Chapter 183 179. Growing Up (Two in One)

Ah du!

Ah du!

The phone placed aside vibrated twice in a row.

After glancing at He Jingshu and Li Zhongxin who were busy next to him, Gu Heng took the phone in his hand.

[Dizi No. [-] Vinegar Jar]: Picture.jpg
[Dizi No. [-] vinegar jar]: Da da da, I'm back
Click on the photo, it is a selfie of Lin Yuner.

Probably because he just changed into his concert clothes, so I came here to give him a bad fart.

Although Ms. Lin Yuner didn't ask him if he looked good, but if he dared to ignore the first photo, the end would be bad.

After the meeting two days ago, she went to Tokyo with the other members of the group the next day.

And the first performance of Girls' Generation's Dongying concert tour will be tonight, this New Year's Eve.

After skillfully saving the photo and setting it as the background of the phone screen, Gu Heng sent the screenshot of the phone screen to his girlfriend.

Probably during the break before the concert, Lin Yuner's reply came very quickly.

[yoona]: Yay, have you paid the usage fee for the portrait right?

[Gu Heng]: No, remember first

[yoona]: It’s okay to remember, but interest will be calculated~ When I return to Seoul, I’ll settle it all at once!

Gu Heng smiled, and was hesitating whether to call her now, but received another call on his mobile phone.

"Li Ran?"

Gu Heng put the phone to his ear and glanced at the scenery outside the window.

Even though it was just approaching evening and there was still some orange and golden sunset glow in the sky, there were very few pedestrians on the street.

Although the Lunar New Year holiday in South Korea is only three days, the concept of returning home for reunion on New Year's Eve is always the same.

Looking away, Gu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Call me now to pay New Year's greetings? Isn't it a bit early?"

Li Ran on the phone laughed twice.

"It's not only a New Year's greeting, but also a report to the boss."

"Huh?" Gu Heng thought for a while and asked, "The KBS cooperation is finalized?"

After the Wavve platform was officially finalized a few days ago, many follow-up preparations are in full swing.

Not only will the two short dramas directed by Kim Jong-hak be broadcast simultaneously after the platform goes online, Yunguo is also planning to co-produce and launch a drama series that will be broadcast simultaneously on the Internet with KBS TV station.

"Yes, the kbs drama production center sent a reply this morning. I just checked the content roughly, and there is basically no problem. The screenwriter and script are determined by kbs, but the director and production team are determined by us."

Gu Heng hummed, but he was not surprised.

In South Korea's film and television productions, screenwriters have a much higher voice than Huaxia.

"It sounds like they already have the target scope of the project?" Gu Heng tapped on the table top of the dining table and asked in deliberation.

"Yes, I preliminarily confirmed a script called "good doctor", and said that more detailed information will be sent to us in the next year."

"It turns out that we are here to share the risk"

Gu Heng laughed, "Let's talk about it again, such as casting, you can't suffer."

"Okay," Li Ran hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The other party also mentioned the point of casting."

Gu Heng took a small piece of pastry that He Jingshu handed to him, threw it into his mouth, and asked, "How do you say it?"

Li Ran replied.

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Xiuzhi?"

"Father, mother!"

Downstairs in the unit, Pei Xiuzhi, who didn't even have time to change into a down jacket, rushed down the steps and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Crazy girl, why did you come down without even wearing a coat? Don't you know the temperature outside now?"

Mother Pei patted Pei Xiuzhi's head lightly, and was about to take off her coat for her.

"It's neither cold nor cold," Pei Xiuzhi shook her head, dragged her parents and younger brother Pei Zhixun into the unit building, her tone was cheerful and excited, "Why did you come here without saying a word?"

Father Pei rubbed her hair, "Didn't you not be able to come back on New Year's Day a while ago? Abba thought, you must be missing home, and then it happened that the Taekwondo Association here in Seoul invited Abba to come here after the new year." chatting, so I brought you, Mom, and Zhixun together."

"So that's how it is." The corners of Pei Xiuzhi's mouth curved even wider, even a little cute and silly.

After entering the elevator, Mother Pei laughed and told Pei Xiuzhi in a low voice,

"Actually, the Taekwondo Association in Seoul didn't invite him. He didn't sign up. He thinks about you every day at home. Zhixun and I are almost getting calloused."

Her voice was so low that only the family in the elevator could hear.

Father Pei suddenly coughed several times in embarrassment, "What are you talking about here?"

Pei Xiuzhi pursed her lips, trying not to laugh too happily.

The elevator quickly came outside her residence.

pat.

Pressing the doorknob, Pei Xiuzhi turned her face and said, "Papa, Oh Mom, Zhixun, come in quickly!"

Being dragged into the living room by Pei Xiuzhi, Mother Pei looked at the furnishings in the house, nodded and said, "This place is quite spacious."

