Wang Xiaoqiang had been "taking care" of Zhong Ping for a few days before he returned home. He had just reached the villa when he noticed someone had arrived. With blond hair, blue eyes, and a striking figure that stood over 1.7 meters, it was none other than Mikoer, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Mikoer, a reporter from Global Magazine's Weird Chef, visited Wang Xiaoqiang unexpectedly. Following American customs, Wang Xiaoqiang gave Mikoer a big hug.

"Hey, you've grown!" Wang Xiaoqiang muttered in his local dialect.

"What did you say?" Mikoer, who could understand Mandarin but not Wang Xiaoqiang's local dialect, couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, I said you've become more beautiful!" Wang Xiaoqiang gave Mikoer a thumbs up.

"Thanks," Mikoer enjoyed hearing men compliment her, and she also hoped to praise others... "but, Wang, you've also become more handsome and mature..."

"Really? I don't see it. Haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed as he led Mikoer into the villa,

As soon as they entered the villa, Mikoer's gaze eagerly searched for Little Bai. Little Bai dashed out from a hidden spot, but to Mikoer's disappointment, he ran towards Wang Xiaoqiang instead of her.

Wang Xiaoqiang opened his arms and scooped Little Bai into his embrace. Having not seen him for several days, he felt an exceptional fondness for him, and Little Bai nuzzled his face, showing great affection, which made Mikoer feel a mix of envy and jealousy.

"Give me a hug..." Mikoer expressed a strong desire, reaching out her hands towards Little Bai.

"Little Bai, be good, let sister hug you, sister even gave you bread before..." Wang Xiaoqiang coaxed Little Bai and then handed him over to Mikoer, but unfortunately, just as Little Bai's body was handed over, he accidentally pressed on Wang Xiaoqiang's hand,

While Mikoer played with Little Bai, Wang Xiaoqiang went upstairs to fetch some red wine and two glasses, pouring each of them a glass, aware that Americans drank red wine like water.

"Thank you..." Mikoer took the red wine, clinked glasses with Wang Xiaoqiang, and took a sip, her mood slightly gloomy... "Wang, I came this time mainly to see you, because it might not be convenient to come here in the future..."

"You came to see Little Bai, not me, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang joked.

"That's one way to put it, but really, I won't have the chance to come anymore..." Mikoer said somberly.

"Why?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked in surprise, not understanding what could possibly hold back this American girl.

"Because I'm planning to quit my job at Weird Chef Magazine. I'll stay home to help my father manage the estate, so I can't just run around anymore..." Mikoer explained sadly.

"Then stay a few more days, spend more time with Little Bai..." Wang Xiaoqiang, knowing Mikoer came mostly because of Little Bai, suggested this.

"This trip is my last field visit in China, finish the assignment, submit my resignation..." Mikoer stated seriously... "Wang, you promised me you'd try to develop your career in the United States, have you made up your mind?"

"I've made up my mind." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "These past few days I've been contemplating this... Since you're here, I plan to go to the United States with you..."

"Really? You're not joking?" Mikoer said excitedly.

"Of course not." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Mwah!" Overwhelmed with emotion, Mikoer couldn't help but kiss Wang Xiaoqiang on the cheek, which in America really isn't a big deal, considered either a sign of affection or just politeness.

"So, are we taking Little Bai with us?!" Mikoer asked Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Of course." Wang Xiaoqiang said, spreading his hands, "If I didn't bring Little Bai, would you still welcome me?"

"Hmm, little guy, you're going abroad," Mikoer said excitedly to Little Bai.

Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't understand Mikoer's fondness for Little Bai, much like he couldn't grasp Americans' love for adventure.

From the perspective of a farmer, Wang Xiaoqiang thought it was a rather boring and annoying venture. Yet, some people tirelessly enjoyed it.

Next, with Mikoer's help, Wang Xiaoqiang applied for his passport and took care of everything quickly as Mikoer had to return immediately to the United States to await his arrival,

During the half-month wait for the passport, Wang Xiaoqiang began intensively studying English. Thanks to the Spiritual Spring inside him, his learning was now even sharper than before. Of course, that alone wasn't enough; he also enrolled in an English remedial class in the Provincial Capital, attending every morning,

The remedial class was recommended by Mikoer to hone Wang Xiaoqiang's spoken English. The teacher was an American woman named Kalina, a friend of Mikoer's, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a stunning figure and attractive appearance, but she wasn't as sweet-looking as Mikoer and appeared more mature,

There were ten students in the class, including Wang Xiaoqiang: eight boys and two girls. Wang Xiaoqiang felt that only he and the two girls were there purely to learn English, while the seven boys seemed mostly interested in getting close to the attractive teacher. These boys appeared to come from wealthy families and were quite lavish with their spending. It looked like they were second-generation rich kids. Wang Xiaoqiang, usually more frugal, but with a lifestyle not inferior to those rich kids since he was the owner of a several-hundred-million-worth company. However,

Despite his low profile, when the boys saw Wang Xiaoqiang driving a Hummer to class, they didn't dare underestimate him, thinking he must be a wealthy heir equal to them, so they were keen to make his acquaintance. But seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was indifferent, they realized he was there to study seriously and tactfully did not disturb him. These seven boys, however, got along very well, often hanging out together, even toileting in pairs, and their conversations during breaks were all about who could woo Kalina first. They even made a game of it: whoever won Kalina's favor first would become their sworn leader. They were still fairly immature, enjoying this kind of thing, and although Wang Xiaoqiang was about the same age, he found their talk and behavior juvenile and distasteful, naturally disdainful of mixing with them.
