Chapter 111: Can You Hear Me?
"Naocan, hard work!"
"No, Li PD, you are working hard, you have stayed up so late these days, you have to pay attention to your body."
"Well, everyone is the same, for the good of the show, but you just came in and let you fight so hard, I still feel very guilty!"
"No, it should."
It's one o'clock in the morning, and in the editing room where the transparent program team is located in the KBS building, as the work comes to an end, several men in the editing room are sitting or standing, and begin to pack up their things and prepare to leave. Kang Zhichan fell behind, and the main PD of the transparent man, Lee Tae-heon, waited deliberately, and after encouraging him, patted him on the shoulder, and separated at the exit of the building.
The refreshing night breeze blew from afar, and the sparse stars loomed in the sky, Jiang Zhican rubbed his face, exhaled, and then took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, walked to a nearby street, stood in front of the agreed store and waited for a while, a light red car stopped in front of him, he pulled the car door, and instead of sitting in the co-pilot, he went to the back seat.
The car drove slowly, he opened the window, bent his chin and looked out the window at the night scene, without speaking.
In fact, he didn't know what to say. The words that have come to mind since he received the text message last night have all disappeared at this moment, and he can only look out the window to avoid the embarrassment of being speechless.
"Do you want coffee?" He didn't speak, so she spoke first, holding a can of coffee in her right hand and handing it back.
"Thank you, Taeyeon-san." He took it, opened it and snorted slowly, the wind blew in through the window, he lowered his eyes, and didn't say much.
"It's hard work, isn't it?" She continued to ask, driving the car through the silent streets, neither fast nor slow.
"Well, it's okay, it's not particularly hard, after all, it's what I like." He replied.
She heard the words, didn't speak again, the car quieted down, she put on a piece of music, it was the piano theme song of the popular Korean drama "Yizhimei", the melody is beautiful and sad, in such a quiet night, it is particularly fascinating.
"Have you seen this show?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, but there shouldn't be many people who don't like this show, after all, it's the best TV series of the year."
"Yes, the classic drama of 08, I was only in my twenties at that time." She said melancholy, with a hint of nostalgia.
"It's still twenty generations." He couldn't help but say.
"The second half of the twenties." She corrected, word by word, as if she was frowning and eating a bowl of greasy and rich seafood noodles after a full meal, revealing reluctance and helplessness.
"And the child's face." He reminded.
"You seem to be too."
He stopped talking, vaguely aware of the other party's meaning, and couldn't tell whether he was lost or clear, but probably calm. The car was quiet again, and after the piano music was played, Kim Taeyeon didn't continue to play the music, but stopped the car, waved his hat on his head, and walked to the lawn next to it.
He got out of the car and walked behind her, the street lamp stood silently not far away, faintly flies and insects flew near the lamp tube, and a glass floor lamp was installed on the edge of the grass, reflecting the surrounding green grass in a faint blue color. A few landscape trees were planted on the lawn, which were neither tall nor short, and the branches and leaves were quite lush, Kim Taeyeon walked to one of the maple trees and sat down, the maple leaves were still young, she raised her hand to pick two pieces, and played with them in her hand. Not far from her, there is a marble paved path, leading to a bamboo forest not far away, as far as the eye can see, the bamboo forest is dark in the gaps under the night, it looks particularly gloomy and gloomy, occasionally there are birds calling, but most of them are asleep, silent like a haunted house, which makes people daunted.
Kim Taeyeon glanced at the bamboo forest before choosing to sit down under the maple tree, presumably in the more secluded bamboo forest, rather than under the green maple tree, which had not yet reached its most beautiful moment.
Kang Jichan was standing beside her, intending to sit down cross-legged, but Kim Taeyeon suddenly reached out to block it and motioned for him to sit at the other end of the tree trunk. So they were separated by a maple tree, back to back, so that neither could see the other, but they could hear each other's voices. This way of talking is still new. Kim Taeyeon stretched her legs in satisfaction, with soft grass under her buttocks and a solid tree trunk behind her, and she looked up at the maple leaves in her eyes, staring at the night sky for a long time through the gaps between the branches. There were no stars or moon in the night sky, but she looked very attentively, and said to Jiang Zhican: "The solid sky is beautiful, isn't it?" ”
"The pure color sky, the pure black ・・・・・・・ Eun, is indeed very good."
"You don't like it?" Kim Taeyeon asked keenly.
"I seem to be liking it from now on."
Kim Taeyeon's laughter came from behind the tree, not as pleasant as a silver bell or like a clear spring, but it had a hearty brightness, like a waterfall hanging straight down, reflecting the crystal clear light in the sun, and like a smooth and traceless mirror casting the light into the deepest part of the heart, dispelling all fog and cold.
Jiang Zhican smiled, looked down at the finished coffee can in his hand, and spun it gently. Then there was a gust of wind in his ears, and he turned his head to see that it was a gift box.
"Yours, onboarding gift." Kim Tae-yeon said in the right voice.
