Liu Qianqian desperately reached out her hand.

Their fingertips brushed against each other in the air.

At this critical moment.

Liu Qianqian's ankle was caught on a rope.

She was suddenly pulled back.

The immense impact caused her to let out a muffled groan.

at the same time.

Cheng Long grabbed the safety rope connecting the two of them.

The robotic arm stopped.

The two were suspended outside the space station.

He barely maintained his balance by clinging to the parachute rope that could break at any moment.

Alfonso stared at the monitor, his hands gripping the edge of the table tightly.

"Close up! Shoot Liu's expression!"

The camera zooms in.

Liu Qianqian was covered in sweat.

His eyes revealed extreme fear and despair.

She clung tightly to the rope.

"Yang! I can't catch him!"

The rope was slipping off little by little.

Cheng Long was suspended below her.

He looked at the taut rope, then at Liu Qianqian.

A resolute glint flashed in the veteran's eyes.

"Xia Xing".

Cheng Long's voice was extremely calm.

"This rope can't withstand the inertia of both of us."

Liu Qianqian shook her head violently.

"No! I can stop you!"

"Don't let go!"

Cheng Long reached out to unfasten the clasp at his waist.

You have to learn to let go.

"You must go back to Earth. You must survive."

Liu Qianqian's eyes instantly reddened.

Tears cannot fall in a weightless state; they can only swirl around in the eyes.

"Yang!"

There was a cry in her voice.

Cheng Long pressed the release button on the latch.

"Click".

The crisp sound was amplified in the headset.

The safety rope connecting the two people came off instantly.

The robotic arm quickly retreated.

Cheng Long's body drifted away into the endless depths of space.

"Yang—!"

Liu Qianqian reached out, trying to grab him.

Cheng Long's voice grew weaker and weaker over the communication channel.

"Remember... tell Tiangong that I broke the record for spacewalking."

All that remained on the communication channel was harsh static.

Liu Qianqian was suspended in mid-air.

She looked in the direction where Cheng Long had disappeared.

His eyes were vacant.

His chest heaved violently.

That extreme sense of loneliness and powerlessness struck everyone's hearts directly through the monitor.

"Click!"

Alfonso suddenly stood up.

He clapped enthusiastically.

Thunderous applause erupted in the studio.

The robotic arm slowly descended.

Staff members quickly stepped forward to help the two unload their heavy equipment.

As soon as Liu Qianqian landed, she collapsed onto the cushioning mat.

Tears finally streamed down my face.

Cheng Long walked over and handed her a tissue.

"Girl, you acted well."

Liu Qianqian took the tissue, wiped her face haphazardly, and stood up, sobbing.

Yu Le slowly swayed over, carrying his ever-present thermos.

She was thinking to herself that she had shed half a pound of tears during this scene, and she would have to buy her daughter lots of delicious food to make up for it.

Two figures darted out from the side; they were Xue Zhiqian and Shu Chang, who were still reeling from the scene just now.

Xue Zhiqian rushed to Cheng Long, his face flushed with excitement, and he almost became sworn brothers on the spot.

"Big brother! You're my idol! Can I get your autograph? Your acting just now was absolutely amazing!"

Shu Chang then hugged Liu Qianqian, who was still wiping away tears.

"Sissi! You're amazing! I was watching from downstairs, my heart was pounding with tension, and then... and then I got hungry."

The entire room fell silent instantly.

All eyes were on Shu Chang.

This girl's thought process is truly unique.

Yu Le tapped her on the forehead in an annoyed tone.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you hungry? You can even decide whether to have hot pot or barbecue for dinner just by looking at the weather forecast."

Shu Chang covered her head and pouted in grievance.

"They're just experiencing a lot of emotional fluctuations and need to replenish their energy."

"Alright, alright!" Alfonso emerged from behind the monitor, clapped his hands vigorously, and announced, "Mr. Jackie Chan's scenes are all wrapped up for today!"

Thunderous applause erupted once again.

Staff members came forward one after another to shake hands and take photos with this highly respected kung fu superstar.

Jackie Chan responded to each question with his signature friendly smile on his face.

Yu Le stepped forward and waved his hand dismissively.

"That's a wrap! Tonight it's my treat, the whole crew, to 'Beijing First-Class' – eat as much as you want!"

"Yay! Long live the boss!"

"Mr. Yu is so generous!"

The crew erupted in cheers even louder than when filming wrapped.

Shu Chang, in particular, had a gleam in her eyes that rivaled that of a searchlight, and she was practically drooling.

"The best in the capital! Their Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and roast suckling pig are absolutely amazing!"

Xue Zhiqian leaned closer, winking and making faces.

"Boss, the average cost of living in that place isn't low, you've really gone too far..."

Yu Le glanced at him.

"What, are you feeling sorry for yourself? How about you treat us this time?"

Xue Zhiqian shrank his neck and instantly stood at attention.

"No way! I'm just worried about you! Your money is my money, spending your money feels like cutting off my own flesh!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran to help pack things up, his movements were faster than anyone else's.

Yu Le couldn't be bothered with his behavior.

……

At 7 p.m., in the top-floor VIP room of Jingcheng Yipin.

A huge mahogany round table, large enough to seat twenty people.

Yu Le threw a menu that was as thick as an encyclopedia directly in front of Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang.

"You're welcome."

The two girls exchanged a glance and revealed smiles like those of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony!"

What followed was downright bloody.

"Two bowls of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, please!"

"A whole roasted suckling pig, please!"

"Australian lobster, with garlic, and I'd also like a baked lobster with cheese!"

"And this snowflake beef, ten plates please!"

Xue Zhiqian listened from the side, his eyelids twitching, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.

Even though it wasn't his money, this is still incredibly extravagant!

He carefully pointed to a corner of the menu.

"Um... Boss, how about some cucumber salad to make it more refreshing?"

Yu Le picked up the Pu'er tea that the waiter had just brewed and blew on it.

"If you want to eat it, go to the kitchen and take a picture yourself."

Xue Zhiqian felt wronged. The two of them ordered so many delicacies and nothing happened, so why couldn't she order a cucumber salad?

Brother Cheng Long sat in the main seat, watching the group of young people making a ruckus with a smile.

At his age, he's tasted all sorts of delicacies, but he finds this lively, bustling atmosphere particularly precious.

The food was served very quickly.

Just moments ago, actress Liu Qianqian was enacting a life-or-death farewell scene in space, but now she has completely transformed into a lazy bum.

She held a lobster claw in her left hand and a piece of roast suckling pig in her right, her mouth greasy with oil, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

I've finally managed to indulge in a meal, and today I'm determined to get my money's worth!

Shu Chang is an even heavier contender.

A pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall sits in front of her. While drinking the rich soup, she directs the waiter to put the roasted beef into the hot pot.

She kept repeating, "Sisi, quick, this meat is cooked, you should try it!"
