Chapter 9: The Eve of the Final
Chapter 9 On the eve of the final
“oppa?”
Looking at the strange and familiar figure in front of her, Park Ji-yeon stood stunned and hesitated for a moment before calling softly.
Immediately, he was carefully looking at Li Erya in front of him, compared with the outline in his memory, the cold temperament on Li Erya's body is obviously thicker, but the lines of her face are not as stiff as before, and today she looks a little softer, although her skin is not as fair as before, but it has become a very healthy wheat color.
If Park Ji-yeon really wants to describe the changes in Li Erya in words in the past two years, then the thought in her heart at the moment is that this big boy who has been called 'oppa' by herself since he was a child now looks more calm and can give people a sense of security.
"What? Don't know me? Li Erya looked at Park Ji-yeon with a smile and asked rhetorically, as if she didn't think it was enough, she raised her arms and spun around in place and added, "I'm the real Li Erya, like a fake."
This girl looked timid from just now, and he naturally knew what was going on, it was nothing more than that she hadn't seen each other for too long, and she seemed a little scared.
"No, the OPPA has not changed as much as I imagined, it's just... It's just ......" Park Ji-yeon stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, saying that she was probably running out of words when she said it back, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and finally her face turned red after a while.
"It's just hard to accept for a while, right? After all, it has been gone for more than two years, and the first time we met" Seeing Park Ji-yeon's reaction, it made Li Erya cry and laugh, and hurriedly helped her say what she wanted to say, which was obviously very much in line with Park Ji-yeon's heart, and quickly nodded.
"Hmph, I can't imagine that I haven't seen each other for two years, but OPPA has become very good at talking, right?" After chatting for a few words, the two seemed to have returned to their previous very intimate state, and Park Ji-yeon came over and patted Li Erya's arm and said coquettishly.
"That's, don't you make our family Ji-yeon happy? Will I be okay today? Li Erya said softly with a light smile.
"Huh? Hehe" Li Erya's flattering words made Park Ji-yeon laugh again, and the little girl was silly when she laughed, especially the baby fat on her face that had not been eliminated, which made people can't help but have the urge to take a bite.
"Erya, are you here? What are you doing standing at the door, come in and sit" Mother Park, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, came to the living room and walked towards the two of them at some point.
"You girl too, why don't you hurry up and beckon your brother Erya to come in and sit, what are you trying to do while standing here and smirking" Park's mother came over and warmly greeted Li Erya into the door, and then turned around and reached out and poked Park Ji-yeon's head and taught a lesson, she didn't know the details and thought that her daughter was playing tricks on people again.
"I ...... Hmph" was counted down by her own mother, Park Ji-yeon covered the place where she was poked and sulked alone, stomped her feet angrily and glared at Li Erya, facing her mother who couldn't resist, Park Ji-yeon obviously planned to sprinkle her resentment on Li Erya.
I'm messing with someone.
complained silently in her heart, Li Erya could only spread her hands helplessly and shrugged at Park Ji-yeon with a wry smile.
Seeing Li Erya coming in, Park's mother turned around and prepared to go back to the kitchen, but when she left, she was a little worried and told Park Zhiyan, "Remember to be polite, don't be big or small with your brother Erya, you know?" ”
"Got it" Park Ji-yeon replied sullenly, and Park's mother left with confidence.
The two came to the living room together and sat down on the sofa, and the topic of the chat returned to normal, Park Ji-yeon seemed to be very interested in the game that Li Erya participated in, and she was asking hard, and then kept complaining that the company's requirements were so strict, and she had to catch up with announcements everywhere, and she didn't have enough time to rest every day, and many times she could only squint in the nanny car for a while to regain her spirit.
"I'm fine, oppa, don't you know, several other sisters have fainted, and more than once, but the company doesn't seem to give us the idea of lightening the burden, and there are still so many trips every day" Park Ji-yeon sighed slightly and said, I used to think that idols were very beautiful, but only after my own debut did I know how hard it was.
"How hard are you, this is also the path you chose at the beginning, who told you that you were stupid before and only saw the scenery of idols on stage, or did you have retreated?" Li Erya smiled and touched Park Ji-yeon's head.
"I'm just talking, how can there be someone like you, comfort me and I'll die" Park Ji-yeon slapped Li Erya's hand away angrily, how could he be a brother like this.
