Myeongdong, located in the center of Seoul, has always been the best place for tourists to go shopping, with millions of people visiting it every day.
This is the largest commercial street in Seoul, with numerous shops, including major comprehensive shopping malls and the latest fashion stores, local cosmetics stores and duty-free shops, as well as large and small gourmet shops, where tourists can meet their various needs.
Basically everything can be satisfied.
Myeongdong is even more prosperous at night.
After taking photos for BC card promotion and printing on the card during the day, Lin Qing originally planned to go with Yan Jun to have a casual meal with VOGUKORA's senior management to exchange feelings, but before departure, he suddenly changed his mind.
, so he left Yan Jun behind and asked the team to take him to Myeongdong for a walk.
Under Lu Han's influence, he had actually wanted to experience the local customs of Seoul here for a long time.
It is said that this guy became an idol because he was discovered by a talent scout while shopping in Myeongdong while studying abroad.
Of course, this kind of thing is most likely a marketing topic deliberately released by the agency, with the purpose of increasing the storytelling and online discussion of its artists.
So Lin Qingyuan didn't know whether it was true or false. After all, he never asked Lu Han what the truth was.
But it's really lively and prosperous here.
There are people coming and going on this street. Because some schools have started to go on summer vacation, the flow of people in Myeongdong tonight seems to be much larger than on weekdays.
Lin Qing originally walked around the streets and took many photos, and then walked into a shop that sold various small commodities and souvenirs, intending to buy something interesting or beautiful to take back home as a gift.
"welcome!"
Lin Qingyuan curiously walked into the store door and nodded to the clerk standing by who greeted him warmly.
"Hello, I need to buy some souvenirs." Lin Qingyuan communicated in his unskilled Korean.
"Okay, please follow me."
After the clerk took Lin Qingyuan to a specific area where various souvenirs were placed, he said goodbye and left.
There was a lot of traffic tonight, and people were coming in and out all the time, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay and provide one-on-one service.
But this is exactly what Lin Qingyuan wanted.
He looked around for a while and found a girl wearing a tight black dress and a mask on her face carefully selecting small pendants.
So there is no risk of exposure at all.
He can slowly do multiple-choice questions during shopping.
Keychains, mobile phone cases, dolls, hairpins...
Lin Qingyuan felt that these things were not suitable for giving to his group of male friends. Maybe Huang Zitao, who had a girlish heart, would accept them without hesitation.
I feel like the things here are only suitable for girls.
So he turned around and went to the shelves behind him to start scanning the goods. He saw the girl wearing a mask holding a Chinese knot and muttering to herself: "Is this a Korean knot? I haven't seen it before."
..."
"This is the Huaguo knot, which originated from China, but was applied for World Heritage status by the South Korean government this year." Lin Qingyuan frowned and hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but explain it out loud, and also emphasized the issue of national ownership.
Although he didn't want to have too much contact with passers-by to avoid exposing his identity and causing confusion, he had no choice but to see South Korea continue to steal things from China.
Lin Qingyuan gave gifts such as Hua Guojie to Neon fans at the Neon Walk fan meeting last year, but he did not give them to South Korean fans. As a result, South Korea applied for World Heritage status this year.
This is really outrageous.
In the final analysis, the ability to export culture at this stage is still too weak, resulting in overseas countries knowing little about China.
He is always exported and rarely exports others.
This is the status quo that Lin Qingyuan needs to work hard to change.
"Neon gold?" The girl looked over in surprise.
Because she just spoke in Japanese, and Lin Qingyuan was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he answered her in Japanese.
And the most important thing is that Lin Qingyuan was wearing a mask at this time, which is the standard for most neon people going out on the street.
"Chinese." Lin Qingyuan curled his lips.
Although Chinese, Japanese, and Korean citizens often work undercover for each other overseas, it is better not to be clever at times like this. Lin Qingyuan's current status requires him to be cautious in his words and deeds.
"Simi Masai, I understand." The girl behaved very politely and even bowed slightly to apologize.
"You're welcome, just don't make a mistake next time."
"Hi." The girl responded softly.
Because there were a lot of friends who needed to give gifts, it took about twenty minutes to select a dozen satisfactory products. Lin Qingyuan went to the counter to check out.
But just as he was taking his wallet out of his pocket to pay, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Exaggeration, I seem to have forgotten my wallet at the hotel this morning...
Moreover, WeChat and Alipay are not used in South Korea, and Lin Qingyuan has not handled local credit card and online banking online payments, so this seems to be embarrassing.
