Chapter 53

There were still a few shots to be filmed, so Sheng Qingli and Pei Qingci couldn’t leave immediately.

It was still drizzling outside, and the artificial rain had stopped. The courtyard was damp, and Sheng Qingli wrapped in a blanket and jacket stood in the corridor to get some fresh air, trying to lower her body temperature.

She tilted her head slightly and saw a man not far away, drinking ice water with his head tilted back, his face flushed and his lips a bit dry.

“Tong Tong.”

“What’s up, Lili?” Tong Tong was holding a thermos.

Sheng Qingli looked at her steadily and shook her head slowly. “It’s nothing.”

She didn’t ask Tong Tong to find ice water and took a few sips of the ginger tea in the thermos before handing it back to her.

“Give me my phone,” Sheng Qingli said softly.

Tong Tong handed it to her.

She took it and glanced at the man who was also looking at the rain while getting some fresh air. “…Are you okay?”

Pei Qingci: “Do you want to hear the truth?”

Sheng Qingli: “.”

Pei Qingci: “I can control it, but it’s not good.”

Just moments ago, the two had hidden under the covers, and the outside world could only speculate and imagine. With the faint light coming in from outside, he could see everything clearly.

She straddled him, her cheeks flushed, her eyes misty. As she raised her hand to take off her clothes, revealing her delicate collarbone, the strapless top she wore accentuated her curves. When she leaned in to kiss him, their chests pressed together, and their bodies felt a tingling sensation.

Sheng Qingli was like a sprite in the dark night, easily igniting the bad elements within him.

…

Thinking of the scene that just flashed in his mind, Pei Qingci took another sip of ice water.

He actually wanted to smoke a bit, but Sheng Qingli didn’t like it. They still had a few shots to finish, and smoking would leave a smell, which wouldn’t be good for her.

Sheng Qingli: “If drinking water doesn’t help, you can have a smoke.”

Pei Qingci: “I won’t.”

Sheng Qingli: “I don’t mind a little smell.”

She wasn’t completely averse to the smell of smoke; at least when Pei Qingci smoked, she didn’t dislike it as much.

It was strange, perhaps because Pei Qingci paid attention to hygiene. When he smoked, he didn’t have that particularly unpleasant odor, just a slightly bitter note.

Pei Qingci: “I mind.”

He was going to kiss her soon.

Pei Qingci insisted, and Sheng Qingli stopped trying to persuade him.

After standing there for a while, Pei Qingci urged her, “Go rest inside first. I’ll be in shortly.”

Sheng Qingli: “I’ll wait for you.”

When Sheng Qingli returned to the room, the bed still looked the same.

Wan Hongru turned to look at her and chatted with her for a bit.

“We need to reshoot a kiss scene between you and Qingci. You can be on top, or he can be,” Wan Hongru said quietly. “This kiss is afterwards, if you understand what I mean.”

Sheng Qingli nodded gently.

After a moment, Pei Qingci came back.

Wan Hongru said the same thing to him.

…

The intensity in the room stopped.

Only the residual warmth remained, rising.

Heng Yi’s veined arms emerged from under the dark quilt, creating an unspoken tension.

Sang Xue lay in his arms.

After a moment of silence, when Sang Xue was about to get up and leave, Heng Yi suddenly pulled her back. She fell back into his embrace, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and pleasure, her body growing warm.

“Mr. Heng, you haven’t—”

Heng Yi didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence.

He lowered his head and directly sealed her lips with his.

The camera zoomed in, magnifying the moment their lips touched.

The nearby staff could clearly see Sang Xue’s slightly moving lips fitting perfectly against Heng Yi’s thin ones.

Then, Heng Yi gently bit Sang Xue’s lower lip, leading to a teasing entanglement of their tongues.

They kissed deeply and passionately.

The sound of their kissing was more enticing than the bed scene they had filmed earlier. The quilt crumpled again as their kisses reignited it, and the mingled sounds of their breaths made hearts race.

In the past, people mostly heard the women’s gasps and soft moans.

