Chapter 211: Unofficial Airport Pickup

Everything had been packed up. Xiaoyun had also packed up Shen Li's personal items from the hotel early that morning and brought them to the set, waiting for them to head straight to the airport after the wrap-up today.

Before leaving, Shen Li stood in the middle of the dressing room and looked around the small room, feeling quite reluctant to leave, as if everything had happened just yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, she had actually finished filming her first drama.

"A-Li."

At this moment, Song Anyu suddenly appeared outside the door. The door wasn't closed, and he stood at the entrance and called Shen Li's name softly.

Shen Li looked at Song Anyu. Her heart was no longer as calm as before, but thinking that she was about to leave, she still tried her best to appear natural.

"Brother Anyu, I'm leaving. You're wrapping up soon too, right?"

Song Anyu nodded, pursed his lips, and asked, "Are you... are you spending the New Year in Longcheng?"

This question was sudden, making Shen Li slightly stunned. "Uh, I'll probably be going back to my hometown."

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Xiaoyun was truly afraid that Song Anyu would lose his head and confess. He might be willing to risk everything regardless of his own life, but A-Li couldn't.

So she quickly poked Apan in the waist. Apan understood and immediately picked up Shen Li's large suitcase. "A-Li, the car is waiting outside. We have to go, or we'll miss our flight."

Shen Li nodded and walked to the door first. Seeing this, Song Anyu subconsciously stepped aside, but his eyes never left Shen Li.

Shen Li looked at his handsome face and, at the moment of parting, still left him with a serene smile. "Goodbye, Brother Anyu. Thank you for taking care of me during these days."

After saying this, Shen Li turned and left.

Song Anyu watched her back, the impulse in his heart ready to burst forth, but it was repeatedly disrupted by Xiaoyun and Apan's repeated "Goodbye, Teacher Anyu." By the time he looked up again, Shen Li had already walked quite far away.

He let out a soft, complex sigh. With Shen Li's departure, the struggle deep in his heart was finally put aside for the moment.

He did indeed have the impulse, but he still retained his reason.

The flight back to Longcheng was booked by the company. Shen Li was in first class, while the rest of the team was in economy.

At 5:10 PM, Longcheng International Airport, twenty minutes before Shen Li's flight was due to land.

Domestic Arrivals Hall.

"Everyone remember what I said. When A-Li comes out, we must be orderly. Do not make noise or crowd, and don't cause trouble for passersby."

"There aren't many of us today. If we are orderly, everyone will be able to talk to A-Li, okay?"

A fair-skinned, handsome guy wearing light-colored jeans and a white down jacket was organizing the airport pickup group composed of over a dozen girls. These people were the core management of Shen Li's fan support group, but they were an unofficial organization, all die-hard fans volunteering for love.

Some had become fans when they first saw Shen Li at the opening ceremony, while others were drawn in by the stills released by the crew.

And this boy was the president of the support group, named Qi Jingnian.

He was a pure fan of Shen Li's looks. From the first moment he saw this girl, as delicate and clear as a pear blossom, he had "fallen in love at first sight." So he quickly established the "Shen Li Unofficial Support Group" online, which expanded rapidly in a short time. Currently, the account had already gathered tens of thousands of Shen Li's fans.

"President, can we take photos with A-Li later?"

"Right, right, I want to take photos with A-Li too."

"I've prepared a gift, can I give it to her?"

These young girls ranged in age from sixteen to twenty-five. Although some were veteran fans, basically none of them had ever participated in an airport pickup activity.

Qi Jingnian looked reliable and decisive, and as the president of the support group, everyone trusted him and was eager to ask for his opinion.

But in fact, Qi Jingnian was also chasing a star for the first time. However, he had done a lot of homework before organizing this pickup activity, so he had checked relevant information in advance for everyone's questions.

"As for photos, we still need to respect A-Li's wishes. If she agrees, we'll seize the time to take a big group photo. Individual photos will take up too much time. I've seen that other stars' airport pickup activities don't involve individual photos with fans, so everyone can open your phone cameras in advance and find a chance to sneak a few shots without disturbing A-Li or passersby."

"Don't send gifts, especially food; the team basically won't accept them. Letters should be fine. Those who have written letters can hand them to me collectively, and I'll give them to A-Li or her assistant later."

Qi Jingnian had strong organizational skills and was a boy with quite a bit of charm. Everyone's first impression of him, both visually and sensorially, was very good, so they all obeyed his instructions.

Soon, Shen Li's flight landed at the airport on time.

Shen Li, along with her two assistants and the four security personnel arranged by the company, were the first to walk out of the arrivals exit. She wasn't even wearing any protective measures, not even a pair of sunglasses.

Because she never expected fans to come to pick her up. Her flight information hadn't been leaked at all; the ticket was booked only last night.

Seeing Shen Li come out, the fans were very excited, but they all followed Qi Jingnian's arrangements. They didn't shout or scream, but waved at Shen Li vigorously, their voices suppressing excitement as they said to her in a very normal volume: "A-Li, good luck with the wrap-up!"

For a moment, Shen Li was surprised, but then she felt a bit happy. Some of these people were holding flowers, and some were carrying bags; they were clearly her fans, who had come specifically to pick her up.

Although she never cared about these things and didn't advocate for them, this kind of unprepared surprise still moved her deeply.

Xiaoyun muttered suspiciously, "Eh? Didn't Sister Kuan say A-Li wasn't arranging for fans to pick her up?"

"Is it spontaneous by the fans?" Apan was also puzzled. "Where did they get the flight information?"

But Shen Li didn't think too much about it. She quickly waved with a smile and walked straight toward them.

Seeing this, the security guard hurried to push the luggage and follow, fearing that the fans' behavior might be too extreme and hurt Shen Li.

Unexpectedly, everyone was very orderly, not crowded at all. The short ones stood in front, and the tall ones stood behind.

Qi Jingnian was 1.83 meters tall. Although he stood at the very back, he was the only boy, so he was still noticed by Shen Li at first glance.

"A-Li, we are your fans."

"A-Li, I'm a book fan. I liked you after seeing your stills for Hua Xixi."

"Oh my god, she's so well-behaved and spirited in person!"

"A-Li, can we take a photo?"

The fans were excited, but no one rushed forward. They always kept a safe distance from Shen Li, but their phones were all held up, all wanting to record their first offline meeting with Shen Li. ===== CHAPTER 212 =====
