"The word 'immortal' actually has two meanings, one is spiritual, i.e., exists in people's memories, which is difficult to achieve, and the other is physical, which is impossible to achieve. And in this world, there is a group of greedy people, their name is 'SONE', and they are trying to make those nine people ...... Implement both. ”

――――――――――

Year 2004.

Summer, the hottest season of the year, is full of chirping cicadas and sunlight casting dappled shadows on the ground through the layers of foliage.

At the same time, the bright sunlight also cast on the hanji pasted between the window shelves, and the thin paper obviously failed to block the light excellently, so a light light seeped into one of the rooms of this huge hanok, slightly reflecting someone's face......

"Hmm......"

Xu was so dazzling that the gentle light shining on her eyelids made her efforts to open her eyelids that seemed to be glued together, and subconsciously turned over and picked up the clock she had placed next to her pillow last night, and glanced at it with her eyes.

So, the next second-

"Ah!!h

A loud decibel scream disturbed all the tranquility of the summer morning......

"Poof!"

With a shake of his hand, the fried rice cake he had just picked up fell directly into the kimchi soup in front of him, his serious and calm face showed a little helplessness, he put down the stainless steel chopsticks in his hand, turned his head and shouted to the back room: "Child, mother, what's wrong with this girl?"

"Who knows, hey Xiuzhen, go and take a look. ”

A mature female voice came from inside the back room.

"It's okay. ”

Unconcernedly, she stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of the dish on the table, she tasted it elegantly, and then smiled at her father, who was kneeling opposite, showed a beautiful smile, and said, "Anyway, we'll know in a while." ”

The voice fell, sure enough. A few people listened to a series of muffled sounds coming from the next room, accompanied by the sound of knocking down or something, and a few seconds later, the door on their right side was suddenly slammed. was pulled apart.

Sunlight pours lazily into this large living room through the wide open doors in front and back, and the bright feeling seems to bring all the beauty of summer, and the furnishings in the living room follow the tradition of hanok, with wooden floors and antique décor. In the center is a traditional Korean rice bed, which is filled with traditional Korean food served in a copper bowl, kimchi, white rice, miso soup, sauces, etc., and a layer of delicately woven soft cloth is spread under the table.

In the whole living room, maybe only the TV in the corner has a bit of a modern atmosphere, even if it is the people in the room, they are all with a bit of traditional style.

At this time, there were two people, a man and a woman, at the dining table in the middle of the room. The man is about forty years old, his hair is meticulously combed, and he has a pair of large and bright eyes that are different from the traditional face of Korean men, and his face is square, with a bit of fortitude, and he is also wearing a dark blue traditional hanbok, which looks quite atmospheric and stable.

As for the woman who was called Xiuzhen, she was almost twenty years old, with moth eyebrows and a nose, red lips and bright teeth. Quite beautiful, a pair of slightly narrowed double eyelids, big eyes habitually with a little charming gentleness, a long hair carefully coiled up, revealing a slender and white neck. She is also wearing a hanbok, with a touch of pink and prints, which forms a rather eye-catching contrast with the man in front of her, setting off a generous beauty.

Originally, the two sat opposite each other, and they both knelt in the traditional manner. The demeanor is as if it blends in with the traditional style around it, but it ...... There was an "out of place" guy at the scene.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Like a boy, he was panting heavily, and he was wearing a white lace nightdress, but I don't know what kind of tossing it had been, the nightdress was wrinkled everywhere, and there was a corner of the clothes in the lower right that turned up, and what made the man look at the corner of his eyes couldn't help but twitch was ...... The way this girl rushed in.

The bright sunlight poured into the house, and naturally her appearance was clearly illuminated.

It's only about thirteen or fourteen years old, compared to the wide lips and the thin nose bridge, the square face shape is a little big, and a pair of big eyes inherited by the family are watery, black and white, not at all as generous and beautiful as my sister, but it's also a little cute of a little girl, it's just ...... At this time, her appearance is really ......

