Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

Li Mingxuan had lived in an orphanage since he could remember. At that time, there were quite a few children there, about fifty orphans.

That time was truly wonderful. Although he didn't grow up with his parents, Liu Wenyuan was there for him, taking care of him like a mother, accompanying him as he grew up, and teaching him how to do things.

They played carefree every day, having fun with their friends, playing games, eating and playing, and sleeping when they were tired. This simple lifestyle was their only joy.

Children are simple; as long as they have enough to eat and wear, and have friends to play with, they are happy—that's enough.

As Li Mingxuan grew older, he started going to school.

At school, everyone has parents, and when it was his turn to introduce himself, he felt very inferior.

He didn't know who his parents were, whether they were still alive, or whether they even knew of his existence.

The ridicule, bullying, and beatings from his classmates gradually made him introverted and insecure, often hiding in a corner and crying secretly by himself.

Later, when the teacher found out, she severely criticized those students. Although the ridicule lessened, it still didn't make young Li Mingxuan more cheerful.

His academic performance also declined. Helpless, the teacher approached Liu Wenyuan, explained Li Mingxuan's situation to her, and hoped that they could work together to help Li Mingxuan get out of the shadows.

Liu Wenyuan knew all too well what life was like for the children after they left the orphanage. This wasn't the first time she had experienced something like this. She arrived at the school, didn't say a word, took Li Mingxuan's hand, and left the school.

Li Mingxuan vaguely remembered that at that time, he watched Liu Ma pull his back, his eyes filled with tears, but he never let them fall.

Without saying a word, he followed Liu Wenyuan back to the orphanage.

The two sat under the big locust tree at the orphanage, remaining silent for a long time.

After a while, Xiao Li Mingxuan raised his head, his eyes red, and looked at Liu Wenyuan, asking, "Mom Liu, do I have a mom and dad?"

When Liu Wenyuan saw the little face filled with tears, yet stubbornly refusing to cry, she felt a pang of heartache and hugged him tightly, gently patting his shoulder.

"Aunt Liu doesn't know either, but everyone is born with parents. Some people are with their parents, while others are separated and live in different places, but everyone has a father and a mother."

“Of course, Mingxuan also has that.”

Li Mingxuan nestled in Liu Wenyuan's arms and looked up at her: "Where are my mom and dad?"

Liu Wenyuan paused noticeably for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt Liu doesn't know where they are either, but Mingxuan, you must remember that there is no parent in the world who doesn't love their child."

"They may have had their own unavoidable hardships, or they may no longer be alive, but in their hearts, they must hope that you can grow up happily and healthily, and become successful and start a family in the future."

Li Mingxuan nodded sullenly. As a young child, he did not quite understand what Liu Wenyuan was saying. Why did his parents give birth to him but not raise him or take him with them, leaving him to suffer ridicule and beatings from others, making him a homeless orphan?

Later, Liu Wenyuan said something to him that he always kept in mind, and it was this sentence that helped him regain his confidence.

"Child, you are not alone. Although fate has made you experience the pain of losing loved ones too early, and everyone will experience separation and death, there is still warmth in this world waiting for you."

"You are like a star forgotten in a corner, but you must believe that your light has never been ignored. Many people are willing to open their arms to you and give you love and care. We will accompany you through every difficult day and welcome a bright future together. You are brave and strong. Life may have brought you pain, but it will also give you the strength to grow. Here, you have a home and a group of people who care about you. Aunt Liu is your mother, and each of them is your brother or sister."

Later, Li Mingxuan never asked about his biological parents again. Even if he had some thoughts, he would never show them in front of Liu Wenyuan. It was as if he had grown up in an instant.

From then on, Li Mingxuan became more sensible, studied hard, his grades improved significantly, and he took the initiative to help Liu Wenyuan take care of his younger siblings.

He was only eight or nine years old at that time.

Li Mingxuan recalled his memories of himself and realized that the original owner's experiences were also very bumpy and heartbreaking.

Thinking back to my past life, I had loving parents, yet I was so rebellious, often making them angry. As I grew up, I moved away from them, rarely contacted them, and seldom went back to spend time with them.

Now I've left them forever. I didn't cherish the time I spent with them while I was alive, and I didn't fulfill my filial duties. I only hope that they can live well and have a long and healthy life in the other world.

Li Mingxuan glanced at Liu Wenyuan, stepped forward, gently hugged her, buried his head in her neck, and greedily inhaled her mother's scent, finding solace in this comfort.

“Aunt Liu, there will be more in the future. You still have me,” Li Mingxuan murmured softly.

Liu Wenyuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled with satisfaction and patted Li Mingxuan on the back.

"You brat, how old are you? You're still so naughty."

Hearing Liu Wenyuan's reproachful words, Li Mingxuan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Oh, right, here's your ID card."

After they parted, Liu Wenyuan handed him her ID card, which he took and casually put into his pocket. Then he helped Liu Wenyuan sit on the sofa next to him.

“Aunt Liu, I will send more money to the orphanage in the future. Please buy clothes for the children. The season is about to change, so they need some warm clothes. Also, their diet needs to be improved. They are growing, so it is most important that they are well-nourished.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenyuan shook her head, looked at the handsome boy in front of her, and said with satisfaction:

"No need, there's still some money in the account, enough for now. You should keep some for yourself too. I tell you this every time, but you never listen. How will you find a girlfriend and get married if you don't have any money in the future?"

"Aunt Liu, don't worry, I'll earn lots and lots of money in the future. Let me tell you, I've signed up for the 'Rising Star' singing competition. If I win, I'll not only get a prize, but I'll also become a singer. Are you still worried about not having enough money?"

As Li Mingxuan spoke, he suddenly became passionate, and his already sunny face appeared even more confident.

"Really? My brat is amazing." Although Li Mingxuan said this, Liu Wenyuan just took it as his dream. Having a dream is better than living aimlessly.

"By the way, the girl I told you about last time, she left you her business card. She wants to thank you in person."

As she spoke, she stood up, walked to her desk, took out a business card from the drawer, and handed it to Li Mingxuan.

After taking the business card, Li Mingxuan glanced at it and realized that the beautiful woman's name was Lin Yue, which was quite a nice-sounding name.

He had a rather deep impression of the woman from that night.

A beautiful, sexy, and elegant woman.
