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

The group set off in a grand procession.

The paddy field at the entrance of the village was warmed by the sun. It looked calm on the surface, but underneath it was all slippery, thick silt.

Sha Yi took the lead, striding confidently and proudly onto the ridge of the field.

"Smack!"

As soon as he got into the water, this self-proclaimed expert at slacking off stopped laughing.

The mud instantly reached above his knees, and Sha Yi's entire right side of his body suddenly tilted to the side, his hand flailing in the air for a long time, looking just like a large white goose with a broken wing.

"Oh my god! Are there magnets underneath this mud?"

He tried desperately to pull his legs out, but as soon as his left leg came out, his right leg sank even deeper, turning him into a mud sculpture.

The three girls next to them weren't much better off.

Dilraba is only sixteen years old, with delicate skin and tender flesh. She has never seen anything like this before.

As soon as she stepped in, she felt the cool, muddy mud seeping between her toes, which terrified her so much that her face turned pale, and she stood there, too scared to move.

"Brother Chen... I... I can't pull it out!"

Liu Yifei already possessed a cool and ethereal beauty, but now, wearing bulky waterproof pants, she swayed and staggered in the mud, resembling a lily battered by the wind.

Despite being a respected and capable leader with a strong personality, Mui Yim-fong could only smile wryly as she supported the paddy field.

"No way, this place is possessed by a spirit; it eats human legs."

Xiao Chen walked at the very back.

He is nineteen years old now, tall with long legs, and has amazing proportions.

Even in the most unfashionable grass-green overalls, her face, kissed by God, was still so striking that it was impossible to look away.

This face is universally appealing, appealing to both young and old.

Even when doing farm work, he didn't lose his calm and composed demeanor at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen sighed helplessly and took a long stride.

He kept his center of gravity steady, stepping lightly on the thick layer of mud with each step.

"Don't pull it out forcefully, relax it first."

Xiao Chen walked a few steps to Reba, put his arm around her waist, and pinched her ankle precisely with his other hand.

"rise."

He gave a soft shout and exerted force with his wrist.

Dilraba felt a sudden lightness in her body, as if she had been pulled out of the mud by Xiao Chen like a little chick.

She stood on slightly higher ground, her ears instantly turning bright red, and muttered softly, "Thank you, Brother Chen, you scared me to death."

Without delay, Xiao Chen turned around and went to rescue Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was sweating profusely with anxiety when she slipped and was about to fall into the mud.

If you really fall, you'll become a "mud beauty".

With quick reflexes, Xiao Chen scooped up her back with his right arm and lifted her waist with his left.

Due to inertia, almost half of Liu Yifei's body leaned into Xiao Chen's arms.

At that moment, the two were extremely close.

The fresh scent of grass and sunshine emanating from Xiao Chen wafted into my nostrils.

Liu Yifei could even feel the warmth of the other person's chest through the thin clothes.

Her heart skipped a beat, her cheeks burned, and her eyes darted around as she struggled to stand up straight.

"Um... thank you, Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen released his grip, his expression as composed as ever, even carrying a hint of an elder's admonition.

"Be careful, there are a lot of weeds here, it's easy to trip over them."

His open and honest demeanor made Liu Yifei feel somewhat awkward about her earlier excitement.

On the other side, Leslie Cheung was struggling to pull Anita Mui.

Anita Mui, being a senior figure, regained her balance and then pointed at Sha Yi, laughing heartily.

At this moment, Sha Yi had already been grabbed by the arm by Zhang Guorong, and the two of them were sawing each other in the mud.

"Brother Rong! Pull me! Hey! Be gentle! My pants are going to fall down!"

Sha Yi shouted and yelled, his facial expressions were so varied they could be edited into memes.

"Xiao Chen, you heartless bastard! You're only concerned with saving the beauty, don't you care whether your brother lives or dies?!"

Xiao Chen stood in the mud, smiling slightly. His smile was so dazzling in the sunlight that it was almost mesmerizing.

"Brother Sha, you have a solid foundation, it's good for you to calm down in the mud."

Although he joked about it, he quickly went over to lend a hand.

Once everyone had finally settled down in the mud, the real "battle" began.

Loach is slippery, crayfish is aggressive, and river fish are fast.

Liu Yifei and Dilraba squatted there, but couldn't catch a single one for a long time. Instead, they got splattered with mud all over their faces.

Xiao Chen, however, became the most eye-catching sight in the entire muddy pond.

He bent down and plunged his well-defined fingers into the mud.

One lift, one tap.

A plump loach was wriggling wildly in his hand.

His hands were incredibly steady; the slimy layer of the loach seemed to be nonexistent to him.

"Splash!"

Another one.

Xiao Chen's movements were fluid and fast, dazzling to the eye.

He was like an all-around player with superpowers; even when it was his first time catching loaches, he acted like a seasoned fisherman.

Sha Yi was dumbfounded.

He looked down at his empty little bamboo basket, then at Xiao Chen's half-filled basket.

"No, Chen, this doesn't make sense!"

"Aren't you always on set and in the recording studio? Where did you learn such amazing skills?"

"Is this loach your pet? It tries to burrow into your hand whenever it sees you?"

Xiao Chen kept working and casually replied, "Quick-witted, Brother Sha, don't just stare at me."

At this moment, Xiao Chen had a few glistening beads of sweat on his forehead.

Sunlight shone on his profile, highlighting his straight nose and perfect jawline.

What was most infuriating was that everyone's faces and bodies were covered in patches of yellow mud, making them look extremely disheveled.

He was the only one who was unusually clean, except for a little mud on his hands.

The visual impact of "rising from the mud unsullied" left the staff on site completely stunned.

Behind the monitor, the director exclaimed, "Xiao Chen's looks are so good, even God seems to be biased towards him."

More than an hour later, everyone gradually came ashore.

Sha Yi was so tired he looked like a lapdog. He plopped down on the grass, leaving three muddy marks on his face, which looked quite comical.

"I'm exhausted! Who set this 20-pound quota? I'll beat them to death if they come out here!"

That being said, all the fatigue vanished when everyone saw today's spoils.

Xiao Chen alone contributed twelve jin.

The remaining few people pooled their resources and caught nearly thirty catties of river delicacies.

"Director, make the payment!"

Reba ran over excitedly and started doing the accounting like a housekeeper.

Finally, the group returned home laden with their purchases.

In addition to the few pounds of loach and crayfish he ate himself, he also traded with the production team for a pound of high-quality pork, a large grass carp, a free-range chicken, and a fat duck.

"Extra meal tonight! Brother Chen is cooking himself!"

Dilraba shouted happily.

Just as everyone was teasing each other about their muddy faces and the atmosphere was cheerful.

On the path at the village entrance, a blonde beauty wearing a black motorcycle leather jacket and heavy smoky makeup stood.

She was carrying a small shoulder bag and wearing military boots, and was running towards us with confident strides.

"Shawn! I found you!"

This voice is highly distinctive, with the husky and penetrating quality characteristic of rock singers.

Before anyone could react, the golden shadow swept past Sha Yi, who was at the very front.
