Foreseeing the Future: The Scheming Film Queen and I Got Married - Chapter 13

Dong Yao took a cold shower and changed into clean clothes. At last, the stink clinging to her body was gone, and she felt much more comfortable.

In the time it took to dry her hair, another layer of sweat had already formed on her body.

Who knew when this summer would finally pass?

She sat beneath the electric fan, her hair blown backward by the wind.

From time to time, Dong Yao bit her lower lip. From time to time, she craned her neck to look outside. Her mind was restless.

Why had Gu Shiqiu come here? Could it really be fate? Because they were destined to be together, she came here, and even if they had absolutely no connection, certain unavoidable forces would still make them collide?

Dong Yao raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall. There were still ten minutes until six.

She looked outside. Would it rain today?

Only when rain and six o’clock happened to coincide would the transmigration occur. Although she did not know what caused it, the previous few times had all followed this pattern.

Ever since confirming that it was not a dream but transmigration to the future, Dong Yao had waited for six o’clock every day. But more than ten days had passed, and not a single rain had fallen.

This time, it probably would not rain either.

Just as Dong Yao was no longer holding out hope—

Outside, there came a drip.

It was the sound of a raindrop hitting a fallen leaf.

Dong Yao’s eyes lit up.

It was raining!

The summer heat dissipated slightly because of this rain.

The clock on the wall turned to six.

Dong Yao waited expectantly, but before she could react, there was a bang as her forehead slammed straight onto the table. Just like that, she fainted into sleep.

When she opened her eyes, sure enough, she was no longer in the shop. It was that unfamiliar room again.

She moved slightly and found that someone was pressing down on her hair. Turning her head, Gu Shiqiu’s face entered her sight.

Long eyelashes. Skin as white as congealed cream. Even bare-faced in the morning, she was beautiful to this extent. It was simply…

Although a beauty was very pleasing to look at, now was not the time to indulge in beauty. It had not been easy to finally get this transmigration, and there was something very important she had to do.

Dong Yao carefully pulled out the hair that had been trapped, afraid of waking Gu Shiqiu, who was still sleeping.

She gently lifted the quilt, then gently reached to pinch Gu Shiqiu’s collar.

She had to confirm whether this person was male or female. Dong Yao was about to be driven completely mad by this question.

Her hand trembled a little.

She would only confirm it. She absolutely would not look more than necessary! Dong Yao silently said to herself.

Just as her hand touched Gu Shiqiu’s collar, before she could move, she saw Gu Shiqiu’s eyelashes tremble lightly. Gu Shiqiu slowly opened her eyes.

Dong Yao suddenly pulled her hand back, her heart pounding like a drum.

“You’re awake.” Gu Shiqiu’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Dong Yao stared at her collar, unwilling to give up. She had to confirm it. Otherwise, she really would be tortured to madness by the question of her sexual orientation.

She gritted her teeth, flipped over, and pinned Gu Shiqiu down.

Gu Shiqiu had only just woken up, so her mind was sluggish for a moment. “Hm?”

Dong Yao said, “Well, since we’re dating, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with me taking one look, right?”

After saying that, without waiting for the other party’s reaction, she directly reached out and pulled open Gu Shiqiu’s clothes. The buttons of the pajamas flew off.

Time froze for an instant.

Dong Yao blinked violently several times, then closed Gu Shiqiu’s opened clothes again.

It was over.

Truly over.

She was female.

It was not that Gu Shiqiu was a man disguised as a woman. It was Dong Yao herself who had bent.

Could there be men with well-developed pectoral muscles? The thought changed immediately—impossible. No matter how developed, they could not possibly be that… big, right?

Dong Yao’s face heated up. What was she thinking? What big or not big? Hadn’t she only wanted to confirm it? A very proper confirmation. But why was her mind full of the image from just now?

All right, it was indeed very beautiful. Dong Yao admitted this point. But Gu Shiqiu had what she herself also had. There was nothing strange about it.

Not strange. Not strange at all. It was just…

Gu Shiqiu looked at the person in front of her, whose face was growing redder and redder. If smoke could come out of her head, it probably would have started smoking immediately. She laughed softly. “Do you want to keep looking?”

Dong Yao hurriedly climbed off her. “No need.”

Gu Shiqiu raised her brows, flipped over, reversed their positions, and pinned Dong Yao down. “Then shouldn’t it be my turn to look at you? That would be fair, wouldn’t it?”

Dong Yao swallowed, looking at her nervously.

Gu Shiqiu kissed the corner of her lips, then got up and left.

Dong Yao let out a long breath of relief.

“What do you want for breakfast?” Gu Shiqiu walked to the wardrobe and picked out clothes as she asked.

Dong Yao looked over and saw Gu Shiqiu take off her pajamas, revealing a smooth white back. Farther down…

Dong Yao quickly withdrew her gaze. What was this? If she was changing clothes, she should at least say something. Wasn’t it inappropriate to just take them off like that?

Then she thought about it again and understood. They were already an old married couple, so there probably was no need to avoid these things.

After changing, Gu Shiqiu walked over and kissed Dong Yao’s face. “Hurry and get up. I’ll go make breakfast first.”

Dong Yao nodded blankly.

Gu Shiqiu left the room and walked toward the kitchen. Although she had left, the room still held the pleasant scent that belonged to her.

Dong Yao’s gaze followed closely after her.

If the other person was a great beauty like this, then maybe bending was understandable?

After all… she really was beautiful.

Dong Yao shook her head. Compared to this, she should think about something else, such as memorizing the winning lottery numbers.

