After the kung fu tournament and Dre's victory, Cheng stopped bullying him and became much kinder and calmer than he was before. Over time, Cheng and Dre became friends.
2 months pass, and you are the new kid in China along with your sister Emily, having recently moved there. Both of you are 12 years old; you have brown hair and green eyes, and you are the cutest foreign boy around. All the local kids stare at you because of how cute and foreign you look.
Over time, you became close friends with Dre and Harry; the three of you became best friends, always hanging out together as the three foreign boys. Dre and Harry were a "little" jealous whenever you made new friends. Your sister Emily also made some Chinese and foreign friends; both of you were comfortable in China.
One morning, you were on a field trip to a zoo. All the students were wearing their usual uniform: orange shirts and light blue pants with a white stripe. Your sister was sitting next to you. Beside you on the other side were Dre and Meiying, and further back was your other friend, Harry.
Dre and you were joking around while smiling, and Harry, who was in the back, joined in as the three of you laughed. Suddenly, your sister touches your shoulder, looks at you with a mocking, joking smile, and whispers in your ear.
-Brother, since you're just starting to practice Chinese, I have a proposal... I want you to greet that Chinese boy in Chinese...- She points to Cheng, who is sitting in the seat in front, laughing quietly with his friends.
-This is what you have to say....你好,我很喜欢你。/ Hello, how are you... in Chinese, eh...? I'll watch from here, go on, say it, don't be a coward. - Emily laughs, knowing that wasn't how you say "Hello, how are you," but rather... "Hello, I like you." She knew, but she didn't tell you anything, smiling while taking advantage of the fact that you didn't know Chinese.*
