But none of this affected the guests. After breakfast, before anyone else could speak, the Shen brothers quickly packed their things and went into the kitchen.
Seeing this, the others tacitly approved of their actions and did not try to grab anything.
Tang Xue tugged at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeve and went back to the room to change Lin Xiaoxiao's dressing.
As soon as she entered the room, her phone rang. After glancing at the screen, Tang Xue turned off the microphone on her collar and also turned off the microphone on Lin Xiaoxiao's collar.
She pointed to her phone, "It's Sister Bai's call."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and didn't disturb her. Logically speaking, Bai Bing should already know that she was with Tang Xue.
But Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't received a call from Bai Bing in the past two days, which puzzled her.
Bai Bing was very concerned about her relationship with Tang Xue, but now that the two of them have confirmed their relationship, Bai Bing hasn't made a move at all.
"Xiaoxiao, Sister Bai wants to talk to you." Tang Xue handed the phone to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Hearing Tang Xue's voice, Lin Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. After a moment of surprise, she reached out and took the phone from Tang Xue's hand.
"Sister Bingbing!"
"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, I'm going to pick up Tang Xue for a few days. Her drama is going to start promotions, and as the female lead, she'll naturally have to participate in the promotions."
You and Tang Xue have now confirmed your relationship. I know your relationship is very sweet right now, and I also know that you are injured and need someone to take care of you.
But there's nothing I can do about this. When you need to change your medication, just ask one of the other guests to do it for you. Anyway, you and Tang Xue have already established a relationship, so you'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future.
"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. Tell Tang Xue to pack her things. I've sent her assistant to pick her up; they should be almost there by now."
After saying these words, Bai Bing immediately hung up the phone, not giving Lin Xiaoxiao a chance to speak at all.
The reason she hadn't called Lin Xiaoxiao these past few days was because she was going to pick up Tang Xue to promote her new movie.
Otherwise, after learning that Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao had confirmed their relationship, she would definitely have been the first to call them.
Tang Xue would go out to promote the new drama during filming, which was written into her contract with the production team. However, she did not mention this to Tang Xue and Lin Xiao.
The reason they didn't say anything was that they wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to focus on developing her relationship with Tang Xue. The reason they didn't say anything later was because Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao had already established a relationship.
The two were deeply in love at that time, and if she were to reveal this matter, it would be a rather spoilsport.
Regardless of the circumstances, what she told Lin Xiao was that this was an opportunity to help her and Tang Xue develop their relationship, but she called everyone away halfway through. No matter how you look at it, this is all her fault.
Hearing the busy tone from the other end of the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao looked a little confused. She had only called out "Sister Bingbing" and Bai Bing had bombarded her with a string of words.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't find a chance to speak until Bai Bing hung up the phone.
But Lin Xiaoxiao finally understood why Bai Bing hadn't called her before; it turned out that Bai Bing was going to pick up Tang Xue soon.
Lin Xiaoxiao had an urge to wipe her face, mainly because Bai Bing's incessant chatter made her feel like the other person was spitting all over her face.
With a sigh, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Tang Xue beside her. "Sister Bingbing said that you will be going with the crew to promote the new movie, and Li Yu will come to pick you up."
"Mm." Tang Xue nodded. Bai Bing had already told her all this. She stepped forward, touched Lin Xiaoxiao's face, her eyes full of reluctance.
Before they were officially in a relationship, she was able to restrain herself and not be so possessive of Lin Xiaoxiao.
But after they confirmed their relationship, she really wanted to be with Lin Xiaoxiao all the time. "Sister Bai just said that I'm leaving soon."
"Hmm." Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, looking somewhat listless. Although she wasn't an unreasonable person, she really couldn't bear to part with Tang Xue.
If she could, Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to stick to Tang Xue's side forever; she even wanted to become Tang Xue's leg accessory.
But she also knew that now was not the time to be willful. This was Tang Xue's job, and what she needed to do was not to hold Tang Xue back.
"Don't worry about me, just go and do your work. I'll take good care of myself. I'll find someone else to help with changing the dressing. As for taking a bath..."
Lin Xiao blushed when she got to this part of the story. Ever since they slept together and realized their feelings for each other.
Every night when it was time to take a shower, Tang Xue would use her injured arm as an excuse to take over the task of bathing her.
The more Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it, the redder her face became. Every night when she took a bath, it was a time of great torment for her, because something unavoidable would always happen at that time.
"Wait for me to come back." Tang Xue's voice was a little low. She pressed her forehead against Lin Xiaoxiao's, her voice hoarse. "I'll help you wash when I get back."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but burst out laughing. She poked Tang Xue's shoulder with a finger, "If I had waited for you to come back before taking a shower, I would have already searched you."
"Xiaoxiao..." Tang Xue's voice carried a hint of grievance and self-blame, "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing again?" Lin Xiaoxiao said helplessly. She looked up at Tang Xue and said seriously, "I could have taken a shower by myself."
As she said this, she lowered her head, a blush creeping onto her face. "I only injured one arm, not both. A little rinsing should be fine."
Don't worry, I'll take precautions and won't let my injured arm get wet.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiaoxiao suppressed her shyness, looked up at Tang Xue, cupped her face, and kissed her lips. "Don't worry about me. I'm not a child anymore. I'll take good care of myself."
Take good care of yourself out there. I'll be waiting for you to come back.
