Chapter 212
President Song showed with his actions that he truly loved her. The previous rumors circulating in the industry that Zhong Ruanxing was a gold digger who seduced the rich Song family were shattered on this flight. Several guests watched as Song JinXing held her as gently as if she would melt in his mouth or break in his hands, not knowing whether to feel jealous or admiring.
Exhausted until midnight last night, Zhong Ruanxing was unable to catch up on her sleep in the car because she was reluctant to leave her boyfriend. Now with her boyfriend by her side, she could finally sleep in peace.
Song JinXing opened his laptop to work, his excellent side profile causing several artists next to him to frequently glance over. After the plane reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant began serving the first class cabin passengers, walking over to Song JinXing to ask if he needed any food or drinks. He only politely made a “shush” gesture.
My girlfriend is sleeping, please do not disturb her.
The flight attendant understood and left. When she asked the next passenger, she unconsciously lowered her own voice.
The guest spectators: ...So annoying!!
While feeling sour, they also couldn’t help but secretly watch, and even gradually found the joy of “shipping” them...
Aside from their identities as artists pitted against each other, they were also ordinary people who would go crazy with sweet romance! Damn, who would have thought there would be a day when I actually ship my rival and her boyfriend!
After a nice nap, Zhong Ruanxing woke up to discover the other guests looking at her without the sharp hostility from when they first boarded the plane.
It seemed everyone had convinced themselves during her nap to reach an agreement to get along peacefully and not fight for the rest of the trip.
Zhong Ruanxing thought it was a bit strange. After sitting back down, she secretly moved next to Song JinXing and asked quietly, “Did you threaten them?”
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why these popular female artists were so well-behaved! She had mentally prepared herself for catfights before coming!
Song JinXing looked at her innocently. “I was working the whole time.”
Zhong Ruanxing contemplated, “Oh, then they must have been scared off by your imposing manner!”
Song JinXing closed his laptop, rang the service bell, then said to her, “I think my manner is very mild right now. Hungry? What do you want to eat?”
The flight attendant quickly came over with a tablet for ordering food. Zhong Ruanxing happily started ordering.
The spectating guests: Secretly whispering is so sweet! Say more!
The first stop of the show’s itinerary was Greece. They would be traveling through several scenic Northern European countries over the next half month, searching for rarely-seen wondrous sights. After getting off the plane, the filming by the show’s crew began immediately.
The six guests gathered in the airport lobby to start their half-month journey pursuing amazing natural sights.
Zhong Ruanxing pushed her luggage cart, watching as her boyfriend seamlessly blended in with the filming crew. The lead director even wore an honored expression while shaking his hand! Turns out that without her knowing, her boyfriend had become the show’s biggest investor.
Of course the investor would want to follow the crew everywhere!
It really was an accompaniment from start to finish.
Thus, the filming crew discovered that the guests this season were extremely well-behaved. Everyone was modest, enthusiastic, patient, fully demonstrating the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, turning this journey originally meant for catfights into a happy tourist group laughing merrily.
Three seasons already, three seasons!
They had never captured such harmonious footage before.
Without needing to turn her head, she knew who it was.
She naturally leaned against Song JinXing as he sat down beside her. The two snuggled under the crystalline starry sky without saying a word.
At first still persevering, as soon as she had something to lean on, Zhong Ruanxing’s drowsiness instantly surged forth. Her head pillowed on her boyfriend’s broad shoulder, she sank into light slumber. Song JinXing gently lowered his shoulder and wrapped his arm around her back to hug her body, allowing her to sleep more comfortably.
After some unknown amount of time passed, Zhong Ruanxing suddenly heard a gentle voice calling next to her ear, “Little star, the aurora is out.”
Still groggy, she then heard cheers erupt from the camp behind her: “The aurora is here!”
Everyone who had dozed off instantly woke up. The tumbled guests also hurriedly climbed to their feet. At some point, swathes of pink auroras filled the night sky, their glows drifting past like gentle silks across water, stunningly beautiful beyond words.
Zhong Ruanxing had never seen such a pretty pink. This was the wondrous creation of nature itself, scenery that no human ability could obtain.
She stared fixedly at the sky, afraid to miss a single second of this rare sight.
Next to her ear, she suddenly heard Song JinXing’s gentle, low voice. “Little star.”
Zhong Ruanxing did not turn her head: "Hmm?"
A glimpse of pink light flashed in the corner of her eye, and her hand tucked in her sleeve was pulled out. A cold sensation circled her ring finger.
Zhong Ruanxing was stunned and looked down sharply to see a ring slipped onto her finger.
The pink diamond on the ring glittered as beautifully as the aurora overhead, shining with a touching brilliance, as if it was made from the lights in the sky and finally condensed into this large, bright diamond ring on her finger.
She held her breath for a moment, and looked up at the person in front of her.
Song JinXing smiled, his deep eyes reflecting the brilliance of the myriad lights in the night sky. "Will you marry me?"
The noisy chatter around them had somehow gone silent. It seemed the entire camp was waiting for her answer. The executive producer excitedly covered her mouth, frantically signaling to the cameraman. Sitting on a rotating platform, the cameraman was pushed around in circles by the staff to film this picturesque proposal scene worthy of an idol drama.
At this moment, the aurora was magnificent.
Zhong Ruanxing blinked and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If I say yes, does that mean we'll swap worlds again tomorrow?"
Song JinXing revealed a helpless smile. "Possibly."
The two gazed at each other for a while. Finally, Zhong Ruanxing laughed and opened her arms wide. "Then let's swap. We can just get married earlier."
On camera, the two embraced under the vast pink lights. The diamond ring on Zhong Ruanxing's finger shone even brighter than the aurora.
A pink aurora was a rare and wondrous sight in this world.
But it would eventually appear.
Because someone had always been waiting for it.
Just as Song JinXing had always been waiting for his star to appear.
And she would eventually appear, lighting up the night sky like an aurora, illuminating his life.
