After a long drive, we arrived at our destination at just past 3:30.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi were still wearing their wedding dresses; the photographer was waiting for sunset to take their picture. So the two of them simply sat on the rocks and watched the photographer photograph everyone one by one.
It was just a photo shoot. Everyone took a solo photo, and occasionally a couple or a trio. It only took about an hour, and about 10 people finished taking their photos.
It wasn't until the sun set and the birds returned to their nests that it was finally Cheng Qing and Luo Xi's turn.
At first, they took solo photos, with Rossi standing on a protruding rock, and then her assistant hid in a secluded spot and shook the hem of her skirt.
The photographer was under the rock, taking pictures from below.
The brilliant sunset light shone from behind Losi, casting a golden glow around her and adding a touch of solemnity to her otherwise stern expression.
The entire photo is magnificent, like a queen's arrival.
When it was Cheng Qing's turn, she was seated on a rock. She was simply shown watching the fiery sunset, with a flock of seabirds returning to their nests appearing in the frame. This only intensified the desolate feeling in the photograph…
Solo photos aren't real wedding photos; it's all about creating a certain atmosphere, so it doesn't matter if they're good or bad.
Then the photographer pointed at Losie and said, "Miss Losie, come up and take a picture with me."
When Rossi heard that they were going to take a couple's photo, she started climbing the rocks with great effort.
Cheng Qing, watching from above, found it amusing. He bent down, reached out, and pulled Luo Xi along, saying, "I'll pull you."
Losi climbed halfway up, looked up at her, and smiled.
The photographer couldn't resist pressing the shutter. The hands clasped together and the smiles on their faces made the scene in the lens heartwarming.
Once they were on the rocks, the photographer asked them to pose for a photo of the two of them facing each other and holding hands.
Cheng Qing: "..."
The request wasn't too unreasonable, and Cheng Qing complied.
The two held hands to their chests. Cheng Qing was slightly taller, and when she lowered her head slightly, it gave the impression that she was looking directly at the other person.
Behind the black and white wedding dress was a magnificent sunset, a vast red sea, stretches of fiery clouds, and birds returning to their nests. The vibrant background, like an oil painting, added a touch of meaning to this simple pose.
After it was over, the photographer continued to call out, "Ms. Cheng, hug her from behind."
Cheng Qing was speechless: "Hold me?"
"That's it." The photographer hugged the secretary from behind, smiling as he looked at Cheng Qing and said, "I see! I see!"
Cheng Qing choked: "...Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
The photographer explained, "Her skirt is long and she's shorter than you, so it wouldn't be good for her to hug you from behind, would it?"
Cheng Qing: "..." Is that the point?
Luo Xi had already turned her back to Cheng Qing and said with a smile, "It's okay for me, I'm thin."
Cheng Qing turned his head to look at her and saw that Luo Xi's long, curly hair was pulled up to her chest, revealing her delicate back skin, which was rosy in the sunset.
Cheng Qing's breath hitched. He stepped forward and pressed his back against hers. He didn't refuse anymore, but said softly, "I'm sorry."
The warm breath brushed against Losi's earlobe, the heat seeping in like a thousand ants crawling on her heart, a tingling, itchy sensation.
Cheng Qing's hand slid down her waist to her front, carrying a slight warmth and a magical touch, leaving a tingling sensation wherever it went.
In the end, not only did Luo Xi blush, but Cheng Qing also blushed.
She withdrew her hand and looked at the photographer: "Was it really necessary to go this far?"
Luo Xi touched the waist that Cheng Qing had touched, and the feeling of being touched all the way made Luo Xi almost lean against Cheng Qing.
Fortunately, Cheng Qing received it in time.
Photographer: "...We're taking wedding photos! What do you mean by this?" It's just a hug!
Cheng Qing: "..." Where did you get your experience in taking lesbian wedding photos?
Thinking about it, something seems off; the photo studio actually does have lesbian wedding photos.
Kong Mingyan stood calmly next to the photographer, a kind smile on his face: "Teacher Cheng, it's just taking a picture, it's not like you're kissing or hugging, it's nothing."
That's true; in variety shows, it only goes as far as hugging, and celebrities don't really have the right to refuse. Of course, it's just physical contact during a game and doesn't have any sexual connotations.
When taking photos, posing and hugging are perfectly reasonable, even if taken to court.
Cheng Qing paused for a moment, and finally could only say, "Then I'll really hug you."
Kong Mingyan retorted directly, "It's not like this is the first time you've hugged someone." During the Werewolf game, he was the one who pulled Losi into his arms on the island. The edited footage was even sent to him, and he blushed after watching it. What's there to be shy about now? Hug her!!! I'll put it on the official website tomorrow night as a teaser.
Cheng Qing: "..." She really had no right to refute this.
Rossi blushed crimson, though it wasn't the first time. She'd thrown herself into her arms the very first day they met.
But today seems different. Could it be the magic of the wedding dress?
Before Luo Xi could figure it out, Cheng Qing's palm was on her waist again, and the area where it was pressed against felt numb and hot, making her want to get even closer.
The wind blew their long hair up and they became tangled together. Even though there was no physical sensation in their hair, just looking at them tangled together made one feel weak all over.
