Standing on the street, a few casual movements were all it took for him to showcase the natural superiority and elegance that came with being a man of his stature.

As all the guests finished their street fashion photoshoots, the recording of the show was drawing to a close.

Finally, the moment of farewell arrived.

Everyone felt a bit reluctant, especially Si Churou and Ji Hanming, who had spent a long time on the show and had built strong friendships through their interactions. But they all knew that parting was inevitable.

Director Qian's voice came through the earpiece, "Congratulations to all the guests for completing the final challenge. 'Let's Travel Together' is now officially over!"

"Thank you all for participating in this journey. We've had so much laughter, excitement, and noise here..."

Si Churou hugged Yu Qianxia and whispered in her ear, "The show's over, but don't forget about me. Let's hang out whenever you have time."

Yu Qianxia patted her back and promised, "Of course."

After Director Qian's emotional words, he got to the main point, "Alright, the popularity voting will open after the live broadcast ends. This is our final vote, so we welcome everyone to actively participate and vote for the ultimate popularity king!"

A light background music played as the live broadcast wrapped up.

The two-month-long variety show had finally come to an end.

Yu Qianxia went back to the hotel to pack her bags. Sister Rong and Xiao Ke had already arrived.

They eagerly pushed Yu Qianxia into her room. The three of them didn't rush to leave but waited for the voting platform to open. They wanted to see the final results before they left.

Sister Rong and Xiao Ke held their phones, and when the voting platform finally opened at 9 PM, the votes started rising at an incredible speed within seconds.

Yu Qianxia, no longer as concerned about the vote count, stood by the window, sipping water as she watched the night scene of the city.

After a while, Sister Rong and Xiao Ke excitedly hugged her. "Wah, congratulations, Xiaxia! You're the ultimate popularity king! You got a total of 15.8 million popularity points!"

"Wah, congratulations, Sister Yu!" they cheered.

The final vote count was set. After leaving G City, Yu Qianxia first went back to A City, as the resources for the popularity king had already been granted. She was going to audition for director Zhang Xinping's drama, The Legend of the Crescent Moon.

After getting off the plane, Yu Qianxia returned to her rented apartment in A City.

As she got out of the car, she suddenly saw a familiar tall figure getting out of a taxi.

The evening breeze was cool, and her bangs blew across her forehead. Yu Qianxia squinted, casually tucking the stray hair behind her ear.

"Yu Muqiu?"

The man walked closer, letting out a soft hum.

Yu Qianxia's eyes held a trace of confusion. "What are you doing here?"

Yu Muqiu's expression didn't change, and his voice remained calm. "I'm here for work in A City."

After a slight pause, he added, "I happened to be nearby."

Yu Qianxia didn't think much of it. She smiled faintly, "Well, you're busy. I'll be on my way. See you."

She grabbed her luggage and walked toward the apartment, but as soon as she reached the door and pulled out her key, the system suddenly spoke up in her mind, [Host, something's strange about Yu Muqiu!]

Yu Qianxia froze. [What do you mean?]

He has no work in A City at all! In fact, he canceled work just to specifically come here!]

A strange feeling rose in Yu Qianxia's chest. [What's he here for, then?]

The system replied, [You humans are so hard to understand! I don't get it either! And he wasn't 'nearby,' he lives here!]

Yu Qianxia blinked in confusion. [?]

[He lives right across from you!]

Living across from her?

Yu Qianxia walked to the balcony with some doubt, her gaze shifting to the window of the building across the street. In the dark of night, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the light was dim. The balcony across the way had no lights on, so she couldn't see anything clearly.

After staying there for a while, she still didn't spot anyone.

Yu Qianxia didn't think much of this small incident and turned to her bedroom to grab some clean clothes before heading to the bathroom.

After taking a shower and coming out, she turned off the lights in the living room and casually pulled the curtains on the balcony shut. But just as she did, she suddenly noticed the balcony across from hers had lit up.

Yu Qianxia froze for a moment and, through the gap in the curtains, looked across at the balcony again.

The balcony, which had been dimly lit just a moment ago, now lit up, revealing everything clearly. Yu Qianxia could see a handsome man leaning against the railing. A gentle breeze softened his features, and his deep, black eyes were fixed intently on her.

For a split second, Yu Qianxia's gaze met his by accident, and her heart skipped a beat.

But when she looked again, Yu Muqiu's eyes weren't actually focused on her.

However, his gaze, which was usually cold and distant, carried a hint of softness and warmth.

This made Yu Qianxia, who was secretly observing him from the shadows, have an odd feeling that maybe he was looking at her after all.

At that moment, the system chimed in, [See, he's living across from you! What does he want? Could he be stalking the host?]

Yu Qianxia laughed, [What are you thinking? He's not going to do anything to me. It's probably just a coincidence that he rented a place here too.]

The system doubted, [Really? This apartment is far from a high-end neighborhood. With Yu Muqiu's wealth, there's no need for him to rent such a modest place, right?]

Yu Qianxia raised an eyebrow. That was true. She had rented this apartment when she first started her career to save money, but Yu Muqiu was different. Even if he was on a business trip in A City, there was no reason for him to choose a cheap apartment over a nice hotel.

It was a little strange.

But in the end, it was someone else's personal matter, and she didn't need to get involved.

Yu Qianxia shrugged it off, [Don't worry about him. We've been friends for so many years, and I trust his character.]

Really? The system still had some doubts, but it didn't tell Yu Qianxia that, during a recording in G City, it had seen Yu Muqiu and Ji Hanming conspiring mysteriously in a room. Turned out, they wanted Yu Muqiu to wear those trendy clothes for Yu Qianxia to see.
