Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

At dawn, the sky of Chengdu was dyed a light orange-red. Inside the terminal of Tianfu International Airport, the crowds of people were surging, like a vibrant painting. The intermittent broadcast of flight information on the radio, intertwined with the hurried footsteps, formed a symphony of modern travel.

In the VIP lounge of the airport, Li Cheng and Tian Xiwei sat next to each other, their eyes met in the steam of the coffee cups, and then moved away at the same time. Their fingers were tightly clasped, as if resisting the impending separation. The clock in the hall was ticking, and every second seemed to be counting down the last time they were together.

Tian Xiwei's eyes were slightly red, and she tried to hide her reluctance with a smile, but that smile seemed extremely fragile. Li Cheng gently stroked her hair, his eyes revealing endless tenderness and deep attachment.

Outside the hall, through the French windows, you can see planes taking off and landing, drawing elegant arcs in the morning glow, just like hurried passers-by in the early morning. Li Cheng and Tian Xiwei are also about to become passers-by at this airport. Their story comes to an end here, with their hearts filled with expectations for the future and helplessness about separation.

As the boarding reminder sounded in the hall, the two knew that the moment of separation was inevitable. They stood up and hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to keep each other's breath and this warm time in each other's arms forever. Finally, on this morning in Chengdu, Tian Xiwei resolutely embarked on the journey, while Li Cheng stayed where he was, watching his back gradually go away.

Li Cheng stood at the door of the lounge wearing sunglasses, looking at the car going farther and farther away in the distance, his eyes seemed to be firmly locked on Tian Xiwei's figure, unwilling to move away even a little bit. His eyes were full of deep attachment, and a feeling of reluctance surged in his heart, as if the car was taking his soul away.

His eyes became particularly bright when the car left, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope, but was ruthlessly pulled away. He sighed softly, and it seemed that even his breathing was a little heavy. At this moment, his thoughts involuntarily returned to the happy moment when he had just got engaged.

He remembered Tian Xiwei's smiling face, her gentle eyes, and her promise that haunted him. It all seemed to have happened just yesterday, but the reality was that they were about to be separated for a while, which made him extremely painful and reluctant.

Li Cheng's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, with a slight white color appearing between his knuckles, as if he had to grab something to calm his inner anxiety. He lowered his head slightly, staring at his hands, feeling the softness coming from his fingertips. It seemed that the warm touch of those hands could soothe his inner anxiety.

His thoughts seemed to extend to infinity at this moment, imagining the day when they would meet again. Li Cheng imagined Tian Xiwei walking out of the airport with a smile, and he went to meet her, and they hugged each other tightly. At that moment, their hearts would blend together again, making them forget the pain of separation.

Li Cheng took a deep breath, as if to turn all his reluctance into strength. He knew that this separation was only temporary, and the love between them would be engraved in each other's hearts and become their motivation to persevere.

He gazed at the distant sky, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Xiaotian turned her back to the door of the lounge, tears in her eyes, not daring to stare at Li Cheng who was walking away in the distance. Her eyes were full of attachment, but she knew that for the sake of her career development, she had to leave. She kept wiping away the tears on her face, but she couldn't hide her reluctance.

She sighed softly, her eyes became especially gentle. As if time was frozen by her eyes, she turned back and quietly stared at the increasingly blurred figure, as if she was enjoying Li Cheng's handsome face. Although the distance had been pulled away, she could feel Li Cheng's warm gaze in the wind. In that gaze, there was endless affection and nostalgia.

Her heart was like a wild horse, unable to stop at the moment of parting. Frame after frame of memories emerged in her mind, she recalled every bit of her recent time with Li Cheng, those sweet laughter, gentle hugs and kisses, as if reappearing before her eyes. She remembered the time they spent together, and every warm moment was deeply engraved in her heart.

The tears in her eyes flickered, as if they were about to fall, but she swallowed them back stubbornly, fearing that she would reveal her inner fragility. She tried to keep smiling, but the reluctance between her brows and the struggle of her heart could not be hidden. Her lips were slightly pursed, and a dim light suddenly burst out in her eyes, projecting a deep affectionate power.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that this was for their common future and for Li Cheng to better realize his dream. She was willing to sacrifice her own happiness and silently protect him, even though she had left his side.

