After He Bin left, Cheng Qing returned to the living room and saw Luo Xi picking up her coat and putting it on. Cheng Qing didn't say anything more, put on her shoes, and took Luo Xi out.
***
Cangsong Town is located quite far from the center of Lusen City, and it is precisely because of its remoteness and tranquility that it has become the first choice for city dwellers to cleanse their souls.
But tranquility comes at a price.
There is only one supermarket in Cangsong Town, and it takes 30 minutes to drive to this village.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi searched for a long time in the warehouse on the first floor before finally finding an electric scooter, which was the only means of transportation in the house.
After pulling the electric car out, Losi looked at it curiously for a couple of seconds, then said seriously, "I don't know how to drive this."
Cheng Qing was amused by her serious expression, but still smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm here. Get in the car!"
Losi got into the car sullenly, and the electric scooter quickly started, carrying the two of them straight out of the yard.
Meanwhile, the two groups of people from the other four households drove out one after another on electric bikes. All five households had identical electric bikes, and Cheng Qing almost thought that the bikes were provided by the film crew.
Everyone's destination was the only supermarket in Cangsong Town, but since there was no competition among the teams, the group drove leisurely, finding themselves quite relaxed.
This two-lane cement road in Cangsong Town sees little traffic, mostly pedestrians and electric bikes. Therefore, the noise of car horns is rarely heard.
Passing by charming rural houses, verdant hills, and vast fields, one can only occasionally hear the greetings of villagers.
Lossie sat in the back, leaning gently against Cheng Qing's back, a slight smile on her face.
This rare corner, unseen by Cheng Qing, was the only place where Luo Xi could properly indulge her emotions.
Because, in Losi's heart, there was also a sense of unease.
Cheng Qing's departure was resolute, and her return was sudden. She wondered if Cheng Qing had truly thought things through this time.

Chapter 76
As early autumn passes, the chill brought by the autumn rains grows ever stronger.
Riding the electric scooter, the wind blowing in my face felt a bit chilly. The film crew had rented a small van from somewhere, and a silver-white one followed behind, with a guy carrying a camera struggling to film.
Not only that, but drones were also filming overhead, sometimes at a distance, sometimes close. Projected onto the computer screen, it showed a woman in a white turtleneck sweater sitting in front of a dark brown electric scooter, with a woman in a green long-sleeved shirt sitting behind her.
Their long hair danced in the wind as they drove along, the background stretching from fields to the distant foothills, the sky a deep, clear blue with two fluffy white clouds. Occasionally, small buildings came into view, and occasionally, the laughter of passersby could be heard.
The scene is beautiful and moving. The person controlling the drone is very expressive. In this vibrant, oil painting-like scene, the two people on the electric vehicle occupy only a small corner of the picture, a golden ratio position.
It makes the audience watch and yearn for it.
This is why I like them; they bring us not only sweetness that makes our teeth ache, but also peace of mind.
Therefore, I would rather die alone in exchange for their early marriage.
[Upstairs... there's really no need for that.]
[Please, I'm begging you to get married soon! o(╥﹏╥)o]
The wind was a bit strong while driving, but Cheng Qing blocked most of the cold by standing in front of him.
Lossie sat in the back, admiring the scenery without saying a word. Although the two were quiet the whole way, there was no awkwardness.
Before long, the two arrived at the only supermarket in Cangsong Town. Although Cangsong Town was in a remote location, the supermarket was larger than Cheng Qing had expected.
The parking lot outside has about 10 acres of land and can accommodate at least 400 to 500 parking spaces. The electric vehicle parking spaces are near the supermarket. Cheng Qing drove Luo Xi there, and after getting out of the car, he could see that many people from the city were driving in one after another.
After parking the van, the people recording the video came over. Seeing Cheng Qing looking at the vehicles coming and going, they smiled and explained, "Although this supermarket is in Cangsong Town, the goods here are cheap and comprehensive, so many people will drive an extra half hour to come here to shop."
Cheng Qing looked up at the supermarket. Compared to the parking lot outside, the supermarket occupied a much larger area. The exit was high and wide, with people constantly coming and going, indicating a large flow of people.
Just like those large foreign supermarkets that entered the Chinese market in the last century, they operated on a membership system, offering a wide variety of goods at extremely low prices. As a result, many people used their memberships to buy things for others.
This supermarket follows the same style, but without a membership system. Its location is excellent; Cangsong Town is situated between several major cities, and it's only about a 30-minute drive from the city centers. Therefore, it still attracts quite a few customers.
Luo Xi stood next to Cheng Qing. She wasn't curious about the supermarket, so she didn't look at it. Her beautiful eyes scanned around, and somehow, they landed on Cheng Qing's feet.
Cheng Qing was wearing white flat shoes today, and the laces were tied a little loose. However, she was busy looking around the supermarket and chatting with the cameraman beside her, completely oblivious to her shoelaces.
Several times, Lossie worried that her shoelaces would come undone and she would step on them again. As it turned out, her bad luck came true; Lossie watched helplessly as her shoelaces came undone, and the two long shoelaces kept kicking around on her feet.
