The expected rainfall time is 3pm, but the foot of the mountain is still sunny and the sky is blue.

The weather was fine and the mountain was a relatively mature tourist destination. The local tourism bureau had even conducted an inspection in advance, so safety was guaranteed to the greatest extent possible.

We took a break halfway through the climb and reached the top of the mountain in more than two hours. The campsite staff had already set up the camp.

From a distance, one could see people moving around in the camp. Huge cameras and jibs were wrapped in plastic sheets, standing tall and very conspicuous. Staff from various departments of the crew were busy setting up the scene.

"We're finally here..."

When they were approaching the camp, Shen Ci finally couldn't bear it anymore. Panting, he found a large flat rock and sat down on it, rolling his eyes in exhaustion.

One of the grounds staff had good eyesight and immediately brought sports drinks and towels.

Shen Ci thanked him weakly, lifted his sweaty hair to wipe his skin, and was too lazy to twist the bottle cap hard.

Brother Zhang followed over, squeezed out the drink and handed it to Shen Ci, laughing out loud.

"Oh, Cibaoer, you have such a weak body... If you had known this would happen, why did you have to be so stubborn? When you couldn't climb anymore, you could have just given me the backpack. Why did you insist on carrying it yourself? Hahaha..."

The backpack that Brother Zhang carried was huge, enough to hold four of Shen Ci's small backpacks. However, after reaching the summit, he was as relaxed as if nothing had happened. He even regretted that the mountain was too low and he didn't get to climb to his heart's content.

Shen Ci gulped down a few big gulps of drink and gave Brother Zhang a thumbs up weakly: "I give up, is this the world of the strong..."

Brother Zhang laughed out loud, put down his heavy backpack, hummed a song and stroked Shen Ci's scattered hair.

Shen Ci spent a long time tying it carefully in the morning, but his workmanship was so poor that it came apart halfway up the mountain. Now he doesn't even know where the hair tie has gone.

Brother Zhang felt in his trouser pocket and pulled out a simple black hairband.

Shen Ci is always forgetful and rarely brings spare hair ties with him when he goes out. People around him are used to him putting them in his pocket after he ties his hair into small buns.

After stroking his chin and looking at Shen Ci for a long time, Brother Zhang decisively pulled up all of Shen Ci's hair and tied it into a topknot on the top of his head. The curly soft hair jumped up and down like a large aho-mass.

The new hairstyle immediately made Shen Ci feel much cooler, but soon, the hair on the back of his head slowly slipped out of the hair tie and lay droopy on the back of his neck again, producing sticky sweat.

"Wait, I'll go get some hairpins."

Brother Zhang turned around and looked for the makeup artist, who brought back something after a while - a pink bow?

"..." The corner of Shen Ci's mouth twitched. He wouldn't want to wear this thing on his head, right?

Brother Zhang said helplessly, "The makeup artists are all busy, and I met a kind-hearted girl who was working on the set and gave you the one she had on her head. There's nothing we can do about it, Xiaoci, you just have to make do with it."

Shen Ci: "...but I feel like you are laughing wildly."

Brother Zhang almost couldn't hold it back, and he coughed solemnly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

The protest was ineffective, and Shen Ci was forced to wear a pink hairpin and go to the camp with her backpack in disgust.

The big aho-ho hair on his head jumped as he walked, and the girlish bow on the back of his head was too eye-catching. People passing by burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was cheerful.

"Teacher Shen is so cute! But she's such a fool, hahaha..."

"Look at the camera, let's take a picture!"

"I would die of laughter when watching variety shows. His reputation is well deserved."

The photographer even turned on the camera urgently to shoot behind-the-scenes footage and chased after him across most of the camp.

"Is it really that serious..."

Shen Ci was extremely depressed, and thought that he would be great if he was Lu Xiao, who could scare the shit out of people who made fun of him with just a look.

But it was indeed quite cool, with the cool breeze on the top of the mountain blowing on my naked, sweaty neck. If I hadn't been filming, it would have been a pleasant mountain climbing trip.

When we approached the assigned camping site, Lu An was already busy cleaning up there, with three or four staff members helping.

After looking around a few times, he didn't see Yu Yang. Shen Ci put down his backpack and asked casually, only to find out that he didn't follow him up the mountain.

I guess Lu An made this decision because he was afraid of causing more unpleasantness.

Brother Zhang sighed: "I'll have to find a reason to quit later. It's really scary to leave you two around..."

Shen Cishen agreed: "Yes, yes, he even rode on Xiao An's head to teach him a lesson! If only Xiao An had an agent, he could have slapped him directly!"

A great opportunity for advertising has come, and he winks at Lu An: "So, Xiao An, come to our Da Yun Xiao! There are many good-tempered gold medal brokers for you to choose from! The treatment is very good, and there are so many resources!"

Lu An said calmly: "You want to get me to work for Yunxiao? You are saying this as the boss lady of Yunxiao."

Shen Ci: ???

This is a friendly recommendation from a friend, okay?

