บท 33: Chapter 32: A surprise on the plane?!
Wen Jiexi and Li Lingmeng dragged their suitcases behind them as they followed Xue Molin to their plane. Xue Molin wore black sunglasses that covered most of her face and in her sexy dress, she seemed like a rich heiress going on vacation. They also blankly watched as she teased and flirted with the beautiful stewardess who was leading them, causing the stewardess to blush in embarrassment.
The two whispered quietly to each other and since they couldn't continue watching the show playing out in front of them, they turned their eyes to the plane instead. This was both their first time going on an airplane after all. They were then taken on a short tour of the inside of the plane, starting from the back. They first passed by the Economy class which was crowded with seats but good enough for the single passenger. However, there was not much leg space and you couldn't leave your seat after the plane lifted. Then they reached the business class area and the seats were double the size of the Economy class. The nice round seats also had large enough tables that could hold computers and partitioners that sectioned off each seat from the one next to them.
"And here is the first-class section. Please go in and watch your step."
Wen Jiexi immediately turned her eyes to the front when she heard the stewardess announce this. She saw that there were only eight seats in the entire area and the floor was covered in soft carpeting. The space around them seemed to shine with a soft and warm orange glow. The chairs were soft and large seats that one could lie all the way down in and there were even small flat-screen TVs in front of each seat. If you want to isolate yourself, you could simply pull a curtain. The entire area was much better by several degrees compared to the other sections they had seen.
"Wow, it's so big!" Li Lingmeng exclaimed.
"Alright, these are your plane tickets. Don't lose them. If I remember correctly, there should only be six people flying first class today. So relax and enjoy it, no one will be watching your every step." Xue Molin said as she handed them their plane tickets.
Wen Jiexi looked at her ticket and saw her seat was number 1, Li Lingmeng was number 2, and Xue Molin was number 3. They were right next to each other.
"Jixi, is this a plane? The big bird that can fly everywhere and anywhere!" Dango said excitedly and wandered around in curiosity.
Haven't you been flying all the time? Haven't the novelty worn off by now? Wen Jiexi thought humorously in her heart.
"Hmph, I'm just curious about how you humans can create these weird things. You can even create something that'll give you flight and take you into the sky." Dango said with hands on its hips.
Hehe, but aren't there more strange things to be seen from the shop?
"The shop, well, um…how should I put it….when I came to existence, they were already there. Furthermore, unless the contractor buys it, I can only look at the pictures. Unfortunately, the contractors are only willing to buy a few things and they only buy things that are related to the missions.
Isn't that natural? Just who would have the spare points and time to buy a fighter they can use? It's just unimaginable. Naturally, it would be better to buy more useful things. Not to mention the items you want to see cost several times the amount of the points for the golden missions. Who would be able to afford it? Wen Jiexi didn't know whether she should laugh or cry at Dango's complaints.
"Sister Xue, didn't you say there would be six people? The plane is about to take off, but no one is here!" Li Lingmeng turned her head and asked. Would they end up having space all to themselves then?
"How would I know?" Xue Molin said huffily. She wasn't an investigator and she was only in charge of these two. Why would she care who was flying with them or if they were coming? She was not that bored….
"This is the first-class section, please watch your step." A voice sounded. It seems that the other three passengers have finally arrived. Wen Jiexi raised her head, only to meet a pair of calm and cool eyes…This…she is…
"Goddess Su!!!!!" Li Lingmeng yelled out before Wen Jiexi could react and then promptly had her mouth covered by the Xue Molin behind her.
"Do you want everyone to storm in here?" Xue Molin said through gritted teeth. Already, they could see some people from the business class stand up because of the commotion.
"The plane is about to take off. May the three customers please sit down as soon as possible. Please ring the service bell if you need anything. We will be waiting outside at all times." The stewardess said sternly and pulled the curtain to close off the section connecting to the business class, completely blocking outsiders from peeking in.
In that empty space, the six people looked at each other,
"Long time no see." Surprisingly, it was Su Chenyu who greeted them first. She stowed her suitcase away and then took off her mask. Then she took off her loose camouflage coat and her hat, causing her hair to fall like a waterfall down to her hips.