"Okay, okay, you can hang a soy sauce bottle on your mouth" Li Erya flatteringly reached out and scraped Park Ji-yeon's face, and immediately asked curiously, "Where did uncle and Hyo-jun go?"
"Grandma has been in poor health recently, and the two of them went to take care of her, and my mother also went, but I didn't go because I went home today" Park Ji-yeon explained angrily, obviously angry yet.
Seeing this, Li Erya naturally flattered Park Ji-yeon again, and the two kept chatting until Park's mother came and asked them to go to dinner.
Before she came to the dining table, Li Erya smelled the aroma of food, looking at the sumptuous food on this table, Li Erya, who had a big index finger, couldn't help but lean over and steal a piece of beef while Park's mother was still in the kitchen.
"Hmm!!! It's delicious," Li Erya said with a look of enjoyment, and Park Ji-yeon, who was following him, saw it, and wanted to reach out and steal it, but as soon as her hand reached mid-air, she saw Park's mother walking over quickly and slapped her hand away.
"How many times have I said Ji-yeon, wash your hands before eating, and don't steal food"
"I ...... He..."was caught by Park's mother, Park Ji-yeon hurriedly wanted to refute, but when she turned her head to see that Li Erya still had the look of enjoyment just now, she had already changed to a good show, but she was stunned and stretched out her hand to value Li Erya didn't say anything for a long time, and finally could only hum angrily and obediently wash her hands.
Li Erya also followed, he just came to the door and met Park Ji-yeon, and when the two passed by, the girl seemed to step on Li Erya in revenge.
"Shhhhh This time it was not light, Li Erya gasped, and when she looked back, Park Ji-yeon, who was still aggrieved, instantly became very proud, and hummed a little song happily, made a grimace at Li Erya's tongue, and immediately ran back to the dining table, as if all the grievances were vented on this foot.
Sure enough, no one can offend a woman, shook her head with a wry smile, and Li Erya returned to her seat after washing her hands and began to enjoy the dinner carefully prepared by Mother Park.
"Erya, when did your parents go out? Will they come back to see you in the finals?" asked Park's mother as she ate.
"Well, just a few days ago, you don't know, the two of them have a very irregular time, I don't think they will come back to watch" Lierya replied vaguely.
"These two guys, their sons are going to participate in the finals, and they don't care at all about being parents" For Li Erya, the unscrupulous parents, Park's mother, who is their friend, can't think of anything to help them excuse them.
In the end, he could only pat Li Erya's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Why don't you go to the scene to cheer you on?" Ji-yeon can also go with you, how can you say that you are also half of Auntie's son"
"Huh? oppa: When did he become your half son? Park Ji-yeon suddenly interjected and asked curiously.
I saw Park's mother staring at Park Ji-yeon with a weird smile on her face and teasing, "You girl, have you forgotten what you used to say when you were a child?" Don't you want to be Erya's bride, if you are his bride, he will naturally count him as half my son? ”
"Mommy !!!" Hearing her mother's ridicule like this, Park Ji-yeon's face instantly turned red, and she screamed in annoyance, and immediately glared at Li Erya, buried her head very low, and ate the food silently, obviously shy.
"Uh...... It was a joke when I was a child, it doesn't count," Lierya explained very awkwardly.
"What, don't you look down on our family Zhiyan?" Park's mother blinked and looked at Li Erya and asked with a smile, while Park Ji-yeon's body on the side trembled.
"........." Li Erya felt that it was better to bow her head to eat and not speak, but she didn't expect that the usually dignified and virtuous Mother Park would have such a quirky side, and Li Erya could be regarded as having seen it.
So the dinner ended in this weird atmosphere, after eating, Park's mother went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks alone, and then came to the living room to watch TV with Li Erya, after all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all major TV stations had specially prepared programs, until I saw more than ten o'clock, Park's mother said to rest, let the two continue to play, and asked Li Erya to stay here today and not go back, the guest room is ready.
In the face of Park's mother's retention, Li Erya naturally couldn't say no, and after Park's mother left, he accompanied Park Ji-yeon to watch TV for a while, but I don't know why it might be because of Park's mother's jokes at the dinner table, which made the atmosphere between the two very awkward, and there was no communication, and it didn't take long for Park Ji-yeon to say that she was going to rest.