They rarely knew of the hushed restraint of a man’s breath, which was deeper and more arousing.

…

They filmed the kiss scene twice.

When Wan Hongru called for a stop, Sheng Qingli couldn’t help but bury her face in Pei Qingci’s embrace for a few seconds before blushing and pulling away.

Pei Qingci was the same.

After both of them left, a staff member raised his hand to touch his nose and said, “…It’s the first time I’ve seen such a kiss scene.”

“I have a feeling that after this scene airs on the big screen, Mr. Pei and Ms. Sheng’s fan clubs will go wild.”

“Who’s to say? Even I felt a little like falling in love after watching.”

“…”

The staff couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

Some also sighed, “…No wonder they were partners before; the chemistry in that kiss scene was too perfect.”

As if they were truly a couple in the past. Even after being apart for many years, the familiarity of their bodies remained when they engaged in intimate actions again.

The other person’s tongue ventured out, and the other party would naturally open their mouth in response.

---

By the time the work wrapped up that night, it was already two in the morning.

Sheng Qingli’s car was in front, and Pei Qingci’s car was behind. The rain was still falling, and Sheng Qingli stared at the raindrops outside, her heartbeat a bit irregular.

She bit her lip and lowered her eyes to send a message to the person in the car behind: “… Is this okay?”

When they separated, Pei Qingci clearly reacted.

That’s how it is when filming scenes like this.

Even if two people aren’t particularly familiar with each other, it’s unavoidable. Especially since they were a couple who understood each other deeply.

A few seconds after sending the message, Sheng Qingli received a string of numbers from Pei Qingci.

Her breath hitched, her palms grew slightly warm as she licked her lips: “Is this… the top presidential suite?”

Pei Qingci: “Mm.”

Sheng Qingli: “Aren’t you being a bit extravagant?”

Pei Qingci: “Convenient.”

Not extravagant at all.

Sheng Qingli had nothing to say.

She lowered her eyelashes: “Oh.”

Pei Qingci: “See you soon?”

Sheng Qingli: “Mm.”

Some things didn’t require prior discussion between the two.

The exchange of glances at the film set was enough for them.

Sheng Qingli knew what Pei Qingci wanted, and she wanted it too. At that moment, she suddenly understood a little why some actors easily get into character during filming and choose to date their co-stars.

Back in her room, before she could tidy up, Pei Qingci’s message came through.

She paused for a moment, thought for a bit: “I’ll grab a piece of clothing.”

The two of them arrived at the top floor, entering the presidential suite one after the other.

The moment the door closed, Pei Qingci could no longer restrain himself and kissed her lips.

The suppressed desire erupted at that instant.

Sheng Qingli stood on her tiptoes to respond to him.

They kissed fiercely, stumbling over each other.

The sound of rain outside intertwined with the sounds of their unrestrained kisses; they didn’t even have time to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Pei Qingci held Sheng Qingli in his arms, his grip on her arms making his muscles visibly stand out.

She was already becoming damp.

He captured her soft, rosy lips, making her taste him.

The two were intimately connected, neither willing to let go.

Sheng Qingli felt a bit uncomfortable, her brows slightly furrowed, wanting the person holding her to move just a little.

Receiving her cue, Pei Qingci asked in a deep voice, “Is it okay if I carry you to the shower like this?”

Before Sheng Qingli could answer, he was already holding her and bumpily making his way to the bathroom in the spacious, bright suite.

Pei Qingci was anxious.

He rarely showed his emotions so overtly and fiercely.

They had both waited too long.

The first time was unbearable.

After coming out of the bathroom, Pei Qingci regained his patience, kissing the person in his arms from top to bottom.

Sheng Qingli, unable to bear it, wanted to grasp him but lacked the strength. All she could do was let out teasing little moans, like a little kitten, captivating his heart.

“…”

After a while, Pei Qingci leaned his forehead against hers, indulging in their intimacy again, “Do you want to change positions?”

Sheng Qingli was a bit slow to respond, asking in a daze, “What?”

