You have already come, and you have asked for leave. You cannot come here in vain.
With this idea in mind, after finishing the trip to Yigao, Lin Zengxian proposed to go shopping around Quanzhou together, and the Liu sisters agreed with three hands.
Yoo Jimin raised two and Yoo Ji-eun raised one.
"Senior, do you plan to go back to Stockholm?"
While walking and chatting, after hearing Lin Zengxian’s planned schedule, Liu Zhien naturally went to guess the city where Karolinska was located.
"No, I plan to go to Kyoto in a while."
Although the weather was still gloomy, the rain had stopped. Walking side by side with Liu Zhien on a street with few pedestrians, and breathing in the earthy air after the rain, Lin Zengxian felt that the depression in his heart was relieved a little.
"Kyoto?"
Hearing an unexpected city name, Liu Ji-eun hesitated whether he should end the topic.
Liu Zhimin knew about Lin Zengxian and Hanyu Airi's past, but never told anyone, so Liu Zhien didn't know what the city of Kyoto meant to Lin Zengxian.
She just had an intuition and thought it was best not to say anything else.
"Well, I will go to Kyoto once. Before I leave, I will ask Professor Cui to take care of you."
Lin Zengxian took out his sunglasses and put them on the bridge of his nose, swaying his eyes from time to time.
He felt that his emotions were affected by the memories. In order to prevent this emotion from leaking out and damaging the mood of his companions, he chose to cover his eyes first.
The speaking voice is easy to adjust, and the expression is easy to adjust, but the eyes are the most difficult.
"Thank you, senior."
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Liu Zhien stopped asking any more questions.
Now that it has reached the point of "please ask Professor Cui to take care of you," Lin Zengxian's trip will definitely not be a one- or two-day affair.
Walking beside her sister, she could barely hear the conversation between the two people. Liu Zhimin couldn't help but take another look at Lin Zengxian, her eyebrows were drawn by worry, and her lines were no longer stretched.
Unlike Yoo Ji-eun, she knows "Kyoto".
After Hanyu Airi's death, she was not buried in Stockholm, but was sent back to her hometown and buried in a cemetery chosen by her family.
One person is alive, the other person is dead.
The living person stays in a place full of memories of two people. How can he come out and face the world gently again?
Lin Zengxian never mentioned it, and Liu Zhimin would never ask.
Only occasionally when she thought about it, she would feel that it was a little cruel to treat Lin Zengxian like this.
From Stockholm to Kyoto, the distance of more than 8,000 kilometers would make Lin Zengxian feel a bit cold and lonely.
"Oh? This optical shop..."
Looking at an optical shop across the street, Lin Zengxian took off his sunglasses and stared at the store door repeatedly before he was sure it was the name he was familiar with.
Yes, that guy mentioned it and it made an impression.
Digging through the memories of this year, Lin Zengxian found some fragments of conversations with Kim Taeyeon.
This is Jeonju, Kim Taeyeon’s hometown.
This optical shop with Kim Taeyeon's name on the door sign is her family's shop.
"Interested in buying a pair of glasses?"
Putting away his sunglasses, Lin Zengxian pointed to the other side of the street, already stepping forward with his feet to turn.
Now that I have met him, I must go and take a look, buy a pair of glasses, and get the good luck of "my friend's shop is booming".
"Glasses? Oh, okay."
The question came out first, and then he saw "Kim Taeyeon" on the door sign of the optical shop. Although he didn't know much about Lin Zengxian's friends, he also knew that Kim Taeyeon was Lin Zengxian's neighbor. Liu Zhien temporarily changed his words and followed Lin Zengxian.
Zeng Xian’s back.
And just when she was about to turn around and pull her sister back, she realized that her sister had quietly followed Lin Zengxian across the zebra crossing.
Unlike Seoul, where people come and go without stopping for a moment, the rhythm of the city below is obviously much slower. When the rain first stopped, there were very few pedestrians on the street, let alone in the optical shop.
