Instead of calling Sun Li by her name, Deng Chao mischievously called her by the character name “Hu Manli” from Sun Li’s new drama. Sun Li was focused on enjoying her meal when Deng Chao suddenly shouted “Hu Manli” and whimsically gave her “orders”: “I say Hu Manli, you respond!” He asked Sun Li to say “yes”.
