At the time, Losi was wearing a white crop top and lantern-style black pants, with a bright smile on her face, and she was dancing very energetically.
It was as if the sun, moon, and stars were shining behind him, drawing everyone's attention. I never imagined that one day I would actually see a practice version.
"How was it?" Luo Xi leaned closer to Cheng Qing and smiled brightly.
Cheng Qing smiled, put down her phone, and said calmly, "It's difficult."
Losi: "...I...I have some simple ones too."
Cheng Qing shook her head: "Your dance is too difficult for me."
Mu Xue couldn't help but sneer, "What? Getting old?"
Cheng Qing didn't feel ashamed at all. She smiled gently at the two of them and said, "Yes, I'm getting old. I can't remember these movements."
Mu Xue: "...Teacher, you're being a bit too modest. You've managed to conquer so many difficult games in one go."
Cheng Qing looked at Mu Xue and smiled gently, "That's what you call having strong limbs..."
Mu Xue choked for a moment: "...I didn't insult you."
Seeing that Cheng Qing wasn't going to dance, Luo Xi could only continue searching through the photo album. She even asked Fang Silei if there were any simple choreography ideas.
Fang Silei said, "Why don't you find one on a short video platform? It's much simpler."
Luo Xi could only convey this message to Cheng Qing, who nodded, downloaded the app, and found a currently popular dance tutorial.
After watching it, they saw that the moves were simple, easy to learn, and looked good. So, the two decided to dance it.
Without hesitation, Luo Xi could almost perfectly replicate the jump after watching it only once. She practiced it twice herself to make sure there were no problems, then pulled Cheng Qing to stand beside her, smiling happily and saying, "Teacher, follow my movements."
Cheng Qing nodded and stood in the same position as Luo Xi. Luo Xi taught diligently, explaining each step in slow motion. Cheng Qing also tried very hard, but... she was very stiff.
The two practiced very seriously for half an hour, but Cheng Qing... made no progress whatsoever.
Mu Xue burst into laughter and offered a suggestion to the two: "Speaking of which, wouldn't it be better to have opera as the audience?"
Losi was stunned: "Treatment based on symptoms?"
Mu Xue: "..." What kind of description is this?
Losi lowered her head in thought, and realized it made sense! She was young and liked this kind of singing and dancing. Her fans liked it too, but wouldn't the older people like it? Most of the villagers were elderly; wouldn't they dislike her noisy dancing?
Seeing that Luo Xi was really thinking seriously, looking so adorable, Cheng Qing couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair, reminding her, "Luo Xi, there's also a saying, 'to show off one's skills before an expert.'"
Seeing Luo Xi look up at him, her bright black eyes as pure as a newborn baby's, Cheng Qing was overjoyed and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head again.
Cheng Qing: "The elderly naturally love opera, but neither of us has any background in it. Let alone how to learn, just two hours on stage is not enough. Those elderly people who have been watching opera for years can tell the difference between good and bad performances at a glance. Although I am not good at dancing, you can!"
Losi nodded in realization, then pressed her hands to her head and frowned, saying, "Your hair is all messed up."
Cheng Qing withdrew her hand and apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry."
Now that the program is set, the next step is to prepare the costumes.
Losi excitedly took out her phone to check her points, and then happily said, "That's enough for us to buy two sets of clothes."
Cheng Qing: "...This is nothing to be happy about." Are we really that poor?
Mu Xue: "...I was scared, but thankfully I finished today."
Losi: "..."
***
Because I was going out to buy clothes, I ate a rather perfunctory lunch.
Even the interactive live stream was filmed by Luo Xi sitting in the back of Cheng Qing's car, holding her phone.
Mu Xue didn't have a car, so she borrowed one from a villager across the street and followed behind Cheng Qing and the others.
There were no clothing stores in the village, so Cheng Qing and his friends went to an old street in Cangsong Town recommended by the villagers.
The journey took about 20 minutes. While holding onto Cheng Qing's clothes around her waist, Luo Xi interacted with fans on her phone.
Lossie: "See? We're going out to buy clothes."
Princess, you already have so many clothes, do you need to buy more?
Losi laughed: "You don't understand, we have to wear the same clothes. That way, it feels better when we jump."
[Hmm, I have a feeling you want to buy matching outfits with Teacher Cheng, Princess?]
Losi coughed but did not respond.
