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

Los Angeles International Airport was bustling with people.

Wang Jinhua stood at the arrival gate, her palms slightly sweaty.

four years ago.

It has been four years since Xiao Chen last filmed a movie.

The last time Xiao Chen acted was on the set of "Shaolin Popeye".

The three-year-old chubby boy attracted a large group of celebrities to swarm around him on set.

After that incident, Xiao Chen never returned to the film crew. Who knows how excited Wang Jinhua was when Xiao Chen took the initiative to contact her this time!

While Wang Jinhua was lost in thought, a figure approached from afar in the crowd.

The boy carried a simple backpack and pushed a luggage cart by himself, looking completely at ease.

Xiao Chen is too eye-catching.

She had short, fluffy black hair with slightly long bangs that fell perfectly across her forehead.

Her skin was fair and translucent, almost reflecting light under the bright airport lights.

The cuteness he had at age three has faded, replaced by a breathtakingly handsome appearance.

He looks exactly like a handsome young boy who stepped out of a comic book.

Wang Jinhua quickly went to greet him. Before she could even speak, Xiao Chen had already seen her, and his beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

"Aunt Hua!"

"I'm starving!"

Wang Jinhua chuckled and reached out to vigorously ruffle Xiao Chen's hair, laughing and scolding him.

"You brat, after sitting on a plane for over ten hours, all you can think about is food?"

Xiao Chen complained with a straight face.

"Airplane food is awful."

That little expression made several foreign tourists who were sneaking glances around burst out laughing.

They secretly wondered if this Asian boy was a child model for some big company.

Wang Jinhua held his hand.

"Come on, Auntie will take you to eat something delicious."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the car that Wang Jinhua had rented in advance.

The car drove along a wide California highway, and the scenery outside the window was completely different from that of Beijing.

Xiao Chen looked at the tall palm trees with curiosity, his eyes showing no confusion, only a deep and unfathomable calm.

This calm made Wang Jinhua's heart jump again.

She cleared her throat and decided to speak her mind.

"Chenchen, Aunt Hua is asking you one last time, are you really sure?"

"In China, Director Zhang has reserved the role of young Yang Guo for you in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

"Director Chen Kaige is also very interested in you."

"As soon as you go back, you'll have access to the best resources."

Wang Jinhua drove with one hand, pointing out the window.

"But here, in Hollywood, we are nothing."

"I don't have any connections here. We have to beg for an audition opportunity, just like all newcomers."

"And the chance of being rejected is 99 percent."

These words demonstrate Wang Jinhua's rationality as a top agent.

in the country, she is the undisputed leader, wielding top-tier resources.

But here, she was just an unknown nobody leading an Asian boy on his adventures.

The risk is too great.

It's so bad that she's been having trouble sleeping every night for the past few days.

Xiao Chen did not answer immediately.

He turned his head, looked at Wang Jinhua's bloodshot eyes, and asked a completely unrelated question.

"Aunt Hua, do you believe me?"

Wang Jinhua was taken aback.

Do you believe him?

How could she not believe it?

He rose to fame at the age of three in the "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" TV series, and later became a household name across the country.

Hasn't this child created enough miracles already?

He possesses a kind of magic beyond his years, making people want to follow him without even realizing it.

Seeing Wang Jinhua's expression, Xiao Chen's lips curled into a sly smile.

"At worst, we can just fail and go back."

"I'm still young, only seven years old. I have plenty of time to start over."

"You're different..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, looking Wang Jinhua up and down.

"At your age, if you don't give it your all now, you'll really be too old."

Wang Jinhua was both angry and amused, and glared at Xiao Chen as if she was angry.

"You little bastard!"

But despite the playful banter, Xiao Chen's joke was like a fire, instantly igniting the resentment in her heart.

Yes.

When has Wang Jinhua ever been afraid?

She started from scratch back then, what storms hasn't she weathered?

It's just a matter of starting over in a different place.

What's there to be afraid of!

Wang Jinhua slapped the steering wheel.

"Let's gamble!"

"My entire career, Wang Jinhua's, rests on the shoulders of you, you little brat!"

Anyone who overheard Wang Jinhua and Xiao Chen's conversation would think Wang Jinhua had gone mad.

Instead of access to top-tier domestic resources, they're accompanying a seven-year-old child on a high-stakes gamble with an uncertain future in Hollywood.

But for some reason, looking at Xiao Chen's excessively handsome profile, Wang Jinhua felt an unprecedented excitement.

……

Fox's audition lenses were taken off-site.

Various child actors sat in the waiting area.

Without exception, they were all white children.

When Wang Jinhua led Xiao Chen in, they immediately became the focus of the entire room.

All eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen.

This Asian boy with black hair and black eyes is truly outstanding.

Even dressed in the simplest white T-shirt and jeans, she outshone the other children who were dressed up.

"Oh God, he is so beautiful."

"Which role is he auditioning for?"

"Perhaps he's the son of a wealthy Japanese businessman, here to experience life?"

The whispers were tinged with amazement and curiosity, and a hint of barely perceptible repulsion.

Wang Jinhua subconsciously tightened her grip on Xiao Chen's hand.

She glanced down at Xiao Chen and noticed that he showed no sign of nervousness.

Instead, he observed the other child actors with great interest, his eyes filled with a professional scrutiny.

Just then, a very arrogant curly-haired boy bumped into them.

He was half a head taller than Xiao Chen, and he looked Xiao Chen up and down with a disdainful expression.

"Hey kid, you've come to the wrong place, haven't you?"

"The audition for the kung fu movie is in the next block."

"Aren't you Easterners just barbarians who only know kung fu?"

This is a blatant provocation.

The parents of the other children all wore expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

Wang Jinhua's face darkened, and she was about to speak when Xiao Chen gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to move.

He looked up at the curly-haired boy and gave him a pure, innocent smile, like that of an angel.

"Yeah?"

"But I heard that they're looking for a kid here who can outwit two bumbling thieves and make them run home crying."

Xiao Chen tilted his head, his smile growing even brighter.

"Coincidentally, I'm best at making people cry."

The curly-haired boy's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He never expected that this Asian boy, who looked like a porcelain doll, would have such a sharp tongue.

A suppressed chuckle rippled through the crowd.

A woman in work clothes came out carrying a folder and shouted loudly.

"Next group, those auditioning for the role of 'Kevin McAllister,' come in and get ready!"

She paused, glanced at the list in her hand, and read out a somewhat awkward Chinese pinyin.

"Xiao Chen!"

Kevin McAllister?!

This Asian boy is actually auditioning for the lead role?!

In an instant, the entire waiting area fell silent.

All eyes were once again focused on Xiao Chen.

Under the complex gazes of the crowd, Xiao Chen calmly walked towards the door of the audition room.

Home Alone

he came.