"That's right, before I rented a house, I asked Inna Oni to help me choose it. She has a lot of experience!"

"You're smart." Mother Pei tapped her forehead, "Let's go, your father bought a bunch of vegetables, let's go to the kitchen first."

"Okay," Pei Xiuzhi looked at his father, "Then Dad, you can take Zhixun around~"

With that said, she took two plastic bags of vegetables and meat from her father, and went to the kitchen with her mother.

Mother Pei turned on the tap, and the tap water splashed down into the sink.

She took a small handful of vegetables from Pei Xiuzhi's hand and put them into the water, and asked, "Do you all live here alone now?"

Last month, Pei Xiuzhi told her on the phone that she had rented a place outside, and she and her husband were a little worried.

The eldest in the family is married, and the youngest is still studying by her side, but Pei Xiuzhi is alone.

"Mmmmm~"

"Aren't you going back to the dormitory?"

"... sometimes back."

"Well, speaking of which, where are your teammates? Are they all in Seoul, or have they gone home? If not, invite them over for dinner tonight. Anyway, your father bought such a pile of vegetables. Our family of four couldn't finish it."

"It might be inconvenient for them." Pei Xiuzhi subconsciously avoided this topic.

Mother Pei finally realized something strange, "Are you having a conflict with your teammates?"

Pei Xiuzhi shook her head quickly, "No, no!"

"Then what are you doing?"

Pei Xiuzhi lowered her head and cleaned up all kinds of kitchen utensils on the table, her tone was free and easy, "Oh Mom, there are some things that can't be helped."

Appearance, strength, chance.
The level of popularity within the group is inevitable.

When the gap is not obvious, the relationship can often be bridged, but when one of them suddenly explodes in popularity several times that of the other members, no matter how hard they try, it is inevitable that they will become unfamiliar with each other.

Even Pei Xiuzhi carefully tried to get close to other members.

Turning her head to see the unconcealable worry on her mother's face, Pei Xiuzhi hugged her arm and acted like a baby, "Oh mom, don't want this kind of expression, it's not like I don't have any friends, like Zhien, Zhenzhen, Zhiyan. If not You suddenly said that you would come over, I was going to find Jiyan with Zhienzhen today."

Mother Pei's complexion finally improved a bit, "So, are we delaying your social interaction?"

"No!" Pei Xiuzhi raised her hand and swore, her eyes bent into crescent moons, "I definitely didn't mean that!"

"Jiyeon Jiyeon, try this!"

An afternoon tea restaurant somewhere in Songpa District.

In the booth in the corner, two girls sat facing each other.

After cutting a portion of tiramisu into small pieces, Li Zhien used a fork to distribute it to the girl's plate across the table.

"Thank you~" The girl with cold and beautiful eyes said something to Li Zhien, but she was not too polite.

Li Zhien smiled, "How about trying it out, I like the taste of this very much."

Park Ji-yeon, a member of the popular idol group T-ara, is the same age as her only one month apart.

In the variety show "Heroes" more than two years ago, she not only met Yoo In Na, an older Ou Ni, but also met Park Ji Yeon, a younger sister friend.

The friendship between the two has survived to this day.

Pu Zhiyan took a bite and nodded affirmatively, "It's delicious. It's rare that I can indulge in desserts."

Hearing this, the smile on Li Zhien's face froze for a moment.

It's not difficult for her to hear the slight loss in Pu Zhiyan's tone, and it's not difficult for her to guess the reason.

Half a year ago, Park Ji-yeon's group encountered an accident. Zhengsheng's popularity plummeted, and he is still enduring huge pressure from Internet public opinion to this day.

Li Zhien wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

Some things, until the truth came to light, could never be explained clearly, and her consolation didn't have any effect.

Li Zhien carefully cut half of the tiramisu on his plate and put it in Pu Zhiyan's plate.

Pu Zhiyan was amused by her, "You can't be so indulgent, can you?"

Hearing this, Li Zhien quickly forked the tiramisu back again.

If it wasn't for comforting Pu Zhiyan, she would be reluctant
Pu Zhiyan bent down with a smile, "Ah, Li Zhien, you are too stingy, aren't you? Aren't you going home for a New Year's Eve dinner?"

Li Zhien paused, "What you said seems to make sense."

Park Zhiyan saw Cui Zhenzhen coming back from a distance, so she got up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, and the phone call of Zhenli is over, you two can go back, I really don't matter, don't worry about me~"

Today is the New Year's Eve holiday, she was resting at home, but Li Zhien and Cui Zhenzhen pulled her out to have afternoon tea to relax.

Seeing the smile on her face, Li Zhien hesitated before nodding, "Okay then."

Cui Zhenzhen returned to the two of them, "Huh? Is the afternoon tea time over?"

