A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

11:10 a.m.

The cell phone on Chen Ye's bedside table suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.

A hand reached out from under the covers and slapped the phone screen haphazardly, precisely swiping away the alarm.

Chen Ye sat up in bed with his hair in a mess.

Last night, I spent dozens of hours in the recording studio with Lu Han, working on that rap love song until we finally went to bed around 5 a.m.

He only slept for six hours.

Chen Ye yawned and dragged his heavy steps into the restroom.

The cold tap water splashed on my face finally chased away the last bit of drowsiness.

I picked up the phone, and an unread WeChat message popped up on the screen.

The sender was Sun Honglei.

"Ono! Kazuki and I are already at the airport. We'll land in L State around 1 PM. Let's hurry and buy the alcohol!"

Chen Ye raised the corner of his mouth and casually pressed the voice button.

"Brother Honglei, there's plenty of alcohol. Remember to scan the code to give your gift money. Don't come in if it's less than five figures."

Putting his phone in his pocket, Chen Ye pushed open the door to the guest room.

Just as I reached the corner of the corridor, I bumped into Teacher He, who was dressed neatly.

Teacher He held a cup of Americano in his hand, looking very energetic.

"Is Xiao Ye awake?" Teacher He smiled and raised his hand.

Chen Ye stared with bloodshot eyes, his face showing an expression as if he were looking at an alien.

"Teacher He, what time did you wake up?" Chen Ye rubbed his temples. "You don't happen to be hiding some kind of solar charging panel on you, do you?"

"I woke up around eight o'clock." Teacher He chuckled and took a sip of coffee. "As you get older, you need less sleep. There's nothing I can do. Once that time is over, I can't fall back asleep."

"You're not that old," Chen Ye immediately flattered with a smile. "With skin like yours, no one would doubt that you're a male college student."

"You little rascal, you're already trying to sweet-talk me first thing in the morning," Teacher He said, pointing at him with a smile.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes inwardly.

There are so many amazing people in the Chinese entertainment industry. They can stay up all night every day and still maintain their faces. It's like they don't follow basic scientific laws.

At this time, the doors of the other rooms on the fourth floor also opened one after another.

Deng Chao, sporting two huge dark circles under his eyes, leaned against the door frame, utterly dejected.

Sun Li seemed to be in good spirits and was urging Deng Chao to change his clothes quickly.

On the other side, Chen He swayed out with his big belly, muttering that he was hungry.

The most tragic case is Lu Han.

Last night, Lu Shao from Beijing, who acted as a ruthless harmony machine, was walking a little unsteadily, clearly drained by the intense chorus.

"Good morning, everyone." Chen Ye waved. "Where are Dengdeng and Xiaohua? I haven't heard a sound from them."

"It's all because you spoil them too much!" Sun Li sighed helplessly. "The two little devils are still huddled in their room unpacking the toys you bought yesterday, and they won't even come downstairs for breakfast."

Chen Ye chuckled.

Using money to get kids to cooperate is the simplest and most efficient method for adults.

A group of people walked toward the elevator, chatting and laughing.

The elevator doors slowly opened on the first floor.

Chen Ye stepped out of the elevator, his gaze sweeping over the kitchen on the first floor.

Chen Ma and Song Ma were standing side by side in front of the kitchen counter, one chopping vegetables and the other tossing the wok.

The two chatted and laughed, their harmonious scene resembling that of long-lost sisters.

Upon seeing this, Sun Li rolled up her sleeves and went over to help without saying a word.

Let's turn our attention to the living room.

Father Chen, Father Song, and the cunning old fox Huang Lei, three grown men, were gathered around a root-carved tea table, each holding a small purple clay cup.

Chen Ye stood there, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Absolutely.

I've completely won over my father-in-law; last night's drinking session really paid off.

Just as everyone was exchanging pleasantries, the villa's gate was pushed open.

Director Wang Zhengyu strode in.

Two unfamiliar faces followed behind him.