She almost stepped on it several times. Luo Xi was sometimes nervous and sometimes relieved. Gradually, her gaze fell directly on Cheng Qing's feet.
What is my princess looking at?
[He looked on with a very serious expression.]
Are you looking at Teacher Cheng's feet?
[The person upstairs has a great idea; please elaborate.]
[The princess is keeping a close eye on Teacher Cheng!]
[So... Teacher, look at the princess! She's about to crash into the glass wall!]
Somehow, the shouts from netizens reached Cheng Qing's ears. While listening to the cameraman introduce the origins of the supermarket, Cheng Qing suddenly turned to look at Luo Xi beside him as they were about to enter the supermarket.
She was looking down slightly, lost in thought, and had strayed off course, about to kiss the solid glass wall.
Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and grabbed Luo Xi's arm, pulling her to his side.
Slender, soft arms, a petite body nestled in my arms, a few strands of hair brushing against my cheek, causing a slight tingling sensation.
Cheng Qing reached out and pulled the hair that was sticking to the corner of her mouth, frowning as she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Losi looked up, blinked in confusion, and looked completely bewildered.
She had no idea what happened; she just felt Cheng Qing suddenly grab her arm, the scenery in front of her turned around, and when she came to her senses, her face was already pressed against Cheng Qing's shoulder.
"What are you thinking about?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled. She could smell Cheng Qing's scent, and her mind was a complete mess.
[Ahhhhhh, we got a hug!!! I've had my dose of sweetness for today.]
Teacher Cheng's protective instincts are off the charts!!!
[Teacher Cheng has also been paying attention to the princess; that must be it.]
[Absolutely, otherwise it wouldn't have pulled out just before the impact.]
I know they're both secretly watching each other!!!
As a result, the number of likes in the live stream room started to go crazy.
At the supermarket entrance, Cheng Qing realized that her and Luo Xi's posture was inappropriate. She helped Luo Xi stand up straight, glanced at the glass wall just a meter away, sighed inwardly, but smiled gently and reassured her, "It's okay, let's go!"
"Huh?" Seeing her about to leave again, Losi blurted out, "Your shoes are loose." The words she had struggled to say for so long turned out to be so easy to say.
Cheng Qing was taken aback. She looked down and saw that her shoelaces had come undone.
Upon hearing this, the cameraman behind her quickly panned down. Viewers in the live stream also noticed Cheng Qing's loose shoelaces, two white laces dangling to the ground. If someone accidentally stepped on them, they would definitely trip and fall.
After a moment of stunned silence, Cheng Qing chuckled. She looked up at Luo Xi, her expression full of understanding. Luo Xi was also taken aback, blushed, and awkwardly turned her head away.
Cheng Qing smiled and then slowly squatted down in front of Luo Xi, earnestly retying her shoelaces.
The comments section became lively as a result.
[Hahaha, so this is what the princess was watching!]
[They were definitely looking at Teacher Cheng's feet, hahaha.]
Was she agonizing the whole way about how to tell Teacher Cheng?
[Aww, even the way Teacher Cheng squats down to tie his shoelaces is so cool! I love it!]
[The smile he gave the princess before crouching down was just too alluring!!!]
[You bunch of CP fans, he was just thanking us with a smile! What are you thinking?!]
The moment the comment was sent, Cheng Qing, who had already tied her shoelaces, did not get up but instead turned her gaze to Luo Xi's shoes.
Lossie wore white sneakers today, thinking that there would be a lot of activities during her move, so she decided to wear something loose.
Losi has small feet, so even the sneakers she wears look particularly tiny.
What is Teacher Cheng looking at?
Could it be...?
Cheng Qing suddenly smiled slightly, and without getting up, she half-squatted and said loudly, "Luo Xi, your shoelaces are loose too."
Losi was stunned: "Huh?"
Before Losi could react, Cheng Qing had already reached out and untied Losi's shoelaces, then carefully retied them.
The sunlight suddenly softened, casting a halo around the tips of Luo Xi's shoes, making Cheng Qing's fingers appear to glow.
The crowd that had stopped to watch at the supermarket entrance had become a blurred background. In the scene, only Cheng Qing's slender white fingers tied a bow on Luo Xi's shoe.
Then, Cheng Qing looked up at Luo Xi with a radiant smile.
Losi looked down at her, her face suddenly flushing, and she blinked her large, bright eyes.
Cheng Qing stood up naturally and said with a smile, "I've tied it for you."
Ahhhhh, I can do it again!
[Is it loose now? Anyway, if the teacher says it's loose, then it's loose (#^.^#)(#^.^#)]
[Teacher Cheng is so good at kneeling down to tie her shoelaces!!!]
I really want my teacher to give me a major in this field!!!
Losi blushed and withdrew her foot. Without saying a word, she turned and hurriedly entered the supermarket.
Seeing her run off in an instant, Cheng Qing quickly followed, saying, "Wait, let's go together."
Lossie turned to her and said, "Don't follow me."
Cheng Qing still went up to her and said, "What are you thinking about! We're in the same group, I'm definitely going to stick with you."
Losi: "..."
