Leaving the steam room, Choi Jun-seok and Lee Seung-gi looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"That's all for today...... Lee Seung Gi said, "next time I have a chance to meet again......

Seeing that he smiled extremely reluctantly, it was obvious that this 'chance encounter' made him very upset. Therefore, Cui Junxi also simply said: "Okay, then make an appointment next time!"

At this time, his agent and Lin Mu had already changed their clothes and came out, and Li Shengji hurriedly said, "Then let's go first, and we'll talk next time." ”

"Hmm. ”

When it was over, Lee Seung Gi thought of something again, and turned around and said, "Eh, Jun Seok ......"

“？”

"I'll help you ask about that, but ......" Lee Seung-gi's face was a little embarrassed: "Well, don't expect too much, because I don't know ...... the president's side either"

Cui Junxi then understood, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, brother, I will figure out how to do this by myself, don't bother you." ”

"It's fine. Although he was in no longer in the mood as before, Lee Seung-gi still bothered and smiled: "I won't help you with your favor, who else can I help!" Don't worry, even if the president can't help it, I will continue to help you inquire!"

Seeing his enthusiastic appearance, Cui Junxi had to smile bitterly and said, "Well, thank you very much." ”

"Huh. Lee Seung Gi showed a happy smile on his face, but soon he put down his smile again and said loudly: "Then let's go~"

"Hmm. ”

After the two embraced, Lee Seung Gi left first.

Seeing him go away, Cui Junxi stopped and said to Lin Mu on the side: "We're also leaving." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Mu responded to the call to pick up the car without mentioning it. On the way back, Choi Jun-seok has been quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.

Through the rearview mirror. Lin Mu looked at him for a while, and seeing that he was expressionless all the time, he finally couldn't help but say, "Junxi......"

Choi Joon-seok finally opened his eyes.

After a cursory glance at his face to confirm that there was nothing wrong, Lin Mu said cautiously, "Are you thinking about what happened just now?"

"Huh?" Choi Jun-seok was slightly surprised, but soon he suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not ......"

After a pause, Cui Junxi sighed helplessly: "It's a little bit too ......"

The inconsistent answer made Lin Mu glance at him very suspiciously.

Cui Junxi's face, which had been calm before, relaxed, showed a trace of exhaustion, and leaned back. Lying down comfortably. Cai smiled bitterly: "Although I don't know why they (TVXQ) treat me ...... Resistant, but ......" He looked out the window, his dark eyes unfocused.

"I'm not someone who kneades me just because they want to! It's natural not to mess with me, it's good to mess with me, it's ...... to mess with me."

Inadvertently, but it shows its confidence and pride. Let Lin Mu also can't help but suffocate.

“……”

However, Choi Jun-seok quickly came back to his senses. He turned his head to look at Lin Mu. "So, their attitude is not the whole reason! I'm just wondering if I should go back to my hometown these days, after all, I want to build a house." There are so many things that I don't know how to start!"

Lin Mu was really surprised at this moment, and said with his mouth closed: "You really plan to build a villa on Jeju Island!"

"Of course!, why not!" replied Choi Jun-seok with great certainty. And then......

He looked out the window again, both to Lin Mu and to himself, and said in a low voice: "After all, it is my hometown, and there is nothing wrong with returning to the roots......

Hearing this, Lin Mu was also silent.

…… ，……

No matter which direction things developed after that, what happened that day was just a small fragment of Choi Jun-seok's long life, and Choi Jun-seok, who was busy, quickly forgot about these things.

No, on this day, Choi Jun-seok, who had taken the time to go back to his hometown on Jeju Island alone, came out of the airport and finally returned to Busan Village, a small village with simple folk customs located in Seogwipo City, one of the two major municipal administrative regions of Jeju Island, at the foot of Hallasan Mountain.

As soon as I got out of the car, the 'acquaintance' of my hometown, the current village mayor of Busan, and a middle-aged man with a simple face, who had been waiting for a long time and finally re-contacted by Cui Mingxiu after several twists and turns, immediately stepped forward and greeted him with a smile: "Hey Yigu, Brother Mingxiu's family, you are back~~"

Cui Junxi hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Uncle Li, why do you want you to come to greet me? Isn't this a discount for my birthday~"

The elder in his 40s did not have the twilight and old-fashioned of ordinary elders, but took Cui Junxi's hand with a smile and said: "Hey, we don't pay attention to these! Brother Mingxiu, who has been out for decades, still remembers these old brothers when we were children! What is it worth for me to help out!"

Seeing that although he is young, but his seniority is very great, the elder is so enthusiastic, what else can Cui Junxi say? He had to smile bitterly and said, "It's really troublesome Uncle You!"

- Although he should have called the elder grandfather, but this person is quite open-minded, and he may be mixed with 'politics', and he treats people quite tactfully, so he refuses to let Cui Junxi call him grandfather, but Cui Junxi can only be called an uncle.

"No trouble, no trouble!" said a warm smile on the honest and honest face of the chief.

"That's right......"

Finally, Cui Junxi saw a hint of the cunning and shrewdness unique to the villagers on the very deceptive old face of the chief, "Last time you said on the phone that you wanted to buy a piece of land in the village, is it true?"

