Because the crowd was surging forward and only Qiao Lian was trying to retreat, it was inevitable that she tumbled.
It was winter and her garments were thick, hence, it wasn’t a painful fall.
But…
The situation became chaotic.
If the crowd continued to press forward towards Shen Liangchuan, they could trample on her and injure her.
She widened her eyes in fright and waved both her hands in attempt to fend off the crowd.
But the people were all frantically looking in Best Actor Shen’s direction, how would they really make way for her?
Someone on the front halted and the people behind collided with him.
At a critical moment, the crowd suddenly stopped moving.
Qiao Lian looked up in terror. She had expected a great collision but that did not happen. On the contrary, there were audible gasps and exciting squeals!
Then she saw that Shen Liangchuan, who had initially been about to step into the hotel, had suddenly turned around, bypassed the security and was striding in her direction.
Qiao Lian froze on the spot.
She wanted to stand up but before she could do so, the man was already standing in front of her.
Qiao Lian was stunned and she found herself unable to move.
There were only a few people standing between them now.
She could sense his familiar presence and see his familiar face—he was so close, only a breath away.
She stared at him in wonderment and suddenly snapped back to the present. Pressing her palms against the ground, she quickly pushed herself back up on her feet.
Then she lowered her head and hid herself in the crowd, trying to melt and disappear among the people.
The man before her halted all of a sudden.
The fans surrounding him were in a frenzy, calling out shrilly, asking him to shake hands and his autograph.
He was mobbed by the people.
His assistant and the security officers stepped in to form a barrier between him and the fans.
As Shen Liangchuan stood there, he heard a fan say, “Best Actor Shen, why did you come back out here all of a sudden?”
Qiao Lian couldn’t help but purse her lips when she heard this question.
Indeed, why had he come back here all of the sudden? Had something happened?
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank back when he heard this question.
Come back here all of a sudden…
He had no idea too as to why he had come back here again.
He had only felt as though he had heard her voice, so he hadn’t thought twice before striding back out.
But among the sea of fans, he couldn’t even spot her face.
At this point, Shen Liangchuan thought that his ears must have been playing tricks on him.
He drew his chin taut and said unhurriedly, “The weather is cold and all of you here must have waited a long time. Give each person here today a cup of hot milk tea.”
The moment he said this, the crowd of fans started to go wild again.
“Ahhhh!! Best Actor Shen is too dashing!”
“Best Actor Shen is so considerate!”
Those words fell on Shen Liangchuan’s and Qiao Lian’s ears.
They were only separated by a small distance of a few bodies.
Yet they could not acknowledge each other.
Amidst the crowd, Qiao Lian had to extend her own imagination.
She clenched her fists tightly as she listened to the words of admiration from the crowd. Her heart was full of pride and honor.
She could only keep looking, as Song Cheng whispered something in Shen Liangchuan’s ear and the latter nodded.
As though looking for something, his gaze lingered on the crowd and swept through it one more time. Then he looked away and followed Song Cheng into the hotel lobby once more.
After Shen Liangchuan had left, the fans were still chatting delightedly about what he had just done.
Finally, when the cups of milk tea for the fans were distributed, Qiao Lian clutched hers tightly in her hands. Her eyes blurred suddenly as they turned moist and that stinging sensation in her nose came back.
