Chapter 61

Suddenly, the surrounding noise rose. Wen Zhengyou came to his senses and realized that he had already arrived in Seoul. Three hours had passed so quickly, and Wen Zhengyou wrapped his coat tighter. He got out of the car, put on his backpack, and walked toward the dormitory.

All the way, he was thinking about something as he returned to the dormitory. Wen Zhengyou then went to the aunt's place and bought a few fish-shaped pancakes for dinner. Before he could eat, he heard a knock on the door. "Wen Zhengyou, are you back?"

After the knock, Li Shungui's voice followed. Since the "sharing a bed" incident half a year ago, Li Shungui seemed to have changed a bit. She still confronted him, but rarely got physical. Perhaps the nickname "little lion" was fitting and liked by everyone, except for her. The straightforward Miss Li still had a proud temper, but insisted on not getting physical. Of course, even if she did, Wen Zhengyou wouldn't be afraid of her.

"Don't knock anymore, I can hear you." Wen Zhengyou let her in, but she gave him a challenging glare.

Li Shungui walked into the bedroom, opened the plastic bag, and placed a sausage next to the fish-shaped pancakes on the table: "My mom asked me to bring this to you." Wen Zhengyou didn't hesitate, smiled, and thanked her, then opened the packaging and started eating the pancakes.

Li Shungui fiddled with the computer and took out a CD from her pocket: "Hey, I'm recommending a movie to you today. The plot, music, and visuals are all amazing. It's definitely worth watching... Besides, don't always imitate men's acting. You should also watch female stars."

Wen Zhengyou, while eating, watched her fiddle with the computer and shook his head with a smile: "What's the point of me watching female stars? Their body language and behavior are different. Do you really want me to learn from Leslie Cheung's 'Farewell My Concubine'?"

Li Shungui looked disdainful: "You always say you're a genius with high IQ, but you're so shallow. I think you should stop practicing."

Wen Zhengyou calmly ate the sausage: "I'd like to hear more."

Li Shungui pretended to be casual: "A great actor isn't just good at acting alone. If you're in a scene with someone else, you should be able to bring them along with you. Then, your performance isn't just acting; it's blending with the surroundings. After that... after that..."

Wen Zhengyou paused and continued: "After that, you'll have your own style and presence."

Li Shungui clapped: "Right, exactly... um."

Wen Zhengyou looked at Li Shungui with a playful expression: "Isn't this what the teacher told me last time, and then I told you? Afraid I might forget, so you're reciting it to me again?"

Li Shungui blushed a bit and gestured after a while: "Just watch it, stop asking so many questions."

Wen Zhengyou finished the last fish-shaped pancake with the sausage, tidied up the table, and asked Li Shungui: "You made it sound so good, what movie is it... a love story?"

Li Shungui nodded seriously, and the movie started playing.

"A love story, but definitely not a pure love story. It delves into deep philosophy, tragic and romantic."

Wen Zhengyou paused while wiping the table and looked up at Li Shungui calmly: "In the evening, a man and a woman alone, watching a tragic and romantic love story... I see, it's an hour and a half long."

He threw the cloth aside and chuckled: "Shungui, I've told you many times. We shouldn't be dating now."

"You go to hell!" To correct a point, Li Shungui rarely got physical with Wen Zhengyou, but only when others were around.

When they were alone, it wasn't much different from before. Just not as wild, not as much like a little lion.

Her not-too-long, not-too-short hair, paired with her petite body, tightly clenched fists, and narrowed eyes—what else could it be but an angry little lion?

Of course, the key is the "little" part. Wen Zhengyou narrowed his eyes and smiled cutely. But when he accidentally saw the title of the movie, he was stunned.

"Touch of the Unreachable... the name of this movie?" Wen Zhengyou subconsciously sat in front of the computer, and Li Shungui's slaps didn't make him flinch; he just endured them.

Wen Zhengyou stared at the screen: "What's this movie about? Unreachable... lovers..."

