Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

In the dressing room, the quiet air is filled with a faint scent of perfume. Soft lights emanate from the ceiling, gently caressing each mirror, reflecting a hazy halo. Makeup tables are neatly arranged, with colorful bottles and jars on them, but in this tranquility, they are like sleeping elves.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the conversation between Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng. They were discussing the latest insider gossip, their voices full of excitement and eagerness. Li Cheng had completely forgotten about his phone, and seemed to be so absorbed in the conversation that he almost threw it away. Fan Chengcheng clapped his hands and responded, occasionally letting out a hearty laugh that echoed in the room, like playful notes jumping in the air.

As the two talked, the atmosphere in the dressing room quietly changed. Tian Xiwei, who was originally immersed in her beauty project, was more or less attracted to the attention. Some of them couldn't help but smile softly, while others looked around and looked at each other secretly. Although no one showed obvious interest in the content of the conversation, the subtle change in the atmosphere silently told everyone that here, silence is just an appearance, and gossip and small talk are the bridges that connect each other.

In such a scene, even the slightest sound can make one's heart skip a beat. The footsteps outside the door, the ringing of the phone in the distance, or the sound of traffic outside the window all seem to be amplified several times and clearly explode in everyone's ears. The conversation between Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng is undoubtedly the protagonist of this performance intertwined with silence and noise.

"Oh, by the way, Yao Yitian asked me to ask you what you think about it?"

"what?"

"What are you talking about! The recording is about to start. Yao Yitian knew that we would meet this time and asked me to hurry you up!"

Fan Chengcheng opened his mouth wide when he saw Li Cheng's confused look.

"I really don't know this, my aunt didn't tell me!"

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he immediately looked at the mirror and shouted, "Brother! Brother! Brother!"

Xiao Tian, ​​who was eating spicy noodles and putting on makeup behind Li Cheng, immediately said, "Oh, please shout softly, my ears are going to die."

"Here I am, bro, what's going on?"

At this time, Xiao Wang also ran over from a corner.

"Did my aunt tell you about Running Man?"

"I didn't say it."

Xiao Wang quickly shook his head and said that he really had no idea about this.

"Then you should call and ask, the recording will start soon."

Fan Chengcheng was very anxious at this time. It can be said that everyone in Running Man was waiting for Li Cheng's reply.

‘Deng-Deng-Deng’

"Hey."

Li Bingbing on the other end of the phone answered immediately.

"Auntie!"

“Aunt!!”

Li Bingbing was doing the massage with her eyes closed. The moment she heard Fan Chengcheng's voice, she opened her eyes and said, "Chengcheng is here too."

"Where? Where is Fan Chengcheng?"

At this moment, a voice that Fan Chengcheng was very familiar with came from beside Li Bingbing.

Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng looked at each other, and they both knew who it was.

"sister?"

Fan Chengcheng asked cautiously.

"Yeah, you were shooting for a magazine, how did you run into Li Cheng?"

Fan Bingbing's voice came from Li Bingbing's cell phone.

"I remember now, Li Cheng is also in Chengdu. He will play in a competition in two days. Wasn't Bazaar filmed in Chengdu this year?"

"Oh~"

Fan Bingbing immediately understood why the two met, and felt that as long as the two worked in the same city, they would definitely meet, which would not be surprising.

Oda pricked up her ears behind her. She was familiar with this voice, but she had never seen the person in person.

"Why are you calling me? We are getting a beauty treatment."

"Oh, by the way, aunt, did Yao Yitian send me a notice? Did you receive it?"

Li Cheng then remembered the important matter.

"Yes, I sent you a schedule. You were going to record a show with them after the Masters Tournament. Didn't you watch it?"

As soon as Li Bingbing finished speaking, Li Cheng turned his gaze to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang immediately took out his mobile phone and started checking it. He found the picture and shook his head.

"Aunt! Don't close your eyes yet. Look at the schedule. There's nothing!"

Li Cheng was a little angry at this time.

"Let me see."

Li Bingbing opened her eyes and took a look, then slapped her forehead and said, "You sent it to the wrong person. This is from before. I'll send it to you again right away. I was too busy and confused before."

"Cheng Cheng, please talk to your aunt properly. Your aunt has been busy at the hospital recently, and you are still yelling at her!"

Fan Bingbing heard this and began to speak up for the injustice.

"Hey, what are you saying in front of the child?"

Li Bingbing quickly patted Fan Bingbing who was lying next to her.

