Chapter Seventy-Three: The Bitter Dream Chaser
Xu Canhao woke up the next day, opened his eyes, and found that the sky was still very dark, and he felt that the time might be too early. The www.biquge.info got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and pulled back the curtain that seemed to be made of velvet.
"It's snowing." Xu Canhao looked at the world that was already dressed in white and said to himself. The belated snow continued from early morning to early morning, which made the people of Tokyo who were looking forward to the Christmas snow and the snow to welcome the New Year have a lot of complaints.
Xu Canhao pulled the door frame and did thirty or forty pull-ups, then rested his legs on the chair to do push-ups, and hooked his toes to the bottom of the bed to do sit-ups. Covered in fine sweat, he took a shower, put on a bathrobe to play inside, and ordered breakfast. I turned on the TV and changed the station randomly. Switching around, there are only reruns of last night's low-brow comedy and morning newscasts, or the occasional channel or two that shows a beautiful woman leading you to do aerobics. turned off the TV, Xu Canhao went back to the bedroom and took off his bathrobe to change clothes. Just put on socks and pants when the doorbell rang. Hurriedly fastened his belt, put the racer-shaped tank top that he had worn all year round onto his shoulder, and went to open the door.
"Oh~wa.suo (coming)?" Xu Canhao saw that it was three little girls, so he put down the padlock and moved sideways to get out of the way.
"Oppa, the morning class (Xu Canhao assigned daily homework to the three little girls, morning voice exercises, extended breathing and other training) has been completed, I'm so hungry~" Yun'er walked in with her shoulders down, bowed her head and walked in, waving her hand casually, which was considered to have been said hello. Sitting on the sofa, waiting for Xu Canhao to rescue with food.
"Oppa, it's snowing and cold outside, go get dressed." Xu Xian stuffed a bottle of goat milk he bought last night into Xu Canhao's hand, sat down next to the listless Yun'er and turned on the TV.
And, Kim Taeyeon, when the door opened, saw Seo Chan-ho shirtless, he immediately turned sideways with a stiff expression and wanted to leave the door. But I felt that it was not very generous to do so, and I stood still again, unable to advance or retreat.
"Taeyeon, is there anyone else behind?" Xu Canhao saw that the little girl hadn't come in yet, and after putting on the vest, he looked at both sides of the corridor.
Kim Taeyeon took this opportunity to bow her head and bend down, and slightly embarrassed from under Seo Chan-ho's arm into the living room.
Xu Canhao, who reacted, closed the door, shook his head with a smile and said to himself: "Hehe, little girl, it's really outside~"
After a while, Xu Canhao was dressed and his breakfast was delivered, and there were two dining cars. The variety of breakfast and the beauty of the appearance make the girls who are too lively together on weekdays not say a word at the table, just to quickly eliminate the enemy in front of them.
"Yun'er, don't swallow it whole with your mouth open. You have a bad stomach and often overeat... Ah, girl, what about you, you are not allowed to eat! Xu Canhao stood up and snatched half of the fried shrimp crackers dipped in sour cream from Lin Yun'er's mouth. Is. Don't fall into gastrointestinal problems at a young age, crying when it hurts. "Xu Canhao, as an elder, is away from home, and he feels obliged to take care of the girls responsibly. After speaking, he threw Yun'er into the remaining half of the shrimp crackers into his mouth, and he also thought that this was delicious, especially the silky sour cream on top. It took a lot of arm strength and time for the chef to whip the original milk to such a delicate degree.
Lin Yun'er pursed her mouth, her face full of grievances, and looked at Xiaoxian beside her.
"Ernie, you've eaten a lot." Xu Xian couldn't stand Yun'er's glittering fawn staring, so he had to be defeated, saying, "At most... Give you another cauliflower at most? β
"Eh~ Eat it yourself!" Seeing that she couldn't get the meat she wanted the most, Yuna got up and picked up the orange juice and went to watch TV. She never thinks about Kim Taeyeon, who is like a good daughter in front of Xu Chanhao, at least on occasions where Xu Canhao is there, she doesn't even think about it.
"Hmm~ We'll go to the company after dinner (S.M's branch in Japan, officially listed in 02, is now equivalent to serving Bao'er alone). Didn't you shout all day long that you couldn't see Bao'er's seniors, Sister Bao'er, let's go and surprise her today. After speaking, Xu Canhao wiped his mouth and drank the remaining orange juice in the cup.
