It's worth noting that Cheng Qing had won the plush toy at least 20 times out of those 159 attempts. But each time, just as she reached the top, the toy would suddenly be dropped.
This time, the monkey doll was held tightly at the top. Then, the claws moved to above the delivery opening, and the monkey was finally released.
The monkey landed in the delivery slot, and the claw machine sounded a congratulatory voice.
At that moment, the whole world fell silent. The clamor of voices seemed to fade away, and Cheng Qing and Luo Xi's eyes were only on the doll that had rolled out, and their ears were filled with the machine's childish congratulations.
Cheng Qing stood there stunned, the tension in her heart eased, and her serious expression slowly turned into a relaxed smile.
She turned to talk to Rossi, but before she could speak, Rossi pounced on her and shouted, "You're amazing!"
That's not what I really meant. 159 times? That's hardly impressive!
But Cheng Qing was still very happy to hear this. He reached out and hugged her waist, looked down at Luo Xi who was looking up at him, and asked with a smile, "So, we're officially a couple now, right?"
Lossie gave a soft hum, feeling sweet inside, and reluctantly said, "Fine!"
Cheng Qing smiled, and although her smile couldn't be seen because of the mask, her curved eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
Luo Xi felt a tickle in her heart, so she stood on tiptoe, and Cheng Qing smiled and leaned down to touch her through her mask.
Losi felt proud. Ahhh, Teacher Cheng definitely can't resist my good looks.
Cheng Qing looked up at the supermarket and asked, "Do I need to buy anything else?"
Losi raised her head slightly and said proudly, "Pack your bags and check in."
Cheng Qing laughed, hugged her tightly, took a breath in the crook of her neck, and said, "Thank you."
Her voice was soft, yet alluringly seductive. Her hot breath sent a shiver down Losi's spine.
Losi blushed even more and pushed her away, saying, "Let's go home!"
***
On this day, the "Promise Forever" couple was wailing and lamenting in their fan forum. For the last two days, the production team turned off the live stream to maintain the mystery.
Even so, Promise Eternity knew that Teacher Cheng and Losi would be parting ways today.
After all, today is the last day of recording.
Therefore, although we didn't see how they parted ways, Weibo was still filled with lamentations, saddened that the two lovers were separated like this.
However, many fans are more worried about something else...
So, will this really be the last time the two of them perform together?
[No! Please, please, which boss will invest in another show and bring those two back!]
【yes!】
I'd be willing to pay to watch it.
But even so, the biggest fans know that it's impossible to see the two of them reunite again.
If the two women have no relationship, they won't collaborate in the future to avoid suspicion. If they do have a relationship, they'll definitely not collaborate to avoid suspicion.
Unless... it's made public!
There are female celebrities in the entertainment industry who have gone public with their relationships, but those who continue to work together after going public are still a minority.
Before half an hour had passed since I had this thought, I saw a fan post a photo to the super topic.
The photo is actually quite simple: it's a picture of a woman in a plain-colored long dress, wearing a mask, reaching out to catch a woman in white in her arms at the entrance of a busy supermarket.
The woman was also wearing a mask. The two looked at each other, and although their smiling mouths could not be seen, their smiling eyes and brows were clearly visible.
[Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, it's Teacher Cheng!!! It's the princess!!!]
[The doll Teacher Cheng is holding... Ahhhhh, could it be the doll I promised to catch for the princess?!]
[The recording of the show has ended, but Teacher Cheng hasn't forgotten about this. So touching! o(╥﹏╥)o]
I never expected to see them together again; I'm so happy.
[They even went grocery shopping together after the recording ended. If this isn't true, I'll twist my head off.]
[The promise is forever!!!]
In the photo, the two are embracing and laughing in front of a bustling supermarket.
Their own little world.

Fang Silei opened the door, and Luo Xi led the way inside. When they reached the entrance, she turned back to look at Cheng Qing and said with a charming smile, "Change your shoes."
Several pairs of slippers were placed in the entryway. Cheng Qing hummed in agreement and went to change into the slippers. Luo Xi reached out to pull Cheng Qing's suitcase, but Cheng Qing hesitated for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "I'll do it myself!" The luggage wasn't light, and Cheng Qing didn't want Luo Xi to carry it.
Losi didn't care and ran off with her luggage, saying, "I'll help you."
Cheng Qing: "..."
Fang Silei glanced at Luo Xi's suitcase in her hand, speechless, and then looked at Luo Xi, who was helping Cheng Qing with her luggage: "..."
Seeing that Luo Xi was leaving with her luggage, Cheng Qing didn't stop her. After changing her shoes, she followed Luo Xi into the living room.
