Ignoring the unhappy Mu Xue, Luo Xi blushed and smiled when Cheng Qing praised her, saying, "You have a sweet tongue."
These words made it impossible for Cheng Qing not to overthink.
As he got into the car past Losi, he leaned close to her ear and asked, "What's your conclusion after you've tried it?"
After saying that, she chuckled and got into the car. Luo Xi stood outside the car, her face even redder, her gaze towards Cheng Qing a mixture of accusation and disdain.
She felt as if Cheng Qing had teased her, but had no one to say anything. So, she snorted and prepared to get in the car.
I don't know what came over her, but her eyes suddenly fell on the nanny van in the neighboring yard. Sure enough, Mingyue was also getting into the car.
She was wearing a white dress, her long, straight black hair falling naturally. Seemingly noticing Rossi's gaze, she turned her head and smiled calmly.
Luo Xi glanced at her, suddenly feeling displeased. She coldly looked away, didn't smile back, and got into the car, disappearing from Ming Yue's sight.
Mingyue was stunned and felt extremely embarrassed. However, given Luo Xi's status and position, even if she put on airs, as a senior figure in the industry, Mingyue couldn't even bring herself to give Luo Xi a hard time.
The thought of being wronged but having nowhere to seek justice filled her with both desolation and shame.
Mingyue got into the car feeling frustrated, but couldn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Losi was fixing her hair after getting into the car.
Cheng Qing sat opposite her and, seeing her like this, asked, "Do you need my help?"
Lossie thought about Cheng Qing fixing her hair last night, those long, slightly cool fingers brushing against her scalp. Just recalling it made Lossie shudder. Of course, she couldn't show such a strong tremor in front of the camera, so Lossie quickly shook her head.
Cheng Qing was a little disappointed: "...Okay!"

The car soon set off. Cangsong Town is located in a relatively remote area of Lvsen City. It is precisely because of its remote location and beautiful environment that it has become a famous ancient town.
The village they were heading to was even more remote than Cangsong Town. From Cangsong Town, it would take 25 minutes by either national highway or expressway. However, the expressway route would be smoother, so the production team chose to take it.
This area is mountainous; you can see mountains everywhere you go along the highway. Because of the mountains, there are also many tunnels; we passed through four tunnels in just 25 minutes.
When we arrived at the destination, the highway entrance was very small, and there were very few staff members.
After paying the fee, one car after another crossed the intersection, and as soon as we came out, we could see the village houses scattered on both sides.
The villagers here are not as wealthy as those in Cangsong Town; they are much poorer. The difference between the two small villages is evident in both the villagers' clothing and the houses on either side.
Cheng Qing was curious how the production team found such a remote location...
Less than 20 seconds after the car exited the highway, a male villager was seen standing by the roadside.
Kong Mingyan's lead car stopped, and the assistant director got out and said something to the man. The man then got into his own car and went to lead the way.
Cheng Qing simply stared blankly out the window. Many of the houses here were still old and dilapidated. Occasionally, one or two small villas were considered to belong to well-off families in the area.
As we passed by the man's house, we saw some villagers gathered there. They had obviously heard that a film crew was coming, so when they saw the row of shabby cars, they started to peek and look.
But the car windows were reflective, so people could only look out from the inside, and the villagers never saw the big star on TV. As the car drove past them, Luo Xi and Mu Xue could see the disappointment on the villagers' faces.
After driving for about 5 more minutes, we finally turned onto a small road. The road was only wide enough for one car, and the weeds on both sides were as tall as a person. The cement road led from the edge of the fields to the edge of the mountain, and it took about 10 minutes to drive along it.
Lossie felt a little creeped out and couldn't help but say, "If this weren't a TV show being filmed, I would have thought I was going to be sold." The road was too remote and the atmosphere wasn't very good.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qing found it amusing, looked at her seriously, and then couldn't help but remark, "That must be quite valuable."
Losi choked, glaring at her: "What did you say!"
Cheng Qing was just speaking offhand, and when she saw Cheng Qing glaring at her, she quickly explained, "I was just saying you're pretty."
Luo Xi chuckled, her charming eyes filled with both amusement and satisfaction. She glanced at Cheng Qing with a mixture of reluctance and delight, then turned her head haughtily to look out the window. Seeing her like this, Cheng Qing couldn't help but smile as well.
The car quickly arrived at the man's farm, where the gate was simply sealed off with sheet metal. Therefore, upon arrival, the man had to get out of the car and remove the sheet metal. Once a path was cleared, everyone could drive in.
Upon entering, you'll see an orchard on your left and a patch of weeds on your right.
Some of the weeds grew to 2 or 3 meters tall, which was quite a sight.
Meanwhile, several sows were running and playing in the orchard. Luo Xi and Mu Xue leaned out the window and stared at the fat sows with their mouths agape: "So this is what they look like!"
Cheng Qing asked in confusion, "Never seen it before?"
Both girls nodded in surprise: "No."
Cheng Qing glanced at the sow and said, "Then take a closer look."
The two girls even rolled down the car window to look, exclaiming in amazement, "They're so cute!"
