Chapter 22: You're Dependent on Me
"Who are you talking to for more than an hour? Even a girlfriend wouldn't take that long, would you?"
After waiting for two days with great anticipation, he didn't expect to wait for such a result in the end, and Lee Jong Suk only felt that his head became painful: he dialed the number of the brother almost immediately after hanging up his agent's phone - I don't know how many times he called before and after, how long he waited, until he began to want to throw the snacks on the coffee table to the TV, and he didn't know who he was talking to and the brother who had been busy finally picked up his phone.
The emotions that had accumulated for a long time suddenly erupted at this time, and even before the brother's voice was heard, Lee Jong Suk couldn't wait to open his mouth first-although he also knew that his tone was really not very good, but he felt that it was already a very polite way of expression that he didn't burst out at this moment.
"Are you crazy, kid, how are you talking to your brother?"
Probably because the brother on the other side of the phone turned up the volume when he responded to him, so Lee Jong Suk, who subconsciously tilted his head and slightly avoided the amplification port of the mobile phone, did not hear anything unusual from the other party's words - if he could carefully distinguish the tone of the guy who had been with him for a long time on the set day and night, so he had long been familiar with it, the emotion of being angry and abnormal because the truth was told would definitely not escape his ears.
It's just that now he doesn't care about these "minutiae" things at all.
"Okay, okay, I won't go around in circles with you, brother, I'm so sorry for you, how can you treat me like this?
Explanation?I answered several people's phone calls in a row almost without any stops, and I don't know how many explanations and perfunctory words were said in the course of the night—after "finally" ending the entire itinerary of the singing stage, which had been reduced to only four times, those people launched a phone bombardment with him as if they had made an appointment together:
Among them, there are people like Kim Ki-beom and Lee Tae-min who are purely here to express condolences and congratulations, and who are laughing and shouting for him to have a dinner with a "junior", and there are also people like Jung Eun-di who seem to see something and ask him if something happened and if there is anything she can help with......
If it was just like this, it wouldn't have taken that long, but nearly an hour ago, just after Wang Nanqian had just pretended that nothing had happened, and smiled at the "concern" from the girl who Zheng Endi knew he shouldn't respond to, but still had to respond, his hand hadn't left the phone that had become a little hot, and the four words that gave him the most headache were displayed on the screen with the phone that vibrated again.
After finally exhausting all his strength, and saying that a few dry gaps were cracked on his lips, he finally quieted down the woman who had been "suffocated" some time ago and vented on the phone - if he could barely maintain a normal heart when facing Zheng Endi, in the face of this woman who had spent too much time with him, So much so that when it feels like he is about to become an indispensable part of his life, he is like a canoe floating on the sea.
And that guy is like the sea that rules the fate of his canoe.
If she is calm, he will be safe.
If she is in a storm, he will be in great trouble.
And now, his whole person is as if he survived a sea disaster in a typhoon - he finally floated ashore with a small sampan, where does Wang Nanqian still have any good spirit to "explain" to Lee Jong Suk?
"It's not something I can decide, what do you want me to tell you?"
"Brother, it took me a lot of effort to communicate with the director and screenwriter, and the screenwriter agreed to rewrite a role for you, brother, are you worthy of me?"
"I've told you everything! This kind of thing is not something I can decide! If you are so energetic, why don't you come to our company one day and protest to those who can take care of things in person!"
"You're trying to fool me! How can you be worthy of me?
"How many times have I told you! It's not something I can decide!"
"Don't try to be perfunctory to me! I've worked so hard, you have to do something so that I can face the director and screenwriter!"
This statement is like a resentful woman who is still in love with her ex after falling out of love, and she is stubbornly fighting and refuses to let go, if Lee Jong Suk's sisters and mothers see him like this, I don't know how she will feel?
Anyway, he didn't want to talk to this guy who looked like he was "looking for trouble" and "unreasonable".
"Zhong Shuo, things have come to this, what else do you want me to do?"
"Can you help me?"
I don't know if it's when people are unlucky, there will always be unfortunate things that take the initiative to come to the door, after the terrible experience of the company's dismissal, Jiang Shiqi has been constantly comforting herself in her heart, and there will definitely be good luck after the catastrophe - but now it seems that her bad luck is far from the end.
As one of the best dancers among female trainees, she sprained her ankle while practicing the dance moves of EXO's Grol - it was only a tingling pain at first, but when she sat down and took off her shoes and socks, she found that her ankle was completely swollen.
At such a time, if she didn't go to the bathroom and rinse the sprained area with cold water, if she allowed this situation to continue, she probably wouldn't be able to continue practicing dance for the next week.
As a last resort, she whispered a plea to her sister, who was sitting closest to her.
"Ah...... Shikioni what's wrong with you?"
Because the company has always had close ties to the hospital, Jin Shizheng was a little listless all day today, and from time to time she was a little stunned - just when Jiang Shiqi was talking to her, she was staring at the floor in a daze, so that she couldn't react in the first time.
"Can you help me to the bathroom?"
"Ahh
"It's just twisted, it's nothing ......"
Carefully pressed part of the weight of her body on the shoulders of her sister, who was much shorter than herself, and with the support of the other party, Jiang Shiqi jumped to the door of the practice room and pushed open the door - just when she wanted to squeeze a smile on her face, and then said two words of comfort to Jin Shizheng, a man's low voice suddenly sounded in the corridor, directly interrupting her words.
"Lee Jong Suk, Lee Jong Suk! You are relying on me! I really convinced you!"
Lee Jong Suk?
There are still such big-name trainees in the company, can they call Lee Jong Suk, the senior who became popular last year, by name? How could she never hear of it before?
"Ahh
Could it be that the "Lee Jong Suk" in this person's mouth is just a person who happens to have the same name and surname as that senior?
"Okay, okay, I'll contact you when I have news, okay?
The voice...... How does it seem familiar?
Confused, thinking about who was talking loudly in the corridor and didn't look like a trainee at all, Jiang Shiqi poked her head out of the door of the practice room in confusion - and then she was completely stunned.
A person who would never have been here was standing in the corridor with such swagger.
At the same time she saw the man, the man saw her.
"Shiki, I wish you a happy birthday...... Wait a minute, what's wrong with your feet?"
