Cheng Qing didn't respond; her coldness was chilling.
Mingyue didn't stay in that state for long, and instead said happily, "But I'm very happy that you could come today."
Although that's what I said, I really looked down on it.
The agent said: If we can't create a romantic pairing, then we'll go with the "good friend" persona.
Mingyue is always someone who clearly separates public and private matters in important situations, yet she cannot accept this outcome. Whether it's selfishness, jealousy, or pride, it's all part of the equation.
She wanted Cheng Qing to fall in love with her again.
She wanted Cheng Qing's arrogance to crumble slowly, and for Losi on the altar to yearn for something she could not have.
Just think of someone like Losi, whose career started at its peak. Everyone could only look up to her; she was revered as a role model for all female stars.
Why would a woman who can't have him like him?
Just thinking about it makes me feel good, doesn't it? Mingyue felt the same way; she wanted this kind of ending.
However, Cheng Qing only glanced slightly at what was behind her; Zhao Baibing and Feng Qiuyi were still asleep. It seemed that Mingyue's accident yesterday had kept them up, and everyone was probably resting.
Seeing Cheng Qing observing what was happening behind her, Mingyue looked up with a joyful and expectant expression and asked, "Can we still play together?"
Cheng Qing replied briskly, "No need. I heard you calling my name after I fainted yesterday."
Mingyue paused, then lowered her head shyly.
Cheng Qing squinted at her; both were shy, but Luo Xi was much cuter.
Mingyue: "Unconsciously..."
With a sneer, Cheng Qing interrupted her before she could even finish, saying, "You know perfectly well that I won't cooperate with you. Since it's a thankless task, given your personality... you should have given up long ago."
Time seemed to stand still, and the air seemed to freeze.
Mingyue's pupils contracted, and her heart trembled. These blunt words, almost accusatory, and so casually trampled on her dignity.
Mingyue clenched her fists and lowered her eyes, making it impossible for anyone to discern her expression.
Cheng Qing chuckled lightly, her laughter as refreshing as a spring breeze: "What makes you so reluctant to let go?" This question, tinged with amusement, made him feel incredibly awkward.
Mingyue's shoulders trembled, then she suddenly looked up and glared at Cheng Qing, tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down like pearls.
She asked in a trembling voice, "How could you say that about me?"
Cheng Qing leaned down slightly to look at her. She truly admired Ming Yue; even after being spoken to like that, there was no hatred in her eyes. But Cheng Qing knew what Ming Yue was really thinking.
Yesterday, the story Cheng Xi told Cheng Qing made her fully understand what kind of person Ming Yue was.
Therefore, it's impossible for someone like her to remain so calm after hearing what I said. Her ability to conceal her emotions... is unparalleled!
Cheng Qing sighed, but she wasn't afraid.
She stared at Mingyue, a cold smile playing on her lips: "I roughly know what you want to do. Guess what I want to do?"
Mingyue was stunned and stared blankly at Cheng Qing; she really didn't know.
Cheng Qing moved even closer, and Mingyue could clearly see Cheng Qing's beautiful face and skin condition, which made her even more jealous.
But Cheng Qing's words made her feel as if she had fallen into a cold winter, and she no longer had the energy to care about jealousy...
"You need to know that during the years we've known each other, it wasn't just what you knew, I also knew about you."
Mingyue opened her eyes wide and looked at her. For the first time, there was panic in her eyes, a panic that she couldn't hide.
Even as he said these words, Cheng Qing on the other end of the line maintained a smile.
Mingyue finally stopped trying to get closer to Cheng Qing and instead asked, "Are you threatening me?"
Cheng Qing stood up straight, looking down at the girl with icy eyes: "If this counts as a threat, then so be it! I know you won't accept this, and you have plenty of things you want to do. Otherwise, you shouldn't have called my name yesterday. So, before you do anything, you should have guessed that I would get angry too."
“You never used to get angry,” Mingyue said, biting her lower lip, “You never treated me like this before either.”
Cheng Qing was taken aback, then lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Deep down, she still said to the original owner of the body: I'm sorry.
Mingyue reached out to pull Cheng Qing, but was pushed aside by a hand that suddenly appeared from the side.
Cheng Qing was startled and turned to look, only to find Luo Xi running out from next door. She was still wearing her pajamas, and her black hair was a little messy from sleeping. It was clear that Luo Xi had arrived quickly and hadn't tidied herself up at all.
Luo Xi glared at Ming Yue, then turned to look at Cheng Qing, her eyes filled with anger and questioning.
Cheng Qing was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile: "You're up?"
Luo Xi then looked at Ming Yue, but Ming Yue only smiled gently. It was as if her previous rage had vanished like smoke.
Luo Xi remained silent, gritted her teeth, and then suddenly lunged forward to hug Cheng Qing. She leaned against Cheng Qing's chest, her arms tightly wrapped around Cheng Qing's waist, but she glared fiercely at Ming Yue.
Mingyue: "..."
Cheng Qing raised her hands, but noticing that she only wanted to hug her, she lowered her hands and said, "Let's go back! It's cold."
Luo Xi nodded, not even glancing at Cheng Qing, and simply said, "Cold."
