After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 53 Spend some quiet time
Sang Jiuyue felt that she had been pushed into a desperate situation. Those reporters were like a nightmare that she couldn't get rid of. They clung to her, asking questions and filming her non-stop. Every second was exacerbating her inner collapse and despair. She searched the streets in panic, and suddenly saw a taxi slowly approaching. She waved her arms desperately as if she had grabbed the last straw.

As soon as the taxi stopped, Sang Jiuyue opened the door, got in, and hurriedly shouted to the driver: "Master, drive faster, get rid of those reporters behind us, no matter how much money you give!" The driver was frightened by her panicked look. Before he could react, Sang Jiuyue had already hurriedly taken off her gold and silver jewelry and threw them all on the front seat.

"Master, I give you all these, just find a way to get rid of them!" Sang Jiuyue's voice was tearful and her eyes were full of pleading.

The driver was stunned at first when he saw the pile of valuable jewelry, but then he quickly came to his senses, stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi rushed out. The car sped along the street, constantly changing lanes, trying to get rid of the reporter car that was chasing it.

Sang Jiuyue sat in the back seat, leaning against the backrest, holding the handle tightly with both hands, staring at the rear window nervously. The reporters' cars were still chasing her, and the flash lights were flashing from time to time, making her upset.

"Master, please be faster, I beg you!" Sang Jiuyue urged again in a crying voice.

The driver also tried his best, relying on his skilled driving skills, turning left and right, running through several green lights, and finally, after a sharp turn, he successfully left the reporter's car behind for a distance. Gradually, the shadow of the reporter's car disappeared in the rearview mirror, and Sang Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief. She slumped in her seat like a deflated ball, and tears flowed uncontrollably again.

She looked at the street scene receding outside the car window, her heart filled with bitterness and regret, wondering how she had ended up in this situation. Her former glory and calculations had now become a joke, and the future was even more uncertain. She didn't know how to face this mess, and could only stay in this taxi, temporarily escaping the cruel reality.

Sang Jiuyue had just breathed a sigh of relief and was enjoying the relief of temporarily getting rid of the reporters, but she didn't expect something unexpected to happen again. The driver kept looking at her through the rearview mirror while driving, and the more he looked, the more familiar this face seemed to him. Suddenly, the driver seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Hey, who was I wondering? Isn't this the female star my kid always scolds at home?" The driver snorted coldly, his words full of disgust. As he spoke, he reached out and threw all the gold, silver and jewelry that Sang Jiuyue had just thrown at him back to the back seat.

The jewelry hit Sang Jiuyue's face with a fierce force, which made her feel a sharp pain and almost burst into tears. She covered her beaten face and looked at the driver in shock. Before she could ask what was going on, the driver shouted angrily: "Get out of the car! Humph, why do you look so familiar? Your character is too bad. I have heard a lot about the mess in the entertainment industry from my children. For someone like you, you may have made your money through improper means and by showing off your wealth. You are not clean! Don't stay in my car, get out of the car, get out of the car!"

Sang Jiuyue suddenly realized that she had just fled in a panic, and her face was covered with dust, which had already lost her usual delicate appearance. Now that she was recognized by the driver, she was even more despised. She felt sour in her heart, and wiped her face with trembling hands, trying to wipe off the dust on her face, but the embarrassment in her heart could not be wiped away.

She never thought that her reputation has become so bad that even ordinary taxi drivers hate her. It seems that the farce at the banquet has a much greater impact than she imagined. And today's luck is really bad. Everything goes wrong. She wanted to escape from those reporters, but was kicked out of the car here. She bit her lip, feeling wronged and helpless, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only get off the car in disgrace and stood on the street, looking at the direction where the taxi went away. She looked extremely lonely and helpless. She didn't know where to go next and how to face this worsening situation.

In a corner of a busy street in the city, Sang Jiuyue stood on the street in a daze, like a sculpture with its soul taken away, with empty and desperate eyes. Her world seemed to be muted at this moment. The hustle and bustle of the surrounding traffic and the noisy voices had nothing to do with her. She could only hear the sound of her own heartbreak. The taxi drove away in a cloud of dust, and the exhaust seemed to be the last mockery of fate on her, leaving her alone to face the scarred end of her life. Those seemingly glorious years and those carefully planned calculations were now like fragile soap bubbles, instantly shattered in the wind of reality, disappearing without a trace, leaving behind endless embarrassment and despair, entangled with her like a shadow.

