Chapter Ninety-Eight Photos
When did he start having this hobby and habit? Jin Zhongming can't remember clearly, but it should have something to do with Sika, because Jin Zhongming's home still keeps a lot of photos of Sika playing crazy with him in the light rain and snow.
"In the past, I went back, the willows are still around, and now I think about it, and the rain and snow are falling. Kim Jong-ming recited the words that were completely out of tune, paced along the sidewalk of Hanjiang South Road, put on a cotton hat, put his hands in his pockets, and shrunk into his padded jacket, which was a wonderful feeling.
As the year approaches, the business atmosphere in Seoul has continued from Christmas to today, and it has remained very high, with pedestrians on the road not paying any attention to the snowflakes overhead, and their attention is all on the shops and goods on the roadside.
"The bookstore is so popular?" Jin Zhongming couldn't help but stop when he passed by the door of a bookstore in Apguting, should he go in and have a look? By the way, he should buy some books on musical instruments, and he should start trying guitars and other things.
Jin Zhongming can't delay too much time, he still has a job tomorrow, and if he wants to go to the bookstore, he can come back in a few days, and now he must buy it quickly and leave, so he asked the location of the instrument book and walked over directly.
However, it turns out that the bookstore is a common scene in TV dramas, where there are always some sudden or accidental events that make people have to change their plans.
"Hello everyone, I'm Pani who shines brighter than a mushroom!"
When I passed by a place called the English Corner, a very standard Korean sentence came from it, which made Kim Jong-ming instantly stupid!
He had often heard Sika or Seo Hyun himself say that he might often come to the bookstore in Apgujeong to read and study at this time of the evening, but he had never heard that Huang Meiying would come here.
And the impact of this sentence itself is also very large, how did she come up with this rhetorical technique?Silly, but I have to admit that it is also very cute, well, stupid and cute things are always very marketable, it seems that Huang Meiying later became a stupid T in Girls' Generation is by no means accidental, it should be the image of the company's planning. Selling cuteness, there is still such a thing?
Jin Zhongming stood at the door of this English corner without a door, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go in and say hello.
"Hello, Pani. After Jin Zhongming walked into this corner, he found that there was only Pani alone.
"Hello, Zhong Ming oppa, did you hear my voice come in?" Pani's words were very logical, and it seemed that she was not really stupid.
"Yes, you're practicing Korean, right? I'm already fluent!" Kim Jong-ming gave a thumbs up.
"Really, I thought it was bad all along? I've been practicing according to the words in the Korean book, did I read it well?" asked Pani with a wink.
"Korean reading?" Kim Jong Ming was speechless and had a little bad thought, he instinctively took the Korean teaching book in Pani's hand, and saw the word gem written on it.
"I'm Pani shinier than a mushroom!" Pani said proudly, repeating his Korean language proudly.
"That Nian Jewel. Kim Jong-ming embarrassedly corrected her mistake. "Of course, I think mushrooms are cute, too. ”
"Did you mispronounce it again?" said Parney, smiling wryly, and sat down.
"Zhong Ming oppa, can I call you Wood?" Just as Jin Zhongming was about to comfort this pink control, the other party took the initiative to speak.
"Well, of course. Jin Zhongming smiled, nodded and agreed. Wood is also his name written on various documents in the United States, and there is no reason not to let others call him, and besides, Pani is from the United States, so he may be more suitable for this kind of title.
"Wood, Xiuying and Yuna both told me, you said that whoever will make their debut will definitely not be wrong, so do you say that I can make my debut? I can't learn Korean, and the teacher always tells me that if I can't speak Korean well, I will definitely not be able to make my debut. ”
Jin Zhongming was stunned, he was poked in the softest place in his heart by Huang Meiying's Wood, although in the United States, many classmates, teachers and friends will open their mouths to call him Wood, but in South Korea, Huang Meiying is the first person outside his family to call him so, and this title makes him instinctively resonate.
"Is it really hard?" said Parney, who was clearly mistaken and became uneasy.
"No, you're going to make your debut. Kim Jong Ming came back to his senses and immediately reassured Pani.
"Isn't it comforting me? That's great! Anyway, where did you and Sika live in Los Angeles in the first place?"
Pani's thoughts turned quickly, and Kim Jong Ming was about to comfort her a second ago and tell her what the reason for her debut was, but in the blink of an eye, Pink Control began to celebrate, so that Kim Jong Ming couldn't keep up with her at all. No, her topic ended up in Los Angeles.
"Me, my home is in that Korean community on the west side of Sunset Boulevard, what about you, Pani?"
"I'm very close to you, I went to St. Louis Elementary School. Pani responded excitedly.
