Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

"are you hungry?"

At this time, Li Cheng looked at Meng Ziyi who was standing aside.

"a little bit."

Sister Meng nodded.

"Let's go have a midnight snack?"

After Li Cheng finished speaking, Sister Meng's assistant pulled her.

Sister Meng turned to her assistant and said, "It's okay, don't worry, we won't be photographed."

Li Cheng heard Sister Meng's words and opened his mouth slightly. He couldn't help but twitch. He was really convinced.

Xiao Wang looked at Sister Meng and said, "Sister, shall we eat Haidilao?"

"Ah? Really? I haven't eaten Haidilao for a long time!"

When Sister Meng heard about going to Haidilao, her eyes lit up. She hadn't eaten Haidilao for a long time.

Li Cheng asked worriedly, "Are we going to eat in the restaurant or order takeout?"

"Let's go to the store. It's already past four o'clock. There shouldn't be that many people there, right?"

Sister Meng really wants to eat in the restaurant. She used to order takeout from Haidilao, which is nothing compared to eating in the restaurant.

"Okay, buddy, find one closer to the crew's hotel."

"Okay bro."

Xiao Wang will arrange it right away.

Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi walked on the quiet floor, picked up their luggage from the carousel, and walked towards the exit with fatigue from the day.

Their eyes passed through the empty arrival hall, and in the dim light, they suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusual crowd of people, crowded outside the departure gate. In the night, the fans' faces looked particularly enthusiastic.

Their hearts skipped a beat, and exhaustion was instantly replaced by panic.

Meng Ziyi tightened the luggage in her hands and subconsciously looked at Li Cheng. She saw that his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, and his expression revealed a barely perceptible tension.

The two looked at each other and tacitly quickened their pace, trying to quickly pass through the crowd and escape from the sudden attention.

However, the screams of the fans were like night owls, piercing their eardrums and making their steps even more hurried.

"Cheng Cheng!!!!!!"

"Cheng Cheng!!!!!!"

"It's really Li Cheng!!!!"

"Sure enough, you didn't lie to us!"

"Wow! There's also Sister Meng!"

"Oh my god, what luck!"

"Oh my God!"

"."

The camera flashes kept blinking like fireflies in the night, and the incessant shutter sounds were like ants chasing them, making them unable to find peace.

At this early hour in the morning, the airport, which should have been quiet, was like being struck by a thunderbolt, setting off a star frenzy.

Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi supported each other carefully, fearing that they would lose each other in the chaos.

In their eyes, besides nervousness, there is also trust and dependence on each other.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, they seemed to have found a piece of pure land that belonged to them.

Although the outside world is crazy about them, they have found their own quiet corner in this craze.

On the benches, tired travelers sat or lay down, immersed in the prelude to their own dreams.

Occasionally, the sound of luggage wheels rolling on the ground, like the whispers of the night, broke the silence of time and space.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps and excited noise, as if the heartbeat of the night suddenly accelerated.

Several young people were holding light signs and cameras, their faces filled with enthusiasm and excitement, their voices filled with anticipation and joy.

They shouted a name - "Li Cheng! Li Cheng!"

In a corner of the airport, someone woke up from his sleep, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

They looked around, trying to figure out the meaning behind the name.

When they learned that the extremely popular star Li Cheng was about to appear, they immediately became energetic and an inexplicable excitement surged in their hearts.

These people stood up quickly, some pulled their companions, some picked up the support items that had been prepared long ago, and moved towards the direction where the crowd gathered.

Their steps were hurried but full of anticipation.

There is a special atmosphere in the air, which is the enthusiasm and persistence unique to star-chasers.

As the crowd grew denser and the cheers grew louder, everyone could feel the emotion spreading.

Even those travelers who originally just wanted to rest quietly were involuntarily drawn into this night carnival.

There was also curiosity and excitement in their eyes, wanting to catch a glimpse of the star.

At this late night airport, different destinies are intertwined and everyone becomes a part of this unexpected feast.

This place is not only the starting point and end point of the journey, but also the place where dreams and reality meet.

At this moment, everyone is part of the story, and everyone is witnessing the most dazzling moment of the night.

