A pale white of the fish's belly lit up from the horizon, reflecting half of the sky in a blue-gray color.

And this scene has been expanding, and all the overhead has been dyed a very light white-gray, like a layer of white paper on an energy-saving lamp.

Li Zhien, who was very relaxed, was still sleeping, but her mobile phone on the bedside table rang inappropriately.

The constant vibrations woke Lee Ji-eun, who squinted his eyes and then moved slowly to try to find his phone.

Seeing the light around him for the first time made Li Zhien feel that it was still early, and it seemed that it was just dawn.

found his mobile phone, Li Zhien picked it up, looked at the screen, and it was an unfamiliar number.

Looking at the time in the upper right corner, it was only half past six in the morning.

After hesitating, Li Zhien still carefully connected the phone, and then put the phone to his ear.

"Yo no stuff?"

"IU xi, right?"

On the other end of the phone came a calm man's voice.

Li Zhien was a little more serious, usually this kind of phone call, which TV station's PD, or some other staff,

But at this point in time, something is not quite right, how can anyone call so early.

Li Zhien did not agree, but asked directly on the other end of the phone.

"Who are you?"

The man on the other end of the line replied quickly.

"I am a friend of Lu Li, a friend of many years."

Li Zhien was stunned, then quickly sat up from the bed, and then heard the man on the other end of the phone continue.

"I know you have a date with Lu Li today, maybe we can meet before you start, I want to give you some advice about Lu Li."

Li Zhien thought for a while, and then agreed seriously.

"Inside."

……………………

Fifteen minutes later, at the Erchondong Nature Study Field, Nakamura Gonghui sat on a bench next to the aisle, and together with Lee Ji-eun, looked at the Han River in front of him.

Holding the coffee cup in his hand, Nakamura Gonghui looked at the river scene in front of him and said.

"I'm on the plane back to Neon this morning, but before I go, I thought I should say something to you."

Li Zhien nodded cautiously in agreement, and then Nakamura Gonghui turned his head to look at her and said hopefully.

"You know, we're all here for you."

Li Zhien was stunned, I don't know who we are referring to, and what this support means.

Nakamura Miyaki looked at the river and explained.

"Lu Li and I met many years ago in a military skills competition, and I retired a year before him. After we came out, together with a few other friends, we started a security company called Black Steel. ”

"Excluding the subordinate employees below, there are six of us in the main, and we are all friends from the land."

Nakamura Miyaki paused, then said again.

"I also know about you and Lu Li."

Li Zhien immediately understood, but then he was a little embarrassed, and all his former colleagues knew about it.

"Of course, it wasn't Lu Li who told us, we found it ourselves, he is not the kind of person who can say these things."

Nakamura immediately explained.

"Inside."

Li Zhien nodded in agreement, it was indeed impossible for Lu Li to say such a thing.

"Hmmm......"

Nakamura Miyaki said thoughtfully.

"If you want to tell you how to deal with Lu Li, I think you need to know that Lu Li is a person who completely prioritizes rational thinking, and most of the time, emotional thinking is a disadvantage for him."

Li Zhien nodded, while Nakamura Miyaki continued.

"So, if you try to prioritize rational thinking, you might be able to reach the same frequency as him."

As he spoke, Nakamura Gonghui spread his hands.

"The traditional way is completely useless for Lu Li, and the natural relationship should be more effective, and this is how his last girlfriend came."

"How do you get along naturally?"

Li Zhien immediately asked.

"Hmm...... Put on your truest side and don't need to cater to him. ”

Nakamura Miyaki thought for a moment, and then said.

The two men were silent for a moment, then continued.

Although Lu Li is very tough and indifferent on the outside, he is actually a soft-hearted person. He did that to you completely because of the previous things, and the bad things in the past made him feel that he should have been born a lonely person. ”

"I understand this."

Li Zhien agreed softly, she also knew what happened to Lu Li before.

Nakamura Gonghui nodded slightly, and Li Zhien suddenly turned his head to look at him and said.

