Another half month passed,

At lunchtime, Gu Qing was eating her boxed lunch when her phone rang.

It was Teacher He's phone call.

"Hello, Teacher He?" Gu Qing swallowed her food, her voice tinged with laughter.

"Little Gu, you haven't forgotten, have you? Tonight at 10 PM, on Huangguo TV, the premiere of 'Up Idol' will air!" Teacher He's voice came through the receiver, full of reminder and anticipation.

"How could I forget, Teacher He?" Gu Qing replied with a smile, "I'll definitely watch the shows we co-host!"

As we were chatting, I suddenly felt a weight on my back.

A soft, delicate body, carrying the fragrance of flowers and grass, pressed down on him, playful fingers poking and tickling his shoulder blades through his T-shirt.

Helpless, Gu Qing quickly grabbed the mischievous wrist with her other hand and continued into the phone, "Okay, Mr. He, don't worry, I'll definitely watch it on time. Alright, that's all for now, you go ahead and do your thing."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qing turned around.

As expected, what came into view was Liu Shishi's beautiful face.

She rested her chin on his shoulder, her almond-shaped eyes filled with curiosity, like a lazy yet curious cat.

"Qi Yu~" she drawled, nuzzling her cheek against his shoulder affectionately, "What good news did Teacher He tell you? What's on tonight's show?"

Since that kissing scene, as the emotions in the drama deepened, the relationship between the two off-screen also grew rapidly like a tender sprout breaking through the soil, and their intimacy seemed particularly natural.

"It's a variety show I recorded before, called 'Up Idol'."

Gu Qing turned her head to meet her eyes, which were so close to hers, and said, "It will premiere tonight at 10 p.m. Teacher He and I are the hosts, and Lin Qingxia will also be on the show."

"Brigitte Lin?!"

Liu Shishi's eyes widened instantly, her mouth slightly agape, filled with disbelief. "Is it really... the Brigitte Lin I know?"

"Absolutely genuine." Gu Qing nodded.

"Wow! It really is Senior Qingxia?! I want to see it too!"

Liu Shishi immediately became excited and tightened her arms around his neck. "You have a TV in your room, right?"

"Yes, there is," Gu Qing glanced at the time, somewhat hesitantly, "but it doesn't air until ten o'clock, it'll be too late by then..."

"So what if it's late?"

Instead of backing away, Liu Shishi moved even closer, her nose almost touching his cheek, her warm breath brushing against his skin, her eyes filled with laughter, "What? Your Highness Qi Yu... are you afraid I'll lose my temper?"

Gu Qing was caught off guard by her blunt teasing.

He reached out and gently pushed her smooth forehead, saying helplessly, "What am I afraid of? Come on then. Let's eat."

He pointed to the food on the table, changing the subject, "By the way, where's Brother Hua? I haven't seen him."

"I don't know, probably hiding somewhere to wipe away her tears."

Liu Shishi sat back down in her seat, picked up a piece of tomato and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour juice spread in her mouth, making her involuntarily think of the kissing scene that night.

His gaze unconsciously drifted back to Gu Qing's lips...

Her heart skipped a beat: Oh no, is she going to suppress it?

at the same time,

In a somewhat deserted corner not far away, Huo Jianhua sat alone, facing a lunchbox.

He glanced at Gu Qing and Liu Shishi chatting and laughing not far away, silently shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then sighed softly. He casually wiped his eyes with his hand and muttered under his breath, "Sigh, Gu has changed... He's so fickle... He doesn't even invite me to meals anymore..."

That figure from behind looked exactly like a forgotten "widowed old man".

All day long,

The filming schedule is progressing steadily in an efficient and relaxed manner.

All three lead actors were in excellent form. Even Liu Shishi, whose acting skills were relatively weakest, played Yunxian quite well, as if she had rediscovered the lively feeling of Ruoxi from back then.

Gu Qing and Huo Jianhua, these two "veteran actors," have mastered the tropes of idol dramas with ease, completing their scenes in a single day with effortless skill.

Veteran cadre Huo Jianhua returned to his room early to rest and recharge.

Liu Shishi was originally looking forward to her "world of two" with Gu Qing, but she didn't expect that a "Cheng Yaojin" would suddenly appear - Jin Cheng, who played her love rival.

Upon learning that Gu Qing's variety show would premiere tonight, Jin Cheng, still eager to attend, enthusiastically signed up to "watch the ceremony."

So what if she's the top sister in her family?

In the drama, she has a one-sided crush on Gu Qing!

She is "clean"! She is "pure"!
It was a little after 8 p.m. in Gu Qing's room.

A beanbag chair was laid out on the soft carpet, piled high with cut fruit platters and various snacks, making ample material preparations for binge-watching TV shows.

"Knock knock knock—" The knocking sounded on the door.

Gu Qing got up and opened the door. Liu Shishi and Jin Cheng were standing outside.

Liu Shishi had just finished showering; her long hair was slightly damp and loose, emitting a faint fragrance.

She wore a simple cartoon T-shirt and loose shorts, revealing a pair of long, shapely, ivory-white legs, exuding a gentle and homely sense of laziness.

Meanwhile, Jin Cheng next to her... was dressed quite "boldly." She wore a large T-shirt, the length of which barely covered her hips, and below... at first glance, it looked as if she wasn't wearing anything at all!

"Wait! Don't come in!"

