Wen Feiran never truly understood what they meant, but that's the magic of human relationships; he could clearly feel the warmth they conveyed.
This celebration is the largest in the last decade or so. In the past, only ambitious young people had the opportunity to find the Divine Flower, but thanks to Wen Feiran's discovery, everyone can now do so.
On the day of the celebration, they dressed in their local traditional costumes, adorned themselves, and carried their Divine Flowers as they walked together to the altar.
No one spoke; they held their breath, their faces filled with piety and tension. Only when they reached the altar did they finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"I never thought I'd actually be able to attend an event like this in my lifetime!" Zou Yuxing looked around, his eyes darting around.
Su Shangting, a proud young master who didn't care about anything, patted his chest this time, saying with lingering fear, "You know, I was terrified that this flower would wither and die. I dreamed of climbing the mountain, checking on the flower eight hundred times a day. Luckily, nothing bad happened, and all my worries were unfounded."
Wen Feiran suddenly widened her eyes and jumped up. "Where are the birds? Where are the birds we're going to release later!"
Seeing that the three of them were clearly not in a good mood, Gu Suian smiled helplessly, "They're with me, so don't be too nervous."
Wen Feiran glanced back at Gu Suian before nodding.
Next came the elaborate sacrificial ceremony. Although they were allowed to participate, they knew nothing about the local customs and could only stand aside and watch everyone sing and dance the sacrificial dance.
They didn't become impatient; at that moment, their hearts suddenly became very calm, as if they had been baptized.
Then came the most important ritual of the sacrificial ceremony: releasing the Divine Messengers. At this time, one could make a wish, and the Divine Messengers would carry that wish to the gods.
Wen Feiran hadn't really looked at these birds, known as Divine Messengers, properly before, fearing something might happen. Now, seeing the birds in the cage spreading their wings and flying, she realized they were entirely white except for a single red tail fin.
Everyone closed their eyes and prayed earnestly. Wen Feiran stood close to Gu Suian, the corners of her mouth slowly turning upwards.
God, if you truly exist, please bless my beloved with a lifetime of peace and happiness, and I hope that this happiness can last forever, so that I can be with my friends and loved ones forever.

Chapter 81 The Day of Swapping
Chapter 81
The recording of "Forward All the Way" has officially ended. Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting, who already had family support, had been plagued by bad reputations. After participating in this variety show, their careers soared. Su Shangting collaborated with an international director, performed outstandingly, and won the Best Newcomer Award. Zou Yuxing became a top star in singing and dancing. Inspired by Su Shangting, he also went to take acting classes, wanting to develop in the direction of acting. However, he was very self-aware, knowing that he had no talent, and did not plan to take on roles before he had mastered the skills, lest he hurt the audience's eyes.
Meng Zizheng was practically a nobody in the entertainment industry before, and this variety show had the biggest impact on him. His hard work over the years was finally recognized, and he landed several popular roles, increasing his fame. Although his achievements weren't as high as Su Shangting's and Zou Yuxing's, it was a positive cycle. Meng Zizheng himself didn't want to become famous overnight, and he was very satisfied with his situation.
After Wen Feiran and Gu Suian finished recording the variety show, they completely disappeared from the public eye. Even paparazzi didn't dare to mess around with them, leaving fans with no news about them.
The official Weibo account that Forward All the Way suffered, being greeted with 800 insults every day.
[You guys are really hopeless! You can't even handle this overwhelming wealth. Are you going to die if you film another variety show?!]
[Yeah, other variety shows have had seven or eight seasons already, why haven't you guys started one yet?]
[Even if there's no second season, a side story would be fine. Let me see Feiran again; I really miss my wife.]
Please, please don't force me to kneel down and beg you.
[Is your planning ineffective? No problem, I'll help you come up with themes for the future, guaranteeing that each episode will be unique, as long as you bring in the original guests!!]
[Forward All the Way, I'll be watching you closely until you plan a second season!]
After not receiving any news about Wen Feiran for a long time, the fans in the super topic went crazy, spreading one rumor after another, which became more and more outrageous.
[I know, they must have gotten pregnant while filming the variety show. Feiran hasn't been seen for so many days because she's been resting during her pregnancy.]
Sisters, we have hope again! He can't be pregnant with Nezha, right? Wen Feiran will be back in a year at most!
[I'm their witness. Can I be invited to the baby's one-month celebration? I'll give them a one-yuan red envelope.]
[Let's also have a wedding ceremony while we're at it. My fans are my bread and butter, so I'm the one who gets the main table, lol]
[The entertainment industry is so boring without Wen Feiran. They're always marketing this beauty and that handsome guy. I'm not blind; if someone's really good-looking, wouldn't I see it? I still miss the days when there was so much gossip to keep me entertained.]
[Wen Feiran, if you don't show up soon, I'm really going to expose you everywhere, you're insane! jpg]
An unsuspecting passerby clicked into the super topic, unaware that it was just fans talking to themselves, becoming so engrossed in the gossip that they couldn't extricate themselves, thus opening up a whole new world.
Where there's hype, there's marketing. Once marketing accounts clicked into the super topic, it was like returning to their happy hometown. They could easily find a juicy scoop. Rumors about Wen Feiran being on maternal and child protection gradually spread online, and even made it to the trending topics.
Wen Feiran promised Elder Zeng and the others, and he wished he could split a minute in half. He was so busy every day that he was studying and researching from the moment he opened his eyes that he was so tired that he could barely lift his fingers. At night, Gu Suian would carry him to bed. On his rare day off, Gu Suian's agent came to his door and listened to him talk about the latest news like a mantra.
Wen Feiran finally snapped out of it, her eyes wide as if she'd misheard. "What did you say? Repeat it again?!"
