"Then when we get back to the hotel, I'll tell you properly in bed,” Lin Qingyi said softly and intimately to Qin Shiyue, blowing on Qin Shiyue's ears, which were slightly red from the cold. It seemed like she was warming Qin Shiyue’s ears with her breath, and it really worked.
Qin Shiyue's ears felt hot and turned even redder.
"Okay." Qin Shiyue wished Lin Qingyi would finish work right now and go back to the hotel.
“When did you dye your hair?” Lin Qingyi reached out and touched Qin Shiyue’s long hair that had been dyed back to black. The black long straight hairstyle made her baby look especially obedient, so obedient that it made people want to bully her.
“I dyed it before coming here. Does it look good?” Before, whenever she had a new look, Sister Fang would take photos for her, then upload them to Weibo for fans to see. Now Qin Shiyue didn't want to continue taking the popularity route. After changing to a new look, the first person she wanted to show was the person she liked, wanting the other person to feel something fresh and new.
Her girlfriend was Little Boss Qin, the beauty icon who relied on looks to secure her position as a traffic star in the entertainment circle. Her beauty wasn't just hype, it had been recognized by countless people.
“Do you even need to ask? Of course it looks good, it looks extremely good.” Lin Qingyi had to admit that Qin Shiyue's good looks played a significant role in her initial attraction. The woman who had been squatting in the parking lot, crying her eyes out, looking so pitiful, if she hadn't been such a beauty, she probably would have just treated it as a performance, something she'd seen and forgotten, and wouldn't have thought about it so often.
She was prettier than Yang Yun, but superficial, and had no better support to resist the jealousy and envy in her heart.
Qin Shiyue smiled at Lin Qingyi's affirmation.
Lin Qingyi keenly noticed that Qin Shiyue's smile was only seven parts genuine, with three parts of it hidden in a veil of ambiguity.
"Baby, are you unhappy?" Lin Qingyi thought they hadn't seen each other for so long that happiness had already reached ten parts, maybe even more.
"I'm so happy to see you," Qin Shiyue immediately denied. She knew that Lin Qingyi and Yang Yun were just filming, just working. Her uncontrollable jealousy and envy were acting out of the blue. She wanted to keep these inappropriate emotions to herself and process them on her own.
Lin Qingyi still felt something was wrong, but the break time ended before she could ask any more questions.
Lin Qingyi temporarily couldn't care about Qin Shiyue’s emotions either. She could only wait until tonight back at the hotel to talk about it. Gathering her thoughts, she put all her focus into the acting.
Once Lin Qingyi gets into character, she's like a completely different person.
Qin Shiyue looked at Lin Qingyi immersing in the role, feeling that at this moment Lin Qingyi didn't belong to her. The sourness and jealousy that had just calmed down slightly surged up from the bottom of her heart again, along with something else.
If her acting skills were as good as Yang Yun’s, then the person acting opposite Lin Qingyi right now should be herself. Qin Shiyue knew her thoughts had probably entered a dead end, yet she couldn't stop thinking this way, turning it into resentment toward herself.
The unhealed wound in her heart has reopened.
Yang Yun, who took the initiative to get close to Lin Qingyi, thought that Lin Qingyi was indifferent to everyone, even the director, she was very polite but not affectionate. It wasn't until she saw Lin Qingyi smile at Qin Shiyue, lean close to Qin Shiyue, and touch Qin Shiyue's hair that she realized that Lin Qingyi also had such a warm side.
Lin Qingyi, who only showed special treatment to one person, seemed even more charming. Yang Yun couldn't help but wish that she were the one Lin Qingyi treated specially. She wasn't as beautiful as Qin Shiyue, but she felt she was more outstanding than her. The attraction of good looks was fleeting; her own excellence was more suitable for Lin Qingyi, just like their on-screen chemistry, perfect and harmonious.
Yang Yun deliberately tried to provoke Qin Shiyue by showing off her on-screen chemistry. However, her selfish motives prevented her from fully immersing herself in the role, and her performance became overly forceful.
