Me & Villainess’s CP Exploded In The Entertainment Circle - Chapter 9
Zhou Minli’s lips trembled as she felt Cheng Qing’s rigid gaze. The overwhelming pressure was enough to make Zhou Minli not dare to glance at Cheng Qing, she could only turn to one side and stammer, “I saw…”
“…Luo Xi and Ye Lingyun fighting. They were arguing very fiercely.”
No one heard Zhou Minli’s quiet mumble except for Cheng Qing, but these words didn’t even make her bat an eyelid as she only raised an eyebrow.
“That Luo Xi is so arrogant, Ye Lingyun even apologized but she still slapped Ye Lingyun!”
Cheng Qing’s expression didn’t change, “That’s it?”
Zhou Minli was taken aback, she changed from calling her “Cheng Qing” to “Senior” to show the beginning of her shift in attitude and her respect towards Cheng Qing. She believed that a skillful person like Cheng Qing must have a good character and side with her reasoning.
But she instead tapped Zhou Minli’s injured arm with the sabre in her hand and asked, “What do you know about Luo Xi? Or, what do you know about Ye Lingyun? Have you participated in even a minute of their lives?”
Zhou Minli: “…”
“To be able to win the championship in a competitive competition in just two years, is it not your hard work that led you to this accomplishment?”
Zhou Minli bowed her head, yes, it was very hard work.
Cheng Qing sighed, “In this world, it’s not just fencing that is hard, everyone works hard in life. But you were only a passerby who decided to eavesdrop on other people’s conversation and dare to stand above them? You only saw a fragment of the situation yet assumed that Luo Xi was in the wrong. Zhou Minli, you are still immature.”
Cheng Qing ignored her and turned around to walk toward Luo Xi.
When Luo Xi watched Cheng Qing proudly approach towards her without any injuries, her face finally blossomed into a brilliant grin. Luo Xi’s eyes glistened with an unfathomable friendliness and contentment, slightly bent like moon crescents.
Cheng Qing’s solemn expression vanished as her face flourished into a ray of sunshine, “As your roommate, I have worked hard!”
Luo Xi nodded vigorously, “You worked hard so I will cook for you tonight.”
Cheng Qing smiled, “Thank you, I will do it myself.”
Luo Xi: “???”
Liu Suoyu behind the two laughed and gave Cheng Qing a thumbs up. Luo Xi looked back at the two of them, her face becoming more and more bewildered.
Cheng Qing approached Luo Xi, smiled helplessly, and reached out to caress her curly hair, “You are a princess, you can’t cook.”
Luo Xi blushed and glared at her, “I told you not to call me princess!”
Cheng Qing giggled, “Okay, okay, don’t call, don’t call, did you vent your anger?”
Luo Xi shifted her gaze to Zhou Minli who was still standing in the arena with a complicated look while staring at Cheng Qing. There appears to be admiration, grief, envy, and… attraction?
Luo Xi grimaced slightly and stepped forward to block Zhou Minli’s view of Cheng Qing before turning her head to one side, “I’ve vented my anger.”
Cheng Qing hummed and handed the fencing mask to Xiao Xing who came forward to worship, “That’s good, now come with me!”
“Eh??? Where are we going?”
Cheng Qing fixed back her long black hair and casually said, “The changing room.”
Luo Xi blushed a little, “…Why? What are we going to do?”
“To get the medicine of course. I have one in the closet, don’t you want it?”
Luo Xi choked and responded in a low voice, “Oh… Yes.”
Liu Suoyu also followed and asked, “Teacher, should we…”
Cheng Qing glanced at Liu Suoyu and Lin Shandie.
“No you guys don’t follow, just change your clothes. Also, if you feel bad that you lost, that’s okay. If you lose, you lose, it doesn’t matter. It isn’t something to feel embarrassed about if you lose to a professional player.”
Unknowingly, this place had become Cheng Qing’s home field. The three big stars who were taken out by Zhou Minli were no longer considered small people. They obeyed Cheng Qing with a smile on their faces like a disciple and went to change their clothes.
Cheng Qing gently tugged Luo Xi’s arm, “Come on, let’s go.”
Luo Xi: “Oh.”
Seeing Cheng Qing leading Luo Xi away, the assistant director quickly winked at the cameraman.
The assistant director received the news of the promised eternal cp super talk officially surpassing 100,000 fans. It had only been two days of live broadcast but the momentum has already become like this.
How can such a hot topic be let go?
The cameraman sneaked over quickly. Since the changing room was small, he carried the camera and could easily see the bench in the center of the room.
Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to shoot what he shouldn’t have. He didn’t start recording until Cheng Qing sat next to Luo Xi with the medicine box.
The bench was wide enough for Luo Xi to sit on the side, dressed in a white suspender shirt with blood flowing down her exquisite snow-white arms, while Cheng Qing sat cross-legged beside her, holding a medicine box.
“During the game, if you realize something is wrong, you can quit.” Cheng Qing started to take medicine from the container and stretched her arm over Luo Xi’s to apply the medicine.
Luo Xi proudly smiled, “I will not give up- AHHHHH! Cheng Qing!”
Cheng Qing withdrew her hand from applying the medicine and showed a displeased smile, “Didn’t you say you’d call me Qingqing?”
Luo Xi looked at her with teary eyes, “Why did you apply it so suddenly?”
“Because you’re very brave!” Cheng Qing dropped her gaze and reached into the box for a different medicine. Her beautiful lashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes.
Luo Xi was amazed by her indifferent expression and felt aggrieved, “Brave…but afraid of pain!”
Luo Xi crossed her arms and pouted, “You are bullying me.”
Cheng Qing saw Luo Xi’s teasable face and slowly shifted her head closer to Luo Xi’s, her scarlet lips were close enough to kiss the tip of Luo Xi’s ear as her warm breath ran along the sides of her neck.
