Upon hearing this, Luo Moxiao was taken aback, realizing he didn't really have much of a stance. As the company's heir, he hadn't chosen a marriage partner of equal social standing. Instead, he'd married a woman he'd only known for a short time, a decision supported only by Bao'er in his family at the time.
BoA once said: "If we have to get married, were we born as commodities?"
That one sentence made the parents at home suddenly change their minds.
That being said, Mingyue's situation is indeed not simple.
Luo Moxiao said helplessly, "I'm just concerned about you."
Losi was still unhappy: "It's using concern as an excuse."
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Luo Moxiao had never seen his younger sister like someone so much before, so for so long during the show, no one in the family dared to say anything to Bao'er.
But yesterday's program was so outrageous that he spent an entire night and a large sum of money to find out what happened back then.
It wasn't really a big secret; Cheng Qing had been very high-profile when she pursued him. Although same-sex marriage wasn't legal, and society is much more tolerant now, Cheng Qing's actions still attracted the attention of the entire school.
So, finding out about her is too easy.
How can someone you've liked for so many years suddenly fall for someone else in just two years?
Luo Moxiao wasn't very optimistic about her. If it were just a difference in status, wealth, or values, Luo Moxiao would support his sister's choice. But if her heart wasn't with his sister, Bao'er's misfortune was just the beginning.
Seemingly guessing what her brother was worried about, Luo Xi remained silent for a while before saying, "Big brother, don't worry. Even if things don't turn out well with Teacher Cheng, I won't regret it."
Luo Moxiao frowned upon hearing this. What did she mean by "not regretting it even if it's bad"? How much pain must she have felt from being hurt? His heart ached, knowing that this was his sister's resolute decision and her firm choice.
Because she loved her, she would accept whatever the outcome. However, as her brother, he didn't want to see his sister get hurt.
But Losi didn't give him much of a chance to advise her, and directly attacked her older brother: "Besides, Teacher Cheng is very good. Her speed and decisiveness in rejecting her ex are much better than yours."
Luo Moxiao: "..." Huh? Why did you have to belittle me in that last sentence?
Luo Xi hung up the phone after speaking. Luo Moxiao stared at the disconnected call, finally able to sigh and silently warn Cheng Qing: "If you dare to hurt my sister, I will make you regret it."
Losi didn't care about any of that; she got up and drew back the curtains.
The sun was shining brightly outside. The rain that had lasted for two days had stopped, and the air was fresh after the rain. The birdsong was especially clear and melodious.
Although Luo Moxiao made the call, it didn't dampen Luo Xi's good mood. She happily opened her wardrobe and picked out a pink long-sleeved V-neck tulle dress.
She braided her hair into a centipede braid, leaving some wispy strands by her temples to frame her fair skin.
Losy has great skin. After a simple skincare routine, she applied foundation and then lipstick. Her pink lips instantly looked glossy and shiny, making everyone want to kiss them.
Wearing a fitted pink dress with a voluminous hem, she looked graceful and like a flower bud about to bloom in spring.
Losi smiled contentedly and happily went out the door.
The corridor outside was quiet, with only the faint sound of sizzling oil coming from downstairs. Luo Xi paused, peeked into Cheng Qing's tightly closed door, and then went downstairs.
As soon as I got downstairs, I went to check on the kitchen.
It was indeed Cheng Qing. She had her long hair styled into a bun on her head, which would make things much easier for her.
Today, Cheng Qing was wearing a gray long-sleeved top with one shoulder and charcoal gray skinny jeans. Bathed in the morning light, she seemed to be glowing all over.
Hearing the sound of herself getting off, Cheng Qing turned around and looked at her. Her delicate features appeared even softer in the light.
Upon seeing that it was herself, she gave a gentle smile, revealing a few pearly teeth.
Luo Xi couldn't help but think that Teacher Cheng's smile was so beautiful; it was a real pity she didn't enter the entertainment industry.
What are you thinking about?
Listen, her voice is beautiful too. Fang Silei said that many companies have approached Teacher Cheng, even if they don't want to sell songs, they want to sign Teacher Cheng as a singer.
Teacher Cheng only sang two songs, and I heard that both of them are currently in the top ten of the music charts. It seems... it would be a pity if he didn't become a singer.
Such a wonderful teacher, Teacher Cheng, and my brother still complains? He has no taste at all.
Seeing that Luo Xi was still standing at the top of the stairs staring blankly at her, Cheng Qing was taken aback. She walked up to Luo Xi with a puzzled look, waved her hand, but Luo Xi didn't react.
She couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Losi's cheek, asking with a smile, "Did you find me particularly beautiful today? Were you stunned?"
Only then did Luo Xi react, nodding blankly and blushing as she said, "Yes, it looks good." Her teacher, Cheng, really was good-looking.
Cheng Qing was taken aback, her face flushing red. She couldn't help but chuckle, gazing tenderly at Luo Xi, and said, "Thank you, Princess, you are also incredibly beautiful."
And so, in the morning light, the two looked at each other and smiled…
Just then, the live stream started, and the CP fans who saw this scene screamed continuously.
Only Brother Luo, watching the live stream, was speechless with frustration: "..." Damn it, this woman is too good at sweet talk. No wonder my little sister fell for her so quickly; who could resist her charms?
Cheng Rong, who was watching the live stream, was also heartbroken: "..." Isn't this just a matter of meeting the parents? I haven't even told my family yet!
Of course, there was another person feeling heartbroken, and that was Mu Xue, who had just come downstairs.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw two people at the top of the stairs smiling at each other, gazing tenderly into each other's eyes, their gazes almost melting each other's hearts.
this……
Mu Xue: ...Is this just early morning dog food?
