You can't post this photo on Weibo.

Why not?

Aren't you afraid of scaring your fans?

I'll just blur it out.

You don't post on Weibo often.

What's up with you lately?

Just in a good mood all of a sudden.

"A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream"

(Episode 3: Ji Zongjun)

Want anything else to eat?

This is enough.

[A fan is asking why he blurred the first photo]

[Ji Zongjun asks who made the meal]

There's a problem.

I made a post on Weibo.

It said, "Unstoppable momentum."

Then Shi Yuhao posted one too.

It said, "Clear skies."

The "shi" in "momentum" sounds like his last name, Shi.

So the fans are interpreting it as us being together again.

That's what fans do, isn't it?

But I don't want to be misunderstood.

I don't want what the fans see...

to be completely different from what they're guessing.

It's not fair to them.

Then do you dare tell them the truth?

It's not that I don't dare to, I can't.

If I told them,

the ones who believe would get hurt.

And the ones who don't believe would just start fighting.

Some truths are just destined to never be told.

Can you delete it?

I always thought your account...

was managed by your company.

Not entirely. I post myself when I have free time.

The company handles most of the business-related posts.

Just eat. Don't post recklessly next time.

Their interpretation has no real evidence.

Tell him if he doesn't want to act, he can get out.

If we change the script to his demands,

will the show even be watchable?

The crew over at Lengdian is causing trouble again.

That actor Qi Haoyu's company swapped in...

keeps trying to change the script.

He won't act if we don't change it.

We're not putting up with that.

How many big productions are even running right now?

If he doesn't want the part,

there's a line of people who do.

He's not a big star, but he's a big pain.

You never should have agreed to the swap.

Haven't we learned our lesson from what we went through with Shi Yuhao?

Qi Haoyu's acting is genuinely good, though.

What are you doing?

You're sending me to Molie...

it's not like it's goodbye forever.

There's something I've been meaning to tell you.

No outsiders knew that Qinglang was in Molie.

But Shi Yuhao managed to find him there.

That means he has a source who can get information from our side.

Who do you suspect?

Sister Jialin, Sister Lan, I'm here for tomorrow's call sheet.

Aren't you eating?

Mmm, so good.

Someone's analyzing that photo.

They're saying the blurry figure is Shi Yuhao.

The one you took of me.

This is infuriating.

Dare to post it?

I don't dare.

Xiao Tanzi.

Are my lips swollen?

Your lips have always been pretty full.

Ugh, it's itchy.

Did I get bitten by a bug?

You're allergic to protein.

But it never happened before.

You just never ate enough of it before.

Couldn't find any cotton swabs.

Ow, my neck.

How long will this take to go down?

It'll go down once the bugs are out of your system.

But I have a livestream to do.

How about I get you a muzzle?

I'll get you a muzzle.

Let me see.

Only your eyes look normal.

Everywhere else is all swollen.

The swelling needs air.

You need to cool down. No meat today.

I'm not looking. Just take it off.

Did I go too hard on Shi Yuhao before?

Is this my karma?

Bad karma from my words. I really shouldn't speak ill of others.

You just held back what you should have said for seven years.

The two things aren't related.

Do you believe in Buddhism?

I believe in cause and effect.

That wolf I saved back then...

I don't know if it survived.

But later, my cousin's dog got sick.

The vet said there was no hope.

A few days later, it miraculously got better on its own.

It lived for another three years before it passed.

I've always felt that some things in nature are connected.

The deeper you go into the forest,

the deeper that connection becomes.

Ah.

So that's why you never wanted to go back to the city for school.

You wanted to stay in the mountains.

You can study anywhere.

In the city, you deal with people.

In the mountains, you commune with nature.

Which one do you think is purer?

I get it now.

This is nature helping me purify my body.

Is there any side of you I haven't seen?

You've never seen me swollen like this.

Let me see how bad it is.

No need.

I know how to get the swelling down.

Don't run. The path is slippery in the morning.

I want to find that little stream.

There's a big log under that stream.

Rope.

What are you doing?

Tying it on.

You tie it on too.

I won't tie it. I'll hold it.

Follow me.

No way.

It's like you're walking a dog.

Fine. Let's go.

We're here.

Being tied together has its pros and cons.

