Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

Li Cheng raised his head slightly, staring at the sky in the distance, with a bright smile in his sight. He stared at the colorful clouds in the distance, and his eyes turned red, as if he recalled the years of waiting and persistence. He took a breath gently, and exhaled with a tremor of excitement.

He recites stories with a loud and gentle voice, as pleasant as the sound of flowing water. His voice is crisp and deep, and every word is like ripples in the air, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. He uses delicate sentences and ups and downs of emotions to show the twists and turns of love, as if bringing people into a romantic and hopeful world.

Li Cheng's voice became loud and powerful, as if he was describing the courage and determination of their love. He recalled those moments of perseverance and dedication, and his voice was loud and heroic, as if conveying an indestructible power. His voice was as sonorous and powerful as a bell, embodying his persistence and pursuit of love.

When he described the moment when the two met, his voice gradually became soft and gentle, as if he was describing a beautiful dream. His voice was like the sound of an oriole, sweet and moving, which made people feel sympathy and resonance. His voice was soft and gentle, exuding a kind of warm power, soothing the loneliness and anxiety in people's hearts.

Li Cheng's voice softened, as if he was describing the moment when the two supported each other, and every word was full of affection. His voice was clear and full, as if he was savoring that sincere love. His voice was focused, and every word was filled with deep longing and nostalgia.

When he described the scene of the two people talking to each other, his voice became full of emotion and excitement, as if he was describing two hearts that were attracted to each other. His voice was pleasant to the ears, as if he was describing the whole world being quiet, with only the sound of the two people talking to each other. His voice conveyed tenderness and sweetness, making people intoxicated, unconsciously following the plot of the story, enjoying the deep love.

Finally, Li Cheng recounted the moment they came together in a joyful and calm voice. His voice was full of joy and satisfaction, as if he was describing a miraculous journey. His voice was clear and powerful, as if he was announcing the victory of love and the perfection of emotion.

Li Cheng's voice gradually became lower, like a breeze blowing past his ears. He stared into the distance, his eyes flashing with determination. He used his voice to show his sincere emotions, leading people into that beautiful love story, as if everyone could feel the deep affection and perseverance.

Zhou Jieqiong and Lu Yuxiao were very envious when they heard about Li Cheng's pursuit of Xiaotian. Unlike the boys who pursued them, they were all talk and chat but never took any action.

Guan Xiaotong is not too envious because Lu Ge is also very good to her, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to film a TV series.

"But to be honest, I have to thank Bailu and Daxun for catching up with Xiaotian. They put in a lot of effort."

When Li Cheng recounted the story, he thought of the scene of that day. Without Bai Lu and Wei Daxun, Xiao Tian might not have come.

"And Brother Bai."

Immediately afterwards, Li Cheng added another sentence.

Guan Xiaotong listened and said from another perspective: "You didn't go to Hengdian to film a movie, you went there mainly to chase after girls!"

"Not really. It just so happened that Xiaotian was filming there, and I had just finished recording Running Man. The three of us chatted in the car, and as we talked, Bailu and Daxun arranged for Xiaotian and Baige to go out together in the evening."

Li Cheng quickly denied it. He was fully focused on his career at the time, but he didn't expect Xiaotian to be there too. If you see a girl you like, wouldn't you chase after her?

"Actually, I envy you two, you were together when you were both unknown."

Guan Xiaotong felt a little lonely after saying this.

Zhou Jieqiong and Lu Yuxiao understood immediately after hearing it, but they didn't know what to say since they were not familiar with Lu Han.

Fan Chengcheng raised his eyebrows.

Li Cheng immediately picked up the drink in his hand and said, "It's all in the past. Just keep going. Why keep thinking about other things? It's not like someone else is with you."

"Too"

Guan Xiaotong picked up the wine glass in front of her.

"Here, cheers"

"cheers!"

Lu Yuxiao and Zhou Jieqiong looked at each other while drinking. They both envied Guan Xiaotong. After all, Lu Han officially announced her when she was at the peak of her popularity! Although she was cyberbullied or something, who wants to keep having an underground relationship?

As night fell, the hotel room was surrounded by a layer of dark tranquility. The faint light seeped out from the floor lamp cover and projected onto the exquisite carpet. The golden weft flickered faintly in the dimness. The neon lights outside the window shone through the heavy curtains, leaving only a few scattered colors dotted in the corners of the room.

