Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, after breakfast, the group boarded a bus to the next scenic spot.
Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed. Cheng Jun, holding his camera, expressed his anticipation for the rest of the trip. Pan Xiaoyu remained indifferent. Su Jie and Chen Lin were still reminiscing about yesterday's amusement park visit, while Xiao Qiang was even more excited for tomorrow's trip to the film studio...
In comparison, Zhang Lang and Jiao Zuoren were much more silent.
Zhang Lang has always been like this, while Jiao Zuoren is completely different from his talkative style of the previous two days. Although he occasionally tries to find topics, neither he nor the others are as natural as they were the previous two days. Under the awkwardness, the conversation is difficult to continue, and in the end, they can only remain silent.
The car drove all the way to their destination for the third day, the Sea Cliff Valley.
As the most famous natural scenic area on Fangzhou Peninsula, it is filled with strange rocks, lush vegetation, and fresh air. Coupled with the fog near the sea, it is described as a fairyland on earth in promotional materials.
Today was lucky; Fangzhou Peninsula has been experiencing abundant rainfall and high humidity recently, resulting in a misty atmosphere. Even while still on the bus, the passengers were taking out their phones to take pictures, marveling at the stunning scenery in the valley.
Following the tour guide's directions, everyone disembarked and entered the valley in an orderly fashion, walking along the well-maintained mountain path. Along the way, there were not only red flowers and green trees, moss and strange rocks, but also many ancient sites and pavilions, many of which had their own true or false stories. The tour guide introduced them along the way, and soon led everyone to the deepest part of the valley.
"Look everyone, this is the most famous scenic spot in the Haiya Valley, Yue Nu Tan (Eng Nü Tan). It's a clear pool formed by the convergence of springs and waterfalls in the valley. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery is serene. It's known as one of the ten most beautiful waterfalls in ASEAN!"
As they spoke, the group followed the guide deeper into the pool, but soon discovered that a large number of people had gathered near the pool, and there seemed to be a lot of machinery set up, making it difficult to get close.
Everyone was puzzled and asked the tour guide what was going on. The tour guide calmed the tourists down, made a phone call, and after a few "uh-huhs," replied, "I just found out that a film crew is shooting here. If you're interested, you can go closer to take a look, but you can't interfere with the filming. If you don't want to join the crowd, we can approach Yue Nu Tan via another route!"
Most of the group consisted of young people, and when they heard that a film crew was shooting, they were very curious and wanted to go and join in the fun, so the tour guide led everyone to get closer.
Upon closer inspection, although there were many filming machines, it seemed that they were not actually being used. Instead, a large number of fans and tourists gathered around, calling out the names of their idols. The actors, still in costume, looked very friendly and posed for the fans' cameras during their breaks, eliciting screams from the crowd.
Zhang Lang wasn't interested in these things, but the others in the group were very excited, especially Xiao Qiang.
"This looks like the crew of 'The Kingdom of the County', right? Isn't that Song Yiwen's new drama?" Upon realizing he might meet his idol, this guy immediately got excited and, taking advantage of his height and size, led the way to squeeze into the crowd!
Most girls enjoy watching dramas and following celebrities. Chen Lin, of course, was no exception; her main reason for coming to Fangzhou Peninsula was to visit the film and television city. Although Su Jie wasn't exactly a fangirl, she was still very curious about seeing celebrities and film crews. The most surprising person, however, was Pan Xiaoyu.
This cool girl, who usually seems a bit rebellious, is actually a fangirl. It seems that there are also her idols in this film crew. The girl followed closely in Xiaoqiang's footsteps and squeezed into the crowd.
As for the remaining girls, Cheng Jun wanted to stick close to his girlfriend, while Zhang Lang was less interested at the end... Somewhat surprisingly, Jiao Zuoren perked up at this point and joined the girls, while also trying to find topics to talk about.
"I usually pay close attention to the entertainment industry!" Jiao Zuoren laughed. "After all, lawsuits involving rights protection and contracts are major business these days, and celebrities are willing to pay litigation fees. Many entertainment companies also hire legal counsel... I interned with my seniors before and even visited a few talent agencies..."
"Really?" Chen Lin looked incredulous.
"Of course it's true!" Jiao Zuoren glanced inside. "Perfect, there's an artist in here, someone I met last time..."
This guy seems to have really done his research, he knows a lot about celebrity gossip, and even has insider information... This topic finally piqued the interest of others, and in this lively atmosphere, it no longer seemed so awkward, easing the tension considerably.
However, it seems the crew was only there to film a small scene, and there weren't any big-name stars, including Song Yiwen, whom Xiaoqiang was really looking forward to.
There were too many chaotic fans at the scene, and the tour guide was urging everyone to hurry up with the itinerary. After watching the excitement for a while, the group left and continued their tour of the scenic area. However, compared to before, Jiao Zuoren finally found something to talk about for the rest of the trip.
He now felt incredibly stupid! Girls are naturally interested in celebrities and actors; he should have started talking about that earlier! Ugh…
On the way back, Jiao Zuoren felt both annoyed and relieved. He had managed to win the attention of a few girls by telling them some celebrity gossip he had heard or even made up on the spot, which slightly salvaged his image.
"Tell me, is all this information reliable?" Cheng Jun was the first to raise doubts. "This guy cheated on his girlfriend, that guy did drugs—let me tell you, if this gets out, even a big star like Renmin University will sue you for defamation!"
"Tsk! How could I say something like that?" Faced with the accusation, Jiao Zuoren appeared self-righteous: "Let me put it this way, you know that popular idol Peng Junxiu, right?"
"We know, we know!!" Chen Lin and Pan Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, saying in unison, "We really like him..."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes a feeling of regret for not having met sooner.
"You guys probably don't know, but this guy is actually a military enthusiast!" Jiao Zuoren chuckled. "Their company once commissioned my senior's firm to handle a case, and I went along as their assistant. We even added each other on WeChat... I have to say, that guy looks so gentle and weak on screen, but he's actually quite masculine!"
"Really?" Seeing his girlfriend's expression change, Cheng Jun questioned, "Someone like him? I could never associate him with the concept of a tough guy!"
"It's true!" Jiao Zuoren said earnestly, "When we met, Peng Junxiu had just finished working out and was wearing a sports uniform. Although he wasn't muscular, his muscles were well-defined and he had a lot of explosive power. He also always carried a book with him, usually a book about military weapons... If he hadn't become a celebrity, I feel he would have been more likely to join the army!"
"Ah, I knew our Junxiu wasn't that superficial!" Chen Lin exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight. "His gentleness is just to cater to the market; deep down, he still has a strong sense of patriotism!"
"Just because someone is good-looking doesn't mean they have a strong sense of national pride?" Cheng Jun scoffed. "If someone is ugly, isn't they just a deadbeat military nerd?"
"You're not allowed to talk about my idol like that!"
"What idol? I think he made that up!"
…………
Watching the young couple playfully interacting, Zhang Lang knew that Jiao Zuoren's words were most likely true. Whether this handsome Peng was working out or learning about weapons, it wasn't a hobby, but simply a necessity for survival.
