Chapter 193 Cousin
"This is my cousin. As for who she is, there's no need to introduce her, right?"
After the car drove back downstairs, looking at the nanny car parked at the door of the apartment, Zheng Xiuheng soon saw the woman who asked him to find a house.
This made Zheng Xiuheng feel helpless and a little curious.
This is naturally the case. When Han Ga-in and Lee Hyo-ri met for the first time, it was not because Jung Soo-heng was narcissistic. Han Ga-in was very clear about her feelings for him, and Lee Hyo-ri was also very open about her affection for him. Given their personalities and current circumstances, there would be no jealousy. After all, although Jung Soo-heng was ambiguous with the two, they were not in a real relationship. But while Jung Soo-heng was worried, he was also a little curious.
So after some hesitation, Zheng Xiuheng used Lee Hyori's excuse and introduced Lee Hyori.
Lee Hyo-ri was very upset and surprised at the moment. Looking at the woman in front of her, she quickly thought of who the woman Zheng Xiuheng went to see that night was.
Han Ga-in was also a little confused. She certainly didn't know that Zheng Xiuheng had a cousin, and it was even more impossible for her to know that Zheng Xiuheng's cousin was Lee Hyori, who is well-known in Korea.
Meeting under such circumstances is actually a very embarrassing thing for artists in the circle, or for those who have nothing to do with each other.
Watching the two people shaking hands and greeting each other awkwardly, Zheng Xiuheng still smiled secretly in his heart.
"Lee Hyori, can you give me an autograph?"
Park Ji-yeon at the side quickly took out a pen and notebook from her mountaineering bag, and excitedly handed them to Lee Hyori. Lee Hyori's fans are not limited to men and women, she is a true national-level female artist.
"Okay!" Lee Hyori took the notebook with a smile, but kicked Zheng Xiuheng's leg with her right foot, turned her head to look at him unhappily, and then pointed the tip of the pen at Park Jiyeon.
When Han Ga-in saw the little actions of the two, she believed what the cousins said, because they really didn't look like a couple, and Lee Hyori really looked like an older sister, but a more generous one.
"Her name is Park Ji-yeon, she is a trainee in the company. By the way, there is a house, but the monthly rent is quite high, it is on my floor!" Zheng Xiuheng's expression did not change, and he responded to Lee Hyo-ri casually. Seeing how cooperative this cousin was, Zheng Xiuheng was very happy. Thinking of the last time she said she was his cousin in front of others, he probably didn't expect Zheng Xiuheng to really recognize his cousin in front of others.
"I don't care about your monthly rent. You're the boss, just pay the money!"
Lee Hyori signed her name quickly, responded to Jung Soo-heng very straightforwardly, then smiled at Park Ji-yeon and handed the notebook back to her.
"Let's go upstairs first. It will be troublesome if someone sees us!"
Lee Hyori nodded. She actually felt a little bit of urgency for Han Ga-in next to her. She really didn't expect that the person Zheng Xiuheng went to meet last time was actually an actress, and the popular Han Ga-in. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to sabotage it that day. Now she couldn't what the relationship between the two was, but it felt like a date, especially since Han Ga-in was dressed so beautifully, obviously dressed up carefully, and much more beautiful than the image Lee Hyori had seen on TV.
But of course this emotion cannot be expressed. The first thing to do now is to understand the situation.
"By the way, besides the matter of the house, I just happen to have something I want to tell you!"
"What's the matter?" Zheng Xiuheng asked curiously as he looked at Lee Hyo-ri whose expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Let's talk about it later!" Lee Hyori glanced at Han Ga-in beside her, then replied to Zheng Xiuheng.
Han Ga-in was slightly startled, then immediately smiled and said, "I'll take Ji-yeon back upstairs to put the luggage away first. Senior Lee Hyo-ri, I'll take my leave first!"
"Han Ga-in, do you live here too?" Lee Hyo-ri suddenly asked with some surprise.