Her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step she took required great effort. Once upon a time, she thought she could make a name for herself in the entertainment industry with her beauty and scheming, trample all those so-called competitors under her feet, and become the focus of everyone's attention. However, reality gave her a loud slap in the face. The scenes at the banquet were like a nightmare that kept playing in her mind. The undisguised disgust in Chu Ling's eyes was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into her heart; the ridicule and pointing of the crowd was like a cold acid rain, washing away her self-esteem; the reporters surrounded her like hungry wolves, leaving her with nowhere to escape, as if she was in purgatory on earth; even the taxi driver's gesture of driving her away and the look of disgust were like sharp needles, piercing her body.

She dragged her heavy feet, step by step, towards the rental house in her memory. That small rental house, carrying her youth and ignorance before she became famous, has now become her only refuge. Along the way, she lowered her head and tucked herself into her collar, trying to avoid the gazes of passers-by in this way. She was afraid of being recognized, afraid of seeing those strange eyes and hearing those harsh pointing and criticizing. Every possible look was like a light of judgment, filling her heart with fear and anxiety.

Finally, she arrived in front of the rental house. The mottled and dilapidated door seemed to be crumbling under the erosion of time. She took out the key with trembling hands. The key dangled in her hand, making a slight collision sound, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart. After a lot of effort, she inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door to the "abyss". The room was dim and the small and cramped space was filled with a stale atmosphere. There were some debris piled up in the corner that had not been cleaned up. Those debris seemed to be a symbol of her messy life; there were several places where the wall paint had fallen off, revealing mottled traces, as if the house was crying silently.

Sang Jiuyue slumped weakly on the hard little bed, and the bed board made a dull "creaking" sound, as if sighing for her fate. She stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, and the stains on the ceiling gradually blurred in her eyes, turning into various scenes of her past. She remembered her ambition when she first entered the entertainment industry. At that time, she had dreams and the light of hope in her eyes; she remembered how she had to humble herself to please the director and producer in order to get a small role. Those humiliating moments have now become an indelible pain in her heart; she remembered how she pretended to be pretentious at the banquet to attract everyone's attention, but eventually became a laughing stock. The shame made her cheeks slightly hot. She hugged her arms tightly, trying to draw a little warmth from her body, but her body still couldn't stop trembling slightly, and tears slid down her cheeks silently like a flood that broke through the dam, wetting the yellowed sheets under her.

Her heart was filled with regret. She regretted why she was so eager for quick success and why she chose those unscrupulous means to pursue so-called success. She once thought that as long as she could stand at the top of the entertainment industry, everything would be worth it and all the means would be reasonable. However, she ignored the most basic truth: good and evil will be rewarded. Now, she has lost everything, her reputation has been ruined, her friends have left her, and her career has fallen into an abyss of no return. How to go in the future? She is confused in her heart, like a ship that has lost its way in the dark. She can only lick her wounds alone in this small rental house, immersed in endless pain and regret, waiting for the next judgment of fate.

In a cozy coffee shop in another corner of the city, Sang Shuwan and Alice sat opposite each other. The sun shone through the window onto the table, coating the steaming coffee with a golden halo, but this warm atmosphere could not dispel the indifference of the two people towards Sang Jiuyue. Sang Shuwan gently stirred the coffee, and the spoon made a crisp sound when it collided with the wall of the cup. There was no sympathy in her eyes, but a hint of relief. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Alice, and said softly but firmly: "You have heard about what happened to Sang Jiuyue later, I really think she deserved it." Her voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a kind of judgmental power, echoing in this small coffee shop.

Alice picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The bitterness of the coffee spread on her tongue, but she felt a different kind of satisfaction. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, and responded: "That's not true. She always schemed against others before. In order to climb up, she would use any means. She has no bottom line at all." She put down the cup, tapped the table with her fingers, and revealed a trace of disdain in her eyes. "Remember that audition? In order to get that role, she actually spread rumors about me behind my back, saying that I was a big shot, and deliberately pretended to be innocent in front of me. It's really disgusting."

Sang Shuwan nodded, recalling the past scenes where Sang Jiuyue had repeatedly tripped and schemed secretly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she continued, "Yes, if she had been able to be quiet and not think about harming others, how could she have ended up like this? Although the entertainment industry is highly competitive, as long as you work hard and rely on your own abilities, you won't end up being hated by everyone." There was a hint of regret in her words, but more of it was accusations against Sang Jiuyue. "Just like the project we worked on before, she deliberately created chaos on the set to steal the limelight, which affected the entire progress, and finally pushed the responsibility onto others."

