He plays Feng Yuxiu, and his girlfriend is a fairy-like beauty.

The next day, Ye Mo slept until he woke up naturally.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Yifei sitting by the window, the sunlight shining on her, making her feel warm and cozy.

I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.

"Awake?" Liu Yifei turned around. "The sun's already high in the sky."

Ye Mo stretched: "It's rare for me to sleep so soundly."

"You're sleeping just as well back home, aren't you?"

"It's different." Ye Mo sat up. "When I sleep in China, I dream of being constantly monitored."

Liu Yifei burst out laughing.

After washing up, the two went out.

Liu Yifei habitually took out a mask from her bag, but before she could put it on, Ye Mo pressed her hand down.

"You don't need to wear it today."

Liu Yifei was taken aback.

"Who would recognize us abroad?" Ye Mo laughed. "Let's go out openly."

Liu Yifei looked at the mask in her hand and suddenly felt a little dazed.

in the country, she is a top celebrity.

If you don't dress warmly when you go out, the airport will be completely jammed.

But here, she's just an ordinary girl.

They can go out without a mask, and hold hands whenever they want.

This feeling... I haven't felt it in a long time.

"Let's go." Liu Yifei stuffed the mask back into her bag and took Ye Mo's arm.

Ye Mo looked down at her and smiled.

The two first went to have an authentic brunch.

Liu Yifei, biting into her toast, narrowed her eyes into slits: "It's been so long since I've had such a relaxing meal."

Ye Mo: "Eating a meal in the country is like being a thief; you have to have a private room."

"It's all your fault." Liu Yifei glared at him. "You're even more popular than me now, so I have to avoid you when you go out."

Ye Mo: "Then neither of us can avoid the other today, so we're even."

Liu Yifei laughed and poked him with a piece of toast: "You're such a chatterbox."

……

After finishing their meal, the two went to the largest shopping mall in Los Angeles.

Liu Yifei was enjoying her shopping trip, looking at bags and shoes all the time.

Ye Mo followed slowly behind, carrying large and small bags in his hands.

"Does this look good?" Liu Yifei picked up a scarf and draped it around her neck.

Ye Mo: "It looks good."

"What about this one?"

"It looks good too."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him: "All you ever say is 'it looks good'."

Ye Mo: "Then you ask me, am I supposed to say it's ugly?"

Liu Yifei: "...You're making me angry."

That's what she said, but she still smiled and went to pick out other things.

Ye Mo leaned closer and whispered, "If you like it, buy it. Don't just look."

Liu Yifei: "Not cheap."

"Why are you worrying about money?" Ye Mo said. "The last thing I lack right now is money."

Liu Yifei: "The face of a nouveau riche."

Ye Mo: "Even a nouveau riche is your man."

Liu Yifei blushed and turned her head away, but couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Ye Mo stopped when he reached the jewelry section.

"Come on in." He pulled Liu Yifei inside.

Inside the glass case, there was a necklace with a small star pendant that sparkled under the light.

"Try this," Ye Mo said, asking the clerk to bring it out.

Liu Yifei: "Too expensive."

"It's free to try it."

Liu Yifei couldn't refuse, so she lowered her head and let him put it on her.

In the mirror, the necklace accentuated her collarbone, looking stunning.

Do you like it?

Liu Yifei looked in the mirror, didn't say anything, and softly hummed in agreement.

Ye Mo went straight to the teller: "Wrap it up."

"You..." Liu Yifei said anxiously, "I said I'd give it a try."

"If you like it after trying it on, you can buy it." Ye Mo swiped his card in one smooth motion. "This is nothing."

Liu Yifei touched the necklace around her neck and muttered to herself, "It's so expensive, I have to wear it every day."

"Then wear it every day," Ye Mo said with a smile.

Liu Yifei suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, pick one out for my mom too."

"Absolutely." Ye Mo said seriously, "A gift for my mother-in-law can't be anything less than perfect."

Liu Yifei punched him lightly: "Who's your mother-in-law?"

