Chapter 41

After finishing his performance on the MNET stage, Li Yuhao immediately left the MNET TV station and rushed to KBS to record the program "Star Golden Bell," which continued until the early hours of the morning. Only then did Li Yuhao return home to rest. After a mere three hours of sleep, he got up and continued with his schedule... This was the first time Li Yuhao truly experienced the hardships of being a celebrity in Korea. For several days, Li Yuhao had less than four hours of sleep each night.

Every day, he would set off early in the morning to start his busy schedule, which included commercial performances, opening ceremonies, magazine shoots, news interviews, program recordings, song promotions, and the soul-crushing signing events. Li Yuhao's daily life was like that of a robot; as soon as he opened his eyes, he would start with makeup, styling, and appearing on programs. In the car, he would eat a quick snack to fill his stomach and then fall asleep... only to wake up and face the camera again.

A week passed, and Li Yuhao's total sleep time was less than 25 hours. It was clear that he was extremely busy. At first, Li Yuhao was not used to sleeping in the car, but after two days of a packed schedule, he naturally adapted to the mobile life, eating and sleeping in the car. Li Yuhao also learned to seize every moment of free time to catch up on his sleep. During this week, he did not have a proper meal.

One day, Li Yuhao was lying on the sofa in the SBS Popular Song's rest room, covered with a blanket, catching up on some sleep. A camera crew entered and focused on the sleeping Li Yuhao. Two minutes later, his phone rang. The deeply asleep Li Yuhao did not hear the ring, and it was his agent who tapped his shoulder and said, "Yuhao, your phone is ringing."

Li Yuhao did not open his eyes, maintaining his sleeping position, and groggily answered the phone, placing it to his ear. "Hello..." Just as Li Yuhao said "Hello," the other party spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, "Hello, this is Liu Zai Shi from the family..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuhao immediately hung up the phone, and the busy tone echoed in Liu Zai Shi's ears. "What? He hung up?"

Li Yuhao's quick hang-up left his agent puzzled. "Yuhao, who called?" Li Yuhao, still with his eyes closed, said, "A scam call, claiming to be Liu Zai Shi..." After saying this, Li Yuhao turned over and continued sleeping. The audience burst into laughter when they saw this on the show.

Li Yuhao's agent also said, "Yuhao, don't you remember you have to shoot 'Family Outing'?" Hearing this, Li Yuhao immediately woke up, sat up, and saw a camera pointing at him. The VJ laughed. Li Yuhao quickly apologized, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I'll call Liu Zai Shi senior."

Li Yuhao called back, and Liu Zai Shi answered. Li Yuhao immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Liu Zai Shi senior, I thought it was a scam call, so I hung up. I'm sorry..."

Liu Zai Shi, thinking Li Yuhao was intentionally creating an effect, laughed and repeated the address, "To all the family members, this is Liu Zai Shi. This time, our family is going to Gyeongbuk Andong Jaseong Village. We will meet in front of the Jaseong Village Community Hall by 10 AM tomorrow. Not a single person can be absent. That's all." Li Yuhao immediately responded, "Oh, goodbye," and hung up.

Liu Zai Shi, on the other end of the phone, said with a mix of laughter and frustration, "Wow... Li Yuhao hung up even faster than I did? Hahaha... It seems he has a good sense of variety show."

Li Yuhao hung up and checked the call duration. "Good thing it was under a minute, or I would have to pay extra for the call." The audience burst into laughter again.

After the VJ left, Li Yuhao fell back onto the sofa and started sleeping again.

......

The next day, Li Yuhao finally had a good night's sleep, having slept for five hours the previous night. He got into the car and headed to the shooting location for "Family Outing." "Sir, can you stop at a bakery first? I need some bread and milk. I haven't eaten yet, and I've been hungry since last night."

"Sure, I saw you on the phone with Liu Zai Shi yesterday. You have a good sense of humor. Try to do well today."

"Okay... I understand. This is the happiest shooting schedule I've had in days. I can have a good meal and a good sleep in the family." Li Yuhao was very satisfied with the "two days and one night" shooting schedule, which was much more comfortable than having four events every day.

In front of the village hall, Liu Zai Shi was already waiting for the MCs and guests. When Liu Zai Shi and the others saw Taeyeon arrive, they were extremely excited, hugging and shouting, "A girl, a female guest. Taeyeon... Taeyeon is here."

