Losi countered with, "What is it?"
Cheng Qing tilted her head, but still couldn't remember, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She and Luo Xi bent down to wash the chestnuts clean, then poured them into a large basket to drain.
After the two of them finished tidying up, they returned to the kitchen on the first floor, where the supplies they had bought the day before came in handy.
I didn't have time to go out to buy anything today, but I stocked up on a lot of things in the refrigerator yesterday.
Losi watched expectantly as Cheng Qing took out a bag of shrimp to prepare. Losi asked Cheng Qing, "What am I doing?"
Cheng Qing smiled and said to her, "Go to the backyard and pick some of your favorite vegetables. I'll cook noodles for you tonight."
Losy nodded, picked up a small basin, and prepared to go to the backyard. But just as she turned around, she saw the director and his assistant come in.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi looked at them strangely. What wind blew the director here?
As soon as Kong Mingyan entered, without saying anything else, he asked with a sullen smile, "Did you forget something today?"
Cheng Qing asked doubtfully, "Yes... there is such a feeling."
Kong Mingyan: "How can you say it's a feeling? Didn't you guys remember that besides the daily tasks, you also have a daily task of interacting with fans for an hour every day?"
Suddenly, Cheng Qing and Luo Xi were struck dumb.
Haha, I already noticed.
[I was wondering this afternoon why I didn't start a live stream. Did I just forget?]
I even came up with all sorts of excuses for Teacher Cheng. (doge)
Losi: "Huh?"
With a slightly stiff expression, Cheng Qing said, "...I think so?"
Kong Mingyan smiled kindly: "Does it seem so?"
Cheng Qing took a breath and stubbornly insisted, "I didn't start a live stream, and you didn't remind me! You can't blame us entirely."
Kong Mingyan took a breath, then maintained his smile and said, "So, am I here to deliver punishment to you?"
Who wants you to give them this as a gift?
Cheng Qing sighed; she hadn't expected to get away with it. During the few days of filming suspension, she had carefully observed her and Luo Xi's on-screen pairing.
In short, they could probably be called the number one autumn couple of the year. Kong Mingyan would never let himself and Luo Xi off the hook, given the opportunity to punish them.
Cheng Qing resigned himself to his fate and asked, "What punishment?"
Kong Mingyan smiled slightly and said very kindly, "It's not a big punishment. You just need to give your phone to the other party, dial the first phone number in your phone, and have a two-minute conversation."
Cheng Qing nodded, feeling that this wasn't difficult for her. After exchanging phones with Luo Xi, Cheng Qing first called the first number in her contacts.
The first name on the phone book was A Bing. Cheng Qing didn't know who was on the other end, and Luo Xi's expression was also very calm.
Because it was a punishment, the phone was connected to a speakerphone. After two beeps, a soft, laughing male voice came from the other end: "Oh, that's rare! Bao'er actually called me."
Cheng Qing was stunned, Kong Mingyan at the scene was also stunned, and everyone in front of the live broadcast room was stunned.
But Cheng Qing quickly composed himself, glanced at Luo Xi, and seeing Luo Xi's calm expression, Cheng Qing felt confident.
She smiled and said softly, "Hello."
Ah Bing immediately noticed something was wrong: "Huh? This isn't Bao'er's voice! Who are you?"
Cheng Qing: "I recorded the show with Luo Xi. My name is Cheng Qing."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a loud voice suddenly exclaimed, "You're Cheng Qing???!!!"
Startled by this reaction, Cheng Qing immediately turned to look at Luo Xi. Luo Xi, seeing A Bing's reaction, also frowned, clearly unsure of what the man was about to say.
After learning Cheng Qing's identity, A Bing suddenly became excited: "Oh my, I've heard about you before, this is truly a rare guest! Why did you think of calling your cousin?"
cousin?
Before Cheng Qing could answer, A Bing asked with a smile, "Cheng Qing! How many people are in your family? How about we get together for a meal sometime?"
Hahaha, my cousin is so straight!
[Cousin: (doge emoji) I've really gone to great lengths for my cousin!]
What is all this?
Losi blushed furiously, snatched the phone, and yelled at the person on the other end, "Have you no shame? What nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing Luo Xi's voice, A Bing advised her, "Little girl, what are you being so stubborn about? You should try to fight for it! Look how worried your cousin is about you."
