Chapter 212: Can't Bear This

"Thank you all, you've worked hard."

Shen Li took the flowers handed over by the fans. Their team's hands were already full of flowers brought back from the set, and now they were being stuffed with another pile. One of the security guards was almost drowned in the sea of flowers.

"Where did you all come from?" Shen Li asked curiously.

"We are all from Longcheng."

"Right, because this pickup was quite temporary, the president only organized fans in Longcheng to come."

"President?"

Shen Li blinked, her gaze passing over the small heads of the girls in the front row, subconsciously looking at Qi Jingnian at the very back. "It wouldn't be you, would it? You're the only boy here!"

Qi Jingnian had originally been gazing at Shen Li infatuatedly. Who knew she would suddenly speak to him? His expression underwent a "sudden" transformation, and his fair, handsome face turned red all the way to his ears.

"It's me. I'm the president. My name is Qi Jingnian, and I'm twenty years old this year."

The person who had been calm and composed just a moment ago while organizing the support group members was now nervously introducing himself inexplicably.

Shen Li looked at his wooden reaction and suddenly laughed. That smile was spirited and flawless, immediately reflecting into Qi Jingnian's heart.

She was even more beautiful in person than she looked online.

"President, the letters, the letters!"

At this moment, someone reminded Qi Jingnian, and he finally managed to come back to his senses. "Oh right, A-Li, these are the handwritten letters everyone wrote to you."

A tote bag was stuffed with over a dozen letters, all packaged in exquisite envelopes.

She had grown up and had never seen real letters before. She never expected that one day she would receive letters written by fans herself.

"Thank you~"

Shen Li reached out and took them without hesitation, feeling incomparably moved. In the past, she always felt it didn't matter whether anyone supported her or not. Her ideal was to be an actor, to shape different screen characters; her ideal was to win an award, to become a Best Actress.

But at this very moment, she also truly felt that having support was also very good. This feeling was very magical, something she had never imagined before.

After all, being liked by others was always a good thing, something that made people happy.

Seeing more and more people pouring out of the arrivals exit, Shen Li quickly said, "Let's not disturb others. How about we find a corner with no one around to take photos?"

She wasn't in a hurry anyway, and she hadn't asked her sister to pick her up. These people had come to pick her up despite the hardship, and she didn't want to leave after such a hurried meeting.

A two-way rush was the only way to be worthy of each other.

As a result, when everyone heard that A-Li was willing to leave time to take photos with them, they were all so excited that they stomped their feet and screamed in suppressed voices, which inevitably attracted many passersby to stop and look.

With such a posture, even if passersby didn't recognize her as a newcomer, seeing this scene, it wasn't hard to guess that Shen Li was a star.

Everyone was still very orderly. This was what satisfied Shen Li the most. She was very afraid of causing an impact on the public environment because of herself, which would make her feel very pressured and guilty.

Everyone found a corner. There were only a dozen people in total, so Shen Li was very willing to take individual photos with everyone and signed autographs for each person.

Qi Jingnian consciously lined up at the end. When it was his turn, he stood beside Shen Li like a piece of wood. His face was so red that it couldn't be hidden under the strong spotlights on the airport ceiling.

Other girls couldn't help but stand very close to Shen Li when taking photos, and Shen Li also cooperated by leaning in, acting cute, and playing adorable.

But when it came to the boy, Shen Li also didn't know how to pose.

The girl in charge of taking photos couldn't help but tease, "President, your face is too red. If you're hot, take off your down jacket!"

"No, you take the photo quickly."

Qi Jingnian only felt his heart beating very fast, feeling as if the scent of pear blossoms was in his breath.

Shen Li felt that he was very nervous. In fact, she could understand; she was just as nervous when she first met Sister Yuner.

"How about we count to 1, 2, 3 and jump together?" Shen Li suddenly said.

Qi Jingnian was stunned, then nodded with a silly smile. "Okay!"

"I'll count. When I count to 3, the president and A-Li will jump together. Ready, 1, 2, 3!"

As the words fell, Qi Jingnian jumped up high with a face full of smiles.

But Shen Li didn't jump at all. Instead, she tilted her head and looked up slightly at the flying Qi Jingnian, her hands clenched into fists and placed on her cheeks, with an incredibly playful expression on her face.

This was a vivid and interesting photo!

After Qi Jingnian landed, he found that Shen Li hadn't jumped, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed, his face turning even redder.

Others watching the drama on the side also laughed one after another.

But the photo effect was full, and it was taken perfectly.

Finally, everyone took a collective group photo.

"A-Li, can I post this group photo?" Qi Jingnian asked Shen Li cautiously. "I specially opened a support group account for you, and it already has tens of thousands of fans. Everyone might want to see it too."

Shen Li didn't refuse. "Of course you can, but don't come to these airport pickup activities in the future."

Everyone was still immersed in the joy just now and didn't expect A-Li to suddenly say such things, which made everyone's expressions freeze, and their hearts became nervous.

The most nervous one was Qi Jingnian. "Why? You don't like it?"

Shen Li shook her head. "No, it's just that I think you're too hard-working. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth to the airport, and you have to arrive early. I really feel it's a waste of your own time."

Hearing Shen Li's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their hearts felt warm.

"A-Li, we don't find it hard. We don't feel hard as long as we can see you."

"That's right, other stars arrange for fans to pick them up. Our A-Li can't have no one to pick her up."

Someone said this, and others followed suit.

Seeing this, Shen Li quickly tried to stop them. "Let's not compare this. Airport pickup is inherently a high-cost, low-return thing. I hope you can save more time for yourselves. As for me, I feel very honored to have your love, but for me, this is already completely enough. Please don't waste any more energy and money on me. This is my sincere talk."

"And there might be more people picking me up in the future, and there will be new faces joining constantly, and there will even be people coming from other places. But I can't guarantee that every time will be like this time, where I can leave time for everyone. But if I leave after just a hurried meeting, I will only feel sorry for everyone in my heart. I really can't bear this."

Shen Li's words were earnest, and every word was her sincere thought from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, when she saw news about stars being picked up at the airport, she only saw the stars walking quickly under the escort of the team, fans following behind holding phones and taking pictures hard, and finally the stars getting into the car and leaving without a word. The whole process might only take ten minutes.

Shen Li couldn't understand at all. Are stars enjoying this with such peace of mind? And what are the fans after? ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
