Familiar office.

It was empty, just me and my boyfriend - Xu Yifan.

"When is your birthday?" I asked, leaning on his shoulder, curious.

"April 18th. He replied gently, his eyes full of pampering.

I carefully wrote it down in my pink notebook, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: April 18 was really a special day.

"What are you asking me for my birthday? Do you want to fill out my classmates?" he continued to ask with interest, seeing that I was writing seriously.

Alumni?

Are the two of us classmates?

I'm a recent college graduate.

And you are a senior film and television star who has long been popular with half the sky.

debuted at a young age and starred in many film and television works, how can you say that you should be 30 years old now?

With such a big age gap between the two of us, how can we be classmates?

It's ridiculous!

Wait, what did I just say?

Movie star?

Xu Yifan, you are a popular star today, why are you in my office?

More importantly, how could you be my boyfriend?

Such a strange situation, why didn't I realize it at all just now, as if Xu Yifan's appearance by my side was a matter of course.

I must be dreaming!

……

Well, I just had a dream that was completely out of touch!

When I woke up, I was still lying on the cot in my familiar rented house.

I, Qin Xiaoyan, a recent college graduate, majoring in economic management, finally found my place in a construction company with a good reputation and a flat salary after layers of screening.

Such a job cannot bring me the earth-shattering career I imagined, and everyone has a clear division of responsibilities in the work.

To put it simply, it was this job that made me mechanically repeat the same work every day, and received a salary that would allow me to settle down in this strange city.

However, even so, I am still satisfied, at least I can eat all kinds of food I like, and I can buy back the clothes I have been looking forward to in the window in a planned way, which is enough, I have always been an easy person to satisfy!

Yes, there should be no difference between today and usual, the same route to the office, to the familiar office from last night's dream. Why is my state of mind different from yesterday?

Last night's dream was so real that it rippled in my otherwise peaceful heart.

Some self-deprecating people open their laptops, what's wrong with themselves, 22-year-olds, how can they seem to go back to the time when they were curious about everything when they were little girls?

Although I thought like this in my heart, I didn't seem to obey the call and typed the three big words "Xu Yifan" on the computer search interface, which was just a small confirmation, it shouldn't be like that.

Keep your eyes on the profile about him until it's fixed on his birthday - April 18th!!

Is it really April 18th, isn't that the date of my dream, is it a coincidence, or is it a hint from the heavens?

Many times, when someone or something walks through your mind, even if you don't pay more attention to them, their message will appear in your eyes like a highlighter point.

For example, today.

In my spare time, I am happy to scan through today's news headlines to see how ordinary citizens like me can gain greater personal benefits within the limits of national policy. However, this is the case, when I casually browsed the news headlines automatically pushed by the system one by one, Xu Yifan's name unexpectedly but logically jumped into my eyes - on October 21, Xu Yifan will hold a new book signing in Tahrir Square in W City.

Hey, this is a star!

Xu Yifan is not an idolistic flower boy who is madly worshiped by adolescent girls, nor is he a mature uncle with a steady atmosphere admired by middle-aged housewives. He is a super comedian who is detached from a specific pursuit group, with his unique temperament that is neither creamy nor sophisticated, and he wears black-framed round glasses that make the audience happy when they see it, and he is a household name and suitable for all ages through one excellent comedy, film and television work after another.

Some of the memories of him in my head gradually became clear under my deliberate combing.

I remember that the first TV series he starred in "Happy Little Cotton" was an unprecedented success, not only creating the myth of the first rating, but also successfully launching his popularity in China's huge entertainment market, allowing him, a young man who is only 18 years old, to occupy a place in the intricate entertainment industry.

It's a pity that later, he starred in some film and television works intermittently, but he never succeeded in replicating his earlier glory.

Until about three years ago, he switched from the TV drama market to the arms of the big screen of movies, and a "Lost Marshmallow" once again pushed him into the ranks of gold suckers, and the movie easily won 400 million box office in just two weeks after its release.

For a while, he once again became the darling of major directors and investors, and all kinds of resources came one after another, and all kinds of drafts were overwhelming.

In terms of common sense, other stars will definitely seize such a great opportunity in the face of it, acting in movies, releasing records, and doing variety shows...... And he, who is really a maverick, seems to disdain the fame and status at his fingertips, and resolutely retreats for three years, concentrating on study and research.

Now, he is back with "Crying Marshmallow", the second part of the "Marshmallow" series that he directed and starred in, and once again created a myth in the Chinese film industry, investing nearly 30 million in a small budget production, but achieving a gratifying result of 1.2 billion super high box office that shocked the whole country!

At this delicate moment, which may be called a bottleneck period for China's film and television industry, one after another so-called domestic large-scale films have been lost, and movie theaters have become a battlefield for foreign blockbusters to sway freely.

Only he, Xu Yifan, cannot but be called a myth!

Of course, the myth will eventually return to reality, this time Xu Yifan does not seem to be satisfied with achieving a super high box office of 1.2 billion, at the time of this popularity, he is no longer at the peak of his career as before, but while the iron is hot, he launched his first life biography "Xu You Are Extraordinary".

Regardless of the content of the book, I think the sales volume of this book can be imagined just by the fact that he is gaining momentum today.

But it's a coincidence that W City, which is a very ordinary big city in central China, is exactly where I currently work and live.

If it had been before, I would have swept away such news, they really didn't matter to me. However, everything that happened in the past two days completely changed my state of mind, and I had more affection and anticipation for him who was about to appear.
