Chapter Eighty-Nine: Refusal

Time is like a river, people are like a stubborn stone in the river, under the washing of time, people gradually lose all the edges and corners, and become the same.

After Stella left, Li Zheng's life remained the same, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

In the midst of intense and busy filming, June passed quickly, and the ratings of "Splendid Legacy" were getting higher and higher.

In June, something big happened that shook the world.

On June 25, Michael Jackson, the world's greatest composer, lyricist, dancer, actor, director, record producer, philanthropist, passed away in Los Angeles, USA.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for fans around the world who love Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson's influence transcends borders and races. After the bad news broke, the grief spread around the world in an instant.

On the day of Michael Jackson's death, many fans in South Korea spontaneously kept vigil for Michael Jackson and lit candles to express their grief. As a fan of Michael Jackson, Li Zheng also joined in after the day's shooting, and silently prayed for Michael with other fans.

Time passes, and June is coming to an end.

On June 28, the 20th episode of "Splendid Legacy" aired, the ratings finally broke through the 40% mark and reached a good rating of 40.6%.

This was featured in the Korea Daily.

On the 29th, the Korea Daily reported that SBS's special project drama "Splendid Heritage" reached a high rating of 40.6% this Monday. The screenwriter's ingenious scheming in the play is perfect, Cinderella's signature makes the show vulgar but popular, and the suspense from episodes 18 to 20 is extremely exciting, and the audience applauded again and again, winning a lot of impression points for the show. In any case, "Legacy" is a rare classic in Korean dramas in 09, which makes the previously hyped vigorous idol drama "Boys Over Flowers" particularly inferior. ”

The ratings of "Splendid Legacy" have been rising, and Li Zheng's popularity has also greatly increased.

The number of registered members of the official website Fan-club has also increased exponentially, from a few thousand at the beginning, then to tens of thousands, until it recently broke through the 50,000 mark, and finally laid a solid foundation in South Korea and has a group of committed fans.

"Let's have dinner together in the evening. ”

After the filming of the last scene of the day, Moon Chaewon glanced at Li Zheng, who was about to walk towards the dressing room, and suddenly whispered beside him.

After finishing speaking, seeing Li Zheng turn his head to look at her, Wen Caiyuan lowered his head slightly, lowered his voice again, and added: "Just the two of us." ”

Looking at Wen Caiyuan, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, Li Zheng was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”

In the corner of the restaurant, Moon Chae-won and Lee Zheng sat opposite each other.

"The side dishes in this shop are delicious and you can try them. ”

Wen Caiyuan took a piece of radish from the plate and put it on Li Zheng's plate, looked at Li Zheng, and suddenly asked: "In the past half a month, I found that you have become a lot silent on the set, did you encounter something recently?"

"Nothing. ”

Li Zhengwei lowered his head and picked up the radish and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and the moment he looked up, he smiled softly: "Maybe it's because of the role." Cai Yuan xi, you also know that this is my first time as a leading actor in a TV series, and sometimes I think too deeply about the character's personality, and I may be affected unconsciously. To be honest, the better the ratings of the TV series now, the more pressure I feel on my body. ”

"It's normal to be stressed, not only for you, but also for me. ”

Wen Caiyuan smiled softly, glanced at Li Zheng again, and suddenly whispered with some meaning: "Seeing that you have been depressed recently, I thought you had fallen out of love." As he spoke, he looked at Li Zheng and suddenly asked, "By the way, Jun Hyuk, I don't know what kind of girl you like?"

Lee Tsung-said: "I'm the same as ordinary men. Pretty, tall, intellectual, generous......"

Wen Caiyuan suddenly asked, "Then what do you think of me?"

"Hahahaha......"

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, laughed a few times, and suddenly blinked, and asked Chaowen Caiyuan: "Then Caiyuan xi, how do you want me to answer?" Is it a 'good' or 'bad'?"

