Huayu: This director specializes in promoting young actresses.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yitong nestled against Lin Feng's chest and deliberately dragged out her words: "My boss Lin is really busy, calling me 'Brother Feng' one after another. It's making my heart flutter."

Lin Feng pinched her nose: "What? Jealous?" He leaned close to her ear, his voice ambiguous, "Looks like I didn't satisfy you last night, tonight..."

Li Yitong's face flushed instantly. She reached out and covered his mouth, scolding him playfully, "You're so annoying!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Haochun excitedly did a split in mid-air on the playground. As she landed, she clenched her little fists and cheered herself on: "Haochun is awesome! I finally took the first step!"

The thought of meeting Lin Feng tomorrow made her heart race. "What should I wear?" She looked down at her training clothes, shook her head, and said, "No, no, that's too casual."

She remembered a white dress in her closet that she hadn't been willing to wear. "That should be okay, right?" she muttered to herself. "Should I put on some light makeup? Just lipstick?"

She paced back and forth on the playground, her mind filled with plans for tomorrow: "What should we eat first? Feng seems to like spicy food, so how about hot pot? What should we do after that?"

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but jump up again.

The next morning, Liu Haochun put on a white dress, applied a little lipstick in front of the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction at herself: "Hmm, it looks pretty good."

At 11 a.m., Lin Feng parked his car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, and his eyes quickly locked onto the figure standing under the tree.

Liu Haochun wore a white dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze, making her already slender figure appear even more graceful. The seventeen-year-old girl still had a touch of youthful innocence on her face, yet her captivating features were already faintly revealed.

Lin Feng opened the car door and walked over, smiling as he said, "Haochun, have you been waiting long?"

Liu Haochun turned around, and when she saw him, her eyes lit up, a faint blush instantly rose to her cheeks, and her voice was soft: "No, I just arrived not long ago."

"You look great today." Lin Feng praised her generously, his gaze lingering on her dress. "This dress suits you very well."

Liu Haochun secretly tugged at the hem of her skirt and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Feng." It was definitely worth getting up early to dress up; even Brother Feng praised her.

Once in the car, Liu Haochun asked, "Brother Feng, what do you want to eat for lunch? It's my treat."

"You're treating me, so of course you get to decide." Lin Feng started the car, the steering wheel turning smoothly in his hands. "What do you want to eat?"

"Then... shall we go eat hot pot?" Liu Haochun bit her lip, looking at him uncertainly. "I know a restaurant that's pretty good. My classmates have eaten there, and they said it was alright."

Raymond Lam was a little surprised: "Can you handle spicy food? Last time in Chongqing, you didn't seem to be able to eat much spicy food."

"It's okay to eat it once in a while," Liu Haochun quickly said, her eyes filled with anticipation. "And we can order a half-and-half pot. I haven't had hot pot in ages, not since I came back from Chongqing. By the way, where's Sister Xue?"

Looking into her bright eyes, Lin Feng couldn't refuse: "Okay, whatever you say. We didn't call Sister Xue today; she's resting."

Actually, when he left in the morning, Li Yitong was still huddled in bed with messy hair, muttering, "I ate too much last night and can't get up." He asked if she wanted to come with him, but she buried her head in the pillow and pretended to be dead.

Hearing this, Liu Haochun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling a little delighted. It was nice that it was just the two of them. She casually replied, "Oh, I see."

Following the address given by Liu Haochun, the car wound its way to a stop in front of a hot pot restaurant that looked quite old. The storefront wasn't large, with red lanterns hanging at the entrance and a wooden sign that read "Old Place Hot Pot," exuding a lively, bustling atmosphere.

"This is it," Liu Haochun said, pushing open the car door. His eyes crinkled into crescents. "I came here once with my classmates before, and the taste was absolutely authentic."

The two went into the store and found a table by the window to sit down. The waiter brought the menu, and Liu Haochun pushed it to Lin Feng: "Brother Feng, you order, I'm fine with anything."

"You order," Lin Feng pushed the menu back, "You're treating, so of course you have to order what you like."

