For a moment, Cheng Qing's mind went blank. Before she could think any further, she heard another bang.
The sound was not far ahead. With a bang, two light strips suddenly appeared a few meters away from the elevator door. The light, as if it had been ignited, spread from a distance to his feet, forming a path of light that illuminated the way forward.
At the same time, the end of the light path finally brightened, and a Christmas tree wrapped in lights in the distance was covered with gifts.
Lossie wore a fluffy European-style princess dress with a bright red cloak over it. Her long, wavy, jet-black hair cascaded down to her waist, and she held a magic wand with a glittering five-pointed star at the top.
She was like a fairy, radiant and dazzling.
Cheng Qing stood there, her gaze fixed on Luo Xi. Then, slowly, a happy smile bloomed on both of their faces at the same time.
Losi tilted her head slightly, her eyes shining with joy, making them even brighter. Under that gaze, Cheng Qing's heart involuntarily quickened its pace.
Lossie still tilted her head, her most innocent and alluring side revealed. She stood by the tree, her red cloak contrasting vividly with the green Christmas tree, while the soft glow of the lights on the tree added a touch of ethereal beauty to Lossie.
She smiled gently and said, "Merry Christmas, Teacher Cheng."
At that moment, the emotion in his heart was beyond words. How could Cheng Qing not know about Luo Xi's sacrifices? Luo Xi, who was younger than him, had always been the one to give in and forgive in this relationship.
Knowing that she might leave at any time, Luo Xi tempered her temper during their short-lived relationship, as if she wanted to leave the best version of herself in Cheng Qing's memory.
Cheng Qing looked at the bright hall and the glittering gold decorations everywhere.
Exquisite and beautiful, it must have taken a lot of effort to dress up! Is it really all just for that one sentence—"Merry Christmas?"
Despite her thoughts, Cheng Qing didn't ask anything. She followed the light trail that Luo Xi had made and walked up to Luo Xi, no longer caring about the camera outside the window, and reached out to hug Luo Xi.
Their cheeks were pressed together, their hearts close.
Losi said softly, in her uniquely charming voice, "Welcome to this world, it's been exactly six months."
Since we can't wait until the anniversary, we can only give you a six-month celebration.
Cheng Qing paused for a moment, then hugged her tightly: "Thank you."
Thank you for going to all this just to welcome me. This ceremony was indeed just for one sentence, but not "Merry Christmas."
Cheng Qing's feelings were a mix of excitement, happiness, emotion... and sadness.
Losi paused, chuckled softly, and said, "Thank you!"
"Thank you... for coming into my world."

Chapter 149
The promise of eternity finally made it to the top of the trending searches after a long absence of two months.
The trending topic is "[Luo Xi and Cheng Qing celebrate Christmas]".
It was concise and clear, yet it still drew many people to the trending topics list.
The reporter didn't waste any words this time, only sending one photo. It seems some star-rated hotel was willing to put on such a surprise for Losi.
The photo was taken through a glass wall, but it is very clear and you can see the interior decorations.
In the center of the hall stood a Christmas tree, adorned with various decorations and lights, with several brightly colored gift boxes piled beneath it.
There were also some macaron-colored balloons scattered around the tree. Actually, the decorations weren't very elaborate, probably due to time constraints or the fact that the hotel needs to do business and can't afford to leave too much room for decoration.
But everything in the photo is beautiful and everything seems just right.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi stood in front of the Christmas tree, nestled together. In the soft light, it seemed as if they were the only two people in each other's lives.
[If you ask me why I'm so obsessed with the promise of eternity, how can I not be?]
[That's the kind of subtle love I'm shipping!]
[You might not believe it, but the authorities forced me to agree.]
[You might not believe it, but this year's official survey showed that the promise of forever has actually increased public acceptance of same-sex marriage.]
So, is the promise of eternity finally going to transcend the entertainment industry and become a magical phenomenon?
In fact, the number of fans of "Promise Forever" has continued to grow steadily day by day after the official release of sweet moments.
Despite being an ordinary person who has never entered the entertainment industry, Cheng Qing's fame far surpasses that of many second-tier celebrities.
But even in such a wonderful atmosphere, the two people who promised eternity still did not make it public.