"(Really)?" Yuna turned around, leaned on the back of the sofa and asked excitedly.
"Ye~ Long live Sister Bao'er!" Xu Xian lifted a small sausage with a fork and waved it above his head.
"Ah~ girl, it shouldn't be, long live obba! Is that so? Xu Canhao looked at the two forgetful little girls, dissatisfied with his sister's brother-forgetting behavior. Seeing that Xu Xian ignored him, Xu Chanhao had no choice but to speak: "It's still our Taeyeon who is the best, obedient, and knows how to care about people." Unlike some people, when they see someone, they forget about someone. As he spoke, he gave the green apples on his plate to Taeyeon, who likes to eat them.
"Huh~ stingy ghost. Yesterday, my sister asked if we could meet Sister Bao'er, and she was happy for a long time. Yuna took the remote control, turned around again, and choked two people with a word.
Handing Taeyeon a tissue, Seo Chan-ho glared at the naughty bag Lin Yoona on the sofa and said, "Watch your TV, your mouth is big and there is no zipper." β
"Baa (this voice is really hard to describe in any words)~" Yun'er rolled her eyes at Xu Canhao and spit out her little pink tongue, took the pillow as a pillow, and turned back to watch TV.
Boa originally planned to release a new single "be.the.one" earlier this month, but due to a later collaboration with Seo Chan-ho, it was changed to an EP release plan for three songs. The release date is scheduled for mid-March. So, she's staying alone in Japan now, either practicing dance, filming commercials, or participating in singing parties.
Xu Canhao and his party, except for the two incompetent assistants, are now standing in front of the S.M branch on the border between Shinjuku and Shibuya, near the suburbs. Although it is close to the suburbs, it is still bustling in Tokyo, where it is difficult to buy an inch of land. In addition to the main administrative building, the company has only two small practice rooms and recording studios converted from old warehouses.
Xu Canhao and his colleagues visited the entire administrative building under the guidance of Cui Dong-il, the president of the branch, and listened to the brief work reports of the main cadres here, as well as the development plan of Bao'er. Subsequently, he proposed to take a look at the company baby who supported the Japanese market alone, the great hero, the "daughter" of Li Xiuman.
"Wait, President Choi." Xu Canhao stopped the branch president who was about to push the door, and then turned around and said, "Shh~ Don't make a noise everyone, give her a surprise." Ignoring President Cui, who had a complicated expression, Xu Canhao opened the door lightly, led the girls who were like thieves, and quietly looked inside.
Is Boa happy and has an auditorium-sized practice studio on her own? Perhaps in the eyes of trainees of the same age, Bao'er's predecessors are lucky. However, when Xu Canhao saw a lonely dancer in the empty warehouse, he understood a lot of things at the moment when he was sweating alone. For example, why don't you turn on the music, but occasionally count the beats and dance silently? 'Little girl, you must be afraid that the music will be amplified in this, making this place more empty, making yourself small and lonely, so you don't dare to open it. Why do you have no activities scheduled, but you still have to stay here and practice alone, not go shopping, buy some things that my daughter's family likes, and eat some happy food? Maybe it's for the sake of dreams and cherishing hard-won success. Or is it a fear of the familiar and unfamiliar world and people outside? Xu Canhao is looking for the most reasonable, most understanding and understanding of Bao'er's various unreasonable behaviors.
Everyone stood by the door for a long time, and whenever President Cui wanted to speak, they were stopped by Xu Canhao. Until Bao'er stopped what Xu Canhao saw as masochistic training, sat in the center of the room, and drank water. Xu Canhao pushed open the door and walked in first.
βbravoοΌ The dancing is getting more and more subtle, Bao'er. Xu Canhao slapped his palms twice and walked towards Quan Bao'er, who twisted his head and was stunned.
"Senpai!" Bao'er jumped up in surprise, changing her previous malaise and fatigue. "Ah, no, Chanhao oppa, hehe~" Seeing that Xu Canhao pretended not to like it, he quickly changed his words and trotted to him.
"Hmm~" Before anyone arrived, a strong smell of plaster first reached Xu Canhao's nose, and he involuntarily frowned and twitched his nose. "How much did you post?" Xu Canhao's tone was not very good, and he pulled Bao'er closer and counted the bulging places on her back.