The man walking in front was dressed very coolly, with an American-style spiky haircut and a slightly overweight build; he was none other than rapper Alfgeni.

The man walking behind was also slightly overweight with a buzz cut, carrying a guitar case.

Folk singer Ma Di.

Chen Ye's eyes lit up, and he went straight to meet him.

"Maddy!" Chen Ye went up and punched the man with the buzz cut. "Long time no see!"

Ma Di is also a well-known veteran in the industry, and he is already very familiar with Chen Ye, Chen He and other people.

"Ouch!" Maddie exaggeratedly rubbed his shoulder. "How come you're stronger than before?"

Chen Ye looked him up and down, his face full of disgust.

"How did you get so fat, Maddie? What happened to your neck? Has it shrunk back into your chest?"

Madi rolled his eyes and retorted directly.

"This is just happy weight gain, okay! What do you know!" Madi patted his round belly. "It's my creative wellspring!"

Deng Chao, who was sitting on the sofa eating an apple, came over.

"Madi, you're kidding me," Deng Chao grinned slyly. "If you keep eating like this, you'll look like Chen He!"

Just as Chen He was about to go to the refrigerator to find something to eat, he suddenly turned around, his fat face twitching.

"Get lost, old Deng!" Chen He pointed at Deng Chao and cursed, "You can talk about Ma Di if you want, but why are you bringing me into this? I'm all muscle!"

The hall erupted in laughter.

Chen Ye watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused. This bunch of clowns together were even more entertaining than filming a variety show.

But he keenly noticed the fat man with spiky hair standing next to Maddie.

Efferini stood there awkwardly, rubbing his hands together, a forced smile on his lips.

He was surrounded by top-tier celebrities he usually only saw on TV.

Teacher He, Deng Chao, Huang Lei, Chen He, Lu Han, Chen Ye.

As a singer who only works in the rap scene, Aifugeni didn't even know where to put his hands at that moment.

Chen Ye walked over and extended his hand.

"You're Aifugeni, right? A rapper?" Chen Ye's smile was extremely bright. "I've heard your songs, your flow is amazing, and your voice is very distinctive."

Afghanie suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up.

He's a die-hard fan of Chen Ye.

When his idol struck up a conversation with him and praised his rapping skills, Aifugeni's mind went completely blank.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Aifugen immediately bent down, grasping Chen Ye's hands tightly, her tongue slightly tied, "Brother Ye! I'm your biggest fan! I've heard all your songs!"

Chen Ye was taken aback by the guy's enthusiasm.

"Alright, alright, we're all brothers, don't be so polite." Chen Ye pulled his hand away and patted his shoulder.

Chen Ye turned around and clapped his hands at the people in the hall.

"Alright, let's not stand anymore!" Chen Ye pointed to the row of huge sofas in the living room. "Sit down and talk, or people will think we bought standing tickets!"

Upon hearing Chen Ye's complaints, Teacher He and the others laughed and sat down on the sofa.

Chen Ye pulled Madi and the still bewildered Aifugeni to sit down next to him.

Wang Zhengyu cleared his throat and adopted the demeanor of a chief director.

"Let's get down to business." Wang Zhengyu glanced at his watch. "The main force of Chongqing Q has already set off and should arrive in L Prefecture around 3 p.m.

Chen Ye nodded.

Half an hour ago, Song Yuqi sent him a selfie on WeChat while on the bus heading to the airport.

This little girl had no idea what a huge storm was about to hit her.

"Hong Lei and Yi Xing will be here soon too." Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa, tapping his knee with his fingers. "Their flight is at around 1 p.m., so someone needs to pick them up."

Lu Han, who had been yawning in the corner, immediately raised her hand.

"I'll go." Lu Han rubbed her eyes. "It's good to get some fresh air. Staying in this room, I can keep hearing your ear-piercing tune from last night."

Chen Ye laughed and tossed an orange over, which Lu Han caught.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Lu."

Teacher He put down his coffee cup, his expression turning serious.

