Chapter 12: The Camera Girl
In the early summer morning light, Li Jingming was sighing, perhaps he got up not because of the pursuit of clothes, but because the blanket did not stay. At half past eight, with a touch of sorrow, he brushed his teeth and washed his face and walked to the shop below, which was empty, and he opened all the curtains, and the sun poured in so unscrupulously to occupy every corner of the place.
Li Jingming made coffee, put a CD into the machine, and the thick black voice slowly dispersed, melting every cubic centimeter of air here. Ginya Dawson, a singer in her thirties who still has a girlish voice, sings songs that don't grow old either.
Li Jingming, who opened the door, picked up a book after arranging everything, and sat on the window seat on the second floor to read it. He had no business here in the morning, so he didn't open until 10 o'clock in the evening, and there were only six people working here, divided into two shifts, and a store manager, a total of seven people. None of the people who went to work at nine o'clock have not yet come, Li Jingming is also happy to relax for a while, it seems that he is alone to get everything before the business, in fact, everyone else has already cleaned up before leaving at night, he just cleaned up and arranged the arrangement, and enjoyed this kind of long-lost spare time very much. Bai Jiqian and Song Seok-jae had been brought to live in the house in Nonhyeon-dong by Li Jingming last night, and he couldn't wait for a flowery and an American-style sullen show. He was here by himself, a little lonely but quiet. The day in Cheongdam-dong is much quieter than at night, and the window position on the second floor where he sits has a panoramic view of the entire street corner, and before he knows it, his attention has drifted from the book in his hand to the outside.
"Anyone, may I ask anyone?" Just when Li Jingming was outside the amusement, a woman's voice came from downstairs, which was as crisp as a silver bottle bursting, and tactful as the cry of a new warbler.
Li Jingming walked down the stairs, and sure enough, she was a young beauty, less than twenty years old, and her face was childish, but she was also in her prime.
He wears a baseball cap, white short-sleeved and skinny jeans, a pair of canvas shoes, and a camera on his chest. Another backpack is the standard tourist attire. The girl saw Li Jingming coming down from upstairs and pointed to the vanilla ice cream on the brand: "Please give me that, okay?" β
"It's not open yet, sorry." Li Jingming saw that it was a beautiful woman, and his attitude was naturally much better. This is just human nature, not an exclusive attribute of the Appearance Association. A beautiful man doing something meaningless is four-dimensional, which is cute, and an ugly man doing the same thing is faulty, which is nerves. Beautiful women like to spoof is clever and black in the lower abdomen, and ugly women spoof is to be suspicious and annoying, human nature is like this.
Li Jingming's attitude was already very good, but the other party obviously didn't believe it, and pointed to a pot of coffee at the front desk and said, "The coffee is all brewed, why hasn't it opened." β
"Whoever drinks hot coffee in the summer will open when the pot of coffee is cold." Li Jingming said this deliberately.
The little beauty is still hot: "Ah, do you have such a business, I just want to buy that, you hurry up." β
"Huh?" Li Jingming looked at this girl who was obviously much younger than himself, isn't she Korean, why is she so rude? But isn't it Korean that can slip away like this and shout "yes" at people?
Li Jingming was a little amused and said: "Hey, students (that's what the older Korean people are called in their teens), today is Monday, don't go to class and come to the coffee shop to buy ice cream to eat?" "The U.S. has a holiday in June, but South Korea hasn't released yet.
"I don't have to go to school! And you little ghost, if you're taller, you call me a student, don't you know what to call a slave? The woman didn't budge either.
It's the first time Li Jingming has heard others call himself a little ghost, is this a blood in anger? Because of his perennial practice of mixed yuan qigong, his face is much smaller than it actually is, others look at him as sixteen years old, but in the eyes of the other party, he is younger than himself, and the other party thinks that Li Jingming is a high school student working here.
"I'm eighty-six years old, how old are you?" Li Jingming was called a little ghost, and he was also a little angry.
