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

Sensing Xiao Chen's gaze, Leslie Cheung turned her head and smiled gently at him.

"What's wrong, Xiao Chen?"

"Are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Chen put down his teacup and walked to his side.

"elder brother."

He spoke, his voice clear and crisp.

You have to promise me one thing.

Leslie Cheung raised an eyebrow.

"Um?"

Xiao Chen looked into his eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"No matter what happens in the future, whether it's something happy or something unhappy, you can tell me."

"Promise me you'll always sing and act happily."

"Always be that peerless and handsome older brother."

Leslie Cheung's smile faltered slightly.

He looked at the twelve-year-old boy in front of him, whose clear eyes were filled with undisguised worry and expectation.

That wasn't just polite talk or perfunctory; it was genuine, heartfelt care.

A warm current instantly flowed through Leslie Cheung's entire body.

In fact, Xiao Chen didn't know.

After meeting him, especially during the days we spent together.

The thoughts of giving up that Leslie Cheung had long since vanished without her realizing it.

This boy possesses a peculiar healing power.

His talent and insight, and the occasional maturity beyond his years.

They were like a ray of light, illuminating the darkest corner of his heart.

Leslie Cheung had long ago decided to live a good life.

For those who love him.

And also for this little guy in front of me, whom I rely on and care for like a brother.

Leslie Cheung reached out and habitually ruffled Xiao Chen's soft hair.

"Okay, I promise you."

"It definitely will."

His solemn promise was not only to Xiao Chen, but also to himself.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the gate.

Ye Huimei shouted from the kitchen.

"Who is it? It's Chinese New Year."

Xiao Chen responded and jogged across the courtyard, unlatching the gate.

"I'll go open the door!"

Outside the door stood three graceful young women and their parents.

The one in the lead had a pair of lively fox-like eyes that immediately curved into crescent moons the moment she saw Xiao Chen.

"Little brother Xiao Chen!"

I missed you so much!

Before Xiao Chen could react, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and the girl had already given him a tight hug.

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised when he saw who it was.

"Yang Mi?"

Who else could it be but Yang Mi, whom we haven't seen in years!

Yang Mi let go of him and pouted, pretending to be angry.

"Hmph! You still recognize me!"

"It's been so many years since we last met, I thought you'd forgotten about us!"

Behind her, a gentle and sweet-looking girl smiled shyly.

"Little brother Xiao Chen, it's been a long time."

It is Tang Yan.

Beside Tang Yan stood a girl who didn't speak, just stood quietly with her back straight.

Her features were cool and aloof, and her temperament was otherworldly. In particular, her eyes were calm as water, yet seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

It's Liu Shishi.

The three little girls who went to kindergarten together back then have all grown into fifteen-year-old young women in the blink of an eye.

She has lost her baby fat and her facial features have matured.

Each of them was beautiful with bright eyes and white teeth, and each had her own unique charm.

Yang Mi is still the same quirky and clever girl, only more lively and daring.

Tang Yan remains gentle and sweet, her smile capable of melting hearts.

Liu Shishi, having studied ballet for many years, has an upright posture and an increasingly refined and elegant temperament; she is a unique sight to behold.

Xiao Chen stepped aside to let them in.

"Why are you here?"

Yang Mi, ever the social butterfly, took Xiao Chen's arm, her big eyes scanning the yard with curiosity.

"Of course I've come to wish you a Happy New Year!"

Wow! This is your home? It looks like a scene from a period drama!

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi followed behind, also looking on with curiosity.

Over the years, they have been silently watching over Xiao Chen.

Watching him on television and in movies, step by step, acting in thrilling films.

They admired and respected them.

At the same time, they are all working hard in their respective fields, dreaming that one day they can stand on the same stage as him.

Hearing the commotion outside, Leslie Cheung also came over.

When he saw Xiao Chen surrounded by three pretty girls, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

Yang Mi's gaze was intense and direct, making no attempt to hide her closeness and admiration for Xiao Chen.

Tang Yan's gaze was gentle yet tinged with shyness, like a flower bud about to bloom.

Although Liu Shishi didn't say much, her cool eyes never left Xiao Chen.

There was curiosity, appreciation, and a hint of something different that she herself hadn't even noticed... in her eyes.

Leslie Cheung walked over to Xiao Chen, nudged him lightly with his elbow, and teased him in a low voice, as if he were someone who had been through it all.

"Not bad, kid."

"He's not very old, but he's quite popular with women."

"You've accumulated quite a few romantic entanglements, haven't you?"

Hearing his brother's words, which were both teasing and serious, Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Before he could even speak, Yang Mi, like a little fox guarding its food, rushed in front of him and looked up at Leslie Cheung with her small face.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

"We've been childhood sweethearts with Xiao Chen! It's a pure, revolutionary friendship!"

She spoke of purity, but her bright, fox-like eyes were practically glued to Xiao Chen.

Leslie Cheung laughed heartily and ruffled her hair.

"Okay, okay, brother was wrong."

"It's pure friendship."

His smile deepened, and he turned to wink at Xiao Chen, his expression clearly saying: See, I understand.

Xiao Chen was extremely helpless.

However, Yang Mi and the other two girls already showed star potential at such a young age.

Although I was initially shy when I saw superstars like Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, I gradually became familiar with them.

Without the constraints, the courtyard became lively and bustling.

The parents of the girls also exchanged pleasantries with Ye Huimei, and soon everyone was invited into the inner room.

The living room was warm and cozy, and the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the television.

This year's program was pretty good.

Sandy Lam, dressed in a simple white dress, was singing "At Least I Still Have You" with deep emotion.

"If I could give up the whole world, at least I still have you, someone I can cherish..."

The singing was gentle and tender.

Yang Mi and the other girls had no attention on the TV at all.

They were like three curious cats, surrounding Xiao Chen and asking him all sorts of questions.

Tang Yan's voice was always so soft and gentle, with a hint of heartache.

"Xiao Chen, is filming hard for you?"

"I cried during the last scene of your movie 'Home Alone'."

Yang Mi was more practical. She tugged at Xiao Chen's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Chen, what's it like working with those big stars?"

"Are they really that glamorous in private?"

"Any gossip I can hear?"
