Of course she knew; she knew that the VIP lounge included many services. She also knew that one of these services was helping guests obtain boarding passes and check their luggage.
Therefore, Losi could have gotten her boarding pass without going through the counter.
Cheng Qing looked down at Luo Xi's unhappy expression, and her heart softened. She knew that Luo Xi would wait for her.
Seeing that Cheng Qing didn't react, Luo Xi glanced at her from the table and then said angrily, "Sit down!"
Cheng Qing: "Thank you."
Fang Silei: "..." Things are already like this, you two should just get together! Otherwise, I feel like I'm even more tired than you are.
***
After boarding the plane, since the two were not even in the same cabin, Luo Xi complained bitterly about Cheng Qing to Fang Silei.
"She's too stingy."
Fang Silei said, "Cheng Qing said she had to support her family."
Lossie remained quiet the whole way, but after a while she couldn't help but chuckle and ask Fang Silei, "Can she afford to support her?"
Fang Silei looked up at the ceiling: "That depends on whether that person is easy to take care of."
Losi: "..."
Despite saying that, Losi felt much better.
They remained silent the entire way. After getting off the plane, the two waited at the entrance for quite a while before Cheng Qing finally arrived.
Seeing the two waiting for him, Cheng Qing smiled and thanked them, saying, "Sorry for the slow wait for the luggage."
Losi said, "Next time you can fly first class. I have a card that will give you a discount."
Cheng Qing didn't explain, but couldn't help moving closer to her, smiling as she said, "Then it'll be troublesome next time."
Losi nodded and said reservedly, "It's not that troublesome."
Upon arriving in Haicheng, it was as if they had returned to Losi's headquarters. One of Losi's assistants came to pick them up.
He got off the bus to help with the luggage, and put Cheng Qing's luggage in the back of the bus as well. He didn't ask about Cheng Qing's affairs at all, as if he was just a heartless luggage porter.
Fang Silei went to sit in the passenger seat as usual, while Cheng Qing and Luo Xi sat in the back. On the way, Cheng Qing asked Luo Xi quite a few questions in order to get her to talk more.
Losi reluctantly agreed.
Cheng Qing looked outside again and asked, "How much is the rent around here?"
Losi finally choked up; she really hadn't thought about this issue. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Cheng Qing smiled at Luo Xi and asked, "Can you come with me to the supermarket? I haven't bought a lot of things yet."
This is not Cheng Qing's home. Cheng Qing is from Fanhe City, and her rented apartment and social circle are all in Fanhe City.
I came here with Losi, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I came alone.
Not only was this place unfamiliar to her, but Cheng Qing had no idea where she would stay tonight. Therefore, going to the supermarket to buy some supplies was perfectly reasonable.
Luo Xi then became a little worried. She had originally arranged a room in her own house. She had a very large apartment in Haicheng with five rooms. Of course, there was a place for Cheng Qing to stay, but now that she thought about it, they were almost there, and she was still arguing with Cheng Qing.
How can we ask someone to stay here? This is really not a good idea!
Why doesn't she confess her feelings to me again?
Is the relationship uncertain?
Why is she just following me like this? What is she thinking?
Luo Xi looked at Cheng Qing with dissatisfaction. She actually wanted to buy daily necessities. Was she really planning to rent a house nearby?
But she's a celebrity, she travels a lot. If she's filming a TV series, sometimes she'll be gone for half a year at a time, so why would she need to rent a place?
Losi grew increasingly dissatisfied, but their time together was not protected by the gods, and every minute and second had to be cherished.
Therefore, Losi did not refuse Cheng Qing's invitation to go to the supermarket.
The assistant was very sensible; after listening to Losi's words, she parked the car at a supermarket near Losi's neighborhood.
It was a huge supermarket, and there were five or six residential communities nearby, all of whom were regular customers.
The supermarket is on the basement level, above which is a shopping mall, and next to it are office buildings, etc.
When the two arrived at the location wearing hats and masks, it was around 4 p.m., and there were quite a few people there.
This was Cheng Qing's first time here, and everything seemed so unfamiliar.
As the host, Losi naturally led the way. At the intersection, staff distributed shopping carts to the guests, and many children ran and played along.
Losi observed everything around her and enjoyed the atmosphere of life.
"Lossie".
Suddenly, Cheng Qing called out to her from behind. Cheng Qing's voice was like cool spring water in the noisy supermarket, making it easy for Luo Xi to distinguish.
She turned around and saw Cheng Qing standing next to a claw machine. Customers came and went around her, but she seemed to be standing alone, as if she needed someone to hold her hand.
Tell her this is her home, and she should stay!
Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but step forward. She stood in front of Cheng Qing, but ultimately didn't reach out to take his hand. She simply asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Qing smiled slightly: "I like you. Will you be with me?"
