Lin Qingyi’s movie “Blood Rose” was filming very smoothly, and it would probably wrap in about a week.
Qin Shiyue’s idol drama “My Princess Girlfriend” was also nearing its end and would likely finish in about two weeks.
This meant their days of rehearsing scenes together were about to end.
Since that day, they had only acted normally. No matter how invested or ambiguous the scenes were, once they finished, Lin Qingyi could quickly cool down and detach from the emotions and intimacy of the role. Qin Shiyue didn’t know when she would ever be able to do that, maybe never. She admired Lin Qingyi’s ability but also felt a deep disappointment. It meant Lin Qingyi truly treated acting as acting. Those moments that felt so real to Qin Shiyue had actually been fake.
Qin Shiyue disliked how clumsy she was at handling her feelings. She wasn’t decisive at all. Lin Qingyi could step out of character quickly, but she had to fight hard just to pull herself out, and maybe she had never really succeeded. It seemed she liked the Lin Qingyi outside the scenes even more, yet that Lin Qingyi made her too afraid to love, forcing her to suppress every growing emotion.
Sometimes she even fooled herself into thinking: If only this drama could go on forever, if only I could keep acting with her forever. At least in the story, she likes me.
But everything eventually ends. Thinking about how Lin Qingyi’s filming would wrap next week made Qin Shiyue feel an intense reluctance and loss.
"Tell me, are we good friends now?" After finishing tonight’s scene, Qin Shiyue didn’t move away from where she was leaning against Lin Qingyi. She felt particularly weak for saying that. If Lin Qingyi couldn’t like her romantically, then at the very least she hoped to be someone special in Lin Qingyi’s heart, even if only as a good friend.
Lin Qingyi herself would never spend this much time and energy on a friend. She looked down on the word “friend,” even if you added “good” in front. If you broke “good” apart and removed the “d,” she could barely accept it.
“You think it is, then it is.” Lin Qingyi lightly twirled Qin Shiyue’s long golden hair around her index finger, playing with it absentmindedly.
Facing away from Lin Qingyi, Qin Shiyue naturally didn’t notice this small action. But Lin Qingyi’s words made her a little annoyed. It sounded as if Lin Qingyi meant she wasn’t even qualified to be her good friend.
“What do you mean by ‘if I think it is, then it is’? Shouldn’t both people think so for it to count?” Qin Shiyue asked angrily, thinking, If that logic works, then I think I can sleep with you too!
Seeing Qin Shiyue’s annoyed expression, Lin Qingyi realized she had misunderstood and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“What are you laughing at again?” Qin Shiyue turned to face Lin Qingyi, even more upset. She felt lost and sad about their coming end and separation, yet Lin Qingyi didn’t seem to care at all. Qin Shiyue figured maybe she was addicted to unrequited love, always throwing herself in wholeheartedly, making it painful. Did she have some kind of emotional self-torturing tendency?
Because she was caught up in her emotions, Qin Shiyue didn’t notice that her body had leaned toward Lin Qingyi. The two were now very close, their faces only inches apart, the air turning ambiguous.
Lin Qingyi noticed their intimate posture. While acting with Qin Shiyue, she had allowed her real feelings to slip into the scenes. It wasn’t just acting anymore; she had gotten too involved. But once off set, she had to restrain herself, avoid too much physical contact with Qin Shiyue, and stop making any ambiguous moves, trying to cool down the emotions she carried from the roles.
In the drama, it burned hot; outside the drama, it was forced to cool. This constant push from high to low left her stuck in between, feeling very uncomfortable. She knew Qin Shiyue’s emotions now came from the drama nearing its end. There was reluctance, and there was the anxiety before separation. But Lin Qingyi wasn’t sure if Qin Shiyue was reluctant about the character in the drama or about her in real life.
The filming was about to end. Naturally, Lin Qingyi also felt a strong unwillingness to part, so at this moment she didn’t immediately cool down like before. Instead, she let the heat from the drama continue to stain them both.
Lin Qingyi reached out and hooked her hand around Qin Shiyue’s neck.
That ambiguous gesture instantly made Qin Shiyue aware of how close their bodies were. It had been a long time since the off-set Lin Qingyi had done something so intimate.
Qin Shiyue’s face flushed uncontrollably, waves of emotion rising inside her.
Lin Qingyi watched the blush spread over Qin Shiyue’s cheeks, finding her especially charming. Seeing the person she liked shy right in front of her. Perhaps that was the most beautiful sight in the world.
“Baby, are you reluctant to let me go?” Lin Qingyi softly blew a breath at the bridge of Qin Shiyue’s tall, delicate nose.
The warm yet slightly cool breath, carrying the faint fragrance of orchids, brushed against her heart like a tease. Qin Shiyue felt she was done for, her mind now had only one overpowering thought: she wanted to push Lin Qingyi onto the sofa and kiss her hard.

“We’ve been together this long. Don’t you feel even a little reluctant?” Qin Shiyue asked back, neither denying her own reluctance nor hiding that she wanted to know if Lin Qingyi felt the same about her.
Qin Shiyue didn’t like it when her sister or Sister Fang called her “Baby.” It made her feel childish. But now that Lin Qingyi said it, she felt an itch deep inside. She thought Lin Qingyi was probably the most skilled at teasing. A straight woman who knew how to stir someone up. Like now, did she know how ambiguous this posture was? Maybe she did. Qin Shiyue believed Lin Qingyi knew she liked her. Yet, Lin Qingyi had cooled things down outside of filming for some time now. That was likely the most subtle way of rejecting her.
