The plane was flying smoothly, but even with noise-canceling headphones on, Shen Ci couldn't fall asleep; she was just dozing off with her eyes closed.

Xu Junhuan next door was casually looking at the script, but his eyes kept glancing at Shen Ci out of the corner of his eye.

Doesn't she recognize herself?

She didn't even recognize herself!

He, a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, was sitting next to her, and she actually fell asleep without caring at all?

"Hello Mr. Xu, it's time for our meal. This is the first-class menu. What would you like to eat?"

The flight attendant suddenly appeared, bent down and knelt down to hand over the menu, and asked with a smile.

Xu Junhuan had just taken the menu when he saw Shen Ci, who had been keeping her eyes closed, slowly sit up: "The food is served, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Shen, please wait a moment while Mr. Xu finishes his order before I serve you."

Shen Ci nodded, then subconsciously glanced at Xu Junhuan and found that Xu Junhuan was also looking at her.

Even through the sunglasses, Shen Ci could still sense the complexity in his eyes.

He seemed to be bothered by the fact that I didn't know him.

"You order it first."

Xu Junhuan suddenly handed the menu to Shen Ci, indicating that the lady should go first.

Shen Ci didn't stand on ceremony. After casually glancing at the package, she said, "I'd like a bowl of chicken soup wonton noodles, and a glass of iced lemon tea."

"Yes, Miss Shen."

Xu Junhuan took the menu and handed it back to the flight attendant, saying, "I have the same menu as her."

The flight attendant paused for a moment, but maintained her smile: "Okay, Mr. Xu."

Seeing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but glance at him again, while Xu Junhuan lowered his head and pretended to continue reading the script.

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly and ignored it, turning her head to look at the sky outside the window. The red sun was setting in the west, and the clouds were gilded with a ring of afterglow, making it exceptionally beautiful.

You really don't recognize me?

A low voice suddenly came from behind, its tone even carrying a hint of resentment.

Shen Ci wanted to laugh, but she held it in.

"Sorry, I'm a bit face-blind and not very good at remembering people," Shen Ci said, turning her head.

As a result, the phrase "face blindness" directly hit Xu Junhuan's sore spot.

The biggest taboo for celebrities is a lack of recognizability. Shen Ci said she has face blindness and can't recognize people, which means that Xu Junhuan's appearance is not distinctive.

But he was named one of the "20 Most Handsome Faces in China" by the media, and ranked fourth. How could he lack distinctiveness?

His mouth, hidden behind his mask, seemed to want to say something but then stopped, finally giving up with a look of utter helplessness. As a top celebrity, it's simply too shameful to force someone else to promote themselves!

After eating a bowl of hot food, Shen Ci finally felt a little sleepy. She remained silent the whole way until the announcement came over the loudspeaker just before the plane was about to land, at which point she groggily woke up.

"Dear passengers, we are about to land at Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Airport..."

After the plane landed smoothly, it began taxiing on the airport runway. Shen Ci was about to turn off airplane mode on his phone when he heard a commotion suddenly break out in the economy class behind him.

Before she could react, a group of young girls rushed into the first-class cabin, some holding up their phones and others carrying cameras, instantly blocking the aisle.

These people were screaming and taking pictures, and their target was not someone else, but Xu Junhuan standing next to them.

"Aaaaaah, Junhwan! Junhwan!"

"My God, you're so handsome! Junhuan, can you take off your mask and look at the camera?"

"Is Junhuan here in Shenzhen and Hong Kong for a brand event? I'll be on your flight tomorrow too. My name is Miaomiao, do you remember me?"

"Jun-hwan, I like you so much!"

These obsessive fans' actions were so crazy that they completely stunned Shen Ci. Although she had seen similar videos online, seeing them up close in real life was still incredibly shocking.

So he was Xu Junhuan!

Shen Ci's memories also returned, and she remembered seeing him at the press conference for "Destiny is Phoenix" a few days ago. He was indeed a top male actor who was very popular in the entertainment industry.

Some of the sasaeng fans in the front row deliberately created a crowded feeling, actively sticking close to Xu Junhuan and trying to have some physical contact with him.

Xu Junhuan seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and simply lowered his head expressionlessly, ignoring the words and actions of these crazy fans.

"The plane is still taxiing, please return to your seats!"

"Please return to your seats and do not disrupt order on the plane!"

The flight attendants' attempts to maintain order were ignored and had no effect whatsoever. Soon after, the management team forcibly broke through the human wall and came to Xu Junhuan's side. As soon as the plane stopped, they protected him and took him off the plane.

Before parting, Xu Junhuan gave Shen Ci a deep look, and when he saw the shocked look on her face, a sense of smugness welled up in his heart.

"See? You don't know me, but there are plenty of people who do and are crazy about me."

But at this moment, Shen Ci only felt a lack of understanding and respect.

After these obsessive fans chased Xu Junhuan off the plane, the first-class cabin finally returned to normal. The flight attendant kept apologizing to the other passengers, but this kind of thing was commonplace. It always happened whenever there was a popular celebrity on the plane, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Looking down, Shen Ci noticed that the paper Xu Junhuan had just signed for her was left in the gap between the seats. She picked it up and looked at it again, finally able to find traces of Xu Junhuan's name on the signature.

He casually folded it in half and put it in his bag, thinking that Gu Lianxing, the drama-obsessed queen, might like him.

Fumao Residential Area, Xiangdong District, Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

Standing at the door of her home, Shen Ci's heart was beating faster than ever before, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

A light shone through the cat's eye, and Shen Ci stared at it, vaguely seeing his mother's face.

She raised her hand, which was trembling slightly and uncontrollably, and gently knocked on the door.

"Is Xingxing back?"

The mother's voice came from inside the house, and the door was pushed open from the inside the next second.

When Shen Jingjing saw her daughter standing outside the door, she froze, unable to come to her senses for a long time. She stared at her daughter's face without blinking, as if trying to confirm whether she was seeing things and had mistaken her for someone else.

"mom."

Shen Ci spoke first, her voice trembling, but tears unknowingly rolled down her cheeks the moment she opened her mouth.

The word "Mom" made Shen Jingjing's body tremble slightly involuntarily, and then her eyes belatedly filled with excitement and joy.

"Ah Ci, you're back..."

At this moment, Shen Ci could no longer control herself. Endless longing and self-blame overwhelmed her. She stepped forward and hugged her mother tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Her usually stubborn and strong-willed daughter was now as fragile as a child in her arms, and Shen Jingjing couldn't help but burst into tears. The apologies and longing that had been weighing on her heart for the past year were finally released at this moment.

"Aci, don't cry, it's Mom's fault."
