Lin Jiali asked in confusion, "Make money?" Seeing that Cheng Qing didn't nod, she asked again, "For Losi?"
Cheng Qing's eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Jiali, shook his head, and then said with a sorrowful expression, "To support the family."
Lin Jiali: "..."
Lin Jiali understood: he had a family to support and couldn't cooperate! Therefore, she stopped pressing the matter.
Looking at Cheng Qing and Lin Jiali, Luo Xi across from them sneered and turned away.
Looking back a moment later, the two were still whispering to each other, their foreheads almost touching, practically about to kiss.
Losi was immediately annoyed. She puffed out her cheeks and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"
Cheng Qing looked up at her with a smile and said, "Let's discuss the movie we'll watch later."
Losi was taken aback: "You guys are going to watch a movie together?"
I haven't even eaten yet! And this Cheng Qing, she was all lovey-dovey in my room this morning, but she's quite comfortable partnering with other people when she goes out?
Want to watch a movie together?
You seem quite happy?
Does this guy think I don't exist?
Ugh! We're already engaged, aren't we? Why do we have to participate in such a depressing variety show!
Does she think that just because she's engaged she can do whatever she wants? I'm so angry!
In just a few seconds, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Losie's mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence: Unfaithful woman, screw you!
So she glared at Cheng Qing and turned her head away forcefully. Throughout the meal, she ignored Cheng Qing, and there was always more food in her bowl than she could finish.
Lossie didn't even look at who was picking up food; she was only angry that Cheng Qing was taking advantage of her. She stuffed the food into her mouth while imagining that the food in her mouth was Cheng Qing.
The princess is really angry.
[Waaaaah, Teacher Cheng, although I've always known you're straightforward, you're way too damn straightforward! Didn't you notice the princess was unhappy?!]
[Quickly say something to comfort me! Otherwise I'll really be kneeling on durians tonight.]
The comments were all saying that Luo Xi was jealous, but Cheng Qing seemed oblivious.
He kept his head down and ate the whole time, occasionally even picking food for Lin Jiali. He was truly a perfect guest!
So, after lunch, when everyone headed to the movie theater, Losie stormed off to the front, bought a movie ticket without waiting for the others to arrive, and went inside.
The movie theater was dark, and the movie had already started when Losi entered. There weren't many viewers in the theater, and the empty seats made her feel even more desolate.
Lossie looked around; no one else had come in yet. Of course, they probably wouldn't even watch a movie with her.
Perhaps because he ran off on his own, no cameraman followed him.
Losi simply walked to the last row, and in the darkness, the only two audience members in the movie theater didn't notice her.
After sitting down, Losi's anger subsided a little.
Actually, thinking back to the contract we signed before, I already said that I would cooperate well.
However, she was too confident that with the promise of eternity, the production team would definitely pair her up well with Cheng Qing.
However, the contract never stated that the two would continue to work together.
Luo Xi understood that Cheng Qing and Lin Jiali were only together for work.
But Cheng Qing just went along with it, didn't she?
Lossie didn't pay any attention to the movie, feeling that she was being too jealous and embarrassing herself!
She clearly understood that it was all a contract and a way to make money, but the production team separated the two because she and Cheng Qing hadn't announced their relationship yet. Cheng Qing's willingness to return to this world for her own sake was her greatest act of sincerity!
I understand everything, I understand everything!
But I'm still so angry and unhappy. She chatted with that Lin Jiali the whole time during the meal!
It makes me so angry just thinking about it!!!
"What are you thinking about so intently?"
In her anger, Cheng Qing's voice suddenly exploded in her ears, startling Luo Xi and bringing her back to her senses.
Then he heard Cheng Qing chuckle softly in his ear and ask, "Are you angry?"
Losi then realized that Cheng Qing had come looking for her.
Oh!
Losi: "Ha, why should I be angry? I'm so outstanding, you're the one who should feel threatened."
"Of course I have," Cheng Qing said calmly, her voice flat and indifferent. "So, I'm angry because I have?"
What?! Is there no justice left?! You dare to be angry?
Losi blinked her big eyes, indignantly saying, "What are you angry about? I'm the one who's furious."
Cheng Qing lowered his eyes, took Luo Xi's fair hand that was resting on the armrest, and gently rubbed her hand.
The shivering sensation caused by the skin-to-skin contact made Losi pull her hand away.