"What's wrong, aunt? Why are you going to the hospital again?"

Li Cheng's heart was shocked. He really didn't know this.

"It's nothing, I just went for a checkup. Don't worry, I'm fine. If there's anything wrong, I'll let you come back."

Li Bingbing sent the new schedule to Xiao Wang's mobile phone and immediately closed her eyes.

"You have something to tell me, please don't be silent. You didn't say anything when I called you two days ago."

"Oh, I'm really fine. Come on, you two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, go ahead and chat."

As soon as Li Bingbing finished speaking, Fan Bingbing's voice came over again, "Li Cheng, where is your fiancée? I haven't seen her yet. Is she next to you?"

Li Cheng immediately turned around and pointed the camera at Xiaotian who was putting on makeup.

The stylist behind Li Cheng also immediately moved to make room for the shooting.

"Okay, bring it back to BJ and let me see it. She hasn't received my gift yet."

"Okay sister!"

"Well, you guys go ahead and do your work. Call us if you have anything."

"okay."

"By the way, Fan Chengcheng, wait until we get back to BJ and see how I beat you!"

Fan Chengcheng quickly snatched Li Cheng's phone and hung up the video.

"?"

Li Cheng looked at Fan Chengcheng in confusion. He didn't understand what the other party did. What happened? Why did he hang up the phone when he heard that he was going to be beaten?

BJ
"The phone is hung up, don't say anything."

Li Bingbing saw that Fan Bingbing was still producing.

"This kid will learn the wrong things from those people every day when he returns to BJ!"

The more Fan Bingbing thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to skin her brother alive. "What's wrong? What's got you so angry?"

Li Bingbing smelled gossip at this time.

"I'm telling you, this kid."

成都
"What have you been doing lately? How did you piss off your sister?"

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Fan Chengcheng beside him.

Fan Chengcheng looked around, leaned over and whispered in Li Cheng's ear: "I'll go with them."

'bang'

"What did you say?"

After hearing what Fan Chengcheng said, Li Cheng slammed the table.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Oda was drinking water and almost dropped the cup.

The staff in the room were also startled by Li Cheng and patted their chests. The sudden noise really made them a little scared.

Fan Chengcheng quickly held Li Cheng down, put a finger on his mouth, and said, "Keep your voice down, what are you doing!"

"No, why did you go to a place like that with them? Are you sick? Aren't you afraid of being photographed?"

"They said there was a party so I went, but I didn't expect they were selecting a concubine."

"Have you chosen yet?"

Li Cheng looked at Fan Chengcheng curiously.

"No, I don't have that. I really don't have it."

Fan Chengcheng shook his head like a rattle and immediately denied it.

"You'd better not! Anyway, I won't say anything. You know whether you chose it or not. You'd better keep quiet recently! If I know you go to those places again, I'll twist your head off!"

Li Cheng felt a little disappointed. For people like them, if you said you hadn't made your debut yet, you could go there casually. But now you are an actor and an idol, why are you still going to such a place? Aren't you waiting for your reputation to collapse?
"My dear brother, I really don't have one."

Fan Chengcheng was a little scared. He was really afraid that Li Cheng would beat him.

"Okay, okay, I don't care if you have it or not, just stop hanging out with those people."

Li Cheng was talking about Fan Chengcheng’s classmates.

"Oh, I know."

Fan Chengcheng also knew that Li Cheng looked down on that group of people and had been annoyed by them since childhood.

"Teacher Li Cheng! We can take pictures now!"

At this time, Bazaar staff came to the dressing room.

"coming."

Li Cheng stood up at this time and followed the staff to the photo location.

Fan Chengcheng took a deep breath. Just now, Li Cheng looked at him as if he were garbage. He was most afraid of this look. He really wanted to beat him up!
Xiao Tian, ​​who was curling her hair, heard Fan Chengcheng's deep breathing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Fan Chengcheng explained with a bit of embarrassment.

"It's okay. Why are you so nervous? I see you're sweating."

Xiaotian looked at Fan Chengcheng in the mirror. The other party's red and warm state must be something wrong, and Li Cheng's face looked very bad when he left.

"It's really okay."

Fan Chengcheng also took two pieces of paper and wiped his forehead, and found that he was indeed sweating.

"How did you offend your brother again?"

"Sister-in-law, you have to save me!"

