Shirley sat alone in a corner of the beach, staring at the sea under the setting sun in front of her in a daze. She drove for more than five hours on the nearly 400-kilometer road from Seoul to Busan.
When she arrived in Busan, she went directly to Haeundae, a place where she often ran alone when she was a child. This small world was the only haven that could soothe her young heart.
Shirley's parents are ordinary people. In addition to her two older brothers, there is also a younger brother. When she was a child, her parents had a bad relationship and often quarreled over trivial matters. Although the eldest brother was okay with Shirley, she always
I feel like she is the most ignored one in this family.
She joined the company as a trainee at the age of 11 and faced huge competitive pressure every day. So Shirley could only suppress her nature and work hard to be an obedient and sensible girl. Although she was indeed very successful, her long-term fear has made her lose her temper.
She was exhausted inside.
After debuting and becoming famous, the pressure on her was even greater, because she was still underage at the time, and her mother, who had divorced her father, took charge of all her income. Although Shirley made a lot of money, her mother still only gave her money every month.
Just some pocket money.
Even so, her mother was still not satisfied with the speed at which she was making money. Every time she talked to her, the word "money" was always used. She even scolded her in front of Shirley for not making as much money as Suzy, which made Xue Ji.
Li felt more and more desperate about her home.
Finally, when her mother was once again furious with her because she was worried that her income would decrease because of her relationship, Shirley decided that she could not continue like this, so she withdrew all her accounts and stopped letting her mother interfere in her life. This led to
A direct break between the two sides.
The sea was beautiful under the sunset, and the sea water gently lapped at the beach. At the same time, it seemed to be soothing Shirley's heart, making her gradually forget the deep-rooted pain caused by deformed family love.
"Xia Rong, do you think that figure looks like Sulli senior?" Zheng Eunji stood on the path beside the beach and looked curiously at the familiar figure in the distance. She was both from Busan and a member of a girl group. She was interested in Xue
Li is really familiar.
Apink didn’t have much schedule during this period, so Jung Eunji dragged her youngest member Oh Ha Young back to Busan for a vacation. The two of them had just gone to Haeundae’s pedestrian street to have a great meal. On the way back, Eunji happened to see the beach.
Shirley's lonely figure.
"Mo? No way, why is Senior Shirley here alone? I heard that they will return soon." Xia Rong was not sure that the figure was Shirley's.
"It should be her. I believe you can't get it wrong. Hey Yigu, we'll find out if we go and see it." After saying that, he graciously picked up Xia Rong and walked towards the direction of Shirley.

Chen Zhe indeed prepared a lot of things, including fried chicken, local pickled crabs and a lot of beer. The most important thing is that he actually brought a bottle of Kinmen sorghum wine. Chen Zhe is from Fujian Province and it is said that this wine is everywhere in their area.
All.
"Xiao Chen, we have known each other since the joint sea training in 2007. It has been seven years now, and you were still a loser at that time, haha..." Zhou Jing took a sip of sorghum wine and picked up the pickled crab while eating it.
While talking, he joked with Chen Zhe.
In fact, Chen Zhe and Zhou Jing are not from the same unit. Zhou Jing is from the Army Amphibious Reconnaissance Company, and Chen Zhe is from the Marine Corps Marine Brigade. That year they participated in a month-long joint sea training together, where they
The two of them got to know each other and became familiar with each other.
"Yeah, time flies so fast. Before I knew it, I stayed in Zhanjiang for seven years. When I came home, I almost forgot how to speak my hometown dialect." Chen Zhe felt sad when he thought about the past.
, he clinked glasses with Zhou Jing, drank the sorghum wine in one gulp, and then said,
"Squad leader, I remember that your squad vice-president was from Langzhong, Shu Province. By the way, his surname was Xu. How is he doing now, squad leader Xu?"
"You said Xu Yu, he was admitted to the military academy. He just graduated last year and is now a serious deputy company commander." Zhou Jing replied with a smile.
"So awesome, but if my old man hadn't refused to let me take the military academy entrance examination, I probably wouldn't be worse than Squad Leader Xu now."
At this time, a noisy sound came from the beach not far from Zhou Jing and the others. When he heard it, he knew that someone was drunk and going crazy. Zhou Jing turned around and took a look and found that the group of people were actually lighting up on the beach.
The fire.
Taking advantage of the firelight, Zhou Jing could clearly see the identities of those people. The U.S. military stationed in Korea and even the military branch recognized them because their short-sleeved T-shirts had several large English letters "Marine" printed on their chests.
"Let's see what kind of virtues your colleagues have." Zhou Jing drank the sorghum wine in his glass and curled his lips and said to Chen Zhe.
"Ah, who the hell are we traveling with them? We are serious people's soldiers of the People's Navy, not hooligans." Chen Zhe became angry when he saw those American soldiers dancing around like crazy.
Zhou Jing was a little confused at first, because he knew that the US military in Korea had frequently sexually assaulted women under the influence of alcohol. Due to pressure from public opinion, the US military in Korea command ordered these American soldiers not to leave the military camp at night.
But he turned around and thought about it. Today seems to be July 4th, the Independence Day of the United States. That's not surprising. It is estimated that the superiors of these American soldiers also used an excuse to let them come out to show off.
"Forget it, squad leader, don't worry about those Shabis. Let's drink ours. By the way, I remembered a person, Xiao Zhang, who was always next to you back then. He was the fair-looking one. How is he now?
How are you? You should have retired from the army." Chen Zhe grabbed the fried chicken and took a vicious bite before saying.
Zhou Jing just picked up the wine glass and heard Chen Zhe mention the name. The man froze there without making a sound for a long time. Chen Zhe turned to look at Zhou Jing in confusion, but was shocked to see Zhou Jing slowing down the wine in his hand.
Sprinkled slowly on the beach.
"No...no way, squad leader, you said Xiao Zhang...sacrificed?"
Zhou Jing didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking silently.
"No, when did this happen? I'm sorry, monitor. If I can't tell you, I won't ask." Chen Zhe wanted to ask what happened, but he immediately changed his tune when he remembered the confidentiality regulations.
"It's okay, no need to keep it secret, I was in Shu Province in 2008." Zhou Jing took a deep breath of cigarette and said slowly with a slightly hoarse voice.
Chen Zhe understood immediately. He also picked up the wine glass and poured a full glass of wine, and then slowly poured it on the beach like Zhou Jing before.
The two of them were silent for a while, and a sad emotion emerged between them. This emotion made Zhou Jing's chest feel very tight. He looked at the dark sea in the distance and didn't know.
What's going on in my mind.
The noise of the American soldiers in the distance seemed to have quieted down, but not long after, a harsh soprano suddenly broke the silence of the moment.
"What are you going to do? Get out of my way."
Along with this shout in Korean, the voices of the American soldiers gradually became louder, with some whistles mixed in from time to time.
Zhou Jing and Chen Zhe looked at each other, and they both saw the raging anger in each other's eyes. It was so damned that such a thing could happen to them.
"Qianli Niang..."
"CNMD"
Chen Zhe and Zhou Jing jumped up from the beach at the same time and ran towards the direction where the shouts came from.
