Chapter 26: Should Sister Meng use her beauty to seduce him?
"Let's go inside first!"
Wang Chunzai adjusted his coat collar and was the first to push open the glass door of the coffee shop.
The wind chimes on the door emitted a series of soft, tinkling sounds.
She turned around and waved to Meng Ziyi and Wang Zian, then glanced at the road; the square-faced boy was reversing into a parking space, his taillights flashing in the night.
Sister Meng is very enthusiastic, or rather, very outgoing.
The two had only exchanged a few words on WeChat and talked briefly at the restaurant.
To be precise, from the time they met until now, the total time they have spent face-to-face together is no more than twenty minutes.
But now she's walking next to Prince An, a little too close.
She was practically ready to hug his arm and snuggle up to him while they talked.
Wang Zian moved half a step to the left, and her shoulder followed half an inch.
He took another half step, and her body naturally tilted to the side by half an inch.
Her coat kept brushing against Wang Zi'an's jacket sleeve, making him a little nervous.
"Wang Zian, let me tell you; there are so many fun things to do at the Beijing Film Academy!"
"Acting is just one aspect; the feeling of portraying a character and bringing that character to life is amazing!"
Sister Meng enthusiastically shared her passion for acting and her experiences at the Beijing Film Academy.
Her voice was fast and crisp, like a jar pouring out candy, crackling and popping.
She gestures with her hands in the air while speaking; her whole person is like a warm, pink flame.
Prince An felt uncomfortable.
It wasn't because of Wang Zi'an himself, nor was it because he had no issues with Sister Meng.
It's simply because Sister Meng smells so good.
The fragrance wasn't overpowering or pungent; it was a subtle scent that became particularly noticeable after being warmed by body heat.
The closer she got, the more tangible, three-dimensional, and impossible to ignore the fragrance became.
He's a newbie who's been single for eighteen years, and he's finding it a bit too much!
He put his hands in his jacket pockets, tilted his head to the right, and pretended to look at the movie posters on the wall.
The poster was a replica of "Amélie," with Audrey Tautou looking at the camera with sly eyes.
Suddenly, Wang Zian's mind cleared up.
Is this some kind of honey trap?
The "beauty trap" is, as the name suggests, about using a beautiful woman to seduce you.
He was now surrounded by a woman wearing a low-cut top, bright red lipstick, and smelling wonderful.
But don't the honey traps in TV dramas take place in the bedroom?
Sister Meng, in front of everyone!
Is there any way to use a honey trap so blatantly?
····
Wang Zian suppressed his surging thoughts.
What was Sister Meng saying next to her?
It seems to be about a play that her class put on, in which she plays a spoiled rich girl. During rehearsals, she got so angry that she forgot all of the male lead's lines.
She laughed first when she mentioned something funny, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
Amidst the turmoil in Wang Zi'an's heart, Teacher Wang Chunzai led them to a private room.
He then came to his senses, shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and looked around the shop.
The private room wasn't big, but it was decorated quite nicely.
European style, magnificent.
"What would you like to drink?" Teacher Wang Chunzai smiled warmly; she took off her coat and draped it over the back of the chair, then handed over the menu on the table. "Take a look at this menu, it's on me today!"
Wang Zian and Wang Chunzai were not familiar with each other, so he politely did not reach out to take it.
But Sister Meng is different.
She flashed a smile, revealing two rows of bright white teeth, and took the menu from Wang Chunzai's hand; her movements were as practiced as if she were at home.
"Thank you, teacher! I finally got to drink the coffee you treated me to!"
"Mengmeng, you brat," Wang Chunzi rolled her eyes at her, but her eyes were curved into a smile, "You make it sound like the teacher has always been stingy."
She complained, but in her heart she was very satisfied with Meng Ziyi.
From the hotel lobby to the coffee shop private room, with Meng Ziyi cracking jokes in between, the atmosphere wasn't too formal or like a negotiation.
Meng Ziyi pretended to be embarrassed and covered her mouth with the menu while laughing, revealing a pair of eyes that curved into crescent moons.
"Oh dear! No way!"
"Our teacher is usually very kind to us, but she has very high expectations for us in class!"
"That's all for your own good. Without good acting skills, how can you survive in this industry?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, teacher!" Meng Ziyi shook her head and tidied her loose hair a little.
Prince An sat there, watching the two of them talk.
"Just give me a glass of Blue Mountain coffee!"
Then, Sister Meng brought the menu to Wang Zi'an.
"Junior brother, the coffee here is all very good, please order whatever you like!"
Wang Zian nodded, his gaze sweeping over the menu.
Latte, cappuccino, mocha, Americano, macchiato, and conpoy; each one is accompanied by a beautiful photo.
Among the many names, he saw a familiar one.
Give the uncle a cappuccino!
"This is it! Cappuccino!" Wang Zian pointed to the menu.
Sister Meng nodded, then looked at Wang Chunzai with her big eyes.
"Teacher Wang, what would you like to drink?"
"Just like you!"
"Okay!"
After saying that, Sister Meng stood up, took the menu, and turned to walk towards the door of the private room.
Before getting up, she winked at Wang Zi'an; but the wink was so big that everyone could see it!
Wang Zian stared at the blinking afterimage, and his lips twitched.
Sister Meng, you don't think you're so clever, do you?
Once Sister Meng's figure disappeared from the doorway of the private room and the door closed, the room fell silent.
Wang Zian looked at Teacher Wang Chunzai somewhat awkwardly; there was a marble table between the two of them.
Wang Chunzai was relaxed, his smile natural and approachable; "Don't be nervous, Meng Ziyi is just like that!"
She didn't directly reveal her true purpose for today; after all, everyone in the private room knew exactly what it was.
She chose a lighter topic to transition.
How did you two meet?
Wang Zian briefly recounted how he met Meng Ziyi at the restaurant.
After listening, Wang Chunzai once again gave Meng Ziyi a thumbs up in his heart.
"Hahaha~!"
Teacher Wang smiled and shook her head. "She's just that outgoing! A girl from Northeast China, you should understand!"
Wang Zian nodded; "I do know Sister Meng. I saw her on Weibo when I was researching information about the Beijing Film Academy!"
"The most beautiful campus belle of the Class of 13!"
"Hahahaha~!" Wang Chunzai's laughter rose another half degree; this time he was genuinely amused.
"These are all things that you young people like."
The next second, she changed her tone; her manner was still amiable, but the direction of her words shifted.
"If you came to Beijing Film Academy, you'd probably be the most handsome guy on campus this year!"
Prince An was at peace.
There was no fluctuation despite Wang Chunzai's hint.
He still wore that polite, faint smile.
Sitting opposite him, Wang Chunzai was a little anxious.
Seeing that Wang Zian's expression remained unchanged, she was unsure of what the young man was thinking.
Suddenly, she remembered the instructions Dean Wang Jinsong had given her before she came.