Kang Ji-chan responded, put down the coffee can, took the gift from Kim Tae-yeon, and immediately asked, "Can I open it?" ”
"Whatever you want, just don't turn your head to look at me, I'm not wearing sunglasses now, and I don't have makeup, it's not time for men to see." Kim Taeyeon raised her hand to cover her face and said.
Jiang Zhican nodded, sat upright and lowered his head to untie the gift box in his hand, and then he pouted speechlessly, and continued to untie the small gift box inside, repeating it three times, he finally saw the body of the gift - it was a mechanical watch, a black strap, and a round dial, very beautiful.
"Do you like it?" Kim Taeyeon asked, turning her head.
Jiang Zhican snorted without squinting.
"Pretty obedient." Kim Taeyeon said to herself amusefully, and then said, "Put it on and take a look." ”
Jiang Zhican did as he was told.
"Oh, what a vision I have." Kim Taeyeon commented, then leaned against the trunk of the tree, and after a while, suddenly said, "Hyun-hyun and I quarreled, well, to be precise, it was a cold war." ”
"I can probably guess." Jiang Zhican was silent for a while and said.
"She cares about you."
"I know."
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"I should have been more determined, it's really my fault, she's right."
Jiang Zhican was silent when he heard this, and his lowered eyes showed gloom. He didn't argue with her about who the initial reason was, and he didn't want to discuss how to deal with the cold war between the two women, he just thought about it, and he only knew that it turned out that Kim Taeyeon, as she herself said, from beginning to end, has always had a little affection for him, not to mention liking, let alone loving or not loving.
Thinking of this, he felt so distressed, the damn weightlessness made his face pale, and the sequelae of staying up late gradually worsened, he felt that his brain was confused, and there was a vague tendency to uncontrol the tear ducts, he bit his lip fiercely, licked a trace of scarlet salt, and then gasped silently, covering his mouth with his hand, and forcibly suppressed the sudden surging sadness.
"I'm saying that, you're sad?" After a while, Kim Taeyeon asked in a whisper.
"Well, it's sad." His voice was exaggerated, and he didn't seem sad. Kim Taeyeon bit her finger and calmed down.
"Sister Taeyeon, can you sing a song?"
"Well, what do you want to hear?" She didn't refuse.
"'Do you hear?' I want to hear this."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay, wait until I'm ready." She sat cross-legged, coughed lightly with her fingers pressed into her throat, then pursed her lips, closed her eyes and sang affectionately:
"Even if it's a little pain, tears will come out
The heart is crying out loudly
If passing by your side in front of you
The whole world is you
Only thinking about you
Unable to breathe in front of you
・・・・・・・
I can't even take a step closer to you
Let me wander and make me cry
Like a fool like a child
You might as well just laugh like that
Little by little, it is getting closer
Although it will always be scared
But this love can't be stopped
・・・・・・”
The song is warm and beautiful, drifting slowly in the deep night with the night breeze that slows down. The grass curls softly beside the lamp, and the blue glow is peaceful and mysterious, like a deep ocean of countless beautiful glow sticks. The street lamp in the corner is still standing silently, but the flies and insects are nowhere to be seen, maybe like Jiang Zhican, after being tired, they all slept peacefully, right?
Kim Taeyeon stopped singing, looked down at the maple leaf in front of her, and after carefully tearing it all to pieces little by little, she got up, stepped through the soft grass, and came to Jiang Zhican, looking at the boy in front of her with soft eyebrows and eyes, she exhaled softly, squatted down, raised her hand, slowly stroked his cheek, smoothed out his slightly frowning brow, and then looked at him and whispered to herself:
"I'm sorry, Naocan, I seem to like it a little, more precisely, I'm attached to you・・・・・・ I'm used to waking up every day with your good morning call, and I say "goodmorning", asking me how I slept last night, whether I had any interesting dreams・・・・・・ and I'm also used to telling you my nightmares, telling you about the mess of waking up in tears when you sleep alone. I remember when you told me that the tears left in your sleep are diamond-like innocent treasures, and a manifestation of a person's innocence・・・・・・・ although I think it is coaxing, but I still feel so happy, warm feelings, when you are depressed, someone is willing to listen to your complaints and complaints, even in the middle of the night, when you are sleeping soundly, you pick up the phone without a little complaint, and then talk to you about interesting people, talk about interesting things, talk about stories that others have read that others don't know.
I like the story you told me about the Monkey King and the Zixia Fairy, you said it was a Chinese movie, I went to see it, the picture quality was really poor, but when I saw the line you told me, I couldn't help crying, that sentence' I hope the deadline is 10,000 years', it's really touching・・・・・・・ and Zixia Fairy said, my intended person is a hero of the world, one day he will appear in a high-profile situation, wearing golden armor holy clothes, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds to marry me・・・・・・・ if there is really such a person, there is really such a day, I think, which girl, will not refuse, after all, that is every girl, from the time of youth ignorance, has been accompanied by longing!
