Mu Xue had completely forgotten about dumplings, but she still remembered...
"How am I supposed to learn? She does it so fast, how am I supposed to learn?" She was stunned, not even having finished kneading the dough, when she saw Cheng Qing's movements. Suddenly, she felt that buying noodles with soybean paste from outside... wouldn't that be better?
When Cheng Qing was serving three bowls of noodles with soybean paste at noon, he looked at Mu Xue and said, "You don't necessarily have to learn how to make this noodle dish for lunch."
Mu Xue asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Qing: "Anyway, I won't be able to learn it, so I'll just try to do it as a token effort."
Mu Xue was furious. She rolled up her sleeves, slammed her hand on the table, and shouted, "If that's how you put it, then I won't be polite! I'm going to learn how to make Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste)!"
Cheng Qing nodded: "Okay, you can knead the dough and make a bowl tomorrow."
hiss!!!
Mu Xue sat down in the chair blankly and began eating her noodles with a numb expression. After a while, she suddenly looked up at Cheng Qing and asked, "Did you trick me?"
Losi: "..."
Cheng Qing: "Not really."
Mu Xue: "..."
[Hahaha, Xiao Bing finally realized what was happening.]
【Damn it, Teacher Cheng, this isn't how you treat a princess! How could you treat my Xiaobing like this! Xiaobing is so cute!!!】
However, of course no one will go to see it.

After lunch, it was time for the live stream interaction with netizens again. Cheng Qing brought out the computer that had been assigned to her by the director. Ever since she received the computer on the day of the picnic, she had been using it for the interactive live stream.
In the director's words, using a mobile phone for live streaming does indeed compromise privacy when receiving messages.
Cheng Qing's expression at that moment was priceless: "..."
After the live stream started, everyone was initially very welcoming.
Welcome to the live broadcast!
My favorite moment of the day.
My work skills have improved because of this interactive live stream.
Haha, I'm now super looking forward to noon every day!
【Aaaaaaah, Teacher Cheng, look at me! You're supposed to chat with me today, right?!】
[Waaaaah, I've been chatting with you for days, haven't you seen my message yet?]
Cheng Qing glanced at the comment and explained, "Sorry! When there are too many comments, many netizens' comments will be pushed down, so you won't see them."
Seeing that many netizens were saying they had been running around without getting a chance to chat, Cheng Qing felt quite embarrassed.
I'd like to remind everyone: "Please refresh the page a few more times. I'll try my best to reply to everyone I see."
No sooner had these words been spoken than someone commented: "[Can you tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Mingyue? It doesn't seem like a normal classmate relationship to me.]"
This question was asked 20 times in a row, so it was hard to miss.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi were both stunned. Just as Cheng Qing hesitated, Mu Xue sneered, "We're recording a show, friend. We only talked about interaction, not about asking such private questions."
The person paused, then said: "Aren't all the questions you're asking private?"
Mu Xue: "Is asking 'What's your favorite color?' the same as asking 'Are you a virgin?'"
These words left Cheng Qing and Luo Xi speechless.
Mu Xue glared at them: "What are you looking at? I'm stating the facts!"
Cheng Qing choked for a moment: "...That's true." Then she smiled and said, "Actually, it's not something that can't be said."
Upon hearing this, both Mu Xue and Luo Xi were shocked and looked at Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing smiled faintly: "If everyone is curious, they can easily find out by searching. Or rather, it won't be long before some big-mouthed classmates will help me spread the word, so I won't say any more."
Immediately, everyone was puzzled.
Luo Xi also glanced at Cheng Qing with a wink, and Cheng Qing smiled and leaned close to her ear, whispering, "Ming Yue seems to have a good friend. She didn't like to get involved with me before, so no one said anything. Now she wants to get involved, and she didn't hide what happened back then, so it's bound to come out sooner or later."
Losi's gaze suddenly turned somewhat worried. If one party in a couple had once made such solemn vows of love for someone, and the fans found out, it would definitely not be a good thing.
"Give me a heads-up first, so it'll be easier to talk things out later." It's unclear whether Cheng Qing understood this principle, but her tone at this moment suggested she didn't care about such things.
Losi nodded, still smiling, "I believe you."
These words convey more than just dependence; they express a heartwarming trust.
Cheng Qing's breath hitched, and she almost leaned in for a kiss. Fortunately, she only moved forward less than 1cm before regaining her senses. She blinked, gave Luo Xi a deep, deep look, and then turned back to the camera.
The live chat was already going crazy: [Aaaaaaah, what was that next move for?!?!]
[Damn it, it's all our fault, otherwise we would have kissed.]