Lin Qingyuan never thought that one day he would be stumped by money. After all, this is reality, not some stingy reality show like poor travel or business simulation.
"I'm sorry, I forgot my wallet at the hotel. I'd better return these and buy them again when I go back to the hotel and find my wallet." In order to avoid the embarrassing escalation caused by the cashier's questioning, Lin Qingyuan said first.
It's so embarrassing, I will definitely not come again.
"Gui, um... let me pay for him."
Lin Qingyuan looked back and saw that the girl just now had just finished picking out the things she wanted to buy and came over to check out.
But she was speaking in Korean this time.
"Um..." Lin Qingyuan was embarrassed.
He decided that before coming to South Korea next time, he must ask someone to help him make online payment or credit card. He must prevent this situation from happening. It is so embarrassing...
"It's okay, that's it. I'll help you with it first. If you really can't wait until you get back to the hotel, you can find a way to return it to me. Just think of it as a reward for the Koppuhua national knot you just gave me in Japanese." The girl smiled and shook her head.
Shake his head.
Lin Qingyuan hesitated for a moment: "Well, thank you."
Embarrassment is embarrassing, but solving the problem first is the right way, and this is the best solution to the problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So there is no need for Lin Qingyuan to pretend to refuse here, since he is not refusing to pay back the money anyway.
"You're welcome, just remember to bring your wallet next time."
"I see you have a good memory..."
"It's not bad." The girl had already rolled her eyes with a smile.
Upon seeing this, the clerk began to scan the code, then packed the two people's things separately and issued two receipts.
Carrying their respective bags and walking out of the store, Lin Qingyuan was the first to speak out: "So how should I contact you?"
"Do you have Kakao?" The girl took out her mobile phone.
"We still have this." Lin Qingyuan nodded, then took out her phone from her pocket and added her friend.
"Oh no! Is your profile picture a selfie of Lin Qingyuan?" The girl suddenly exclaimed: "Ka Kuoyi!"
"Ah, yes." Lin Qingyuan looked at the extra person in his friend list, "Your profile picture is not bad either."
"So..." The girl lowered her head and was silent for a while, then her tone suddenly became extremely serious and asked: "Do you know her? She is the person in my Kakao avatar."
"Miyawaki Sakura? Sakura?" Of course he would never forget the idol that Lin Qingyuan's ex-girlfriend liked in his previous life.
"Eh?! So you know each other!" The girl instantly became happy, and even her tone became much cheerful.
"She is your idol?"
"Idol isn't really an idol. Well, actually..." The girl took off her mask to reveal a delicate and pretty face, with a friendly and gentle smile. "I am her!"
But Lin Qingyuan did not show the excitement of fans meeting their idols as she had expected.
He just stood there quietly, looking down at the face with fine makeup and fair skin.
I have to lament that artists in Seoul are everywhere...
No wonder South Korea claims to have millions of trainees, so the probability of meeting a celebrity on the street is much higher than in China.
In the long and strange silence, the more embarrassing party finally took the initiative to break the peaceful atmosphere.
"Although I know that I am not a particularly well-known idol now, if you don't even react at all when you see me like this, I will be hurt inside..."
"I'm sorry, should I scream?" Lin Qingyuan asked calmly with his eyes calm.
"It doesn't need to be like this." Miyawaki Sakura was stunned, and the two fell into silence. This man really couldn't speak.
"Do you know how I met you?"
"Huh?" Miyawaki Sakura turned her head and looked at this tall man who was very fashionable and stylish.
"I know Ju Jingyi, also known as Kiku. You are all idols from the 48 series, right?"
In fact, he had watched the video of Sakura's game live broadcast before. This girl specializes in PC games, such as Resident Evil, Fall Guys, and all kinds of messy games.
"Oh! Kiku-chan? Do you still know Kiku-chan?" Miyawaki Sakura covered her mouth in surprise.
"I...acted with her."
Lin Qingyuan was too lazy to hide it. Everyone was an artist, so there was no need to continue to hide his identity.
As for whether this sister will take the opportunity to seduce him and create a big news that is beneficial to her after knowing his identity.
Most likely not.
And even if he does, Lin Qingyuan can handle it.
The little idols who are on the verge of becoming obsolete cannot fight against the big capital forces behind the top transnational figures.
"Eh? Are you still an actor?!"
Lin Qingyuan looked around, pulled Miyawaki Sakura into an alley where no one passed, and then took off the mask on his face under her surprised eyes.
"I don't use Kakao very much, and I don't add many friends, so it's very convenient to just use my own photo as a profile picture." He smiled and explained the origin of the selfie profile picture.
