My CP Rumor With The Movie Queen Has Gone Viral

Chapter 76: I Want To Take Care Of Teacher Wen

"You will... take responsibility for me?" Wen Jin looked at Ruan Jinghong, her gaze intense.

"Mm," Ruan Jinghong lifted her head and spoke before Wen Jin could say anything else, reciting the explanations she had thought of while taking a shower.

"I know that compared to Teacher Wen, I'm not talented, and my appearance is average. Sometimes I'm not even clever enough. Being with Teacher Wen might even be burdensome.

"But when someone makes a mistake, they should always make amends.

"So, Teacher Wen, you can treat me as an invisible little tail. In the future, if you have any instructions, as long as I'm not filming, I will do my best to fulfill them."

"When you're busy or find me bothersome, just pretend I don't exist.

"I want to take care of Teacher Wen until... until you meet someone who can take care of you better."

Wen Jin quietly listened to Ruan Jinghong's entire speech, silently counting in her heart.

The little thing just blinked five times in total.

Did she really mean it when she said she was average-looking? Did she have a misconception about her own appearance?

Wasn't she quite self-confident before? Why suddenly feel inferior?

Seeing Ruan Jinghong's guilty and humble appearance, Wen Jin didn't want to hide it from her anymore, even though it was a rare opportunity.

Wen Jin held Ruan Jinghong's hand and asked her to sit beside her. Her voice was gentle, as if afraid of startling the sensitive little thing's heart.

"Do you think that when you were drunk, you took advantage of me?"

Ruan Jinghong didn't utter a word, only biting her lip as she looked at Wen Jin, her eyes brimming with tears.

The answer was evident.

Wen Jin gently patted Ruan Jinghong's head and spoke kindly, "Actually, after you got drunk, although you initially treated me like a doll to play with, you quickly fell asleep and didn't do anything inappropriate."

Ruan Jinghong blinked in disbelief. "But what about the nail marks on your shoulder?"

"Those were made by a little drunk kitten scratching while sleeping, just on the shoulder, nothing more."

In fact, Wen Jin also had two "artworks" from Ruan Jinghong's drunken state on her waist, but it was not appropriate to mention them now and deepen someone's guilt.

Ruan Jinghong let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this: Luckily, I didn't do anything improper to Teacher Wen when I was drunk. So, I don't have to take responsibility.

But as she thought about this realization, she felt somewhat empty inside.

Seeing Ruan Jinghong's relieved yet disappointed expression, Wen Jin held her delicate hand and played with it, teasingly saying, "So now the truth is out, Ruanruan doesn't have to be responsible to me anymore."

Ruan Jinghong's face blushed with embarrassment. Indeed, she had imagined a big misunderstanding.

She gave Wen Jin an awkward yet polite smile and said, "It was just a misunderstanding. Teacher Wen, please don't laugh at me. Let's pretend I didn't say those things earlier."

"How can I pretend you didn't say them?"

Wen Jin gently enveloped Ruan Jinghong's delicate hand in her palm and spoke earnestly, word by word.

"You said something earlier that I think is particularly true. You said, 'Doing such things to someone requires taking responsibility.' So now I have something to confess to you."

Ruan Jinghong suddenly had a strange premonition in her heart. She instinctively tried to retract her hand, but she couldn't pull it out from Wen Jin's grasp.

"After you got drunk, without your consent, I did some inappropriate things to you."

Ruan Jinghong tried to pull her hand again, but Wen Jin held it firmly with a gentle force.

"I kissed your little bunny and caressed and played with it for a long time."

Ruan Jinghong was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"I also kissed your body and left many marks that belong to me."

Ruan Jinghong's face turned crimson: There was really no need to be so explicit.

"Although we haven't gone all the way yet, according to your standards, I should take responsibility for it."

The amount of information was overwhelming, and Ruan Jinghong's brain briefly went into a temporary shutdown.

At this moment, she was more stunned than embarrassed. Her esteemed Teacher Wen, the dignified and courteous Wen Jin, actually did such things to her!

For a moment, she felt like her whole worldview had been shattered.

Wen Jin saw that Ruan Jinghong was stunned for a while and continued speaking gently.

"So, because you didn't say anything, do you think that I feel terrible and undeserving of responsibility, and you want me to accept some other punishment?"

