The morning mist drifted among the mountaintops, shrouding the Caiyun Mountains in a hazy veil.

A bright spot appeared on the horizon as the sun rose, its rays reflecting off the mist and creating a soft, colorful glow.

As time went by, the mountain mist grew thicker and thicker, falling on the flowers, grasses and trees, and condensing into droplets of dew on the leaves.

A black claw stomped down, shaking the dewdrops from the surrounding flowers and grasses, which then dripped onto the ground.

"Do you really have to travel so early in the morning? It wouldn't make a difference if we were a little later. It's making me... ah... I didn't get any sleep." Bai Ze yawned as he walked along the country road, his eyes still showing signs of drowsiness.

He kept complaining to Xu Hengji on his back, his resentment almost overflowing.

"Woof, woof, woof woof woof woof!" Xu Hengji grumbled in dissatisfaction, patting Bai Ze as if urging him to hurry up.

Bai Ze sighed and reluctantly quickened his pace. Thinking of the beast waiting for him at the village entrance, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

At the entrance of Caiyun Village, a certain Diting dog waited expectantly for its master to arrive, its tail wagging back and forth, looking just like a happy big black dog.

"Hey, Brother Diting, why do I feel like you're even happier than me?" Xu Dashan, standing to the side, looked bewildered. He couldn't understand why this guy was more excited than him, the beast who was waiting for his son.

Di Ting's ears twitched. Hearing Xu Dashan's question, he turned around. Seemingly too happy to share, Di Ting began to talk about his admiration for Mr. Bai Ze.

"Of course I'm happy! That's Mr. Bai Ze! The erudite and knowledgeable Mr. Bai Ze, who knows everything and is versed in the past and present! He's so adorable whether he's eating, sleeping, or even stretching in the morning!"

Hearing this, sweat involuntarily streamed down Xu Dashan's forehead: "Did I...did I hear something incredible? Brother Diting, how do you know what Brother Bai Ze looks like when he sleeps?!"

Di Tingyan, whose face was showing a hint of infatuation, paused for a moment. Only after hearing Xu Dashan's thoughts did he realize that he might have said too much.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Xu Dashan silently backed away, feeling as if he was about to be killed to silence him.

Just as the atmosphere between the two beasts was becoming increasingly tense, Di Ting suddenly paused, looked towards the end of the path at the village entrance, and said with a delighted expression, "Master has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Ting ran out to meet Bai Ze, who had just come into view. It was unclear whether he wanted to see his master as soon as possible or to escape the awkward situation.

From afar, Bai Ze saw Di Ting running towards him, his expression showing disdain. When Di Ting got closer, he said, "Didn't you say you weren't supposed to have any scenes today? What are you doing here?"

Completely disregarding Bai Ze's attitude, Di Ting enthusiastically stepped forward and said, "Of course I've come to see you, sir! We haven't seen each other in so long, sir. I've prepared many gifts for you this time..."

Upon hearing that Di Ting was going to give a gift, Bai Ze's expression softened considerably, but Di Ting's next words caused his face to change drastically again.

"The gifts are all in my RV right now, I'll burn them for you later."

"Can't you just give it to me directly! I'm not dead, you don't need to burn me!" Bai Ze slammed his paw on the ground and roared.

Xu Dashan, who had just run over, was so startled by Bai Ze's outburst that he reflexively stopped in his tracks.

"Woof woof!" Seeing his father arrive, Xu Hengji barked happily twice and then jumped over, leaving Bai Ze behind.

Xu Dashan quickly reached out and caught his son, pulling him into his arms: "Oh my son, let me see how you've been lately? Have you lost weight?"

The scene shifts back to Bai Ze. Ignoring the little fox that jumped off him, he glared at Di Ting and said irritably, "Can't you change this stupid habit? You always do this when you deliver things! And the greeting too, can't you at least give me a heads-up?! Even if you did, I wouldn't let you come."

After rambling on for a while, Bai Ze took a breath and finally concluded, "In short, I don't want to see you. You'd better leave now."

Listening intently to Bai Ze's entire explanation, Di Ting blinked, and the next second he suddenly lay down on the ground, his ear pressed against the ground, muttering, "Earth, oh earth, is Mr. Bai Ze serious?"

Seeing this, Bai Ze's lips twitched violently, and he cursed inwardly: Here we go again, asking the Earth again! I blocked your mind-reading ability and you still went to ask the Earth! And you even asked it in front of me!

At this moment, Di Ting had received the earth's answer. He suddenly realized and stood up: "So, sir, you were just being a little arrogant. Don't worry, I will definitely give you the gifts. I will also find opportunities to visit you often in the future."

Bai Ze raised a paw to his forehead and sighed inwardly: Oh well, once this guy gets involved, there's no easy way to escape.

"Hey, Brother Bai Ze..." A kind voice came from beside him. Bai Ze turned his head and saw Xu Dashan holding Xu Hengji and talking to him: "I'm taking my son to the director's place. It's almost time for our scenes, so we need to do a test shoot. Are you coming?"