The hair was unusually scattered, and a few colored hairpins fell out of their original fixed positions, dragging a tugs of hair down her cheeks, which was nothing, the key was what she was doing now.

"Whew, Wow......"

"Tick, tick, tick......"

There was foaming at the mouth of the mouth, one hand was actually holding a toothbrush and hurriedly brushing her teeth, the water kept dripping, not to mention wetting the nightdress, and dripping on the floor that had just been scrubbed this morning, and she also stretched out a hand to the back of her head and grabbed her long hair, tilting her head and holding it hard, trying to save her hairstyle that had already collapsed......

"Wow-"

"Ah, Cui Xiuying, you crazy girl, what are you doing early in the morning?"

At this time, the ground door on the left side was opened, and a woman who was also about forty years old walked out of the back room with a stack of folded clothes, glaring at the girl named Cui Xiuying with an angry face.

"Whew......! Doll Mom...... Clothing...... Clothes ......"

As soon as she saw her mother come out, Cui Xiuying suddenly opened her big eyes wider, brushed her teeth, let go of her hand holding her hair, and waved to her mother vigorously, shouting something indistinctly.

"What's that!Eh~ Really, this girl, tsk......"

Shaking her head helplessly, Cui's mother took a cup from the side to the faucet in the yard and took some water and walked over to Cui Xiuying.

"Uh......h Gollum...... Poof-"

"Whoa. ”

The sound of spitting water on the courtyard floor made the corners of the man's eyes twitch again, and his face, which had always been very serious when he was in the company, couldn't help but show a little helplessness, Cui Xiuzhen, who was sitting opposite, looked at his father's appearance, and suddenly understood his thoughts, and smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then stood up. Walking up to the Qianying who was standing in front of the courtyard and rinsing her mouth and panting slightly, he gently stretched out his hand to help her tidy up her messy hair, and with a funny look on her face, he asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it the first day of summer vacation? Dad and I are still thinking about letting you sleep a little more today." You ...... in such a hurry."

"Ernie, I'm sorry, I'll talk about it when I come back, I love you!

The gentle voice of her sister seemed to wake up Cui Xiuying's still somewhat drowsy head, and she hurriedly opened her eyes. Wake herself up, and then she waved her hand at her sister beside her in a rather hurried tone, and turned her head to shout at her mother not far away.

“……”

This little sister of mine suddenly interrupted her words, and suddenly turned her head and shouted at her mother in a loud voice, even Cui Xiuzhen, who has always been steady, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, looking at Cui Xiuying's eyes with a little interest, and still gently helping her arrange her hair in her hands, but her mouth sounded like a casual statement: "It seems to be a very important thing, the summer vacation has arrived, but according to your girl's personality." If you have a date with your loved ones, you shouldn't be in such a hurry, yesterday ...... Ah~ Didn't you ask me to make a bento for you yesterday?"

"Oh yes!"

Sister's words seemed to remind Cui Xiuying all of a sudden, she first stopped the action in her hand that was about to change clothes, quickly turned her head to look at Cui Xiuzhen, and hurriedly said: "Ernie, hurry up~! Hurry up and give it to me~! It's too late~!"

"Eh~!, you girl!"

"Ahh

Cui's mother, who was on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the girl angrily, and suddenly Cui Xiuying stood in place and stomped her feet, and stared at her mother with a dissatisfied and puzzled face.

"Alas...... Really, Yoon-jin. Bring her in. ”

Raising her hand and holding her forehead with a headache, Cui's mother waved her hand in disgust and said a word to Cui Xiuzhen.

"Hey~ What's the matter! I don't have time to go back to my room now!"

At this time, Cui Xiuying couldn't help but shout again.

"Oh, really!"

When Cui's mother heard this, she couldn't suppress the temper in her heart, and her eyes widened slightly. In front of the courtyard, the mother and daughter glared at each other, and at first glance, they looked surprisingly similar.

However, this situation only lasted for a few seconds, and the next sentence of the mother made the little girl retreat.

"Ahh I think you'd better not go out today!"