Xiaotian's figure gradually walked away, her steps were three steps back, as if trying to pull back the pulse of time, her eyes looked back at Li Cheng from time to time, full of expectations for the future and deep longing. She hoped that no matter how difficult the separation was, their feelings could be strengthened by the baptism of time and continue to bloom their beauty.

However, what the two did not know was that in the VIP lounge, a fan of Li Cheng and Tian Xiwei had tears in her eyes. She held her phone and rushed to record this unforgettable scene. The light was soft, and the figures of the two stars were particularly eye-catching in the fan's camera. Their eyes met, and the deep reluctance between them seemed to freeze the air, making everyone present feel the same.

Li Cheng's eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he wanted to smile, but mixed with endless sadness. Tian Xiwei pursed her lips tightly, and crystal tears rolled in her eyes. The way she tried to hold back her tears was like a flower swaying in the wind, but always strong and unyielding.

The fan secretly pressed the shutter, but no click sound appeared. She was moved by the true feelings of the star couple and couldn't bear to miss any details. Then, she quickly uploaded these precious photos and videos to the Internet, with an indescribable feeling, wanting to share this touching moment with the world.

On the Internet, this work quickly caused a sensation like a stone that caused ripples. The affectionate gaze in the photo and the reluctant embrace in the video became the focus of discussion. Fans left messages on social platforms to express their support and blessings for the celebrity couple, while also sharing their own feelings, allowing the touching parting to spread on the Internet.

"It's different after getting engaged. Li Cheng's eyes turned gentle again when he looked at Xiao Tian."

'The moment Li Cheng and Xiao Tian separated, I cried too'

'It turns out that when celebrities break up in long-distance relationships, they are just like us'

'Oh my god, please stop doing this to me, okay? I just woke up and saw my crush crying at the airport'

"These few days are the few times the two of them get together, and Xiaotian has been with Li Cheng the whole time."

"Li Cheng's competition ended yesterday, and the two of them will go their separate ways the next day."

"I won't have a long distance relationship anymore, it's too cruel"

'.'

There are good voices on the Internet, and there are definitely bad voices.
"You're really good at acting, you're worthy of being an actor"

"What? You're just selling your image after losing the game?"

'Look at you, bitch.'

'Cry, cry, cry, you've been crying all these two days'

"Can you please not let me see you two?"

'A sports student and a society girl, a perfect match'

'.'

When Li Cheng’s fans saw these black fans, they immediately sounded the horn of attack.

Li Cheng had no idea about all this. He and Fan Chengcheng had already boarded a plane to Ningbo.
-
The midday sun shines on Ningbo, a city where modernity and ancient charm interweave. The golden light seems to light up every bluestone slab and every winding alley. The quaint buildings on both sides of the street look particularly warm in the sun, as if telling a thousand-year story. In the distance, modern high-rise buildings stand against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, showing the vigor of the city's booming development.

In the traffic on the streets and alleys, people's faces are filled with satisfied and happy smiles. They are either rushing to the next destination or leisurely enjoying the afternoon. Occasionally, a mother holding her child's hand passes by a small shop selling oil-paper umbrellas. The window displays a variety of colorful umbrellas, which make people stop and admire.

Deep in the alley, the melody of Jiangnan minor tunes came, which was melodious and graceful, forming a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the surroundings. Beside the small bridge and flowing water, the elderly sat together, playing chess or chatting, a peaceful and happy scene. Young people were sitting in the open-air seats outside the cafe, typing out the blueprint of their future life on their computers, and the aroma of coffee was intertwined with the warm summer breeze.

Ningbo's noon is a harmonious unity of movement and stillness, a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. Amid the hustle and bustle of traffic, people are busy and orderly, showing the prosperity and vitality of this city. In those quiet lanes and alleys, you can seem to hear the footsteps of history and feel the city's profound cultural heritage.

In such an afternoon, Ningbo is not just a place, but also an attitude towards life, a symbol of peace and prosperity. Every scene and every smiling face under the sun are the most vivid footnotes of this city.

Hotels
"Brother, hurry up, it's too late."

As soon as Li Cheng entered the hotel room, he heard Xiao Wang's panicked voice.

"Hurry up and take out your computer, go into the meeting room, and turn off the lights!"