Dong Yao swept her gaze around and landed on the phone on the bedside table. She picked it up and tried to unlock it.

Wrong password.

She tried fingerprint unlock. No. She tried face unlock. That did not work either.

Dong Yao became annoyed. Why had her terrible habit extended into the future too? She only set a password for her phone and did not use fingerprint or face unlock at all.

Dong Yao climbed out of bed, planning to ask Gu Shiqiu for the phone password.

Just as she got out of bed, a string of numbers suddenly came to mind.

With a ding, the phone unlocked successfully.

It was Gu Shiqiu’s birthday, July 9.

Dong Yao originally did not know what day Gu Shiqiu’s birthday was, but Lin Yunyi, that fanatic fan, “grandly” celebrated every July 9. It was even more formal than celebrating her own birthday. It was difficult for Dong Yao not to know Gu Shiqiu’s birthday.

After unlocking the phone, the wallpaper that entered her sight was a photo of the two of them.

In the photo, Gu Shiqiu was looking at the camera, while Dong Yao rested her head on her shoulder, smiling with a mouthful of bright white teeth.

Dong Yao tugged at the corner of her mouth. Was this really what she looked like after falling in love? So unfamiliar.

Forget it. She would not bother with this. The urgent matter was memorizing the winning lottery numbers.

Dong Yao seriously memorized that string of numbers symbolizing wealth.

She was so focused on memorizing them that she did not notice when Gu Shiqiu arrived behind her.

Gu Shiqiu looked at the phone in Dong Yao’s hand. “Why are you memorizing that?”

The voice suddenly appeared beside her ear, startling Dong Yao into trembling.

Dong Yao said, “To get rich.”

After saying that, she continued memorizing.

Gu Shiqiu found it amusing. “Memorizing that will make you rich?”

Dong Yao had no time to pay attention to her. She perfunctorily nodded while continuing to recite under her breath.

“Little money-grubber.” Gu Shiqiu touched her head.

Dong Yao turned her back to her. “Don’t disturb me. My memory is bad, and I memorize slowly. Don’t interrupt.”

Gu Shiqiu walked closer, reached out, and took the phone from her hand.

Dong Yao froze.

“Compared to memorizing this, coaxing me should get you more money,” Gu Shiqiu said with a curled smile.

Dong Yao snatched the phone back. “How would coaxing you get me any money? Memorizing this is the most reliable…”

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Shiqiu suddenly reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and hugged her. “Of course coaxing me can get you money. After all, I’m already yours.”

Her voice dragged out at the end, and she was so close.

Dong Yao’s mind blanked for a moment.

Gu Shiqiu…

Gu Shiqiu!

Gu Shiqiu had such a gentle and dignified face, and even the way she spoke was warm and soft. So why did she now seem like a seductive fox?

Dong Yao looked at the lips so close to her and suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse to kiss them.

“Gu Shiqiu, why do you like me?” Dong Yao asked.

Gu Shiqiu pinched her nose. “Because you’re cute.”

Dong Yao said, “I go crazy when drunk, bite people, and you still think that’s cute?”

Gu Shiqiu nodded. “Cute.”

Dong Yao said, “I got splashed with dirty water and smelled awful. Still cute?”

Gu Shiqiu said without thinking, “Cute.”

Dong Yao: “…”

Gu Shiqiu laughed softly. “Why aren’t you continuing to ask?”

Dong Yao froze. “Continue asking what?”

Gu Shiqiu said, “Aren’t you asking about some things from when we first met? After that, didn’t you also do something else?”

Dong Yao suddenly panicked. “What did I do?”

The previous two meetings were already embarrassing enough. There was something even more embarrassing?

Gu Shiqiu said, “How could you forget the most important part? I went to your house to eat noodles, and you spilled an entire bowl of noodles all over me.”

Dong Yao said, “Huh???”

Gu Shiqiu smiled. “Although you were clumsy and careless, you were still very cute.”

“Do you think I’m cute no matter what I do?” Dong Yao asked tentatively.

Gu Shiqiu pondered for a moment. “Not all the time. There are also times when you’re not cute.”

Dong Yao became interested. “Under what circumstances do you think I’m not cute?”

Gu Shiqiu smiled, but there was something slightly wicked in that smile. “At certain times, you’re not cute, but very sexy.”

Dong Yao understood. She froze, and her face heated up.

Why did Gu Shiqiu keep casually driving the conversation into adult territory!?

Gu Shiqiu found it funny and pinched her face. “When did your skin become so thin?”

The scene suddenly began to blur. The person in front of her gradually disappeared.

Dong Yao woke up from the table, her forehead burning with pain. When she transmigrated, she had fallen asleep instantly, and her head had knocked against the wooden table, hurting so much that she sucked in a breath.

Enduring the pain, Dong Yao thought over Gu Shiqiu’s words just now. So, in a while, Gu Shiqiu would come to the shop, and then Dong Yao would accidentally spill noodle soup all over her?

Forget it. There was something more important. That matter could wait.

Dong Yao took out her phone, intending to type down that string of winning numbers.

Her fingers paused over the keyboard. She tilted her head, thinking left and right.

What were they?

She did not remember a single number.

Dong Yao scratched her ears and cheeks, but her brain refused to cooperate. It was completely blank. Well, it was not completely blank. She had not memorized the numbers, but she remembered every word Gu Shiqiu had said, every smile, every tiny expression, clearly and without the slightest mistake.

Dong Yao threw her phone onto the table and sighed toward the sky.

Was this what they called beauty delaying my path to riches?
