Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

Shanghai Pudong Airport, a modern transportation hub, gradually wakes up in the first rays of the rising sun.

The glass curtain wall of the terminal reflects an orange-red glow, like a giant crystal, shimmering warmly in the morning light.

As flights arrived one after another, people gathered here like a tide. Fans held colorful light signs and wore uniform cheering clothes. Their eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, as if the whole airport had become unusual because of their arrival.

However, among the noisy crowd, the airport staff seemed particularly serious and busy. They shuttled between various posts, directing the in and out of flights with standard gestures, ensuring the order and safety of the airport.

They looked focused and serious, and they never relaxed even when facing enthusiastic fans. The boarding notice from the radio was so clear and powerful, and every word was full of unquestionable authority.

The staff were busy coordinating the flow of passengers. They walked in a hurry, as if time was unwilling to stay on them.

And those fans, although filled with joy, also followed the instructions in an orderly manner, without interfering or making noise, just to stop for a moment with their idols.

"Brother! There are a lot of fans waiting at the airport!"

Xiao Wang received a notification after the taxiing ended.

"No, why are there fans waiting to pick us up at the airport again? Didn't I tell you before that you are not allowed to come?"

Li Cheng was also very speechless. It seemed that all his previous words were in vain as these people just took advantage of him.

Oda also learned the whole story during this period and said, "It's not that they wanted to come, but they were attacked by other fans, saying that you are not popular anymore. No one greeted you at the airport. Every time you arrived at the airport, there was no one."

When Li Cheng heard this, he turned around and asked, "Did Wang Feng release a new song yesterday?"

"No, it's probably to suppress the trending searches of that Korean star. She didn't participate in the Fengma show, and zjn has also been soft-banned."

Xiao Wang's brain works very fast.

"No, they're using me to push the trending searches? Aren't they afraid that my uncle will talk to them?"

Li Cheng was even more speechless. You are using me to push the trending search, what? Are you really not going to check my background?

"Brother, the fans' pick-up at the airport did not make the hot search list, it has been removed by the official. Many people were voting for it, but it was all taken down by Aunt Xue."

Li Cheng took off his mask, slowly stood up and walked towards the door. The fans who came to pick him up at the airport had already come, so how could he avoid them?
"Go get your luggage later. Your sister-in-law and I will go meet the fans." Li Cheng saw that Xiao Wang was about to refuse, so he interrupted and said, "Don't worry, we won't affect the operation of the airport. Fans also know my personality. The people who came to pick me up are here. It would be bad if I didn't meet them."
-
"Why don't you come out yet?"

"Yeah! Didn't you say you'd arrive at 11?"

"We really need to let some people's fans see this! They still say Li Cheng is not popular! With so many people here, who dares to say he is not popular?"

"That's right, he's just bragging about it online, but how many people actually know about his brother?"

"Will Cheng Cheng scold us again later? He hates airport pick-ups."

"That shouldn't be the case, right? There are so many of us, he can't scold us all, right?"

"We must not hinder the operation of the airport. Everyone should exit in an orderly manner and do not rush forward."

"Yes, yes, yes. If you want to take photos or send gifts, you must do so outside the airport! Don't cause congestion inside the airport!"

"Don't let Cheng Cheng be on this trending search, sisters, those who have money should contribute money, those who have strength should contribute strength. If this is reported, Cheng Cheng will be criticized. Cheng Cheng has not been named in the section about airport pick-up, so we must not smear him!"

"Everyone, please control yourselves! Stop the paparazzi later. Cheng Cheng hates paparazzi the most!"

"Look at the children, pregnant women and elderly people around you!"

"."

The airport hall was crowded with people. The clock seemed to be lengthened by the anxious waiting, and every minute and every second became unusually heavy.

The flight information on the screen refused to change, but the fans' eyes became more and more burning, as if they wanted to see through the scrolling subtitles to see what they were concerned about. Some of them tightly held the support signs, on which Li Cheng's name was shining under the lights; others lowered their heads and swiped their phones, trying to get the latest news from the virtual world to comfort their anxious hearts.

The air is filled with the aroma of coffee and fast food, which is a comfort during the long wait and also an irony of the hurried life.

"Here he comes! Here he comes! Cheng Cheng is here!"

"And Oda! Ah! Sister-in-law!!!"

"It's finally out! It's out!"

"."

Suddenly, a slight commotion spread among the crowd. A girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to a corner of the hall with a trembling finger. There, a familiar figure slowly came into view with the sound of the luggage cart's wheels rolling.

