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

Only Liu Shishi remained silent, sitting quietly to the side.

Holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, she glanced at Xiao Chen from time to time.

She watched him patiently answer Tang Yan's questions, and effortlessly handle Yang Mi's barrage of questions.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

He seems different from before, yet he also seems unchanged at all.

He's still that boy who would sit alone on the slide in kindergarten.

But now, he is surrounded by an even more dazzling halo.

Xiao Chen wasn't bothered by being surrounded by them.

It's just to appease the young girl.

He could answer questions while also glancing at the TV.

On television, Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei's "Heart Disease" began.

A very classic skit.

As soon as the two old partners appeared, the elders in the room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, this old Zhao is hilarious!"

Outside the window, one dazzling firework after another exploded in the night sky.

The crackling sounds and laughter from inside the house intertwined, creating a vivid picture of New Year's Eve.

The atmosphere was warm and lively.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

The TV broadcast the host's excited countdown.

Everyone stood up, their eyes fixed intently on the screen.

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

"Everyone!"

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their faces beaming with joy.

Ye Huimei and several adults smiled and took out the red envelopes they had prepared in advance from their pockets.

"Come, come, children."

Happy New Year! Say something nice!

Yang Mi reacted the fastest, pulling Xiao Chen over as well.

She cleared her throat and rattled off a long string of words like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

Wishing all uncles and aunts a prosperous and energetic new year.

May everything go well for you, may wealth flow in, and may you always be smiling!

After she finished speaking, she looked at the adults with longing eyes, her little expression lively and cute.

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi also said auspicious words, which, although not as exaggerated as Yang Mi's, were sincere and sweet.

The three girls quickly received thick red envelopes, and they all beamed with joy.

It was Xiao Chen's turn.

He has always been indifferent to this matter.

money?

The amount in his account is probably more than all the adults present have combined in savings.

After buying the courtyard house, he had Ye Huimei use the money she earned from acting.

He has bought several properties in several prime locations in Beijing that are expected to become extremely valuable in the future.

He doesn't care about the money in the red envelopes at all.

He was just about to casually say "Happy New Year" to get by when he was met head-on by Ye Huimei's insistent gaze.

His eyes seemed to say: If you dare to slack off, just wait and see how I deal with you later.

Xiao Chen sighed helplessly to himself.

That's it.

Just consider it a way to make Mom happy.

Xiao Chen stepped forward, a perfectly timed smile on his face, and offered New Year's greetings to each of the elders.

He said this to Yang Mi's parents.

"Uncle and Aunt, I wish you both a prosperous new year."

"Mimi is getting more and more beautiful. I hope she becomes a big star like me soon."

A few words made Yang Mi's parents overjoyed, and Yang Mi herself puffed out her chest, looking very proud.

He then spoke to Tang Yan's parents.

"Wishing Uncle and Aunt good health, and Tangtang a smile that lasts forever, as sweet as honey."

Tang Yan's mother was overjoyed and kept praising his eloquence.

Finally, he looked at Liu Shishi's parents.

"Uncle and Aunt, I wish you a harmonious family."

"Shi Shi's temperament is getting better and better, and her dancing skills are reaching a new level."

Finally, he turned to Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, his smile showing more intimacy and sincerity.

"Brother, Sister Mei."

"Wishing you all a happy new year, may all the movies you want to make be made, and may all the songs you want to sing be sung by thousands."

May all your wishes come true and may everything go smoothly.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes became slightly hot.

Xiao Chen's blessings, though without flowery words, touched their hearts deeply.

The adults in the room were all delighted by his words and praised him highly.

"Look at Xiao Chen, how nicely he puts it!"

"This child has such high emotional intelligence!"

Ye Huimei's face was full of pride as she handed him the thickest red envelope, scolding him playfully.

"You talk too much."

But the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Wang Jinhua: ? ? ? ?

No child?

And me?

Seeing Wang Jinhua staring at him with wide eyes, Xiao Chen finally winked mischievously like a teenager.

"Aunt Hua, I don't need to say New Year's greetings to you, do I?"

"With me here, I guarantee your wealth will flow in."

Good guy.

Don't say it.

Wang Jinhua really had no way to refute it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Chen had a rare moment of leisure and rested at home for the whole day.

I watched TV and chatted with Ye Huimei.

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, just as dawn was breaking, he and Ye Huimei went out together.

They were going to the cemetery to visit their adoptive father.

From the day Xiao Chen traveled through time, this father only existed in photographs and Ye Huimei's memories.

But he and Ye Huimei would come to offer incense to him every year on this day without fail.

The cemetery is particularly desolate in winter, with a thin morning mist shrouding the rows of tombstones.

Ye Huimei gently placed a bunch of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone, took out a soft towel, and carefully wiped the face of the man in the photo.

He looked very gentle, and his features bore a resemblance to Xiao Chen's.

Ye Huimei didn't cry, she just quietly wiped her eyes, her eyes filled with unyielding longing.

Xiao Chen held a black umbrella and stood silently behind her, shielding her from the morning dew.

He looked at the name on the tombstone and made a solemn promise in his heart once again.

Dad, don't worry.

I will take good care of my mother and make her the happiest woman in the world.

……

After the New Year, the pent-up expectations finally found an outlet.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has finally been released worldwide.

This film has attracted much attention since its inception.

Because of the sheer number of book fans, they have their own rigorous imaginations about every character and scene.

On the first day of the film's release, long lines formed outside cinemas around the world, creating an unprecedented spectacle.

Countless fans flocked to the cinema with a mix of trepidation and excitement.

They yearn to see that enchanting magical world, yet fear that a poorly made adaptation will ruin their dreams.

The lights in the movie theater dimmed.

A familiar melody began to play.

When Hedwig's Variations and the Owl flew past the window of No. 4 Privet Drive.

When the enormous Hogwarts Castle was first displayed on the big screen in the night.

Gasps and gasps filled the theater.

So accurate!

The bustling crowds of Diagon Alley, the goblins of Gringotts, the Sorting Hat's song, the moving staircases, and the talking portraits on the walls...

Every word in the book seemed to come alive, becoming a tangible reality right before my eyes.

The production team perfectly transformed that magical world from words into light and shadow.

However, when the boy with round-framed glasses first appeared in front of the camera.

All the shock was replaced by a more intense emotion.

That was shocking!