Fan Chengcheng also knew that he couldn't refuse because the relationship between the two families was too close. It was estimated that his sister had already told Li Bingbing about his affairs.

"What's going on?"

Xiaotian looked at Fan Chengcheng who was walking over.

Fan Chengcheng leaned his head over and whispered again what he had just said to Li Cheng.

Oda pursed his lips, not knowing how to start.

"What should I do, sister-in-law? I really didn't know at the time."

Fan Chengcheng knew that the only person who could prevent Li Cheng from beating him was Xiaotian.

"So did you make a choice? Tell me straight out."

"No choice! I didn't choose this! Let me show you the photos!"

Fan Chengcheng quickly produced evidence to prove his innocence.

Xiaotian took the phone and took a look. There was also a video. It was true that Fan Chengcheng did not look for her at that time. He consoled her and said, "Then don't worry too much if you didn't choose. But your brother is right. You should play with them less. He always takes you to these places."

"Oh, I know, but after all, we are all classmates, and I can't always refuse them. It seems like I don't want to play with them because I'm famous."

Fan Chengcheng was also in a difficult situation. He couldn't break off his ties with his family just because he became famous.

"That's easy to say. The main thing is that they are of no help to you and are always holding you back. You'd better break up with them as soon as possible."

Xiaotian shook his head. He knew that Fan Chengcheng was in trouble, but right now he was in the limelight, so it would be better to have less contact with him.

"I try my best."

Fan Chengcheng also knows that it is impossible to break up with certain people directly, and he has to proceed step by step.

shooting scene.
-
In late autumn in Chengdu, the sun shines obliquely in the slightly cool afternoon, and the afterglow shines through the sparse clouds, shining on Li Cheng's slightly nervous but determined face. The handrail on the balcony is warm from the sun, but the breeze brings a bit of coolness, brushing against Li Cheng's exposed skin, making him shrink his neck involuntarily.

Li Cheng stood on the balcony, facing the photographer's lens, he adjusted his breathing, his eyes became focused and firm. Despite the chill, beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Every time the shutter was pressed, it was like a race against time, and every change in expression was a commitment to professionalism.

The surrounding scenery is also gently covered by this soft light. The high-rise buildings in the distance are reflected by the setting sun, and the outlines become soft and warm, and the branches and leaves nearby are faintly golden. The potted plants on the balcony quietly tell the stable years, and occasionally a few bird calls break the tranquility, accompanying this dedicated persistence.

Li Cheng knows that this job is not just about putting on a beautiful posture, but also a pursuit of perfection and respect for work. He smiled, with a hint of determination and expectation in his eyes, as if telling the world that no matter how the environment changes, his professionalism and enthusiasm will never cool down.

After Oda finished shooting the solo part, the two came to a separate small room.

Under the dim light, the location for the magazine shoot seemed particularly depressing. The lighting technicians were busy adjusting each light, striving to achieve the best effect. Fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, but they didn't bother to wipe them off. They focused on the changes in light and made fine adjustments at any time. Their figures looked extremely tired under the dim light, but their eyes were shining with professionalism and perseverance.

In this small space, Li Cheng and Xiao Tian were posing in various positions, following the photographer's instructions. They had professional smiles on their faces, and although they were exhausted, they were still in the best condition. Xiao Tian's long hair shone softly under the light, and Li Cheng's eyes were affectionate and focused. They stared at each other, as if all the noise around them had nothing to do with them.

The cameraman stood by, constantly pressing the shutter to capture the most touching side of the couple. His voice was particularly loud in the gloomy environment, sometimes instructing the couple on how to pose, and sometimes encouraging the lighting technician to continue adjusting the lights. Whenever he saw a satisfactory photo, he would smile knowingly and affirm the team's efforts.

Despite the difficult environment, the atmosphere is full of dedication and enthusiasm. Everyone's face is filled with love for work and pursuit of perfection. In this gray space, they use hard sweat and unremitting efforts to jointly create stunning pictures.

Fan Chengcheng, who was standing by, felt a little envious when he saw how Li Cheng and Xiaotian got along. He really envied Li Cheng for daring to publicly announce his girlfriend when his career was on the rise, and for announcing his engagement when his popularity reached its peak. Moreover, very few fans left, and he instead attracted a large number of fans.

Oda, who was taking the photo, smiled sweetly, and there was only Li Cheng in her eyes.

Li Cheng also put Fan Chengcheng's previous affairs behind him. Now his world only has Xiaotian in front of him (End of this chapter)
