" Travel to That Unknown Place " is primarily a travel variety show, and many viewers initially tuned in to watch it for the daily life of the travel journey.
The fact that it marked Pei Yubai's first variety show appearance as a film emperor significantly boosted its popularity.
Then came Qiguan Yuan, who was unlike anyone else in the circle, with her stunning looks and mysterious aura.
Both gentle and alluring.
Many people say that Qiguan Yuan is like a reclusive immortal, or more so, they feel that Qiguan Yuan has a faint divine quality about him.
For some reason, whenever Qiguan Yuan appears and she feels his gentleness, the negative emotions brought on by various pressures gradually subside.
In fact, from a purely objective perspective, everyone knows that Qiguan Yuan and Pei Yubai, the Crown Prince, are not a good match in terms of family background. However, everyone can clearly see Pei Yubai's overflowing love for Qiguan Yuan.
The two have become figures that many viewers deliberately pay attention to.
Viewers could all see Pei Yubai's love for Qiguan Yuan.
How could Qiguan Yuan, his partner, not see it?
Perhaps because he had lost his memory, Pei Yubai did not hide his feelings as well as he did when he was Xiu Yun Yin.
After filming, Meng Xu led his staff back to the designated camping area.
The guests then went to rest.
Qiguan Yuan took Pei Yubai's hand and led him back to the tent.
The tent was dimly lit, the tarpaulin completely blocking out the starlight. Only a small lamp was left on, casting a warm yellow light that shone on the sleeping bag, casting swaying shadows.
Pei Yubai squatted down first, picked up the coat from the sleeping bag, folded it neatly, and put it aside.
Qiguan Yuan took a nap in the afternoon. His bedding was a bit wrinkled, the blanket was rolled up in a ball in the corner, and his pillow was crooked.
He unfolded the blanket, laid it flat again, and straightened the four corners neatly.
He flipped the pillow over, patted it, and placed it in the center of the bedding.
It should naturally be tidied up so that Yuanyuan can sit comfortably.
Qiguan Yuan stood behind him, watching him bend down to spread the blanket.
Pei Yubai had broad shoulders, and when he bent over, the muscles in his back were visible through the fabric of his clothes.
He gripped a corner of the blanket with his fingers and gave it a hard shake. The blanket billowed in the air and then fell back down, creating a small breeze.
Qiguan Yuan walked over and hugged him from behind.
Her arm slipped past Pei Yubai's waist, and their fingers intertwined in front of him.
My face was pressed against his back, and I could feel his body temperature and heartbeat through his clothes.
Pei Yubai paused for a moment, then continued to smooth out the last corner of the blanket.
Qiguan Yuan rested his chin on his shoulder and brought his lips close to his ear.
Her breath brushed against his earlobe, warm, and her voice was low. " Pei Yubai."
"Um."
Are you ready to see that memory about Yun Yin?
Pei Yubai's hand stopped completely.
He put down the corner of the blanket he was clutching and turned around.
Qiguan Yuan's arm was still around his waist, and the two of them were face to face, so close that their noses were almost touching.
Pei Yubai reached out and put his arm around Qiguan Yuan's waist, pulling him closer to him. "Ready, Yuanyuan?"
Qiguan Yuan lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a small shadow under the light.
He leaned in and kissed Pei Yubai's lips lightly, just a light touch.
Then she moved upwards, her forehead touching Pei Yubai's forehead.
The moment their foreheads touched, Pei Yubai closed his eyes.
The image flooded in.
He saw the Tree of Fate atop Kunlun Mountain glow red.
The branches of the ancient tree emitted a red glow from within, and the bark cracked, allowing silvery-white light to leak out from the gaps.
A figure slid out from the tree trunk and stepped barefoot onto the grass.
It's Yuanyuan.
Then a soft glow appeared behind the tree trunk.
The ball of light landed on the ground and transformed into a human figure with long, dark hair, a white robe, and silver patterns embroidered on the hem.
The first thing that person saw when they opened their eyes was Qiguan Yuan.
When Pei Yubai saw that face clearly, he felt a sudden squeeze in his chest.
That face looked exactly like his.
Immediately afterwards, Qiguan Yuan's voice rang out on the screen. " The Yue Lao brings together fate, and the Moon Official receives fate. Since you were born because of me, then bear the fates I don't want for me."
The person's expression was calm, without question or resistance, "Okay."
The images flashed by frame by frame.
The scene depicts Xiu Yun Yin untying the knotted red thread for Qiguan Yuan under the Tree of Fate, with Qiguan Yuan nestled in his arms and falling asleep.
