Lin Shi could discern the underlying message from Gao Liang’s words: "I see, it’s not that Chi Yu and his agent have a close relationship, but rather because Chi Yu has influential backing, which is why Yi Shu caters to him."

"Wow, so when you said you wanted to have a good relationship with me, you meant you want to see me catering to you?" Gao Liang caught the point as well.

Lin Shi nodded at first, but quickly shook his head upon realizing: "No, no, that’s not what I meant."

"Come on, as if I don’t know what’s on your mind," Gao Liang said frankly, "You’ve been looking down on me for ages, waking you up at six and letting you sleep at eleven, you think I’m torturing you? No, I’m just training you to not waste yourself away. I’ve told you many times the saying ’three minutes on stage, ten years off stage,’ right? You have to always keep that in mind, even if one day you become famous and replace me as your agent, you have to remember."

Lin Shi nodded: "Got it."

Gao Liang often repeated these words, and although Lin Shi was almost tired of hearing them, they were useful, and he kept them in mind.

However, he was curious: "Brother Liang, you said Chi Yu has influential backing, so Yi Shu caters to him. Can you tell me, what backing does Chi Yu actually have?"

Gao Liang remained silent. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Shi pursued the question: "Is his family running a company?"

"Does the company have anything to do with the entertainment industry? I remember he debuted as a leading actor, was the show invested by his family?"

"Was he sponsored by a rich woman? No, wait, I just learned he’s marri... cough!" Almost let it slip.

Gao Liang picked up on Lin Shi’s words: "You mean married?"

Lin Shi shook his head vigorously.

Just let him be a lonely fox.

Gao Liang didn’t pursue the topic further, as Chi Yu’s identity is out there, and he wasn’t interested in Chi Yu’s affairs, only telling Lin Shi: "Never mind what his family does, you just need to know that having a red background is the biggest privilege in this circle."

Lin Shi was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly enlightened, realizing Chi Yu has a red background...

Awesome!

Big shot!

Hold onto it!

...

Everyone didn’t take Chi Yu’s sleepwalking last night too seriously.

After nightfall, they returned to their rooms to rest.

Yao Tao, being mindful, stayed alert, decided to sleep a bit later tonight, closed the door and kept watch.

She kept watching, watching until after one o’clock.

Her eyelids couldn’t bear it, Yao Tao checked the time: "It’s almost two o’clock after a nap."

Last night he dashed out at half-past twelve.

Tonight, it’s almost two o’clock, seems like he won’t be sleepwalking again.

Yao Tao rested assured and went to sleep.

Who would have thought, just after resting for about ten minutes?

The door of the farmhouse was opened—

The following day.

Yi Shu woke up to knock on Chi Yu’s door, thinking he didn’t hear any noise outside last night, probably sleeping well, nothing unusual.

Knocked several times, but no one answered.

Yi Shu was puzzled, tried pushing: "Didn’t lock the door last night?"

Upon opening, not a single person inside.

Yi Shu was dumbfounded, thinking maybe he sleepwalked again last night? But there was no noise, could have gotten up early.

Yi Shu turned downstairs to look around, couldn’t find Chi Yu, asked around but no one saw him.

"Finished, sleepwalked again! Where did he go this time?"

Early morning, everyone got up one after another and heard Chi Yu was missing again last night, all went to search for him. He didn’t drive away, didn’t pack his luggage, walked a long way without seeing him.

The show crew also panicked.

Yao Tao felt guilty for sleeping early last night, should have stayed up longer.

Just when everyone anxiously awaited news, the village head came and asked: "Did any of you bully the kid last night? He ran off to the orchard alone and stayed overnight, caught a cold, already sent to my place."

Everyone who was worried and anxious heard the village head’s situation: "..."!!!

The village head didn’t say a single word incorrectly.

Chi Yu went to the orchard behind the mountain at dusk last night.

The orchard now has surveillance, playback showed Chi Yu went straight for a warehouse, an old warehouse built years ago storing some weeding tools.

Watching the surveillance, Chi Yu wandered outside the warehouse, wandering for a long time.

He wandered for about half an hour, even spoke to the door periodically. The surveillance couldn’t capture sound, only showed Chi Yu’s lips moving.

When everyone thought he might knock or climb through the window, Chi Yu suddenly sat down on the ground, leaned against the door frame, and fell asleep.

Everyone watching the surveillance replay: "..."

Chi Yu watching the surveillance replay: "..."

Just ridiculous!

A person who never sleepwalks, nor talks in sleep, ends up sleepwalking twice in two nights upon arriving at Ancient Water Village.

Once sleepwalking driving out.

Once sleepwalking before dusk to the orchard talking to himself.

This...

Everyone collectively gazed at the coldly indifferent Chi Yu, no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

Yi Shu whispered: "Do you have any impression of going to the orchard last night?"

The answer was obvious, Chi Yu’s expression already made it clear.

He had no impression at all.

Completely forgot.

Chi Yu silently clenched his hands, his gaze shifting unpredictably, what’s wrong with him?
