[Did they just say one more song? Could it be...?]
【╰(*°▽°*)╯】
[Surprise, here it comes!]
On television, Cheng Qing's shock was once again suppressed by the director, as expected.
She had to accept reality and come up with a song to sing, which made her regret not having properly learned the songs of this world.
Cheng Qing pondered for a while before biting her lip and saying, "I'll sing a cappella."
On the television, Kong Mingyan smiled meaningfully, glanced at Cheng Qing, and asked, "Looks like it's another song by your friend?"
Cheng Qing gritted her teeth: "Exactly."
Kong Mingyan began setting a trap: "Then how do you know your friend would let you put it on the show?"
Cheng Qing could only continue making things up: "I've already asked."
Kong Mingyan continued, "If I do the voice acting, he won't sue me, will he?"
Cheng Qing had no idea what this meant. She simply replied, "No, it's authorized."
In the program, Kong Mingyan smiled.
In reality, Cheng Qing was stunned. What kind of smile was that?
Then suddenly a familiar tone appeared in my ear...
Is this... the prelude?
Cheng Qing was shocked. Music has no borders and therefore no world.
Cheng Qing sang the entire song, and even with slight differences, the music experts in this world still managed to reproduce the melody of the song almost perfectly.
The program begins with a slightly melancholic prelude, showcasing the highlights of this episode scene by scene.
The moment Cheng Qing spoke, the scene jumped back to the doorway where Cheng Qing and Luo Xi first met.
A single glance between them felt like a thousand years.
Cheng Qing's clear voice trembled slightly as she began to sing:
I want to see you smile.
I want to mess with you
I want to hold you in my arms.
At this moment, the TV was showing Luo Xi arguing during the Werewolf game and Cheng Qing pulling her into his arms.
One second they were arguing with flushed faces
They can make up in the next second.
Cheng Qing was locked out, Luo Xi was blushing and pressed against the door, and there was the sound of someone outside the door slowly coaxing Luo Xi to open the door.
"Don't be afraid to cry"
Don't be afraid to call
Because you are my pride
A pair of eyes followed you around
My heart is already ready.
On the day of the wedding photo shoot, did Luo Xi know that Cheng Qing, who was following behind her, had a smiling gaze on her, and that her eyes were always on her?
Just once, I'll take you to see the end of time.
Laugh heartily on a sunny day
Noisy and boisterous in the free and unrestrained air
Do you know what my only desire is?
Time and again, the scenes of the two eating together, feeding each other, and teasing each other flashed across the television screen. There was also Rossi's hearty laughter in the car, Rossi's shouts and jumps after winning at volleyball, and all the beautiful memories flashed by page after page.
The world is still small, I'll accompany you to the ends of the earth.
Stop searching in a corner free of worries.
Growing old slowly in carefree times
Do you know all the heartbeats I feel?
Jump as you like!
Losi remembered how Cheng Qing had helped her shake off the cameraman earlier that day, pulling her up the mountain step by step. Then, he led her towards the sea of sunflowers.
The two sat amidst a sea of flowers, enjoying the crisp autumn air, the vibrant blooms, and the quiet presence of their loved one beside them.
Looking at the setting sun, it's just like the song says—growing old slowly in carefree times.
This song, which I initially just thought was nice, now made Rossi stare blankly at the TV, and then silently shed tears.
I cried while listening to this...
I don't know why, but I was really touched.
【Princess?】
Did she cry?
[My heart aches for the princess, what happened?]
Losi reached out and forcefully wiped away her tears, then smiled bravely and said, "This song... is touching."
Cheng Qing silently turned to look at her. Although she didn't know what had made her sad, Cheng Qing knew it must be because of her.
Therefore, at this moment, she didn't even have the right to step forward and offer comfort.
The live stream ended amidst this excitement, and that very evening, Kong Mingyan received news that not only had tonight's viewership broken the record for the highest number of episodes in recent weeks, but the live stream had also been the most-watched live stream on the same platform that night.
The number of fans shipping the two has increased rapidly once again, and the super topic is bustling with activity, just like during the Chinese New Year.
