The Transmigration Missions Are Not Scientific Ch.41

Chapter 41-Entertainment Circle (3)

Gu Anran didn’t have the habit of locking her door when taking a shower however, she never expected Mu Qingli to just open the door and walk in. 

She stared blankly back at Mu Qingli, then…..

Pooof….

Two spurts of blood….a nosebleed….

“…..”

“…..”

“Wuooo! I’m sorry!” Mu Qingli shouted while hurriedly reaching up to cover her nose. As a result, the bathroom floor became slippery with blood and then there was a sudden ‘Bang!’ sound. Her vision went black and she fainted. 

“…..” Uh…what’s with this situation? 

Gu Anran looked blankly at Mu Qingli who was lying on the floor. Why was her wife so stupid in this world? In the first world she was a prodigy bookworm, in the second she was a high-ranking vice president, but now…..

She glanced down again at Mu Qingli lying on the floor and the blood still flowing down her face. To this, Gu Anran felt like she had nothing to say… 

Forget it, even if she is stupid, she’ still my wife, right?

Resigned to her fate, she gently lifted the unconscious person and placed her onto the sofa. Then she wiped the nosebleed with a damp towel. After doing so, Gu Anran walked back into the bathroom to dry her hair and came back out in her pajamas. 

She set Mu Qingli’s head onto her lap, allowing the other to use her lap as a pillow. She soothingly rubbed Mu Qingli’s temples and then glanced down at Mu Qingli’s slightly opened lips. She swallowed her saliva and took a deep breath as if to prepare herself. Slowly she approached those beautiful lips….closer and closer…almost there….

“Lala~! It feels so nice after taking a bath!” The voice was like a wet blanket that soured the mood as Fatty who was long forgotten jumping into the living room with wet fur. 

“Hey! Anran! Help me dry my hair!’

“Dry your hair? How do you want to do it? In the oven, microwave or the dishwasher?” The good atmosphere was interrupted and blue veins popped on her forehead as she glared at the wet and heavy Fatty. 

“You…” You want to eat me!! Fatty hadn’t finished talking when it realized that Gu Anran was lying on the sofa with an unconscious Mu Qingli. After thinking through what might have caused her temper….did I possibly…interrupt someone’s lovey-dovey time?!!! After figuring it out, Fatty immediately put on a flattering expression (Although since Fatty’s face is covered in fur and is still a rabbit’s face so one couldn’t tell the difference at all) and rubbed its chubby arms against its furry face as it spoke in a coaxing tone, 

“Anran~Don’t be angry~ It wasn’t intentional! Look, your wife is still unconscious, you should hurry up and take care of her!” 

The sickenly sweet voice caused goosebumps to form on Gu Anran’s arms. Disgusting, so gross! But now that I think about it…

Just when Gu Anran decided to let this hateful fat rabbit off the hook, 

“Ughh….” Mu Qingli slowly sat up with an aching head and her eyes focused again. 

“…..” Wuooooo! I deserve to die! I actually saw the Goddess’s naked body! Her fair and tender this, the perfect roundness of her chest, that smooth back and…hisss! It feels like….my nose is bleeding again! 

Gu Anran: “…..”  Is my window of opportunity gone?! Feeling both angry and disappointed, Gu Anran squeezed her hands without thinking…. 

“GAHH—-!” A blood-curdling scream resonated through the air. 

“…..”

“….”

Gu Anran glanced down to see that the fat rabbit’s neck was bent at an unnatural angle and silently stretched out her hand. With a snap, the neck returned to its normal position but that caused another scream, 

Pa! Pa! Pa! The sound of knocking came from the door and Gu Anran stood to open it. There was a group of people outside, a bunch of men in black suits and they all had nervous expressions on their face, 

“Miss Gu, did something happen?” 

“Eldest Miss, what’s going on?”

Gu Anran frowned at the flurry of voices, 

“I’m fine.” After those two words, she closed the door with a bang and left the group outside to stare blankly at each other. 

“Are you ok?” Gu Anran threw the fat rabbit in her hands onto a chair not far away. 

“I’m fine, just a little…hot!” Mu Qingli pursed her lips. She felt rather guilty and stretched out her hands to cool down her burning ears….ahhhh! My brain is full of images from what happened earlier! What do I do?!!

Suddenly a glass of water appeared in front of her and she raised her head, 

“Here.” Gu Anran gave the stunned Mu Qingli a puzzled look. She thought that Mu Qingli was still feeling uncomfortable and placed the glass to the side as she reached out to gently rub Mu Qingli’s temples. 

Eh? Coming out of her daze, Mu Qingli realized that the beautiful face had gotten closer to her. The comfortable and warm feeling coming from her temples told her that the other person was actually massaging her! 

Anran…..i-is….so nice and gentle…ahhhh! I feel like I’m going to melt! 

Shuaa…..

Mu Qingli stood up abruptly, 

“I-I need to take a shower! Good night, Anran!” After saying those words, she rushed into the bathroom/

Huh? What is wrong with my wife? 

Gu Anran scratched her head in confusion and stared at the tightly closed door. Forget it, it’s nothing to word about. I have work tomorrow, might as well rest up. 

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, 

Wuaahhhhhhhhh! Mu Qingli was silently screaming into her hands as she covered her face. 