Li Cheng saw more and more people gathered around him. It was early in the morning and there were not many airport staff. He could clearly see resentment on their faces. He clapped his hands and said, "Well, everyone, please keep quiet. Some passengers are resting. Please don't disturb them."

"it is good!"

"understand!"

"Ok!"

Sister Meng covered her chest and let out a breath. She was really scared to death. Fortunately, she was always following Li Cheng. She was almost knocked down by fans from both sides.

Li Cheng gave Xiao Wang a look, signaling him to quickly find the driver.

Xiao Wang left the scene immediately after receiving the signal. He was already used to these things, but just now there were too many people and he couldn't rush out.

"It's still the same old rules. Let's go outside and don't add burden to the staff. Sister Meng and I just came back from Taohuawu and we have to shoot tomorrow. I hope everyone will support our Jiuchongzi!"

After Li Cheng finished speaking, Sister Meng also started to open the business, saying with a smile: "Thank you for your love, and support our Taohuawu, but you must go to see our Jiuchongzi!"

"Sister Meng is so beautiful!"

A boy's voice was very obvious.

After hearing this, Sister Meng looked over, smiled shyly and said, "Thank you~"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The fans at the scene burst into laughter when they saw Sister Meng like this.

Everyone followed Li Cheng's footsteps and headed outside the airport.

Although the airport staff had resentful expressions at first, they were instantly relieved when they saw that Li Cheng and Sister Meng's fans were so obedient, and they looked at the two of them with a lot more favor.

After leaving the airport, fans of both sides split into two groups and each went to look for their own fans. "Cheng Cheng, are you going back to Northeast China to record Taohuawu this time?"

The fans couldn't help asking questions, and Li Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, everyone has seen the Reuters photos posted by Kou Jie, right?"

"I see!"

"I have to say it! It's really handsome!"

"Should I say it or not, Sister Kou is still the professional!"

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Also, I hope everyone will support Ningning's concert. Her group's concert is about to start. I hope everyone will support my sister."

"rest assured!"

"For Korean entertainment, we'll just follow Wa and Ningning!"

"Here I come to advertise for my sister again!"

"I almost forgot that Ning Yizhuo is your sister!"

"."

Li Cheng saw a familiar car coming and clapped his hands to the fans, saying, "The bus arranged by Xiao Wang will arrive soon. Sister Meng and I will leave first. Xiao Wang will arrange a car to take you home!" He turned around and said, "Girls must get home safely! If there are male fans pestering you, you must tell Xiao Wang!"

"what!"

"No buddy."

"Cheng Cheng, if you do this, I will become your anti-fan!"

"No, you."

"I'm so convinced!"

"."

Li Cheng didn't listen to what the male fans said and said to them: "We are all men, unless you say you are gay, I must be responsible for the safety of the female fans!"

"Yeah!"

"You are right!"

"You are such a full man that you don't know the hunger of a hungry man!"

"."

Li Cheng knows too well what these boys are thinking. They are all men, and everyone knows what these people mean. Moreover, many of the female fans who came this time are very good-looking!
A group of enthusiastic female fans gathered outside the airport. They had been waiting the night before in order to meet their idol Li Cheng.

Just now, Li Cheng's voice came slowly, neither hurried nor slow, and it sounded pleasant with a hint of coolness.

The female fans listened attentively. Li Cheng's voice was as clear as a bell, giving people a sweet feeling, as if a string of silver bells were ringing in their ears.

Li Cheng asked everyone to pay attention to safety and be careful of some male fans with bad intentions.

These words were like a spring breeze, warming the hearts of female fans.

They felt that Li Cheng cared for them, which made them like him even more.

Especially at this moment of around four in the morning, the faint dawn light and the quiet tranquility made this love permeate the air even more, as if a soft halo enveloped them.

There was joy and admiration in their eyes, and a feeling of happiness surged in their hearts.

These female fans could not forget Li Cheng's voice for a long time, which touched the softest part of their hearts.

On this morning, the anticipation and joy in their hearts were intertwined, as if at this moment, they had found their own guardian.

In the car
Sister Meng looked at Li Cheng in confusion and asked curiously, "How do you know that some male fans have bad intentions towards female fans?"

