Tang Tang soon met up with Shi Xinxin, carrying her luggage.
Watching Shi Xinxin complete her check-in and baggage drop by herself.
Xu Jiayi checked his watch, "We still have some time. Shall we sit down and chat?" Inwardly, Xu Jiayi was truly reluctant to part with Shi Xinxin. After all, she was the person he liked. The thought of not seeing her for such a long time made him miss her.
Shi Xinxin didn't begrudge this little bit of time. After all, she would miss Tang Tang after being apart for a year.
As for Xu Jiayi, Shi Xinxin had always considered him a good friend, and missing him was inevitable. "Okay, let's sit down and chat for a while."
With that, the three of them sat down to wait. Xu Jiayi spoke first, "Right, Shi Xinxin. If you go to America, we'll definitely video call. Let me see you."
Hearing Xu Jiayi say this, Shi Xinxin couldn't help but smile, "Please, Xu Jiayi. It's daytime for one of us and night for the other. How can we video call? You shouldn't overthink it."
"Why can't we? As long as you have time, video call me. I'm always free."
Hearing Xu Jiayi's enthusiasm, Shi Xinxin actually felt like laughing. This man was too funny. Like a young girl, talking about wanting to video call.
Tang Tang, who was listening, also couldn't help but want to laugh, but she held back, not wanting to be too much.
Shi Xinxin reluctantly agreed to the childish Xu Jiayi.
The moment of farewell arrived quickly. Truth be told, Shi Xinxin was very reluctant to part with Xu Jiayi and Tang Tang. Although there had been a sad past with Sheng Chenjin in this place, in terms of relationships, Shi Xinxin felt very fortunate.
"A hug?" Shi Xinxin walked over to Tang Tang.
Tang Tang had always been a relatively independent and fashionable woman, but at this moment, Shi Xinxin did not expect Tang Tang to also shed tears and feel sad. Although she didn't actually cry, Shi Xinxin could already see the tears gathering in Tang Tang's eyes.
Shi Xinxin hugged Tang Tang tightly, "We won't see each other for a year. I'll miss you so, so much."
Tang Tang, in turn, hugged Shi Xinxin, as if comforting her. "Didn't we separate for a long time when I went to study abroad? Shi Xinxin, a year is very fast. Come back quickly. When you return, you'll be the carefree you you used to be. Promise me."
Shi Xinxin nodded repeatedly, "Of course, that's a given. When I return, you'll see the Shi Xinxin who bothers you every day, just like before."
The two best friends then parted, looking deeply into each other's eyes.
Shi Xinxin walked up to Xu Jiayi. Before Shi Xinxin could say anything, Xu Jiayi immediately opened his arms to her.
Shi Xinxin was stunned for a moment, as she had not expected Xu Jiayi to open his arms for a hug, because she had no intention of hugging him.
Xu Jiayi also sensed Shi Xinxin's hesitation and frowned, "Why are you so stingy? Not even a hug?"
Shi Xinxin then chuckled and generously gave Xu Jiayi a hug.
Xu Jiayi was satisfied. "When I have time, I'll come to America to see you."
Shi Xinxin had to admit that if Xu Jiayi wanted to be friends, they would probably be very good friends.
So, Shi Xinxin nodded, "I'll look forward to the big star's visit. I'll definitely roll out the red carpet to welcome you then."
Hearing Shi Xinxin say this, Xu Jiayi put on a proud expression and ruffled her hair. "I hope so. Remember your words. Prepare the red carpet as soon as you get to America. I'm absolutely certain I'll come to see you."
The three of them stood at the airport and burst into laughter.
The beautiful announcement urging boarding sounded again, and Shi Xinxin had to wave goodbye to her two good friends once more. "Goodbye, Tangtang, Xu Jiayi."
Tang Tang and Xu Jiayi also waved goodbye to Shi Xinxin. The two of them stood at the security check until Shi Xinxin disappeared from sight.
"Interested in grabbing a drink?" Tang Tang suggested first.
Xu Jiayi was a little surprised by the suggestion, but after his surprise, he nodded with a charming demeanor, "Of course, I'd be honored."
Tang Tang shook her keys and asked, "Shall we drive to the coffee shop together?"
Xu Jiayi nodded. So, the two of them walked towards the parking lot.
The plane took off quickly. Amidst the dizzying sensation of takeoff, the events of Shi Xinxin's days in this city flashed through her mind.
Shi Xinxin looked down at the city she was leaving. Her vision became increasingly blurry, and the city grew smaller and smaller, eventually becoming a tiny dot hidden among the clouds.
Shi Xinxin couldn't help but shed tears. After all, she was reluctant to leave. But at this moment, Shi Xinxin felt a sense of relief. In this city, she had been forced to put on too many disguises, feigning strength for everyone around her. This was Shi Xinxin.
Now, in another strange city, Shi Xinxin felt she could truly relax. But the moment she relaxed, she felt a deep pain in her heart, a feeling that grew increasingly unbearable.
Xu Jiayi and Tang Tang met at a coffee shop. It was a very cozy and upscale establishment, difficult to enter without membership.
Xu Jiayi looked around the surroundings and nodded at Tang Tang. "Indeed, Miss Tang is very discreet."
Tang Tang finished ordering and said with a smile, "It's necessary. After all, you're a big star. It wouldn't be good if you were photographed. I don't want to attract any scandals."
"Miss Tang comes from a prominent family, so it's indeed not suitable for her to be involved in any scandals with people in the entertainment industry." Xu Jiayi knew of Tang Tang. After all, Tang Tang's family was considered a prestigious clan in this city.
Tang Tang maintained her graceful smile. "Prominent family is just flattery from others. I don't care, but I don't want to cause trouble for a big star."
Xu Jiayi waved his hand with a smile. "Miss Tang, please don't call me a big star. Hearing 'big star' makes me a little uncomfortable. You can just call me Xu Jiayi."
Tang Tang nodded. "Then I won't be polite. I'll call you by your name. You can also call me Tang Tang directly. We are equals."
Xu Jiayi laughed heartily. He found this Tang Tang to be quite an interesting person.
