After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Played by the Black Lotus – Chapter 77

Hinting She Won’t Have Designs on Bai Xiying.

Having transformed into a cha¹ eating melons until she was high on it, the Guijie never forgot her main job. After the two people stopped talking and stopped embracing, she took a timely step forward, as if she was completely unaware of their previous conversation, maintained her initial smile, and guided the two with a clear and sweet voice.

And Bai Xiying also composed herself at this time, naturally stating her needs to the Guijie.

She wanted to pick out a few sets of formal wear in case of need. When she went to S City, she planned to concentrate on preparing for the competition; after all, this was related to her future career plan.

Ever since Bai Xiying resigned from Hurricane, she had successively posted some of her past works on social media platforms, gradually attracting a small group of fans.

For her future career plan, Bai Xiying released several derivative illustrations of characters from classic film and television works. When releasing these character illustrations, Bai Xiying had specially considered the pros and cons, so she deliberately chose some characters with a large fan base whose related works themselves had long been enshrined on a “divine altar”². This way, she could achieve the effect of attracting traffic the fastest without flipping the car³.

And the facts proved to be so. Her account relied on these works to accumulate a certain degree of popularity within a small scope. Although it wasn’t particularly large, Bai Xiying was not in a hurry.

She planned to be a freelance illustrator, and this was just the beginning.

Participating in the ASHY competition, Bai Xiying was not without ambition. She had long coveted the championship of this triennial event.

Once she won the championship, it would be a recognition of her abilities by many outstanding judges, and it would also be the take-off point for her new career.

The former Mu Muqing had relied on this dazzling title to climb step by step to the top. Now as Bai Xiying, she did not have the negative emotion of feeling inferior to Mu Muqing. On the contrary, the moment she thought of the tricks Mu Muqing had played regarding her participation in the competition in her past life, she couldn’t help but sneer.

The Mu Muqing of her past life was panicking, was afraid. And the reason she was so panicked and terrified that she had to use dirty tricks to trip her up was simply because she had glimpsed her ability to escape.

Thinking of this, a cold glint instantly flashed through Bai Xiying’s eyes, which had been soft and charming when facing Lin Xingzhu.

She was confident in her own abilities, but not blindly so. Bai Xiying clearly knew the principle that there is always a heaven beyond heaven, and a person beyond a person⁴, so she would definitely do her best to prepare when the time came.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiying’s fingers traced the fabric of the clothes the Guijie had brought for her. She sighed slightly, as if thinking of the loneliness of being in two different places: “When I get there, I’ll have to be separated from you.”

Lin Xingzhu, who was accompanying her in choosing, heard this and said, “It’s okay, time will pass quickly. We can usually contact each other by phone, and I can also fly over to see you on weekends.”

Bai Xiying blinked her eyes at her. “Long-distance couples always have their inconveniences.”

Lin Xingzhu instantly understood the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and she also instantly knew what that dissatisfaction was aimed at.

“……” Glancing at the Guijie who was some distance away from them picking out clothes, Lin Xingzhu said speechlessly, “Sometimes I really don’t understand how your physical constitution can be so formidable.”

She clearly looks slender, but when it comes to this sort of thing, she often has endless energy.

“……An extraordinary natural gift?” Bai Xiying pondered for a long while before giving an answer.

It was like this in her past life. Bai Xiying had been hit with aphrodisiacs several times, but she had endured it strongly. Although it ultimately left her body with some addiction to tools, Bai Xiying also discovered that when using tools, her body seemed to have endless energy and could last for a long time before being able to completely release.

Bai Xiying had also searched online about this aspect and found that other ordinary women could not last this long.

In this life, she had a girlfriend with whom she could openly and honorably engage in sticking together⁵, and in bed matters, she also had incomparably vigorous energy.

“Thinking about it that way, your physical constitution is also quite good,” Bai Xiying said. On the point of satisfying her, Lin Xingzhu had truly never fallen short.

After all, whenever Bai Xiying wanted it now, the person she looked for was always Lin Xingzhu.

Lin Xingzhu looked at her with a complicated expression, her voice gentle and strange, “Perhaps you still remember that some toys were used on your body?”

So sometimes she only needed to purely exert effort.

Bai Xiying: “……”

She shot Lin Xingzhu a look. “Didn’t you also climax in the end?”

Lin Xingzhu used toys on her, but in the end, she also put in the effort to “please” Lin Xingzhu and let her enjoy it with her.

Lin Xingzhu pinched the bridge of her nose and compromised, “Let’s not talk about this. The days are still long. There will always be a chance in the future to know where the limit is.”

Bai Xiying then stopped talking.

Her gaze silently swept over Lin Xingzhu’s soft lips. Bai Xiying thought about the “limit” she mentioned, and her eyes deepened.

Moving past this topic, the two continued to pick out clothes.

Finally, Bai Xiying took a few styles she liked and went to the fitting room under the guidance of the Guijie.

Lin Xingzhu stayed outside to wait for her. At the same time, Wen Lin, who had been sitting behind the pillar and paying attention to the situation here, finally found an opportunity when Lin Xingzhu was alone.

This is the time.

Wen Lin got up, straightened her somewhat wrinkled dress, and then slowly came to Lin Xingzhu’s side.

Looking at this woman she had met once before, Lin Xingzhu’s brows moved slightly. She straightened her body a little, and her originally leisurely temperament instantly became calm, gentle, and elegant, like the majestic azure sea, peaceful, vast, and endless.

