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

"Brother Willie, have some water!"

Wearing a white school uniform, Cheng Xiao lowered her gaze and held a full glass of lemonade in both hands, handing it to Wang Weili.

She sat there, her waist slender and her shoulders narrow. The front of her school uniform, styled like a suit, was slightly bulging, as if something was growing vigorously underneath.

When Li Xue saw Cheng Xiao approaching, she realized that this young woman already knew her boss, so she made an excuse to leave early, not wanting to leave an awkward situation behind.

Therefore, only the two of them remained at the dining table.

Wang Weili took the lemonade with a strange expression, and asked suspiciously, "Did you come to South Korea to study drinking culture?"

"No, I learned all of this at school. You have to use polite language when speaking to seniors, and you have to use both hands when handing over items..."

As Cheng Xiao talked about the "new things" she had learned in South Korea, she looked up to see Wang Weili's reaction.

Wang Weili took a sip of water and muttered, "That doesn't make sense! I clearly saw you sitting in the center position on SBS earlier. If the hierarchy is really as strict as you say, then you should be the lead dancer, right?"

"right."

Cheng Xiao pursed his lips, thinking to himself that the sob story tactic had failed... He would try again!

"Although I am the lead dancer, I am often bullied by my classmates because I don't speak Korean well."

"There must be other girls from China at your school, right?"

"Um...yes."

"Logically speaking, you guys should stick together for warmth, right? Once you form a fixed group, other girls shouldn't choose to mess with you."

Wang Weili stared curiously at Cheng Xiao's Barbie-like face, which was full of collagen.

Look left, look right.

With eyes that hint at ambition, a touch of arrogance between her brows, and a slightly raised chin, she doesn't look like someone who would be bullied at all.

Cheng Xiao felt a little guilty under their gaze: "They didn't bully me that often..."

"Really?"

"Hehe, Brother Willie, you seem to be quite popular in China. Someone just came over to take a picture with you."

"I've only recently become popular."

Instead of digging deeper, Wang Weili followed Cheng Xiao's lead and changed the subject, leaving the awkward topic behind.

Upon hearing him say that, Cheng Xiao's little face suddenly became shy and expectant.

"You're so popular now. When I debut as a trainee and return to China to develop my career, can you help me?"

"That depends on how things develop in the future."

Wang Weili reached out and touched Cheng Xiao's cup with his own, reminding him, "I've taught you this before! Never make promises about the future unless absolutely necessary, because your future might be very expensive."

"This is what you said when you were in your senior year of high school, right before the college entrance exam..."

Cheng Xiao pouted and murmured, her gaze falling on Wang Weili, a hint of reminiscence and longing slowly welling up in her eyes.

In her memory, Wang Weili was always clean-cut and slender, with a very handsome smile.

When tutoring me on my homework on weekends, he can be very strict, but he always manages to explain those complicated math problems in a clear and interesting way.

Later, after he finished the college entrance examination, he went to Shanghai. When he entered junior high school, he began to read extracurricular novels and would always imagine the male protagonist as him and the female protagonist as himself...

Cheng Xiao blushed and tried to cover it up by drinking water, but choked a little because she drank too fast.

"Cough cough."

What are you doing?

Wang Weili patted Cheng Xiao's back to help her catch her breath, his questioning gaze fixed on her face.

Cheng Xiao's mind was in turmoil. She pursed her lips, not daring to look at Wang Weili.

After a long while, she finally stopped coughing, and Wang Weili withdrew his hand and began to eat his barbecue in peace.

"Brother Willie..."

"Um?"

Do you have a girlfriend?

"You have a strong personality, so it's normal for you to like older men. But I'm eight years older than you, and that age difference is a bit like an Oedipus complex."

Wang Weili spoke very directly, which was because he was familiar enough with Cheng Xiao and had said similar things many times before.

Cheng Xiao pursed his lips: "So that means you have a girlfriend?"

"I don't like to define relationships too definitively. If you ask me if I have any very close female friends, then yes, I do."

Wang Weili was very candid.

Just like when he was questioned by Liu Shishi last time, he said whatever he knew without any thought of hiding or deceiving anyone.

I mainly feel it's unnecessary. After all, breakups and makeups are common in the entertainment industry. It's better to focus on the present rather than promising the future.

Cheng Xiao frowned, gave Wang Weili a deep look, and then curled the corners of his mouth indifferently.

"Brother Willie, you said that my family situation has had a profound impact on me. Does your avoidance of intimate relationships also stem from your family?"

"Part of the reason is life experience, but more likely it's due to other factors."

Wang Weili's candor turned this awkward and private topic into a normal emotional exchange.

Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Wang Weili meant by life experience.

Does living eight years longer than me mean I'll understand?

Wang Weili glanced at Cheng Xiao, but didn't explain further. He simply continued eating the greasy barbecue.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking any more questions and began to join the dry rice camp.

Surprisingly, Cheng Xiao's appetite was not much less than Wang Weili's; judging from her slack, she seemed to have eaten more than she could handle.

Wang Weili took a sip of lemonade to cleanse his palate and said, "Let's go! I'll call a car to take you back to school."

"oh."

Cheng Xiao wiped his mouth, still feeling unsatisfied, and followed Wang Weili out of the barbecue restaurant.

After the two got into the taxi and watched the skyscrapers rushing past the window, she suddenly asked, "Brother Willie, how long are you staying this time?"

"It depends on the situation."

"What's going on?"

"If you need to stay a few more days, I'll invite you out for dinner again."

Wang Weili glanced at the Seoul Performing Arts High School that appeared ahead and simply gave Cheng Xiao a perfunctory reply.

The taxi, its yellow lights flashing, stopped behind a black private car. Wang Weili turned to look at Cheng Xiao, indicating that it was time for her to get out.

Cheng Xiao pursed her lips, and after getting out of the car, she lingered by the door, looking inside with a reluctant expression.

"If you can stay a few more days, remember to invite me to dinner again. I can come out then."

"Okay, I'll keep my word."

Wang Weili nodded, then suddenly looked toward the black private car in front of him.

A girl wearing the same school uniform as Cheng Xiao got out of the black private car, along with a middle-aged man in a suit, glasses, with a peaceful smile and a Korean-style middle part hairstyle.

Wang Weili had just met this man today, at that church where celebrities and the middle class gathered...

Jiang Daren watched his daughter skip and hop into the school. Just as he was about to wave goodbye, he heard an unfamiliar English greeting coming from behind him.

"Hello, are you Father Jiang?"

"Hmm? Who are you?"

Jiang Daren looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome young man with a smile on his lips slowly walking towards him under the ginkgo tree by the roadside.
