Holding the cup that proved his courage, the little warrior excitedly ran straight towards Ye Chu. His running was quite loud, startling Ye Chu. She instinctively glanced in Gu Yu's direction, and seeing that the other was still resting with his eyes closed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I got it!" The little warrior was completely unaware that he had just escaped a great danger. He held the ivory-white water cup in his two small, fair hands and handed it to Ye Chu with great care.
“Mr. Warrior, you did a great job.” Ye Chu patted the other’s head and handed the cup back to him. “I think you need to keep this cup for now and hand it over to that mysterious person in two hours.”
The little warrior promised, "I will!"
As he spoke, he carefully clutched the cup to his chest and blended into the crowd. He looked wary, as if afraid his precious cup would be snatched away. Seeing this, one or two staff members found it amusing and went over to tease him: "Little boy, your cup is so cute! Is it yours?"
The little warrior straightened his back nervously. The cup didn't belong to him: "This cup isn't mine. It's... a cup I got from the Great Demon King to prove I'm very brave."
"Wow!" Seeing his serious answer, the staff members were in high spirits: "So you're the hero who got the Great Demon King's cup! That's amazing! But the cup still belongs to the Great Demon King, right? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to take someone else's things like this?"
"I, I..." The little warrior was a little at a loss. Although he got the cup and it could prove his courage, the cup belonged to the Great Demon King. Did that mean he had become a thief?
The thought of going from a warrior to a thief made Alix blush, and tears streamed down her face: "I, I'm not a thief, I just, I just... Waaah!"
The staff members didn't expect things to turn out this way. They just wanted to tease the child and didn't mean to make him cry. They hurriedly surrounded him to explain and apologize.
But little Alix couldn't hear what they were saying anymore. He only felt that he was a bad child. His mother had said that bad children wouldn't receive gifts from Santa Claus at Christmas because bad children weren't liked by others.
This escalated quite a bit, and Ye Chu rushed over. She took the cup from Alix's hand and put it aside, saying to the staff, "I'm sorry for the trouble. Just keep working normally, and I'll explain things to the child."
"No, no, no." Several staff members were somewhat embarrassed: "It was our fault. We didn't handle things properly and made the child sad."
"What's wrong?" Gu Yu's head was still throbbing, but the commotion was quite loud and caught his attention.
Oh no! Ye Chu felt her heart almost stop beating. She didn't dare to look up at anyone, so she quickly pulled up Alix, who was standing next to her and thought she had been discovered because of the big boss's approach, and pretended to be a panicked staff member.
"Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry. My child just fell down and started crying. I'm very sorry for disturbing your rest. I'm really sorry." Ye Chu deliberately lowered her voice to avoid being discovered.
"It's alright. Since you fell, let's take a look at the child so they don't get hurt." Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, concealing a hint of understanding in his eyes, and said naturally.
Yes, yes.
call--
After comforting Alix and explaining the situation, Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Gu Yu return to the stage to record the show.
Luckily, they weren't discovered.
"That kid!" Wang Zhongbao slapped his thigh, gritting his teeth.
The other people around him who were also watching the filming were a little puzzled by his overreaction.
"Director Wang, is there a problem?" the assistant director asked.
"It's nothing, it's fine." Wang Zhongbao waved his hand dismissively, thinking to himself, what difference would it make if I told you? Knowing how well he knew the Gu family's son, this guy had definitely already discovered Ye Chu, and sensed her hidden intentions, yet he chose to cooperate with Ye Chu first…
Wang Zhongbao couldn't help but sigh. Just as he himself had said, it seemed this kid had really fallen for it. In that case, Wang Zhongbao's mind raced, and he came up with a brilliant idea.
The tasks, some difficult and some easy, were held every two hours, and thankfully, Ye Chu and Alix both completed them without major incident. However, for some reason, a bad premonition gradually rose in Ye Chu's heart.
Sure enough, her premonition came true.
Little Alix leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The mysterious person said this is the final mission, and you need to go and ask for autographs and photos as a fan." Then, little Alix asked curiously, "What does 'fan' mean?"
“Uh…” Ye Chu thought for a moment and gave an example: “Look, doesn’t the Great Demon King have a lot of subordinates? They will help the Great Demon King do a lot of things, and they admire the Great Demon King, think he is very powerful, and are willing to follow the Great Demon King forever. These are called fans.”
Alix nodded, understanding. The young lady was to disguise herself as one of the big demon king's minions!
The interview on stage had come to an end. The host gave a polite closing remark, and Gu Yu nodded, officially concluding the interview.
Ye Chu helped put the teleprompter back in the props area, then turned around and quickly spotted Gu Yu standing out in the crowd. He was signing autographs for several staff members and fans surrounding him, answering their questions as he wrote.
"Phew—" Ye Chu exhaled a breath of stale air, took the paper and pen she had asked for, and walked towards Gu Yu: "Actor Gu! Could you please sign this for me? I'm a big fan of yours."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu subtly raised an eyebrow, but remained outwardly calm: "Of course." With that, he took the paper and pen and signed his name in a bold, elegant handwriting: Gu Yu.
"Thank you. May I take a photo with you while we're at it?" Ye Chu asked hesitantly, pulling down her hat brim.
"Hmm...okay, I'll make an exception for today." The group photo went smoothly, and seeing that Gu Yu seemed completely unaware of her presence, Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and turned to leave.
"Wait." Gu Yu reached out and grabbed her shoulder, his voice tinged with a hint of doubt reaching Ye Chu's ears: "Ye Chu?"
"!!!" Ye Chu's eyes widened in horror. She had been discovered!
"Why are you dressed like this?" Gu Yu also seemed surprised. "A loyal fan?"
"Ah, no, Mr. Gu... I, I was filming a variety show..."
"Variety show?"
"Yes, my mission today is to infiltrate this place."
"Did I disturb your mission?" Gu Yu asked, feigning annoyance and a hint of apology.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just a failed infiltration mission." Touching her nose, Ye Chu felt her heart bleeding.
"Hmph! Pretend! Keep pretending!" Wang Zhongbao, who was far away in the observation room, slapped his thigh a few more times.
The assistant director gave him a strange look and secretly moved to the side. Director Wang was acting strangely today. Not only was he easily agitated, but he also kept saying inexplicable things. It was safer not to get too close.
Clearly, he wasn't the only one who shared the same idea, and for a moment, a small circle of people around Wang Zhongbao was cleared out.