Even if the CP fans take it seriously, they don't know the real situation between the two, so they are used to the fact that Luo Xi did not respond.
Matching outfits? Losi started to think, does that even count? As she thought about it, she smiled happily.
***
The old street in Cangsong Town has many shops, from shoe stores and clothing stores to tailor shops and general stores. It can be said that all the necessities for the villagers' daily life can be found here.
The three girls were followed by a cameraman, which naturally attracted the attention of shop owners who peeked out from behind them.
Most dances on short videos are simple and easy to learn, and the clothing requirements are not very high. There is a wide variety of clothes available, and there are plenty suitable for dancing.
Losi stood in front of a school uniform, her eyes calm yet sparkling.
The outfit consisted of a nautical-style top with a light blue collar and a white top, paired with a light blue pleated skirt.
Youthful and vibrant!
[Good job, Princess! I also want to see Teacher Cheng in a school uniform.]
This is the set, this is the set!!! Listen to me.
[Teacher Cheng's expression is very serious, hahaha]
Hahaha, this is so funny!
Cheng Qing felt uneasy: "This?"
Luo Xi turned to look at her, but before she could nod, she heard Cheng Qing say, "Then she'll most likely be eliminated, right?"
Mu Xue was stunned: "Why?" She had skipped the dance wearing this outfit! The fans' reaction was intense!
Cheng Qing: "I think those old people would probably see us as... something out of place."
Losi was stunned: "East...east?"
Cheng Qing found it amusing and turned to look at her, saying, "The older generation isn't that accepting of it yet..." This is why, even today, with the passage of same-sex marriage laws, some elderly people still think it's a joke.
Through the same-sex marriage law, Cheng Qing realized that the differences between the older generation and her own world weren't that significant. As for dancing in a school uniform in front of these conservative older people…
The favorability rating... can't be raised much, right?
Author's Note:
Haha, after looking at the comments section, there's something I need to explain.
The original owner no longer likes Mingyue, and even if she comes back, she won't be with Mingyue. This was actually implied in the earlier parts of the text, but perhaps I was too subtle, so no one noticed _(:з」∠)_
Otherwise, the story is still progressing according to the outline in my mind.
Chapter 127
Luo Xi and Mu Xue both hung their heads in dejection, seemingly not expecting such a thing to happen.
If that's the case...
The two of them secretly glanced at the school uniform. Surely Teacher Cheng wouldn't wear it?
As people from the original world, these two naturally knew better than Cheng Qing what the elderly of this era were like.
The two little girls had to give up the idea because they thought that dancing on stage in short clothes and skirts would be really disliked.
Cheng Qing looked around and pointed to a black V-neck fitted knit top, asking, "What about this one?"
Black is versatile and can be paired with any blue skinny jeans.
Before Luo Xi could even make out what she was wearing, Cheng Qing asked, "What size do you wear?"
Losi: "m"
Cheng Qing asked again, "Do you think it's good?"
Losi nodded: "Mm."
Cheng Qing turned to the shop owner and said, "Try the M size."
Upon hearing this, the proprietress happily went to look on the ground and quickly found a brand-new piece of clothing wrapped in a packaging bag, which she handed to Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing then turned to Luo Xi and said, "Go give it a try."
Losi paused for a moment before asking, "What about yours?"
Cheng Qing was taken aback for a moment, then realized that what he said made sense.
Then he turned to the shop owner and said, "Please get me another one, size L."
The proprietress wasn't happy either, and excitedly went to get Cheng Qing's size.
When Cheng Qing and Luo Xi took the clothes to the fitting room, they discovered that the store only had one fitting room.
Looking at the room in front of her, thinking about the legality of same-sex marriage, and then about her somewhat ambiguous relationship with Losi, she could only say, "...You go first?"
Before Luo Xi could answer, the proprietress behind her paused for a moment, then reached out and pushed the two of them inside, saying, "Oh, you're all girls, what's there to be afraid of?"
Cheng Qing: "..."
Losi: "..."
Wow, the boss is so generous!
Ahhhhh, I love it so much!
All I want to say is, well done.
The fitting rooms in the old store are quite large due to their location, but they are a bit rudimentary.
It was set up under the stairs, simply covered by a cloth.
When Cheng Qing and Luo Xi were pushed in, the shopkeeper pulled up the cloth behind them, muttering, "Why are girls so shy these days?"
