"Oh, really?" Cheng Qing smiled gently. "Are you returning the favor to me?"
As he spoke, Cheng Qing reached out and pinched Luo Xi's waist. Luo Xi was extremely ticklish, and with just this one pinch, she collapsed onto the leather chair and started laughing.
"Teacher Cheng, you've gone too far! No tickling allowed, hahahahaha..."
Losi called out, but was tickled twice more, and immediately started laughing and twisting around in the chair.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Cheng Qing knew when to stop, but the little girl, having just gained her freedom, got up and pounced on Cheng Qing to tickle her.
Although Cheng Qing was tackled, she couldn't let her succeed, so she grabbed Luo Xi's wrists with both hands.
Losi was surprised that Cheng Qing was so cunning and quick-witted, managing to control her in such a short time.
Losi was indignant when she suddenly found her hand being grabbed. Without any support, she couldn't stand up and ended up falling directly onto Cheng Qing.
When Cheng Qing saw her fall, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head to avoid her.
And so, the kiss landed squarely on Cheng Qing's face.
Both of them could clearly feel the touch, as if it were falling on their hearts.
The car fell silent; no one spoke or moved.
After holding that position for three seconds, Losi quickly pulled her hand back and sat up, holding onto the back of the chair.
Feeling helpless and not daring to look at Cheng Qing, he glared at the onlookers, the driver, and the cameraman, his face flushed, before pushing open the car door and running away.
Cheng Qing covered the half of her cheek that had been kissed and asked the cameraman, "Will this part be cut?"
The cameraman just stared at her for a while, then said, "I'm the one recording, not the editor. But I think it's very likely..."
Cheng Qing was also a little flustered, so she didn't realize whether the most likely outcome was whether to cut or not.
When she sat up, Losi was already gone. Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment, then said with a toothache, "I went too far. Is she angry?"
Cheng Qing hadn't noticed anything from when Losi got up until she ran away. Therefore, he had no idea what Losi was feeling at that moment.
The cameraman had mixed feelings. He glanced at Cheng Qing several times, and finally could only say, "Why don't you go in and you'll find out?"
Cheng Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."
So he pushed open the car door and got out.
***
At this time, Kong Mingyan had already booked the largest private room, and a group of people were already seated.
They even reserved a seat for Cheng Qing, saying, "She swam 1500 meters for you all, so let's all toast her."
No one objected, and they all took other seats.
Cheng Qing hadn't arrived yet, so the main dishes hadn't been served. Only some appetizers and snacks were brought out. The director grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, cracking them open as he asked, "Why haven't these two arrived yet?"
Lin Shandie laughed and said, "Did she pester Teacher Cheng to go buy something to eat?"
Kong Mingyan immediately said, "Really? That time the supermarket found Cheng Qing had hidden some pocket money, so I handed it in."
Lin Shandie: "..." You've gone too far.
Liu Suoyu said, "I have a feeling that Teacher Cheng must still have some money hidden somewhere. If she wants to hide it, she must still have some."
Kong Mingyan, cracking sunflower seeds, thought it made sense and said, "Is that so? I'll look for it again when I get back tonight..."
Before she could finish speaking, Losi kicked the door open and came in.
Kong Mingyan thought she had come to start a fight, so he immediately said, "I'm not looking anymore, I'm not looking anymore."
As a result, after Losi came in, she slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".
Then he leaned against the door, his face cold.
Everyone: "..." This is ridiculous. Who offended her?
Kong Mingyan instinctively felt that the attack was directed at him, so he quickly winked at his assistant: "Quick, call her agent."
Before the assistant could even process Director Kong's look, everyone noticed that Losi, who was leaning against the door, had visibly blushed.
Is he famous?
She became increasingly popular, so popular it was almost painful, so popular that even her shyness was palpable to everyone in the private room…
Then, everyone gasped!
Holy crap!!! Could it be...?
"Lossie? Did you lock the door?"
Cheng Qing's voice, as clear as a spring stream, came from outside the door, sounding somewhat muffled through the doorway.
Losi, standing behind the door, froze, then quickly reached out and locked the door.
Yes, it's locked.
Cheng Qing, standing outside the door: "..." Oh no, she's furious.
Everyone inside the door: "..." Okay, it must be because of Teacher Cheng.
