Liang Chun had already grown accustomed to every time his good friend mentioned a date, it would always revolve around the three words, "Ye Bufan."

With Ye Bufan successfully participating in "Destiny," Liang Chun couldn't say anything anymore to make Xu Annan give up on Ye Bufan. It felt like she was a wicked stepmother, using every means to stir up discord in the deep bond between her own husband and the orphan left by his ex-wife!

After being immersed in the terrifying thunderclap, Liang Chun couldn't help but shudder. Upon hearing Xu Annan recount the story, Liang Chun suddenly felt that the role of a stepmother wasn't as melodramatic as it seemed.

"Don't you feel like you're in a love triangle?"

Liang Chun was very sincere, his tone was very earnest, saying things like "It's extraordinary for him to choose to leave for my sake," "But I feel like this would be unfair to him," "If he comes back, we have to make Xiao Yu leave." Are you fucking kidding me? Is this really the relationship between a manager and an artist?! Both of you could go act in an 80-episode Korean drama!

Xu Annan had gotten used to his friend's occasional off-topic thinking. Otherwise, he would have thrown a glass of water at him long ago. He emphasized, "I'm really troubled."

Liang Chun was on the verge of roaring, but he restrained himself and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Why don't you just buy a new house and live together, the three of you?"

Xu Anan: "...I just finished paying off my housing loan last month!"

Liang Chun: "Then you can also choose to move out and let Ye Bufan go back to live with Lu Yu."

Xu An Nan frowned, "…Why do I feel so strange?"

The strange feeling persisted until he went to the set to meet Lu Yu. Lu Yu played the role of the female protagonist's younger brother, Mu Sen. At the beginning, Mu Sen did not have many appearances. His main purpose was to make an appearance and show the tragic family situation of the female protagonist, as well as her lively and resilient character. Mu Sen's personality, on the other hand, was completely opposite to his sister's. He was weak, pessimistic, and introverted, more like a little girl. However, this kind of personality was a perfect fit for Lu Yu.

Perhaps due to his natural acting ability, Lu Yu's performance was quite outstanding.

On the way back, Lu Yu excitedly told him, "There's a scene between me and Brother Ye tomorrow."

In the young boy Liang Liang's eyes, there was a mixture of longing and anticipation. Xu An Nan had originally intended to mention what happened the last time Ye Bufan left, in order to make Lu Yu less concerned. Now, it seemed better to keep his mouth shut.

On the internet, there are overwhelming discussions about Ye Bufan. Some are impressed by his acting skills, while others are dissatisfied with his arrogance. For a time, opinions are divided between fans and critics.

Shu Xin, even while in the hospital, never forgets to pay attention to the online rumors and gossip. After Mushu shared their video conversation, most people found the boy's words particularly refreshing, which also led to a slight change in their perception of him. He was confident without being arrogant, had a clear understanding of himself, and showed respect to the author. Looking back at the boy's acting skills and that statement, people felt that it was only natural.

Even online, there has been a polling for "Who can match Ye Bufan's acting skills," with Zhou Zimuo ranking first.

Shu Xin called Han Bai and tearfully recounted her "miserable experience" on the set, evoking Han Bai's sympathy. As a result, he decided to personally accompany Shu Xin to the filming location tomorrow.

And tomorrow, coincidentally there would be a scene between Shu Xin and Ye Bufan.

***命·中·注·定·ACTION***

It is destiny. Action is predetermined.

Mu Sen was sweating profusely in the hospital. His mother, who had been bedridden for years, relied on medication to sustain her health. Yesterday, he realized that the medicine was running out, so he went to the hospital today to buy more. Unexpectedly, his wallet was missing, most likely stolen on the way. He didn't dare to tell his sister, and he didn't know how to explain it to the doctor. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

Chuli'er, who happened to be passing by, was deeply moved by the pitiful expression of the little boy. Unable to resist, she approached him to inquire. After the doctor briefly explained the situation, Chuli'er took out cash from her handbag to pay for the medical expenses. Mu Sen looked at Chuli'er, on the verge of tears, perhaps not expecting someone kind-hearted to actually come to their aid, and forgot to even say thank you.

Chu Lier patted Mu Sen's head and just as she turned around, she discovered Ye Xiao standing silently behind her. His expression was indifferent, and his gaze swept over Mu Sen before settling on her. He lightly parted his thin lips and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Lier was a little startled and couldn't help but clutch her clothes tightly. She reluctantly forced a smile and explained, "This child had his money stolen and urgently needs medicine. I'm helping him by lending him some money."

Musen looked up to see Yexiao, feeling a sense of unease from the latter's cold gaze. With an instinctual awareness of danger, he instinctively hid behind Chu Lier and only poked his head out, saying, "I-I will return it to you."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and assessed Mu Sen from top to bottom. He was dressed in a faded shirt and bleached jeans, looking like a child from a poor family. His face was somewhat refined, but paired with a disgruntled expression, he appeared weak and feeble. And what Ye Xiao disliked the most was precisely weak-willed individuals.

He wickedly curled his lip corner and said, "What should we do if we can't pay it back?"

Mu Sen blinked his eyes, a tear hanging at the corner: "I will...I will repay it."

Ye Xiao went to get the receipt that the doctor had issued. "One thousand and eighty yuan, to be delivered to 29 Xiangyang Road within a week. If not delivered..."

The young man forcefully pushed Chu Lier aside and grabbed Mu Sen's wrist as he attempted to escape. "If it's not delivered, I'll take your life as payment."

He even smiled, as if he were talking about something particularly ordinary. Mu Sen was trembling with fear, and tears finally flowed down his face.

Ye Xiao let go of him, glanced at Chu Lier, and the woman, startled, lowered her pale face and silently followed Ye Xiao as he left.

***Fate · Engraved · Destined · CUT***

"Cut! Shu Xin!" He Ning poked his head out from behind the camera, saying, "What are you acting? Haven't you read the script? Where are your lines? How many times does the director need to say that Chu Lier is a strong-willed woman who can't be easily frightened by Ye Xiao? Lu Yu's acting is better than yours!"

Ye Bufan looked at Shu Xin and noticed that her face turned pale. Without any hesitation, he offered her a harmless smile and quickly noticed her biting her lips.

"Take a break first! Continue in ten minutes! Shu Xin, take a good look at the script!"

Shu Xin headed straight for Han Bo's side, where he was surrounded by onlookers. Today, when Han Bo brought her here, she didn't know how many people on set envied him. Meanwhile, Ye Bufan merely glanced at Han Bo in slight surprise and then focused on his own script.

Shu Xin felt extremely wronged: "Han Bo..."

A man dressed in formal attire touched his chin and looked at a young boy who was drinking water nearby. He said, "I like him."

Shu Xin: "?!?" What!

Han Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled with a meaningful expression, "He's excellent."

Shu Xin: Holy crap!

Ye Bufan felt the bare, piercing gaze of a man and turned back. Thinking that Shu Xin's complaint had provoked the man's dissatisfaction, he responded with a provocative look.

Han Bai: "Delicious!"

Shu Xin: "......" Wanted to curse.