If we walk together, there are no cons.

Be careful.

Okay.

Can meditation reduce swelling?

It can.

Don't fall asleep. It's cold in the mountains.

You was dreaming.

Just now, in my dream,

you walked very far away.

It was like you were acting in a play.

The swelling's gone.

While I was meditating just now,

I felt like I'd lived through a century.

And at the beginning and end of that century,

you were there.

The stream is on.

Coming!

This is the tree that's 80,000 per kilogram.

A few years ago, when the economy was good,

the tea farmers were very wealthy.

How is that any different from owning a mine?

Of course it's different. Changyang.

Why don't you tell my brother what the difference is between a tea farmer and a mine owner.

Minerals are a non-renewable resource.

Tea trees are renewable.

A mine owner gets rich by extracting and taking.

A tea farmer, however, needs to constantly cultivate.

Only then can they produce good tea.

The wild grass that grows around the tea trees...

the farmers have to weed it.

But they can't remove it all.

They have to maintain the balance of the natural ecosystem.

That's how the tea trees can grow better.

This is the symbiosis between the tea trees and the wild grass.

If you don't pick the leaves, the tree won't grow.

But if you pick too many, you'll harm the tree.

The tea trees and the wild grass.

I want to go up and see too.

Come on.

What are these racks for?

You stand on them when you're picking tea.

That's how you can reach the higher leaves.

Can we climb any higher?

You want to climb?

Here, you go ahead.

Hey.

Let's go home first.

Such bad luck.

Did I offend the mountain spirit?

I threw up as soon as I got to the mountains.

My back cramped up, and my face got swollen.

And now my foot is swollen.

Rebirth comes at a price.

Were you like this when you first came to the mountains?

Felt like I died seven or eight times.

The mountain spirit is wary of outsiders.

It has to accept you as one of its own first.

Why are you taking a picture of me?

Don't send it to Mom.

I'm sending it to someone who cares about you.

Like who?

Brother Wenshu.

Why would you send it to him?

He asks me for a picture of you every day.

I've been putting him off for days.

I can't exactly tell him...

that you're living with his little brother every day, can I?

Put them on yourself.

Go ahead and send it.

How did you sprain your ankle?

I jumped down from a tree.

And someone failed to catch me.

I'll leave you two to talk.

He's gone. I'm hanging up.

If I stay any longer,

I'll be black and blue all over.

Before the livestream,

you're staying put at home.

I'll make you the plainest meals.

No more coffee, and cut back on the tea.

You might as well just tell me to fast.

What are you doing?

Taking you upstairs.

I have work to do.

I'm staying on the first floor.

No. Upstairs. Time for bed.

When you wake up, your foot will be better.

You're not that old,

but you give off such a domestic vibe.

Not anymore.

[He's using a nasty AI manga filter to take a picture of himself for some reason]

[He's posting the photo on Weibo with some obtuse caption]

[Ji Zongjun instantly replies, remarking that he's in the mountains]

[Between wind, fire, moon and sky.]

[More obtuse posting while his fans go crazy]

[Ji Zongjun: Am I your flying bird?]

Your foot's all better.

You...

Hungry? What do you want to eat?

I want termite mushrooms.

We don't have any today.

[Now he's manic posting about how he wants to eat termite mushrooms]

[Ji Zongjun: They come out when it rains]

[He's asking this random poster when it's going to rain???]

Damn, what is Lang Di doing? This is bad.

Shi Ji Zong.

What is this hashtag?

I came up with a ship name.

And I even drew a fan logo.

YuLu Haohan.

A boundless future.

Brilliant, right?

Explain the logo.

You think we're definitely going to get famous?

If not for fame,

who would film this?

So what happens after we get famous?

After we get famous...

Sigh... let's worry about that when it happens.

Explain it.

Sister Lan.

Lang Di gets into trouble whenever I'm not around.

What is it now?

My Weibo post just handed someone else a victory.

I saw.

What's with the sudden outburst?

Was it an outburst?

I've never seen you like this.

You're someone who can go half a month without a single post.

Forget it. I just wanted to vent. I'm hanging up.

Hey, can you show your investor some respect?

I'll respect you when we start shooting the next movie.

Come in.

There really are no termite mushrooms.

When is it going to rain?

