Cheng Qing smiled gently as always: "No! I'm applying medicine for you!"
His tone was as gentle as ever.
Losi: "..."
The two stopped talking, and Cheng Qing quickly covered the wound with gauze to prevent bacterial infection.
After tidying up, Cheng Qing picked up a coat and draped it over Luo Xi, then packed up the box and put it back.
Luo Xi followed behind her. When Cheng Qing turned around, she wasn't paying attention and almost bumped into her. Fortunately, Cheng Qing reacted quickly and stopped steadily.
She leaned against the wardrobe behind her, looking down at the whorl of hair on Rossi's head, which was just as cute as Rossi's!
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qing asked curiously.
Lossie reached out and grabbed Cheng Qing's sleeve. Cheng Qing was wearing a white dress and a black and white checkered coat today. As Lossie grabbed it, the neckline slipped down her arm, revealing her collarbone.
In the footage, Losi is almost leaning against Cheng Qing's chest.
However, in reality, the two are still quite far apart.
Luo Xi didn't dare to look up: "What did Zhou Minjia say to you?"
Cheng Qing was taken aback, then tilted his head to look at her expression. Looking up at Luo Xi from below, he saw unease.
She paused for a moment, then reached out and touched Rossi's cheek.
Smooth and tender.
"She said she saw you hit Ye Lingyun."
Losi flinched: "Do you believe her?"
Cheng Qing: "I believe you."
Luo Xi immediately looked up at her, her face full of grievance: "Hmph." Then she turned to leave, but Cheng Qing grabbed her and sighed: "Let me finish! Just because I believe what she said is true doesn't mean I don't believe you!"
Luo Xi felt a little better and looked at Cheng Qing, saying, "That day, Ye Lingyun stepped on me first. She was wearing high heels and stepped on me!!!"
Losi was extremely aggrieved: "She knew perfectly well that I was most susceptible to provocation, she was just deliberately trying to provoke me."
Cheng Qing nodded: "Mhm."
Losi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What kind of attitude is this?!"
Cheng Qing blinked, thought for a moment, and cautiously replied, "Shared hatred against a common enemy?"
Losi: "..."

While in the car, Liu Suoyu whispered to Cheng Qing, "Teacher, did you make her angry again?"
Cheng Qing was also deep in thought, head down: "I'm still trying to figure out where I went wrong?"
Liu Suoyu: "..."
Seeing that Cheng Qing was really thinking seriously, Lin Shandie couldn't help but secretly smile. To be honest, it's no wonder that the number of CP fans is increasing. The chemistry between these two is just too captivating.
The photographer just showed the director some scenes from inside, and she secretly watched some of it too, almost getting a nosebleed.
Soon, the group returned to the villa.
At this moment, Li Mingyao, Ye Lingyun, and Feng Qiuyi were making a cake with Zhang Lingling.
Ye Lingyun was probably not very skilled at it either, as her face, hair, and clothes were covered in cream.
Li Mingyao stood to one side with his arms crossed, clearly having given up.
Feng Qiuyi was very serious, but he was not as good as Ye Lingyun! He threw himself in front of the cake, almost turning himself into the cake.
In the end, Zhang Lingling only managed to offer Ye Lingyun a couple of perfunctory compliments.
Meanwhile, the other group, led by Zhou Yong, had also returned and were resting in the living room.
When Kong Mingyan saw Cheng Qing and the others return, he asked the assistant director, "How's it going over there?"
The assistant director gave a lewd smile and said, "Very good, very good."
Kong Mingyan: "???" What's so good about it?
Then he immediately noticed the bandage on Rossi's left arm. The director was so startled that he stood up quickly: "Oh dear, what happened? Are you injured?" If her agent found out, she'd kill me.
Losi said bluntly, "The NPC you hired is a fan of Ye Lingyun. She took revenge on me, and I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Qing covered her mouth from behind, then smiled and said to Kong Mingyan, "This is a rather complicated matter. You'll find out more when the show airs. I'll take her upstairs to change her clothes; they're stained with blood."
Luo Xi struggled for a moment, and Cheng Qing reached out and pinched her waist.
Luo Xi is ticklish, and when Cheng Qing pinches her, she giggles in Cheng Qing's palm.
Then, the two left under the director's shocked, numb, and suspicious gaze.

Chapter 10
Back in the room, Luo Xi pulled Cheng Qing's hand away and said unhappily, "What are you doing! Be more reserved."
Girls often make these kinds of jokes, so Cheng Qing didn't take it to heart. She patted Luo Xi's head and said, "Some things don't need to be said. When it airs, others will naturally find out."
Losi retorted domineeringly, "I'm in the right, so why can't I say it?"
Cheng Qing was exhausted after a long day and hadn't slept well the night before. She felt tired as soon as she got back to her room.
After listening to Luo Xi's words, he reminded her, "Ye Lingyun is not entirely in the wrong in this matter. Besides, you've been in the right in quite a few situations these past few episodes, but how were the broadcast results? You've received a lot of criticism, haven't you?"
