Chapter 36 The Word is Destiny
With a squeak, Jin Haoyu slowly pushed open the iron door of the rooftop.
Unsurprisingly, a figure was lying on the guardrail on the side of the rooftop, looking into the distance.
I don't know when the sun has set to the west exudes the last afterglow to shine on the sky and the earth, the fiery red clouds are thin but dense and orderly scattered in the sky, and under the setting sun, the distant sky seems to be on fire, burning at the junction of heaven and earth.
The winter wind is cold and biting, especially at the turn of day and night.
The long black hair of the figure in the distance was blown around at random by the cold wind that did not know the slightest style, and spread out in all directions, and the collar of the apricot-colored cashmere coat that stood up swayed with it, constantly patting the owner's smooth goose egg cheeks like a handicraft.
The two slender legs, wrapped in indigo jeans, seemed to tremble slightly in the wind, but their owners didn't seem to have the slightest intention of moving.
Jin Haoyu looked at the seemingly familiar and unfamiliar figure and was slightly stunned for a moment, and then slowly walked up.
"Xu Xian, a little longer, let me stay for a while and go down."
The slender and tall figure said without looking back when he heard the rustle of shoes rubbing against the ground behind him.
"It's me."
A slightly magnetic male voice came into her ears.
"Ah, it's oppa."
Lin Yun'er seemed to be taken aback by his appearance, and looked back and said.
"Well, what, don't you really want to see me?"
Jin Haoyu regained his former calm and kind face, and said softly.
"A little."
Lin Yun'er turned her head, crossed her arms on the railing, and replied by resting her chin on it while looking into the distance.
Jin Haoyu took two steps forward to her side, and followed her example and looked at the sky on his stomach.
"Do you think I'm scolding you?"
"Maybe..."
Lin Yun'er replied absentmindedly.
"Can't you forgive me?"
"Can't..."
"Why?"
"I don't want to"
Lin Yun'er's eyes seemed to be out of focus, and she didn't stare at anything, but was just in a daze.
"Now, here's for you."
Jin Haoyu took out a can from his coat pocket and handed it over.
"What?"
Lin Yun'er picked it up and glanced at it, and then suddenly laughed and said, "What is this?" Apple juice? Is OPPA an elementary school student? It's naïve. ”
Apple is pronounced the same as apology in Korean, so there is a saying that giving away an apple is an expression of apology, but few people would do such a childish thing these days.
Jin Haoyu stared at Lin Yun'er's face that was laughing incessantly in a slight daze, and in an instant he seemed to have returned to many years ago.
……
"Nuna, this is for you." A tall boy in a high school uniform looked stunned and handed a can of drink in both hands to a very innocent and beautiful girl.
"What is this?"
The beautiful girl stretched out her fair right hand and gently pulled the hair that was blown away by the wind, and then took it.
"Apple juice? Ah, Kim Hao-woo, are you an elementary school student? It's so naïve. ”
The girl who was also wearing the same school uniform as the boy was amused, "Are you apologizing to me now?" Please, a little sincerity, okay? ”
"Then, if you forgive me, I'll invite you to dinner, okay?"
The tall boy said humbly.
The girl sneered when she heard this, blinked her eyes as bright as a fawn, and said, "Ah, don't you see that you have a good way of dealing with girls, and you want to ask me out to dinner?" Yes, I'll give you this chance. ”
……
“oppa? oppa! ”
"Huh?"
Jin Haoyu shook violently and woke up from his memories.
"I'm talking to oppa, why don't you react like you're stupid."
Lin Yun'er withdrew her hand that was waving in front of Jin Haoyu and said.
"Oh, maybe I'm a little tired after recording a day's songs, and I didn't react at once, what did you just say?"
Jin Haoyu shook his head and said.
"I said oppa, your apology is too insincere, I'm not a primary school student, you want to buy me with this, it's too beautiful."
Lin Yun'er seems to have lost her anger, but she just grabbed this reason and wanted to use it to bully Jin Haoyu in turn.
Jin Haoyu looked at her childish behavior and smiled faintly, and said like a ghost: "Then I'll invite you to dinner." ”
He had just finished speaking, but he was stunned again.
"Cut~ I don't want it, who wants to eat with you, I'm different from those women."
Lin Yun'er said with a disdainful face.
yes, you're not like her... Jin Haoyu lowered his head and smiled lightly, thinking silently in his heart.