Pei Qingci lifted her up, sitting her in his lap.

Sheng Qingli suddenly understood; he wanted her… to learn from Sang Xue.

On her snow-white skin were shallow kiss marks; under the dim yellow light, Pei Qingci looked at the person straddling him, the visual impact was immense.

His body tensed up.

He gazed at her, long hair cascading down, charming and alluring, with watery eyes looking back at him. His gaze darkened, and he swallowed hard, “Li Li…”

He called her.

Sheng Qingli could feel the burning gaze on her, as if he wanted to devour her.

Her cheeks flushed, skin heating up, “… Got it.”

Sheng Qingli slowly kissed him, feeling everything about him.

The temperature in the room gradually rose.

Their moving lips pressed together, causing Pei Qingci’s eyes to heat up.

He appreciated Sheng Qingli’s innocence, his eyes deep like a pool, “Do you want me to help?”

Sheng Qingli was struggling a bit.

“No.” Pei Qingci didn’t expect Sheng Qingli to refuse; she shot him a playful glance, “You’re not allowed to move.”

Pei Qingci paused, then softly agreed.

He wouldn’t move; this matter was entirely in her hands.

But Sheng Qingli was really too slow, making Pei Qingci feel tormented.

Time passed, and finally, when Pei Qingci touched the soft, moist spot, he lifted his hand to caress Sheng Qingli’s waist, lifting her body upwards.

“Mm…”

Unable to control herself, Sheng Qingli let out a low, needy moan.

Pei Qingci heard it, his breath becoming hurried.

He kissed her lips again, swallowing her whimper.

The two were even more closely intertwined.

It seemed he wanted to break her, plunging deeper, stirring more pronounced reactions from Sheng Qingli; she trembled and screamed.

It was hard to tell whether the tears on her face were from pleasure or sweat.

They became sticky all over.

The bath was for naught.

The bed was impossible to sleep in after their tossing and turning; the sheets were damp, and there was a slightly unpleasant smell in the room.

Pei Qingci carried Sheng Qingli to another room, washed up again, and went to bed.

Outside, the rain had stopped at some point.

Pei Qingci looked at the person sleeping, satisfied, and kissed her lips, “Good night.”

Sheng Qingli sensed something and snuggled closer to him.

The previous night had been too lively, and the next day, the two of them unexpectedly slept until noon.

When Sheng Qingli woke up, everything was fine except for a slight soreness in a certain private area.

Thinking about Pei Qingci’s perverse methods from last night and the lewd, shameless words he whispered in her ear made Sheng Qingli feel a bit embarrassed.

Who could have imagined that the aloof and ascetic Mr. Pei could be so shameless in private?

While Sheng Qingli was lost in thought, the door was pushed open.

Their eyes met.

Pei Qingci approached her. “When did you wake up?”

He sat on the edge of the bed, gazing down at her with deep eyes.

Sheng Qingli glanced at him with a hint of resentment. “Just now.”

Receiving her complaint, Pei Qingci smiled softly and leaned down to kiss her lips. “Are you hungry?”

“I’m thirsty,” Sheng Qingli replied, her voice a bit hoarse. She had called out too many times last night.

Pei Qingci understood and laughed lightly, pressing his face against her cheek. “I guessed it.”

She had lost too much fluid last night.

There was warm water he had prepared nearby. He picked it up and softly asked, “Should I feed you?”

Hearing his laughter made Sheng Qingli’s ears heat up, reminding her of his words when he had confronted her yesterday.

What was it? Something like “Qingli really is quite wet.”

He had known this before, but last night, she seemed even more so than usual.

“……”

Pei Qingci dared to say things Sheng Qingli didn’t quite dare to hear.

After a moment of silence, she firmly rejected him. “No, I’ll drink it myself.”

Pei Qingci smiled and didn’t insist.

After Sheng Qingli finished drinking and soothed her throat, Pei Qingci asked softly, “Want to wash up?”

Sheng Qingli responded with a “Hmm,” asking, “What time is it?”

