The online voting group admin Lily tagged Emily Bennett in the fan club group: President, did we recruit a poet? The official account’s copywriting is just too good!

Little Olivia wants to work hard and get stronger: Thanks for the compliment, it’s the president herself.

As the actors found their groove, the filming progress improved a lot, and the whole crew was filled with joy. Everyone’s fondness for Emily Bennett soared. During breaks, the three leads and two supporting actors would team up to play Honor of Kings together.

At first, only Emily Bennett was playing. Edward Grant saw and insisted on joining, but Edward Grant wasn’t very skilled, so Emily Bennett couldn’t carry him alone. They called in the third male lead from the show to help, and by the end of the afternoon, they’d managed to carry the “gold rank noob” Edward Grant up to diamond.

When Anna Foster saw this, he was immediately unhappy—he wanted to reach diamond too.

So they gathered enough people for a five-player team and started battling in the King’s Canyon.

Unexpectedly, in the very first game, Anna Foster and Edward Grant started fighting over who would play Cai Wenji.

Emily Bennett was so annoyed that she kicked each of them and shouted, “Two grown men fighting over a healer—aren’t you ashamed?”

Edward Grant said, “I only know how to play healers!”

Anna Foster said, “I just like the feeling of saving lives!”

In the end, with Emily Bennett mediating, Edward Grant played Cai Wenji, Anna Foster settled for another support, Zhuang Zhou. The other two actors took marksman and mage, and Emily Bennett picked the assassin Lanling King to carry the team.

The crew’s PR would often post daily behind-the-scenes moments to keep up the buzz, so they filmed a video of the five of them gaming together and uploaded it to the official Weibo of “Mad Words,” along with a screenshot of their match stats. As usual, netizens started by bashing Emily Bennett, then began speculating based on the stats.

——Cai Wenji and Zhuang Zhou? Two supports? If this lineup still won, Lanling King must have worked really hard.

——Shoutout to Lanling King! Playing this well, it’s got to be Anna Foster!

——This Cai Wenji: 0 kills, 3 assists, 12 deaths—might as well not be there! That’s definitely Emily Bennett!

——Why are Shen Shen and Qing Qing playing with Emily Bennett? She’s everywhere, so annoying.

Until that night, when a netizen suddenly commented:

——Listen carefully to the audio in the video. Did Emily Bennett say, “Edward Grant, heal me?” And at 6:29, Emily Bennett tells Anna Foster to hang in there, she’ll help after getting blue buff. Oh my god, is Lanling King actually Emily Bennett?

Netizens immediately replayed the video, listening closely.

After listening, they were all stunned.

——I can’t believe my eyes.

——Edward Grant really let me down! If you play Cai Wenji like that, just don’t embarrass yourself!

——I can’t imagine the usually cool Anna Foster playing Zhuang Zhou, swaying back and forth.

——Sorry, but I actually started to like Emily Bennett a little… just because of a match stat screenshot…

Emily Bennett scrolled through the comments, quietly smiled, and kept her achievements hidden.

She had thought there would be some friction joining the crew for the first time, but unexpectedly, the two leads she met were both great people.

Edward Grant looked like a mischievous bad boy, but in reality, he was like a little kid. After getting close to Emily Bennett, even his manager couldn’t get his attention—he just stuck to Emily Bennett.

Anna Foster might seem aloof, but he deeply admired Emily Bennett’s drive and hard work. Though he still acted cool and didn’t talk much, he liked hanging out with Emily Bennett during downtime. He realized all the online rumors about Emily Bennett were completely wrong—this girl was witty, straightforward, loyal, and knowledgeable about all sorts of things.

So, this scene often played out on set:

Wherever Emily Bennett went, Anna Foster and Edward Grant would follow like two little shadows. And the two of them didn’t get along, always giving each other the side-eye—definitely the type to bicker.

When the PR team leader was filming behind-the-scenes footage, he asked James Foster, “Look over there—doesn’t it look like Emily Bennett is leading around two silly sons?”

James Foster replied, “I think it looks more like the two of them are fighting for her attention.”

Meanwhile, the two “silly sons” fighting for attention started arguing again—this time about what to eat for dinner. Emily Bennett propped her chin on her hand, reading the script, when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

She made a “shh” gesture, and the two immediately fell silent.

She answered the call, and a calm male voice came through the receiver: “Hello.”

She immediately stood up, unable to hide the joy in her voice: “Henry Clark!”

“…You have my number?”

“No! I recognized your voice.”

Henry Clark was silent for a few seconds. “Give me an address, I’ll mail you the tickets.”

“You’re starting tour rehearsals?”

“Yeah.”

Emily Bennett thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, “Can I add you on WeChat? I’ll send you the address there.”

Henry Clark said, “Sure.”

She was so excited she stomped her feet. On the other end, Henry Clark asked calmly, “Is filming going well?”

“It’s going great! Everything’s fine, you don’t need to worry about me!”