Cheng Qing exhaled lightly as she asked seductively, “Am I bullying you if I do this?”
Her voice was full of amusement but Luo Xi was momentarily seduced and became speechless.
Seeing that Luo Xi didn’t speak, Cheng Qing thought that she had done something wrong so she leaned back and softened her gaze, “If you’re afraid of pain, don’t force yourself to continue. You’ll only hurt yourself more.”
Luo Xi was still in a daze as she turned her head to look at the 10 cm long scar on her arm and held back her coquettishness aggrievedly, “But she provoked me fir- “
“Oh my~!” Cheng Qing feigned a shocked face and mercilessly sprayed more medicine on the wound.
The stimulation of the medicine penetrated through the wound and Luo Xi narrowed her eyes at Cheng Qing, “You did that on purpose!”
Cheng Qing smiled gently as usual, “No, I’m giving you medicine~” The tone was gentle as always.
Luo Xi: “…”
The two stopped talking and Cheng Qing quickly covered the wound with gauze to prevent bacterial infection.
After cleaning up the scraps, Cheng Qing picked up a coat and put it on Luo Xi. She then walked over to the closet to place the medicine box back where it belonged.
Luo Xi followed directly behind her but Cheng Qing didn’t see her until she turned around and nearly bumped into her. Fortunately, Cheng Qing responded fast enough and stopped steadily.
She leaned against the closet behind her, looking down at the gleaming hair twirling on Luo Xi’s head; it was as adorable as Luo Xi!
Luo Xi saw Cheng Qing’s smiling eyes and moved closer to her, closing the gap between their bodies.
Cheng Qing was caught off guard and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luo Xi touched Cheng Qing’s arm and tugged on the sleeve of her checkered jacket. The neckline slid down Cheng Qing’s arm exposing her refined collarbone.
From the camera’s perspective, Luo Xi appeared to be leaning into Cheng Qing’s arms but in reality, there was still a small gap between the two.
Luo Xi didn’t dare to raise her head, her delicate brows furrowed together as she softly whispered, “That Zhou Minli, what did she say to you?”
Cheng Qing’s gaze was immediately attracted to Luo Xi’s ruby-colored lips and tilted her head to look at her expression. She could feel her heart begin to throb as she noticed Luo Xi’s eyes wander on her face from the bottom up.
Cheng Qing froze for a second before reaching out to touch Luo Xi’s cheek, it was so smooth and soft.
“Zhou Minli said she saw you slap Ye Lingyun.”
Luo Xi pursed her soft lips and asked, “Do you believe her?”
“I believe it.”
Luo Xi furrowed two upset eyebrows at her and said “Hmph” as she turned to leave.
“Wait, listen to me, I believe that what she said is true but it doesn’t mean that I don’t trust you!” Cheng Qing softly held her arm and pulled her back, sighing.
Luo Xi was feeling better and finally looked at her, “That day, Ye Lingyun provoked me first, she stepped on my foot while wearing high heels! She clearly knows what I can’t stand the most and provoked me on purpose.”
Cheng Qing nodded, “Mm…”
Luo Xi’s eyes widened in disbelief, “That’s your reaction!?”
Cheng Qing blinked, thought for a while, and answered carefully, “Same hatred.”
Luo Xi: “…”
***
When the two returned to the cars Liu Suoyu and Lin Shandie were already sitting inside. Liu Suoyu spotted them enter and saw Luo Xi’s candid expression.
He asked Cheng Qing in a low voice, “Teacher, did you make her angry again?”
Cheng Qing drooped her head and was thinking very seriously, “I’m still thinking about what I did wrong just now.”
Liu Suoyu: “…”
Seeing that Cheng Qing was really thinking seriously Lin Shandie couldn’t help but secretly laugh, to be honest, she didn’t blame the increase in CP fans. The chemistry between the two was a little too attractive.
In another car, the cameraman that had just captured the scene inside the locker room showed it to the assistant director, she closely observed it and nearly suffered a nosebleed.
After a while, several people returned to the villa where Li Mingyao, Ye Lingyun, and Feng Qiuyi were still making cakes with Zhang Lingzhen.
Ye Lingyun wasn’t very skilled so her face, hair, and clothes were all smeared with cream while Li Mingyao stood aside, arms folded as if giving up.
Feng Qiuyi was serious but he wasn’t any better than Ye Lingyun. The person who baked the entire cake flung himself on it and nearly transformed into one!
In the end, Zhang Lingzhen barely praised Ye Lingyun with a few words.
As for the group led by Zhou Yong, they had already returned and were relaxing in the living room.
Seeing Cheng Qing and the others come back, Kong Mingyan asked the assistant director, “How was it over there?”
The assistant director showed a wretched smile and said, “Very good, very good.”
Kong Mingyan: “???” What happened?
He looked behind the assistant director and saw Luo Xi’s left arm wrapped with gauze.
The director immediately stood up in fright while gawking at Luo Xi’s arm, “Oh my god, what happened? Are you injured?” If her manager finds out, she’s going to kill me!
Luo Xi placed her other arm on her hip and bluntly said, “The NPC you invited is a follower of Ye Lingyun, she exacted her petty revenge, and I- “
Cheng Qing quickly covered her mouth from behind before Luo Xi could finish speaking and politely smiled at Kong Mingyan.
“This matter is complicated but you will know about it when the show airs later. I will take her upstairs to change clothes first it was stained with blood.”
Luo Xi tried to struggle out of Cheng Qing’s hug but Cheng Qing’s hand stretched out to pinch her waist. Luo Xi was ticklish so when Cheng Qing squeezed her hip, Luo Xi giggled under her palm.
The two then left under the director’s shocked, numb, and suspicious gaze.