"Did OPPA think of me Ernie?"
Jin Haoyu was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at her perfect side face that was slightly reddened by the afterglow of the setting sun, and said slightly: "How do you know?" ”
"Guess."
Lin Yun'er lowered her head, brushed the wind-blown hair on her face with her hand, grabbed the railing with both hands, and swayed her body and said, "oppa, you were distracted twice when you just looked at me, I think it's only possible for oppa you to think of me Ernie." ”
"You're so smart, she's not as shrewd as you are."
Jin Haoyu looked at the sunset on the horizon and replied with a sigh.
"Oppa and Ernie turned out to be a couple?"
"Well, sort of."
This time, Jin Haoyu did not evade anything, and bluntly answered this question that Lin Yuna had been trying to figure out.
"Sure enough."
Lin Yun'er nodded as if she had already realized it.
Seeing that she didn't continue to ask, Jin Haoyu couldn't help but ask strangely: "Aren't you curious about the matter between me and you Ernie?" ”
"No, not at all."
Lin Yun'er's answer was much more than he expected, but it was not in line with her previous behavior of always trying to find out the ins and outs from him.
"I, Ernie are married now, I also have a brother-in-law, and you are just my boss now, as long as you don't interact with each other frequently, I am not interested in knowing those past secrets, otherwise I will be more tired of living."
Today's Lin Yun'er is completely different from Jin Haoyu's impression in the past, which really makes him a little unpredictable.
"Well, since you don't want to eat with me, how about you listen to a song? A song that no one has heard but me. ”
Jin Haoyu took out his mobile phone from his arms, plugged in the headphones, and handed over one of the earbuds.
"Do you want to listen?"
"Okay."
Lin Yun'er was stunned for a moment, then took it and stuffed it into her left ear.
Jin Haoyu smiled slightly, put the other earbud on his right ear, and gently clicked the play button on the screen with his fingers.
A melodious, touching and gripping piano accompaniment came out of the headphones with Kim Ho-woo's slightly magnetic voice.
There is no gorgeous band accompaniment, no variety of electronic synthesized sounds, only a crisp and simple piano sound and a man's rough but sincere voice without embellishment and without special vocal techniques.
"When I was twenty years old, I struggled to get through every day."
Lin Yun'er's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Whenever I lie restlessly in bed,"
"I'm worried, what to do tomorrow, what to do tomorrow..."
Her slender eyelashes trembled, as if she thought of her previous self, the difficult and painful times of those two years...
"I can't sleep even if I close my eyes,"
"Every time I am depressed to the point that my heart hurts,"
"Why can't I, why can't I, should succeed..."
She seemed to see herself again who had tried her best but faced many failures, lying on the bed all night, burying her head deep in the pillow, crying in a low voice, cursing this unfair world, and questioning why God was so cruel to her
"Words are destined to be true, words are destined to be spoken"
"I didn't believe it would succeed, I couldn't believe it..."
"Like determination, like thinking,"
"If it will succeed, it will be like a lie,"
"Shake your head..."
She remembered the comfort and encouragement of her father and family in her painful time, and constantly supported her to move forward, but she was deeply trapped in the shadow of failure, and never believed those words, or the wind in her ears
"Then one day, a small but shocking realization rushed to my heart,"
"What to do tomorrow, what to do tomorrow, dreams should come true..."
"In fact, there hasn't been a time when I ran like crazy,"
"I've thought about it, I've encouraged myself..."
Finally, after a period of painful struggle, she finally sorted herself out and started again.
Even if there is no agent to contact her for auditions, even if there is no makeup artist to make up and style her, even if there is no nanny car to pick her up and go to and from the set, she contacts the crew to deliver her experience, she makes up and dresses herself up, although she can only take the bus every day and keep running around to auditions, but she never gives up...
"Words are fateful, words are fate..."
"It will be successful, the moment you see it with your own eyes,"
"I guess I'll believe it..."
……
"The moment you know you're going to succeed."
"Nodding..."
She seemed to see the day she met Kim Haoyu for the first time, the small café, the dinner that changed her fate, and the parking lot where she cried with joy when she finally auditioned again
Suddenly, the man's voice no longer sang, but spoke of RAP, although the voice was low and straightforward, but it seemed to be directly gripping, like the voice of the listener himself
"Like determination, like thinking,"
"If you say it, it will work..."