This feeling is so strange…why is my heart beating so fast, just what is this feeling… 

「The female lead’s favorability has increased by (10) and is currently at (65).」

The next day, the four of them arrived on set to see a good looking man in his 30s. He is the director of this film. Although he does not have the seniority like many other older directors, he was very sincere and earnest in his work. He never accepted any bribes or broke any rules. He selected his actors or actresses based on temperament and how good they were. He did care who you were, whether you were the Film Emperor or a no-name rookie. If he doesn’t feel like you can act, he will immediately kick you out. It was because of this attitude that he was one of Father Gu’s most valued directors. In the Gu Studios, he was considered the youngest and most promising director. 

He was also a large part of the reason why Mu Qingli, a no-name newbie, was able to be chosen for this drama. 

“Miss Gu, Miss Mu, you’re late.” The director said huffily. 

“I’m sorry, we’ll do better next time. Gu Anran nodded and expressed her apology. Although she was the Eldest Miss of Gu studios did not mean Li Dao would be partial towards her. In fact, he was more strict with her than with others and it was said that this was requested by Gu Anran’s own father….

“Anran, come over here! It’s time to put on your makeup!” Gu Anran’s personal makeup artist, nicknamed Geek, called out. 

“I’ll see you later, during the filming.”

“En.” Mu Qingli watched Gu Anran briskly walk away and clenched her fists. Ok, I need to work hard too! 

In the makeup room, 

“Tsk, tsk, Anran. Your skin is still so flawless! It makes me so jealous!” Geek said while giving her a thumbs up. 

“Put away that disgusting tone and gestures of yours.” Gu Anran watched speechlessly as the big man who was painting her makeup and holding up an ‘ok’ hand sign. With his slim and supple body, if you put a skirt on it, cover his adam’s apple, and put on some more makeup, no one would be able to tell if he was a girl or not. It didn’t help that he had a neutral voice and feminine habits. 

“Aiya~ Anran are you falling in love with me~ I have Little Mingming to think about now! You’re making it hard for me to choose~ Aiya~ I am so popular but I still can’t love two at once, ok? Ah, I feel so conflicted~” Geek said with a shy expression. 

Gu Anran wordlessly picked up the comb and threw it into Geek’s face and then faced her assistant, 

“Help me put on my costume.”

“Ok.” 

Pulling up the curtain, Gu Anran began to change. 

 Little Mingming?I think I remember that name from the book….Director (Li Tianming)! Goddamn! The director is so blind! He actually fell in love with Geek?!

“I suddenly feel a strong wave of disgust coming my way! Little Ran, don’t be like that!” Geek said sweetly from outside. 

Her body reflexively grabbed a nearby chair cushion and threw it outside. An ‘Oof!’ sound could be heard like it hit the person straight on. However, was this movement too fluid?! Could this be an instinct leftover by the previous owner?!

“Is Miss Gu finished changing? The shooting is about to start.” A staff member knocked on the door. 

“Ok! I know! Anran, hurry up! My Little Ming is waiting for you!”

Shuaa….

Gu Anran barely stopped her veins from bursting out of her forehead as she drew open the curtains. She ignored Geek’s ‘affectionate’ cry as she went out the door. 

“Okay, everyone is here! Let’s get started then! The crew is ready, actors and actresses, please get in your places!” The director shouted. 

This scene they were acting in was when the male and female lead first met. Gu Anran was the Eldest Miss of the Qingshan clan located in the Jianghu. While Duan Hongwu was the top assassin from an assassination organization in the Jianghu. 

Mu Qingli was wearing a pink costume robe but unlike the maidservants in other tv series that wore layers of skits, she wore clothing that made her look heroic and cute!

But isn’t the female villain lead supposed to be one of my maid servants as well? Where is she? 

“Where is Cui Qianqian?” The director said with a frown. Everything from the equipment and actors was ready, but they were missing one person. 

“I-I’m sorry, Miss Cui went to use the bathroom.” A woman who seemed to be Cui Qianqian’s manager bowed and apologized in a panic to Li Dao.

“Bathroom? Why didn’t she go to the bathroom this morning? Does she want to drag everyone down with her?” Li Dao said crossly with his arms folded. 

“I’m sorry, I’m late!” A woman with a beautiful appearance dressed in the same outfit as Mu Qingli ran over. 

“I’m sorry, Li Dao. I felt a little sick so that’s why I was late. I’m terribly sorry.” 

「Attention! The Female villain lead, Cui Qianqian has appeared!」

This is the female villain lead? So different from the previous world’s villain! Gu Anran sneaked a glance at her. 

The director couldn’t say anything when he saw her noticeably pale face. She was a woman after all and there were always a few days in each month where that happened…

“Just get in your place and be prepared to start.”

“Yes, thank you, director.” Cui Qianqian stood beside Mu Qingli and assumed her role. 

Glancing at the figure behind her, Gu Anran frowned a little. Cui Qianqian should be a second-tier actress during this part of the novel. Although she was polite to everyone just now and made you think positively of her, she was still a second-tier actress. To have climbed this high in the entertainment world meant you either had a very strong background or you restored to clever schemes. It seems that this time the female villain lead will not be so easy to deal with as before!
