After several days of physical training and basic skills practice, the three of them have actually learned quite a bit in their current combat training.
Liu Suoyu had even developed a strong interest in fencing. Covered in sweat, she followed Cheng Qing back to the villa, saying, "I think this is great! I'll practice it myself after the variety show ends."
Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Of course, we can find a better teacher."
Losi, her hair damp with sweat, stared at Cheng Qing's back with her large, dark eyes, like grapes.
Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Cheng Qing turned around and said with a wry smile, "What are you looking at?"
Losi turned her head and smiled smugly: "I'm going to take a shower, do you want to come?"
Upon hearing this question, Liu Suoyu and the others all looked at Cheng Qing with strange expressions. Cheng Qing knew what they were thinking, but couldn't explain, so he could only helplessly reach out and pull Luo Xi upstairs.
Liu Suoyu and Lin Shandie exchanged a glance and quickly followed, shouting, "Let's go take a shower too! Let's go take a shower too!"
Cheng Qing was speechless. He glanced back at the two of them and thankfully they dispersed after they reached the second floor.
Once upstairs, Cheng Qing closed the door and asked Luo Xi with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "Why are you talking so strangely today?"
Losi tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, saying, "It's clearly the teacher who's thinking something inappropriate, yet you say I'm talking strangely. You're really strange."
As she spoke, she turned around and started taking off her clothes. This morning, Losi was wearing a white tank top and a thin shirt jacket. After she finished speaking, she didn't care that Cheng Qing was right there and took off her jacket directly.
She already possessed an exceptionally beautiful face, with skin as smooth and flawless as snow.
The visual effect of this silk is so exquisite that you can't help but want to reach out and touch it. It must be so smooth that you'll love it.
Cheng Qing paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Then you go first!"
Losi squinted and turned to look at her: "Teacher, don't you always say we're all girls? Why are you so nervous about me taking off my clothes?"
Cheng Qing blushed at her teasing and retorted, "Even if we're all girls, there's no reason for us to stare at you while you take off your clothes!"
Seeing that Losie was still wearing her white tank top, she sighed and pushed Losie into the bathroom: "Go take a shower quickly, I need to shower too!"
Just as I imagined, the touch of my palm on her back was as smooth as a baby's skin.
Luo Xi turned back and gave her a disapproving look before going into the bathroom and closing the door. Cheng Qing had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a loud shout from inside: "Teacher, it's all your fault for pushing me in! I didn't even grab my clothes!"
Cheng Qing stumbled and shouted at the door, "Stop shouting, I'll help you get it."
Losi: "You need to hurry!!!"
Helpless, Cheng Qing had no choice but to open Luo Xi's wardrobe herself. Luo Xi's clothes were a size smaller than hers, and when Cheng Qing was looking for clothes, she unconsciously picked out an outfit that she wanted to see.
Before leaving, she remembered she needed to take her underwear and bra, so she awkwardly opened a small drawer to prepare them for her.
After the clothes were taken inside, Losi had already turned on the shower through the glass door, and the steam obscured her face.
Cheng Qing placed the clothes at the door, then closed the door and left.
From inside the bathroom, Losi kicked the door hard and cursed, "Blockhead."
When Cheng Qing brought Luo Xi downstairs, they found that the three people on the island were still making a cake.
Zhang Lingling watched their first cake, which was actually quite good, with a sense of utter despair.
that is……
Zhang Lingling pointed to a blue cake and asked, "Why is this cake deflated?"
Li Mingyao was furious: "How do I know why it's deflated?"
Zhang Lingling choked, then turned to look at Feng Qiuyi's cake: "Is this cake hollow?"
Feng Qiuyi turned her head away and looked elsewhere, weakly replying, "It got eaten by the oven."
Zhang Lingling glanced up at him, but ultimately couldn't say anything. If she spoke too harshly, Feng Qiuyi's fans would curse her to death.
Zhang Lingling could only look at Ye Lingyun's cake and nod in satisfaction; at least it was still a cake.
While she was scoring the cake, she heard someone coming downstairs. Zhang Lingling put away her lifeless look and looked up.
Cheng Qing came downstairs wearing a white shirt and black wide-leg pants, her long hair flowing down her back. Behind her, Luo Xi wore a beige knit sweater and a black star-patterned tulle skirt, looking serene and sweet.
She pulled Cheng Qing's hair and followed closely behind her.
When Cheng Qing reached the first floor, she pulled her hair back, turned around, and asked with a smile, "Why are you pulling my hair?"
Losy smiled sweetly and said charmingly, "Your hair is so long! It's down to your waist! But the ends are split."
Cheng Qing went to the kitchen, explaining, "It's normal. Unlike you guys, I don't have much time to take care of myself. I'll just cut it short when I get back."
Losi quickly caught up with her, exclaiming in surprise, "You want to cut it off? No! What a waste! I can help you with that!"
Cheng Qing turned around and smiled, coldly reminding her, "That's only temporary."
Losi was taken aback and almost said: "Or we could do it for a lifetime?"
But thinking back to that night in the car, Cheng Qing deliberately avoided the topic, so Luo Xi ultimately chose not to cross that line too far.
At the central island counter, three students finished making a cake and began cleaning up. Seeing Cheng Qing taking Luo Xi to the kitchen again, Ye Lingyun suddenly felt envious and said with a hint of sourness, "Last week, I cooked all by myself."
Cheng Qing paused, turned back and smiled at Ye Lingyun: "Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Cheng Qing turned and went inside. Luo Xi followed behind her, her hands behind her back, skipping and hopping as she went in.
Ye Lingyun only received a "thank you for your hard work," and felt even more bitter. How could some people have such bad tempers yet be so lucky? She was clearly more gentle and obedient, yet she couldn't even find someone who would truly love and cherish her.
