Kong Mingyan nodded and gave Cheng Qing a thumbs up: "You're awesome!"
Cheng Qing laughed loudly: "Director Kong, we didn't even cook your share. You're the one who's freeloading off us now, so hurry up and sneak a bite."
Kong Mingyan, clutching the bowl, hid everywhere, saying, "That makes sense, that makes sense."
Kong Mingyan immediately brought out his humorous side, and everyone burst into laughter.
Only Ye Lingyun across the table felt uncomfortable. Last week, she and Zhao Baibing had cooked. Since Zhao Baibing's cooking skills were only so-so, she was in charge of dinner.
Zhao Baibing usually eats plain rice porridge with some pickled vegetables, and occasionally fries some snacks. Because of the high calories, they don't dare to eat much.
Ye Lingyun felt that she had done the hardest part of preparing lunch every day, but she never received such praise from others.
When Lossie cooked lunch, Cheng Qing helped out, but Lossie stole the show.
Ye Lingyun coughed up blood, and couldn't help feeling somewhat resentful.
But thinking about it, Losie's skills are not as good as his, and he is considered to be the best among the guests.
Sigh, the reason I lost was because I didn't have a Cheng Qing! o(╥﹏╥)o
Everyone ate happily until the end, and then the group went back to the sofa to digest.
Cooking and cleaning up are not done together. Cheng Qing and Luo Xi cooked, so it was naturally the other group's turn to clean up.
Once everyone had finished their tasks, they all started to feel drowsy again.
However, since it's work time, it's impossible to record a video of everyone sleeping. The pay isn't low, so even if they're sleepy or tired, they have to get up and play for the audience.
Kong Mingyan then began assigning tasks to everyone: "Today is a beautiful day with a gentle breeze and bright sunshine."
Feng Qiuyi sneered: "Director Kong, what are you playing at now?"
Kong Mingyan: "The autumn air is crisp and clear, and it's not hot even at midday. Let's go boating on the lake!"
Feng Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. A boat trip on the lake was alright; at least it wasn't a competition. Competitions were the most tiring, but he still couldn't help but say, "...aren't you afraid we'll fall asleep from exhaustion and fall in?"
Zhao Baibing immediately retorted, "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense."
Li Mingyao was rather curious: "Have there been fewer competitions lately? What made you decide to go boating on the lake?"
Lin Shandie smiled as she looked at the couples and said, "I feel like today's program has been like a date. Are we going to go to the movies tonight?"
Kong Mingyan slapped his thigh: "This suggestion is good, approved."
Lin Shandie: "...Let us get some rest tonight!"
Everyone burst out laughing again...
***
They said they were going on a lake trip, but it wasn't actually very far. Although there was a lake right in front of the villa, there were too few people, so it wasn't very dramatic.
They drove to Aiqing Lake, a relatively famous spot in Fanhe City. The area was packed with tourists, and when they saw a group of celebrities arrive, they naturally cheered and crowded around.
Cheng Qing followed behind a group of people and vaguely heard someone calling her name from the roadside.
Turning to look, Cheng Qing was also pretty, though not as stunning as Luo Xi.
But she has a gentle temperament, is beautiful and elegant, and just one glance from her can make people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.
Cheng Qing looked at the crowd not far away, but didn't see anyone she recognized.
As a result, this glance back triggered a burst of screams.
"Aa ...
"Aaaaaah, Teacher Cheng, look at me!"
"Teacher Cheng, I love you so much!!!"
Cheng Qing finally understood what was happening, and was completely stunned: "..."
Kong Mingyan walked behind her and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her looking stunned. It was rare to see Cheng Qing like this. He explained, "Don't worry, your episode aired the night before last, and it was quite popular."
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me! I was thinking, I don't know any of those people!"
Thinking this, she looked back again, and the crowd erupted in screams once more.
Cheng Qing: "..."
Seeing her so lost and confused, Losi took her arm and said, "Don't be afraid! I'm here."
The screams behind them grew louder and louder, even louder than when Cheng Qing turned around to look at them. Like giant waves in the sea, one wave after another rose higher and higher, stopping for a while and then rising again.
Cheng Qing tilted her head: "..." Something just felt off.
Losi: "..."
Unlike Losie, she realized it almost immediately. She knew this show loved to create on-screen couples, even before she came on the show. However, she never imagined she would be paired with anyone.
Even her agent only told her, "When you get there, just try not to cause trouble. You know, only I can tolerate your princess temper. Once you get there, control your temper and learn how to behave."