"I couldn't know, I didn't know at the time,"
She seemed to have seen countless times the faces of PDs and writers frowning and disgusted after seeing their resumes.
"There is no going backward and no moving forward now,"
Countless times, as soon as she turned around, she tossed her resume aside like garbage.
"It was hard for my years to be 20 years old."
Countless times during auditions, the other party didn't watch her performance, and took care of herself, or chatted or played with her mobile phone.
"Don't Stop, Don't Fall,"
Countless times he rejected all kinds of subtle hints and temptations, and lost countless times under improper deals.
"Courage to go my way."
Countless failures, falls, and keeps moving forward again.
"Stories told by the people around you,"
"I really should have listened once,"
"A little story in my heart,"
"It's in my heart right now, and it's fate..."
……
The song for more than three minutes ended slowly, but Lin Yun'er didn't seem to feel it at all, tears had already poured out of her eyes at some point, and the tip of her slightly red nose twitched slightly under the cold wind, but she didn't make any sound, didn't cry loudly, and didn't choke constantly.
She looked into the distance with a calm face, and only the tears rolling down her cheeks told her master's unpeaceful heart.
It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time had passed, Lin Yun'er raised her hand and gently pulled off the headphones, snorted and said, "What a beautiful song..."
Jin Haoyu did not respond, but said as if talking to himself: "When I was forced to drop out of school in the United States a few years ago, I also achieved nothing, I was depressed and decadent, and I was struggling. ”
"It wasn't until the first time I made a piece that I was accepted and adopted, that I realized that there are some things that can only be successful if you try your best to be like a madman."
"Actually, isn't it just me, it's everyone else in the world? As the song says, the challenges are infinite and life is eternal. ”
"Everyone has to face their own difficulties and challenges, and the only thing we can do is to believe in ourselves and keep moving forward."
Lin Yun'er gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her cuffs and asked, "Words are fateful... What does that mean exactly? ”
Jin Haoyu took a deep breath of the cold and cool air in winter, as if he wanted to wash his mind, and said slowly: "Speaking of fate, you can understand it as saying it, what you plan to do even if you want to do it even if you want to do it, it can also be understood that as long as it is what you want, it will appear in your life one day, of course, this is also relying on your own efforts and hard work." ”
"All in all, it's about being confident, working hard, and one day it will pay off."
Lin Yun'er wiped away her tears, took a breath of hot air, and said while warming her hands that were frozen cold by the cold railing.
"Hehe, many people praise you for being smart, and that's right, you're right."
Kim Haoyu replied with a smile.
"oppa, show me this song, meaning I don't want to give up? Are you afraid that I will be scolded by you and give up on myself? ”
Jin Haoyu scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's kind of like that." ”
Lin Yun'er chuckled: "oppa, I'm not a primary school student, how could it be like that, besides, today is indeed my problem, I really haven't practiced singing much in the two years of no activity, and it is normal for my level to decline, and it is thanks to oppa's scolding that I realized my current problem." ”
"Oh? Do you understand that? Then what are you doing alone in this no-man's land? ”
Jin Haoyu asked with a slight surprise.
"oppa, no matter how you say that I'm a girl, I know, but you say that to me in front of so many people, can I be in a good mood, I won't let me relax by myself."
Lin Yun'er pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly.
Seeing that she seemed to be back to her usual appearance, Jin Haoyu was also light-hearted, "Then are you angry now?" After recording the song in a while, you still have to go to the shooting site. ”
"Not yet." Lin Yun'er seemed to be dissatisfied but said with a chuckle.
"What about apple juice?"
"Nope."
"And what about that song?"
"Well, you can barely get through it."
Jin Haoyu said with a smile: "Then come with me, what are you waiting for, the sun will set in a while, it will be even colder, do you want to freeze and catch a cold?" ”
Lin Yun'er left the railing on the edge of the rooftop according to her words, turned around and walked past Jin Haoyu towards the gate of the passage, and said as she walked: "I didn't buy a hot one for such a cold oppa, how can I drink it, it's really senseless..."
Jin Haoyu smiled bitterly, knowing that he was at a loss, and couldn't refute it.
PS: Although there are many lyrics in this chapter, it is also written out of my heart, if you like friends, please listen to "Words of Destiny" - Liu Zaishi & Li Di, I also hope that this song can bring a little motivation to some friends who are also in a confused period with me. I would like to pay tribute to my 25 years of youth that are about to pass away.
