Chapter 630: Embarrassment
Myeongdong, located in the heart of Seoul, has always been the best place for tourists to go shopping, with millions of people moving every day.
It is the largest shopping street in Seoul, and it is home to a wide range of shopping malls, the latest clothing stores, local cosmetics stores, duty-free shops, and large and small food shops.
And the myeongdong at night is even more prosperous. After taking the hard photos of the bc card for promotion and printing on the card during the day, Lin Qing originally planned to go with Yan Jun to have a light meal with the senior management of VoGUEKoREA to exchange feelings, but before leaving, he suddenly changed his attention temporarily, so he left Yan Jun and asked the team to take him to Myeongdong for a good look.
Under the influence of Lu Han, he actually wanted to see the local customs of Seoul here for a long time.
It is said that this brother ran to become an idol because he was discovered by a talent scout while shopping in Myeongdong while studying abroad.
Of course, this kind of thing is likely to be a marketing topic deliberately released by the agency, in order to increase the storytelling and online discussion of its artists.
So Lin Qingyuan didn't know if it was true or not, after all, he hadn't asked Lu Han what the truth was.
But it's really lively. This street is bustling with people, and because some schools have started summer vacation, Myeongdong seems to be a lot more crowded tonight than usual.
Lin Qing originally stopped and took a lot of photos in the streets and alleys, and then walked into a store that specialized in selling all kinds of small goods and souvenirs, planning to buy something fun or beautiful to take back to China to give away.
"Welcome!" Lin Qingyuan walked into the door of the store curiously and nodded to the clerk who was standing aside to greet him warmly.
"Hello, I need to buy some souvenirs." Lin Qingyuan used his less proficient Korean to communicate.
"Okay, please come with me." After the clerk took Lin Qingyuan to a specific area dedicated to various souvenirs, he said goodbye and left.
There was a lot of traffic tonight, and there were people coming in and out all the time, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay for one-on-one service.
But this is exactly what Lin Qingyuan wants. He looked around for a while, and saw that there was also a girl in a black tight dress and a mask on her face, carefully selecting small pendants.
So there is no risk of exposure at all. He can slowly do multiple-choice questions in his shopping. Keychains, phone cases, dolls, hairpins... Lin Qingyuan felt that these things didn't seem to be suitable for his group of male friends, and maybe Huang Zitao, who had a girl's heart, would accept them honestly.
I feel like the stuff here is only suitable for girls. So he turned around and came to the shelf behind him and began to sweep the goods, only to see the girl wearing a mask holding a Huaguo knot and muttering to herself: "Is this a Korean knot?" I don't think I've seen it before..."
"This is the Huaguo knot, which originated in Huaguo, but this year it was taken by the South Korean government to apply for the World Heritage Site." Lin Qingyuan frowned and hesitated, but he couldn't help but explain it out loud, and he also emphasized the issue of national ownership.
Although he didn't want to have too much contact with passers-by so as not to expose his identity and cause confusion, he couldn't help it, he really didn't want to see South Korea continue to steal things from China.
Lin Qingyuan gave gifts such as neon fans Hua Guojie at the fan meeting of Neon Line last year, but did not give them to South Korean fans, and as a result, South Korea applied for the World Heritage this year.
This is really outrageous. In the final analysis, the ability to export culture at this stage is too weak, resulting in a lack of understanding of China overseas.
has been exported all the time, and rarely exported to others. This is the status quo that Lin Qingyuan needs to work hard to change.
"Neon Gold?" The girl looked at her in surprise. Because she spoke Japanese just now, and Lin Qingyuan was afraid that she wouldn't understand, he also answered her in Japanese.
And the most important thing is that Lin Qingyuan is wearing a mask at this time, which is the standard for most neon people on the street.
"Chinese people." Lin Qingyuan pursed his lips. Although Chinese, Japanese and Korean nationals often go undercover with each other overseas, don't shake your wit at this time, Lin Qingyuan's current status has to be cautious in words and deeds.
"Smimarseille, I see." The girl behaved quite politely and even bowed slightly to apologize.
"No thanks, just don't make a mistake next time."
"Hey." The girl replied softly. Because there were a lot of friends who needed to give gifts, it took about twenty minutes to select more than a dozen satisfactory goods, and Lin Qingyuan went to the counter to check out.
But just as he was taking his wallet out of his pocket and preparing to pay, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
Exaggeration, the wallet seems to have been forgotten in the hotel this morning... Moreover, South Korea does not use WeChat and Alipay, and Lin Qingyuan did not handle the local credit card and online banking online payment, so it seems embarrassing now.
