The next morning.

Yang Mi woke up exceptionally early in her hotel suite.

She was wearing the hotel's white bathrobe and excitedly running around in the spacious living room.

One moment she'd be touching the soft wool carpet, the next she'd be leaning against the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling traffic below.

"Gu Heng, Gu Heng! Come quick!"

Gu Heng walked out of the bedroom yawning, his hair disheveled.

"What's all the commotion about so early in the morning?"

"The view from here is amazing!" Yang Mi pointed out the window, her face beaming with excitement. "It's so much better than our shabby little house."

Gu Heng walked to her side and looked down in the direction she was pointing.

Nothing special, just an ordinary city scene.

He reached out and ruffled Yang Mi's hair.

"You're promising. I'll make sure you live in a better place in the future."

"real?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Just then, Gu Heng's phone rang.

It was a call from Lao Li, the production assistant.

"Xiao Gu, are you up yet? You and Xiao Yang don't have any scenes today, but you need to have your makeup done. Be at the costume department by nine o'clock, don't be late."

"Okay, Brother Li, we'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Heng patted Yang Mi's head, who was still looking at the scenery.

"Stop looking, wash up, change your clothes, and get ready for work."

"Okay!"

Yang Mi happily agreed and skipped back to her bedroom.

Half an hour later, the two appeared in the costume department of the film studio, looking refreshed.

The costume department was bustling with activity, people coming and going.

The clothes rack was filled with all kinds of ancient costumes, from armor to cloth clothes, a dazzling array.

A woman in charge of clothing saw them and immediately came to greet them.

"You're the ones playing Yelü Qi and Guo Xiang, right? Come with me."

The two were led to their respective dressing tables.

Yang Mi's costume was a bright red outfit, paired with bangs and a high ponytail, and a cloak with fur trim.

When she changed her clothes and came out of the fitting room, everyone in the costume department looked at her.

Bright eyes and white teeth, her gaze sparkling.

That innocent and carefree yet slightly mischievous charm is exactly like the little Guo Xiang who stepped out of the book.

"Tsk tsk, this girl is really pretty."

The clothing saleswoman couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Yang Mi felt a little embarrassed by the praise, her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Heng next to her.

Gu Heng had also changed his clothes.

His portrayal of Yelü Qi was in a well-tailored Mongolian noble costume: a dark blue robe with a wide belt inlaid with jewels around the waist, and his long hair tied up high, making him appear heroic and upright.

He was already tall and had a composed demeanor, and this outfit made him look even more noble and dignified.

"How is it?" Gu Heng raised an eyebrow at her.

Yang Mi circled around him, pinching her chin and giving a pretentious comment.

"Hmm... He looks presentable, not bad, I guess."

"It just looks a bit old-fashioned."

Gu Heng was amused by her.

Just as the two were joking with each other, the curtain of the dressing room was lifted.

Two people walked in, one after the other.

The man walking in front was handsome and dressed in Yang Guo's signature black outfit.

The woman following behind him was dressed in white, with long hair flowing down her shoulders, and had a cool and refined demeanor.

Huang Xiaoming.

Liu Yifei.

Yang Mi's eyes widened in surprise. Although she knew she would be in the same production crew as them, seeing the male and female leads up close still made her feel inexplicably nervous.

She instinctively grabbed Gu Heng's sleeve, her palms slightly sweaty.

Gu Heng didn't react much.

Just kidding, he's someone who's lived two lives, what kind of big scenes hasn't he seen?

Besides, celebrities are human too, there's nothing to be nervous about.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

He took the initiative to go to meet him.

"Hello, Teacher Huang. Hello, Teacher Liu."

Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei clearly noticed them as well.

"Hello." Huang Xiaoming extended his hand and smiled.

Fortunately, the cult leader at this time hadn't yet become as slick as he would later become.

He seems quite sunny and kind now.

"My name is Gu Heng, and I play Yelü Qi in the play." Gu Heng grasped his hand and then pointed to Yang Mi beside him.

"This is Yang Mi, playing Guo Xiang. We are both newcomers, so please take good care of us in the future."

Yang Mi realized what was happening and quickly bowed.

"Hello, Teacher Huang. Hello, Teacher Liu."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Brother Xiaoming." Huang Xiaoming waved his hand generously. "You two are Yelü Qi and Guo Xiang, huh? Not bad, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, very photogenic."

Liu Yifei nodded to them softly.

Hello.

Her gaze lingered on Yang Mi for a moment, seemingly quite fond of this spirited peer.

Gu Heng thought to himself, "She truly is a fairy sister."

That aura is truly well-deserved.

We exchanged a simple greeting, and that was it; we became acquainted.

Huang Xiaoming glanced at his watch.

"We're about to start filming, so we won't chat much longer. Let's rehearse our lines together another time."

"Okay, Xiaoming, I won't bother you anymore."

Gu Heng pulled the still somewhat bewildered Yang Mi aside politely.

Yang Mi finally breathed a long sigh of relief after leaving the costume department.

She punched Gu Heng in the chest.

"How come you're not nervous at all! Those are Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei!"

"What's there to be nervous about?" Gu Heng said nonchalantly. "We'll be even more famous than them in the future."

"You're bragging!" Yang Mi said, but she was secretly delighted.

The two strolled around the film studio, familiarizing themselves with the surroundings.

Yang Mi is like a curious child, interested in everything.

A moment later, he ran up to an ancient-style city tower, and imitating the female knight, shouted, "Men, follow me!"

A little while later, on the streets of Xiangyang, he picked up a sugar figurine and haggled with the vendor.

Gu Heng followed behind her, watching her laugh and make a fuss.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

The two found a stone step and sat down, with Yang Mi resting her head on his shoulder.

"Gu Heng, do you think we can really become big stars?"

"Yes," Gu Heng replied without the slightest hesitation.

"We'll definitely become incredibly famous in the future."