Although it was just a flash, Lin Qingyuan quickly put on the mask again, but it was still accompanied by the warm evening breeze in early summer, causing ripples in the hearts of others.
Looking at the perfect thick-faced face in front of her that was still three-dimensional even after removing makeup, Miyawaki Sakura froze on the spot. She couldn't help but be stunned, her breathing gradually stopped, and her thoughts were so confused that she couldn't describe it, and she couldn't imagine it at all.
What kind of luck do you have?
Although she was not a fan of Lin Qingyuan, it was really hard to imagine that she could meet a foreign star of this level when she went shopping to relax and unwind.
This year, she first announced the disbandment of the limited-edition girl group IZ*ON, which was launched following the talent show. Then she graduated from HKT48, where she stayed for eight years, and is currently working hard for her second debut as a trainee.
As for the person in front of her... the 24-year-old double-actor Yishidi, a popular actor who stands at the top of Asia Entertainment, whose popularity and influence radiates throughout the Far East. She looked up at his huge screen in Seoul and Tokyo countless times.
In fact, she has always been a very ambitious or scheming girl, but the insurmountable gap in status and identity made her speechless at the moment.
"I'll go back and ask someone to complete the Kakao payment and then transfer the money to you. Remember to send me your bank card number when the time comes, otherwise I won't be able to pay you back the money."
Fortunately, at this time, Lin Qingyuan spoke.
"Hi...Hi Yi..." Miyawaki Sakura barely woke up. She lowered her head and subconsciously replied in her native language.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you today, otherwise it would definitely be embarrassing." Lin Qingyuan thanked him.
Miyawaki Sakura nodded slightly, "It doesn't matter. The things you bought Lin Sang are not very expensive."
"Whether it's expensive or not, it all costs your money. You earn your own money." Lin Qingyuan pointed to the taxi parked on the roadside in the distance, "Then I'll go back first?"
"Mmm Good."
"Do I need to take you home?" Lin Qingyuan joked casually in a relaxed mood.
"No need for this..."
But just as Lin Qingyuan was about to leave, a submissive voice suddenly came from behind him and stopped him. He turned around and looked at the girl in front of him.
"Arnold...nice to meet you today." Miyawaki Sakura raised her head and looked timidly into Lin Qingyuan's eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Lin Qingyuan looked at her for a while, he laughed dumbly: "Me too."
Can a debut idol really be so shy?
He didn't believe it, but there was no need to insist on truth.
After all, this is someone else's right, and he himself is not very averse to such self-interested behavior that does not harm others.
Just like when he had few recordings, didn't he win the audience's favor with his pretentious tea ceremony?
You can't have double standards as a person.
"Shilla Hotel, thank you."
Lin Qingyuan opened the taxi door, sat in the back seat, took out his mobile phone and clicked on Kakao's friend list.
IU,Jnni,Jisoo,Lalisa,Rina,Ros,Sakura...
He has only added seven friends, all of whom are girls. If someone takes a screenshot of his friend list, he will even have to be featured on a hot search in many countries to gain a reputation.
At this moment, someone suddenly sent a message.
It was the enthusiastic little neon idol who helped her pay the bill and lent him money to take a taxi back to the hotel.
Sakura: [I just checked, it turns out Lin Sang you are the global spokesperson of League of Legends!]
【Um.】
Lin Qingyuan was confused, why did he ask this?
Sakura:【I play this game too!】
[What rank are you in?] Lin Qingyuan went straight to the point.
Sakura:【Silvr!】
Silvr...Lin Qingyuan fell into silence.
However, the fact that I didn’t find a power coach deserves praise.
[But Silvr is very powerful! Don’t underestimate Silvr players!] Miyawaki Sakura quickly added.
【I understand.】Lin Qingyuan was very perfunctory.
In Otto's words, silver is a rank in the late stage of cancer. It cannot go up or down.
Sakura: [Then can I play games with you, Lin-Sang? I’ve already fastened my seat belt.]
[I may not have much time.] This is really not just a random excuse. Lin Qingyuan rarely has time to play games, especially PC games that take more time.
Sakura:【Okay...】
Miyawaki Sakura stood in the street wilted.
The little cherry blossoms have just bloomed and seem to be about to wither.
However, Lin Qingyuan on the other side of the screen seemed to have new news, and a new message from Kakao was sent.
"Wait a minute, I'm not going back to the hotel, I'm going to another address."
He opened the map on his phone and showed it to the driver.
