The rain intensified halfway home, and by the time Cheng Qing arrived, her left shoulder was soaked. Even with all her protection, rainwater still clung to the hem of Luo Xi's skirt, her shoes, and the ends of her hair.
When the two arrived home, Mu Xue had already changed her clothes and was sitting on the rug by the door. Perhaps because enjoying the rain that day had been so pleasant, Mu Xue really liked that spot by the door, and like a cat, she stayed there the whole time.
Seeing the two return, she touched her stomach and said, "Hurry up, I'm hungry."
Lossie walked to her side, glanced down at her, and finally said, "Wait."
Mu Xue chuckled, lay down on the blanket, and watched Luo Xi walk away: "Good for you."
Then she went to see Cheng Qing. After seeing Luo Xi to the door, Cheng Qing turned around and closed the iron gate with her umbrella. On the way back, she went to the chicken coop to check on it, collected the eggs, and then returned.
Seeing Mu Xue lying at the door, Cheng Qing put away her umbrella and hung it in the corridor, dripping water. She casually said, "Cover yourself with a blanket so you don't catch a cold."
Mu Xue scoffed, "Don't jinx it."
Seeing that Cheng Qing was just speaking casually and was about to leave without paying attention to her, she called out to Cheng Qing again: "Cheng Qing."
Cheng Qing turned to look at her, and Mu Xue stared at her for a while before asking, "Good luck!"
Cheng Qing smiled, turned around and left.
The words were incoherent, and although no one explained them clearly, it seemed that everyone understood them at the same time.
Wow, Mu Xue is the head of the CP (couple pairing)!
I also think this "cheering on" is a rather subtle thing.
[Just now at the store entrance, she was the one who pushed the princess out. Needless to say, they're definitely a couple.]
***
Although we chatted for a long time at noon, no one ate much, since it was high-calorie food and many people only had a small taste.
After checking the refrigerator, Cheng Qing found that there was nothing left, so she simply made three bowls of noodles with eggs and vegetables.
As the three sat together, Mu Xue said somewhat dejectedly, "My recording will end tomorrow."
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi blinked innocently at her, and Mu Xue was immediately disappointed, roaring, "Aren't you reluctant to part with them?"
Cheng Qing was taken aback, then realized what she meant: "I can't bear to part with it, I can't bear to part with it."
Losi grumbled, "What's there to be reluctant about? The circle is small, we'll run into each other all the time."
Cheng Qing laughed again: "Of course!"
Mu Xue: "...You...you...I'm so heartbroken."
After the jokes, everyone tidied up and went upstairs to rest.
The recording for the day was finally over. Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her room to call Cheng Rong on her phone.
It was already 9 p.m., and Cheng Rong's dormitory was still brightly lit, with everyone either playing on their phones or computers.
Cheng Rong was also observing on the webpage. Seeing that everyone was cursing Ming Yue and even digging up things from back then, she felt a little worried.
When she heard her phone ring, she glanced at it and saw that it was her sister calling. She quickly grabbed her phone and left the dormitory.
Her furtive behavior only drew the attention of the other roommates.
"Are you in love?"
Cheng Rong turned around and glared at them: "No."
After leaving the house, he answered the phone: "Sis?"
Cheng Qing sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at the night view outside the window and smiling as she replied, "Yeah, I just came up and haven't had time to read today's comments yet. But you... did you watch the live stream together today?"
She still remembered the swimming incident; someone must have brought it up. There was no malice in anyone's eyes; the person who brought it up was probably one of their own.
Cheng Rong hummed in response, which was considered a vague agreement.
Cheng Qing chuckled, "I'm not blaming you, I just wanted to say thank you."
Cheng Rong was taken aback, then smiled happily and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems my sister has truly, truly, truly forgotten about Mingyue. If it were the older sister from before, she would have been heartbroken if the family had treated Mingyue this way.
The thought of this possibility made Cheng Rong very happy. If all of this was thanks to Luo Xi, then she would go back and persuade her parents.
With this in mind, she kindly forwarded two more erotic novels to Cheng Qing.
He even kindly reminded Cheng Qing, "This is something I found online for you; it's very educational."
Cheng Qing didn't understand at first: "What is it?"
Cheng Rong then playfully scolded her, "Oh dear, you really are something, why do you always make people spell things out so clearly?"
After scolding her sister, she hung up the phone.
Cheng Qing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two files that popped up on her phone. She suddenly realized what was going on and was both amused and exasperated: "Where did this guy find all this?"