They also had filming in the afternoon, which was why they had been so reckless last night.

Pei Qingci replied, “It’s eleven.”

As expected.

“How should we have lunch?” Sheng Qingli asked, feeling a bit hungry.

Pei Qingci suggested, “I can have the hotel deliver food?”

Sheng Qingli blinked. “Do they know you…”

“They don’t know,” Pei Qingci reassured her, kissing the corner of her lips. “Don’t worry. I know the hotel owner, and the room was arranged by him.”

Sheng Qingli was taken aback. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

She had been worried for so long.

It didn’t matter if their relationship was exposed; what mattered was the fact that they had made two beds wet in one night. If this were to get out, Sheng Qingli felt she wouldn’t be able to stay in the entertainment industry.

Pei Qingci gently kissed her finger, looking innocent. “You didn’t ask me last night either.”

Sheng Qingli: “…”

She hadn’t had the chance!

---

While washing up, the hotel restaurant delivered the food.

When Sheng Qingli came out of the bathroom, the staff had already left.

The two enjoyed a lunch that felt like it existed only for them.

After they finished eating, Sheng Qingli looked at Pei Qingci. “I’ll head down first.”

Pei Qingci nodded, massaging her waist. “If you’re uncomfortable, we can go to the set later.”

He was filming first in the afternoon.

Sheng Qingli responded vaguely, “Got it.”

Before leaving, Pei Qingci couldn’t help but kiss her lips again, his voice filled with laughter. “Ms. Sheng, see you later.”

“……”

In the afternoon, Pei Qingci and Sheng Qingli pretended that nothing had happened, calmly appearing on set.

When Cen Jie came over to rehearse with Sheng Qingli, she couldn’t help but tease her. “I heard about what happened last night when I got to the set today.”

Sheng Qingli: “What?”

Cen Jie smiled, pursing her lips. “Your scene with Mr. Pei last night.”

“……” Sheng Qingli felt a bit embarrassed. “Did you watch it?”

Cen Jie replied, “No, Brother Ye and I wanted to watch it, but Director Wan refused us.”

Sheng Qingli blinked. “Director Wan refused?”

“Yeah,” Cen Jie said. “Director Wan said to wait until it’s released; there will be surprises.”

Sheng Qingli froze, vaguely understanding that maybe Pei Qingci had said something to Director Wan. She could accept shooting more daring scenes but felt a bit shy about them being shown on the big screen.

Pei Qingci knew this, which is why he let Director Wan keep it a secret for now.

Thinking of this, Sheng Qingli comforted Cen Jie. “It’s better to watch it after the release; watching it now will make me embarrassed.”

Cen Jie chuckled. “Alright, we’ll wait until it’s released to watch it.”

After the intense scene, Sheng Qingli and Pei Qingci continued filming several intimate scenes.

The relationship between Sang Xue and Heng Yi gradually deepened.

During this time, Sang Xue’s mother passed away.

After completing her mother’s funeral, the neighbors around them learned about Sang Xue and Heng Yi’s relationship.

At that time, people were not as open-minded as they are now, and the neighbors began to criticize Sang Xue.

Heng Yi, worried that Sang Xue wouldn’t handle the rumors well, suggested taking her out to relax.

Sang Xue fell silent for a long time and then said, “I want to go to Germany.”

Heng Yi was taken aback but agreed.

When Sheng Qingli and their crew went to Germany, there was only half a month left until the New Year.

After arriving in Berlin, Heng Yi took Sang Xue to places where he had lived and to the hospital for treatment.

They stayed in Berlin for a while.

Sang Xue became much more cheerful, and Heng Yi would often watch her from the window.

“Is there anywhere else you want to go?”

Heng Yi asked, holding Sang Xue’s hand.

Sang Xue thought for a moment. “I want to see Switzerland. Didn’t you live there before?”

Heng Yi nodded. “Sure.”

When they went to Switzerland to film, there were still two days left until the New Year in China.

Sheng Qingli and Pei Qingci had long been accustomed to not returning home for the New Year, so they didn’t feel any reluctance about it.

