Wang Siyi, after finishing that bowl of chicken noodle soup, no longer felt the sense of loss she had that morning.
Even with dark circles under her eyes, she was still a beautiful panda girl.
As she packed her things in the room, Wang Siyi didn't plan to bring much, just a few simple outfits and a handbag.
Inside the bag were a few everyday cosmetics. It didn't feel like she was going to Shanghai for work, more like she was going on vacation.
After finishing packing, she cast a lingering glance at the master bedroom and murmured, "I will be back!"
Then, she closed the door to the room she had been living in for over a month and softly said to Li Changle, who was waiting in the living room, "Let's go."
Li Changle reached out his hand. Wang Siyi was a little surprised. Did he want to hold her hand?
Should she let him hold her hand?
It felt like they hadn't held hands before. Wang Siyi's face flushed.
She slightly extended her hand, and it met Li Changle's in a mutual gesture.
Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi strangely. Her face was flushed, and she was looking down. His hand was suspended in the air in an odd position.
What was this woman up to now?
Puzzled, Li Changle couldn't help but sigh. He quickly said, "Why are you holding your hand up so high? Give me the suitcase..."
Hearing this, Wang Siyi's expression instantly stiffened. She was mortified. How could she have embarrassed herself again?
So he had reached out his hand just to help her with the suitcase...
How awkward. She couldn't even remember how many times she had embarrassed herself in front of him.
Her face turned even redder, the flush spreading from the roots of her ears all the way to her neck.
"Why are you blushing? It's just helping you with a suitcase. Let's go, you'll miss your flight if we delay..."
Wang Siyi was annoyed by her own wishful thinking. Wang Siyi, oh Wang Siyi, he's just a blockhead. How could you think he'd dare to initiate holding your hand?
Annoyed, Wang Siyi patted her forehead, then handed the suitcase directly to Li Changle and quickly walked away.
She deliberately put some distance between herself and Li Changle. Otherwise, if he asked her why she was blushing, how would she answer...
Li Changle didn't get angry without a response. He was already used to this Wang Siyi. He could handle this personality.
It was much better than facing the spoiled Wang Siyi, the crying Wang Siyi, or the drunk Wang Siyi.
He really couldn't handle those various personalities of Wang Siyi.
In the car, Li Changle and Wang Siyi were silent. Wang Siyi still didn't know how to resolve the awkwardness from earlier, so she simply didn't speak.
Her phone rang. It was Chen Baozhu again.
"My dear grandma, when are you coming back? Tomorrow and tomorrow, three days and three days. Your new album needs to be recorded before the end of this month..."
"If it's really not possible, Xiuxiu and I can come pick you up..."
"Absolutely not! Sister Baozhu, I'm already on my way to the airport. You guys just wait at the airport in Shanghai!"
Seeing that Chen Baozhu wanted to come over again, Wang Siyi said quickly.
She knew Chen Baozhu's personality. Before she became a superstar, Chen Baozhu didn't want her to be in a relationship.
She had also confidently promised that she wouldn't date until she became a superstar...
But fate, it comes when it comes, and it can't be stopped. Wang Siyi didn't know what the matchmaker was thinking.
If the matchmaker didn't help, Wang Siyi would tie herself to Li Changle with a chain, ensuring he could never run away in this lifetime.
If Chen Baozhu found out that Wang Siyi had someone she liked, she would definitely try her best to make her give up, or perhaps talk to Li Changle herself.
She didn't want to break contact with Li Changle, nor did she want to fall out with Chen Baozhu. So for now, she could only take it one step at a time.
Chen Baozhu was relieved to hear that Wang Siyi was finally coming back.
She was also puzzled.
What was going on with this girl? When she asked about things that needed to be done that day, if she needed to rush back to Shanghai, she would either return that day or the next morning.
Unlike this time, when she delayed for a week. Chen Baozhu believed that if she hadn't urged her, Wang Siyi would have planned to delay for another ten days to half a month...
Chen Baozhu shook her head, unable to quite figure it out. But fortunately, everything was going smoothly now. All systems were go.
Now all she needed was for Wang Siyi to come back and record the songs, and everything would be settled. It wouldn't matter even if the company didn't promote it.
She knew a director who was short of a theme song for his recent movie, and it was exactly this type of song.
