Capítulo 1409: Chapter 1408: Sharing Happiness
So, is this a surprise test?
Li Wei blinked, “This woman, that woman? Are you talking about Travis? Yes, yes, indeed, Travis should really tone it down.”
Thalia stared blankly at Li Wei, who looked completely innocent, trying to keep a straight face and stay angry, but eventually couldn’t hold it and burst into laughter.
“Don’t worry, everyone knows that the person receiving the most love letters at Arrowhead Stadium every day is Professor Li Wei, not Travis.”
Kelsey: Arrow to the knee!
Li Wei showed a bit of confusion, “I thought people didn’t like bookworms. You know, in school, bookworms were always the targets of exclusion.”
“Oh.” Thalia’s lips curled up slightly, a hint of playfulness in her eyes, “Who said that? I love bookworms. I love them the most in the whole world.”
Then, Thalia placed her hands beside her mouth to form a gaphone. “I love bookworms! Love them the most!”
Thalia looked at Li Wei, who was full of helplessness and affection, and laughed heartily, “So, were you really a bookworm back in school?”
Li Wei shrugged lightly, “Why else do you think I learned mixed martial arts?”
One sentence, with deep aning, made Thalia start to imagine a story of Li Wei, as an outsider, starting a new life on an unfamiliar continent.
She was the sa.
Taking a deep breath, Thalia smiled again, “Clearly, no one expected you to be so good; and that you would beco a football player.”
Li Wei, with a serious face, snapped his fingers and nodded slightly, “So you can imagine how my old classmates must feel when they see on Thursday night gas broadcast.”
“Haha.” Thalia’s eyes were overflowing with laughter, “Are you planning to attend the ten-year class reunion?”
Li Wei, “No, definitely not.”
Thalia, “Why? I thought you’d want to show them what you look like now, to show them you’re no longer the bookworm you once were.”
Li Wei, “Does an elephant care about the fate of ants? Similarly, an elephant isn’t interested in showing off its weight to ants.”
Thalia, “Hahaha. Hahaha.” She laughed uncontrollably, she was so happy that she almost couldn’t stand straight.
“You don’t look like an elephant. Not at all.” Thalia couldn’t stop.
Li Wei was exasperated, “Thalia, I suddenly feel a generation gap.”
One sentence made Thalia pause imdiately, the smile stayed on her lips, her face stiff.
Apparently, what Thalia least wanted to hear now was about “age difference,” so she grumbled irritably, “It’s just a little bit older, and you keep talking about generation gaps like you’re afraid people don’t know you’re an old man.”
Li Wei looked at the mumbling Thalia, a smile hovered in his eyes, and he actively changed the topic, “What brings you to Kansas City today?”
Before Li Wei could continue, Thalia seed to have anticipated the second half of the sentence, “I told my family, really. This ti I wasn’t lying.”
Li Wei expressed doubt.
Thalia widened her eyes, “Really! Think about it, I need to go and film by myself, and also need to go to Europe alone for the film festival. My family all believe that I’ve grown up and have the ability to travel alone, I’m now in complete control of my life, they all trust .”
In these words, Li Wei caught a key point, “Film festival?”
Thalia’s face showed a hint of shyness, but still, she lifted her chin, her gaze bright as she looked at Li Wei, seemingly waiting for his praise.
Li Wei paused, thought carefully, the Berlin Film Festival takes place from January to February every year, “Your work got into the Berlin Film Festival?”
Thalia’s whole chest was instantly filled with happiness, she nodded vigorously, “In the main competition category.”
Great news!
One hundred percent great news!
The Berlin Film Festival is one of the top three film festivals in Europe, not only having a long history but also being prestigious, with top-notch recognition worldwide.
All along, Thalia was desperately seeking a breakthrough in her career, never expecting that she would now have the chance to step onto the stage of the Berlin Film Festival.
And it’s in the main competition category, in other words, her work has a chance to compete for the festival’s highest award, the Golden Bear—
It’s not just a breakthrough, but also a shining debut.
With a glance, Thalia could see the joy and delight in Li Wei’s eyes, sincere and pure, which uplifted her mood as well.
So, after finishing the current movie filming project, her first reaction was to want to co to Kansas City, to personally look into Li Wei’s eyes and tell him this news.
Because she wanted to share her happiness with Li Wei, and also because she wanted to see Li Wei’s reaction.
Don’t people always say that sharing happiness doubles it?
Indeed!
She was right, she just knew that Li Wei and she shared the sa feeling, truly happy for her.
“Nicely done.” Li Wei said.
Just one sentence, the simplest one, but Thalia’s eyes involuntarily beca misty.
After the movie got into the main competition category of the Berlin Film Festival, crew mbers, agents, family, friends, they all congratulated her, those words of congratulations had been said countless tis.
However, nothing compared to Li Wei’s simplest sentence at this mont, happiness continued to expand and burn in her chest like pink cotton candy.
Though her eyes were teary, Thalia still showed a radiant smile and said gracefully, “Thank you.”
As soon as she finished, Thalia let out a laugh, awkwardly wiping the ss on her cheeks, “Oh, God, I must look ridiculous right now, it’s clearly about , yet here I am crying and laughing like a drama queen, it’s downright narcissistic.”
Li Wei spread his hands, “That’s why you beca an actor for a reason.”
Thalia tilted her head slightly to look at Li Wei, “I feel like you’re teasing , but I have no evidence.”
Li Wei quickly placed his fingers on his lips, “Shh. There’s no need to delve further.”
Thalia paused, but her smile involuntarily rose, she enjoyed talking with Li Wei, each ti filled with joy and happiness.
But this ti, before the conversation could continue, Thalia casually noticed Li Wei’s slightly trembling knee.
“Rookie!”
Thalia exclaid, not even giving Li Wei ti to react, like a swallow returning ho, she dashed over, spreading her arms and hugging Li Wei tightly.
Li Wei was sitting on the steps, with no ti to resist, he was wrapped solidly in Thalia’s embrace.
Thalia buried her head in Li Wei’s shoulder, “Sorry, I didn’t notice your condition, you must be exhausted right now, yet here I am rambling about my stuff as if the whole world revolves around , completely ignoring how you are, I’m really sorry.”
Li Wei was slightly taken aback, a smile quietly crept up his lips, “Actually, I’m very happy for the focus to shift to you, because at the press conference, I was everyone’s target, I needed the spotlight to move away from for a little while.”
Thalia: … “I thought I was already quite narcissistic, but in front of you, I admit defeat. So you’re okay with the sun not minding shining on the moon?”
Li Wei, “Hahaha.”
