She realized that it was also about time for her to return to the restaurant . Otherwise, Yan Rusheng wouldn't be able to find her when he went back .
"You are Chinese . " The man pointed at Xuxu as he spoke in Chinese, however, it sounded awkward, as if he wasn't fluent .
He shot Xuxu a look of surprise, although his voice sounded far different from being surprised .
After all, Xuxu looked like an oriental lady from head-to-toe .
It didn't surprise Xuxu when he spoke in Mandarin . She calmly replied, "Oh, so you're Chinese too . "
The man knitted his eyebrows and was curious of Xuxu's reaction . "Why aren't you surprised?"

Perhaps he was brought up overseas and wasn't used to speaking in Mandarin . Hence, he switched back to English .
Xuxu pressed her lips together while looking at his naturally curled hair . "What's there to be surprised about? Your raven black hair, which resembles hog bristles . It doesn't make you look like a Westerner at all . "
In Country Y, there were Chinese tourists and ethnic Chinese everywhere, so it was not at all that surprising to run into someone of the same nationality .
Just like when she was back in the Capital City, she would run into a foreigner almost every day .
"Hog bristles?" The man stretched out his hand to touch his hair . Without shame in his words, he asked, "What hog bristles?"
Looking at his naïve expression, Xuxu could hardly suppress her laughter . She wondered if she was being too unethical when she used Mandarin to tease a fellow countryman who was clueless about the Chinese language . Would she appear to be too unpatriotic?

But this fellow was getting on her nerves by incessantly following her .
As she mulled over it, she pointed to his charming face and sternly warned him a second time . "Don't keep following me, or I'll call the police . "
But the man wasn't intimidated . "Is this considered as meeting an old friend in a foreign place? Don't be so cold . Shall we exchange names?"
Without waiting for Xuxu to respond, he introduced himself in faltering Mandarin . "My name is Su Yan . The character Su refers to Suzhou while Yan refers to speech . "
Why was this fellow jabbering on and on at her ears? What was he up to? Why was there a need to strike a conversation when he was so good-looking? He's obviously up to no good .
As Xuxu thought to herself, she halted her footsteps again . She then turned around to look at Su Yan with all seriousness she could muster . "Little rascal, do you know the meaning of old friend?"
Su Yan innocently blinked his eyes and shook his head as he waited for Xuxu to enlighten him .
Xuxu clarified, "Old friend refers to a long-time friend, and meeting an old friend in a foreign place means meeting a long-time friend at a place far away from home . Thus, we are not considered old friends but just fellow countrymen . Do you understand?"
She explained in detailed English .
Su Yan nodded with an oh . "I got it . Are you here on a vacation?"
Xuxu was speechless…
It's too difficult to communicate properly with this fellow .
Forget it . The best way to disregard a person is to completely ignore him . Thus, she turned around and continued walking ahead .
This time around, she let Su Yan rattle on . Once she returned to the restaurant, everything would be fine .
Su Yan followed her all the way and continuously took photos of her . One moment, he'll be bouncing to her left and the next moment, he'll be on her right . Occasionally, he'll run in front of her and take pictures of her front profile .
It was tranquil along the vintage-looking street . The lady was dressed in an orange dress and white flats . The wind blew and messed up her hair, so she raised her hand and tucked them behind her ears . Such casual action of hers revealed her aloof and dignified aura .
Su Yan stared blankly for a moment at the lady from his camera lens . After he had snapped out of his daze, he swiftly pressed the shutter .
"Smile a little . "
He felt that if this lady were to smile more, he could find a sense of warmth from her .
