The sound of water splashing against the bottom of the basin was loud; thankfully, the bathroom door was closed. That silly girl climbed over the balcony last night and stayed up with me until three in the morning.
She must be very tired. Cheng Qing didn't want to disturb her, so he didn't dare turn on the light when he entered the bathroom, and he closed the door early on.
As Cheng Qing thought about it, she reached out to pull the towel hanging on the side.
Her face was clean, without any foam, only covered in water droplets. She dried her face with a towel, her eyes unconsciously scanning the bathroom, but something still felt off.
The room was dimly lit and eerily quiet.
Cheng Qing suddenly froze, realizing something was wrong.
In the mirror in front of me... there is no reflection of myself.
Cheng Qing's gaze snapped back, only to see that her reflection in the mirror also wore a serious expression.
As I moved, my reflection in the mirror mirrored my movements. That brief moment seemed like an illusion.
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't sleep all night, I really lost my mind."
She hung the towel back up and left the bathroom with a serious expression. A line from the original owner's diary suddenly came to mind: "Unexpected expectations without results are the truly bone-deep pain."
She went to the bedside and saw that Losi was still fast asleep.
Cheng Qing stared for a while, then reached out and turned on the room light.
The dim room was instantly filled with blinding light, and even in her sleep, Losi still frowned uncomfortably.
Cheng Qing chuckled and leaned down, saying, "Get up quickly and go back, otherwise you might be discovered when you get back."
Losi was half asleep when she heard this. She turned around unhappily and went to sleep on the other side.
She said in a soft, sweet voice, "Just a little longer, I'm sleepy."
Cheng Qing's heart melted at the sight, and she almost couldn't resist going over to give her a good pat on the back. But for some reason, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she went over and pushed her gently: "Sweetie, go back to sleep. It's just a short walk, not far."
Luo Xi was annoyed by her provocation. She sat up, her hair disheveled, and glared at Cheng Qing with her big eyes: "What are you doing? I'm not afraid, so why are you? Humph, you heartless ingrate."
Cheng Qing: "...ungrateful wretch?"

Chapter 119
Luo Xi cursed and cursed, but seeing Cheng Qing's puzzled look, Luo Xi was furious. "Oh, so you confessed, you kissed, you hugged, and now you're not going to make it official?"
What's wrong with me leaving your bedroom in broad daylight? Am I not worthy?
Is she trying to have a secret relationship with me? Do you think I, a top-tier female star, am so cheap?
The more she thought about it, the angrier Luo Xi became. She threw the blanket down hard and glared at Cheng Qing: "Do you care?" She then got up and headed for the balcony.
Just kidding, Cheng Qing would never ask her to turn over again today if she did yesterday.
Cheng Qing was indeed arrogant enough to think that nothing would happen if he climbed over the balcony, but now that he thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat.
So he stepped forward and put his arm around her waist. Luo Xi struggled, but Cheng Qing smiled ingratiatingly, "Be good, let's go back through the door."
Lossie turned and glared at her again, saying petulantly, "What if someone sees us?"
Cheng Qing said, "It's alright, it'll be daylight, and people will see us climbing over the balcony anyway."
Not getting the answer she wanted, Losi felt a sharp pain in her chest, but she could only turn and head towards the door in a huff.
He reached for the doorknob, then turned back, a little reluctant, and asked her, "Aren't you afraid that if I go out this door and get photographed, what will you say to the director?"
Cheng Qing stood in the room and said softly with a smile, "No matter what, nothing is more important than your safety."
That's more like it!
Lossie curled her lips slightly and asked, "Actually, it's not dangerous to climb back." The two rooms were adjacent, and the balconies were close together.
Cheng Qing still disagreed: "I'm afraid you'll make a mistake."
Losi choked on her words. So, after all that talk, she was implying that Losi was stupid?
glaring at Cheng Qing, Luo Xi yanked open the door, only to find Mu Xue standing outside, dressed in pajamas, looking at her with a bewildered expression.
Mu Xue: "???"
Losi, still in her pajamas, was equally stunned: "..."
Cheng Qing, however, was the only one in the room who covered her face but remained sober, reminding Luo Xi, "Let's go back! Get some more rest."
Losi was still in her pajamas when she heard this and slammed the door shut. The sound was so loud that the whole building could hear it. Cheng Qing could only shake his head with a helpless smile.
But once the room became quiet again, Cheng Qing's smile suddenly vanished. She slowly turned her head towards the bathroom. Was that fleeting moment that morning really an illusion? Cheng Qing wasn't sure. She lifted her foot and slowly walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom was the same as usual, with the mirror on the left still in its original place.
Standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself, she moved with her own movements, and the moment that had disappeared seemed to be just an illusion.
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, hoping it was just her imagination!