The two people who entered the kitchen naturally didn't care about her feelings.
For Luo Xi, she and Ye Lingyun were incompatible. For Cheng Qing, Ye Lingyun was the female lead, and sooner or later someone like Li Mingyao would dote on her.
Unlike Losy, who was criticized because of a show and couldn't find a way out, becoming increasingly gloomy and even disliked by her fans.
Cheng Qing felt sorry for her! So, naturally, she would be more accommodating to her.
Entering the kitchen, naturally, meant cooking again. Cheng Qing could only roll up her sleeves and glance back at Luo Xi, who was grinning from ear to ear. Cheng Qing chuckled, "Why are you so happy?"
"Because I'm just going through the motions these days, I should enjoy myself while I can, because maybe I won't be happy tomorrow?"
Cheng Qing was completely confused. He reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "What are you saying? I can't understand a word you're saying. Let's cook!"
Luo Xi helped Cheng Qing prepare and wash the vegetables. Cheng Qing chopped the vegetables and heated the pan at the same time. Soon, lunch was ready little by little.
After finishing cooking, Cheng Qing took off her apron and wiped down the entire kitchen. Luo Xi followed suit, wiping everything down, but then had nothing to do. Watching Cheng Qing tidy up inside and out, she secretly hid behind Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing didn't even turn around. While wiping the countertop, she said, "Be careful not to step on you later."
Losi pouted. "Step on me? Try stepping on me."
"I said you..." Cheng Qing suddenly stood up and turned around. Luo Xi was startled and nervously took a step back. Her center of gravity shifted backward, and she immediately lost her balance.
Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. Luo Xi had a slender waist, which Cheng Qing could easily wrap his arms around with one hand. The feeling of holding her was soft, like holding a handful of cotton.
After pulling Luo Xi into his arms, Cheng Qing calmed himself down and quickly let go.
Then he glanced at Losi up and down and said, "Although I didn't step on you, you almost fell."
Losi was still reeling from the sweet fragrance and strong embrace that had enveloped her when she was pulled inside. It was a feeling of both security and a flutter in her heart.
She almost couldn't resist hugging her back, but she didn't. She just blushed and secretly glanced at her.
Cheng Qing had a distinct jawline, thin, rosy lips, and the strands of hair that brushed against her face felt both itchy and numb.
As a result, this woman who didn't understand romance tried to educate him, and Rossi replied, "Everyone makes mistakes, even horses stumble."
Cheng Qing smiled and nodded after hearing this: "That makes sense, but you should still be careful, because I might not be by your side next time."
When Luo Xi saw that she was actually going to lecture Cheng Qing, she angrily stomped on Cheng Qing's foot.
Cheng Qing felt a sharp pain in the back of her foot, but fearing that she would scream and be heard outside, she could only turn pale and bear it in silence.
Watching Losie storm off, she took a breath, squatted down, touched her feet, and comforted herself, thinking: at least she was merciful and didn't step on my toes.
Then, with a bitter expression, he thought: What have I done to offend you?
Lin Shandie, who came in to get the bowls and chopsticks, saw her squatting on the ground and asked curiously, "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Cheng Qing looked up at her, smiled innocently, and said, "Squats."
Lin Shandie: "..."
After lunch, the group sat on the sofa to rest, waiting for the afternoon's activities.
The morning live stream followed the racing team, and the ratings weren't as good as when it followed Cheng Qing. But these are all under contract; we can't just follow Cheng Qing and Luo Xi.
In the afternoon, Kong Mingyan announced: "This afternoon, we received a message from your agent saying that you haven't worked for a long time, so we need to take you to shoot a set of photos today."
Cheng Qing, Zhang Lingling, and Zhou Yong exchanged glances, instinctively feeling that the afternoon's activities had nothing to do with them.
Although it's called an agent program, the contract for this variety show is actually for three months. It's similar to joining a TV drama production team, making it a relatively large-scale variety show.
Now that almost two months have passed, unless there is a real job, it is unlikely that every agent will suddenly ask them to take photos.
Therefore, this was clearly arranged by the production team.
Cheng Qing, Zhang Lingling, and the other two were sitting on the sofa, thinking they could take a nap in the afternoon, when Kong Mingyan said with a smile, "The three teachers should also get ready, we're about to leave."
Zhou Yong was startled: "We're going too?"
Kong Mingyan grinned and said, "Go ahead! You're one of us too."
Zhou Yong: "..." That's not what they said when we first met. Isn't this level of participation quite high?
Finally, the three of them set off with the convoy. Of course, as always, each team drove their own car, and the photo studio they were heading to was the largest wedding photography studio in Fanhe City.
Cheng Qing stood at the door, speechless, and asked, "This is... a wedding photo?"
Kong Mingyan patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, "The main thing is that the photographers here have ideas. Don't be nervous, let's go!"
Cheng Qing: "..."
Meanwhile, Losi was already standing in front of the glass wall, looking at the floor-length white wedding dress in the display case with a beaming smile on her face.
She turned back to Cheng Qing with a smile, pointed to the wedding dress, and asked her, "Does it look good?"
Under the sunlight, her smile was captivating; that phrase perfectly described Losi. Cheng Qing wanted to say, "She's more beautiful than any flower."
But in the end, she changed her mind and said, "It looks good."
Luo Xi glanced down at herself, then looked up with a charming smile and asked Cheng Qing, "Shall I try one on for you?"
Cheng Qing was stunned: "...Why are you trying on wedding dresses?"
Losi choked, and finally said angrily, "...Hmph, I'm going to try it, take it or leave it."
With that, she turned and went inside. Cheng Qing choked for a moment, then quickly followed her in. She overheard Luo Xi telling the sales assistant, "I want to try the one by the door; I want the best makeup artist."