How should I know?

Just make whatever you want.

Mm.

Someone posted all of Ji Zongjun's comments

to Lang Di from the past two years.

The earliest one was when Lang Di won an award two years ago.

It was under his acceptance speech.

Watching you.

That really does sound like something Shi Yuhao would say.

Most fans would just say something like, "I look up to you."

Shi Yuhao and Qinglang debuted together.

Only he would use a phrase like "watching you."

Sister Lan, what this fan is saying makes sense.

You believe everything the fans say?

Termite mushrooms are a specialty of Tianyi.

What does that have to do with Shi Yuhao?

If you're telling me this Ji Zongjun

only started following Qinglang in the last couple of days,

then I might believe he's Shi Yuhao.

That's true.

Replying so openly like this,

Lang Di must know who he is.

No, I have to call Lang Di.

Oh my god.

He posted again. This is killing me.

Is Lang Di about to make things official?

[Another manic post and caption on Weibo]

[Ji Zongjun matches his mania with a similar response]

[Now they're going back and forth with their silly little quotes]

Jiaozi, Jiaozi!

Help me find out what book this quote is from.

When the termite mushroom breaks through the soil,

the treasures of the mountains can rival any delicacy from the sea.

This quote is from a novel by the author Shenlai Zhibi.

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream.

The first half of the sentence is,

My distant tea mountains

gaze upon his sea from thousands of miles away.

Sister Lan, look.

Lang Di just posted about this book,

and it's already sold out.

Come downstairs. Dinner's ready.

Ah, so Qinglang is the sea,

and Shi Yuhao is the mountain.

What a divine metaphor!

Stop forcing the connection.

They said it in the behind-the-scenes footage.

They both like mountains.

What does this Weibo post have to do with Shi Yuhao?

My 7-year ship has just gone official!

Is this a miracle? Did the sun just rise in the west?

It can't be Shi Yuhao.

Shi Yuhao is uncultured.

He never reads.

How would he possibly know about such an obscure book?

Who are you calling uncultured?

Didn't you say there were no termite mushrooms?

I have the termite mushroom oil I made a couple of days ago.

You've completely spoiled my palate.

I won't be able to stand the boxed lunches on set anymore.

Are you planning to post on Weibo all night?

I'll stop after dinner.

Who is Ji Zongjun?

Not sure.

The arm in that last GIF, that's him, right?

Maybe?

Keep your eyes open.

Don't get fooled. Hanging up.

Sister Lan, why didn't you just ask Lang Di

what that "Yi Cao" meant?

What "Yi Cao"?

Oh, Sister, the Super Topic is blowing up.

Lang Di posted a "1" and the letter "C."

You have no idea how the fans are interpreting it.

The "Yi Cao" shippers are saying the "1" is Shi Yuhao.

Spreading rumors about what they do in bed.

They're completely clueless. [♪gay sigh♪]

Call Qingtian.

Hurry up and eat. The noodles are getting soggy.

Did you see the Weibo post I just made?

You posted again?

[Ji Zongjun: Congrats on getting to eat some]

Hello?

Hello, Brother Guo?

Oh my god.

Bro, can I ask you something?

Are you in the mountains?

Did you find a new assistant for Lang Di?

No new assistant. Are you kidding?

No one can shake Brother Guo's position.

Oh, I'm dying of anxiety here.

Sister Lan has me stuck on set.

Lang Di went into the mountains, and I have no idea where he's run off to.

He's not even answering me.

Who's been taking care of Lang Di these past few days?

A friend of mine in Molie. A tea farmer.

A tea farmer? Can he handle it? Isn't he clumsy?

Changyang is not clumsy at all.

He can do anything.

Okay, I get it. God. Hanging up.

Sister Lan, case closed.

Ruyuan Yi Cao.

Wish come true.

Let me see that picture again.

Oh, this arm belongs to that tea farmer.

Looks pretty strong.

How far have they gotten?

They won't let me into the mountains,

so I'll just ship them from here.

Go into the mountains with me tomorrow morning, Ji Zongjun.

You're obsessed with termite mushrooms.

Deeply obsessed.

Who is it?

Are you crazy?

Lu, open the door.

What are you doing?

Rehearse tomorrow's scene with me.