I remember when you said this, you told me that you are not a hero, just a nobody, so you probably can't even see the face of the fairy, fortunately, God favors you, can give you a chance to chat with the fairy on the phone, as for how long the validity period of this opportunity can be, you said that hope is one hundred and twenty years・・・・・・・ it is really a good burden, where can I live another hundred and twenty years, besides, where can I be considered a fairy・・・・・・・ but, after hanging up the phone that day, I have not fallen asleep, Thinking about the one hundred and twenty years you said, such a long and long period, really, it is the best and best love story I have ever heard.
I told you, because of my identity as an artist, my few relationships, all of them are pitifully hiding in a dark corner like a thief, cautious after thinking about it, and like a slideshow, a quick glance in the waiting room, a cup of coffee in the car, an occasional flower, a small ornament, it is a great passover to have to be carefully hidden, for fear of showing the media or fans・・・・・・
The fireworks of that day, and the animation you made for me, it is no exaggeration to say, it should be the most attentive and the most vast gift I have ever received, when the fireworks bloom in the sky, when I am in a bad mood and hide in the quilt and watch the animation with my mobile phone, I can't help but think of you, think of the Trojan horse that night, think of the rooftop under the fireworks, think of the candlelight on the dining table, and ・・・・・・ you nodded to me and said that you like my picture・・・・・・・
At that moment, I was moved and moved, but I still rejected you, because I knew that I didn't like you, and even now, I told you so much, but in fact, somewhere in my heart, there is still no you・・・・・・・ I say this, if you hear it, you will be very sad, right? But, I'm sorry, we can't be together・・・・・・・ I'm such a fool, I can't do it cleanly with a simple refusal, and when you received the email that day, it must have been even more sad because of me, right? When you told me that it was over, I myself felt so cruel, just like Xiaoxian said, like an executioner, obviously I didn't love it, but I gave hope, which made you who just like me even more painful・・・・・・・
You must have been sad just now, right? Don't think I don't know, I heard your choking, such a cruel refusal, telling you from beginning to end, I never liked you, I can't believe that I did it, like the precious water that was finally accumulated in the desert, and gave it to my sweetheart, but she pushed it away contemptuously, all the water was sprinkled on the ground, and the water droplets seeped into the sand, and it was sunburned, so long time and hard work, it turned into foam and broke completely in an instant, and whoever I was to change would be very sad・・・・・・・ I did this kind of thing, It's really like a bad woman, a bad Nuna who trampled on her brother's true heart・・・・・・・
But, Nao-chan, I really can't help it! I'm afraid that I will slowly and completely become attached to you over time, little by little, accustomed to your good morning greetings, accustomed to your bedtime stories, accustomed to having your bedtime stories, accustomed to sleeping in the middle of the night, there will be someone to talk to you and chat with you, and make you happy in a different way・・・・・・ it is a very simple little thing, but it is a very precious little thing, because you have never stopped! And this, really, really makes me feel so scared, and makes me afraid that one day in the future, when you propose a formal relationship to me, I will cause you more damage・・・・・・・
Thinking of this, I felt a huge uneasiness enveloping myself, overwhelming myself, and some people kept questioning me in my ear, how could I enjoy the sincerity of others so calmly because of my greed and selfish desires, and did not make a clear reply・・・・・・ during this time, I was talking to you on the phone, and at the same time, I was uneasy, I didn't want you to fail the assessment, and I was worried that the second relationship with you would last for a long time, and eventually cause irreparable pain to you・・・・・・ when you told me the news of your failure that night, I was completely speechless, I just wanted to cry so much that I hung up the phone in a hurry・・・・・・ and when Xiaoxian sent me a text message questioning me, I thought that I must make it clear to you, and I can't let you keep that love anymore. It's really painful to fall in love with someone who doesn't like you, and I shouldn't have deepened your pain.
It's just,Originally, I didn't know when to tell you.,After all, you just failed the assessment.,But soon I knew that you entered KBS and became a newcomer pd.,I know I can't wait.,Your temperament.,Your heart will definitely have thoughts about me again・・・・・・ Well, you're really a weird guy.,Obviously you're usually wilted with girls.,But when you're with me,,It's like you're very bold.,Really,Is it because you like me? ”
Kim Taeyeon's lips curled into a smile and poked his cheek lightly.
"Anyway, I rejected you like this, you should be honest in the future, right? En・・・・・・・ frowned, what are you doing, I just smoothed it out for you, really, do you really like me so much? I'm still sad when I sleep・・・・・・Okay, finally, as Nuna, let's take care of my brother." ”
She talked to herself, then pursed her lips, leaned forward, lowered her head to his lips, kissed lightly, and then was about to get up back, but her waist was suddenly wrapped around her hands, and her lips hurt, so she couldn't breathe at all, only opened her eyes wide, looking at the light that appeared in the gap between the maple leaves, and was completely stunned in the defeat like a mountain.
