Huayu: This top star doesn't play by the rules.

Squatting outside the props area, Chen Chao unconsciously poked the ground with his fingers, his eyes fixed on the sky-blue Stick King 400 not far away, his eyes revealing a deep longing.

"Stop looking, Director Han has already taken the keys. Even if you stare at them like crazy, you still can't ride it." Ji Ran walked over with two lattes, shoved one of them into Chen Chao's hand, and said with undisguised schadenfreude, "Who told you to show off your stunts on the cobblestones last time?"

"My technique is very good." Chen Chao pursed his lips, took a sip of his latte, felt the temperature was about right, then directly lifted the lid, took a big gulp, and made a satisfying sound.

"Besides, riding motorcycles is a natural talent for us people from Guangdong and Guangxi. I've been riding for so many years and I've never fallen off."

"No matter how good your skills are, you can't escape accidents." Just as Ji Ran was about to continue lecturing, Chen Chao's phone suddenly rang, and the name "Sister Liying" appeared on the screen.

Chen Chao was still figuring out how to deal with Ji Ran's lecture, but when he saw it was Zhao Liying calling, he quickly answered, "Hello, Sister Liying?"

"Ah Chao, I've arrived at the entrance of the ancient town. The driver said the car can't come in, so I have to park outside." Zhao Liying's sweet and friendly voice came from the other end of the phone, along with the sound of suitcase wheels rolling.

"I brought you something delicious. If you want some, come and get me."

"OK, I'll be right there." Just when he was worried about not having a chance to escape Ji Ran's lecturing, Chen Chao agreed without hesitation after hearing Zhao Liying's words.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Chao shoved the coffee cup in his hand into Ji Ran's arms and ran towards the entrance of the ancient town, not giving his agent a chance to speak at all.

Watching Chen Chao's hurried figure disappear into the distance, Ji Ran shook his head helplessly and turned to head to the film crew to discuss Zhao Liying's room situation.

A few minutes later, Chen Chao arrived at the entrance of the ancient town and saw Zhao Liying standing at the door. She was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, and she looked very capable.

Beside Zhao Liying stood her personal assistant, Xiao Lin. Next to them were two large black suitcases and two oversized white plastic bags, the contents of which were unknown.

"Sister Liying, Sister Lin, it's been a long time." Chen Chao jogged over to Zhao Liying's side and greeted her and Xiao Lin with a smile.

His gaze then quickly swept over the two plastic bags, and after seeing what was inside, his heart skipped a beat. "Sister Liying, the delicious food you mentioned, could it be from these two plastic bags on the ground?"

"You're so clever, handsome guy. Thank you for your help." Zhao Liying stood on tiptoe, gently patted Chen Chao's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Sigh~" With a long sigh, although very unwilling, under Zhao Liying's gentle gaze, Chen Chao still obediently picked up the two large bags of coffee.

Although the two large bags of coffee were quite heavy, they posed no challenge whatsoever for Chen Chao, whose physical strength and other abilities were improving day by day.

"Not bad, you've gotten even more handsome in just over a month. Looks like you're doing quite well here." Zhao Liying, each pulling a suitcase, walked beside Chen Chao, looked him up and down, and said with a smile.

"Of course, I've been eating and drinking well with Director Han and Brother Chao every day." Hearing Zhao Liying's words, Chen Chao also smiled and told her about the situation on set.

"Brother Chao and Brother Benyu are really nice, but they love to play pranks, so be careful not to get tricked by them; Brother Zijian is a bit shy and doesn't talk much, but he's very reliable; Brother Huayang is even quieter, but he's an exceptionally good racer..."

"Oh, is that so? But I heard that you and Deng Chao are known as the 'troublemakers' on set, always playing pranks on others." Raising an eyebrow, Zhao Liying looked at Chen Chao, her eyes full of amusement. "Even Director Han often gets a headache from you two."

"We were just joking with everyone, just trying to liven things up." Chen Chao scratched his head a little embarrassedly after Zhao Liying exposed his true intentions.

As they spoke, the three of them entered the courtyard. As soon as they entered, they heard the sound of badminton being hit. The three of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw Deng Chao, who was wearing a tracksuit, playing badminton with Zhang Benyu, who was also wearing a tracksuit.

Upon seeing Chen Chao and Zhao Liying enter, Deng Chao casually placed his racket and shuttlecock on the ground, then jogged over to greet them, saying, "Liying, we've been waiting for you!"

"Brother Chao, it's been a long time!" Zhao Liying smiled and gave Deng Chao a light hug. "You're still as energetic as ever."

"Absolutely!" Deng Chao patted his chest, glanced at Chen Chao who was carrying two large bags of coffee, and then suddenly started complaining, "Liying, you have to keep an eye on your Achao. He's really acting like a tyrant on set now."

"He's always dragging me into pranks on Benyu, Zijian, and Huayang. He almost gave Benyu a heart attack with that fake cockroach he used before. Last time he showed off his motorcycle skills, Director Han banned him from riding motorcycles, and it even prevented me from touching that awesome retro motorcycle!"

"Hey! Brother Chao, how can you turn the tables on me? You were the one who suggested playing a prank on Brother Yu first!" Seeing that Old Deng was starting to abandon all martial ethics, Chen Chao immediately became anxious.

"I was banned from riding motorcycles because I was too good at it, and Director Han was jealous of me! You were banned from riding motorcycles because you didn't have a motorcycle license. Our reasons are completely different, so don't try to drag me into this."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Having his secret exposed, Deng Chao didn't seem bothered and continued his tirade, "You were the one doing stunts on the cobblestones, almost scaring Director Han out of his wits!"

And so, ignoring everyone around them, the two started arguing back and forth. Listening to their conversation, Zhao Liying couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this moment, Zhang Benyu, who had finished packing up his badminton equipment, also came over. After glancing at the bickering "Demon Balls," he turned to greet Zhao Liying, "Hello, Liying, I'm Zhang Benyu."

"Liying, you have to stand up for us! Those two guys are always messing with us." Before Zhao Liying could politely introduce herself in return, Zhang Benyu put on a pitiful look and started complaining.

"Alright, then I'll teach a certain guy a lesson for you guys." Zhao Liying, who really didn't expect this turn of events, was stunned for a moment before nodding and suppressing a laugh, her gaze falling on a certain younger 'Demon Pill'.
