Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

'buzz buzz'

Xiaotian had just got into the car, and Li Cheng, who was supporting her, handed her the mobile phone.

"What's wrong?"

Xiaotian hadn't sat down yet. He smoothed his hair and looked at Li Cheng, who stretched out his hand.

"The phone is ringing. There's a call."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he signaled Fan Chengcheng to get in the car quickly, fearing that he would be watched.

"Hello~"

"Ah, I'm in Chengdu. Let's get together? You're in Chengdu too! Is that true?"

"Sure, I'm with my boyfriend and his childhood friend."

"Yes, we just finished our meal on Chunxi Road."

"I'll ask them later."

Xiaotian tapped the microphone on his phone to mute it, and said, "Wait a minute, you two should cooperate with me. Zyt is looking for me, and I don't really want to go."

Fan Chengcheng made an OK gesture.

Li Cheng nodded.

"Well, we have other plans later, so we may not be able to go."

Oda spoke to the other end of the phone with a little embarrassment, but the message she heard next made her shout out.

"Ah? Let me ask them. I don't know where we are going. I'll ask my boyfriend."

Li Cheng frowned after hearing this. This guy is stubborn. He kept pestering me even after I politely rejected him. So he stretched out his hand.

"Please speak carefully."

Xiaotian whispered some instructions. She was really afraid that Li Cheng would say zyt, as they didn’t know each other.

"Hello, I'm Xiaotian's boyfriend Li Cheng. We are going to my friend's house next. Sorry."

Li Cheng went straight to the point. If you still can't understand this, then there's something wrong with your brain.

"Hey, we are all young people, let's make friends."

Li Cheng frowned as he listened to the girl's voice on the other end of the phone.

"We are going to visit my friend's parents. The old man wants to see Xiaotian. I'm sorry, it's really not convenient at this time."

"Oh ~ ok, let's meet again some other day."

Li Cheng then returned the phone to Xiaotian.

Xiaotian spoke very official words into the phone, saying something like "good girlfriend", "I'm apologizing on behalf of my boyfriend" and so on. Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng listened and shook their heads.

"I'm exhausted!"

Xiaotian felt a little disappointed. She felt that Zyt had no sense of propriety.

"Didn't you ask Lei Zi about this before? He said I must be annoyed by her and he specifically told you to have less contact with her."

Li Cheng tilted his head and looked at Xiaotian, who seemed relieved, with a half-smile.

"Oh, I know, but we just finished filming and I can't delete them from WeChat, and we still have to promote it together."

Xiaotian then slumped down in his seat again and shouted, "I'm so annoyed!"

Fan Chengcheng didn't look up, and asked while scrolling through DY: "Why do you know her?"

"We just filmed a drama together before, and then we got to know each other. Who knew she would be like this? I didn't want to do that."

Xiaotian is really feeling a little disappointed. She and zyt are not close friends.

"Hey, aren't he and Hou Minghao getting along pretty well? Didn't he ask about you indirectly?"

At this time, Fan Chengcheng was possessed by the spirit of gossip and patted Li Cheng on the shoulder.

"I don't know. He didn't tell me. I guess he couldn't tell me. And if he knew, he would probably say zyt."

Li Cheng shook his head. Hou Minghao really hadn't told him about this matter. He probably wouldn't tell him even if zyt asked. He would explain it to zyt in person.

"Then brother, shall we send brother Chengcheng back?"

Xiao Wang, who had been sitting silently in the passenger seat, turned around and glanced at the three people behind him.

"Please send me back first. I plan to have fun here for the next two days. I'm going to Leshan tomorrow and eat some skewers at Wang Hedi's house."

Fan Chengcheng didn't dare to run around these past two days. He felt that if he dared to play with those rappers here, Li Cheng would just go to the bar and pull them out for him.

"Didn't you say you were going to look for Masiwei? Go ahead, it's okay, just don't play with those little rappers. People like Chengdu Group CDC are fine, they've already made it, they don't dare to mess around."

Li Cheng looked at Fan Chengcheng behind him with a slightly teasing look.

"No, no, no, no, I won't go. I'd rather go to Leshan to play and visit Wang Hedi's home. He's already told his uncle and aunt. He'll be back in the next two days. I'll probably just stay in Leshan and we'll come over together the day before your competition."

Fan Chengcheng quickly waved his hands to refuse, he didn't dare. It seemed that Li Cheng asked him to go, which was a trap for him. If he dared to go, Li Cheng would call Fan Bingbing, ask for power, and then beat him up!
"Okay, good. I've learned my lesson."