"Bingo!" Park Ji-yeon pushed the shoulders of the two and walked out, "Go home and celebrate the new year, my two friends~"

After bidding farewell to Park Zhiyan, Li Zhien and Cui Zhenzhen boarded the car for the return journey.

Sitting down on the back seat of the car, Li Zhien pulled on his mask and moved to Cui Zhenzhen's side.

Cui Zhenzhen hugged her tightly and smiled.

Although Li Zhien is one year older than her, the two of them have completely lost their stature.

She hugged Li Zhien as if she was hugging a little girlfriend.

Li Zhien struggled angrily, "Ah, Cui Zhenzhen, show some respect!"

The two quarreled for a while before they calmed down.

Li Zhien considered his words, and asked softly, "Auntie called just now?"

Just when the three of them were halfway through their afternoon tea, Cui Zhenzhen received a call and went out, and did not come back until the end.

There was no strange expression on Cui Zhenzhen's face, he just hummed, "Ask me if I'm going home for the New Year."

Li Zhien let out an ah, and sat up straight, "Then"

There was obvious concern in her tone.

Cui Zhenzhen smiled brightly, and asked back, "It was agreed last night that I will get half of the New Year's money red envelope I received from oppa. Why, are you planning to go back on your word?"

"of course not!"

"Then it's all right, I even brought gifts for Aunt Jingshu and Uncle Jingshu! I can't prepare for nothing."

Cui Zhenzhen's tone and expression were so natural that Li Zhien couldn't react in time.

Has she completely let go?

After a moment of silence, looking at this younger sister who was almost a year younger than her, Li Zhien suddenly said softly,
"Truth, you seem to be a little different."

Cui Zhenzhen hummed lightly, turned his face and looked out of the car window.

The afterglow of the setting sun had disappeared from the sky at this time, and the street was darkened.

A few scattered pedestrians also tightened their collars in the night wind, and hurried towards home.

The neon signs of the shops on the street lit up.

"It's the new year, people have to grow up, who can never change?" She whispered to herself.

After being quiet for a few seconds, she suddenly turned her head, "I almost forgot, Pei Rabbit said that she dove on us today and wanted to reimburse us for the afternoon tea, please remember for me, don't let her renege on the bill."

"So, did we delay your social interaction?"

"No, no! I definitely didn't mean that!"

Seeing Pei Xiuzhi trying to shake her head, Mother Pei smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and then said, "But speaking of it, your friends are really good."

"That's for sure." Pei Xiuzhi wrinkled her nose shyly.

"Zhien and Zhenzhen are both kind-hearted children," Mother Pei added while washing the vegetables, "Oh yes, and Zhien's oppa is also a very good young man."

"Huh? Oh mom, did you say Gu Heng oppa? Didn't he just say a few words to you?" Pei Xiuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to ask calmly.

The only time Gu Heng had contact with her parents was when she went to the capital with Li Zhien and Cui Zhenzhen.

At that time, Gu Heng had a few conversations with her parents on the phone, and roughly explained her situation in the capital.

Hearing her question, Mother Pei didn't take it seriously, "You mom is not an old antique that is behind the times, I also watch Xiao Zhien's video channel, half of the content in each video is her giving her oppa Looking for trouble, it's kind of like a prank variety show."

Pei Xiuzhi couldn't help laughing.

"And when you went to the capital last time," Mother Pei thought for a while, and added, "he would send us a text message every two days, telling us that everything is normal there, unlike you Girl, you know how to play like crazy."

Pei Xiuzhi was slightly taken aback, ". Gu Heng oppa, he sent you a message?"

She lowered her face so that her mother would not see the change in her expression.

"Huh? Didn't he tell you?"

Mother Pei asked a rhetorical question first, and then said clearly, "That's right, in his eyes, he probably just takes care of your underage little sisters."

The subtle emotions surging in Pei Xiuzhi's heart stopped abruptly.

"I will be 20 years old this year, and I will be an adult soon." She muttered.

"Oh, mom can't see it yet." Pei's mother said in a playful tone.

Pei Xiuzhi puffed her mouth.

There was a moment of silence in the kitchen.

"Oh mom." Pei Xiuzhi said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"I want to go to Zhien's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, what do you think?"

Mother Pei turned her face to look at her daughter.

Although Pei Xiuzhi's proposal was a bit abrupt, it seemed reasonable.

Just out of a mother's intuition, she faintly felt
As if sensing her gaze, Pei Xiuzhi hurriedly wanted to take back what she had just said.

"Oh mom, I'm just talking casually"

"Yes, I brought some traditional dim sum and yellow croaker fish here this time, all packed in gift boxes."

"Uh-huh……"

Pei Xiuzhi carefully hid her emotions.

Mother Pei put the washed vegetables aside, wiped her hands, "We Xiuzhi really don't seem to be little girls anymore."