The crew members were not much different.

However, on the day of the domestic New Year, Wan Hongru didn’t schedule any filming and gave everyone a two-day holiday.

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

These two days off were hard-won, and Pei Qingci asked Sheng Qingli if there were any places she wanted to go.

Since they were far away in Switzerland, they weren’t worried about being spotted by fans.

Sheng Qingli thought for a moment and said, “I’m fine with anything. Just a little tour nearby is good.”

Pei Qingci replied, “Okay.”

With the two-day holiday, they could take a short trip nearby.

After discussing it, Sheng Qingli still called Lin Lin to inform her about going on a trip with Pei Qingci.

Lin Lin had no objections, just reminding her, “You can’t let your guard down abroad; at least wear a mask.”

Sheng Qingli chuckled, “I will.”

Lin Lin said, “Happy New Year.”

Sheng Qingli smiled, “Happy New Year, Sister Lin.”

After finishing the call with Lin Lin, the doorbell rang.

When Sheng Qingli opened the door, she was not surprised to see Pei Qingci standing outside.

“What are you doing here?” Sheng Qingli asked, surprised.

Pei Qingci teased, “Don’t you want to see me?”

He asked this intentionally.

Sheng Qingli was momentarily at a loss for words, “Mr. Pei, please come in.”

Pei Qingci smiled.

He was there to discuss travel arrangements with her.

The two planned to leave early the next morning, drive to Interlaken to explore, soak in the local atmosphere, and then head to Jungfrau Niangniang.

Pei Qingci knew that Sheng Qingli wanted to go.

“Are we the only ones going?” Sheng Qingli suddenly remembered something important, “Should we ask the assistant?”

“I’ve already asked Fang Li.”

Pei Qingci replied, “You can check with your assistant.”

Sheng Qingli agreed.

It was not surprising at all; Tong Tong didn’t want to be a third wheel.

Moreover, she told Sheng Qingli that she and Fang Li had made plans with a few other crew members to join a small local tour for two days.

When they hung up, Tong Tong wished Sheng Qingli and Pei Qingci a great time.

With the assistant not going, Sheng Qingli and Pei Qingci sneakily left the hotel early the next morning.

In Switzerland, they didn’t need to be as tense and anxious as they were back home.

It had been a long time since Sheng Qingli had gone out to play with Pei Qingci. Sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside, she sighed, “I suddenly want to take a long vacation.”

Pei Qingci raised an eyebrow, “Where do you want to go next?”

Sheng Qingli smiled, looking at him with crescent eyes, “Where I go, will Mr. Pei follow me?”

Pei Qingci gave a definite answer, “Of course.”

Wherever his girlfriend went, he would go too.

Hearing his answer, Sheng Qingli’s lips curled up slightly, “Mr. Pei.”

“Yes?”

“Are you finding it hard to live without me now?” Sheng Qingli teased him.

To her surprise, Pei Qingci’s answer stunned her.

“Did you just notice?” Pei Qingci asked calmly, “I thought I was being very obvious.”

Sheng Qingli was taken aback, opening her mouth, “You’re saying that…”

Pei Qingci glanced at her, “Are you feeling pressure?”

“Not exactly pressure.” Sheng Qingli thought for a moment, “I’m just contemplating, what merit do I have?”

Pei Qingci chuckled, squeezing her fingers, “That’s something I should say.”

What merit did he have to have such a beautiful and talented girlfriend like Sheng Qingli?

Upon hearing him say this, Sheng Qingli jokingly asked, “Is my figure not good?”

Pei Qingci quickly added, “A girlfriend who is not only beautiful but also has a good figure and excellent acting skills.”

Sheng Qingli was satisfied, “Now that’s more like it.”

Pei Qingci smirked.

Touched by the smile in his eyes, the self-absorbed Sheng Qingli couldn’t help but grin.

On the way, Sheng Qingli took the time to do her makeup.

Considering that it was New Year’s Eve back home, she asked Pei Qingci to take more photos of her since she wanted to post on Weibo that night.

