Shen Weixing angrily left the mall, and forcefully calmed himself down. Once his emotions stabilized, he carried the just-bought gift and went to the nearby hotel.
Professor Xia’s birthday party was being held at the hotel in the heart of the city and would be eating dinner with Shen Weixing there as well. Firstly, it was for catching up after not seeing each other for quite some time, secondly, it was to confirm tomorrow’s schedule with the hotel staff.
Shen Weixing had originally planned on bringing Ye Jiuyue with him to come eat dinner, afraid that leaving Ye Jiuyue on his own would make Ye Jiuyue unhappy. If it came to it, then he could just introduce him to Professor Xia as his new assistant.
But in the end… Ha. Ha.
Shit!
“Weixing?”
Shen Weixing’s senses returned to him. “Huh?”
“We’re eating, what’re you daydreaming about? If you’re in a daze, then don’t eat fish, you’ll get a fish bone stuck in your throat.” Professor Xia’s wife smiled and joked.
Shen Weixing with some resentment, smiled as well. “No, I was just thinking about my new drama.”
“When eating, eat properly. Work and life have to be kept separate.” Madame Xia said as she gave Professor Xia a look, then she said in rebuke, “Don’t be like certain people.”
Professor Xia carried on as if he didn’t hear anything, and continued to calmly eat.
This time Shen Weixing really did laugh at the joke. “Laoshi is someone who does great things, I couldn’t be like him even if I wanted to.”
He greatly respected Professor Xia. Apart from the gratitude for Professor Xia and his wife’s help in having kept him fed, it was also because Professor Xia was a very renowned person in his academic field. He wasn’t very sure about what position, but in any case, it was very cool. Professor Xia was a genius from a young age, he’d skipped grades and had gotten early acceptance into his university, then once he’d finished university, he’d been sent to upgrade by the country. He was so young, but at that time he’d already participated in many international-level projects. This sort of credentials, in Shen Weixing’s eyes, was god-like.
In any case, Professor Xia had a happy stable family as well, the couple respected each other and never argued. Professor Xia was engrossed in his studies and experiments, serving the country through his efforts, and Madame Xia was pretty and virtuous, taking care of things within and outside the household perfectly.
Adding in Xia Qiu, who was innocent and cute, this family of three was of a godly level in Shen Weixing’s heart.

Shen Weixing smiled as he said, “So-so.”
“Xia Qiu always says that he’s afraid that he’s holding you back.” Madame Xia sighed. “Oh, this child, back then he just had to go into show-biz no matter what. Even thinking about it, that place is messy. He’s straightforward and naive, if it weren’t for you helping him all these years, I don’t even know how many hardships he would have had to go through. ”
It was true that this was the reason why Shen Weixing had never switched his company, and instead stayed at his current company to continue protecting Xia Qiu.
He wanted to bring Xia Qiu with him and leave, but Xia Qiu had attachments to the old company and wasn’t willing to leave.
The only thing that Shen Weixing didn’t understand was what attachments Xia Qiu could have for the old company. He could only understand it as Xia Qiu gave more importance to feelings than normal people.
Now that Madame Xia brought this subject up, Shen Weixing rushed to placate her. “It’s acting anywhere I go, do the old not the new. I don’t want to leave the company either, Shimu doesn’t have to worry, I’ll take care of Xiao Qiu, I won’t let him go through hardships.”
“Good thing there’s you.” Madame Xia said in gratitude.
“Madame, don’t say that, this is what I should do.” Shen Weixing hurriedly said.
However, Professor Xia opened his mouth. He said to his wife, “You said yourself not to talk business while eating.”
“Is this business? These are private matters.” Madame Xia humorously gave him a glance, then changed the topic with Shen Weixing. “Weixing, have you found a suitable partner yet?”
Shen Weixing froze, then immediately smiled a little embarrassedly. Purposefully looking around, he said, “There aren’t reporters here, are there?”
“You cut that out, I read the gossip magazines as well, in the entertainment industry everyone says that they’re single, but in truth, you don’t even know how many have secretly married.” Madame Xia said with a smile. “You aren’t that old, so I won’t push you to marry, however, you haven’t even dated once, I’m a little worried. Shimu regards you in the same way as Xiao Qiu, you’re both our family’s kids, so don’t mind Shimu for being noisy. Actually, I’ve heard that celebrities get pushed to go to marriage interviews by their families as well, you tell me what type you like, and Shimu will help you take notice. I’ll definitely not randomly play cupid.”
“……”
I like your son, if I said this sort of thing, would you beat me to death? Shen Weixing dazedly thought.
Madame Xia urged him on, “Tell me, you must at least have some ideas.”
Shen Weixing said, “I’ve always been busy with my acting, and didn’t want to date anyone in the industry, but also rarely interact with people outside of it, so that’s why I haven’t been looking.”
