Chapter 4: Xu Rong

After Li Weijie finished bathing and washing his clothes, he hung them on the balcony. Once everything was tidied up, he made his way to the first floor.

Inside the dining room, Li Weijie saw Xu Rong, who had just finished her busy work. She had already prepared several dishes.

Seeing Xu Rong, who had just come out of the kitchen, still maintaining her elegant appearance, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Xu Rong, on the other hand, noticed that Li Weijie had taken a shower and suddenly thought of something, causing her face to blush.

Xu Rong was used to living alone and was naturally more casual. Before Li Weijie arrived, she had already prepared everything. However, she forgot that the bathroom was not a place to casually enter.

At this moment, she felt a bit embarrassed as she realized her oversight.

"Come, taste my cooking. I'll take you out for a treat later in the evening," Xu Rong said, inviting Li Weijie to sit down and eat.

Although Li Weijie wasn't very hungry, the food served on the plane was unappetizing.

Now, seeing this delicious and appetizing feast, he couldn't help but develop an appetite.

Moreover, Xu Rong had already prepared everything, so he couldn't refuse her kind gesture.

"Wow! Sister Rong, you truly have a wonderful touch. Not only are you excellent at hairstyling, but your cooking skills are also top-notch!" After putting down his chopsticks, Li Weijie couldn't help but praise.

Xu Rong had only eaten a little on the side, and upon hearing his compliment, she couldn't help but smile.

"You, why do you speak so flatteringly? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Hehe, I'm serious. Being able to taste dishes prepared by Sister Rong herself, I truly feel fortunate."

The dining table is always the best place for Chinese people to deepen their emotional connections. As they ate and chatted, they quickly dispelled any awkwardness and constraints.

"Weijie, you used to dislike entering the professional field. What happened? Did something happen to stimulate you?" Xu Rong casually asked.

She still remembered Li Weijie's calm and indifferent attitude back then. It was precisely because of his firm stance at that time that Xu Rong gave up on inviting him and only offered him a way out.

Now, she didn't want Li Weijie to act impulsively. Otherwise, she would be stifling a talent rather than nurturing one.

Li Weijie's expression immediately changed, his gaze dimmed, and he fell silent for a moment before saying lightly, "I was stimulated."

Seeing him like this, Xu Rong didn't ask him what exactly had stimulated him. She just smiled and said, "Take a few days to rest first, familiarize yourself with the environment here, relax a bit, and think it through. Although I have high hopes for your abilities, I don't want you to make a hasty decision."

Li Weijie pondered for a moment.

Although he had already made up his mind, he nodded in appreciation of Xu Rong's kindness.

After dinner, Li Weijie went to rest on his own, and Xu Rong was not an idle person either. It was already a rare occasion for her to be able to host him.

In the evening, because he rarely lived alone with a girl and was a guest in someone else's home, Li Weijie felt a bit uneasy.

When Xu Rong came back, she also seemed a little unfamiliar, but as the host, she was more enthusiastic and immediately smiled and said, "Weijie, let's go out for dinner. I'll treat you."

"Why are you so polite? It makes me feel like you're being too formal," Li Weijie said shyly, as they were not very familiar with each other yet.

"Alright, let's go. We have to eat, don't we? Are you trying to keep me busy again?" Xu Rong's elegant smile was quite persuasive.

Besides, if Li Weijie refused, it would mean she had to cook for him. So Li Weijie had no choice but to go along with her.

Although nothing significant happened during this dinner, Li Weijie felt deeply moved at this moment.

Xu Rong had her car and took him to a high-end restaurant, and in the end, she paid the bill...

All of this strengthened his determination to change. If he had no money, let alone do something grand and impressive, he wouldn't even have the face to go out for a meal with a girl!

After dinner, Li Weijie knew that everyone was still adjusting, so he took the initiative to return to his room to rest.

Having already rested for a while in the afternoon, Li Weijie wasn't easily able to fall asleep. His mind was filled with various thoughts.

Apart from his firm decision to change and find success through hairstyling, he also had some doubts.

Can his interests and work be harmonized?

Although he had participated in professional training several times and worked hard to study creative hairstyling, Shijue was a top-notch professional hair salon.

Could his skills meet their requirements?

After some time, Li Weijie suddenly heard a soft knocking on the door. Since there were only two people in the house, him and Xu Rong, it must be Xu Rong at the door. He hurriedly went to open it.

As he opened the door, Li Weijie couldn't help but feel his breath catch, his heart pounding!

Indeed, it was Xu Rong standing outside, but she no longer had the appearance of an elegant and sophisticated career woman. She was now wearing a silky robe, her casually falling hair slightly tousled, and a hint of sleepiness on her beautiful face. From up close, he could even catch a faint scent of shower gel...

Everything was filled with charm and temptation, causing Li Weijie to instinctively freeze. What made it even more enticing was that due to the loose and soft robe, Xu Rong's ample bosom appeared even more prominent and alluring!

"You're still awake?" Xu Rong smiled lightly.

Li Weijie awkwardly smiled and quickly stepped aside to let her in. "Hehe, maybe it's because I took a short nap in the afternoon."

"Heh, I thought a big man like you would have trouble adjusting to a new bed and place to sleep," Xu Rong said after entering the room, still standing and speaking.

"It's not that serious. It's just that, Sister Rong, you asked me to consider it carefully. I was just thinking that maybe my skills aren't enough to work for you yet."

Xu Rong pursed her lips and smiled. "Alright, stop being modest. I know your skills and potential. I'm sure you've improved a lot during this time."

Li Weijie could only smile. While humility was important, confidence was also crucial.

"Well, take your time to think about it. By the way, I came to give you the keys." Xu Rong extended her fair hand, holding two keys, which should be for the front door and the security door.

Li Weijie reached out and took the keys from her palm, thanking her.

"Okay, get some rest, I'm going to sleep too. Goodnight."

As Li Weijie watched Xu Rong turn to leave, he suddenly called out to her, "Sister Rong..."

"What's up?" Xu Rong turned back to look at him, her eyes asking the question.

Li Weijie exhaled and tried to sound relaxed. "Sister Rong, I've thought it through. It's not just a momentary impulse. I want to learn and work with you."

"Oh... well then," Xu Rong blinked and readily agreed.

"I hope Sister Rong can arrange it as soon as possible because..." Li Weijie hesitated for a moment and decided to be honest, "Actually, it's because of..."

He explained the situation to his girlfriend, "So now I want to keep myself busy, it might help a bit."

Xu Rong nodded after listening.

"Hmm, indulging in heartbreak is never a good thing. It's good that you have such thoughts. Then let's go to 'Shijue' together tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Rong!" Li Weijie was very happy. It was difficult for him to truly relax and rest in someone else's house.

Xu Rong smiled. "Now, get some sleep. Don't go to the salon tomorrow looking all drowsy. We have many beauties at the salon, you know!"

Li Weijie couldn't help but joke, "Hehe, no matter how many beauties there are, they can't compare to Sister Rong. Don't worry, I won't be late!"
