"Yeah!" Xia Weiyi promptly replied and then, clapping her hands together, she excitedly looked at the man: "You can actually speak Chinese?"
The man nodded: "My mother is Chinese, so I can still speak Chinese."
He paused for a moment, assessed Xia Weiyi's loungewear, and then asked: "Are you new here?"
"Yes— " Xia Weiyi responded in an extremely friendly manner, pointing to the villa next door: "I live right next door to you, from now on we're neighbors—"
"But— I feel like you look so familiar—"
Initially, Xia Weiyi hadn't paid much attention to him; it was only after he spoke in Chinese that she started to carefully size him up.
Standing at 1.8 meters, he had the tall figure of a British man, golden tousled hair, fair skin, but his eyes weren't the pure blue of typical Europeans.
Looking closely, they indeed have the blackish-grey of Asians.
The gentlemanly man responded with a smile: "Have you seen the movie 'Lost in Space'?"
