SRLM 71

Chapter – 71

Qin Shiyue felt Lin Qingyi’s hand slide down along her long hair and reach the back of her neck. The touch on her neck made her skin tingle uncontrollably. Qin Shiyue thought to herself that she must really be lacking affection from women lately. Just being touched casually like this was enough to make her react.

Lin Qingyi was not sure if it was just her imagination, but Qin Shiyue’s eyes today seemed especially full of expectation when looking at her. Since this “vase” looked so hopeful, she felt she shouldn’t disappoint her. So the hand resting on Qin Shiyue’s neck slowly moved up to stroke her cheek.

Qin Shiyue felt the timing was right. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around Lin Qingyi’s waist and pressed her whole body against her, pushing her firmly against the door.

Lin Qingyi had never expected Qin Shiyue to turn the situation around like this. Held tightly in her arms and trapped against the door, she could not move at all. Lin Qingyi, who always liked to control everything, suddenly felt her heartbeat skip several beats.

“Do you like touching me that much? Is it because I’m too beautiful?”

Qin Shiyue’s lips moved close to Lin Qingyi’s ear as she whispered in a teasing and ambiguous tone.

The warm breath from Qin Shiyue brushed against Lin Qingyi’s ear, making it tingle slightly. Her ear began to heat up uncontrollably.

Qin Shiyue noticed that Lin Qingyi’s ear seemed redder than before. She wondered whether the famous actress was just acting, or if she was really shy. No matter which it was, Qin Shiyue felt happy at this moment, even a little proud. She thought she had handled this scene perfectly. It was the first time she felt a little proud of herself.

Qin Shiyue decided to press on. Before Lin Qingyi could make a move and catch her off guard, she would attack again and leave her completely defeated. She moved her lips even closer to Lin Qingyi’s ear and gently blew into it.

Lin Qingyi’s ear trembled slightly. She tried hard to suppress the sudden sensation in her body. She had never liked people getting this close to her. Yet now, facing Qin Shiyue’s intimate actions, she not only felt no rejection, but even a faint sense of expectation.

As if not disappointing that expectation, Qin Shiyue finally moved her lips away from Lin Qingyi’s ear. But she stayed very close, almost brushing against her cheek, and finally stopped in front of Lin Qingyi’s slightly parted lips.

Only then did their eyes truly meet. In that instant, it felt as if an undercurrent flowed between them. Qin Shiyue looked at Lin Qingyi’s lips and suddenly realized she actually wanted to kiss her. That thought shocked her. She secretly pinched her own thigh to stay rational, warning herself not to turn acting into reality. If she really fell for her, it would be terrible.

Under Qin Shiyue’s intense gaze, Lin Qingyi was almost about to close her eyes and cooperate.

“How was it? My acting was good this time, right?”

Pinching herself worked. Qin Shiyue kept her rationality and stopped the improvised scene. Her tone was proud and smug. Combined with her beautiful and arrogant face, it was extremely dazzling.

Lin Qingyi finally reacted. This woman had played her too. Thinking of her own moment of expectation just now, Lin Qingyi felt the violent side of her nature stir.

Damn it.

But she still held back and only cursed in her heart. She had never felt so frustrated before. She took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the anger and irritation in her chest.

Deep breathing really helped. After a few times, her anger lessened. As her reason returned, she remembered that she had once teased Qin Shiyue maliciously like this too. Qin Shiyue must have felt embarrassed and annoyed back then. With that thought, her anger finally faded. She couldn’t be the only one allowed to tease others while others weren’t allowed to tease her back—though she admitted she was a bit double-standard.

“Baby, that added scene was really good. Becoming the next Best Actress is just around the corner.”

Lin Qingyi said with a smile, her tone sounding full of praise.

Qin Shiyue had wanted to see Lin Qingyi look embarrassed and annoyed. But seeing her calm and composed expression, her sense of pride suddenly disappeared, and she felt unhappy. She didn’t care at all. Was she really just straight? Was all her flirting and teasing nothing more than a prank?

Thinking of this, Qin Shiyue suddenly felt a little disappointed. She stepped back, moving her body away from Lin Qingyi.

Lin Qingyi noticed Qin Shiyue’s sudden loss of momentum. Clearly, the “vase” had gained the upper hand this time. So why did she look discouraged instead? She had been successfully teased, though she had controlled her temper and not argued. What else was Qin Shiyue dissatisfied with?

“I praised you. Why are you unhappy instead?”

Lin Qingyi asked casually.

Qin Shiyue felt the disappointment in her heart, but she could not explain the reason to Lin Qingyi.

“Why did you call me over? And why did you suddenly change your attitude today?”

Qin Shiyue asked again.

Of course, Lin Qingyi would never admit that she had been jealous. Even if she was willing to admit in her heart that she cared about Qin Shiyue, she did not like putting herself in a disadvantaged position. She would wait until Qin Shiyue liked her too before letting her know about her feelings.

“I just suddenly wanted to add a scene. Like acting out a ‘turning hostile and denying everything’ drama. So, how was my acting this time?”

Lin Qingyi casually made up an excuse to brush it off.

Qin Shiyue couldn’t think of any other reason for Lin Qingyi’s sudden cold attitude. Hearing this excuse only made her angrier.

“You’re crazy. Who randomly adds this kind of scene in real life? I’m telling you, if you act like you’re turning hostile on me again, I’ll really turn hostile.”

Qin Shiyue warned her. This woman was too bad. She had no idea how upset she had felt at that time.

“Alright, it won’t happen again. Baby, don’t be angry.”

Lin Qingyi gently touched Qin Shiyue’s cheek and coaxed her softly.

“Hmph!”

Qin Shiyue turned her face away to avoid Lin Qingyi’s hand, showing that she had a temper too.

At that moment, Lin Qingyi walked into the room, picked up the cup of lemon water, and inserted a straw into it right in front of Qin Shiyue.
