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

Wang Jinhua felt both annoyed and amused by his stubbornness.

This kid is great in every way.

When it comes to emotions, he's as oblivious as a block of wood.

But this is for the best.

For an artist at the peak of their career, having no scandals is the best state to be in.

As for that audacious confession outside...

Let the reporters have their fun.

Anyway, they couldn't get any response from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not respond at all.

He didn't even take it to heart.

In his eyes, Avril was just a little girl.

Right now, he has neither the time nor the inclination to think about what a young girl is thinking.

There was only one thing on his mind.

The performance later must be perfect.

Since he was going to perform, he had to do it to the best of his ability; this was the standard Xiao Chen set for himself.

He adjusted his posture, closed his eyes, and began to mentally rehearse every detail of the stage.

Breathing, pitch, positioning, eye contact.

As for the aura and admiration surrounding him...

It's just scenery along the way.

Just take a look.

The opening performance for the awards ceremony has begun.

Brilliant lights intertwine to form a dreamlike net within the enormous venue.

Every note emitted from a top-of-the-line sound system carries an electric current, easily igniting the senses.

But for the singers sitting in the audience, the warm-up performance was just an appetizer.

Their eyes were critical, their posture relaxed, and they carried a hint of judges' arrogance.

When the host's voice rang out.

"Next, Xiao Chen."

There was a brief commotion in the arena.

Many singers were whispering among themselves.

"Is it that actor?"

"A movie actor singing at the Grammys? Are you kidding me?"

A black rapper with dreadlocks grimaced and whispered to his companion.

"I guess the record company bribed him to come and make an appearance."

"His song 'Baby' is alright."

"But I bet it's definitely a sound edited in a recording studio."

"Live on location? Would he dare to use full microphone?"

The dissenting voices weren't loud, but they buzzed in the air.

Every word of these words reached Avril's ears.

She had just returned to her seat when she heard the disdain and speculations about Xiao Chen from those around her.

Avril's brows furrowed instantly, and a flame ignited in her beautiful smoky eyes.

She saw Xiao Chen stand up, preparing to walk towards the side aisle of the stage.

He remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to the doubts around him.

Avril couldn't sit still any longer.

She lifted her skirt and quickly caught up with him, stopping him at the entrance of the passage.

"Chen!"

Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at her.

The dim lighting in the backstage corridor cast a hazy glow on his perfect profile.

Avril's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure, leaned closer, and whispered.

"Don't listen to those bastards' nonsense!"

"They're just jealous!"

"I'm jealous that you're better looking than them, better acting than them, and even more talented at singing!"

"I believe in you, you are absolutely the best!"

The girl's eyes shone brightly, filled with undisguised trust and encouragement.

Xiao Chen looked at her quietly.

He could smell her faint perfume, mixed with a unique scent that was like a wild rose.

He didn't speak, he just watched.

Two seconds later, he gave a very slight laugh.

Then, under Avril's expectant gaze, he raised his hand and quickly touched her forehead with his fingertips.

The movement was as light as a feather.

"Watch."

He only said two words, his voice low and deep, carrying a reassuring magic.

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stage illuminated by the light without looking back.

Avril stood frozen in place, her fingertips unconsciously touching her forehead.

The warmth of Xiao Chen's fingertips still lingered there.

A few minutes later.

The stage lights suddenly went out.

The entire Staples Center was plunged into darkness and silence.

Only the scattered cell phone screens in the audience resembled fireflies in the night sky.

one second.

two seconds.

Suddenly, a spotlight descended from the sky and shone precisely on the center of the stage.

Within the beam of light, a figure stood silently.

The black shirt accentuated his tall and slender figure.

Without any superfluous embellishments, it is the most dazzling focal point in itself.

When that face appeared on the big screen, the entire venue gasped.

His handsomeness is beyond words.

Deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and perfectly shaped lips.

Under the high-definition lens of the camera, his skin was so smooth that not a single pore could be seen.

Taylor Swift in the front row covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, completely forgetting her nervousness.

"Oh my God..."

Beyoncé and her husband also stopped talking and fixed their gazes on the stage.

to be frank.

With just that face, Xiao Chen has already won.

The prelude to the music began at just the right moment.

It's the song "Baby" that became a global hit.

Everyone held their breath.

Then, Xiao Chen spoke.

"You know you love me, I know you care..."

The moment the first syllable was uttered, the air in the entire venue froze.

The boy's voice was clear and bright, with a lazy magnetism, like a glass of mellow red wine, gliding past everyone's eardrums and straight to their heart.

Everyone present was a professional singer; their ears could tell the difference.

What's on stage is definitely not the kind of perfect performance that's been edited countless times in the recording studio.

Instead, it's a more penetrating and textured sound.

Xiao Chen actually spoke live the whole time!

Those singers who had been standing with their arms crossed, ready to watch the show, all froze.

The rapper with the dreadlocks unconsciously opened his mouth.

Is this...this is the scene?

The pitch and breath control are even more stable than the studio version!

However, this is just the beginning.

When the song entered the chorus, Xiao Chen moved.

He didn't rely on any fancy stage effects; he just did a simple slide, moving his body to the beat.

The movements were clean, crisp, and powerful.

Every turn was perfectly timed.

His dance, unlike those of professional dancers who employ complex techniques, possesses a natural rhythm and superstar flair.

It was both effortless and full of tension.

When he beckoned to the camera, the entire female audience erupted in a scream that seemed to pierce the roof!

Katy Perry couldn't help but yell at her friends.

"My God! He's just an actor!"

"If we let him become a serious singer, how will we survive?"

Her words expressed the sentiments of all singers.

This talent is just too incredible.

In acting, Xiao Chen is already a rising star in Hollywood.

Singing, a single song landed him on the Grammy stage, showcasing such terrifying live performance skills.

How many windows did God open for him?