Alice gently put down the coffee cup, propped her chin with her hand, frowned slightly and said, "She is just too greedy. She always wants to take shortcuts and step on others to get ahead. Now, she has ruined her reputation. The reporters are surrounding her and the taxi drivers are disgusted with her. This is a taste of her own bitterness." There was a hint of pleasure in her eyes, as if she was enjoying a wonderful farce. "Besides, she thought she could keep hiding it all the time, but she didn't know that the public has sharp eyes and her scandals will be exposed sooner or later."

Sang Shuwan snorted lightly, her eyes full of disdain: "She should reflect on what she has done, but with her temper, she probably still thinks it is someone else's fault and doesn't realize that the problem lies with herself." She picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, feeling the warmth of the coffee sliding down her throat, but in her heart she was thinking about Sang Jiuyue's future, "I want to see what else she can do next, but I think she can't come up with any tricks."

The two smiled at each other, and their smiles showed gloating over Sang Jiuyue's current fate. After all, it was not easy to be schemed by her in the past. Now seeing her in such a state, they felt relieved. In their hearts, Sang Jiuyue was a negative example of a person who had brought trouble upon herself, and she did not deserve sympathy at all. They continued to sit in the cafe, enjoying this moment of tranquility, occasionally talking about other gossips in the entertainment industry, as if they had completely put Sang Jiuyue's affairs behind them and began to welcome a new chapter of their own lives.

After Alice finished talking to Sang Shuwan about Sang Jiuyue, a smug smile appeared on her lips, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She slowly took out her cell phone from her exquisite handbag, and the cell phone flashed a cold light in her hand, just like her heart at the moment. She found Sang Jiuyue's number and dialed it without hesitation.

The call was quickly connected, and Sang Jiuyue's expectant voice came through, with a hint of trembling and despair in her voice: "Alice, is there any good news? Have you found a solution for me?" Her voice seemed like a faint distress signal coming from the darkness, full of desire for hope.

Alice sneered and said mercilessly: "Sang Jiuyue, you are really naive. Good news? Do you think there will be any good news in this situation? You have made a mess of things, the whole network is condemning you, and the company has suffered huge losses because of you." Her voice was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Sang Jiuyue's heart.

Sang Jiuyue's voice suddenly became flustered, like a frightened deer: "Alice, I know I was wrong, I will try my best to make amends, you must help me." There was a crying tone in her words, as if she was making her last struggle.

"Help you?" Alice raised her voice, her voice full of anger and disgust, "You are hopeless. I am now officially notifying you that you are fired by the company. Pack up your things and leave quickly. Don't show up in front of me again and don't expect to stay in this circle. You have completely ruined your reputation and future." Every word she said was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in Sang Jiuyue's ears, completely destroying her last glimmer of hope.

Sang Jiuyue cried out in a crying voice: "Alice, no! I can't lose this job, what should I do?" Her crying voice came through the phone, but Alice remained indifferent.

Alice interrupted her impatiently: "You asked for this, you can't blame anyone else." After that, she hung up the phone with a satisfied look on her face, as if she had finally gotten rid of a heavy burden. She put the phone back into her handbag and walked out of the cafe with an elegant step, leaving Sang Jiuyue alone to face this sudden heavy blow, falling into endless despair and confusion.

After Sang Shuwan and Alice finished their conversation about Sang Jiuyue, she leaned back on the soft sofa, looking exhausted, as if she had just experienced a fierce war. She gently rubbed her forehead with her hands and pressed her fingers on her temples, trying to relieve her tense nerves. There was some helplessness and annoyance in her tone: "Alice, I have spent too much energy on this trivial matter of Sang Jiuyue. I really don't want to care about it anymore." There was a trace of fatigue and boredom in her voice, as if she was extremely fed up with all this.

Alice nodded slightly and responded, "That's right, she caused the trouble herself, but we have to worry about it. In that case, there is no need for us to make ourselves so tired." There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but more of it was a feeling of relief.

Sang Shuwan sat up straight, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and that light was like a star in the dark, illuminating her face. She suggested: "Why don't we go shopping, buy some beautiful clothes and bags, change our mood, and throw away all these troubles." There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in her voice, as if she had already seen those beautiful clothes and bags waving to her.

Alice's eyes suddenly lit up and she clapped her hands excitedly, her voice echoing in the room: "This is a good idea! I just happened to see some new bags recently and was thinking of checking them out. Come on, let's go to the mall now." Her face was filled with a smile, as if she had forgotten the unpleasantness when talking about Sang Jiuyue just now.

