On the other side, Yuka had just checked the schedule of the party's activities in the evening, when he saw Kiko leaning against the table with his mobile phone in his hand, looking a little lost, even the smile that often hung on his face was gone.
She walked up wonderingly, bumped into her a little, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Kiko came to her senses in a trance, the expression on her face had returned to normal, she turned around and asked for a glass of wine, ran her slender fingers across the glass, and replied casually: "It's all right."
Yuka pushed the wine in front of her dissatisfied: "How early is it now, what should you do if you drink too much later?" After finishing speaking, she leaned her head curiously: "Didn't you call GD just now? What? Why, what happened?" There were gossip and excitement in her eyes, and she could smell the unusual aura~
"He's not coming tonight." Kiko said flatly.
"What?" Yuka screamed in astonishment. "It's too much. Fortunately, I reserved a seat for him."
From Yuka's point of view, she and GD can be regarded as friends, naturally they are friends, no matter what they have to cheer, this is her welcome party after all.
Seeing her angry appearance, Kiko curled her lips disapprovingly: "Everyone already has a girlfriend, so how can I care about you."
"Huh?" Yuka froze for a moment with an angry expression, and repeated blankly: "Girlfriend? GD has a girlfriend?" She blinked, and instantly forgot the unhappiness just now, and excitedly pulled her sister and asked: "GD Do you really have a girlfriend? Hey, I made a bet with Mina-chan last time that GD will never be in love, and now I’m lost!! Wait, no, no, he has a girlfriend, so he can bring it with him, anyway. I..." I wanted to see her too. Yuka was talking about Zhenghuan, and accidentally glanced at Kiko's increasingly ugly face, and suddenly remembered that his sister seemed to have a somewhat unclear relationship with GD, so he swallowed the rest of the words wisely, pretending to be stupid "hehe " Twice, said awkwardly: "Well, I'll call Keisuke to see if he's here."
Kiko watched her go on the phone, took a sip from one of the wine glasses, and could not help showing a bit of envy in his eyes.
When Yuka debuted in Japan, it was the time when youth fashion was popular. Although her appearance was not as exquisite as other models, her free and casual temperament was unique. In addition, she was standing in front of her as an older sister at that time. There is no shortage of coverage.If it weren't for Yuka's child being too playful and unwilling to devote himself to work, her current achievements would definitely not be inferior to her.In addition, her boyfriend Keisuke, who has just confirmed the relationship, is a new male model known as "the handsome man in Japan". He is also a very outstanding newcomer in terms of appearance and temperament.
I have to say that Yuka's life is indeed very relaxed and contented, which makes her yearn for it sometimes.
But, that's all. After she set her goal at the age of 14, she didn't plan to change. It was like this before, and it's still like this now, so it will be the same in the future.
One day, the name Kiko will not only be limited to Asia.
She glanced at the phone, drank the wine in the glass blankly, turned to face herself reflected in the glass, and raised her head with a confident and bright smile.
When Yuka came back from the phone call, she saw that Kiko had returned to her usual appearance, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Every time she saw her sister's sullen face, she felt very stressed, which was even more stressful than seeing her parents .
Quan Zhilong and Ahn Soo-eun on the other side played happily all day. Although they couldn't go to crowded places because of Quan Zhilong's relationship, it was better than the situation of illegitimate meals everywhere in Korea. .
The two had been out for a day, and it was past ten o'clock when they returned to the hotel. As a result, no matter whether it was the Big Five, or Li Zhenyuan and An Sunmi, they hadn't returned yet.Quan Zhilong took An Xiuen to the leisure area of the hotel to play.
The hotel arranged for BIG to stay in is naturally not bad. Regardless of the most basic service, food, confidentiality and safety measures, they are all leaders in the industry.The two of them entered an elegantly furnished private room, which not only provided drinks and meals service, but also had all the settings similar to a home theater.
Seeing that Quan Zhilong skillfully ordered a cup of lavender tea for her, An Xiuen saw the fresh and elegant aroma, she looked at him with a dazed expression.
Quan Zhilong patted her forehead strangely: "What's wrong?"
An Xiuen frowned and hesitated for a moment, and said: "Zhilong, I think you seem to know me very well, did we know each other before?" This was the question she wanted to ask when she first met him and felt vaguely familiar. , but they were not familiar with each other at the time, in order to avoid embarrassment, she didn't say anything, and she gradually forgot about it later.