Wen Caiyuan's face turned red all of a sudden, she glanced at Li Zheng, and said angrily: "You should ask yourself this question." ”

Li Zheng nodded and smiled: "Ask myself? Then my answer is 'good' and 'bad'." ”

Wen Caiyuan looked at Li Zheng and didn't speak, listening to him continue to explain.

Li Zheng smiled: "'Good', it is Cai Yuan Xi who really meets my standards for a girlfriend, not only beautiful and tall, but also intellectual and generous."

'Not good', it's because the company has a hard rule on me, and within two years, I'm not allowed to fall in love, so Caiyuan xi is no matter how 'good' it is, and for me, it has become 'bad'. Besides, if I just answer 'yes' in the last sentence, and you say 'tease you' in the next sentence, then I'm not going to be embarrassed to death. Haha, I'm not going to fool you. ”

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Wen Caiyuan burst out laughing, and his originally faintly depressed mood suddenly became much better.

…………

After finishing the dinner and saying goodbye to Wen Caiyuan, looking at the back of Wen Caiyuan's car gradually moving away, Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled silently.

For Wen Caiyuan's thoughts, how could he not see it.

It's just that he really has no intention of falling in love at the moment, or rather, he has no intention of falling in love until he achieves his mother's dream.

In the previous conversation, although he explained quite cleverly, Li Zheng knew that Wen Caiyuan must have also known his euphemistic refusal. It's just that for smart people, there are some things that both sides don't need to explain thoroughly, everyone understands and points to the end, that is, to avoid embarrassment between the two sides after picking out, and it is also convenient for everyone to get along in the future.

Seeing Wen Caiyuan's car gradually moving away, Li Zheng waved his hand and stopped a taxi.

After getting into the car, Li Zheng was just about to report the address to the driver, when a slender figure suddenly opened the back door and sat in, and then said to the driver with a crying voice: "Uncle, please drive quickly and get out of here." ”

The driver turned sideways from the driver's seat and looked at the girl who suddenly ran into the car, although the girl was wearing a hat, and the lower half of her face was also covered by a mask, but from the girl's crying tone, it can be seen that the girl's mood is very sad, although he has some sympathy for the girl, but after all, there is a first come, first come, after all, he can't let the customer who got in the car first back down because the girl is sad, so he had to turn his head and look at Li Zheng helplessly, waiting for Li Zheng to make a decision.

"It doesn't matter. Let's drive first. ”

After the car started, Li Zheng looked at the girl sitting next to him, and asked softly, "Where are you going?" ”

The girl's mood seemed to calm down a lot at this time, she first turned sideways and bowed slightly to thank Li Zheng, and then said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." Please ......" In the middle of her words, she suddenly looked at Li Zheng's face in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "You, who are you...... Politics oppa?"

Li Zheng couldn't help but look at the girl suspiciously: "We knew each other before?"

After entering the showbiz, Lee Jung has changed his name to Kang Jun Hyuk, and most fans call him "Jun Hyuk oppa" when they see him, only people who have known him before will occasionally call him "Jun Hyuk oppa".

"Oppa, I'm ......"

The girl was just about to answer, when she suddenly noticed that there was another person in the car, so she stopped, nodded, and shook her head again: "Oppa, we know, no, it's me who knew you before, you, you may not know me." ”

Seeing that the girl finished speaking, and glanced at the driver who was driving in front of him, Li Zheng seemed to understand something, nodded, and said again: "Where are you going?" I'll let the uncle take you home first. ”

"Oppa, I don't want to go back. ”

The girl shook her head, glanced at Li Zheng, opened her mouth, stopped talking, and after a while, finally said: "Oppa, can we find a place, you can stay with me for a while." After saying that, he seemed to feel that his words were a little wrong, and explained, "I mean, can you find a place to talk to me?"

Looking at the look of pleading in the girl's eyes, Li Zheng groaned slightly, but shook his head: "I'm sorry." I have work to do early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I don't have time. ”