Li Cheng quickly stopped Xiao Wang’s girlfriend who was about to turn on the whitening light.

"Go in bro, they've already started."

The voices of Qin Lan, Zhao Zhaoyi, Xin Zhilei and others were heard on Xiao Wang’s mobile phone.

Today is the day they are recording the last episode of "Flowers in the Sky". Although it has ended, Mango TV saw that it was so popular and there were many requests from netizens, so all the cast members except Dilraba Dilmurat were present for the last episode.

"Cheng Cheng is coming in!"

Qin Lan immediately saw Li Cheng putting on a hat and taking off a mask. "Hello, sorry, I'm late."

Li Cheng quickly clasped his hands together, stood up and bowed deeply to the camera.

"Did you just get off the plane?"

Xin Zhilei saw Li Cheng's haggard appearance and asked based on the news she had seen before.

"Well, we just arrived at the hotel. Everyone is here."

Li Cheng did not deny it either.

"Here he is"

"Brother~"

"Hello hello"

On the screen, Qin Lan kept giving everyone a heart, Qin Hailu looked doting, and Zhao Zhaoyi was eating.

"Here we go! Let's begin!"

Xiao Hu then turned into a host and said, "Dear audience friends, dear members of Matou TV, old and new friends, hello, welcome to the "Flowers and Youths" group to watch the finale! I am Xiao Hu, Hu Xianxu, who is happy to bring you happiness and company. I am always online! Good afternoon, everyone!"

"good afternoon!"

'bang bang bang'

At this time, there was a knock on Li Cheng's door. The person on the phone couldn't hear it clearly, but the people in the hotel heard it clearly.

"eat"

Before the person at the door could finish speaking, Xiao Wang immediately stretched out a finger to cover the other person's mouth.

"Brother Chengcheng, my brother is recording and watching with me."

Xiao Wang immediately explained to Fan Chengcheng.

"Oh, can I go in and take a look?"

Fan Chengcheng's mind is no longer on eating, but on recording and watching the show together.

"Okay, brother, but please don't talk."

After listening to this, Fan Chengcheng made an OK gesture.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard Qin Lan's voice: "First, let us welcome our eldest sister, Qin Hailu, with warm applause!"

Li Cheng felt someone coming over, and when he turned around, he saw it was Fan Chengcheng, and was startled.

Fan Chengcheng chuckled, but made no sound, nor did he appear in the camera. He just lay on the table nearby and watched.

Everyone in the conference room also saw the change in Li Cheng's expression. They were all very curious and wanted to look into his phone to see if there was anything that surprised Li Cheng.

"Hello! Hello everyone."

Qin Hailu smiled and greeted the camera, and was also greeting her younger brothers and sisters whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Third sister! Xin Zhilei!"

"Hello, everyone!"

Xin Zhilei had a little bit of idol baggage at this time and was very serious.

"Sister Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhaoyi!"

Zhao Zhaoyi also waved her hands and greeted the camera.

"With my eldest brother Li Cheng!"

"hello!"

When Li Cheng heard the voice, he immediately stretched out his hands, leaned forward and greeted.

Fan Chengcheng was watching it clearly from the side, and he still said that he was not conspicuous. He even had to tuck his head in.

"As for me, I would like to ask for a leave from everyone. I am still in the crew and filming right now. There is a small possibility that I may leave early. When the time comes, please ask my sister Lei, that is, our dear teacher Xin Zhilei, to continue to host the show for me. Thank you very much."

After Xiao Hu finished speaking, he also clasped his hands together.

Xin Zhilei made an OK gesture. These were topics that everyone had discussed in the group. They also knew that Li Cheng had just arrived at the hotel because Li Cheng sent a message in the group as soon as he got off the plane.

"Everyone has been very busy since we came back. I know that my eldest sister is filming a movie recently, right? I also met Cheng Cheng."

Qin Lan turned the topic to her elder sister Qin Hailu.

"Yes, I'm in Yantai. I lived quite close to Cheng Cheng before, so I went to visit him in class."

Qin Hailu admitted it directly. After all, her visit to the set was a hot topic on the same day.

"Very good~"

Qin Lan is already shipping the couple at this time.

Fan Chengcheng looked at Li Cheng and smiled.

Li Cheng just ignored Fan Chengcheng's gaze. (End of this chapter)