"N-no, it's... forget it." Ruan Jinghong was forcefully brought back to reality by a single sentence from Wen Jin. She stuttered in her response.

If this had been done by someone else, Ruan Jinghong would never let it go so easily.

However, the one who did these things was her admired Teacher Wen, and Ruan Jinghong subconsciously believed, with a ten-level filter: Whatever Teacher Wen did couldn't be wrong.

As for why Teacher Wen did this, she didn't dare to think deeply about it at the moment.

"How can we just let it go like this? Ruanruan, you just confidently said that you would take responsibility for me. But now, with the roles reversed, why are you double standards?"

Seeing that Ruan Jinghong had no resistance to this, Wen Jin leaned in closer and pulled her into her embrace with one hand.

"Of course, as the one responsible, I won't bring you any trouble. You can treat me as an invisible tail, summoning me when you need me and dismissing me when you don't."

"As long as I'm not filming, I will fulfill all your needs as soon as possible."

With these words, Wen Jin reiterated Ruan Jinghong's previous statement once again.

Ruan Jinghong was terrified when she heard the words: How dare I summon and dismiss Teacher Wen at will?!

"Teacher Wen, I really don't mind. You don't have to... sacrifice yourself like this."

At this moment, Ruan Jinghong finally came back to her senses. She spoke these words sincerely.

Although she had more traditional values and held herself to high standards, she understood the importance of being lenient towards others.

The main reason was that it was Wen Jin who had done these things, and she didn't feel violated. 

Instead, deep in her heart, there was a hidden sense of delight. It was as if, unintentionally, she had become closer to her own moon.

Seeing the tender expression in Ruan Jinghong's eyes, Wen Jin's heart melted like water.

She changed her grip from one hand to both hands, embracing Ruan Jinghong's slender waist and resting her chin on her slender shoulder.

"It's not a sacrifice. What if I say that I actually want to take responsibility for you Ruanruan?"

These words from Teacher Wen...

Ruan Jinghong's entire body was held captive in Wen Jin's hands, and upon hearing these words, the waves in her mind were no less intense than when she learned about Wen Jin's actions towards her earlier.

"What if I say that even if today's events didn't happen, I still wanted to treat Ruanruan well?"

Ruan Jinghong looked at the long hair draped over Wen Jin's back, her eyes slightly teary, but not because of sadness.

"What if I say that the confession I made to you on that night, around the bonfire on the mountaintop, was all heartfelt?"

At this moment, Wen Jin couldn't see Ruan Jinghong's expression, but she could clearly sense the slight trembling in the body held in her embrace.

Did I push her too hard?

Wen Jin let out a sigh and moved her chin away from the thin shoulder she had been fond of.

She reached out and tucked the damp ends of Ruan Jinghong's hair behind her ear, her smile relaxed.

You don't have to rush to give me an answer, Ruanruan. Take your time to think, I won't pressure you."

"Whenever you need me, just make a call or send a message, and I'll be there."

"The takeout is getting cold, let's eat first."

This was undoubtedly the quietest meal they had ever shared. Ruan Jinghong, who had initially felt hungry, now ate absentmindedly. 

Her mind was consumed by the words spoken by Wen Jin just a while ago.

Did Teacher Wen confess her feelings to me just now?

Could it be that she intentionally said those things to appease me, claiming responsibility?

No, she initiated the kisses before. Perhaps... she actually likes me?

But why would someone as amazing as Teacher Wen like me?

If I agree, could I really become Teacher Wen's girlfriend?

Ruan Jinghong was left by her parents when she was very young, and they each started new families. 

She was raised by her grandmother, who treated her well. Although her childhood lacked the presence of her parents, she never felt lacking in love.

She always thought she lived confidently and brightly, never feeling inferior even when surrounded by exceptional people.

In the past two years, due to her frequent role as a vicious female supporting character, she has received constant negative comments on the Internet, but she is also good at explaining herself.

In her world, she can move forward bravely.

But now, faced with the person she has always admired, the person she has only dared to worship in the depths of her heart but never dared to imagine, that person suddenly says they like her.

She, however, suddenly feels inferior.

It's not that she hasn't thought about dating in the future, or imagined what her significant other might be like.

But the person in front of her is too perfect, and she dares not.

She's afraid that if she rashly agrees, she will later discover that it was all an illusion.