Brother Zhang laughed and said, "You are right. My boss is a sucker. He throws money around every day just to please his sweetheart. Of course, the boss's wife has to work harder to supplement the family expenses."

"..." Shen Ci's face turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about... I'm going to put on makeup!"

It's bad enough that Brother Zhang talks nonsense all the time, but how come Lu An has also learned to do the same?

Shen Ci muttered a few words in embarrassment, then turned and ran, almost tripping in his panic, causing Brother Zhang to burst out laughing.

He ran to the makeshift dressing tent alone, and Brother Zhang soon followed. He stood by dutifully, watching Shen Ci while trying not to laugh.

"Teacher Shen's face is so red that you can boil an egg on it. What did you do just now?" The makeup artist teased him with a smile. While applying moisturizer to Shen Ci, she secretly poked his delicate and fair skin.

Shen Ci was speechless, and the makeup artist noticed that the skin on the bottom of her hands was getting even hotter. She said with a smile, "I won't ask anymore. Xiao Shen, calm down."

The makeup artist spent nearly an hour to give Shen Ci a basic makeup look, and the more detailed details would have to wait until the afternoon filming.

Soon it was lunch time and the crew stopped working.

It is not easy to deliver meals on the mountain. The crew's lunch boxes are all self-heating food, but most of the actors bring their own meals.

In addition to the high nutritional requirements, ensuring the best condition for filming in the afternoon is also an important reason.

Shen Ci, who was prevented from eating the self-heating hot pot, sat down in the open space outside the dressing room, lowering his head to eat the rice that Brother Zhang brought.

The meal came from a local high-end private restaurant. The tempting aroma made people around tilt their heads, their Adam's apples moved in tacit understanding as they swallowed, but the person concerned sighed.

"Brother Zhang, look at how beautiful this vegetable is, but it can't swim freely in the hot pot." Shen Ci picked up a vegetable and said, "What a pity! I really want to fulfill its life wish."

Brother Zhang was peeling shrimp for him and stuffed it into Shen Ci's mouth in a very cold voice: "Don't dream, eat quickly."

"Hmm..." Shen Ci chewed the shrimp dejectedly and began to imagine the beautiful scenery after the hot pot restaurant opened.

"Eh? Are those tourists? There are quite a lot of people."

"That's not right. Director Min should have arranged to book the entire theater, right?"

"Normally there shouldn't be any tourists. I'll go ask."

“…”

There was a sudden commotion around, and Shen Ci looked up and saw that it seemed that five or six tourists had just climbed up the mountain from another road.

These people were fully and professionally equipped, wearing mountaineering suits and goggles. Shen Ci frowned and stared at one of them who looked vaguely familiar, thinking hard.

It was not until the man took off his glasses that Shen Ci realized it was Special Assistant Min.

No, why is Assistant Min here? !

Just as he was thinking about it, another person climbed up the mountain road, and the rice in Shen Ci's mouth suddenly spurted out, scaring Brother Zhang and the surrounding staff.

Shen Ci coughed and had difficulty raising his eyes. This must be Lu Xiao...

He was wearing the same gray and white mountaineering suit as the whole team, but he was exceptionally tall and straight, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. When he was in a suit and leather shoes, his elegant and restrained temperament was much weaker, and he had a bit more wildness and uninhibitedness, but he was still so handsome that it made people's legs weak.

Not to mention the collar covering his chin and the mountaineering goggles, even if Lu Xiao wore the standard black hood for suspects in Conan, Shen Ci would be able to recognize him instantly.

Why did he come here suddenly... Shen Ci was confused.

The dog food he ate at the foot of the mountain in the morning expired in an instant... Lu Xiao must have installed a wiretap chip in his brain!

Seeing that Shen Ci seemed to have recognized him, Lu Xiao simply stood a few dozen meters away. The corners of his mouth slowly raised up a faint and gentle arc. Although most of his face was blocked by the mountaineering goggles, he was still extremely handsome.

He stretched out his finger and hooked it lightly at Shen Ci. His action was intimate and teasing. Shen Ci understood what he meant instantly.

[Baby, come here by yourself.]

Shen Ci heard many people gasping for breath, and some staff members began to discuss excitedly in low voices.

"Fuck, just looking at his figure and smile, we know he's a handsome guy! Is he trying to flirt with us?..."

"It looks familiar to me, but the face is too blocked to see clearly... Let me think about it."

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li! You are the most beautiful girl in this circle. Is he hooking his finger at you? Do you want to respond?"

"Oh, I really envy beautiful girls. Every time I go to a film crew, there are handsome guys chasing after me!"

“…”

The girls who were surrounding him started to make a fuss. The groundskeeper Xiao Li touched his nose sheepishly and looked at the man shyly, but he was observing and thinking calmly in his heart.

She deliberately sat among a group of ordinary-looking girls, so that she would definitely be the most eye-catching one in the eyes of the man opposite her.

So when he waved and chatted with me, it must be towards me.

It has been a long time since I added new fish to the fish pond, and now the men who are hanging around are also tired of it. Should I accept this man's pursuit...