"What a coincidence, meeting you guys again." Lin Yunxi placed all the objects Su Chenyu took off into a separate bag and greeted them with a smile.
"Yes, yes! What a coincidence!" Li Lingmeng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice as she watched Su Chenyu and others with bright eyes.
Wen Jiexi watched dumbfoundedly as Su Chenyu sat down in the seat right next to her. Su Chenyu seemed very familiar with the workings of the first-class cabin as she pressed a button and her seat slowly lengthened until it became a seat that two people could sit in comfortably. Then she looked over at Wen Jiexi and reached over to press a button on Wen Jiexi's seat. By the time she was finished, the original aisle space between the two was gone and now their seats were connected!
Ah, they're connected, connected! Wen Jiexi's mind was instantly in turmoil.
"Su…Miss Su, you are…." Wen Jiexi questioned hesitantly. Meanwhile, the eyes of the other four people were also looking their way and their mouths were wide open into a shape of an O. Su Chenyu had actually connected their seats together! She had used the main function of this first-class cabin, which was a special design targeted towards couples!
"I heard your audition was successful. I'll help you take a look at the script for you." Su Chenyu said lightly, using an excuse that sounded reasonable.
"Oh, oh! Little Su, then I leave Jiexi in your care! She often asks how to improve her acting skills and I've always told her to watch your dramas! Now you can personally teach her, it's not a bad idea." Xue Molin said with a smile.
"En…then I will need a quiet environment." Su Chenyu said and then without waiting for Wen Jiexi's opinion, she drew the curtain and cut off everyone else's sight.
Xue Molin pretended not to see a panicked and crying out for help expression the moment before the curtain completely closed. Yup, I saw nothing, nothing at all. Instead, she turned to greet Lin Yunxi and Wang Anyi,
"Hurry up and sit down, the plane is about to take off."
"Ok, thanks, Sister Xue. Lingmeng, do you mind if I sit next to you?" Lin Yunxi nodded and sat beside Li lingmeng with a smile.
"Of course not! In fact, I still have a lot of things to ask of you, Sister Lin!"
And so, the two people began chatting up a storm and a pleasant atmosphere surrounded them. However, behind them it was like a winter blizzard as Wang Anyi stood there expressionlessly and Xue Molin smiled up at her. Wang Anyi moved to sit in the chair behind Xue Molin but was stopped by Xue Molin's quick reflexes who reached out and grabbed Wang Anyi's wrist.
"Let go."
"Little Yiyi, don't be like that…it's been so long and I know our relationship is strained….but if you let your anger continue to fester, you're going to get wrinkles." Xue Molin said that with a smile but an unspeakable pain flashed in her eyes.
"…strained? No, ever since that incident, we've been nothing more than strangers." Wang Anyi sneered.
"Strangers…..but since we both work in the same company we have to see each other eventually. You don't want our working relationship to be so stiff, right?" Xue Molin's smile turned bitter.
"Sometimes I really don't understand why the precious Eldest Miss Xue even bothers. I see your behavior is still as despicable as ever." Wang Anyi snorted coldly and shook her hand out of Xue Molin's grasp. She sat beside Xue Molin but immediately drew the curtains to separate the two of them.
Xue Molin did not get angry and looked at the curtain quietly. She stared at it as if she could see the Wang Anyi inside and a trace of both satisfaction and sadness appeared in her eyes.
Meanwhile, what is happening on Su Chenyu and Wen Jiexi's side of things?
"Take out your script and show it to me." Su Chenyu stared helplessly as Wen Jiexi's expression of a startled little bird.
"O-Oh…." Wen Jiexi nodded. She thought that maybe Su Chenyu wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson because of the 'groping' incident from last time but she didn't expect Su Chenyu was actually serious about teaching her acting. She let out a sigh of relief but because of the excessive tension and then the shift to extreme relaxation….Wen Jiexi's legs….were cramped!
"What's wrong?" Su Chenyu asked as she saw the little girl freeze and her face stiffen.
"I….my leg cramped up…." Wen Jiexi said quietly.
"Huh?" Su Chenyu heard Wen Jiexi's words and leaned forward with a frown. There was little distance between the two of them originally and now she was almost clinging to Wen Jiexi. Wen Jiexi felt a sweet fragrance waft into her nose, a natural scent that wasn't tainted by perfume or cosmetics.
