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

The azure sea gently laps against the white sand, making a soft and rhythmic sound.

On a private island in the afternoon, the sun shines warmly, and the air is filled with the aroma of roasted meat and a faint scent of sea salt.

On the open-air balcony, parasols cast large patches of shade.

Ye Huimei was discussing the latest perfume designs with Mei Yanfang, Liu Shishi, and a few others, occasionally letting out a soft laugh.

On the other side, Leslie Cheung was holding a glass of red wine and gesturing something to Stephen Chow.

It seems to be exploring a comedic scene.

Stephen Chow's face was adorned with his signature funny expression, making Yang Mi and Tang Yan next to him laugh uproariously.

Dilraba and Reyila huddled together, quietly sharing their innermost thoughts.

Dilraba's eyes kept involuntarily glancing towards the edge of the pool.

There, Xiao Chen had just emerged from the water, water droplets sliding down his well-defined abdominal muscles, refracting like diamonds in the sunlight.

He casually picked up a towel and dried his hair.

That flawless face, even among such a group of top stars, remains an unmissable focal point.

Ye Huimei waved her hand with heartache.

"Ah Chen, come and rest for a while."

Xiao Chen walked over with a smile and sat down on the recliner next to Dilraba.

The little girl's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quietly moved to the side, her heart skipping a beat.

He picked up a glass of juice, took a sip, and then calmly dropped a bomb.

"Mom, Aunt Hua, brothers and sisters, I might have to go back early."

In an instant, all the laughter and cheers stopped.

The air seemed to freeze.

Mei Yanfang was the first to react. She put down the magazine in her hand and frowned slightly.

"Go back? You've only rested for two days!"

Her tone carried the characteristic concern and reproach of a boss.

Leslie Cheung also came over.

"Yes, Ah Chen."

"Why the rush?"

"It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, wouldn't it be nice to relax and have some fun?"

Stephen Chow also dropped his joking expression and looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He knew that Xiao Chen never did anything without a reason.

Ye Huimei gripped her son's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

"Has something happened?"

Xiao Chen patted his mother's hand reassuringly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present who cared about him.

Finally, it landed on the face of the agent, Wang Jinhua.

The two exchanged a knowing glance.

"It's nothing serious."

"I have a new idea, an idea about a movie, and I'm a little... impatient."

New movie?

This word acted like a switch, instantly igniting the professional instincts of everyone present.

Stephen Chow's eyes lit up.

"What genre?"

Is it a comedy?

"I have an idea for you..."

Mei Yanfang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"screw you!"

"Ah Chen, we're definitely going to make a big production, something like a comedy!"

Stephen Chow retorted, unconvinced.

"Hey, what's wrong with comedy?"

"Comedy is the highest form of art, okay!"

Seeing the two about to start arguing again, Xiao Chen smiled helplessly.

"Neither."

He paused for a moment, then slowly uttered two words.

"Science fiction".

Science fiction?

This word silenced the room once again.

Everyone was stunned.

In China, science fiction films are practically a desert that no one dares to venture into.

It's not that no director has tried; but without exception, they all lost everything and were severely criticized.

The special effects are inadequate, the script lacks imagination, and the entire industrial system cannot support a grand science fiction world.

Xiao Chen, the man who stands at the pinnacle of world cinema.

His next work is going to tackle this incredibly difficult subject matter?

Leslie Cheung's tone was filled with astonishment.

"Are you...are you serious?"

Xiao Chen did not answer, but simply looked at everyone with his clear and determined eyes.

The answer is self-evident.

Silence fell on the balcony as everyone processed the shock of the news.

Only Wang Jinhua smiled and spoke to everyone.

"I've already read the proposal that Xiaochen stayed up all night writing last night."

"It's very impressive."

Who is Wang Jinhua?

She is now the leading figure in the Chinese entertainment industry.

If she's given Xiao Chen's new plan such a high evaluation, then its quality must be excellent.

With her statement, the others also came to their senses.

They looked at Xiao Chen, at this young man who had created countless miracles since he debuted at the age of three.

question?

Perhaps for a fleeting moment.

But more than anything, there is anticipation.

They wanted to see what kind of shock this man, who always managed to turn the impossible into the possible, would bring to the world this time.

Anita Mui waved her hand with a flourish.

"Sure! Just let me know whenever you need it!"

Stephen Chow chuckled.

"Count me in! Even a minor role is fine!"

Leslie Cheung gently patted his shoulder.

"Go for it, Ah Chen!"

Amidst cheers of support, Dilraba kept her head down, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and remained silent.

The holiday is coming to an early end.

It's not easy to spend so much time with him.

The little girl felt an indescribable sense of loss.

A warm, large hand suddenly landed on her head and gently rubbed it.

Dilraba looked up and met Xiao Chen's smiling eyes.

Those eyes seemed to hold the stars and the sea, instantly captivating her.

Don't be unhappy.

Xiao Chen's voice was soft, carrying a unique gentleness.

"Go back to your studies and focus on your studies. I'll be waiting for you in Beijing."

"Waiting for you to come back, to film 'A Little Reunion'."

Dilraba felt like her brain had been blown apart by fireworks.

A Little Reunion!

That was a TV series that Xiao Chen had promised to tailor-make for her!

She thought... she thought he was just saying it casually.

After all, there has been no news for a long time.

I never imagined he had remembered all this!

The overwhelming joy dispelled the sadness of parting, and the little girl's eyes instantly lit up, filled with twinkling starlight.

She nodded vigorously, her lips curving upwards involuntarily into a bright smile.

"Okay! See you in Beijing!"

The private jet's engines roared loudly.

As everyone waved goodbye, the silver fuselage sliced ​​through the azure sky and flew towards Beijing.

Inside the cabin.

Wang Jinhua has fully entered work mode.

An open briefcase sat at her feet, and she held a phone in her hand, speaking so fast it was as if she were in the middle of a battle.

"Notify the tech department to upgrade the equipment immediately, and max out all computing power!"

"Legal Department, immediately draft the highest-level confidentiality agreement. All personnel involved in the project must sign it before joining the team!"

"..."

Xiao Chen leaned back in the comfortable leather seat, closed his eyes, and seemed to be resting.

His handsome profile, illuminated by the light streaming through the porthole, resembled a sculpture from ancient Greek mythology, so perfect it seemed unreal.

He didn't open his eyes until Wang Jinhua hung up the phone.

"Aunt Hua, don't just contact them."