Li Shungui saw that Wen Zhengyou was captivated and didn't mind his previous nonsense. She patted his shoulder proudly and sat next to him: "How about it? The title is captivating enough, right? Keep watching, the plot will definitely attract you. It's starring Jun Ji-hyun."

Wen Zhengyou didn't say anything more, leaned back in the chair, and quietly watched the movie.

But Li Shungui's occasional glances, he was destined to miss. If he couldn't even feel her gaze, he probably wouldn't understand her inner thoughts. These days, Wen Zhengyou was always running to school, and as the head of the trainee discipline, Li Shungui was quite puzzled.

Of course, just puzzled, not dissatisfied. Sarcastic, manipulative, a liar, and slightly violent—these were the impressions Wen Zhengyou gave her. But avoiding practice and not working hard were definitely not things Wen Zhengyou would do. He only said there was a school festival, and nothing more. But in fact, there was nothing more to it.

She always felt that Wen Zhengyou was hiding something from her, especially after asking her father, Li Soo-young, and getting only a dismissive "I know, don't worry about it." This seemed to confirm her suspicions even more.

Today, in the acting class, this brat didn't participate but went to school instead, and Li Shungui suddenly felt a bit bored. She propped her head up and looked out the window. The class was almost over anyway, so it didn't matter if she zoned out for a while. After debuting, it would be all about practice, and too much theory wasn't necessary.

Li Soo-young, of course, understood what was going on. So he didn't let Li Shungui interfere too much. Occasionally, he would call Principal Choi to ask about the progress. It seemed to be going well, and the preliminary organization of the event was quite lively. As for the stage performance later, it would depend on him. After all, it wasn't a formal stage, and gaining experience was most important.

But for some reason, being together every day, she was always the one going to school and seeing him in the practice room when she came back. Now, the roles were reversed, and Li Shungui felt very uncomfortable. It had been a long time since she had come up to watch a movie with him. Since that incident, Li Shungui had been avoiding his room, at least not staying too late. Today, for some reason, she found a movie to watch with him.

"It's over." A voice broke her thoughts.

She came to her senses and looked at Wen Zhengyou's strange gaze. She looked at the computer, and the credits were already rolling.

Li Shungui cleared her throat: "It's... over? So fast?"

Wen Zhengyou shook his head and pointed to the wall clock: "It's 10 PM. You've seen this movie before, right? You zoned out for over an hour?"

Li Shungui was a bit embarrassed, walked over, and casually ejected the CD: "I just recommended it to you. Why so many words?"

Wen Zhengyou laughed but didn't say anything. He just watched as Li Shungui sat there and started searching for something. Wen Zhengyou helplessly approached: "Hey, I have school tomorrow, let's call it a day?"

Li Shungui frowned and turned around: "It's just a school festival, right? Why are you so dedicated? You never used to go to school, and now you're suddenly so active."

Narrowing her eyes, Li Shungui suddenly stood up with a smile: "Tell me, are you secretly dating someone? Do you have a girlfriend at school?"

Wen Zhengyou nodded: "We're meeting for breakfast tomorrow. She brings bread, I bring milk, and we feed each other bite by bite."

Li Shungui giggled: "I don't believe you. With your rich boy attitude, it's more likely that someone else would feed you. Expecting you to feed others..."

Wen Zhengyou waved her toward the door: "Looks like you've forgotten that I've bought you breakfast before. Are you still hanging around, do you want to stay here?"

Li Shungui opened the door unhappily: "You're kicking me out again."

Wen Zhengyou crossed his arms and looked at her: "If I don't kick you out, do you want to come in and stay with me?"

The door slammed shut. Li Shungui's disdainful words echoed before the door closed: "What's so great! As if I'd want to enter your room!"

Wen Zhengyou stood there for a while, laughed, and shook his head, then turned and went to the bedroom.

He took a shower, turned off the lights, and went to bed. He had to worry about the school festival tomorrow. It should be quite lively, right? After all, the first stage performance is important, but he can't do it alone. Right... and there's also that, Kim Tae-yeon.
