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

Wang Jinhua was amused by this unexpected move, and her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

"You silly child, what time is it? You're still playing with this!"

She scolded him playfully, but the smile in her eyes was unmistakable.

Just then, a suppressed gasp suddenly came from the doorway.

Wow!

The two of them turned around at the same time.

The door to the rest room had been pushed open a crack at some point.

A head wearing a black woolen hat was peeking in through the crack in the door.

Those distinctive single-eyelid eyes were now gleaming with an almost worshipful light.

He stared intently at the coin in Xiao Chen's hand.

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw who it was.

Jay Chou?

Before he could even speak, the door creaked open and was pushed open completely.

Jay Chou rushed in in one stride.

His face showed the fervent expression of a fan meeting their idol, completely devoid of his usual cool and aloof demeanor.

He grabbed Xiao Chen's hand, so excited that he became incoherent.

"Dude! That magic trick was awesome!"

"How did you manage that?"

"The disappearing coin trick in close-up?"

"No, your technique is faster than any magician I've ever seen! Clean, precise, and without a single flaw!"

Like a curious child, he examined Xiao Chen's hands from all angles, trying to uncover their secrets.

Those in the industry know that Jay Chou has two great hobbies: milk tea and magic, to the point of obsession.

Xiao Chen was both amused and exasperated.

His rudimentary skills were only meant to amuse Wang Jinhua.

Unexpectedly, this has drawn out this king of the Chinese music scene.

He politely tried to pull his hand back.

"A little trick, not worth mentioning."

To everyone's surprise, Jay Chou held on even tighter.

He looked into Xiao Chen's eyes, his gaze intense.

He spoke with utmost seriousness, uttering a sentence that froze the entire break room.

"Master! Please take me as your apprentice!"

The air in the entire break room seemed to have been sucked dry by Jay Chou's words, "Boss, take me as your apprentice."

Wang Jinhua's eye twitched.

Seeing this king of the music scene holding his artist's hand with such reverence, it feels like the world is a bit surreal.

What is all this about?

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, every second counts. You, a top star, come here to ask to be a magician?

Xiao Chen was also quite helpless.

He could feel the sweat on Jay Chou's palms and the light shining in his single-eyelid eyes.

It wasn't an act; it was a genuine longing.

This is a true magic fanatic.

Xiao Chen tried to break free, but couldn't.

Jay Chou held on even tighter, as if afraid he would run away.

"Master! I beg you!"

"Teach me just one move, no, even half a move will do!"

"The disappearance of that coin just now was definitely not a simple trick."

"The movements are fluid and natural, without any unnecessary actions!"

"I bet even David Copperfield would be dumbfounded!"

Listen to this boasting.

Xiao Chen felt nothing; he even felt a little amused.

He really learned his skills from the stuntmen on the film set.

However, he learns everything quickly, and his mental strength after his rebirth far surpasses that of ordinary people, which allows him to achieve such extreme efficiency.

It was more than enough to fool laymen, but I never expected it to bring out a hardcore enthusiast.

"Jay Chou, you're too kind."

Xiao Chen's voice was gentle, with a soothing smile.

"It's just a little trick."

Jay Chou retorted excitedly, his face turning slightly red.

"No! This isn't magic! This is art!"

"Master, don't be modest!"

He called out "Master" loudly and clearly.

Several staff members passing by the entrance heard the noise and curiously peeked inside.

When I saw what was inside, my jaw almost dropped.

King Zhou...

Calling Xiao Chen "Master"?!

What an earth-shattering revelation!

Wang Jinhua's temples throbbed.

If this troublemaker keeps going, tomorrow's headlines won't be about the Spring Festival Gala, but about #JayChouBecomingXiaoChenBackstage#.

She was about to speak when Xiao Chen moved first.

He raised his other hand and gently placed it on Jay Chou's wrist, which was holding him.

"Jay Chou, since you like it so much, I'll make you another one."

Jay Chou's eyes lit up instantly, like a light bulb that had been switched on.

"Really, Master?"

Xiao Chen smiled without saying a word.

His gaze fell on the valuable antique watch on Jay Chou's wrist, and he lightly touched it with his finger.

"Watch closely."

His movements were not fast; in fact, they could be described as very slow.

Under the almost face-to-face gaze of Jay Chou and Wang Jinhua, Xiao Chen placed the coin in Jay Chou's palm and then made him hold it tightly.

"Hold on tight?"

Jay Chou nodded vigorously, like a primary school student waiting for candy from his teacher.

Xiao Chen tapped Zhou Jielun's hand three times with his fingertips.

Knock, knock, knock.

Three crisp sounds.

"Open it and take a look."

With immense excitement, Jay Chou slowly opened his palm.

Then, he froze.

My palm was empty.

The coin has disappeared again!

Jay Chou's pupils dilated in shock, and his mouth opened into an "O" shape.

"this……"

He could clearly feel the weight and cold touch of the coin!

How is that possible?

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and raised his left wrist.

There, a coin lies quietly.

Jay Chou was completely dumbfounded.

This is not finished.

Xiao Chen flicked his wrist, and the coin clattered to the ground.

He gestured for Jay Chou to look at his wrist.

Jay Chou subconsciously touched his wrist, but it was empty.

"Where's my watch?"

He suddenly looked down at his palm.

There, his antique watch lay quietly.

The watch and the coin switched places instantly without him even noticing!

Wow!

Jay Chou's exclamation this time was even louder than when he was at the door, and he jumped up.

He looked at Xiao Chen as if he were a god, his eyes overflowing with adoration that could drown a person.

"Master! You are my own master!"

"What's this move called? The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

He lunged at him again, this time trying to grab his leg.

Xiao Chen stepped to the side, causing him to miss his target.

Headache.

He sighed silently to himself.

When it really matters, Aunt Hua is the most reliable.

Wang Jinhua finally found an opportunity to interject. She stepped forward and subtly separated the two of them.

"Jaylen!"

"Look, our Xiao Chen is about to go on stage, and he has two performances to do. We need to get ready quickly."

She smiled kindly, but the meaning behind her words was unquestionable.

Jay Chou then seemed to wake up from a dream, checked the time, and slapped his forehead in frustration.

"Yes, yes, look at me, I got so excited that I forgot about the important matter."

He looked at Xiao Chen with reluctance, his face full of "Master, please don't go."

"Master, don't worry about your performance, I'll definitely be applauding for you from the audience!"

"I'll come find you after this is all over!"

After saying that, he walked away, turning back every three steps.

As soon as the others left, Wang Jinhua immediately closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My God, this guy is finally gone."
