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

That evening, Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi talked until very late.

If Xiao Chen hadn't been there, the two might have talked all night.

The next day, Xiao Chen officially joined the filming crew.

His role is simple: he plays Stephen Chow as a child who is bullied by a group of kids.

Then he was rescued by a mute girl who gave him a lollipop.

On set, Xiao Chen met Huang Shengyi, who played the mute girl.

At this time, Huang Shengyi was at the peak of her beauty, as pure as a lotus emerging from the water.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Xiao Chen.

"Wow, it's actually Xiao Chen's younger brother."

"Director, where did you find him to act?"

"She's so good-looking in person!"

She couldn't help but squat down and pinch Xiao Chen's rosy cheeks.

"Hello, Xiao Chen! I'm Sheng Yi, your older sister."

"It's nice to meet you."

Xiao Chen answered very politely.

"Hello, Sister Shengyi, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

Xiao Chen's voice was soft and sweet, melting Huang Shengyi's heart.

"She acts well and looks good too."

"You'll definitely have even more fans in the future!"

Huang Shengyi was generous with her praise.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the filming began.

Xiao Chen got it almost in one take.

Stephen Chow sat behind the monitor, silent, but the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his mood.

Two days later, Xiao Chen finished filming all his scenes.

Before leaving, he specifically sought out Wu Mengda.

Wu Mengda was still in the hospital when he saw Xiao Chen come to visit him and asked with a smile.

"Little one, are you leaving already?"

Xiao Chen nodded, then took out a script from his small backpack and handed it over.

"Uncle Da, this is my own script."

"There's a role in it that I think would be perfect for you."

Wu Mengda was stunned.

He took the script; the cover had three words written on it—"Time Thief".

He flipped through a few pages, and his expression changed.

The script tells the story of a working-class family in Hong Kong, full of human warmth and the imprint of the times.

Xiao Chen wanted him to play the role of an optimistic, boastful uncle who also deeply loved his family.

This role seems to have been tailor-made for him.

Wu Mengda's voice trembled slightly.

"Did you write this script?"

Xiao Chen scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Yes, it's already in the planning stages."

"The main reason I came to Hong Kong this time is that I wanted to give you this script in person."

Wu Mengda closed the script and nodded solemnly.

"Okay! I'll play this role!"

"No payment needed!"

Xiao Chen knew that Wu Mengda was expressing his gratitude and his love for the script.

But Xiao Chen wouldn't take advantage of others.

The payment should be calculated exactly as it should be.

After saying goodbye to Wu Mengda, Xiao Chen followed Ye Huimei, who had come to pick him up, and boarded a plane back to Beijing.

A few hours later, the port city's prosperity was left behind.

The plane landed at Beijing Airport, and the familiar air rushed towards me.

Back in that quiet courtyard house, Xiao Chen felt like his bones were melting.

It's better to say something than to say it.

This tight schedule is really tiring.

He threw himself heavily onto the soft bed.

Before I could even catch my breath, my phone on the bedside table started buzzing.

Xiao Chen was stunned when he saw the caller ID.

Fairy Sister.

Liu Yifei?

Xiao Chen answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone came a cool and arrogant girl's voice, which immediately launched into a tirade.

"Xiao Chen?"

"Have you prepared the meal you owe me?"

The girl's voice carried a sense of detachment from living abroad for a long time, along with a touch of girlish coquettishness.

Xiao Chen leaned against the headboard, listening to the nonsensical questioning, and a stunningly beautiful face flashed through his mind.

That was a fleeting glimpse backstage at an awards ceremony not long ago.

He was not paying attention and bumped into a girl when he turned around.

The girl had long, flowing hair, skin as white as snow, and a face that seemed otherworldly, so clean that it was almost unbearable to look directly at.

He was about to apologize when a woman who looked like her mother hurriedly pulled her away.

He was muttering something about his flight being delayed.

So she still remembers.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"Fairy Sister?"

He spoke softly, his voice languid, like a feather brushing against one's heart.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Clearly, the title "Fairy Sister" surprised her somewhat.

Liu Yifei's voice softened a little, but she still maintained that aloofness.

"Do you remember me?"

Xiao Chen shifted to a more comfortable position.

"Of course I remember."

"I hit you and didn't even have a chance to apologize, so this meal is definitely on me."

His words both gave Liu Yifei face and took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility, which made people feel comfortable.

Sure enough, a hint of smugness crept into Liu Yifei's voice.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."

"I just got back to Beijing. Are you free tomorrow?"

Xiao Chen answered crisply and decisively.

"available."

"My sister decides the location, and I'll be there whenever she calls."

Liu Yifei thought for a moment.

"Then... tomorrow at noon."

"At the 'Tinghe' private kitchen restaurant in Houhai."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Okay, see you there."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen tossed it aside and chuckled for a moment.

Liu Yifei.

This name was renowned throughout the heavens in my past life.

Unexpectedly, their paths crossed in this life in such a peculiar way.

……

The next day, Xiao Chen arrived at "Ting He" fifteen minutes early.

This is a private restaurant located in a courtyard house.

With its tranquil environment and excellent privacy, it is a favorite spot for many celebrities and socialites.

Today, Xiao Chen was wearing a black hoodie and simple sweatpants.

I sat by the window.

Sunlight streamed through the carved wooden window, bathing him in its glow and making his already flawless face even more radiant.

When the waiter served him tea, he couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, thinking to himself, "This boy is really handsome."

At exactly twelve o'clock, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Liu Yifei walked in.

She was dressed simply today, in a light blue dress, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Her face was without makeup, yet she was more captivating than the most exquisite models in magazines.

Especially her eyes, which seemed to hold a pool of clear spring water, always carrying a hint of unintentional aloofness when she looked at people.

However, the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, adding a touch of coquettishness.

She was stunned when she saw Xiao Chen.

I've seen it countless times in photos and on TV, but the visual impact of seeing it in person is a hundred times stronger than seeing it on screen.

She had never seen anyone so beautiful.

Upon seeing Liu Yifei arrive, Xiao Chen stood up, pulled out the chair opposite him, and did so in a natural and gentlemanly manner.

"Fairy Sister, you've arrived."

Liu Yifei snapped out of her daze and sat down opposite him, her ears slightly flushed.

"Have you... been waiting long?"

Xiao Chen pushed the menu in front of her.

"No, I just arrived too."

"See what you want to eat. This restaurant's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice Chicken are pretty good."
