Dusk is approaching, and there is a little lonely shadow in the distant sky from time to time, and I don't know whether the tired bird is returning to the nest or embarking on a new path.

Han Yu blended in the slightly crowded crowd and walked out of Kyunghee Palace.

Most of the people around him were happily discussing the ceremony that had just ended, and he looked down at the gift box he was carrying, smiled slightly, and walked in the direction of going out.

Of course, he didn't notice the other two figures who walked out of Qingxi Palace at the same time as him.

"If I'm gone, if I'm close......"

In the crowd, the petite figure was smiling and whispering something to his companion, but suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

It's a pity that the crowd is surging, and among the strangers, she can't see the tall figure that attracts her.

"Taeyeon, what's wrong?"

Tiffany's whispered question came in her ear.

Kim Taeyeon pursed her lips, turned back thoughtfully, and smiled at her friend, "I just heard "If". ”

"Huh, really?" Tiffany blinked, her tone confused, "I didn't hear that." ”

"But I just really heard it, it seems to be whose phone is ringing?"

"Well, let's take it as if there is. So what?"

Tiffany reached out and grabbed Kim Taeyeon's arm and said disapprehantly, "Even after all these years, your "What If" is still a classic." What's wrong with someone using it as a ringtone? Maybe they're still your fans. ”

"It's our fan!" Kim corrected.

"I mean, aren't our fans the same as yours?

"Of course there's a difference. My fandom means liking only me, and if it's our fan, it's liking all of us. Kim Tae-yeon explained.

Hearing this, Tiffany winked at her again, and suddenly chuckled: "But, when you say this, it seems that people are talking about it very carefully......"

Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well, "Really?"

"Hmm!" Tiffany smiled and nodded solemnly, "I said people like you, you have to say that he still likes all of us, and it would be funniest if people took off their fans then." ”

"Impossible!"

Kim Taeyeon declared very domineeringly: "As long as you become my person, you will never be able to escape from my palm!"

Tiffany looked at her amusedly, "What if he was snatched away by another artist?"

"What's the big deal, I don't care how many artists he likes, as long as he likes me all the time. ”

Kim Taeyeon and her friend glanced at each other and said seriously, "This is my principle of life." ”

As she spoke, she smiled nervously, raised her hand, and shook the newly purchased jade bracelet on Tiffany's wrist, the smooth and clear surface slightly refracting the dark green crystal luster.

……

"Leo Jung!"

A familiar roar came from the phone.

This time, Han Yu stretched out his hand very experiencedly, and waited until it was estimated that the girl was almost done venting before putting the phone back to his ear.

"You call me dozens of international calls every day, it seems that after becoming an artist, you have really become a little rich woman, Zheng Xiujing. ”

While talking on the phone, he sat in the taxi with a bag on his hand, and Han Yu had a gentle smile on his face when he was talking.

There was a distinct grinding sound on the other end of the phone, and I don't know if I did it on purpose for myself, or if I was really angry about it.

Before Han Yu could say something funny, Zheng Xiujing spoke again: "Come to my house......"

"Huh?" he froze.

"Come to my house!" the female voice on the other end of the line raised a little, "now, immediately, immediately!"

Han Yu blinked at his phone, "How am I going to get to your house?"

"I don't care! I don't care if you go to buy a plane ticket right away, or fly over like Superman, in short, I must see you today!" Zheng Xiujing said this, her tone was a little inexplicably aggrieved, as if she was the one who was forced.

Han Yu took the phone in front of his eyes and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Ah, do you know that the time difference between New York and Seoul is twelve hours? Do you know what time it is in New York now? Not to mention whether I can buy a plane ticket, how can it take ten hours to fly from New York to Seoul, how can I appear in front of you today?"

"I don't care! I don't care! I tell you, Leo Jung, if you really don't come to my coming-of-age ceremony today, I'm going to make you regret it! You know I know where your house in Seoul is, right? Do you want me to go to your house and mess things up?"

Silently hooking the corners of his mouth, Han Yu restrained his smile and deliberately said in a helpless tone: "Ah, don't play with children's tempers." ”

"I'm going to play a child's temper!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiujing on the other end of the phone was confident.

"Don't you remember what my doll mother said? A girl can always be a child in front of certain people. ”

Han Yu immediately said: "If I'm not mistaken, my aunt was talking about her husband and her own family at that time, which one am I?"

