Time passed suddenly, and before I knew it, it was March 15, 2004, which was the day when Zhang Chengyuan retired.

refused all his friends to come to the border to pick him up, and Jang Sung-won only asked his agent Park Byung-yeol to accompany him, and then returned to the free and prosperous modern society in a low-key manner. In fact, he can't be high-profile even if he wants to. The entertainment industry is changing, and although Park Byungyeol has made unremitting efforts, the long time of two years has still made the public forget about him. There may only be a few die-hard fans who can still remember him.

Based on this consideration, Jang Sung-won and Park Byung-yeol did not hold a press conference and announce their return with great fanfare, but chose to return to Seoul in a silent way. As for Zhang Chengyuan's future development and whether he will never be able to rise again, neither of them is worried.

On the way back to Seoul, Park Byung-yeol first asked Jang Sung-won about his situation in the barracks, and seeing that he was not in the mood to answer and just shook his head, he changed the topic and talked about the changes in South Korea, especially the entertainment industry, in the past two years.

The entertainment industry is bizarre, and many topics that attract public attention and hot discussions break out every year, and the same is true in the past two years. For example: Kim Nam-joo's plastic surgery incident, S.E.S's disbandment, the hit of TV series such as "Winter Love Song" and "Dae Jang Geum", Jang Nara's rapid ascension, and Boa's shine in the Asian music scene...... TVXQ's debut is varied, and there are many more.

However, Zhang Chengyuan does not pay attention to these, but just listens to them as interesting stories, and what he really cares about is the news or news related to his relatives and friends. For example, Lee Hyori swept the major music charts in the second half of 03 and won five music awards at the end of the year; Ok Joo-hyun continues her singer activities while hosting the radio program "Starry Night"; Li Zhen and Cheng Youli are now both developing in the entertainment industry, becoming actors and MCs; Although the three of them are not as radiant as Lee Hyori, they have all achieved very good results.

In addition, Kim Tae-hee starred in the TV series "Dream Screen" and won the Best Newcomer Award at the 2003 SBS Acting Competition; Ha Ji Won's "Empty is Color" received an enthusiastic response among young people after the screening, and she also won the Best Actress Award at the MBC Acting Awards for the TV series "Tea Mother"; Moon Geun-young is active in the film and television industry, starring in the movie "My Little Bride" is about to be released; Yoon Eun-hye's popularity is high, and her combination is still strong; Yuan Bin's "Tai Chi Flag Flying" was just released last month and had an amazing box office, but it has been plagued by scandals in the past two years...... The two sisters, Zheng Xiuyan and Xiujing, live very well, and the older they get, the more beautiful they become.

All his relatives and friends seemed to be doing well, which made Zhang Chengyuan very happy, thinking that the last time he saw them was during the last military vacation, and about half a year had passed since now, and he was even more looking forward to meeting them. However, there is no need to think that he also knows that they are all very busy, and it is impossible to get together with all his friends in one day today, so he just wants to have a good reunion with Li Xiaoli's four daughters and Xiao Jing today. As for the other friends, he has to find another chance, anyway, he has been discharged from the army, and it will take a certain period of adaptation to work again, so he has a lot of time now, and he is not worried that he will not have the opportunity to get together with other friends.

At noon, Jang Sung-won and Park Byung-yeol returned to Seoul, and Jang Sung-won wanted to go to Zheng's house to reunite with Xiao Jing immediately, so he temporarily separated from Park Byung-yeol and took a taxi to Zheng's house by himself, while Park Byung-yeol went to arrange for someone to take care of his daily chores.

At this time, in the Zheng family, Xiao Jing had already asked for leave and was waiting for Zhang Chengyuan's arrival at home, and her parents and sister were also at home with her, and they also wanted to meet Zhang Chengyuan, who had not been seen for a long time.

Looking out of the taxi window, although the crowds on the streets are more fashionably dressed, overall Seoul does not seem to have changed much, most of the streets are still so crowded and narrow, and most of the buildings are still so rustic and low. Zhang Chengyuan looked at it twice and didn't bother to look at it again.

