The Movie Queen Confesses to Me on Weibo Everyday - Chapter 11

“Is that really true?”

Lu Qiyue’s eyes were still slightly red from crying, now completely filled with confusion.

Six years ago, she mustered the courage to confess to Ruan Xingchen. After they got together, she thought their future would be sweet and happy, but she never expected it to be so fraught with hardships.

First, there was the strong opposition from both families. Then Ruan Xingchen’s budding acting career was cut short. Their once-close friends began to drift away. Whenever they walked together on the street, if they stood too close, countless scrutinizing gazes would follow—gazes filled with disgust, as if looking at something filthy.

In the end, Ruan Xingchen’s only remaining relative was hospitalized and later passed away due to the stress caused by their relationship.

Even then, Ruan Xingchen never wavered in her determination to stay with her. But Lu Qiyue was the one who grew afraid.

She began to distance herself from Ruan Xingchen. During that time, she couldn’t help but wonder—if she hadn’t been unable to control her feelings and pursued Ruan Xingchen, perhaps none of this would have happened.

She initiated the breakup, telling Ruan Xingchen she had fallen for someone else. She begged her childhood neighbor to act as her shield. To make Ruan Xingchen give up completely, she even orchestrated an engagement party.

From the very beginning, their relationship had never been blessed. This was the first time Lu Qiyue had heard a different perspective.

“Of course it’s true! If you don’t believe me, I’ll add you to the fan group. You can see how everyone’s discussing Sister Chen’s Weibo confessions,” Ji Yuchen declared confidently.

She was among the first batch of fans who fell for Ruan Xingchen and, thanks to her seniority, had become a moderator. Adding someone to the fan group was no trouble at all.

More importantly, she genuinely felt her friend and her idol were a perfect match. Just the thought of it made her start shipping them.

Ji Yuchen made up her mind—she would do everything to convince her friend. That way, if there was ever a chance to meet her idol, she could gather the courage to ask for an autograph, take photos together, or even become friends…

Lu Qiyue had no idea about Ji Yuchen’s plans. All she knew was that her heart was racing uncontrollably.

Maybe… just take a look? Lu Qiyue told herself she would only observe. As long as she didn’t speak up, no one would know she was the Lu Qiyue—the woman Ruan Xingchen had been confessing to on Weibo.

“Yueyue, what do you think? Want to join the group?” Ji Yuchen couldn’t help but urge when Lu Qiyue remained silent.

“Yueyue, really, don’t worry! All of us ‘Stars’ are super friendly—like, ridiculously friendly.” Ji Yuchen was almost tempted to describe the fans as ‘warm and approachable.’

Would they really be that friendly? Lu Qiyue felt as if two little voices were arguing in her head—one urging her to join, the other vehemently opposing it.

Suddenly, Ruan Xingchen’s face appeared in her mind: So, give yourself a little more courage, and give me a liitle more faith, okay?

Lu Qiyue seemed to meet Ruan Xingchen’s gentle, expectant, and encouraging gaze.

“Yueyue, when we broke up six years ago… I wanted to die.”

“That’s right, sis! Sister Chen developed depression back then and almost…”

Ruan Xingchen and Song Yang’s words echoed in her ears. Finally, Lu Qiyue nodded slowly and made her decision.

“Okay.”

Ji Yuchen was beyond excited. “Yueyue, I’m adding you to the group right now.”

The sound of Yuchen’s fingers tapping on the screen came through the phone, making Lu Qiyue’s heart leap into her throat.

The next second, Lu Qiyue’s WeChat notification chimed—she had been directly added by Yuchen into Ruan Xingchen’s fan group.

As soon as Ruan Xingchen joined the group, she became the center of attention.

“Hello, newcomer!”

“Welcome!”

“Are you a fan of Xingxing too?”

“It’s been a while since we had a new member.”

“Yuyu added you, so you must really, really love Sister Chen, huh?”

“What’s your name? What do you think about Sister Chen’s recent Weibo confession? Don’t you think she’s super cool and manly?”

“Sister Chen isn’t just cool and manly—she’s also incredibly loyal. Rumor has it that this Lu Qiyue was her ex-girlfriend. They were together six years ago but broke up for some reason.”

“Why did they break up? Someone as amazing as Sister Chen deserves love, doesn’t she?”

“I think it must have been family issues. After all, Sister Chen likes girls.”

“What’s wrong with that? That just makes her stand out from the ordinary crowd! Not everyone has the courage to defy conventions and pursue true love. Anyway, I think Sister Chen is the GOAT.”

“I really hope this Lu Qiyue responds to Sister Chen’s confession. I want to see what kind of girl won her heart.”

“Me too.”

“Girls, there are still a lot of haters stirring up trouble under Sister Chen’s Weibo posts. Let’s make sure to control the comments daily—we need to keep a clean space for our future sister-in-law.”

“Sister Chen is actually pining unrequitedly? Just thinking about it breaks my heart.”

“My heart aches for Sister Chen too.”

…

So things really were different now. Reading the discussions in the group, Lu Qiyue felt her eyes welling up.

“Yueyue, see? I wasn’t lying,” Yuchen sent in a voice message.

Lu Qiyue replied with a nodding sticker.

Yuchen grinned at the sticker on her screen and quickly typed, “So… will you accept Sister Chen’s confession?”

Accept Ruan Xingchen? The group chat had definitely softened her stance, but the thought of how Xingchen’s only family member had passed away because of her past stubbornness twisted Lu Qiyue’s heart into knots.

And her own parents—if they found out she was back with Xingchen, they’d surely make a scene.

She still loved Ruan Xingchen, but she was afraid of causing her trouble again.

“I… I still need to think about it,” Lu Qiyue said hesitantly.

“Still thinking? How long do you plan to take?” Frustrated that her matchmaking attempt wasn’t working, Yuchen scratched her head anxiously. If this fell through, she wouldn’t have the nerve to ask Sister Chen for autographs or selfies.

“Two days.” Lu Qiyue remembered Xingchen saying her business trip would last two days. If she still came looking for her after that… then… she’d have a proper talk with her.

Finally having made a decision, Lu Qiyue slept soundly that night, even dreaming of Ruan Xingchen.

In her dream, she stood on the school anniversary stage as Xingchen’s dance partner, performing together under the spotlight.

Ruan Xingchen’s dance was incredibly cool, drawing wave after wave of screams from the audience. Some even boldly shouted “hubby,” which immediately made Lu Qiyue jealous. She deliberately pressed her body close to Ruan Xingchen, even daring to tease her right under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The cheers and teasing from the crowd grew even louder, yet Ruan Xingchen maintained her usual cold and composed demeanor, still exuding that effortless coolness. Only when she turned away from the cameras did Lu Qiyue catch her silently mouthing three words:

“You’ll pay.”

Lu Qiyue understood perfectly, but she took full advantage of being onstage to act without restraint.

However, she soon learned the consequences of provoking Ruan Xingchen.

The moment their performance ended and they stepped offstage, Ruan Xingchen pulled Lu Qiyue away from the school festival and took her straight to their rented apartment off-campus.

That night, Ruan Xingchen pinned her down again and again, their bodies entwined in intimate embrace. She made Lu Qiyue regret provoking her—yet also let her experience the bliss of being with the one she loved.
