Losy, who was sitting to the side, rolled her eyes and then quietly followed them under the camera's lens. Then, without any regard for her image, she pressed herself against the door and began eavesdropping.
[...]
[Has the princess forgotten that even though the interactive live stream room is closed, the live stream is still continuing?]
I'm sure she forgot.
My princess!!! So dignified!!!
However, Losi couldn't hear any of that. She pressed her ear against the toilet door and listened carefully. Fortunately, the building was just an ordinary residential building, and the toilet door wasn't fixed in place, so the soundproofing was only so-so, and she could clearly hear the sounds inside.
Cheng Qing opened the message and saw that it was sent by a netizen named Unforgettable.
"You pursued Mingyue for two years, and you still didn't like anyone?"
Looking at this strange text message, Cheng Qing frowned slightly. She glanced at the message and thought about the entire live broadcast.
It's obvious that the person named "Unforgettable" knew that they were live-streaming on their phone at the time.
The live stream hadn't started yet when she mentioned not having anyone she liked. Since Nanwang sent this message, it means she watched the morning's live stream.
If she had watched the usual live streams, she should have known that her phone was currently hosting an interactive live stream.
Sending yourself a text message at that time would inevitably result in Losie seeing it.
Having figured this out, Cheng Qing frowned even more deeply.
She exited the interface and looked at the girl who had sent her the message.
That person's WeChat name is "Moon Over the Moon," oh, the moon!
Cheng Qing sighed and texted the person named "Unforgettable" again: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Unforgettable: Heh, what's wrong? Are you scared?
Cheng Qing: (^︶^)
The other person seemed to be provoked by that expression and immediately sent a voice message.
Cheng Qing answered the call, and sure enough, it was a girl on the other end. As soon as she answered, she couldn't help but question, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Qing: "What do you think?"
The girl opposite was stunned. Although it was the same person, and they had been in the same school before, she knew from watching TV that Cheng Qing had changed.
However, it was only during the actual phone call that I truly felt her difference.
It was just a simple question, but the timidity of the past was gone.
Unforgettable: "Cheng Qing, have you forgotten how you chased Mingyue like a dog back in high school?"
Cheng Qing chuckled: "If I really liked someone that much, it's nothing to be ashamed of. But what's so great about it that you're so proud of?"
Unforgettable, he burst into laughter: "Because the way you fawn over someone is just too funny."
Losi, standing outside the door, was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and tried to rush in, but the cameraman held her back.
For privacy reasons, the cameraman did not turn on the sound, and everyone in the live stream only saw that Losi was angry, but did not know why.
Losi was pulled back and realized that she had only been eavesdropping in the first place. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to barge in again? So she didn't dare to make any big movements and just listened quietly.
I thought that if I got so angry, Teacher Cheng would definitely feel uncomfortable too.
But Cheng Qing wasn't angry. She even asked with a smile, "Since you're embarrassing me, why are you so upset?"
Yes, Cheng Qing has participated in world-class competitions before. Her mindset is naturally very firm, and such simple provocations are completely useless against her.
Since coming into this world, the only person who could easily stir her emotions was Losi.
So, even though Nanmian spoke in a condescending manner, she appeared even more pathetic. This was something Cheng Qing found quite amusing.
Upon hearing Cheng Qing's words, Nanwang became even more furious: "Why should I be furious? It's you who's shameless. You knew Mingyue had just entered the entertainment industry, yet you followed her in. Are you ever going to stop?"
Cheng Qing was taken aback: "She debuted?"
Luo Xi frowned, thinking carefully. Was there anyone in the entertainment industry named Ming Yue? She couldn't recall anyone with that name.
memorable:"……"
Cheng Qing asked again, puzzled, "Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, if she's someone in it, Luo Xi couldn't possibly not know. Given her jealousy, she would definitely have started cursing on the live stream..."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Losy kicked the door hard from outside and shouted, "I'm not jealous at all! That guy named Ming... I don't know him at all. He must be some nobody? Is he just an extra?"
memorable:"……"
Cheng Qing chuckled, her eyes full of joy, and looked at the wooden door that was being kicked and rattling. She reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll ask for you."
The area outside the door fell silent, and Cheng Qing turned to continue, "Did you hear that? I don't want to deal with the past, nor do I want to get entangled in it. I don't care whether she's in the entertainment industry or not. Let's just wish each other well from now on."
Unforgettable: "You..."
Cheng Qing knew nothing about what happened back then, and didn't want to hear Nan Wang talk about it. She hung up the phone and sighed.
Having taken over this body, she was bound to bear the troubles that came with it. She also had to inherit the blood and emotions that this body carried.