"Welcome."
The amiable female voice, obviously older, sounded from far away.
"Hello."
Facing the older lady with a slight bow and saying hello, Lin Zengxian continued to look at the glasses on the counter.
He really planned to buy a pair of glasses and was choosing them carefully.
Of course, there is no comparison with brand optical shops. For Lin Zengxian, buying glasses here is equivalent to buying some local specialties, no matter how good the quality is, as a souvenir of the trip.
"What kind of glasses do the guests want to buy?"
Walking around behind the counter, the lady gently held the edge of the counter with both hands, patiently looking at Lin Zengxian who was making the selection, and the Liu sisters who were showing a lack of interest.
"Um...please let me take a look at this."
Pointing to a pair of thick-framed glasses on the counter, Lin Zengxian took another look at the only "clerk" in the store.
With such eyebrows, is she Kim Taeyeon’s mother?
I once heard Kim Taeyeon say that the optical shop in her hometown did not employ anyone, and her immediate family members were the ones running the shop.
And the outline of Kim Taeyeon can be seen in the eyebrows of the elderly man in front of me, so he should be almost inseparable.
"Please."
Taking out the glasses and handing them to Lin Zengxian with both hands, the elder looked at the man who was gesturing at the size of the glasses, and then at the women and girls who showed no interest in the glasses. She walked around quietly from behind the counter.
Come out and walk to the cashier.
There is a water dispenser there.
"Senior, Jimin and I will go to the store next door to wait for you."
Looking away from the water dispenser, Liu Zhien pulled her sister, greeted Lin Zengxian, and exited the store first.
Neither of them bought glasses, and they showed no interest in the photos of Kim Taeyeon everywhere in the store, so they might as well go away and stop making the old man busy.
"Guest, please drink some water. If there is anything else you like, I will get it for you."
When she turned around, she didn't see the Liu sisters. The lady put away the two extra paper cups, filled one cup with ice water, walked back to the counter quietly, handed it to the only customer buying glasses with both hands, and then
They rubbed each other together again, arching their bodies slightly, smiling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Thank you."
Bowing first, and then taking the paper cup with both hands, Lin Zengxian immediately took a sip of ice water, smiled gratefully, and felt emotions in his heart.
If we were still "inseparable" just now, then Lin Zengxian can now be sure that the person in front of him is Kim Taeyeon's mother.
Only a mother would do this for her daughter.
When fans enter the store, they just come for Kim Taeyeon. They take pictures with their mobile phones and don’t ask questions about glasses. In the end, buying a pair of glasses is like buying a peripheral.
He is not a fan of Kim Taeyeon. After entering the store, although he found photos of Kim Taeyeon everywhere, his eyes did not stay on the photos for a moment. He was just concentrating on choosing glasses.
If you are a fan, this lady will also be polite, but the focus will not be on her job in this store, but on things related to Kim Taeyeon, and she will be more relaxed.
If you open a few doors, you won't be as cramped as you are in front of you. You are obviously in your own store, but you are more nervous and tense than a strange customer.
As a parent, you always have a lot to worry about for your children.
The more guests like Lin Zengxian are not fans of their daughter, the more cautious and constrained their parents will be.
Their words, actions, and expressions will all become their daughter's image in society and in the eyes of the public. They must be more careful, more kind, more polite, and more thoughtful.
When there are many customers in the store, you can't take care of being so meticulous, but when there are few customers and time permits, you should naturally be able to be "meticulous" about each one.
As long as they are good to their daughter and helpful to their daughter, they won't care whether they are tired or tired.
Looking down at the pair of average-quality glasses in his hand, Lin Zengxian sighed softly.
He thought of his parents.
"Guest? Are you not satisfied with this one? I'll give you another one."
Lin Zengxian's sigh made the lady's tone a little "unsettled".
"No, this is very good, I will buy this."
Lin Zengxian handed over the glasses and tried his best to make his smile gentler.
