Chapter 20 Isn't this a little unfair to me?
Maybe it's because this song is very accurate and cleverly fits her own mood perfectly, since downloading the sound source of this song called "Time to Forget" to her mobile phone, Jiang Shiqi's headphones have been repeating this only song these days-
"The many nostalgia faded away like a sunset, and the many regrets that caught me were also lightened.
……
It's time to forget you, I thought that if you were gone, your life would be dim,
Now I'm dulled from all that pain, and I can't feel it anymore. ”
Just like the lyrics say, no matter how many memories she has, for her, it has reached a moment that must be forgotten.
I don't know if it's because the gentle singing voice of the guy who is close to her like her own brother has always echoed in her ears, and the pain caused by betrayal and abandonment doesn't seem to be as heart-rending as before - what should be forgotten, when it should be forgotten, even if it can't be let go for a while, but you have to work hard to shake off those heavy pasts and move forward.
Even if this incident made her feel that there was no way to talk to the other party at all, but the brother who would definitely stand on her side unconditionally no matter what happened, who had comforted her many times over the years, and how many troubles and problems he had solved for her directly or indirectly, still "standed" beside her in such a special way, and unconsciously, it made her mood seem to have become slightly better.
"Shiki?"
“…… Oh, are you back? Let's go. ”
Because of the fact that the headphones have been looping on her ears, Jiang Shiqi, who was still quietly half-leaning on the sofa in the practice room late at night after the practice, didn't realize that Pei Zhuhyun had finished going to the bathroom and returned to the practice room - the reason why she was still alone in the practice room at one o'clock in the morning was waiting for Pei Zhuxun, who was going back to the dormitory with her.
"The shop not far from the company that sells fish cakes and spicy fried rice cakes should be open until two o'clock in the morning, Shiki, I'll invite you to have supper, okay?"
Since the "investigation" that scared her out of half her life, Bae Joo-hyun, who had been in a trance and had difficulty concentrating because she had heard too much "old news" in that small shop that she had never heard of before or not, suddenly regained her spirits - those emotions and confusion, doubts, and uneasiness that were so complicated that she couldn't explain were like leaving her body with the scared half of her life, so that in these days, The whole person is finally back on track.
This also allowed her to free up more experience and time to take care of Jiang Shiqi, a sister who made her both worried, annoyed and distressed - although until now she didn't know how deeply Jiang Shiqi was involved with that person and how much she was hurt because of those entangled pasts, but Bae Joo-hyun knew very well that it was definitely not something that could be survived by a person who was there to digest it slowly.
These days, she has said all the comforting things she can say I don't know how many times, and now all she can do is probably invite this sister to eat what she likes to eat, right?
"Ernie, you're not going today, are you? You've been asking me to eat like this lately, and if you continue to eat like this, I'm going to be scolded to death the next time I get a weight check. ”
Seeing the sister leaning on the sofa squeezing out a smile on her face, and then standing up like that, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart - the more she was at such a moment, the more she missed the guy who had "left" her and Jiang Shiqi's side for more than two years.
What would he have done if he had been here?
What is he doing now?
"Brother, do you have a cold? Before you say a word, how many times have you sneezed?"
"Can you say a few words? I'll hang up the phone if you talk nonsense!"
It must have been when he went to greet the girl idol group called Stellar, who debuted a year earlier than him but had never heard of before before the performance, that he inhaled too much air in the waiting room filled with a strong perfume that he didn't know what it was, which made his respiratory tract react so violently, right?
After sneezing three or four times in a row, Wang Nanqian secretly complained in his heart about the terrible perfume that left a deep impression on him, while rubbing his nose and unceremoniously scolding back the words of the guy who was "hippie smiling" on the other end of the phone.
"Brother, are you going too far? I specially called to wish you a great hair, and I also took the time to watch the stage you just had!"
"Ouch, it's really flattering to say that the unknown little idol who is mixed in the bottom can't afford to be our big actor. ”
Although he was very grateful to the guy on the other side of the phone, who might be a little busier than himself, for watching his return to the stage just now, Wang Nanqian didn't want to let go of each other at all - when they were filming TV series together, they were used to getting along with each other in this way, which is probably a unique way to express their closeness between their relatives and friends.
When they first met, they were all small characters with little fame, and now, a year later, they are all really popular artists who can no longer be ignored - but the friendship established from the "poor" time has not faded due to the change of identity, status and popularity, on the contrary, the relationship between them has become closer and stronger.