Li Cheng was very satisfied and patted Fan Chengcheng's face.

"You!"

Xiaotian looked at Fan Chengcheng with a look of disappointment.

"Then I was wrong to listen to my elder brother."

Fan Chengcheng crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Tian Xiwei with a proud look, meaning that if I dare to go to Li Chengzhen, I will beat him up! He didn't want to be beaten!

Chunxi Road is not far from the hotel where Fan Chengcheng lives, and he soon arrived at his hotel.

"Then I'm leaving! I'll bring you some Leshan skewers when I come back!" Fan Chengcheng got off the bus and stood at the door, waving at the two of them.

"Okay, take care of yourself. Call Didi if you have any problems."

"I know. Go back quickly."

'Beep'

Brother Zhang drove towards Li Cheng's home.

Fan Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the car going farther and farther away. In fact, someone really asked him out for a drink today, but he patted Li Cheng and the person who was looking for him fell silent instantly.
-
"today."

Oda returned home and hooked his finger at Li Cheng.

"Tonight, you just sleep by yourself! I'm crazy!"

Li Cheng saw the tigress coming down the mountain and immediately ran to the guest room. He was really afraid of being eaten by Xiao Tian. Now he had to conserve his energy for the battle! Women would only affect his shooting feel!

'bang'

Oda heard the door close and walked straight over.

'bang bang bang'

"Come out! Come out right here! What do you mean?"

Oda began knocking on the door frantically and kept fiddling with the door handle, trying to get into the customer service room.

"Really, wait until I finish the competition. Be obedient and go to sleep. Good night, Makabaka."

Li Cheng has already started washing up in the bathroom of the guest room. He will not give Xiaotian any chance. He needs to conserve his energy.

"what!!!!!!"

Seeing that Li Cheng was determined not to come out, Xiaotian had to give up. After all, Li Cheng also had important matters to attend to.

Xiaotian lay on the bed, eyes wide open, peeking into the dark room, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She listened to the silence in the room, only hearing her own breathing, as if listening to the time slowly passing. She kept thinking about why Li Cheng wanted to sleep in a separate room. She was not ignorant, and she was just thinking about various possible reasons. She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but she could only think of her boyfriend's warm embrace.

She felt like she was in a nightmare. She kept breathing and crying. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She felt lonely and lost. She cried and felt lost. She could not find comfort in the darkness. Every wail seemed to represent the infinite sadness and anger in her heart.

The movements of her body were also full of powerlessness and despair. She bent her body and shivered. She struggled to raise her head, as if looking for a glimmer of hope and warmth. But everything seemed so empty and desolate. She lowered her head, unable to face the reality of it all.

She sat on the bed, at a loss, hugging the pillow, as if hugging her own anxiety and loneliness. Her hands kept scratching the quilt, as if looking for a little comfort. But her body movements were full of anxiety and despair, as if struggling to escape reality.

In the middle of the night, Xiaotian's voice became more and more hoarse, and her breathing became rapid, as if she was trapped in an inescapable nightmare. Her breathing made the whole room seem even colder and quieter. She tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn't control her emotions. The pain in her heart could not be expressed in words.

The whole room was filled with her sadness and helplessness. In the darkness, she seemed to have become a lonely soul, unable to find a home. In this long night, she faced her inner struggle and bitterness alone.

The atmosphere in the guest rooms is quite the opposite.

Li Cheng was lying on the big bed, his body completely relaxed, without a single drop of sweat. The dim bedside lamp reflected his peaceful face, as if carrying his inner peace. His eyes were closed, his breathing was steady and gentle, as if he was completely immersed in a dream. There was no movement around him, even his own breathing was very light, as if creating a quiet environment for him at the right time.

Without Xiaotian's company, he could still enjoy the tranquility of being alone, stretching out like a cat, and being in a carefree state. In such a peaceful night, his body was perfectly relaxed, and his mental state was greatly restored and improved.

Occasionally, he would make a slight snoring sound from his nose, as if he was recalling the laughter and joy of the past, or as if he was foreshadowing a bright future. In such a quiet night, only his breathing and the faint friction of the bed disturbed the air. In this calm and comforting sound, Oda's figure gradually became blurred.