Lin Qingyuan never thought that he would be stumped by money one day, after all, this is reality, and it is not a reality show of poor travel or simulated management.
"I'm sorry, I forgot my wallet in the hotel, let's return these, and I'll buy it when I find my wallet when I go back to the hotel." In order to avoid the escalation of embarrassment caused by the cashier's inquiry, Lin Qingyuan took the lead and said.
It's so embarrassing, it's definitely not going to come again.
"Inner, that... I'll pay for him. Lin Qingyuan looked back, only to see that the girl just now had just finished picking out the things she wanted to buy and came to check out.
But she was speaking Korean at this time.
"Eh, that..."Lin Qingyuan was not very embarrassed. He decided that before he came to South Korea next time, he must ask someone to help him make online payments or credit cards, and he must prevent this situation from happening now, it is too embarrassing...
"It's okay, that's it, I'll help you cushion it first, I really can't wait until you go back to the hotel and then find a way to return it to me, just as you just gave me a science and science Chinese knot in Japanese." The girl smiled and shook her head.
Lin Qingyuan hesitated for a moment: "Well, thank you." "Embarrassment is embarrassment, but dealing with the problem first is the right way, and this is the best solution to deal with the problem.
So there is no need for Lin Qingyuan to continue to refuse here, anyway, he is not not unpaid.
"No thanks, just remember to bring your wallet next time."
"I can see you have a good memory..."
"It's okay." The girl had already smiled and bent her eyes. Seeing this, the clerk began to scan the code, then packed the things of the two separately and issued two receipts.
Walking out of the store with their respective bags, Lin Qingyuan took the lead in speaking: "So how can I contact you?" ”
"Do you have Kakao?" The girl pulls out her phone.
"This one is still there." Lin Qingyuan nodded, then took out her mobile phone from her pocket and added her friend.
"Oh Mo! Is your avatar a selfie of Lin Qingyuan? The girl suddenly exclaimed: "Kakoyi! ”
"Ah, yes." Lin Qingyuan glanced at the person who had an extra person in his friend list,
"Your profile picture is good, too."
"So..."The girl lowered her head and was silent for a while, and then her tone suddenly became extremely serious and asked, "Do you know her?" That's the guy I'm Kakao's avatar. ”
"Sakura Miyawaki? Sakura? Of course he will not forget the idols that Lin Qingyuan's ex-girlfriend liked in his previous life.
"Huh?! So you know! The girl instantly became happy, and even her tone was much more cheerful.
"She's your idol?"
"Idols aren't counted, that, actually..."The girl took off her mask to reveal a delicate and pretty face, and her smile was kind and gentle.
"I'm her!" But Lin Qingyuan did not show the excitement of fans to see their idols as she expected.
He just stood there quietly, looking down at the fair-skinned face with fine makeup.
I have to sigh that Seoul's artists are everywhere... It is no wonder that South Korea claims to have a million trainees, and the probability of encountering a star on the street is much higher than that of Huaguo.
In the long and eerie silence, the more awkward party finally took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere.
"Although I know that I am not a particularly well-known idol now, I will be hurt in my heart if I don't even react at all when I see me like you..."
"Excuse me, should I scream?" Lin Qingyuan's eyes were not shocked, and he asked in a calm tone.
"It doesn't need to be like this." Miyawaki Sakura was stunned for a moment, and the two immediately fell silent, this person really can't speak.
"Do you know how I met you?"
"Huh?" Sakura Miyawaki turned his head sideways and looked at this tall man who was dressed in a fashionable and stylish manner.
"I know Ju Jingyi, that is, kiku, you are all idols pushed out by the 48 series." In fact, he had also watched the video of the live broadcast of the Sakura game before, this sister specializes in terminal games, and plays all kinds of messy things like Resident Evil and Fall Guys.
"Oh Mo! Kiku-chan? Do you still know Kiku-chan? Sakura Miyawaki covered her mouth and looked surprised.
"I... I acted with her. Lin Qingyuan didn't bother to hide it, everyone is an artist, so there is no need to continue to hide his identity.
As for whether this sister will take the opportunity to seduce him and create a big news in her favor after knowing her identity.
Most likely, not. And even if he could, Lin Qingyuan could dispose of it. The little idols who are about to be pasted are unable to fight against the big capital forces behind the transnational top.
"Huh? Are you still an actor?! Lin Qingyuan looked around, pulled Miyawaki Sakura into an alley that no one passed, and then took off the mask on his face under her surprised gaze.
