"Sister Lin, Sister Li." Tang Xue smiled at the two of them.
The two exchanged a glance, both of them becoming even more worried because of Tang Xue's forced smile.
Lin Xin patted Tang Xue on the shoulder, "Did you have a fight with Xiao Lin?"
Tang Xue lowered her head dejectedly and told them about the matter. She was completely lost and hoped that Lin Xin and Li Siyao could give her some advice.
After hearing Tang Xue's words, Lin Xin and Li Siyao both fell silent. This situation was something they had never expected.
The two of them finally understood why Lin Xiaoxiao had that expression when she confirmed that Tang Xue would play the role of Chen Mo.
The two women understood Lin Xiaoxiao's concerns; they knew they would have the same worries if they were in her shoes.
However, Tang Xue made a mistake by keeping this from Lin Xiaoxiao. She shouldn't have kept it from her just because she was worried about Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao was already on edge because of this incident, and Tang Xue didn't even tell her the truth. Putting herself in her shoes, they would probably feel the urge to beat the other person up.
"You definitely made a mistake in this matter." Lin Xin patted Tang Xue's shoulder. "Xiao Lin was so worried about you, and you still kept it from her."
"I know." Tang Xue lowered her head even further. Right now, she really wanted to go back to the time when she had the idea of hiding it from Lin Xiaoxiao, and give herself a good beating.
"Don't worry too much. Xiaolin isn't an unreasonable person. She didn't explode here."
"It's precisely because she knows she's currently angry and won't listen to anything that she hasn't discussed this matter with you here."
After a pause, Lin Xin continued, "Go back and apologize properly, and lower your stance."
Lin Xin originally wanted to say that people should not worry about saving face, and should bow their heads or kneel down when necessary. As long as they can gain the other party's understanding, they can be shameless.
But after thinking about it, I felt that Tang Xue should already know about this, and I didn't need to explain it so clearly.
"Don't worry, Xiaolin is angry because she's worried about you." Li Siyao said in a tone of someone who's been through it all. "It's okay to conceal things with good intentions, but there are some things that absolutely cannot be hidden. You have to find the right balance."
Tang Xue nodded solemnly. After this incident, she had realized that she had definitely done something stupid.
What she thought was a well-intentioned concealment turned into a sharp sword that hurt Lin Xiaoxiao.
"You can rest here for a while, there's no need to rush back."
Lin Xiaoxiao is definitely angry right now, and Tang Xue won't get any good results if she goes back now. It's better to give Lin Xiaoxiao some time to calm down.
"I understand, Sister Lin, Sister Li, thank you." After talking with the two of them, Tang Xue was no longer so lost.
"Don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything." He patted Tang Xue on the shoulder, and the two left together.
There's not much they can do to help Tang Xue with this matter; only Tang Xue herself can solve it. There's very little they can do.
They just hoped the two of them could reconcile quickly, otherwise, given Tang Xue's condition, it would be impossible to continue filming. Her dazed and confused state was indeed quite worrying.
"Alright, you can go back now." After entering the room, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even let Li Yu into the room and directly gave him the order to leave.
"President Lin!"
"If you want to speak up for her, you don't have to. If you want to comfort me, there's no need for that either. But thank you anyway."
She was definitely angry, and it wasn't something that could be easily calmed down. For Lin Xiaoxiao, this incident was indeed a big blow.
It even made Lin Xiaoxiao wonder if she shouldn't have to care so much.
"President Lin, please get some rest." Li Yu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
She didn't consider herself a smart person, and she didn't know how to handle such a situation. Even if she wanted to comfort Lin Xiaoxiao, she couldn't find the right words.
"Thanks."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled at Li Yu, and after the other party left, she closed the door and threw herself onto the big bed in the room.
Lin Xiaoxiao buried her face in the pillow and sighed wearily. Her nostrils were filled with the familiar scent of that person. Instead of feeling at ease, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little irritated.
The next second, she got out of bed, ruffled her short hair, sat on the bed for a while in a daze, and then rushed into the bathroom.
Tang Xue originally wanted to stay on set a little longer to give Lin Xiaoxiao enough time.
After spending two hours on set, she simply couldn't force herself to stay any longer, so she asked Li Zhen for leave and hurriedly returned to her hotel.
"Come in." Glancing at the cold sweat on Tang Xue's forehead, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't offer her any of the usual concern and care. She simply gave her a light look and then turned and went into the room.
Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction made Tang Xue even more uneasy. She closed the door and followed Lin Xiaoxiao into the room.
"Little one".
"It was my fault." Tang Xue was interrupted by Lin Xiaoxiao as soon as she opened her mouth. "I've reflected on it. Although we are together now and are already in a romantic relationship..."
But you are an independent person with your own thoughts and considerations. Even as your partner, I shouldn't restrict you like this.
This was Lin Xiaoxiao's first time dating, her first time falling in love with someone, so she felt that she might not have managed the appropriate distance in her relationship with him.
Everyone needs space and freedom, and everyone has different ideas. What she might think is a cause for concern, Tang Xue might think is no big deal at all.
She was worried that the role Tang Xue had taken on would have a psychological impact on her, but Tang Xue was a professional actress.
She should know better than anyone how to adjust her mindset; perhaps she really was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Tang Xue might have kept it from me partly because she didn't want me to worry, but I also think she might have thought I was making a mountain out of a molehill and that the matter was insignificant.
It has to be said that Lin Xiaoxiao does have some pessimistic thoughts now.