At this time, his thoughts were like a tide, imagining that Xiao Jing was now more cute and beautiful, thinking that she had written a total of 137 letters to her in the past two years, and his heart was warm. Suddenly, a face as cold as the cold wind of an autumn night flashed in his mind, remembering the scene when she came to see her off for her sister two years ago, and said in his heart: "Xiuyan, this girl is quite good, I should be kind to her in the future and be closer to her." She's also 16 years old this year, and she's going to be a big girl soon, I don't know how she's learning in ** company now? ”

When he came to the door of the Zheng sisters' house, Zhang Chengyuan rang the doorbell. Before he could put his hand down, he heard the crisp footsteps inside, and then the door opened, and a little girl with two pigtails rushed out, shouting: "Brother Cheng Yuan" and jumped up and pounced on him. Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly hugged her gently, shook her twice, and said with relief: "Crystal, you are a lot heavier." Looks like you've listened to your brother. He had written back to Little Crystal and told her to eat well.

Xiao Jing hugged Zhang Chengyuan's neck and said, "Of course! I will definitely listen to my brother's words, but brother, you also keep your promise, you will love me more in the future, you will often take me to play, and invite me to eat delicious food. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Chengyuan's eyes, kissed Zhang Chengyuan's face a few times, and then said: "Brother, you have lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, but I still like the way you look now." ”

These few kisses made Zhang Chengyuan only feel numb, and his heart was infinitely tender, and he couldn't help but kiss Xiao Jing's fleshy little face a few times. One big and one little were happily close, not noticing that there was a couple and a girl staring at them at the door.

The couple smiled on their faces, and they were also happy in their hearts, they had no son, they had regarded Zhang Chengyuan as half a son, and thought that it would be better if they could kiss each other in the future. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but turn their gaze to their eldest daughter. However, their eldest daughter has always been cold to Zhang Chengyuan, and they only know that their idea is just a fantasy.

Zheng Xiuyan looked at it for a long time, and saw that Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing were still making love as if no one was around, so she couldn't help coughing heavily, which attracted Zhang Chengyuan's attention. Zhang Chengyuan realized that his behavior was too rude, and immediately apologized to Zheng's father and Zheng's mother. The Zheng couple didn't mind, but praised him for his straightforward temperament.

Then it was time for lunch, in order to wait for Zhang Chengyuan's arrival, Xiao Jing's family had been hungry for more than an hour, which made Zhang Chengyuan even more sorry. Five people gathered at a table, eating with relish and chatting happily, as close as a family. Especially Zhang Chengyuan's appearance as if he hadn't eaten for three days and gobbled up, which made Zheng's mother feel that her cooking skills were greatly appreciated. And Zheng's father also felt that Zhang Chengyuan didn't care about the image of the artist in front of them at all, and sincerely treated them as a family.

After eating, Zheng's father went out for something, and Zheng's mother cleaned up in the kitchen. Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing continued to frolic, Zheng Xiuyan sat on the side and looked at the book, looking at Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing from time to time.

Zhang Chengyuan was dealing with all kinds of strange questions and requirements of Xiao Jing, and at the same time took the time to glance at Zheng Xiuyan a few times, only to find that Zheng Xiuyan has changed a lot in the past two years. Not only has the height grown by more than ten centimeters, reaching about 160cm, but the characteristics of women on the body are also much more obvious, and it seems to have a little charm of a young woman. Only the pretty face that had always been cold to him didn't seem to have changed much, and it was still so cold. Oh no, she seems to have become a little more handsome, her teeth that used to be slightly defective are now neatly arranged and white as snow, and besides, her complexion is much fairer.

Zhang Chengyuan looked at Zheng Xiuyan and couldn't help but praise: "Bing girl, you have been much more beautiful in the past two years, there must be a lot of boys chasing you, right?" ”

Zheng Xiuyan was ashamed, angry and strange, she didn't expect Zhang Chengyuan to talk to her like this, he used to be cold and arrogant and strict to her, if she wasn't sharp enough, how could she feel his cold face, faint but sincere love? Sometimes she is really envious and even jealous of his unbridled and unrestrained care for Little Crystal. However, the tone in which he spoke to her today did not seem to be bad, at least not as cold as before, so maybe she and he could become closer.