Seeing that Shen Ci had a dazed look on his face and had no intention of standing up to greet him, Lu Xiao chuckled helplessly and simply walked over to catch the man himself.

"Wow! He's coming over! He's really coming for you." A girl pushed Xiao Li.

Xiao Li blushed slightly: "Oh... maybe they are just here to see the scenery."

While saying this, Xiao Li began to move his feet gently to make it easier for him to stand up later.

After all, you have to give the object of pursuit some sweetness so that he will be unable to stop and pursue you more passionately.

The man got closer and closer, and everyone could see more clearly, but many people were already frowning and muttering.

"...The more I look at him, the more familiar he seems. Who is he?"

Xiao Li had no time to listen to what others were saying. He was busy observing the approaching man, and his eyes gradually showed excitement and a little greed.

The clothes and shoes he wore were all branded, and his whole demeanor was noble and elegant. At first glance, he looked like a nobleman from the upper class.

With a man like this chasing her, what else can she do?

Xiao Li was excited, and immediately began to simulate how to get rid of the backups. Seeing that the man was only five or six steps away from her, Xiao Li quickly stood up and shyly lifted the hair beside her ear.

The tall man passed by her without even noticing her, his eyes fixed on one direction.

Xiao Li froze in place.

She turned around in surprise, only to see him stop in front of Shen Ci, lowering his eyes to look at the boy, his eyes were gentle and doting.

He squatted down and pinched Shen Ci's nose affectionately.

"Baby, why don't you listen?"

Shen Ci immediately wrinkled his nose and tried to get away: "I will listen to you next time! I have makeup on my nose, uncle, please don't pinch it..."

Upon hearing this, some of the onlookers immediately remembered and whispered, "Fuck, I remember! He is Mr. Lu Xiao!"

"Oh, yeah! I was saying he looked so familiar! I've never seen him in casual clothes before, so I didn't immediately associate him with that!"

"Mr. Lu said before that he was pursuing Shen Ci, and he actually came all the way to visit the set. How sweet!"

"If someone pursued me like this, I would have fallen long ago, okay! This food smells so good, woof woof!"

"Calling me 'baby' is too indulgent and too tempting. It's the love that I can never get. Wuwuwu..."

“…”

The girls who had just instigated Xiao Li were now all immersed in the extreme joy of supporting the couple on the spot, and no one paid any attention to her anymore.

Xiao Li stood there alone like a clumsy idiot, her face flushed with embarrassment. As a goddess who was successful in love, this was the first time she was so embarrassed to be ignored.

But she couldn't afford to offend Shen Ci, and she couldn't afford to hook up with Lu Xiao either...

Xiao Li could only endure the humiliation silently, and when no one was paying attention, he sneaked away in shame.

Shen Ci didn't care about eating anymore and took Lu Xiao towards his tent, not wanting to be watched by so many passionate gazes.

"Um?"

As they got a little closer to the small camp, Shen Ci looked closely and saw that Special Assistant Min and other assistants were busy in the open space next to them.

It seems... setting up a new tent.

Looking at the piles that have been driven in, they will definitely be a large mass after being erected, and will be tightly attached to the Shenci tent.

"..." Shen Ci looked at Lu Xiao, whose lips curled up in an innocent and gentle arc.

***

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was about to start raining.

All departments had already prepared for filming, with the coordinator running around with a loud speaker, the crew began the tense final preparations, and the security personnel on duty perked up.

"Okay." The makeup artist finally tousled Shen Ci's hair, indicating that the styling was complete.

Shen Ci finally scanned the script, closed it and handed it to Brother Zhang. He couldn't help but look around, but he didn't see Lu Xiao.

After a midday break, Shen Ci's shock finally subsided, and he was filled with joy at Lu Xiao's sudden arrival.

Lu Xiao said that he had recently finished his current project, so he had all the free time these days and came here specially to accompany Shen Ci.

Shen Ci felt sweet in his heart. The feeling of being cherished by his lover was something he could never get enough of no matter how many times he experienced it.

But as soon as Lu Xiao said hello, he left the dressing room and no one knew where he went.

Shen Ci was a little concerned and asked Brother Zhang.

Brother Zhang smiled and said, "Maybe he went to pay his respects to your father."

Shen Ci: ???

"Why did my uncle go to see my dad?"

Brother Zhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Given Director Min's bad temper, do you think anyone can easily visit the set? Not to mention someone who covets his precious son."

"Do you know how Mr. Lu got past Director Min?" Brother Zhang pretended to be mysterious.

Shen Ci shook his head in confusion.

Brother Zhang pointed in the distance. Shen Ci followed Brother Zhang's finger and looked at the strangely shaped, brand-new, gigantic camera on the set. It looked a little strange, as if he had never seen it on the set before.

Seven or eight stagehands nervously gathered around, pulling up the rain cover, while a few photographers excitedly circled around the machines, muttering to themselves.

Brother Zhang: "The specially customized camera body and lens are not expensive, starting at only NT$6 million."

Shen Ci: “…”

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy that my dad got taken advantage of, or feel sad that my boyfriend's wallet was emptied.
