Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

"You're outside?"

Li Cheng, who was in the car, saw on his phone that Xiaotian was not at home.

Xiaotian immediately turned the camera around and took a look inside the house, saying, "Yes, I'm having dinner with Sister Xueqin, Brother Di, and Brother Maomao."

"Hello!"

"hello!"

"hi!"

Before Li Cheng could say anything, Xiao Tian heard from the other party's phone: "Ah! Xueqin!!!!"

"Sister Meng!"

Li Xueqin was very familiar with this shout.

When Meng Ziyi tried to grab Li Cheng's phone, the latter quickly put the phone on his chest and said, "If you want to chat with Sister Xueqin, use your phone. I'm talking on the phone with my fiancée."

Bai Lu in the car heard this and laughed secretly.

Sister Meng gave Li Cheng a big eye roll and said, "Stingy."

Li Cheng ignored Sister Meng and turned the camera towards himself, asking, "What did you eat?"

"We had roast duck today. Are you tired from recording today?"

"Not bad. I'm on my way to get some midnight snack too. Brother Chen will treat us to some later."

As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, Mao Buyi said to Xiao Tian: "Please ask Cheng Cheng when he is free. I will go to Zhejiang later and I will treat him to a meal."

"okay."

"?"

Li Cheng was confused, and Xiaotian said, "Brother Maomao asked when you are free. He will go to Zhejiang to record a program in a while, and he wants to treat you to a meal."

Li Cheng knew what was going on immediately. He waved his hand and said, "Tell Brother Maomao that we are just friends. It's too formal."

"No, you still have to invite me. I'll send you a message when the time comes."

Mao Buyi heard it carefully and explained each thing separately.

"Okay, when you finish recording the show, send me a message. I'll be here for quite a while."

"okay."

Li Cheng also understood what Mao Buyi meant. After all, favors are the hardest to repay.

"Who else will be the guest this time besides Sister Meng?"

"And our eldest sister Cai Wenjing. They are the only two guests this time."

Before Xiaotian could say anything, Bai Lu, who was silent in the front, opened the car door and said, "We're here."

"Then I won't talk to you for now. You can have dinner with Sister Xueqin and the others. I'll call you if I get home early in the evening."

"Okay, drink less."

"Well then, don't worry."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

'唔'

Li Cheng followed Bai Lu and Sister Meng to the private room of the hotel.

BJ
"Cheng Cheng is good at this. He will report to you at any time."

Mao Buyi really feels that Li Cheng is different from other young people. After all, with Li Cheng's looks, there is no one in Neiyu who doesn't have a lot of fun with him. Li Cheng is really rare.

"Clingy."

Although Oda said this, the uncontrollable smile on her face betrayed her.

"Put your smile back first. Look how happy you are. Smile if you want to."

Yang Di was a little speechless.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

Oda couldn't help it, she was really happy that her boyfriend was not promiscuous and didn't have any relationship with the crew couple, which was really rare.

Li Xueqin wiped her mouth, looked at the three people at the table who were almost done eating, and asked, "Is there anything else to do after we finish eating?"

Mao Buyi pushed his glasses and said, "Let's find a pub and have a drink?"

"Okay, I'll contact the place."

"Row."

Everyone looked at Oda who was still cleaning.

Oda felt the gazes of the three people and nodded frantically and said, "I'm fine with it. It's no problem to have a drink."

Yang Di didn't waste any time and took the two women and one man to a pub to get a little tipsy to help them sleep.

In the hotel's private room, colorful Yunnan-style murals covered the entire wall, and the Naxi Dongba script and Yi Meige script shone brightly under the lights, as if telling ancient ethnic stories. The carved wooden window was filled with hazy moonlight, and the green bamboo outside the window swayed gently, bringing a hint of coolness. In the center of the private room, a huge copper pot was emitting billowing hot steam, and the bright red butter base was gradually melting, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.

Yunnan's unique wild mushrooms, fresh flowers, crispy seasonal vegetables, and all kinds of marinated wild meats are carefully placed on exquisite porcelain plates and displayed on the table. As the food is put into the boiling pot, the soup and ingredients interweave to create a rich aroma, which makes people take a deep breath, and the spicy and fragrant taste goes straight to the heart.