Bai Ze was delighted to hear this, but before he could agree, Di Ting spoke up first, saying, "No need, Mr. Bai Ze is coming to my house as a guest. Please tell the director when you go."

Bai Ze, who had originally intended to slip away, froze. He hurriedly tried to deny Di Ting's claim, but before he could speak, he heard Xu Dashan say, seemingly convinced, "Oh, is that so? Then I'll be going." With that, Xu Dashan turned and left.

Watching him walk away, Bai Ze opened his mouth to stop him, but in the end he gave up: Sigh~ Well, Di Ting has gone to such lengths, so for the sake of the gift, let him go.

In a house in Caiyun Village, Puss in Boots and Xiaohang are discussing the casting of a new character. On the table in front of them are two documents with photos of two birds, one blue and one pink, each with only half a body.

"Lovebirds are a symbol of love, and I'm afraid people won't accept these two images." Puss in Boots looked at the two photos of lovebirds on the table and felt something was off. She thought for a moment and decided to look for more.

Puss in Boots turned to a panda standing by the table and asked, "Are there any other candidates?"

Panda is a newly recruited assistant on the set named Bamboo. True to his name, when Puss in Boots and Xiaohang first met him, he was carrying a bamboo pole, and he has never taken it off since, as if they were inseparable.

It's worth mentioning that Bamboo is petite, about the size of a cat. When Bai Jie first met him, he even joked that Puss in Boots looked like a child laborer.

Bamboo stepped forward and handed the folder in his paw to Puss in Boots, saying, "Director, all the remaining information is here."

Puss in Boots took the folder and opened it. She placed several documents on the table. After glancing at them, both Puss in Boots and Xiaohang broke out in a cold sweat.

The images of lovebirds in these documents are all strangely shaped; some have missing a piece on their heads, while others have missing a piece on their lower body but have complete heads.

Seeing these designs that left the beast speechless, Puss in Boots broke out in a cold sweat. She smiled awkwardly and took back the two documents from before, saying, "It's fine then, this pair will do."

Xiaohang, who was also sweating profusely, nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "That's good, that's good."

The new role for You Shouyan was thus finalized, and Zhu Zi put away the documents on the table to inform the pair of lovebirds who had been accepted.

Just then, a knock came at the door.

"Puss in Boots! I brought my son over for a test shoot, are you free?" Xu Dashan called out from outside, knocking on the door with one paw. On his back, Xu Hengji watched his father's actions with curiosity.

With a creak, the door was pulled open, and Zhu Zi stood behind it, saying to Xu Dashan, "The director wants you to come in."

Xu Dashan walked into the house, and Xu Hengji on his body waved his paws and barked twice at Puss in Boots and Xiaohang, seemingly as a greeting.

"Puss in Boots, am I too early?" Xu Dashan scratched his head, feeling a bit lost as he looked at the two beasts who seemed to be discussing something.

Puss in Boots stood up from her chair and walked towards Xu Dashan with a smile, saying, "It's alright, I didn't arrive particularly early. Pippi should be here soon..."

At this point, Puss in Boots paused before asking in confusion, "By the way, where's Bai Ze? Didn't he come?"

Xu Dashan's expression became somewhat subtle. He shook his head and explained, "Brother Bai Ze was taken away by Brother Di Ting."

Upon hearing this, both Puss in Boots and Xiaohang's expressions turned strange. They exchanged a glance and had the same thought in mind: these two seem to have a chance.

"Cough cough cough cough!" Bai Ze, who was inside the Di Ting RV, suddenly coughed violently, which attracted Di Ting's attention.

"What's wrong, Mr. Bai Ze? Are you feeling unwell?" Di Ting patted Bai Ze's back, his expression full of concern.

Di Ting's actions reminded Bai Ze of the scene in Bai Jie's mind back then, and he instantly felt a chill.

"I'm fine, it's just that some information I sensed surprised me." Bai Ze pushed Di Ting away with an extremely unnatural expression. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Are all the beasts in this crew problematic?! It's one thing for Bai Jie to be like this, but how come even the director and producer are like this?!

Faced with Bai Ze's sudden change in attitude, Di Ting was completely bewildered. He wanted to ask his master what had happened, but judging from his master's expression, it seemed that he wouldn't get an answer even if he asked.

"Forget it, let's ask the earth instead."

Thinking this to himself, Di Ting lay down on the ground under Bai Ze's convulsing gaze: "Earth, oh Earth, what's wrong with Mr. Bai Ze?"

Earth: "Some people ship you two as a couple. Some people ship you two as a couple. Some people ship you two as a couple."

"I see." Di Ting's tone revealed his understanding. He got up and looked at Bai Ze, a smile flashing in his eyes as he comforted him, "Don't worry about what others say, Mr. Bai Ze. No matter what, you are the most respected gentleman in my life."

Bai Ze's eyelids twitched. He stared at the smile in Di Ting's eyes and felt a chill run down his spine: Why do I feel like you're actually a little happy?!
