Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

On the night of the wrap party for the Jiuchongzi crew, lights dotted the quaint banquet hall like stars.

The laughter and joy of the crew members interweave into a moving symphony.

An update on the official Weibo account created ripples like waves, and the message of celebration quickly spread among fans. The emotion of joy spread like vines, tightly wrapping around every expectant heart.

The author of the novel stood in the corner of the banquet, raised his glass with a smile, his eyes shining with recognition of the actors' hard work.

Every time they sweated profusely, every time they recited lines day and night, at this moment, turned into fruitful applause and smiles.

Fans are discussing this hotly online. Their words are filled with longing for the broadcast of Jiu Chong Zi. Their love for the characters in the drama is like a burning flame. They are looking forward to the drama bringing new touches.

Fans of Li Cheng and Meng Jie are even more impatient. Their words are full of anticipation for the two to work together again. They hope that Jiuchong Zi can become another phenomenal work.

However, not all voices are harmonious. The fans of Dafeng Night Watchman have different expectations in their hearts. Their mood is like the calm sea before the storm, with undercurrents surging. The call for Li Cheng is like the whisper in the wind. They are eager for him to join the crew again and present another masterpiece for them.

On this night, the crew of Jiuchongzi is like a sailboat about to set sail, carrying everyone's expectations and dreams, ready to sail to the unknown shore.

And those different voices have become an indispensable part of this journey. They remind the crew that at all times, their efforts and choices touch the hearts of countless people.

Li Cheng's figure seemed a little hazy under the bright lights of the Jiuchongzi wrap-up banquet, and his eyes revealed the anticipation and excitement of reuniting with his lover.

The noise of the party seemed to be blocked out by his thoughts, and he only wanted to see his long-lost girlfriend as soon as possible.

After the banquet, he walked into the night. The neon lights flashed by like shooting stars, but the cars moved at a snail's pace, unable to satisfy the urgent desire in his heart.

The street scene passed by like a phantom, but his thoughts flew far away, to the streets of Shanghai, where his girlfriend might be waiting for him in some corner.

He did not tell his girlfriend any information about his return date. He wanted to give her an unexpected joy, let the surprise be like a sudden spring breeze blowing across her face, so that she would feel his love as strong as before in surprise.

The wheels rubbed against the ground, making a monotonous and persistent sound, as if it was the rhythm of his heartbeat, rapid and firm. His mood became more and more enthusiastic in the night of this bustling city. Amid the flashing neon lights, his eyes were firm and distant, as if he could travel thousands of miles and touch that familiar and warm embrace.

Shanghai, a modern city with tall buildings, flashing neon lights and busy traffic, is a completely different world from the current state of mind. But in his heart, every corner of Shanghai has the shadow of his girlfriend. He longs to embrace her again and relive the quiet sweetness of the two in the hustle and bustle of this city.

Finally, the car slowly drove into the deep night of Shanghai, and his heartbeat accelerated. He knew that soon, he would step into a world full of surprises, and turn the joy of reunion and the love hidden deep in his heart into hugs and kisses, and give them to his beloved woman.

The business car sped along the highway towards Shanghai like a shooting star in the night. Although Li Cheng was exhausted after the party, the thought of reuniting with his girlfriend instantly dissipated his fatigue. He did not urge the driver to speed up, knowing that safety was more important than anything else. The lights in the car were soft, and as the road went up and down, Li Cheng's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the night view outside the window.

The night was like a curtain, with stars twinkling in the sky. The trees on both sides of the road cast uneven and mottled shadows under the illumination of car lights. Occasionally, one or two cars passed by from the opposite direction, and their lights left a series of flowing light spots on Li Cheng's retina. The breeze blew in through the slightly opened car window, bringing a hint of night coolness, and also seemed to bring the girlfriend's whispers.

Li Cheng's eyes reflected the prosperity and tranquility of the outside world. The village in the distance was flickering with sparse lights, like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle. Occasionally, the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance, and the light music in the car added a bit of vitality to this quiet night.

The trees along the road gradually became sparse, and the fields seemed wider in the night, like a piece of pure land in this busy world. Li Cheng's heart raced with the speed of the car, full of anticipation for the upcoming meeting, and this emotion made the continuous night scene even more moving.

