When the car door opened, a pair of high-top black and white sneakers stepped onto the ground. After a moment, the sneakers moved, and a tall, slim-legged young man bent down and got off the car. With his back to the camera, he placed one hand on the open car door, seemingly looking towards the sky, his figure radiating a golden glow. Even without turning around, it was hard to look away from him.
The young man turned slightly, revealing a finely chiseled half-face that appeared even more delicate and three-dimensional under the sunlight. He suddenly said something to the people inside the car, then clenched his right hand into a fist and shook it in front of him, acting as if he was about to bend into the car.
At that exact moment, the door on the other side of the car opened just before the young man could lean in. A young man wearing a matching red hooded short-sleeve shirt swiftly sprang out from the car. His handsome face was currently wincing with a playful grin as he raised his hands in surrender, his almond-shaped eyes laughing cheerfully.
The young man closed the car door, slid one hand into the pocket of his deep blue ripped jeans, and lifted the other to gently brush away the bangs hanging over his eyes. As he did, the other young man came up to him, his mischievous smile shining even brighter under the glaring sun.
The young man suddenly grabbed the headset from around his neck and hung it around the other’s neck. His smile was proud and unrestrained as he said something.
The young man fiddled with the headset, tilting his head slightly. Hearing the other’s words, he paused for a moment before suddenly turning his head, fully revealing the exquisite half-profile that had been shrouded. He faced the approaching camera directly.
In an instant, the camera captured his impossibly delicate face.
His features were sharp and well-defined, yet his young, baby-soft skin made him appear tender. Lips set in a thin line, most strikingly, as the camera zoomed in, his star-like eyes brimming with endless starlight came into close view.
That single glance from the young man seemed to capture all the world’s brilliance, making one feel deeply drawn into the dark, profound pupils.
What captivated people wasn’t just his appearance. It was the contrast of his emotionless young face paired with those slightly nervous but starry eyes, making him adorably contradictory.
In the camera, the young man said something to the other young man, and they both subtly smiled. Director Li noticed that the previously nervous young man had changed; his starry eyes now exuded calm confidence with each blink.
They stepped forward simultaneously, each wearing the same red hooded shirt, each radiating the same confident air—one appearing cold and indifferent, the other unruly and bold. Yet undeniably, both exuded a powerful, proud aura that couldn’t be ignored.
At that moment, Director Li heard the chief cameraman next to him remark in a low voice, "Naturally beautiful."
Director Li was taken aback, turning to look at the camera enthusiast who was intensely focused on the shot. He knew his cameraman well; with his stringent standards for the camera, he had never praised anyone before. But today, he had called someone—naturally beautiful.
How perfect this person was for the camera!
The two strolled calmly up to the production team. Xu Renfei’s devilish smile fixed on Director Li as he spoke first, "Director Li, it’s been a while. Your beard is as splendid as ever."
Director Li, known for his stubborn temperament and disheveled look, had a particular fondness for the beard he’d nurtured over the years. Although he was only in his fifties, his beard made him appear much older, around seventy or eighty. Yet he refused to shave it, devoted to his beard as he was.
Hearing Xu Renfei’s compliment, Director Li sat on the ground with a beaming smile, stroking his beard, "You rascal, you sure know how to talk."
Xu Renfei raised an eyebrow, "Don’t praise me like that. I’m worried people will say I’m brown-nosing when the show airs."
Director Li laughed heartily, playfully scolding Xu Renfei before turning to Bi Xia, "Kid, don’t be nervous now that you’re here. Our show is all about chaos and fun, even if it brings down the sky, it’s all good."
"Oh?" Bi Xia’s starry eyes lifted, his red lips curling up, "If that’s the case, that would be perfect..."
Meanwhile, matching black sedans, like the ones the two young men had arrived in, began to appear one after another in front of the crowd.