It is easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but difficult to transition from luxury to frugality.

If she really ends up with the admired Teacher Wen and then they separate in the future, she will definitely find it extremely difficult to adapt.

Ruan Jinghong only realizes now that deep down, she holds such a pessimistic attitude towards love.

Without a beginning, there is no ending, and there is no pain.

In fact, long before she even realized it herself, she had already developed a self-defense mechanism to block out all signals of admiration around her.

Otherwise, with her looks and personality, how could she not be relentlessly pursued by those around her?

It's simply because the barrier against admiration is too strong.

In today's world, time and energy are precious commodities.

Even the hottest heart will cool down when faced with someone who knows nothing about love.

Ruan Jinghong has no idea how much of a "blockhead" she appears to others when it comes to matters of love.

She simply considers herself as the type who is not sought after in romantic relationships. After living for nearly twenty-four years, she finally has someone expressing interest in her.

And this person happens to be someone she is incredibly fond of, someone who is perfect and outstanding in every aspect.

This is like a non-master who has always been getting only R* cards, never having seen the faces of SR and SSR cards, and suddenly, one day, he pulls an UR card and becomes ecstatic!

*R: rare, SR: super rare, SSR: super super rare, UR: ultra rare, term usually used on games with gacha or random draw cards/character collecting online games

The leap is too big; everyone needs to take a moment to catch their breath.

Wen Jin held the food in her hands, but the corner of her eye secretly followed the slender figure beside her.

She had just spoken confidently, but now that she had calmed down, she felt a sense of regret.

She was afraid of being rejected and afraid that she might not be able to control herself from doing something more extreme to her beloved little thing.

Others perceive her as restrained, dignified, and indifferent, but only she and a few close confidants know that she is not like that.

When you pretend for a long time, you can even deceive yourself.

Just now, she said, "You can take your time to think, I won't pressure you," but it was hypocritical.

She first tried to restrain herself, then restrained herself even more, at least to maintain a positive image in the little thing's heart for a little longer.

But she only accepts affirmative answers.

Author' Note:

I won't repeatedly respond to the same comments from the previous chapter. Here, I'll address them collectively. (To those who have reached this point, my dear cuties, please refrain from replying to the thread.) They didn't even change their pants in the previous chapter. Can anyone really believe they "did it"? Although I'm eager too, Teacher Wen wouldn't go to such extremes.

Some people think that swapping genders is "xsr"* but I can only say that not everything can be simply and crudely translated through a gender swap. In reality, close girl friends often kiss each other and even touch each other's chests. Is that "xsr" too? If we insist on taking it seriously, it was Ruan Meow Meow who made the first move. Please don't attach the label of changing important conditions and distorting social events to a fictional world where two mutually attracted beautiful women exist. Moreover, it's in human nature to have double standards. The same action may be condemned if done by a man but accepted if done by a beautiful sister.

*性骚扰 (xing sao rao): sexual harassment

Personally, I believe that determining whether something is "XSR" depends on whether the individuals involved are willing to accept it in their hearts, rather than whether there was prior agreement. For example, in the past, when I was still friends with my ex-girlfriend, she woke me up in the middle of the night with a kiss (just a kiss), and I didn't feel it was "XSR" at all; instead, I felt happy. I have spent over two hundred thousand words laying the groundwork for Ruan Meow Meow's growing affection for Teacher Wen. Ruan Meow Meow has low romantic aspirations and believes she is not worthy of the perfect image she has of Teacher Wen, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like her.

Also, for those who say that Teacher Wen's character is OOC*, if she were to 'do' it, I would acknowledge the criticism of it being OOC. However, as a soon-to-be 30-year-old adult woman, regardless of her usual cold and reserved demeanor, she also has desires and a longing to be close to someone she likes. This growing desire, which remains within the boundaries, shouldn't be considered as going OOC. I have reflected on this and realized that perhaps I have written too much from Ruan Meow Meow's perspective on Teacher Wen, causing some readers to share Meow Meow's point of view. I have repeatedly emphasized that Ruan Meow Meow's perception of Teacher Wen is a perfect fantasy viewed through the lens of a fan, and in reality, no one is completely perfect. I haven't even written about Teacher Wen's flaws yet. True and beautiful love is meant to foster mutual understanding, mutual growth, and becoming better versions of themselves.
