The next day, when Bo Yu who has been lonely for two years, becomes popular again, he begins unconsciously releasing his hormones. The charm of the mature man is greatly enhanced, which attracting the attention of the women around him.
Lulu, a young makeup artist, pats her good friend and whispers, “Why does he become so… so coquettish that we haven’t seen for a day?”
“He’s obviously sexy, okay? Don’t insult my idol!” The young girl is dissatisfied, who looks at Bo Yu’s back from afar with the adoring eyes.
Lulu curls her lip and thinks that she is really boring. Bo Yu is just a handsome star. She seems to be crazy about him all day as if she has never seen a man in eight hundred years, for fear that others don’t know she likes him.
Besides, Bo Yu isn’t very handsome. I really don’t understand why she is crazy about him.
The charming man with the male hormone hasn’t found that young girls’ eyes in the crew brighten when looking at him.
Bo Yu, who has good luck in adventures with bad women, slowly walks up to Director Hou and says, “Director Hou, what scenes are you going to film today?”
Director Hou circles around Bo Yu two times without answering him and makes fun of him, “It is pretty good to be handsome. Look at you! When you change the new clothes, you look like a new person.”
Bo Yu giggles.
Now he is wearing the beautiful and elegant antique red gown that the young general wears in the later period with theeffeminate style makeup, which is quite in line with the young girl’s aesthetics nowadays. But he can’t appreciate himself with heavy makeup.
Mo Anyu stands in the distance, and the unhappiness on the face is covered with the covering on the head. So, no one found that Mo Anyu’s facial expression is somewhat wrong.
Bo Yu has sharp eyes and finds Mo Anyu not far away. He hesitates for a moment before he takes the script to Mo Anyu and says, “We rehearse our scenes right now?”
Mo Anyu is silent for a moment and says hoarsely, “No. I have a sore throat.”
Bo Yu doubts, “Did you catch a cold last night?”
Mo Anyu’s voice is hoarse, so Bo Yu doesn’t suspect him.
Mo Anyu neither nods nor shakes his head. When he sees the general affairs staff running towards him, he moves and says, “Go acting. The last scene. Film the scene in one take.
Bo Yu likes Mo Anyu, probably because of Mo Anyu’s initial kindness to himself and the time spend together. So, he wants to make friends with Mo Anyu.
Therefore, Bo Yu offers an invitation, “May I invite you to have a meal with me after wrapping up?”
Mo Anyu’s hurried steps pause. He has complicated facial expression, but is still reluctant to refuse that good opportunity and says, “Okay.”
Bo Yu feels reassuring, walks with him side by side, pats his shoulder and says, “Thank you.”
Mo Anyu lowers his eyes.

The hierarch covers his injured shoulder and holds the sword at Gu Chengjing who is once trusted by him the most, but hurts him the most now, “Why do you betray me?”
Gu Chengjing, whose hands are stained with countless blood, loses the naivety when he is protected by his two brothers. Instead, there is unspeakable cruelty and indifference of him.
“I tell you that I will take revenge on you one day at the first time I meet you!” Gu Chengjing looks at him without feelings in his eyes.
“You know that?” With a sigh, the hierarch drops his sword on the ground. There is decadence and loss in his eyes.
“You risk saving me from a powerful army. You teach me everything, and you give me everything. I regard you as my only kinsfolk in the world.”
“But it is you who help the s*** emperor to exterminate my entire family and kill 239 people of Gu’s family! It’s because of you!”
The hierarch looks at Gu Chengjing who is taught by him at the young age. He is silent for a moment. He looks down, hides all regrets and unwillingness, stretches out his hands and says, “I’m sorry. I’m willing to take my life to compensate you for all your family’s…!”
“I don’t want that!” Gu Chengjing shouts angrily, being filled with malice, “Your life is too dirty. I don’t want that!”
The elder on the right side waits for a chance to cause trouble. He slaps Gu Chengjing before he reacts in time, and the palm wind sweeps relentlessly toward the hierarch standing on the edge of the cliff.
However, before his enemy plunges off cliff, the elder on the right side’s the most important vein is hit by the palm wind the next second, and he plunges off cliff.
The hierarch crazily rushes to the edge of the cliff.
