Under the acacia tree, beside the ancient city wall, Jiang Zhican calmly looked at the mountains and fields shrouded in the night, as time passed, the first rays of sunlight this morning emerged from the sky, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and followed the ancient stone staircase to climb the mottled city wall.

It is a mountain town on the outskirts of Seoul and is also a famous sightseeing spot, and if you climb the highest peak in the city, Iljangsan Mountain, it is a great place to climb and see the distance. At this time, for example, you can enjoy the best sunrise.

However, the beauty of the scenery has always been a stupid masochistic act that only adds to the sadness. Jiang Zhican did not go to the mountain as he had planned, but leaned against the wall alone, looking at the gray and white mountain shadow between light and darkness in the distance, and pressed the dial button.

"I'm sorry."

After a long wait, the phone was finally connected, and the other party whispered before he could speak.

"Because this will release pigeons?" He asked.

"It's not."

"Huh?" He was surprised.

"It's about the second relationship I mentioned earlier, I think, let's only maintain one relationship, let's be sisters and brothers."

He didn't speak again, and was silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry, but I know that such capriciousness, unilateral decisions without your consent is a very selfish and heartless move. But, I'm sorry, I, I'm going to be impulsive, and after I calmed down, I felt that it was too inappropriate to maintain the relationship between the two countries. It may not have a good impact on you, for myself, or for the two of us in the future. So, I hope you can forgive and understand me... Maybe asking for forgiveness and understanding like this will also make you feel disgusted, right? I feel ashamed to be like this..."

"Sister Xiyan, are you serious, cautious enough?" After a while, he asked in a somewhat dry voice.

"Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time."

It's been a long time, she didn't close her eyes all night, and waited until Jiang Zhican's phone call.

"Then I see." Jiang Zhican whispered, "No matter what, today, I wish you a happy birthday, Sister Xiyan." ”

"Thank you."

"I sent you a document offline using SNS, it's a birthday gift, remember to check."

"Well, that, is there anything else?"

"No, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

The phone hung up, An Xiyan sat at the head of the bed, put the phone on a gift box next to the bed, and then looked at the gift box in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Tonight's plane at ten o'clock, I have to travel for two days, I can't accompany you for your birthday, I won't blame Oba, right?" In the elegant restaurant, Ke Qiuche asked with a faint smile.

"No, Oba, aren't you going to make it for me now, what about my birthday? Bring! ”

She smiled happily, took the gift box handed by Ke Qiuche, and after opening it, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and then looked at Ke Qiuche in disbelief, and asked astringently: "Oba, you are following me?!" ”

In the gift box, several photos of her and Jiang Zhican going in and out of the hotel and kissing on the beach were lying quietly in it, like a sharp knife, inserted into her chest, especially this knife, which was handed by Oba, who she had always been close to, made her feel more shocked and sad.

"It's not tracking, it's just caring about you." Ke Qiuche's expression was still calm, he took a sip of coffee lightly, and asked, "Have a relationship?" ”

An Xiyan bit her lower lip tightly and didn't answer, only staring at Ke Qiuche, her big eyes full of grievance and anger.

"It looks like it's really... You girl, just because you changed companies, because you failed to succeed in being an insignificant idol, you indulge yourself like this? Did you know that if these pictures were put in front of your parents' case, they would kick them out of the house? Stinky girl! ”

A trace of anger flashed on Ke Qiuche's face, and he couldn't help but scold. He didn't expect that Jiang Zhican, who had always been gentle and frugal in front of him and claimed to have someone he liked, would really do it when it came to women. And An Xiyan, a girl who has been so proud since she was a child, really regards the profession of idol as so important, and even the pressure is so great that she washes away the reserved etiquette of being a woman, which is really beyond his expectations at the beginning.

"Being an idol, whether it is a trivial thing or an important thing in life, I have a sense of proportion. Oba, if you don't want me as a sister, then you can show these pictures to my parents! ”

An Xiyan said angrily, getting up and leaving.

"Sit down for me, do you think it's that simple, hide it from your parents, and the world will be peaceful? Don't forget, you pay so much to become famous, and now you suddenly fall in love, do you think there is still a chance? ”

"I didn't say I'm in love, I'm not in that kind of relationship with him!" An Xiyan turned to stare at Ke Qiuche and said angrily.

"It's not that kind of relationship, heh, is it possible that you can still be the same as a man... Yikes! Stinky girl, stand up for me, honestly, what the hell are you crazy about? ”

Ke Qiuche was really angry this time, grabbed An Xiyan's hand, and stared at her seriously. An Xiyan, who saw Ke Qiuche's appearance for the first time, was a little scared, she hesitated for a while, and finally told Ke Qiuche about her relationship with Jiang Zhican. At least, her Oba didn't directly give the photo to her parents, which means that there is still room for maneuver.

"Oh, girl, you are really Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian! If you sleep with a man and don't give him a name, it doesn't matter, but let him be a real and nameless boyfriend for you - it's also a shame that you are a woman, and you are beautiful, if it weren't for my sister, if I replaced it with a younger brother, I would definitely give him two slaps now, and play hooligan to this extent, girl, you are also capable of tossing. ”

After listening to her story, Ke Qiuche smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were gloomy, making An Xiyan shrink her head and step back.

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, you go and break off this relationship, besides, for a period of time in the future, don't meet him if you don't meet him, and when the time cools down, just be an ordinary friend."

Ke Qiuche rubbed his temples, and after a while, he said softly. The tone was flat, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter.

"Oba, this is my private matter, you shouldn't interfere!" An Xiyan refused, and her eyes were glued to the photo on the table, for fear that Ke Qiuche would threaten with this photo. Although she doesn't seem to be a person who can do such a thing, the photos are all taken, which is really bottomless.

"Don't worry, I won't make a fuss about this photo, I was just worried about you, so I sent someone to follow you, who would have thought that it would be such a photo to bring back..."

Ke Qiuche muttered to himself in a low voice, and continued, "Xiyan, I won't say much, you are smart yourself, you should be able to understand." Jiang Zhican, he is not a boy who can be easily touched, it doesn't matter how he is, it's an external factor, and if something really happens at that time, even if he wants to protect you, it's useless. In addition, you should know for yourself, he likes someone else. So don't wade into this troubled water, and get out while it's not too deep now. Don't think I don't know you, you're just close to Jiang Zhican, a kid who likes it, can't talk about it? ”

At the end of the words, An Xiyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and then there was a long silence. Ke Qiuche got up and patted her on the shoulder, and took out a gift box and put it in front of her.

"Birthday present, inside is a contact information, Xinsha Dong Tiger's, he will help you make a single. As for whether it can be popular or not, it's not up to me to decide, so keep it up, Hee-yeon. ”

The memories came to an abrupt end, An Xiyan looked at the business card in her hand, but in the player, a joyful dance song sounded, at this moment, the irony was irreparable.

"Didn't you tell you not to call, why are you disobedient?"

Kim Tae-yeon's slightly reproachful voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, but it seemed to be coquettish.

"It's either disobedient, or there's something I want to talk to Sister Taeyeon."

"Huh? You said. Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, sensitively aware of the tiredness and sadness hidden under Kang Ji-chan's seemingly calm voice, and couldn't help but become serious.

"That is, if I don't pass the PD exam, can I mention it first when the relationship between us ends. I... It seems that I can't take it again. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, as if he could even hold his breath, and then someone answered softly, like a drop of melted ice water, along the icicles under the eaves, quietly falling and disappearing into the snow.

"If only you were born in May."

"Well, what did you say?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, okay."