Now, the first problem has arisen. Another person who used to like Yuan Sheng very much has, for some unknown reason, contacted him again.
Even judging from the information revealed in those unforgettable words, that person might be... very close to me.
But there's no need to worry about these things now.
Cheng Qing took a deep breath and opened the door. Sure enough, Luo Xi outside the door was furious, her eyes blazing with fury.
She stared at Cheng Qing, and just as she was about to question him, Cheng Qing suddenly hugged her.
Losi: "???"
【？？？】
[Did Teacher Cheng kneel down again?]
Although there was no sound just now, the princess was indeed very angry.
So, Teacher Cheng still had to kneel down.
I adore Teacher Cheng's sliding knee speed; it's like lightning.
Lossie's anger dissipated immediately after being hugged, and she whispered, "Do you think this will make everything alright?"
Cheng Qing said pitifully, "I was bullied."
Luo Xi retorted angrily, "Who told you to like that bad guy so much?" In Luo Xi's eyes, someone who doesn't appreciate Teacher Cheng's affection at all has no redeeming qualities.
Cheng Qing hugged her tighter: "I don't remember either, Luo Xi. If I said I forgot, would you believe me?"
Lossie didn't say anything. She reached out and patted Cheng Qing's back reassuringly, saying, "Forget it, let those bad people be envious! You are someone they can only dream of now."
Cheng Qing chuckled: "Thank you, but maybe only you think that way."
The cameraman readily agreed, saying, "That's what I think too."
Cheng Qing: "...You don't need to join in the fun." Can't you tell she's playing the victim?
Cameraman: "..."
***
Unforgettable was Lin Lan, Cheng Qing's classmate in high school. She was once one of the most popular people in the class, but she and Cheng Qing didn't have much of a relationship.
But Cheng Qing, who had always been invisible back then, is now thriving on television, which makes Lin Lan feel uncomfortable.
After hanging up the phone, I turned to look at the live stream on my computer.
When Cheng Qing hugged Luo Xi right after leaving the restroom, the actress was stunned and even tried to comfort Cheng Qing in a daze.
Lin Lan sneered. Was Cheng Qing that kind of person? Obviously not. If she changed, there must be a reason!
Given Lossie's status in the entertainment industry, what other reason could there be?
Lin Lan bit her lip: "Cheng Qing... he's clearly doing this for this woman's fame."
Otherwise, how could someone with Cheng Qing's gloomy personality try to please others? Such a drastic change must mean he has something big up his sleeve.
Author's Note:
Chapter 84
After finishing their task that afternoon, Cheng Qing went back home that evening and caught and killed the fish that Li Mingyao and Ye Lingyun had given him. The fish were so fresh that they were still jumping off the kitchen counter after being killed, which scared Luo Xi so much that she ran around everywhere.
Cheng Qing stood to the side, watching with a frown and a helpless smile.
"It's dead, what are you afraid of?"
Losi pointed at the blood-soaked fish on the ground and shouted, "It's still moving!!!"
“But it’s already dead.” Cheng Qing walked over to the dead fish that had escaped, scooped it up, and put it in the pool to wash it clean.
He then said to Losi, "Go get the mop and mop the floor!"
Losi let out a "Huh~~~" sound, startled by the fish, and turned to run towards where the mop was.
Cheng Qing looked up at her rapidly running figure and reminded her, "Don't take a dry mop!"
Losy turned around and made a face at her: "I wouldn't!"
Seeing her like this, Cheng Qing couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, then turned back to processing the fish.
These freshwater fish, caught from the lake, are incredibly resilient. If Cheng Qing hadn't been experienced, he wouldn't have been able to catch one like Luo Xi.
After cleaning the fish and preparing chopped scallions, garlic, and ginger, Cheng Qing heated oil in a wok and made a simple braised fish dish.
Then she stir-fried some greens picked from the backyard and steamed four frozen buns. While the buns were steaming, she turned around and made a simple, plain hot and sour soup.
When everything was done and I looked back, I saw Losie squatting on the ground wiping the grout in the tiles with a tissue.
Cheng Qing brought out the dishes one by one and placed them on the dining table, then called to Luo Xi with a smile, "No need to prepare anything, come and eat!"
Lossie hummed in agreement, got up, and went to the table. Although the dishes were simple, they looked very appetizing.
The two sat facing each other, each holding a steamed bun. Cheng Qing poured Luo Xi a bowl of soup, then filled one for herself.
The live stream was also shut down at this time, and the daily live stream time ended at dinner time.
Losi has already checked the official livestream schedule today, from 8 AM to 5 PM. That's longer than a 9-hour workday; I have no idea where these viewers find the time to watch the livestream.