She turned back and smiled at Rossi, who couldn't argue with her and turned her head away unhappily.
Cheng Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Sometimes being in the right doesn't necessarily get you support; taking a step back can have a better effect."
Cheng Qing untied her black hair, combed it smooth, and then secured it with a black hair tie, saying, "I'm going to take a shower and rest for a bit."
Lossie sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Go ahead!"
Judging from Luo Xi's tone, she didn't seem angry. Cheng Qing was surprised: "You're not angry anymore?"
Losi narrowed her eyes: "Are you going to wash or not?"
Cheng Qing immediately admitted defeat: "Wash, wash, wash."
After watching Cheng Qing enter the bathroom, Luo Xi finally lay down on the bed. Actually, Cheng Qing was right; Luo Xi was a very domineering person, but not unreasonable.
Many times, when she lost her temper, there was always a reason.
However, during television editing, this reason is sometimes deliberately cut out or blurred, while the parts where she loses her temper are amplified. Even when she is in the right, she is still criticized online.
Rossi knew, but she disdained to explain. Over time, even the crew members felt she was difficult to get along with.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and for some reason, it made Rossi feel particularly at ease. In her hazy state, she saw someone wrapped in a bath towel walk up to her, but her eyelids were heavy, and she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Cheng Qing glanced at the sleeping Luo Xi, and her smile softened slightly.
She grabbed a white shirt from the hanger and put it on, then chose a pair of black shorts. She then knelt down in front of Rossi. Rossi looked different when she was asleep than when she was awake; sleeping Rossi was exceptionally well-behaved.
Like a sleeping angel, they draw your gaze.
Cheng Qing reached out and smoothed her slightly upturned hair, saying, "It's definitely different from what I read in the book. It seems everything is just for the female lead!"
Cheng Qing simply sighed, then tucked Luo Xi in. She went downstairs and saw Director Kong Mingyan and several big stars gathered together watching a video.
Curious, she went over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The group scattered like birds and beasts, and Kong Mingyan even slammed his computer shut and said, "No! I was just checking on the situation at the racetrack today."
Cheng Qing, unsuspecting, said to Kong Mingyan, "Luo Xi is asleep. Are there any more tasks? I'll help her!"
How could an ordinary person possibly help a celebrity with their tasks? If you encounter someone with a bad temper, they might yell at you, "Who do you think you are?!"
But Kong Mingyan didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and said with a smile, "No rush, no rush, everything's fine today, everyone go and rest!"
Feng Qiuyi and the others looked at him with suspicion, wondering if such a good thing was really possible.
As soon as Kong Mingyan finished speaking, he realized he'd blurted something out. There was nothing he could do; a group of people were watching Cheng Qing and Luo Xi's video in the changing room, and being caught red-handed—even as the director, he was flustered!
Cheng Qing nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and rest for a bit too."
Cheng Qing was already tired, so after saying that, she yawned and went upstairs.
As soon as Cheng Qing left, Kong Mingyan said to his assistant, "This is incredible! In just two days of live streaming, the number of CP fans has exceeded 100,000. If this video is released again..."
The assistant was speechless. At first, she thought Cheng Qing was just currying favor with the celebrity, but now, looking at Luo Xi, she realized that Luo Xi herself was also cooperating quite well. Besides, the rise of the CP (couple pairing) was unstoppable, and Cheng Qing already had one foot in the entertainment industry.
"The chemistry between the two is really good; this is the kind of combination I like the most in the entertainment industry."
Kong Mingyan laughed: "This will probably be a huge CP (couple) community, and I'm looking forward to it too."
***
When Luo Xi woke up, Cheng Qing was still asleep. Cheng Qing's sleeping appearance was completely different from her awake appearance; when she was asleep, she was so serene and aloof that Luo Xi always felt she might leave at any moment.
She frowned and moved closer to Cheng Qing, looking at Cheng Qing's long eyelashes, and muttered unhappily, "They're so long! They seem longer than mine?"
She reached out and gently brushed the tips of Cheng Qing's eyelashes, causing Cheng Qing's eyelids to flutter. Luo Xi quickly withdrew her hand, acting as if it were none of her business.
Cheng Qing was sleeping soundly, and when she woke up, her eyes seemed to still have some physiological tears.
She yawned, tears streaming down her face. She wiped them away, then propped herself up and sat up, glancing at Losi beside her and asking, "Awake?"
She had just woken up, and her voice still had a slightly alluring husky quality.
Losi said calmly, "It's time to get up."
Cheng Qing glanced out the window; the setting sun had painted the room red, and it was indeed getting late.
The two went downstairs. Today, Kong Mingyan probably considered that Luo Xi was injured, so he had dinner delivered from outside.
After dinner, the winners and their prizes were announced in the living room.
Of the three people following Zhang Lingling, Ye Lingyun managed to make a cake that looked somewhat presentable. Therefore, Ye Lingyun from Zhang Lingling's group is entitled to a reward of 3,000 yuan.
In Zhou Yong's group, Lin Zichen drove well beyond the target, securing first place in the race. He thus earned recognition and a reward of 3000 yuan.