Xiu Yun Yin Qiguan Yuan Guanyuan in the snow, snowflakes falling all over him. Qiguan Yuan jumped down from the tree and wrapped the two of them in his tail, a scene of them snuggling together.
Xiu Yun Yin's wrists were bound by Qiguan Yuan's Dust-Settling Red Cord...
Seeing these scenes, Pei Yubai felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He saw Xiu Yun Yin feeding Qiguan Yuan candy, and he saw Xiu Yun Yin brewing osmanthus wine for Qiguan Yuan every year. Xiu Yun Yin never made a sound when he did these things, his movements were very gentle, and the tenderness in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Pei Yubai understood perfectly well that it was love.
Then the scene changed.
The black mist from the Tree of Fate pressed down from all directions.
Qiguan Yuan held a net woven from red ribbons in front of him, gripping the end of the ribbons until his knuckles turned white. He actually intended to confront the source that had given birth to him head-on.
Even from the visuals, Pei Yubai instinctively wanted to step forward and shield Qiguan Yuan.
Xiu Yun Yin did just that; he rushed over and stood in front of Qiguan Yuan.
" Yuanyuan, I was born because of you. The Yue Lao brings us together, and the Moon Official receives our fates. Your ill-fated destiny is also part of this."
Xiu Yun Yin's body became transparent. Pei Yubai watched with heartache as Qiguan Yuan desperately flung out the red ribbon. The red thread passed through Xiu Yun Yin's body again and again, passing through each time.
"I can't tie it. Why? Why can't I tie it? No... Yun Yin..."
Yuanyuan, how can you be sad? You should be a happy little fox, don't be sad for anyone.
Qiguan Yuan's voice shattered.
Pei Yubai felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest, seemingly sharing Qiguan Yuan's pain.
He saw Qiguan Yuan sitting under the Tree of Fate, his hand in a gesture of holding something, his fingers clenched, holding only air.
He saw Qiguan Yuan uproot the Tree of Fate from the Heavenly Realm and transplant it to the mortal realm.
Qiguan Yuan followed Xiu Yun Yin's example and drank a jar of wine every year, but he could no longer drink the sweet osmanthus wine.
His Yuanyuan fell in love with the taste of Longtuan Shengxue, even though it was the bitter taste he used to hate the most.
The carefree little fox is gone, and Qiguan Yuan has gradually developed a gentle personality, just like the deceased Xiu Yun Yin.
Yuanyuan spent many, many years alone.
Pei Yubai didn't know how long those years were.
All he knew was that Qiguan Yuan had been drinking alone for a long time, gazing at the Tree of Fate alone for a long time, and waiting alone for a long time.
Pei Yubai opened his eyes.
Her eyes were red.
He is Xiu Yun Yin.
So it was always him who made Yuanyuan.
He made Yuanyuan wait for him alone for so long. Pei Yubai, no, Xiu Yun Yin, how could you be so heartless?
Now he looked into Qiguan Yuan's eyes, at the tear stains that hadn't yet dried in those peach blossom eyes.
When Qiguan Yuan showed him his memories just now, he cried again.
He's the one who made his Yuanyuan wait so long.
He made his Yuanyuan suffer so much bitterness all by himself.
It also taught his Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, gentleness, forbearance, and how to bear everything alone.
Pei Yubai hugged Qiguan Yuan tightly.
She wrapped her arms around his back, pressed him against her chest, and rested her chin on the top of his head.
Qiguan Yuan buried his face in the crook of Pei Yubai's shoulders trembling.
"I'm sorry, Yuanyuan... I'm so sorry..."
Pei Yubai's voice was hoarse, forced out from deep in his throat as if something was blocking it.
"It's my fault for making you wait so long."
Pei Yubai and buried his face in Qiguan Yuan's hair. The silver strands of hair clung to the back of Qiguan Yuan, cool and mingling with his tears.
" Yuanyuan..."
"It's my fault. I should have come to find you sooner. Why did I forget you?"
He hugged Qiguan Yuan even tighter.
Qiguan Yuan could sense that Pei Yubai was very sad and felt guilty.
Qiguan Yuan raised his arm and wrapped it around Pei Yubai's back, placing his palm on Pei's back and gently stroking it.
Pei Yubai.
"Um."
"I've already said, you don't need to apologize."
"Yes, I want it."
Seeing him like this, Qiguan Yuan helplessly leaned in and kissed him gently.
"At least, I've waited for you, haven't I? That's enough."