She had initially approached him with a "just try it" attitude, but she didn't expect that the director would make a decision just by seeing the lyrics, even before hearing the song. He declared it was perfect!
What a boss! After all, he was a popular director, speaking with confidence and possessing high cultural literacy. He had always said that the lyricist for this song was not simple and had a lot of depth.
When he heard the demo of the melody, he was even more overjoyed and directly told Chen Baozhu, "For the theme song of my next movie, I'd still like the lyricist and composer of this song to help me. If possible, please introduce them to me then."
Chen Baozhu was overjoyed at the time, thinking it was a big director, a popular one!
If she could latch onto this big tree, she wouldn't have to worry about resources in the future. She immediately agreed, planning to ask Wang Siyi for an introduction later.
She wondered where this Wan Jun met this person named Li Xiaoyao.
Musicians of this caliber were rare nowadays; it was strange that she, Chen Baozhu, didn't know him.
"Why is your agent constantly urging you to go to Shanghai? Didn't you just decide to go to Shanghai a couple of days ago?"
Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi doubtfully. The car space was small, and he had clearly overheard Chen Baozhu's words.
Wang Siyi glared at him, thinking it was all because of him.
But in reality, she ignored him, looking coolly out the window. Mainly, she didn't know how to explain, so she decided to stay silent...
Li Changle saw that he had brought it upon himself and gotten a cold shoulder, feeling a bit awkward. He rubbed his nose.
He regretted not buying a car. He had to take a taxi to send Wang Siyi to the airport, and the atmosphere in the car with the driver was a bit awkward.
He thought to himself that he would start planning to buy a car after this trip, so it would be convenient to pick up and drop off Wang Siyi at the airport in the future, and also convenient to visit his parents.
Li Changle yawned, feeling a bit sleepy. He had slept too late last night and woken up too early, so he planned to lean back against the car seat and close his eyes for a short nap.
Seeing Li Changle with his brows furrowed and eyes closed, as if deep in thought, Wang Siyi hesitated to speak to him.
She also leaned back against the car seat and closed her eyes to rest, just like Li Changle.
The journey from Xingfuli to the airport took about an hour. Since neither of them had rested well the night before, they both fell asleep in the car.
At some point, Wang Siyi's head had rested on Li Changle's shoulder, a slight smile on her lips.
Wang Siyi woke up groggily, realizing she was leaning on Li Changle's shoulder, her face flushing slightly.
But Li Changle was still asleep. She checked the time; they still had ten minutes before reaching the airport.
She looked at Li Changle again, feeling a little smug that he was still asleep.
Then, contentedly, she leaned back on his shoulder again, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the peace of the moment.
Leaning on his shoulder felt so secure.
At this moment, Wang Siyi felt that as long as Li Changle was by her side, she could face the whole world; having him was enough.
The driver, through the rearview mirror, saw the sweet young couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman, with the girl looking so happy. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Youth is wonderful. Back when I still had hair, I was just as handsome... that girl, she used to lean on my shoulder like that too..."
He didn't speak to disturb them, but quietly turned up the air conditioning a bit to make them sleep more comfortably.
Upon reaching their destination, the driver's sudden brake jolted Li Changle awake from his slumber. They had arrived at the airport.
He saw Wang Siyi with her eyes tightly closed, leaning on his shoulder, smiling sweetly, as if she had had a beautiful dream.
Finally, Li Changle woke Wang Siyi up, afraid of missing her flight.
"Thank you, driver..."
He took the suitcase out of the car and walked into the departure hall. Wang Siyi followed behind, looking dejected.
She was unhappy not only because her beautiful dream was interrupted, but also because the ticket in her hand told her that she wasn't dreaming of dating Li Changle, but of parting with him.
She hadn't felt much while at home, but now, as she prepared to board the plane, her reluctance surged like a tide.
It threatened to drown her. She remembered the Chicken Soup noodles she had eaten this morning.
She probably wouldn't be able to have them for the next month, and she wouldn't see Li Changle every day either.
Wang Siyi felt a pang of sadness, unable to describe the feeling. There was a voice deep within her, constantly calling out.
"Stay, please stay..."
At that moment, she truly wanted to tear up the ticket in her hand, throw it into the sky, and shout loudly at Li Changle:
"Li Changle, I love you!"
