A top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also a Taoist priest.

Chen Shouyi smiled, cupped his hands in a Daoist salute, and then spoke slowly:

"I usually go to bed at ten o'clock. Didn't I already reply to you this morning?"

"What the hell!" Jin Chen felt a bit annoyed just thinking about it. "You only replied 'yes,' and that was at 7 a.m.!"

She lay in bed for ages last night, typing and deleting, finally coming up with the safest opening line: "Master, are you there?"

After sending the message, she stared at the screen and waited for a long time without any response. Eventually, she fell asleep while holding her phone.

I was woken up by my phone vibrating around 7 a.m., and when I groggily opened it, there was only one person there.

Jin Chen almost threw her phone away.

She took a nap, put on makeup, and went to the film set. She ran into Gulnazar at the hotel entrance, who asked her where she was going. She said she was going to the film set.

Naza tilted her head and smiled, saying she would go too. Then Naza ran to knock on Chen Yao's door and practically dragged him out.

The three of them arrived together.

Jin Chen grew increasingly angry and couldn't help but add, "Couldn't you have typed a few more words?"

Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said seriously, "This humble Taoist can come back next time."

"...What's the difference?"

Just as Jin Chen was about to continue his accusations, he heard footsteps behind him again.

Naza wore a light-colored floral dress today, with her long hair down and sunglasses pushed up on her head.

Chen Yao remained calm and composed, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and holding a cup of soy milk. She was being pulled along by Nazha, her expression a mix of bewilderment and helplessness.

Naza stopped in front of Chen Shouyi and greeted him with a smile: "Greetings, Daoist Master."

Chen Yao also bowed slightly: "Daoist Master."

Chen Shouyi returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Two benefactors."

He glanced at the three of them, then looked towards the scenic area, and casually said:

"I heard there's an event going on outside, and I'm planning to go check it out. Would you gentlemen like to join me?"

Jin Chen immediately stepped forward and stood beside Chen Shouyi without hesitation: "Daoist Master, I'll go with you!"

Naza glanced at Jin Chen's obsequious manner and rolled her eyes without saying a word.

Then her eyes darted around, and she turned to Chen Yao: "What kind of activity is it?"

Chen Yao thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It should be an event at the scenic area... I think I've heard someone mention it, something like 'Treading the Song'."

"Won't there be a lot of people?" Nazha frowned. "What if someone recognizes us?"

Chen Yao nodded and added seriously, "Today is Sunday, there are definitely more tourists than usual. If the three of us just walk out like this, we'll probably be surrounded before we get very far."

Chen Shouyi thought about it for a moment and felt that Nazha's words made sense.

He was already conspicuous enough walking around the scenic area alone in his Taoist robe, but if he brought three female celebrities with him, the scene would be really inappropriate, and the number of people turning their heads to look at him would probably be off the charts.

At that time, let alone shopping, people will probably be too weak to even walk.

"I'll go by myself," Chen Shouyi said with a smile to the three of them. "It's better for you gentlemen to stay here."

Jin Chen immediately looked at Nazha with a smug grin, "I'm not as famous as you guys. I'll go with you, Daoist Master."

Naza's lips twitched; she wanted to say something, but Jin Chen was telling the truth. She and Chen Yao were indeed much more famous than Jin Chen, and the probability of them being recognized in scenic areas was much higher.

Chen Shouyi didn't dwell on it and nodded to Nazha and Chen Yao: "See you later, benefactors."

"Take care, Taoist priest." Nazha forced a smile.

Chen Yao nodded as well: "Take care, Daoist."

Jin Chen happily followed Chen Shou, and the two walked side by side toward the exit of the shed area. After walking several steps, Jin Chen turned back and winked at Nazha.

Naza watched the two figures from behind, remained silent for a moment, and then nudged Chen Yao's arm.

"Look at Jin Daxi, isn't he just too much?"

Chen Yao blinked blankly: "What's wrong?"

"What happened?" Nazha looked at her incredulously. "She kidnapped the Taoist priest all by herself! What do you mean, 'what happened'?!"

Chen Yao thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Jin Chen is naturally more proactive."