As night deepened, everyone finished work, got into their cars, and went home to rest. Losi drifted off to sleep. She dreamt of a field of sunflowers, and Cheng Qing turning to smile gently at her…
Author's Note:
The song in question is "Just Once" - performed by Yang Zongwei.
Chapter 57
"...The world is still small, I'll accompany you to the ends of the earth, to stop searching in a corner without worries, and to grow old slowly in carefree times..."
Losi suddenly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the bedroom ceiling.
Several rarely used spotlights are installed on the snow-white ceiling, with a beautiful crystal chandelier in the center. Outside the bright window, a small bird flies by, and birdsong fills the air.
Fanhe City is located in southern China and is not too cold before winter. Even in autumn, birds are still quite active.
Loxi was startled by the clear chirping of birds outside the window early in the morning, and the captivating melody in her mind slowly faded away.
Losi then realized that it was already a new day.
She glanced at her side and saw that the spot where Cheng Qing had been lying was now empty. Had he gotten up?
Losi frowned. Had she slept very soundly?
She had no idea when Cheng Qing got up or left. But even if she didn't know, it didn't matter. These past two days, her relationship with Cheng Qing had been lukewarm, and there wasn't much to say.
As she washed up and walked down the stairs, Losi began to think again.
Cheng Qing has been here for 13 days, so it should be almost time for her to leave.
Losi suddenly felt a little confused. Why hadn't she heard Director Kong mention any of this? Logically speaking, the competition was approaching, so why hadn't Director Kong given her any notification yet?
The production team often makes some unexpected arrangements, and Losi couldn't figure out what they were planning to do, but she guessed they would announce it in the next day or two.
But no matter when the competition was announced, or what the rules were, the three teachers' task was finished once it ended.
Luo Xi's eyebrows furrowed slowly. If there really were 2 million fans, Teacher Cheng... would she stay?
Lost in thought, Losi stood at the top of the stairs for quite a while without moving.
"You're up?" Kong Mingyan greeted Luo Xi with a smile as she came down, and Luo Xi nodded.
It's important to know that this show offers a very high degree of freedom, airing one episode every seven days, and there are no set wake-up or bedtimes for the celebrities.
This carries significant risks, but the show aims for authenticity, so it has maintained this format to this day.
After the director greeted her, he told her to hurry up and have breakfast.
As Losi headed towards the restaurant, she passed Kong Mingyan. He seemed to remember something and said to Losi, "The program that aired yesterday was very well received, and your popularity has been particularly high lately. This is a good sign."
She had been heavily criticized before, and now that things had turned around, Kong Mingyan thought Luo Xi would be very happy.
However, instead of showing the expected joy, Losi asked Director Kong, "Is it because of Professor Cheng?"
Kong Mingyan was taken aback; there was no reason to lie. When Luo Xi returned and saw the information online, she would naturally understand the power of her and Cheng Qing's partnership.
Therefore, Kong Mingyan nodded, which was taken as an admission.
Lossie smiled and said, "Thank you."
Breakfast that day was a simple meal of milk and bread. Losi twisted a piece of bread into her mouth, her eyes darting around, searching for Cheng Qing but finding nothing. She was puzzled when she realized the other two teachers were also absent.
But she was too embarrassed to ask, so she ate her bread and milk and sat in the living room waiting for Cheng Qing to come back.
Anyway, all the mornings this week are for physical training, and Cheng Qing should be back soon.
A few celebrities, bored, gathered in the living room, waiting for the director to play a little game to pass the time. They also wondered if it was time for a live broadcast. So they straightened themselves up and sat up obediently and cutely.
After much deliberation, the three teachers finally returned. Everyone in the living room craned their necks to look, and they heard Zhang Lingling's laughter coming from the entrance hall.
The three teachers seemed to be having a lot of fun! A few students couldn't help but murmur among themselves.
Cheng Qing smiled helplessly and said, "How could I dare to say that? It should be Teacher Zhang who helps them more."
Losi stared at Cheng Qing, a bitter feeling welling up inside her. So, it turns out she wasn't only gentle to her. She was the same to everyone!
Zhou Yong sighed and said to Cheng Qing and Zhang Lingling, "The reward is high! Everyone, don't be modest."