Cheng Qing: "..."
Finally, Cheng Qing reluctantly took off her coat and draped it over Luo Xi. The white shirt was thick, and as soon as she put it on, she felt a warm embrace.
Losi finally dropped her possessive gaze, looked at Mingyue triumphantly, and said as if in provocation, "Mine."
Mingyue almost lost her footing. She had just been attacked by Cheng Qing and hadn't even recovered yet! Now Luo Xi was at it too!
Therefore, Mingyue's expression immediately became rather unpleasant.
But the live stream was about to start, so she could only suppress her anger and remind Luo Xi, "Senior, are you admitting you like Teacher Cheng?"
Losie sneered, "Nonsense, who wouldn't like such a good teacher? Oh, there are some fools who wouldn't! Now that the teacher is even better, that fool must be furious, right? Hehehe!" As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue sarcastically.
Cheng Qing pulled her clothes up to cover her and whispered, "Hurry up, it would be so stupid to record this."
Losy reached out to pull the clothes off her head and shouted, "Are you saying I'm stupid?"
Cheng Qing chuckled: "You're not stupid, and you can't be stupid, after all, only a fool wouldn't like me!"
Losibala paused, her hand still holding his clothes, and said, feeling a bit resentful, "I'm not stupid, but it doesn't necessarily mean I like you!"
Cheng Qing simply replied with an "oh," and said, "It's okay. If you don't like it, then I'll like you instead."
Losi froze for a moment before saying, "...Go back."
The two of them tugged and wrestled for less than a minute before heading back together. Mingyue, left behind, was scolded by the couple and forced to endure their public displays of affection.
She felt resentment towards Cheng Qing for her words, anger at Luo Xi for not giving her face, and jealousy at the natural expression of love between the two.
***
The moment the live stream started, I thought I was an invincible VIP.
Haha, they're getting more and more casual, but I like it.
Is this loving embrace something we can see first thing in the morning?
In the live stream, the first thing you see when you open the app is Cheng Qing and Luo Xi embracing tightly in the distance. Immediately, the "Good morning" comments are replaced by screams.
As soon as Cheng Qing and Luo Xi returned to the villa, they saw Mu Xue coming downstairs, already changed. Seeing Cheng Qing return with Luo Xi in her pajamas, Mu Xue's expression instantly froze: "Where have you two been?"
Luo Xi threw Cheng Qing's coat back at Cheng Qing, and said angrily to Mu Xue, "Let's go for a walk." Then she went upstairs.
Mu Xue stared at her retreating figure, bewildered, then turned to Cheng Qing and asked, "...What's wrong with her?"
Cheng Qing licked her dry lips and said weakly, "She's probably cold. She's gone upstairs to change her clothes. You come down and eat!"
Mu Xue said "oh" and came down to help Cheng Qing set the breakfast table. Just as they figured it out, Luo Xi came down, and the three of them sat together.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, as if the sky were collapsing. Cheng Qing got up and turned on the light, instantly illuminating the dim room.
Mu Xue noticed that today's breakfast included not only the usual meat buns, red bean buns, and shumai, but also a serving of pan-fried dumplings.
Cheng Qing placed the fried dumplings in front of her, and Mu Xue remembered that she had said she wanted to eat dumplings yesterday, so Cheng Qing must have specially gone out to buy fried dumplings.
Thinking this, Mu Xue was filled with emotion at that moment.
However, this touching moment lasted less than 10 seconds before Cheng Qing across from him said, "Eat up! After you finish eating, you still need to learn how to make noodles!"
With a loud boom, thunder rumbled outside.
Mu Xue's mood was just like the thunderstorm outside; it was as devastating as a bolt from the blue.
Her expression was one of shock, and she stammered, "Really...really learning?"
Cheng Qing looked up at her in confusion: "Didn't we agree on this yesterday?"
Mu Xue shook her head: "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today."
Cheng Qing chuckled: "Then I'm sorry, it's useless to me yesterday or today. You promised to make us some noodles, that's the best you can do."
Mu Xue: "..."
Mu Xue was too embarrassed to refute Cheng Qing's words and finally resigned herself to her fate.
Hahaha, well done, Teacher Cheng!
[Xiaoice was utterly defeated! They were completely defeated just like that!]
Waiting for Xiaobing's noodles this afternoon! (#^.^#)
Mu Xue couldn't persuade Cheng Qing, so she could only look down at the fried dumplings again and ask Cheng Qing, "These dumplings are..."
Cheng Qing: "These are the gifts. Didn't you want to eat them yesterday but didn't get to? So, I bought them for you today."
Mu Xue was touched and looked at Cheng Qing expectantly, asking, "Did you go out this morning to buy this for me?"
Cheng Qing shook his head: "No, I bought it for you when I bought breakfast for Luo Xi."
Mu Xue: "..." Couldn't you just lie to me?!
[Hahaha, Xiaobing, are you making a fool of yourself?]
[Hahaha, that's hilarious! Haven't you figured out your own place yet?]
[Successfully defeated Xiaobing.]
[Teacher Cheng has no heart _(:з」∠)_]