"Lossie?" Cheng Qing probably really thought Lossie was very angry, so this time he called her name even more gently.
To Losi, it was just a name, but it sounded like sweet words.
She immediately shouted angrily, "Don't shout!"
Everyone, both inside and outside the door, held their breath!
Cheng Qing was taken aback for a moment, and could only continue to ask, "Then can I... still eat?"
This time it was Losi's turn to be stunned. She turned her head and looked at the dozen or twenty people in the private room, and saw that everyone looked dumbfounded.
Losi flew into a rage again: "What are you looking at?!"
Everyone immediately turned their heads away, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and started cracking them open.
But his gaze unconsciously drifted over there...
That was amazing!!! (OvO)
Author's Note:
Sorry, I didn't have time today, so I'm a little late.
My computer broke down last night, and I should take it to get it repaired tomorrow. I probably won't be able to code during the day tomorrow.
Chapter 35
Under everyone's gossipy gaze, Losi felt increasingly ashamed and indignant.
I couldn't help but glare at them again, and they wisely stopped watching this time while they were eating sunflower seeds.
Losi couldn't help but cover her mouth with the back of her hand, as if that would cover up that embarrassing thing.
What does it feel like to like someone?
It's probably because you want to see her and be close to her every moment, and even the most ordinary contact is full of tingling sensations.
Lossie has filmed kissing scenes before; as a top-tier actress in the entertainment industry, she has starred in many idol dramas.
But never before had I felt my body freeze and my breath catch in my throat as I did today when I kissed Cheng Qing's cheek; only the sensation on my lips was vivid, even burning and tingling...
This sudden accident left Losi flustered.
But we can't keep blocking the door forever!
Cheng Qing outside didn't urge Luo Xi to open the door; she just waited silently.
After a long silence, the director finally couldn't help but say, "Rosie! Um... the door's locked, so the waiter can't serve the food!"
Rossi blushed even more, gave the director a silent glare, and then turned to open the door.
Everyone couldn't help but crane their necks to look, only to see Cheng Qing standing outside with an embarrassed expression.
Teacher Cheng was embarrassed too!!! That makes us even more curious!!!
Everyone's gazes became even more unfocused. Luo Xi didn't dare to look at Cheng Qing and quickly ran to the main table to find a seat.
Cheng Qing strode in, smiled at everyone, and apologized: "Sorry for taking up so much time."
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Everyone shook their heads and waved their hands, but their eyes were gleaming.
Cheng Qing found it amusing but didn't explain further. Instead, she glanced at the only remaining seat and looked somewhat troubled: "Director Kong, why don't you sit there?"
Kong Mingyan smiled and said, "This meal is specially for you, please sit down."
Cheng Qing chuckled: "Why are you inviting me to dinner? This is making me feel quite uneasy."
Kong Mingyan laughed heartily: "I offended you during today's recording and still made you swim so far for everyone."
Cheng Qing shook his head: "When I came here, Mr. Yang had already made it clear to me that it was my duty, and Director Kong didn't need to be so polite."
Mr. Yang was the staff member who initially contacted Cheng Qing to sign the contract, and he naturally explained all the details before coming to the show.
Since they are ordinary people, there are probably more things they don't know. For example, they can't reveal content that was recorded but not yet aired.
For example, if you encounter any celebrities here that you are unhappy with, you cannot spread the word.
For example, the show might do things that make you uncomfortable for the sake of the show's effect, and you can only accept them unconditionally.
For ordinary people, contracts are naturally less than fair. But Cheng Qing doesn't rely on the show to make money; her goals are clear, and the contract was signed relatively quickly.
Cheng Qing wasn't really worried about swimming 1500 meters today.
But Cheng Qing felt better knowing that Kong Mingyan valued it so much.
"You can't say that. For the sake of the show, offending someone is offending someone, and apologizing is apologizing. Hahahaha..." Kong Mingyan said humorously, and everyone burst into laughter.
Cheng Qing didn't stand on ceremony: "Since it's Director Kong's kind intention, I won't be polite." With that, she walked past the others. By this time, Luo Xi was already seated, and the main seat was naturally next to Cheng Qing's seat.
Seeing Cheng Qing approach, Luo Xi turned her head slightly.
After Cheng Qing took her seat, Kong Mingyan called the waiter to serve the dishes.
People gradually started chatting and kept their eyes off the other side.
