()Chapter 2: Strange city, different, she·now

Cui Xiuying sat cross-legged at the small table in the living room, ignoring Marina who looked surprised next to her, and ate the takeaway ramen from the bowl.

Marina watched her carefully put aside the ham in the toppings, then stirred the bean sprouts and noodles, and then started stuffing them into her mouth. She sucked the noodles, and then took a careful bite of the ham.

The noodles are eaten boldly, but the action of biting into the ham still looks quite elegant.

"What's wrong?" Marina was still looking and thinking. Unexpectedly, Cui Xiuying, who lowered her head and made a fuss, muttered and spoke first.

"What's wrong?"

"Sister, why do you keep looking at me? Don't you want to eat?" Cui Xiuying raised her head while chewing and looked back at Marina.

"I just think you're a little weird." Marina didn't come back to her senses for a moment. She answered blankly and smoothly. As soon as she said the words, she felt a little regretful. Her brain was working quickly, thinking about how to answer the words without hurting her.

Just get to your teammates.

"What's weird? Is eating weird?" Cui Xiuying continued to eat noodles.

"の..., you usually don't like to eat bean sprouts, so you always give them to me... Also, you usually eat very quickly, but not so... so..."

"Bold and unrestrained?" Marina was still looking for a more euphemistic word to describe it, but Cui Xiuying picked it up herself.

"Keke, I should say you are more masculine. Although you are usually careless, you are still very ladylike when eating."

"That's because there are people around. Girls, it is inevitable to be more reserved. I slept so much today, and I really felt a little hungry when I woke up. Besides, there is only sister here, so I don't have to hide anything." Cui Xiu

Yingmeimei took a sip of the noodle soup and thought to herself, this will scare you. If you knew that a few years later, there would be a "God of Cookery" crowned above my head, standing tall in the Korean music industry, and becoming China's online Korean entertainment.

I wonder what you will think about the legend of the novel. "As for bean sprouts,...to be honest, I have thought about it a lot these days." Cui Xiuying leaned sideways as she spoke, holding a wooden stick in one hand.

The chopsticks were stirring the remaining noodle soup in the noodle bowl, and her unsmiling face was looking deeply at the bottom of the bowl. The serious and somewhat lonely expression made Marina couldn't help but straighten her back and listen seriously.

"Sister, you also know that the current situation of our group can basically be regarded as being abandoned by the company." Cui Xiuying raised her head and looked directly at Marina, successfully ignoring the bean sprouts question. She saw Marina's lips move.

He moved, but in the end, he said nothing. "I don't know what my sister thinks. I feel unwilling to accept it. I have worked so hard and tried every means. Is it going to end like this?"

Marina's expression seemed to struggle for a moment, but she still said: "I know you are not willing to give in, and so am I. However, some things will not have good results if we work hard. Success may require many reasons, but if it fails, just one

enough."

"Has sister decided to give up?" Cui Xiuying's eyes focused on Marina's eyes. Marina felt that the gaze seemed a little burning and turned her head slightly. "I don't know, but now I want to take a rest. I miss Hokkaido very much. I miss it so much."

Mom and Dad. I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I was sitting in the classroom again, but the faces of the classmates around me were so blurry. I could no longer remember their faces. When I woke up, I suddenly felt that I had left my hometown for a long time.

"

Hometown? You can go back, but there is a place hidden in my heart that I can't go back to.

"I understand my sister's feelings, but this will not be my choice." Cui Xiuying lowered her head, and scenes of strange yet extremely familiar scenes replayed in her mind. These scenes were like layers of dizzying fog.

Covering up the impossible path home. In the past few days, I have been entangled in this half-dream and half-awake image. Between being lost and awake, there is both the sadness of missing and the joy of relief.

"I still remember the scene when I happily described my dream to my family. There was no enthusiastic support or warm praise. There was only stern reprimand or casual perfunctory. In fact, at that time, I knew that my sister Xiuzhen was actually doing the same thing as me.

Dream. It can be said that she is my enlightenment. However, she did not dare to say it out, so she could only tell me secretly in private. The beautiful pictures she described attracted me, and I began to yearn for that stage.

When I was sure that this was what I wanted, I was braver than her. I said it in front of everyone in the family, and I firmly believed that I would do it." At this point, Cui Xiuying couldn't help but

I laughed consciously, and a picture was fixed in my mind. The stubborn little girl stood on the sofa with her hands folded and her waist straight, looking down at all the adults present. Her eyes were wide open, her cheeks were bulging, and she was trying to be serious.

Her little face is so cute.

"I remember that it was in 2000. When my family wasn't paying attention, I coaxed Sister Xiuzhen to join the s·m_open_audition and was successfully selected as a trainee. When my family found out about this bold and private action, I was surprised that they didn't

Instead of showing any anger, I began to face the so-called dream that I, a child, said. Instead of blindly denying it, I began to discuss my ideas with me. I knew that I had won for the first time. The unknown barrier may not be what I imagined.

So insurmountable.”

Cui Xiuying unconsciously recalled that time when her father, a serious man, spoke to the little girl in an equal tone for the first time. The two figures, one big and one small, "bargained" in the study for a long time. Mother and woman

I walked into the study several times by taking advantage of the opportunity of bringing drinks and fruits. I still remember the way she stood quietly behind her father with a tray in her arms, a smile on her face.

