dear tiger tooth boy

"Excuse me, can you buy some?" The boy summoned up his courage, looked at the female shopkeeper and asked again.There was not much hope in his tone.

The female shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and looked at the boy's bulging schoolbag, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

A look of disappointment gradually appeared on the boy's face, but he seemed to have gotten used to such distrustful eyes and being rejected.Carrying a schoolbag like this and walking around the streets to sell, he has been rejected many times.

The boy zipped up his schoolbag, and was about to say "Sorry for disturbing you" to the female shopkeeper, but the female shopkeeper spoke.

"So, can you tell me why you want to sell things like this?"

This time it was the boy's turn to be stunned.This was the first time anyone cared why he was making such a "stupid" pitch.

The boy raised his head and looked at the female shopkeeper again.Her eyes were gentle and deep.

Like a mother's eyes.

Encouraged by such kind eyes, the boy opened his mouth without much hesitation.

"Because, I have to pay the rent. If I can't pay the rent at the end of the month, I will be kicked out by the landlord."

The female shopkeeper frowned: "You've been selling like this for a long time?"

The boy nodded: "It's been a long time. Last week, I worked as an extra in a movie for a day, and I got 8 yuan from the morning to late night shooting. However, it was not enough for the rent...so I used 8 yuan Wholesale gum and chocolate..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning, who was eavesdropping while eating kimbap, couldn't help but feel worried for the boy.

The female shopkeeper looked at the boy's wet hair and sighed softly: "So, how much is your rent?"

"That... costs 15 yuan." The boy's voice was very low.

The female shopkeeper's expression became serious: "Understood. Now, I will buy all the things in your schoolbag for 15 yuan."

The teenager could hardly believe his ears: "What you said is true?"

Jiang Ning also looked at the female shopkeeper with surprise and joy.

The sternness of the female shopkeeper gradually revealed a bit of sternness: "Yes, I will buy them all this time. I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as my son. It is really distressing to see a child. But, in the future, you must never do such a mindless thing again. Buying and selling is not such an easy thing to do, understand?"

The boy didn't seem to have recovered from his astonishment, and there wasn't much surprise on his face.He just nodded repeatedly: "Understood, I understand, thank you, thank you."

The female shopkeeper handed over 15 yuan to the boy.Most of them are old small notes, and there are many 1000 yuan.

Jiang Ning watched silently from the side, with mixed feelings in her heart.

When the boy took the money, his fingertips visibly trembled.

"Thank you."

The boy walked out the door, and Jiang Ning also finished eating the kimbap and was about to leave.

At this moment, the boy suddenly turned around and came back.

"What's wrong?" asked the hostess.

This time the young man raised his head without any hesitation and said, "Actually, I came to Seoul alone as a trainee. During these days, although I didn't want to give up, I kept asking myself, what exactly am I here for?" Well... Thank you very much for your help... You don't know how much encouragement you have given me. I will never forget your kindness. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you in the future..."

The female shopkeeper's eyes showed tenderness again. She smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you talking about in return? My child, I only hope that whether you succeed or fail in the future, you can be a person who understands the difficulties of others." .”

The boy nodded seriously.

"As a trainee, it must be very hard." The female shopkeeper said softly, "What's your name?"

The boy said, "My name is Jin Zaizhong."

Jin Zaizhong.

Jiang Ning silently recited the name in her heart.

"Okay, I remember." The female shopkeeper said with a smile, "Zaizhong, I'm waiting to see you on TV."

After asking a few people, Jiang Ning finally got on the bus to S/M company.

It's getting late.

It turns out that being a trainee is really hard.Jiang Ning thought.Didn't Yunho say that the company will provide accommodation and meals?Why does this young man named Zaizhong still earn rent by himself?

Probably not the same company.Yunho said that S/M company is the largest company, and the conditions will definitely be better.

Jiang Ning seemed to be trying to convince herself of something.

Thinking of it this way made her feel comforted.

Time and distance are wonderful.

When Jiang Ning just set off in the morning, Jiang Ning was still on fire, thinking about how to skillfully throw the pastry in front of Yunho when they meet--"clever" means that they can show their own Dissatisfaction and momentum, but not enough to break the good-looking pastries—but now, after sitting in the car for half a day, and witnessing the difficult and somewhat ridiculous sales of the young man who is also a trainee in the convenience store, the flames in Jiang Ning's heart It has burned out unconsciously.

She stared at the car window in a daze.The temperature outside the car was very low, and the glass was covered with a layer of fog.

Jiang Ning raised her hand to wipe the car window.Unknowingly, he began to write on the glass with his finger.

"Yun...hao. Yunhao." The next seat was an aunt holding a child, and the child suddenly called out, "Mom, mom, these two words are Yunho! That's right?" The child raised his face, He looked at his mother brightly, with an expression of asking for praise.

Jiang Ning wakes up like a dream.

Heaven and earth conscience, she didn't deliberately write these two words!why suddenly...

She quickly wiped it with the back of her hand.Only a small puddle of watermark remained on the glass.

The aunt patted the child's head lightly, and said angrily, "You can't yell like that on the bus."