Cheng Qing choked, "...Are you serious?"
Just then, they heard the bleating of sheep ahead, and the two girls immediately turned to look. They exclaimed with delight, "There are little lambs inside! They're so cute!"
Cheng Qing: "..."
When they reached the sheep, there was an open space. After parking their cars, they immediately saw a flock of hens and roosters not far away, especially the large rooster, which was brightly colored and looked very majestic.
Luo Xi and Mu Xue watched with great enjoyment, just like easily satisfied children.
These big stars are mostly city kids. They may not have great living conditions, but very few people have actually seen a live pig.
They couldn't help but look around at the pig in surprise, and when the live sheep came over, they all found it interesting.
Go up to the small animals and tease them; before you know it, a lot of time has passed.
Only then did Kong Mingyan call for help, and everyone had no choice but to follow Director Kong away.
Kong Mingyan led them for a while before they arrived at a reservoir.
Kong Mingyan: "This reservoir is specifically for raising fish, and you can fish from here."
There were already quite a few staff members by the reservoir, all of whom were adjusting the equipment.
Five small boats have been placed on the water, and staff are currently preparing on them.
Kong Mingyan led the guests to the boarding area, where everyone put on life jackets and began boarding. Because the boat was small, everyone had to secure their position after boarding to avoid losing their balance.
Each group of guests plus a cameraman consists of four people, with two people sitting at the bow and two at the stern of the boat.
Cheng Qing was the last group to board the ship. To stabilize the ship, Cheng Qing boarded first. Then she turned around to help Luo Xi, who held Cheng Qing's hand tightly and cried out in fear, "This ship is rocking so badly."
Cheng Qing comforted her, "It's okay, the boat is small and agile. If you really fall in, I'll jump in."
Upon hearing this, Rossi was overjoyed and gritted her teeth, jumping off the boat.
Before Cheng Qing could even freeze in shock, she cried out in alarm, "Don't jump! How can this boat withstand her reckless actions?"
But it was too late; the boat swayed left and right with the force of Losi jumping off.
Startled, Losi hugged Cheng Qing tightly around the waist and shouted, "Is it going to flip over?"
Cheng Qing choked immediately: "...No, that won't happen."
He held Losi tightly and tried to slowly regain control of the small boat using his body weight.
Only after the boat had completely stabilized did Losi burst into laughter: "Teacher Cheng, you're amazing!"
Cheng Qing gritted her teeth and looked down at her: "Does praising me now mean it never happened? Why are you jumping into such a small boat? Do you really want us to go down together and become a pair of lovebirds?"
Losy looked up at Cheng Qing with her sparkling eyes and said confidently, "That's not bad either! Isn't it?"
Cheng Qing: "...You..." Cheng Qing softened after being looked at by her sincere gaze: "That's right, as long as the two of us are together, let's be like mandarin ducks!"

Chapter 108
[Aaaaaaah, I want to complain, but let me scream first.]
[Haha, Professor Cheng, do you have any principles at all?]
Is this a real-life version of "You jump, I jump"?
[The princess trusts her teacher too much! She jumped right away, hahaha (rules v rulers)]
All I can say is, great shot.
Mu Xue squatted on the wooden dock built by the villagers, watching the two women below who had been particularly affectionate these past two days. When she heard Cheng Qing say "Mandarin ducks it is," she immediately replied with a blank face, "If that's how you put it, I dare not get on the boat." Who wants to fall into the water with you two! Humph.
Cheng Qing released Luo Xi and helped her sit down.
Hearing Mu Xue's words, he turned to look at her and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Mu Xue: "I feel so insecure."
Hahaha, that's a very scathing satire.
Has Xiaoice finally turned the tables?
[It's mainly because Teacher Cheng and Luo Xi's affectionate display scared my Xiao Bing!]
[Hahaha, Xiaobing's disdain is extremely strong.]
After hearing Mu Xue's words, Cheng Qing didn't say anything, but simply nodded and reached out his hand to Mu Xue, smiling brightly: "So, do you need me to help you?"
Mu Xue paused, glancing shyly at the small boat that was some distance from the dock.
The small boat, which can hold four people, had no staff to help her down.
The swaying boat was above the icy water; even for someone who's a little afraid of water, jumping in required courage.
She looked up again at Cheng Qing's smiling face; Teacher Cheng's face seemed to glow in the sunlight.
...So sacred!
Mu Xue reluctantly reached out her hand and, with Cheng Qing's help, boarded the boat. Then, looking at Cheng Qing, she continued, still feeling a bit aggrieved, "Thank you."
[Hahaha, Xiaobing finally gave in.]
[Damn it, it's all Teacher Cheng's fault for using her beauty to seduce me.]
[Is this a honey trap? This is just my teacher Cheng's gentle, radiant sunshine illuminating the earth. I can't make this up anymore, more to come.]
[Haha, are you serious, upstairs?]
Looking at Mu Xue now, she looks especially like Luo Xi.
Cheng Qing found it amusing. So why did everyone say Mu Xue was Little Luo Xi? Looking at it now, isn't she just Little Luo Xi?