As autumn faded and Christmas approached, the weather in Shenzhen grew increasingly cold. For the first time in over a decade, Shenzhen experienced a rare light snowfall.
When Losi woke up in the early morning, she found it unusually dark outside. But winter mornings are never bright. Losi snuggled into her pillow, turned her head to look at Cheng Qing beside her, and seeing her lazy sleeping face, she couldn't help but smile contentedly.
She got up quietly, walked to the balcony, and carefully pulled back a corner of the curtain to peek out. She was stunned. Outside, the sky was shimmering with silver light, as if the world had been draped in a thin white veil.
Meanwhile, fine white snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
Luo Xi looked delighted and wanted to turn around and call Cheng Qing. But then she remembered that Cheng Qing was still sleeping, so she looked outside instead.
Although she became a celebrity, she has actually been traveling around for many years.
Losi was no stranger to snow. But this was the first time she had seen snow in Deep City.
The snow in Shenzhen is unlike the snowflakes in the capital; the snowflakes are particularly small, appearing like snow fairies in the air. Snowscapes are always beautiful, enticing viewers to want to immerse themselves in them.
Ah~, I want to play in the snow.
Losi sighed, feeling somewhat restless.
Are you watching the snow?
Losi was stunned for a moment, then felt a pair of jade-like arms wrap around her waist, and then gently pull her back, so that her back was immediately against a soft embrace.
Losi blinked, then slowly smiled and said, "Yes, you'll watch the snow with me."
"good."
The voice that answered Rossi was still sleepy, but its owner was already pressed against Rossi's face, looking at the white snow outside with her.

Today, Losy changed into a ginger-yellow long dress, then draped a gray cashmere shawl over her shoulders, and happily slipped on her fluffy slippers and ran to the balcony.
Cheng Qing didn't rush out. She leaned against the balcony door, crossed her arms, and looked at the happy Luo Xi outside with a contented expression. Her face also unconsciously showed a smile as she followed Luo Xi's happiness.
Lossie stood by the flowerbed, glancing back at the scene. Strands of hair fell from her temples, giving her a surprisingly relaxed look.
"Qingqing, come and see!"
Seeing Cheng Qing standing by the balcony door, leaning against the doorframe and smiling, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. So she waved to Cheng Qing, wanting to pull her to her side so they could experience the rare, once-in-a-decade snow together and admire the world draped in silver.
Cheng Qing didn't refuse, just nodded and walked over...
As Cheng Qing approached, Losi gave a sly smile, then suddenly leaped up and pounced. Cheng Qing seemed to have anticipated this, and caught Losi with both hands as she pounced.
Before Rossi could react, he pulled her close, pressed her head against his chest, and chuckled softly.
Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she happily reached out and hugged Cheng Qing tightly.
"Qingqing".
"Um?"
Luo Xi nuzzled against Cheng Qing and said happily, "I feel...so happy!"
Cheng Qing smiled gently, buried his face in her neck, and gently kissed her, saying, "Me too."
And so, on the morning of the first snow, the two of them held each other in their arms.
Until the tiny snowflakes landed on the two of them, on their exposed hands, and they watched as the snow slowly melted due to the warmth of their bodies, slowly turning into a drop of water, and slowly disappearing before their eyes.
Losi lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and after a moment of thought, she asked with some sadness, "Can you sing those upbeat songs? The kind from your world?"
Cheng Qing hummed in agreement and tried to let go of her, but Luo Xi suddenly tightened her arms and said, "Sing it to me like this."
Cheng Qing fell silent for a moment, but only for a second, then said with a lighthearted smile, "Okay."
Shenzhen is a top-tier city in China, and in this valuable residential area, a rare tranquility has been carved out amidst the bustling metropolis.
Cheng Qing stopped trying to read Luo Xi's expression. She relaxed, allowing Luo Xi to hug her more easily.
She slowly opened her mouth, no longer singing of sorrowful partings in spring and autumn, but joyfully expressing her deep feelings.
—"You're in my mind, you're in my eyes."
Every breath I take is because of you.
The singing was indeed light and cheerful, and Losi giggled...
—"The stars hanging high in the sky twinkle, bright and beautiful."
It illuminated my heart and guided me forward.
On a clear morning, in the cold east wind, the song, carrying Cheng Qing's deep affection, drifted away with the wind.
Luo Xi listened with delight, leaning on Cheng Qing's shoulder and whispering, "You continue, I'm listening."
Cheng Qing glanced down at the strands of hair on her back, gently patted them, and continued chanting as she wished.
—"You are the green grass in spring and the flying bird in autumn."
The surging waves of the Aegean Sea
I want to run freely in the wind with you, with a slight smile on my face.
Get rid of all your troubles.
From a distance, all that could be seen was the two people embracing on the balcony, and the faint sound of beautiful singing.
—You are like ice cream in summer, a warm coat in winter, a light bulb in the dark...
Losi listened quietly without saying another word.
Only after the singing faded into the air did Luo Xi release Cheng Qing, give her a bright smile, and say something unrelated to the song: "It's cold, let's go inside!"
After saying that, he walked inside.
As Cheng Qing watched her pass by, and saw the sudden look of grievance in her eyes, her principles shattered like broken glass, flying everywhere, never to be whole again.