"Family, of course. Zheng Xiujing replied without hesitation, then paused, and asked, "Otherwise, do you want to be a husband?" ”

I didn't even know what to say about this girl.

Han Yu opened his mouth slightly, and then burst into laughter.

As for the girl's supplementary remarks in the second half, he didn't pay attention to it at all, just regarded it as a joke.

"If you're going to have a coming-of-age party, you can have fun with your friends. ”

Before the surprise was revealed, Han Yu cleared his throat slightly, then took his mobile phone and pretended to be serious: "I have an important job at night, you can't let me leave my work alone, right?"

As soon as he heard this, the other end of the phone immediately fell silent.

Sometimes willfulness is willful, but when she needs to be sensible, the girl named Zheng Xiujing is more sensible than anyone else.

"Oh......"

In the end, all the strong expectations only turned into a frustrated low response.

Zheng Xiujing replied sullenly on the other end of the phone: "I know...... If you really can't come, forget it. ”

Han Yu's eyelids drooped, and he said softly, "I'll send the gift to you." ”

"No need...... You didn't come, what kind of gifts do you give? The girl's voice was still sulking.

"Trust me, you'll love this gift. ”

After saying that, without waiting for Zheng Xiujing to say anything more, he hung up the phone first.

Smiling and putting away his phone, he sat on the seat of the car and turned his head to look at the night scene outside the car window, and then remembered something, and couldn't help but look back and look down at the bag in his hand.

This bracelet that he fancied was naturally not a gift.

As the stall owner's grandmother said, if he can't give it away, he plans to keep it in his own hands.

Although, the reason why he bought such a bracelet on a whim was also because he wanted to give a gift.

"It's your birthday soon, right?"

Han Yu muttered to himself, "I originally wanted to give a gift even though I won't go back this year." But now it seems that the time is not yet ......"

He still remembers that year, a man saved up money and gave him a bracelet.

This gift should have been returned sooner, but he never found a chance.

"It's okay......"

Han Yu's fingers unconsciously tapped the gift box through the bag, "I will always come back to you, one day." ”

His voice was very soft, but every word he spit out was extremely firm, as if he wanted to make this promise that no one heard in his heart and never forget it.

……

The next steps are simpler.

Han Yu took a taxi back home first, he didn't want to go back to change clothes or anything, but he had an extra thing in his hand, so he had to put it home first.

Otherwise, if a sharp-eyed girl sees it, she will definitely reach out to him and ask for it.

After that, Han Yu went out again and took a taxi to a villa residential area in Cheongdam-dong.

The property that Zheng's parents bought for the two sisters is located here.

Originally, outsiders were not allowed to enter the community if they were not led, but fortunately, Han Yu's name was registered in the visitor list by Zheng's mother early in the morning, so he easily passed through the security office at the gate.

At night, walking all the way down the quiet boulevard, Han Yu kept thinking about what he should say to the girl when he rang the doorbell.

However, just as he was taking care of himself, a hesitant familiar voice came into his ears without warning.

“L…… Leo？”

He was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a very familiar figure not far away standing under the street lamp, looking at himself with his mouth open, his face full of astonishment.

But in the next moment, the stunned look on his face turned into a very cute "fierce" expression.

"Yike...... Come over to me!"

The girl rushed straight over, stood on tiptoe and held his cheeks with both hands, forcing him to bend down in a stunned state, and staring straight at him with bright eyes, undisguised anger and surprise surging in his eyes.

Do you want to work? People are still in New York?

The moment she saw someone, Zheng Xiujing completely reacted!

"You, didn't you say that there is very, very important work to be done? I can't even take care of it?" Gritting her teeth, Zheng Xiujing sneered.

"Hmm...... Ahem, yes. ”

Han Yu was grabbed by the head, so he had to maintain this weird posture, bending over and smiling bitterly at the girl: "The important work I said is...... I'm here to give you a gift. ”

"Do you think I'll let you go if you say that?" Zheng Xiujing still sneered unchanged.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Han Yu is also very single.

"Compensate me. ”

"What?"

"I want you to compensate me. ”

"Well, how do you want me to compensate you?"

"Take me to elope!"

In an instant, Han Yu blinked, and the beautiful little face in front of him also blinked with him.

The atmosphere fell into a mysterious silence for a moment.