Cheng Qing didn't follow up, but said in the same calm voice, "I'm angry that when Tang Qianyu approached you, you didn't dodge away, when she helped you into the car, you didn't refuse, when she sat next to you, she picked up food for you, poured you drinks, and did everything that I should have done for you."
Her voice was soft and gentle, and even in the dim light of the theater, her features were indistinct. However, the light reflected in her eyes immediately revealed her composure to Rossi.
How could she say such things with such a calm demeanor and voice?
Was Teacher Cheng actually jealous?
"Huh?" Losi's mind went blank for a moment, and she seemed to be just realizing what was happening when a surge of excitement welled up inside her.
So Cheng Qing can be jealous too? Although Luo Xi doesn't remember any of the things she mentioned, at least who picked up food and poured drinks? Luo Xi doesn't remember at all!
Because Luo Xi was also angry and jealous, she was only focused on being angry. At that moment, how could she pay attention to her surroundings? She didn't even see Cheng Qing across from her occasionally glancing up at her, then angrily lowering her head to eat.
Thinking about it this way, Cheng Qing is so adorable! How could I have missed out?!
Losi felt a pang of regret, but still explained, "I don't like her."
Cheng Qing hummed in agreement, her words still concise: "I know, and I also know she doesn't like you either."
Lossie: "..." Thank you so much for your keen observation = =
Cheng Qing: "I know she just wanted to make someone jealous. I don't know if she achieved her goal..."
The movie suddenly falls silent here, and the screen alternates between dark and bright in the room.
The dappled sunlight flickered on Cheng Qing's face as she said, "Anyway, I'm jealous."
The air suddenly went still, and Losi's unhappy expression had long since disappeared. It turned out that not only she could be jealous, but Teacher Cheng could too.
A lover's jealousy always catches you off guard, yet it can leave a sweet feeling in your heart.
Losi was secretly pleased, and said smugly, "So, you were deliberately trying to make me jealous?"
Cheng Qing looked up at her: "Have you eaten?"
Lossie snorted, "Dream on!" Then, she happily hummed a song and went to see the movie.
Cheng Qing found it amusing and didn't interrupt her, watching the movie with her. In the darkness, their hands were clasped tightly together.
When the movie ended and the guests left the theater, they noticed that Losi was in a good mood and was even jumping and skipping towards Tang Qianyu.
Then, to Tang Qianyu's astonishment, she took her arm and was happily pulled away.
Cheng Qing: "..."
"Tianzhen, are you alright?" Lin Jiali's voice suddenly came.
Zhou Tianzhen chuckled, "It's nothing, I just accidentally bumped into the corner of the table. Sorry for spilling your drink."
Cheng Qing sighed and looked at Luo Xi, who was staring at him from not far away.
I really want to praise her: Tang Tianhou should be so grateful to you!
Gu Tianqin stepped forward and asked Cheng Qing, "What did you say? Why is she so happy to be out?"
Cheng Qing: "I said I was jealous."
Gu Tianqin: "..."
Gu Tianqin was initially shocked, then seemed to be deep in thought.

Using a phone is really uncomfortable; I'm not used to typing, and my thoughts aren't flowing smoothly either. = =
With my back injured, I decided to take my computer to be repaired. The repairman was quite rude, saying it would take a long time to fix…
I'm speeding up the process. Do I roughly know which team is the real one and which is the fake one? Hahahaha
Chapter 168 Extra 7
【Ahhhhhh, Princess, what's wrong?】
Did your jealousy lead you to let loose and act recklessly?
[No, is the princess trying to make Teacher Cheng jealous?]
[Does that make sense? So the princess is already this powerful?]
[Isn't the key point Teacher Cheng's pleased smile? Is Teacher Cheng jealous?]
Gu Tianqin glanced behind him, and Cheng Qing followed his gaze and smiled, "Speaking of which, your pair is too easy to spot."
Gu Tianqin choked for a moment, then sighed and said, "The reason I participated in the program with her was so that we could be more transparent about our relationship."
Cheng Qing: "Was that unnecessary?"
Gu Tianqin smiled helplessly: "Now it seems so." But he seemed a little puzzled: "And you? Why did you come?"
Cheng Qing looked at Luo Xi, who kept turning back to look at her from time to time, and saw that she looked silly and kept laughing.
Cheng Qing's heart melted at the sight, and she said, "On the surface, I think I'm here to show off."
Gu Tianqin: "What's the actual situation?"
