Chapter 166 Reunion
Seeing that everyone enjoyed the food, Namir started adding some food to the plates with a spoon. Although he was the only person here who had tasted Zhang Wei's cooking before, he was still a little skeptical when he saw the appearance of the dish.
However, before he tried it, he thought it would not be bad, but it would be a long way from being delicious. After he took a bite, he was immediately captivated by the sweet and sour taste.
In the end, everyone gave good reviews to the three dishes, but they preferred a lighter taste for the cold noodles. However, they still finished the shredded chicken. Namier didn't like noodles very much, so he only ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded chicken.
From this attempt, Zhang Wei also knew in which aspects she should improve the taste, and everyone had a new understanding of her cooking skills, so they naturally trusted her to prepare the food for the party.
On the day of the agreed party, she and Dora woke up early. Although the agreed time was eleven o'clock, they got up early and started busying themselves.
Namir and Manny also came to help decorate the back garden, because Zhang Wei booked the party venue in a garden full of roses.
Zhang Wei is only responsible for the kitchen. She can't do it alone today. She and the chef had tried out the recipes yesterday, and there were no particularly difficult dishes. After all, it was summer, and the dishes were mainly light.
Around half past ten, Zhang Wei was almost ready. She dressed up a little, put on the skirt from the last photo shoot, and put on some lipstick.
When she saw Dora skillfully putting on her makeup, she was really surprised:
"Wow! When did you learn that?"
"If I don't want to waste two hours hiring a makeup artist, I'll have to learn how to do it myself, just to save time!"
Then she took a closer look at Zhang Wei's face and said, "You look good like this. No need for makeup. You look great!"
"You really have an aura after putting on makeup!"
Zhang Wei was honest, Dora's temperament was a bit cold, but her golden hair added a touch of sweetness to her. After she put on makeup, she looked very sharp, giving people a feeling of keeping away from strangers.
But as soon as she spoke, the atmosphere disappeared: "This will save a lot of trouble. I forgot that this is a gathering of familiar friends. I will change it!"
Zhang Wei looked at her holding a wet wipe to remove her makeup and immediately said:
"It's okay, it's beautiful like this. It's too troublesome to mess around with it. It's nice for everyone to see a different Dora."
As soon as Dora stood up, Zhang Wei was in trouble again because she was wearing high heels!
Zhang Wei has only worn thick-heeled leather shoes with a little heel so far. Besides being used to wearing them at school, she also finds them troublesome and uncomfortable. Comfort is more important, so she looks even shorter when standing next to Dora.
There's no way around it, this is a fatal flaw. Who would have thought that the 165cm height that Zhang Wei dreamed of in her previous life would become a fatal flaw here. But thinking that she still has a few years to grow taller, she isn't so depressed anymore. She should be able to grow to 1.7 meters... right?
The moment Zhang Wei saw Paris at the door, a sentence popped up in her mind: Could it be that everyone ate pig feed and only left her behind?
She looked at the handsome young man who got out of the car and sighed in her heart, it seems that she still thinks Asian faces are the most handsome.
Looking at Paris now, he is completely different from the poor little girl who was silent and lonely and complained about being bullied by the librarian.
He walked with confidence, his back straight, he was tall, with short black hair, and outstanding facial features that had the angularity of a Westerner but the softness of an Asian. Only his eyes had a hint of gray-blue, which prevented him from being mistaken for a pure Asian.
Looking at Zhang Wei standing at the door to greet him, he only smiled, but he quickened his pace, revealing his mood:
"Vera!"
"Paris, long time no see!"
They shook hands and hugged like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Zhang Wei found that she was only as tall as his chest.
"How long will you stay this time?" Paris handed the snacks he brought to Betty and followed Zhang Wei to the backyard.
"About a month, how's it going? Have you been busy during this time?"
"If you're looking for me, I'm definitely not busy."
This surprised Zhang Wei: "Paris, this doesn't sound like something nice you could say. Tell me, have you ever trained with Mr. Lin?"
As soon as I saw Paris Zhang Wei, I felt that he had a vaguely familiar temperament, that kind of sociable ability that made others feel comfortable, very similar to his father, Mr. Lin.
"No, Vera, this is what I really mean. For friends I haven't seen for a long time, of course I have time anytime!"
Although Paris was sincere, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh:
"You've changed so much!"
"You haven't changed at all!" Paris laughed.
"Everyone says so." Zhang Wei could only shrug indifferently.
There's no way, she's not a real teenager. Growth is such a wonderful word, it's really gone forever.
Even if she could live her life over again, she wouldn't be able to re-experience the growing process of adolescence, so everyone says she hasn't changed.
That’s right, that’s why the old saying goes “Flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again”, which perfectly proves the situation at this moment, making Zhang Wei feel a little melancholy.
"Vera, are you troubled?" Paris was as sharp as ever.
"Yes, time always passes so quickly before reminiscing."
"Whether it's the past, present, or future, as long as you're doing what makes you happiest and what you want to do most, there's nothing to regret. Time always moves forward, doesn't it?"
It can be heard that Paris has really become much more open-minded. It seems that he has been living a good life in recent years. Zhang Wei is also happy for him.
"Are you discussing some philosophy of life?" Dora looked at Paris without being too surprised.
Then former classmates and friends arrived one by one. It seemed that only Zhang Wei was surprised by the changes in everyone. It seemed that everyone had adapted well to these changes, but Zhang Wei was the only one who still felt a little uncomfortable looking at everyone who was completely different from what he remembered.
It seemed that only in her memory were everyone still there, but in fact everyone had already gone very far.
However, seeing that teachers Mori and Ethan had not changed much, Zhang Wei felt that these three years were not a long time ago, and the teachers still looked familiar.
Beth, the former captain of Zhang Wei's baseball team, can be said to have changed the most. She now looks like an adult, a strong female baseball player.
"Are you a professional player now?" Zhang Wei still remembers her ideal.
"Well, I guess so." Beth didn't look particularly happy.
"Congratulations on realizing your dream!" Zhang Wei raised his juice and toasted with her.
