Cheng Qing didn't dare to take that step, but things are different now. Same-sex marriage is legal, and it's not so hard to say things like "a love that lasts a lifetime".
Fang Silei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Cheng Qing's firm statement. Although Luo Xi was currently at the peak of her career, it would be a real pity to give up the entertainment industry to get married. But with Cheng Qing's words, Luo Xi would surely be at ease and willing to focus on developing her career.
but……
After Fang Silei relaxed, she couldn't help but tease Cheng Qing: "No matter what, you should go find a pornographic book to read first!"
Cheng Qing choked, took the phone away from her ear, glared at it fiercely, and then hung up.
Is this something a human would say? Who is born knowing everything? Doesn't everyone need to learn?
After thinking for a moment, he then called Cheng Rong instead.
Cheng Rong answered the phone and said happily, "I was going to call you at first, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Cheng Qing was taken aback: "You want to see me about something?"
Cheng Rong: "Yes, I heard you talk about your amnesia yesterday, and I also learned the general outline of what happened from my brother..."
The sound gradually faded, and Cheng Rong was also saddened.
Perhaps not wanting to put Cheng Qing in a difficult position, she laughed heartily again: "You're so unlucky. I heard that the probability of amnesia is extremely low."
Cheng Qing: "..."
Cheng Rong: "But since you've lost your memory, and I saw that Mingyue is there too, I was worried she might do something reckless. So last night I arranged for a courier to send you the diary, and it arrived this afternoon."
Unexpectedly, it was about the diary. Cheng Qing stood there stunned for a while before lowering her eyes and smiling faintly, saying, "Thank you."
Cheng Rong: "No need to thank me, it's nothing. Besides, I saw you say something during your live stream just now, which means you really want to marry this Luo Xi?"
Cheng Qing smiled and said, "As long as the proposal is successful..." Seeing that she had been tricked into talking again, Cheng Qing changed the subject: "But speaking of which, you don't go to school all day long, you just watch my live broadcasts every day."
Cheng Rong retorted, "It's not every day, and besides, this time of day is lunch break."
Cheng Qing chuckled; he had only said it casually to change the subject of the proposal. Seeing that Cheng Rong was genuinely anxious, he reassured her, "Oh, then you should study hard!"
Cheng Rong was so angry that she didn't respond.
Cheng Qing then remembered something and said, "If you encounter any difficulties at school, feel free to contact me anytime. Do you have enough living expenses?"
Cheng Rong scoffed, "You've really struck it rich. You used to be much poorer than me."
Cheng Qing: "..."
Cheng Rong didn't bother to continue and hung up the phone. But she quickly sent Cheng Qing a website address and instructed Tianfu: "Watch it secretly."
Cheng Qing immediately understood what the website address was, but what surprised her even more was: Why do you have it? Do you usually look at it?
Cheng Rong: ………………I'm an adult now →_→
Cheng Qing ignored the oath and said, "Watch less of that; I've heard it's bad for your health."
Cheng Rong: ………………Ahhhhh, get lost! Don't send me any more messages!!!
Cheng Qing found it amusing and, as expected, didn't reply.
When they returned, the live stream interaction was almost over. The CP fans were indeed powerful, asking a lot of questions, which almost overwhelmed Luo Xi.
Upon seeing Cheng Qing return, Eternal Promise became excited again: "T-T-Teacher, when are you going to propose?!"
Cheng Qing smiled faintly: "Such a pleasant surprise, let's not reveal it."
Losi blushed again...
Ahhh, Professor Cheng's answer is making me blush and my heart race!
Teacher Cheng is very direct.
If you can speak, then speak more.
Knowing that an answer to the question of an eternal promise wouldn't be easy to get, he didn't dwell on it and continued, "So, did you confess your feelings to the princess?"
Cheng Qing didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why don't you come over here and be an observer?"
The promise of eternity was indeed shameful, and I dared not ask again.
The comments section was filled with shouts of "Teacher Cheng is awesome!"

After the live stream ended, the director sent me a task.
Today's task: Take a break on rainy days.
That's what they say, but it doesn't actually mean you have to rest. It does mean the guests have to stay home, just like the card says: In the old days, farmers could stay home and rest on rainy days, which were rare days for them to sleep in.
Listening to the pattering rain outside the window, do you want to make yourself some snacks and have a drink? Take a walk in the rain with your good friends and take a couple of beautiful photos with umbrellas?
That's all the information on the card; it doesn't explicitly state the task.
Looking at the card, Cheng Qing knew that, according to the usual pattern, this wasn't a question; it was simply a task being issued in a sentimental way.
Cooking, drinking, and taking photos.