Li Cheng sneered and said, "Some of these guys are not my fans at all, they just come here to join in the fun. Didn't you notice which guys rub against the female fans when there are many people around? Ugh, that's disgusting."

He feels disgusted when he sees some of these behaviors, so disgusting!
Sister Meng opened her mouth wide. She really didn't pay attention, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

"These people have dirty thoughts in their heads. I don't know what they are thinking. It really destroys my worldview."

Li Cheng also saw some boys on dy who fawned over some young idols just to win over the female fans of these idols.

On the highway in the early morning, the stars are sparse and the moonlight is hazy.

A black business car was like a ghost in the night, silently shuttling through the endless darkness.

The car lights cut through the night sky, and the two beams of light seemed to embroider two silver tracks on the satin of the night.

Inside the car, the driver held the steering wheel attentively, his fingertips touching the buttons from time to time, and a calm female voice from the navigation system came out, guiding the road ahead.

On both sides of the highway, the outlines of trees and shoulders are looming in the night, and occasionally a few street lights illuminate the way ahead for commercial vehicles like night watchmen.

The car was moving at a steady and rapid speed, and the interior of the car was filled with the low hum of the tires rubbing against the ground, like a low hum of the night.

The wind whistled outside the car window, but the interior of the car was unusually quiet. Only the air conditioner occasionally made a slight noise, as if conversing with the tranquility of the night.

The car was filled with a faint smell of tobacco, the aftertaste of the cigarette the driver had lit to stay awake.

His eyes were determined. Although it was late at night, he was extremely focused and full of anticipation for the upcoming destination.

Haidilao is brightly lit in the early morning, forming a sharp contrast with the night.

The decoration inside the store is still lively and festive, with red lanterns hanging high and the wooden tables and chairs wiped clean and shiny.

Although it was late at night, the air was still filled with the aroma of hot pot. The richness of butter and the freshness of chili intertwined together made people salivate.

The fans were either sitting or lying down, immersed in dreams, some even had smiles on their faces, as if they were tasting the delicious food in their dreams.

The waiters walked among the sleeping customers with smiles on their faces and gentle movements, for fear of disturbing the guests' sleep.

They gently cover the customers with blankets and carefully adjust the positions of tables and chairs to allow customers to sleep more comfortably.

On this cold night, their attentive service was like the heat from the hot pot, warm and healing.

The music in the store is soft and warm, and it creates a homely atmosphere along with the customers' gentle breathing.

The waiters exchanged glances with each other and divided the work tacitly. Some prepared the ingredients, while others arranged the tableware. They were busy but organized.

Their serious attitude towards work and care for customers are particularly touching in this quiet night.

In the corner, a waitress was using her mobile phone to record the tranquility and beauty of this moment. Her eyes were full of tenderness, as if at this moment, she was not only a waitress, but also a guardian, guarding the fate of these tired bodies and taste buds.

The lighting at Haidilao is soft and warm. The moment Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi stepped into the store, they seemed to have become thieves of time, isolating the surrounding noise outside the door.

Their appearance, like a pair of unexpected surprises, broke the original tranquility of the restaurant.

In the corner, several young people were dozing off while immersed in the heat of the hot pot. The hot aroma and the spiciness of the chili made sweat break out on their foreheads.

Suddenly, an excited shout pierced the air, "It's Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi!" Their sleepiness immediately disappeared, and a hint of disbelief flashed in their eyes.

Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi had gentle smiles on their faces. Their eyes swept across every table, and every eye contact was full of sincerity.

Although these young people are not their avid fans, they cannot hide the shock they feel when they see the real stars up close.

"Hi there!"

Li Cheng waved and greeted him, his voice friendly.

Meng Ziyi followed closely behind, bowed slightly, and smiled brightly and sincerely.

Their friendly actions made everyone present feel warm, as if the distance between stars and fans was shortened to be extremely close at this moment.

The sound of the boiling hot pot was still noisy, but at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on these two stars.

Li Cheng and Meng Ziyi shuttled through the crowd, shaking hands and taking photos with everyone. Their enthusiasm melted the unfamiliarity around them, making this Haidilao night particularly memorable. (End of this chapter)
