Meeting the Parents?

After Li Changle connected, a beautiful woman came into view. However, this beauty didn't look too good at the moment.

Her makeup was smudged from crying earlier, and her eyes were red.

Seeing her like this, Li Changle couldn't sit still and blurted out, "I... I didn't, I was crying because I was happy..."

Wang Siyi said weakly. She had been too happy and forgotten she was crying, smudging her makeup. Did she look terrible now?

She felt a pang of annoyance. She was too impulsive. How could she have forgotten her current situation just because she missed him so much?

She asked cautiously, "Do I... look ugly right now?"

"Ugly is an exaggeration. You look like a little calico cat, which is quite cute."

Seeing Wang Siyi, Li Changle felt happy for some reason and started joking.

"You're the calico cat!"

Wang Siyi huffed fiercely, feeling that she really wasn't suitable for a video call looking like this.

"I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to wash my face. My makeup is smudged, and it's so uncomfortable..."

Then she ended the video call.

"Huh?..."

Li Changle looked at the screen where Wang Siyi had disappeared, feeling a little disappointed.

However, he looked at the WeChat background, which was a selfie Wang Siyi had sent him last time while doing her makeup, and his mood improved.

It seemed she wasn't unhappy. He vaguely remembered her mentioning that the biggest promotion for their new album was director Huang Wenchuan's new movie.

How could he have forgotten about this? He patted his head. But at least he had done his part to help her.

So the question remained: she wasn't unhappy about the new album promotion. Then why hadn't she replied to him all morning, and why had she been crying just now?

Li Changle, filled with doubt, thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to ask Wang Siyi. Their relationship should be close enough that asking this wouldn't be out of line, right?

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Wang Siyi, "Why didn't you reply to me this morning?"

"And why were you crying just now?"

A while later, Wang Siyi, having finished removing her makeup, looked at Li Changle's double question and felt a warmth spread through her heart. He really cared about her.

"Idiot!"

Wang Siyi sent two words. Li Changle was completely bewildered and sent back a question mark.

"You promised me last time you wouldn't use question marks, but you did!"

"Why are you scolding me?"

"I'm not scolding you, idiot!"

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi calling him an idiot repeatedly, and a few dark lines appeared on his forehead. Was "idiot" a compliment? He had never known that.

Unconvinced, Li Changle decided to search Baidu Baike for the meaning of "idiot."

1. Refers to a foolish, slow-witted person. Generally, the word "idiot" carries a discriminatory connotation. 2. Also means a fool, someone clumsy at tasks. 3. Someone who can only do one thing, often used pejoratively. 4. Someone obsessed with something.

Looking at the definitions, Li Changle fell into thought. None of these four definitions could be considered a compliment.

After a moment of silence, he sent a screenshot to Wang Siyi. He wanted to see how she would explain this!

Wang Siyi looked at Li Changle actually searching Baidu Baike for the definition of "idiot" and sending it to her, and she was completely stunned.

Not only that, but Li Changle added another message.

"You say you're not scolding me, but most of these meanings aren't complimentary!"

Wang Siyi's momentary gratitude vanished. This person didn't seem stupid, so why was he so clueless when it came to emotions?

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!"

Wang Siyi sent "idiot" three times and then sent an emoji pack.

"You're still calling me names, huh?"

Li Changle was a little annoyed. This woman was getting bolder.

Then their WeChat conversation turned into a sticker battle, which Li Changle ultimately lost due to his insufficient sticker inventory.

Li Changle was dumbfounded. Where did this woman get so many stickers? It was outrageous.

Where was the cool, aloof superstar from before? Why had she turned into a homebody who only fought with stickers?

"What are you smiling foolishly about, Wan Jun?"

Chen Baozhu shot Wang Siyi a surprised glance. These past few days, Wang Siyi had been inseparable from her phone, occasionally giggling at it. Chen Baozhu had no idea what could make her so happy.

However, Chen Baozhu clearly had something urgent to discuss with Wang Siyi right now.

"Wan Jun, Director Huang Wenchuan has confirmed that the advance screening will be held in a month. We need your friend's authorization for the theme song. Can you see if he can come to Shanghai next week?"

"Also, Director Huang Wenchuan wants to meet him. You'll have to introduce them then."

"Oh, right, and Yang Caiqian. He also said he hopes to meet your friend. We promised him that, after all, and we can't go back on our word. Yang Caiqian has been chatting with me every day recently, just to talk about this matter..."

Chen Baozhu chattered on, while Wang Siyi listened patiently, as she was used to. Finally, she said, "Okay, I understand, Sister Baozhu. I'll ask him and have him come to Shanghai next week."

"Ask him when he's free, so we can make arrangements..."

Chen Baozhu was clearly invested in this. Both Huang Wenchuan and Yang Caiqian were big names in the industry.

Especially Huang Wenchuan. This chance to get acquainted couldn't be missed. Owing a favor to a director with a box office of five billion yuan would bring unimaginable benefits.

Wang Siyi nodded, planning to discuss it with Li Changle later that evening. The thought of seeing Li Changle soon made the corners of her mouth lift.

After his defeat in their meme battle, Li Changle had chosen to raise a white flag with Wang Siyi, deciding to focus on writing to clear his head.

He had just gotten into his groove when his phone rang. It was Wang Weimin.

"Changle, my teacher will be visiting Jinling next week. Come to Jinling then, and meet Auntie He while you're at it..."

"Okay, Uncle Wang."

Li Changle had no objections. He was already planning to go to Shanghai, and Jinling was very close to Shanghai, so it would be on the way.

But why did Uncle Wang specifically mention meeting Auntie He?

Auntie He should be Wang Siyi's mother, right? Was this a meeting with the parents?

Li Changle couldn't help but grumble inwardly. Still, he was very happy that the poem "Lovesickness" was selected for the primary and secondary school textbooks.

If Li Changle wasn't in the literary world, he would definitely let the primary and secondary school students of this world know.

How many ways are there to write the character 'huí' in 'huí xiāng dòu' (fried broad beans).

What is the meaning behind "There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree."