Sang Shuwan stood up, picked up her handbag, straightened her hair, and gave a confident smile to the mirror: "Okay, let's go for a good shopping and leave all the unhappiness outside the mall." Her movements were elegant and confident, as if she was ready to welcome a new happy time.

The two walked out of the room side by side, talking and laughing along the way, discussing the items they were about to buy and the latest fashion trends. Their laughter echoed in the air, as if they had completely forgotten about Sang Jiuyue's affairs, and were looking forward to the pleasure and relaxation that the shopping trip would bring. They were ready to use shopping to release the pressure accumulated during this period, to restore their vitality and good mood, and to meet new challenges and opportunities in life.

Alice stood outside the fitting room, her fingers boredly running over the clothes on the hangers beside her. The hangers collided with each other and made a slight "ding ding" sound. Her eyes drifted towards the fitting room from time to time, her heart full of anticipation. Finally, Sang Shuwan came out wearing the denim jacket. The fabric of the denim jacket glowed with a light blue luster under the light, which made it look particularly fashionable and casual. Alice's eyes lit up, and she smiled and joked, "My dear, this denim jacket is so suitable for you. It looks fashionable and casual, as if it was tailor-made for you." Her voice was full of praise and envy, and her eyes revealed a hint of amazement.

Sang Shuwan turned slightly and looked at herself in the mirror again. She was tall and straight in the mirror, and the denim clothes outlined her slender waist and long legs. She said with a smile on her lips: "It's quite good, but when I was trying on clothes just now, I suddenly thought of the desert in XJ. I want to go there for a vacation and experience the local customs." Her eyes revealed a trace of yearning and longing, as if she had seen the magnificent scenery of the XJ desert. Alice was slightly startled, raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Oh? Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" Her eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. She didn't understand why Sang Shuwan suddenly wanted to go on vacation in the desert.

Sang Shuwan's eyes revealed a trace of yearning, and she said slowly: "Suddenly, the vast desert emerged in my mind. The golden sand dunes sparkled in the sun, like a golden ocean. And those local people wearing traditional costumes, their lives must be full of unique charm. I want to ride a camel across the desert and feel the magnificence of the lonely smoke in the desert; to participate in their lively bonfire parties, sing and dance with them, taste authentic grilled lamb skewers and sweet fruits, and experience a completely different lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the troubles of the entertainment industry." Her voice was full of yearning and expectation, as if she was already in the desert.

Alice folded her arms across her chest and nodded thoughtfully: "It does sound tempting, but you have to be fully prepared to go to that kind of place. The climate conditions in the desert are unusual, hot and dry, and you may encounter sandstorms. But then again, if you really go, you might bring back a lot of inspiration, whether it is for life or work, you may get new insights." There was a hint of worry in her eyes, but more of it was support and encouragement for Sang Shuwan.

Sang Shuwan gently stroked the cuffs of her jeans. The stitching on the cuffs was fine and neat, which made her feel at ease. She said with a firm look in her eyes, "Yes, I think so too. I am tired of the busyness and complexity here, and I live under various pressures and calculations every day. I want to go to a pure place to relax myself. Maybe after I come back, I can face everything in a better state." Her eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination, as if she was ready to go to the desert.

Alice walked forward with a smile and patted Sang Shuwan on the shoulder. The touch on his shoulder made Sang Shuwan feel warm and powerful: "Okay, then you have to plan it carefully.

The two smiled at each other, their smiles full of expectations and visions for the future. It was as if they had seen Sang Shuwan enjoying her vacation in the XJ desert, and the atmosphere outside the fitting room at this moment became more relaxed and joyful because of this beautiful vision. They continued to choose the items they needed for the trip in the mall, making full preparations for the upcoming desert trip, looking forward to this trip bringing new colors and changes to their lives.

Alice and Sang Shuwan smiled at each other, their eyes full of anticipation and determination for this trip to the XJ desert. They left immediately and began to prepare for the trip.

The two came to the eyewear store in the mall, where there were all kinds of glasses on display. They carefully selected a pair of fashionable and practical sunglasses. The frame of the sunglasses has smooth lines, like an elegant curve, and the color is a deep and mysterious black, as if it can absorb all the light. The lenses are made of high-quality UV-proof material, which can effectively block the strong sunlight in the desert and protect their eyes from harm. Sang Shuwan put on the sunglasses and gently shook her hair in front of the mirror. Her hair fluttered in the wind, looking particularly chic. She raised the corners of her mouth and showed a confident smile: "These sunglasses are good. They can protect against the sun and shape your look. It must be super cool to take pictures in the desert." Her voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if she had already seen the beautiful picture of herself wearing sunglasses in the desert.