"Which leg is it?" Su Chenyu leaned down and couldn't find anything wrong. Then she turned to see a pair of terrified eyes looking back at her and couldn't help but pinch the other person's nose in annoyance.
"Wuwu…what..what are you doing?" Wen Jiexi whispered in an aggrieved tone.
"Where are you cramping up?" She answered back with an innocent expression and released her hand to see that the tip of the other person's nose had turned slightly pink. She couldn't help but remember that this certain someone's nickname was the Cute Little Sheep. She really does look like a cute little sheep…..she saw the video of Wen Jiexi beating someone up so Su Chenyu had no doubt about Wen Jiexi's skill. A Master in Sheep's Clothing….what a talented little fellow.
"My….my right leg…." Wen Jiexi stammered.
Su Chenyu responded by taking out her phone and snapping a photo of Wen Jiexi. She then thought about hanging a copy of it up on her wall later.
"Why did you take a picture for?!" Wen Jeixi exclaimed and reached out towards Su Chenyu's phone.
"Be good and don't move." Su Chenyu easily avoided Wen Jiexi's hand and slipped the phone into her pocket. She then patted Wen Jiexi's head soothingly while setting Wen Jiexi's right leg onto her lap.
Wuwuwu….my shamefulness has been recorded! I can't even delete it! Does that mean she's going to put it on the internet? Is this the Film Princess's devious way of getting revenge? Wen Jiexi wanted to cry but no tears came out. Of course, it wouldn't be difficult for her to use her strength to steal the phone but she was reluctant to use it on Su Chenyu. Why? Because she liked the other? While Wen Jiexi was conflicted in her heart, she felt a jolt of stimulation in her numb leg that caused her to gasp.
"Hiss…"
"Eh? Does it hurt? Bear with me and it will pass by quickly." Su Chenyu heard Wen Jiexi's gasp and comforted her. She then rubbed Wen Jiexi's legs more gently but as she continued to do so, her brows furrowed,
"Do you exercise a lot every day?"
"Yup! At least three hours a day." Wen Jiexi nodded.
"And you never warm-up or take proper breaks, do you?"
"Ah…? I-I guess not…" Wen Jiexi scratched her head. Her body always felt fine afterward and she always threw herself into her workout without proper rest or warm-ups in between. Her body had endless energy and her endurance was definitely better than the average person so it was no problem for her to exercise at least four or five hours a day.
"Do you know your muscles are hard and stiff right now? It's standard to let your muscles relax more so you don't get knots in them. Although you are not the type to get bulky, your muscles still can become hard. The intensity of your exercise will accumulate negative effects slowly and cause your muscles to become stiff and unmovable later on. If you don't have the time to do it yourself, you should still find someone to help you massage and relax your muscles."
Wen Jiexi watched blankly as Su Chenyu lectured her and continued to move up her leg. Then Su Chenyu tried to lift her clothes and she quickly grabbed the other's hand,
"You…what are you doing?"
"I know a few massage techniques that will help you. You'll have plenty of time later to study your script, for now, you should relax. Furthermore, it's easier to massage a larger area if you take off your shirt." Saying so, Su Chenyu moved away to take out what looks like a jar of essential oil from the bag beside her. She then pressed another button and the back of the chair slowly decided so that Wen Jiexi was now lying flat on it. She then rubbed the oil into her hands and then glanced at the still frozen Wen Jiexi. She raised an eyebrow.
"Turn around and lie down."
"Oh…." Wen Jiexi flipped around quickly.
"Did I tell you to take off your shirt? Forget it, take off all your clothes." Su Chenyu said.
"Eh? But…" Wen Jiexi fidgeted with her collar with some hesitation.
"You and I have the same parts, what are you being shy for?" She looked down at the little girl who was acting as a blushing bride and felt an urge to squeeze that cute little face. If it weren't for the oil on her hands, she would've done just that.
After thinking about it, she felt what Su Chenyu said was right. Not to mention, the other was the big shot Film Princess and she was also offering a massage. It was a glorious opportunity that she cannot miss out on! Wen Jiexi felt secretly happy and then she took off all her clothes but her bra and underwear, setting them down in a neat pile before she turned back down on her stomach again. She didn't notice Su Chenyu's movements stop when she revealed her figure.