Liu Haochun couldn't refuse him, so he picked up a pen and carefully underlined the names of the dishes: "Then I'll order a hot pot with two broths, and then... beef rolls, shrimp balls, wide rice noodles, baby bok choy... what does Brother Feng want to eat?"

"Let's add some tripe and beef aorta," Lin Feng added.

While waiting for the broth and ingredients to cook, Lin Feng picked up his phone. Li Yi had just sent him a message: "Director Lin, the movie trailer has surpassed five million views, and the comments section is full of excited voices!"

He quickly replied, "Okay, keep following up, and give me the specific data tonight."

As he put down his phone, he looked up and met Liu Haochun's gaze, who was staring at him intently. Noticing his gaze, Liu Haochun abruptly lowered his head, his ear tips turning bright red, his fingers unconsciously digging into the tablecloth.

Lin Feng said, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

"No, no!" Liu Haochun waved his hands hurriedly, his voice stammering, "I just... I just spaced out."

But inwardly, she was annoyed: What's wrong with Liu Haochun! She actually stared at Brother Feng for so long. How embarrassing would it be if he noticed...?

To cover up her embarrassment, she quickly changed the subject: "Brother Feng, is the plot of 'The Beginning' getting more and more tense? My palms were sweating when I watched episode 8."

"Yes, it gets even more exciting later on." Lin Feng continued, following her lead. "Episode 9 will reveal more of the passengers' secrets, and episode 10..."

"Don't spoil it!" Liu Haochun quickly covered his ears, but his eyes were smiling. "I want to see it for myself."

Just then, the waiter brought over the hot pot base. Once the hot pot was boiling, Lin Feng picked up a piece of tripe, dipped it in the red broth a few times, and put it in his mouth: "Hmm, the taste is indeed quite good."

Seeing him eating with relish, Liu Haochun also picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of fatty beef roll, and put it into the clear broth pot. She ate slowly, chewing in small bites, but her eyes would occasionally glance at Lin Feng.

The two chatted as they ate, discussing everything from the plot of "The Beginning" to interesting stories from school.

After finishing his meal, Lin Feng checked the time: "It's still early, where do you want to go?"

"I heard that Shijingshan Amusement Park has opened Fantasy World and Adventure World," Liu Haochun said with anticipation in his eyes. "I want to go check them out."

"Okay, let's go there then."

The Shijingshan Amusement Park was bustling with activity. Liu Haochun tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve and headed towards the roller coaster: "Brother Feng, I want to ride that one!"

As the roller coaster started, Liu Haochun closed his eyes in fright and tightly gripped Lin Feng's hand: "Don't be afraid, we'll be at the top soon."

As the car plunged forward, Liu Haochun screamed. When it came to a stop, her face was pale, but she still exclaimed excitedly, "That was so thrilling! I want to do it again!"

Lin Feng smiled helplessly: "Are you scared out of your wits or just having too much fun?"

Liu Haochun took out her phone, took a selfie, and then secretly took a picture of Lin Feng's profile.

In the adventure world, they ventured into a haunted house together. Liu Haochun was so scared that she hid behind Lin Feng the whole time, clinging tightly to his clothes. In the fantasy world, they watched a 4D movie.

Throughout the afternoon, Liu Haochun's phone album was filled with many photos: there was one of her grinning foolishly at a cotton candy, a candid shot of the two of them at the top of a roller coaster, a profile of him helping her open a bottle cap, and a photo of the two of them together, with her leaning against him, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and him looking at her with his head slightly turned to the side.

As the sun set, Lin Feng escorted Liu Haochun back to the entrance of the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy.

"Thank you for today, Brother Feng." Liu Haochun stood by the car, looking up at him. "I haven't been this happy in a long time."

Before Lin Feng could speak, she suddenly stepped forward and gently hugged him.

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted her head: "As long as you're happy. Go back and practice your dance."

Liu Haochun released him, her cheeks flushed, and nodded vigorously: "Okay! Goodbye, Brother Feng."