***
Mu Xue looked at the closed door, pointed to Cheng Qing's room, then to Luo Xi's room, not quite understanding: "Is this...asleep?"
Lossie choked, "How could such a good thing happen?"
No, pshaw, I don't care!
Then I thought about it again, and Cheng Qing didn't even touch me all night, even though we were alone? Did he find me unattractive? Am I not attractive enough?
Seeing Luo Xi's face covered in all sorts of colors, Mu Xue asked in surprise, "How are you feeling?"
The various colors on Luo Xi's face instantly turned black as she glared at Mu Xue and said, "What kind of questions are you asking at such a young age?"
After saying that, he didn't give Mu Xue a chance to talk back and went straight back to his room.
Mu Xue was stunned by the scolding, then retorted angrily, "What the hell? You're only two years older than me! Haha, humph."
The closed door opened again, and Losi peeked out at her, saying softly, "You'll never catch up to these two years, little sister."
Mu Xue: "..." This sounds so familiar, and what's so great about it?!
***
Early in the morning, after everyone got up, Mu Xue went downstairs and found Cheng Qing with dark circles under his eyes, leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.
Because of the misunderstanding that morning, Luo Xi did not explain, and Mu Xue did not know whether it was true or not. But looking at Cheng Qing like this, she wondered if it was... true?
So, when Cheng Qing looked over, Mu Xue said with a knowing look, "You rest, I'll go buy breakfast."
Cheng Qing: "???"
Although Cheng Qing didn't understand why Mu Xue understood, he accepted her kindness.
"Thanks."
Then, Mu Xue ran out all the way, her excited appearance startling Cheng Qing.
I stayed up all night reading her diary, and I almost made her depressed.
Perhaps because Cheng Qing used the original owner's body, her diary entries still showed some bias towards the original owner, and even some empathy.
Therefore, Cheng Qing was exhausted not only physically, but also mentally.
When Lossie came down, Cheng Qing noticed that Lossie was also clearly not very energetic. But since she had taken a nap, she wasn't as tired as Cheng Qing, who had dark circles under her eyes.
Autumn rains are usually quite long, and yesterday's rain hasn't stopped yet. The yard is full of water, and as I walked through the snow and rain, my feet splashed through the water.
Because she had used points, she didn't dare buy too much. Upon arriving home, she saw the two of them looking listless, so Mu Xue immediately prepared breakfast.
The three of them sat down at the table to eat breakfast. The silly Mu Xue even lectured them in a mature tone: "Young people should take care of their health and not be too indulgent."
Yeah! Why do you look so listless?
Hahaha, it's so funny to talk like that with such a baby face.
Cheng Qing tilted her head, and although she was puzzled, she still replied, "Okay, thank you."
How could Luo Xi not know what Mu Xue was thinking? She choked for a moment, glared at Cheng Qing, and then glared at Mu Xue, her warning clearly stern.
Mu Xue: "..."
Cheng Qing: "???"
Perhaps because she hadn't slept, Cheng Qing felt her head was very heavy. She was completely bewildered by the turbulent flow between the two women, Big and Little Losi.
After breakfast, they couldn't go out because of the rain. The three of them dragged out the green plush blanket from yesterday, and sat there enjoying the rain. Mu Xue volunteered to make some snacks for everyone to try.
After spending a few days together, we got along quite well and didn't stand on ceremony.
Cheng Qing sat at the door, watching the drizzle outside. After a while, her eyelids grew heavy.
She simply lay down on the carpet, intending to only take a short nap, but unexpectedly fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
Looking at her sleeping face, Losi lay down as well, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep as well.
The comment section was silent for a moment, seeing the two of them like this. The cameraman could only carry the camera to the kitchen to watch Mu Xue make desserts, which finally livened up the quiet comment section.
When Mu Xue came out excitedly with a plate of steamed cakes and milk tea, she saw the two of them lying there asleep.
Mu Xue: "...How long have they been sleeping?"
Cameraman: "The two of them fell asleep as soon as you went in."
Mu Xue looked at the cameraman incredulously: "Then why didn't you come in and tell me?" I was still making desserts over there like an idiot.
Cameraman: "I'm just recording, just pretend I don't exist!"
Mu Xue: "..."
Since the two were asleep, Mu Xue wasn't foolish enough to go over and wake them up.
She moved the coffee table where she had placed the cream puffs yesterday and put it in front of the two of them. Then she sat down alone on the side, eating steamed cakes while watching the rain outside. Behind her, two women sleeping side by side added a touch of romance to the background.
The cameraman stood not far outside the blanket, diligently recording this tranquil moment.
The comments section was quiet from early morning because Cheng Qing seemed particularly tired today, and Luo Xi also seemed listless. With less interaction between the two, there were naturally fewer comments as well.
However, many fans of the couple started to speculate: under what circumstances could the two of them be so tired together?
