CH 14

Despite being only three hours long, the live broadcast was suddenly shut down and Truth or Dare ended with this kiss.

The comments still had something to say, but they seemed to be satisfied with everything.

The celebrities breathed a sigh of relief. 

With Liu Suoyu taking the lead in such a daring game, the rest may not be as simple. Fortunately, Kong Mingyan didn’t seem to want to continue and the show abruptly ended.

Cheng Qing sighed with relief as well, she hadn’t expected this game to become so ridiculous in front of the camera.

She leaned on the table’s edge and was about to get up when she noticed Luo Xi was still kneeling beside her. Everyone stood up but she remained seated, looking ahead as if in a trance.

Isn’t this bad?

Bending down, Cheng Qing reached out and tugged on her sleeve to whisper her name, “Luo Xi.”

Luo Xi backed away in surprise and retracted her grasped hand. She stood up and walked away, not looking back at Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing’s hand was empty, and her heart felt cold, but she quickly recovered. She understood that Luo Xi was a needy person, that was why she did her best to provide Luo Xi with gentleness, kindness, and safety when she arrived in the program.

In fact, Cheng Qing didn’t blame her for being upset about the kiss. She smiled ruefully as she just stood there, looking back at the woman who had walked away. 

She wasn’t offended by her actions because, despite Luo Xi’s desire to refuse, the director and the others didn’t say anything.

However, when Luo Xi refused in the novel, she was blackmailed for the rest of her life by the entire internet. No matter how dedicated Luo Xi was in the future, this incident would be brought up.

Cheng Qing felt that it wasn’t worth the trouble.

As a result of being asked to kiss others, the novel’s proud character who smashed the bamboo stick and stormed out was unexpectedly kissed by her.

She’s probably really angry! I’m not sure how long she’ll need to calm down. Cheng Qing was a little distressed as she thought, raising her hand to her chin.

Can a toffee fix it?

***

Luo Xi hurried to the bathroom alone since it was the only place on the first floor without a camera.

Once in the room, she shut the door tightly.

She looked in the mirror, raising her hand to gently brush her lips for a moment before touching the forehead that was kissed.

A delicate face gradually changed from fair to crimson as her heart thumped loudly when she thought about that sensation.

Luo Xi suddenly realized that she was really looking forward to…Cheng Qing’s kiss. 

Am I falling in love?

She never imagined she’d develop feelings for someone so quickly.

If someone had said this to Luo Xi a few years ago, she would have laughed and called the person an idiot.

To like someone should take time, the process of a relationship was long and required the dedication of both parties.

Even if everyone around her says that there’s no reason to like someone. Why are there so many infatuated people in the world if you can like someone just by working hard?

Luo Xi was unable to comprehend this, and she also couldn’t understand her feelings for Cheng Qing either.

They’ve only known each other for a few days, so it’d be too superficial to say they like each other.

But when she thought about it, she liked Cheng Qing’s smile, Cheng Qing’s voice, Cheng Qing’s eyes that smiled at her, and most of all, she liked Cheng Qing standing in front of her, saying in a protective gesture, “Don’t worry, I got it.”

If she had to say something, simply clinging to her seems to bring joy to Luo Xi’s heart.

If gentleness could conquer a city, Cheng Qing has probably built a castle in her heart by now.

She looked up at herself in the mirror, her almond eyes beaming with delight. Someone once said to her that when you fall in love with a person, the love in your eyes cannot be concealed at all. 

However, she was still unsure of her feelings. Is this considered liking someone? How does Cheng Qing feel about her? But during that kiss, I unconsciously thought of her fragrance when she moved closer and wanted to kiss her soft lips.

“Pfft!” Luo Xi couldn’t help but laugh and tilt her head as she looked in the mirror with a smirk.

She pointed to herself in the mirror as she giggled, and said, “You’re such a fool.”

***

Kong Mingyan and the crew were packing their belongings when they noticed Cheng Qing was alone.

Kong Mingyan turned his head to look for Luo Xi, but when he didn’t find her he asked Cheng Qing, “Where’s Luo Xi?”

Cheng Qing smiled weakly, “She’s in the bathroom, I think she’s finishing up now.”

Kong Mingyan squinted his eyes but responded naturally, “Oh~ I understand.”

After the game, the director instructed everyone to listen to their teacher and practice hard.

Since baking a cake and fencing practice can be done at the villa, there is no need to move locations, but to practice car racing, Zhou Yong and his students went to a racing track. 

Everyone practiced until the end, and since the guests participating in the final competition worked with the program, there was no need to practice so rigorously, they were just taught some basic knowledge.

Cheng Qing’s two students were having a good time in the yard, gesturing casually with their sabers while Cheng Qing squatted and dejectedly worked not too far away.

She was checking to see if the props had electricity and if there was any discrepancy, but she was a little disheartened. She couldn’t find Luo Xi to give her the toffee, so she came here instead.

While she was busy, a pair of small feet wearing white sneakers appeared in her sight.

Cheng Qing was surprised, but before she could react, she saw that the owner of the shoes had already squatted down in front of her. 

The woman who was so beautiful that she became famous in the entertainment industry for her appearance had her elbows on her knees, her chin on her hands, and a lovely smile on her face.

Cheng Qing couldn’t help but gaze at her sweet smile as she asked, “…Luo Xi? Are you still angry?”

Luo Xi was taken aback and pouted her lips, “Who told you that I was angry?”

Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and reached into her pocket for a piece of toffee, “I assumed you were upset, so I went upstairs to get you a toffee but I never found you. I thought you didn’t want to see me.”

Luo Xi slightly grinned, ‘So she came here by herself and hid out here to sort the fencing props.’ She took the toffee happily, peeled off the coating, and put it in her mouth.

Eating the toffee, she asked Cheng Qing, “Are you afraid that I will get angry?”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Qing didn’t shy away from the question and replied with a gentle grin, “That’s for sure, I like seeing you smile, you look so beautiful when you do.”

Cheng Qing had always been like this, suddenly saying something that made people blush and flutter their hearts without warning. 

Because of the kiss, Luo Xi had understood her feelings to some extent, but she still hadn’t figured it all out.

Luo Xi blushed a bright red at Cheng Qing’s compliment, “Why do you say things like this?!” She stood up and walked away, glaring at her as she did so.

Cheng Qing was dumbfounded as she sat in silence.

She blinked, then turned around and asked the two people behind her, “Did I say something bad just now?”

Liu Suoyu’s eyes were powerless as he stared at her in disbelief, “…Duh! You sweet-talked her!”

Cheng Qing lifted one of her eyebrows, “Is this not good?” She was a little puzzled.

Liu Suoyu: “…” He was utterly baffled at how dense she was. 

You also have to look at the person who said it!!! Is that what friends say to each other???
