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

However, the child's obsession was beyond imagination. He hugged Liu Yifei's legs even tighter and shook his head like a rattle.

"I won't let go! You're my wife! My mother said that if you see something you like, you have to take it!"

Now, even Sha Yi didn't know what to do. The other person was just a child; you couldn't hit him, you couldn't scold him, and you were afraid of hurting him if you pulled him forcefully. Everyone was at a loss for what to do in front of the camera.

Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung exchanged a helpless glance, their faces full of amusement and exasperation. Dilraba covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress her laughter, her shoulders shaking.

As the situation was about to reach a stalemate, Liu Yifei's face grew increasingly red.

Just then, a hand reached out.

Xiao Chen walked up to Liu Yifei without her noticing. He didn't say anything, but simply bent down and lifted the child who was clinging to his leg as easily as if he were lifting a kitten by the scruff of its neck.

The little boy's feet were off the ground, dangling in the air, looking completely bewildered.

He finally released his grip on Liu Yifei.

Xiao Chen pulled him in front of him and made him look at him. He wasn't angry; in fact, he even had a faint smile on his face.

He looked at the stubborn little guy with snot bubbles hanging from his nose and spoke slowly in a serious tone.

"Kid, you have good taste."

He first gave his approval.

Then, he changed the subject, lowered his voice, and gave a warning that sounded like a "man's warning."

"But everything has to be done in a first-come, first-served manner. You have to queue, understand?"

His nonchalant tone and matter-of-fact attitude made it seem as if he were the one at the front of the line.

One sentence left all the adults present stunned.

The next second, bursts of laughter echoed throughout the country lane.

Sha Yi laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

"Hahahaha! Line up! Xiao Chen, you little brat..."

He rested one hand on his knee and pointed exaggeratedly at Xiao Chen with the other, tears welling up in his eyes.

Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung couldn't help but smile, exchanging a loving and appreciative smile.

This younger brother always manages to defuse the most awkward situations with the simplest words, while also creating unparalleled entertainment value.

Dilraba laughed so hard she almost clung to Anita Mui, her shoulders shaking like a leaf.

She knew her childhood sweetheart brother all too well; on the surface, he was gentle and refined, but deep down he had a mischievous streak.

Liu Yifei, who was at the center of the storm, had an even deeper blush on her face, like a ripe peach that could almost drip water.

Her heart was pounding, as if a lively little deer was leaping inside her chest.

What did Xiao Chen mean by what he just said?

Was he joking, or...?

Those clear, peach-blossom eyes were now filled with subtle smiles as they looked at her without any bias.

Even though it was a public place, and there were countless cameras pointed at them, Liu Yifei felt as if the whole world had gone silent, leaving only him and her.

The phrase "you have to queue" was like an ambiguous whisper, like a pebble thrown into the lake of her heart, creating ripples that spread outwards.

Is she overthinking it?

She must be overthinking it.

He's Xiao Chen, after all.

His life is like a legendary tale with extraordinary abilities, and he has never stopped being surrounded by beautiful women.

I was just a guest on this episode.

But... what if?

Liu Yifei's heart pounded uncontrollably, and even her breathing became somewhat cautious.

The director was so excited behind the monitor that he almost jumped for joy.

"A bombshell! A massive bombshell!"

He waved his arms excitedly and shouted to the assistant director next to him.

"Quick! Give Xiao Chen and Liu Yifei a close-up!"

"Yes! That's the look! That's the atmosphere!"

"My goodness, the chemistry between these two is incredible!"

He could already foresee that after this episode aired, the hashtag #XiaoChenLiuYifeiQueuingUp# would definitely jump to the top of the trending searches and stay there for at least three days!

All the cameramen received the order, and their long lenses and short lenses were instantly pointed at Xiao Chen and Liu Yifei.

An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air, making even the country breeze seem gentler.

However, just when everyone thought Xiao Chen would say something more to prolong this ambiguous relationship...

He suddenly twisted his wrist, turning the little boy he was holding in the air around.

He was made to face a camera that was following him from a distance.

Xiao Chen raised his other hand and pointed to the dark lens. His smile remained gentle, but his tone carried a persuasive seriousness.

"Hey kid, look."

He paused, and after everyone's attention was drawn, he continued slowly and deliberately:

"See that? That's a camera."

"The pretty lady you like, she's an actress."

"Behind the camera, there are so many people who like her; they're all lining up."

"So, we can't cut in line. We should be polite and well-mannered children, right?"

The atmosphere at the scene changed instantly after those words were spoken.

So... he was talking about fans!

Sha Yi suddenly realized and slapped his thigh.

"Oh—so this is the queue!"

"Hey! You scared me! I thought..."

As he spoke, he gave Xiao Chen and Liu Yifei a meaningful look, but he didn't say what he meant. Everyone understood.

Clearly, Xiao Chen's words were misunderstood by more than just a few people.

This is a misunderstanding by everyone.

Dilraba pursed her lips and muttered something under her breath.

"I knew it..."

Her brother Xiao Chen is like a block of wood when it comes to relationships.

How could someone suddenly express their thoughts so directly?

Over the years, how many people have publicly expressed their liking for him? If Xiao Chen were truly in love, he would have said so long ago.

Instead of using the opportunity of disciplining a child to secretly say it out loud.

Liu Yifei's heart, which had just been thrown high into the air, gently and slowly returned to its place.

She carried a hint of disappointment that she herself was unwilling to admit.

Yes, how could he possibly be talking about himself?

I was just being delusional.

She lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, twirling the ends of her hair with her fingers to conceal the fleeting sadness in her eyes.

I forced myself to put on a polite smile, but felt empty inside.

After all these years, she had long since seen through her own heart and realized that Xiao Chen had no other feelings for her whatsoever.

However, the little boy clearly did not understand the convoluted conversation in the adult world.

His logic was very simple: this tall, wicked guy wouldn't let him hug the pretty lady!
