Chen Li and Xia Ting travel for a TV show recording, facing fan crowds at the airport. During makeup, Chen Li is questioned by co-star Ling Xiaoxiao about who he watched a movie with, leading to a subtle interaction where Chen Li accepts Xia Ting's water while politely refusing Ling Xiaoxiao's.

He explained, showing that he still cared about her and didn’t want to embarrass her.

Xia Ting quietly backed away, not wanting to stay and make herself uncomfortable.

She went to the other side to chat with fans and tell them some things to be mindful of.

She chatted with fans for a while, when suddenly a group of fans behind her started screaming.

She didn’t need to turn around to know who had arrived, it had to be Chen Li.

"Hello everyone." Chen Li came over, stood beside her, and waved to the fans with a smile.

"Chen Li, ah~"

"Chen Li, Chen Li!"

"Chen Li!"

"Quiet down, don’t be too noisy, okay?" Chen Li gently reminded the fans with a smile.

"Okay!" the fans nodded, not daring to speak loudly anymore.

"Since you’re here, why don’t you sign autographs for them?" Xia Ting suggested to him.

"Sure." Chen Li nodded in agreement.

He signed autographs for the fans and took a group photo, everyone was very happy.

He also received a bunch of gifts, which Xia Ting helped to collect.

While he was on stage recording the show, Xia Ting took the opportunity to speak with the fans.

There was no need to give him gifts; as long as they continued to support him, that would be enough.

They were already very happy that he could see them; there was no need to spend money buying gifts for him.

The fans, although a bit unhappy, agreed.

They bought gifts for him to leave an impression on him.

However, this assistant sister had a point.

The gifts they bought might not be useful to him and just pile up at home.

This not only took up space but was also wasteful.

The recording continued until nightfall, and afterwards Chen Li and some hosts went to dinner together.

Xia Ting and a few other assistants took the luggage back to the hotel first.

They had a simple meal at the hotel and hurried back to their rooms to rest.

Without having to follow Chen Li around, they finally had time to rest properly.

After returning to her room, she took a shower, lay on the bed, watched some TV, and fell asleep.

While asleep, she vaguely heard a knocking sound at the door.

She sat up groggily, rubbed her head, and the knocking continued.

Shaking her head to wake up a bit, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the door.

She had no idea what time it was or who was knocking.

She opened the door, and Chen Li pushed past her, entering the room.

She woke up a bit more, closed the door, and walked back in.

"You just got back?" she yawned and scratched her head, asking.

"You sleep quite well, don’t you?" Chen Li placed his things on the cabinet.

He walked over to the bed, took off his hat, threw it on the bed, and noticed the curtains were drawn.

He started unbuttoning his shirt, as he wanted to take a shower, drenched in sweat.

"Wait a minute!" Xia Ting hurriedly stopped him. Was he planning to undress in her room?

"What?"

"Your room is upstairs. Go back to your room."

"I’m too tired to go up, I’ll just crash in your room tonight," Chen Li said with a weary expression, as he had already taken off his shirt.

"No crashing! If someone sees, who knows what they’ll say. You need to go back to your room!" Xia Ting frowned; could he just crash like this?

If a reporter saw, it would be a disaster.

Chen Li’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t speak and directly headed to the bathroom after taking off his shoes.

"Chen Li!" Xia Ting was frustrated; he was having a tantrum again.

Every time he was angry, he wouldn’t say a thing, some things never changed!

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and she had no choice but to accept the situation.

Luckily, there was a sofa in the room; she could just sleep on the sofa later.

She walked to the bed and picked up his clothes, just as his phone on the cabinet vibrated.

She went over, picked up the phone, and saw a new WeChat message.

She entered the password to unlock the phone and opened WeChat to see it was a message from Ling Xiaoxiao.
