In the early morning, the sun gradually rose and the warm sunlight shone into the room.

Ning Chaoyan opened her eyes drowsily. In fact, she tossed and turned last night and didn't fall asleep until dawn, but the light coming in from the window still woke her up.

She suddenly sat up from the bed, thinking about everything that happened yesterday, as if it were a dream.

Ning Chaoyan seemed to remember something, rushed out of the bedroom, walked outside, and saw three people in the restaurant, their father, mother, and brother!

"Yanyan, you're up. I was just about to ask your brother to wake you up for dinner." Ning's mother Yue Qiang turned around and saw Ning Chaoyan. "Oh, what's wrong, my baby? Why are you crying? Who bullied you, or did you have a nightmare last night? Don't cry, Yanyan~"

When Ning Chaoyan saw her mother standing in front of her and talking to her softly, she couldn't hold back her tears and her mother hugged her in her arms, sobbing.

Did she have a nightmare? The years when her family was in trouble and her parents died one after another were like a nightmare that she could not get out of. Now that she can see her parents again, she can't help but feel very sad. Suddenly, she was grateful to the "Dream Come True Assistant" who suddenly appeared and gave her such an adventure.

Ning Jiang saw his daughter crying so sadly, and he quickly stood up and walked to their side, "Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying so sadly? Tell mom and dad if you have anything to say. Don't keep it to yourself. If you are embarrassed to tell mom and dad, then tell your brother. Don't cry anymore."

Ning Yuanluo failed to squeeze in a seat next to his sister, so he could only find another way to speak, "Why are you crying like this so early in the morning? Oh, your little face is wrinkled from crying. Please stop crying, or your snot and tears will get all over me."

Ning Chaoyan raised her head from Yue Qiang's arms when she heard her brother's teasing. She glared at the cynical young man in front of her. Her brother was always like this, always rude. In her previous life, after her father passed away, her brother seemed to have matured overnight and became the pillar of the family, supporting her and her mother.

"Pa." Ning Jiang couldn't stand his son's behavior and couldn't help but slap him.

"Oh, Dad, what are you doing? I'm just comforting my sister. Look, she's not crying anymore." Ning Yuanluo covered the back of his head where Ning Jiang had slapped him, and cried out in pain.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Yue Qiang tried to smooth things over, "Yanyan, if there is anything you want to say, just tell us. Mom, Dad and brother will help you with some advice. It's okay if you don't want to say it, but don't be afraid. We are all your strong backers. Okay, Yanyan, how about we go have breakfast first? I think you're hungry too."

"It's nothing, mom. No one bullied me. I just had a very long and terrible nightmare. I was a little scared." Ning Chaoyan was still crying. She held her mom with one hand and her dad with the other, and walked to the dining table. "Let's go have breakfast."

Ning Yuanluo, who was left alone, had no choice but to put his hands in his pockets and sit down behind to have breakfast together.

After the family had breakfast, Ning Jiang and Yue Qiang went to work together. Ning Yuanluo lazily leaned on the sofa. Ning Chaoyan looked at him with a boneless look and said unhappily, "How come you have time to sit idle in the living room today?"

"What do you think?" Ning Yuanluo's voice revealed a hint of laziness. "It's because someone cried so hard early in the morning. My parents were worried, so they gave me a day off to accompany my eldest daughter. So my job today is to make our eldest daughter happy."

Ning Yuanluo suddenly stood up, walked to Ning Chaoyan, and saluted in the manner of a British butler, "Miss Ning, do you have any instructions?"

Ning Chaoyan looked at his brother who was showing off, feeling a little amused. It was great to see such a brother. Nothing was more important than having the whole family together. Ning Chaoyan pulled his brother who was showing off to sit on the sofa, leaned over affectionately, and said, "Brother, I want to discuss something with you."

Ning Yuanluo tilted his head and glanced at his sister warily. He was suddenly so clingy, could it be a trick? Ning Chaoyan looked at his expression, and suddenly stood up and rushed into the bedroom, holding a colorful list, sat back on the sofa, and handed the list to Ning Yuanluo.

Ning Yuanluo looked at the list in front of him somewhat unexpectedly, and took a look at it, "Dream Chaser? What does that mean?"

"Brother, this is a flyer distributed by a program team at our school. Look, how about I give it a try?" Ning Chaoyan blinked her big eyes bling bling and looked at Ning Yuanluo with eagerness.

Ning Yuanluo couldn't bear this wave of eye attacks and surrendered, "I definitely don't object. I support you if you like it. But you're studying classical dance, which is not your major. And you know, your parents have always wanted you to continue your studies and strive to stay in Kyoto Dance Academy to work. You suddenly want to participate in a talent show, and I see that the recording time is from April next year and will not end until half a year. You must ask for leave from school, and this requires your parents' consent."

Ning Chaoyan continued to emit dynamic light waves, trying to influence her good brother and pull him into her camp. "I'm just afraid that my parents won't agree, so I need my dear brother to help me and do my parents' work. I really, really want to participate in this program. The program will start auditions in January next year, which is less than a month away. I'm still a few months away from turning 18. The program team requires minors to have their parents sign a consent form before they can participate in the auditions. You know, my parents have never been very interested in the entertainment industry, so, brother, dear brother, good brother, the best brother in the world, you must help me."

Ning Yuanluo got goosebumps from her calling him "good brother". As the bottom of the family's food chain, he had never enjoyed such treatment before. "Please let me go. Don't worry. I will definitely speak well of you in front of my parents. But is this program reliable?"

Recalling the talent show craze in 2026, Ning Chaoyan is still excited.

Universal voting, universal participation, what a grand occasion it is, everyone is immersed in this star-making event.

In her previous life, she had also participated in this program, and was even lucky enough to be ranked at the top in the first ranking after her initial stage performance and entered the debut position.

However, something unexpected happened at home and she had no intention of continuing the competition, so she paid the penalty and withdrew midway, wanting to spend the difficult time with her family and missed the opportunity to show herself on stage.

And this time, she won't miss it again.

Ning Chaoyan looked at her brother with a determined look, "Brother, don't worry, I've inquired about it. It's a program jointly organized by several film and television companies. Although it's an online variety show, the investment and level of the project are very high."

She paused, then continued, "Brother, I want to be the brightest star on the stage!"
