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

Xiao Chen tilted his head, his long eyelashes fluttering, and looked at Qiu Shuzhen with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"elder sister?"

"Aren't we stopping filming?"

That "sister" was like a soft feather, gently brushing against Qiu Shuzhen's heart.

Is Hong Wending, whose cold gaze suffocated her just now, really the same person as the obedient Xiao Chen in front of her?

How can a three-year-old child distinguish between roles and self so clearly?

While Chiu Shu-chen was still in a daze, Wang Jing was already incredibly excited.

"One more take! Shuzhen, keep that feeling!"

"No, it has to be even better than before!"

Wang Jing thought about it carefully.

"How about this, you try a different approach this time, be gentle, and treat him like your most beloved younger brother."

"You want to get the secret out of him, but you don't want to hurt him! That feeling of loving him so much yet being so anxious! Do you understand?"

Chiu Shu-chen took a deep breath and gave Wang Jing an OK sign.

"Action!"

The camera is focused on the two people.

When she looked up again, Qiu Shuzhen's eyes were full of tenderness and doting as she looked at Xiao Chen.

She crouched down, not in a hurry to speak, but reached out and gently tidied Xiao Chen's slightly messy hair.

"Little brother, are you tired after running for so long?"

Xiao Chen paused slightly.

Hong Wending's character is one of wariness and precociousness; he should resist any attempts to befriend him.

But the maternal glow that Qiu Shuzhen exuded at this moment was too dazzling.

Therefore, this role cannot be played like before.

They must act out a feeling of instinctive resistance, yet also a yearning for warmth.

Xiao Chen quickly adjusted his state.

His small face remained expressionless, and his eyes remained alert.

This time, however, he did not dodge Qiu Shuzhen's touch. In fact, his eyelashes trembled slightly when her fingertips brushed across his forehead.

It was a wonderful balance between instinctive dependence and deliberate alienation!

Qiu Shuzhen's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Xiao Chen had once again caught up with her performance and given her a 100% response!

"Did your daddy... tell you where those important things are?"

"Tell your sister, and she'll buy you candy, okay?"

Xiao Chen finally raised his eyes, and there seemed to be a slight, almost imperceptible wavering in those cold eyes.

He didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Qiu Shuzhen.

Silence is sometimes a more powerful expression than any words.

"Cut!"

Wang Jing's voice cracked with excitement.

"Perfect! Perfect! This is exactly how it feels!"

"Shuzhen! Xiaochen! You two are amazing!"

Not only was Wang Jing excited, but the female staff members next to him were also overflowing with maternal love as they looked at Xiao Chen.

"Oh my god, I can't take it anymore! For a split second just now, I really wanted to rush up and hug him!"

"When Xiaochen was patted on the head by Shuzhen, that little expression on his face... ah! My heart broke!"

"Miss Ye is so lucky! Having such a son, she must be smiling in her sleep!"

Ye Huimei was indeed smiling.

His expression was one of extreme pride.

Her precious son is such a great asset to her!

Wang Jing strode over and rushed towards Ye Huimei with a clear objective.

"Miss Ye!"

"Name your price!"

Ye Huimei was taken aback.

"Director Wang, what's wrong...?"

Wang Jing was resolute and made no attempt to conceal his intentions.

"I want this child!"

"As long as you, as the guardian, agree, Xiao Chen will be my, Wang Jing's, go-to child star from now on!"

"I guarantee that within three years, I'll make him the most popular child star in Hong Kong!"

"He will have a place in all my future films!"

The minor characters around them all heard this and cast envious glances at Ye Huimei.

This is Wang Jing's promise.

The ship that so many celebrities would fight tooth and nail to get on, stopped so easily in front of a three-year-old child.

Ye Huimei's heart pounded.

She knew this was a tremendous opportunity, but...

Yeh Hui-mei looked at her son, who was being fed snacks by Chiu Shu-chen and several female staff members not far away.

Xiao Chen smiled innocently and carefree.

He had no idea that a negotiation that would determine his future was taking place here.

Ye Huimei suddenly calmed down.

"Director Wang, thank you for your kindness."

"But Chenchen is still too young. I think... we should ask him what he thinks first."

Wang Jing was stunned.

What does it mean to ask a three-year-old child?

What does he know?

However, looking into Ye Huimei's determined eyes, he swallowed back the rebuttal that was on the tip of his tongue.

He could tell that the mother was serious.

Wang Jing nodded, knowing that such things couldn't be forced.

"Then ask away, I'll wait for your answer!"

……

In the evening, after filming all day, it was finally time to rest.

Ye Huimei carried Xiao Chen back to the room and handed him a bottle of his favorite yogurt.

Seeing him hold it in his tiny hands, sucking on the straw with a slurping sound, my heart instantly softened.

"Chenchen, Mommy has a question for you."

Xiao Chen raised his head, a ring of white milk stains still around his mouth.

"Um?"

Ye Huimei thought for a moment and decided to ask Xiao Chen in a language he could understand.

"Did you enjoy pretending to be someone else in front of all those uncles and aunties?"

Xiao Chen blurted it out almost without thinking.

"like!"

Ye Huimei's heart skipped a beat.

"Does Chenchen want to be like that in the future?"

Xiao Chen answered without hesitation.

"think!"

Whether it was Ye Huimei's imagination or not, she actually saw a pure longing in Xiao Chen's eyes.

It seems he really enjoys acting.

Ye Huimei made up her mind.

Since her son likes it, she, as his mother, should fully support him.

For Chenchen right now, collaborating with Wang Jing is undoubtedly the best choice.

Ye Huimei smiled gently and was about to get up to go find Wang Jing.

Before she could even stand up, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke again.

"I also want to be a scientist! To build a really big rocket and fly to the sky to see the stars!"

"And another thing! I also want to be a police officer and arrest all the bad guys!"

"Oh, right! I also want to be a painter! To paint lots and lots of beautiful pictures!"

A string of dreams came out of Xiao Chen's mouth, each one sounding so appealing.

Ye Huimei froze in place as she prepared to get up.

She looked at her son's face, which was flushed with excitement, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Yes.

Xiao Chen is only three years old.

A three-year-old child thinks acting is fun today and wants to be an actor; tomorrow, seeing how cool it is for police to catch bad guys, he wants to be a policeman.

His future holds infinite possibilities. How can we hastily confine his path for the next ten years or so with a single contract?

Ye Huimei's heart was finally at ease.

She sat up straight, hugged Xiao Chen, and kissed him on the forehead.

"Our Chenchen is amazing, she has so many dreams."

"Then let's wait until Chenchen is a little older, until he's figured out what he really wants to do, and then we'll make a decision, okay?"

Xiao Chen nodded obediently.

"good!"

Xiao Chen buried his face in his mother's warm embrace, a smile playing on his lips that went unnoticed.

He did it on purpose.

She had finally managed to politely decline Wang Jing's offer.

We can't let Ye Huimei sign a contract with Wang Jing again in a muddle.

He wasn't content with just being a top child star in Hong Kong after being given a second chance at life.

Anyway, Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry.

After all, his life journey has only just begun.
