Of course, Luo Xi was unaware of Cheng Qing’s concerns. She just felt that feeding Cheng Qing was an enjoyable task and even became addicted to pouring drinks for her.

Gazing at Cheng Qing with her bright, starry eyes, Luo Xi sweetly smiled and asked, “What else do you want to eat? Are you feeling thirsty? Is there anything you want to add? I’ll get it for you!”

Cheng Qing chuckled as she held onto Luo Xi’s restless hand, “You need to eat too, silly.”

In fact, Cheng Qing only felt a slight pain in her collarbone area when she got out of the car, but it was nothing serious after a while. She just let Luo Xi continue to be overly enthusiastic about taking care of her because she was being adorable.

Cheng Qing saw that Luo Xi still looked enthusiastic about feeding her, so she tried to dissuade her by saying, “I’m full,” but Luo Xi was unconvinced.

“You barely ate anything,” Luo Xi protested, “you can’t possibly be full, are you just being polite?”

The corner of Cheng Qing’s lips curled up mischievously, “Then, do you want me to feed you?” Her voice was low and seductive as she slowly leaned in closer to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi’s face turned red as Cheng Qing’s gentle eyes stared at her. Her breath hitched and she quickly averted her gaze, unable to respond.

Cheng Qing almost chuckled as she watched Luo Xi’s cheeks turn red. She found it adorable how easily flustered Luo Xi became and wanted to see more of it.

Cheng Qing rested her hand on top of Luo Xi’s and saw that she had become even more flustered. Her lips formed a smile as she stared at Luo Xi’s flittering eyes.

Liu Suoyu had witnessed everything and choked on his soup, coughing for a while before he could react. Lin Shandie also saw the scene and had to grab a tissue, she could feel a nosebleed coming!

Lin Shandie held the tissue to her nose as she grinned and gave a thumbs up to Cheng Qing, “Teacher, you should feed her!”

Cheng Qing: “…” These two are really just enjoying the show!

Luo Xi was too flustered and when she scolded Lin Shandie, her face was still red. “What are you talking about? I don’t need anyone to feed me! Hmph, I can eat by myself!”

She snatched her hand back in a haughty manner and bent her head, burying herself in the food.

Lin Shandie burst into laughter, realizing that provoking Luo Xi was the most effective way to deal with her stubbornness.

Feeling helpless, Cheng Qing picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in the empty bowl in front of her. Luo Xi paused with her chopsticks and looked up at Cheng Qing with a delightfully cute expression on her face.

Cheng Qing smiled warmly, finding Luo Xi both adorable and beautiful. It was no surprise that she had become a top star in the entertainment industry based on her looks alone, but Cheng Qing knew that Luo Xi worked hard to achieve her success, regardless of what the novel said.

Cheng Qing paused for a moment and noticed a stray hair on Luo Xi’s face. Without hesitation, she reached out and gently tucked the strand behind Luo Xi’s ear, her fingers lightly grazing the smooth skin.

A tingling sensation was left in its trace, and Luo Xi couldn’t help but shyly tilt her head down, causing her long hair to drape over her blushing ear.

Cheng Qing warmly smiled and gestured towards the chicken with her chin, “Have some meat too. Chicken and shrimp are low in calories, so they’re perfect for controlling your calorie intake.”

Luo Xi meekly nodded and mumbled a thank you.

Cheng Qing softly chuckled and responded with an “Mm-hmm.” She picked up the serving chopsticks and said, “You took care of me earlier, so now it’s my turn to take care of you.”

Luo Xi’s face turned even redder, and she suddenly realized why Cheng Qing had been acting so shy earlier.

Kong Mingyan had been watching the whole interaction and couldn’t resist the urge to capture the moment. With wide eyes, he signaled to the cameraman on the side, “Quick, record it for me!”

The cameraman sighed: “…” Poor me, who can’t even eat.

Sitting slightly across from Cheng Qing were Ye Lingyun and the others.

Since Ye Lingyun was sitting near the fencing team, she had seen the cute interaction and expectantly looked at Li Mingyao.

Unsurprisingly, he was enjoying his food like a typical straight man.

She sighed deeply. Well, it’s women with women over there, after all, Mr. Li is a man and not that attentive. But who doesn’t want to be taken care of attentively? Even Ye Lingyun was thinking about finding a woman! o(T^T)o

After lunch, Kong Mingyan took care of the bill and led the group back to the cars. Aside from the production team’s bus, there were also three guest cars, which were typically arranged by teams.

When it comes to eating, Cheng Qing has strong self-discipline and usually stops when she’s around 60% to 70% full. Luo Xi, on the other hand, has a different approach.

