Chapter 5 shows that luck is on your side too~

Before dawn, in what is said to be the darkest hour.

Shen Yuheng appeared on the observation deck dressed in black clothes. If it weren't for a pair of white shoes reflecting a faint light, he would have almost blended into the dark night.

When he arrived at the observation deck, several tourists had already arrived before him and were whispering among themselves.

Shen Yuheng turned and went to another viewing platform.

This hotel has two viewing platforms. One is the spacious one we just saw, with a wide view and facing the snow-capped mountains. The other one also has a view of the snow-capped mountains, but it is located at a corner of the hotel and is much smaller.

Shen Yuheng walked over and saw a running camera through the glass.

By its dim light, I could see a person standing not far from the camera.

He hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and went inside.

The person inside seemed to be startled by the sound of the door being pushed open, and turned around to look in his direction.

But in that very moment, in the darkness where Shen Yuheng couldn't even see the other person's expression clearly, he distinctly felt that person's gaze.

Shen Yuheng leaned back slightly, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

Fortunately, the person quickly looked away and focused on the direction of the snow-capped mountain.

Shen Yuheng also stood in the corner on the other side of the camera, his gaze fixed on the snow-capped mountain based on the direction he had observed during the day.

As time passed, the darkest hour gradually faded, the sky became misty, and even the distant snow-capped mountains became faintly visible.

During the long wait, the observation deck was so quiet that Shen Yuheng even forgot there was another person there.

Until, in the silence, the sound of clothes rubbing together came from behind. Shen Yuheng turned his head to look at the sound, and his heart skipped a beat.

The sun rose, bringing with it a ray of golden light.

He seemed to see a miracle: one was the distant snow-capped mountain about to be lit up, and the other was the person in front of him bathed in the first rays of dawn.

The woman was intently adjusting the camera. Although she had pulled the hood of her sweatshirt up, a few unruly strands of hair still lingered by her ears in the autumn breeze.

As the golden light outlined the snow-capped mountain, it also shone on the profile of the person before them.

Shen Yuheng took two steps back and unconsciously took out his phone to capture the scene.

The sound of the camera shutter startled Jiang Xinglan, who was adjusting the equipment.

Jiang Xinglan turned her head slightly to look at the source of the sound.

Shen Yuheng looked flustered and frantically fiddled with his phone.

"Aren't you going to take pictures?" Jiang Xinglan asked, pointing in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.

"Take a picture..." Shen Yuheng, who was usually calm and composed, was a little nervous at this moment. "You have to take a picture."

Shen Yuheng pointed the camera at the snow-capped mountain, which had already been set on fire.

Golden light poured down, giving it the most sacred color.

This kind of beauty cannot be expressed in words.

For a moment, both of them were immersed in the beautiful scenery before them.

As the last ridge of the snow-capped mountain was illuminated, Shen Yuheng turned his head to the side again.

Fate truly smiled upon him once again. The last time was eight years ago, when her words cleared the fog for him; and now, there was her focused profile.

At this moment, not only did the snow-capped mountain receive its golden light, but it also received its own light.

Perhaps sensing the gaze, Jiang Xinglan turned her head again.

It met Shen Yuheng's gaze directly.

His gaze was deep, and Jiang Xinglan seemed to understand its meaning—he seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Jiang Xinglan blinked, wanting to investigate further, but found that the emotion had disappeared.

Perhaps it was just her imagination, Jiang Xinglan shrugged slightly and looked away.

Shen Yuheng never expected to make eye contact with Jiang Xinglan.

Almost instantly, Shen Yuheng adjusted his emotions.

Fortunately, she quickly looked away, which made Shen Yuheng's tense body relax a little.

"Teacher Jiang, is this your first time visiting Yuncheng?"

Shen Yuheng took two steps toward her and admired the beautiful scenery with her.

“Yes,” she replied, “where is Mr. Shen?”

“It’s the first time too,” Shen Yuheng said, a hint of pleasure in his voice, “but I was very lucky.”

“Indeed, it’s very lucky to see such a view,” Jiang Xinglan nodded in agreement.

As the golden light faded, the snow-capped mountain regained its former sanctity.

Jiang Xinglan packed up the equipment and prepared to leave.

“Teacher Jiang,” Shen Yuheng said from behind her.

Jiang Xinglan turned around upon hearing this.

Shen Yuheng stood tall and straight, enveloped in the gradually brightening morning light.

"Thank you for your help before." Shen Yuheng's tone and expression were sincere and frank.

Jiang Xinglan thought for a moment and assumed he was referring to the emergency situation of temporarily serving as a program consultant.

She nodded. "It just so happens that I was able to help."

“But it has been a great help to me,” Shen Yuheng took two steps forward, as if he had finally made up his mind, and asked cautiously, “In the future, if I have any professional questions, can I ask you for advice?”

Looking into his sincere and clear eyes, Jiang Xinglan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Jiang Xinglan brought up her social media profile and showed it to Shen Yuheng.

Shen Yuheng quickly scanned the code with his phone, and the result displayed on the page was: J_Stella.

A moment later, Jiang Xinglan received a friend request. She tapped "accept" with a slight movement of her finger.

After politely saying goodbye to Shen Yuheng, Jiang Xinglan was the first to leave the observation deck.

Shen Yuheng, who remained where he was, did not immediately open Jiang Xinglan's Moments, but instead posted a status update:

[Shen Yuheng V: The weather is nice, and my luck is good too~ #StarTrailFragments#]

[Image: Golden Mountain under the Sun]

"@Hengxingxingqiu: Wow! Beautiful! So lucky!"