The waiters, dressed in Bai ethnic costumes and smiling, were busy pouring water and wine for the guests. The crisp sound of silverware colliding and the boiling sound in the pot intertwined, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. The guests laughed constantly, their faces were filled with satisfaction and happiness, they picked up the cooked food with chopsticks and enjoyed this unique Yunnan-style hot pot.

Every detail of the box reveals the style of Yunnan, from the decoration to the food, from the waiters' attire to the guests' laughter, all of which make people feel the warmth and simplicity of Yunnan. It seems that in this boiling hot pot, people not only taste the flavor of Yunnan, but also feel the enthusiasm and vitality of Yunnan.

As soon as Bai Lu and Meng Ziyi entered the box, they started clapping here and there.

Li Cheng also could not escape the clutches of the two girls. He transformed himself into a cameraman and began taking group and individual photos of the two.

"Oh, this is a nice place."

Fan Chengcheng, Cai Wenjing and Zhou Shen arrived later than Li Cheng and others, but not too late.

“This box is very nice.”

Cai Wenjing couldn't help but join the photo-taking team.

Seeing that Li Cheng was busy, Fan Chengcheng volunteered to take a photo of Cai Wenjing.

Nine people sat around a round table, with a boiling hot pot in the middle. The red soup base exuded an alluring aroma, with the smell of chili and Sichuan peppercorns filling the air. The table was filled with a variety of ingredients, from tender meat to crispy vegetables.

While eating the food, everyone talked about the day's recording. There was constant laughter and the atmosphere was very cheerful. Some people talked about interesting things during the recording process, while others shared their own experience during the filming. After three rounds of drinks, everyone became enthusiastic and talked freely while tasting the food.

Outside the window is the bustling city night scene, with flashing neon lights and busy traffic. But in this small hotel room, everyone is immersed in this warm atmosphere. From time to time, waiters come over to add water and change dishes, with a friendly and enthusiastic attitude, making people feel at home.

At the table, everyone toasted to each other and thanked each other for their company and support. This friendship and cooperation made the entire recording process full of fun and meaning. Although the work is hard, it is all worth it to have such a group of like-minded people working together.

As the night deepened, the heat of the hot pot gradually decreased. But everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish at all, and they continued to chat and laugh. On this beautiful night, they deeply engraved this joy and friendship in their hearts, after all, there was still a filming task tomorrow.

Li Cheng returned to his room and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He sat at the table, looking out the window listlessly, his eyes wandering. He glanced at the wine glass in his hand and began to reflect while muttering to himself. The boredom and internal friction in his heart surged up like a tide, making him feel irritable and uneasy. The Olympics were approaching, and his mood became nervous. He couldn't help but start to speculate, worrying whether his fans and supporters would be disappointed by his performance. This thought made him more anxious, like boiling water being tormented, and the pressure in his heart accumulated rapidly.

He couldn't help but start to gaze into the distance, as if he could find a trace of comfort from a distant place. His gaze became more and more fixed, as if he wanted to touch the deepest anxiety in his heart through his deep gaze.

A tense atmosphere enveloped him, like a dark cloud covering him. He bit his lips tightly and felt an unspeakable dullness in his throat. Helplessly, he could only take a deep breath and try to calm himself down.

He lowered his head, silently thinking about his training and performance. Every time he thought about it, it was like looking at a painting. He kept trying to figure it out, trying to find the best answer. Various conjectures and speculations kept surging in his mind, and an inexplicable pressure came over him.

His eyes became more blazing, as if he could see through time and space and see the challenges ahead. He realized that he had to work harder for his dream, and he knew that only by training harder could he fully demonstrate his strength in the Olympics.

Taking a deep breath, his eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. He knew that only through continuous efforts and struggles could he overcome his inner anxiety and fear and bring more joy and pride to his fans and those who supported him.

He is determined to use his own strength to repay those who selflessly support him. No matter what difficulties and challenges he faces, he is willing to face them bravely and never give up.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, Li Cheng fell into anxiety again, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

'? '

'Cheng Cheng, why aren't you sleeping so late?'

'Why did you start the live broadcast again?'

'Why is it so dark?'

'I've been live streaming a lot lately'

'Luckily tomorrow is Saturday, so I stayed up tonight, otherwise I would have missed the live broadcast again.'

'What's the matter with you staying up so late?'

'.'

