The song was reaching its conclusion.

Zhou Yun suddenly turned her head as if someone else was calling her.

Zhou Yun hesitated for a moment, as if when he was about to leave, her deep feelings were hidden in her eyes. She quickly packed up the first aid kit, glanced at him one last time, got up, and hurried off to treat others.

The accompaniment seemed to be over, and the song also seemed to have been sung.

The camera returned to Guan Xiaohe.

Guan Xiaohe lowered the hand that had been holding the microphone to sing and sat back on the swing.

After a brief silence, the accompaniment started softly again.

Guan Xiaohe picked up the microphone once more and began to sing softly.

The song was ethereal, and the camera slowly panned out.

Behind her, the stars were sparse, and the stream flowed gently.

The dining table was set with dishes.

Zhou Yun lifted the curtain, carrying a plate of food as she walked out of the kitchen. She had removed her nurse’s cap and white uniform, replacing it with a plum-red coat with branch patterns, graceful and elegant.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Song Chi appeared at the entrance with the suitcase he had taken away when he left.

He met eyes with Zhou Yun, and they exchanged bright smiles.

Zhou Yun looked at his smiling face, was momentarily stunned, then, as if in a daze, she too started to smile with teary eyes, and as she smiled, tears began to fall.

The music truly ended at this moment.

The show ended.

The audience applauded thunderously.

The host was already standing on another part of the stage, beginning to talk into another camera.

Zhou Yun and Song Chi stepped off the stage together to make way for the next program.

It wasn’t until they returned backstage and met up with Guan Xiaohe that the three of them exchanged smiles.

"We did it!" Zhou Yun clenched her fist and waved it. Only at this point did she come out of character, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Guan Xiaohe said excitedly, "Brother Chi, Sister Xiao Yun, you both acted so well. I had to keep myself from crying on stage; I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to control it."

Zhou Yun said, "Same here."

It was their most fully immersed performance.

Zhou Yun saw that Song Chi’s eyes were also red.

Many people were taking pictures of them.

Zhou Lan ran over excitedly, saying, "The three of you were amazing! Incredible, truly incredible!"

Her eyes were red too, obviously having cried earlier.

She said, "Your performance is being praised like crazy online, and the real-time ratings hit the highest!"

Zhou Yun was surprised.

"Really?"

"Really!" Zhou Lan said, "Several of my friends in the media are joking in my social circle that everyone owes you an apology."

Zhou Yun laughed.

At this moment, she truly felt relieved, shedding all her mental burdens.

She hugged Song Chi, calling out excitedly and softly.

Song Chi patted her head, saying, "See, I told you there wouldn’t be any problems."

...

After the performance ended, Zhou Yun and Song Chi did not go to the audience to continue watching the show — even though the director team had prepared seats for them, thinking they could capture some reactions of them watching other performances during the live broadcast.

Both of them were too tired from preparing for this performance.

Moreover, to avoid any mishaps that night, neither of them had dinner and was already very hungry.

On New Year’s Eve, Beijing was sparsely populated, so much so that it hardly resembled Beijing.

Zhou Yun and Song Chi had long booked a place. Tonight, they and key members of their respective teams were having a New Year’s Eve dinner together.

"I’m sorry, because of our performance, everyone couldn’t go home for New Year’s Eve dinner," Zhou Yun said to everyone.

The celebrity team’s staff actually didn’t have it any easier than the celebrities themselves, as they all revolved around the celebrities.

If celebrities had to attend the Spring Festival Gala, the staff couldn’t rest on New Year’s Eve either.

Zheng Xiaojue said, "It’s okay, Sister Xiao Yun. Just give us more red envelopes."

Everyone started to chime in, nodding. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Zhou Yun happily said, "No problem!"

Song Chi’s assistant immediately shouted, "Brother Chi, we can’t let our team get less than Sister Xiao Yun’s, right?"

Song Chi, sitting next to Zhou Yun, smiled and said, "You won’t get any less."

Zhou Yun and Song Chi were not stingy people with those around them.

They had already prepared generous year-end bonuses for everyone, and because of the night’s work, they had each also prepared an additional large red envelope of ten thousand yuan for each person, directly transferred to everyone’s account.

Song Chi raised his glass, saying, "Throughout the year, you’ve all worked hard for us. I know, with talents like yours, there must be many teams out there trying to recruit you, and yet you choose to stay. I’m very touched. Whether it’s my team or Xiao Yun’s team, we’ve all been through a lot this year. We’re brothers and sisters in the same trench. I always think of ways to help you advance further when good opportunities arise. Thank you, thank you all!"