Alice also tried them on. The sunglasses fit her facial contours and made her look more fashionable and mysterious. She nodded and praised: "Indeed, very stylish." Her eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction and love, and she couldn't put down the sunglasses.

Then, they quickly purchased other equipment. A sturdy and durable backpack, made of a durable material, with enough capacity to hold the clothes, daily necessities and photography equipment needed for the trip; lightweight and comfortable hiking shoes, with deep patterns on the soles, which seemed to be specially designed for conquering the desert and could provide good grip on the soft sand dunes; wide-brimmed sun hats, sun-proof clothing, large-capacity water bottles, compasses, maps and some common medicines. Each piece of equipment was carefully selected by them, taking into account the particularity of the desert environment and the convenience of travel. They shuttled through the mall, with more and more shopping bags in their hands, and their expectations became stronger and stronger.

When everything was ready, Alice and Sang Shuwan walked out of the mall carrying large and small bags. The sun shone on them, reflecting their slender figures. Their hearts were full of excitement and excitement about embarking on a new journey. They seemed to have seen the magnificent scenery of the XJ Desert waving to them, and felt the unique local customs waiting for them to explore. For them, this impromptu trip was not just a simple vacation, but also an adventure to escape from the hustle and bustle, pursue freedom and beauty, and they couldn't wait to start this journey, to embrace the unknown excitement, to explore the mysterious desert world, and to find their own spiritual comfort and new direction in life.

The plane slowly rose to a high altitude. After a smooth flight, Alice and Sang Shuwan leaned back in their chairs and breathed a sigh of relief. The journey officially began.

Sang Shuwan was the first to break the silence, looking at the sea of clouds outside the window with a dazed look. The sea of clouds was like a piece of white cotton candy, gleaming softly in the sun. Her thoughts seemed to drift with the sea of clouds, returning to the past: "Alice, do you remember when we first entered this circle? We were full of longing and felt that the future was bright and beautiful.
The plane slowly rose to a high altitude. After a smooth flight, Alice and Sang Shuwan leaned back in their chairs and breathed a sigh of relief. The journey officially began.

Sang Shuwan was the first to break the silence, looking at the sea of clouds outside the window with a dazed look in her eyes: "Alice, do you still remember when we first entered this circle? We were full of longing and felt that the future was bright, but who could have thought that the road would be so bumpy." Her voice was soft, with a hint of sadness, as if the hardships of the past were coming to her through the clouds.

Alice smiled bitterly: "Yes, I was so naive at that time. I thought that as long as I had talent and worked hard, I could easily succeed. But what is the reality? There are open and covert struggles and unspoken rules everywhere. Just like that time when I prepared for a role for several months, and every aspect was perfect for it, but it was snatched away by someone using unfair means. That feeling of powerlessness was really uncomfortable." There was a trace of pain in her eyes, as if she had experienced that loss again.

Sang Shuwan nodded, with a hint of sadness in her eyes: "I am the same. I was maliciously slandered before, and the pressure of public opinion almost crushed me. Those false remarks were overwhelming, and no one listened to my explanations. It was really difficult to move forward." She clenched her hands unconsciously, as if she wanted to grasp the opportunities that had slipped away and the dignity that had been hurt.

"But we are not without gain." Alice sat up straighter, a firmness in her eyes. "At least we have grown in the process, learned how to protect ourselves, and seen the true colors of the people around us." There was a hint of relief in her tone, as if she had found a ray of light in the darkness.

Sang Shuwan agreed, "That's right. Those who can't defeat us will eventually make us stronger. The road ahead may still be difficult, but I think we have enough courage to face it." Her eyes became firm, and as she looked towards the clouds in the distance, she seemed to see hope for the future.

Alice looked at Sang Shuwan, her eyes full of trust: "Well, no matter what we encounter in the future, we must support each other. There may be more difficulties, but there will also be new opportunities. I believe we can find our own piece of sky in this complex world." She stretched out her hand and held Sang Shuwan's hand tightly, conveying warmth and strength.

The two held hands tightly, as if giving each other strength. They knew that the past was full of hardships and the future might not be smooth sailing, but at this moment, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they were no longer afraid, but with expectations for the future and support for each other, they were ready to meet unknown challenges and move forward firmly in this complex world.

The plane flew smoothly in the vast night sky, and the roar of the engine sounded like a monotonous lullaby. Alice and Sang Shuwan gradually felt sleepy during their chat and fell asleep unknowingly.

