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

Soon it was time for the recording of "Running Man".

The location is in Hangzhou.

When Ye Mo arrived, it was still dark.

The stagehand led him into the dressing room, jogging along the way, the walkie-talkie crackling with dispatching calls.

"Teacher Ye, please get your makeup done first. The opening is at 7:30. The director said the schedule has been reviewed with you."

Ye Mo nodded.

By the way, he read that PDF in the email three times.

The makeup artist, a girl with a ponytail, stared at his face for several seconds before saying, "Your skin looks amazing; you don't need much foundation."

Then I started doing my hair.

Ye Mo closed his eyes and mentally went through the opening sequence again.

Unbeknownst to him, in the adjacent studio, the seven regular MCs were already lined up.

Director Yao Yitian stood behind the monitor, script in hand, a rather unkind smile on his face.

Deng Chao craned his neck to look at the entrance: "Director Yao, who's the guest star today? Why are they hiding so well?"

"You'll know when we get there," Yao Yitian said without saying anything more.

"They didn't even tell us?" Chen He pushed up his glasses. "What level?"

You'll find out soon enough.

Li Chen crossed his arms and said, "It must be a big star. Look at Director Yao's expression—every time he invites a big star, he has this 'you just wait and see' attitude."

Wang Baoqiang warmed up on the side, jumping up and down a couple of times: "Who cares who it is, just don't let me get involved in the name tag ripping game. Last time, Big Black Bull ripped my clothes so badly that they were torn."

Zheng Kai leaned against the wall and yawned: "As long as it's not a woman, it's fine. It's too awkward to tear off name tags with female celebrities. You don't know whether to start or not."

Angelababy rolled her eyes at him: "You weren't embarrassed when you tore at me last time."

"Didn't you come here to tear me apart on your own initiative?"

"Alright, alright." Wang Zulan tiptoed towards the entrance. "They're here, they're here. I can hear footsteps."

All eyes turned to the entrance.

The door opened.

When Ye Mo walked in, the light shone down from above, illuminating his entire figure and making his outline distinct.

He wore a simple black jacket and jeans, and his hair was freshly blown on and slightly tousled.

There was no fancy styling, but the lines of his features were sharper than the lighting.

The studio fell silent for a second.

Then it exploded.

"Feng Yuxiu!" Wang Baoqiang was the first to shout.

His voice was high-pitched and bright, carrying a kind of unbridled excitement that didn't discriminate based on the occasion.

He burst out of the line, grabbed Ye Mo's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Feng Yuxiu! Oh, I've finally met you in person! I've watched your movie three times! That part of yours—'It determines both superiority and inferiority, and life and death'—I've been trying to learn it for so long but I can't get it right!"

Ye Mo was shaken so badly by him that he almost lost his balance, but he couldn't suppress a smile: "Hello, Brother Baoqiang, my name is Ye Mo."

"Oh right, right, Ye Mo, Ye Mo!" Wang Baoqiang was still shaking his hand, showing no intention of letting go. "I was too excited, sorry! But your Feng Yuxiu is really—you don't look like a madman at all! How come you're so handsome?"

Deng Chao called out from behind, "Baoqiang, keep your voice down! It's their first time here, don't shake them apart!"

Wang Baoqiang then let go, scratched the back of his head, and grinned sheepishly: "I was just excited."

Deng Chao walked over and offered his hand.

He was half a head shorter than Ye Mo, but his aura was in no way inferior: "Deng Chao, welcome, welcome. I've seen the role of Feng Yuxiu. Is it a real fight?"

"Really?" Ye Mo shook hands with him.

"Ruthless." Deng Chao turned and glanced at Li Chen. "Big Black Bull, did you hear that? It's real. You'd better watch out for the name tag ripping game today."

Li Chen smiled and came over to shake hands: "Li Chen, go easy on me during the name tag ripping game today."

Ye Mo nodded: "Brother Chen, you're too kind."

Chen He suddenly appeared from the side, holding up his phone and bringing it close to Ye Mo's face: "I'm telling you, I'm going to start a live stream right now—this is Zeng Xian's style now, you'll get used to it."

Then, addressing a non-existent live stream camera, he said, "Dear viewers, today we are honored to have with us the rising star of contemporary martial arts fiction—Mr. Feng Yuxiu!"

"Ye Mo," Ye Mo corrected.

"That's not important, that's not important. The point is—" Chen He straightened his non-existent tie, "Are you planning to tear all seven of us apart today?"

Zheng Kai interjected, "I forfeited when he was tearing off name tags."

Wang Zulan raised her hand: "I also abstain."

