Chapter 177 Departure to Beijing
At dawn the next day, the members woke up one after another.
The morning light had not yet penetrated the clouds, and only a few dim wall lamps were on in the villa.
Everyone tacitly slowed down their movements and checked their luggage to see if anything was left behind.
Perhaps it was because they got up too early, or perhaps it was the aftereffects of yesterday's "epic" maocai pot that were still lingering, but after everyone finished cleaning up, they sat on the sofa with no appetite, waiting for their executive agent Shi Li to come and pick them up. This time, he would accompany them throughout the entire announcement.
Xie Qingyu thought about it and decided to open the snack cabinet in the living room and take out some snacks and put them in a paper bag so that she could have a snack when she was hungry later.
As soon as the minute hand passed the scheduled time, executive agent Shi Li arrived on time with his team.
Although this burly agent, who is nearly two meters tall, looks fierce, his tone is extremely gentle and he is easy to talk to. He is considered to have the best temper among the three agents.
"The stylist will give everyone a simple makeover first. There may be fans at the airport later."
This kind of group announcement cannot be concealed. There are probably fans waiting to see them off at the airport right now, so the members’ personal images must be managed well.
Two makeup artists immediately stepped forward and quickly created fresh and natural looks for the members.
Xie Qingyu closed her eyes and let the makeup brush gently sweep across her face. She heard Ding Zai's even breathing beside her. This man actually fell asleep while sitting.
"Put the luggage in the car at the back." Shi Li gave soft instructions, like a gentle brown bear.
The members lined up obediently to move the suitcases to the assistant team's car, and then followed Shi Li into the customized nanny car.
The car was filled with a faint scent of leather.
Shi Li considerately dimmed the lights and said, "It'll take an hour to get to the airport. Everyone, take this time to rest."
His voice was still deep and soft, forming a wonderful contrast with his rough appearance.
Xie Qingyu leaned back on the leather seat and caught a glimpse of Gu Qiong adjusting the neck pillow to the most comfortable angle.
The city outside the window was waking up in the morning light, but the seven teenagers in the car fell into a light sleep at the same time during this quiet moment.
Shi Li looked at the group of kids in the rearview mirror, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously - the first group announcement of MYST7 kicked off in the dim morning light.
When the nanny car slowly stopped at the departure level of the airport, the noise outside the window instantly woke up the lightly sleeping members.
Xie Qingyu gently pressed his sleepy eyes. The screen of his mobile phone showed that it was only 6:51. There was still plenty of time before the 8 o'clock flight. However, the group of fans in front of him holding cheering signs would probably have to wait here even earlier.
They tacitly kept a safe distance, and no one rushed forward to block the vehicles, but their flushed faces and shining eyes had already revealed their enthusiasm.
Shi Li carefully instructed the assistant team to get off the car first to pick up the luggage.
This time there are enough people accompanying us to form a protective circle.
Only after all the suitcases were properly placed and the fans were still standing there obediently did Shi Li press the car door button with confidence.
Through the car window, Xie Qingyu could see countless pairs of expectant eyes, and those cheering banners that were trying to restrain themselves but still emitting a little light.
"Are you ready?" Shi Li's low voice came from the front seat.
After getting confirmation, the burly agent got out of the car first and stood by the door like a mountain.
The electric sliding door made a "beep" sound, and Xie Qingyu was the first to step out of the car.
The cool breeze of the early morning blew in with the restrained cheers of the fans. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stopped to wait for his teammates.
The members who got off the car later automatically stood on both sides of him according to their debut ranking without any reminder.
The positions within an idol group are very particular, not to mention that they are a limited group that came out of a talent show, and their positions have been clearly arranged by the official.
Even though they were still sleepy, there was a faint smile on everyone's face, and the flashes of their cameras were connected.
"Qingyu baby! Look here!"
A familiar female voice pierced through the noise. Xie Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Lulu standing on tiptoe with her camera held high.
This veteran fan who has followed him since the early days of the draft can always accurately find the best angle to shoot him in the crowd.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Xie Qingyu's smile deepened, he curved his eyes, and waved gently in that direction.
This small interaction immediately triggered a suppressed exclamation, like a spring breeze blowing through the wheat waves.
After passing the security check at the airport gate and entering the lobby, agent Shi Li collected their identification documents and handed them to the accompanying assistant to handle the check-in procedures.
The processes of printing boarding passes, checking in luggage, and verifying identity are carried out in an orderly manner.
There were still more than 30 minutes before boarding. Seeing that the fans were keeping an appropriate distance, Shi Li did not arrange a VIP lounge. Instead, he took the members to find a relatively empty waiting area, and he and other team assistants gathered nearby.
Soon after sitting down, Leo rubbed his stomach and muttered, "I'm so hungry."
Ever since he was frightened on the way into the venue for the first performance, he now doesn't dare to get close to Xie Qingyu in situations where there are cameras and fans around.
It’s just those sparkling puppy dog eyes that make it impossible to ignore him. Of course, it also made his mother fans who were not far away cover their hearts and call him “cute”.
