Seeing that Cheng Qing had nothing to say, Kong Mingyan said again, "This song was really good today!"
Cheng Qing sighed again. She had been forced to sing another song today. She couldn't keep going on like this; it was impossible for all the talented singers she knew to have retired to a life of leisure.
Kong Mingyan suppressed a laugh and asked, "So, the friend who sang this song doesn't want to debut either?"
Cheng Qing: "...Hmm. By the way, even though my phone was confiscated, I can still listen to music on my MP3 player, right?"
Kong Mingyan said of course, and Cheng Qing sighed, telling herself she should learn the songs of this world. Otherwise, it really wouldn't make sense later.
Everyone in the van closed their eyes to rest.
When we arrived at the place, we discovered that it was Aiqing Lake, which we had visited before.
As before, he was surrounded by fans when he got out of the car. Kong Mingyan had arrived early and was well-prepared, and the fans stood obediently outside the prepared barriers.
When Cheng Qing got out of the car, a loud shout immediately erupted from the crowd.
"Ahhhhh, Teacher Cheng is here!"
"Teacher Cheng!!!"
"I love you so much!!! Teacher, look at me!!!"
Cheng Qing had just gotten out of the car and glanced at Ai Qing Lake when she was startled by the shout. She turned around and looked at the fan, who was a cute little girl holding a cartoon doll dressed in a cartoon fencing outfit. The doll looked like herself?
Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. She saw three students behind her getting off the bus one by one, and sure enough, there was a series of shouts from the fan group.
No matter who got off the bus, fans would shout, "I love you!!!"
Cheng Qing found it amusing and also thought the fans were quite adorable. As long as they don't collectively attack one person, who isn't a cute little fan?
Luo Xi leaned out of the car, saw Ai Qing Lake, and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Why are we here again?"
Kong Mingyan said with a smile, "Because the largest lake in Fanhe City is Aiqing Lake, if we want to go boating on the lake, we have to come to Fanhe City."
Losi immediately frowned: "Swimming again?"
Cheng Qing smiled and turned to look at her: "What are you worried about? Come down!"
Losi said rather unhappily, "I'm worried about you."
Cheng Qing laughed heartily, her laughter clear and melodious. It was infectious, bringing joy to everyone around. Like the winter sun, it drew people from the south to follow its rays, seeking warmth in the cold winter.
Cheng Qing smiled at Luo Xi, reached out and pinched her cheek, and said, "Why are you worried about me? Can you take care of yourself? Taking care of yourself is the best thing for me."
Losi bit her lower lip, unconvinced: "Of course I can take care of myself!"
Cheng Qing took a step back, looked her up and down, and asked with a smile, "Are you getting off the bus first?"
Losi was startled, looked down, and realized she was still inside the car. Her face flushed, and she dashed out of the car.
Kong Mingyan said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Luo Xi. If you lose in a moment, I'll punish your teacher."
Cheng Qing choked: "..."
Of course, Luo Xi was unconvinced and turned to glare at Kong Mingyan, saying, "Why? I'm not convinced."
Upon hearing that Luo Xi had stood up for him, Cheng Qing couldn't help but look at her, her eyes shining brightly with tender affection because of her words.
Luo Xi was taken aback by her gaze and turned her head away. Cheng Qing smiled, her eyes overflowing with tenderness, and softly told Luo Xi, "It's alright! I'd be happy to take your place."
Losi blushed and cursed, "No, whoever loses will be punished."
Kong Mingyan laughed and said, "Just like Luo Xi said, whoever loses will be punished."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter and said, "Let them punish us then!"
Liu Suoyu couldn't help but ask Kong Mingyan, "Is this going to be another round of Werewolf?"
Kong Mingyan: "No, no, it's not that bad. This time it's a real lake tour."
Liu Suoyu: "...I really can't believe what you're saying."
Kong Mingyan: "..."
But Kong Mingyan wasn't lying; he really wasn't playing Werewolf this time. He played a very serious variety show game, where two people teamed up to swim from one end of Aiqing Lake to the other, attacking each other's boats along the way.
Once ashore, the two of you must immediately complete the cookie-eating game.
Kong Mingyan: "The rules of the game are very simple. The cookie is a long chocolate-filled cookie, about 15cm long. Two people eat the cookie together from both ends toward the middle. The less left, the richer the reward."
After Kong Mingyan finished speaking, he stepped aside, and soon all the guests saw a small white tablecloth with pink hearts on the square table behind him. In the middle of the tablecloth was a box of chocolate bars, which looked delicious.
However, this game has been played in many variety shows. It's not like it's the first time everyone has played it, so they're still quite confident.
Ye Lingyun raised her hand and asked, "How do we divide into teams?"
Kong Mingyan: "In the original team, each pair will split up on their own."
Liu Suoyu and Lin Shandie were very good at reading people, so they didn't give Luo Xi a chance to ask and formed a team on their own.
Losi and Cheng Qing naturally teamed up again, and soon, all six ships were ready.
Kong Mingyan led the assembled team to the shore, but this time they were playing Werewolf in a different spot than last time.
Because this boat needs to be rowed manually, it will be at a different dock.
After the group reached the shore, they saw six small boats of different colors floating on the water, swaying with the waves. The mirror-like surface of the water reflected the boats and the people standing on the shore.