Han Ga In nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's upstairs in Xiuheng's room. I won't disturb you guys from talking about things. We'll go up first. Ji Yeon, let's go!"
"Hey! Lee Hyori, Mr. Zheng Xiuheng, goodbye!"
Park Ji-yeon happily bowed goodbye to the two of them while holding the notebook, then followed Han Ga-in into the apartment.
And Zheng Xiuheng followed in with a smile despite Lee Hyori's look of wanting to kill someone.
The two returned to the house. As usual, Lee Hyori kicked off her high heels, took off her coat and threw it directly on the sofa. Lee Hyori, who was wearing a white bottoming shirt, just fell down.
Zheng Xiuheng sighed helplessly, put the high heels she kicked in the middle of the road at the door, then walked to the sofa and said, "If you have anything else to say, just say it, but isn't it too rude for a guest like you to be so polite!"
"What do you mean guest or not? I'm your cousin. You said it yourself. Cousin Xiuheng, I'm thirsty. Do you have anything to drink?" Lee Hyori rested her head on her right arm, looked at Zheng Xiuheng and replied as a matter of course.
Zheng Xiuheng's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: "He is really shooting himself in the foot!"
However, it was obvious that Zheng Xiuheng would never satisfy Lee Hyori's wishes, so he sat directly next to Lee Hyori's thigh.
"You squeezed me!" Lee Hyo-ri kicked Zheng Xiuheng on the back with her right leg in jeans and shouted in dissatisfaction, but in fact Zheng Xiuheng didn't touch her. Zheng Xiuheng also felt this guy's dissatisfaction.
"Hurry up and tell me what you want to say, or I'll go back to MBC. I have a show tonight!" Zheng Xiuheng didn't indulge her. The two of them had not known each other for long, but they had many opportunities to communicate. They both knew each other a little. Zheng Xiuheng knew that according to Lee Hyori's personality, if he obeyed her once, it would definitely not end. And Zheng Xiuheng believed that at that time, she would really touch his head and say, "Xiuheng cousin is so good!"
Just thinking about Zheng Xiuheng makes me feel scary...
"You are kidding me, the show starts at midnight, why are you going so early? As for you, shouldn't you tell me about your relationship with Han Ga In?"
"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Zheng Xiuheng didn't even turn around, but raised the corners of his mouth and replied with a smile.
Lee Hyori, who was lying there, glared, then propped herself up, put her left hand around Zheng Xiuheng's neck, grabbed his wrist with her right hand, and suddenly fell backwards in Zheng Xiuheng's puzzled look. This is... strangling.
"I'll strangle you if you don't tell me!"
Zheng Xiuheng's eyes were about to roll back. After Lee Hyo-ri pulled him like this, he was no longer lying on his side, but lying down completely. Zheng Xiuheng, who was being strangled by his neck, leaned directly on her chest and felt the ball being squeezed down.
"Are you taking advantage of me?" Zheng Xiuheng suddenly moved his head, and Lee Hyori didn't really strangle her with all his strength. As a result, Zheng Xiuheng's movement made Lee Hyori very sensitive, and then...
"Hey, hey, hey, you're really squeezing me, let go!" Feeling that Lee Hyo-ri was really strong, although Jung Soo-heng didn't feel anything, he still pretended to be uncomfortable and cried out. He really didn't reject Lee Hyo-ri at all. Not only because he needed her so much, but also because Lee Hyo-ri pretended to be her cousin, which made Jung Soo-heng feel embarrassed, but he really recognized her in his heart and treated her as a good friend.
Of course the most important thing is that their relationship is not ordinary at all, plus she really helps and cares about him. When Zheng Xiuheng said Lee Hyori was cute last time, it was his sincere thought.
So, Zheng Xiuheng has a good fishing spirit and knows how to grasp Lee Hyori's mood. When he called her like this, Lee Hyori's face immediately looked much better.