Pei Qingci was very good at photography; he didn’t have a typical male aesthetic. His photography skills rivaled those of some professional photographers.

Under his lens, Sheng Qingli looked vibrant and stunning.

They took many pictures.

Suddenly inspired, Sheng Qingli looked at him, “Can I take a few photos of you?”

Pei Qingci responded, “Hmm?”

“Your fans haven’t seen new photos of you for a long time,” Sheng Qingli reminded him. “Isn’t it time for you to update your Weibo?”

Pei Qingci smiled, “Go ahead.”

Sheng Qingli raised her eyebrows, “Alright.”

The two took turns photographing each other.

In addition to the photos, Sheng Qingli also asked Pei Qingci to record a very short video of her.

At noon in Switzerland, it was already evening back home.

Calculating the time, Sheng Qingli called her mother on a video call while in the car.

“Mom.” Looking at her mother appearing on the screen, Sheng Qingli smiled, “Happy New Year.”

Her mother replied, “Happy New Year! Have you eaten lunch yet?”

“I just finished eating; what about you guys?”

“We just finished eating as well.” Her mother looked at her, “Grandpa and Grandma are over there; you should wish them a Happy New Year.”

“Okay.”

After chatting with her grandparents for a while, the phone returned to her mother’s hands.

Sheng Qingli glanced at the person driving silently next to her and said, “Mom, how about I send you a New Year gift?”

Her mother asked, “What gift?”

Sheng Qingli turned the camera to Pei Qingci, “Him.”

Ms. Sheng: “……”

Pei Qingci: “……”

Both were caught off guard.

Stunned for a few seconds, Pei Qingci pulled the car over to the side of the road and politely called the person on the other side of the video, “Hello aunt, I’m Pei Qingci.” ”

Ms. Sheng: “……”

She paused for three seconds, pushed away her husband, covered her lips and coughed, “You two …….”

“We’re in a relationship.” Sheng Qingli looked at the scenery outside the window, and simply pushed the car door down, “You want to help us keep it secret, we are in Switzerland here, this place is so beautiful, next time I will bring you and Dad to play.” ”

Ms. Sheng was speechless, looking at the scenery in the camera and the two people who appeared again in the camera, “After filming, I have time to go back to Nancheng.” ”

She has to see this Pei Qingci.

Sheng Qingli: “…… Got it. ”

Ms. Sheng hummed, “Your dad is here, he wants to talk to you.” ”

“…… Good. ”

The father and daughter said a few more words, and Sheng Qingli reluctantly hung up the phone.

When the phone hung up, she looked at the people next to her, a little puzzled, “What do you think of me as this?” ”

Pei Qingci narrowed his eyes, “Why did you suddenly tell them?” ”

Sheng Qingli sighed, and asked, “You don’t want me to say?” ”

“It’s not.” How could Pei Qingci not want to She said that he was an accident, “I thought you didn’t want to tell them.” ”

“My mom won’t say anything about it.” Sheng Qingli whispered.

Pei Qingci: “The point is not here. ”

He lowered his eyes, took the person into his arms, bit her lip affectionately, and said in a low voice, “You know what I mean.” ”

Sheng Qingli does know.

She took the initiative to wrap her neck around his neck, thought for a moment and said, “Anyway, I can’t escape the palm of your hand in my life. ”

Hearing this, Pei Qingci couldn’t bear it anymore, licked and bit her lips, and kissed her at the foot of Jungfrau.

The two received an extremely lingering kiss.

When parting, the foreheads are against each other, and the breath is all on the opposite face, slightly itchy.

Pei Qingci’s eyes are gloomy, the Adam’s apple is rolling, and his voice is low and delicate, which is very seductive, “Lili.” ”

Sheng Qingli was still immersed in the kiss he had just given, and his head was dizzy and agreed, “What? ”

Pei Qingci pecked her lips that became moist and red, “After the movie is officially released, we will make it public, right?” ”

Sheng Qingli was stunned, looked up at him, and blinked gently, “…… Okay. ”