"Eighty-nine!" The other party was stunned for a moment after speaking, "When did you say you gave birth, eighty-six?" β
Li Jingming saw that the other party didn't believe it and took his ID card out of his wallet: "When did I, Li Jingming, deceive the child (all the brothers and sisters in the family are in tears at this moment, have you deceived less?) Isn't this written, 1986. β
"What's your name, Li Jingming, how can this be written with Li Kan?" The other party said with a look of peeping through his little secret: "This is your brother's shop, right?" You even stole his wallet! β
"Li Kan is my real name, you look at this photo carefully, this is me." Li Jingming suddenly found that he felt a little indescribable.
"My brother looks alike, you hurry up and get me ice cream, or I'll tell your brother that you've done something bad when your brother comes." The other party said proudly, and his little nose wrinkled a little arrogantly.
Li Jingming is helpless, anyway, it doesn't take much trouble to get an ice cream, so let's get it, because he likes sweets, he often makes his own food. I took a cup and took a cup of vanilla-flavored ice cream according to the machine, sprinkled colored chocolate needles and resin powder with a small spoon, and Zuihou inserted a slice of chocolate. After getting it done, Li Jingming didn't know how much to price for this, so he handed it over and said directly: "Service (free)." β
"Really, Xiexie." The girl looked at this ice cream that was not quite the same as the one in the picture but was more beautiful, and her attitude immediately became kind, but then she frowned again, although it is free and good, but will this be too high in calories? When she first passed by, she just thought that she was hungry if she hadn't eaten in the morning, and she liked ice cream very much, and she saw the picture of the tempting crime on the recommendation sign at the door. But after I really got it, I remembered that I was about to make my debut, and the company explicitly banned high-calorie food. She took a picture of the ice cream and decided to eat it with a lot of determination.
"What's your name?" Li Jingming also made a copy for himself, and asked casually.
After hearing Li Jingming's question, the girl had ice cream in her mouth and replied a little vaguely, "Jessica." β
Li Jingming didn't hear it very clearly: "The surname is robbery, such a rare surname?" "Could it be the daughter of the Lord of Shadowstreams? (Let's just think Li Jingming played LOL)
βJessicaοΌβ The girl, Jessica, shouted disappetly in English.
Koreans are not really bad like that, but they use Korean pinyin, which is equivalent to "you are the pinyin party, your whole family is the pinyin party" when we chat online, and the Koreans are very good and strong, and their whole country is a pinyin party. They speak English very strangely because they use the pronunciation rules of the Korean language, and they also read Korean words, just like the "sofa" in our Chinese. It's just that there are more English words in their lives, and they are all marked in Korean.
"It's just that you're rude, don't pretend to be a foreigner." Li Jingming said with a smile.
Jessica frowned and said angrily, "Whoever pretends, I'm a foreigner." No, I'm half a foreigner, and no, I'm a dual national and used to live in the United States. β
"I just came back from the United States, and I've lived there for so long, why haven't I seen you before?" Li Jingming's uncle is sick again, and he always likes to tease children. The United States is not the name of a neighborhood convenience store, and everyone can meet it once you go.
"Believe it or not!" Jessica looked at the dΓ©cor inside, completely intrigued.
Lee Ching-myung ate a large piece of his ice cream with a spoon and continued to ask, "Don't you have a Korean name?" β
"Jung so-yeon." Jessica replied nonchalantly.
Li Jingming was stunned, this is Zheng Xiuyan? No wonder he felt so familiar from the start.
Jessica on this shijie is not 10,000 but 8,000, there are too many people with this name, but at the same time, it is this one who is called Zheng Xiuyan. In his previous life, he was an upper-class person and didn't care much about the entertainment industry, but he had a great reputation as a girl, and he also had an impression of the members. However, Lee Jingming, who is in his thirties, is also a thirty-year-old girlhood, and at that time they have already won the highest honor in the Korean entertainment industry.
The girl in front of her is the existence recorded in the book "2020 Traveler's Hitchhiker's Guide" written by a certain god in the future. The full name of this Zheng Xiuyan is "Jessica, the Traveler Must Push, Zheng Zongshou" and "Jessica, the Reborn Must Push, Alba", and they are called the two main goddesses of the East and the West, which is the existence that raises the level of the name Jessica. In almost all the must-kill lists of male protagonists and some female protagonists, these two people have always been in the top few.
