Chapter 60: Absolutely Not, Absolutely Not – Rubbing Her Belly
Dong Ling lay on the bed listlessly, desperately trying to convince herself that it was okay, but the awkwardness, like a stubborn stain, remained.
This kind of thing was truly embarrassing and shameful, and Dong Ling didn’t know who to talk to.
Talk to Chen Shang Shang and Tang Qianxi, who knew about the situation?
No, they were both dealing with their own troubles.
Talk to her parents and brother? That was even more impossible, Dong Ling would never tell her family about such things. She had just assured them at the dinner table of the pure nature of her relationship with Song Mingzhi, what if they took her drunken words seriously?
As for other people… either their relationship wasn’t close enough, or it wasn’t appropriate to discuss such private matters, but Dong Ling really needed to vent.
So Dong Ling decided… to post online!
Hidden behind an anonymous account, who would know who she was?
So Dong Ling logged into her Weibo account, which she previously used to share violin music, so she had some followers. After being bound by the system and signing Song Mingzhi, she used it to follow Song Mingzhi, like her posts, and participate in fan fundraising, it was basically a fan account now.
She thought about it, she hadn’t revealed any personal information on this account, so she confidently posted on Weibo.
@Jieshi: Something incredibly awkward just happened. To get rid of a troublesome person, I jokingly said, “Are you leaving because you want to watch me and S sleep together?” S is my good friend, and this troublesome person is homophobic, thinking there’s something going on between me and S, so she immediately left. But there’s nothing like that between me and S, and I just realized S heard what I said, and she seemed angry when she left, what should I do now?
Dong Ling originally thought there wouldn’t be many replies, but unexpectedly, after refreshing, there were already several.
Dong Ling had underestimated the popularity of her account, most of Song Mingzhi’s fans knew about this big fan, Jieshi.
She had been following Song Mingzhi since the beginning, her page filled with Song Mingzhi-related content, a rich fan who gave away 300 free movie tickets during the movie’s release, for three days in a row, and then held lotteries to give away cash and prizes, posting several lottery announcements in a few days.
Her generosity was also evident in fan fundraising events, and she didn’t hold back when sending gifts during Song Mingzhi’s live stream appearance on that variety show.
Although she said there was no need to follow her, just follow Song Mingzhi, many people still followed her, most of them Song Mingzhi’s fans.
The reason Jieshi attracted attention wasn’t just because she was rich, but also because she was unique.
Many celebrities’ big fans held positions in fan groups, responsible for organizing other fans, but Jieshi was different, she didn’t seem to care about boosting data, or participate in controlling comments and online discussions, she was rarely seen.
Moreover, she was Song Mingzhi’s known anti-CP fan, yes, a known anti.
She had used all sorts of ridiculous adjectives to describe the Song Zhong CP in the live stream chat, instantly becoming famous among the Song Zhong sisters and some other fans, causing dissatisfaction among many Song Zhong sisters and Dong Ling’s fans.
But Jieshi didn’t seem to care about the mockery in the comments under her Weibo post, she didn’t delete or reply to them, and didn’t express any further opinions on the Song Zhong CP, just stated that she hoped Song Mingzhi would remain single.
This was the first time Jieshi posted about something unrelated to Song Mingzhi after following her, her followers naturally found it interesting and actively interacted with her.
@CallMeBaby: Did you explain to her?
@Jieshi: I explained it on the spot, she’s usually a very gentle person, but she just left after saying something, she didn’t seem to want to talk further.
@RandomNight: Well, that’s awkward, but you’re good friends, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
@Jieshi: Um… I hope so, many people think we’re a couple, and then… I don’t even know what to say.
Dong Ling thought, if Song Mingzhi was Chen Shang Shang, she wouldn’t be panicking at all, but would simply laugh it off.
But it wasn’t, Song Mingzhi was different, their relationship… was different.
@TimeAndTideWaitForNoMan: When I first saw your post, I thought I understood, then after reading the comments, I understood again, and after thinking about it carefully, I’ve achieved enlightenment. Now, let me translate Jieshi Jiejie’s post for everyone: She jokingly told someone that she slept with the object of her affection, and the object of her affection happened to hear it, the object of her affection seemed angry and left, now Jieshi Jiejie is embarrassed and asking us what to do.
@LanZhiTingTing: You’re a good person, thank you, finally understood, it makes sense now.
@EmbraceTheBrightMoon: Friends, there wasn’t a book by the person upstairs in the bookstore downstairs, so I tore it down, did I do the right thing, guys?
@CallMeBaby: PS: Does everyone think Jieshi Jiejie and the object of her affection are a couple, or that Jieshi Jiejie has feelings for her?
@IfICanIDo: If the object of your affection is angry, doesn’t it mean she doesn’t like you that much? Think about it positively, maybe she’s just playing with you, or stringing you along, treating you like a fish, so she’s not happy that you unilaterally made it public, even if it was just a joke.
@BeautiesStickTogether: What? Treating my rich Jiejie like a fish? How dare she! Jiejie, dump her and come flirt with me!
@YouAreTheMess: Are you guys focusing on the wrong thing? Am I the only one paying attention to the gender here?
Dong Ling just browsed through a few Weibo posts, and returning, was stunned by the comments.
How… how did it even get to this point? Why did it suddenly become Song Mingzhi treating her like a fish? It wasn’t like that at all!
@Jieshi: Everyone, please don’t speculate, she’s not the object of my affection, she’s not playing games either, she’s a very good person, and she’s straight.
Dong Ling thought with some uncertainty, she should be, right?
She waited for netizens to offer some practical advice, but after refreshing…
@BeautiesStickTogether: So you’re straight?