The moment Li Cheng started the live broadcast, 5 people instantly flooded into the dy live broadcast room. In less than a minute, the number increased to 10+. There was no time to check the barrage in the live broadcast room, which scrolled very quickly.

Li Cheng didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the messages from fans.

"Why aren't you talking?"

'What are you doing?'

'Where are the people? '

"Why are you so dark? Where are you?"

'Turn on the light, we need to see people.'

"If you don't let us see you, why don't you say something?"

'Would you mind stopping moving your cup? It's making a lot of noise!'

'Just woken up or not asleep yet?'

'Speak up!'

'.'

Li Cheng glanced at the time on the upper left corner of his phone and said, "I'm logging off. Everyone go to bed early."

'? '

'No, it's been five minutes and you're already leaving?'

"You don't say a word. What's wrong?"

"Did you have a fight with Oda?"

"If you have something to say, please tell me. People are worried about you."

"What's wrong with you? Tell us."

'You've been live streaming a lot lately, what's wrong?'

"Don't scare us, are you depressed?"

'.'

Li Cheng looked at the fans' worried expressions, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm off now, everyone go to bed early, I just got a little tipsy with Brother Chen after work tonight, so I came up to see you guys, off now."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he did not look at the comments sent by fans, but clicked to stop the live broadcast.

He placed his phone on the bedside table and plugged it into the charger. This time he closed his eyes without thinking about anything else, and his breathing soon became calm.

'Li Cheng Late Night Live'

'What happened to Li Cheng?'

There are many hot search terms about Li Cheng, but he quickly became a hot search on Weibo and DY in the past two days.

next day
BJ
Oda stretched his hand out from the quilt with difficulty and felt towards the head of the bed until he touched his mobile phone. He skillfully unplugged the charger, and without leaving the quilt, he curled up in the quilt, unzipped his phone and started watching short videos.

As soon as she opened dy, she saw the replay of Li Cheng's live broadcast. She frowned and saw that the screen recording sent by the fans was actually at 4 o'clock last night. She also glanced at the time of the message Li Cheng sent when he returned to the hotel last night. It was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night. She knew that Li Cheng had insomnia again.

Xiaotian looked at her phone again. It was now ten o'clock in the morning. She sighed. She knew Li Cheng too well now. When they first got together, she didn't understand why Li Cheng went to bed so early every day. After staying up all night several times, she finally understood.

Li Cheng likes to lie in bed and daydream after 12:, which makes him feel internally exhausted. Sometimes he can even stay up all night, just thinking about random things with his eyes closed. He goes to bed early so that he can fall asleep.

Oda has said this about Li Cheng more than once. To put it bluntly, Li Cheng's wild thoughts are just making trouble for himself! Because when he woke up the next day, Li Cheng acted as if nothing had happened.

Li Xue in the Hesong office also saw her nephew's hot search. She shook her head slightly. As Li Cheng's aunt, she also knew that Li Cheng was not only daydreaming at night. In addition, with the Olympics approaching, Li Cheng must have fallen into a state of nervousness and daydreaming again, making himself anxious.

Li Bingbing, who was on her way to work, noticed the trending search and immediately sent a message to Li Cheng. No one knows a son better than his mother! No one knows Li Cheng better than her!
These few people were not the only ones who knew that Li Cheng was anxious.

"Hey, what are you busy with?"

"No, why did you think of calling me, big star!"

"Oh, didn't I see the trending search? Why is Cheng Cheng anxious again?"

"It must be the end of the year. The Olympics will be next year, so I'm nervous!"

"What should we do with this child? He's just like Baba, always having crazy thoughts every day."

"What can we do about it? You can still control their minds!"

"Hey, when are you going to Ningbo? As the second sister, you have to guide your brother."

"Don't worry, I'll go see Cheng Cheng and Zhao Zhao in a couple of days, just focus on filming."

"Okay, I'll get busy then."

"Well then, go ahead."

Xin Zhilei, the mainstay of Beidou Seven Lines, is also an expert in surfing the Internet. When she got up early and put on makeup and heard the message from her assistant, she called Qin Lan without thinking.

Qin Lan, who was resting in BJ, also learned about the hot search from her nephew. She was also worried about Li Cheng! Because she used to be exactly the same as Li Cheng, but she became more open-minded as she got older. (End of this chapter)
