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

In the snowy night of Beijing, neon lights stretched into blurry ribbons of light that flashed by.

Wang Jinhua drove very steadily, glancing occasionally at the small figure in the rearview mirror.

A meal of dumplings.

These four simple words easily shattered the hard shell she had built up over the years.

Wang Jinhua felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

That kid.

He was truly her natural nemesis.

The old alley still smelled of gunpowder from the burnt-out shells. Wang Jinhua eagerly picked up the sleepy-eyed Xiao Chen and carried him step by step into the alley.

Ye Huimei followed behind, carrying large and small bags in her hands.

"Jinhua, slow down, don't fall."

Wang Jinhua answered with a smile.

"Don't worry, Huimei, I'm very strong."

As soon as the door opened, a fragrant aroma of pork, cabbage, and rich broth wafted out.

Ye Huimei put down her things and quickly went into the kitchen.

"Quick, Jinhua, put Chenchen on the sofa and let him sleep a little longer."

"The dumplings were all wrapped a long time ago, I'll go cook them now!"

Just as Ye Huimei turned to walk into the kitchen, a rapid knocking sounded on the door.

Ye Huimei, wearing an apron, peeked out from the kitchen.

Who is it?

"It's so late."

Wang Jinhua went to open the door, and a woman with striking, deep-set features stood outside.

The woman was holding a baby in her arms, wrapped up like a little dumpling, with only a pair of big, dark eyes peeking out as she curiously peered into the room.

Reyila had met Wang Jinhua before, so she was somewhat surprised to see her now.

"Jin Hua? What are you doing here?"

After saying that, he smiled and looked at Ye Huimei in the inner room.

"Huimei! Happy New Year! I just came from my mom's and stopped by to see you."

"Let this little guy share in our big star's joy!"

The little one in her arms was none other than Dilraba, who had just turned one year old.

Ye Huimei warmly welcomed them in.

"Come in, come in! It's so cold outside!"

As soon as Dilraba entered the room, her beautiful big eyes accurately locked onto Xiao Chen, who was asleep on the sofa.

She let out a soft "ya," and her chubby little hands struggled to lunge forward.

Reyila was amused by her.

"This little girl's eyes widened when she saw Chenchen singing on TV."

She kept pointing at the TV and making cooing noises, insisting that I take her to find the little boy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen on the sofa seemed to sense something, his long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He had just woken up, his eyes still a little blurry, but his face, under the warm yellow light, was so beautiful it was almost unreal.

Dilraba's eyes lit up instantly!

She could no longer hold back and struggled violently in Reyila's arms.

Reyila had no choice but to put her on the ground.

The little guy, who had just learned to walk, immediately took his short legs and stumbled towards Xiao Chen.

"Ouch, slow down, my little darling!"

Little Reba completely ignored her mother's exclamation, rushed to the sofa, and hugged Xiao Chen's leg.

It was making satisfied babbling sounds.

Xiao Chen: ...

The adults in the living room couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

Wang Jinhua joked with a smile.

"This little girl is such a sucker for good looks."

Reyila helplessly spread her hands.

"you do not say."

"Who can blame us when Chenchen is so adorable?"

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Ye Huimei looked puzzled.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Why did they all come at the same time?"

As soon as the door opened, three families of adults stood outside, each holding the hand of a pretty little girl.

"Sister Huimei, Happy New Year! We've brought the kids to wish Chenchen a Happy New Year!"

"Yes, my Mimi watched the Spring Festival Gala and kept pestering me to come find Xiao Chen!"

"Our Shishi is the same!"

"Yan Yan too!"

The visitors were the parents of Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan, who attended the same kindergarten as Xiao Chen.

In an instant, the once spacious living room became crowded.

The adults exchanged pleasantries, but the children's goals were remarkably unified.

As soon as the three little girls entered the room, their eyes were immediately fixed on Xiao Chen, whose leg was being hugged by Dilraba.

"Little brother Xiao Chen!"

Yang Mi rushed over immediately, pushing aside Dilraba who was still clinging to Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen! You sang so beautifully on TV just now!"

"My mom cried while watching it!"

Dilraba was pushed aside and immediately became unhappy.

With a pout, she opened her toothless mouth and started yelling at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi wasn't afraid of a little baby who couldn't even speak clearly. She made a face at Dilraba and then turned around to announce.

"Xiao Chen, I've made up my mind, you'll be my boyfriend from now on!"

puff--!

Wang Jinhua, who was drinking water, spat it out.

Ye Huimei and Reyila were also startled and coughed.

What the hell? !

Tang Yan, who was following behind, blushed instantly and tugged at Yang Mi's sleeve.

"Mimi, you...you shouldn't talk nonsense..."

Yang Mi stood with her hands on her hips, completely self-righteous.

"I wasn't making this up!"

"The kindergarten teachers all said, if you like something, you should say it!"

She paused, then added.

"Besides, my mom said, 'A woman three years older than her husband is like holding a gold brick!'"

"I'm three years older than you. If you marry me, you'll be carrying a huge gold brick!"

? ? ? ?

Cough cough cough cough!

This time it was all the adults coughing together.

Yang Mi's mother wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"This child usually likes to watch random TV dramas."

"Children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint..."

No one noticed that Liu Shishi, who had been standing quietly to the side, was now staring at Xiao Chen with an unusually serious gaze.

She wasn't as boisterous as Yang Mi, nor was she as shy as Tang Yan.

After a long while, Liu Shishi finally spoke seriously.

"Xiao Chen, I want to be an actor and enter the entertainment industry in the future."

"That way I can stay with you forever."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi immediately retorted, not to be outdone.

"Me too! I want to be in the entertainment industry!"

"I want to be with Xiao Chen too!"

Tang Yan blushed and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"I...I want some too..."

Even Dilraba, who was still clinging to Xiao Chen's other leg and refusing to let go, seemed to understand something.

She tilted her little face up and called out to Xiao Chen twice, as if to say, "I'm here! I'm here!"

Xiao Chen was surrounded by this group of little girls, and he was at his wit's end.

After the initial shock, the adults in the living room finally burst into laughter.

"Oh my goodness, Huimei, your Chenchen is just too charming!"

"Absolutely! She's already a heartthrob at such a young age. What will she be like when she grows up?"

Wang Jinhua laughed until tears almost came out. She looked at Xiao Chen, who was surrounded by girls, but her mind was racing with calculations.

It looks like the company's public relations department will be quite busy from now on.

Ye Huimei felt both proud and amused, and walked over to pat each of the little girls' heads.

"Alright, alright, your little brother Xiao Chen just got off the stage, he must be exhausted, let him rest first."

"How about Auntie cooks dumplings for you? We'll have pork and cabbage dumplings, and also some seafood dumplings!"

The allure of delicious food temporarily triumphed over the attraction of physical beauty.

The little girls reluctantly let go of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was finally free and silently shrank into the corner of the sofa.

It seems his acting career in this life is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Especially in terms of romantic luck.
