The sun was getting brighter and the temperature was gradually rising, but it still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm. The waves of warm cheers and the brilliant sky made the scene of a sea of people on both sides of the street that was more than ten miles away seem spectacular.
Chu Xuan didn't know when he handed the torch to the person in front of him. Seeing the person in front of him running into the Tiananmen area, he recovered from the surging excitement and trance and turned to walk towards the roadside.
"Chu Xuan, great!" An aunt outside the front cordon gave a thumbs up, and the people nearby looked at him with smiles on their faces.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh, what's so great about this? The aunts and uncles in Chaoyang District are really enthusiastic.
If you behave positively, they will praise you. If you break the law, they will send you to jail.
"Chu Xuan." A CCTV reporter came over.
Liu Yifei was also next to the reporter. She jumped over a few steps and gave Chu Xuan a high-five happily, giving a small celebration for both of them successfully completing the task.
Such a loving scene made some people outside the cordon laugh happily.
"Let's do a simple interview," the CCTV reporter said.
Every torchbearer will be interviewed after finishing the run. This reporter came from the back section and obviously interviewed all the torchbearers behind.
Seeing that this reporter wants to interview Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei together, it is obvious that he is a little careful, or he wants to make the interview scene more interesting.
National couples should be in pairs.
"How do you feel about passing the torch?" The reporter handed the microphone, and a camera was pointed at the two of them behind.
Chu Xuandao: "I'm honored, excited, and honored."
Liu Yifei said: "It is the most glorious thing I have done in the past 20 years."
"The Olympics are about to start, do you want to say something?" the reporter asked.
Chu Xuan said: "I wish the Olympics a success."
Liu Yifei said: "I wish the athletes to shine and win the crown."
"Okay, thank you." The reporter finished the interview and was just about to signal the cameraman to follow her forward when suddenly she heard an aunt two or three meters away ask: "When are you getting married??"
The CCTV reporter was stunned. The Olympics are being broadcast live across the country. Is it okay to ask this question?
But the reporter gave another thumbs up to the aunt. The aunt asked a question that was difficult for her to ask. Even if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei couldn't answer, this was the finishing touch.
The young couple turned to look at the aunt and the people eating melons nearby. They felt that the people in Chaoyang had too many things to worry about, and they had to run away quickly, otherwise they would not be able to protect everything and ask questions.
Under the smiling eyes of a group of people, Chu Xuan pulled up Liu Yifei and walked back. There were many vehicles driving slowly behind, always about one kilometer away from the torchbearer's position. They were the convoy of the logistics support team.
"Mom, grandma, aunt and cousin are also here." Liu Yifei said.
"Ah? Where?" Chu Xuan was surprised.
Liu Yifei's eyes scanned the street across the street and locked her position with her grandmother and the others. She raised her hand to point out the direction for Chu Xuan: "I saw them there very early. I think they will be waiting there in the middle of the night."
Chu Xuan looked over and found the existence of his grandmother and the others, and waved to them.
Unexpectedly, his family members had been silently guarding them, which made him feel quite warm and touched.
Liu Xiaoli looked at the two children, then picked up her cell phone and asked them to call.
Liu Yifei made an "OK" gesture to express her understanding.
The two walked for a while, stopped in front of a vehicle, and then got into the back seat one by one.
Liu Yifei took back her mobile phone from the logistics staff, and after talking to her mother on the phone, she said: "Mom, they will go to the hotel near the Bird's Nest to rest first, and we will go find them after we finish the work here."
Chu Xuan nodded. The torch was going to be sent to the Bird's Nest, so they took the car there and then went to find their families.
Looking out the car window, the enthusiastic voices are still there and the scene is in full swing. The Olympic torch scene in any country cannot be compared to it, because the people of no country are more enthusiastic and cohesive than the Chinese people.
Looking at the surprised expressions of some foreigners, we can see that they were completely shocked by such a scene.
From the perspective of foreigners, the Chinese people are very strange.
The country needs educated youth, so all of them are going to the countryside.
When the disease comes and people get vaccinated, everyone rushes to line up.
The country needs infrastructure, and everyone is adding bricks and mortar.
In the eyes of foreigners, this is not "free" at all and is difficult to understand.
In the eyes of Western countries, this "unfreedom" is what really scares them.
