Chapter 14: Been Targeted by a Cabbage [Please Read On]
In the lounge, Lee Ji-eun said guiltily, "Lin Yuan, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been scolded."
Lin Yuan, who was thinking about how to shoot the music video, came back to his senses, gave her a deep look, and patted the spot next to him.
Lee Ji-eun slowly walked over and sat down, placing her fists on her knees and lowering her head, not daring to look at him.
Lin Yuan affectionately ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "We're friends, you know. The words 'I'm sorry' shouldn't come out of your mouth. I chose this path, so it's not your fault."
"But I..."
Lin Yuan stood up, his fingertips tracing the black card Zhang had brought. "The little devil isn't here today, how about we go out for a walk?"
After saying that, he took her hand and walked out.
Myeongdong shopping street.
Lee Ji-eun pulled hard on Lin Yuan, "Can you hurry up and leave? You're so lazy."
Lin Yuan waved his hand, walked to a public bench and sat down, patting his thigh and panting heavily, "Wait... wait for me to catch my breath."
He vowed never to go shopping with women again; it was just too agonizing.
For two hours, a full two hours, Lee Ji-eun didn't stop for a moment. Despite being a local, she was curious about everything, even more so than he, a foreigner.
"Hey, why don't you find somewhere else to rest? This is a pedestrian street with so many people. Do you want our shopping photos to be taken?" She said, glancing around furtively, as if afraid the paparazzi would discover her identity.
What could Lin Yuan say? He could only leave. After all, he's famous; even shopping has to be done secretly. If it were me, I wouldn't even bother with Dabao (a Chinese skincare brand); I'd just go out openly. What, would I get eaten alive?
"Let's go, let's go. Shopping with you is such a hassle."
"Oh, you're tired from a rough estimate? If you think I'm a hassle, why did you call me out?"
Lee Ji-eun was furious and, disregarding her image, chased after him and kicked him.
Lin Yuan glanced back, then took off running: "Come on, catch me and I'll call you dad."
"Hey, stop right there! Don't you dare run away!!!"
In a roadside coffee shop, Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi looked out the window, bored.
The next second, Lee Ji-eun and Lin Yuan ran past in front of her, one after the other.
Bae Joo-hyun glanced at it subconsciously, a smile playing on her lips, but unfortunately it was hidden by her mask.
Following her gaze, Kang Seulgi said slyly, "Unnie, do you want to play too? I can help you~" She even gave her a flirty wink.
Bae Joo-hyun ignored her and instead frowned in thought. She felt like she had seen that man somewhere before.
She quickly pulled out her phone, opened the secure folder, tapped on the photos inside, and a chilling smile curled at the corner of her lips: "So it was you. You came to Seoul but didn't contact me, huh?"
She found Kim Kwang-soo's number and called him.
"President Kim, I found him in Myeongdong. I understand!"
You can't escape my grasp, Lin Yuan!!!
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
Kang Seulgi was confused and wanted to say something, but Bae Joo-hyun had already left, so she had no choice but to take the coffee and chase after her.
Lin Yuan ran into a small alley, with Li Zhi'en still chasing after him, getting further and further away, sustained only by her belief.
"Lin...Lin Yuan, stop...stop running, I give up." Lee Ji-eun bent down, her hands supporting her knees, panting heavily.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks. "Really?"
Lee Ji-eun nodded vigorously. She didn't even have the strength to speak. She had to admit that he had some of the qualities of a male model, at least in terms of physical strength.
Lin Yuan walked over with some doubt, stopping two meters away from her. "You're really not going to chase after her? You're not cheating, are you? Trying to trick me into going over there?"
"Damn it, are you blind? Can't you see I'm exhausted? Hurry up and help me up!" Lee Ji-eun cursed him for dawdling, showing no gentlemanly manners whatsoever, and ran faster than a dog.
Seeing that her face was rosy and her breathing was rapid, Lin Yuan felt relieved and went over to help her up, then found a coffee shop to rest for a while.
Lin Yuan ordered a cappuccino, while Lee Ji-eun had an iced Americano. The two found a seat by the window.
Soothing piano music played inside, and the customers sat quietly in their seats, with occasional whispers of conversation drifting over. He was starting to like this coffee shop.
Looking at Lee Ji-eun again, she was still gulping down her coffee, finishing one cup before ordering another, and even glaring at him once she had a spare moment.
Lin Yuan quite liked her like this, tidied her messy hair, and said, "I want to buy a car for transportation. Do you have any good recommendations?"
Lee Ji-eun was still feeling the warmth of his fingertips when she was choked by his unromantic remark, "I don't know, why are you asking me about buying a car?"
. . . . .
Dude, why are you so hot-tempered? Don't think I won't beat you up just because you're Lee Ji-eun.
In the end, it was just a thought. If she really did it, without Lee Ji-eun saying a word, her mother could fly to Seoul overnight and beat her until she couldn't get out of bed. She treated Lee Ji-eun like a daughter and had secretly shielded her from countless dirty deeds.
That's how she became the nation's little sister. Otherwise, how could a powerless girl like her survive in the chaotic entertainment industry? Did she really think those people were kind?
He learned through his memories that the original owner had collected many rare and exquisite old cars, many of which he had never even heard of.
For example, Toyota Century, Nissan Y30, Fujiwara AE86 tofu car... why are they all Japanese cars?
He took out his phone and searched for it, and surprisingly, it actually matched his aesthetic preferences quite well.
What if I drove my old car and wore a suit to the mall?
He's so handsome it's unbelievable!
Unfortunately, like China, South Korea uses left-hand drive vehicles, while his cars are all right-hand drive, so he can only dream about it.
Seeing him sighing and shaking his head, Lee Ji-eun thought he was angry and quickly asked, "Hey, are you angry?"
Lin Yuan was about to say no, but then he wanted to tease her, so he pretended to be melancholy and turned to look out the window, sighing, thinking that she would definitely come to comfort him right away.
But even as his neck grew sore, he still didn't hear Lee Ji-eun's voice.
He secretly glanced at Lee Ji-eun.
Lee Ji-eun said slyly, "Pretending must be tiring, right?"
Damn it, how did we get found out?
Lin Yuan coughed lightly and turned around awkwardly. "Hehe, you saw right through me."
Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes at him, picked up her coffee, took a sip, and smiled to herself, thinking, "Childish!"
The two sat there quietly, petals falling outside the window, creating a scene like a painting under the lamplight.
Pedestrians strolled through the rain of flowers, and occasionally couples would confess their love and embrace each other.
A sentence involuntarily popped into Lin Yuan's mind: "Spring has arrived, and it's time for the animals to..."