"Really? It's funny, you know, when I was in elementary school, I went to St. Louis Elementary with the Boca Elementary baseball team and beat your baseball team. ”
"But why don't I remember you? I was a cheerleader on a baseball team. ”
"There are more than 400,000 Koreans in Los Angeles, and we are in a Korean community, and there are a large number of Chinese Americans, so it's normal to not feel when you meet, or to forget when you meet. Jin Zhongming explained very seriously.
"Indeed, I can't imagine that I was so close when I was a child. Pani also nodded with a sigh, it is indeed difficult for people to have an inquiring mind about fate.
"Didn't Sika talk to you about this?" asked Jin Zhongming curiously.
"We also talked together, but often when we talked about some big stars or cosmetics, we rarely talked about anything else. Pani was a little embarrassed.
"You should have been born at UCLA Medical Center, right?" Mr. Kim tentatively continued the conversation.
"That's right, Wood, how do you know?" said Parney, curious, indeed.
"I, Sika, and Krystal were all born there, and it's the closest big hospital to us, and it's where the best obstetrics and gynecology department in Los Angeles is located, and your family should be in good condition, so that's why I guessed so. Jin Zhongming's words were so well-founded that he believed them himself.
"Turns out all four of us were born in the same hospital!" Palney's eyes were already starting to bloom.
"Ha~, how about it, come to my house for the New Year this year, right? Kim Jong Ming tried to invite Pani, who never came home for the New Year.
"I'm so sorry, but I've already told Taeyeon to go to her house together, and I talked to Kim's mother yesterday. ”
"That's a shame, anyway, I wish you a happy new year. Jin Zhongming decided to get up and take his leave.
"What are you going to do Wood?" asked Parney curiously.
"I'm coming to the bookstore, what do you think I'm here for?" Kim Jong Ming was cute by Pani again.
"What books do you want to buy? I'll help you find them." ”
"Well, I'm looking for a few books on learning some musical instruments, mainly guitars. ”
This chance encounter between the two ended quickly, without waves. If there's any point, it's that the two have become a little more familiar.
When he returned home, Jin Zhongming put the new book on the computer desk and immediately turned it upside down.
"Wood, who won today?" Krystal came out of nowhere, she jumped up and lay on Jin Zhongming's back.
"Well, it's promoted. Jin Zhongming didn't care that there was still a person lying on his back, and continued to look for things seriously.
"What are you looking for?" asked Krystal, trying to prop himself up with his arms.
"Looking for photos from your childhood, I remember a picture of you being scared to cry in a diaper. Jin Zhongming casually perfunctory.
"Is there a picture like this? That vicious woman has bullied me since I was a child. Krystal jumped off Kim's back and began to help find it.
"I found it! I haven't seen it for a long time, and it's already covered with a layer of dust. Kim Jong Ming took Krystal's hand and wiped the album box in distress.
"Ahh
"This is it. Jin Zhongming didn't care about the gray handprints on his face, nor did he care about the hot heating in the house, he just sat on the edge of the bed in a cotton jacket and a cotton hat, and directly began to look through the photos. There are three heavy photo albums in the box, most of which are film photos, and even a few black and white photos, all of which are photos of him when he was a child.
"Well, I was so beautiful then!" Krystal said excitedly, pointing to a baby photo.
"First, keep your gray finger away from the photo, even if it's through a layer of plastic; second, this is not you, this is the vicious woman you said; third, Krystal, don't self-hypnotize, you were indeed a little ugly when you were a child, but don't be inferior" Jin Zhongming didn't finish speaking, and there was another gray handprint on his cheek.
"That's the picture. While playing with Krystal and rummaging through photos, Kim finally found his goal - a group photo after the game with the St. Louis Elementary School baseball team.
"Wood, you were handsome when you were younger! Krystal immediately found Kim Jong-ming, who was standing in the center of the photo with his knees bent.
"Is there anyone you know here?" Jin Zhongming chatted with the little crystal princess as he searched for his target.
"Of course, the freckled Roaldy, and the big fat Carlo, these two often come to our house to play, I know very well, I don't know how the two of them are now? Carlo with good grades should have gone to college, right?" Krystal babbled about her poor Los Angeles past, and Kim Jong Ming had found her purpose.
"You're missing a person, someone you still know. Jin Zhongming finally raised his head and touched the head of the little crystal princess, which indicated that his mood was very relaxed now.
"Which one?" Krystal squeezed into Kim Jong-ming's arms, she was so clingy.
"This!" Kim said, pointing to an Asian girl in a cheerleader uniform in the photo.
"Who's that? a fat yellow man!" asked Krystal curiously. "I don't know anyone like that. ”
"Pani!" Jin Zhongming wisely ignored the three words Huang Fatzi and told her the truth straightforwardly.
“”
“”
"Wood, let's go to dinner!" the little crystal princess easily jumped off the edge of the bed and ran away.