"......" Choi Jun-seok.

Seeing that he was stunned, the lieutenant immediately shook Cui Junxi's hand enthusiastically, and said "sincerely", "Isn't this uncle heard that you want to build a house for Brother Mingxiu to support the elderly, ah~ It's rare that you are so filial, and the uncle naturally did his best, after all, Brother Mingxiu and we were very close back then......"

Although it was certainly not all the case, Choi Jun-seok still showed a grateful look and said, "Ah, that's really thankful for uncle......"

The lieutenant laughed at this time, and he didn't need to go straight.

At this moment, another young man who came with the lieutenant carefully interjected: "Seventh uncle, are we ......?"

"Ahem!" the lieutenant immediately glared at him fiercely.

The man was immediately silent.

"Huh?" Cui Junxi looked thoughtfully at the man's somewhat god-like appearance with the lieutenant chief, and then thought of the lieutenant's enthusiasm for his land purchase before. I finally had a little score in my heart, so I smiled and didn't say anything.

After glaring, the lieutenant who should be a nephew and grandchild turned his head again, and said to Cui Junxi enthusiastically: "Uh, Junxi, you haven't eaten yet, have you?

"No, no, no......" Choi Jun-seok hurriedly excused himself, he turned to another man, and changed the subject: "Uh, uncle." This is ......"

"Ah~" the chief pretended to remember. Hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced: "This is your brother Zhengmin, and he is also the ...... of the village."

"Ah, hello Brother Jungmin~" Choi Jun-seok stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

"You, hello......" Cui Zhengmin, who is about thirty, is obviously much more honest than Lichang. I shook his hand very restrainedly. And then there were no words.

The lieutenant chief was afraid that Choi Jun-seok would not hesitate. hurriedly said in the ring on the side: "Well, your political and civil brother is like this, and he is more restrained." Don't care about him......" Saying that, he warmly invited: "Junxi, it's rare for you to come back, come to your uncle's house for a meal, so that your aunt can meet them......"

"I really don't need to ......," Choi Jun-seok refused.

"What you want...... "I want" is invited

“……”

……

In the end, Choi Jun-seok was dragged to his house by the enthusiastic lieutenant to have a homely meal. Not to mention the staggered planning and politeness during the period, when Choi Jun-seok finally escaped from various miscellaneous relatives such as the seven aunts and eight aunts, the eldest cousin and the little cousin who rushed to hear the news, and returned to the Cui family's ancestral home on Jeju Island, even Choi Jun-seok, who had been in battle for a long time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the place where it should be the living room, he found a clean place to sit for a while, and Choi Jun-seok had time to look at the ancestral house again.

Well, in fact, it is said to be an ancestral home, but since Choi Myung-so's generation left their hometown to go to Seoul at that time to earn a living, the roots of the Choi family are no longer in Busan Village. Although Choi Jun-seok's great-grandfather and great-grandmother were still staying in their hometown at that time, as Choi Myung-so slowly gained a foothold in Seoul and later passed away of Choi Jun-seok's great-grandparents, except for Choi Myung-so and his wife who occasionally came back to worship, even Choi Dongjian and his wife actually didn't come back much.

And when it comes to Choi Jun-seok's generation, the third generation of the Choi family, who live in Seoul and Jang Dae, has never even returned to this so-called hometown. After all, decades have passed, and the Cui family is no longer the Cui family it was at the beginning. Although when he was at home, Choi Myung-so also taught Choi Jun-seok the words of his hometown, but ...... If it weren't for Choi Myung-so, who was seriously ill, somehow remembered to go back to his hometown to see, Choi Jun-seok would never have felt that he had any connection with Jeju Island's 'hometown'!

Looking at the walls and eaves that look fine, but in fact, the inside is quite dilapidated, as well as the various dilapidated and worn furniture inside and outside the house, and smelling the rotten smell everywhere, Cui Junxi sighed, "Hey, one ancient~"

After sighing, he was speechless for a while.

After being stunned again, Choi Jun-seok resigned himself to standing up and checking the condition of the house around. After all, let's not talk about whether to build a house or not, Cui Mingxiu and his wife said that they will come back to see it in the near future, and even if they can, they will live for a while or something. Cui Junxi persuaded him several times, but the second elder just refused. Helplessly, Choi Jun-seok had to squeeze out time in the busy itinerary announcement and come back from time to time to sort it out.

……

After a busy afternoon, Choi Jun-seok finally sorted it out. Although it can't be said that it has been completely renewed, Cui Junxi has sorted out some things to be used, and by the way, Cui Junxi has also packed up some really useless chores and piled them up, planning to invite someone tomorrow or take them himself and throw them away.

As for other porches, kitchens, toilets, courtyards, etc., it is really not something that Cui Junxi can do alone, so he has to wait for Cui Junxi to find a special company or hire someone to tidy up, so that this ancestral house of 1780 square meters, which is not much different from the ordinary rural farmhouses in the fifties and sixties, can be re-inhabited.

In short, looking at the ancestral house that finally looked a little human, Cui Junxi, who was tired like a dog, lay down directly on the sky and fell on the dilapidated tatami mat in the living room, and said wildly.

"Ah~~"

"Finally finished !!"
