Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

Upon hearing He Ling's question, Li Mingxuan smiled slightly and then responded.

"I don't feel there's anything special about it. Maybe it's because I'm a newcomer and nobody knows me yet, so when I go out, I don't need to wear sunglasses or a mask, and there are no reporters or paparazzi waiting to interview me, so it's still the same as before."

He Ling smiled as he listened. This was the first time he had heard something so novel yet so genuine. He had asked some other newcomers who had just debuted before, but they always said things with high expectations, such as their hopes for the future, that they didn't want to disappoint their fans, and that they would strive to create perfect works to repay their fans. But this was the first time he had heard such simple and honest words from Li Mingxuan.

But it was very comfortable.

"Well, with your talent, I believe it won't be long before you become a household name and a big star. So cherish this time now, because you're destined not to be able to make appearances so easily in the future."

Li Mingxuan chuckled: "It's okay. I'm usually a homebody. If I don't have anything to do, I'll stay home unless I'm grocery shopping or exercising, so I'm not too worried."

Do you still enjoy exercising?

"I don't like it. I just run around the neighborhood near my home. I don't go to the gym, so it's not worth wasting money," Li Mingxuan said, shaking his head.

As they were talking, a figure stepped into the courtyard, catching their attention.

She was wearing a pink princess dress, her hair was styled in a bun, and a smile graced her delicate and beautiful face.

She looked like a porcelain doll—beautiful and adorable.

"Welcome new friend, welcome Jiang Ying." He Ling clearly recognized the newcomer, but Li Mingxuan didn't know the girl, so he didn't say anything.

"Hello, Teacher He! I love watching Teacher He's shows. I never thought I would be able to share the stage with Teacher He one day. I'm so excited!"

The girl clearly really liked He Ling, because her big eyes lit up the moment she saw him.

She jumped for joy, abandoning her luggage, and rushed up to hug He Ling.

Through He Ling's introduction, Li Mingxuan became acquainted with him.

Jiang Ying, a rising star, has appeared in many film and television works. Recently, she starred in a popular drama, where she played the second female lead, a clever, lively, and passionate princess who is very likable.

Moreover, her appearance perfectly matches the sweet and cute persona, just like her outfit today, which makes her look like a Barbie princess.

"Hello Jiang Ying, I'm Li Mingxuan," Li Mingxuan greeted her.

Jiang Ying glanced at Li Mingxuan, her big eyes sparkling with bright light. She smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

"Hello, Li Mingxuan, you're so handsome."

Hearing the girl's straightforward praise, even Li Mingxuan blushed.

"Haha, Mingxuan is so embarrassed by the praise." He Ling laughed happily when she saw Li Mingxuan's awkward expression.

Jiang Ying blushed slightly after hearing He Ling's words.

"Mingxuan, take Jiang Ying to choose a room. I'll tidy up these things." He Ling gave him a look, and he nodded.

Li Mingxuan shook the water off his hands, then went over and pulled her suitcase up, leading her over.

"Three rooms have been reserved now: one for Teacher He, one for me, and one for Zhou Chen. I'll introduce them to you later."

“Each room has a bedroom and a living room; they are spacious and all clean.”

Li Mingxuan pointed to his and Zhou Chen's room and said.

Jiang Ying looked around and said, "Then I'll stay in the room next to yours, okay?"

Li Mingxuan smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"Okay, that's settled then." Jiang Ying smiled, revealing her two little tiger teeth again.

"Okay, I'll put your luggage in here. You can unpack it yourself." Li Mingxuan solicitously pulled the suitcase and put it into the room for her.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Mingxuan," Jiang Ying said with a smile.

Li Mingxuan was slightly taken aback; the title sounded somewhat familiar.

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Li Mingxuan waved his hand and then left the room.

At this moment, Zhou Chen also came out of the room.

"Brother Xuan, a new guy has arrived?"

Li Mingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, she's a pretty and cute little girl named Jiang Ying. You'll see her soon."

"Are you all packed?"

Zhou Chen responded and then followed Li Mingxuan into the kitchen to help.

At 5 p.m., two more guests arrived, a man and a woman, who surprisingly came in together.

The man's name is Pan Weiming, and the woman's name is Liu Wenfei.

Pan Weiming is in his forties and has been an actor for a long time. He is very popular and is a top-tier artist with a large number of film and television works.

Liu Wenfei is a top-tier actress who has been in the industry for many years. Now in her early thirties, she has experience in film, television, and music. She has outstanding looks and a very good image.

She gives off a mature and composed vibe, like a friendly older sister next door.

The two stepped inside and saw several people busy in the courtyard.

"Hi guys."

The two greeted each other first.

He Ling and the others went up to greet them warmly.

The two first put their luggage in their room, and then came out to help everyone else.

It's a little past five o'clock now. He Ling, Li Mingxuan, and the others finished preparing the ingredients for dinner this afternoon, and they can start cooking soon.

Li Mingxuan volunteered to cook, as he knew how to make some home-style dishes, while Zhou Chen and Jiang Ying were a little embarrassed because they didn't know how to cook.

Liu Wenfei went to cook, and He Ling said he would prepare some fruit for dinner. Only Pan Weiming and Li Mingxuan were left in the kitchen, but fortunately, both of them knew how to cook.

With a clear division of labor, Li Mingxuan looked at the prepared ingredients and discussed with Pan Weiming what dishes to make for dinner.

After a while, they started heating the oil in the wok, and soon a fragrant aroma began to waft out.

Seeing that the two were working together quite well, Han Feng kept nodding in approval from the back end.

This kid has a natural charm; he always gets along well with people.

Zhou Chen and He Ling, along with two others, were chatting idly in the courtyard. Li Mingxuan couldn't hear them clearly, but seeing Zhou Chen nodding and laughing from time to time, he felt relieved.

As long as Zhou Chen interacts with more people and gradually opens his heart, his future is absolutely limitless.

I stir-fried a few vegetarian dishes and also made a few meat dishes, including braised pork, braised chicken with potatoes, and a braised fish.

On the first night, the production team was quite considerate, providing a wide variety of ingredients.

No matter what happens in the future, at least make sure everyone has a pleasant first meal.

Around 7 p.m., all the food was ready. Everyone helped each other set up a table in the yard, served the dinner, and the group gathered around to enjoy their first meal of the day.
