Although I was very reluctant, I had already enjoyed a delicious dinner. Zheng Xiuyan couldn't say it anyway, and she wanted to leave with cookies.

Having made up her mind, Zheng Xiuyan didn't look at the tempting cookies, turned around and jumped off the high chair, and said to the uncle sitting by the window: "Xie Lu, thank you for your dinner, it is very delicious, where is the place to brush the dishes?" "I have been invited to dinner, and out of etiquette, Zheng Xiuyan decided to take the initiative to help her uncle brush the plates, and this is the first time she has taken the initiative to brush the dishes.

Hearing the voice, the uncle put down the book in his hand and returned: "No need, just put it there, I'll clean it up together after drinking this cup of coffee." Also, if you're a trainee at the company next door, you'll have to go, and I think there's not much time left for you to go to class. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, an hour passed unconsciously, and we were going to deduct the assessment results if we were late, I'm sorry, uncle, I'll go first." After saluting her uncle, Zheng Xiuyan turned around and took her schoolbag and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, the bag on that table has cookies, it's not very sweet, it's great for snacks, you can take it." The uncle pointed to the bag that had been placed on the bar early in the morning and said.

"Don't be too busy refusing, you can share this with your friends when you are resting from practice, even if you make an advertisement for my small shop in advance." As if he knew what Zheng Xiuyan wanted to say, the uncle directly said everything.

"Alright then, Uncle Xie Lu." Hearing her uncle's words, Zheng Xiuyan thought about it for a while and accepted it.

"Well, in addition...... Forget it, let's go. Don't be late. You are welcome to come back tomorrow and I want to make some hot dishes tomorrow. Of course, you are also welcome to bring your friends. The uncle seemed to want to say something, so he gave up randomly and invited Zheng Xiuyan instead.

"Okay, I'll bring my good friends here." Zheng Xiuyan, who originally felt that she hadn't eaten enough, heard the invitation of the uncle in front of her, and her eyes lit up. Excitedly replied.

"I'm leaving, uncle, see you tomorrow, ah. By the way, my name is Zheng Xiuyan, and my English name is Jessica. 88, uncle. After speaking, without waiting for the uncle in front of him to say anything, he ran to his company.

When Zheng Xiuyan walked into the back door of the SM company, the uncle's face showed a look of helplessness, and he said a little depressedly: "Uncle? Am I so old, hey, I'm only 20 this year. ”

With that, he drank all the coffee that was about to cool down in one go, and then got up to clean up all the utensils on the bar. Then he went back to the table under the window and continued to read the book. From time to time, I still use a pen to write something on it. The cover of the book reads "Economics". And the author of this book is Samuelson. People who don't know may think that there is nothing, but in the field of economics, this is the only economic book that has been selected as a textbook among the top 10 economic masterpieces, which shows its great influence.

People often have the feeling that when you are engrossed in something, you feel that it is only a moment, but the time has passed a long, long time. The uncle on Zheng Xiuyan's mouth is in this state every time he is studying, and this time, when he came back to his senses, it was already dark outside the window.

The uncle got up and stretched. Looking at the time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Forgot to eat dinner again. Forget it, drink a glass of fruit and vegetables and go to sleep. He said so with his mouth, and did so with his hands. I took out a carrot, a cucumber and a small handful of celery from the fridge, cut them all into small pieces, mixed them together and put them in the juicer, and in a few moments, a cup of coffee-colored fruits and vegetables with a little cloudiness was made.

Drink it in one go, go up to the bedroom on the second floor, rinse it casually, lie on the bed, thinking about this afternoon's events, the uncle sighed slightly.

It's been half a year since I came to Seoul, and although I've gradually integrated into the country and city, I'm still not used to many places, from the previous "Arthur" to the current Lee Jun-hyuk, the change of name has also brought a lot of changes, for example, the cold face that was once jokingly called by his comrades-in-arms can freeze to death has now begun to thaw. The occasional subtle expression and the increase in sighs indicate that he is changing. For example, the once sharp awe-inspiring temperament has now converged invisibly, and a girl who is only about 15 years old has begun to call him uncle.

In fact, Lee Jun Hyuk doesn't know whether such a change is good or bad, but he has always developed by it, because whether it is Arthur in the past or Lee Jun Hyuk now, there are goals that must be achieved. In Lee Jun-hyuk's heart, this is the most important thing.

In fact, the chance encounter in the afternoon was still very touching for Lee Jun-hyuk, who had been in Seoul for more than half a year, and Lee Jun-hyuk had very little contact with people, except for the professors of Seoul National University, the rest were all kinds of staff members who were preparing for the construction of this small building. And Zheng Xiuyan's sudden intrusion brought him a different feeling, and the youth and liveliness brought by Zheng Xiuyan have never appeared in Lee Jun-hyuk. And this is the reason why Lee Jun-hyuk left Jung so-yeon for dinner after she accidentally broke in.

……

When Jung visited again the next day, the gas stove in the café had already been installed. With a gas stove, I can cook a lot of food.

Walking in the door, there was still a sturdy voice playing the piano with a tinkling dong. The difference is that the uncle is not dressed as indecently as yesterday. Although it is still flip-flops and black five-point sweatpants, the upper body has been changed into a loose black long-sleeved T-shirt. Although in Zheng Xiuyan's opinion, there is no sense of fashion at all in wearing black, but compared to yesterday, this dress is more pleasing to the eye.

This time, the piano sound was not interrupted, but the whole piece was completed before stopping.

"Coming?" It's still a deep and nice voice.

"Well, uncle, I originally wanted to bring my friends here, but their school is far away, so I can only find time to come here on weekends, so I came alone." It may be that after the familiarization process the day before, the girl seemed more lively.

"It's okay, I'm going to make steak today, how about it?" may have been influenced by the girl, and Lee Jun-hyuk's tone became a little lively. Well, at least that's what he thinks.

"Steak? Wow! Looking forward to it. "In South Korea, beef is an absolutely high-end product, and wanting to eat a steak is really a luxury for children around 14 years old, so it's normal for Jung so-yeon to feel excited.

"If you like it, sit down, and you'll be fine for a while." Hearing Jung so-yeon's excited answer, Lee Jun-hyuk said.

"Ah, by the way, uncle, this is the wind chime I made with my mother and sister last night, handmade, oh, give it to you, even if it is a gift in return for thanking you for inviting me to eat." Probably because of the steak, Zheng Xiuyan was in a completely different state from the quiet state of the previous day, and she sat in front of the bar and took the initiative to start the topic.

"Then thank you, I'll hang it on the door in a moment." Lee Jun Hyuk replied, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.

"Uncle, I was in a hurry to go to class yesterday, but I just introduced myself and ran back to the company, and I still don't know your name. Would it be nice to do it all over again? Without waiting to finish speaking, the little girl continued.

"My name is Zheng Xiuyan, my English name is Jessica, I am 15 years old this year, born in 89. He is a trainee of SM company. It's your turn, uncle. ”

"Me? Oh. My name is Lee Jun Hyuk. ”

"I said so much, and you said your name. It's not fair. I have to go on. Zheng Xiuyan was waiting for him to continue, but after waiting for a while, she realized that the hateful uncle in front of her didn't mean to say anything at all.

"My name is Lee Jun-hyuk. It should be born in 83. He is 20 years old. ”

"Liar!"