"...Hey, hey, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Mu Xue got down and stood next to the two of them. She had nothing else to do all day, and now she was being fed dog food.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi both turned to look at her. Mu Xue rolled her eyes and asked, "Do we have any programs today?"
Cheng Qing thought for a moment: "According to the production team's idea, today is like a farewell banquet for you. But given the production team's track record, I don't know who they'll end up messing with."
Mu Xue: "..."
Sure enough, at 10 o'clock, the production team sent a message saying that they would hold a farewell banquet for the temporary guests.
In other words, it's about setting up a farewell stage. What exactly is a stage?
Yes, of course, each person or group needs to have a performance.
Cheng Qing: "Does fencing... count?"
Staff member: "Oh, Director Kong did tell me this earlier. He said that fencing and singing cannot be included in Teacher Cheng's performance list, and also that if the performance is not recognized by the audience, it will not count."
Cheng Qing asked in confusion, "It doesn't count? So what?"
The staff member smiled slightly and said humbly, "If it doesn't count, the fans in the live stream will draft the program list, and then choose the most popular performance."
Cheng Qing: "..." It's confirmed, the production team is messing with me.
Author's Note:
I was supposed to write this during the day, but I was out all day and didn't get back until late at night. So tired _(:з」∠)_ If the 12:00 midnight chapter hasn't been updated by 12:30, I'm probably too tired to continue and need to rest, so please don't wait!
Speaking of which, don't wait for the 12 o'clock showing, watch it during the day. Hahaha _(:з」∠)_
Chapter 126
They can't fencing, they can't sing, and they can't let their performance be rejected by the audience. In other words, the performance can't be haphazard or boring.
Otherwise, the punishment would be for the fans to create a show for him, but a show created by fans... Cheng Qing had a feeling it wouldn't be a good outcome.
Fortunately, the production team didn't go so far as to let the fans in the live stream decide whether the show was good or bad.
Today's farewell banquet is being held at the Cangsong Town Senior Citizens Association at 5 p.m. The audience includes guests, program crew members, and mostly villagers from the town.
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were villagers, they wouldn't be biased.
After accepting the fact that the production team was targeting her, Cheng Qing was thinking about what to perform that afternoon. Just then, a staff member who was about to leave seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "Oh right, Director Kong also said to remember to be serious during the performance."
Losi blinked: "What do you mean by 'be serious'?"
Staff member: "Besides work attitude, clothing can't be too casual either. Clothing should be appropriate for the performance. For example, you can't wear jeans when you're dancing Latin, and you can't play the piano without a formal dress, otherwise you'll lose points."
Cheng Qing, who had a toothache, found it hard to believe: "So, how could you have such an idea?... Does this mean we should go out and buy clothes?"
The staff member smiled and said, "Director Kong said it's up to everyone; you can buy it or not."
Cheng Qing's smile was almost impossible to maintain: "Does not buying mean we won't lose points?"
The staff member smiled and shook their head. Cheng Qing asked, "So, who do you think would bring a formal dress with them when they go out?"
The staff member hesitated for a moment, then said, "...I'll be going now."
The staff member seemed to know that if they stayed any longer they might get beaten up. Although Teacher Cheng was a woman, she was incredibly strong, so she left very quickly.
Cheng Qing didn't realize that it was already 10 o'clock and there were only 7 hours left until the evening performance.
Once the performance program is decided, the costumes also need to be prepared. Therefore, we need to start thinking about the program now.
Cheng Qing's specialties were all banned, so he could only ask Luo Xi, "What will you perform?"
Mu Xue sat on the sofa, happily swinging her legs, and said, "Let's do a striptease! I really like it."
Cheng Qing ignored her. Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked softly, "Um... can you dance?"
Cheng Qing remained silent for a long time: "...Bao'er, have you ever seen me dance?"
Bao, Bao'er? Luo Xi froze, her whole body turning bright red. She awkwardly realized that this nickname wasn't actually... corny at all, it was kind of cute.
Seeing that Luo Xi suddenly became shy, Cheng Qing turned back and thought about what she had said, feeling a little embarrassed herself. But then, thinking about her current strange situation, Cheng Qing's half-smile faded.
Mu Xue stroked her chin and asked the two of them, "What are your plans?"
Cheng Qing snapped out of her daze and saw Luo Xi staring at her with wide, questioning eyes. She smiled reassuringly and said, "I can do fencing and singing to some extent, but I've never tried dancing before."
Losi said, "I'll teach you something simple."
Mu Xue, always eager for drama, chimed in, "You should choose dancing! The senior is better at it. Don't choose something neither of you can do, that would be terrible."
Cheng Qing hesitated for a moment, then realized it made a lot of sense, and finally had to compromise, saying, "Okay, let's dance then. Everyone'll just be watching for fun. The requirements for the dance costume shouldn't be too high, right? But we'll probably need to buy two identical sets?"
When Luo Xi heard that Cheng Qing was willing to dance, she was overjoyed. She couldn't wait to see Teacher Cheng dance! She quickly took out her phone, found a short video, and sent it to Cheng Qing excitedly, saying, "This is a video that Fang Silei filmed for me during a previous rehearsal. It's quite simple. Teacher, take a look. I'll practice with you this afternoon."
Cheng Qing clicked on the video and saw that she was indeed in the practice room, wearing a plain white dress and black skinny jeans.
As the music played, Losi quickly began to dance rhythmically. Her movements were as light and graceful as a hopping bird, leaving Cheng Qing completely mesmerized.
I remember she had seen the performance online, but it was a fan-taken photo from a gala.
Because the photos were quite clear and taken at a good angle, they were widely circulated among fans.
When Cheng Qing decided to join the show, she went undercover in a fan group. As a new fan, this video was a gift from a long-time fan.