They believe that such national unity needs to be broken, and such national unity comes from the inheritance of historical and humanistic society, so they must distort Chinese civilization, Chinese culture, and Chinese history in an attempt to Westernize the Chinese people.
For this reason, "Earth Chronicles" was published in 1976.
This book is not worth reading, because it claims to be a chronicle of the earth, but there is no mention of China from beginning to end, and there is no mention of Chinese culture.
If you insist on reading, the only interesting thing for Chinese people is that in the Sumerian civilization, which is the source of all human civilization, there was a mother goddess and a father god.
The mother goddess has the head of a human and the body of a snake, which is exactly the same as the image of Nuwa in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The shape of God the Father is also similar to the image of Fuxi in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
But unfortunately, this book spreads the Western civilization-centered theory of the world. It is purely for self-entertainment and the plagiarism is not done to the point. This is quite funny.
"We're here." Liu Yifei squeezed Chu Xuan's hand, Chu Xuan opened the car door, and the two got out of the car immediately.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the torch successfully arrived at the Bird's Nest, marking a successful completion of the nearly 140,000-kilometer torch relay.
There is still the torch lighting ceremony at the main venue, but it will not be held until the Olympic opening ceremony in the evening.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their hands in front of their foreheads to block the sun, and looked up at the bird's nest building that looked very magnificent in the sunlight.
"It would be great if the Bright Times Building should be unique. It will be very iconic." Chu Xuan was inspired by the Bird's Nest and thought of the building that the company was going to build.
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "It depends on the designer's ability. Then we will work with Sister Hua to provide advice."
"Come! Let's take a group photo to commemorate it!" the leader said.
"Let's go." Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan to gather and took photos with the torchbearers, accompanying runners, volunteers, and police officers who were participating in the mission.
The young couple can be described as a sweet couple. They have a good image under the aura of big stars, and they are eager to take photos with each other by their friends and some athletes.
The young couple was a little flattered. There were many police officers serving the people, not to mention some athletes who were world champions. While these people were interested in their celebrity status, why didn't they feel honored by taking photos with them?
"Good luck to the Olympics!!" With a chorus of blessings, their torch group disbanded.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei returned to the hotel with their group, went back to their room to pack their luggage, and prepared to bid farewell to this glorious journey that, although it was only a few days, would be unforgettable for their entire lives.
"Team leader, let's go then."
"Team leader, I've been in trouble these days."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei carried small luggage bags and said goodbye to the team leader.
"What's the trouble? I'm honored to spend a few days with you, not to mention you signed so many autographs for me. My daughter will definitely be very happy when I go back to give them to you. I earned the money."
"Where is it? It's just a sign. It's just a small matter. Please contact me anytime. See you soon."
Both parties knew that they might never see each other again for the rest of their lives, so waving goodbye to each other brought an end to the fate between them.
The overflowing sunshine and the enthusiasm of the people quickly dispelled the sadness of parting.
The young couple shuttled among the crowds and paraded openly, not shying away from their celebrity status at all, waving to passers-by who recognized them friendly and cheerfully.
Before they had time to change their clothes, they were still wearing the five-star red flag outfits they wore when passing the torch. They appeared on the street like this, unintentionally gaining the favor of passers-by.
Many people asked for photos, and many self-media and paparazzi followed.
"I think this five-star red flag outfit will sell out," said a paparazzi.
"Not only did it sell out, but with the artist influence of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, do you believe that there will be many celebrities wearing this outfit tomorrow to take advantage of the traffic?" another paparazzi said.
"I believe there will definitely be one. This traffic is not wasted, it is highly publicized, and it is in line with the current patriotic trend of the Olympic Games to enhance the positive image. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have set a good example for them." A paparazzi said firmly.
Given the stubbornness of some agencies and some artists in the entertainment industry, seeing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei gain so much popularity by wearing five-star red flag outfits, why shouldn't they imitate them right away?
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei just saw that the hotel was close to the hotel where their family members were staying, so they chose to walk there. They did not expect that the hotel would be inadvertently planted, causing a wave of positive publicity by celebrities.
"Grandma!" Liu Yifei knocked on the hotel room door and threw herself into the arms of her grandmother who was resting on the sofa.