Zhang Zexun's strictness naturally wouldn't tolerate Yang Yun's flawed performance.
Yang Yun has already had to do four takes for her scenes with Lin Qingyi.
Some key scenes required over ten takes. Normally, Lin Qingyi wouldn't mind, but Qin Shiyue's arrival made her want to finish work quickly and go back to the hotel to be with her girlfriend. Yang Yun's frequent NGs made Lin Qingyi impatient. The scene wasn't particularly difficult, and she felt that two or three NGs would be enough for Yang Yun's skill level, making her suspect that Yang Yun was deliberately dragging things out to prevent her from finishing. Lin Qingyi, who initially neither liked nor disliked Yang Yun, now felt a growing aversion to her.
As a highly skilled actress, Lin Qingyi had long since mastered the ability to conceal her true emotions. After Yang Yun's fifth NG, a rare hint of impatience appeared on Lin Qingyi's face.
"Yang Yun is probably tired. How about we stop filming here for today?" Lin Qingyi walked up to Zhang Zexun and suggested to the director that she didn't want to waste any more time.
“Yang Yun’s condition in this scene really isn't good. Let's stop here for today.” Since Lin Qingyi had already shown impatience, Zhang Zexun naturally had to give Lin Qingyi face. Besides, Yang Yun’s performance in this scene was indeed bad. Usually even if others weren't in good condition, Lin Qingyi had never actively suggested ending work. Clearly, her beautiful girlfriend had arrived, and she wanted to finish work early to accompany her girlfriend.
Qin Shiyue actively walked toward Lin Qingyi and Zhang Zexun.
"Hello, Director Zhang." Qin Shiyue greeted Zhang Zexun politely.
“You're already very beautiful on camera, but you're even more beautiful in person.” For Qin Shilan and Lin Qingyi’s sake, Zhang Zexun politely praised her. Besides beauty, Qin Shiyue probably had nothing else worth praising. In Zhang Zexun’s view, in the entertainment circle, beauty wasn't the rarest thing. Every new class at drama schools had many beautiful kids. But people with talent and acting skills weren't many. He had always valued acting more, and normally wasn't very interested in these traffic stars and young idols.
"Director Zhang, you flatter me," Qin Shiyue said modestly.
She was self-aware enough to know that her terrible acting skills weren't enough to make Zhang Zexun take her seriously. This compliment might just be a perfunctory one, for Lin Qingyi's sake.
After finishing work, Lin Qingyi immediately took Qin Shiyue back to her presidential suite.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the young couple, who hadn't seen each other for almost a month, were like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, they ignited instantly.
Passionate kisses, taking off clothes, entering the bathroom, mandarin ducks playing in water, not a single moment was wasted.
After a brief exchange, both of them emerged from the bathroom, with equally trembling legs.
After a long separation, the two, whose accumulated love and desire had been temporarily relieved, embraced tenderly and talked intimately.
“Baby, you seemed unhappy on set just now.” Lin Qingyi hadn’t forgotten Qin Shiyue’s unusual mood, and she had to figure out why she was unhappy.
"No," Qin Shiyue denied.
"If I encounter something unhappy in the future and don't tell you, will you care?" Lin Qingyi asked skillfully.
"I think it's my own problem, it's embarrassing." Qin Shiyue hesitated and felt somewhat ashamed.

"Then I'm even more eager to know." If there's a problem, I'll get to the bottom of it.
“When I watched you acting with her, I was very jealous of her.”
"Silly, that's only acting.” Lin Qingyi reached out and touched Qin Shiyue’s head. Her tone was gentle and doting. At first she just didn't guess it, but she wasn't completely surprised by Qin Shiyue’s jealousy.
“I know. It's because I know that I feel it's wrong, but I can't control it.” Qin Shiyue buried her face into Lin Qingyi’s neck and spoke in a muffled voice. She didn't like herself like this.
Author's Note:
Lin Qingyi was still very good at coaxing baby Qin'er.
Red envelopes dropped randomly.
