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

Ye Huimei, in particular, immediately softened when she heard her son say that he was used to living there and that it was boring.

For her, nothing is more important than the happiness of not having a son.

As long as my son is happy, it doesn't matter where we live.

She looked at Wang Jinhua.

"Jinhua, how about we listen to Xiaochen?"

Wang Jinhua is still struggling with this dilemma.

Her rational mind as an agent told her that a villa was a better option.

But her intuition as a collaborator reminded her that Xiao Chen's decisions were never wrong.

She looked into Xiao Chen's eyes and finally let out a long breath.

"Alright."

"Then let's buy a courtyard house!"

"I'll ask someone to look for it right away."

"I guarantee I'll find you a top-tier courtyard house with a front garden, a back garage, and right on Chang'an Avenue!"

And that's how it was settled.

Finding a courtyard house is a slow and gradual process; you can't rush it.

Wang Jinhua mobilized all her connections and began searching for suitable courtyards in various hutongs of Beijing.

The days passed by.

Another two weeks later, news came from the production team of "Farewell My Concubine".

With all adult scenes completed, the film has officially entered the post-production stage.

That afternoon, Xiao Chen was in the yard helping Ye Huimei pick vegetables when the phone inside the house suddenly rang.

Ye Huimei quickly wiped her hands and ran into the house to answer the call.

"Feed? Hello, who are you looking for?"

A gentle, smiling male voice came from the other end of the phone, speaking in Mandarin with a slight Hong Kong accent.

"Excuse me, is this Xiao Chen's house?"

"I'm looking for Xiao Chen."

Ye Huimei was taken aback.

This voice sounds familiar...

Before she could remember who it was, Xiao Chen walked over from behind and naturally extended his hand.

"Mom, I'll come pick you up."

Ye Huimei handed him the phone.

Xiao Chen put the microphone to his ear.

"elder brother?"

Leslie Cheung chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, his voice full of pleasure.

"It's me, Xiao Chen."

"Do you remember what my brother said when filming wrapped?"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.

"Of course I remember."

"You said you wanted to invite me to your concert."

Leslie Cheung answered with a smile.

"That's right."

"My concert with Anita Mui is next week at the Hong Kong Coliseum."

"My brother would like to invite you to come on stage as our most important guest, okay?"

Xiao Chen did not hesitate.

"good!"

This is not just a promise, but a sincere invitation between friends.

Xiao Chen hung up the phone, while Ye Huimei behind him was still a little confused.

Looking at the smile on her son's face, she couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Chen, what was that just now...?"

Xiao Chen put the phone back in its place, his tone light and cheerful.

"Brother Leslie Cheung".

"Mom, we're going to Hong Kong next week."

Ye Huimei's brain went blank for a moment.

"Hong Kong?"

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Chen spoke of it casually.

"My brother and Sister Anita Mui were having a concert and they invited me to be a guest performer."

Ye Huimei was completely stunned.

concert?

Guest?

Her son is going to be a guest performer at the concerts of two top-tier singers.

This sounds even less realistic than buying a courtyard house!

She opened her mouth, a bellyful of questions welling up inside, but in the end, they all boiled down to a dry, unhelpful instruction.

"Then... you'd better do your best."

"I can't let my older brother and sister down."

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, then took her hand and shook it.

"Don't worry, Mom."

Two days later, the plane landed smoothly at Kai Tak Airport.

The humid, slightly salty air rushed towards them, announcing that they had arrived in this completely different city.

Ye Huimei held Xiao Chen's hand with one hand and carried a small suitcase with the other.

As soon as she stepped out of the arrival hall, she saw two extremely familiar figures.

The man wore a simple white shirt with two buttons undone, giving him a languid yet charming look.

He was wearing sunglasses, a gentle smile on his lips, and waving at them.

The woman was dressed in a sleek black jumpsuit, with short, chic hair, striking red lips, and an aura so powerful that it was difficult to look directly at her.

It's Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui!

Previously, Wang Jinhua often accompanied Xiao Chen to the set of "Farewell My Concubine".

In addition, since Xiao Chen's scenes as a child actor did not require the presence of adult actors, Ye Huimei had never met Leslie Cheung.

In other words, she had only seen these two superstars in movies and on television.

At that moment, they were standing alive just a few meters away.

The impact was so strong that she could barely breathe.

Keen-eyed passengers nearby recognized them and let out suppressed gasps.

But the two of them didn't care at all; their eyes remained fixed on that small figure the whole time.

"Xiao Chen!"

Mei Yanfang rushed over first and gave him a big kiss on his fair cheek.

"Oh my, let me see if you've grown taller again!"

"You've gotten even more handsome?"

Her Mandarin had a strong Hong Kong accent, but anyone could hear the intimacy and affection in her tone.

Leslie Cheung walked over with a smile and ruffled Xiao Chen's hair.

"Amei, be gentle, don't scare Xiaochen."

His gaze shifted to Ye Huimei, who was completely petrified to the side, and he politely extended his hand.

"Hello, are you Ms. Yip? I'm Leslie Cheung."

"You must have had a long journey."

Ye Huimei, like a puppet whose switch had been flipped, mechanically reached out her hand and gently shook his.

"Hello... Mr. Zhang."

"Miss Mei... Miss Mei..."

Leslie Cheung smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Just call me brother."

"That's what Xiao Chen is called."

Mei Yanfang also let go of Xiao Chen and warmly took Ye Huimei's arm.

"Yes, Miss Ye, just call me Amei, don't be so polite!"

"Come on, come on, the car's waiting outside. Let's go eat first, a welcome dinner for you!"

Ye Huimei was half-pushed and half-carried forward, her mind still a complete mess.

She felt as if she had stepped into a movie, and everything around her seemed so unreal.

A superstar personally greeted him at the airport?

Show them concern and care, and even take them out to eat?

All of this is because of her son, Xiao Chen.

She looked down at Xiao Chen, who was being led by the hand by Leslie Cheung and was looking up at him talking to him.

A surge of indescribable pride and bewilderment welled up within me.

This son.

It was such a worthwhile birth!

The time that followed felt like a dream to Ye Huimei.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui showed great hospitality, driving them around almost the entire Hong Kong Island.

They went to the most authentic tea restaurant, where the table was filled with crystal-clear shrimp dumplings and soft, sweet lava buns.

Leslie Cheung carefully peeled a shrimp for Xiao Chen, dipped it in soy sauce and vinegar, and put it in his bowl.

Anita Mui kept serving food to Yeh Hui-mei, enthusiastically introducing the origin and characteristics of each dim sum dish.

They then went to the bustling Causeway Bay.

In the largest shopping mall, Mei Yanfang tirelessly dragged Xiao Chen to try on one outfit after another.

"This looks great!"

"Wow, you look like a little prince in this!"

"No, no, I have to buy this one too!"

Anything Xiao Chen wore, she waved her hand and told the shop assistants to wrap it all up.

Ye Huimei followed behind, looking at the paper bags printed with luxury brand logos.

Several times she tried to speak up to stop him, but Mui Yan-fong shut her down with a simple "It's only right that she's buying clothes for her brother."

They even went to Ocean Park and watched schools of fish swim by in front of the huge aquarium facade.

Leslie Cheung crouched down and picked up Xiao Chen so that he could see him more clearly.

I patiently explained the names of various marine creatures to him.

Ye Huimei barely said a word the whole way.

She simply watched silently as these two dazzling superstars poured all their affection into their son.

That feeling was wonderful.

She finally understood that the relationship between her son and them was not just that of co-stars.

It's a deeper bond, like that of family.