Xie Qingyu smiled, opened the paper bag she had been holding, and took out the fan mail she had just received on the way into the hall. Then she handed the bag to him and said, "I put some snacks in it."
Fortunately, Yu Yuzi had foresight~
Leo's eyes lit up instantly and he took the paper bag happily.
Wei Liangchen and Ding Zai, who were also starving, immediately rushed over eagerly.
After careful selection, the three of them each took what they needed and returned the paper bag politely.
Because there were fans and cameras around, they pretended to cover up the bags of snacks while eating. They didn’t get any endorsement fees, but they didn’t give me free advertising!
After confirming that Gu Yan, Bai Yan and You Jinchao had no desire to eat, Xie Qingyu took out a small bag of square biscuits from the bottom of the bag.
This is the individual packaging left after Leo opened it the night before yesterday. The outer box has long been discarded. At this moment, there is no trace of the trademark on the smooth aluminum foil packaging, which saves the trouble of hiding.
Xie Qingyu had just torn open the package and picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth when a voice with a smile suddenly came from the front row and asked, "Baby, is it delicious?"
He usually takes people who ask this kind of question as a tentative hint that they want to eat it but are too embarrassed to ask for it directly.
After a little thought, he stood up and walked towards the source of the sound. Behind him, Shi Li's eyes were fixed on his back like a hawk, ready to intervene before the fans lost control.
"It's okay. Would you like to try it?" Xie Qingyu opened the package slightly and handed it to the other party.
In fact, it is just an ordinary crispy biscuit. It is a little sweet for Xie Qingyu, but everyone has different tastes, so he gave it a medium rating.
The fan who originally just wanted to talk suddenly opened his eyes wide, picked up a small piece from the bag with trembling fingers, and carefully avoided touching him the whole time.
She mechanically put the biscuit into her mouth, but could not taste it at all. At this moment, all her senses were focused on the idol who was so close to her, and her heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of her chest.
Xie Qingyu saw her take a piece, and then turned the bag to the other fans who were looking at her eagerly: "What about you?"
They were all his fans who unconsciously moved towards him when they saw him coming, so they were very easy to tell apart.
There was a sudden burst of restrained gasps from the crowd.
The fans exchanged excited glances with each other, but shook their heads and waved their hands in unison: "No, no! The baby can eat it by himself!"
——There were only a few cookies in the bag. How could they bear to snatch his snacks?
Xie Qingyu didn't insist anymore. When he turned around, he noticed that Leo and the other two were pinching their snack bags, and hesitantly wondered whether he should follow their example.
He walked calmly back to sit beside Gu Qiong. The trembling fingertips of the fan just now accidentally touched the back of his hand, which was really cold.
The temperature difference between day and night in Yun City is huge. These girls came here to wait before dawn, and they must be very cold.
He leaned close to Gu Qi's ear and whispered a few words. After listening, Gu Qi glanced at the fans in the front row whose noses were red from the cold, nodded slightly, and stood up to discuss with Shi Li.
Xie Qingyu originally wanted to pay for it out of his own pocket, but Gu Yan thought more about it. Since it was a group activity, this kindness should naturally be shared by everyone.
After all, although Xie Qingyu’s fans accounted for the majority, his fans were not the only ones present at the scene.
Shi Li naturally wouldn't refuse such a thoughtful arrangement. He whispered a few words to his assistant, who immediately trotted off to a nearby coffee shop.
Considering the tight boarding time, the assistant directly prepaid for all the fans' drinks and confirmed the production order with the store clerk - so that even if the members have already boarded the plane, the fans can still pick up their drinks one after another according to their orders.
When the assistant ran back breathlessly to announce the news, the scene was immediately filled with bursts of sobbing.
One fan, with red eyes, repeatedly confirmed: "Is this really what the babies meant?"
The more sentimental girl covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes blurred with tears, and she cried out the name of her idol in a sobbing voice.
Xie Qingyu listened to the calls from the crowd, and a gentle curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
What these girls have given is more than just a cup of coffee. The time, money and passion they have invested can no longer be measured in material terms.
It is only because we are used to looking up to our idols that we regard even the smallest response from them as a great gift.
The boarding announcement sounded at the right time, and the assistant hurriedly confirmed the order and rushed back to meet up.
Although the fans were reluctant to leave, they were sensible enough to make way for him and shouted blessings such as "Have a safe journey" and "Good luck with your work" one after another.
Only after the members disappeared around the corner of the covered bridge did they walk towards the coffee shop in twos and threes.
Holding the warm paper cup, the warmth spreads from the fingertips to the heart.
Who really needs a cup of coffee?
It’s just that the person who sent it is special that makes this ordinary drink have a different kind of brilliance.
A fan carefully took a photo of the coffee, captioned it "He knows our hands are cold", and posted it on the super topic, which attracted a wave of envious exclamations.
The warmth of this moment is enough to offset all the fatigue of waiting in the early morning.