As soon as these words came out, the little face, which was still very immature, suddenly froze, Cui Xiuying glanced at her mother who was glaring angrily in front of her, secretly pursed her lips, and answered in a low voice.

"Oh......"

……

Ten minutes later.

"Wow-"

Cui's father and Cui's mother, who were sitting in the living room drinking tea, turned their heads to look at it, and then nodded slightly.

The golden sunlight shone in from the outside and reflected on Cui Xiuying's body.

A pink long skirt hangs down to the ankles, although he is young, but after all, he has the experience of debuting, coupled with his natural genes, his body is surprisingly prominent, his face is cleaned up, he puts on some light makeup, and with the hair that was sorted out by his sister, it doesn't look like a junior high school at all, compared to the previous sloppy image, it is obviously countless times more dignified than a lady.

It's just that, in the next moment, this dignity is directly destroyed......

It seemed that she couldn't get used to wearing a skirt, Cui Xiuying frowned slightly, stretched out her hands to pull her skirt and looked down at her feet, and then, she seemed to remember something, blinked her eyes, just pulled her skirt and turned her head violently to the back room and shouted rudely: "Ernie! hurry up~! bento~!"

While talking, he also pulled his skirt and stomped his feet in place, seeing that Cui's father and Cui's mother next to him had black lines on their faces, they watched the two smooth feet stomp on the floor in a particularly unfigurative way......

"Alright, alright, here we come. ”

After a while, I heard Cui Xiuzhen's words that seemed to be a little helpless coming out of the back room, and then I watched her walk out with a packaged lunch in one hand, and handed it to Cui Xiuying, who was yelling, with a funny expression.

"Thank you Ernie~!Love you~!"

Hurriedly took the bento in her sister's hand, Cui Xiuying said quite insincerely, and then put all her attention on the bento in front of her, using both hands, and unwrapped the dinner cloth wrapped outside quite quickly. The black bento box inside was revealed, and when I opened it, a rich aroma came to my face.

"Wow~Daihatsu~"

In an instant, Cui Xiuying's eyes lit up on the ground. But in an instant, she seemed to remember something again, hurriedly looked at the dishes in the lunch box, turned her head to her sister and hurriedly asked, "Ernie, where is the yam juice?!"

"Yam juice?"

Choi so-jin blinked. There seemed to be a puzzled expression on the beautiful face.

"That's right~!Yam juice Yam juice, what about the yam juice I specially gave to you yesterday??"

"Ah~ By the way, you said, but, there is no store near our house that sells yams......"

"Ah...... Woo~"

All of a sudden, Cui Xiuying was like an eggplant beaten by frost, her little face was depressed, her big watery eyes were closed in pain, and she muttered to herself: "It's over~ His favorite is yam juice...... I found out after a long time of inquiry...... What should I do now~!Without yam juice, it will definitely fail......"

"Him?"

For a moment, it was as if I understood something. With a sly smile on her elegant and beautiful face, Cui Xiuzhen looked at her sister in front of her playfully, and took out her other hand behind her back, carrying a thermos pot on her slender fingers.

"Ahh......h Ernie you ......"

Suddenly, Cui Xiuying's mouth opened slightly and looked at her sister with an incredulous expression.

"What's wrong?I just said that it wasn't sold nearby, and I didn't say I didn't do it~"

After a rare naughty moment, Cui Xiuzhen stuck out her tongue at her little sister.

As soon as these words came to her ears, Cui Xiuying opened her mouth. A little deep frustration suddenly welled up on the immature face......

"Tell me, he...... Who's that? Uh-huh, it's not going to be the one next door to your school that you said the other day...... Hmm, hmm......"

With lightning speed, she stretched out her hand to cover the mouth of this "open-mouthed" sister, Cui Xiuying's cheeks were faintly flushed with an unnatural flush, and she hurriedly snatched the thermos pot from her sister's hand. He lowered his head and said loudly, "I'm out!", and then without looking back, he took the lunch box and the thermos kettle, and ran away with his shoes in a puff of smoke, because he was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to pull the upper of his shoes.

