In the early morning of early autumn, the cool breeze blows gently.

Little Watermelon takes off his pants to the knees and sits on the toilet with a serious expression.

Dandan opens door ajar and comes in, getting down on the ground and staring at little Watermelon.

Bo Yu walks in, kicks Dandan incidentally and draws some tissues, “little Watermelon, come here! Wipe your bottom.”

“Oh.” Little Watermelon answers and then obediently comes over to him.

On seeing that, Bo Yu quickly put down the lid of the toilet and pushes the button.

Dandan stops by the toilet, looking alienated.

“Papa, what happened to Dandan?”

“The leopard cannot change his spots. Remember to close the door next time when you go to the bathroom.” Bo Yu watches little Watermelon wipe his bottom. Then Bo Yu wipes it again.

It is the first day of work today, and Bo Yu can’t be late. So, in the early morning, he sends little Watermelon to the preschool class.

This is the first time that little Watermelon is away from Bo Yu. It is hard for him to express his fear. He tightly holds the edge of Bo Yu’s clothes by his fingers and says tearfully, “Papa, will you take me home?”

Kids are always restless when they firstly leave their parents. Especially, little Watermelon is only more than one year old now.

Because Bo Yu cannot stay with little Watermelon at work, he has no choice but to say coldly, “Of course. Call me when you miss me. If you forget it, ask the teacher to call me.

After a pause, Bo Yu continues, “little Watermelon, let me go. I’m going to make money for you to marry your wife in the future.”

The young female teacher of the preschool class walks over and feels Bo Yu’s face familiar at the sight of him, but she cannot recall him for a while and says, “Hello, I’m Chen Tingting, responsible for taking care of your baby.”.

After introducing herself briefly, Ms. Chen bends down and says gently, “What’s your name, baby? I'm Teacher Tingting. May I show you around? There are many children here.”

Little Watermelon is unwilling to leave Bo Yu but turns his head, “Hello, teacher. My name is little Watermelon.”

Knowing that this is the first time for little Watermelon to have classes alone, Ms. Chen doesn’t let him stay with his father long and quickly takes him into the classroom.

Bo Yu looks at the back of little Watermelon’s head, feeling a sense of loss.

But that feeling is short-lived.

After clearing up his feeling, Bo Yu goes to work by a new car that costs only 100,000 yuan.

[Tingfeng Agency]

Bo Yu takes out his sunglasses and a mask, and wears them expertly. He rapidly walks towards the hall of the agency.

Tingfeng Agency recruits a group of potential trainees every year.

This year is no exception. So, Bo Yu attracts many people’s attention as soon as he walks into the hall of the agency.

“Who is that? Wearing a mask, he might get a heatstroke.”

“He doesn’t look like a big name, but he seems familiar.”

“Sh, he seems to be Bo Yu. By the way, I remember that Bo Yu is blacklisted by the agency. Why has he come here?”

“Ahh, he is Bo Yu. Well, he doesn’t have any reason to come back after he is forced out by the agency. Why does he wear a mask? There are no paparazzi to take photographs of him.”

Bo Yu takes no notice of what trainees say and takes the elevator to look for his manager with a calm look.

Bo Yu starts his film career at 16. His debut film is a campus idol film, adapted from a romance. Because of the popular film, he becomes a first-class male star and wins great popularity at that time.

But his first manager is not cut out for creating movie stars. Bo Yu’s popularity declines by the next terrible films, and he loses his fame later.

At 20, Bo Yu, who loses his fame, causes a stir in entertainment again because of a role of the detective in a mystery film.

Bo Yu who is born gay meets and falls in love with his wicked ex-boyfriend soon. He forgets everything in the honeymoon.

Bo Yu: If he knows that he will get the skill of giving birth to a baby, he will never choose the position on bottom.

At 22, Bo Yu’s wicked ex-boyfriend comes back. Bo Yu decisively breaks up with him, and they separate.

However, Bo Yu finds that there is a baby in his belly at that time.

The baby is five months old in his bulging belly. The embryo grows up like a meat ball. The young quack advises Bo Yu who disguises in the female attire not to have an abortion but try to give birth to a baby.

Bo Yu has no choice but give up his career. He has been away with his baby in the belly for two years.

Mr. Zhang, the manager, wipes his glasses and calmly looks at Bo Yu, “Where have you been in these two years?”

“... I remember that I still have two years left on my contract with the agency.” Bo Yu ignores his question on purpose, “I come back to work. I’m sorry about what happened before.”

“Two years are enough to make entertainment circles shuffle again and again and generate batches of trainees.” Mr. Zhang is very angry, ”Bo Yu, compared with your popularity two years ago, you are back to nothing now!”

“And, the agency hopes that you will give us a reasonable explanation.” Mr. Zhang says calmly, “You leave without any reason and explanation. As your manager, I cannot explain to the agency.”

“Something bad happened at home.” Bo Yu is too paniced to consider those things at that time. Now he can only say deliberately, “I’m sorry to have caused trouble to the agency.”

“Let’s forget it.” Mr. Zhang knows that he cannot get answers. He has to give up, “Don’t make any trouble since you’ve come back.”

“It’s just that a huge gap exists between your popularity now and two years ago.” Mr. Zhang analyzes the situation, “Don’t have a fantasy to appear in popular films or play the leading male role. You can only play a supporting role in the film.”

“I will try my best.” Bo Yu has no choices. “As for the two years of your disappearance, the agency announces that you go abroad for further study according to the email you send before.” Mr. Zhang adjusts his glasses and says, “I remember that you can speak some German. Don't betray your identity.”

“OK.” Bo Yu sighs, “I want to read the script.”

Mr. Zhang frowns.
