Li Ye's home has three bedrooms and one living room, and the computer room was used as a temporary studio by the production team.

"We've installed cameras in front of the mirror in your bathroom and in your room. When you shower or change clothes, remember to cover yourself with a towel. Of course, we won't release them; they'll remain our internal records."

Wang Fu jokingly reminded him, then, looking at the tightly closed master bedroom door, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you live alone? What I mean is, if you live with your parents and don't need them to leave home so it's convenient for you to appear on camera, we can also offer you some compensation."

As soon as he entered, he saw that the interior of the house was full of life, and there were some items that clearly could not be created by a single person or a young couple living together.

The master bedroom door was kept closed, presumably because Li Ye's parents had moved out for the past few days to film a program.

Ding Yan glanced at Li Ye and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Director Wang, it's not convenient for us here."

"Um?"

Wang Fu was still reluctant to give up, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to appear on camera, we can blur your face, and we can talk about the payment."

Li Ye has recently gained some popularity online, and Wang Fu felt a connection with him, which is why he decided to invite him to participate in the program.

Li Ye's popularity stems from his car accident and negative reviews of his acting skills. How his family views these issues is a good topic.

Ding Yan didn't want to tell Li Ye that his parents had passed away. She was annoyed that she hadn't communicated with the production team beforehand. She was worried that Li Ye would lose control of his emotions, and hesitated, not knowing how to bring it up.

Li Ye said calmly, "My parents are no longer here."

ha?

Upon hearing Li Ye's answer, Wang Fu's heart seemed to skip a beat.

Li Ye is still so young; he never expected this...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..." Wang Fu suddenly started to stammer.

"It's alright, it's all in the past." Li Ye smiled, feeling a little sad, but he decided to let bygones be bygones.

His smile was merely to reassure the other person that they didn't need to feel guilty.

However, to outsiders, this smile appeared broken.

Wang Fu was so devastated that he wanted to slap himself twice.

Even the staff members nearby couldn't help but feel pity when they saw this, and softened their movements.

Two of the women were so aroused that they wanted to protect Wang Fubang and punch him a couple of times.

The topic of offense was brought up, which inevitably changed the atmosphere and disrupted Wang Fu's impromptu plans. He stood up awkwardly.

"Let me check if all the cameras are set up. Once everything is ready, we can start recording."

Ding Yan glanced at Li Ye and then got up and walked towards Wang Fu. She needed to communicate with him to prevent the production team from using this incident for publicity.

At this moment, Li Ye received a message from Liu Chun.

The other person asked him if he had eaten lunch, and when he learned that he hadn't, he said he would arrive in half an hour.

Although the appointed time was in the evening, Li Ye thought about it and didn't stop him, since he was a little unsure of what to do next.

Wang Fu and Ding Yan returned quickly. Wang Fu said, "The cameras are all set up. Put on your microphone, and we'll officially start recording. To ensure a smooth recording, some staff will be staying at your house. Just ignore us. If you plan to go out, you'll need to give the camera crew some preparation time and let them know in advance."

Li Ye nodded, stood up, and held out his hands for the staff to put a microphone on him.

Afterwards, Wang Fu and several staff members retreated to a place out of the camera's view.

Ding Yan still had work to do, so she said goodbye and left when she saw that the program had started recording.

At this moment, there were about ten people in Li Ye's house, but it was very quiet.

The production team installed countless cameras in the house, as well as two cameramen following the crew.

Li Ye has only filmed one short web series and has little experience as an artist; this is also his first variety show appearance.

With no one around to talk to, it's quite difficult for him to ignore the people around him and the camera.

Li Ye thought for a moment, then searched for beginner surfing tutorial videos on his phone and cast them to the TV to watch.

With something to do, he quickly forgot about the production crew and the cameras, and before he knew it, he was comfortably half-lying down on the sofa with his left foot on top of his right.

Watching the beginner tutorial in the video, Li Ye felt that it was very simple and that he could immediately get the hang of it.

"But that's probably just wishful thinking. I'll need to find a coach first, since I'm a complete beginner and have never been involved in board sports before." Li Ye had a very clear self-awareness.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Li Ye's attention was immediately drawn away from the video, only then remembering that he was still recording a program.

"Ono, it's been a long time!"

Li Ye opened the door and saw Liu Chun with a beaming smile, carrying several bags in his hands.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I went to the supermarket and bought some groceries to cook for you."

Li Ye quickly reached out to help Liu Chun share some of the weight, but the latter dodged, indicating that he didn't need help. Li Ye had no choice but to step aside and let him in first.

Two photographers followed them throughout the entire process.

Liu Chun did not ignore the camera, but gave it a gentle smile and nodded to the crew before going to the kitchen.

"I've bought all the seasonings and some extra vegetables. I've put them in the fridge for you. Try cooking for yourself tomorrow. It's very simple. Don't always eat takeout; it's not good for your health."

Liu Chun sorted the vegetables, put some into the refrigerator, and kept talking to himself as he did so.

Li Ye felt something was off; in his memory, he and Liu Chun weren't that close.

However, Liu Chun's intentions were clearly good, and Li Ye did not object, nodding in agreement.

"Let me help you."

"No need, no need. You can just watch from the side and learn something while you're at it."

"Please give me some work to do; I can't just sit here and do nothing."

"Okay, then peel the garlic."

Liu Chun shoved a clove of garlic into Li Ye's hand, glanced casually at the paparazzi, rolled up his short-sleeved shirt to reveal his muscular biceps, and began cooking with great enthusiasm.

After peeling the garlic, Li Ye had nothing to do. As the host, he felt embarrassed to go out and sit and wait for the meal, so he just watched from the sidelines.

It's clear that Liu Chun is quite skilled at cooking; he flips the wok with impressive skill and occasionally gives Li Ye a lesson.

After completing the preliminary preparations, the rice was cooked and the dishes were prepared.

"Here, try some scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Liu Chun served Li Ye some food.

Li Ye took a bite and immediately affirmed, "Delicious, goes well with rice."

The honest reviews were that there was too much sugar in it, making it excessively sweet.

"Try something else."

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

Li Ye still felt something was off; why did it feel like he was the one visiting?

He also has an awkwardness about being treated like a child.

Off-camera, Wang Fu listened to his two female colleagues chattering about things like "these two have such a good relationship," "Liu Chun is taking good care of Li Ye," and "I want to ship them." He raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

At that moment, Liu Chun brought up a topic that no one, including the production team, expected.

"Ono, have you watched our show?"