"Ah!!! Cheng Cheng!!!!"

"Oda!!!!"

"Cheng Cheng!!!"

"Cheng Cheng!!!"

"Oda!!!! Aa ...

In an instant, all the waiting and fatigue turned into silent cheers and screams, and the fans' faces were filled with ecstasy, as if at this moment, their world was finally complete.

The fans' shouts almost pierced the security guards' eardrums. They were also very calm and did not rush forward, but stayed where they were.

The sun shines through the clouds and reflects on the glass curtain wall of the airport.

Amid the flow of light and shadow, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked out gracefully, like a well-matched couple from a picture magazine.

Li Cheng wore a white shirt and light blue jeans, simple yet stylish. His eyes were deep and bright, like stars in the night, shining with love and expectation for life. Whenever he smiled, there seemed to be a hint of teasing in the corners of his eyes, as if he was telling endless stories. His hair was neatly combed, gently fluttering in the wind, exuding a hint of shampoo freshness.

Oda was wearing a long white dress, light and elegant, like a white lotus in early summer, fresh and refined. Her eyes were gentle and reserved, as if one could hear the song in her heart.

The two walked hand in hand, in unison, their tacit understanding and intimacy were self-evident. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, they revealed a kind of intimacy and peace, like the fragrance in the breeze, making people feel comfortable and close.

As they walked by, the fans around them couldn't help but look at them with envy, as if they were attracted by the warmth emanating from them.

"Cheng Cheng! Xiao Tian!!!"

"Chengcheng!!!!!"

"Oda!!!!"

"."

When Li Cheng heard the fans' shouts, his face gradually became gloomy, as if covered with a layer of light frost, giving people a cold and ruthless feeling.

Oda on the side formed a sharp contrast with him. She always had a smile on her face and greeted every fan happily.

When fans saw Li Cheng’s expressionless face, they all swallowed their saliva. They knew that a storm was about to hit.

With the help of the staff, Li Cheng left the airport. Before leaving, he and Oda thanked the people who came to maintain public order.

After the staff left, everyone came to the familiar corner again.

The fans felt the sudden change in the weather, and they all stood there like the young wife, feeling wronged. There was no sound at all, and only the sound of planes taking off and cars passing by the airport could be heard. "Come on! Cheng Cheng! Look here!!!"

"Cheng Cheng! Look here!"

"Look here, smile!"

"."

The voices of the paparazzi were very prominent, and the fans were already worried about this group of people.

Li Cheng knocked over the photographer's camera and yelled, "How many times have I told you! Don't f**king take photos of me! I don't hire a photographer! Go take photos of whoever hired one! Don't f**king take photos of me!"

“Then you can’t knock over my camera, can you?” The somewhat feminine man immediately said sarcastically, “Oh, it’s different when you’re famous. Li Cheng is recognized for knocking over the cameraman’s camera. Aren’t you afraid of being scolded on the hot search?”

"Fuck you, I'm going to tell you photographers one last time! I don't need to take photos of the airport! Don't take photos of me! Take photos of whoever you want! Don't take photos of me! Do you understand?"

After saying that, Li Cheng pulled out a wad of cash from his bag and threw it into the photographer's face.

The photographer wanted to continue the attack, but he found that his colleagues had already fled. He had to pick up a few bundles of cash on the ground and fled in shame. Camera? He didn't dare to take it. If Li Cheng sued him, the money would not be enough to fill his teeth and he would have to spit it back.

When the fans saw Li Cheng getting angry again, many of them lowered their heads, knowing that class was about to start.

"You little girls, it's September now! School has started! If I remember correctly, today is Monday! You don't have classes? Huh?"

After Li Cheng's question, no fans spoke. Xiaotian also remained silent. She was also afraid.

"I'm a senior! I don't have classes!"

A brave sister stepped forward and Li Cheng followed the voice.

Many fans also looked over and felt that this sister was really brave. There were so many people and no one dared to speak, but you were the only one who dared to speak. You are so awesome.

"You're a senior? You don't have an internship? What? A repeat student? Does your family have a mine? Will you live off your family for the rest of your life? Will you just live off your parents for the rest of your life? Find someone you like and marry him?"

After Li Cheng's series of questions, the little girl immediately lowered her head. She didn't expect Li Cheng to be so sharp.