This little fellow's figure is not bad….white and tender skin….that thin little waist, oh….her chest looks bigger too. Su Chenyu observed as she slowly slid her hands down Wen Jiexi's back.
Wen Jiexi: I'm forced to eat papaya every day and Xue Molin always offers to do a chest massage too! If they didn't grow I would cry, alright? QAQ
Wen Jiexi was lying on her stomach against her now flat chair and felt very comfortable as she lay there. She idly thought about how Goddess Su is a good person and began to fall asleep when….
"Wuuah!"
"See how hard your shoulders are! You must rub out all the knots!" Su Chenyu pressed Wen Jiexi's acupuncture points and although her touch was neither light nor hard, Wen Jiexi felt sore beyond belief. Is this the so-called muscle stiffness?!
"Ahhhn….Miss Su…can we please not rub the shoulders anymore?" Wen Jiexi raised her head with tears in her eyes.
En…Miss Su? Su Chenyu felt uncomfortable with this tile. This was the third time they had met and should be considered friends, right? So why was she still being called Miss Su? Then what would be better….Sister Su?
"Don't call me Miss Su in the future, call me Sister Su. I'm not that much older than you…"
"W-why….wuah! I got it, I got it! Su…Sister Su! Sister Su, can you please be gentler…" With the sudden change of topic, Wen Jiexi subconsciously responded but then felt a burst of pain on the right side of her shoulder that was more powerful than before. She immediately changed the title. I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll call you anything you like! I'll call you anything, even gorgeous beauty Su! Just stop the pain! QAQ
"Ok. Remember, if you knead it out now, a masseuse will still have to knead it out for you later. So relax, it won't hurt at all after a while…" Su Chenyu showed a rare smile when Wen Jiexi changed her title and patted the helpless Wen Jiexi warmly.
"It's not just your shoulders we need to smooth out, but your arms and thighs too. If you can bear with it and endure it, it will pass by more quickly. Your muscles are tight so it might be more painful than normal people…"
Wuaaaah! Someone save me!
While the two of them were busy with their massage, they did not realize the four people outside glance at one another. For although the curtains in the first-class cabin had sound insulation, it was not completely soundproof. Especially now when the plane has already lifted off and everyone is quietly doing their own things. So any sound made during this quiet atmosphere was more obvious than usual.
"What are you doing?…. Why? …Waaah…Su….Sister Su! Sister Su….Ahhhhh…mmmm….en…" This was Wen Jiexi's voice.
"Take it off…why are you being shy for….you're so tight…relax…it won't hurt after a while…if you tense up like that it will hurt more…."
What is going on in there?! Didn't you say you were studying the script? Then what are these weird words accompanied with such weird moans?!
The two assistants, Lin Yunxi and Li Lingmeng couldn't say anything and could only look back at their agents. Xue Molin's expression was strange but her eyes revealed her mirth and to her surprise Wang Anyi beside her had opened her curtain. She looked at the curtains with eyes that said 'I don't believe this' and stared intensely at the section upfront.
Ten minutes later…the sounds still haven't stopped. Wang Anyi finally couldn't take it anymore and storm towards the curtain. The other three held their breath as they watched Wang Anyi take a deep breath and flight open the curtains. She was met with Wen Jiexi's tearful and reddened face. However, Su Chenyu also noticed her and had quickly thrown Wen Jiexi's clothes on top of the revealed skin. She had a feeling her terrified little sheep wouldn't like other people other than Su Chenyu watching. Perhaps the atmosphere was ruined because she looked at the person who disturbed them with icy cold eyes.
Wang Anyi's gaze met Su Chenyu's and she immediately shivered as she said dryly,
"Sorry to disturb you, please continue." After saying so, she quickly closed the curtain.
"Little…Litte Su and Jiexi, what are they doing? They couldn't really be…" Lin Yunxi asked cautiously. It couldn't be what she was thinking right…. Little Su is really…but no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like Little Su was forcing herself onto the other! Although she very much approves of Little Su winning over Jiexi, if the President finds out….he will be furious! He is a sis-con after all…
"It's. Just. A. Massage." Wang Anyi glared at Lin Yunxi as she said these words through gritted teeth and then drew her curtains.
