Chapter 6 06. Soju

As one of the transportation hubs in East Asia, flights at Incheon Airport operate around the clock.

As night falls, neon lights flash.

Inside the airport.

The oval-faced girl wearing a light gray suit jacket and a high ponytail, accompanied by her assistant, walked through the crowded crowd and said hello to the fans who came to pick her up from time to time.

In the more than three years since her debut, she has gone from being ignored everywhere to being very popular. At the age of twenty, she cherishes these hard-won things more than anyone else.

After finally returning to the nanny's car, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of exhaustion on her face.

"Zhien, let's rest in the car for a while. I'll take you home?" The assistant next to her, Li Suying, touched her hair.

"Okay, thank you, Ernie." Li Zhien nodded obediently.

As the nanny car drove out of the airport, Li Zhien was quietly distracted looking at the neon night scene outside the car window.

At the beginning of this year, under the arrangement of the company, she officially debuted in RB and began to enter the RB market. Naturally, her domestic schedule has been reduced a lot.

In the past few days, I have participated in a concert held by KBS in Hanoi, Vietnam. It has been a long time since I have been back home.

"I don't know if this guy Li Zhongxun has caused any trouble, and he has never taken the initiative to call me." The girl muttered.

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Li Zhien shook his head, calmed down, and took the phone into his hand.

"Rina Oni?"

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Li Zhien pressed the connect button without any hesitation.

After the accident in her family eight years ago, the girl who was forced to grow up prematurely had few friends who could truly enter her heart.

But since they participated in the variety show called "Heroes" two years ago, she and Ernie, who is eleven years older than her, have gradually become close friends.

Yoo In Na is one of the few people who can share her thoughts.

"Zhien?" A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Inna Oni, it's me." Li Zhien's tired voice had a little joy in it.

"Have you arrived in Seoul yet? I remember the flight is tonight, right?"

"Yes, I just left the airport now."

"Hey, it just so happens that I just came out of SBS TV station right now, how about" Yoo In Na deliberately paused for a second.

Li Zhien glanced at the time and responded tacitly, "See you in ten minutes!"

"okok!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhien leaned out of the back seat of the nanny's car and smiled flatteringly at the assistant who was driving, "Soying Oni, please take me to Uncle Jin's barbecue restaurant first~"

Li Suying glanced at her helplessly in the rearview mirror, "I know, I really don't stop for a moment."

As he spoke, the nanny car turned a corner at the intersection ahead and headed in another direction, blending into the night.

Ten minutes later.

The nanny van slowly stopped at the side of a barbecue restaurant.

After looking at the shining Chinese and Korean fonts on the shop sign, Li Zhien put away his small shoulder bag and smiled brightly at Li Suying,

"Soyoung Unni, you don't have to wait for me in a while. Inna Unni should drive out. Then I can just ask her to see me off."

Although Li Suying is only five years older than her, she has been married for two years and has been traveling abroad with her recently.

Li Zhien felt so sorry that he started to "drive people away" as soon as he arrived.

Li Suying naturally knew what this girl was thinking, and felt warm in her heart.

After hesitating for a while, she nodded, "Okay, then remember to send me a message when you finish the dinner and when you get home, but don't forget it."

"Do not worry!"

Li Zhien responded quickly, then opened the car door to observe the surrounding situation, and jumped out of the car quickly.

Seeing the girl's figure disappearing from the side door of the barbecue restaurant, Li Suying withdrew her eyes.

She took out her phone, looked at the photo of herself and her husband on the screen, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Thanks!"

Li Zhien expressed his thanks to the waiter who guided him to the door of the small private room in a fluent Chinese sentence.

Although this barbecue restaurant is opened in Seoul, the owner is a Chinese uncle from Northeast China, and many of the waiters in the store are young Chinese people who make a living in Seoul.

After thanking him, Li Zhien opened the door of the small private room.

Yoo In Na, who was wearing a plaid skirt, was already waiting inside, and there were a lot of barbecue dishes on the table.

"Renna Oni!" Li Zhien quickly came to the woman's side and held her arm intimately.

"We, IU," Yoo In Na pinched the girl's oval face and arched her fox-like eyebrows, "Long time no see."

Li Zhien bulged his mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "You can't pinch my face even if we haven't seen you for a long time."

"But didn't you do the same to your Jonghoon?" Yoo In Na raised an eyebrow and asked.

Li Zhien suddenly fell into deep thought, "That's different, I am her Noona!"

"Hey, then I'm not your Ernie?"

"Well, it's just different!" Perhaps because he knew he was in the wrong, Li Zhien casually brought up the topic, "Hurry up and eat the barbecue, or it will get cold in a while."

Yoo In Na was amused for a while, but she stopped teasing her intentionally. The two finally sat down and started to have dinner together.

Yoo In Na opened the cap of the soju bottle, poured some into their glasses, and asked, "I'm finally back. Can I rest at home for a while?"

"Yes, although the Japanese single of "Good Days" will be released in a few days, the overall focus will shift back to China." Li Zhien counted on his fingers, "The new single album will be released in two days."

It should be out in a month.”

"We, IU, are really big stars now," Yoo In Na pretended to be bitter, "Unlike my sister, I am an old woman who can only stay at home after turning thirty."

"Ah, how can Unnie say that? She is obviously a very charming actress, right? Moreover," Lee Ji-eun suddenly approached Yoo In-na, "I heard that the actor you worked with recently is not her."

Before she could finish her words, Yoo In Na blocked her lips with a wine glass, shook her head and said, "This little girl is gossiping without even a single word of her birth date."

Things like drama and love are always common in circles.

And the common ending of this common thing is often the end of the drama.

Yoo In Na has been in the industry for many years and naturally knows this well, so even though the other party seems to be quite enthusiastic, she is still a little wavering.

After entering my thirties, my attitude towards many things suddenly no longer dares to be casual.

Although Lee Ji-eun is not yet old enough to realize this, he also understands Yoo In-na's inner hesitation.

Smiling softly, she took her wine glass and touched it with Yoo In Na, "Okay, I won't torture you tonight, Unnie. Cheers~"

The clear wine ripples with the collision of the glasses.