“……”

After a moment of silence, the family looked at each other silently. After that, it was Cui's mother who broke the silent atmosphere.

"Cough, forget it, anyway, no matter how crazy this girl is, she knows how to measure, besides, ...... she is in love at her age"

Halfway through the words, Cui's mother saw her husband's somewhat darkened face, and immediately stopped her voice smartly, and Cui Xiuzhen next to her couldn't help but smile slightly.

Turning her head and looking at the direction in which the girl stumbled out, Cui Xiuzhen's eyes couldn't help but swell out with some interest, and she muttered in her mouth.

"Xiuying's first love...... What kind of guy will it be?"

……

……

"Huhu~Ah, by the way, uncle, thank you~"

"Huh...... This is my duty, isn't there something urgent? ”

Looking at the little girl who had just gotten out of the car in a hurry and turned back and bowed politely to herself like she remembered something, the taxi driver's uncle couldn't help but smile, his eyes swelled with a little love, waved his hand at her, and said gently.

"Well, you're good to go. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go. ”

Standing in place and beckoning to the departing taxi, Cui Xiuying gasped lightly, carried a thermos pot and lunch box in one hand, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked at the time, her face was tense again, and she quickly turned her head and ran across the road......

Two evergreen old pines are coiled in the flower beds on both sides, the branches are coiled, the needles are luxuriant, the verdant is verdant, and the clusters grow upward, forming a cloud-like canopy, and on the main trunk, the gray-brown bark also brings out a little vigorous wind and frost feeling, so that people look at it, there is a faint sense of majesty.

The bright midday sun passed through the gap between the branches and leaves, and in front of the gate, a mottled silhouette was sprinkled, and when the wind blew, the shadows of the trees were all over the ground.

There are also two flags on the posts on each side of the gate. On one side is the Tai Chi flag waving in the wind, and on the other side of the flag is embroidered with a dove of peace holding a rhododendron, between the two flags, the door number is hung high - "Zhengshen Boys' High School".

At this time. Many adolescent boys, dressed in suit-style school uniforms and carrying school bags, walked out of the gate with a smile and a smile, apparently when it was time for school to end.

“OPPA…… OPPA……”

Under the pine tree on one side, Cui Xiuying hid in the shade of the tree, looking at the group of boys who came out of the school gate with some sneak. Furrowed his brows, he muttered quietly: "Hey~ What about the people? Haven't you finished class yet? No, I'm pinching something!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help frowning and looked down at her phone again, yes, the time was right......

"Ahh

At this time, a pleasant voice of excitement suddenly attracted her attention, and when she looked up, her face was subconsciously happy, but it was immediate. But she was like a thunderbolt......

In Cui Xiuying's sight, there was a slender figure in the gate of this high school who slowly walked out with the crowd, and under the sun, there seemed to be a different kind of charm in his deep black eyes.

However, what made Cui Xiuying's heart fall into the ice cellar was that she saw a petite figure at the school gate running to his side like a butterfly as if she had been waiting for a long time, and ...... Unceremoniously hugged his arm!

For a moment, Cui Xiuying's eyes widened slightly. It feels like the sky is about to fall......

"How do you ...... I ......"

"You still say...... Hee-hee, I miss you......"

The faint sound of conversation gradually came into Cui Xiuying's ears, and it was getting closer and closer. Her hand clutching the thermos pot and bento jerked tightly, and she quickly turned sideways, with her back to her body, so that the pair of slender, petite figures behind her ignored the ...... Walked over.

Turning her head to look at her as if she was distracted, Cui Xiuying gently fanned her eyelashes and looked at the pair of figures walking together in front of her. In my heart, a strange feeling suddenly welled up that I hadn't had since I was born, very dry, blocked, and very uncomfortable......

This girl is not very old, Cui Xiuying can see this at a glance, at least compared to herself, this little girl who doesn't know where she came out of nowhere is too immature, although her appearance looks a little more rare than her peers, and she looks cute, but when it comes to charm, Cui Xiuying is still very confident.

