Xie Yukai seemed to be provoked by Liu Zhongze's performance, and walked back to his seat on his own, silently reciting his lines.

When everyone thought he was going to give up, he took the initiative to have the staff prepare for filming.

He performed a lot in one go, and his performance was much better than before. Although there were still some shortcomings, it was more than enough for a tokusatsu drama, so He Qian did not call a halt.

Liu Zhongze and the others returned to Xie Yukai's filming location. Xie Yukai also noticed the strange monster suit and his attention shifted back to Liu Zhongze.

"Don't get distracted, your expression is a bit stiff right now."

Liu Zhongze's reminder made Xie Yukai stop. He rolled his eyes and said, "Do you need to teach me?"

Wearing a Gaia suit, Liu Zhongze shrugged. He had been told this many times in the 80s, but it didn't matter to him anymore.

Probably spurred on by Liu Zhongze, the subsequent filming went smoothly. When Xie Yukai and Liu Yifan, dressed in Xuanwu heavy armor, overlapped, the scene was officially completed.

He Qian walked over from the monitor, took out a megaphone, and said to everyone, "All staff, starting tomorrow we will be preparing to go to Haicheng for filming. Everyone should get some rest tonight and try to finish packing by tomorrow so we can head to Haicheng."

"receive."

"OK."

"Don't worry, Sister He."

He Qian whispered to Liu Zhongze and Xie Yukai, "You two don't need to. Just pack your own things."

"Understood." Xie Yukai walked past He Qian, turning back to look at Liu Zhongze as he left.

Liu Zhongze didn't pay any attention. He asked He Qian, "Sister He, shall I come and help tomorrow? I don't have anything else to do anyway."

"Old Li just said you were seen wandering around Hengdian with four or five girls. Is that true?"

Liu Zhongze did not deny it, saying, "Yes, one is my sister, another is my girlfriend, and the remaining three are fans and friends who are close to me."

"Pfft." He Qian covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Liu Zhongze with her crescent-shaped eyes, and said, "Fans and friends, you're so old-fashioned."

Liu Zhongze scratched his head. After helping the crew move their things, he returned to the hotel in the early hours of the morning. He didn't go to sleep immediately but trained for another hour before finally lying down and falling fast asleep.

A soft, rustling sound came from outside, and sunlight shone into my eyes.

Liu Zhongze suddenly opened his eyes and found that the sunlight was reflecting off the hotel windows onto his face. He could only shield his eyes with his arm before slowly sitting up.

After walking to the back and observing the commotion outside, He Qian began preparing her things to leave on her own.

Liu Zhongze quickly washed up, packed all his belongings, and then helped He Qian with her suitcase.

They were busy until midday when the staff members finally emerged from the room, looking listless.

"Isn't your girlfriend still here? Aren't you going to do something about her?"

Liu Zhongze slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about it. He hurriedly headed towards where Lin Luoying and the others were.

He's currently filming and can't leave the set easily, but Lin Luoying and Liu Yiyi came specifically to see him, and he can't just abandon them like that. Yesterday's incident was a good lesson.

The three female fans seemed to have been waiting in the hotel lobby for a long time. When they reached Liu Zhongze's front door, they all smiled brightly and greeted him.

After briefly explaining the situation to the three women, their expressions clearly darkened.

"You can take this opportunity to explore Jiujiang more. If you don't have enough money, just ask me, and I can help you out."

The three women exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave each other a sweet smile.

Huang Qing said, "Brother Zhongze, you've really changed a lot."

Li Dan tugged at Huang Qing's sleeve, trying to smooth things over, saying, "You've grown a lot. You were never this nice to us before. You always said you had to maintain your image. If we hadn't kept bothering you, we would have been driven away by your cold attitude long ago."

"Yeah, I never thought that Nakazawa-nii would one day worry about whether we have enough money. Before, he was always worried that we wouldn't support him enough and that we would embarrass him as his fan."

Looking at the enthusiastic fans in front of him, Liu Zhongze couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He really couldn't understand: Liu Zhongze was so pathetic 25 years ago, so why was everyone around him so nice?

"I'll go talk to Luo Ying and Yi Yi first."

---

As soon as Liu Zhongze saw Liu Yiyi open the door, he guessed that the little girl had definitely not eaten yet; she practically had the words "starving to death" engraved on her forehead.

"Yiyi, don't you have a watch? I'll add you as a friend and transfer you some money. Can you come downstairs to eat by yourself?"

Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed her watch, which displayed a QR code.

This little girl didn't talk to Liu Zhongze much, but she expressed her thoughts through her actions.

Liu Zhongze smiled helplessly, transferred two hundred yuan to Liu Yiyi, and looked at the overjoyed girl, saying, "Those three older sisters downstairs can go with you. If you're too scared to go by yourself, you can ask them. If you go by yourself, send me your location, and we'll come find you after we're done."

Hehehe... Two hundred yuan, does that mean I can make a profit of 196 yuan from that debt collector by buying a box of instant noodles? No, it's 193 yuan. I still need to buy a bottle of soda for myself!

Looking at Liu Yiyi's expression, Liu Zhongze knew that the girl hadn't listened to him. He shook the girl's head and, after she calmed down, repeated what he had just said.

"Stop shaking me, I know, hmph!" The little girl seemed angry, but when she turned her head, the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears.

Watching Liu Yiyi's joyful, skipping figure, Liu Zhongze gave a wry smile and walked into the room.

"Nakazawa..."

"What's wrong?"

When Liu Zhongze turned his head, he realized that Lin Luoying was still sleeping and hadn't looked for him at all; she looked like she was dreaming.

Lin Luoying's eyelashes were very long; Liu Zhongze measured them with his fingers and they were definitely over a centimeter long.

She slept like an adorable kitten, making one feel that even just looking at her filled one with wonderful imagination for the future.

"Nakazawa!" The girl's breathing became rapid, and she squeezed the blanket between her legs, as if she had entered some kind of state.

Liu Zhongze swallowed hard; the girl's breathing sounded like a bewitching whisper in his ear, causing him to suddenly react.

"Nakazawa?"

This time the call was clearer. When Liu Zhongze turned around, he saw Lin Luoying with rosy cheeks and a shy expression. She was frantically tidying up her quilt, turning over the parts that had water stains.

But when she saw a certain part of Liu Zhongze, her gaze gradually moved upwards, fixed on Liu Zhongze's eyes, and she lightly bit her lip.

She said, "Son, you haven't visited your mother in so long..."