Bao'er was silent, letting Xu Canhao act a little rudely, with no joy or sorrow in her heart.
Xu Canhao took a long breath and said without emotion: "Why don't you take care of yourself, you have to be so yourself, is this the only way to succeed?" β
"Hehe, oppa, thank you. I know you genuinely care about me, just like Sister Yibin (Bao'er's assistant agent). Quan Bao'er stepped back and pulled up the clothes that fell off her shoulders, her expression a little gloomy.
Xu Canhao looked at Bao'er, who still wanted to hide it, and didn't dare to look at his own, walked up, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, stared at her eyes and said, "Girl." I know you're tired, and so is your heart. Learn to give yourself time and learn to release yourself. You're still the same as before, how many people will feel distressed by this? β
Bao'er's eyes turned red, she wrinkled Xiaoqiong's nose, forced herself to hold back her tears, and showed Xu Canhao a smile that was not ugly. "Well, I will." After speaking, he winked at Xu Canhao, who was facing him, and covered up the wetness.
The onlookers next to him were very interested in not bothering, and when both of them laughed, President Cui stepped forward to round the scene with a smile and pulled some words.
Then, Xu Canhao introduced his group to Bao'er one by one. During this period, of course, the three girls cheered excitedly, and after the four of them chatted, they threw the others aside and became an independent small circle.
"Bao'er, you haven't traveled for the past two days, so give yourself a vacation. Accompany us and give us a tour guide? Xu Canhao saw that the time was approaching noon, and couldn't help but interrupt the croaking of a few ducklings.
"Okay!" Bao'er, who was chatting happily, replied cheerfully. "Actually, though, I'm not familiar with Tokyo." Bao'er whispered a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Xu Canhao could fully understand the helplessness and bitterness, and he had also experienced it. As you can imagine, a little girl goes back and forth between the company's TV stations every day, or wanders around the major stores, but she never has time to pay attention to the scenery around her. It's either changing clothes and makeup in the car, or taking a break every minute. Even the occasional outing and shopping must take advantage of the lack of people, coming and going in a hurry. When Xu Canhao was stunned, the four girls chatted again, and Che Shulan and President Cui were also talking about Bao'er's schedule.
Xu Canhao cleaned up his mood, raised his smile, and said to the four girls: "Okay, Bao'er will go change clothes first, we will wait for you." In the next two days, let's follow us and have a good time in Kyoto. Let's do it! After speaking, Xu Canhao picked up Bao'er's kettle, towels, backpack and other things on the ground, and pulled Bao'er out of the small circle of four.
"Oppa, can we go and see Sister Bao'er's dormitory?" Xu Xian took Xu Canhao's arm and asked with a small round face.
"Yes, oppa~ Let's go and have a look, and we can also help Sister Bao'er clean up the room." Yuna thought she had thought of a perfect excuse that made sense, looked at Xu Canhao with a glittering look in her eyes, and grabbed his other arm.
"Teacher," Taeyeon called out boldly, but was immediately glared back.
"I said one last time. Brother Chunyuan is your teacher, and I don't have the qualifications to be a good teacher. I'm just taking you with me now, so that you have more opportunities to get in touch with the stage and accumulate some contacts. Some of the techniques and assignments I teach you can only be counted as my experience, and you will only learn them. Life, life is your biggest teacher, only by experiencing different feelings in life, integrating it into singing, dancing, you can be regarded as standing on this way. Xu Canhao once again said these words in front of several people, so that Bao'er on the side kept nodding in agreement. It's okay to call my brother or a senior, but I can't take on the responsibility of a teacher right now. Okay, you guys can go if you want, hurry up! Xu Canhao turned around and waved his hand to let the little girls leave. Suddenly, he turned around and said, "Taeyeon, be clearer, where have you been in the past when you were mighty and domineering?" Xu Canhao couldn't help but laugh to himself. And Kim Taeyeon, who is easy to blush, has a face like an apple at the moment, red and puffy, pink and tender, which makes the people around him quite moved, and wants to reach out and pinch it, if it is best to take a bite.
Taeyeon seemed to feel the heat on her face, and after quickly bowing to Seo Chan-ho, she hid behind Boa.
Seeing this, Xu Canhao smiled and shook his head, and walked towards Cha Shulan and President Cui. He also had to make arrangements for the itinerary of this group of people, and at the same time ask President Cui for a qualified tour guide.