Li Cheng sat on the bed, his face was illuminated by the blue light of the mobile phone screen, which made it look a little distorted. He was talking to the live camera, but the fatigue and perfunctory tone almost overflowed the screen. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room was growing, but their interaction was unusually quiet, and the occasional bullet comments were like shooting stars in the night sky, fleeting.

The clock in the room made a small but clear ticking sound, and each tick seemed to be timing every boring moment. Li Cheng's fingers tapped the edge of the phone unconsciously. It was his anxious little movement, and it was also the best annotation of the boring content of this live broadcast. The French window next to the sofa swayed gently, and a cool breeze passed through the gap in the curtains, bringing up a strand of hair and gently brushing his cheek.

The whole room was filled with a kind of static tranquility, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city outside. However, Li Cheng's eyes revealed a hint of desire, a desire to escape from this established, repetitive performance and experience some real and unpretentious fragments of life. His voice became lower and lower, and finally paused, as if even breathing had become boring.

Suddenly, the comments in the live broadcast room became more lively, but with them came the urging and dissatisfaction of the audience, asking him to make more interesting interactions. Li Cheng forced a smile and continued this meaningless performance to him. The silence of the room and the hustle and bustle of the live broadcast room formed a strange coexistence. Only Li Cheng's mood, like a ghost trapped in this silence, could not escape this boring cage.

"Hey, stop hitting Xiaotian, she's working at BJ, if you ask me to call her again I'll go off the air."

"Fan Chengcheng, did you bring your computer? Let's play a few games."

"I'll play the game for a while, okay? You guys keep talking about calling Xiaotian, I'm really fed up with you guys, can you please have some sense of propriety and give each other some space instead of being stuck together all day long?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I speak harshly."

"I'll stop streaming for a while. I'll go get the computer and start streaming."

After Li Cheng returned to the hotel and called Xiaotian but no one answered, he sat on the bed and started a dy live broadcast. It was really boring. Guan Xiaotong, Zhou Jieqiong and others went for beauty treatments. He and Fan Chengcheng came back first. The sisters were getting together to talk about their inner thoughts, and they, two grown men, couldn't follow them.

"Come on, come on, stop sending private messages."

The moment Li Cheng opened the live broadcast on his computer, the live broadcast room immediately became 10W+, and the barrage of comments was so fast that he couldn't see clearly.

"Well, play Valorant, a game that Penguin Dad just released in China. Anyone interested can go and play it."

"Yes, I am the spokesperson for this game."

"I'm only from China. I don't know if they've found anyone from abroad."

Li Cheng hid the desktop, clicked on YY, and saw that Fan Chengcheng's account was already there. He said, "Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you. Let's just play ranked games?"

Fan Chengcheng replied very promptly. He was already playing games when he came back.

"Okay, you invite me."

'Oh my god, are these two really live streaming their game?'

'No wonder Chen He said Li Cheng is also an internet addict'

"What kind of game is this Valorant?"

'Penguin? When was it released?'

"The same company as League of Legends? Oh my god, when will they release a new game?"

'It has been out for several years abroad, but it was just released in China this year'

'.'

"Big Chengzi, how about we just play in a duo?"

Fan Chengcheng swallowed his saliva when he looked at Li Cheng's mung bean rank. He didn't expect that Li Cheng had no time to play games or was extraordinary.

"What's the matter? I can't take you with me? I haven't played much this season, but I've already set a level. I'll see if I can take you to Extraordinary in the next two days."

Li Cheng also saw Fan Chengcheng’s Diamond II rank. He really didn’t expect Fan Chengcheng to reach Diamond.

"Hey, hey, hey, Valorant officials, don't transfer money to me. We have already settled the endorsement fees." Li Cheng looked at the transfer information transmitted on the tablet and immediately said to the live broadcast room.

"What? Did I send you money?"

Fan Chengcheng was eating fruit salad in the room, but when he heard Li Cheng's words, he suddenly felt that the food was not tasty anymore.

"Well, I closed the reward function, so he transferred the money to me."

Li Cheng did not open the WeChat on the tablet, but clicked on the four big words "Start the Game".

"Oh my god, I'm here too, you can't just take care of him alone."

Fan Chengcheng quickly started to speak.

"Boss, you are so generous! Thank you, boss!"

As soon as Fan Chengcheng finished speaking, he saw a message on his mobile phone that a transfer had been initiated to him.