He gently closed his eyes, letting his tiredness go with the wind, his heart filled with thoughts of his girlfriend. The night was no longer simply dark, but a colorful passage to happiness.

The afterglow of the banquet had just faded away, and Meng Ziyi was walking through the sparsely attended hall, eagerly searching for that familiar figure.

Li Cheng, the man who could always sense her emotions at the first moment, was like a gust of wind at this moment, gently passing by without leaving any trace. A sense of inexplicable loss surged in her heart, as if the prosperity of the banquet had nothing to do with her.

Her assistant finally found her, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes, and said softly: "Sister Meng, Brother Chengcheng has already taken a car to Shanghai."

Meng Ziyi nodded slightly. She knew in her heart that Li Cheng went to Shanghai to visit his girlfriend, who was also Meng Ziyi's good friend.

She envied the happiness of being deeply loved by Li Cheng, but she had to admit that such a man would only make women yearn for him more.

The glory of the banquet gradually faded away. Meng Ziyi stood in the deserted hall, but her heart was surging. She thought of Li Cheng's gentle smile and his eyes that could always see through her heart. At this moment, his eyes might be looking at another woman gently, and Meng Ziyi could only taste the envy and regret that could not be expressed in her own world.

The night in Shanghai is like a bright gem inlaid on black silk, with brilliant lights and radiant light. The lights of the skyscrapers are connected into a line, like stars, reflecting on the surface of the Huangpu River, sparkling and dreamy. The neon lights on both sides of the street change colors from time to time, and the red, blue and green lights are intertwined, creating a hazy atmosphere.

Late at night, the Bund is still crowded with tourists, some of them stop to admire the Oriental Pearl Tower on the other side of the river, some are busy taking pictures, their faces are filled with satisfaction and excitement. Groups of young men and women shuttle among them, some are arm in arm, some are shoulder to shoulder, and their low conversations reveal the breath of youth.

The music on the bar street is one after another, with strong rhythm and full of vitality.

The long queues in front of the doors prove the popularity of these nightclubs, where people are looking for an outlet to release stress and enjoy the passion and freedom of nightlife.

Li Cheng looked out the car window, looking at all this, with a hint of envy in his eyes. He knew that his identity as an actor limited him from integrating into such occasions like ordinary people and sharing the carefree happiness. However, the charm of Shanghai is not limited to the bustling bars. Not far away, the lights in the Jing'an Temple area are quiet and peaceful, in sharp contrast to the bustling Bund. The golden roof of the temple looks more solemn and mysterious under the reflection of the street lights. The people here are either believers or tourists. They walk slowly and have peaceful smiles on their faces.

It is this diverse charm that makes Shanghai a real "magic city". Whether it is a young person immersed in the night or a traveler seeking spiritual comfort, they can find their own corner in this city. And Li Cheng, although he envied the world outside the window, he also loved the inspiration and stories that this city brought him.

The Shanghai Theatre Academy is brightly lit at night, like a shining pearl inlaid in the night sky.

The snack street is bustling on weekends, and the aroma of various snacks interweaves in the air, arousing people's most primitive appetite. Handsome men and beautiful women shuttle between them, either in groups of three or five, or in pairs, their laughter and joy are accompanied by the breeze, gently brushing every young face.

Li Cheng stepped out of a black business car. He was tall and stood out even in the crowd.

He was wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, which revealed a calm temperament, as if the hustle and bustle around him had nothing to do with him.

His handsomeness attracted a lot of attention. Some girls even plucked up the courage to ask for their contact information, but Li Cheng always politely and firmly refused. His heart had already been attracted by the destination and he had no time to care about anything else.

The little red dot on the mobile phone map kept getting closer, and Li Cheng's pace gradually quickened. The bustle of the snack street gradually moved away from him, and his figure disappeared on a quiet path, leaving only a string of footprints that gradually faded in the night. The night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness and taking away the hustle and bustle of the day, leaving Li Cheng with a quiet night that belonged to him alone.

Next to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, amid the bustling crowd in the snack street, the laughter of Tian Xiwei and Xiao Lu was particularly eye-catching.

