Yang Mi found it unbelievable—she had actually become friends with Hermione!
Even more incredible, she was now a guest at Martin's luxurious London apartment.
Oh, don't get the wrong idea. She wasn't the only one there. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), and several other young actors were also present.
"Does Martin do this often?" Yang Mi asked curiously.
Daniel Radcliffe nodded. "Yeah, he often gathers us together like this so we can bond. He also keeps reminding us—'We're a family, and we don't bully each other.'"
Rupert Grint chimed in, "I think he does it mainly because of Emma. She loves playing pranks. Every new cast member has been a victim—except for you!"
He turned to Yang Mi with a puzzled look. "Weird… Martin seems to treat you differently. Are you one of his girlfriends?"
"Hey, don't say that!" Before Yang Mi could respond, Daniel Radcliffe protested. "I have to fall in love with Cho Chang in the movie. If you say that, how am I supposed to get into character?"
Yang Mi gave Daniel a skeptical look. This guy is really short...
Then she asked curiously, "Martin has a lot of girlfriends? Care to share?"
Rupert immediately shook his head like a drum. "No, no, no! Absolutely not! You can find out for yourself, but I can't gossip."
"Tsk, you're loyal," Yang Mi scoffed.
"Of course! It's Martin we're talking about! If he let me be his follower, I'd crawl over and lick his toes!"
"Ew, that's disgusting!"
"Yeah, that's gross. Get away from us," Daniel pushed Rupert's head away. Then he turned to Yang Mi. "You still haven't answered the question."
"What question?"
"Are you one of Martin's girlfriends?" Daniel was genuinely curious.
Yang Mi's eyes twinkled mischievously. "Martin personally picked me for this role. What do you think?"
This girl clearly knew how to take advantage of the situation.
Daniel looked disappointed. "I was hoping we could have a real-life romance. It would help us get into character!"
"Tch, I don't like little boys." Yang Mi wrinkled her nose.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not a little boy! I'm older than both of them!" Daniel pointed at Rupert and then at Emma, who was clinging to Martin nearby.
Rupert, annoyed, gestured at their heights. "Who are you calling a little boy?"
"Ugh, damn it!"
Height was a sore subject for Daniel. And it would remain so… forever.
Yang Mi burst out laughing. She really liked the atmosphere of this cast.
Then she suddenly thought of Liu Yifei.
If she knew I not only met Martin but also became friends with Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger… how would she feel? Would she be jealous of me?
Hehehe!
She knew that Liu Yifei was also a huge Harry Potter fan.
Alright, I've decided! I'm going to write her a letter!
Dear Yifei,
How's the Return of the Condor Heroes set? I miss you a lot here in London.
I'm doing great on the Harry Potter set. Everyone is really nice, and I've made friends with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint.
I even met Martin! He invited me to his London home as a guest. Oh, don't get the wrong idea—he didn't just invite me. He invited all the young actors in the cast.
Martin is so handsome. He looks even better up close. I didn't dare stare at him during auditions, but this time, I secretly admired him for a long time. Hehe.
Oh, you won't believe this—Emma Watson has a secret crush on Martin! Her eyes light up every time she sees him.
Well, I can't blame her. Martin is just so charming!
…
That's all for now. How's everything at Return of the Condor Heroes? Write back!
When Liu Yifei received Yang Mi's letter, she was actually quite happy and eagerly wrote a reply.
Liu Xiaoli, however, saw through Yang Mi's intentions. This girl is totally showing off.
Still, she didn't say anything to her daughter.
Yifei has never really had friends her age. This Yang Mi might be a bit slick and have some little tricks up her sleeve, but… sigh, let's see how their friendship develops.
Before long, Yang Mi received a reply from Liu Yifei.
Dear Mimi,
I'm so happy to hear you've made friends on the Harry Potter set.
I'm doing well here on Return of the Condor Heroes. Everyone takes good care of me, especially Brother Huang Xiaoming.
But something terrifying happened during filming—
There was a waterfall scene, and Director Zhang insisted on filming on location. I bravely stepped onto a rock under the waterfall. The waterfall had multiple tiers, and I was standing on the middle one. Not far from me was another steep drop, and below was a deep pool.
The rock was too slippery, and I lost my balance. In an instant, I was swept away by the current.
At that moment, I thought, I'm doomed. If I got carried over the edge, I'd definitely fall! A seven or eight-meter drop—I'd either drown or break something.
I vaguely remember hearing people screaming. My mom told me that the crew panicked, and a bunch of them jumped in to save me. Huang Xiaoming was one of them.
Luckily, a deputy director managed to stop me in time. Otherwise, it could've been really bad.
The whole incident scared Director Zhang. Later, whenever there were dangerous shots, even if I said I could do them myself, he insisted on using a stunt double. Hehe!
By the way, is it really true that Emma Watson has a crush on Martin?
She's so bold!
But I guess it makes sense—Martin really is handsome. Even more so than Brother Xiaoming.
Mimi, what kind of person is Martin? Is he easy to talk to? How's your relationship with him? Can you get me his autograph? If possible, a signed photo would be even better!
Am I asking too many questions? Hehe, I'm just curious!
That's all for now. Don't forget to write back—let's keep in touch!
About half a month later, Liu Yifei received another letter from Yang Mi—this time with a signed photo of Martin.
She was so excited that she showed it off to everyone.
Huang Xiaoming, seeing her enthusiasm, felt a pang of jealousy. "Has 'Gu Gu' stopped loving 'Guo'er'?"
At the same time, he was a little confused.
"Why don't you guys just email each other? Wouldn't that be faster?"
Liu Yifei replied, "We just enjoy the process of writing everything out by hand."
The truth?
Yang Mi didn't really know how to use email properly… classic case of a school slacker.
