The Hua Shao Group had unknowingly visited many cities, and the date had arrived at December 27th. Today was the last day of filming, and after this day, the journey belonging to the seven individuals was about to come to an end.
Last night before going to bed, Zheng Peipei held a small meeting with the others, wanting to watch a sunrise. Most of the things that should be done during a trip had already been done, such as sleeping in the same room, cooking together, and watching the sunset. Now, only watching the sunrise was left undone.
So everyone washed up early, lay in bed, and closed their eyes. Each person silently anticipated in their heart, hoping to see a magnificent sunrise tomorrow to add a brilliant stroke to this beautiful journey.
At seven o'clock the next morning, before the sky was fully bright, Zheng Peipei had already burst into the various rooms, turned on the lights inside, and quickly roused the people lying in bed.
Yi Xing opened his eyes with difficulty, covering the overhead light with his hand. After adapting to the brightness for a while, he lowered his hand and whispered, "Pei Ma is too ruthless, forcing us to wake up!"
Despite his complaints, the movements of putting on his clothes were not slow at all. Although he was still a bit sleepy, the thought of seeing the beautiful sunrise soon made him perk up.
Zhang Han, who was sleeping next to him, also got up. The two of them simultaneously went into the bathroom to wash up. They had already gotten up a bit late, so they couldn't waste any more time. Brushing their teeth together didn't affect anything.
Since leaving Italy and arriving in Spain, Zhang Han had stopped working as a tour guide, handing the responsibility over to others. Each time they entered a new city, a new tour guide would be chosen from the remaining six people, with no repeats.
The tour guide for this leg was Yi Xing. He had specifically found a hotel that offered an excellent view of the sunrise, where one could see the scenery outside from the terrace without any obstruction.
The two rushed to the terrace, where several staff members of the production team were already standing. Zheng Peipei was sitting in a chair, looking at the distant sky, where a faint touch of red was visible.
Yi Xing rested his hands on the railing, taking a deep breath of the slightly cool morning air, instantly feeling much more awake. At this moment, he had to remain quiet and appreciate the scenery before him.
Gradually, the other members also arrived. The edge of the sun slowly emerged from the horizon, painting the clouds in the sky into a magnificent tapestry of orange-red, crimson, and golden hues.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Liu Tao's camera shutter never stopped clicking from the moment the sun appeared.
But Xu Qing was a bit distracted. She had other work arrangements and had to say goodbye to everyone in advance. As the sunrise ended, she announced this matter in front of everyone and pulled out a letter from behind her back.
She had written it last night. She was very reluctant to leave everyone. Originally, the seven of them might not have had any interaction, but through this show, they were closely connected, going from strangers to familiar friends.
Although this journey was different from what she had hoped for in her heart, at the time of departure, she still didn't know what to say. She could only write down what she wanted to say and give it to Zhang Kaili, who understood her best, to help her say goodbye.
Zhang Kaili took the letter from her hand, looked at the other person's eyes full of reluctance, her own eyes gradually turning red. She gently patted her hand, signaling her not to be too sad, as everyone was there.
Then, she began to read the content written in the letter. Everyone listened very attentively, not daring to interrupt. Farewell is one of life's essential lessons; one always experiences the same thing at different times with different people.
After Zhang Kaili finished reading, Xu Qing walked over and continued, "Um, I've prepared a small gift for each of you. I bought the boxes in Italy, and inside are bodhi seeds I brought from the capital city. Their colors are all unique."
"This dark blue one I want to give to Xiao Xing. Although he is the youngest among us, his performance throughout the journey always makes me forget his age. When encountering some insoluble problems, he will reliably step forward and think of solutions."
"Just like this color, seemingly restrained, but actually full of infinite power. Sister hopes that in the future, you can be more lively, show the youthful vigor that belongs to young people, and no matter what you encounter, have the courage to face difficulties head-on."
Yi Xing stepped forward and solemnly accepted the gift: "Thank you, Sister Qing. I will firmly remember your words, and I will cherish it well." After speaking, he opened his arms and gave her a big hug.
After Xu Qing finished giving gifts to all her companions, she bowed deeply and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you so much for taking care of me. I will remember this short but unforgettable journey."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about sad topics. Let's take a group photo together."
Seeing the atmosphere around them becoming increasingly low, Liu Tao raised her camera and suggested. Leaving while crying was so meaningless; it would be best to face it with a smile.
"That's right, let's take a group photo."
Zhang Kaili, leaning on the railing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Among everyone present, her relationship with Xu Qing was the best. From the first day, the two of them had always lived together and had never been separated.
The camera was handed to a staff member. Everyone stood in order of age, with Zheng Peipei in the middle, flanked by Zhang Kaili and Xu Qing.
"What slogan should we shout?"
"I don't know."
Just then, Director Liao walked out. The show was officially scheduled to air after the Spring Festival. Before that, the Hua Shao Group needed to shout a promotional slogan.
"I actually have one: Every Friday night at ten, Divas Hit the Road, we'll see you there! What do you all think?"
"Okay, let's use that one." Zheng Peipei made the final decision. If there was a ready-made one, of course, they should use it.
Everything was ready. Everyone posed, their faces beaming with brilliant smiles, showing no trace of the sadness of parting. Actors truly are different; controlling emotions is simply second nature to them.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"3, 2, 1!"
"Every Friday night at ten, Divas Hit the Road, we'll see you there!" The seven people shouted in unison, their voices full of pride for this journey and anticipation for the show's broadcast.
The camera shutter clicked, capturing this moment. The people in the photo had incomparably brilliant smiles, their eyes full of warmth and camaraderie. Behind them, the sky, painted brilliantly by the morning sun, served perfectly as a backdrop.
The sunrise was over, and the photos were taken. Everyone returned to their rooms to pack their belongings, preparing to go to the final destination of this journey — Port Cadiz. Unfortunately, Xu Qing could not accompany them.