Lee Hyori couldn't stand it anymore. "Are you that happy?" Liu Zai Shi and the others continued to cheer, "Wow... a woman, a female guest. Our family finally has a female guest." Taeyeon was very embarrassed, nodding politely to the seniors.

After the excitement, Liu Zai Shi and the others returned to their hosting positions. Lee Hyori said, "Have you never seen a woman before? That's embarrassing."

Just then, another limousine arrived. Lee Hyori called out, "Hmm~~~~ Are there more guests today? Is it another woman?" The limousine stopped in front of everyone, and Li Yuhao got out. Lee Hyori and Park Yijin exclaimed, "Wow... wow... a big star, a real big star. It's Li Yuhao, it's Li Yuhao."

Li Yuhao immediately started bowing and greeting the seniors, "Hello, hello..." When he reached Liu Zai Shi, he bowed and greeted him, "Liu Zai Shi senior, hello, I'm the new member Li Yuhao. Please take care of me." "Lee Hyori senior, hello."

Li Yuhao saw Taeyeon and said, "Oh, Taeyeon, you're here too." Taeyeon smiled and nodded at Li Yuhao.

Liu Zai Shi also smiled and said, "Dae Sung, Li Yuhao is here. You're in trouble today."

Lee Hyori also asked Li Yuhao with a smile, "Li Yuhao, are you close with Taeyeon?" Li Yuhao smiled and nodded, "Yes, Lee Hyori senior, I knew Taeyeon privately before my debut, and we often keep in touch." Li Yuhao shielded his eyes from the sun and said to Taeyeon, "Taeyeon, can I borrow your 'straw hat'?"

Taeyeon took off her straw hat and gave it to Li Yuhao. Liu Zai Shi also smiled mischievously, "It seems you two are really close."

Just then, another limousine arrived. Liu Zai Shi said, "It's the elders' car, the elders are here." Yoon Jong Shin also got out of the car with a smile, and Li Yuhao bowed and greeted him, "Yoon Jong Shin senior, hello, I'm the new member Li Yuhao."

Yoon Jong Shin also smiled and said, "I know you, you're the current big star. 'Snow Flower' is great. Can you perform it live for us today?"

Li Yuhao smiled and agreed, "Sure!"

Seeing the sun was very strong, Liu Zai Shi called everyone to a roadside pavilion to wait for the last arrival, Li Tianxi. Li Yuhao naturally sat next to Taeyeon, who asked, "You must be very tired lately?"

Li Yuhao pouted and said, "Yes, I can only sleep for about four hours a day. If I can get an extra ten minutes, I would beg for it. These days, I have four to five events, filling my day from 6 AM to 2 or 3 AM, mainly due to a lack of sleep."

Liu Zai Shi, seeing Li Yuhao and Taeyeon chatting, planned to create some "pink" between them.

Soon, Li Tianxi arrived. Li Yuhao greeted him, "Li Tianxi, hello, I'm the new member Li Yuhao." Li Tianxi also smiled and shook hands with Li Yuhao.

Liu Zai Shi introduced, "Tianxi, this is Taeyeon from Girls' Generation." Taeyeon nodded at Li Tianxi, and Li Tianxi extended his hand to shake hers. Liu Zai Shi immediately slapped away Li Tianxi's hand, "What are you doing? You need to be more observant." Liu Zai Shi then looked at Li Yuhao and Taeyeon.

"Oh~~~~~" Li Tianxi also called out in a strange tone. The family members understood Liu Zai Shi's intention to create "pink" between Li Yuhao and Kim Taeyeon.

Kim Taeyeon was very embarrassed by the "Oh" and wrinkled her nose, staring at Li Yuhao.

With everyone present, Liu Zai Shi led the group to the grandmother's house for the day.

The traditional Korean house, nestled among the green mountains and clear waters, had a unique charm, as if they were in the Joseon era. Li Yuhao looked at their "home" for the day and exclaimed, "This place is really beautiful. The blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and the river in the distance. It makes us, who live in the noisy city, feel particularly refreshed and uplifted."

Liu Zai Shi also smiled and said to Li Yuhao, "Wow... no wonder you're a top student from Seoul University. You immediately used such beautiful words to describe it... hehe."

As they chatted and laughed, the "house owner" came out, and everyone started greeting them.

Liu Zai Shi also smiled and commented on the "house owner's" house, "Your house is really beautiful..."
