Chapter 2198: Radiant Blossoms (Part 1)

“The peach blossoms are in full bloom, Baili Zhuo, Baili Zhuo, Baili Zhuo….”

“Three thousand miles of blooming peach blossoms, never wasting time, never forgetting Zhuo….”

“Amidst the rampant sea of flowers, protecting Zhuo as the king….”

At J City International Airport, the arrival gate was completely blocked by a group of fans dressed in pink T-shirts. Some held light signs with the character Zhuo on them, others carried large posters, chanting slogans in unison, with excitement on their faces, eagerly watching the exit.

Upon seeing this scene, passersby quickly joined the ranks of fans when they heard it was Baili Zhuo.

Speaking of Baili Zhuo, he became the hottest idol superstar in just one year since his debut. His popularity is increasing day by day, and out of any ten people you pull on the street, nine are his fervent fans.

In this modern age, new idols in the entertainment industry emerge endlessly, like fast food. When one batch cools down, another comes up, so there’s never a worry about the market. When Baili Zhuo first debuted, some people said he was just a fleeting flower and wouldn’t stay popular for long. However, a year later, he was extremely popular, and those who said such things were completely silenced.

Baili Zhuo’s popularity is both accidental and inevitable. It is said he was discovered by a talent scout while walking on the street. His family disapproved of him entering the entertainment industry, but the scout persuaded Baili Zhuo with eloquent words. Baili Zhuo entered the field with a playful attitude, and now fans are immensely grateful to the scout who discovered him because without him, the later Baili Zhuo, who captivated countless women, wouldn’t exist.

In the entertainment world, great fame often comes with intense criticism. When he first became popular, there was an overwhelming amount of negative press. Later, it was revealed that Baili Zhuo came from a prestigious Family of Scholars in Jiangnan’s Gusu, a family with over a hundred years of history. The Baili family has been charitable for generations, always offering aid during disasters, highly esteemed by the public. As the only son of this generation in the Baili family, Baili Zhuo was intelligent and kind-hearted from a young age. Even when he was little, he spent his allowance helping the poor, and couldn’t bear to harm even an ant. The family raised many stray cats and dogs, and the name Baili Zhuo was known by everyone in Gusu City, revered as a living Bodhisattva.

After learning about his life and deeds, the critical voices diminished significantly, and fans were deeply moved by the charisma of this man. The more they learned, the more they loved, until they went completely crazy.

As one fan aptly put it, he’s like a poppy: beautiful to look at, yet very dangerous.

Because once you come into contact, you become addicted, until you can no longer quit.

In just one year since his debut, he released an album, acted in a TV drama and a movie, and with just the movie and TV drama, he won numerous awards, nearly sweeping all the newcomer awards, which is almost the highest honor for a newcomer. This shows the industry’s recognition of his acting skills. At the very least, among this group of young actors, he is undoubtedly the most skilled and the most serious about the profession of acting, and his greatest advantage is his age.

At twenty-two, he has reached heights that other actors can only dream of, with fans, achievements, and the right attitude.

Some predict that at his current growth rate, he will become the most accomplished male actor in the history of Country Hua, a future super superstar.

Today is his mother’s fiftieth birthday. Baili Zhuo turned down all his engagements to specifically return to Gusu to celebrate her birthday. Though he tried to be very low-key, the fans were too fervent, and the news leaked out, leading to a crowded airport, all just to catch a glimpse of him.

Suddenly, a fan pointed at the exit and shouted excitedly, “He’s out.”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.” In an instant, all eyes turned that way.

There appeared a very young man, about 182 cm tall, wearing a white casual outfit, walking leisurely, his figure tall and straight, with an air of calmness and elegance. A white baseball cap covered his eyes and eyebrows, revealing only a sharply cut jawline, with a young man’s angles.

Seeing the frenzied fans, the man raised his hand in greeting, offering a gentle smile.

With his smile, it was as if every flower in the world bloomed.

The cheers were like waves, almost swallowing the entire airport.

As he walked out, fans spontaneously made way, the shouts deafening, and the man brought his hand softly to his lips, “Let’s not disturb others.”

Indeed, as soon as he spoke, it was as if a switch was flipped, and the shouting instantly stopped.
