Yu Xihengâs brow twitched. âYou found her?â
âYes.â Huo Yanxing frowned. âShe disguised herself. I recognized her, but she didnât recognize me.â
He hadnât disguised himself during his mission.
That left only one possibility: the woman had forgotten him.
Though it was indeed an accident, how could such a thing be forgotten?
He had remembered for three years.
It couldnât have been better.
Supporting his head with one hand, Yu Xiheng said, âHmm, this must be what the internet calls a âheartless woman.'â
Huo Yanxing was speechless.
After a few seconds, he asked slowly, âYou surf the internet now?â
âMy lady is a big star,â Yu Xihengâs voice was calm. âI have to keep her company.â
Huo Yanxing was stunned. â⦠your lady?â
He felt like heâd been away in the Free State for two years and the whole world outside had changed.
After the call ended, Huo Yanxing took out a notebook and stared at a string of numbers on it in a daze.
With her contact information, he wasnât afraid she would deny knowing him in the future.
There was plenty of time.

Early the next morning.
Director Qin, following the instructions from Great Xia TV, went to the Glenn Memorial Hall to shoot a program.
The memorial hall showcased the history of film development and had an exhibit for each yearâs best film at the Glenn Awards, including wax figures of each best actor and actress.
After the morningâs recording, the crew booked a small café to rest.
Having been busy dealing with people the night before and not having slept well, Si Fuqing was trying to catch some rest.
Next to her, Song Wenhua and several other celebrity guests were chatting.
A female celebrity exclaimed, âWow, Wenhua, you have such a good relationship with Queen Tong! She actually gave you tickets to the Glenn Film Festival!â
The festival tickets were for attending the event, and while they didnât guarantee walking the red carpet, they couldnât be obtained without some connections.
âItâs nothing much. I acted as a mother-daughter duo with Teacher Tong when I was a child.â Song Wenhua smiled. âI can contact her and see if she has extra tickets to share with you.â
She paused and added, âBut isnât Teacher Si not on good terms with Teacher Tong? Do you need me to mediate?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Due to strong audience demand, âCrossing the Demon Realmâ was airing a second round on Starlight TV.
The second round was almost over, while Tong Luoyunâs âGreat Zhao Dynastyâ was only just reaching its finale.
With its seventy to eighty episodes, the pacing was extremely slow, and many viewers were aesthetically fatigued by the end.
Not only did the ratings not improve, but they actually dropped with each episode.
âGreat Zhao Dynastyâ could be said to have peaked at its beginning, while âCrossing the Demon Realmâ kept breaking records one after another.
The simultaneous airing of the two dramas, combined with the condescending attitude of the âGreat Zhao Dynastyâ team towards âCrossing the Demon Realmâ before the broadcasts, inevitably led to comparisons by content creators and influencers.
Tong Luoyun, being the top among the Four Actresses and a triple Golden Awards-winning actress, did not gain any advantage in this TV drama battle.
Si Fuqing opened her eyes.
âTeacher Si, we still need to respect our seniors,â Song Wenhua said. âThe entertainment industry is only so big, and we will eventually collaborate. Thereâs no need to be at odds with our seniors. If you apologize to Teacher Tong, it wouldnât be so awkward. After all, you both share the same agent.â
âIf you take a step back, we could all go to the film festival together. The Glenn Film Festival isnât just any ordinary festival.â
Si Fuqing looked up. âAre you done?â
Song Wenhua was momentarily stunned. âDone-done, yes.â
She felt a bit displeased.
âYou reminded me,â Si Fuqing said, starting to rummage through her bag.
She then pulled out a stack of tickets to the film festival.
