Xu Yan woke up at six in the morning and saw the message Zhuo Lu sent half an hour ago.

The two lived very close to each other. Zhuo Lu stayed in a hotel near his teacher's house these days. He said it would be better for the two of them to go alone, otherwise it would be bad if someone took a photo of them. He went there early so Xu Yan could leave later.

The program team set the time at nine o'clock, and getting up at six o'clock was more than enough time. After washing up, Xu Yan got on the treadmill as usual. At nearly seven o'clock, Xiao Yuan came over and stood beside him, nagging as usual: "Hey, Teacher Xu, I've been looking for you for a long time. Why is your phone on mute again? You still have to exercise today! We're going to Green Oxygen soon, you wouldn't have forgotten! I have already made an appointment with the makeup artist, hurry up and take a shower and eat something, otherwise it will be too late. Sister Cheng told you not to be late!"

Xu Yan turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was not yet seven o'clock. He reached out to adjust the speed of the treadmill, the track slowed down, he went from running to brisk walking, and he panted heavily when he spoke, "It's

still in time, I won't put on makeup." "Ah? How can that be! If we go there and use their makeup, we will definitely have to queue up, and people will gossip about us. If we delay time by then, we don't know..."

Xu Yan wiped off a layer of sweat and casually put the towel on the railing of the treadmill, "I mean I won't put on makeup, I'll just show up without makeup."

"Ah?" Xiao Yuan uttered another syllable in a daze.

Xu Yan looked at her and pointed at his face, "Is it still okay?"

The forest in Linjiang is actually in a scenic park, but this kind of mountain park has few tourists and has had a very slow business in recent years. Cooperating with the program group to make a variety show, the revenue brought in after the show is much greater than the loss caused by restricting tourists during the variety show.

The show has been aired for two episodes. Although the forest where they filmed is closed, there are still many fans who come to visit. During the recording of the variety show, the number of tourists is limited to 500 per day, and tickets are hard to come by. When Xu Yan arrived at 8:30, he saw a long queue at the entrance of the park.

The program group had already said hello, and Xu Yan's car could drive in directly. Driving

all the way to the outside of the forest, he saw a camouflage tent with a sign on it that read "Your Green Oxygen Bar". Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When he first debuted, before he met Liang Yisheng, he also recorded a few variety shows. They were not popular variety shows, and they mixed some out-of-date artists and new young actors in a messy way, playing a shameless game.

It was his first time to appear on a star variety show, and the guests were all well-known names in the circle.

Xu Yan took a few deep breaths before getting off the car. In July, the temperature in the south was 37 or 38 degrees, and there should be a lot of mosquitoes in the forest. He only brought two short-sleeved shirts for a week. Now he is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a long white ribbon hanging down from the inside of the shirt. The lower body is black and gray vertical striped suit pants. There is no foundation on his face, and he looks like a fairy.

The temperature inside the tent was obviously much lower than outside. There was a standing air conditioner in the middle. Xu Yan took a breath and looked over to recognize the face.

Zhuo Lu spoke first. He sat on the small sofa next to him and looked at the door with a smile, "Xu Yan is here."

The familiar person successfully made Xu Yan relax a lot. He was generous and bowed slightly to the person inside, "Good morning, seniors. I am Xu Yan. Thank you for your guidance."

Next to Zhuo Lu sat a short-haired woman. She had worked with Zhuo Lu more than once and played Zhuo Lu's mother twice. She was quite familiar with him. She smiled and nodded, giving Zhuo Lu face, "Hello, Liu Jiayi, I have heard of your name. You filmed a movie for Lu Jiahong not long ago, right? He has a sharp eye, you have the ability."

Liu Jiayi is 45 years old this year. This age may not be considered old in the entertainment industry, but many artists who are nearly 50 years old are unwilling to be active in the public eye. In recent years, some variety shows like "brothers and sisters" have become popular, and their generation has been brought up again and has to show their faces. She didn't know Xu Yan at all, and Zhuo Lu just told her these words.

"Senior." Xu Yan was flattered and shook hands with her. "My mother loves watching your and Zhuo Ge's dramas. The TV at home plays them every day."

Liu Jiayi had a good first impression of Xu Yan. He had a clean and good-looking face, and was sensible and polite. She smiled and joked with him, "You don't like watching it?"

Xu Yan also smiled, "Of course I do. My mother likes Zhuo Ge more, and I like you more."

Zhuo Lu was listening beside him, and his mouth curled up, "I heard it."

There was a lot of space in the tent. The director's team was not there. Zhuo Lu said it was almost time to gather, and they were probably setting up the camera in the forest. Zhuo Lu and Liu Jiayi sat on the small sofa here. There was a longer sofa on the other side, with only one person sitting on it, with a hat covering his face.

