It was truly sigh-inducing.

After all the tasks were over, the production team finally regained some humanity. For the last evening, they arranged a relaxed, luxurious itinerary and spent a fortune treating all the guests to dinner at New West Building.

As the most advanced commercial building in Old West City, New West Building not only used all kinds of cutting-edge equipment and systems inside, but its exterior walls were also made of the latest optical materials. The entire facade was like a massive screen, displaying all sorts of images and information to pedestrians and tourists every day.

Xie Ran had already visited New West Building once during the photography task, though he had gone to the top floor last time. This time, the production team had arranged for them to dine at an upscale Western restaurant halfway up the building. The restaurant was next to an open-air Sky Garden, and their seats were set in the semicircular garden. On one side stood the building's towering glass wall, while the other bordered the garden railing, allowing them to enjoy Old West City's night view as they ate.

After dinner came the usual sentimental segment at the end of the show. The director said, "The program is coming to an end, so let's all share your thoughts on this journey."

In previous seasons, the guests would always look back on the hard work and struggles of the past week, then draw some uplifting conclusion from it all, each one practically desperate to become an ambassador for positive energy.

That was why netizens jokingly called this segment the Acting Awards.

But this time, everyone had lost the urge to perform. The few salted fish looked at each other and sighed.

Zhu Chuanjia said solemnly, "Through this event, I've learned what it means when people say, 'Nothing in this world is difficult, as long as you're willing to give up!'"

Meng Xixi was more practical. "I think saving money has no future. Better to spend early and enjoy early!"

Chen Xiaoxuan nodded in agreement. "That's right. President Xie taught us one lesson: money is earned, not saved."

Zhu Chuanjia complained, "You think I didn't understand that before? First, you have to have President Xie's earning ability..."

Chen Xiaoxuan pursed her lips and changed her tune sadly. "If you don't have that ability, you should just save obediently."

Jiang Wei looked at Xie Ran with deep earnestness. "This time, I've come to deeply understand that besides relying on one's own struggle, choosing the right teammate is also very important to a person's fate!"

Zhu Chuanjia lunged over from the side and put him in a chokehold. "What the hell are you implying?"

Unable to bear watching any longer, the production team silently moved the camera toward Xie Ran. "What about you, President Xie? What are your thoughts this time?"

Xie Ran set down his coffee, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Old West City is quite suitable for a vacation. If I have time in the future, I can come again."

Everyone: "..."

Was President Xie sharing his vacation reflections?

Finally, the camera settled on Fang Huiwang. "It's Brother Wang's turn."

"This time..." Fang Huiwang smiled faintly, his voice turning gentle. "I was really happy to record the show and travel with Xiao Ran. Although there were quite a few frictions during this time, it also reminded me of many things from the past."

His gaze was like water as it flowed gently toward Xie Ran. "Xiao Ran, do you remember what day it is today?"

The earlier routine had merely been buildup. Fang Huiwang's words were the focus of this segment, kicking off the night's main event.

As his voice fell, the enormous glass wall behind them suddenly lit up, and all the guests in the Sky Garden turned to look.

The glass wall had transformed into a gigantic screen, and a beautifully edited video began playing on it.

At the same time, a staff member handed over a guitar.

Fang Huiwang took it, lightly plucked the strings twice, then crossed one leg and sat on a high stool nearby. Resting the guitar on his thigh, he began to play and sing.

He played the theme song from Tomorrow's Star, the show he and Xie Ran had participated in together ten years ago. The melody was light and soaring, carrying the spirit of youth.

As the music began, the video on the wall slowly unfolded as well.

The video consisted of footage from the Tomorrow's Star competition. In it, Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang were both still high-spirited youths. They had met during the preliminary auditions and fought their way through each round, growing from shy and inexperienced to dazzling and radiant. There was applause, there were flowers, there were smiles and tears, and in the end, they reached the final together.

Interspersed throughout were snippets of the two spending time together, scenes that Wangran CP fans had revisited countless times. They moved into the same dorm room, trained together in the dance studio, Xie Ran bribed Fang Huiwang with snacks to make him wake him up every day, Fang Huiwang packed breakfast for Xie Ran from the cafeteria...

They were all very ordinary moments, but it was precisely because they were ordinary that they felt especially real and moving.

Even tourists who knew nothing of the situation could not help smiling knowingly. Youth was wonderful.

The production staff and the other two groups of guests could not help feeling touched as well.

At first, they had found the relationship between Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang during this period rather subtle. The two were clearly unfamiliar with each other, completely unlike old friends who kept in frequent contact. Xie Ran's perfunctory attitude toward Fang Huiwang was obvious to the naked eye; he was even less patient with him than with these few salted fish.

Everyone had nearly begun to suspect that they had merely teamed up to scam appearance fees.

But Fang Huiwang's performance and this video shook their previous assumptions.

Those scenes were too real!

The feelings of young people were always difficult to hide. Even when they were merely doing the smallest things together, the eyes of the young Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang always held a tenderness and affection they could not conceal.

Chen Xiaoxuan and Meng Xixi were relatively young and had not experienced the time when Wangran was at its peak.

was at its height.

But after seeing these scenes, they immediately understood why Wangran CP fans had been so fanatical and loyal for so long.

Why one shared appearance could make CP fans who had been dormant for ten years rise from the ashes.

During a break in the lyrics, Fang Huiwang looked at Xie Ran, his gaze tender. "Xiao Ran, today is the tenth anniversary of our debut. Do you remember now?"

Naturally, Xie Ran had already remembered.
