The longed-for village system

Chapter 248 Teacher He
"Let's do it again, this time at a faster pace."

Looking at Chen Qing under the spotlight, Zhao Xiaogu across from her showed an infatuated expression. The VJ also skillfully captured the moment, giving Zhao Xiaogu a close-up shot and perfectly recording her infatuated expression.

"PD Lin, our show's ratings are definitely in the bag this time! It was so exciting and explosive! Brother Chen is treating our stage like a concert!"

"Haha! That's really great. If this episode airs, there's a high chance it will be kept for the next season. I'm half relieved."

Watching Chen Qing perform on stage, PD Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The low ratings had been keeping him up at night, but seeing the live performance today finally put his mind at ease.

It's not that their production team is bad, it's that they didn't invite enough star power! Just look at the performance of Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu on set and you'll know the answer.

After their performance, Chen Qing sat down next to Zhao Xiaogu. After watching the next two groups of singers, the two left during their break, planning to go back to their hotel for a short rest and then go sightseeing in Changsha that evening.

The two had just left the recording studio when they ran into an old acquaintance, Teacher He, at the door. Teacher He was also very surprised to see them.

"Why are you guys out here? Is the recording over?"

Teacher He glanced at his watch and calculated the time. Logically, the show shouldn't be over yet. He had originally come here hoping to sneak a peek backstage!
"Not yet! Xiao Gu and I left first, planning to go back to the hotel to rest and go out for some fun tonight. It would be a waste to come all this way just to record a show," Chen Qing replied to Teacher He.

Teacher He smiled knowingly upon hearing Chen Qing's words. Sure enough, that's how it is! The recording of the show was only out of consideration for their friendship; the main reason was to accompany Xiao Gu on a trip to relax.

"Since you're both out, let me take you to eat first! You two can rest on the way, and I'll have my assistant drive you around tonight."

Changsha is his territory. As the older brother, how could he not show Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu hospitality when they came here? Besides, he was the one who called to invite them to Changsha to record the show. He had to treat them to dinner tonight no matter what.

Since they were all acquaintances, Chen Qing knew Teacher He's temperament, so he nodded in agreement, "Great! Xiao Gu and I can have a big meal tonight."

"Then, Teacher He, we won't stand on ceremony! It's been so long since we've had a big meal, we've been really craving it!" Zhao Xiaogu was also very happy.

Zhao Xiaogu wasn't lying. Although she ate a lot in Manyuan Village, not everything was available to her. Her three meals a day were prepared by Sister Chen, and she could only occasionally get to eat a little bit of the food she was particularly craving.

Chen Qing knew that Zhao Xiaogu had been enduring a lot of hardship lately. Normally, with his medical skills, it wouldn't have been a problem for Zhao Xiaogu to eat some snacks. However, Sister Chen was too serious, and the couple couldn't refuse her good intentions. So, Chen Qing could only secretly buy some for Zhao Xiaogu to satisfy her cravings.

"Eat whatever you want today, except for sashimi and lobster which have a lot of parasites. Eat as much as you like." Chen Qing also indicated that Zhao Xiaogu could eat as much as she wanted.

"Brother Chen, are you serious? Can I eat whatever I want? Barbecue is okay?"

Zhao Xiaogu looked at Chen Qing with an expectant expression. Everyone knows that pregnant women should not eat barbecue during pregnancy, because eating too much of that stuff can easily cause internal heat, which is not good for the baby in the womb. Last time when a group of sisters organized a barbecue, she was so hungry that she couldn't wait to eat it.

"Okay, but only this once! After you finish eating, drink some of the Chinese medicine I prepared for you, and you'll be fine." "Ah! Is it bitter?" Zhao Xiaogu looked at Chen Qing with a pitiful expression.

Chen Qing reached out and gently flicked Zhao Xiaogu's forehead, replying, "I'll add some honey to it so it won't be bitter. There's no such thing as wanting to be greedy without paying the price."

Seeing the couple shamelessly displaying their affection and showering everyone with sweetness, Teacher He interrupted, "Hey you two, you should be a little more mindful of your image! We're still out here!"

"Teacher He, are you envious? If you're envious, then find us a sister-in-law! Then everyone else will be eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)." Chen Qing teased Teacher He with a smile, but then restrained himself, knowing that they were in public and needed to be mindful of their image.

Mr. He could not respond to this point, as it is not something he can decide on his own, and he currently feels that living alone is quite good.

"Alright, I'm done arguing with you guys. I have something to talk to you about. Are you two going to wait for me here, or get in the car and wait for me?"

It was obviously inappropriate to wait here, so the two decided to get out and wait for Teacher He in the car, so that they could rest quietly in the car for a while.

Chen Qing was mainly worried that Zhao Xiaogu would get tired, but he himself didn't feel tired at all. His body's physique was getting better and better, and Chen Qing could clearly feel that.

Back in Teacher He's van, Zhao Xiaogu leaned back in her seat and looked at her phone, while Chen Qing took out paper and pen from her bag and started writing. The next time they longed for each other wouldn't start for a while, but since they had met by chance this time, she decided to write down the song for Teacher He.

Now, the only songs he promised to give to others are He Jiong and Zhang Bichen. He'll get He Jiong's song sorted out first.

"Brother Chen, are you writing a song?" Zhao Xiaogu asked aloud when she saw her husband writing on his phone after looking at it for a while.

As for Brother Chen writing songs anytime, anywhere, she wasn't surprised at all. With Brother Chen's talent, it's not a question of whether he wants to write or not.

"Hmm! Didn't I promise Teacher He I'd give him a song? I just happened to come across it, so I'll give it to him! There's still some time before the next recording of the show! Now that I've received the song, it's a good time to release it as a single."

While answering Zhao Xiaogu's question, his hands were busy writing down the lyrics in his mind under the melody he was composing. The speed at which he did so made Zhao Xiaogu feel like she was printing.

"Brother Chen, no wonder everyone calls you the 'song human body printing machine,' your speed really is almost like a printing press! It seems you were more restrained before."

Regarding Zhao Xiaogu's high praise, Chen Qing explained with a smile, "That's because the songs are already in my head. Now I'm just copying down what's in my head. Otherwise, how could it be so easy!"

Zhao Xiaogu naturally understood, but she still acted like a little mystery girl, praising Chen Qing: "My husband is the best too. Xiaoxiao has received many invitations from singers, many of whom are superstars, and they offered very high prices! But I rejected them all. I know you definitely don't want to take orders to write songs."