"I don't use Kakao very much, and my friends don't add much, so it's convenient to use my own photos as avatars." He laughed and explained the origin of the selfie avatar.
Although it was only a flash, Lin Qingyuan quickly put on the mask again, but it was still accompanied by the warm evening breeze of early summer, causing ripples in the hearts of others.
Looking at the excellent face in front of her that was still three-dimensional after removing her makeup, Sakura Miyawaki was stunned in place, she couldn't help but be stunned, her breathing gradually stagnated, her thoughts were so chaotic that she couldn't speak, she couldn't imagine what kind of luck she was?
Although she is not a fan of Lin Qingyuan, it is really hard to imagine that she can meet a foreign star of this level when she comes out to relax and relax.
This year, she first announced the disbandment of the limited girl group IZ*oNE launched with the talent show, and then graduated from hKt48, where she had been for eight years, and is currently working hard for her second debut as a trainee.
And what about the one in front of you... The 24-year-old double actor is a popular actor at the apex of Asian entertainment, and her popularity and influence radiate throughout the Far East.
In fact, she has always been a very ambitious or scheming girl, but the insurmountable gap in status and identity makes her a little speechless at the moment.
"I'll go back and ask someone to make the Kakao payment, and then transfer the money to you, you remember to send me the bank card number when the time comes, otherwise the money won't be able to be repaid to you." Fortunately, at this time, Lin Qingyuan spoke.
"Hi... Hi yi..."Sakura Miyawaki barely came to her senses, she lowered her head, and subconsciously replied in her native language.
"Anyway, thank you today, otherwise it will definitely be embarrassing." Lin Qingyuan thanked.
Sakura Miyawaki nodded slightly,
"It's okay, Lin Sang, the things you bought aren't very expensive."
"Whether it's expensive or not, it's all your money, and your money is all earned by yourself." Lin Qingyuan pointed to the taxi parked on the side of the road in the distance,
"Then I'll go back first?"
"Uh-huh, okay."
"Do I need to take you home?" Lin Qingyuan was in a relaxed mood and joked casually.
"This is not needed...", but just as Lin Qingyuan was about to leave, a reluctant voice suddenly came from behind him, and he turned around to look at the girl in front of him.
"Arnold... Today, it's a pleasure to meet you. Sakura Miyawaki raised his head and looked timidly into Lin Qingyuan's eyes.
Lin Qingyuan looked at her for a while, and then smiled dumbly: "Me too." "Can an idol who has already debuted be so shy?
He didn't believe it, but there was no need to force the truth. After all, this is the power of others, and he himself is not very rejecting this kind of self-interested behavior that does not harm others.
Just like when he recorded few flowers, didn't he also rely on pretending to be a tea art to attract a wave of audience favor?
You can't be too double-standard.
"Hotel Shilla, thank you." Lin Qingyuan opened the taxi door, sat in the back seat, took out his mobile phone and clicked on Kakao's friend list.
IU、Jennie、Jisoo、Lalisa、Rina、Rose、Sakura... added seven friends, all of them are girls, and this is going to be photographed as a screenshot of his friend list, even if he has to be on the hot search in many countries again.
Just then, someone suddenly sent a message. It was the enthusiastic neon idol who both helped her pay her bills and borrowed him money to take a taxi back to the hotel.
Sakura: [I just checked, it turns out that Lin Sang is the global spokesperson of League of Legends!
[Hmm.] Lin Qingyuan was puzzled and asked why was this? Sakura: [I play this game too!]
【What rank are you?】 Lin Qingyuan went straight in. Sakura:【Silver!
】Silver... Lin Qingyuan fell silent. However, I didn't find a booster, which is worthy of praise and affirmation.
[But Silver is very powerful!] Don't take Silver players lightly! Sakura Miyawaki quickly added.
"I see. Lin Qingyuan was very perfunctory. In OTTO's words, silver is a terminal cancer rank, and it can't go up or down.
Sakura: [Then can I ask Lin Sang to play games with you in the future?] I'm already fastening my seatbelt.
I probably don't have much time. This is really not just a casual excuse to be perfunctory, Lin Qingyuan rarely has time to play games, especially terminal games that take more time.
Sakura: [Okay...] Sakura Miyawaki was standing on the street. The small cherry blossoms have just bloomed and seem to be about to wither.
However, Lin Qingyuan on the other side of the screen seems to have a new movement, and a new message from Kakao has been sent.
"Wait, don't go back to the hotel, change the address." He opened the map on his phone and handed it to the driver.
"Okay, just along the way, not very far."