At the critical moment, Gu Chengjing, who rushes forward alone to bear the palm of the elder on the right side, drops half of his body outside the cliff. He is so seriously injured that can’t withstand the palm of the elder on the right side at all.
Gu Chengjing looks up at the hierarch, saying indifferently,
“You saved me before, so I won’t kill you.”
“Li Feng, Gu Chengjing shouldn’t live in the world. There is no relationship between you and Gu’s family.”
Li Feng tightens his pale lips, stretching out his hands to Gu Chengjing and says, “Give me your hand. Be obedient!”
The next second, however, the blood spills from the corners of the mouth, and the mydriasis occurs. He is destroyed psychologically because of the anger.
Both the young general in the past and Gu Chengjing right now give up living and fall down like a kite with broken strings.

Three years later, the gray-haired Li Feng disappears in the world. Nobody including the devil group knows his whereabouts.
“I come to see you,” says Li Feng, standing at the edge of the cliff with a pot of wine in his hand.
The cold wind blows, and there is only echo of Li Feng’s voice on the cliffside.
“I will enjoy the beautiful scenery in the world that you haven’t seen for you. I’ll walk on the road that you haven’t walked for you. I’ll experience what you haven’t experienced for you.”
Li Feng drinks up the wine.
“I just hope that you will still be my brother after my death.”
After saying that, the hierarch, who has seen much of the changes in human life, takes a deep look behind him and turns away, leaving only a lonely figure.
When the ending song sounds, these pictures play back. The young general says firmly and sadly, “I want to revenge!” And the high-spirited and vigorous hierarch giggles.
“Cut!” Director Hou shouts with a trumpet in his hand, feeling satisfied.
The staff next to him discuss the lamentable plot in a low voice with red-rimmed eyes.
It is hard for them to accept the reversal ending because the previous part is filled with happiness but the ending is lamentable.
Director Hou comes over and pats Bo Yu and Mo Anyu’s shoulders. “It’s still early. So, let’s shoot the previous scenes. Then, we’ll go to have a dinner for wrapping up tonight. I hope you two will be there.”
Bo Yu nods without saying a word. He is reluctant. After all, there is only little Watermelon staying at home. He is worried.
But he can’t refuse to have a dinner with the screw. Because that kind of social activity is actually essential for an actor.
Mo Anyu takes a look at Bo Yu, takes back his sight, nods toward Director Hou, and then returns to his own restroom.
Director Hou smiles.
Bo Yu’s popularity is exploding again because of weekly broadcasting of The Young General.
When the fifth episode is broadcast, Bo Yu’s Weibo fans has risen from two million to more than six million followers. In the web series, the couple of the hierarch and the young general have been in the list of Weibo hot search for many times by enthusiastic fans.
At the same time, a large number of web series hope Bo Yu act, but most of those web series’ scripts are second-rate. So, Bo Yu rejects all invitations without hesitation.
Bo Yu knows clearly that he can just act in the web series like The Young General once; otherwise the popularity will be declined by overexposure in the public.
He has to think carefully about the next script before he makes a decision.
Mo Anyu’s work is much more than Bo Yu’s.
So, Director Hou invites both of them to attend the dinner at the same time, not only to increase the popularity of the couple, but also to publicize The Young General.
Bo Yu knows Director Hou’s intention well, but he can’t show that he knows it. He avoids to occur in a gossip headline that tells he puts on airs and deliberately doesn’t attend the dinner.
As for Mo Anyu, he can justly reject the invitation. After all, his workload has been a lot. Moreover, he is not the protagonist in the web series, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t attend the dinner.
But he comes.
In the KTV’s private room at 9:00 p.m., Bo Yu stands at the door of the room and apologizes warmly to little Watermelon waking up from his dream on the phone. So, he doesn’t notice that Mo Anyu stands behind him. When Bo Yu turns around after hanging up, he is almost frightened.
“The child wakes up?” Mo Anyu lights up a cigarette with a lighter and gives a hint with the action. Then Bo Yu also holds a cigarette in his mouth.
Bo Yu answers, “Yes. I’ll be back soon. Please help me tell Director Hou.”
“Bo Ge, are you free tomorrow? May I visit my sister-in-law at your home?” Mo Anyu says causally, but only he knows how nervous he is.
Bo Yu is stunned and deliberately explains, “The child has no mother.”
