Ahhhhhh, right here! I could be sweet for a year!
[What do you mean "right here"? Wasn't it sweet before? No, they were just together, and it was so sweet it made me writhe like a maggot.]
I have diabetes, thank you.
Aside from a few comments, the rest of the comments were just screams.
It's clear that although everyone gets screen time in this episode, the focus remains on these two from beginning to end.
The ending features a sunset, evening glow, wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, and naturally, the figures of two people walking together, while birds return to their nests in the sky.
When the live chat was turned on again, it was filled with blessings from fans. At this moment, the variety show, which was originally a multi-person program, almost became the domain of the two of them.
Kong Mingyan stared at the comments section, speechless: "Although I knew from the beginning that the two had great chemistry and would probably attract a lot of fans, but..."
The assistant smiled wryly: "You didn't see the trending topic 【Cheng Qing】. Just those two words have already made it to number 13 on the trending list."
Kong Mingyan narrowed his eyes again: "Although many people ship couples, it seems like there's never been such a heated reaction before?"
A couple with a miraculous aura seems to have been born.

"What's going on??? What's going on in this episode? Ling Yun only appeared for a total of 20 minutes? And who is this Cheng Qing?"
"She seems like an ordinary person, but her popularity is skyrocketing."
"Just one episode and it became a hit?"
***
"This episode is too unfair! They've been giving so much screen time to an ordinary person? Was that a couple that Losi's company found for her? They're really good at picking people."
"...Are you praising her?"
***
Not to mention, the reactions from different companies varied.
The next day, several celebrities went out for a trip, while the three teachers were left behind. At that time, the production team did not expect that "Promise Forever" would suddenly gain over 800,000 fans overnight, jumping from a small corner of the CP rankings to sixth place, officially beginning the competition for the most popular CP.
Meanwhile, the three teachers, who rarely get a break in the villa, sat in the living room watching TV.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Lingling suddenly became a little worried: "It seems like most of the time, the live streams are being done now, right?"
Zhou Yong squinted at her: "What are you thinking? You don't actually think the live stream cameras will be focused on us, do you?"
"Pfft." Cheng Qing chuckled and shook his head with a smile: "This variety show is called Best Partners, but it's basically just watching celebrities' daily lives. Today, there are only the three of us at the villa, so the live broadcast cameras are definitely on the beach right now."
Zhang Lingling suddenly realized and nodded: "That makes sense."
So, Ms. Cheng would never have guessed that we were watching her, would she?
[Hahaha, can anyone tell her how many fans she has now?]
[Just seeing her sitting there smiling, I think she looks so beautiful.]
I can totally understand why Losi always blushes.
While eating potato chips, Cheng Qing leisurely thought about giving herself a break, after all, taking care of a child is tiring!
Author's Note:
Thank you, little angel who likes it.
Chapter 19
Inside the villa, three teachers sat together watching television, unaware of the high ratings achieved by yesterday's episode of "Best Partners".
Naturally, no one knew that the number of viewers in the live stream had increased many times over just to see Cheng Qing and Luo Xi.
They were completely unaware that the live stream camera was pointed at them, or rather, at Cheng Qing.
The three teachers were left behind, ready to spend the day leisurely.
Halfway through watching TV, Zhang Lingling suddenly looked down and calculated the time, asking, "When we signed the contract, what was the agreed-upon duration of our recording?"
Cheng Qing was taken aback, and then recalled: "When the production team first approached me, they agreed on a recording period of 2-3 weeks."
Zhang Lingling smiled and said, "Me too."
Zhou Yong: "Actually, it's coming soon. We've been here for 5 days now. We were told at the beginning that the recording time would be decided based on the situation. What kind of situation can ordinary people have? In reality, the recording will probably only last for two weeks."
Zhou Yong didn't feel like he'd get much screen time; two weeks of practice was about enough. The production team probably wouldn't add any more time, since a few amateurs there didn't seem to be of much use.
In Zhou Yong's view, inviting them was just a way to form a team for the celebrities to compete, and to find a reasonable excuse.
Cheng Qing, who was standing to the side, seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Two weeks? That should be enough."
According to Li, the biggest conflict between Luo Xi and Ye Lingyun was that they both joined Zhang Lingling's dessert team. As the three spent more time together, their conflicts accumulated.
The first thing I did upon arriving here was to pull Losie out of the dessert team. Now that the three of them are not on the same team, there shouldn't be any problems.
At least in the week I've been here, there haven't seemed to be any conflicts between the three of us.
