I'm A Baller - Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Something From the Heart
Fu Yishi, An Lu, Guo Zihao, Mina, Chu Hong, and the others accompanied their their classmates and friends who had just arrived. The rest of the girls gathered around Wang Yan, drinking without a care in the world.
Wang Yan was about to leave for his university, so they wouldn’t get a chance to play so comfortably for a while.
In fact, as their true bond, Liu Li, became busier, the small gatherings would become fewer. Therefore, the melancholy of parting filled everyone’s heart.
Of course, one person was an exception.
“Cheers! We’ll go and see you when we have time, Wang Wang!”
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Do you think everyone has as much free time as you do?
Wang Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Nawu, how did you get into the Emperor Dance?”
“PFFT!”
A few girls laughed out loud.
Nawu was very calm.
“Eh? You still don’t know? Emperor Dance’s folk dance class has a special spot in our Xijiang…”
Oh!
Wang Yan suddenly understood.
No wonder, your… Uh, you’re heavy on the top but could still get into this top dance academy. I finally understood why.
Nawu didn’t care. Big Bear had a big heart.
“Anyway, my dream is very simple. Find a place with a lot of good food and become a kindergarten dance teacher. As long as my salary is enough to support myself, everything else will be left for my man to worry about!”
Lin Weiwei smiled evilly. “Your man’s income… 50,000 yuan a month is definitely not enough, right?”
Cough! Cough!
Wang Yan almost choked on his wine.
During one meal, they had talked about the popularity of the students in Emperor Dance. Nawu revealed that there was once a bald middle-aged who wanted to spend 50,000 yuan a month to make her his mistress.
Today, when the old story was brought up again, Nawu tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying seriously, “If I get married and my husband is very good to me, I don’t actually need much money, only enough to support my family.”
Old Han smiled and asked, “Since you think you’re a treasure, why don’t you find the best when you look for a boyfriend?”
Nawu widened her eyes. “Who is the best? Are you the best? Or is Wang Wang the best?”
Her words stunned everyone.
Alright, Nawu, I should look at you in a new light..
You look simple, but when it comes to certain things, you really aren’t stupid.
Wang Yan smiled and raised his glass. “Come, let’s toast to Nawu’s little dream. I think it’s very good; you’re great!”
Everyone drank. Some had a big gulp, while others drank lightly, reflecting their different moods.
Since they were talking about this, and the atmosphere was right, Liu Li suddenly decided to talk about something deep.
“Why don’t we each talk about our dreams?”
70% alcohol and 80% impudence–the combination made it the right time to talk about something from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone agreed, “Okay! Come, Let’s all tell the truth!”
“Then I’ll go first.”
Liu Li started it, so she was the first to speak.
“I want to be on the stage of the Grand National Theatre, and I don’t want to be a support role in a group dance. I want to do the solo dance of as a big female lead, and I want to give it my all.
“After I leave my name in the history of dance, I will step down and settle down somewhere. I will take care of my husband and raise my children, and do some basic teaching work.”
Lu Yuanyuan was puzzled. “Why is it basic teaching? It’s a waste of your talent.”
Liu Li shook her head. “Dancing is hard. It’s harder to do the basic skills. If you want more children to go down the path, it’s very important to show them the right methods and give them strength by setting a good role model for them. I want to guide them in their pursuit with a different style.”
Very good.
Wang Yan applauded sincerely.
Then, Lin Weiwei cheered, “Come, let’s drink to Little Liu Li’s great dream of husband and children! Wang Wang will sponsor a full glass for each of us!”
It was actually a very mature and long-term plan. When Lin Weiwei cut out the part of husband and children, the dream sounded less ambitious.
Liu Li couldn’t help but laugh. “Indeed. In fact, the first step of my dream will be the most difficult part. Maybe having a husband and raising children is a most reliable plan… Haha!”
Wang Yan hugged her and said softly, “Come on, don’t worry about the result. You look the most beautiful when you chase after your dream. Anyway, you have me at your back. What are you afraid of?”
At first, he sounded loving, but the last sentence, along with the direction of his palm… made it sound like flirting!
Liu Li gave him a pat in a huff and rolled her eyes.
Then, it was Lin Weiwei’s turn.
“Me…”
“Actually, my dream is not so clear.
“It’s probably to open a posture training school or something?
“I’ll invite two friends to join me. One of them should be trained in the classic dance, while the other is trained in bodybuilding. Then, we’ll target the girls such as car models, and C-list actresses who want to marry into a rich families…
“I’ll charge them 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for a course. The business doesn’t have to be big, so we won’t be too tired but live a leisurely life in style, being exquisite, rich, and beautiful.”
Wow! Wow!
Everyone burst into laughter, clapping and whistling.
“Weiwei is marvelous!”
“You’re really good. You’re already targeting primary school students now?”
“Hurry up and earn money. I have a younger brother. When the time comes, I’ll send him to your door so you can pick a girl for him!”
Amidst the laughter, Wang Yan felt something was wrong. Why didn’t she mention dancing?
He whispered to Liu Li, “Doesn’t Weiwei like to dance?”
Liu Li shook her head and whispered into Wang Yan’s ear, “She can’t dance anymore. Her knees can’t support the intensity of the professional level dancing.”