“I wasn’t asking you about that, I know you’re busy, so I’ll help you pick and choose some.” Madame Xia continued to urge him, “Tell me the type that you like, that way I won’t accidentally introduce someone unsuitable, it’ll take up your time needlessly, and will waste the young lady’s time as well.”
Shen Weixing could only answer, “I don’t have many specific requirements. Just they should have a good temper, aren’t fussy, can accept being together less than being apart, and is independent; with how my job is, if they’re too clingy it’ll be bad for the both of us. And then—” He hesitated, then laughed first in embarrassment, voice lowering a little, “They should have some academic schooling I guess. I didn’t go to school much, we can’t have the whole family be illiterate.”
Madame Xia nodded. “Nothing else?”
Shen Weixing didn’t very sincerely want to find a marriage interview partner, and said, “En, just those.”
“Feels like you actually didn’t say anything.” Madame Xia bluntly criticized. “What you’re saying is too vague, it’s like you’re not sincerely looking for a marriage partner and more like you’re just placating me.”
Shen Weixing dryly laughed. “I’m not.”
Professor Xia glanced at the both of them a little powerlessly. “Are we still eating or not?”
“You eat by yourself, Weixing’s a celebrity, he doesn’t eat much in the first place. Just now he only pushed on and continued to eat in order to accompany you, he’s earnest and you’re earnest as well, so you both didn’t realize.” Madame Xia gave him a look again, then turned back to Shen Weixing. “Let’s continue talking about your matters. What requirements do you have on the matter of looks, height, weight, job, salary, familial background?”
“……” Shen Weixing asked, a little dazedly, “What requirements are needed?”
“In normal circumstances, you’d have requirements for all of these.” Madame Xia slowly instilled some ‘common sense’ into Shen Weixing. “Even Xiao Qiu has requirements.”
Shen Weixing froze, then hesitantly asked, “What requirements does he have?”
“He has plenty of requirements. She has to be so pretty she could be a national idol, has to be tall, has to have a nice figure, has to earn a lot, and has to be at the top of her field. As for her family background, she doesn’t have to have to come from one that’s too prominent, but her family relationships have to be ‘pure and simple’ enough, the best would be if she doesn’t have many relatives.” Madame Xia sighed. “So I’ve temporarily given up on finding a wife for him. Once he’s matured to the point of realizing he’s thinking too much, then we’ll talk about it again. If there was a girl like that, would they even still need to go on a marriage interview with him?”
Shen Weixing：“……”
Professor Xia spoiled and loved his son dearly. Now, he faintly interjected with a tone. “If we switched his gender, then Weixing would satisfy all of these requirements, and what’s more, he hasn’t married yet, so these requirements of Xia Qiu aren’t as hard to satisfy as you say.”
Madame Xia looked at him. “Even you know to say to switch genders, the problem is that Weixing’s not a girl.”
Professor Xia strongly argued his point. “That proves that there’s still a possibility, you can not wholly dismiss it. No one can say that there wouldn’t exist a female version of Weixing.”
Shen Weixing：“……”
“I’m too tired to argue with you. Even if there is, they’d have been married early on, Weixing’s a special case here. Oh you, protecting Xiao Qiu is alright, but have some respect for reality. Xiao Qiu’s been spoiled by you to the point of being unrealistic, in the future, if he refuses to marry unless presented with a princess, you better not get cross.” Madame Xia picked up the old topic with Shen Weixing again. “That’s going off-topic, tell me your requirements.”
Shen Weixing saw that the topic of conversation had gone in a circle and he couldn’t escape. As such, he could only seriously think about it, then reply, “I don’t have many requirements for the looks department. Everyone in the entertainment industry has good looks, seeing so many for so long they’re all around the same now, so being pleasing to the eye is enough. Height is also not important, just don’t be as tall as me, and don’t be too much shorter than me, don’t be too fat or too skinny either. As for familial background and stuff, my own isn’t all that presentable, so I basically don’t have any requirements. Job and salary—whatever I guess, he can do whatever he wants, I have money, it’s alright if he just does some proper work, if he doesn’t want to work that’s fine as well.”
Madame Xia thought it over, then said, “You really don’t have many requirements, and with your conditions, I feel like I’ll be able to drink ‘mother-in-law tea’ next year, then have hope of seeing grandkids the year after that.”
Ha. Ha.
I was just dumped~
The other party said that there was absolutely no possibility of the relationship developing~ Ha. Ha.
Shen Weixing had a smile on, but in his head, he was furiously swearing at Ye Jiuyue.
The author has something to say:
Shen Ge’s inner worldview play has already progressed to the part where he’s been cruelly abandoned and dumped. As for why he can go from the scum guy role, then in the next step suddenly switch over to the one being abandoned by the scum guy, well, it can just be taken as him having extreme talent.
