In 2014.

……

In the middle of summer, the sun is scorching.

The bright afternoon sun seems to make the cicadas on the trees chirp more vigorously, and the noisy summer atmosphere is accompanied by a cool breeze.

"Please bring your belongings and get off the bus in an orderly manner......"

Under the prompt of the announcement in the car, a tall and slender figure carried a duffel bag and stepped out of the airport bus in the middle of a group of passengers.

He wore crisp black trousers and shiny leather shoes, a casual pure white linen shirt on his upper body, and a pair of sunglasses on his face.

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

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. The man's eyes blinked behind his sunglasses, and he took out his phone from his pocket and looked at it.

After seeing the caller's display clearly, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered something vaguely in his mouth, if Yin Zhi stood aside at this time, he would definitely be able to see what the man was muttering at a glance.

He silently uttered a Chinese idiom, and the ghost lingered.

Without answering the phone and chatting with the other party, the man casually hung up the call with the note "Greyson", and then turned his head to look around, ready to take a taxi to the city first.

As a result, at this moment, the mobile phone he held in his hand turned out to be again.

The man's brow furrowed again, and he raised his phone impatiently to look at it, but his face was slightly stunned, and then, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Well, what's the matter with calling me at this time?"

While holding the phone to his ear, the man glanced at the watch on his wrist.

According to the time conversion, it is the early hours of the morning in New York, and no matter who receives the call at this time, the mood is not expected to be much better.

“Leo！”

A familiar and coquettish voice rushed directly from the other end of the phone, almost shocking the man's eardrums.

He frowned in disgust, took the phone a little farther away, and waited until he plucked his ears with his hands, then put the phone back to his ears, and said helplessly and funny: "Ah, Zheng Xiujing, do you know that if you scream like this in the middle of the night, I will scare you out even if I don't have a heart attack." ”

“……”

There was silence on the phone.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the man heard a grieved muttering on the other end of the phone.

"Leo, you've changed ......"

The expression on the man's face suddenly changed to a funny look, "What did you say?"

"I said you've changed!

The voice in his ears immediately became high, and it was unabashedly full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"You used to love me very much! Everything depends on me, but now when you look at yourself, you know that you are busy with work and work every day! I am an artist, and I have a lot of announcements every day, but I am not as busy as you! I can't even squeeze a little time to come back to Korea to see me!"

With a smile on the man's lips, but the tone of his mouth did not show much softness, he stood on the side of the bus sign on the side of the road against the big sun, and asked with great interest: "Ah, Krystal Jung, do you know how much economic loss my company will bring to the world if it stops operating for one day?"

"It seems to be very powerful, but every time you ask you specifically, you are mysterious!" Zheng Xiujing on the other end of the phone sneered, "Also, I don't care how much money your company can make." What's my business? I just want you to be a person. ”

The man still smiled and whispered unmoved, "I'm not your person. ”

"You're my man!"

Zheng Xiujing's voice on the other end of the phone instantly rose again, and she said in a surprising voice: "You are my man, you have been since ten years ago, have you forgotten yourself?"

The man laughed and said, "Ah, you forgot it yourself, right? If I'm not mistaken, isn't your man Uncle Zheng?"

"You and my Abba are my men. But—Abba already has a mother, so you're my real man. ”

I have to say that Zheng Xiujing's words sound very solemn, but the man who understands this girl's personality really wants to put his hand on the other end of the phone right now, and knock it the girl's broad forehead, it is best to sober up her brain.

Since her debut as an artist, this girl's style of acting has become more and more eccentric, and it is possible to sneak into his bed in the middle of the night.

"Alright, don't talk to me so much. I know what you're trying to do, but I'm really not going to be able to arrange this, so I'll talk about it later. ”

The man held his mobile phone and looked left and right around the station, and the corners of his mouth hooked up as if he were nothing.

Surprises have to be revealed a little later to be interesting.

He could already roughly imagine the cute expression on the girl's stunned face when she saw him a few days later.

"Ahh

Seeing that he seemed to be planning to end the call, Zheng Xiujing on the other end of the phone immediately shouted, and her tone was quite anxious and nervous.

"Han Yu, I warn you, my coming-of-age ceremony in two days, if you really dare not come, when I return to NYC after a while, you will definitely die at my hands!"

In order to accentuate the tone, the girl even called out the real names of the other party, who were not often called.

"Why do I feel the urge to see how I'm going to die at your hands when I say that?"

