The live chat went completely wild the moment Yan Ruanning reached out her hand.
Holy crap!!! She reached out her hand!!!
"Mr. Cheng!!! May I have this dance with you?! I want this engraved on my tombstone!!!"
[ Yan Ruanning, you're so good at this! You're such a good woman!!!]
[ Cheng Che, put your hand on it right now!!!]
[From this angle, in this moonlight, with this outstretched hand, I'm gone.]
[I declare this to be the sweetest scene in all three seasons of Walking the Flower Road Together, bar none]
[I agree with what was said earlier, but I have to add something, and this is also the most expensive shot. Look at Cheng Che's LV haute couture outfit Yan Ruanning's dress; that one frame is worth a house.]
The trending topics on all major platforms were updated within minutes.
#Mr. Cheng, may I have this dance?# (First comment from a user)
The technical team behind the Mango TV stared at the real-time data on the screen, their palms sweating profusely.
The CTO gripped the expansion button, muttering "Stabilize, stabilize, stabilize," while those around him dared not breathe.
The data curve spiked upwards, then dipped slightly, and then continued to rise.
The CTO pressed the button, the capacity expansion took effect, the curve jittered, and then stabilized.
He slumped in the chair, the back of his shirt soaked with sweat.
"If it crashes again," he said to his colleague next to him, "I'm going to crash."
His colleague patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.
Both of them turned their gazes toward the conference room at the same time. The producer who had been brought in was sitting inside, his expression as if something had been ripped from his face.
He was thinking of Lu Heng.
Lu Heng is ranked second among the four top celebrities, with high national recognition and good variety show skills.
He went to great lengths to invite him, and initially thought it was a sure win.
But now, looking at the scene on the screen where Yan Ruanning reached out to invite him to dance, and seeing the comments in the barrage such as " Cheng Che's last episode" and "Who would watch without Cheng Che?", he suddenly felt that he might have played his card in the wrong place.
Even when Lu Heng was at the peak of " Running Man's " popularity, he never caused the platform to crash.
He does have popularity, but it's a "stable popularity," not an "explosive popularity."
Cheng Che, who can crash a server three times on his own, is simply not in the same league.
The producer sat in the conference room, and no one spoke to him.
He didn't speak to anyone, just sat there with a somewhat blank expression.
The comments section was still flooded with messages.
[Wait, why is Che Baby spacing out?]
Was he stunned? Yan Ruanning reached out her hand, but he didn't react.
Isn't this too sudden?
[No, that expression on his face doesn't look like he's just spacing out; he's thinking about something.]
Why is Che Baby spacing out? Is he reminiscing about something?
Cheng Che was indeed lost in thought.
He sat there, looking at Yan Ruanning's outstretched hand, when suddenly his mind flashed back to another hand.
The night the recording of " Life Slowed Down " wrapped up in Hang City.
The moonlight filtered through the leaves of the large banyan tree on the playground, casting dappled patterns of light on the ground like scattered silver.
That day, he stood under the banyan tree, extended his hand to Yan Ruanning, and said, " Miss Xu, may I invite you to dance?"
That was a long time ago.
Back then, he wasn't the Cheng Che we know today, and Yan Ruanning wasn't the Yan Ruanning know today either.
There was a layer of relationship between them: "The homeroom teacher's daughter" and "the homeroom teacher's student," which neither of them dared to reveal.
But now, Yan Ruanning stood before him, moonlight streaming in from the ballroom windows, illuminating her profile.
She stretched out her hand, bent slightly at the waist, and her eyes were bright.
She returned the words she had spoken to him years ago.
Cheng Che looked up and smiled.
Then he reached out and placed his hand in Yan Ruanning's palm.
[ Iconic Moment ] triggered.
"It would be my great honor," he said.
The live chat exploded.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!]
He said it was an honor!!! He said it!!!
[This line is absolutely brilliant, so gentlemanly and gentle, I'm smitten!]
[ Yan Ruanning smiled, look, she smiled.]
She grasped his hand!!! She grasped it!!!
[The ship I ship is real!!! At least it is real at this moment!!!]
[I don't care, tonight I'm the happiest CP fan!]
[I took thirty screenshots of Cheng Che's smile, his bending over, and his outstretched hand.]
[I need to watch this part a hundred times.]
[You did this in the last episode of "Walking the Flower Road Together," you really know how to make people reluctant to say goodbye.]
Yan Ruanning looked down at the hand in her palm.
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles. The moonlight shone on the back of his hands, outlining the contours of his knuckles with a faint silver edge.
Her gaze moved from her fingertips to her wrist, where she wore the racket strap she had given to Cheng Che.
She suddenly felt that the scene was a bit unreal, like a dream she had long ago, replaying itself on another night.
In the instant Yan Ruanning was stunned...
Cheng Che took out his phone with his other hand and played a song.
As the music started, he took her hand.
But before he could put his arm around her waist, Yan Ruanning took a step forward and put her other hand on his shoulder.
Cheng Che was taken aback.
Yan Ruanning raised her chin and said gently, "This time, I'll take you."
The live chat exploded with comments again.
She said she'd bring it!!!
[ Yan Ruanning, you're so cool!!!]
[Turning the tables! Turning the tables! Turning the tables!]
[ Cheng Che's stunned expression, hahaha]
He probably didn't expect to have the initiative taken away.
But you see he smiled; he gave way.
At that moment, music started playing, and this time, she led him away.
It's " The Waltz of Love ".
"Stand on tiptoe, lift your skirt, and let my hand gently rest on your shoulder--"
Yan Ruanning led Cheng Che out of the dance hall.
It was as if a valiant princess had rescued a captive prince, and the two ran towards freedom and hope on the main road.
The production crew made way, and the cameras followed behind.
They walked to the big tree outside the dance hall; the moonlight was just right.
one two three.
The tree canopy filtered the moonlight into fragments, which fell onto the two people's shoulders and hair.
Yan Ruanning's skirt slowly parted as she turned, and Cheng Che's steps followed her rhythm. The two figures stretched, overlapped, separated, and overlapped again in the moonlight.
The music was coming from the phone; the volume wasn't loud, but it was very clear in a quiet environment.
"Dancing gracefully, breathing softly, how sweet is the Waltz of Love-- "
The Iconic Moment has been triggered again.
Under the big tree, in the moonlight.
Two figures slowly circled, while the screen was already filled with so many comments that the image was no longer visible.
Some people took screenshots, some recorded screen recordings, and some posted in the super topic saying, "Tonight I am the happiest person in the world."
The internet in Xia Country has witnessed an unprecedented surge in CP (couple) fans!