Mo Anyu is also stunned, puts his hands in his pants pocket and grabs them all of a sudden, constantly restraining himself.
Bo Yu pretends to laugh deeply. “It happens that tomorrow I will also have a rest at home. If you are free, you can come. There are only two people at home.”
Mo Anyu nods, takes out a cigarette again when watching Bo Yu leaving. But his hands are trembling all the time. He can’t light the cigarette by the lighter.
Mo Anyu angrily throws the cigarette on the ground and stops smoking.
But the flame in his heart slowly kindles again.

After a night of excitement, Mo Anyu falls asleep until the wee hours. As soon as it is dawn, he immediately opens his eyes.
At nine o’clock, Mo Anyu arrives at Bo Yu’ home at a good time. He holds a large package of gifts with one hand and is ready to ring the doorbell with the other hand. He hesitates for a long time without pressing it.
He is inexplicably timid because of the first visit.
Bo Yu falls asleep late and wakes up late. At nine o’clock, he still lies in bed and doesn’t wake up. Little Watermelon and Dandan run around the living room.
When the doorbell rings, Bo Yu turns over in bed. The effect of soundproofing of the house is pretty good, so he doesn’t hear it at all.
Dandan with plastic bones in his mouth runs to the door and barks wickedly. His hairs are about to blow up.
Little Watermelon stands beside it with the little poker face, saying, “Who are you looking for?”
Mo Anyu is stunned outside. When he hears the boy’s voice coming from the room, he doesn’t react at once. Then he remembers that the boy in the room should be Bo Yu’s child.
Mo Anyu whispers in a soft voice, “Hello, I’m your father’s friend. Can you open the door for me?”
Little Watermelon panics, steps on the slippers, runs to the bedroom, climbs on the big bed, sits on Bo Yu’s chest and says, “Papa, Papa, there is an uncle outside.”
Bo Yu is sleeping in a daze. He feels that his chest is overwhelmed by a big stone. After hearing the nervous voice of little Watermelon, he opens his eyes and immediately becomes angry.
“You want to kill your father early in the morning?” Bo Yu relentlessly pushes little Watermelon away from his chest, sits up, fixes his messy hair, and steps out of bed, wearing the boxer only.
Little Watermelon keeps up with Bo Yu in a hurry. “Papa, Papa, there is an uncle outside.”
Bai is stunned for a moment. Then he goes to the porch and opens the door. He sees Mo Anyu who holds so many gifts, saying, “You come so early.”
Mo Anyu whose forehead sweats, laughs, shakes his head, and dares not looking at Bo Yu. He is afraid to see what he shouldn’t see. He says, “I have nothing to do at home. So, I come early”
Bo Yu suddenly realizes that he is only wearing the boxer right now. He says with the blush, “I’m going to change clothes. Little Watermelon, pour a cup of water to the guest.”
Dandan stands at the foot of little Watermelon and barks at Mo Anyu from time to time, showing the image of a dangerous dog in the house to the extreme.
Mo Anyu sits on the sofa with restraint. He doesn’t love the dog even if he loves the owner. Besides smiling at little Watermelon who he meets for the first time, he has no further action.
Little Watermelon stands quietly beside him, holding a cup of yoghurt in his hand. He wants to pass it to Mo Anyu, but he dares not. He can only stand aside and eagerly looks at Mo Anyu.
Bo Yu dresses quickly, wets his raised hair with cold water, and carelessly fixes hair before he comes out to meet the guest.
“What’s wrong?” Bo Yu sits on the sofa, hugs little Watermelon, kisses him on the face and asks.
Mo Anyu feels unhappy.
Little Watermelon shakes his head and holds the yogurt. So, Bo Yu thinks that he wants to drink the yogurt and doesn’t continue to ask.
“Let me pour you a glass of water. Would like have something to drink?” Bo Yu tries to break the embarrassment.
Little Watermelon takes a deep breath, then suddenly gives Mo Anyu the little bottle of yogurt in his hand and says eagerly, “Brother, drink it.”
Mo Anyu is stunned. He doesn’t like yogurt, so he wants to refuse. But when he unwittingly finds that little Watermelon eagerly stares at himself with the ingratiating facial expression, he involuntarily puts out his hands and takes the yogurt. “Thank you.”
This child really looks like Bo Yu.
It’s hard for Mo Anyu to reject him.