But she couldn't do it, not now. Before she understood Li Changle's feelings, she couldn't force him to make a choice.
She hoped for a mutual effort. But Li Changle was so dense. Even someone who had never been in love like her knew what it felt like to like someone. Didn't he know?
She truly wondered if he had been single his entire past life, silently complaining about Li Changle in her heart.
In fact, Li Changle had indeed been a lonely dog in his past life. His past life had been miserable, filled only with work.
Dating? What was dating? Stay away from me!
Women only slowed down my proposal-writing speed and wasted my overtime hours.
So, Li Changle, who couldn't be more straight, was indeed no match for Wang Siyi when it came to matters of the heart.
Seeing Wang Siyi's eyes redden again, Li Changle's heart tightened.
He was most afraid of women crying, especially Wang Siyi. Each time she cried, it was worse than the last, and he couldn't stop her.
"What's wrong, crybaby?"
Li Changle intended to joke with Wang Siyi to lighten the mood, though he didn't know why she was so downcast...
"You're the crybaby!"
Wang Siyi was very unhappy with Li Changle's habit of patting her, and even more unhappy with the nickname he gave her; it was awful.
"You cry like tears are free, if you're not a crybaby, who is?"
Li Changle rolled his eyes and retorted.
"We're preparing to board."
Wang Siyi's face fell again.
"Let's go, let's go, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Li Changle hurried to urge Wang Siyi to get ready to board.
"Do you want me to leave that badly?"
Wang Siyi turned to Li Changle and said. She felt a little sad inside; didn't he feel any reluctance to part with her?
"Huh? No, aren't you in a hurry? Your agent has been rushing you, what if we miss the time..."
Li Changle asked Wang Siyi doubtfully. What was wrong with her today? She had been so sentimental all day.
He felt a headache coming on. She was the one leaving, and she was the one dragging her feet.
Wang Siyi didn't say anything, just nodded, took the luggage from Li Changle's hands, and turned to walk into the departure hall.
Suddenly, she put down the suitcase, turned around, and said to Li Changle:
"I might be going to Shanghai for a very long time."
"I know, you have a new album to release. I'll take good care of your place."
"You're not allowed to move out without my permission!"
Wang Siyi emphasized this point again.
"Okay, okay, I won't move out. I'm living fine here, why would I move out? I have nowhere else to go anyway..."
Li Changle was helpless. Why did she always act like she was afraid he would run away?
"Then... I..."
"I'll be gone for such a long time, will... will you miss me...?"
Wang Siyi lowered her head, her face flushed, and she said softly.
"What?"
Wang Siyi's voice was too low, and Li Changle couldn't hear her clearly.
"N-nothing..."
"You're stammering, just say what you want to say..."
"It's nothing."
Wang Siyi picked up her suitcase again and walked to the entrance of the departure hall. She paused again, then put down her suitcase and ran back.
She gently hugged Li Changle and whispered in his ear.
"You have to remember to think of me once every day..."
Then she immediately let go and ran away without looking back, quickly grabbing her suitcase and heading for security.
The moment Wang Siyi hugged him, Li Changle's brain crashed, and he lost the ability to think.
Then he heard Wang Siyi's words again.
"You have to remember to think of me once every day."
The sentence kept repeating in his mind. Before he could snap out of it, Wang Siyi was already gone.
She left just like that, without a flutter of her sleeve, nor did she take away a single cloud.
Looking in the direction Wang Siyi had gone, Li Changle felt a little empty.
Wang Siyi sat in the first-class cabin of the plane, the blush on her face hadn't faded, and her heart was still pounding, feeling like a deer was running wildly inside her chest.
Her actions this time were a bit rash, but she wouldn't regret it!
If she hadn't hugged him once, if she hadn't said those words to him, she would have regretted it.
The plane took off and soared into the sky. Looking at the shrinking scenery below, Wang Siyi sighed inwardly. She was already starting to miss Li Changle...
Watching the plane fly into the sky, Li Changle finally left the airport, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
She had hugged him just now and told him to think of her. What did this woman mean by that?
He shook his head, a knot of frustration tightening in his chest, feeling like he couldn't vent it.
As if remembering something, he took out his phone and sent a message to Wang Siyi's WeChat.
"Let me know when you arrive safely."
They were good friends, after all. It was logical and reasonable for him to show a token of concern, right?
