The picture shows Ji Shao's signature to Zhou Xiao, with the background replaced by an aurora.
[Ahhhh, it's a TO signature! My Shao character is so beautiful! If it were someone else, I'd be envious and jealous, but because it's my sister who received it, I feel inexplicably happy~]
Xiao Shao is so thoughtful. I also wish Teacher Xindong a happy first anniversary in advance. Our first website is almost a year old!
[Looking at the to sign, the body feels warm]
[So you only saw the autographs. There are still four front-row tickets! Sis, you're my real sister! If they don't want them, you can hit me!]
I've been following the teacher's photography for a while now, and it's truly amazing! Together with Xiao Shao, I wish the teacher's photography career great success!
[I still remember that when my sister first launched the website, she gave everyone some merchandise. You deserve it!!!]
【……】
Fan clubs, which had been frantically pushing for group tickets in the final stages of the campaign, inexplicably quieted down after seeing this post. Ji Shaojia, inspired by this post, began to reflect on the past.
What was Ji Shao doing around this time last year? He was probably packing his bags and heading to the trainee dorms alone. Back then, he was a blank slate, now a glittering star. The sudden rush of nostalgia surprised even the fan club's vote counter, who was counting the group votes, by the sudden surge in interest.
As for the other fan groups, it really was the end of the line. Because of Ji Shao's huge lead, the remaining eight groups all tacitly scrambled for the second-place ticket.
There was originally a wave of morale boost before the group ticket sales ended, but seeing that a single station had sold four front-row tickets to the inner field, which were being scalped to exorbitant prices, and looking at the upgrade subsidy that we had originally booked, we now feel a bit uneasy.
As for Zhou Xiao, seeing the comments under his blog post, he suddenly realized how close he was to the one-year anniversary of his website launch. After a moment of deep emotion, he carefully placed the merchandise he had received into his cabinet for safekeeping.
As word of the lucky draw spread, many people rushed to try their luck, as the restrictions weren't limited to Ji Shao fans. Among the passersby, a fan of his teammate, sporting a flashy self-portrait, joined the retweet effortlessly.
Zhou Xiao didn't mind the situation. Chasing stars is all about excitement. In her opinion, the hype generated by these four tickets already outweighed the value of the tickets themselves.
With the May Day concert approaching, Zhou Xiao has begun to focus on post-production. In addition to editing commercials and blockbusters for XS, he also takes time to support the marketing account.
Just like that, a few days passed quickly, and it was time for the finals of "Running Man." This show has always had solid ratings, and even experienced a minor explosion in the last episode, making it the undisputed number one variety show on the air.
As for today's finale, it's clear how much the production team values it. Originally set to air in prime time, it's now been moved forward to 7:30.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm here!" The knock on the door was accompanied by Qi Sisi's loud voice standing at the door.
Zhou Xiao walked to the door and opened it for the other party. When Qi Sisi entered the hotel, the hotel housekeeper had already reported to her, so she also went to the lobby first to wait for the other party.
Leaning against the door frame, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but smile as he watched Qi Sisi, with her hands full, carry the McDonald's family bucket she bought into the audio-visual room as if she was in an empty place.
This was NINE STAR's limited-edition Lunar New Year bucket, and it featured Ji Shao. Zhou Xiao remembered that when Qi Sisi ordered before, she would make a special note and call the restaurant to request Ji Shao's bucket, even reaching a friendly agreement with the McDonald's manager.
The manager would notify her of NINE STAR materials, and Qi Sisi would use her fan group connections to help her join the group. Both of them clearly felt they had gotten the better deal.
Picking up the bag of fruit handed to him, Zhou Xiao said helplessly, "I have everything here. Did Auntie ask you to bring it over?"
Qi Sisi leaned halfway out of the audio-visual room and chuckled a few times, feeling a bit embarrassed. "My mom wasn't happy when she saw the fried chicken burgers I bought, so she forced me to bring them. You should eat more!"
Before Zhou Xiao could wash the fruit, she was startled by Qi Sisi blinking at her. Zhou Xiao thought for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Put it away, put it away. I'm not stopping you from looking."
Before the show even started, Zhou Xiao took out the merchandise he'd received. Huayao's official weekly merchandise was already on sale, but aside from influential KOLs who got their hands on it for promotional purposes, Zhou Xiao was likely the only fan who actually had the set.
Moreover, the set Zhou Xiao had in his hand was the complete Ji Shao collection, which made Qi Sisi envious. Looking at the unique and signed postcards, tears of envy streamed down her face.
After the viewing, the show officially began. It started with a thrilling capture sequence. According to Reuters, there would be a resurrection segment in the final episode, which is why the production team didn't let the hunters show any mercy to the artists.
Zhou Xiao felt incredibly nervous every time she saw the camera focus on Ji Shao. In the opening scene, Ji Shao was wearing the same short, silver-white tracksuit worn by the sprint team, and his strong, healthy forearms were clearly visible. In other words, the scratches she saw on set were likely from this particular recording.
Under the half-man-high intangible cultural heritage fish lantern, Ji Shao quickly lowered his body while sizing up the hunters lingering near him. A sense of oppression and suffocation washed over him.