Naza took a deep breath and glanced in the direction the two had left. Jin Chen was talking to Chen Shouyi with his head turned to the side, his smile incredibly bright.

She was indeed quite interested in the Taoist priest. It wasn't that she had any particular thoughts about him, but she found his way of speaking quite interesting, and his calm and composed demeanor was rare in the circle.

But what interested her even more was causing trouble for Kim Dae-hee.

Just thinking about Jin Chen's possessive attitude, as if he were her food, made Nazha feel like she would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't annoy her a little.

Naza stood under the shade of a tree for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'd like to go shopping too." She turned to Chen Yao. "Are you coming?"

Chen Yao was taken aback: "Huh? But there are so many people... won't people recognize us?"

"It's okay, wait for me a moment."

Before Chen Yao could react, Nazha had already jogged towards the lounge. A few minutes later, she returned carrying two hats and two masks.

"Here you go." Nazha handed Chen Yao a baseball cap and a black face mask. "Put these on. They shouldn't be far away."

Chen Yao looked down at the hat and mask in her hand, then looked up at Nazha.

Naza had already put her hat on and her mask on, leaving only her deep, bright eyes visible, which were blinking at her.

"...Um, okay."

Today, outside the main gate of the Qingming Riverside Scene scenic area, the queue stretched from the ticket gate all the way to the parking lot.

The sun was already quite warm in mid-April, and many people were holding parasols. The queue was bustling with chatter; it was full of tourists.

A large red banner hung above the ticket gate, proclaiming "The Song Dynasty's Flower Festival Opens." Ancient-style music played from speakers on both sides, blending with the noise of the crowd, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Yujie! Stop playing on your phone, let's go!"

Mrs. Shen, carrying a bag in one hand and two tickets in the other, called out to the back.

At the back of the line, a girl with a ponytail was looking down at her phone, her fingers flying across the screen.

Hearing her mother call her, Shen Yujie looked up and replied, "Coming!"

She typed the last few words on her phone, sent them, and replied to her classmate in the QQ chat:

"I've arrived in Hengdian, and there are so many people! I wonder if I'll run into the film crew, hehe."

After sending the message, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and jogged to catch up with her mother.

The mother and daughter entered the scenic area. As they walked, Shen's mother looked around and muttered, "This place is much bigger than I thought." "It didn't look that wide in the TV series."

Shen Yujie followed half a step behind her mother, her eyes scanning the crowd as if searching for something.

She just turned fourteen this year and has already grown to over 1.6 meters tall. She has a neat ponytail, wears a white short-sleeved shirt with denim shorts, revealing a pair of straight and long legs.

Her skin was so white it was almost translucent, and although her features hadn't fully developed yet, it was already clear that she had a very good foundation. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her nose was straight, and she exuded a clean and lively energy.

Shen Yujie is from Dongyang, Jinhua, and has been a beauty since childhood.

She has loved watching TV since she was a child, and her biggest hobby on weekends is to curl up on the sofa and binge-watch dramas, whether they are period dramas or modern dramas.

Later, she developed a love for performing and would often imitate scenes from TV dramas in front of the mirror at home. Her parents praised her for her talent.

Last year, she won first place in the school's arts festival, and her teachers all said that she could try applying to art schools in the future.

Shen Yujie secretly checked the admission brochures of the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, and knew that the entrance exams for arts students required testing their voice, stage presence, physical appearance, and acting skills. She even watched videos of acting classes online.

She came to Hengdian this time because she knew that filming for "Legend of Nine Tails Fox" would begin there tomorrow.

She saw the news on Weibo, but unfortunately tomorrow is Monday and she has to go to class.

She begged her mother for several days to get this trip to Hengdian today. Even if she doesn't see the start of filming, what if she's lucky enough to run into the cast and crew?

"Mom, do you think we'll run into a celebrity today?" Shen Yujie asked casually as she linked arms with her mother and moved forward with the line.

Mrs. Shen glanced at her and said with a smile, "Do you think celebrities are as common as cabbages, that you can just bump into them at any tourist attraction?"

"What if?" Shen Yujie muttered.

Mrs. Shen shook her head and said nothing more.
