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

He said with a smile.

"Yes, come in, don't be shy."

"You girls are Xiao Chen's good friends."

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui had met with them several times before because of Xiao Chen.

They even spent vacations together.

Therefore, they are not strangers to each other.

Yang Mi and the other two finally relaxed completely.

They carried their suitcases and walked into the courtyard.

But she couldn't help glancing at Xiao Chen a few more times.

Xiao Chen had already walked up to them.

He had a faint smile on his face.

That smile was as warm as sunshine and as gentle as a breeze.

The wind instantly dispelled all their embarrassment and racing hearts.

"Welcome to the Mushroom House."

His voice was deep and magnetic.

These are just a few simple words, yet they possess a magical power to put people at ease.

Looking at Xiao Chen, Yang Mi's anger had long since dissipated.

Only a tiny, insignificant, lingering sense of resentment remained.

She was even a little embarrassed to bring up the matter of slaughtering pigs again.

Xiao Chen seemed to have seen through her thoughts.

He didn't mention the phone call again.

Instead, he simply patted Yang Mi on the shoulder.

"Go."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

"Where to?"

She was a little confused.

Are they going to rest?

Shall we go get something to eat?

Dilraba then leaned over and said with a grin.

"Let's go plant trees!"

"On our show, you have to earn your food through labor!"

Yang Mi's smile froze on her face instantly.

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi were also dumbfounded.

"Plant...plant trees?"

Yang Mi's voice trembled slightly.

"Are we really going to have to work?"

She thought that the so-called labor in exchange for ingredients was just a gimmick by the production team.

After all, they were guests.

We're here to experience life, not to be laborers.

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly at her surprised expression.

He reached out and poked Yang Mi's forehead.

"Otherwise, you think we really invited you here for a vacation?"

He raised an eyebrow and began to explain the general rules of the Mushroom House to the three girls.

"Slaughtering a pig was a joke."

"But here, if you want to eat, you have to work to exchange for food."

"Therefore, you must now go and plant trees."

Yang Mi and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

Actually, when they signed the contract to appear on the show, they were told that they were there to do work.

At that time, they thought that working was just helping to sweep the floor or do some cleaning.

Who would have thought we'd have to go down to the ground and plant trees!

Although the three girls weren't exactly pampered, this was the first time they'd ever heard of working in the fields and planting trees.

They were completely baffled.

I never expected that this show would actually involve real work!

Moreover, it's such hardcore physical labor!

"But...but..."

Yang Mi opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But the words stuck in his throat.

She glanced at Xiao Chen's black vest.

She looked at herself again, at the exquisite dress she was wearing.

How is she supposed to plant trees?

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi also looked troubled.

They are usually taken care of by their families at home, so they only need to focus on their studies and improve their professional skills.

When filming, there is always a dedicated assistant by my side.

When did you do this kind of physical labor?

My biggest fear is that I won't do a good job.

Liu Shishi suddenly realized what was happening.

"Xiao Chen, what about you?"

She looked at Xiao Chen, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Why aren't you going?

Yang Mi and Tang Yan immediately turned their attention to Xiao Chen.

Yes!

Xiao Chen didn't seem to have any intention of doing any work.

He, on the contrary, seemed relaxed and at ease.

Doesn't he have to work?

Anita Mui then smiled and replied.

"Because Xiao Chen has to stay home and prepare lunch for us."

Her tone was gentle.

"There were some leftover ingredients from the last episode."

"Although there isn't much food, it's enough for a simple lunch."

"Moreover, Xiao Chen's cooking is the best in our Mushroom House."

Upon hearing Mei Yanfang's words, Yang Mi and the other two widened their eyes.

Xiao Chen...can cook?

Moreover, it was described by Anita Mui as "a unique skill"?

Before that, they only knew that Xiao Chen was a good actor and a good singer.

I never expected he could cook!

Moreover, judging from Mei Yanfang's words, Xiao Chen's cooking skills are also excellent!

The image of Xiao Chen wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen immediately flashed into the minds of the three.

That scene was simply too tempting.

He exudes the aura of a married man.

They have known Xiao Chen since they were children.

I know him; he never boasts.

Anita Mui's praise must be genuine.

The thought of eating a meal cooked by Xiao Chen himself instantly dissipated most of the three people's resistance to planting trees.

Some were even impatient.

Yang Mi asked in surprise.

"Really?"

"Xiao Chen, you can really cook?"

Xiao Chen nodded, a faint smile on his face.

"certainly."

His voice was deep and pleasant.

"I'm going to show off my skills so you can have a delicious lunch."

"However, the food you ordered probably won't be ready until tonight because we don't have the ingredients."

"You can only redeem it after you've finished planting the trees."

The eyes of Yang Mi and the other two lit up instantly.

In order to eat the food cooked by Xiao Chen himself.

Let alone planting trees.

They'd be happy to clear land even if it meant reclaiming wasteland!

Yang Mi was the first to speak out.

"Then...then let's go plant trees!"

Her tone was firm, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi nodded in agreement.

"We're going right now!"

As they spoke, they couldn't wait to put down their luggage and change their clothes.

All three of them were wearing skirts, so they definitely couldn't work. They needed to change into sportswear.

Seeing their excited expressions, Mei Yanfang couldn't help but laugh.

"These little girls, there's just no way to handle Xiao Chen."

She shook her head gently, her tone filled with helplessness yet also with affection.

Leslie Cheung smiled gently.

"Xiao Chen's charm is something that not everyone can resist."

"Let alone those few, which girl in the whole country could resist the temptation of Xiaochen saying he'd cook them a meal?"

After thinking about it carefully, Anita Mui also agreed.

If she were twenty years younger, she would probably be the same.

Dilraba ran over and hugged Yang Mi's arm.

"Sister Mimi, I'll take you to get the tools!"

As she spoke, she pulled Yang Mi along and walked towards the small warehouse at the back of the yard.

As Yang Mi walked, she glanced back at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was standing in the courtyard, sunlight shining on him.

He smiled slightly, a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Yang Mi's heart started pounding again.

That brat!

Why does she look even better now!

She complained, but secretly she felt very happy.
