Just as Wei Xiangyu was about to serve, he lowered his hand and looked over, asking Chen Wei, "Have you heard of Long Ma?"
"I have," Chen Wei nodded, "a current table tennis national player."
"Right, I played him two years ago when he was at his peak, and I won one point, at that time I'd only been in the pro team for half a year." Bragging? Yes, Wei Xiangyu was bragging.
He was boasting for the audience that would soon watch this segment and also to Chen Wei, Su Yumei, and Liu Mi.
It was meant to increase Chen Wei's reverence for him, as well as the admiration from Su Yumei and Liu Mi.
Unbeknownst to him, Su Yumei and Liu Mi didn't have the slightest fondness for him, finding him dawdling and a time-waster.
Just play already, what's with all the idle talk?
"Oh." Chen Wei's response was still extremely perfunctory.
Neither side achieved the effect that Wei Xiangyu was hoping for.
