Chapter 83

Zhang Chengyuan strode towards Zheng Xiuyan, his presence imposing and his posture as firm as a mountain. The small crystal on his shoulder sat steadily, not feeling the slightest bit of swaying. The young girls who saw this scene felt incredibly amazed, thinking to themselves, "Xika's brother is truly strong. No wonder he could carry Sister Yoon Eun-hye and spin around in *X-Man*. But his face is so handsome! Having such an excellent brother is truly enviable."

Seeing Zhang Chengyuan approaching, Zheng Xiuyan hurriedly stepped forward and called out, "Oppa." The dozen or so young girls behind her bowed and greeted him, "Senior, it's nice to meet you!" They were all trainees aspiring to enter the entertainment industry, and it was only natural to call Zhang Chengyuan their senior, especially since he was Zheng Xiuyan's brother.

Zhang Chengyuan couldn't bear to put on airs in front of these lively and adorable young girls. He smiled and nodded at each of them. If they were boys, he would have waved them away, telling them to leave quickly.

While the two sides were exchanging greetings, the small crystal urgently asked Zhang Chengyuan to put her down. She then politely greeted the sisters present. Although she was already very familiar with the sisters, she did not dare to neglect any etiquette, for fear that Zheng Xiuyan would think she was impolite and would give her a good spanking when they got home.

Among the young girls, Zhang Chengyuan only recognized Kwon Yu-ri and Kim Hyo-yeon. Just as he was about to ask Zheng Xiuyan to introduce them, the young girls began to introduce themselves one by one.

"Senior Zhang Chengyuan, I am Choi Soo-young, a friend of Xiuyan." The one speaking was the girl who had previously wanted to get his autograph. She was tall and slender but also very slim.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and nodded.

"Senior, my name is Kwon Yu-ri. Do you remember me?" Another pretty young girl stepped forward.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "Of course I remember. Your name sounds the same as my sister Seo-yeon, how could I forget? I remember we even took a photo together before. And this one should be the excellent dancer Kim Hyo-yeon, right?" Zhang Chengyuan pointed at Kim Hyo-yeon.

Kim Hyo-yeon bowed and said, "Yes, thank you for remembering me, Senior."

Zhang Chengyuan laughed and said, "You might become the most famous dancer in all of Korea someday. Remembering your name will allow me to boast to my friends in the future: I was friends with the dance queen long ago." Kim Hyo-yeon was very pleased and bowed again, saying, "Senior, I will work hard."

"Senior, hello, I am Kim Tae-yeon." A girl with a doll-like face, a small build, and a somewhat shy expression stepped forward and said.

"This little girl is really cute!" Zhang Chengyuan thought to himself and couldn't help but look at her a bit more. However, he never imagined that this little girl was actually older than Zheng Xiuyan and also older than most of the other young girls present.

"Senior, I am from the United States, my Korean name is Hwang Mi-yeong. Please take care of me, Senior." The one speaking was a girl who looked a bit Western, was somewhat reserved, and had a slightly awkward accent.

Zheng Xiuyan interjected, "Oppa, Tiffany just came from the United States a few days ago. Her Korean isn't very good. She, like me, is a Korean-American, and we were even born in the same hospital." Perhaps fearing that Tiffany wouldn't understand, Zheng Xiuyan spoke in English this time.

"Welcome back. Since you are Xiuyan's friend, you are also my friend. If you need any help in the future, you can tell Xiuyan, and I will do my best to assist you." Zhang Chengyuan also spoke in English, his pronunciation exceptionally clear and standard.

Seeing Zheng Xiuyan introduce Tiffany so earnestly, Zhang Chengyuan knew that Zheng Xiuyan considered her a friend and felt a bit sympathetic towards this young girl who had left her hometown with a heavy heart but had been smiling sweetly since seeing him. He even extended his hand to gently shake Tiffany's, and then saw her smile even more brightly.

Next, a very lively and petite girl with very expressive eyes and a small face stepped forward. She sized up Zhang Chengyuan for a moment and suddenly asked, "Senior Zhang Chengyuan, are you supermanoppa? I think I saw you when I was little."

"Yoon-a, what are you saying? Senior, Yoon-a often has wild thoughts, don't take it to heart." Kwon Yu-ri was afraid that she might anger Zhang Chengyuan and quickly apologized for the young girl.

Zhang Chengyuan was a bit puzzled by Yoon-a's question. He carefully observed her but couldn't recall where he had seen her. Curiously, he asked, "Why do you say I am superman? And where did you see me? Not on TV, right?"

Yoon-a shook her head and said, "No, it was when I was in elementary school. One weekend, I was playing near my school and saw a high school senior take down dozens of people by himself. I called him superman, but he said he wasn't superman, but something else. I didn't hear it clearly at the time. He also told me that if I see people fighting, I should stay far away."

When she mentioned "taking down dozens of people," Zhang Chengyuan recalled an incident from the past. When he had just arrived in this world, he had indeed disciplined a gang leader named Jin Yoo-ki and his twenty or so followers at Jiu Lao High School. At the time, there was indeed an eight or nine-year-old girl who had witnessed the fight and had a brief conversation with him. He never thought he would meet this little girl again today, and that she was even Zheng Xiuyan's friend. Perhaps this was fate!

Zhang Chengyuan then said, "You remember correctly. I am that person, but don't call me superman anymore. I don't like that guy's style. Just call me oppa, it sounds better. And what should I call you? Yoon-a too?"

Yoon-a smiled happily and said, "Oppa, my full name is Lin Yoon-a, you can call me Yoon-a too."

"Lin Yoon-a, Yoon-a, yes, that's a nice name, and you are a nice person. I won't forget you this time!"

Kim Hyo-yeon asked, "Senior, can we also call you oppa?"

"Of course, as long as you don't mind that I am old enough to be your uncle." Zhang Chengyuan joked.

"No way! Oppa, you are still very young, you look at most twenty-three or twenty-four." The young girls chimed in.

"Then I'm in trouble. I'm only twenty-two now." Zhang Chengyuan pretended to complain. Hearing this, most of the young girls laughed, except for one who stood at the back, looking very quiet and young.

In fact, Zhang Chengyuan's face did not look old at all. His skin was smooth and fine, like a baby's, but his tall and robust build and his steady, mountain-like demeanor made him appear more mature. If not for this, he wouldn't have been able to play the role of Cha Tae-hyun's older brother in *The First Love of the Prince*.

Next, a few more young girls stepped forward, and Zhang Chengyuan also left a deep impression on them, especially a girl named Park In-jeong, who was very beautiful and composed. Finally, only the very quiet young girl remained, standing there quietly, seemingly never having smiled.

She lowered her head and, seeing Zhang Chengyuan approach, quickly bowed ninety degrees and said softly, "Senior, hello!"

Zheng Xiuyan said, "This is Seo Joo-hyun, our maknae. She is very shy and easily scared. Oppa, she isn't intentionally putting on a serious face, don't blame her."

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and smiled at Seo Joo-hyun. His eyes seemed to suddenly sparkle, and a warm and friendly intention passed through Seo Joo-hyun's beautiful big eyes into her heart. Seo Joo-hyun's expression immediately relaxed.

These young girls were Zheng Xiuyan's friends and might become her close companions in the future. Zhang Chengyuan hoped that Zheng Xiuyan could get along well with each of them, and he also wanted to be closer to the young girls. However, he didn't have much time to think of ways to build good relationships with them. Therefore, when he saw the shy Seo Joo-hyun, he immediately used his spiritual powers to convey his friendly intentions to this young girl, hoping to quickly gain her approval.