"But after today, I'm going to start busy again, and I may not have much time for the next two or three months, and then he will return to Huaxia at the beginning of next month."

"Hmm......"

Nakamura Gonghui thought for a moment, and then said indifferently.

"I can help him a little bit and leave him in Korea."

"How?"

Li Zhien said curiously.

Nakamura Miyaki paused, then explained.

"Our company has a training course for security personnel, and several of your bodyguards are trained by our company. I can open a series of training in South Korea, and then let Lu Li take charge, and he will agree. ”

"Oh......"

Li Zhien nodded in satisfaction, as if he felt that this was a good idea.

And Nakamura Gonghui looked at the river scene in front of him, suddenly frowned, and then said to Li Zhien seriously.

"There's one more thing you need to know about IU xi."

Li Zhien also looked at Nakamura Gonghui seriously, waiting for his next step.

The latter paused before speaking again.

"For Lu Li, he can treat the interaction between the two of you as a kind of contract, and there is no difficulty for him to complete the contract. But...... If Lu Li has evasive behavior, then it means that you have one foot in the door of success. ”

………………………………………………

Erchon-dong, Limeian Apartment.

RX-7 stopped at the bottom of the apartment, and Lu Li watched Li Zhien come over with great interest, and then quickly pulled the car door and got into the car.

Lu Li was a little surprised, because Li Zhien's condition today was obviously much better than yesterday morning.

But Lu Li didn't speak, but after Li Zhien fastened his seat belt, he silently hit the steering wheel and continued to drive towards Kakao M Entertainment.

On the way, Li Zhien did not talk to Lu Li in various ways as before, but after driving out for a while, he put down his mobile phone, turned his head to look at him, and then asked casually.

"Yesterday's National Intelligence Agency, will they follow you next?"

After returning home last night, Li Zhien sent a message to ask Lu Li what was going on, and Lu Li answered truthfully.

"Probably not."

Lu Li said without much thought.

"He just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to do anything that harmed Korean society."

Li Zhien thought for a while, and then said suspiciously.

"Haven't you been living in Korea for a long time, why are you still not at ease?"

Lu Li glanced at Li Zhien, and then said softly.

"They can never rest assured, it's their job to look at everything that is possible as a threat and then evaluate the response."

"Oh."

Li Zhien nodded knowingly, and then said nothing more.

After coming to the company, the two quickly got out of the car.

Since today was a drum kit teaching session, the two of them went directly to the band's practice room, where various instruments were displayed.

Coming to the drum kit, Lu Li watched Li Zhien sit on the drum bench first, and then instructed her to adjust the position of the drum set.

"When sitting, the angle between the thighs and calves should be about 90 degrees, which will help you practice. Some of the masters may have different sitting postures, but they have reached the realm of transcendence, and sitting postures no longer matter to them......"

"This is the snare drum, this is the tom, 1 tom, 2 toms, this is the cymbal ......"

"OK, the big arm is naturally drooping, the lower arm is horizontal, or a little down...... Pinch the drumstick a third of the way. ”

Lu Li sat on Li Zhien's left hand side, guiding seriously, in his previous band experience, this was the position where the deputy sits.

Li Zhien's interest in learning the drum kit seems to be much higher than when she was learning editing, and the whole person's mental state is even higher, and she is full of strength.

And Li Zhien's foundation in music theory also allowed her to integrate more quickly than when she was learning editing.

"You don't have to force the accent, you just need to raise the starting point of the drumstick, and the longer the work distance, the more force you can hit the drum surface. It's easy to lose your strength when you hit like this, and you can't look at some high-frequency beats at all......"

“OK。”

Li Zhien tapped very seriously, following the guidance of Lu Li.

She got started very quickly, and Lu Li sat on the side, occasionally giving some guidance.

After playing a short section in a coherent manner, Li Zhien immediately turned his head to look at Lu Li excitedly, waiting for the latter's praise.

And Lu Li also said flatly after nodding.

"Well done."