“…”
He couldn’t console her or delve deeper into the matter.
Everyone raised their glasses together. Next, Lu Yuanyuan stood up.
“My dream is very simple. I only have one sentence for it: Enter the Chinese Opera and Dance Theater and get a formal position in it.”
That was it.
Everyone scolded her, “Hey, what’s wrong with you? Normally, you can’t stop talking, but today, it’s so simple…”
“Simple my ass!”
Lu Yuanyuan spat back, “Just this one dream is hard enough for me, okay? Do you think it’s that easy to enter my dream theatre? I’ll work hard for two more years, but still I’m not sure if the theatre will take me or not!”
After a round of quarreling, everyone reluctantly let her go.
“Alright, it’s more or less a serious dream. Come, let us wish the Big Tigress Girl all the best!”
Next was Han Luzhou.
Old Han was quite shy to speak in public, but although his speech was a bit messy, his attitude was very serious.
“My biggest dream now is to marry Xuexue and settle down in the capital, working hard to earn a small fortune, and then give birth to two babies, a boy and a girl, and raise them well.”
Wang Yan was shocked. “F*ck, Old Han, you’re only 20 years old, right? What a mature idea…”
Nawu was very puzzled. “What’s so difficult about that?”
Old Han smiled bitterly. “My future father-in-law won’t approve me so easily Other than being from the capital, I have nothing to recommend me now…”
Wang Xue held Han Luzhou’s hand and smiled sweetly. “It’s fine. Let’s work hard together.”
Then, she turned to the others and said, “My dream is the same. I want to live a peaceful and stable life with Old Han. Then, I want to learn some cooking skills, flowers planting skills and play some musical instruments, and so on. I want to be a well-rounded woman.”
Wang Yan had been feeding other people love scenes every day. Now, he was finally being fed back. Wang Yan was exasperated and quickly hugged Liu Li to calm himself down.
Lu Yuanyuan suddenly teased, “Old Han, you’ve been quite wild recently, right? If it were in the past, you wouldn’t have dared to display your love in public like this.”
Han Luzhou was stunned. Then, he raised his wine glass and looked at Wang Yan.
“Speaking of which, I actually want to thank Old Wang for it.”
Eh? !
Everyone was a little confused and looked at him in shock.
“Although I haven’t had much contact with Wang Yan, ever since I met him, I feel that I’ve changed quite a lot. Really, Old Wang, I’ve learned a lot from you.
“For example, facing the good and the bad bravely, and then expressing the feelings truthfully. Uh, there’s also the courage to show my strengths, and the courage to ignore other people’s opinions…
“Forget it, I don’t know how to say it. Anyway, I’m very happy to know you. Using you as a role model, I’m admire you very much. Cheers to you!”
Han Luzhou’s words was very garbled, but everyone could understand his general meaning, and they felt the same.
When they first met Wang Yan, they actually felt he came from a different world.
Coming from a mining province, he had bought a 500,000 yuan watch without batting an eyelid right after he graduated from high school. His bearing and manner of speaking made people feel that he was a child from a wealthy family.
There were too many hidden wealthy families in the mining province. With all kinds of bad rumors about them circling around, it difficult for people to accept him.
However, after they got to know him better, they discovered that not only did he not put on airs, he actually had a lot of good things hidden in his core.
The combination of being extremely rich and a plain and unflashy style was very rare. In addition to his exceptionally good bearing and the comfortable way when he talk to people, Wang Yan became a charming mystery for them.
Liu Li’s besties had a very high standard in the spiritual perspective . Humor,, fun, and kindness were all more important than money. Otherwise, the second generation guys like Young Master Chang and Huang Xu would not be in such a miserable state.
Of course, it would be perfect if they could have both.
Wang Yan was the type of person who was very satisfactory in all aspects. Han Luzhou didn’t lie when he said that he had learned a lot from him.
Hence, the girls started to cheer, “You two have a lovers’ drink…”
Wang Yan’s head was about to explode. He stared at them and realized that the ones who shouted the loudest were Wang Xue and Liu Li.
You two just wait!
He pointed his finger at them, only to be met with even more impudent laughter.
Well, Old Han was so sincere. He couldn’t hurt the guy’s feelings. Let’s play then.
“We’re buddies, and you don’t have to be so polite with me.”
Wang Yan patted old Han’s shoulder like a big brother.
Then, he leaned over and had a lovers’ drink with Old Han.
“Wow! Take a picture! Take a picture!”
“Liu Li, Wang Xue, sing a song!”
“Ah? What song?”
“True love is as vast as the prairie…”
“Get lost!”
After a while, everyone went wild with excitement.
Then, only Wang Yan was left.
“It’s your turn, Doggie!”
“Wang Wang, hurry up. I’m really curious. What kind of dream would a tycoon have?”
“Doggie is a typical winner in life. He can have whatever he wants. Anyway, I can’t think of anything that Doggie needs.”
“He needs a dog leash?”
“I have it! He needs Liu Li?”
“Wang Wang, you have to tell the truth! If you want a life with three wives and four concubines, you must be brave and tell us!”
Wang Yan’s face turned pale when he heard that.
What the heck?
Who said that?
You want to see me die, right?
He turned his head and looked. Sure enough… Uh, no he didn’t guess it right.