Feeling the arm that was strangling him relax again, Zheng Xiuheng did not get up, just lying on Lee Hyo-ri's chest and replied: "It's the relationship we talked about last time. I think you guessed it!"
"Tsk, aren't you boyfriend and girlfriend? You just went on a date!" Lee Hyori's face turned red. She didn't expect that she would feel jealous in her heart. It was so embarrassing.
"Why are you strangling me!" Zheng Xiuheng cried out, feeling that this guy was strangling him again, he was speechless. In his eyes, Lee Hyo-ri was like a child sometimes.
"Answer me, are you guys dating?"
"If we are dating, we will live together. Why let her live upstairs!" Zheng Xiuheng replied very straightforwardly. If they are really dating, Zheng Xiuheng will naturally choose to live together.
Lee Hyori was delighted when she heard Jung Soo-hyung's answer, but at the same time, she felt nervous when she thought of the feelings Han Ga-in had expressed towards Jung Soo-hyung on the show. Although she didn't want to admit it, this woman was indeed very dangerous.
Although Lee Hyori did not admit in her heart that she liked Jung Soo-heng, in fact, her affection for Jung Soo-heng had almost reached the level of love, and the two had had a relationship, so Lee Hyori did care about this matter.
But according to her personality, she would not show it. When she thought about moving to this floor soon, she felt somewhat fortunate. If she had not had the sudden urge to ask Zheng Xiuheng to find a house for herself to move back, they might have secretly moved in.
"Tsk, you don't even want such a beautiful actress. You don't like men, do you?" Although Lee Hyori felt relieved, she still sneered with contempt.
Zheng Xiuheng certainly would not tolerate such a personal "insult". In Lee Hyori's astonished eyes, Zheng Xiuheng reached out and placed his hands on her wrists, easily pulling her hands to both sides, then quickly turned over, grabbed Lee Hyori's wrists with both hands and pressed them on the sofa.
"Asshole, what are you doing now!" Lee Hyori, who was used to being bullied by Jung Soo-heng, yelled with a blushing face. Because she was only wearing a thin base shirt, the way her chest rose and fell with each breath made her look very sexy.
Zheng Xiuheng lay down with a smile, resting his head on Lee Hyo-ri's chest, his chin raised, looking at her and smiling: "I'm just expressing my orientation!"
"You're just being a hooligan!" Lee Hyori yelled angrily. Her eyes were not very intense. On the contrary, her red face looked as if she was shy.
Zheng Xiuheng ignored her and simply lay down with his head tilted to the side. If someone saw Zheng Xiuheng resting his head on Lee Hyori's chest like this, with his hands holding her arms and pressing her on the sofa, they would definitely be shocked.
The two of them stayed in this position for two minutes, and Zheng Xiuheng suddenly said, "Your heart is beating so fast, are you nervous or shy?"
"It's your big-headed ghost!"
Lee Hyori, whose secret was discovered, raised her knee and hit his leg hard in shame and anger. Zheng Xiuheng didn't mind and instead closed his eyes and took a rest.
"Get out of here, asshole!"
"Zheng Xiuheng, are you going to die?"
"Asshole, I'm calling the police!"
"rogue!"
“Shameless!”
…
Lee Hyo-ri cursed for a long time until she was a little tired, so she stopped and looked at Zheng Xiuheng. Seeing that this guy didn't react at all, she stretched out her hands. When she found that he had loosened his grip on her hands, she quickly withdrew her hands.
"Could this kid have fallen asleep?" Lee Hyo-ri thought in surprise as she looked at Jung Soo-heng who didn't react at all.
He carefully reached out his hand and poked Zheng Xiuheng's head, but found no reaction and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lee Hyo-ri lay there without any extreme reaction. After a few minutes, she suddenly tilted her head carefully to look at the profile of the repaired face.