"Ah, you want to die...... No, Leo~~"

Zheng Xiujing's voice suddenly became pitiful.

"Leo, you know, you know? I know you don't like crowded occasions, so there won't be too many people around, we're just throwing a party privately. I'm going to be here too, haven't you two always wanted to meet officially?"

This is a change of strategy, hard not to soft anymore?

Han Yu, who was standing next to the bus sign, smiled slightly with his mobile phone, and said ambiguously: "Hmm...... We'll talk about that then. ”

Immediately after, without waiting for the girl on the other end of the phone to yell anxiously, he quickly hung up the phone, and avoided the "destruction" of his ears again in time.

"This girl, it's really ......"

Looking at the hang-up screen displayed on the mobile phone screen, Han Yu shook his head helplessly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was clearly full of tenderness.

And what he must not have expected was that just after he hung up the phone, on the other end of the call, the long-haired girl who was sitting cross-legged in the practice room frowned and stared at the mobile phone in her hand, and after a few seconds, an imperceptible low laugh rang out.

The girl didn't continue to call and pester, as the man expected, she obediently put away the phone, her originally slightly twisted brows stretched, and she patted her ass from the floor and stood up.

Under the bright lights of the practice room, the light smile on the corner of her lips looked very moving.

Her joy wasn't because she had discovered something, but simply because of the conversation she had just had with him.

How long has it been?

arguing with him like this, playing with him in a temper, you know, in the past few years, when you call him, you will basically be hung up if you can't talk for two sentences, and you are extremely indifferent.

Did something good happen?

No matter what, if he encounters a good thing, it is equivalent to a good thing himself.

No, it's better than having a good thing happen to you, because you can talk to him happily for a while.

It would be nice to be able to talk to him.

Well, it's worth rejoicing all day today!

With a happy mood, the girl pulled them to practice again with surprise excitement under the inexplicable gaze of her teammates.

……

"Ah, I heard that the new song of the children of EXO is popular again. Looking at the trend, you may be able to become the sales champion in the first half of this year. ”

"Whatever. Anyway, it's a boy group, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"I think our "." is a little bit more popular. ”

"That's right. ”

"Speaking of which, it seems that the Internet is now saying that they will take the place of BIGBANG. What do you think?"

"From the bottom of my heart, then of course I hope they can do it. After all, it's our juniors. ”

Sitting in the hotel box, listening to the whispered chats of the members around her, Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting in the corner and was relatively inconspicuous, blinked her eyes, and under the brim of her big black hat, a small face the size of a palm was set off by the white mask on her chin.

She was eating with her head down and didn't participate much in the discussion.

The main thing is that she doesn't know what to say, she rarely goes out to dinner with the rest of the group, and if it weren't for Sunny's birthday, she would rather stay home and watch a movie today.

"Ah, but what time is it now? Why hasn't that girl arrived yet?"

"Don't you know? She's been busy with her fashion brand opening a store these days. ”

"Hey...... Is it for this again? She's going a little too far. How many times have we been released?"

"Alright, alright, Sika told me in advance, she'll be back later. ”

Silently listening to the words of the members, Kim Taeyeon somehow lowered her head in a peaked cap more and more.

"Ding Dong!"

At this moment, the mobile phone she kept in her hand suddenly rang.

She picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

With her personality, it is rare for her to make such a serious expression, but once she reveals such an expression, those who are familiar with her will realize her inner irritability at this time.

"Ernie, what's wrong?"

Seo Hyun, who was sitting next to Kim Taeyeon, noticed the change in her expression very carefully, but she didn't come over curiously, but just asked softly.

“…… It's nothing. ”

Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses, turned her head and smiled slightly, and immediately put away her phone as if nothing had happened.

On her phone screen, a text message with no name is displayed, and the content is also very simple, she just wants to invite Kim Taeyeon to have a meal with her on the weekend.

But obviously, the other party invited her on the premise of knowing Kim Taeyeon's identity, and Kim Taeyeon also refused by not responding on the premise of knowing the other party's identity, after all, they are all colleagues in the company, and both sides are not looking good when they make a big deal about it.

She wanted the other person to understand what she meant.

Seo Hyun, who was sitting next to Kim Taeyeon, looked at her thoughtfully, and then didn't ask much, and picked up the dish for Kim Taeyeon with a smile.

At the dinner table, in the absence of one person, the atmosphere is still very lively, but faintly, it always makes people feel that something is not right.