Seeing Park Ji-yeon leave the living room, Li Erya thought about it and decided to follow his previous thoughts, he first came to the bathroom to make water with a bucket, and then took a towel and carried the bucket to Park Ji-yeon's door.
"Ji-yeon, are you asleep?" Raising her hand and knocking on the door, Li'er asked tentatively.
"Not yet, oppa, what's the matter with you?"
"Can I come in now?"
"Well, you wait" There was a sparse voice in the room, and Park Ji-yeon immediately said, "You come in"
Hearing this, Li Erya pushed open the door and walked in, and when she looked up, she saw Park Ji-yeon in cute cartoon pajamas sitting on the bed staring at him curiously.
Without saying much, Li Erya came directly to Park Ji-yeon, put the steaming bucket away, then rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Girl, I've been working hard lately, come and put your feet in."
After hesitating for a moment, Park Ji-yeon still put her feet into the bucket as Li Erya said, but as soon as she touched the water inside, she wanted to lift her feet up, but was stopped by Li Erya.
"Hot" Park Ji-yeon said with some grievances, still wanting to stick her feet out.
"It's just that it's hot to have an effect, you wait a minute, soak it first, and I'll help you massage the soles of your feet later," Li Erya said.
Looking down at Li Erya in front of her, Park Ji-yeon's mind slowly fell on him, so she felt less hot.
Feet are a relatively private place for girls, even if they are close relatives, few people can touch them, even with such a close relationship between Li Erya and Park Ji-yeon, this is the first time that Li Erya has touched Park Ji-yeon's feet.
Perhaps because she was stimulated by the hot water, Park Ji-yeon felt that her feet had become very min at the moment, and she seemed to be able to clearly feel the complex lines on Li Erya's palms.
There is always an indescribable feeling in my heart, it is not comfortable to say that it is numb, and Park Ji-yeon doesn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.
After a while, Li Erya wiped Park Ji-yeon's feet clean with a towel, and then massaged the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet with his fingers, which he learned from some seniors when he was in the army, and had a very good effect on relieving the fatigue accumulated in the human body.
But he didn't know that Park Ji-yeon's mind had already flown to the sky at the moment, so how could he still pay attention to what he was talking about.
"Ji-yeon, Ji-yeon? Girl!! After a while, Li Erya realized that something was wrong, and when she looked up, Park Ji-yeon was looking at herself in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't respond for a long time.
"Uh... Yes? Suddenly came back to her senses, Park Ji-yeon looked at Li Erya suspiciously.
"Do you remember what I said?" Glancing at Park Ji-yeon helplessly, Li Erya said.
"Well, remember," Park Ji-yeon replied hesitantly, with a weak expression on her face, and her face was still a little red, she had actually been pondering what Park's mother said before.
Do you want to be a bride for OPPA? Well, that's not a bad thing.
Thinking about it, her face turned red inexplicably, and then she came back to her senses in Lierya's shout.
"You girl" shook her head helplessly, and Li Erya had to talk to Park Ji-yeon in detail at one time.
When she concentrated, Park Ji-yeon realized that foot massage was a very painful thing, and every time Li Erya's fingers were pressed, she would scream in pain.
It had only been a few minutes before she was sweating, but after the pain, she felt very comfortable inexplicably, and a feeling of fatigue continued to invade her brain.
"Okay, you remember what I said, massage yourself more in the future, it's good for your body" Letting go of Park Ji-yeon's feet, Li Erya said, and after speaking, he carried the bucket and wanted to leave.
"Rest well, good night"
"Well, oppa good night" Originally, Park Ji-yeon wanted to say something else, but the exhaustion of her body made her only watch Li Erya leave.
Li Erya walked to the door and turned around, and saw that Park Ji-yeon had closed her eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know what kind of sweet dream she was dreaming.
The moonlight outside the window was faint, the window was slightly open, a breeze blew, stirred the curtains, the moonlight spread from the window, enveloping the girl in it, and the faint light reflected the girl's peaceful sleeping face.
Silently turning off the light, Lier whispered "good night"
immediately left Park Ji-yeon's bedroom, and he has to go back to the dormitory of the program team tomorrow, and he has to rest early.