Lin Xiaoxiao was well aware that Tang Xue's trip to promote the new drama with the crew would definitely not be over in just a few days.
But once Tang Xue's new drama finishes its promotion, they can at least spend some more time together in this place.
Tang Xue reached out and cupped Lin Xiaoxiao's face, sucking on Lin Xiaoxiao's lips, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoxiao's short kiss.
Tang Xue reluctantly let go of Lin Xiaoxiao only after noticing that Lin Xiaoxiao was having some difficulty breathing.
Looking at the girl leaning against her, slightly out of breath, with her dazed eyes, flushed cheeks, and gently rising and falling chest, Tang Xue felt an impulse roaring in her chest.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge, hugged the person in her arms tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Silly girl, why can't you still learn to breathe properly?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but hugged Tang Xue's waist tightly and snuggled closer to her. In the time before Li Yu arrived, she wanted to make the most of her time with Tang Xue.

Chapter 124
===================
Tang Xue's departure from the show was naturally impossible to keep secret, and the guests were somewhat puzzled when they saw Li Yu.
After all, their show lost Shen Mo and gained Li Siyao, so they weren't short of people at all. Therefore, they were really puzzled by Li Yu's arrival.
"Hello everyone, I'm Teacher Tang's assistant. I'm here to pick her up." Li Yu greeted them but didn't reveal much.
However, Li Yu's words puzzled the guests, as they had never heard of Tang Xue's intention to withdraw before.
While the group was still wondering, Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao had already come downstairs with their things.
"Is Teacher Tang leaving?" Shen Yang was a straightforward person, and now that he saw Tang Xue, he asked his question directly.
"I have some things to take care of and need to leave for a few days," Tang Xue said without offering much further explanation.
"From what Teacher Tang is saying, will you come back after you finish your business?" Xiao Yu subconsciously added.
For someone who is always thinking about shipping couples, Xiao Yu is naturally more concerned about whether Tang Xue will come back after leaving.
"I'll be back after I finish my business." Tang Xue smiled. "I hope you can all take good care of Xiaoxiao while I'm gone."
After she left, the person she worried about the most was Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself. You, on the other hand, need to take good care of yourself too."
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed. Although she had said these words countless times before in the room.
However, just as Tang Xue was worried about her, she was also worried about Tang Xue.
"I know, so don't worry about me." Tang Xue softened her expression and held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand tightly. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in the living room, she would have liked to hug Lin Xiaoxiao and give her a good kiss.
"Don't worry, Teacher Tang, we will take good care of President Lin." Shen Yang patted his chest, his face showing complete trust in entrusting the matter to him.
"Teacher Tang, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Mr. Lin about changing the dressing." Xiao Yu naturally knew that what Tang Xue was most worried about was Lin Xiaoxiao's injury.
Tang Xue looked at the group and bowed deeply to them. She wanted them to help take care of Li Xiaoxiao, so she naturally had to show her sincerity.
Regardless, even though they had been together for some time, she couldn't simply demand that the other person do such a thing.
Besides, if others are willing to take care of Lin Xiaoxiao, that's their kindness; if they aren't, she naturally can't say much.
Most importantly, since it was her request, she should naturally adopt a humble attitude.
"Alright, alright, don't worry. We know how much you cherish Xiaolin. We will definitely take good care of her. Except for things that can't be entrusted to others, I promise to take good care of her."
Lin Xin also found herself teasing the two of them, and seeing Tang Xue blush because of her words, Lin Xin's smile deepened.
"Alright, I'm not a child anymore. If I can't do something myself, I'll definitely ask someone for help. It's getting late, you should hurry up and set off."
Lin Xiaoxiao also felt a little embarrassed. Although her relationship with Tang Xue was no secret, it was still a bit uncomfortable to have it said so bluntly.
Tang Xue was pushed by Lin Xiaoxiao to walk a few steps toward Li Yu. Her face showed a hint of helplessness, but more than that, she was reluctant to part with this person.
"Little..."
"I know, I'll wait for you obediently." Lin Xiaoxiao squeezed Tang Xue's hand and looked into her eyes. "When you have time, remember to contact me."
"Okay." Tang Xue smiled gently. In the end, she couldn't resist and put her arms around Lin Xiaoxiao's waist, pulling her into her embrace.
"I will contact you, but you don't need to wait for my message. Don't stay up late at night, and remember to go to bed early."
She was genuinely afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would suffer from insomnia again after she left.
"Don't worry, I'll be good and won't make you worry." Even if she really had trouble sleeping at night after Tang Xue left, she would never say this out loud; she didn't want Tang Xue to worry.
However, they had been sleeping together for the past few days, and the bedding in the room still smelled of Tang Xue. Before this, she had even exchanged pajamas with Tang Xue.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao's face became a little hot, but fortunately, her face was buried in Tang Xue's arms, so no one else could see it.
"Remember to call me if anything happens." Tang Xue sighed softly, reluctantly letting go of Lin Xiaoxiao.
Although she knew that she would be able to see Lin Xiaoxiao again after work was over.
But the reluctance is the reluctance, and this reluctance will not be diminished in the slightest by the prospect of seeing each other again.
"I will." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded seriously.
Tang Xue touched Lin Xiaoxiao's face and, to the other's surprise, kissed her forehead.