Lossie blushed even more: "It's being broadcast live!!!"
Ah Bing's stunned silence lasted only a moment before she laughed again: "That's great! Declare sovereignty! Let me tell you..."
Did they say anything after that? Of course not, Losi just killed him!
The viewers in the live chat laughed.
This means they've already officially approved it at home!
My teacher, Ms. Cheng, is completely stunned.
[The person upstairs is shameless! Is she just terrified? I think she's secretly gloating!]
Teacher Cheng was indeed secretly smiling.
The princess's family is so kind, haha, they're even planning to treat her to a meal.
Luo Xi knew without even thinking what the comments would look like; blushing, she put her phone away. Cheng Qing asked Kong Mingyan, "Did I pass this test?"
Kong Mingyan could only say, "Of course it's over."
Luo Xi then took Cheng Qing's phone, turned it on, opened the contacts, and was completely stunned...
【Ahhhhh, what did I just see?】
What kind of expression is that?
[Hasn't it been projected yet?]
Seeing Luo Xi press down on him, Cheng Qing was also stunned, blinking, clearly not having reacted yet.
Losi took a deep breath and pressed it with trembling hands.
The live chat immediately erupted with questions: "What's going on? My princess is nervous!"
Who is this important person?
This guy seems to be more than just a simple character!
Cheng Qing had obviously noticed that she hadn't used the phone's contact list before. So although she knew there were many people in it, she didn't know who the first caller was.
Kong Mingyan conducted another surprise inspection, and she didn't even have time to look at the first phone number.
Soon, the screen of the phone call was projected, and the message read: "Dad."
Cheng Qing: "..."
[...]
Holy crap! That's awesome!
[Did she meet the parents directly? No wonder the princess was so nervous.]
[Hahaha, Teacher Cheng is genuinely stunned this time.]
[Teacher Cheng doesn't even know the first phone number on her own phone?]
[By the way, you guys know what? I honestly didn't know who the first one was!]
[But if it's family, the first one should be easy to remember, right?]
Let's wait and see!
[The princess is starting to get nervous, it's hilarious!]
In this lively atmosphere, the call finally went through.
A kind, middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the line, his voice tinged with amusement as he asked, "Qing, you finally called your dad?"
Upon hearing the voice, Losi became so nervous that she fumbled with her hands and feet, completely at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Cheng Qing stepped forward to her side. Although he didn't say or do anything, this silent support truly reassured Luo Xishi.
Only then did Losi speak up and say hello: "Hello, I'm Losi."
The other side suddenly fell silent, and there was no sound for a long time.
Losi's heart skipped a beat. She remembered what Cheng Qing had said yesterday: her parents weren't actually very supportive of same-sex marriage.
So, do they really hate themselves?
Seeing that Luo Xi's face was a little pale, Cheng Qing lowered his head slightly, put his cheek close to Luo Xi's ear, and spoke softly into the microphone of the phone in Luo Xi's hand: "Dad."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a smile broke out: "Qing! This is your friend, right? You two should get along well."
Cheng Qing smiled, and Luo Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Qing: "Mm."
Seeing that Cheng Qing had responded, the man then said to Lucy, "Miss Luo? I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Losi obediently replied, "Uncle, it's no trouble at all."
"That's good, that's good." The middle-aged man repeated twice, then laughed heartily and said, "My Qingqing is a bit withdrawn and doesn't like to talk much, please bear with her."
Luo Xi was taken aback and turned to look at Cheng Qing. Aloof? Quiet?
This doesn't fit at all!
Cheng Qing was not afraid. She raised her eyebrows and looked back, a smile on her lips, exuding a carefree air as if she were someone to be watched.
Losi snapped out of her daze, glared at her, and then said seriously to the man opposite her, "Actually, it's always been Teacher Cheng who's been lenient with me. Um... she's very nice." That was the only way Losi could reply, slightly embarrassed.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, before someone said with relief, "That's good, that's good."
Seeing that it was almost time, Cheng Qing took the phone from Luo Xi and said to the other end, "Dad, thank you for today. You can go and get some rest now!"
The person on the other end was very pleased to hear Cheng Qing's words, and hung up the phone, thus ending the call successfully.
My princess is so well-behaved in front of Daddy Cheng!
Teacher Cheng is taking such good care of Losi.