A small group of six people sat around a barbecue stall filled with the smell of smoke. The table was filled with skewers, pancakes and spicy hot pot. The aroma of the food and the surrounding hawking sounds intertwined to create a lively picture.

Tian Xiwei had a bright smile on her face. She was chatting with her college roommates. The topics ranged from campus fun to their work and life. The laughter was full of nostalgia for the past and longing for the future. She looked at the skewers of chili in her hand from time to time, and sometimes met the eyes of her roommates. The strings of shiny chili powder looked even more tempting under the reflection of the charcoal fire.

Xiao Lu seemed a little absent-minded, and her eyes drifted to the door of the barbecue restaurant from time to time. There, a tall figure caught her attention. It was a man wearing a black jacket and walking with firm steps. He seemed to feel Xiao Lu's gaze, looked down at his phone, then smiled and walked towards their table.

Xiao Lu gently picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message, which was her silent invitation to the man who was about to come. The man received the message, confirmed Xiao Lu's eyes, quickened his pace, walked through the crowd, and approached the table full of laughter and joy. The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and it seemed to be mixed with the secrets that were about to be revealed and the mood of anticipation.

Tian Xiwei and her roommates sat around a barbecue stall, the crackling of the charcoal fire and the sizzling of the food intertwined to create a warm picture. The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and the lamb skewers in Tian Xiwei's hands were steaming. She took a bite and her mouth was filled with the tenderness.

The sound of chatting and laughter floated in the air, and Tian Xiwei's eyes suddenly fixed on a figure wearing a mask in the distance. The figure was getting closer and closer, and the bouquet of flowers in her hand looked particularly dazzling under the light. Tian Xiwei's heartbeat accelerated, and her eyes shuttled back and forth between the bouquet of flowers and her best friend Xiao Lu's surprised face.

"Li Cheng?!"

Tian Xiwei's voice was full of disbelief, and her surprise was beyond words. She remembered that she had asked Li Cheng through a message not long ago when he would be back from filming, and he had clearly said that he would have to wait until the next day.

The roommates around him also noticed the sudden visitor and covered their mouths in surprise. Li Cheng, this name is a household name nowadays. His appearance is undoubtedly a heavy bomb that exploded in this ordinary night.

"Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?"

There was a hint of complaint in Tian Xiwei's tone, but more of it was sweetness and happiness.

Li Cheng gently took off his mask, revealing his signature smile, his eyes sparkling with doting and tenderness for his lover.

"I want to give you a surprise," he said, handing the bouquet to Tian Xiwei, "You always support me so much, I want to share it with you first at the most important moment."

Tian Xiwei took the bouquet and felt the warmth in her palms. It was Li Cheng's love and the emotion in her heart. The roommates around her sent their blessings, and the stars in the night sky seemed to be twinkling and celebrating the reunion of the couple.

Li Cheng appeared in the barbecue restaurant on the street, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, inconspicuous. He just sat down at the table, ready to enjoy an ordinary dinner. However, at this moment, a slight commotion broke the tranquility of the restaurant, and several young figures approached quietly with excited expressions.

“It’s Li Cheng!”

One of them exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes flashing with undisguised excitement.

Li Cheng, this name is well-known in Neiyu. His works are well-known to everyone, and his face is known to everyone. However, at this moment, he just wants to be an ordinary customer and enjoy the rare tranquility. He gently raised his hand, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, signaling fans not to make a fuss.

The fans understood instantly. They were all loyal supporters of Li Cheng, so they naturally understood their idol's intentions. A hint of understanding flashed across their faces, and then they became quiet, as if nothing had happened. There was no screaming, no crowding, only tacit silence.

Afterwards, in this tacit atmosphere, several fans and Li Cheng quietly took a group photo. They were careful not to disturb other customers or let other fans notice. The photo became a precious memory of their close contact with their idol.

Not only that, they also did not ignore Xiao Tian who was sitting next to Li Cheng. This actor who was also working hard on the road of acting was also Li Cheng's girlfriend and fiancée. They knew that respecting every artist was also another kind of support for Li Cheng. (End of this chapter)
