The Best Actress is the Darling of My Heart

Chapter 24 part 1

“But…”

While Qian Lingling had some hesitation, Xia Shutong, in her drowsiness, responded with a soft “Mmm,” noticeably leaning closer to Yun Feiwu.

It was clearly in agreement with Yun Feiwu’s suggestion.

“Then I’ll head back now. Thank you, Miss Yun,” Qian Lingling exited the room, taking the opportunity to close the door behind them.

Once back in her own room, Qian Lingling furrowed her brow in puzzlement. Since when did Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu become so close? She hadn’t observed any interactions between them. Could it be that their interconnected suite rooms facilitated numerous private interactions?

However, Qian Lingling didn’t dwell on it. After all, if it were work-related, Xia Shutong would naturally inform her. If it were personal matters, she had no right to inquire.

As the door to the room closed, Xia Shutong clung to Yun Feiwu, her head rubbing against Yun Feiwu’s chin, and finally she looked up with a soft, gentle smile.

“Mmm… Maomao, say something,” Xia Shutong pouted dissatisfiedly, her octopus-like limbs snuggling closer to Yun Feiwu.

Yun Feiwu licked her lips, her mouth dry, unable to utter a word.

However, due to the influence of alcohol, Xia Shutong was becoming increasingly weak, her initial clinginess to Yun Feiwu was gradually loosening.

Yun Feiwu quickly wrapped her arms around Xia Shutong’s waist, effortlessly lifting her up and walking towards the bed.

Clearly accustomed to being carried like a princess, Xia Shutong remained unfazed, even humming contentedly a couple of times, nestling further into Yun Feiwu’s embrace.

“Maomao?” Xia Shutong was gently placed on the bed, tilting her head obediently and speaking softly with a hint of confusion, “Sleep?”

“…Not yet.”

Yun Feiwu took a deep breath, her expression finally calming down, and the bitterness in her throat subsiding. “Ruan Ruan, you’ve been drinking. You should take a bath first, okay?”

Although Xia Shutong was exuding a strong smell of alcohol, Yun Feiwu didn’t find it unpleasant. On the contrary, she quite enjoyed it.

She liked the adorable and fuzzy Xiao Shutong in this slightly tipsy state.

“Oh, okay,” Xia Shutong obediently nodded, wobbling her feet a bit, “I’m out of energy. Maomao, can you help me undress?”

“Um…” Yun Feiwu’s fingers trembled for a moment. She then discreetly squatted down in front of Xia Shutong, gently gripping her ankle.

“Snap, snap,” the sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed as they fell.

Xia Shutong flopped softly onto the bed, casually wiggling her legs.

As Yun Feiwu rose, she noticed Xia Shutong lying on the bed with innocent clear eyes, completely defenseless. Her hair was tousled and her face slightly flushed.

This pose and expression were particularly seductive.

“Ruan Ruan… sit up first, we’ll change clothes,” Yun Feiwu, avoiding direct eye contact, gently tugged at Xia Shutong’s arm. However, unable to resist, she cautiously asked, “Ruan-ruan, do you really… remember who I am?”

Xia Shutong followed the force of Yun Feiwu’s arm, slowly sitting up. She wrapped her hands around Yun Feiwu’s neck and instinctively stroked her long hair.

“Of course, I remember… you’re Maomao.”

Xia Shutong’s voice was innocent and sweet, yet Yun Feiwu keenly sensed a trace of confusion.

Yun Feiwu let out a silent sigh in her heart, refraining from asking further questions. She carefully settled down beside Xia Shutong, helping her unzip the dress little by little.

Her fair skin was suddenly exposed to the air, and Xia Shutong appeared delicate. Her waistline was distinctly visible — well-defined and slender. Bathed in the warm, golden light of the hotel room, a layer of ambiguous radiance added to her allure. Particularly intriguing were the faint shadows that played around her waist indentation, as though inviting exploration and caress.

And then… her legs.

Xia Shutong, who was drunk, didn’t mind at all, but Yun Feiwu’s cheeks which were like mist gradually turned rosy.

Speaking of which, in the past few years as they grew up, they met less than ten times a year. So, every time they met, they were almost always doing… well, things that adults should do.

Moreover, during the initial stages of their relationship, Xia Shutong was always shy. As a result, Yun Feiwu often took advantage of her intoxicated state to engage in certain activities. And from what Yun Feiwu remembered, intoxicated Xia Shutong was always particularly enthusiastic.

So now, Yun Feiwu couldn’t help but think more.

Sensing Yun Feiwu’s hesitation, Xia Shutong turned her head in confusion and poked her cheek with her finger. “Hey… Maomao, why are you blushing? Did you drink too?”

After saying that, she leaned in closer to Yun Feiwu and sniffed.

Her soft and gentle breath sprinkled on Yun Feiwu’s chin, tickling her.

“I didn’t drink,” Yun Feiwu casually grabbed a towel from the bed and wrapped it around her. Then, she pulled her close, draping an arm over her shoulder, and said softly, “Ruan-ruan, shall we take a bath?”

In the past, when Xia Shutong got drunk, although she behaved obediently just like now, doing whatever Yun Feiwu said, she could sense that something was missing in her.

Perhaps Xia Shutong hadn’t truly recognized Yun Feiwu, maybe it was just a vague impression lingering in her subconscious after getting drunk? Well, who knew?

Compared to her drunken state before losing her memory, the current Xia Shutong resembled more of a child. Whoever she felt close to in her subconscious, she would listen to that person.

So, if something were to happen between them now… it would be taking advantage of her vulnerable state.

Suppressing the desire to get a little closer in her heart, Yun Feiwu coaxed Xia Shutong into the bathroom, filled the tub with water, and had her sit in it first. Then, she undressed and joined her.