If it was placed in the past, Wang Nanqian might not think that this kind of thing was anything special, after all, he treats people with a sincere heart, and naturally thinks that he will gain the sincerity of others - but after experiencing everything that happened in the past two months, he has a new perspective and understanding of this friendship between them.
The reason why the friendship between them can be managed so well is probably related to the objective factors such as their different development directions and no big conflict of interest between each other, right? Fortunately, the two guys who are also developing in the field of acting also have huge differences in appearance and performance style, so that there will be no competition for one role, which can make the friendship between the three of them so strong, right?
Maybe only this kind of friendship will last for a long time, right?
"Brother, let me tell you, what you said is going to offend a large number of people, you said that the president of NAN is an unknown little Idol, so how can other people live? Do you believe ......me or not?"
"Okay, okay, what are you calling me for?"
After the performance stage is all over, although most of the performing artists will stay in the backstage waiting room for a short time, Wang Nanqian, who ran out to greet one by one, still has several seniors and senior combinations of waiting rooms that have not been to - if you keep talking with Lee Jong Suk like this, some anxious people will leave the TV station.
So Wang Nanqian once again ruthlessly interrupted the other party's words.
"It's really ruthless, I specially called to congratulate me, but I was treated like this, I'm going to call Yubin later, tell him ......"
"Can you kid hurry up and get down to business? I really have something to do! If it weren't for your call, I wouldn't have answered!"
"Okay, brother, I received a script today, it's the leading actor. ”
probably heard that Wang Nanqian's tone didn't seem to be joking with him, and Lee Jong Suk, who was on the other side of the phone, also put away his joking attitude and immediately told his true intentions - if he hadn't known that Wang Nanqian had a singing stage, he would have been spending it on the TV station until late, and after he got the script in the afternoon and talked to the director and screenwriter on the phone, he couldn't wait to contact this brother immediately, and he wouldn't have been patient until now.
"Congratulations, which TV station is the big production this time?"
I have the impression that just a week or two ago, a movie starring Lee Jong Suk had just been released, but I didn't expect a new series to find him immediately - after hearing the other party's words, Wang Nanqian couldn't help but press his temple with his finger: Is this guy calling on purpose to show off to himself?
"Brother, since the TV series 'School 2013', have we never been together again?"
"Huh, supposedly, right?"
Lee Jong Suk's words were a little ambiguous, but Wang Nam-qian didn't think much about the aspects that would cause the female high school students to scream incessantly—he knew very well what the other party meant by his words.
"Brother, you were with that guy Yubin again, isn't this a little unfair to me?"
“…… Zhong Shuo, you want to say ......?"
Hearing Lee Jong Suk say such words, Wang Nanqian suddenly realized something—which also made him hesitate and pause for two or three seconds before speaking again.
"Brother, I've already talked to the director and screenwriter, and they are very, very willing. ”
Believing that Wang Namqian had fully understood what he meant, but did not hear the answer he wanted to hear the most, Lee Jong Suk couldn't help but be a little anxious - although he had a very successful year last year, and was also named the top five of "Korea's most shining TV drama actors" on the Internet, but at the various award ceremonies held at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, he returned empty-handed, from the beginning to the end.
Seeing his other relative and friend Kim Woo-bin frequently take the stage at the award ceremony, holding trophies of various popular awards there to give acceptance speeches, Lee Jong Suk's heart was full of mixed emotions - on the one hand, he was very happy that his relative and friend could win the award, but on the other hand, he was very envious of the other party......
Maybe with a little bit of jealousy.
From that moment on, he made up his mind that at the awards ceremony at the end of 2014, he must stand on the stage, and not just be a foil for others below.
So when he received the script for this big-budget TV series on SBS TV, which looked very interesting and felt that there was a chance to become a hit, he immediately thought of the brother who was very close to him, but was not in the field of acting - his brother, but one of the popular male idol groups that is currently popular, was filming "School 2013" When he was in that TV series, he and Kim Woo-bin both witnessed with their own eyes how much popularity and topics this brother who was not as famous as he is now drove and how many topics he caused.
If you can ask this brother to support himself and use his popularity to put up a high enough springboard for himself, relying on this TV series, maybe at the awards ceremony at the end of the year......
"Zhong Shuo, I ......"
"Brother, please. ”
Subconsciously, Lee Jong Suk turned into the phone and used honorifics.