After hearing Lu Li's praise, Li Zhien immediately showed a satisfied expression, and then looked eagerly at the sheet music on the side, ready to play the next paragraph.

Generally speaking, according to formal teaching, it is definitely impossible for Lu Li to let Li Zhien directly start learning the next paragraph, but to let her practice repeatedly until she fully grasps it.

But Lu Li didn't do this, but pointed directly to the score and said.

"Maybe you can try this one again."

Li Zhien's eyes immediately focused on the place where Lu Li was pointing, and after confirming it, he followed the score and began to hit slowly.

After getting a little familiar, the frequency of Li Zhien's hands accelerated a little more.

The immature drums echoed in the practice room, making Lu Li can't help but recall those happy days in the past.

Today's Lee Ji-eun will not look at himself from time to time like he did when he was teaching yesterday, but will focus on the practice of the drum kit.

Only after playing a short section completely and skillfully, will he look at Lu Li and seek praise.

Unconsciously, Lu Li's always plain face finally changed slightly.

Little by little, the ripples that rippled from the corners of his mouth spread and gradually evolved into a shallow smile.

And Li Zhien, who is serious about studying and at the same time careful and afraid of making mistakes, also slowly condenses the element called "attraction" in the air between her and Lu Li.

Unconsciously, Lu Li's gaze would not be completely on Li Zhien's hand movements, but lingered on her face from time to time.

The two people in the middle were a little thirsty, so Lu Li went to the café downstairs to buy two drinks.

After coming back, Li Zhien was still practicing.

After seeing Lu Li come in, Li Zhien immediately excitedly knocked out the short section he had just completed.

Lu Li stood in front of the drum kit, smiled and nodded, and then handed the coffee in his hand to Li Zhien.

The latter put down the drumstick, took the cup, took a sip, then set it aside and pinched the muscles near the bottom of his thumb.

It's clear that the long drum kit has caused soreness in her extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendon sheath, and that's the path every drummer has to walk.

Lu Li looked at Li Zhien's movements, and said softly.

"Take a break, it'll be like this if you practice too much."

"Can it be tenosynovitis?"

Li Zhien raised his head and looked at Lu Li and asked.

"Hmm."

Lu Li nodded slightly.

"It's like this when you play too many drums."

"Do you have that too?"

Li Zhien asked after him.

"Every drummer has one, but I haven't played in a while."

Lu Li replied, then went to the sofa by the wall and sat down.

Li Zhien, who stood up, looked at Lu Li and then asked.

"If you want to be a professional drummer, do you have to endure it all the time?"

"It was like this at first."

Lu Li replied quickly.

"Later on, your muscles will get used to your movements, and there are specialized treatments and massages."

"How do you press it?"

Li Zhien walked quickly to Lu Li's side and asked.

"Hmmm......"

Lu Li raised his hand and prepared to demonstrate it to Li Zhien.

But suddenly, Li Zhien in front of him stretched out his hand and put it directly in front of Lu Li's eyes.

The latter paused for a moment before raising his head to look at Li Zhien, and then spoke.

"I'm not going to press it for you."

"Hush."

Li Zhien lowered his head angrily, with an expected expression.

But she still came to Lu Li's side and sat down, and then began to massage herself according to Lu Li's demonstration.

"Bend your thumb at 90 degrees, pinch it, without too much force, and then knead your tendon...... And the forearm...... Rub again after relaxing......"

Li Zhien watched Lu Li's movements seriously, and according to the method he taught, his muscles did ease a little.

After massaging for a while, Li Zhien put down his hand, then looked around relaxedly, and then spoke.

"This afternoon is Lee Jun-woo's wedding, and I'm going over to perform."

Lu Li quickly thought about it, and in a second, he matched the name with the person's face.

Lee Jun-woo is one of Lee Ji-eun's backup dance team members, and he still has an impression.

And after another two seconds, Lu Li turned his head to look at Li Zhien.

"Are you going to take me there?"

Li Zhien also turned his head to look at Lu Li, and then said without giving way.

"Oh, you owe me two full days."