"Then I started training in the company. At that time, I was traveling between the company and school every day. My good friends who were close to me gradually became estranged because we didn't play together. The school I went to was an elementary school affiliated with a missionary school.

Moreover, it is a girls' school, and the management is very strict. After knowing that I was a trainee, the teachers and classmates looked at me a little strangely, and my grades and small actions in class were closely monitored. Life seemed to be a little different all of a sudden.

.When I sleep in bed at night, I will ask myself whether it is worth it to be so tired. Training, study, these difficulties are like a big mountain, which makes me really breathless. Are these what I want? After thinking about it, I

I thought about Sister Xiuzhen who used to run to my bed at night and describe her dreams to me. I thought about my courage and the changes brought about by my courage. When I thought of this, I said to myself, Xiuying.

, you are a brave child. No matter how high the mountain is, if we climb it slowly and don’t give up, we will definitely be able to climb over it. Making your debut is like climbing to the top of the mountain and you can see a wider world. After that, you can look back.

, all this under the mountain is nothing at all. Xiuying, Huaiting~!"

Having said this, Cui Xiuying straightened her legs and leaned back with her hands to support her body. "Not long after such a day, an opportunity came. The company selected people to participate in the Japanese-Korean duo competition held by TV Tokyo, and was selected.

It is possible to debut later, and this is a debut. Originally, this was a rare opportunity, but when I knew that the selected candidate would debut in Japan, many senior trainees who were suitable and had better conditions than me backed down.

I may not have been the best in the company at that time, but I was one of the bravest people. So, sister, you know, I won again!" When saying these words, Cui Xiuying's eyes seemed to flash with light.

.

"Then, I went to Japan, met you, my sister, and made my debut. Now, it seems that we have failed. But I will not give up my dream. Maybe I will be laughed at, and maybe my failed debut will make my future difficult.

It’s more difficult to walk. I still regard these difficulties as big mountains. Cui Xiuying is a brave child, and I will continue to move towards the top of the mountain~! No matter how high the mountain is, we will climb it slowly. If we don’t give up, we will definitely be able to climb over it~!!”

Looking at Cui Xiuying, who gradually seemed to be talking to herself, and seeing her face that was still a little immature now become full of energy, Marina's heart beat hard for a few times. It's so cute, could she really be that person?

Do you lack courage like her? She suppressed the turbulent thoughts in her heart and said as calmly as possible: "You are worthy of our Mingming Xiuying. Sister, I also believe that you will win. Huaiting~!"

Marina's cheering seemed to suddenly wake up Cui Xiuying, who pursed her lips and puffed out her cheeks to cheer herself up. In fact, the words she said unconsciously just now seemed to be self-hypnotic, and Cui Xiuying's thoughts drifted far away. In a trance, she seemed to hear "

gee", I saw "The Boys", I saw icebergs, radishes, Sergeant Frog and Pea Dolls. Nine girls were holding hands in a circle under the spotlight, and tears seemed to be visible on their lowered faces... I came back to my senses.

She recalled those scenes and combined them with what she said, which seemed to have a strange effect of being arrogant. She couldn't help but blush all of a sudden.

"So, what are Xiuying's next plans? Are you going to stay in Japan?" Marina thought it was just the sequelae of passionate talk, and didn't think too much about it, so she asked the girl about her future plans.

"I'm going back to Korea. If I fail, I've failed. It's unrealistic to expect any compensation from the company. After I return to Korea, I will continue to work as a trainee at S·M. At least I will make my debut. Even though I failed, I still

I have a clearer understanding of this stage. To be honest, after debuting, I have been secretly annoyed more than once when faced with this stage. I regret that I neglected too much when I was a trainee, the training time was too short, and I did not learn too many things well.

, I am not prepared for many things. Besides, we are still a 15-year-old (Korean age calculation) young girl. Wherever we fall, we will get up again and move forward bravely. We are not afraid." Cui Xiuying pointed at her small breasts with a thumbs up, full of confidence.

Did a sparkling wink on Marina.

Cui Xiuying's funny expression completely amused Marina. The Japanese girl covered her mouth and laughed loudly. At this moment, she looked at Cui Xiuying with tender eyes, and the haze in her heart seemed to be quietly illuminated by a ray of sunshine. No.

No longer worried about her teammates, her appetite seemed to have returned. Even though the ramen was a little cold, Marina still ate it.

"チェスヨン?ああそう..." Seeing that the Japanese girl no longer paid attention to herself, Cui Xiuying let out a sigh of relief, and the whole person who was sitting relaxed. The bright smile slowly disappeared, and her face was full of emotions that Marina had never seen before.

Calm and calm. Putting the ramen bowl aside, with nothing to do, Cui Xiuying took her laptop and started surfing the Internet. Not long after, Marina, who was cleaning up, heard a sad male voice echoing in the living room. The reflection of her teammates on the laptop screen

The face was so blurry that I couldn't see clearly. I could vaguely see my lips opening and closing slightly in time with the music.

"Whose song is this? Although it sounds sad, the melody is very nice."

Cui Xiuying did not answer, but just raised her head, looked at Marina with a smile, and slowly sang along with the music: "I used to be very familiar with you, but now I don't understand you..."