But the smile on the corner of his mouth still couldn't hide.

Jiang Ning was so embarrassed that she never dared to look at her neighbor again, and she looked in a hurry when she got off the car.

Cough, it must be caused by motion sickness.

Finally survived the torment of the bus, Jiang Ning looked at the tall buildings in front of her eyes, and felt helpless.

So what.She can't get in at all...

From time to time, boys and girls who are about the same age as me swipe the access control card to enter this building that specializes in collecting dreams and producing stars.

Jiang Ning grabbed the strap of her schoolbag, turned around and left unwillingly, so just wait here.

Just as she was bored with lowering her head and stomping her feet, turning three times to the left and three times to the right, Jiang Ning suddenly heard someone shouting to herself.

"Hey, won't you go in?"

Jiang Ning raised her head.In front of him was a boy who looked a few years older than himself, with a pair of smiling eyes.

"You mean... me?"

The boy nodded, and suddenly realized: "Oh, have you lost your access control card?" He looked around and looked around, "Strange, did the security guard on duty go to the toilet? Otherwise, you can just ask him to swipe his card." By the way, why are you still standing there in a daze, let me hold the door for you, senior, okay..."

"Ah...I'm sorry," Jiang Ning finally came to her senses, and trotted into the door.

No matter, let's go in first.

"You're new here, right?" The boy looked Jiang Ning up and down, "You were discovered by scouts?"

Scout?A scout is a scout.

Jiang Ning nodded nervously, and smiled awkwardly at the boy.

The boy also laughed: "It's really pretty. I'll tell you secretly, she's prettier than more than half of the girls in the company."

Jiang Ning didn't answer. She kept paying attention to the boys and girls passing by her. From time to time, someone stopped and bowed to the boy to say hello, and at the same time secretly looked at Jiang Ning beside the boy.

Just didn't see Yunho.

"Senior, are we going to the practice room now?" Jiang Ning asked.

The boy looked at Jiang Ning, who was standing up straight, and never bowed to others, and became suspicious: "Are you really a new trainee?"

Jiang Ning's eyes wandered: "Of course."

"Actually, you don't know me, do you?"

Of course I don't know each other.Didn't you ask me why I didn't come in on your own initiative?

"I know you." Jiang Ning has just heard those people call the boy "Senior Junxiu". "After I joined the company, I heard the name of Senior Junxiu early in the morning. That is, I don't have a chance to meet you."

Junxiu folded his arms and looked at Jiang Ning.

Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Jiang Ning hurriedly added: "By the way, Senior Yunhao and I are fellow villagers. We are very familiar. Zheng Yunhao from Gwangju, senior, have you heard of it?"

"Zheng Yunhao?" A smile of unknown meaning appeared on Junxiu's face, "You mean, you know Zheng Yunhao very well?"

Jiang Ning felt that Junxiu's smile was a bit weird, but she couldn't go back on what she had said, so she could only nod her head: "Yes, we are alumni, we have known each other for many years..."

The smile on Junxiu's face deepened: "That's it. Then what's your name?"

"Ginger Ning."

"Ginger?" A look of surprise flashed across Junxiu's face, "Ginger for ginger, lemon for lemon?"

"Eh? It's..." Junxiu's explanation of her name made Jiang Ning feel a little strange. This is usually what she said when she introduced herself.

Junxiu suddenly patted himself on the head: "That's right, that's Jiang Ning. Oh, I said it looks familiar, and it's in that guy's wallet... Oh, my memory haha. Looking at it now, it looks even better than the photo A little hahahaha."

Jiang Ning looked at the senior who suddenly smiled "stupidly", and couldn't help waving her hand: "Senior, are you okay?"

Junxiu still smiled like a flower: "So, you are the legendary 'Little Ginger'."

"What?" Jiang Ning was at a loss.

Junxiu seemed to be desperately restraining the smile on his face: "It's nothing." Turning around, he muttered to himself, "It seems that guy only dared to call her that behind his back."

It's not the way to beat around the bush like this.

Jiang Ning took a breath, and asked directly: "Senior, may I ask if you saw Yunhao... Senior Yunhao? I have something to ask him."

Junxiu looked innocent: "I didn't see it. I don't know him very well. Don't you two know each other very well? Why are you asking me?"

Jiang Ning smiled helplessly.

Maybe it's really unfamiliar.Maybe Yunho only got close to the girl who answered his phone... Hmph.

"Gu—" Jiang Ning's stomach growled at this time.

Junxiu laughed unabashedly this time: "Hungry?"

Jiang Ning smiled awkwardly.Anyway, if you want to deny it, you can't deny it.

Junxiu looked at his watch: "I wanted to practice on my own before my partner came, so I might as well have a meal first. I'll treat you."

"Eh? Why?"

"What why. Am I not your senior?" Junxiu patted Jiang Ning's schoolbag, leaned down and said softly, "If you don't leave now, the teacher will really come to class later, I can't save you."

It turned out that he already knew that he was not a trainee...

Jiang Ning no longer hesitated, and smiled: "Thank you, senior."
