Dilraba's rise to fame began with her appearance on Running Man.

Dilraba was completely stunned, her big eyes reflecting Deng Zhe's face, as if the whole world had only consisted of him.

"Hey!" Deng Zhe waved his hand in front of her eyes: "What are you staring at? Are you mesmerized by my good looks? Don't be obsessed with me, I'm the man you can't have."

"Pah!!" Reba, snapping out of her daze, glared at him playfully. "Only a devil would fall for a devil like you."

After saying that, he quickly swiped open the door and went inside, slamming the door shut with a "bang." He leaned against the door, covering his slightly flushed cheeks.

Deng Zhe, standing outside the closed door, shook his head: "How absurd!"

She then turned and went back to her room. Just as she was about to take a shower, the doorbell rang.

At this time? He had a pretty good idea who it was.

I went over and opened the door, and sure enough, it was Deng Chao.

He was carrying a bag in his hand, and had an excited smile on his face, as if he was about to cause trouble.

Deng Zhe turned to the side helplessly: "Brother, why aren't you asleep so late? Don't you have a show to record tomorrow?"

"Oh dear, the night is so long, I can't sleep!" Deng Chao nimbly squeezed in and closed the door behind him.

"Come on, let's have a drink! It's been so long since we last met! Let's catch up! And while we're at it... let me share some survival tips from Running Man!"

Deng Zhe watched as he pulled out two cans of ice-cold beer and a bag of peanuts, his temples throbbing slightly. He knew it!

"Survival tips?" Deng Zhe leaned against the bar. "You've got to be kidding me. Just don't lead me astray!"

"Tsk! What are you saying! Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Deng Chao said with a look of "heartache," as he opened a can of beer and shoved it into Deng Zhe's hand.

He opened another can, clattering it against the glass. "I'm just worried about you! I'm afraid you'll be nervous and uncomfortable on such a big variety show for the first time!"

Deng Zhe obediently took a swig of ice-cold beer: "Thank you so much, I'm fine."

Deng Chao grabbed a handful of peanuts and tossed them into his mouth, chewing them loudly. "Seriously, Zhezi, what's the situation between you and Reba now?"

"I could see it, that girl's eyes when she looked at you were both dependent and shy. And you? Don't play dumb with me!"

"Sigh!" Deng Zhe sighed. "You know I have a bunch of messy identities, and getting too close to me might not be a good thing for her."

"Right now, I just want to make sure she's not bullied and that she can walk more steadily. As for the rest, I'll let nature take its course."

Deng Chao was one of the few people who knew part of his identity, so he could only say these things to Deng Chao.

Deng Chao stared at him for a few seconds, then patted him hard on the shoulder and laughed, "Alright! I'm relieved to hear you say that! Let things take their course! You can't rush things like relationships!"

"As for your other accounts... if you really have feelings for her, you'd better tell her at the right time, so she doesn't feel like you've been lying to her all along."

Deng Zhe nodded silently. He had actually been avoiding this question all along.

Having traveled through five years, he used his "photographic memory" cheat and memories from his past life to orchestrate countless schemes behind the scenes, becoming accustomed to hiding his true intentions.

But Dilraba... she's too pure.

How will she react when those "disguises" are revealed one by one? Will the trust between them collapse?

This is the last thing he wants to face.

The two brothers chatted about everyday things, mostly Deng Chao talking and Deng Zhe listening, about their parents' health and their nephew's funny stories.

Deng Chao yawned and got up only after the beer was finished and the peanuts were gone.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm off! Time to recharge, and tomorrow I'll show you how to take the lead!"

After seeing off his energetic cousin, the room finally returned to quiet. Deng Zhe rubbed his temples and tossed the beer can into the trash can. He washed up and lay down on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Deng Chao's words kept replaying in his mind: Dilraba... how should he face her?

The next morning, Deng Zhe's biological clock was very accurate. He had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door.

"Da da da".

The door opened, and a young girl wearing a vest meant for the production crew stood outside, holding a folder and a notebook.

"Good morning, Mr. Deng Zhe. I'm your PD, responsible for coordinating the entire filming process for this season. You can just call me Xiao Chen."

"Hello Xiao Chen, please come in." Deng Zhe stepped aside.

Xiao Chen walked into the room and glanced around. The tidy room made her feel relieved; self-disciplined people are easier to approach.

"Teacher Deng Zhe, are you clear about today's recording process?" Xiao Chen sat down on the sofa.

"Yes, I understand. I've watched it several times." Deng Zhe nodded.

Xiao Chen opened the folder and said, "Okay, then I won't repeat the process. There are a few minor issues I need to confirm."

"First, did you bring a formal suit? You'll need it for the occasion."

Deng Zhe shrugged: "I didn't bring any. I only brought a few sets of casual clothes."

Xiao Chen immediately nodded: "It's alright, our production team has prepared these. I'll have my costume team send over a few outfits for you to choose from later."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Deng Zhe expressed his understanding.

"Hmm," Xiao Chen said, making a mark on the paper. "The second question is, how's your singing? There will be a segment where you sing the theme song today, and we need to make a contingency plan based on your performance."

"Not bad, at least I won't hold everyone back." Deng Zhe was confident in this regard.

"Okay," Xiao Chen wrote again on the paper, "Third question, do you have any taboos? Our production team can avoid them in advance."

"Taboos?" Deng Zhe pursed his lips. "No, I don't have any of those kinds of nonsense."

"Okay, then I have no further questions! Do you have any questions?" Xiao Chen looked up at Deng Zhe.

"That's all, thank you for your hard work!"

Not long after Xiao Chen left, the production crew brought in a clothes rack with more than a dozen formal suits hanging on it.

Deng Zhe tried on several outfits and finally chose a well-tailored dark blue plaid casual suit, paired with a high-quality light gray shirt and simple black lace-up leather shoes.

This outfit is neither too formal nor rigid, yet it fits the formality of the red carpet, further highlighting his tall figure and a calm yet unrestrained temperament.

"Teacher Deng Zhe, this outfit suits you so well! It's like it was tailor-made for you!" The young clothing assistant couldn't help but exclaim.

Deng Zhe looked at himself in the mirror and was fairly satisfied: "Okay, this one will do. Thank you for your help."

After seeing the costume team off, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Dilraba across the room: "Are you up yet? Want to have breakfast together?"

She replied almost instantly: "I'm up. The production crew woke me up. I'm choosing an outfit. Do you want to come help me?"

Deng Zhe didn't reply to the message, but instead knocked on the door across the hall.

The door was opened by the production crew, and Dilraba's shouts could be heard from inside:

"Deng Zhe, come help me take a look! These clothes are all so beautiful, I'm having trouble choosing!"
