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

She was sitting in that terrifying tricycle, smiling at him.

run!

This was the only thought in Er Gouzi's mind.

He abruptly pulled his head back and turned to rush into the yard.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Aunt Li—!"

Xiao Chen focused his energy in his dantian and let out a loud shout that broke the tranquility of the morning.

"Your little dog is trying to run away—!"

That shout had an outstanding effect.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the house.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly plump figure wearing an apron and holding a spatula darted out of the kitchen like a gust of wind.

"You little rascal! Trying to run away again!"

Aunt Li grabbed Er Gouzi by the ear with practiced skill and precise force.

Er Gouzi grimaced in pain.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Grandma, I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"

Er Gouzi's prison break plan was ruthlessly nipped in the bud.

He looked like a wilted bean sprout as Aunt Li dragged him to the center of the yard by his ear.

Aunt Li stood with her hands on her hips, still seething with anger.

"Stay put! Don't even think about leaving the house until you've thoroughly understood your first-grade Chinese textbook!"

After disciplining her grandson, she noticed Xiao Chen and the other two standing at the door, and her anger instantly transformed into a warm smile.

"Oh! It's Xiao Chen!"

"And there's Dilraba and Mr. Sha!"

"Come in and sit down, come in!"

Aunt Li greeted her warmly, her face beaming with joy.

"Xiao Chen, thank you so much!"

"If it weren't for you yesterday, I wouldn't have known my grandson was such a good student!"

"Let me tell you, he was really focused yesterday afternoon, he was engrossed in his book for hours!"

Aunt Li really took Xiao Chen's words to heart. To be honest, which rural family doesn't hope that their family will produce a top scholar?

It would bring glory to the family and change their destiny.

Xiao Chen's words yesterday immediately gave Aunt Li hope.

Everyone hopes that a phoenix will fly out of a chicken coop!

Sha Yi and Dilraba exchanged a glance, both seeing barely suppressed laughter in each other's eyes.

serious?

It must have been restlessness, scratching one's head, and feeling like each day was an eternity!

Xiao Chen got off the tricycle with a humble and sincere smile.

"Aunt Li, you're too kind."

"I just think Er Gouzi is a smart kid, it's a shame he's not studying."

"That's why, the more I thought about it yesterday, the more I felt he had great potential. Just reading textbooks isn't enough, is it?"

He turned to the side, waved his hand, and pointed to the magnificent "mountain of books" behind him.

"So, I specially asked someone to buy these workbooks for Er Gouzi overnight, as a way to send him some warmth."

"From elementary to junior high school, we have carefully selected practice problems for each subject, Huanggang exam papers, five years of college entrance exam preparation materials, three years of mock exams... everything you could want!"

"It's all so that Er Gouzi can study hard, improve every day, and get into Tsinghua or Peking University in the future, bringing you honor!"

These words were spoken with heartfelt sincerity and were deeply moving.

Aunt Li was completely moved.

Looking at Xiao Chen's face, which was even more handsome than those in paintings, and at his sincere eyes, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

What a wonderful child!

He's handsome, kind-hearted, and an internationally renowned superstar, yet he's so concerned about a complete stranger like me, a country bumpkin!

This isn't just offering help; it's practically bringing a golden road to change your destiny!

"Thank you... thank you so much! Xiao Chen! You're truly a great benefactor to our family!"

Aunt Li was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently. She held onto Xiao Chen's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She turned around, grabbed Er Gouzi who was still in a daze, and slapped him on the back of the head.

"What are you waiting for! Quickly thank Brother Xiao Chen!"

"Look how good your brother is to you! He goes to great lengths for your studies!"

Er Gouzi was already like a frostbitten eggplant, completely wilted.

At that moment, he slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over his grandmother's shoulder, and looked desperately at the tricycle.

Under the sunlight, those brightly colored covers shimmered with a dazzling light.

"Huanggang Little Champion", "A Book of Paint", "53 Days of Practice"...

Each name was like a heavy hammer, striking his heart hard.

That's not a book.

That was a cage that imprisoned his freedom, a torture device that extinguished his joy, and the dark and hopeless years of his youth that would follow!

Fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

"Wow--!"

A deafening wail erupted from Er Gouzi's mouth.

He couldn't hold on any longer. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, crying his heart out and gasping for breath.

"I don't want a wife anymore!"

"I never want a wife again!"

The sound of crying was heartbreaking to hear and brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it.

Aunt Li was startled and quickly squatted down to comfort her.

"Oh, my dear grandson, why are you crying?"

"This is something to be happy about!"

"Look how many books your brother gave you!"

Er Gouzi cried even harder, kicking his legs as he cried and shouting incoherently.

"I don't want to! I don't want to study!"

"I want to go out and play! Wow—!"

This sudden scene completely broke down the defenses of Sha Yi and Dilraba.

The two could no longer hold back, turned around, their shoulders shaking with laughter.

That's so mean!

Xiao Chen's move was a decisive blow, a psychological attack!

It's much more useful than stories about the Big Bad Wolf or the Big Bad Wolf.

It is estimated that from today onwards, the name "Xiao Chen" will become Er Gouzi's biggest nightmare during his childhood.

If he misbehaves again, Aunt Li won't even need to lift a finger; she'll just say, "If you don't behave, I'll have Brother Xiao Chen send you a whole truckload of workbooks!"

It guarantees a cure and immediate results.

Even the guy carrying the camera was shaking slightly, clearly trying to suppress his laughter.

Even the production team's directors are watching the leaked images.

Everyone was laughing so hard they were almost crying.

"To kill someone, you must destroy their spirit! Xiao Shen is truly destroying their spirit!"

"Ergouzi: I've borne a weight of knowledge that I shouldn't have to bear at my age."

"I estimate the psychological trauma Er Gouzi has suffered is large enough to cover the entire village."

Xiao Chen: Don't be afraid, your brother is here to bring you warmth. Er Gouzi: I don't believe you!

"The ultimate tool for overcoming internet addiction and excessive screen time: Xiao Chen's exercise book—you deserve it!"

Amidst Er Gouzi's earth-shattering cries and Aunt Li's profuse expressions of gratitude.

Xiao Chen, having successfully completed his mission, returned to the Mushroom House with Sha Yi and Reba.

The heart-wrenching screams of Er Gouzi could still be heard from time to time.

……

When they returned to the Mushroom House, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, while Liu Yifei was quietly reading the script.

Leslie Cheung put down his teacup and asked with a smile.

"How is it? Has the 'warmth' been delivered?"

They had just seen the production crew members sneaking around in front of the screen.