"I'll emphasize it one last time, I don't need to be picked up at the airport! I'm already exhausted from rushing to make the trip, I hope you guys will pay attention to my work and let me have more time for my private life. I was supposed to travel light, but I had a greasy face on the plane. Do you want to see me like this?"

Li Cheng took a deep breath and began to speak softly: "I also know that you have been provoked and attacked by other fans online recently."

As soon as these words came out, all the fans looked up in surprise. They didn't expect that Li Cheng would check Weibo again. But they knew that Li Cheng didn't like to check Weibo, except for the hot search terms, because Weibo was a low point.

"You don't have to pay attention to them. Let them yell at you. I won't take it. Let them yell at you. You know I'm a Buddhist. I'm the same as Brother Lu. I'm not a coward. I let my works speak for themselves. I'm not that vain. I'll be very happy if you guys watch my dramas, movies, and variety shows when you have nothing to do. I hope you can have your own lives. Don't be swayed by these things. Just be yourself! Go to class when you should, and go to work when you should!"

When fans heard Li Cheng start to speak softly, they knew that his anger had passed. Although they came secretly this time, they were afraid that Li Cheng would say a lot of hurtful words like before, but he didn't do that this time.

Xiaotian also started to play the good cop, saying: "Everyone must take good care of their health, go to school well, work well, and live your own life well. Your life is not for us to live. You must put yourself and your family first. Just support us when you have time."

"Yes!" Li Cheng agreed. These fans are all movie fans. Although the Internet is well developed now, he still hopes that everyone will pay more attention to the works rather than some illusory things, which are useless!
"I know some of you must be collecting cards! Listen to me, if you want to buy, go to the official website, don't go to those free markets, they are all speculating on cards, and you won't even know when you are being ripped off. With that money, you can reward yourself with a piece of clothing, a pair of shoes, or a big meal. Don't waste money. Most of you are in school now, and your living expenses are paid by your families. You should spend your money wisely. If you are taking the postgraduate entrance examination, buy some review materials, and if you are taking the civil service examination, do more papers."

Li Cheng turned around and asked solemnly, "Are there any high school students?"

When everyone heard this, they all said:
"no!"

"There really aren't any this time! There aren't any from high school!"

"Neither did the junior high school students! We persuaded all the kids to go back!"

"We caught those who sneaked in, and sent them back!"

"Don't worry, there are definitely no minors!"

"."

Li Cheng heard it very clearly, his face was no longer gloomy, and he said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to leave later, it's noon now, I asked my brother to book a restaurant, and I'll treat everyone to lunch!"

"Really?"

"Is it true? Are you two going?"

"Will you eat with us?"

"."

'Pap-pap-pap-pap'

"We have something else to do later, so we can't eat with you all, but you can eat whatever you want at noon, and give me 1 points per table! If anyone pays less than this, don't blame me for getting angry!"

As soon as Li Cheng said this, everyone became excited again.

"Cheng Cheng! You are so generous!"

“We don’t need such high standards!”

“That’s about right!”

"Are you going to give us gold to eat?"

"."

'Pap-pap-pap-pap'

"Alright, alright. After we take a group photo, Xiaotian and I will leave. Those of you who brought gifts here, take them back. I don't need anything. I've returned everything that can be returned. Don't spend that money. You know I have money. I have everything I need. Don't waste it!"

As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, several fans took out a few picture frames and asked, "Would you like to take this?"

Xiaotian immediately walked forward and found that it was a photo of her and Li Cheng, drawn by fans.

"I'll take this one, but I won't take it next time! It would be better if you could use this time to paint something else and focus on yourself! I'll post my works on TikTok."

Li Cheng was also moved when he saw these paintings. They were indeed good and could be hung at home.

The photo session on site was also very quick. Not only were there hundreds of people taking a group photo together, but the two were also afraid that some people might not be photographed, so they divided the photo session into groups, basically taking care of every fan.

It took me nearly an hour to get back to the car.

Xiao Wang also contacted several buses to take fans to the hotel for dinner.

Xiaotian looked at Li Cheng and said with a smile: "You are really good to your fans."

"There are so many people, it's impossible that they are all my fans. There are also your fans. Without their support, we wouldn't be where we are today. This can be considered giving back to the fans."

Xiaotian asked in confusion: "Then why do you always scold them? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"Just expose it. I'm not wrong. Why did you skip classes to come and see me? What if your parents find out? They are not letting their parents down, they are letting themselves down!" (End of this chapter)