In the end, Losi took a step back and leaned against Cheng Qing, their skin touching, their hearts beating in unison.
Thinking about these things, Losi lowered her head slightly, smiled with downcast eyes, her expression full of charm and allure.
Cheng Qing was taken aback and looked down at her. But all he could see was a faint blush on the tips of her ears, peeking through her dark, glossy hair.
"Miss Luo, please place your hand in Miss Cheng's hand."
The photographer's voice came from afar. Cheng Qing wrapped her arms around Luo Xi's back and placed them naturally on Luo Xi's lower abdomen. Luo Xi raised her hand and placed it in Cheng Qing's hand, smiling with her eyes lowered.
She was no longer that arrogant woman; she was gentle, kind, and virtuous, just like a bride-to-be.
The striking contrast of black and white, set against a backdrop of a unique and breathtaking sunset, creates a visually stunning and captivating scene.
The scene is so beautiful, and the person in my arms is so lovely.
Cheng Qing finally forgot about the pairs of eyes watching from not far away, and was immersed in the charm of nature, looking at the neck of Luo Xi exposed in the splendid sunset.
Cheng Qing finally smiled, and she slowly lowered her head and whispered in Luo Xi's ear, "You are beautiful like this."
The photographer captured the moment, then smiled at Kong Mingyan and said, "If this weren't out of affection, I would never believe it."
Kong Mingyan glanced at the two people in the camera's view, intimately connected, the sunset painting the sky and sea with vibrant colors. The white train of their dresses danced in the wind, rustling softly. The black wedding gown was billowing in the wind, enveloping the white gown in their arms. Like their owners, they were inseparable.
Even though Losi pounced on the bed, she couldn't hide the blush spreading across her face.
She turned her head slightly to look at Cheng Qing, smiling gently.
The photographer quickly took another picture before calling out, "That's enough."
Cheng Qing released his grip and took a step back. The fleeting ambiguity and affection vanished in that instant.
Photographer: "..."
Kong Mingyan smiled smugly: "How about it? Do you still feel affection?" Cheng Qing has such magic, love and indifference can change in an instant.
When it comes to avoiding suspicion, Teacher Cheng is extremely strict, to the point that even now, as the director, he still can't figure out what Cheng Qing is thinking.
Photographer: "..."
Losi was just as frustrated as the photographer.
She silently looked at Cheng Qing behind her, her eyes slowly narrowing.
Cheng Qing was immediately dumbfounded: "??? Did I just praise her? Why does that look in her eyes feel so strange?"
Releasing the hand after taking the picture was the most polite thing to do. Cheng Qing never dreamed that it was because he stepped back too quickly that he had offended Luo Xi.
Losie lifted her skirt and hugged it to her chest, then tried to jump off the rock.
Cheng Qing jumped down first, then reached out her hand: "Let me help you."
Luo Xi looked down at her, and finally her anger subsided. She grabbed Cheng Qing's hand and jumped down.
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her in the last rays of the setting sun.
Seeing Cheng Qing's reaction, Luo Xi naturally couldn't stay angry at all, only feeling delighted, and asked her, "Am I pretty?"
Cheng Qing nodded: "Yes, yes, extremely beautiful."
Losi chuckled: "That's too much of a perfunctory remark."
Cheng Qing also smiled: "But it is indeed the truth."
Losi paused for a moment, then simply gave a charming smile.

Filming is finished! (#^.^#)
Chapter 50
Fans who had promised eternal love for their favorite couple discovered that the official account was practically giving them a sweet treat.
It was Friday, and with the new episode of "Best Partners" airing the next day, the supertopic was practically celebrating the New Year with firecrackers.
It's worth noting that among the variety shows during this period, "Best Partners" initially only focused on the theme of competing in games, but now, the number of couple fans on this show far exceeds that of several serious dating variety shows.
It's both astonishing and speechless.
Previously, the official website would release some behind-the-scenes tidbits every Friday. Before this, their favorite thing to release was actually previews of the celebrities arguing about whether or not they would have a fight. This piqued viewers' curiosity: what would these big stars be arguing about this time?
But this Friday was different. From the morning onwards, photos were being posted one after another. Big stars, golden couples, and handsome men and beautiful women—the photos were naturally top-notch.
The photos are behind-the-scenes glimpses of their trip to the photo studio. Unlike before, when they were always stirring up trouble, these photos now exude a sense of peace.
In addition to solo photos, there are also group photos.
But the fans who have been committed to the eternal CP are eagerly waiting for the photos of Luo Xi and Cheng Qing to be released, and the later it gets, the more nervous the CP fans become.
After all, the number of CP fans is about to surpass two million, making it the fastest CP fanbase to reach that milestone to date. Whether it's surpassing one million or two million, the rate of increase is astonishing.
The "Xiqin" (西芹) pairing quickly gained fame and a place among fans.
CP (couple) fans are not easily liked by solo fans, but the economic value of CP fans is undeniable.
If the economy of CP fans is not good and has no value, why are there so many shows that promote CP?
The number of people interested in Xiqin (a type of celery) has increased dramatically, making other investors envious and eager to cash in on this opportunity. The production team isn't stupid; why would they pass up such a huge audience?