Until just now, before she spoke, he ordered her favorite lavender tea among the teas, and the sense of disobedience from the past suddenly came up.When the two go out to eat together, he always orders her favorite dishes on the menu; when he looks at the clothes and jewelry, he finds out the type she likes; The one who likes to be close to the crowd will always take her to the other side; even if he turns into a flower shop, he can pick out her favorite blue irises among all kinds of flowers at a glance.
She even wondered if she had lost her memory, or could people really understand each other to such an extent?
Quan Zhilong paused while pouring tea, and when he looked up again, his expression was a little funny: "What are you thinking? I understand you, shouldn't I? I'm your boyfriend, knowing the habits and preferences of my dear girlfriend is the most basic Yes. Xiu En, this is all my love for you~" His last sad expression successfully made An Xiu En laugh, and she couldn't help pinching his face: "Mr. Quan, I found that your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, you really deserve to be a talented idol who has written so many songs."
Quan Zhilong looked at her crooked eyes, and also raised a big smile: "However, Xiuen, we have met before." He pretended to narrow his eyes mysteriously and smiled extraordinarily slyly.
"Eh? Really?" An Xiuen's eyes widened in surprise, and she tried her best to search her memory, but she couldn't remember where the two of them met, so she gave him a dissatisfied look: "Why don't you tell me soon? "
"When I was 15 years old, I was in the amusement park." Quan Zhilong spat out two words, and he glanced at her with smiling eyes: "Do you remember? Xiuen gave me a flower."
An Xiuen pursed her lips and thought for a while, then remembered.It really can't be said how good her memory is, mainly because since she was ten years old, she has been to the amusement park as many times as she can count on one hand, maybe there are two more.Her parents hadn't been around since she was a child, so naturally she didn't have much experience of going crazy with her parents and family to the amusement park like other children.When she was a child, her grandparents would take her to the amusement park when she was young. When she was older and sensible, she would naturally not pester the old man to play, but it didn't mean she didn't have desires in her heart.
She still remembered that that year seemed to be summer vacation, and her parents agreed to squeeze out time to come back to live for a while during the vacation, but later they were infinitely delayed due to various things, and each time they waited with hope for someone to be accepted. The experience of wrecking was so tortured that she wanted to go crazy.
The last time, she couldn't take it anymore, so she drove to the amusement park by herself, but when she arrived, she looked at the noisy crowd and all kinds of amusement facilities, and there were parents coaxing their children from time to time. I'm lonely.
Wandering around aimlessly, she inadvertently turned into a live rap competition. In fact, she was not interested in rap, but thought that the lively music would make her feel less lonely. After entering, she found that although It's not cool anymore, but the noise is not easily bearable.
To be honest, she actually regretted going in.
It's just that this is a competition with a limited audience, because the audience is also one of the judges.Therefore, those who came later could not come in, and those who came earlier would naturally not be able to get out.
Now thinking of Quan Zhilong's group competition is actually the one that impressed her the most. Among a group of adults, their youthful looks and immature voices have a strong and confident aura that does not match their age. Impressive.
It's just... An Xiuen glanced at Quan Zhilong, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and let out a "puchi" laugh. He was still a junior high school student at that time, and his already small face looked even fatter, like a little bun.However, RAP's movements are all unruly and uninhibited. At first glance, it really feels like a little adult.That image is much worse than now, so it's not surprising that she didn't recognize it for a while.
Quan Zhilong didn't notice the teasing in her eyes, the dizzy heat covered the emotion in his eyes, his voice seemed to fade a bit: "At that time, Xiu En, when you gave me flowers, I was very happy , really happy."
The flowers he mentioned were shared when the audience as judges came in, and they were regarded as tokens of the final selection, and they voted for their favorite group at the end.
In fact, that competition was one of the countless competitions he participated in. Although it was a RAP competition in the youth group, for Quan Zhilong at that time, the ranking was not important. The important thing was to learn the RAP skills of his predecessors in the competition. For his own use, that's why he gave up the junior group and signed up for the youth group. After all, the master over there is his goal.
At that time his partner was TOP, Choi Seung Hyun at that time.The two of them also got to know each other through RAP, and they have always had a good understanding. They also both have the determination to learn top RAP, so they naturally became best friends.The two of them participated in big and small competitions together, but that was the only one, and there was a mistake.
