I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

Even though his net worth is now well over 100 million, in front of his friends, he is still the most down-to-earth and reassuring Xiao Chen.

The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and night fell.

A warm yellow light shone in the kitchen of the Mushroom House.

Accompanied by the clanging of pots and pans, a sense of everyday life gradually spread.

Meanwhile, an unfortunate soul, unaware of what was about to happen, was stepping into this carefully laid "trap."

The night is getting darker.

In the kitchen of the Mushroom House, the range hood roared and steam rose.

The tangy and spicy flavor of the hot and sour shredded potatoes masked the previous fishy smell, making everyone's stomachs rumble.

Xiao Chen was quick and efficient.

Plates of delicious and visually appealing home-style dishes were quickly placed on the table.

Dilraba couldn't wait to pick up a big mouthful of shredded potatoes and stuff it into her mouth, her big eyes squinting into crescent moons with happiness.

"Brother Chen, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! You're even better than a chef at a state banquet!"

Reba praised him indistinctly while chewing.

Leslie Cheung, who was standing to the side, smiled and shook his head.

Anita Mui also picked up a piece of eggplant and put it in her mouth, looking quite pleased.

"He could easily make a living off his looks, but he's also such a good cook. He really doesn't leave any room for other male celebrities to compete."

Hearing the elders' praise, Xiao Chen simply smiled.

Under the soft light, that handsome face that had captivated the world appeared even more refined and charming.

He turned his head and winked at the camera.

"Everyone, eat more. After all, someone hasn't arrived yet, so we have to be more considerate of him."

Stephen Chow laughed heartily.

"Ah Chen, you're so mean. If Chen Chichi knew the truth, he'd probably cry his eyes out."

After dinner, everyone strolled together to the beach.

The sea breeze caressed my face, taking away the summer heat.

Tonight, the night sky is cloudless and filled with twinkling stars, like a blue ribbon studded with diamonds.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the starry sky here is exceptionally bright.

Dilraba excitedly jumped and danced on the beach.

"Wow! What a beautiful starry sky! Shall we take a picture?"

Anita Mui was the first to agree.

"Great, Ah Chen, you have the most clever ideas."

"Help us design some poses for photos."

Xiao Chen stood on the beach, the sea breeze blowing through his short hair, a lazy smile on his impeccable face.

"No problem, follow my instructions."

He began instructing everyone on how to pose.

Stephen Chow put his hands on his hips and struck an extremely exaggerated and funny pose.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui stood back to back, resembling the legendary duo on stage back in the day.

Dilraba stood next to Xiao Chen and secretly made a heart shape with her fingers; the camera captured that moment.

The group took many creative photos.

Laughter echoed across the empty beach.

After playing for about an hour, everyone's stomachs started to rumble.

Xiao Chen patted the sand off his hands.

"Let's go back to the Mushroom House and make everyone a late-night snack with the seafood we had left over this afternoon."

Dilraba was the first to cheer and jump for joy.

"Yay! Long live Brother Chen!"

Back at the Mushroom House, Xiao Chen immediately went into the kitchen.

Before long, a large pot of steaming, fragrant seafood porridge was ready.

The grill was also filled with sizzling, oily grilled oysters and mantis shrimp.

Just then, a van wobbled to a stop in front of the Mushroom House.

The car door opened, and Chen Chichi, dragging two large suitcases, walked in, covered in sweat.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the rich fragrance.

Wow! This smells amazing!

Chen Chichi's eyes lit up instantly. He didn't even bother to put down his luggage and went straight to the kitchen.

"Oh, hello teachers! It's better to be lucky than early!"

He swallowed hard as he greeted everyone.

Leslie Cheung smiled and nodded.

"Chichi's here. Sit down and have something to eat. Ah Chen just made this midnight snack."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chichi was overjoyed.

"Wow, Brother Chen, you're such a great guy!"

"I've been starving the whole way here!"

He sat down without any hesitation, picked up a large lobster, and started eating it.

"Mmm! This is delicious!"

"This mantis shrimp is absolutely amazing!"

Chen Chichi ate with his mouth full of oil, wolfing it down.

However, as he ate, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why is it so quiet around here?

He subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

Stephen Chow was holding a teacup, looking at him with an extremely deep and pitying gaze.

Anita Mui sighed and shook her head slightly.

A meaningful smile played on Leslie Cheung's lips.

Even Dilraba, who usually loves to joke, looked at him with pity at this moment.

Chen Chichi began to have doubts.

"Teachers, why are you all looking at me like that?"

Is there something on my face?

He touched his face.

Xiao Chen sat to the side, elegantly drinking water, with a harmless, sunny smile on his face.

"It's okay, Brother Chichi, eat more, you must eat your fill tonight."

Xiao Chen's voice was incredibly gentle.

Although Chen Chichi felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, he was a foodie after all, and the delicious food in front of him was too tempting.

"Who cares, let's eat first!"

He swung his arms and continued to eat heartily.

Finally, Chen Chichi devoured most of the seafood on the table by himself, patted his round belly, and let out a satisfied burp.

"This was amazing! This is definitely the happiest show I've ever filmed!"

He leaned back in his chair and said with a cheerful smile.

The people looked at him with even greater sympathy in their eyes.

After a satisfying meal, it was getting late.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Chen Chichi lay on the bed, secretly making plans.

"I'm definitely going to sleep in tomorrow. Anyway, with Brother Chen around, there's bound to be plenty of good food."

He pulled the covers over himself and quickly drifted off to sleep.

The night was deep.

Time passed by, second by second.

Four o'clock in the morning.

The entire mushroom house was still shrouded in darkness and silence.

Chen Chichi was having a sweet dream.

Suddenly, he felt someone patting his face.

"Slap, slap."

It wasn't very forceful, but it was extremely rhythmic.

Chen Chichi opened his eyes groggily, his vision blurred.

He rubbed his eyes and, with the help of the faint moonlight from the window, finally made out the figure standing by the bed.

That was a face so handsome it was outrageous.

Xiao Chen was wearing a tracksuit and looking down at him.

"Brother Chichi, wake up, it's time to get up."

Xiao Chen's voice sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Chen Chichi was completely stunned.

He struggled to sit up and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

The numbers above clearly show: 04:00.

Chen Chichi was completely dumbfounded.

"Brother Chen, are you kidding me? It's only four in the morning!"

He scratched his messy hair, his voice trembling with the sound of tears.

"Why did you wake me up so early? It's not even dawn yet!"