Angelababy stood to the side, tilting her head to look Ye Mo up and down, then laughed: "You bunch of people—I was scared away the moment I walked in. Hello, I'm Angelababy."

Ye Mo nodded: "Hello."

Angelababy looked at him, paused for a second, and added, "You're prettier in person than in the movies."

Deng Chao immediately started shouting, "Hey, hey, hey—Baby, watch out—Brother Xiaoming is watching over us at home—"

Angelababy blushed and slapped Deng Chao, saying, "I'm telling the truth! His look in the movie was terrifying."

Amidst the commotion, director Yao Yitian's voice came from behind the monitor: "Ladies and gentlemen—there's more than one guest today."

Everyone was stunned.

"Anything else?" Deng Chao turned to look at the director. "Director Yao, what are you doing? Two guests?"

Yao didn't say anything for a day, but simply raised his chin towards the entrance.

All eyes turned back to the entrance.

This time, it wasn't just one person who came out.

When Liu Yifei walked out of the entrance, the lights shone on her. She wore a white dress and her hair was simply draped over her shoulders. The moment she stood there, the entire studio lit up.

It's not because of the lighting.

It was her face, her features, and her aura.

Fairy Sister.

You can't find a more accurate description than these four words.

"Liu Yifei?!" Deng Chao was the first to react, his voice rising a notch.

"No way—"

"Oh my god—the nation's goddess—"

Angelababy jogged up to him, calling out, "Yifei! What brings you here!"

Liu Yifei smiled, her signature smile where her eyes first curve to the corners of her mouth before closing: "Hello everyone, I'm Liu Yifei."

Zheng Kai clutched his chest and stumbled back two steps: "I can't take it anymore—I'm not recording today—I'm nervous sharing the stage with the 'Fairy Sister'!"

Wang Baoqiang rushed out again.

His excitement was exactly the same as when he saw Ye Mo earlier, even more intense: "Liu Yifei! Teacher Liu Yifei! Oh my, I'm so happy today! A rising martial arts star and a national goddess—Director Yao, you've really gone all out today!"

Wang Zulan looked up at Liu Yifei: "Yifei, you're so tall—I look like a..." when I stand next to you.

"Like a mascot," Chen He continued.

Wang Zulan turned around and glared at him: "Why are you talking so much today?"

I've always been a talkative person.

Deng Chao pushed through the crowd and solemnly extended his hand: "Teacher Liu Yifei, welcome to Running Man. On behalf of all the members of the Running Man team—and the audience across the country—I warmly welcome you."

Liu Yifei shook hands with him, smiled, and said thank you.

Then her gaze began to lightly sweep over everyone present.

From Deng Chao to Li Chen, from Chen He to Zheng Kai, from Wang Zulan to Wang Baoqiang, from Angelababy to—

Ye Mo.

My gaze lingered on him for a moment.

It really only lasted a moment.

It was so short that even the cameras next to it might not be able to capture it.

But in that instant, there was a very subtle light in Liu Yifei's eyes—as if she had seen something that reassured her, and then she quickly looked away.

"And who is this?" she asked, her tone polite and just right.

"Oh—Ye Mo is also today's guest star," Deng Chao introduced. "You know Feng Yuxiu, right? He's the actor who plays him."

Ye Mo took a step forward and nodded slightly.

"Hello, Ye Mo."

His voice was calm, his expression was serious, and his eyes were polite.

He was so polite, just like a newcomer meeting a senior for the first time.

Liu Yifei nodded slightly.

Hello, Liu Yifei.

His voice was even, his expression was serious, and his eyes were polite.

He was so polite, just like a senior colleague meeting a newcomer for the first time.

There's nothing wrong with it.

But with Angelababy standing next to her, something just didn't feel right.

She looked at Ye Mo, then at Liu Yifei, but couldn't come up with a clear answer.

She might be overthinking it.

When the director called for everyone to take their positions, the seven people rearranged their positions.

Ye Mo stood on the far left, and Liu Yifei stood on the far right.

In between were Deng Chao, Li Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Wang Zulan, Wang Baoqiang, and Angelababy.

Deng Chao, standing in the middle, announced the opening remarks: "Dear viewers, welcome to the first season of Zhejiang TV's 'Running Man'! Today we have two guest stars—one is Ye Mo, the rising martial arts star from 'Kung Fu Jungle'—and the other is our forever national goddess, the fairy sister Liu Yifei!"

Everyone applauded.

Ye Mo clapped along.

His eyes were fixed on the camera directly in front of him.

But out of the corner of my eye, the white figure on the far right was also clapping.

They were also looking straight ahead.

The only difference was the rhythm of his clapping.
