Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

"...The new house is still under renovation, so I've been staying in a hotel for the past few days."

Seeing the door suddenly open, Li Xue recognized the voice coming from outside as that of her eccentric boss.

Didn't he have lunch plans with someone? Is it over already?

Li Xue glanced at the clock [13:15], just as Wang Weili walked in and gave her a wink.

Li Xue was a little confused about the meaning behind that wink.

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Wang Weili could only say into the phone, "Um, Sister Shi, my assistant seems to need to report to me about work..."

As he spoke, he held the phone up to Li Xue and gave her a wink.

Li Xue understood this time: "Boss, there's another meeting later that requires your personal attendance."

"OK!"

Wang Weili agreed very readily, then said into the phone, "I have to get back to work now. You should focus on filming on set too! That's all for now."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Weili looked up and saw Li Xue's teasing expression.

"what?"

"Boss, was I just covering for you?"

"No, this isn't really cover, and I don't have any cover to provide. We're not even boyfriend and girlfriend..."

"Then why didn't you just hang up?"

Wang Weili, holding his phone, was also considering this question.

After thinking it over, he simply sat down next to Li Xue on the sofa: "I have a question for you... what are you doing?"

Wang Weili stared in astonishment at Li Xue, who was sitting comfortably in the corner of the sofa.

He had just sat down when Li Xue disappeared, the two of them seemingly like magnets meeting.

Li Xue brushed aside her dress and said confidently, "I've only been working for you for less than three months, and you've already been 'living with' a female celebrity for a week, and then had lunch with another female celebrity. I feel it's necessary for me to keep my distance from you."

"I want to clarify, that's not what living together means... Never mind, let's just sit here."

Wang Weili raised his hand to indicate that Li Xue did not need to get up and run away.

Li Xue made him promise not to move closer before she agreed to continue sitting still.

Wang Weili nodded dejectedly, thinking to himself that people's prejudices were indeed a huge mountain.

Li Xue crossed her legs and said, "OK, what did you want to ask just now?"

"Um……"

Wang Weili gathered his thoughts before continuing the conversation that had been interrupted.

"Assistant Li, under what circumstances would you spend money on a man?"

"What kind of question is that?!"

Li Xue jumped up and down on the sofa, so anxious that she almost rushed over to grab Wang Weili by the collar and question him.

"What girl would spend money on a guy? She's hopelessly in love!"

"Hypothetically, hypothetically."

Wang Weili emphasized this repeatedly, but his fingers awkwardly touched his nose.

Li Xue exclaimed with the air of someone who had discovered a new continent: "Even hypothetically speaking, this situation is rare, no, extremely rare!"

"So you've never spent money on a man?" Wang Weili suddenly asked curiously.

"Holy crap, how is this possible..."

Seeing Wang Weili's sudden change in expression, Li Xue awkwardly covered her mouth: "I lost my composure, but I can only be sure that what you're describing will never happen to me."

"Okay! I understand."

Wang Weili nodded and said nothing more.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no more to hear, Li Xue couldn't help but move closer to Wang Weili.

"Boss, you have a woman spending money on you? Liu Shishi?"

"..."

Wang Weili raised an eyebrow and glanced around, only to see Li Xue's eyes crinkling at the corners, her bright eyes seeming to be smiling.

"If you have nothing else to do, you can leave work early."

"I can't even work half a day and get paid for a full day! You haven't finished asking your question yet, why don't you continue?"

Li Xue rested her elbows on the sofa, her white silk shirt revealing the curves of her body from her straight shoulders to her slender waist.

Wang Weili glanced at her back and said, "I've finished asking my questions."

"If it's not Liu Shishi, then it's someone else... Are you struggling to choose between them?"

As soon as Li Xue finished speaking, Wang Weili's phone rang again.

With such an immediate reaction, it was hard for Li Xue not to tease him.

Meeting those smiling eyes, Wang Weili awkwardly took out his phone.

The noise wasn't from a ringtone, but from a WeChat voice call to an online friend who hadn't been saved in their contacts.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Brother Willie, it's me, Cheng Xiao!"

Wang Weili was startled, his memory returning to his high school days with the clear voice coming from the phone.

At that time, he was studying at Pengcheng High School. Unlike other high schools where students live on campus during weekdays, Pengcheng High School allowed students to commute from home.

To make it easier for him to go to school, his family rented a large three-bedroom apartment next to the school, and Cheng Xiao lived next door.

Throughout his three years of high school, Cheng Xiao's mother would often invite him to eat at the restaurant next door. In exchange, he would take time to tutor Cheng Xiao with his homework, and they gradually became familiar with each other.

Later, Wang Weili went to university in Shanghai and added Cheng Xiao on WeChat after they had connected via QQ. However, the two hardly ever chatted anymore, to the point that they didn't even set a nickname for each other on WeChat.

After reminiscing about the past, Wang Weili felt both unfamiliar and wary of this little sister who had suddenly appeared.

"Um, is there something you need?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Willie, I didn't mean to contact you so suddenly, but I've run into some problems recently and would like to ask for your advice."

"Okay, I'm not sure if I can give you advice, but you can tell me about your situation first."

"Actually, I was about to start high school, and my mother wanted me to go to South Korea to become a trainee (the information says she went abroad to study at the age of 14, but at 14, it's impossible), and then come back to Korea to develop my career."

After explaining his situation, Cheng Xiao whispered, "I saw your news online and wanted to ask if you have any advice?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Weili remained somewhat noncommittal.

He knew Cheng Xiao's mother well and knew that she was a woman with a strong desire to control her child.

If the other party has already made a decision, it seems inappropriate for a stranger like myself to say anything...

"Cheng Xiao, thank you for trusting me and for making this special call. But your mother must have thought this through carefully. If you have any concerns, I think you can have a good talk with her."

"...Brother Willie, if I were to debut in China in the future, could you help me?"

Wang Weili was taken aback, somewhat surprised and taken aback by Cheng Xiao's question.

Perhaps her sudden contact today wasn't actually to seek any advice.

"Let's see! Maybe by then I'll be washed up?"

"No! I feel that you are the kind of person who will definitely do well whatever you set your mind to."

Cheng Xiao's voice was exceptionally firm and mature, making it hard to believe she was only 14 years old. Perhaps a unique family environment can accelerate a person's development.

Wang Weili did not answer, but simply gave a few perfunctory replies before ending the call.

Below Cheng Xiao's WeChat account is Na Zha's WeChat account.

Naza's chat window contained only a simple message: "Brother Willie, the card password is my birthday. You'll need the money to pull strings and get roles in the future."

People who should be childish tend to be mature, and people who should be mature tend to be childish.

What a diverse world!

A wave of emotion washed over Wang Weili, and when he looked down, he saw Li Xue's extremely sarcastic and strange smile.