Lin Yunxi: Is Sister Wang on her period? Why does she seem extra furious today?
Li Lingmeng: Phew, good. I thought Goddess Su was some kind of big bad wolf!
Xue Molin: Ah…to be young again…so envious…
The plane finally landed at their destination. For others, it was just the beginning or end of their journey, but for Wen Jiexi it was her chance to escape those horrific claws. She dragged her sore body down the stairs and they bid farewell to Su Chenyu's group. Outside the airport, Old Wang was already waiting for them.
As soon as they go into the car, Li Lingmeng asked Wen Jiexi excitedly,
"Little Xi, so did Goddess Su actually help you?"
"Yes…" Wen Jiexi nodded.
"Good! I wish I could receive one from her too! If the Goddess opens a SPA, I would go there every day! Ah! I want a massage too!" Li Lingmeng looked enviously at Wen Jiexi.
Still feeling the pain and soreness from her aching body, Wen Jiexi quietly patted Li Lingmeng's shoulder,
"You can try it out yourself. You will feel happy to be alive afterward…."
"Huh? Goddess Su's technique is that good?!"
Yes…you will feel happy you made it out alive from that pain…
"We got news from the crew. It seems that we ran into another show's crew. Although the settings for their scenes will not be the same, there is limited accommodation due to the remote location. They're going to mix up the accommodation between the two crews and since the artist and assistant are usually separated, you might have to share a room with a stranger." Xue Molin hung up the phone and explained.
"Eh, we ran into another crew? I'm fine with living with another stranger, after all it's only for a few days." Li Lingmeng waved her hand and Wen Jiexi nodded in agreement. However, Wen Jiexi would soon learn this was not a coincidence, but a work of fate.
It was over an hour's journey through the mountain to reach their hotel. When they parked, they looked up to see a large five-story hotel. There were already around twenty cars around and it seemed a lot of people were here already. There were some other buildings around it, but simple buildings like a convenience store. It was no wonder the two crews had to live together, for there was nothing around here. Although the environment was really nice and they were surrounded by plants and fresh air.
"You're here!" A woman who she met before came over.
"Miss Xiu Lan." Wen Jiexi greeted.
"Hello. Jiexi, I'm glad you were able to sort out your difficulties and participate in our shooting." Xiu Lan smiled and then reached out a friendly hand towards Xue Molin.
"Long time no see, Sister Xue."
"Hello, hello. So when does the crew start shooting?" Xue Molin asked as she shook Xiu Lan's hands.
"We begin tomorrow but Jiexi doesn't start her first scene until two days later. Since you've all arrived and it is your first time on a set, it will be better if you come along with us to familiarize yourself with the process." Xue Lan led the three of them into the hotel. The hotels were nice and tidy and there was a big space for everyone to gather in. There was a kitchen in the back and even rooms that were labeled 'dressing room' next to it.
Xiu Lan led them to the second floor and pointed at the rooms,
"Most of our crew is on the second floor and the other crew is on the third floor. As for the actors, agents, and assistants, they are on the third or fourth floor. Some are two-person rooms and some are three-person rooms. We've already discussed everything with the other crew and were able to accommodate everyone. However, I am sorry that we have to separate all of you." Xiu Lan said apologetically. For them to have run into another crew unexpectedly was their fault, for that meant they did not do a good job with the planning.
'It's okay, Miss Xiu Lan. We're fine with it." Wen Jiexi said with a smile.
'That's great. Alright, here is your room key, please don't lose it." Xiu Lan handed them their key cards and according to the number on hers, Wen Jiexi was on the fifth floor but Li Lingmeng and Xue Molin were on the fourth.
"You guys can go clean up first, just come to me if you have any problems."
"Alright, kids, let's go!" Xue Molin yelled and started moving.
Wen Jiexi raised her card and saw the number 506 on it. She walked off the elevator and found the room she was staying in. From the other end of the hallway, another person walked up and Wen Jiexi's eyes couldn't help widen while her chin fell off.
"What a coincidence." Standing in front of her and holding a keycard with the same room number as her was the woman she had just parted ways with at the airport, Su Chenyu!
Miss Xiu Lan, I have a big problem over here!
