Me & Villainess’s CP Exploded In The Entertainment Circle

After the fencing team won the point, their morale was boosted, dispelling the earlier losses. Luo Xi couldn’t hide her pride and looked over at Feng Qiuyi, a smug expression on her face. 

“Heh heh,” she proudly taunted.

Feng Qiuyi was annoyed and at a loss for words. He couldn’t believe the other team had won the point. Did the teacher across from him even qualify for the job?

“This is unfair!” Feng Qiuyi shouted to the director, “Is she really a fencing teacher? I suspect she’s on the volleyball team!”

Before Kong Mingyan could respond, Cheng Qing smiled and replied without hesitation, “What’s unfair about it? Fairness or unfairness is now irrelevant, and everyone should rely on their own abilities. Isn’t that what you said?”

Cheng Qing’s response caught Feng Qiuyi off guard when she turned his own words back on him, and he gritted his teeth in frustration. “Who’s scared? Bring it on!” he challenged.

After Cheng Qing joined the game, the atmosphere on the beach volleyball court became more competitive. 

The court was already small, and most players lacked experience, making it increasingly difficult to move around. 

Nevertheless, the three students on Cheng Qing’s team trusted and cooperated with her exceptionally well. She adeptly targeted the opposing team’s weaknesses, and although they managed to score some points, the fencing team gradually caught up with the dessert team.

After both teams had 24 points each, Cheng Qing scored twice in a row, propelling her team ahead by two points and ultimately winning the game. 

Kong Mingyan announced the victory of the fencing team, and everyone, including Luo Xi, was ecstatic as they shouted in celebration. 

Cheng Qing’s students ran to the net, taunting the other team, but were chased back by an angry Feng Qiuyi.

When the game ended, Cheng Qing walked over to the side of the court and collapsed onto the sand, her skin glistening in the sunlight coated with sweat. As she watched Luo Xi’s ecstatic expression, she couldn’t help but feel satisfied with the game’s outcome.

Seeing Cheng Qing sitting on the sideline, Luo Xi ran over to her, a wide grin spreading across her face.

She squatted in front of Cheng Qing, her face almost touching hers, and excitedly said, “Teacher Cheng, you’re amazing! Is there anything you can’t do?”

Cheng Qing chuckled and playfully pushed away Luo Xi’s head that was close to hers, “I don’t know much,” she said modestly, “I just happened to have played volleyball with some friends.”

But Luo Xi continued to gaze at her with admiration and said, “It’s already amazing enough that you’re good at both fencing and beach volleyball.”

Cheng Qing leaned back, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and smiled at Luo Xi, “You’re even more amazing. You can act!”

Luo Xi waved her hand dismissively and said, “That’s nothing. Many people can do it.”

Cheng Qing chuckled and shook her head, “I don’t think so. I could never do what you do, you have a talent for it.”

Luo Xi’s eyes sparkled with joy at the compliment, “Thank you, Teacher Cheng. But I still think you’re more impressive, you’re good at fencing and beach volleyball!”

Cheng Qing smiled at her flattery. Instead of responding, she returned her gaze to the sea and the blue sky in front of her. 

The boundary between them was almost indistinguishable, stretching out infinitely. The salty scent of the sea carried by the cool breeze filled the air, gently ruffling the waves on the surface of the water. 

The filming location was marked off by the director, drawing a crowd of people to watch the action. Despite this, no one dared to take out their phones to capture the moment, as instructed by the director.

After a brief rest, Cheng Qing regained her energy, and Kong Mingyan was urging everyone to go eat. 

Luo Xi stood up and stretched out her hand for Cheng Qing to take, “Let’s go, Qingqing.”

Cheng Qing fondly smiled at her and took her hand to stand up, the sea breeze lightly blowing on their clothes.

Luo Xi’s heart fluttered as she felt the warmth of Cheng Qing’s hand, and couldn’t help but giggle, feeling a deep sense of contentment being by her side.

As the number of followers on [Promise Eternity] continued to grow, Kong Mingyan couldn’t help but ask his assistant, “Can you believe it? Cheng Qing’s popularity is still on the rise after the first week. We originally agreed to record for two weeks, but I feel that it’s a bit of a shame now.” 

The assistant smiled and said, “It’s not a shame. With the current traffic of Promise Eternity, I’m sure someone will take notice of Cheng Qing soon.”

Kong Mingyan chuckled as he remembered Cheng Qing’s first arrival, “I have to admit, she left a lasting impression on me. She walked in with such grace and elegance, her presence was so calming.”