Luo Xi was stunned again, then couldn't help but blush, and thought to herself, "Why doesn't Cheng Qing choose a place to confess his feelings?"
But her pride prevented her from speaking up, and she asked Cheng Qing in a difficult way, "You've done so many wrong things, how can I give you a simple answer?"
Cheng Qing replied, "No."
Losi: "..." You're making me lose face.
Cheng Qing turned to look at the claw machine beside her and said softly, "You know, this is very difficult for me. So, if I can win a plush toy, will you give me a chance to be with you?"
To win over her lover, she did something she wasn't good at. Cheng Qing knew that she and Luo Xi were only one step away from breaking through the barrier between them, but she needed something to do. Therefore, she chose the claw machine.
She had promised Losi that she would catch one for her.
Luo Xi then turned to look at the claw machine next to Cheng Qing, recalling how the two weren't familiar with each other when they first started filming. Back then, they both thought Cheng Qing was omnipotent. It wasn't until she failed time and time again on the claw machine that she realized Cheng Qing was just an ordinary person with many things she didn't know.
"Please, please." Cheng Qing's voice was pitiful.
Losi choked for a moment, then her face turned cold, and she said, "Fine, bring me one, and I'll agree."
Cheng Qing finally smiled.
Actually, she had checked; claw machines are based on probability. Given enough attempts, she was sure she would catch one.
Cheng Qing was determined to win!
Losy turned to get change, warning Cheng Qing, "I'll get the change."
Cheng Qing: "..." Standing beside the claw machine, she immediately looked distressed. The money she got back wouldn't be enough to win any more plush toys...
Cheng Qing shook off her worries and told herself to be thick-skinned. If she didn't catch her, she could just keep chasing her. After all, she didn't say she wouldn't chase her if she couldn't catch her, right?
She stood in front of the machine, studying the dolls inside intently, when she heard Losie's voice coming from behind her.
"Go ahead and grab it!" she said sweetly and adorably.
Cheng Qing hummed in agreement, turned to look at her, and then froze.
Lothie stood arrogantly behind him, holding a rather large red bucket filled with game coins.
At least... several thousand, right?
Cheng Qing: "..."
Lossie's haughty voice rang out: "If you can't even catch one, it means you're not sincere enough." Even the worst attempt has its limits!
Cheng Qing: "..."
Author's Note:
Speaking of which, the claw machine scene was something I'd been wanting to include since I was writing about their first time playing it. I even laid the groundwork back then, and finally, I got to write it. (OvO)
Chapter 142
How could anyone betray Losi's sincerity?
Cheng Qing glanced at the game coins in Luo Xi's hand, blinked, and finally smiled and said, "Okay."
Seeing her sudden gentle smile, Losi awkwardly scratched her face, then handed her the game coins: "Here you go! They're so heavy."
Cheng Qing took the game tokens and warmed up by playing with them a bit before starting to try his hand at the claw machine.
The plush toy is positioned in a way that makes it easy to grab, but once you try it, you'll realize that the claws used to grab it aren't very strong. Even if you manage to grab it, it will be dropped when it reaches the top.
Therefore, statistically speaking, even if you can catch it, it will take several tries to get a doll.
Cheng Qing wasn't very good at claw machines, and after finally managing to grab one, it would fall back down. This happened several times, and Luo Xi, watching from behind, was even more anxious than Cheng Qing, wishing she could switch hands and let her try.
Of course, Luo Xi was anxious, and Cheng Qing was anxious too.
Each time she failed to catch it, she would turn around and smile apologetically at Losi, saying, "Practice makes perfect, and you'll be able to catch it next time."
Losi's breath hitched as she suddenly remembered how she had felt the same way when she practiced fencing. Seeing Cheng Qing's helpless look, she casually blurted out, "Teacher, practice makes perfect."
Now look at Cheng Qing looking back at me, with her ingratiating smile and her charmingly innocent expression as she says, "Practice makes perfect."
In Losi's mind, all she could think was, "This is just too cute!"
Once she felt it, she immediately cupped her cheeks in her hands and shyly wondered: At that moment, would Teacher Cheng also think I was so cute?
Cheng Qing had no time to think about any of that; her entire focus was on the dolls. She tried to catch one after another, using 100 coins.
Cheng Qing: "..." The probability is quite mysterious.
Logically, you should be able to catch at least one fish with 100 coins!
Fortunately, Losi provided enough game coins, which gave Cheng Qing commendable courage.
On the 159th attempt, Cheng Qing finally caught a monkey doll. The doll was dressed in a red Tang Dynasty robe with a "福" (fortune) character embroidered in gold thread in the middle.
The monkey has a round head, short brown fur, and its tail is curved into an S shape behind it.
It looked rather clumsy and cute. At this moment, under Cheng Qing's control, it slowly rose to the top. Cheng Qing and Luo Xi both held their breath, afraid that the doll would fall.