When he saw An Xiuen's familiar face with a slight smile on the stage, almost instantly, his heart immersed in the music woke up suddenly, his mind went blank, let alone the lyrics, He even relies on instinct for the next step.Fortunately, Brother Shengxian reacted quickly and took over the original lyrics, so that the competition could go on smoothly.
In the end, during the voting session, his mind was in turmoil, he kept thinking about An Xiuen, and finally he even felt a little uneasy, and the hand he put aside couldn't help shaking slightly.Cui Shengxian next to him only thought that he was annoyed by the mistake just now, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, the result is not important, we can perform more perfectly next time."
He adjusted the expression on his face, trying to make himself natural, but his eyes couldn't help searching for An Xiuen's figure in the crowd.
She walked over step by step, despite the loud noise, the sound of her footsteps seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.She held a red flower in front of her chest casually, her delicate and fair face was very charming, she stood in front of him, with a smile on her brows, intoxicating, she said: "You sing very well, Fighting!"
The mischievous wink after the words was firmly fixed in his memory.
At that time, Quan Zhilong was so happy that he seemed to have the whole world. He didn't know how long his song could make her remember him, just like she didn't know how much encouragement this sentence brought him.
Quan Zhilong's eyes fell on An Xiuen's face, the illusory and beautiful face in his memory turned into reality, and, right in front of him, nothing made him feel happier than this.
Hearing the sincerity in his words, An Xiuen blinked, feeling a little guilty.She never knew anything about rap, and she couldn't even catch the lyrics because they spoke too fast.
Rather than thinking that they sing well, it is better to say that I like their eyes.She has seen that kind of immature eyes with infinite hope for dreams and determination in her own eyes countless times.
After coughing twice, she awkwardly changed the subject: "Who was your partner at that time? Are you friends now?"
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and replied amusedly: "That's Brother TOP." Since Shengli appeared, he generally didn't call TOP "Brother Shengxian", otherwise he felt an awkward feeling of being taken advantage of by Shengli.
"!!" An Xiuen stared at Quan Zhilong incredulously, "TOP?! Is it real or not?" The attractive TOP is connected together... Although thinking about it carefully, the facial features are indeed a bit similar.
Tsk tsk, An Xiuen glanced at Quan Zhilong with exclamation: It seems that he has changed enough to give her face. If he is like TOP, then she may not be able to remember it even if she really reassembles her brain.
The two chatted in the box for a while, until An Xiuen couldn't help yawning, then got up and prepared to go back to the room.When entering the elevator, Quan Zhilong caught a glimpse of her yawning and squinting, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of her hair, the originally smooth long hair was messed up.Seeing An Xiuen's angry eyes turned around, he hurriedly helped her straighten her hair: "Xiu En, there are dirty things in your hair, I'll help you get rid of them." That sincere little look is so innocent.
Seeing his shameless appearance, An Xiuen didn't even bother to roll her eyes, and simply ignored him.
"Xiu-en, Xiu-en, Xiu-en~~" Quan Zhilong hooked her shoulder and screamed, without even receiving a look, he asked sadly with his mouth curled up, "Why are you ignoring me?"
I have a sour stomach!
The author has something to say: I'm sorry everyone, this chapter should have been written yesterday, but the tragedy is that after I finished typing, I was shamefully disconnected from the Internet! !I can only come back and post a chapter when get out of class is over ╮(╯▽╰)╭
PS: Originally, the title of this chapter was intended to be called "First Time"...it was only when I typed it that it was misleading, O(∩_∩)O haha~
※、Chapter43
She walked up wonderingly, bumped into her a little, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Kiko came to her senses in a trance, the expression on her face had returned to normal, she turned around and asked for a glass of wine, ran her slender fingers across the glass, and replied casually: "It's all right."
Yuka pushed the wine in front of her dissatisfied: "How early is it now, what should you do if you drink too much later?"

Kiko watched her go on the phone, took a sip from one of the wine glasses, and could not help showing a bit of envy in his eyes.

"!!" An Xiuen stared at Quan Zhilong incredulously, "TOP?! Is it real or not?" The attractive TOP is connected together... Although thinking about it carefully, the facial features are indeed a bit similar.