Gu Qing's pupils dilated in shock, and she swiftly reached out to block Jin Cheng from rushing in.

"Why won't you let me in?" Jin Cheng hugged a pillow, puffed out her chest confidently, and tried to force her way in.

Gu Qing couldn't bear to look and quickly closed her eyes, her tone slightly exasperated: "Big sister, you dare to come visiting without wearing pants? Are you trying to get me killed?!"

"Who's not wearing pants!"

Jin Cheng retorted loudly, dissatisfied. To prove her point, she held a pillow in one hand and with the other hand, she swiftly lifted the hem of her T-shirt—

A pair of denim shorts so short they almost disappeared below the thighs were visible. She patted the hem of the shorts a couple of times with obvious pride, "See? Isn't this it?"

"Ah—! Jin Cheng, what are you doing?!"

This sudden "clothing-lifting proof" startled Liu Shishi, who had already entered the room, causing her to turn around and scream.

After Jin Cheng made a scene, Gu Qing reluctantly let her go.

"The show doesn't air until 10 o'clock, what are you two doing here so early?"

Gu Qing closed the door, turned around and looked at the two people who had already "set up camp" next to the lazy table, looking puzzled.

"I missed you, of course, so I had to come early to grab a good spot?" Jin Cheng sat cross-legged on the carpet, hugging her pillow, and sweet words flowed from her lips as she stared intently at Gu Qing.

Subsequently,

She noticed with her sharp eyes that Liu Shishi walked very naturally to Gu Qing's bedside, picked up the pillow from his bedside table, hugged it to her arms, and then sat down gracefully next to her.

Jin Cheng's eyes widened instantly: A miscalculation! The top star truly lives up to her name! That subtle "assertion of dominance" and sense of closeness... brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
"Be careful, juice spills on the pillow are hard to wash off." Gu Qing took out a tissue and naturally handed it to Liu Shishi, who was stuffing watermelon into her mouth.

Liu Shishi, however, puffed out her cheeks, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, chewing on watermelon while looking up at him with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Bright red watermelon juice slowly overflowed from the corners of her rosy lips, almost dripping.

Gu Qing's lips twitched slightly as he watched, and he sighed helplessly, resignedly wiping her mouth gently with a tissue.

"Me too! I want to wipe it too!" Jin Cheng got anxious when she saw it and quickly stuffed a big piece of watermelon into her mouth, deliberately letting the juice drip down her chin, and even gesturing to Gu Qing with "hmm".

Gu Qing glanced at her, unmoved, even a little disgusted: "This isn't my pillow, you can do whatever you want with it."

Jin Cheng: "..."

She angrily bent down, grabbed a tissue, and wiped her mouth haphazardly. Looking at the pillow that belonged to Gu Qing in Liu Shishi's arms, she lamented inwardly: Bringing a pillow was the biggest mistake she made today!

Gu Qing couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Jin Cheng's discomfiture.

He picked up the remote and switched the TV to Moon Channel.

On the screen, the latest season of "Running Man" is also airing tonight, and the opening sequence is playing.

"Hey, it's Lu Han!"

Jin Cheng pointed at the handsome young figure in the trailer on the screen, deliberately bumped Gu Qing with her shoulder, and said with a mischievous tone, "Gu Qing, he took your place! Aren't you upset? Aren't you jealous?"

What does "reached the top" mean?

Gu Qing sat down in the middle of the lazy table with annoyance, leaning against the bedside table. Her tone was calm but carried an undeniable confidence, "I chose to leave myself. If I hadn't left, no one could have taken that position."

"Wow~" Jin Cheng immediately clapped her hands exaggeratedly, her eyes sparkling, "You're so manly!"

As she spoke, she subtly moved closer, gently pressing her pale thigh against Gu Qing's side.

"Speak properly, or I'll beat you up." Gu Qing glared at her and shoved her leg away without any politeness.

"Then go ahead and punch me!" Jin Cheng persisted, grinning as she put her leg back down and wiggled it.

"It needs to be punched..."

Liu Shishi, who had been quietly observing the drama, suddenly spoke, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable presence.

She slowly stretched out one of her long, fair legs and gently placed it on Gu Qing's other leg. Then she turned her head to look at Jin Cheng with a gentle and polite smile on her face, "You should massage mine first, right? You get in line."

Jin Cheng was taken aback by this sudden "interception," then her eyes darted around as she tried to struggle, saying guiltily, "Senior Sister~ Doesn't Gu Qing have two hands?"
"At worst... we can each take one, right?" she said, giving Gu Qing a flirtatious wink.

"No...uh..." Liu Shishi was about to retort when her body suddenly trembled slightly, and a short, soft cry escaped her throat.

Two red clouds instantly rose to her cheeks, even her ears turned pink, and her almond-shaped eyes shone with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance as she looked at Gu Qing, "Qi Yu! What... what are you doing?"

Gu Qing looked completely innocent, his hands continuing their work as he pressed another acupoint on her calf: "Just giving you a leg massage, huh? What's wrong? Did you press too hard?"

"No...no."

Liu Shishi bit her lower lip lightly, trying to suppress the strange, slightly tingling yet strangely comfortable sensation that came from her legs.

The warm touch of his fingers felt like a faint electric current, making her heart race slightly and completely distracting her.

Just then, an energetic slogan came from the television: "Run, brothers!"

The first episode of the third season of "Running Man" has officially begun.