Her manager often stops her from eating, so when she finally gets the chance, she eats until her stomach is round and satisfied.

Today was no different, and as they left the hotel, Cheng Qing felt a mix of regret and discomfort from overeating, but also happiness from a good meal. She glanced over at Luo Xi and couldn’t help but notice the roundness of her belly and the obvious satisfaction on her face.

Cheng Qing softly laughed and thought that Luo Xi resembled a cute stuffed kitten. She almost wanted to go over and pat her on the head.

The celebrities had already played several games in the morning so each team experienced many wins and losses, but Kong Mingyan was not going to let the group off easily in the afternoon either.

He checked his watch and said, “I remember that there’s a famous haunted house in Fanyu City. Let’s go check it out!”

The group’s faces turned pale in an instant. “Director, are you still a child? What’s so fun about a haunted house!?” they shouted, the more timid ones couldn’t help but scream loudly.

Zhang Lingling was also afraid and asked the director, “Do the teachers have to go too?”

Fans enjoy seeing celebrities screaming and howling like ghosts, but as ordinary people, it was unnecessary, right?

The director hesitated for a moment, but Zhang Lingling continued, “Will the audience even be interested in our reactions?”

Kong Mingyan’s eyes lit up and excitedly said, “Of course! Let’s go, everyone!”

The audience will definitely be interested in seeing Cheng Qing’s reaction.

He turned to look at Cheng Qing, but to his surprise, she looked calm and composed despite the upcoming visit to the haunted house. Kong Mingyan scratched his head in confusion, wondering if Cheng Qing was really not afraid of such things.

“Could it be that she isn’t even afraid of haunted houses?” he thought to himself.

Despite his doubts, Kong Mingyan insisted on taking the group to the renowned “Green Forest Hospital.”

Built during the Republic of China period, the Green Forest Hospital was once a renowned medical center. However, during the war, it fell into the hands of invaders and became a place of horror and torture.

Despite the country opening up and Fanye City’s development, the neighboring Green Forest City remained desolate and underdeveloped, leaving the hospital abandoned.

A few years ago, some big shot bought the abandoned hospital and turned it into a haunted house attraction with hired actors and intricate props.

The Green Forest Hospital is a massive three-story building, and navigating its twisting corridors takes at least half an hour. With its eerie atmosphere and disturbingly lifelike decor, it gained a reputation across the country.

The entrance fee for the haunted house was not cheap, costing around 180 yuan per person. However, Kong Mingyan made a prior arrangement with the management and were able to have the whole place exclusively for themselves.

With no other visitors in sight, the already pale faces of the celebrities turned even paler upon standing at the entrance.

Cheng Qing looked up at the dilapidated hospital building, which had an eerie and creepy vibe.

A second later, she heard a small gasp from her side and turned to see Luo Xi shaking in fear. Her wide eyes and fluffy hair made her look like a scared kitten.

Cheng Qing felt a pang of worry and asked, “Are you afraid?”

Luo Xi gave a meek nod, but before Cheng Qing could respond, she was suddenly jumped on by Lin Shandie and the rest of the group. “You’re not scared, huh? Then we’ll stick with you!”

Cheng Qing was suddenly surrounded and became stunned for a moment.

Kong Mingyan’s smile widened as he explained the rules, “Sorry guys, but only 2-3 people can enter at a time.”

Luo Xi quickly grabbed the end of Cheng Qing’s sleeve and tugged it faintly.

Cheng Qing felt her sleeve being pulled and turned back to see Luo Xi’s scared expression. The end of her eyes were slightly teary as her soft lips quivered.

Cheng Qing couldn’t help but feel worried and reassuringly stroked her head, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll go with you,” she said gently.

Luo Xi was moved to tears, “Thank you, Teacher Cheng!” She then turned to Kong Mingyan and demanded, “I want to be in the same group as Teacher Cheng because we’re roommates!”

Kong Mingyan couldn’t help but suppress a smile.

The whole reason that he brought them here was to capture Luo Xi’s and Cheng Qing’s reactions for the show. Of course I want you to be in the same group, why else would I be here filming? I’m filming you!

But Kong Mingyan hid his real intention and hesitantly said, “Is that so?”

Luo Xi vigorously nodded her head as she continued to tightly hold onto Cheng Qing’s sleeve.

Cheng Qing was completely unaware of the director’s plan and was still observing the hospital.

She had never been interested in haunted houses because they all had a rule: actors could not touch guests, and guests could not hit the actors.

“What’s so scary about it? You can’t even hit the monsters,” she thought to herself.

It was just…not very exciting.