When Xu Yan just came in, he took off his hat and took a look. It was unknown whether he was not interested or what, but he put his hat back on after looking at it, and did not say anything.

Xu Yan naturally knew that this person was also one of Green Oxygen's regular guests, the singer Hou Kai'an, who was 47 years old this year. He was a little withdrawn, but not weird. In the previous few programs, he basically worked alone in silence. Zhuo Lu often avoided cueing him with the camera, and he still spoke very little.

Not long after sitting down, the director team came back. Xu Yan greeted the director. The director, with a cigarette in his mouth, shook hands with Xu Yan in the smoke, and said some official courtesies like thanking Xu Yan for coming to save the day.

The one who came to replace Xu Yan today was one of the regular new singers, but his re-recording schedule conflicted with his schedule. It was nearly nine o'clock, and no one else came into the tent. The director team showed no signs of getting impatient, and the person who was going to replace Xu Zijin had not yet arrived.

Xu Yan couldn't help but be curious, and asked Zhuo Lu who could replace Xu Zijin. Last time, Zhuo Lu said that it must be a big shot. Zhuo Lu's eyes were also full of interest, "The director team didn't say anything, it's quite mysterious."

"With you, the TV King, here, there must be an Actor to suppress him." Liu Jiayi said casually.

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and the three words Liang Yisheng ran into his mind.

But he knew in his heart that it was impossible, there was more than one Actor, Liang Yisheng, and he was still filming, so he definitely didn't have time to come to record the variety show. One episode of Green Oxygen had to be recorded for a week, and the crew would never agree to it no matter what.

Cameras were set up in the tent, and everyone had a micro-microphone on their collar. The director asked Xu Yan to go out first, as he needed to reshoot his entrance introduction. The people sitting in the room were all regular guests, so Xu Yan was the only one who needed to go through this process.

The director didn't give any lines that needed to be said, and there was no script. Xu Yan walked back in, and Zhuo Lu and Liu Jiayi cooperated, repeating the conversation they had just had. Hou Kaian didn't cover himself with his hat this time, but he didn't say anything either, just nodded.

The few of them chatted idly, and at exactly nine o'clock, Hou Kaian kept raising his arm to look at the watch on his wrist. Zhuo Lu understood his hint and half-jokingly made a request to the director team, "Your mysterious guest is late, which has seriously delayed our progress. It looks like the cabin cannot be completed today. You have to compensate us with ten eggs."

The camera was filming, and the director team was reluctant to refuse. They complained that Zhuo Lu would not let go of any advantage, and finally agreed.

The main sponsor of the program is a common functional drink on the market. There is a small refrigerator in the tent, right next to Xu Yan. Zhuo Lu cued the process, saying that it is easy to be thirsty when the weather is hot, and asked Xu Yan if he could get some drinks from the refrigerator for him. Xu Yan stood up and took a bottle for everyone, then turned around and asked Liu Jiayi and Hou Kaian if they could drink iced drinks, as they both wanted room temperature drinks.

Xu Yan took four bottles of drinks and shared them, leaving one bottle in his hand. With his back to the door, he could hear the sound of the tent curtain being opened, and Liu Jiayi's exaggerated "Wow". Liu

Jiayi said with a smile, "I was wondering who the director team was keeping secret."

At nine o'clock, the sun had reached a height that could shine through the treetops directly into the eyes. When the curtain was opened, the sunlight was falling at Xu Yan's feet. He turned around and suddenly realized that his heart seemed to have not beat for a long time. It had not made a noisy noise like it was now, with an endless thumping sound.

He could almost imagine what this moment would look like when it was broadcast on TV, with the camera focused on him, frozen at a certain moment, any moment, and then later on, there would be a fancy introduction next to him: actor Liang Yisheng.

Liang Yisheng did not introduce himself to everyone, and Xu Yan was still standing in the middle without having time to sit down. Liang Yisheng looked at him and stretched out his hand to him, "Where's my water?"

Xu Yan knew clearly that the camera was shooting at this moment, facing him and Liang Yisheng, and every expression of his should be reasonable and perfect. But his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to react. What should he do? He and Liang Yisheng haven't "broken up" yet, shouldn't she have known that he would come as a flying guest? Or should she have known, and said "You're here" in front of the camera without any surprise, or asked "Is it hot outside?"

Xu Yan felt his nose was sore, and he couldn't open his mouth. It seemed that I hadn't liked him for that long, and I had no experience of secret love. I couldn't pretend perfectly. I just fell in love with him at this moment, and I was at a loss.