"No." Tang Xue's face was full of terror. She knelt down and grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's hand. "Xiaoxiao, it's not like that. This is my fault."
"It was my oversight. I was just thinking about using this time to finish filming this part of the scenes as quickly as possible. You're working so hard, I really just didn't want you to worry."
"I know," Lin Xiaoxiao replied, a smile appearing on her face.
However, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao like this, Tang Xue was not relieved at all; instead, she became even more panicked.
"It's all my fault, Xiaoxiao, what should I do to make you feel better?"
Tang Xue truly didn't know what else she could do, and she had genuinely realized her mistakes.
"I am indeed angry." Lin Xiaoxiao tugged at the corner of her mouth. "I'm angry that you kept it from me. You didn't want me to worry, so you chose to hide it. But thinking about it carefully, maybe I put too much pressure on you."
"No, it's not like that. I didn't think it through." Tang Xue said urgently, "I have deeply realized my mistake. I swear that I will never hide anything from you again."
With a soft sigh, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Xue in front of her and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Everyone has secrets, and you can have your own secrets too."
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, a bitter look flashing across them. Yes, everyone has secrets, and she was also hiding something from Tang Xue.
"Little one!"
Tang Xue's eyes showed a hint of confusion; she didn't know why she saw a trace of self-mockery on Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
"Xiaoxue, I forgive you." Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head, cupped Tang Xue's face in her hands, and smiled gently. "I know you were afraid I would worry."
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaoxiao had forgiven herself, and she should be happy, but Tang Xue found that she wasn't too happy. Lin Xiaoxiao's state made her a little worried.
"What can I do?" Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, banishing the jumbled thoughts from her mind, and looked at Tang Xue, who was squatting in front of her, with a dissatisfied expression.
"I'll forgive you this time because you were worried about me, but if it happens again, I will never forgive you so easily."
"Of course." Tang Xue quickly raised her hand and swore, "I swear, this will never happen again. I was out of my mind this time."
Seeing Tang Xue's sincerity, Lin Xiaoxiao cupped her face and kissed her lips. "Go take a shower, you stink."
"Okay." Tang Xue had already put the strangeness she had just noticed out of her mind, and her mind was filled with excitement, with no other emotions.
Seeing Tang Xue's joyful expression, as if her hair was about to dance, Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, hoping that one day she could also be completely open with Tang Xue.
Chapter 139
===================
At eight o'clock in the morning, Tang Xue opened her eyes precisely on time. Her biological clock was always like this; even when she was extremely tired, she would wake up at this time.
Once awake, Tang Xue turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was still asleep, a gentle smile appearing on her lips. She then propped herself up on the bed and sat up.
But the next second, her face twitched violently twice, and her left hand instinctively went to support her waist.
Thinking of the madness of last night, Tang Xue's face flushed slightly, even though Lin Xiaoxiao said she forgave her.
However, she did pay a heavy price for her concealment.
Last night, Lin Xiaoxiao ignored her pleas for mercy and didn't even consider that she had to work today, taking her again and again.
Patting her burning face, Tang Xue supported her waist as she got out of bed and, step by step, somewhat laboriously, entered the bathroom.
However, Tang Xue did not realize that the person she thought was still fast asleep was actually looking at her disheveled figure with bright eyes.
Seeing the man struggling to walk while supporting his back, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a pang of heartache, but it was quickly replaced by joy.
Thinking about what happened last night, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little shy but also extremely satisfied.
She knew Tang Xue had work to do today, and she knew she shouldn't be making things difficult for Tang Xue, but she was really angry about what Tang Xue had kept from her.
Besides, she couldn't control those kinds of things, especially when faced with Tang Xue's alluring appearance. Even if she wanted to, she simply couldn't control herself.
Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard, forcing herself to banish all the images from her mind. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. In broad daylight, she couldn't be so desperate.
When Tang Xue came out of the bathroom, she saw Lin Xiaoxiao's smiling eyes.
Tang Xue paused subconsciously, and took her hands off her waist, giving Lin Xiaoxiao a smile. "You're awake. It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
"So you've actually gone to the film set?" Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze moved from her legs to her waist, and finally settled on Tang Xue's face.
Tang Xue coughed lightly, "Mm."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, "Are you sure you're in a condition where you can participate in filming? Are you sure you're not just going to delay the filming schedule?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's words made Tang Xue feel a bit of a toothache, and her hand subconsciously went to her waist again.
When she saw Lin Xiaoxiao's ambiguous gaze fixed on her waist, she quickly put her hands down. "There's still some time. I'll rest for a while."
"Take a rest for a while." These words echoed in Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth as she threw back the covers, got out of bed, walked to Tang Xue's side, put her arms around her waist, and chuckled softly, "Doesn't it hurt?"
Tang Xue's legs went weak, and she almost fell into Lin Xiaoxiao's arms. She put her hands on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulders to create some distance between them.
"It's...it's alright." As she said this, Tang Xue's face involuntarily flushed red.
Well, her condition is indeed quite bad right now. Her back is sore and achy, and even her legs feel weak.
But she couldn't just be so blunt with Lin Xiaoxiao; she had her pride too.
She had always been the one with the upper hand, but Lin Xiaoxiao's counterattack turned her into what she is now.
To be honest, this really made Tang Xue feel a little embarrassed. In her opinion, her physical strength was much better than Lin Xiaoxiao's, but in the end, she ended up like this.
