Luo Xi walked over to Cheng Qing, unhappily reaching for Cheng Qing's phone. Cheng Qing shook her head, then said to Fang Silei, "She's a little tired, let her rest for a couple more days!"
Fang Silei frowned: "Then let her rest for another week, but she must start work in two weeks. Her work is booked until next year; she can't escape it forever."
Cheng Qing chuckled: "That's fine too!"
Losi, who was eavesdropping on tiptoe, suddenly widened her eyes. Cheng Qing smiled and comforted her, then asked Fang Silei, "Does she need an assistant?"
Lossie's eyes lit up, and she shouted, "Missing!"
Fang Silei: "...Hehe, we're lacking." We're lacking even if we don't want to.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Xi looked at Cheng Qing with sparkling eyes and asked, "Are you really willing to fly around with me?"
Cheng Qing raised his hand and patted her head, saying, "Mmm."
Luo Xi followed Cheng Qing closely, saying, "If I join the film crew, you'll come with me too!"
Cheng Qing: "Okay."
Luo Xi happily took Cheng Qing's hand and said brightly, "You're so kind."
Cheng Qing smiled back at her, unable to express that this was all she could offer.
Author's Note:
Eight hours already, I'm speechless. _(:з」∠)_
Actually, the second half of the outline isn't very long, but the transitions are a bit tricky. I'll take it slow, haha. TT
Chapter 146
For the next two weeks, Cheng Qing and Luo Xi spent the rest of their time together.
Since neither of them had anything to do, Fang Silei simply let them go off and fool around on their own.
Because it's the early stage when feelings of love are at their strongest, it's a time when the couple is extremely affectionate.
Luo Xi is also a clingy person. When Cheng Qing is cooking, she will unexpectedly jump onto Cheng Qing's back.
Cheng Qing is a steady person, but he would also pull Luo Xi into his arms and take advantage of her when she was watching TV.
As the morning sun shone on the earth, the two woke up in each other's arms. Then, together they prepared breakfast in the kitchen, exchanging smiles in the dawn light.
Then we sat down at the table to eat and chatted about some trivial topics.
After finishing their meal, they washed the dishes together, mopped the floor together, hung the clothes out to dry together, and did all the housework. Then they lay on the balcony together, basking in the autumn sun. If they happened to catch a glimpse of affection in each other's eyes, they would gently kiss for a while.
A superficial attempt.
They held hands and basked in the not-so-warm late autumn sun until noon. Sometimes they would cook lunch themselves, and sometimes, when they were feeling lazy, they would order takeout.
After lunch, we went upstairs to our room for a nap. When we woke up, the sun had already set. The autumn sunset was like a pool of blood, and by 4 p.m., the afterglow filled the room, adding to the feeling of parting between us.
After dinner, we leaned against each other, covered with a blanket, and watched TV. Before we knew it, it was late at night again, filled with laughter and playful banter.
As they entwined in bed, they saw each other as radiant as the stars, as fleeting as the morning dew, and as deeply affectionate as fish and water.
Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ultimately, Losi will have to return to her status as a big star and start a new job.

And the final installment of the best partners series was released as scheduled.
Because the live stream didn't go live for the last two days, even those who regularly tuned in to the live stream would obediently sit in front of the TV on that day.
The viewership ratings have increased noticeably, and even before the show premiered, online comments about "Aces Go Places" were already trending on social media.
Then, the show started on time.
Because it was the final episode, the show began with each celebrity's parting reflections and messages. Everyone said something touching, bringing tears to the eyes of fans.
Then, let's get to the point. This week's show, with the addition of new temporary guests, has suddenly stirred up some waves in what was originally a peaceful day.
The sudden addition of another person to a couple's world wasn't so hard to accept; everyone handled their role well.
During the show, the entanglement between Mingyue and Chengqing inevitably came up. Watching Chengqing decisively cut the Gordian knot and leave the small shop with Luoxi under an umbrella, stepping into the ink-painting-like world, the fans' emotions fluctuated, but they all wished the two of them well.
That very night, Mingyue became a trending topic for being a "white lotus," which angered her so much that her manager called and scolded her again.
Fortunately, Cheng Qing didn't seem to want to cause any trouble, and her agent found someone to suppress the trending topics, so they didn't suffer any other attacks.
However, Mingyue's career path was indeed significantly affected.
The highest-rated segment of this episode was undoubtedly Cheng Qing and Luo Xi's first on-screen kiss. The show had barely aired when it was already trending on social media.
Although many people have already watched what they were supposed to watch during the live stream, there are still many who don't watch live streams. After all, it's impossible for anyone to watch a live stream for 8 hours a day! It's only the fans' love for their idols that makes them find fun in their otherwise boring lives.
With 10 guests, there were so many wonderful moments recorded in a week that only a limited number could be shown in a two-hour episode. But the director made sure to include everything that was supposed to be shown.
