She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Today is Jiang Lai's last visit to Lingyin Studio; her scenes are expected to end after this final recording.

To thank everyone for taking care of her during these recording sessions, Jiang Lai bought cakes and desserts from a bakery at the school and brought them to her.

This was Tang Li's suggestion: "This is something that ordinary people can't buy at our school! It tastes really good! Even graduates come back to ask people to buy it for them!"

Giving other gifts would be too distant and formal, while giving afternoon tea snacks would be more in line with workplace social etiquette.

Tang Li is definitely the authority on food in 306. Jiang Lai took her advice and ordered enough for everyone in the studio from the bakery. She also made a portion for herself. Surprisingly, it turned out pretty good—not to mention the taste, at least it looked good.

However, taking the subway was a bit uncomfortable at this moment, as she had to make sure that the desserts wouldn't get squashed. But it was alright, since it was noon and the subway wasn't too crowded.

When Jiang Lai arrived, it was still early. Some people had gone out for lunch and hadn't returned yet, while others were relaxing and having fun on the first floor.

"Your sister is here?" Old Jian was sitting right in front of the glass door, and greeted her as soon as he saw her.

Because Jiang Lai is the youngest in the entire studio, people generally don't call her by her name; they either call her "sister" or simply "Shaoyin."

"Brother Jian!" Jiang Lai greeted him.

The others also turned from the sofa to greet her, "Your little sister's here? So early today?"

Bai Luxi quickly invited her to sit here!

"get out of class ended early today." Jiang Lai walked over to Bai Luxi's side, answering with a smile, and then put the things on the table. "These are our school's specialty desserts. I bought them especially for everyone to try."

"That's wonderful!!" You Ran sat up straight. "Why did you suddenly buy all this?"

Lanting: "So much!? That must have cost a lot of money!"

"Yeah, why would a student like you buy all this? Our studio offers afternoon tea."

Jiang Lai took out the items one by one, "Since the dubbing is over today, I won't have anything to do anymore, right? I'm so grateful to all the older brothers and sisters for taking care of me these past few times. I don't know how to thank them, so I bought some local specialties from our school. They're not expensive, but they're quite delicious. You should all try them!"

"Alright, let's take advantage of my sister's presence today and see what's different about what the top students eat?" Canghai patted his stomach. "I'm still not full."

Lei Ting looked at him and said, "I understand that women have two stomachs, one for main courses and one for desserts. But how come you also have two stomachs?"

"Want to fight??"

Qinghe picked up a piece of German Black Forest cake and said, "If you two want to fight, go outside and fight."

"This kid is just annoyed because I outshine him in the show."

"Come on, we're both gods, who's more noble than the other!"

Xiaoliu stood up: "How can there be food without drinks! I'll go get some."

"Lemon tea, please!!!" "Yogurt, please! Thank you, Xiaoliu!"

Everyone chatted and laughed together, eating and talking at the same time.

Jiang Lai nudged Bai Luxi quietly, "Sister, I have something for you later, something specially for you! Don't let anyone else know."

Bai Luxi lowered her voice in agreement, "Okay! Got it!"

Watching them, Salted Pear asked, "What are you two doing? Sharing some little secrets?"

"No, no," Bai Luxi replied in her normal voice.

Lanting said, "But I suddenly feel that you and your sister have good chemistry? You might be good at BL (Boys' Love) dramas?"

"Then we can ask if there are any doujinshi like that recently." Salted Pear also became interested. "If it's you two, pairing a mature woman and a cute girl? It seems like there's an audience for that."

"is it?"

Bai Luxi chatted with the salted pear about this issue for a while.

Jiang Lai didn't see Fu An, so she asked, "Where's Director Fu?"

"You've gone out, haven't you?" "Yes, it seems like something came up."

Jiang Lai nodded: "I see."

They continued chatting about all sorts of things.

-

At 1:30 p.m., everyone was still sitting in the first-floor lounge area.

"Director Fu isn't here, I don't want to go to work." Bai Luxi leaned against Jiang Lai.

“The other directors are easier to talk to, waiting a little longer won’t hurt,” Iris said. “Director Fu—”

As the conversation continued, Fu An walked in from outside.

"Why are you still here?" Fu An asked. "We can start working now."

Everyone immediately stood up and went about their business.

Jiang Lai's scene today involves her and Cang Hai; the two of them quietly go upstairs one after the other.

"Canghai, you two go to 5-ADR. I'm going to catch you acting today," Fu An's voice rang out from behind.

Jiang Lai and Cang Hai exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

“Let’s go.” Fu An stepped forward.

The three of them went to recording studio number 5 one after the other.

"Sit down, let's talk about this scene first." Fu An handed the script on the table to her and Cang Hai.

Jiang Lai opened the notebook, which was filled with notes. Fu An had clearly marked the stresses, pauses, and the points where the emotions were more intense.

“I only marked a few important points in Canghai’s notes. Shaoyin’s scenes are of utmost importance. Since you’re a newcomer, I’ve taken more notes. Take a good look at them,” Fu An said to Jiang Lai.

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Lai nodded vigorously. "Don't worry! I'll put in my utmost effort!"

Perhaps it was because her tone and expression were too serious that Fu An couldn't help but laugh, his deep, clear voice carrying a hint of helplessness, "Then there's no need to go to such lengths."

He smiled and said, "If you don't do it well the first time, just try a few more times. Don't feel pressured."

"Uh-huh!"