Li Cheng's arms were draped diagonally over the bed, his calves slightly bent, as if he was still enjoying the comfort of his body and mind. Without the fatigue and anxiety of sleeping, his mind calmed down with his breathing, feeling the soft quilt on the bed and the harmonious sleepiness. It was as if he was the only one in the world, without any distractions. In this beautiful night, he enjoyed a peaceful good night and looked forward to a full spirit tomorrow.

In the early morning of Chengdu East Railway Station, the sky is slightly bright, and the morning light shines through the glass curtain wall, shining on the faces of passers-by, adding a touch of warmth to this steel-built behemoth. The station is brightly lit and crowded with people, and everyone's footsteps are calling to their destination.

The migrant workers dragged their heavy luggage, their faces were full of fatigue, but their eyes showed determination and expectation, which was their unremitting pursuit of the future and their deep longing for their hometown. In their conversations, there were discussions about work and greetings to their parents in their hometown from time to time, with a subtle tremor in their voices, which was the reluctance to leave their hometown.

Those who returned home were filled with unconcealed joy, as if the tickets in their hands had connected them to their homes thousands of miles away. They were either talking on the phone with their families or sharing their excitement about the upcoming reunion with their fellow villagers. Their laughter was mixed with tears of excitement of a long-awaited reunion, a deep call to their hometown.

It is different for tourists. There is curiosity and excitement in their eyes. They discuss the next itinerary while looking at the map. Their luggage is light and their steps are brisk. Every step seems to be stepping on the flowers in spring, and their hearts are full of longing for the unknown world.

In this bustling station, there are also hurried staff members, their figures shuttling among the crowd, patiently answering passengers' questions, adding a sense of orderliness to this busy morning.

The morning at Chengdu East Railway Station is a stage full of hope and farewell, reunion and departure. Everyone is a performer in this symphony of life, and they use their footsteps, words and expressions to compose a morning song that belongs to this city.

"Brother, are we really going to Leshan?"

At this moment, a voice appeared behind the boy who was wearing a mask and had not woken up yet.

"Yeah, of course I'll go. It's just like traveling. You bought the ticket too early!"

The man glanced at his phone in a daze and found that it was just a little after 8 o'clock. He had never gotten up so early except when he was working.

"Let's go, bro. Ticket checking is about to begin!"

"Let's go."

In another neighborhood, there is another scene.

The dawn in Chengdu wakes up leisurely like a fine thread brushing across the water. The sky is slightly pale, and a ray of sunlight shines through the clouds, gently sprinkled on the glazed tiles of the high-end residential area, flashing golden light. Crystal dew still hangs between the leaves, each one is like a pearl, shining in the rising sun.

On the stone bridge, an old man was practicing Tai Chi, his movements were gentle and powerful, blending in with the surrounding environment. In a pavilion not far away, several middle-aged women were talking happily, their laughter was crisp, intertwined with the chirping of morning birds, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

In the flowerbed, colorful flowers compete with each other for beauty, releasing their freshest fragrance of the day. A clear stream meanders through, the gurgling stream adds a touch of agility to this quiet morning.

On the road in the community, several young people were jogging while listening to music. Their figures were stretched out in the morning sunshine, showing their vigorous spirit. A mother played football with her child on the grass, their laughter was full of love and expectation for life.

Every scene here is so harmonious and vivid. From the quaint pavilions to the tree-lined paths, they all reveal a kind of elegance and tranquility. This morning, this high-end residential area in Chengdu is like an exquisite painting, intoxicating and yearning.

Li Cheng was jogging on the tree-lined path in the community. He was wearing simple sportswear, and his T-shirt was soaked with sweat, but it showed off his muscular physique. Suddenly, several residents who were doing morning exercises recognized him, and their surprised shouts broke the tranquility of the early morning.

"Look, that's Li Cheng!"

“Really? Why is he running here?”

"You're so handsome, can I take a photo with you?"

Facing the sudden attention, Li Cheng was not panicked, but showed a gentle smile. He stopped and politely greeted the fans, and he never refused the requests for taking photos. The flash of the camera flickered frequently in the morning sun, and the faces of the fans were filled with excitement and satisfaction.

“Thank you for your support, everyone take care of yourself.”

Li Cheng's voice was kind and sincere.

In this brief exchange, we can feel Li Cheng's approachable temperament, without the slightest airs. His smile is like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, making the fans feel warm. Although he may have been accustomed to such scenes, his attitude towards everyone seems to be extremely serious and grateful. (End of this chapter)