After an unknown amount of time, Sang Shuwan suddenly woke up with a start. She opened her eyes dazedly and turned to look out the window. In an instant, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. The bright stars were like gems inlaid on the black sky, shining with dazzling light, mysterious and magnificent. She couldn't help but pat Alice beside her and said excitedly: "Alice, wake up, look at the stars outside!" There was a hint of surprise and excitement in her voice, as if she had discovered a whole new world.

Alice sat up sleepily, and looked in the direction of Sang Shuwan's finger. All her sleepiness disappeared instantly, and she exclaimed, "Wow, it's so beautiful!" They moved closer to the window, admiring this rare feast of the starry sky without blinking.

In the city, lights and pollution often cover up the brilliance of the stars, but at this moment, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, without those obstructions, the stars fully display their brilliance. Some stars shine alone, like the king of the night sky; some are in groups of two or three, leaning against each other, as if telling an ancient story. The Milky Way is like an ethereal ribbon, spanning the sky, connecting countless stars together, exuding a dreamy atmosphere.

Alice whispered, "Such a beautiful starry sky makes me feel that our daily troubles become insignificant. In front of this vast universe, we are so small." Her voice was soft, with a hint of awe of the universe and emotion for life.

Sang Shuwan nodded, her eyes full of emotion: "Yes, maybe we should let go of the unpleasantness of the past, and like these stars, strive to shine in our own orbits, and don't care about those short-lived hazes." Tears flashed in her eyes, as if the starry sky touched the softness deep in her heart.

The two of them leaned against each other quietly, immersed in the beautiful starry sky, their hearts full of peace and tranquility. The fatigue from the previous journey and the pressure of life disappeared at this moment, leaving only awe of the natural beauty and new expectations for future life.

When Jiang Cimu learned about the trip planned by Alice and Sang Shuwan, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face, but he soon showed an understanding smile. He held their hands and said casually, "Go ahead and have fun, and relax. Although I feel a little aggrieved that you don't bring a handsome guy like me with you, I know this is your exclusive time as girls, so I won't get involved." His eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, but more of a blessing and support for the two.

Alice smiled and joked, "Oh, has our handsome Jiang become more considerate? Don't worry, we will bring you a gift when we come back." Her smile was so bright that it warmed the air around her like the sun.

Sang Shuwan also nodded: "That's right, this time we just want to enjoy our time alone together, and next time we will find a chance to go out together." Her eyes were full of apology and expectation, hoping that Jiang Cimu could understand their thoughts.

Jiang Ci Mu crossed his arms and raised his head slightly: "Then I'll be waiting for your gifts, but please be careful outside and call me if anything happens." There was a hint of concern and worry in his tone, like a knight protecting his friend.

His eyes were full of concern, and although he felt a little reluctant, he chose to respect their decision. After all, he understood that friendships between girls sometimes needed such alone time to maintain and deepen, and as a friend, all he could do was to silently support and bless them from behind.

When Alice and Sang Shuwan finally set foot on the land of XJ, the vast desert suddenly came into their sight, and their hearts were deeply shocked. The desert was like a golden ocean, with rolling sand dunes like waves of the sea, shining with charming light under the sunshine. The wind blew gently, and the sand grains danced with the wind, making a subtle rustling sound, as if the desert was whispering an ancient story. In the distance, several drought-resistant cacti grew tenaciously, adding a touch of vitality and green to the monotonous golden color. The sky was as blue as a gem, without a trace of clouds to block it, and the sun poured down without reservation, shining on the body a little hot, but also making people feel a different kind of warmth and openness.

Alice opened her arms excitedly, closed her eyes, and felt the breath of the desert: "Wow, this is the desert, it's more spectacular than I imagined!" Her voice echoed in the desert, as if she was swallowed by the desert, and as if the desert was responding to her.

Sang Shuwan was also shocked by the scene before her. She took a deep breath, her eyes full of amazement: "Yes, here, it feels like all my troubles have become insignificant. This desert is like a mysterious world, waiting for us to explore." Her eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement, like a child about to embark on an adventure.

They could not wait to move forward, the sand under their feet was soft and fine, and each step left a deep footprint. The vastness of the desert made them feel the majesty and greatness of nature, and also made them look forward to the next journey, eager to leave their own unique memories in this magical land, to discover the beauty and surprises hidden behind the sand dunes, to experience the unique local customs and customs, and to let their souls get a thorough baptism and relaxation in this desert.
