She debuted after having a child with a celestial being.

"Sister Sisi, you...you want me to have your baby?"

Xiao He's expression shifted from surprise to shock; his brain suddenly went blank.

Liu Yifei, sitting opposite, rested her chin on her hand and nodded calmly.

"Um."

She was wearing a loose white sweater, and her hair was casually tied back.

Even without makeup, she is still breathtakingly beautiful.

Why?

Xiao He's question raises two questions.

First, Liu Yifei, why did you suddenly decide to have a baby?

Second, Liu Yifei, why did you choose me?

Liu Yifei lowered her hand from her chin, leaned back on the sofa, and looked out the window.

"I'm tired of acting, I want to take a good rest, and I want to retire from acting. Besides, I'm not young anymore, and I want to have a child."

Xiao He hesitated, then began to think about the reason, and couldn't help but think of the recent entertainment news about Liu Yifei.

In August 2017, "Once Upon a Time" was released, grossing 160 million yuan on its opening day and over 400 million yuan in four days.

And then what? Then came the most insane wave of negative reviews.

With professional ratings as low as one or two points, Liu Yifei's performance was criticized as expressionless, and some people wrote, "She and Yang Yang are both trying to prove the established fact that 'I can't act at all'."

Yang Yang's famous ramen scene turned a big-budget movie into a skit.

Liu Yifei won the Golden Broom Award for Most Disappointing Actress.

In July 2017, photos of Chen Jingfei and Yang Caiyu kissing passionately in the street went viral online.

Yang Caiyu posted a line from the movie "Léon: The Professional" on Weibo: "Léon, look, love is unstoppable."

The media photographed the car driven by Yang Caiyu, which was previously driven by Liu Yifei.

Subsequently, Chen Jingfei gradually withdrew from his business management, and Liu Yifei lost access to a large number of resources.

In the same period of 2017: It was reported that Liu Yifei's hard-won role in the Hollywood blockbuster "Gravity Reversal" was snatched away by newcomer Yang Caiyu, further damaging her plans to break into Hollywood.

In November 2017, "The Chinese Widow" grossed 11 million yuan in its first five days of release.

Liu Yifei thus earned the title of "box office poison".

According to the future timeline, Liu Yifei's recovery from her low point began with the broadcast of "Meng Hua Lu" in June 2022.

After its premiere, the show's Douban rating quickly soared from 8.3 to 8.8, becoming the highest-rated domestic drama on Douban in 2022.

Liu Yifei returned to the TV drama scene after 16 years, reversing the doubts that she was a "movie star descending to earth" and achieving a career resurgence.

Xiao He turned his gaze back to the woman in front of him.

He recalled that when he was a child at the Wuhan Opera and Dance Theater, his parents were colleagues and had a very harmonious relationship.

Liu Yifei is five years older than Xiao He, so she is the older sister. Xiao He became Liu Yifei's little follower. He and Sister Qianqian used to run around in the rehearsal hall since they were little.

At that time, Liu Yifei's eyes were shining brightly, and she said she wanted to be the most amazing actress in the world.

The person sitting opposite him now had a much dimmer starlight in their eyes.

Xiao He's mouth was dry. He licked his lips and tried to organize his thoughts: "Sister Qianqian, I understand you're going through a low point in your career right now, and President Chen's mind is all on that Yang guy; he's completely neglecting the company. But you can't give up on yourself! Who do you think you are?"

"Who?"

Liu Yifei turned to look at him, giving a self-deprecating smile: "Box office poison? Or a resource-backed actress who's been brought back to reality?"

Xiao He was speechless.

He racked his brains, trying to figure out how to comfort his older sister, with whom he had grown up.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me.

"By the way! Weren't you recently reported by the media to be in a passionate relationship with that guy surnamed Song? Why don't you two go on a trip together to relax? Every actor has a low point in their career, it all passes, and you'll definitely be popular again in less than two years."

"Love my ass."

Xiao He was stunned.

"I'm just his friend."

Liu Yifei was silent for a moment, then began to explain.

Xiao He then realized that the so-called passionate love was, from beginning to end, a mutually beneficial relationship.

They use the guise of being in love to get what they want and increase their exposure.

But Liu Yifei had another selfish motive.

"My original plan was to use this scandal to gain some popularity while claiming to be going abroad for a year or two of further study. In reality, I was going abroad to give birth."

Xiao He's eyes widened.

"You have to find the most trustworthy person for this kind of thing, otherwise your life will be ruined. We've looked at everyone in China, but there's no one suitable, so we're thinking, why not choose someone overseas?"

So that's how it is. Liu Yifei's idea of ​​having a child didn't just come out of nowhere today; it's been brewing for a long time.

Xiao He couldn't help but ask, "What was the result for that guy surnamed Song?"

Liu Yifei gently shook her head: "The assessment failed. I'm very dissatisfied. Pass."

The living room was quiet for a few seconds.

"younger brother."

Liu Yifei suddenly leaned over the sofa and grabbed his hand.

"My dear brother, you are the only person in the whole world I can trust."

Her eyes were fixed on him, and there was a plea in them, as well as weariness.

"Help me, Sister."

Xiao He felt his heart racing.

"Don't worry, after I get pregnant, I'll give birth abroad, and no one will know that you're the father of the child. I'll raise it all by myself."

Xiao He withdrew his hand.

"Hey sis, if you like kids so much, why don't you get married?"

Liu Yifei laughed: "Marriage?"

She leaned back on the sofa, a haughty look on her face.

"In the entire entertainment industry, who is worthy of marrying me, Liu Yifei? Who is qualified to be my husband, Liu Yifei?"

"Sister...you can't say that."

Xiao He reorganized his thoughts and continued, "If the men in the entertainment industry aren't good enough, let's look at the finance industry, or at the very least, the e-commerce industry, right? I'll keep looking for you, there'll always be someone..."

"All crows are black, and you're lecturing your sister now?"

Liu Yifei interrupted her impatiently, then continued earnestly, "Little brother, think about it, I don't want to get married, right? But when I get old, I don't want to be alone. How pitiful would it be to be all alone and helpless? Can you bear to watch your older sister grow old alone?"

"I……"

Xiao He thought for a moment and then replied, "I couldn't bear it."

"That's my good younger brother."

Liu Yifei smiled with satisfaction, her voice lowering slightly: "I think it would be best if I had a child to accompany me. Look around now, single-parent families are so common. If my child were born, he wouldn't be treated badly by his peers."

"It's true that children from single-parent families are very common now," Xiao He replied in agreement.

As Liu Yifei thought about it, she couldn't help but feel hopeful: "It would be best if it were a girl; I can't take care of a boy. Besides, a boy without his father by his side won't have much of a manly spirit. As for a girl, I can raise her like I did when I was little, just like my mom raised me. What a wonderful thing that would be."

Then she turned her head and looked at Xiao He again.

"Little brother, please help your sister. We've been playing together since we were little. What did you say when you were a kid? You said you would obey any request your sister made unconditionally."

Xiao He felt his face burning.

He remembered.

I was seven years old that year, in the rehearsal hall of the Wuhan Opera and Dance Theater.

He tilted his head back, patted his chest, and felt incredibly manly, determined to grow up to be a hero and protect Sister Xixi.

I would do anything for Sister Sisi.

"My dear Sisi."

Xiao He's voice was full of helplessness. The boomerang from more than ten years ago had now flown back into his hands.

He was both amused and exasperated: "That's something a seven-year-old child would say."

Liu Yifei stared intently at Xiao He: "Tell me, was that child you?"
