Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

"Come on, Mr. Lin, let's have a drink first." Peng Xiaoran raised her glass and leaned back on the sofa in a very unladylike manner.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu casually raised his wine glass and clinked it with hers.

The hotel was showing Guan Xiaotong's recently popular drama, "One Servant, Two Masters."

Inside the room, Lin Yu and Peng Xiaoran were drinking together.

That's right, the place where the two were eating was Lin Yu's room.

The two had originally planned to go out for a meal, but unfortunately, Lin Yu was no longer the nobody he used to be.

As soon as they got out of the car and ordered their skewers, the owner asked Lin Yu to take a photo with him.

Considering that eating here might cause some other trouble, Lin Yu hurriedly got into the car.

These skewers were ordered and packed up by Peng Xiaoran.

After two rounds of drinks, the two finally slowed down their eating and drinking pace.

"Speaking of which, I've noticed you've been going to quite a few film crews lately. Are you planning to become an actor?" Lin Yu took a bite of his grilled skewer.

He knew very little about Peng Xiaoran's development in his previous life.

All that is known is that she later signed with Fan Haomen's company, and her representative work, "East Palace," was also transferred to her by Boss Fan.

Peng Xiaoran tilted her head: "I don't have that idea for now. Being an actor is too hard."

"That's true." Lin Yu took a bite of the grilled fish tofu and nodded thoughtfully.

"Don't talk about me, what about you? You're really hot now, and it seems like Yu Zheng is trying to win you over?" Peng Xiaoran asked curiously.

What she said was true; Yu Zheng had been subtly and overtly testing his attitude towards Huan Yu these past few days.

Lin Yu waved his hand dismissively and said, "I'm not interested for now."

Yu Zheng's move was similar to poaching someone from another company, but he also knew that he had no chance of getting Lin Yu's management contract from Yuan Meijianxin.

So, his intention was actually quite simple: he wanted to see if he could secure Lin Yu's film and television contracts for the next two years, just to get a share of the profits.

However, this depends on what the artist thinks.

"Why? Didn't you say Yu Zheng is quite talented?" Peng Xiaoran asked, somewhat confused.

Lin Yu chuckled: "He is capable, but he has already had so many hit dramas in a row. In the short term, the various capital firms will not allow him to have another hit drama."

"...I don't quite understand." Peng Xiaoran was a little confused.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Shall we chat about some gossip?" Lin Yu chuckled, subtly changing the subject.

Peng Xiaoran tilted her head: "Gossip? You mean the fact that Yang Mi is keeping you as a mistress?"

"What kind of rumors have they spread?" Lin Yu was genuinely exasperated when he heard this.

Peng Xiaoran took a sip of wine, then rested her elbow on the table and supported her cheek with her palm.

"Hey, do you think Yang Mi is prettier or I am?" Peng Xiaoran smiled charmingly, her peach blossom eyes quietly looking at him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu was stunned, and his hand, which was eating skewers, paused for a moment.

"Truth or lie?" Lin Yu tilted his head, put down the skewers, and looked at Peng Xiaoran.

"How do you tell the truth? And how do you tell a lie?" She asked with an intrigued expression, her eyes blinking, a captivating allure in her dreamy gaze.

Lin Yu chuckled: "The truth is, of course Yang Mi is prettier. As for the lie, it's that you each have your own unique features."

Hearing this, Peng Xiaoran didn't seem hurt at all. Instead, she said somewhat speechlessly, "Are you kidding me? I'm sitting right in front of you, and you're praising another woman?"

"I'm an honest person," Lin Yu said, his expression turning serious.

"Honest? Then let me ask you a question. What do you think of me?" Peng Xiaoran tilted her head, her expression calm.

Lin Yu pursed his lips, not answering, but his pupils shifted, and he just stared at Peng Xiaoran.

Peng Xiaoran was taken aback, but she keenly noticed the invitation in Lin Yu's eyes.

"Whoosh." She stood up abruptly, wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck, and took the initiative to kiss him.

···

As the kiss ended, before Lin Yu could react, those red lips quickly moved to kiss Lin Yu's chest.

Her proactive manner left Lin Yu somewhat bewildered.

Led by Peng Xiaoran, the two made their way to the bedside.

Lin Yu pulled her close, his deep, magnetic voice saying, "I thought I was a hunter."

"If you want to be a hunter... then, my esteemed hunter, may you begin hunting me?" Peng Xiaoran's eyes were hazy, with a barely perceptible smile of triumph.

She had wanted to experience the role of Tang Sanzang back when she was on "The Ferryman," but unfortunately, the competition was fierce at the time.

···

The next day, Lin Yu got up as usual, only to find that Peng Xiaoran had left sometime earlier.

Only a note was left on the bedside table.

"My flight was at dawn, I reckon they're already back at the company by now."

"Your Excellency the Hunter, can you now tell me whether Yang Mi or I am more beautiful?"

Looking at the words on the note, Lin Yu rubbed his forehead.

Although he won the final battle last night.

But as for the process, it has to be said that Peng Xiaoran did an astonishing amount of research.

This battle was not easy for him!

···

Upon arriving at the film set, Lin Yu walked into the dressing room and discovered that Jing Tian had arrived quite early, though she had dark circles under her eyes.

"Uh... good morning?" Lin Yu greeted Jing Tian with a slightly embarrassed expression.

When Jing Tian saw that it was Lin Yu, she nodded to him, then rubbed her temples and asked, "Did you hear anything last night?"

"What's that noise?" Lin Yu asked, a little guilty, as he looked away from her.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it sounded like a mouse was gnawing on something, making crunching noises, and there were also sounds like a cat in heat. I didn't dare get out of bed. This morning I asked my assistant to check my room, but they didn't find any mice."

Jing Tian rubbed her head, clearly quite affected.

"That's probably the cats making noise. It's spring now, so it's normal to have stray cats." Lin Yu gradually became more confident.

Jing Tian nodded thoughtfully: "That's true."

"Come on, Mr. Lin Yu, let me do your makeup..."

The conversation between the two ended with the arrival of the makeup artist.

Lin Yu quietly let out a non-existent sigh of relief.

Filming for "Ban Shu Legend" is underway, but some scripts have already been handed to Lin Yu.

Most of them are web dramas, but all of them feature the male lead!

As a result, Xu Yan's workload increased rapidly in a short period of time, and sometimes Lin Yu could hardly see her when he was off-set.

After all, the initial screening of production teams is also the agent's job!

Fortunately, Yuan Mei Jianxin's management team is quite strong, and the scripts that reach Xu Yan have all been reviewed at least twice.

It greatly reduced her workload.

As of mid-March, filming for "Ban Shu Legend" was still underway.

"…Okay, actors, come touch up your makeup, let's change scenes!" the director said quickly.

Lin Yu and Jing Tian then walked together toward the lounge.

The two were walking when they suddenly heard a commotion!
