Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 68 Christine and Dakota

Christine hadn't even spent much time with Chen Xun before Dakota Fanning dragged her away!

The two girls huddled together, their heads almost touching, whispering and occasionally letting out suppressed giggles.

As they talked, they kept glancing at Chen Xun.

Her eyes held curiosity, and a knowing smile like that between girls sharing a secret.

Chen Xun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, like a monkey being watched in a zoo.

He tried to maintain his composure, pretending to be focused on savoring the champagne in his hand, which had almost no bubbles left.

What are they talking about?

Robert had somehow wandered over again, and following Chen Xun's gaze, he raised an eyebrow knowingly:

"Dakota and Christine, they've always been close! They're probably talking about you, after all, you're the guy who stole Bella away!"

Chen Xun coughed lightly: "Discussion?"

"certainly!"

Robert wore a slightly gloating smile:

"Your best friend's boyfriend always needs to go through a rigorous screening process, especially Christine's previous ones... well, you know."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clearly referring to Kristen's previous scandals and public relationships, both real and fabricated.

Chen Xun thought to himself: Could Dakota be having an affair with Christine?

Looking into Dakota's elfin, pure, and precociously insightful eyes, he felt that this girl might have some wildly imaginative ideas in her head.

It's not impossible!

He immediately had the idea of ​​pulling Christine away!

We finally managed to straighten him out, so please don't let him bend it again!

Just then!

The party gradually came to an end.

Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

The production crew arranged buses to take the actors back to their hotel.

Because the filming location wasn't in Los Angeles, but rather near Louisiana, everyone stayed at the same hotel.

We arrived at the hotel floor.

Chen Xun was preparing to return to their suite with Christine when Dakota Fanning followed them like a little tail.

"K~"

Dakota took Christine's arm, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry, but her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Xun:

"Can I sleep with you tonight? We haven't chatted in ages!"

Chen Xun paused, his heart skipping a beat.

what's going on?

Is the light bulb supposed to stay overnight?

Christine was clearly a little surprised as well. She glanced at Chen Xun, then at Dakota, looking somewhat troubled.

"Dakota, this..."

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Dakota didn't give her a chance to refuse, and directly pulled Christine into the suite, turning back to give Chen Xun a seemingly innocent smile as they walked:

"Chen, you don't mind, do you? Could you lend me K for one night?"

What could Chen Xun say?

Could he possibly compete with a young girl who has just come of age to steal someone away from him?

Or they might shamelessly say, "I want one too!"

Chen Xun could only manage a somewhat stiff smile:

"Of course I don't mind!"

He watched as Dakota half-pushed and half-pulled Christine into the master bedroom.

"Click~"

A soft sound.

The door was closed, leaving Chen Xun alone in the living room.

Chen Xun shook his head helplessly.

The suite arranged by the production crew was nice, with a spacious living room and a secondary bedroom next to the master bedroom.

Luckily, there wasn't just one room, otherwise he would have had to sleep on the sofa tonight!

He pushed open the door to the second bedroom.

The interior was simply furnished, but clean and tidy.

He put down his luggage, collapsed onto the bed, and stared at the ceiling.

Dakota's meaningful smile and Christine's slightly apologetic yet amusing look as she was being dragged away were still replaying in my mind.

Chen Xun tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Occasionally, he could hear voices and soft laughter coming from the master bedroom, their content indistinct, scratching at his heart like a kitten's claws.

Various thoughts uncontrollably popped into his mind.

He knew that Dakota and Christine had a good relationship, but was it so good that they insisted on sharing a bed on the last night of filming?

She even deliberately relegated him, her real boyfriend, to the second bedroom?

This feels so much like the stories in those tabloids about female celebrities using marriage of convenience as a cover while actually being in a relationship with their best friends!

"No way!"

Chen Xun stared at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "Am I the one being used as a shield?"

He shuddered at his own wild imagination, but the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

The way Dakota looked at Christine, and the way the two of them whispered to each other at the party earlier...

The key point is that Dakota insisted on sleeping with Christine, which is very ambiguous in itself!

While he was having a long internal monologue, the sounds from the master bedroom gradually subsided, as if the two had already fallen asleep.

"Looks like it's not going to happen tonight!"

Chen Xun turned over in frustration and forced himself to close his eyes.

"Click~"

In his half-asleep state, he vaguely heard a very slight opening sound coming from the master bedroom door.

He suddenly opened his eyes, held his breath, and listened carefully.

In the darkness, there seemed to be extremely faint footsteps approaching the door to the second bedroom.

The doorknob was turned gently, and the door was silently pushed open a crack.

A familiar figure, dressed in a silk nightgown, slipped in like a thief and then gently closed the door behind her.

It's Christine.

By the faint moonlight filtering in through the window, Chen Xun could see the smug smile on her face, a hint of mischief in her eyes, and the languidness of someone who had just gotten out of bed.

"Why did you come here?"

Chen Xun lowered his voice and propped himself up.

"Shhh-keep it down!"

Christine tiptoed to the bedside and slipped into his blankets like a slippery fish, bringing with her a cool breeze and her fragrance.

"Dakota is asleep~"

She leaned against him, her body warm and soft.

Chen Xun naturally reached out and pulled her into his arms, instantly filling the emptiness he had felt earlier.

"Have you finished talking?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Chen Xun nuzzled her hair with his chin.

"Hmm~"

Christine found a comfortable position in his arms, her voice sleepy yet slightly amused:

"We talked a lot! Including whether someone was overthinking things!"

Chen Xun froze: "What nonsense am I thinking?"

What do you think?

Christine looked up at him in the darkness, her eyes sparkling:

"Are you wondering if there's some special relationship between Dakota and me?"

Chen Xun was a little embarrassed by having his secret exposed, but luckily his burning face couldn't be seen in the darkness.

"No……"

"Come on, you!"

Christine chuckled softly, tracing circles on his chest with her finger:

"Dakota is just childish and possessive! She feels that I spend less time with her after I started dating, so she's deliberately causing trouble!"

"And she is indeed quite curious about you!"

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious what kind of magic you have that managed to win over the stubborn Christine!"

Christine's tone was slightly teasing:

"I even made a bet with her, saying you definitely wouldn't get angry and would obediently sleep in the second bedroom!"

"So I'm part of your bet?"

Chen Xun was both amused and exasperated, feeling like he was being manipulated by these two women.

"I'm here to make it up to you now~"

Christine leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth.

The kiss quickly deepened.

In the dark, the sense of touch becomes exceptionally acute.

The fabric of the pajamas rustled as it rubbed against each other, and her breathing gradually became heavier.

Chen Xun's hand lingered on her smooth back, and he could feel her skin was slightly hot.

Just as passion was building and Chen Xun's hand began to wander downwards, Christine suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered breathlessly in his ear:

"No way~"

Chen Xun paused, looking at her with some confusion.

"Dakota's next door..."

Christine's voice carried a suppressed desire and helplessness:

"The soundproofing is bad... and I promised to sleep with her, so if I sneak out for too long, she'll find out!"

It felt like an arrow was on a bowstring, but it was abruptly stopped.

Chen Xun was so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall; the restless fire within him had nowhere to vent.

Christine looked at his frustrated expression, feeling both sorry for him and amused, and gave him a comforting kiss on the cheek.

Then it went straight down.

hiss~

Chen Xun gasped.

……

It's all over.

Christine lingered in bed for a while, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeats, but ultimately dared not stay too long.

"I'm going back!"

Christine reluctantly got up, put her nightgown back on, and slipped out of the second bedroom quietly, just as she had come.

Silence returned to the room.