After putting the cards away, Cheng Qing asked the two of them, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Mu Xue said, "A meal with a little wine would have to be spicy crayfish."
Losi rubbed her stomach, licked her lips, and asked, "Qingqing, can you make desserts?"
Cheng Qing nodded, and Luo Xi smiled and scratched her head, saying in a slightly silly tone, "I want to eat it. I love eating desserts at the door and watching the rain on rainy days."
Mu Xue looked at her in shock, completely bewildered: "What about Xiao Jiu? Who the hell eats cake with beer?"
Cheng Qing said, "I'll mix some fruit wine."
Mu Xue looked at Cheng Qing in shock again: "You can do this too?"
Cheng Qing pointed to the bottles on the display shelf in the living room and said, "There are pre-mixed ones on it. I'll put some soda and fruit in it, and it'll go perfectly with dessert."
Mu Xue clutched her chest and took a step back, sitting down in a chair at the dining table: "Then why did you ask me just now?" You asked me, but then you didn't accept my answer!
Cheng Qing choked for a moment, then said to her, "Is it...maybe it's just your imagination?"
Mu Xue: "..."
[Oh my god, hahaha, that's too much, Teacher Cheng!]
【Xiao Bing, stand up straight and kick over that cake.】
Mu Xue stood up and looked at Cheng Qing expectantly. She imitated Luo Xi's coquettish manner and blinked her big eyes, saying, "But I want to eat crayfish."
Cheng Qing looked at her in an awkward way, and Mu Xue was already prepared. If she refused again, she would definitely get up and yell at her.
Cheng Qing said, "...The key is, there are no crayfish here!"
Mu Xue choked back a sore throat, almost wanting to slap herself.
In the end, she decided to make some desserts and mix some fruit wine. Cheng Qing went to the display cabinet in the living room to get the wine. She had found a note there yesterday when she was cleaning, saying that the wine in the cabinet could be taken freely.
Cheng Qing immediately thought they were a really warm and hospitable family.
However, she felt embarrassed to take all the fruit wine that someone had worked so hard to make, so she only poured about half of it into the glass jar, then sealed it back in its original packaging and put it back.
Cheng Qing found a lot of ingredients needed for making desserts in the cabinet, and even some cream that she had bought before in the refrigerator.
Mu Xue squatted down to the side and asked her, "Why are there these things?"
Cheng Qing: "Once, we had a picnic and we didn't have everything we needed. So, we bought dessert ingredients specifically so we could use them later."
Mu Xue said "oh," and then asked, "Isn't this kind of foresight a waste of points?"
Cheng Qing found it amusing, glanced at her, and asked, "So, have I used it yet?"
Mu Xue: "...It came in handy."
Cheng Qing: "Then is it still considered a waste?"
Mu Xue: "...That doesn't count."
Cheng Qing smiled at her and took the ingredients to the kitchen.
Mu Xue spat and said, "Damn it."
***
Lossie was already waiting in the kitchen, wearing an apron and beaming with smiles.
What kind of pastries are you making?
Cheng Qing hummed in agreement: "That depends on what you want to eat."
Losy chuckled and said, "I want to eat cream puffs."
Cheng Qing: "Okay."
Losi was very impressed: "I've always thought, Professor Cheng, you're amazing, you can do everything."
Cheng Qing paused, holding her phone, then remained silent for a moment before replying, "I don't know how."
Losi blinked her big eyes at her, and Cheng Qing sighed, reached out and patted her head, saying, "But I'll learn."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Qing opened a tutorial on cream puffs on her phone and began making her first cream puff.
I'll learn how to make it if you want to eat it.
Author's Note:
I'm going a little earlier than usual (＾－＾)V, goodnight!
Chapter 115
Lossie stood to the side watching Cheng Qing diligently search for tutorials online.
Because we had plenty of time, we didn't search for complicated cream puff recipes. Plus, Cheng Qing was a beginner, and we didn't have enough ingredients, so we found a simplified cream puff recipe—everything we needed happened to have on hand.
Cheng Qing placed her phone on the counter and began preparing the ingredients. With nothing else to do, Luo Xi moved a chair to the dining table and watched Cheng Qing work.
The comments section wasn't as lively as it had been at the beginning; everyone was watching intently. Cheng Qing was very serious when she did things, her expression always grave. Her pursed lips gave her a sense of aloofness.
Following the instructions, first pour the sugar, butter, and cold water into a hot pot in the correct proportions, and stir thoroughly until combined. Then, pour in a bowl of low-gluten flour and continue stirring until it forms a dough.
Then turn off the heat and let it cool. Next, pour in the egg mixture in three batches, stirring until it becomes a thin paste.