But...... The point is that he ...... His attitude.

This girl will definitely not be his sister, Cui Xiuying is very sure of this, with the news she inquired about in private, she knew that he left his home this summer vacation and came to Gwangju to participate in the summer cram school, he can't have a family here, and she recognized the school uniform on this girl at a glance, it is the school uniform of an elementary school in Beikou District, it is definitely not his relatives, so ......

Although the age comparison looks a bit old, I am not ......

Moreover, although it was a little far away and could not be seen clearly, Cui Xiuying could see that he took care of this girl and his gentle attitude towards this girl, she had never seen him do this to a girl......

However, despite this, Cui Xiuying still didn't seem to want to give up, and she still had a little hope in her heart, so she quietly took a step forward and followed behind the two figures in front of her.

Gradually, however, her face became more and more gray......

The girl's hand never left his hand at all!

Seeing them talking and laughing all the way, watching him smile and whisper in the girl's ear, the young Cui Xiuying felt it for the first time in her life...... The pain of the heart being held by the hand......

looked down at the thermos pot and lunch box in his hand, and then looked at the two seemingly very delicate figures in front of him, Cui Xiuying pursed her lips vigorously, her eyes widened, she wanted to hold back, but she didn't hold back, so-

"Woo......"

A trace of choking began to sound, and a drop of tears rolled down from her big eyes like she didn't want money, Cui Xiuying raised her hand and wiped her face, and soon, the little face with light makeup became like a little flower cat, tears flowed down, crying more and more, getting louder and louder, but Rao was so, but she still wiped her tears while silently following behind the two figures, the more she cried, the more unwilling she was to relax, even if passers-by began to cast surprised glances at her, she still followed closely behind the slender figure like a fart……

"Uh......h Uh, woo......"

"Bang. ”

Finally, the growing cry seemed to attract the attention of the slender figure, and he paused, and glanced back with some confusion.

For a moment, as if her mouth was choked by an invisible force, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, blinked her eyes and looked at the deep black eyes that were casting a puzzled gaze not far in front of her...... Ran.

"OPPA, what's wrong? Do you know that Ernie?"

A cute voice of confusion around him attracted his attention, turned his head to look, showed a gentle smile on his face, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Hmm...... I think so!OPPA is just my sister in Gwangju!"

Her nose wrinkled a little, and she raised her head in a bullish manner, and immediately showed a bright smile at him, a pair of white rabbit teeth that looked quite cute in the sun.

"Heh......"

Looking at her appearance, his eyes seemed to show a little gentle gaze, his eyes swept over her overly boyish dress, smiled slightly, and asked, "By the way, I don't help in the gym at this time, why are you running out alone?"

"Humph!"

It's good that he didn't mention this, but as soon as he said this, she remembered her distress, clenched her little fist and compared it to the air, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Today is the first day of the summer vacation, and that bad guy will definitely come to report......"

"Who's that?"

"Ah...... By the way, OPPA, you haven't met him yet, it's a very bad big badass, I'm telling you! It's completely the dark side of our gym, well!"

"Heh......"

Her puffed up cute appearance seemed to amuse him again, and then, as if there was some curiosity on her somewhat thin face, she asked, "Big villain, tell me, what did he do? He bullied you?"

"No...... It's ......"

Suddenly, she became embarrassed, as if she was hesitating about something, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she looked up at the seemingly gentle black eyes in front of her, still stood on tiptoe, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Then OPPA, don't say it, this matter is too embarrassing for our gym...... It is...... It's the big bad guy he ......"

Bending slightly, accommodating her, he listened to her whisper in his ear, and the smile on his face always seemed so gentle.

However, suddenly, he seemed to hear something, the black eyes that were originally soft moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth, which were kept in a certain arc as if frozen, suddenly rose up, and the originally gentle smile seemed to squeeze into a touch of unknown feeling for a moment......

Oh, I didn't expect to meet an interesting guy in such a place......-

(To be continued.) )