-

"I have made my decision, Immortal Lord, there is no need to persuade me any further."

"I was born in accordance with the workings of Heaven and Earth, and now I am sacrificing myself for my cause. This is how it should be, so what is there to regret?"

"If sacrificing myself can bring peace to the Three Realms, what is wrong with that? Master! Please grant your disciple's request!"

Fu An stopped her.

"These words could be a bit stronger. Shaoyin is a seemingly easygoing and gentle person, but she is also stubborn. Once she makes a decision, she will not change it. Your tone was a bit too soft, lacking the feeling of sacrificing oneself for righteousness."

"Okay." Jiang Lai nodded and started again.

Thunder rumbled, dark clouds loomed overhead, and after the pillars collapsed, natural disasters continued, leaving the land devastated and its inhabitants suffering immense loss of life.

In the far west, at the Boundless Sea, the place where the pillars are located—Shaoyin came here alone.

Nightmare called out to her, his voice filled with urgency: "Shaoyin!!"

Shao Yin stopped, without turning around, and asked in a calm tone, "May I ask why the Demon Lord has come?"

"What are you trying to do? To sacrifice yourself to achieve enlightenment? What do the affairs of the Three Realms have to do with you?"

"What do I have to do with the Demon Lord?"

Canghai frowned, looking at the script in his hands, his voice filled with sorrow, "I—"

"I'm sorry—" Nightmare clenched her fists, "If I hadn't lied to you, if I had told you my identity from the beginning, we—"

"There are no 'ifs,' so please return, Demon Lord."

"Was it worth it? Shaoyin! Who will be grateful to you for making this choice? Look at yourself now, who has stopped you? Who has come to see you off? Once everything returns to peace, how many people in the Three Realms will remember you?"

……

"That's enough, Shaoyin's scenes are over." Fu An's voice came through the earphone.

Jiang Lai looked at him with surprise.

On the other side of the glass, Fu An was also smiling as he looked at her.

“Not bad,” he said.

Canghai took off his headphones. "Congratulations, little sister! Filming's wrapped up!!"

"Haha, don't be too envious!!"

Jiang Lai and Cang Hai walked out of the recording studio together.

Fu An looked at her and said, "You did very well today. When you get back, you can review the issues I discussed with you. They are also applicable to other aspects."

"Okay!" Filming is wrapped up, I'm in a good mood, I can say anything!

Canghai was depressed: "Does this mean my sister won't come anymore once it's over?"

"Is that so?"

"Ugh, this is so much less fun!"

Fu An calmly said, "You still have a lot of scenes to come, so you won't find it boring."

Canghai pounded his chest and stamped his feet: "What kind of demon are you reincarnated from?!"

Jiang Lai smiled secretly. Fu An glanced at her and said, "It's getting late. Are you going back to school?"

Jiang Lai glanced at the wall clock. "Indeed, it's time to go back."

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

Canghai left the recording studio with them.

When I got to the first floor, there were quite a few people resting.

"Hey, Canghai, little sister, you're out relaxing too?"

Canghai said with a bitter face, "My sister's scenes are finished, we have to go back."

"So fast!" "Congratulations!!!" "I'm so envious! I also want it to end soon!"

Jiang Lai chatted happily with everyone for a few minutes.

Bai Luxi stood up from the sofa. "I'll take my sister home! Anyway, I've finished most of my scenes for today."

Fu An looked at Jiang Lai: "What do you say?"

"Director Fu has work to do later, so I'll take him home," Bai Luxi said. "Then I won't come back today; I'll go straight home."

Hearing Bai Luxi say that, Jiang Lai didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Bai!"

Fu An nodded: "Okay, let her take you."

"No problem!" Bai Luxi tossed her car keys. "Let's go!"

Jiang Lai immediately followed.

Bai Luxi, driving the car, asked, "How did you feel about today's scenes?"

"It was great. I had some difficulty expressing the explosive scenes, but Brother Canghai and Director Fu gave me a lot of guidance."

“Director Fu An is really good at directing. You’ll definitely benefit from learning more from him.” Bai Luxi said wistfully, “Back then, I learned a lot from him too.”

"Director Fu is indeed amazing." Jiang Lai nodded in agreement.

"Sigh, your scenes are finished, but mine are still a long way off." Bai Luxi said with a hint of melancholy, "Then we won't see each other after you go back?"

“You can come out and hang out anytime! If you’re free on the weekend, Sister Bai, you can call me.”

“I saw the class schedule you posted, you seem to be quite busy.”

"Appropriate entertainment is still necessary. If you only study and don't play, even smart kids will become dull!"

"you're right."

The two chatted and laughed all the way.

"We're here." Bai Luxi parked the car at the school gate. "Be careful when you get out of the car."

"Okay, thank you, sister." Jiang Lai had just unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the car door when she suddenly stopped.

She handed Bai Luxi a dinosaur egg she had made herself, which was in her bag. "I almost forgot, didn't I say I had something for you? Sister, this is especially for you."

"What is this?! It's so small and cute! A dinosaur egg?" Bai Luxi took the individually wrapped dessert. "Did you make it yourself? Is it just for me?"

"It's just mochi bread. If you hadn't recommended me to Director Fu, I probably wouldn't have gotten the role of Shaoyin. And if you hadn't given me acting advice later, my dubbing wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Also, you always treat me to meals and take me back to school. You're always very caring towards me! So I wanted to thank you specifically."