Now Jessica, who has not yet developed the aura of a goddess, is taking pictures. Jessica's big hobby is to visit cafes, when she walks outside through the glass, she thinks it's very beautiful, I want to come in and see it, after coming in, the interior layout is really exquisite, and combined with books, the sweet and warm style of other cafes is different, and the atmosphere of knowledge raises the grade here a lot.
Jessica saw some pictures hanging on one wall, including a picture of Li Jingming, who was sitting reading a book in a white shirt and black trousers, with a cup of coffee on a small round table at hand. The sunlight shone obliquely from the outside, shining a misty glow on the photo, as if the person in the photo also had a warm and mysterious liliang.
The date on the wooden frame of this photograph is written on it, July 2004. This photo is even more attractive to the women who come here to spend than the beautiful men in aprons downstairs. The man in this picture reveals nobility in purity, and profundity in elegance, Li Jingming's temperament at the age of nineteen is already very outstanding, which is the credit of forty years of polishing in his previous life. Jessica felt an indescribable sense of familiarity to the people in the photo.
Men have a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, stealing is better than stealing, women are actually the same, this kind of invisible can only exist in their imagination of men, often given a perfect illusory image, this kind of spiritual satisfaction generated by creation can be like opium to make women want to stop.
Jessica is also a girl's mind, but it's just that it's too hard to have the energy to have a spring, and she inexplicably has a resentment about why I didn't come here sooner, everything here is very much to her taste. Although she likes to go out for a walk, most of them are in the area of Apguting, and the life of a trainee is very hard, sometimes she is so tired that she is paralyzed on the ground, and she is not even willing to turn over, so how can she have time to come out and hang out. Recently, they are about to make their debut, and their long-cherished wish for many years is finally coming true, but she is confused. Because they are about to make their debut, they have been practicing a lot less recently, and their bodies are much easier, but her heart is more tired, and she was always frightened when she had a phobia of the camera before. Jessica, who has always liked to sleep, woke up very early today, and she secretly ran out with her camera and couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, ready to take some beautiful things to relax, and then she ran to Cheongdam-dong and walked to the door of this coffee house. She didn't know that if she had come a day earlier, Li Jingming would not have come back, and if she had been a day late, Li Jingming might have left to do goodbye.
She began to let go again, sat in the place where Li Jingming had sat and looked at the pedestrians below, and began to think about her life and predict her future.
"Zheng Xiuyan Xi, is it a tourist?" Every year, many people from other parts of Korea come to Seoul for sightseeing, and they are also tourists. Li Jingming knew that Jessica was not, he was just talking.
Jessica came back to her senses and replied, "No, I've been in Seoul for eight years." β
"So you're a photography enthusiast?" Li Jingming continued to ask.
"I just like it." Jessica fiddled with her camera with her head down. She is a very shy character, and she is not familiar with Li Jingming, and she is always a passive party when talking. Sometimes the "high-spirited" Jessica will seem very bold, straightforward, and even domineering, but most of the time she is still so shy.
Li Jingming is not in this set with any special purpose, but he is just idle and idle, looking for someone to talk to, who knows that Yujian is such a stuffy gourd.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but it also turned back between the two with a little unclear meaning, and the two people unconsciously glanced at each other, and then quickly shifted their gaze.
Probably it won't happen so quickly on shijie to be pink, but sometimes I have to say that the word "edge" is really wonderful. In the "Sleepwalking Book" it says:
Origin is a metaphor for a kind of unfinished, to survive a wish in the distant past, or to pay off an incalculable debt.
If you can be good, although the blessings are thin, the fate is not extinguished, life is separated from compassion, and death is not swallowed,
You can make a wish for the future with a wish, and wait for another degree of origin calmly.
Li Jingming didn't know that when he ate that meal in his previous life, there was a person at the table who was also so shy and smiled, and lowered his head to look at him secretly. The man had not been able to find his other half until he was stabbed to death, perhaps he had found it, but he couldn't find it.
Li Jingming still didn't know something, he didn't know that someone had made a wish in front of his tombstone.
Jessica also had something she didn't know, she didn't know that the song that was ringing in her ears was called "All.I.could.do".
