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

"Wow, it smells so good! I'm so lucky!"

Beneath Jiang Ying's adorable face lies the heart of a foodie. Seeing the table laden with all sorts of dishes, her big eyes sparkled with delight.

"Alright, everyone's hungry, let's start eating. Hopefully, the production team won't give us any questions about dinner after we finish eating," He Ling said with a smile, picking up his chopsticks and gesturing for everyone to begin.

Hearing He Ling's words, Liu Wenfei looked at him in surprise: "Really? Today isn't even the official recording time yet, right? The production team shouldn't be that exploitative, should they?"

"That depends on whether the directors will let us eat properly." Pan Weiming smiled and turned to look in the direction of the director's camera.

Han Feng overheard their conversation, smiled, and shook his head, indicating that things weren't as bad as they thought, and that they could eat without worry.

Having received the answer they wanted, everyone finally felt relieved and happily started eating.

"Although the production team won't ask any questions, I do have a little game that we can play while we eat, so it won't be too boring. What do you think?" He Ling, as expected of a variety show expert, always manages to liven up the atmosphere.

Everyone agreed.

"Tonight's dinner was prepared by handsome Li Mingxuan and teacher Pan Weiming. Apart from the two of them, the rest of us will take turns guessing which dish was made by which of them. The winner can make one reasonable request, and the loser will have to accept a punishment. How about that?"

Upon hearing He Ling's words, everyone pondered for a moment, and then they all agreed.

"What is the punishment?"

"How about a game of Truth or Dare?" He Ling asked with a smile.

Jiang Ying: "Okay, I like it."

Liu Wenfei: "I agree."

Zhou Chen: "I agree too."

Li Mingxuan and Pan Weiming exchanged a glance, feeling like they weren't really involved. So Pan Weiming suggested that the losers should decide on their own punishments.

Everyone agreed without question.

“Okay, let’s go in order and start with Xiaoying.” He Ling glanced at the table, then looked at Jiang Ying and smiled.

Jiang Ying didn't expect to be the first guinea pig, but she didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

She reached for a vegetarian dish with her chopsticks—shiitake mushrooms and greens—picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and savored it. Everyone else looked at her, waiting for her answer.

"good to eat."

Everyone suddenly laughed, and He Ling said with a smile, "Xiao Ying, I didn't ask you to taste whether it's delicious or not, I asked you to guess whether this dish was made by Li Mingxuan or Pan Weiming."

Jiang Ying blushed deeply, feeling a little embarrassed.

She then tilted her head, looked at Li Mingxuan, and then at Pan Weiming, trying to guess the answer from their facial expressions.

However, both of them had the same indifferent expression, which disappointed her.

"I'm just guessing, there's a 50% chance," Liu Wenfei said with a smile. She wasn't flustered at all, even though she was next in line.

"Hmm~, I guess, it's, Brother Mingxuan?" Jiang Ying bit one end of her chopsticks, her expression unusually cute, but the last four words clearly indicated she wasn't entirely sure.

"Are you sure?" He Ling looked at her and asked with a smile.

"Ugh, I'm sure!" Jiang Ying whimpered twice, then nodded sharply.

"Congratulations, you guessed right." Li Mingxuan said, then clapped her hands, and the others followed suit.

Jiang Ying's face flushed with happiness, and she let out two sweet cries.

He Ling continued, "Alright, as the winner, Xiaoying, you can make a request, or ask Li Mingxuan a question."

Li Mingxuan never expected that he would not be spared in the end, but he did not refuse.

Jiang Ying stared at Li Mingxuan with her bright eyes sparkling like stars.

"I want to ask, Mingxuan, I remember you composed a song called 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies' on the set of 'The Rising Star.' How did you manage to create such a wonderful song in such a short time?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ying's words, everyone's gaze fell upon Li Mingxuan. Clearly, they had all learned about Li Mingxuan before they arrived, especially his performance on "Rising Star".

Especially in the final stage, he actually created the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" in just over ten minutes in front of all the audience members at the venue and the viewers in the live broadcast room, and the song is now ranked high on the hot song chart.

They were also very curious about how he created it, under those circumstances and conditions. Was he really a gifted genius?

Li Mingxuan touched his nose and then said, "This song did take more than ten minutes to finish, but at the time I was actually feeling a bit aggrieved because I was inexplicably accused of some scandals. I thought I couldn't just sit and wait to die, I had to fight back, but I certainly couldn't hit anyone, right? So I used lyrics to fight back, and that's how the inspiration came about."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless. To put it simply, songwriting comes from inspiration; when inspiration strikes, the song is born.

"So you really wrote this song in just over ten minutes?" Liu Wenfei, who is both an actress and a singer, understands this feeling very well. Sometimes, inspiration can really unleash a person's potential.

“Uh, yes.” Li Mingxuan smiled. It did take more than ten minutes to sing this song from the first word to the last word. Besides, there was no Shin Band in this world, so he was the original artist.

"awesome!"

"too strong!"

Everyone was amazed.

"Alright, after Xiaoying, it's Wenfei's turn." He Ling clapped her hands, signaling the next person.

Liu Wenfei reached out with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, put it into her red lips, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"When making braised chicken with potatoes, people in the north usually add more chili peppers to remove the chicken's gamey smell, while people in the south usually just add some small red chili peppers as a garnish."

"As far as I know, Li Mingxuan is from Linjiang, while Teacher Pan is from Fuzhou, so I guess this dish was made by Teacher Pan."

Then, everyone's eyes fell on Pan Weiming, who smiled. When Liu Wenfei saw him smile, she thought she had won, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Congratulations, you guessed wrong." Pan Weiming smiled, a result that surprised Liu Wenfei.

"No way?"

The group then looked at Li Mingxuan.

Li Mingxuan nodded and smiled, "I made this chicken dish, but Teacher Pan asked me to take everyone's tastes into consideration, so I didn't put in too many chili peppers, just some small red chilies."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenfei immediately showed a helpless expression, "Come on, ask away."

"Should I ask or should Teacher Pan ask?" Li Mingxuan looked at He Ling, unsure of what to do.

"Teacher Pan asked because Wenfei guessed it was Teacher Pan."

“Okay, I’ll ask.” Pan Weiming smiled, sat up straight, and looked at Liu Wenfei, which made the latter suddenly nervous.