"It's only a matter of time."

The two then picked out another silk scarf for Liu's mother.

Ye Mo knew exactly what it meant to buy a gift for his mother-in-law.

Act first, then inform later; a well-placed gift is more effective than anything else.

Liu Yifei didn't say it, but she was secretly overjoyed.

……

Domestically, on a film set.

The third day after Ye Mo left.

Assistant director Lao Zhao stood in front of the formation and cleared his throat.

He imitated Ye Mo, holding a megaphone in his hand.

"Comrades!" Old Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, "To succeed, you have to go crazy first!"

Among the hundreds of people below, only a few scattered voices echoed the sentiment.

The sound was so soft it was like a mosquito's buzz.

Old Zhao frowned: "Speak louder!"

"To succeed... first go crazy..."

This is even less fun.

Zhang Yixing shrank back and muttered under his breath, "Director Zhao's slogan sounds like he's reciting a textbook."

Wang Chuanjun: "That drive is missing."

Jin Chen added, "When Director Ye shouted, my legs were shaking, and when Director Zhao shouted, I almost burst out laughing."

Sun Yang suppressed a laugh: "Director Zhao even imitated Director Ye's wide-eyed stare, looking like he hadn't woken up yet."

Old Zhao's face turned green.

He put down the loudspeaker and let out a long sigh.

"I think I understand now." He smiled wryly. "Director Ye's methods aren't something everyone can learn."

Old Zhao is a master at filmmaking.

But when it comes to shouting slogans, it's all about the atmosphere.

When Ye Mo stood there, his eyes widened, and he shouted out a slogan that was truly exhilarating.

Old Zhao standing there, no matter how you look at it, looks like... the host of the company's annual meeting warming up the atmosphere.

It's normal that people don't buy it.

……

That evening, Ye Mo called via video.

When Old Zhao answered the phone, his face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

"Director Ye!" Old Zhao shouted, "You finally called!"

Ye Mo laughed on the other end of the line: "What's wrong, Brother Zhao? Did something happen on set?"

"It's worse to feel like something's happened than nothing has happened," Old Zhao said with a bitter face. "The crew's morale has completely collapsed since you left these past few days."

Ye Mo: "Have you started chanting slogans yet?"

"I shouted!" Old Zhao was even more miserable. "I tried to imitate you, and my voice is hoarse from shouting. These people are like they haven't woken up yet."

Ye Mo laughed: "Don't follow my example, you have your own way."

"I don't have any connections," Old Zhao said. "When I yell on set, Zhang Yixing and the others don't even look up. But when you're not around, these old men think they're invincible."

Ye Mo laughed out loud: "Okay, I understand."

Old Zhao pleaded, "Director Ye, when are you coming back? I still have over ten scenes to film, and I'm just waiting for you to come back. If you don't come back soon, I won't be able to continue as your assistant director."

Ye Mo: "It'll be soon, in the next couple of days. Just hang in there."

Old Zhao sighed, "Then I'll save all the key scenes for you. When you come back, we'll do them all in one go."

"Okay," Ye Mo said. "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhao."

That one call of "Brother Zhao"

Old Zhao's eyes almost welled up with tears.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, just come back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Mo smiled and shook his head.

Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, peeled an orange and held it to his lips.

"Is the assistant director urging you to go back?"

Ye Mo took a bite: "Yeah, so the crew can't do without me."

"Then..." Liu Yifei paused, "Shouldn't we go back too?"

Ye Mo glanced at her: "Didn't we agree to play for two more days?"

"There's a show waiting for you."

Ye Mo reached out and rubbed her head.

"There's no rush these next couple of days," he said. "It's a rare treat to get out of the house, and I haven't had enough time to spend with you yet."

Looking at him, Liu Yifei felt a warm glow in her heart.

"Where to go tomorrow?"

Ye Mo thought for a moment: "I'll take you to the beach. You haven't seen the sea in Los Angeles yet."

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up: "Okay."
