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

Although he is not old, his calm demeanor makes him unforgettable at first glance.

On the other side of the courtyard, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung were busy chatting and laughing.

The two worked together seamlessly, one brewing the tea while the other skillfully placed the toasted bread slices into the bowl filled with milk tea.

The unique sweetness of the roasted milk tea from that port city, mixed with a faint charcoal aroma, is mouthwatering.

What attracted his attention even more was that Xiao Chen was surrounded by Dilraba, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi.

The four young and beautiful girls stared wide-eyed at the spatula in Xiao Chen's hand.

His face was filled with curiosity and admiration.

Tang Yan rested her chin on her hand and sighed softly.

"Xiao Chen is amazing!"

At this moment, Tang Yan's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

His fluid and graceful movements are even more captivating than when he's acting!

Chen Chichi stood at the door, feeling like an intruder, so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

With so many big stars around, how should he, a newcomer, greet them?

Just as he hesitated, Xiao Chen seemed to sense something. He turned his head and immediately saw Chen Chichi standing by the door.

Xiao Chen put down the spatula.

"You're here?"

His voice carried a gentle smile.

"Come in quickly, don't just stand at the door."

Hearing Xiao Chen's greeting, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung also looked up.

When Mei Yanfang saw Chen Chichi, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh my, it's a new guest! Come over here, come over here!"

"Was it you who specifically requested Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

"Our Xiaochen is making it for you!"

Her tone was somewhat teasing, yet also mixed with the affection of an elder for a younger generation.

Leslie Cheung laughed along, patting the chair next to him, gesturing for Chen Hechi to sit down.

"Yes, our Xiao Chen's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is one of a kind."

"The fragrance is so strong it could be smelled for miles around, did it entice you here?"

There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?!

Chen Chichi was startled and instinctively looked into the kitchen.

Sure enough, a huge earthenware pot was placed steadily on the stove, emitting bursts of heat.

His heart skipped a beat, and his expression instantly turned fearful.

Good heavens, that joke actually came true!

Leslie Cheung couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression.

He walked over, gently patted Chen Chichi's shoulder, and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiao Chen's cooking will make sure you eat comfortably."

"As for the price tomorrow..."

He deliberately dragged out the sound, then winked mysteriously.

"Just be ready."

Good guy!

These words did not comfort Chen Chichi at all; on the contrary, they made him even more afraid!

He felt like he was being roasted over a fire, but out of pride, he could only force a smile.

Xiao Chen worked quickly, and soon, plates of fragrant food were served on the table.

Apart from the particularly eye-catching and tempting Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the rest of the dishes were all home-style dishes, yet they were all delicious and visually appealing.

As everyone sat down, Chen Chichi noticed that everyone's gaze was subtly drifting towards the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup in front of him.

After realizing why, he felt extremely regretful.

Why did I suddenly decide to order this dish?

Now we're in a bind, caught in a dilemma.

He felt his face burning, and could only steel himself, pick up his chopsticks, and shakily put a piece of abalone into his mouth.

As soon as it entered his mouth, Chen Chichi's eyes widened.

The rich broth instantly captivates the taste buds, the abalone is bouncy and tender, the sea cucumber is soft and gelatinous, the shark fin is fresh, and the chicken is rich and flavorful—it's a perfect blend.

This tastes like the most delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall he has ever eaten in his life, bar none!

He felt every pore on his body open up, and his regret and anxiety vanished instantly.

He even felt that no matter what happened tomorrow, even if it meant going through fire and water.

As long as I can eat this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it's all worth it!

This is the instinctive reaction of a seasoned foodie.

Chen Chichi ate his meal to his heart's content, and the other guests also praised it highly.

After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard, enjoying the evening breeze, drinking roasted milk tea, and chatting.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Since everyone here is an actor, the conversation naturally turned to acting, and Yang Mi casually started talking about whatever came to mind.

"The Korean wave is so strong lately that it feels like our domestic idol dramas don't have anything that can compete with it anymore."

Tang Yan echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, but there are indeed some Korean dramas that are quite interesting."

Liu Shishi felt somewhat regretful.

"It's a pity, it's not that we don't have anyone to film it, but the films we do film are just not good enough."

Although Dilraba is young, she also expressed her opinion.

"I wish there were idol dramas like the ones starring Xiao Chen, with good plots and well-developed characters."

Her eyes were filled with girlish longing as she looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen listened to their conversation with a faint smile on his lips.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Idol dramas... filming is secondary, the key is the script."

"However, I could write a few for fun."

Upon hearing this, the girls instantly became excited.

"real?!"

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xiao Chen, her face full of anticipation.

Yang Mi was the first to speak excitedly.

"Xiao Chen, if you wrote an idol drama, it would definitely be a hit!"

Tang Yan also asked impatiently.

"Little brother Xiao Chen, what kind of story are you planning to write?"

"Could you reveal even a little bit?"

Xiao Chen just smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything more, keeping everyone in suspense.

Just hearing him say that made the girls feel that the future was full of endless possibilities.

They are even more excited about these unknown idol dramas.

Chen Chichi was also stunned by what he heard.

I thought to myself, Xiao Chen is not only a good actor, but he can also write scripts at will?

This is practically cheating!

The next morning, when the glaring sunlight shone through the window, waking Chen Chichi from his sleep.

He finally understood what the pitying and sympathetic looks they had given him the night before truly meant.

Xiao Chen led everyone into the courtyard and said to Chen Chichi with a smile.

"Brother Chichi, your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall yesterday wasn't for nothing."

"All the ingredients together cost the equivalent of one hundred trees, which means you need to plant one hundred trees in the Mushroom House."

Chen Chichi's smile froze on his face. He looked at the dense saplings and felt a chill run down his spine.

One hundred trees?!

This isn't planting trees, it's practically clearing land!

Yesterday he felt that he had eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and would have no regrets even if he died.

Looking back now, it was incredibly naive.

Xiao Chen looked at Chen Chichi's face, which fell instantly, but he didn't feel any pity. He just smiled and patted Chen Chichi's shoulder.

"It's okay, take your time, plant as many as you can."