[He's posting about termite mushrooms on Weibo yet again!!!!!!!!]

[Ji Zongjun is matching his freak with his response]

I was so tired last night,

I didn't even notice you didn't come back to the room.

At this point, you're supposed to put your leg on mine.

Move over.

Do you ever fall for someone while filming a show?

Even if you can't stand them in real life?

Is that a line?

It's not a line.

I'm asking you.

There's no kissing in this scene.

Let's ask the director to add one.

Lu, come back to bed.

A bear! There's a bear!

Run!

Was that a bear just now?

Yes.

Is that considered an early bird?

It has a clear call.

The birds that call at night are even clearer.

What's the difference between early birds and night birds?

Night birds usually call to find a mate.

During mating season, their calls are even more intense.

Hey.

Is the mushroom soup ready to drink?

If you drink it now, I'll be responsible for taking you to the hospital.

Will I see little people?

You'll meet your maker.

I want to see the little people.

I don't have that kind of power.

But I've seen it.

What was it like?

Like this.

I kept scooping and scooping.

My cousin said I was doing it all night.

What did you see?

I saw a big red carp.

I wanted to scoop it up.

It was in a pond that was almost dry.

It was dying.

Changyang.

Do you like men?

Does it matter?

Answer me directly.

You're very clever.

Dodging questions you don't want to answer with another question.

Hey, don't run off.

I'll ask you again.

Do you like men?

Is it that important?

Fine.

From now on, I won't answer your questions.

And you don't have to answer mine.

We'll just stick to statements.

I'm not trying to brush you off.

I can't make promises about things I haven't figured out.

Do you need to "figure out" if you like men?

Did I ask you for a promise?

I just asked you a simple question.

You don't dare answer the question.

But you're brave enough to sneak around behind my back.

Who was it that set their computer password to...

my birthday and won't admit it?

Whose browser history is full of my movies?

Xu Changyang, you've got the nerve to want it, but not the guts to admit it.

You're cut from the same cloth as Shi Yuhao.

Don't play games with me.

The only way you get out of this is if I let you.

The clothes are washed.

Brush the shoes.

Call me when dinner's ready.

We're all actors. If we just want to survive, there's no future.

But I really like you...

Do you not understand what I'm saying?

You're always caught up in some bizarre emotions.

This one's mine, right? I'm a bigger size.

This shirt looks like mine, too.

Is your grandpa's wife big too?

Grandpa's wife?

Who's that?

Holy crap, Han Lu.

Whose wife is big?

Hmm?

Ah, let's go.

For the past 20 years, tea has been sold...

by emphasizing its cultural significance.

And marketed to high-net-worth individuals.

The idea was to promote it as a collectible.

But that consumer market is already saturated.

And the market for the younger generation is still untapped.

So now, selling tea has to align with...

the lifestyle of today's youth.

Live in the moment.

Enjoy the present.

If you have good tea, you don't have to hide it away.

Drink it whenever you want.

Mr. Feng, your insights are very unique.

Just what you'd expect from a big star.

No, it's just my humble opinion.

I just have a better understanding of consumer psychology.

My brother has a master's degree in business from abroad.

It's rare for you to praise me.

This time, we have Qingtian to thank...

for getting Mr. Feng to do a livestream for us.

The tea business hasn't been doing well these past two years.

We tea farmers can't sell our tea.

In a business that depends on the weather...

the tea farmers are going hungry.

Changyang, take my brother to see the warehouse.

Teacher Fu can take me.

I'm really not as knowledgeable as Changyang.

Which tea is where...

Changyang knows best.

The tea stored here is aged ripe pu'er.

From the 90s to the 2000s.

Over here is the raw pu'er.

This row is tea stored from the 70s.

I don't need to know all this.

At first, we planned to organize it by region.

But considering that tea from different regions...

can be hard for drinkers to distinguish...

except for types like Molie and Xigui.

Molie tea has a strong 'cha qi'.

It's bold, like a general.

Xigui has a heavy floral aroma.

It's known as the 'dancing tea'.

I don't need a lecture from you.

The total inventory in the warehouse is 17 tons.

We plan to use one ton to make...

blended flavors that young people will like.

If the market response is good...

I already know all this.

If you really don't know what to say...

then don't say anything. Just lead the way.
