Reboot the heyday

"Hahahaha!"

The way Lady Liu looked was really funny, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on but was too embarrassed to actually bristle.

Wang Taika watched with great interest, and instead of stopping, he sighed even more intensely, pretending to be profound, and said, "How is this bringing up old grievances? I'm just concerned about my friend's life plan. You see, if we're going to proceed according to this dream, shouldn't we start with the first stage of 'choosing a father for the children'? Do you need me to help you find one? Our company doesn't have much else, but we have quite a few men who are decent-looking but whose brains are sometimes good and sometimes bad."

"Boss, have we never fought before?" Liu Nvxia clenched her fist, waved it in the air, turned her head to look out the window, leaving only her puffed-up profile and the back of her head facing Wang Taika. Her hair swayed gently as she turned her head: "If you keep doing this, I'm really leaving. If Ningning comes out and can't find anyone, you'll have to explain it to her yourself."

Despite saying that, Lady Liu did not move an inch.

Wang Taika knew when to stop, realizing that Lady Liu wasn't as thick-skinned as she appeared, and that if he continued teasing her, she might really get angry.

Although I really want to see what Lady Liu looks like when she's angry, now is not the time.

Wang Taika said, "Okay, okay, stop joking. What's wrong with wanting to be a mother? It's a wonderful and heartwarming dream. Why would you think I'm mocking you?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Liu's shoulders twitched slightly, but she didn't turn back. She simply gave a muffled "humph," which was considered an acceptance of his apology, which wasn't really an apology.

Wang Taika took a small step forward, almost side by side with Liu Nvxia, leaning against the windowsill: "But I'm curious, you're working so hard to debut now, so if you really become famous in the future, will you feel ashamed of this initial dream?"

Lady Liu looked at Wang Taika, somewhat puzzled: "Why should I feel ashamed?"

Wang Taika thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's a world of fame and fortune. It's hard to be your true self. Things aren't like they used to be. The personas of idols are becoming more and more inexplicable. So it's good and rare to still have this kind of dream in a place like this. It means you haven't been completely eaten away by the idea that you must become famous and succeed. You still have a place in your heart to fill with other things."

"That's the path I've walked myself, my own path, why should I regret it?" Lady Liu thought for a moment, "There might be shame, but I won't regret it. Boss, your words are quite strange to me, why would you have such feelings?"

Wang Taika glanced at Liu Nvxia: "Hmm, is the next question going to be, 'Boss, did you abandon some dream? Tell me about it!'"

Lady Liu smiled and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to ask."

Wang Taika stopped looking at her and instead focused his gaze on a few young figures in the courtyard downstairs who had just finished practicing and were patting each other to relax.

"do not know."

Wang Taika's answer seemed a bit perfunctory, but his expression didn't seem to be joking. He seemed to be summarizing very seriously: "I do feel like I've lost a lot, but I can't remember it, so it must be something unimportant. The past was good, but there's no need to go back. I've made a lot of mistakes, and I feel stupid for doing them, but I don't regret them. At worst, I'll just never see some people again, and that's enough."

Looking at Wang Taika, Liu Nvxia thought that this guy was always a chaotic mess. Every time she saw him, he seemed to be busy with something different, and she couldn't even tell if he was really busy or just pretending.

I don't know where I heard this saying.

Some men are like vinyl records; you only realize they're mono after listening to them for a while.

Lady Liu felt that this sentence was very suitable for Wang Taika. Well, actually, Lady Liu herself did not know what the sentence meant. She just felt that this sentence was very appropriate in this context.

This is probably a feeling that transcends the words themselves.

Scattered thoughts left Lady Liu momentarily lost in thought. She had to admit, this strange, eccentric fellow was surprisingly alluring. Just as Lady Liu was lost in thought, Wang Taika spoke again, and in a very irritating way.

“Look, I’m so depressed, why don’t you say something similar to match me?” Wang Taika asked matter-of-factly. “It’s so embarrassing for me to be acting all sentimental by myself.”

Lady Liu laughed absurdly and said weakly, "You're such a spoilsport! You've ruined my mood."

Wang Taika asked, "What were you feeling just now? Were you trying to hold back a laugh while I was being dramatic?"

"No, no, that's not it." Lady Liu stammered, describing, "It's that feeling of not being very happy, a little worried, but not knowing why I'm worried."

Wang Taika's conclusion: "Adolescence."

"It's like that feeling, I really like the feeling of rain, but rain also brings a little sadness and a little happiness. It's a strange feeling." Lady Liu didn't know how to describe it.

In fact, there is a specific word in Chinese to describe this state of mind: loneliness.

Wang Taika said, “You will feel this way in extreme weather because such weather is a strong signal of natural imagery, such as strong winds and heavy rain, or snow falling all over the mountains. They unintentionally weaken your perception of human society.”

"At this moment, you will subconsciously realize that this is a wind blowing from elsewhere on Earth. Your vision is magnified invisibly. At this moment, you truly understand that you exist on Earth and in the universe, not in a city built by humans. Only at this moment do you truly connect with all things. What we are fascinated by is not the storm itself, but the wind carrying the scent of grass that rushes in from the cracks when the daily order is broken."

Wang Taika rarely praised the city of Seoul: "Seoul's weather loves to surprise us like this, but I quite like it. At least for a moment, all the noise is suppressed, and you can feel like you've found a wild cave in the concrete jungle. All the cheers are wet with rain, like some kind of ancient and fresh ritual."

As Liu Nvxia watched Wang Taika say these strange things, the amazing thing was that just hearing these words, mixed with words she couldn't understand, seemed to give her a wonderful sense of freedom.

Wang Taika is truly skilled at description; he made Liu feel a deep sense of empathy even though she only half-understood what he said. Perhaps only by understanding half can one have such boundless room for imagination!
Lady Liu pursed her lips, staring blankly at Wang Taika. Some things she only vaguely understood, some feelings she only half-grasped. But Lady Liu knew at least one thing: she really enjoyed listening to Wang Taika speak.

I don't even know when it started, but I just enjoy listening to Wang Taika talk nonsense, and it doesn't matter if I don't understand it.

Wang Taika took a deep breath, feeling as if he could smell the cold air from Reykjavik or the Drake Passage.

But there was nothing there, only a faint fragrance, which came from Lady Liu.

Wang Taika looked at Lady Liu and said, "You smell so good."

Lady Liu snapped out of her daze, quickly averted her gaze, and said, "I had just begun to admire you, but your words have already destroyed that feeling."

Wang Taika shrugged: "Whatever."

These words inexplicably angered Ms. Liu. She said, "Boss, you're actually a very good person, but you have one flaw: you always subconsciously sabotage things. You ruin conversations, relationships, and moods. Not to mention other people's feelings, you don't even care about your own. This is a flaw you need to correct. Although I know everyone will indulge you, since we're not strangers, nor are we just ordinary acquaintances, I feel I have to say it and tell you! I can't stand seeing you indulge in your emotional outbursts like this."

Wang Taika tilted his head and glanced at Lady Liu, saying, "Lady Liu, my feelings are exactly the opposite of yours. It's because I don't really like you."

"Why?" For some reason, Lady Liu felt a pang of sadness. (End of Chapter)