"One, two, three..." Ji Shao silently counted the number of circles as he played hide-and-seek with the hunter. Judging from his experience as a veteran player and his own previous encounters with the hunter, this one was quite proactive. "But more than three circles would be the limit of the hunter's ability to continue tracking."
The two people watching the game in the room held their breath at the same time. Even though Zhou Xiao was nervous, he couldn't help but admire the strong atmosphere created by the production team.
Suddenly, a shrill ringtone rang out. The scene switched to show that it was the resident comedian Yang Cheng calling Ji Shao, intending to disrupt him. In the previous group confrontation mission, the sprint team was divided into two opposing groups.
"Oh! That call came at a perfect time!" the voiceover said in a rather snarky tone. Even before the gloating voice faded, the audience was presented with a spectacular chase!
Silver Lightning sprang into action the instant the bell rang. He accurately predicted the hunter's position and dived into the alleyway to the right. Just as the audience in front of the screen wondered why Ji Shao had stopped dodging, the camera suddenly zoomed up, revealing a second hunter running at full speed to join the hunt!
Sprint! Sprint! Like a silver-white bullet, he shot forward at high speed, followed by a hunter who had won the national men's sprint championship, biting him tightly. Many hunters were angry at Ji Shao's previous successes in escaping, but now they had to hold on to their prey!
At this moment, the scene changed. It was Yang Cheng, strolling leisurely down the street. He was looking at the camera, sharing his experience, and admonishing the audience in front of the screen on how to conserve their strength in the early stages. He began to talk a lot.
When he saw Ji Shao suddenly rushing out of the path, Yang Cheng himself didn't actually see who he was, but he could sense something was amiss even from a distance of thirty meters. But even within those thirty meters, as he watched the man behind him gradually approach his level, Yang Cheng couldn't help but let out a tragic cry.
"Yang Cheng deserves it. He originally wanted to interfere with Ji Shao, but now he's become the hunter's prey because of his speed!" The sarcastic background voice sounded again. "However, for Ji Shao, it doesn't matter if he runs too fast now. Just running a little faster than the panting 'lamb' behind him is enough~"
On the corner path, seeing the distance between him and the sprinters in front of him getting farther and farther, Yang Cheng couldn't help but shout in frustration, "Ahhh! I don't want this to end so soon!"
Suddenly, Ji Shao, who was in front, turned around, pointed to the alley on the left, and turned back to distract the hunters.
"Ahhhhhh" Qi Sisi felt both excited and angry watching this scene. In her opinion, Ji Shao's behavior was really cool, and his action of turning back was not intended to exchange one life for another.
On the stone wall behind Yang Cheng, there was an open window with a very high windowsill! But Ji Shao's agility was maxed out, and he jumped in with just a push of his hand! The hunter who suddenly lost the trace of his two prey could only wander around for a while before leaving reluctantly.
"Does Shaozi think that he has dragged down that Yang Cheng?" Qi Sisi was angry about this. She turned her head to look at Zhou Xiao, but saw that the other party was staring at the screen with a frown.

[Topic] Anyone want to watch Run! Ji Shao is so handsome!
[Main Post] Help, help, my blood is boiling. Ji Shao is so handsome! His speed is like lightning!

To be honest, the level of the finals is very high, Ji Shao even makes me dream back to the time when I was chasing athletes orz
59L
Even though he didn't win the championship, when Ji Shao went to the elimination room, everyone surrounded him, hugged him, and applauded him!
PS: I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Hunter No. 1 caught Ji Shao, I saw the corners of his mouth curled up hahahaha
123L
Although Yang Cheng has always been treacherous and unpleasant, he was the first to discover that Ji Shao had such a large scratch on his arm... This kid is really something. When he walked into the elimination room again, he even deliberately protected his injured hand very tightly. If Yang Cheng hadn't said it, even the VJ's camera didn't capture it at all TAT
265L
Help... Yang Cheng posted a long closing blog post, in which he mentioned Ji Shao... Suddenly I feel that he is not so annoying...
300L
Ji Shao also posted a blog kkk This silly kid even imitated Popeye, it made me laugh to death! But, it’s okay as long as it doesn’t leave scars!
…
That night, Ji Shao fans were completely overwhelmed. Their ears tuned in to the finals, their eyes and hands darting under other artists' blogs. The reason was simple: many of the artists in the finals had posted about their collaborations with Ji Shao on their own accounts.
The "Running" forum affectionately called Ji Shao the show's mascot. He's young, hardworking, responsible, and crucially, a capable runner with brains—a true talent! Not only does the show's cameras favor him, but fans love him too.
"I didn't expect that I would make so many friends." Zhou Xiao initially thought that it was just a tacit hype and superficial communication between the artists, but when he saw some artists directly posting screenshots of offline chat records, it could be seen that they really played together.
Many artists who shared screenshots of their chat logs didn't even follow Ji Shao on Weibo, which fans saw as proof of their good relationship.
Ji Shao's injury was unexpected, but the fans were just worried, but the next second they were amused by Ji Shao. Coupled with the interaction of the guests, everyone's attention was quickly diverted.
"Why is Ji Shao in everyone's video?" Qi Sisi's tone seemed a little annoyed, but in fact she was full of pride.
Ignoring her age, this scene is like a parent watching through surveillance camera how popular their child is in kindergarten and nodding with satisfaction.
