"Do you need me to carry you upstairs?"

"I have some medicinal wine there, left by my relatives in China. It works very well. I know how to apply it."

Shen Lian and others: ...

[What?! The famous director has been possessed? Go ahead and criticize!]

【Holy crap, what's going on?】

Fang Yaming and Chen Chen soon walked up to Bai Yan. Chen Chen looked at Bai Yan with concern, and Bai Yan shook her head at her.

Shen Lian's gaze swept over Bai Yan, finally landing on An. She said softly, "Aoli, we're in class right now. I know you're a student who cares about the show, but you can't abandon the others, okay?"

"Oli?" That's a familiar way of addressing her. Bai Yan's gaze lingered on Shen Lian's face before quickly slipping away.

An lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then also felt that this wasn't good for Bai Yan. "What about you? Do you want to go and rest?"

Bai Yan smiled and shook her head: "Director An, you are my idol, I want to hear you give a lecture."

"I can persevere."

Her eyes smiled like a crescent moon... An's heart pounded, but he suppressed it and said only, "Tell me as soon as you feel unwell."

Looking at the others, he said, "Then let's continue the lesson."

The next lesson was significantly better than the previous one, not in terms of the content... but in An's teaching style. He seemed like a completely different person from his previous reserved demeanor, and he became extremely skilled. Of course, he had the ability to do so.

An hour later, as the course was about to end, someone asked, "Professor An, may I ask you a question?"

An nodded, and the actor then mustered up the courage to ask, "You've never participated in any variety shows before, so why did you choose a variety show on Tomato TV this time? I'm a fan of yours, I've been a fan for a long time, and I don't remember this kind of content ever appearing on your platform."

An glanced at him and then said, "It was indeed a last-minute decision."

“I can tell you the truth, I came to this variety show to find a silhouette, a look in someone’s eyes,” An said. “I’ve already won all the awards, and for the past two years I felt like I’d lost interest in movies and theater, until I saw her…”

"Is it the Muse?" someone asked.

An raised an eyebrow: "You could say that."

"Is it one of us?" someone asked in surprise, their tone revealing undisguised delight.

If any minor actress were to be seen as a source of inspiration by such a renowned director... she would practically rise to the top overnight!

An lowered her eyes slightly: "Watching her perform on stage, I felt that she was like a gem, shining brightly, and it seemed that my life was destined to chase this light... The moment I saw her, I knew it was her, it must be her, the one I had seen countless times in my dreams, so perfect that it was mesmerizing."

Their gazes met, crossing paths.

American...the actress who faded into obscurity?

Almost everyone's eyes were on Chen Lian, including Chen Lian herself.

She smiled slightly and said, "How could any man resist my charm?"

Perhaps what happened on the stairs just now was just a little trick he used to lure her in.

Bai Yan looked at An with sparkling eyes: "Director An, is the shining person you mentioned me?"

[Bai Yan? ? ?]

Why did she suddenly appear?

Her face... is so big!

An's gaze fell on Bai Yan's face, and she nodded solemnly: "It's you."