The assistant nodded in agreement, “Yes, but that kind of person is not always suited for the entertainment industry.”

Kong Mingyan laughed and admitted, “I’ve made wrong judgments before. People who clearly aren’t suited for the industry somehow thrive!” He then leaned forward and whispered excitedly, “Actually, Luo Xi’s agent contacted me yesterday.”

The assistant also leaned forward in her seat, curious, “Really?! What did they say?”

Kong Mingyan slyly grinned, “She wants to take another look and is planning to meet with Cheng Qing personally.”

Cheng Qing gazed out of the car window, only half-listening to Liu Suoyu as he chattered on about the morning’s events.

Apparently, it was a straightforward day on set, and in the morning Cheng Qing was absent, the director only planned to film some competitions between the celebrities.

Since they had already chosen their own teachers, they no longer formed teams and directly named themselves as the dessert team, fencing team, and racing team as they participated in various games and competitions.

Unfortunately, the fencing team was the only team with one male member, so they often found themselves at a disadvantage and struggled to keep up with the others.

In one of the games, Luo Xi showed an unrelenting determination to win and resorted to using her head to play football. Despite being teased by her opponents, she refused to give up.

Cheng Qing couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard about Luo Xi’s antics and turned to look at Luo Xi who was shouting at Liu Suoyu with a flushed face.

“What are you talking about? I had to use my head because I didn’t have time to use my feet. It’s all because you didn’t stop the ball from going into the goal!” Luo Xi said defensively.

Liu Suoyu quickly admitted his mistake and raised both his hands in surrender, “Sorry! it was my bad.”

Cheng Qing chuckled at the exchange and shook her head, “Since it’s just a game, why take it so seriously?”

Luo Xi was resolute and turned to look at Cheng Qing, “Even in a game, you can’t give up easily.”

Cheng Qing’s smile faded a bit. It was precisely because of this stubbornness that Luo Xi had suffered too many setbacks. But this was her personality, how could Cheng Qing force her to change it?

Luo Xi noticed the change in Cheng Qing’s expression and became nervous, “What’s wrong?”

Cheng Qing paused for a moment before regaining her composure and smiled, “I was just thinking about something. But, is your head okay? Do you have a headache?”

Luo Xi shook her head, about to say that she didn’t have a headache when she suddenly felt something being placed in her hand. 

She was momentarily surprised and looked at what was given to her. 

It was toffee.

However, before she could react, Cheng Qing lightly flicked her forehead with a finger. 

Though Cheng Qing’s strength was mild, it still stung, and Luo Xi immediately reached up to rub the spot where she was hit, staring at Cheng Qing with wide eyes.

Cheng Qing spoke calmly, “See? It hurts, right? Don’t put yourself in pain to win a small game.”

Feeling wronged, Luo Xi retorted, “Of course, it hurts! I’m angry!”

Cheng Qing was taken aback. “…Did the toffee not work?”

Sure enough, Luo Xi was angry and said, “No, it didn’t work!”

After a moment of contemplation, Cheng Qing apologetically said, “Well then, you can give me a flick too.”

Cheng Qing leaned in closer, and Luo Xi was hit with the sweet scent of shampoo coming from her hair. 

Lost in thought, she couldn’t tell if it was the brand or if it was because Cheng Qing used it, but the scent was always pleasant to her.

As Cheng Qing sat there for a moment without feeling a flick on her forehead, she opened her bright obsidian eyes and caught Luo Xi staring.

Cheng Qing’s mouth formed a playful curve as she flashed a smile, “Mmm…Since you don’t want to flick me, I’ll take this as you’ve forgiven me.”

A wave of heat rushed to Luo Xi’s face, and she pushed Cheng Qing away abruptly, “How despicable!”

Cheng Qing was always unprepared for her sudden mood changes and was pushed into the car door. 

She gritted her teeth through the pain and wanted to ask, what did I do that was despicable, but all that came out of her mouth was, “Are you calm now?”

Luo Xi reluctantly nodded, saying, “Fine, I’m over it.” as she crossed her arms.

And with that, the matter was settled.

Liu Suoyu had seen the whole exchange and was dumbfounded: ‘Should I say something?’

Lin Shandie, on the other hand, watched everything through the reflection in the car window and thought with a smile, ‘Only Teacher Cheng can handle Luo Xi’s stubbornness.’

Perhaps it was because of Cheng Qing’s presence that Luo Xi, who once was very annoying, now seemed very cute.
