I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

The crew of "Echoes of the Rainbow" also very humanely gave them two days off.

Xiao Chen bid farewell to the humid air of Hong Kong and flew back to the brightly lit city of Beijing.

When he appeared backstage at the Super Girl finals wearing a well-tailored suit.

The entire space fell silent for a second, then erupted into an uncontrollable commotion.

"Oh my god! It's Xiao Chen, my little brother!"

"I'm a million times better looking in person than on TV!"

"He looked at me! Did he just look at me?"

"Xiao Chen is so handsome! I can wait for him for another ten years!"

Several young female staff members were so excited that their faces turned red, and they almost fainted.

The three finalists, An Youqi, Wang Ti, and Zhang Hanyun, who are about to take the stage, are making their final preparations in the dressing room.

Hearing the commotion outside, all three of them knew exactly what was going on.

I knew it must be Xiao Chen who had arrived.

An Youqi took a deep breath and gave herself a confident smile in the mirror.

She is a powerful singer and is determined to win the championship.

Wang Ti seemed a little nervous, constantly adjusting her skirt.

Zhang Hanyun, who was sitting in the corner, was only fifteen years old. She had a round, baby-faced expression and her palms were sweaty with nervousness.

She peeked out through the crack in the door.

With just one glance, she felt her heart pounding in her throat.

The boy was standing not far away.

Under the lights, the boy's fair neck was exposed, and his clean aura, coupled with his delicate features, made it impossible to look away at first glance.

Xiao Chen specially got her makeup and hair done today because she was going to participate in a program.

Normally smooth and sleek hair is slightly curled, giving it a somewhat British look.

Xiao Chen seemed to notice the gazes directed at him and glanced over indifferently.

Zhang Hanyun was so frightened that she immediately shrank back, her back pressed tightly against the cold wall, while her cheeks were surprisingly hot.

Besides wanting to realize her own dream, her biggest motivation for coming here was to see Xiao Chen.

It started with Xiao Chen's role in "The New Legend of Shaolin".

He is Zhang Hanyun's idol.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was Zhang Hanyun's childhood that she grew up in.

The program started soon.

Xiao Chen, as a special guest, sat in the center of the judges' panel.

When the host introduced him in the most enthusiastic voice, the entire studio roof almost seemed to be lifted off by the screams of the fans.

The entire audience was chanting Xiao Chen's name loudly.

Xiao Chen simply stood up, bowed slightly to the camera and the audience, and then sat down quietly.

There were no unnecessary words or deliberate interactions.

But just by sitting there, he became the sole focus of attention in the entire room.

The competition has entered a heated phase.

Each of the three contestants had their own unique strengths in their performances.

An Youqi maintained a steady stage presence, Wang Ti was hot and sexy, while Zhang Hanyun retained her signature innocent style.

After finishing her song, she stood on the stage, nervously looking at the judges' panel.

Especially Xiao Chen.

She saw his eyes.

Those eyes were bright and still, like the deep night sky, revealing no emotion.

This made Zhang Hanyun even more nervous.

Finally, it was time for the final voting stage.

After several rounds of complex voting, An Youqi and Wang Ti were neck and neck, while Zhang Hanyun was slightly behind.

Ultimately, the championship was decided entirely by Xiao Chen, who had the final say.

The atmosphere at the scene froze.

All eyes were focused on the twelve-year-old boy.

The host, Teacher He, handed the microphone to Xiao Chen, his voice trembling slightly.

"Xiao Chen, this is a difficult decision."

"Your vote will directly determine the birth of the first national champion of 'Super Girl'."

"May I ask, to whom will you cast your vote for this honor?"

Xiao Chen picked up the microphone without the slightest hesitation.

His clear gaze swept over the three girls on the stage who were holding their breath.

Finally, the image focuses on Zhang Hanyun, the youngest, most nervous, and like a frightened fawn.

I choose Zhang Hanyun.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly transmitted through the microphone to every corner of the studio.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Everyone thought he would choose the more capable An Youqi, or the equally popular Wang Ti.

No one expected him to choose Zhang Hanyun!

Teacher He was also stunned and subconsciously asked a follow-up question.

"Could you explain your reasons?"

Xiao Chen's answer was as simple as it could be.

There is no reason.

"I like her voice; it's very clean."

After he finished speaking, he put down the microphone.

However, this seemingly casual remark completely changed a girl's fate.

In Xiao Chen's previous life, Zhang Hanyun only won third place in "Super Girl".

But things are different in this world.

Teacher He excitedly announced on stage.

The 2003 Super Girl national champion was Zhang Hanyun!

The words fell.

The fifteen-year-old girl could no longer control her emotions. She covered her face, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.

Golden ribbons of color fell from the sky.

Music and cheers filled the air.

Zhang Hanyun was surrounded by staff and contestants who rushed up to her.

She was sobbing uncontrollably and could barely utter a complete sentence when giving her acceptance speech.

She just choked up, repeating it over and over again.

"Thank you... thank you everyone... I..."

"The person I want to thank the most... is Teacher Xiao Chen..."

"Thank you... really... thank you..."

She looked towards the judges' panel, wanting to give a most sincere bow to the person who changed her life.

However, that spot was already empty.

The moment the results were announced, Xiao Chen had already quietly gotten up and left through the backstage passage.

Inside the nanny van.

Wang Jinhua was already waiting inside.

Looking at Xiao Chen's composed profile, she couldn't help but ask.

"You really chose her just because her voice is clean?"

"An Youqi's singing skills are universally acknowledged to be the best."

Xiao Chen leaned against the car window, watching the Beijing night scene rushing past outside, the neon lights flickering on his face.

"The champion's singing skills are not necessarily the best."

He spoke calmly.

"But the champion is definitely the most valuable."

"Zhang Hanyun's image, her age, her voice."

"All of these factors determine that she has greater commercial potential and versatility than the other two."

Wang Jinhua was stunned.

She only saw the competition on stage, while this twelve-year-old child saw what happened after the competition.

Xiao Chen did not offer any further explanation.

He closed his eyes, and what came to mind was that stuffy, cramped tenement building in Hong Kong.

It was the white bed sheet drying on the rooftop, and the small shop of Luo's Leather Shoes.

The dazzling stage and deafening cheers were, for him, nothing more than a brief interlude in his long performing career.

It's just to support Aunt Hua.

His world is forever within the stage.

The plane soared into the sky, leaving the bustling city of Beijing far behind.

A few hours later, he will return to the 1960s, a time of suffering yet warmth, that belonged to Luo Jin'er.