These words nearly drove Losi crazy. And it actually came true; Losi's bad temper initially annoyed the other guests and sparked several battles among fans.
The show seemed to unfold amidst both romantic pairings and intense love stories, as well as constant drama and conflict, and this format even contributed slightly to the ratings.
In Losi's opinion, forming a couple with someone else?
Stop joking. As long as we can extricate ourselves from this hair-pulling incident, everything will be fine.
But this situation seems to suggest that Cheng Qing... has successfully formed a couple, right?
Luo Xi looked up at Cheng Qing beside her, her face slightly flushed. Before Cheng Qing arrived, her agent had told her everything that had happened on Weibo. She had also been repeatedly told to be more tolerant in front of the camera, and to keep her head down even if it wasn't her fault.
However, she failed to do so and was prepared to be criticized for a period of time after the show ended.
If Cheng Qing hadn't come, would the hair-pulling have continued until the end?
If... they really did become a couple, what's the situation online now?
Is she more popular than Ye Lingyun and Li Mingyao?
Shouting like that, you must be pretty popular, right? Tsk, no wonder my damn manager hasn't been contacting me lately!
Losi's mind was wandering, and she wasn't paying any attention to the journey.
Cheng Qing saw that she was sometimes gritting her teeth and sometimes laughing heartily. When she got to the lake, she walked straight in, as if she was about to jump into the lake.
Cheng Qing: "Huh???"
Fearing that Lossie might fall if she didn't come to her senses soon, she simply reached out and pulled her back. Lossie cried out in pain as she bumped into Cheng Qing due to the inertia.
Cheng Qing was prepared; after catching her, he helped her stand upright.
Screams erupted behind him. Cheng Qing paused, turning to look at the crowd. Many young people waved and shouted, "Teacher Cheng, your boyfriend power is off the charts!!!"
"Ahhhhh, the princess is so adorable!!!"
Cheng Qing: "..." Why do I have so many fans just from casually taking a boat trip on a lake?
Luo Xi was startled by Cheng Qing's tug and frowned at her, "What are you doing? What are you doing!"
Under the warm autumn sun, Cheng Qing smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry."
Losi immediately gave in, blushing as she dropped the matter.
The autumn colors were serene, and halos of light shimmered on the lake, creating a breathtaking scene behind the two of them.
The autumn wind lifted Lossie's long hair, which landed on Cheng Qing's lips.

New novel: [After Transmigrating into a Book, I Seduce a Top-Tier Actress]
Ye Linghua transmigrated into a book with a stand-in trope.
One of the main characters, Lin Xin, is a top-tier actress in the entertainment industry. She is deeply in love with Zheng Lanwen from her rival company and is willing to marry her, becoming a substitute for her ideal woman.
When Ye Linghua transmigrated, it coincided with Zheng Lanwen's beloved returning to China, and Lin Xin divorcing him in tears.
Ye Linghua admired Lin Xin's talent and knew that Lin Xin was depressed after the divorce.
Although he eventually reconciled with Zheng Lanwen, he suffered health problems during the period following the divorce, leaving him with chronic illnesses.
Therefore, Ye Linghua decided to stay with her through this difficult period until that idiot Zheng Lanwen finally repented and came back to pick up Lin Xin.
Just by spending time with him... it seems he accidentally... stole the protagonist's wife?
***
Lin Xin loved Zheng Lanwen for 5 years
Even after marriage, he repeatedly gave up his career to prioritize her, but that man only came back when news of his return to China arrived.
Zheng Lanwen immediately filed for divorce.
Lin Xin signed the document after a wry smile.
She thought she would never love again in her life.
Until a simpleton suddenly appeared beside him.
She handed herself a tissue and said with a gentle smile, "Xin Xin, a princess shouldn't cry."
Like the bright spring sunshine, warm and comfortable.
She kept that tissue for a very, very long time.
Until Ye Linghua, that blockhead, finally realized and proposed to her.
Gentle and mild-mannered young lady vs. aloof and proud movie queen
Chapter 30
Seeing that it was almost time, Kong Mingyan asked everyone to divide into teams. There wasn't much to divide them into; it was the same as before: a dessert team, a fencing team, and a racing team.
Once the team was finalized, everyone began preparing to board the ship.
The guests and cameramen lined up to put on life jackets, and the surrounding fans finally calmed down. But they were still staring wide-eyed at them, and many were recording with their phones.