@CallMeBaby: So you’re straight?
@LanZhiTingTing: So you’re straight?
F**k!
Might as well just chat with 021!
@SendMeTwentyFourLoveLetters: A straight girl would indeed feel a little offended, but since you’ve already explained, and if you buy her an apology gift, it should be fine.
@SpicyCrayfishYYDS: So tragic, falling for a straight girl, and it seems quite serious.
@OrangeSituationStable: Honest advice, run, there’s no good ending to liking a straight girl. Does everyone else think you two are a couple, or do you wish you were a couple? How did this misunderstanding arise? Did you do something, or did she do something?
@NuoNuoYa: Being able to flirt with someone is good, but what if they don’t get it? Since the object of your affection reacted this way, it’s clear… or rather, is she really the object of your affection, or the object of your unrequited love?
Dong Ling originally just wanted to ask for advice online on how to alleviate the awkwardness, but unexpectedly, her true feelings were exposed, and she was repeatedly stabbed in the heart.
Every word seemed to pierce through the screen, mocking her uncontrollable emotions.
That’s right, others misunderstood because of what she did.
She started an entertainment company for her, added a kissing scene, posted a video defending her, gave her an expensive gem, went to a variety show to see her… too much.
021 sensed her emotional instability and hurriedly comforted her: [You did all of that according to the task system’s instructions, the fact that everyone thinks you’re a couple means the tasks we’re doing are correct, you’re saving the world!]
But 021’s words made Dong Ling even more upset, she clutched the quilt in her hand.
[I know I did those things because of the tasks, if it weren’t for the tasks, why would I…]
Why would she be so conflicted?
If it weren’t for these tasks, she might not have done those things, would Song Mingzhi like her then?
Oh right, she didn’t even know if Song Mingzhi liked her.
Perhaps she just saw her as a good friend, which was why she was angry just now.
But what kind of good friends hugged and kissed? It was true that she was the one who licked her face first, but it was also true that she kissed her! She was so good to her, and they were so intimate, would Song Mingzhi think it was just pure friendship?
They weren’t drunk that night, and she offered her a drink.
Perhaps she just trusted her, didn’t have her guard up, she said she was her muse.
Dong Ling’s thoughts were fragmented, as if there were two of her arguing in her mind, but what was the point of arguing? Regardless of Song Mingzhi’s attitude, the important thing was her own feelings.
She couldn’t like her, she couldn’t bear the pain of having and then losing, perhaps the description of her character in the novel was completely baseless, the reason she became the vicious female supporting character in the original novel was because the affection she was used to was taken away, similarly, Dong Ling wouldn’t be able to tolerate Song Mingzhi, after being intimate with her, being with someone else.
So it was better to stop here.
Compared to losing her, she was more afraid of them not being able to survive.
Dong Ling’s heart ached, and for some reason, her stomach also started to hurt.
Looking at the comments advising her to cut her losses, she deleted her Weibo post.
She also wanted to stop, but this wasn’t something she could decide, she couldn’t stop.
021 had said that if the main storyline progress wasn’t full when the novel reached its ending, this world would still collapse.
So she had to do tasks, use the current main storyline progress to offset the world’s energy consumption, to buy time.
If Wen Han woke up, then she could continue playing the male lead’s role and be with Song Mingzhi until the end, but what if the system left after the ending, and Wen Han didn’t return?
Dong Ling couldn’t wish for her and Song Mingzhi to be together, because that meant wishing for Wen Han to remain in a coma forever, she wanted Wen Han to wake up soon, the sooner the better.
A knock on the door came, and Dong Ling, enduring the discomfort, opened the door.
Song Mingzhi looked at the frowning Dong Ling and reached out to support her.
“Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital?”
Dong Ling shook her head and said hoarsely: “Just a stomach ache.”
“It might be because your period is coming soon, I’ll pour you a glass of hot water and rub your belly.”
Song Mingzhi helped Dong Ling to the bed, and poured her a glass of hot water.
Dong Ling held the hot water and looked at Song Mingzhi, who was about to rub her belly, and asked in confusion: “Are you angry at me?”
Song Mingzhi was puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said: “I’m not angry at you, I was in a hurry to remove my makeup and shower earlier, because I wasn’t feeling well.”
Dong Ling, who had just been feeling sorry for herself and then ruthlessly mocked by netizens: …
Knowing that Song Mingzhi wasn’t angry at her, Dong Ling felt much better.
She once again avoided thinking about those things, leaning against Song Mingzhi’s shoulder and letting her rub her belly.
A few minutes later, another knock came.
Dong Ling thought it was Yuki and casually watched Song Mingzhi open the door.
Xuan Du, seeing Song Mingzhi at the door: …
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt your… intimate moment, can you call Dong Ling for me? I’m out of money and I was hoping she could lend me some.”
Xuan Du only realized after leaving that all the money in her accounts had been frozen, that damn He Diesheng, she had no choice but to come to Dong Ling to borrow some money.
Song Mingzhi took out her wallet and handed her a card.
“The PIN is six eights, there’s interest, I’ll tell you the exact amount when you return it.”
Xuan Du took the card and left, afraid that if she stayed any longer, the lesbian aura would seep through the door and contaminate her.
“Why did you lend her money? What if she doesn’t pay back the interest?”
Although Dong Ling felt that Xuan Du wouldn’t borrow money without repaying it, the interest really wasn’t a small amount.
Song Mingzhi smiled faintly, made a phone call gesture, and said: “Hello, Officer Dong? My bank card was stolen, and the money inside was taken, please help me.”
Dong Ling was amused, laughing so hard her stomach hurt even more.