"If you don't have rewards, will you give out lucky bags? Give some skins to your fans, and we'll pay for it."

Li Cheng saw the message on WeChat, looked towards the live broadcast room, and asked, "Well, the sponsor said he would give some benefits to the fans, draw a few lucky bags, and give everyone some skins."

"Fuck! Is this true?"

"Oh my god, this star is so different from the anchor's live broadcast, he gives away skins as soon as he comes on?"

"Really? I'm kidding!"

'I can't bear to buy the newly released Monkey King set'

'That's great, I should be a fan of Li Cheng, there are benefits for male fans'

'I also want to buy a set for my boyfriend, so I can save money'

'I'm crying, I don't play games, can I get a discount?'

"Li Cheng, is Xiaotian with you?"

'Stop playing games and chat with us'

'.'

After Li Cheng chose Jett, he communicated with the official and was given 100 sets of Monkey King suits.

"Well, after I finish this game, the sponsor said he would give away 100 sets of Monkey King suits. Let's give away 10 or 20 sets after we finish this game. The chance of winning will be higher. Don't give away sets in batches of five or five, and don't limit it to 100 sets. Give away until I get off the air!"

Li Cheng saw that the government only gave 100 sets, which was just over 50,000 yuan. What kind of benefit was this?

"did you buy it?"

Fan Chengcheng raised the crucial issue at this time.

"I haven't bought it yet. I haven't used up all the points I charged for the previous internal test. I'll buy it after I finish this game."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he found that he had entered the loading page. This time he was fighting against Yahai Xuancheng.

He played Jett, and Fan Chengcheng played the nurse, who was specially chosen to heal Li Cheng. Fan Chengcheng was already prepared to win without any effort.

Many fans in the live broadcast room don’t understand what Li Cheng is playing, but they are already planning to get into it because the picture quality is pretty good.

"Fuck, why is Li Cheng so cool?"

"I thought his extraordinary level was from a power leveler, this is pure bullshit."

"Fan Chengcheng is so funny. He just gives his skills to Li Cheng and doesn't give them to others."

"But I have to say, there is something special about Fan Chengcheng's ice wall."

'Li Chengjett is so skilled, and you can tell from his position control that he is not a local. He is so strong, and most importantly, accurate!'

"It turns out that not only my boyfriend plays this game, but Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng also play it together."

'This game seemed to have just been released this year. It was very popular at the time. I played it for a while, but I didn't understand it. My boyfriend said I was looking at the ground while walking.'

'.'

"Easily take it down!"

Li Cheng looked at the settlement screen. He had killed 35 people and died 15 times. His score of 315 plus the extra points for MVP only added 18 points!
"Why did you only get 18 points? I got 25 points."

Fan Chengcheng went out and took a look at Li Cheng's record. The points added were a bit too little.

"It's the trigger mechanism. If you were extraordinary, I would have added more."

Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders. It didn't matter. He was already used to this bonus mechanism.

"That's it. I'm already in Diamond III. If I can win every time, I'll be fine."

Fan Chengcheng's record was not bad either. The victory in the first game was entirely due to him and Li Cheng being the C. The three random teammates were all mute. Even though Li Cheng shouted hard and no one said anything even after he got a pentakill.

'The domestic environment is really bad. All three teammates of Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng are bots.'

"Yes, I didn't report anything and didn't talk at all."

"Li Cheng got a five-kill endgame and no one encouraged him except Fan Chengcheng."

"It's like this in China. Try the Tianjin node. It's full of pressure monsters."

"Luckily they were playing in a duo, if they hadn't said a word I think Li Cheng would have quit after only a few games."

"But I have to say, Li Cheng's operation and awareness are really something. I feel like I have learned a lot."

'He's a pure fish fryer, not a local. I just checked and found out that he stopped playing after reaching Mythic last season, and then reached Arcane when the server was first launched.'

'No, isn't he an actor and an athlete? How can he still have time to play games?'

'.'

Li Cheng and Fan Chengcheng played until 11 o'clock in the evening. They played eight or nine games and lost three. Li Cheng deducted more points than he added, but in the end, Fan Chengcheng was brought to the extraordinary level one, and Li Cheng was extraordinary level two or three, which was considered a move up a level.

The two chatted with the audience for a while before it started to rain. After all, they had work to do the next day and couldn't keep broadcasting live. They weren't anchors, they just had nothing to do and chatted with netizens. (End of this chapter)
