The sky gradually fell into the dreamland of night, gently wiping away the afterglow of the setting sun, and the winking clouds ran away one after another, leaving the speckled starlight to the world.
"Is it delicious?"
Drinking a can of "Itoen" brand ready-to-drink tea, Lin Zengxian leaned back relaxedly on the chair, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and let the evening wind play around his collar, enjoying
A stress-free time.
“Delicious.”
She refused to be entertained by high-end restaurants, but she accepted sitting on a bench on the roadside eating cheap and large amounts of cream ice cream. Liu Zhimin held the ice cream box and sat next to Lin Zengxian, working on the dessert.
"If you can eat like this now, when you become a trainee in the future, won't you be able to eat these things easily?"
Lin Zengxian took out a neat tissue from his pocket and handed it to Liu Zhimin, then watched her take the tissue and wipe her mouth carefully, and finally asked a question.
"I...should, have to manage it."
When she saw Lin Zengxian handing over a tissue, Liu Zhimin guessed that this person might have something to say, but she didn't expect that he would say something like this, which already confirmed that she would become a trainee.
"It's really hard work."
After finishing his words, Lin Zengxian just drank his drink, his Adam's apple twitching, and said nothing more.
After scooping another scoop of ice cream and putting it into his mouth, Liu Zhimin leaned back on his seat and turned his gaze to a very small extent, trying to observe Lin Zengxian who fell into silence.
Turn a little, you can't see...
Don't, don't, don't, you will be discovered if you repost too much...
Just turn a little so you can't see anything...
Just turn a little bit...
After much tossing in her mind, she finally adjusted her vision.
Lin Zengxian was not looking at her at all, he was just drinking tea leisurely and looking at the river.
So? This is the end?
Why don’t you say a few words to me about that guy Yoo Ji-eun?
When Lin Zengxian didn't speak, she was mentally prepared to "resist" resolutely and never give in.
As a result, Lin Zengxian really stopped talking. Instead, she felt as if she had used too much force and her waist had slipped.
"Brother, do you agree with me, a trainee?"
After all, he is a fifteen-year-old child. Liu Zhimin chewed his spoon and thought for a long time, and finally chose to say something that he thought would not expose his intention of "being angry with his sister".
"I agree, why don't you agree?"
It was completely impossible to tell that Lin Zengxian wanted to persuade. From Liu Zhimin's point of view, this person's tone was as relaxed as if Xu Youli was talking to her.
"I..."
The spoon tilted and he blinked, Liu Zhimin didn't know what to say.
"If you want to be rich, don't... If you become a big star in the future, don't forget to give me your autograph."
Stopping the first half of the sentence that Liu Zhimin didn't understand, Lin Zengxian changed his words temporarily, but there was still no persuasion that Liu Zhimin had been wary of.
"Actually, I didn't think about it well."
I don't know whether it was because he had been on guard for too long and was exhausted, or because he felt that it was boring to be childish in front of Lin Zengxian. Liu Zhimin's shoulders relaxed, he hugged the ice cream box, looked down at his toes, and his voice became deeper. "I want to be a star, I like the feeling of the stage, but..."
However, at this time, Liu Zhimin felt that she had no confidence in her heart.
I can’t tell you the specific reason, it’s like walking on the edge of a cliff and feeling like I’ll miss the mark at any time.
"Brother, if it were you, what would you do?"
Putting aside those meaningless "children's wariness of adults" just now, Liu Zhimin turned to look at Lin Zengxian's side face, really wanting to get some answers.
"I don't know trainees well, so I can't judge how good or bad it is to do this, but I want to ask you, if you don't do this in the future, will you feel that a part of your life is missing?" Still looking at the river, Lin Zengxian's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and there was a bit more nostalgia that Liu Zhimin could not understand at this time.
"Yes."
I couldn’t understand it completely, but I could understand 70% of it. Yoo Jimin’s answer was spoken immediately without hesitation.
"Two questions, if you make your debut in the end, can you bear a life that is not a normal person? If you don't make your debut in the end, can you return to a normal life?"
Turning to look at Liu Zhimin, Lin Zengxian saw the confusion in the little girl's eyes.
She doesn't know how to answer now.
"You don't have to tell me the answer. You can think about it slowly."
Lin Zengxian really didn't want to listen to her answer.
You'll fall down and fall down, that's for sure.
The difference lies in whether you continue to move forward after falling to pieces, or choose to look back, or never stand up again.
As for the last point, Lin Zengxian is not worried. With the tutoring and strength of the Liu family, she will not be unable to stand up. Even if there are any thorny difficulties, Feng Lu and Pei Dongcan will not stand idly by.
This is her luck. If she fails, there is still a way out.
"But after you get the answer, you must tell your family sincerely."
After raising his hand and pausing for a moment, Lin Zengxian finally placed his palm on the top of Liu Zhimin's head and patted it gently.
"Your sister has been telling me that Jimin has grown up and is usually very sensible. So, now that you have grown up, you should think more about the people around you. I know you should do this when getting along with your classmates at school.
Yes, but you should do the same when facing your family."
It's natural to get along day and night, so it's easy to ignore.
"You are indeed deciding your own future, but you are a member of your family. Whether your future is good or bad will affect every member of your family. Every member of your family loves you. If
If you do anything bad, they will be sad."
Withdrawing his hand, Lin Zengxian also withdrew his gaze and looked at the river again.
"I didn't want to lie to my sister..."
With his head sullen, Liu Zhimin took a deep breath, and the unconvincing grievance just now disappeared from her voice.
"You care about the eyes of your classmates and friends. Your sister doesn't understand this. As a relative who is older than you, she can think about it more in the future. But if you don't tell her that you care, you can't blame her for not understanding you. Sincerely,
It's mutual. Your sister helped you say good things in front of Uncle Liu, but you didn't even tell your sister what you were thinking."
Putting the jar in his hand on the bench, Lin Zengxian took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the night view of the river.
Ever since Airi Hanyu left, he would often take pictures of the scenery he saw, and then send them to the number that no one was using but always had enough phone bills.
"I envy you."
Lin Zengxian's words made Liu Zhimin raise his head, with an uplifting tone and no low emotional tone.
"Envy? Me?"
Inspired by Lin Zengxian's tone, Liu Zhimin pulled himself out of his low mood.
"I went abroad to study when I was younger than you. I have been taking care of myself for more than ten years. I also really want to have family around me who can talk about me like your sister said about you."
She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed a bit. From a perspective that Liu Zhimin couldn't notice, the cell phone on which the photo had just been taken was rotated in Lin Zengxian's hand, and then was gently held.
Looking at Lin Zengxian's smile and being silent for a long time, Liu Zhimin lowered his head and bit his lip.
"Cherish it."
The man's warm palms once again covered the girl's head, as if the evening wind had been rubbed into the afternoon sunshine.
"Hmm."
The girl nodded slowly.
"Xu Youli is your good friend, you trust her, right?"
The man's palm gently patted the girl's head.
"Hmm."
The girl nodded immediately.
"Ryu Ji-eun is your sister, you believe her, right?"
The man's palm gently rubbed the girl's head.
"Hmm!"
The girl nodded vigorously.
"Let's go and pick up your sister."
The man's palms left the girl's head.
The girl raised her head and saw the man's back.
Tall and slender, but not thin at all.
"Brother Lin!"
The girl ran and caught up with the man's back.
Her smile is grateful.
She ran to the man and took his arm.
Her smile is playful.
Then, she pulled the man and continued to run forward.
Her smile has a sound.
Under the evening wind and the night view of the river, I seemed to run a little faster than time.