The program ended on a fresh morning, with lush greenery on the horizon and bright sunshine.
In this tranquil countryside, the guests, just as they arrived with their luggage when the show started, left with the same luggage they had brought. They walked along the country lanes, waving goodbye.
The camera only captured the increasingly smaller silhouettes of each guest as they walked through the picturesque countryside, seemingly small yet vast.
Perhaps some of them have to rush to new announcements, or perhaps some of them need to go back and rest for a year or two.
But in such a poignant scene of parting, it's hard not to feel a sense of reluctance among viewers.
For three months, they lived together, laughed and argued together, and their fans accompanied them from afar.
This period of time is not only a memory for the guests, but also for the viewers in front of the television.
Although I knew the show couldn't last forever, I still felt reluctant to leave when it was time to go.
All good things must come to an end, but it is extremely difficult for these people to get together again like this.
Therefore, a new trending topic quickly appeared on Weibo, titled "Goodbye, Best Partner".
I will never forget the joy you brought me.
I really hope you can get together again.
[It's probably difficult; they already rescheduled for the show. It's unlikely that everyone can clear their schedules together like this.]
[Yes! Besides, I'm afraid President Li won't be participating much more, and neither will Brother Liu; he's making an exception this time.]
In moments of relief, the princess and Teacher Cheng walked that final path hand in hand.
For this reason alone, whether you're telling the truth or not, I support you.
They went to another city afterwards, so it can only be true.
Although the two have separated, the promise remains that they are real.
Although, before it was made public, everything was just speculation.
But, not only did they go to the same city after the show ended, they even hugged in a supermarket—that's not true...
Then let the world end!

Cheng Qing and Luo Xi cherished their time together and didn't pay attention to anything online. Even though Fang Silei was extremely busy, she still didn't want to disturb them.
Even so, the holiday was over, and Losi had to return to her normal life. With nothing else to do, Cheng Qing naturally bought a plane ticket to go with Losi, just as they had agreed.
This was Cheng Qing's first time working as an assistant, especially a celebrity's assistant. She knew almost nothing about the job.
Of course, Fang Silei didn't expect Cheng Qing to be of any help; she simply hoped Cheng Qing could soothe Luo Xi's temper. If that could be done, it would be a huge help.
Losy's new job is an interview-style variety show, followed by a commercial shoot, and then a cameo appearance by a film crew...
Overall, Losi's schedule is indeed very full.
Cheng Qing knew nothing about any of this; she only glanced at it and realized that the work schedule was booked until the end of the year. Fortunately, Losi's status meant she didn't have much work during the New Year; she already had a week of vacation booked.
Because "Aces Go Places" had just ended a week ago, and the two had not yet made their relationship public, there were many fans waiting for Rossi as soon as she got off the plane.
Fang Silei meant that Cheng Qing should not go out together. Putting aside the fans' feelings, even if the promise of eternity is indeed a large one, if it is to be made public, it should be done slowly.
Cheng Qing had no objections. She personally believed that the large number of people at the airport posed a safety hazard. Her appearance with Losi would indeed increase the disturbance. Although she didn't consider herself a celebrity, she knew that the combined power of the two of them was considerable.
Therefore, she wore a mask and waited until the fans left with Losi and the others before sneaking out of the exit.
Fang Silei had already sent a car to wait there. As soon as Cheng Qing came out, he got into the car and left.
The interview in Shashi didn't take long; Cheng Qing treated it as a trip.
Fang Silei also arranged for the two of them to stay in a luxury hotel room, which was larger than Cheng Qing's rented room in Fanhe City.
After checking in, Cheng Qing and Luo Xi quickly tidied up and prepared to rest.
Because they had to work the next day, the two simply slept. Then, the next day, before dawn, Cheng Qing was woken up by her phone next to her bed.
Cheng Qing stared at the ceiling for a while before getting up to check her phone. Fang Silei made a phone call and left seven or eight text messages.
Fang Silei: Wake up Luo Xi at 6:30. Her assistant will be waiting for her at the door.
Cheng Qing: "..." What?
I looked up at the time again; it was exactly 6:30.
Cheng Qing turned around and glanced at Luo Xi beside her. Sleeping under a quilt in late autumn is very comfortable.
Losi snuggled closer to the soft blanket, her face showing a contented sleeping expression.
Cheng Qing: "..."
It seems they have gone through a difficult arousal process.
Cheng Qing put her phone aside, lowered her head, and kissed him.
Losi: "..."
Waking up with a kiss, Losi opened her big, sleepy eyes and blinked at Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing smiled brightly: "Good morning."
Losi glanced again at the sky outside the window, which was still faintly dark...
Cheng Qing chuckled and pulled her up, gently nibbling her neck.
