I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

But she probably didn’t know how charming the outfit was. She hadn’t gone far when she was stopped by a teenager jogging toward her— “Sorry to interrupt.” The young man spoke in a polite tone.

Li Xiwu raised her hand and touched the brim of her hat to her forehead. This way, her entire face was exposed. She saw the amazement in the young man’s eyes turn to shock. For a moment, he forgot what he had come over to say and just stared at her blankly.

Until Li Xiwu reminded him, “What’s the matter?”

The young man came back to his senses and his ears quickly turned red. It was obvious that he was shy. He was so shy that he did not know what to say. He kept raising his hand to touch the back of his head.

Li Xiwu sized up the youth in front of her. He had a very handsome face. His facial features were deep, especially his eye sockets, but his eyes were black, so was his hair. He also had the shape of an Asian face, Although he spoke English, she guessed that he was a mixed-blood.

He looked to be in her late teens. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black hot pants, and his feet were bare. Teenagers of this age were so inexperienced. After he spoke, he couldn’t even look her in the eye.

Li Xiwu smiled and replied in English, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go over first.

My husband is waiting for me over there.”

With that, she saw the young man’s inexperienced and coy expression clearly stiffen. Then he looked at her in disbelief. The expression seemed to say: Your husband? You’re married? Are you kidding me? That’s impossible!

The last hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, indicating how unconvinced he was at this moment.

Li Xiwu saw all the expressions on the young man’s face. She did not smile too much because of that respect. She suppressed the smile on her lips and only smiled slightly. Then, in front of the young man, she raised her hand and pretended to brush her hair behind her ear, revealing the wedding ring on her ring finger.

After brushing her hair, she walked past the young man. The young man snapped out of his daze. Seeing that his goddess was about to leave, he quickly chased after her. However, this time, he did not stop Li Xiwu. He just followed closely beside her and asked, “Are you really married?”

Li Xiwu didn’t expect the young man to catch up. “Yes, I’m married.”

The young man said, “I don’t believe you!’

Li Xiwu stopped in her tracks, and so did the youth. She turned to look at the young man, who was looking back at her.

She knew that there was no need to explain clearly. After all, he was just a stranger she had met by chance. However, when she saw the young man’s serious expression, his eyes clear and stupid, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re quite funny.”

Her laugh was gentle, and when she smiled, her expression was even more charming. The young man was dumbfounded again. He was completely mesmerized by Li Xiwu. His reaction was as if he had never seen a beauty before. Li Xiwu only smiled and he was mesmerized.

Actually, it was not that he had never seen beauties before. The young man had seen many beauties, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Li Xiwu who could charm him from head to toe,

“My husband’s waiting for me over there. I have to get over there. Bye.” She smiled back.

The young man did not leave just like that. He continued to follow her. ‘You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”

Li Xiwu did not stop walking. “How can you say that I’m lying to you?”

The young man said seriously, “You’re so young, your figure is so good, and you’re so beautiful. You should be single with a lot of people chasing you. You can’t be married.’

Li Xiwu smiled. “Thank you for the compliment.”

The young man was shy. “You don’t have to thank me, because you’re really beautiful. I’ve been to many countries and I’ve never seen anyone look so good. It’s completely in line with my aesthetic.”

Even Li Xiwu, who was used to being praised, could not resist the young man’s sincere and enthusiastic praise. She couldn’t help but ask, “Child, you’ve said this to many people, right?”

“No, no, absolutely not.” The young man raised his hand and swore. “1 swear, I’ve never said anything like that to anyone before. You’re the first.” With that, the young man made a point of correcting her. “I’m not a child. I’m eighteen years old and an adult. Also, my name is Brynn. It’s easy to remember.” After correcting her, he even told Li Xiwu his name enthusiastically.

“Got it. See you again.” Li Xiwu didn’t intend to chat much with the youth and continued walking.

But the young man was like sticky candy, insisting on sticking to her. “To show my sincerity, I said my name. Can you tell me your name?”

Li Xiwu shook her head. “Sorry.”

The young man tried to reassure himself. “It doesn’t matter. You must have your concerns if you didn’t tell me.”

Li Xiwu: ‘

She stopped walking for the second time. The young man beside her stopped walking. For the second time, he stopped. “Are you going to tell me your name?”

Li Xiwu asked the youth, “What do you want to do?”

“No, no. Don’t misunderstand.” The young man quickly clarified. “I don’t mean any harm. I just want to, want to, want to get to know you.” After saying the last few words, the young man lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look Li Xiwu in the eye.

Li Xiwu was a little helpless, but she still said her name. “My name is Li Xiwu.”

The young man looked up. “Li Xiwu?”

Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. “Have you heard of this name?”

The young man shook his head. “Not that I’ve heard of it. I just think it’s quite a mouthful.”

Li Xiwu thought to herself that of course it was a mouthful. It would be strange if it went smoothly after the name she had come up with.

The young man was clearly happy. He raised his left hand to scratch the back of his head, then his right hand to scratch the back of his head. He alternated his hands and asked very softly, “Can I add you on WeChat?”

Probably not many girls could face the young man’s face and some inexperienced actions without batting an eyelid. However, to Li Xiwu, other than feeling that the young man was a little cute and funny, her heart was indeed calm.

She said to the young man, “Sorry, no.”

The young man looked dejected. In the next second, he promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t harass you..”