[CP fans, calm down! Don't make these connections. Doesn't it look like it? Yeah, it really does. _(:з」∠)_]
While CP fans enjoy themselves, most of them aren't so lucky as to receive good news from both idols.
Many couples rely on the chemistry and atmosphere between the two people, but they may not necessarily have chemistry in real life.
Moreover, the CP (couple pairing) market has indeed been quite good in recent years, with many celebrities willingly creating CP pairings with others. While these pairings are in place, there's a lot of after-sales support, but the endings are often disastrous.
Therefore, even if the promised eternal couple relationship wasn't actually cultivated and relied solely on their natural ambiguity, many relatively rational fans genuinely didn't expect to see them get married, let alone kiss in person.
Cheng Qing's sudden step closer caused even the most rational fans to scream with excitement. Not to mention the fans who already believed they were definitely having an affair; seeing Cheng Qing lean in, they were completely smitten.
[Aaaaaaah, kiss me! Force my head to kiss you!]
[Teacher Cheng, tell me quickly, do you want to kiss her?]
Cheng Qing watched the increasingly frantic questions in the live chat, but as long as they were related to Luo Xi, she wasn't so disgusted anymore, so she could still chuckle and reply, "She's so cute, who wouldn't want her?"
Immediately, the only comments left were:
【Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!】
【Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!】
【Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!】
Losi blushed and said, "Professor Cheng, you flatter me."
Cheng Qing rested his chin on one hand, gazing intently at her: "You deserve it!"
"Great, I can do it! I can do it!"
【I'm ready too, you two should just get married right now!】
Teacher Cheng successfully made the princess blush today too. (#^.^#)
After that, Cheng Qing stopped answering questions about Mingyue whenever they came up. She didn't seem to mind discussing Luo Xi's situation much either, and the live stream ended in a lively atmosphere.
Only Mu Xue's agent spoke up: "Xiao Bing only had a brief moment of brilliance at the beginning; she was just a background character after that. Tsk."
***
After the interactive live stream ended, someone sent me task cards.
The assistant director delivered it today. After Cheng Qing and the other two received it, they opened it and looked at it. They gathered all the girls together and saw that the card said "Fishing".
Cheng Qing: "Fishing?"
Lossie: "Fishing?"
Mu Xue: "Fishing?"
The three of them looked up at the assistant director, their faces filled with confusion.
The assistant director explained, "There's a large lake in the village. A villager rented a mountain, and there's a lake in the mountain where they raise fish. The director's idea is to go fishing there."
"That's fine," the group nodded and went to make the preparations.
Fishing doesn't require much physical activity, so Luo Xi and Mu Xue didn't change their clothes. Cheng Qing went to the kitchen to get some simple food and water, and then took the two princesses out.
The fishing spot was said to be in a more remote rural area than Cangsong Town, about a 25-minute drive away. When Cheng Qing brought the two of them out, the van was already parked outside.
The other members were also ready to leave. Cheng Qing glanced over there and saw Ming Yue coming out in a white dress, waiting in front of her own van.
Cheng Qing calmly withdrew his gaze, then looked at Luo Xi beside him, and reached out to vigorously rub her head.
Losi looked completely bewildered: "???"
Author's Note:
Chapter 107
Losi leaned over the window of the van to examine her head closely. Her curly hair, already curly, was now a bit frizzy from being rubbed so much.
She frowned as she looked at Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing quickly smiled and winked. A beautiful woman's smile is truly different, especially Cheng Qing's beauty, which is innate. Under the beautiful sunlight, her smile made Luo Xi's heart flutter.
Lossie: Damn it, this is definitely a honey trap. But I'll eat it.
Losi, who had fallen for the honey trap, withdrew her accusing gaze and stood in front of the car window to fix her hair, feeling frustrated.
Mu Xue looked down on her, stood to the side with her arms crossed, and sneered, "You still have a temper?"
Losi glanced at her sideways: "As a junior, you should act like one." Her temper was quite bad.
Mu Xue snapped, "Are you taking your anger out on me? I haven't offended you."
Losi's eyes remained cold and indifferent: "I don't like you."
Mu Xue: "..." She was so angry that she opened the door and got into the car.
Losi, now that the car window was closed, paused for a moment, then heard Cheng Qing behind her say, "No need to take any more pictures, it won't make you any more beautiful."
Luo Xi blushed, and Mu Xue sneered: "Glib talker, huh."
Cheng Qing: "..." This sounds familiar.
Cheng Qing suddenly understood why everyone called Mu Xue "Little Los Angeles." Now, when she looked at Mu Xue, she felt a sense of déjà vu for Little Los Angeles.