"Hey, my baby Sissi." Grandma hugged Liu Yifei, and the old man's eyes were full of doting.
"Auntie, auntie, cousin." Chu Xuan greeted his family.
"Xiaoxuan, I'm proud of you." Zhou Wenqiong praised, and Liu Xiaoli and her cousin also looked over with admiration.
He was praised as soon as he entered the door. This made Chu Xuan somewhat embarrassed, so he heard his grandmother say: "You are all sticky, go and take a bath."
"Grandma, you dislike me!" Liu Yifei acted coquettishly, and immediately ran to the suite bedroom with her luggage. No matter whose bedroom it was, it belonged to her family anyway: "I'm going to take a shower first."
Seeing the bedroom door slam shut, grandma waved to Chu Xuan impatiently: "Xiao Xuan, come on, come on."
When Chu Xuan saw his grandmother's appearance, he was sure that his grandmother would definitely ask about the proposal.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down next to his grandmother, he heard her concern about several issues in succession.
"How are the preparations going?"
"August 25th is confirmed, right?"
"Do you need our help?"
"Let me tell you, August 25th this year is not an ordinary day. I chose it really well. It happens to be the end of the 16-day Olympic Games on the 25th. Your proposal day seems to be taking over this national event. It is so meaningful!
"
"By the way, do you want us to cooperate in anything?"
"Mom!" Liu Xiaoli was speechless: "Why do you have so many questions? What do you need to cooperate with? Just let Xiaoxuan handle it by yourself. You are just worrying about it. It was Xiaoxuan who proposed, not you. Oh my god, this old lady...
…”
Zhou Wenqiong and her daughter were laughing and lying on the sofa. The old man was just anxious and deliberately pushed Qian Qian away just for the sake of Chu Xuan's proposal.
The old man really has a lot to do and cares about. Seeing Chu Xuan's behavior, he was immediately confused by the question.
Chu Xuan helplessly held his forehead and couldn't laugh or cry. Look at how anxious his grandmother was. She was afraid that something would happen to his proposal, and she also wanted him and Liu Yifei to get married as soon as possible.
"Let's go first. On the day you propose, your uncle, aunt, and uncle will come over. We will support you. Don't be afraid. Sissi will agree." Grandma gave Chu Xuan help.
Zhou Wenqiong couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, where are you from? You're afraid that your granddaughter won't be able to get married, right? You're asking your family to support the man. If it's yours, have you ever considered your granddaughter's feelings? At home,
Everyone has rebelled."
"Hahaha..." My cousin laughed so hard that tears came out.
Liu Xiaoli was also so happy that her grandma had a stomachache. Seeing what her grandma was going to say, she waved her hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you can just play with yourself these days. You don't have to worry about their affairs. Don't go."
Adding chaos."
Chu Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, don't worry, I can handle it myself. Just have fun with your aunt and cousin these days."
"By the way." He looked at Liu Xiaoli: "Auntie, have you got your tickets for tonight?"
"I got it. It's for the six of us. We'll have dinner early and then go in to watch the opening ceremony." Liu Xiaoli nodded.
As an outstanding local company, it is normal for Bright Times to be assigned a few tickets. It also has some connections with cultural-related units such as Huaying Film and Television, and finally Wang Jinhua was able to get a dozen or so tickets.
Six of the tickets were given to Chu Xuan's family, the remaining tickets were given to his family of three, and the rest were distributed to people in the company.
As for Chen Kaige's shareholders, they have their own channels for obtaining tickets and do not need Wang Jinhua's arrangements.
As for the Olympic events, everyone wants to see the opening ceremony.
Since Liu Xiaoli had made preparations early, their family naturally wanted to join in the fun.
"What are you talking about? You are laughing so happily." After taking a bath, Liu Yifei changed into a set of beautiful summer clothes. She walked out with a hair dryer and prepared to dry her hair. She looked at Chu Xuan and said, "You should also take a bath. You are all wet."
It’s so transparent.”
"Go take a shower." Chu Xuan got up with his luggage and went to take a shower. After a few minutes, he changed into a set of clothes and came out, then went to the restaurant to have dinner with his family, talking and laughing.
Although having dinner at four in the afternoon is a bit early, considering the queues for admission, eating early is also to prepare for entry early.
