Sister Hua’s voice came through.
“I ate. Sister Hua, I think there’s really no need to assign so many people to me tomorrow. It’s not like this is my first time acting.” After looking at Gui Nuo’s management team today, Yin Liang deeply felt that her own side was making too much of a fuss.
“I’ll discuss it with the company. How did it feel acting opposite that person today?” Sister Hua asked with a smile. “Did you feel like you’d finally met your match, regretting that you hadn’t met sooner?”
“Hehe…” Black lines appeared over Yin Liang’s head. “Sister Hua, even our fans know that we’re sworn enemies… Otherwise, why would one of us be called Her Majesty the Empress, and the other Noble Consort?”
“So you do pay attention to your fans?” Sister Hua laughed. “Then, Your Majesty the Empress, how do you feel about the Noble Consort?”
“How else could I feel?” Yin Liang yawned. “Same as always…”
Yin Liang’s brain was already starting to malfunction. Her whole body had grown a little dazed and muddled. So sleepy!
“To be honest, Gui Nuo really is meow-damnedly suited… to playing psychos…” After Yin Liang finished saying this, she flopped onto the bed and fell asleep.
On the other end, Sister Hua did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that sentence. She really did say things directly!
Downstairs, when Sister Song saw that Yin Liang had already gone upstairs to sleep, she poured out the coffee.
