I was just an ordinary person, but somehow I ended up dressed as a female celebrity.

Chapter 24 Encountering Lin Tingshen

The summer temperature is a bit muggy, and the birds in the trees are chirping incessantly, as if complaining about the fiery temper of the heavens; the weather has been hot for the past few days, and there isn't a single cloud in the sky.

22:00 PM, airport waiting room.

Lingxia sat in the airport's VIP waiting area. It was probably peak tourist season, and there were quite a few people in the waiting room, mostly families.

Ling Xia, wearing a mask, watched her assistant Tian Tian devour ice cream.

Ice cream is a complimentary treat in the airport VIP lounge, where there is also fruit and snacks.

Tian Tian ate her ice cream without feeling guilty. She occasionally commented, "This cantaloupe flavor is better than the strawberry one. I'll go get a milk flavor later."

No matter the flavor, ice cream is delicious, isn't it? Ling Xia protested with her eyes. Ling Xia needs to control her weight at all times, especially before filming a movie.

Because Lingxia's gaze was too intense, Tiantian shrank back, unable to bear eating while Lingxia didn't eat, because she knew Lingxia was a foodie, and it would be too cruel to make a foodie not eat.

He turned around and, with his back to Ling Xia, stuffed the remaining half of the ice cream into his mouth in a few bites.

Her mouth was completely filled with ice cream. Because there was so much ice cream, Tian Tian couldn't close her mouth, and her cheeks bulged out, making her look like a little squirrel stealing food.

Her mouth was so cold and icy that Tian Tian gasped for breath, as if she was trying to absorb the warmth of the air into her mouth to stop the cold air from getting into her mouth. When Ling Xia saw Tian Tian doing this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly handed her the ice cream bag and said, "Just spit out one piece. I didn't ask you to eat the whole thing in one bite."

With tears in her eyes, Tian Tian accused, "I was just trying to make you feel better, but you just wouldn't vomit."

The ice cream slowly melted, but the coolness in her mouth lingered. Tian Tian coughed a few times, patted her chest, and looked as if she had come back to life.

Ling Xia and Tian Tian will be going to the film crew of "Travel in Progress 2" to play a small role.

"The Trip in Progress 2" is said to be a comedy film. It was well received when it was released last year and became the third place in that stage. The investors did not expect the film to be so successful. It can be said that it was a dark horse and made it to the final round.

Because the lead actors in this film were not big stars, the investment was small, and with foreign special effects films at the time featuring grand scenes, almost no one noticed it.

Perhaps it's due to audience fatigue, but this niche film managed to stand out amidst a barrage of films featuring numerous big-name actors.

Seeing the potential for profit, investors immediately approached the director to decide on a sequel, with the original cast and increased investment.

With investment came the money to hire popular actors for cameo roles, but the fees for those super-popular actors were too high, and they simply couldn't afford them. After searching around, the director felt that Ling Xia, who was currently very popular, was the most suitable.

It has popularity, a good public image, and importantly, the pay isn't very high.

The producer immediately contacted Ling Xia's agent, Sister Zhao. Upon hearing that this was the movie that was so popular last year, Sister Zhao readily agreed and packed Ling Xia up and sent her over that very night.

They didn't even discuss the pay. Although Ling Xia has the popular drama "The Strategy of the Warring States" to film, a long break would cause her to lose market share. Who cares about having too many resources? She just happens to have time to do a cameo role now. After the movie is finished, the TV series should be ready, and she can just join the production team then.

Ling Xia checked the time on her phone; it was almost time to board. She and Tian Tian quickly packed their luggage and headed for the plane.

Everything went smoothly. Ling Xia was in first class, and Tian Tian was in passenger class. The two separated, and Tian Tian continued walking forward.

Ling Xia glanced at her seat number and noticed that a tall man in a suit was already sitting next to her.

He was clearly a businessman, with broad shoulders, a straight back, and a well-pressed black suit without a single wrinkle. He wore black leather shoes, and looking up, you could see his sharply defined jawline, thin lips, and a high nose. His dark eyes were fixed on Ling Xia, and his long eyelashes fluttered, with stray strands of hair hanging over his forehead.