"I have progress on my end too." Teacher He pointed to his phone screen. "The top-notch proposal setup team I found just messaged me. The equipment and floral arrangements are almost here."

Teacher He turned to look at Wang Zhengyu.

"Old Wang, could you contact the person in charge of the cruise terminal later and tell them not to stop them and to let them through directly?"

Teacher He stood up and straightened his clothes.

"After we finish eating, I'll go over and keep an eye on it myself. This kind of delicate work needs someone you know to be watching over it to get the best results."

Wang Zhengyu gave an OK sign.

"No problem, I'll call them right away."

Chen Ye frowned.

"Teacher He, they just landed, and we're not even showing our faces before sending them straight to work on the field. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Teacher He smiled and waved his hand.

"Am I the kind of person who doesn't understand things?" Teacher He pointed at Chen Ye. "They are professionals. They said they were pressed for time and wouldn't exchange pleasantries. They'll naturally meet up when we get to the venue."

Deng Chao sat up straight at this moment, his playful smile disappearing.

"I've got all the fireworks sorted out here!" Deng Chao patted his chest confidently. "The highest-spec fireworks we could get in the entire L Prefecture. Now all that's left is to set up the fireworks display along the riverbank!"

Deng Chao rubbed his cheeks.

"Brothers, today's going to be a tough battle!"

Chen Ye's gaze was firm.

"I've already discussed the large-screen projection solution with the person in charge. During the proposal, all the LED screens on the CBD buildings on both sides of the riverbank will be switched off on time and replaced with the same text and images!"

"The money's already been poured in, let's push this to the absolute limit today!"

Wang Zhengyu rubbed his hands together, his face full of smugness.

"I've arranged all the outfits! Formal wear. After today, let's see which fandom's fans dare to accuse me of being heartless!"

Laughter immediately erupted in the hall.

Everyone's nerves were on edge, their faces filled with barely concealed fervor and excitement.

Any one of these people could be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

Now they're actually gathered in this villa in the northwest, arguing over every little detail of the marriage proposal like village committee aunties.

Sitting on the very edge of the sofa, Efferini's mind was completely a boiling pot of mush.

He pinched his thigh hard, using the stinging sensation to confirm whether he was daydreaming or not.

Fireworks? Large-screen projection? Haute couture formal wear? Top-tier private setup team?

Is this really a variety show recording set?!

Aifugeni turned his head and glanced at Maddie beside him, only to find that this big shot in the folk music scene, who was usually so arrogant, was also staring blankly with his mouth agape.

What did he just hear?

Sun Honglei and Zhang Yixing from the Go Fighting! team will arrive immediately, and the entire Running Man team is already on their way.

Teacher He personally went down to supervise the construction, and Deng Chao personally took charge of setting up the fireworks.

What is Chen Ye trying to do?

It wasn't until Wang Zhengyu kindly leaned close to him and Ma Di's ears and whispered in a very low voice, "Xiao Ye is going to propose to Song Yuqi tonight," that things changed.

Aifugeni's already small eyes widened instantly.

I'm so excited!

Is his idol, the top male celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, going to drop a devastating bomb during tonight's TV show recording?!

Ivory's breathing became extremely rapid.

This isn't a trip to catch up on schedules or record shows; it's as if they've been chosen by heaven to witness the history of the Chinese entertainment industry!

Even if Lao Wang makes him serve dishes and wash dishes on site tonight, he will absolutely stick to the front line of this proposal of the century!

Just as the atmosphere in the hall reached its climax.

From the kitchen, Sun Li came out carrying a large bowl of steaming pork rib soup.

"Stop talking! Stop talking! Go wash your hands and eat!"

Sun Li slammed the soup onto the table and deftly untied her apron.

"After we finish this meal, let's go and tear a hole in the entertainment industry!"

Sun Li turned and walked towards the stairs.

"I'm going upstairs to call those two little devils. You two hurry up and come to the table!"

Everyone in the hall jumped up instantly.

Chen Ye strode towards the restroom.

The real madness is about to begin.
