Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

Completely unable to understand what Jiang Yue was saying, Liu Zhongze simply let it go in one ear and out the other, pretending he hadn't heard a thing.

However, Jiang Yue kept making small talk, which completely distracted Liu Zhongze from watching the show. After saying goodbye to He Qian and the others, he left the set.

He thought this would get rid of Jiang Yue, but to his surprise, Jiang Yue was still following behind him, like a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't shake off no matter what.

"No, what exactly do you want?"

"No, we're going the same way."

The two seem to have reversed their situations. When Jiang Yue was planning to go to Jiujiang, she avoided Liu Zhongze. Now, Liu Zhongze is wary of Jiang Yue and can't avoid her even if he wants to.

If he speeds up, Jiang Yue will follow closely. When he slows down and looks at the aloof yet curious Jiang Yue, she will say nonchalantly, "On the way, on the way! What's the rush?"

Liu Zhongze, who lived in the 80s, had never encountered anything like this before. The only interpersonal relationships he had ever dealt with were the silent exchanges with Stephen Chow and Tony Leung, and the funeral arrangements he made for his parents when he was young.

At that time, he didn't understand anything, and his parents didn't have any friends or relatives. In the end, it was a few of his parents' colleagues who couldn't bear to see him like that and pooled together some money for Liu Zhongze so that he could barely afford to pay for the funeral.

Recalling those blurry, yet somewhat kind faces, Liu Zhongze felt a warmth in his heart. They were among the few sights that could bring him warmth after his parents passed away.

He and Liu Zhongze in 2025 are two extremes: one never experienced love growing up, while the other was pampered and spoiled from childhood to adulthood.

Liu Zhongze, who has been pampered by his parents for 25 years, is not as responsible as his parents, even though he is shrewd in business.

His parents' business failed and they encountered problems, so Lin Luoying took over from his parents and continued to pamper him.

Despite being nearly disowned by her parents, the daughter of a prominent Beijing socialite remained devoted to Liu Zhongze, whom she had known for 25 years.

Perhaps it's because he can use his words to deal with the clingy Jiang Yue.

Lost in thought, Liu Zhongze unknowingly returned to the entrance of his hotel. Xie Yukai, looking distressed, saw Liu Zhongze as if he had found an outlet for his frustration.

"Liu Zhongze! Can you control your fans? They come knocking on my door first thing in the morning, and when I don't open it, they keep banging until even the front desk has to give them away..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xie Yukai noticed Jiang Yue not far from Liu Zhongze. His agitation instantly transformed into a stiff, slightly affected elegance. He said, "Be careful next time."

Xie Yukai walked past Liu Zhongze, took out his phone, coughed, and asked, "Miss, can I add you on QQ?"

"Want to add me? Ask my best friend."

Xie Yukai looked into the alley but didn't see anyone else.

At this moment, Jiang Yue smiled mischievously and said, "Liu Zhongze."

Liu Zhongze seemed to hear someone talking about him, and then he remembered Xie Yukai saying something about three fans. He peeked into the hotel and saw three familiar figures appear inside.

Xie Yukai, Jiang Yue, and the three women in the hotel all looked at Liu Zhongze.

"Brother Zhongze!" the three female fans shouted in unison, then ran over excitedly.

Liu Zhongze silently took half a step back and said, "Oh, it's you guys, the three from the hospital before."

The chubby girl with glasses, Huang Qing, said, "Brother Zhongze, how could you forget us so quickly? Did you lose your memory, just like you said?"

"Ah Qing, don't talk nonsense. Zhongze looks perfectly fine." The thin girl wearing glasses, Li Dan, took out a notebook and pen and handed them to Liu Zhongze: "Give me your autograph, Zhongze."

The only girl not wearing glasses, Wang Xiaoxiao, complained, "Why does it feel like Brother Zhongze is so distant from us? He wasn't like this before."

Liu Zhongze's attitude towards them was cold, even bordering on bewildered, which only strengthened Jiang Yue's conviction about Liu Zhongze's sexual orientation.

Xie Yukai frowned, feeling a pang of jealousy towards Liu Zhongze. He could tolerate the three average-looking female fans, but what was with this aloof goddess who was being ignored?

Keep in mind that Jiang Yue wasn't wearing any makeup at this moment. Just by standing there, her perfect face was enough to overshadow the popular post-00s and post-05s actresses.

Liu Zhongze scratched the back of his head. He had never had any fans before. After confirming that the three people really liked him, he respectfully signed an autograph for Li Dan, feeling even more anxious than the three fans.

The three looked at Liu Zhongze's autograph and exchanged glances.

Wang Xiaoxiao leaned close to their ears and whispered, "It seems that what my sister-in-law said was right. Brother Zhongze has indeed changed because of what happened last time."

Li Dan glanced at Liu Zhongze and said with a grin, "But I think Brother Zhongze looks even more handsome like this."

"Hehe, I also think that Nakazawa-nii looks better when he's aloof. Although he was very humorous before, many people didn't like him. I really hope to see him become a superstar. Then the three of us will be Nakazawa-nii's fan site admins."

The three female fans were chattering away, and Liu Zhongze felt a little awkward, unsure whether to go in or leave.

Xie Yukai took the opportunity to close the distance between himself and Jiang Yue, only to see that Jiang Yue ruthlessly kept the same distance from him, her aloof temperament perfectly displayed at that moment.

She tilts her head high, her eyes looking down slightly, like a high and mighty empress, whose attention is not given to just anyone.

Xie Yukai was not discouraged. He stood next to Jiang Yue in a seemingly gentlemanly manner, but in reality, he kept staring at Jiang Yue's expression and became more and more pleased with it.

"Brother Zhongze, I watched your short drama. You acted very well. If we weren't already fans of you and your wife, we probably would have thought you were gay."

"Yes, Brother Zhongze, you don't know, my sister-in-law's comment section has been taken over by those men, who even threatened to depose her as the official wife."

"By the way, my sister-in-law said she'll be coming to visit the set too. Does Zhongze know?"

Liu Zhongze tried his best to remain friendly. Although all three girls had been fans of Liu Zhongze for 25 years, after spending time with him twice, Liu Zhongze could sense that these three girls genuinely liked him.

He kept his distance from them and spoke in a lecturing tone: "Words can be dangerous, so it's best not to read them if you can avoid it. After all, we live in the real world."

"Okay, Nakazawa-nii-san," the three replied in unison.

Liu Zhongze instinctively reached for his wallet, then suddenly remembered that people's money is all on their phones these days. He asked, "Do the three of you have a place to stay? If not, I'll get you two rooms."

To Liu Zhongze's surprise, the three female fans all burst into tears at the same time.