"@Kouzixue: Haven't you guys noticed that the #StarTrailFragments# series is something special?!"

"@珩星-小土豆: Replying to @磕学者: What do you mean!"

"@Kouzixue: Please go to the homepage!"

[Kong expert: I recently browsed through @沈聿珩V's posts and found that the hashtag #StarTrailFragments# first appeared eight years ago!]

The post read: "#StarTrailFragments#. I did the math, and Shen Yuheng had just finished his college entrance exams around that time. I discovered that he appeared on a weekly show called 'Entertainment in Progress' as an audience member and got a few shots! The recording time of this show coincides with the posting time of the first update!"

For the past eight years, this series has been continuously updated, covering a wide range of topics, but it can generally be divided into three categories: First, topics related to scientific experiments, mainly the latest scientific research results; second, topics related to astronomy, mainly various stars and the like; and third, some ambiguous content, like what was published today, which gives the impression of being in a good mood. Combining this with previous ideal type events, I categorize this type as a series of subtle confessions.

In conclusion, if my speculation is correct, then it means that Shen Yuheng has had someone secretly watching him since he was 18 years old. His Star Trail series was written specifically for her, and his ideal type is also described as her.

I interpret his post today as meaning that Shen Yuheng not only saw the golden sunrise on the mountains in Yuncheng, but also met the person he wanted to see!

"@Hengxing-Microscope Expert: I've finished reading it, and it seems to make some sense!"

"@珩星-小兔子: Upstairs, you're not the only one who thinks this way!"

"@珩星-只想搞钱: I've finished reading it. If such a person really existed, what kind of person would they be to make my brother remember them for eight years!"

"@Professional Gossip Eater: I came here because of the juicy gossip, and after watching it, I'm actually finding it kind of interesting!"

"@Shining Scholar: Replying to @Gossip Expert: Right, right! I also discovered this by chance! If it's true, it's really quite a ship!"

Although several of Shen Yuheng's longtime fans saw @Kexuesheng's post, they did not choose to act rashly, but instead started discussing it in their small group.

"Shen Yuhengxing Native: @Hengxingxingqiu, is there really something going on with my brother?!"

"Hengxing Planet: I don't know either."

"Hengxing Guide: @Hengxingxingqiu, didn't you say before that my brother seemed to be in a relationship?"

"Hengxing Planet: I'm just guessing, but it's similar to what this 'keyboard scientist' thinks."

"Yu Jianheng: I always felt that he was tense all these years, but he seems to have relaxed a bit recently."

"Heng Cosmic Observatory: Um, can I say that when I've been following your schedule lately, I've clearly felt that you're in a much better mood?"

"Hengxing Guide: What happened? Explain in detail!"

"Heng Universe Observatory: It's just that recently, when my brother wasn't filming a program in Yuncheng, I could clearly feel that he was much more relaxed."

"Heng Universe Observatory: At first, I thought it was because my brother finally won the Best Actor award, and his mentality would change a little."

"Heng Universe Observatory: But considering recent events, something seems a bit off."

Heng Cosmic Observatory: Uh, I don't know how to describe it either. I'll post the pictures, and you'll understand!

"Heng Universe Observatory: Images xN"

The people in the group fell silent when they saw the picture; Shen Yuheng was indeed quite different.

It's a visible ease, a joy that comes from the heart.

Yu Jianheng: How about we ask the agent?

"Hengxing Star: I think I'll pass. Let's see if my brother responds first."

"Yu Jianhengguang: What if you don't respond?"

"Hengxing Planet: That explains a lot."

"Hengxing Star Ball: First, guide fans not to make random guesses and not to bring trouble to their brother."

"Yu Jianheng and others: Okay."

Following this, many influential fans posted updates, urging everyone not to speculate and to view the matter rationally.

He frankly stated that most people are attracted to his brother because of his professional abilities, and he hopes that everyone will pay more attention to his work rather than his personal life.

Even so, in some unseen corners, some female fans are still quietly collecting information from all sides, trying to find the person that "Shen Yuheng secretly loves".

---

Shen Yuheng, who had already returned to his room, was unaware of everything that was happening online.

Little did they know that his biggest secret was almost discovered by his own fans, or rather, it could be said that it had already been discovered.

Shen Yuheng opened Jiang Xinglan's Moments. His finger swiped across the screen. Most of the content in Moments consisted of reprints from journals, as well as some notifications, such as messages like "I'm not in the lab one afternoon."

Shen Yuheng turned off his phone, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a hint of disappointment, "It's just a social media app for work."

But this sense of loss didn't last long for Shen Yuheng, because he quickly found a reason: "It's to be expected, after all, she and I are just strangers..."

As he thought about it, Shen Yuheng's mood, which had just brightened, plummeted again. "Perhaps she only exchanged contact information with me today out of politeness."

Silence fell over Shen Yuheng's room for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuheng's voice finally rang out again in the room.

“However!” Shen Yuheng sat up straight abruptly, “Having a way to contact me is a good start!”

Jiang Xinglan, who was also in the room, leaned back on the sofa and checked Shen Yuheng's WeChat Moments, which included his daily life on set, movie promotions, and some landscape photos.

Jiang Xinglan randomly clicked on one of the photos and found that the composition and lighting were very good, showing that the photographer had excellent aesthetic sense.

Jiang Xinglan scrolled down further, completely surprised that Shen Yuheng would add her directly using his private number.

For some reason, at this moment, a strange sense of guilt arose in her heart.
