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

Little H and Little O seem to understand human nature, as if they know that Xiao Chen is the core of this big family, and that he brought them to this paradise.

They surrounded him, wagging their tails excitedly and making cheerful "woof woof" sounds.

Little H cleverly picked up the light-up bone toy.

It trotted over to Xiao Chen's feet, nudged his leg with its head, and its dark eyes were full of anticipation.

Xiao Chen chuckled, bent down to pick up the toy, and tossed it aside.

A beautiful parabola swept across the sky above the yard, and Little H shot off like an arrow.

It caught the toy precisely before it fell, then ran back triumphantly, placed the drool-covered toy in Xiao Chen's hand, and waited for the next game.

In the courtyard, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui sat on bamboo chairs under the eaves, holding hot tea in their hands, with gentle smiles on their faces.

Quietly watching this heartwarming scene.

Dilraba simply sat down on the grass next to Xiao Chen, resting her chin on her hands.

A pair of bright, large eyes stared unblinkingly at Xiao Chen's profile.

Anita Mui took a sip of tea and spoke softly to Leslie Cheung.

"Ah Chen seems more composed since he came back this time."

Leslie Cheung nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, filming on location is tough, but it's also the most demanding."

"Look at him, he's already a Hollywood superstar, but when he comes back here, he's still that big boy who loves to play with puppies."

"This kind of mindset is so rare."

Anita Mui seemed to remember something.

"Oh, right."

She put down her teacup and looked at Xiao Chen, who was playing with the dog.

"Ah Chen, did the production team tell you anything about this episode's guest stars?"

Upon hearing this, even Dilraba perked up her ears.

She immediately leaned closer and asked with a curious look on her face.

"Hey Chen, who's coming this time?"

"Male or female? Is it fun?"

Xiao Chen tossed the toy away again, stood up, patted the grass clippings off his hands, and shook his head with a smile.

"The production team is very tight-lipped; they only said it was two people, and nothing else."

Upon hearing this, Dilraba's lips immediately fell, and she muttered something.

"Ugh, this is boring. Whoever it is, just please don't let it be someone like Teacher Huang."

The girl's complaint, tinged with a touch of innocent charm, made Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung laugh.

Last time, Huang Lei came to the Mushroom House as a guest.

For Dilraba, who is only 16 years old and at an age where she loves to play and have fun, the kind of "life lessons" that could start at any time are simply torture.

From explaining how to start a fire using the principles of physics to gaining insights into the philosophy of life from a cabbage, the little girl was given a whole day of lessons.

My brain is about to shut down.

In the end, he even wanted to give Xiao Chen some guidance.

Just thinking about him gives me a headache.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui didn't have a pleasant expression when they recalled him.

Judging by the timeline, by the time they are recording this episode, the previous episode featuring Huang Lei should have already been released to the audience.

I wonder what the reaction will be online.

Just as everyone was chatting and speculating, the old-fashioned telephone, which looked very vintage and was placed in the corner of the living room, suddenly rang with a clear "ring ring ring".

The sudden sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Our guests have arrived!

The four exchanged a glance and walked to the phone together in unison. Xiao Chen reached out and gently pressed the speakerphone button.

A slight static came from the other end of the phone, followed by a gentle and melodious female voice, soft and sweet like that of someone from the Jiangnan water towns.

"Feed? Is this the Mushroom House?"

"I'd like to... I'd like to order a candied hawthorn, is that alright?"

The voice was very soft, with a hint of hesitation and embarrassment.

Candied hawthorn berries?

Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung were both taken aback.

This is arguably the guest with the simplest and most girlish ordering requirements since the show started airing.

Dilraba stared wide-eyed with curiosity, trying to discern the other person's identity from the voice.

Before they could react, a completely different voice came through the phone.

It was a man's voice, with a strong Northeastern accent, sounding hearty and straightforward.

"Hey girl, why did you only order a candied hawthorn?"

"Can that stuff fill you up?"

"Um... hello to the teachers at Mushroom House!"

"I want braised goose in an iron pot! The kind with glass noodles and pickled cabbage! All you can eat!"

This stark contrast made everyone burst into laughter.

To maintain an air of mystery, the other party hung up the phone decisively without waiting for a reply after stating their order.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Dilraba was completely confused. She tilted her head and tried hard to recall.

"Whose voice is that?"

"It sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it."

Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung were also pondering this, as there are quite a few male celebrities in the entertainment industry with Northeastern accents, and they couldn't quite place them right away.

Only Xiao Chen, upon hearing those two voices, smiled knowingly.

He knew that gentle female voice all too well. It was Ling'er, the one who had accompanied him across Fairy Island and shared countless life-and-death experiences with him.

And that rough Northeastern accent is highly recognizable. Who else could it be but Bai Zhantang, the waiter in "My Own Swordsman"?

However, he didn't say it out loud.

Seeing Dilraba scratching her head in distress, he simply smiled, ruffled her hair, and kept her in suspense.

"We'll know when they get here, won't we?"

……

Meanwhile, at the village entrance.

A van belonging to the production crew slowly came to a stop. The door opened, and Sha Yi and Liu Yifei stepped out of the vehicle one after the other.

Liu Yifei was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Even without makeup, her face was still stunningly beautiful, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.

Sha Yi was dressed casually and carrying a large backpack.

He looked at the muddy country road in front of him and the rolling green hills in the distance, and took a deep breath.

His face showed a complex expression of both anticipation and worry.

"Oh my god, we've finally arrived."

As he spoke, he took Liu Yifei's suitcase from her hands.

"Hey girl, this road is difficult to walk on, let me carry it for you."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Brother Sha."

Both of them had already watched the previous episodes of "Back to Field" and were very familiar with the show's "formula".

If you want to eat, you have to work.

Sha Yi said to Liu Yifei, panting as he pushed two large suitcases.

"Hey sis, let me tell you something: when we get to the Mushroom House, don't bother with any of the dirty or tiring work."

"You and Teacher Xiao Chen acted together before, right? You're good friends."

"You just follow him around in the kitchen, preparing ingredients, washing vegetables, chopping onions, and such. It's an easy job."