Losi's apartment is located in the busiest part of downtown Haicheng. It's a duplex, with a total area of about 400 square meters including the two floors.
There are a total of 6 rooms. The first floor has a very large living room connected to an open kitchen and a small balcony, as well as a gym. The second floor, in addition to the master bedroom and guest rooms, also has a very large garden balcony.
Losi is someone who knows how to enjoy life. She has planted a circle of flowers and plants on her balcony, set up a balcony table and chairs and a large parasol, and often drinks tea there.
Luo Xi's master bedroom was on the second floor. She didn't wait for Cheng Qing's luggage and carried it upstairs without waiting for her.
Fang Silei saw this and quickly followed.
Cheng Qing was taken aback, but before she could go over, Fang Silei told her, "You can tour the house first."
Cheng Qing: "..."
It seemed they had something to say, so Cheng Qing decided not to follow them and turned to look around on the first floor.
***
Losi dragged her luggage up to the second floor and then towards her room.
Fang Silei's eyes widened, and she reached out to grab Cheng Qing's luggage, preventing Luo Xi from continuing to walk. She asked Luo Xi, "What are you doing?"
Losy blinked, looked at Fang Silei, and said very seriously, "We're dating." We've already confirmed our relationship, why are you still stopping me?!
Fang Silei took a breath and said, "On the way back, your eyes were glued to her. How could I not notice?"
Luo Xi looked down at Fang Silei's hand pulling the suitcase and asked, "Good to see, so what are you doing? Let go!!"
Fang Silei: "I'm trying to make you realize that even if you're officially in a relationship, there's no need to move in together right away!"
With a blank expression, Losi asked Fang Silei, "I've slept with her so many nights already, we've been living together for a long time."
Fang Silei was speechless: "How can that be the same? That was for a TV show, now she's a real single woman."
Luo Xi pouted and looked at Fang Silei, saying, "What's different? There are no security cameras in that room!" She was talking as if no one could possibly know what she was doing.
Fang Silei: "You two weren't officially dating back then! What could you possibly be doing?"
Lossie choked. Back then, even if the two of them had feelings for each other, they were only colleagues, so it was already good enough if they just thought about it in their hearts.
Now that they've confirmed their relationship, they'll move in together immediately, and then...
Thinking of this, Luo Xi blushed and glared at Fang Silei. "It's all your fault! You made me overthink things. I was perfectly innocent!"
Fang Silei was taken aback, then asked, "Why are you shy? Oh, I know. I'm not worried about that, she won't!"
Losi: "..."
Fang Silei: "..."
After saying this, the two were speechless for a moment. Only then did Rossi belatedly blush and whisper, "If you don't know how, you can learn!" She then whispered even more, "We don't have much time, so we must cherish it."
Hearing this, he became even more determined and moved Cheng Qing's luggage to the master bedroom.
Seeing her insistence, Fang Silei knew she couldn't stop her, so she simply let go. Sure enough, Luo Xi quickly pulled the luggage inside, then wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, this will be her and Cheng Qing's room! Thinking about it this way, even this master bedroom, which looks like an apartment, seems to have become cozy.
Fang Silei, standing at the door, was puzzled and asked her, "If she wanted a room, ... then why did you prepare a guest room for her in the first place???"
Lossie naturally replied, "Let her sleep when we argue." She couldn't kick her out.
Fang Silei: "..." You've come prepared quite thoroughly. She was completely speechless at Luo Xi's antics.
***
At this moment, Cheng Qing, who had been browsing on the first floor, finally finished looking around and went to the second floor.
This house follows the minimalist style that young people like nowadays, with white and wood as the main colors and black only used as an accent.
The design company that Luo Xi initially hired wasn't involved in the entire process. But Cheng Qing also knew that this minimalist style of decoration, while simple in appearance, was actually quite expensive.
The simpler something is, the more advanced the customization it needs.
This wooden circular staircase alone is probably quite expensive.
Just as Cheng Qing finished thinking, she saw Fang Silei standing at the top of the stairs with a strange expression.
Cheng Qing: "Why are you standing here?" Then she asked, "Where's my luggage?"
Fang Silei turned to look at her and said, "In the master bedroom."
Cheng Qing immediately understood why her expression was so complicated.
Cheng Qing reassured her, "I won't do anything else."
Fang Silei's expression became even more complicated: "..."
Cheng Qing: "...What's wrong?"
Fang Silei said, "She's so looking forward to it, you should hurry up and learn it!"
Even someone as mature and composed as Cheng Qing blushed deeply after Fang Silei's words, his head practically steaming, unable to utter a complete sentence: "..."