The viewers in the live chat were stunned when they heard what the others said.
What?! Professor Cheng is leaving?!
【…No way!】
【Aaaaaaah, I don't want to! I want to see her and Losi!】
【Don't leave!!! I won't watch it without Cheng Qing!!!】
After they finished discussing the contract, Zhang Lingling turned to Cheng Qing and invited her, "After the recording is over, I'll treat you to cake at my shop!"
Cheng Qing's cool eyes widened for a moment, then she smiled, nodded, and said thank you.
Zhou Yong felt wronged: "Why didn't you invite me? Am I not handsome enough?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qing burst out laughing.
Zhang Lingling was taken aback, then quickly turned around and repeated the same words to Zhou Yong.
Cheng Qing turned to look out the window, thinking helplessly that once the recording was over, she, Zhang Lingling, and the others would all return to their normal lives.
Losi, it was just a dream she had when she was young!
I had no idea how crazy the comments would be because of the news that I was leaving.
***
Looking at the number of comments on the screen, Kong Mingyan, who was far away on the beach, finally had to admit: "Cheng Qing has really become popular!"
Before the assistant could speak, a stagehand ran over from a short distance away and said, "The hashtag 'Promise Forever' has officially surpassed 900,000 followers."
Kong Mingyan suddenly turned to look at him: "So fast? Wasn't it still at 830,000 this morning?"
The production assistant said, "They said a big influencer edited a video and suddenly recruited a lot of people."
Kong Mingyan chuckled and turned to his assistant, saying, "Go! Bring those three people who are hiding in the villa having a good time over here. Since they're generating buzz, they should record together."
The assistant, suppressing a laugh, nodded: "I'll have the driver go right away."
***
Therefore, when Cheng Qing opened the door and saw the driver, the co-director, and the camera shoved in her face, she looked a little dazed.
The assistant director said with a smile, "Cheng Qing! Let's go!"
Cheng Qing was taken aback: "Go? Go where?"
The assistant director smiled and said, "The beach! The beach up ahead isn't far; it only takes half an hour to drive there."
Cheng Qing froze for a moment: "No, I..." An ordinary person!
The production team said yesterday that today's event on the beach would be a celebrity competition, so they wouldn't be inviting the three teachers. Cheng Qing and the others understood, so they hadn't planned to go at all.
The assistant director laughed and said, "What do you mean 'what do you mean'? Let's go!"
Cheng Qing choked: "Didn't you say today... was a day off?"
The assistant director laughed, "Yeah! The three of you chatting here is so boring to watch in the live stream. The fans keep crying and begging you to go to the beach too."
Cheng Qing was even more confused: "Live stream???!!!"
Zhang Lingling and Zhou Yong, both stunned, were both bewildered: "???"
The assistant director looked surprised: "What? You didn't know? We were going live this morning, right in front of you."
Cheng Qing's expression was one of utter shock: "No, it's...it's facing me..." Why? Why is it facing a group of ordinary people?
Cheng Qing was so shocked by the sudden news that she stammered, but the comments section burst into laughter.
[Hahaha, my poor Teacher Cheng was completely stunned.]
[This is the first time I've seen Teacher Cheng so flustered since the show started airing.]
[So...cute! Hahahaha]
[Hahaha, how can he be so handsome when he's being cool, and so goofy when he's being silly!]
The contrast is so stark, I'm laughing so hard I'm splitting my legs apart.
Zhang Lingling and Zhou Yong: "..."
***
Luo Xi wiped the sand off her face and glared at Li Mingyao and Ye Lingyun opposite her.
She gritted her teeth. In the beach ball game, when it came to a contest between men and women, women were indeed at a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn around and glare at Liu Suoyu: "You're a man too, and the other side is also a man, how can you lose to them!"
Liu Suoyu was in agony: "There's one man on our side!!! There are two men on the other side!!!" How can they be the same!
Losi immediately turned to look at the other side and shouted, "This is so unfair! Why are there two men on the other side?"
Feng Qiuyi laughed loudly: "Which guy would want to be assigned to the dessert team? Now you're complaining about unfairness, why didn't you complain before!"
Losi, feeling rebuffed, immediately retorted with her hands on her hips, "When we were choosing teachers, weren't you the ones who didn't want to choose Qingqing? You can't make cakes yourselves, so you blame the teachers."
Feng Qiuyi threw a beach ball into the air and shouted, "Then let's all rely on our own abilities!"