Then I carefully saved this educational article and reluctantly got up to wash up.
***
The day wasn't particularly tiring, but it certainly wasn't pleasant either. Although the war was won, Cheng Qing didn't relax.
After changing into her new home, Cheng Qing yawned as she walked to the door. Just as her wet hand was about to touch the doorknob, she suddenly stopped.
A sudden, inexplicable sense of panic washed over her, and almost instantly, she guessed what might have happened.
Cheng Qing took a deep breath, then slowly turned her head to look at the mirror by the door. Because of the steam that filled the room during the shower, a thin layer of fog had formed on the mirror.
The mirror obscured my view, obscuring the bathroom scene. But I could still clearly see that my own reflection wasn't in it…
Cheng Qing closed her eyes again, and when she opened them again... the mirror was back, the reflection was there, but Cheng Qing's heart was in turmoil.
After his expression changed several times, Cheng Qing suddenly swore: "...I'm really @#￥%"

Thank you for your support.
Chapter 125
Cheng Qing never expected things to take such a turn.
How long did it take her to adapt and accept the time travel? She finally did, but now it seems she doesn't need to stay here long-term?
This feeling arose out of nowhere, and as Cheng Qing reached out to touch the mirror, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Now it was all just a premonition, and she could only go back to bed with a cold face.
After turning off the lights, I stared blankly into the dark room.
Losi...
***
As dawn broke, the morning light filtered into the room through the thin blackout curtains. The light fell on my eyelids, causing them to flutter.
Losi slowly opened her eyes, looked at the dimly lit ceiling, and began to think.
Mu Xue is leaving today, and the farewell banquet is an unavoidable part of the event. Also, this program only has a few days left before it ends.
Before it ended, with Teacher Cheng... Oh dear, what was I thinking!
She couldn't help but chuckle, stopped thinking about it, and got up feeling refreshed.
Just as she sat down on the edge of the bed to put on her slippers, her phone next to her pillow beeped. Losi picked it up and saw it was a text message from her older brother.
This recording of the show was different from usual because many people in my family were paying attention to the show because of the past scandals.
Actually, my older brother had already said he would help me back then.
But Rossi just couldn't swallow her anger and insisted on handling it herself. Because of her stubborn nature and the fact that things hadn't gotten out of control yet, her family didn't intervene for the time being.
Later, Teacher Cheng appeared, and things took a more amicable turn. Not only did she stop being criticized, but she also turned her life around and became the most adorable female star.
Losi: ...
Because of this, her family hasn't interfered much in her life since the show started filming.
As the heir to the company, the eldest brother is always busy, and even when he has a little free time, he gives it all to his sister-in-law and niece.
Why did you have time to contact me today? Luo Xi glanced at her phone curiously; the text message simply asked if she was awake yet.
Losi replied: "I'm up."
Immediately, the phone screen in my hand showed my older brother's call.
Losi paused for a moment, then answered the phone with a puzzled look on her face.
Luo Moxiao's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Baby, why are you up so early today?"
Lossie's face immediately darkened: "Don't call me by my nickname, it's too corny." Why is my family name Bao'er?
Luo Moxiao chuckled softly, but quickly became serious again: "The main reason I'm looking for you this time is to have a chat with you."
So there's something you need? Losi wondered again. She'd been recording a show lately, what could possibly be on his mind for her?
Losi asked, "What is it?"
Luo Moxiao: "That Cheng Qing..."
Luo Xi: "You mean Teacher Cheng?"
Luo Moxiao: "Did she and that Mingyue... have they explained things clearly?"
Judging from the live stream I saw last night, will this love-struck guy really forget Mingyue? I hope he's not just using his sister as a substitute!
Upon hearing this, Losi immediately smiled and said, "Of course! Teacher Cheng isn't blind, am I not good enough?"
Luo Moxiao certainly thought his younger sister was incredibly wonderful, but...
"She's not blind, but she's been blind for so many years, hasn't she?" Luo Moxiao didn't want to interfere in his sister's love life, but wasn't this really unreliable?
Losi choked for a moment, then said, "That's because she didn't know me before."
Luo Moxiao was pleased with his younger sister's confidence, but...
"That was just a waste of time! Bao'er, I don't think Cheng Qing is very reliable."
What kind of talk is that? How could Teacher Cheng be unreliable? Luo Xi's eyes widened, and she said unhappily, "When you and your sister-in-law were together, I was very supportive." The implication was clear: you should see your own position clearly!