Maybe at this moment, Lin Qingyi was just suddenly in the mood to tease her, just to prove her own irresistible charm. After all, it was almost over. Once Lin Qingyi’s scenes wrapped, she wouldn’t have to face her again.
Even knowing that Lin Qingyi might only be teasing her on a whim, Qin Shiyue was still willing to play along. She wanted to be teased by her.
Since Lin Qingyi had taken the initiative to get close, Qin Shiyue naturally wrapped her arms around Lin Qingyi’s waist. Opportunities like this didn’t come often.
A tingling sensation spread from where Qin Shiyue’s arms circled her waist. Lin Qingyi could feel how sensitive her body was to Qin Shiyue’s touch.
“Of course I’ll miss Baby. But don’t worry, baby. This time I plan to do a good thing to the end. Even when my scenes finish next week, I won’t check out right away. I’ll stay until your drama is completely done.”
Qin Shiyue didn’t actually need to practice lines with her anymore,bshe could already act well enough without it. Yet Lin Qingyi still wanted to stay and rehearse with her, to see it through together.
It felt like Lin Qingyi was accompanying her to finish this entire drama.
Hearing that, Qin Shiyue looked at Lin Qingyi. She knew Lin Qingyi had no real reason to stay another week just to practice with her. Could she take that as a sign that Lin Qingyi also felt reluctant to part with her?
Lin Qingyi noticed the heat and a trace of expectation in Qin Shiyue’s eyes. She knew she was showing herself clearly enough that Qin Shiyue must have sensed something special from her.
“Lin Qingyi…” Qin Shiyue called her full name, her voice trembling slightly.
“Mm?” Lin Qingyi still felt a bit of anticipation. Even though she knew Qin Shiyue liked her at least somewhat, she still wanted to hear Qin Shiyue say it herself.
Do you like me, even just a little? Qin Shiyue wanted to ask her.
But when the words reached her lips, she lost her nerve. She didn’t dare to ask. She was afraid of rejection.
If she didn’t ask, she could keep holding onto a tiny hope, even lying to herself, believing Lin Qingyi saw her as someone special. She could imagine that they were already more than friends but not yet lovers, and keep sinking into that illusion.
If she asked, there would only be two answers: yes or no.
And Qin Shiyue thought… it was probably “no.”
If the answer was “no,” then once the truth was out, everything between them would become awkward. Maybe they wouldn’t even last the remaining two weeks. Maybe it would all end sooner.
Qin Shiyue thought, after the filming ended, she would ask her. Two weeks would not make a difference.
“I see yours really isn’t as big as mine.” Qin Shiyue suddenly changed the topic and straightened her chest, proud that she finally had something better than Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi thought Qin Shiyue was about to confess, but instead, Qin Shiyue showed off her figure, showing off her advantage. Lin Qingyi felt speechless. Could this woman even get a girlfriend? She totally did not know how to woo someone. Not having one was normal.
“Maybe because this part grew too much, the other abilities didn’t grow well.” Lin Qingyi’s eyes fell on Qin Shiyue’s very full chest, and she spoke sharply.
“Lin Qingyi, where are you looking so dirty?” Qin Shiyue suppressed her shyness, speaking in an annoyed tone.
“This counts as dirty? I think this counts.” Lin Qingyi said and moved her hand.
Qin Shiyue thought this woman really was a steel straight girl. Only a straight girl would be so shameless. Poor Qin Shiyue’s face turned red, and she felt she was losing again.
Qin Shiyue wanted to fight back, but a straight girl touching was just touching. She, as someone who is bent, could not do the same. So the gentleman-like Qin Shiyue could only be wronged and let a fake straight girl bully her.
No, she had to fight back. She could touch the waist, right? Qin Shiyue changed her tactic. Her hands were already around Lin Qingyi’s waist, and now she started to tickle it.
The fake straight girl first felt a soft itch on her waist. Her waist was the most ticklish. She could not stand Qin Shiyue’s tickling and instinctively pushed Qin Shiyue away.
Qin Shiyue saw Lin Qingyi was so afraid of tickling. This was different from her usual style. It felt like she had found something interesting. Qin Shiyue not only did not let Lin Qingyi go but even pressed Lin Qingyi down onto the sofa, using her body to hold Lin Qingyi down and continued to tickle her waist.
Lin Qingyi’s waist became extremely ticklish the moment Qin Shiyue brushed it lightly. Lin Qingyi laughed uncontrollably and had no strength at all. She could not move under Qin Shiyue’s hold.
“Baby… don’t tickle… it’s ticklish… let me go…” Lin Qingyi laughed so hard she was almost out of breath.
Maybe their noise from playing around was too loud, so it drew the attention of the two managers who were chatting and gossiping next door.
When Bai Wenxi and Fang Xinhua came over, they saw Baby Qin’er pressing Lin Qingyi down. That posture could easily make people think of something else. They were very surprised, and at the same time, they had the same thought: they seemed to have guessed the wrong top and bottom.
Qin Shiyue then realized that the position she was in with Lin Qingyi looked a bit ambiguous. But as the one on top, she did not mind the two managers misunderstanding. She even felt a strange sense of pride, as if she had unintentionally shown power.
Lin Qingyi saw Fang Xinhua and Bai Wenxi’s surprised expressions and instantly knew what they were thinking. Her dignity had fallen.
