Chapter 509: 508 Peacock Spreads Its Tail Chapter 509: 508 Peacock Spreads Its Tail The woman slightly lifted her chin, a hint of surprise showing in her eyes that resembled those of a Persian cat, and she sized up Li Wei again without a ripple, “A handle?
So, my guess was right, you really are worried about being seen drinking soda, let guess, you’re a football player.”
Li Wei’s face remained calm, “Are you sure?”
The corners of the woman’s mouth curled into a smile, “I’ve heard football players argue more than once that football is the real man’s sport, soccer is for cowards, and basketball is a woman’s ga.”
“Haha.” Li Wei hadn’t anticipated this and almost burst out laughing.
His gaze fell on the woman’s eyes which looked straight at him, a mocking smile hidden in their depths.
Li Wei’s mouth curved into a smile, “No no, actually, you didn’t hear the whole thing.”
“Rugby is the real man’s sport, Arican football is for soft eggs, soccer is a woman’s sport, and basketball is a child’s ga.”
The woman had not expected this twist and was montarily stunned, then burst into laughter, her whole body shaking mirthfully, “Oh, God, I can’t believe there’s a full version.”
“But why?”
Li Wei shrugged lightly, “Because rugby is played without pads in a full-contact manner?”
With a smile full of amusent, the woman responded, “So, I was wrong, you are British and not an Arican football player.”
Li Wei spread his hands, “Unfortunately, I am a football player, Arican style.”
“Hahaha.” The woman laughed again but quickly composed herself, “So, what’s your take on those rumors?”
Li Wei was not flustered and calmly replied.
“I think that a sense of superiority regarding any sports is foolish and narrow-minded because sports is not really about strength or being muscular; it’s about challenging oneself and pushing limits.”
“Of course, sports often display strength, speed, and confrontation, but it’s far more than that.
Beyond the outcos and trophies, there’s so much more.”
“I regret those narrow-minded views.”
The woman quietly watched Li Wei, a hint of admiration and surprise in her eyes, apparently not expecting this turn of events—
But she didn’t resist it.
Noticing this, Li Wei cracked a joke, “Showing off like a peacock isn’t a mistake, right?”
The woman’s smile blood again, almost uncontrollable, her impressive talents stealing the lilight and making it hard to remain focused on the conversation, “So, you really are a football player?”
This ti, Li Wei didn’t deny it, “Li Wei.”
The woman paused, “Ah… you are Li Wei!”
Li Wei slightly pursed his lips and humbly said, “It seems my work has had so effect.”
The woman quickly caught on to Li Wei’s teasing, “Hey, even though I didn’t watch tonight’s Super Bowl, I did catch so football clips.
...
Sorry, I didn’t recognize you with the helt on.”
Li Wei, “So, disappointed?”
The woman raised her chin and looked at Li Wei with an inquiring gaze.
Li Wei, “The real face under the helt, disappointed?”
With a light sketch of a smile, the woman replied, “No, a total surprise.
I thought all football players were beefy brutes with figures like Cerberus straight out of hell, but obviously, that’s not what I had in mind.”
As she spoke, she sized up Li Wei once more, but then suddenly paused and lowered her voice.
“Here, I should whistle, but sorry, I don’t know that trick.”
Haha, haha!
This ti, it was Li Wei’s turn to laugh out loud, but he didn’t continue the joke.
Instead, he extended his right hand in a friendly gesture and introduced himself again with all seriousness.
“Li Wei.”
The woman, having grasped Li Wei’s right hand, “Alexandra Daddario.”
Li Wei gently lifted his chin, “Oh, Italy.”
Daddario nodded, “My father is of Italian and Irish descent.”
Li Wei, “So, what’s your profession?”
Daddario smiled radiantly, not answering imdiately but taking a deep breath instead, “Actor.
It seems my work hasn’t yet made a significant impact.”
Li Wei: Uh.
Then, Daddario raised her eyes, revealing a sly smile, clearly having fun at Li Wei’s expense.
Li Wei, very serious, “No, it should be said that Hollywood’s work is disappointing, a pity it hasn’t let more people see your talents.”
Those words quickly changed the situation.
Daddario’s expression turned to one of surprise, her smile unconsciously lifted.
Li Wei, “What films have you been in, maybe I’ve seen so but just didn’t recognize you, just like when I wear a helt on the field.”
For the first ti, Daddario showed a hint of shyness, gently shaking her head, “I don’t think you’d like those kinds of movies.”
Li Wei, “Then what kind of movies do you think I should like?”
Daddario’s words were already on the tip of her tongue but she swallowed them, her eyes once again twinkling with mischief, “Perhaps sothing like ‘Titanic’?”
Out of countless genres like action, adventure, sci-fi, horror, and more, Daddario specifically chose “Titanic”?
Of course, it’s not that “Titanic” is bad, being a classic, but obviously, Daddario deliberately chose such a romantic disaster movie.
Li Wei imdiately understood, his expression loaded with aning.
Realizing her little trick was about to be exposed, Daddario was slightly embarrassed, adding, “I just thought, it’s a movie everyone has seen…”
Li Wei pursed his lips to keep from smiling, taking a serious stance, “Actually, that is my least favorite movie, I have never seen ‘Titanic’.”
Daddario couldn’t hold back, “What?” Her eyes filled with surprise, she hardly believed her ears, “You haven’t seen ‘Titanic’?”
Li Wei spread his hands, “Please, I know the movie made an unbelievable box-office worldwide, but that doesn’t an all six billion people on Earth have seen it, just like with ‘Avengers,’ I bet you haven’t seen that either.”
Daddario’s mouth fell slightly open, but in the end, she couldn’t argue, “But it’s ‘Titanic’!”
Pfft.
Li Wei laughed outright, “Jas Caron, who made ‘Terminator’, ‘Aliens’, so of the most exciting and outstanding action movies ever, and also ‘Abyss’, ‘Avatar’, ‘Terminator 2’ and more, then he made that most expensive, most pretentious, most contrived romantic movie, oh, God.”
“Even more absurdly, it was a box-office hit.
Everyone rushed to the theaters, and even years later, re-releases still drew crowds.
Can you believe it?”
“That’s why I decided to refuse to watch it.”
Ha ha, ha ha ha.
Daddario couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Isn’t that a bit immature?”
“Of course not, it’s called maintaining self, refusing to follow the crowd.” Li Wei said earnestly.
Daddario couldn’t stop laughing, “But actually, I really love that movie.
Don’t you think it’s romantically bone-deep?”
Li Wei took a deep breath, “It’s okay, everyone has flaws.”
One second, two seconds.
Daddario finally caught onto Li Wei’s aning, bursting into laughter again, almost unable to believe her ears, “So this is the biggest flaw preventing from being perfect?”
