Avril watched Xiao Chen turn and leave.

He didn't come to his senses until he walked out of the lounge.

She stomped her foot, her face showing both annoyance and a hint of sweetness.

She knew that this surrender was just a new beginning in her long-term relationship.

Xiao Chen is so charming.

She had no way to resist.

……

Meanwhile, in a cozy bedroom in Kyoto.

Fourteen-year-old Dilraba wore cute pigtails.

She was leaning over her desk, listening to "Baby" with her headphones on.

A blush spread across her fair face, and her eyes sparkled with a youthful light.

Xiao Chen's posters and stickers were plastered all over the desk and walls.

She had cut those out from various film magazines and carefully kept them.

"Baby, baby, baby oh!"

Dilraba hummed along softly to the music.

She gently stroked Xiao Chen's handsome face with her fingertips, imagining his eyes looking at her.

Just imagining it makes Dilraba incredibly shy.

She covered her face shyly.

Brother Xiao Chen, how can you be so talented!

She secretly glanced at her piggy bank.

That's where her savings, which she'd been working on for a long time, were kept.

She thought that when she grew up a little older, she would definitely go and see Brother Xiao Chen!

……

The same city.

Twenty-year-old Yang Mi has just finished filming a male-male movie.

She sat in the dressing room, listening to "Baby" on her MP3 player.

"Buzzing..."

My phone screen lit up; it was a message from my agent urging me to hurry up.

She ignored it, simply immersing herself in the music.

Yang Mi sighed softly.

"He's really amazing."

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence crossed his eyes.

She watched him grow step by step, step by step, onto the international stage.

Now, he has amazed the world as a singer.

Yang Mi couldn't help but smile.

"You must wait for me, Xiao Chen."

……

In a classroom at the Shanghai Theatre Academy in Shanghai.

Tang Yan sat in the back row of the classroom, seemingly listening attentively to the teacher's lecture.

Actually, she had earphones in her ears and was secretly listening to "Baby".

"Little brother Xiao Chen..."

She silently repeated the name in her heart.

Thinking of Xiao Chen's handsome face, she couldn't help but blush.

She remembered that when Xiao Chen was still in kindergarten, he was always surrounded by a group of little girls.

He was always so dazzling and so different from everyone else.

Tang Yan gently shook her head, trying to shake those random thoughts out of her mind.

She needs to study hard and perform well.

Only in this way can we secure the opportunity to perform on the same stage as him.

……

In the practice room, Liu Shishi was covered in sweat.

She had just finished a high-intensity dance training session and was completely exhausted.

She collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Her workout clothes were soaked with sweat.

However, Liu Shishi still turned on her Walkman and played "Baby".

The cheerful melody instantly soothed her tired body.

She closed her eyes, and Xiao Chen's confident smile appeared in her mind.

The song ended.

Liu Shishi slowly opened her eyes.

The weariness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a blazing light.

She slowly stood up, her body aching, but her back was ramrod straight.

"Xiao Chen..."

She uttered the name softly, with unwavering resolve.

Liu Shishi knew that Xiao Chen was now standing at the top of the world.

And she is still on her way to pursue her dreams.

But what about that?

One day, she will stand before him again in her best condition.

Liu Shishi started practicing again.

Every movement was more powerful than before.

Sweat soaked her clothes again.

She wants to become stronger and better.

All for that one unattainable dream.

……

On the set of Titanic.

The melody of "Baby" has spread to almost every corner of the world, but Xiao Chen doesn't care at all.

He was standing in front of a huge blue curtain.

The seawater was rendered with special effects to appear vast and magnificent, just like the real deep sea.

All around were the constant roar of machines, and the cold wind blowing through the huge photography studio made clothes flutter.

Cameron's weary voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Card!"

As a world-renowned director, Cameron's standards for film quality are outrageously high.

If he didn't get the effect he wanted, Cameron would start over again and again.

Other actors would inevitably show signs of fatigue under such intense filming conditions.

Only Xiao Chen cooperated patiently every time, giving his all in every take.

Xiao Chen did not notice Cameron's admiring gaze.

He took off his soaking wet coat and took the towel his assistant handed him to wipe his face.

His damp hair clung to his forehead, and the light accentuated the striking contours of his face.

Many staff members were stealing glances at him, their eyes full of admiration.

This face.

It's a pleasure to look at.

Cameron walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Chen, you're in great shape."

"He's like Jack stepped right out of the script."

Cameron's tone was full of admiration.

He rarely praises young actors like this.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly.

"Thank you, director."

Just then, Wang Jinhua hurried over.

He was still holding the phone he had just hung up in his hand.

Looking at Xiao Chen, Wang Jinhua couldn't help but speak.

"Do you even realize how popular 'Baby' is right now?"

Her tone was both reproachful and filled with barely concealed joy.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen simply shrugged.

"Oh, really?"

"I haven't been paying attention."

He responded calmly.

It seems this song has nothing to do with him.

Wang Jinhua was amused by his behavior and raised her hand to tap Xiao Chen's forehead.

What does "Oh, really?" mean?

"Breaking global download records, reaching number one on the charts!"

Her voice involuntarily rose a little.

Xiao Chen frowned. He didn't like this kind of high-profile behavior.

"so what?"

He asked, his tone still calm. All he wanted to do right now was make a good film.

Wang Jinhua ignored his indifferent expression and directly took out another phone, on which an email was displayed.

"Grammy Invitation"

"You've been nominated for Best Male Singer."

Wang Jinhua emphasized every word she spoke.

This is a palace that so many people dream of!

Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he tilted his head slightly to look at Wang Jinhua.

"The Grammys?"

He repeated the word.

There wasn't much surprise in his tone, only a barely perceptible doubt.

Wang Jinhua was extremely excited.

"yes!"

"We'd like to invite you to come and present an award, and maybe even perform!"

She had already begun to imagine Xiao Chen standing on that stage, the center of attention.

Xiao Chen felt it was a bit troublesome and rubbed his temples.

"I'm still filming, I can't leave."

He refused outright.

He understood what this opportunity meant, but he didn't want to be distracted.

Cameron listened from the side, a playful expression on his face.

Everyone knows the significance of the Grammys.

That kid.

Do you even know what he rejected?
