[I just felt a little surprised, I didn’t expect you to come to the TV station to watch us play songs.]
On the phone screen, in the "LINE" conversation initiated by Xu Xian, Lin took a long time before a new reply from Xu Xian popped up in the message bar.
According to Lin Zengxian's understanding, Xu Xian doesn't seem to want him to see her on the singing stage.
However, at this time, Lin Zengxian could not see the pop-up prompt of this message.
Because Kim Taeyeon is occupying the communication on Lin Zengxian’s phone.
"Does it look good?"
Kim Taeyeon can feel the fatigue caused by physical exertion, but her voice still maintains an upward tone.
"Well, it's a very handsome stage."
Wearing Bluetooth headphones in his ears, Lin Zengxian, who had already left the TV station, turned the steering wheel and drove his sports car to the place where he had made an appointment with Liu Zhimin to pick her up and go home.
Why should I, a foreigner with a foreign surname, attend the dinner party held by the Liu family and the Pei family?
Even Feng Lu, who has a strong personality, gave up her original plan after her son persisted for a few words.
Mother and son have been separated for more than ten years, and the relationship is not easy to repair.
"Huh? Really?"
The happy atmosphere spread quickly due to Kim Taeyeon's protracted tone, and Lin Zengxian also showed a smile.
Although I have always believed that people in the entertainment industry are full of scheming and not suitable for deep friendship, and I still maintain this view now, Lin Zengxian, as an outsider with no interests in the industry, has always been sincere to Kim Taeyeon from the beginning of their acquaintance.
As we get along, the wariness between each other has weakened a lot.
Therefore, just as Lin Zengxian saw it now, he felt as if he had seen the "little girl" in Kim Taeyeon's heart.
As for the "little boy" in his heart, after the death of Airi Hanyu, he was not ready for anyone to see him yet.
"You're really handsome, but your clothes are a bit... I still think you look good the way you usually look."
After staring at the car navigation interface, Lin Zengxian stretched his neck and looked left and right. After confirming the direction, he stepped on the accelerator.
He focused most of his attention on finding the way, and his conversation with Kim Taeyeon was all about saying whatever came to mind.
At this time, he had not realized how relaxed he was.
However, Kim Taeyeon realized it.
If it were Lin Zengxian a few months ago, he would definitely pick up some nice words and continue to say them.
Similar to "very handsome", he is obedient and continues to spend extra but necessary energy to maintain the superficial atmosphere of "hello, me, hello, everyone".
Therefore, the phrase "good-looking" that Lin Zengxian just said means that this person really thinks it is good-looking.
Especially on that night at Bethels Beach, when he was supporting Kim Taeyeon on her skateboard, as the sea breeze blew by, it was as if he was holding a ball of soft dandelions in his hands.
For about five or six seconds, the call fell into a brief silence.
There was no response from Kim Taeyeon.
However, Lin Zengxian did not feel confused or ask questions.
Both sides kept quiet at the same time with a tacit understanding.
"What about?"
When she spoke again, although the atmosphere was still relaxed, the rising and prolonged ending had been canceled by Kim Taeyeon.
The current voice seems to have contained half of the energy to speak, held back its breath, and slowly enunciated the words, steadily and clearly.
"Ah? I don't know how to match clothes. What looks good is what looks good. It's a feeling that makes no sense."
Still watching the road, Lin Zengxian's attention was still not on the conversation with Kim Taeyeon.
The place Liu Zhimin was talking about seems to be in a small alley. For a foreigner like Lin Zengxian, even relying on navigation is a little difficult.
Sometimes, you can’t explain why, but it’s the truest feeling. Kim Taeyeon understands this truth.
As a result, the conversation between the two fell into silence again.
"I'm dizzy...This place is so hard to find."
Looking at the numerous buildings outside the car window, Lin Zengxian muttered something in Chinese to himself, and Lin Zengxian already had a sad face.
Did this broken navigation not update the map?
Kim Taeyeon heard this sentence and did not understand it, but she intuitively felt that this sentence was not meant for her.
She has no intention of changing the topic, nor does she have any intention of breaking the current atmosphere.
"The clothes for singing songs are decided by the company. We will wear whatever clothes the company prepares, but I still accepted your words of 'handsome'."
After going full circle, Kim Taeyeon answered the question Lin Zengxian just asked.
Use that lazy, nonchalant tone.
"I know, this is your workplace. To make money, of course you have to listen to the company. Otherwise, how will you get paid? You are really handsome. Take it. Take it."
After reading the navigation again, he found that it still maintained the original direction. Lin Zengxian touched his chin and was already planning to pull the car over, get out of the car and take a walk.
"However, I won't have such clothes when I'm solo. All the looks for my solo are designed by Unnie, including Da Ge."
The change of tone was like a fall out, Kim Taeyeon's tone rose again, and she seemed to be eager to give it a try.
"I know, if I don't go to work on the day of your solo debut, I will go to watch it live."
After finding a good place to park the car, Lin Zengxian unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car and walk over.
"Are you coming? But, I don't seem to be able to invite you to my waiting room. It will become a big event and difficult to handle."
In the second half of the sentence, her tone gradually slowed down, and you could hear a little regret in Kim Taeyeon's voice.
However, this kind of regret is not low, but wrapped in a smile, as if watching with interest somersaulting awkwardly in the palm of your hand.
"Of course there's no need. It'll be the same as today. I'll just watch it off the stage."
After getting off the car, he needed to use his mobile phone for navigation, so Lin Zengxian did not rush to open the car door, but relaxed his sitting position and continued chatting with Kim Taeyeon. Anyway, there was still a while before the agreed time with Yoo Jimin.
"No, I will definitely not arrange it like today. I will prepare something special for you."
When she said the second half of the sentence, Kim Taeyeon even yawned.
"Can you get off work?"
Lin Zengxian leaned his elbow on the edge of the car window and also yawned.
"We have to wait until the evening, and there will be a final score to determine who will win today's trophy, so we can't leave yet."
I don’t know why, but when Kim Taeyeon spoke to the end, her voice became softer and softer, and her speaking speed became a little faster.
"Do you have something to do? Just be busy and pay attention to rest."
Before Kim Taeyeon explained, Lin Zengxian judged that Kim Taeyeon might have something to do.
"Okay."
Kim Taeyeon did not explain, but gave a brief and clear response, and the call ended immediately.
[Did Taeyeon unnie bring you to the TV station today?]
On the screen of Lin Zengxian's mobile phone was another unread new message sent by Xu Xian ten seconds ago.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
Before he could type a reply, Lin Zengxian's car window was lightly knocked on.
He looked out the window and saw Liu Jimin smiling and waving to the inside of the car.
Lin Zengxian put his cell phone on the passenger seat, opened the door and walked out.
"Why are you here?"
"I guess you couldn't find a location, so I came to find you."