Wen Lin’s brows lowered. Thinking that such a person was familiar with the plot and had also gotten rid of other love rivals, she felt a little guarded in her heart.

But since the other party was already familiar with the plot, it was impossible for her not to know Wen Lin.

However, as it was their first meeting, Wen Lin still made a self-introduction: “Hello, my name is Wen Lin.”

Lin Xingzhu was slightly surprised in her heart. Faced with her sudden approach and self-introduction, she immediately returned the courtesy without a moment’s hesitation: “Hello, I am Lin Xingzhu.”

Wen Lin stared at her expression without blinking. Seeing that she didn’t show a trace of surprise or curiosity one would have when greeting a “stranger,” she became even more certain of her guess that she had known all along.

Being stared at so directly by someone she didn’t know, Lin Xingzhu frowned in discomfort.

Who is this person?

Wen Lin saw her frown and the corners of her lips revealed a smile that carried no hint of aggression. “I know you.”

Lin Xingzhu looked at her.

Wen Lin knew she was waiting for her to continue. “You and your girlfriend have a very good relationship, right?”

If it wasn’t good, would they be playing a role-playing py⁶ of a play-within-a-play in a public place like a shopping mall?

Thinking of this, Wen Lin’s eyes held a subtle expression. She didn’t expect these two to play even more wildly than she did.

Heaven knows how shocked she was when she heard their conversation just now? But at the same time, it seemed as if a new direction had been opened up for Wen Lin.

She had only written about it before; she had never actually played this kind of slightly innocent trick.

Lin Xingzhu’s face remained impassive, but in her heart, she was already paying full attention to her words.

From the direction and position she had just walked from, it could be judged that this Wen Lin should have already been in this shop before she and Bai Xiying came in, yet she chose to approach her only after she was standing here alone waiting for Bai Xiying to go into the fitting room. There was clearly a problem.

If at the beginning Wen Lin might have overheard their conversation and was too embarrassed to come over and interrupt their performance, she could have perfectly well approached to say hello when they were picking out clothes just now.

But Wen Lin didn’t. Not only did she not, but she also chose to come when she was alone.

Coupled with the strange look Bai Xiying had when she saw her a few days ago, and the abnormal behavior of this Wen Lin before her today, in just a few seconds, Lin Xingzhu was already certain that this person was here for her.

Not only was she here for her, but it was also very likely that she needed to avoid Bai Xiying.

Seeing Wen Lin’s certain expression, Lin Xingzhu asked back impassively, “Yes, so what?”

Wen Lin was choked for a moment. Although she had already made a plan, when she truly faced Lin Xingzhu’s calm and self-possessed expression, a subtle displeasure still rose in her heart.

This was a flaw that came from being in a high position for a long time, where one couldn’t stand others not going along with them or not fawning over them.

And it just so happened that the Lin Xingzhu in front of her was exactly this kind of person.

Wen Lin reined in her smile a little. “Me, I just like to see lovers finally become family⁷. You and your girlfriend are a true match. No one should want to come and destroy what you have.”

This was the sentence Wen Lin had decided to say after much thought.

Since Lin Xingzhu knew she was Gong Four in the original work and would be someone who would fight with her for her girlfriend, because of this preconceived notion, Lin Xingzhu might try to deal with her like she dealt with the people before.

But what if she took the initiative to say they were a good match, hinting that she wouldn’t destroy their relationship?

As for whether Lin Xingzhu would guess that she wasn’t the original person herself because she suddenly said this, Wen Lin was not worried about that at all. She hadn’t done anything out of character; anyway, she usually enjoyed some of the original body’s hobbies. Besides, how could there be so many book transmigrators in the world? Who would think of this at the first meeting?

And what she said wasn’t direct. What’s more, she had already met Bai Xiying and hadn’t shown any tendency of being fond of her.

Therefore, after thinking it over and over, Wen Lin felt that it was still very appropriate for her to say such words.

If Lin Xingzhu insisted on acting first because of the bankruptcy plot in the novel, then Wen Lin wasn’t afraid either. Although it would be a bit troublesome and strenuous, she would let Lin Xingzhu know that even if she was “omniscient and omnipotent,” she couldn’t do whatever she wanted.

This was also the reason why Wen Lin subconsciously wanted to avoid Bai Xiying. After all, she and Lin Xingzhu came from the same place. When talking about these things, Bai Xiying, the protagonist of the book, didn’t need to be present.

Wen Lin had made her calculations well, considering everything from beginning to end. But the premise was that Lin Xingzhu had already sensed something strange from the very beginning, so when faced with such a statement, she would only feel even more peculiar.

She deliberately avoided Bai Xiying to come for me, and then said something akin to pledging loyalty.

Yes, it was pledging loyalty.

Although Wen Lin’s tone and attitude were not fawning, and her whole aura was instead arrogant and undisciplined, this could not hide the meaning contained in her words, which was like pledging loyalty.

As if she was telling her na.ked.ly—Rest assured, you and your girlfriend are such a good match, you can rest assured that I won’t go near and destroy your relationship.

But why should she be reassured because of this sentence?

Unless she knew in advance that the person in front of her would covet Bai Xiying and come to destroy her and Bai Xiying’s relationship.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingzhu slightly lowered her head, hiding her deep and contemplative eyes.