The man was quite handsome, and his appearance was exactly what Xia liked… Xia shuddered, abruptly waking from her reverie. She took a deep breath, wondering why she was always so surprised whenever she saw him.

Ling Xia flashed a perfect actor's smile, revealing eight standard teeth. "Boss, what a coincidence!" The boss had a new hairstyle, with bangs covering his head, making him look like a young heartthrob.

Lin Tingshen looked at her meaningfully, "You've been standing there for 5 minutes." He pointed behind Ling Xia, where a flight attendant was checking passengers' seatbelts. Seeing that Ling Xia hadn't sat down yet, she stepped forward and said, "Madam, can't you find your seat?"

Ling Xia turned her head and waved apologetically, "I found it," and then immediately sat down in her seat and fastened her seatbelt.

The flight attendant, seeing the passenger's swift movements, looked puzzled. When she glanced to her right, she froze, her face flushing slightly. She pursed her lips and said to Lin Tingshen in a gentler tone, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" She then tidied her hair.

Ling Xia watched as the flight attendants changed their attitudes towards her service. Handsome men, especially wealthy ones, were indeed given preferential treatment.

Lin Tingshen glanced at Ling Xia, then calmly said, "No," as if he hadn't noticed the flight attendant's attentive service.

After the flight attendant left, Lingxia touched her thigh. It was so quiet. Should she say something?

Someone please help me! I really don't want to talk to my boss, it's so embarrassing.

Ling Xia licked her dry lips and smiled, "Boss, are you going out so late?"

"Yeah, you're the same."

"Haha, I'm different. I'm just rushing to finish my scenes for tomorrow. I didn't expect you to be so busy, boss."

"The boss is busier than you employees; he doesn't have weekends."

How am I supposed to answer this? The plane hasn't taken off yet.

Perhaps the plane was also afraid of embarrassment. Upon hearing Ling Xia's call, it began to move intermittently, like riding a roller coaster.

A sudden, intense push against her back caused Xia Yi to nervously grab Lin Tingshen's arm. Once the push subsided, Xia Yi felt warmth in her left hand, unlike the armrest on the seat.

She twirled to the left, her fingers involuntarily pinching the man's arm. Through the fabric, she could feel how muscular the man's arm was; she was sure he had a great figure. She'd bet three packs of spicy strips on it.

Lin Tingshen noticed Ling Xia's subtle movements. Earlier, when the plane suddenly took off, someone had grabbed his arm, but it wasn't a big deal; after all, he wasn't a Virgo. He tried to be a gentleman, but then, as the plane was flying smoothly again, the little hand gripped his arm once more.

Seeing the guilty look on the person next to him, Lin Tingshen looked at Ling Xia meaningfully.

Ling Xia immediately removed her hand, rubbing the spot she had been holding with her paws like a puppy. She covered her mouth and said, "I feel like sleeping as soon as I get on the plane, boss, I'm going to sleep now," turning her head away from Lin Tingshen.

Although she turned her head away, she could still feel two pairs of eyes staring at her from behind, a sense of pressure emanating from them. Had they noticed her little actions? Unconsciously, Xia fell asleep, filled with doubt.

Lin Tingshen didn't know why he wanted to laugh whenever he saw Ling Xia. Maybe it was because Ling Xia was as tense and bristling as a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him, which made him want to tease her every time. Or maybe it was because she was different from other women and didn't cling to him, which made him feel less disgusted.

Listening to her soft breathing, he suddenly didn't want to work anymore and decided to slack off for once.

The two slept until the plane was about to land. Lin Tingshen originally wanted to see Ling Xia and the other person off, but Ling Xia said goodbye to Lin Tingshen as soon as she got off the plane, saying that the crew had a car to pick them up.

Lin Tingshen didn't try to stop him. He sat in the Rolls-Royce for a long time, still not understanding, and then said to Yi An in the front passenger seat, "Am I that scary?"

Ah~, Yi An was completely bewildered. Boss, why did you lose your confidence after taking a flight?

"The boss is handsome, elegant, highly learned, and extremely wealthy..."

"……stop"

Lin Tingshen had no desire to listen to Yi An's flattery and looked out the window with a melancholy expression.

Yi An also looked out the window with a melancholy expression. The boss had a problem, and he had missed something again.