Cheng Qing walked to the shore and looked down at the crystal-clear lake water. Luo Xi followed and stood beside her. Cheng Qing found it amusing and turned to ask her, "What are you doing following me?"
Losi was taken aback: "Why...why am I looking at you?"
Cheng Qing shook his head, stood up and said, "I just wanted to check the temperature of the lake."
Losi exclaimed in alarm, "Should we prepare to fall into the water?"
Cheng Qing was amused by her and reached out to rub her head hard: "No need, as long as no one pushes our boat."
Losi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You've just recovered from your illness, so you can't swim anymore."
Cheng Qing was taken aback, her heart suddenly jolted by these words, and in the end she could only lower her head and chuckle softly.
The two returned to the back of the line, and soon staff began distributing life jackets again.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi each took a piece of clothing. While they were getting dressed, Cheng Qing told Luo Xi, "Don't rush on the way. It's okay if you arrive slowly."
Then he took Losi onto the boat, and after they were seated, he asked Losi, "Can you row?"
Losi obediently shook her head and honestly said, "I've never paddled."
Cheng Qing nodded: "I'll paddle in front, you just follow my movements." Luo Xi continued to nod obediently.
"Hey!" Liu Suoyu said with a smile, "Teacher, we can all attack each other later, so paddling fast won't help!"
Cheng Qing wasn't worried: "I see everyone is studying the wooden oars. There probably aren't many people who know how to row. Let's make sure your boat can move forward normally before we launch an attack!"
Liu Suoyu: "..." This is outrageous!
Liu Suoyu decided to teach his teacher how to be a good person, and rowing was one of his hobbies.
Everyone took their seats, and Kong Mingyan smiled and said to them, "Keep it up! There are cameras on the boat, so don't shake too much!"
Qi Shenghui's face turned pale: "Is this something you can just do by not shaking it too much?"
Kong Mingyan smiled and explained to the TV King Qi, "It really wasn't my decision, but Brother Qi, be careful not to run out of shots, or we'll have to go back down and reshoot!"
Qi Shenghui gasped, feeling that the production team was too perverted, but dared not say anything.
All six small boats were seated and ready. After a whistle was sounded, everyone grabbed their oars and began to row.
As expected, it's not that simple for beginners.
From the very beginning, no one could control the direction, let alone move forward.
However, because the six boats were so close together, even Cheng Qing and Liu Suoyu, who knew how to row, were trapped inside.
Cheng Qing was both amused and exasperated. She turned around to tell Luo Xi to be careful, but as soon as she did, she was splashed with water all over her face.
Cheng Qing helplessly wiped the water off her face. As soon as her vision cleared, she saw Luo Xi holding the wooden paddle, her eyes wide open and her face innocent.
Cheng Qing choked: "...You did this?"
Luo Xi shook her head, while Liu Suoyu laughed and shouted from the side, "I clearly saw you splash Teacher Cheng."
Losi panicked: "I didn't mean to! When I used the oar, the water..."
Cheng Qing chuckled: "Don't rush, try to take it slowly."
Losi said cautiously, "Then don't be angry!"
Cheng Qing chuckled, "I'm not angry." Then she saw Luo Xi put two more spoonfuls of water into the boat.
Liu Suoyu laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha."
Cheng Qing glanced at him, then looked at Luo Xi again and said, "No rush, take your time trying." After saying that, Cheng Qing turned around and started rowing out.
Liu Suoyu clicked her tongue and said, "I was so stupid to think of trying to sow discord between you two!"
After her attempt to sow discord failed, Liu Suoyu was also splashed with water by Lin Shandie. Liu Suoyu turned around and stared at Lin Shandie with wide eyes: "Why did you splash water on me?"
Lin Shandie also looked innocent: "No, I just tried to draw it."
Liu Suoyu: "..."
So, the two rowers struggled to paddle their boats out of the melee.
Since the person behind them was a novice, Liu Suoyu and Cheng Qing decided to work hard on their own. Soon, the two of them left the shore and came to the lake.
The boat slowly moved forward on the lake, and looking down, one could see the clear lake bottom and schools of fish playing. Sitting in the back, Losi simply enjoyed the scenery.
Occasionally, when Luo Xi glanced up at Teacher Cheng, who was resignedly rowing ahead, she would smile and shake her head.
There is a feeling of sailing on the blue waves, as if one is traveling in a painting.
The sound of the oars slapping against the water's surface seemed to add a touch of liveliness to the tranquil lake. The ripples caused the wooden boat to rock slightly forward, and as the boat swayed, the passengers felt a sense of joy.
Surrounded by a stunning lake view, and before me stood the person I had been waiting for.
The ripples beneath the boat disappeared, and the lake returned to calm. But soon new ripples arose, and the boat continued to sway forward, as if the whole world consisted only of himself and the people ahead of him.
When they passed that deserted island, Losi remembered the day she hugged herself on the island and then went swimming.
What a handsome teacher! Losi rested her chin on her hand, gazing intently, her face as radiant as a peach blossom.
"Lossie, are you not moving?"
Losi snapped out of her daze and saw Cheng Qing turn around and smile, his eyes full of helplessness: "You were slacking off?"