Seeing the guy leaning against her chest with his eyes closed and breathing steadily, Lee Hyori was so angry that she almost punched him. He could even fall asleep, which was really depressing. Lee Hyori thought Zheng Xiuheng was going to take advantage of her again.
To some extent, Lee Hyori no longer regards their current position as taking advantage of her.
However, Lee Hyo-ri did not disturb Zheng Xiuheng, but carefully reached out to take off his glasses and looked again. Zheng Xiuheng's handsome features became younger and more sunny, and he looked very comfortable and calm at this moment. At this moment, Lee Hyo-ri remembered that this little bastard seemed to be six years younger than him.
Zheng Xiuheng, 22 years old, does not look very mature, but he is not very childish either. Without his glasses, he looks just like a 22-year-old man. Unlike when he usually wears glasses, he always gives people an intellectual and calm feeling.
I heard some stories about Zheng Xiuheng from Yoo Hee-yeol, and I also knew that Zheng Xiuheng had a younger sister to take care of, so I also understood a little bit his hard work and persistence.
"If she wasn't so annoying normally, she would actually be pretty cute!"
Lee Hyori whispered softly, placing her right hand gently on Zheng Xiuheng's cheek, and her own face became even redder.
Lee Hyori originally wanted to give this guy a good beating, but when she saw Zheng Xiuheng's look, her heart softened.
"Tsk, I must be crazy to like a brat like you!"
“Bang!”
Suddenly, the big hand on Zheng Xiuheng's cheek was grabbed. When she looked down, she found that Zheng Xiuheng was looking up at her with a smirk on his face. Lee Hyo-ri's brain was short-circuited.
"Now you've completely admitted it, you really do like me!"
Seeing Zheng Xiuheng holding her right hand with a smile, Lee Hyo-ri finally reacted after a brief shock. Her expression was so wonderful, and then...
"I'm going to kill you, you bastard, for pretending to sleep!"
"I'm just closing my eyes and resting!"
The two immediately started "wrestling" on the sofa. Of course, it was mostly the ashamed and angry Lee Hyori who was attacking, while Jung Soo-hyung was just defending with a smile.
After making a fuss for a long time, Lee Hyori was really tired and finally lay down, but Zheng Xiuheng continued to rest his head on her chest.
It had been almost an hour since the two of them returned to the house, but they had been making such a fuss for a long time. Lee Hyori really felt that Jung Soo-heng didn't seem like a younger brother who was six years younger than her, but rather like a bad friend of the same age. Knowing that it would be difficult to defeat this kid, Lee Hyori stopped talking nonsense with him.
In addition to other secret reasons, I also had a real work reason to come see Zheng Xiuheng today.
"Didn't Yoo Hee-yeol and his team take on a film music composition job? I heard they wanted to recommend female artists from other companies to audition?"
"Yeah!" Zheng Xiuheng replied calmly. He was in a very good mood at the moment. Although his previous behavior seemed a little immature, in this situation, Zheng Xiuheng would feel more of the joy of life, rather than the loneliness of life.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng couldn't explain it clearly. Ever since Zheng Qilong died, when he left Sanlong Cave, and began to plan for the future, he felt an empty feeling in his heart. Although he had more and more, he felt more and more lonely.
Maybe Zheng Xiuheng knew why, but just didn't want to face it, but life has gradually become fulfilling and interesting these days. Especially in the evening when it's show time, Zheng Xiuheng likes the way of communicating with people through radio waves, and the two women he met who made him feel warm.
Of course, there is also the little girl HyunA who is very attached to him, the little Snowball who gets shy every time she sees him, and of course his own princess.
In addition, to a certain extent, a small part of Li Xiaole's matter has been completed, and there is no need to deliberately pursue this matter in the near future. Fang Shirong has not followed him and will not pay attention to him for the time being.
In fact, to some extent, Zheng Xiuheng did feel a lot more relaxed. Although he would not always be so relaxed, it did not affect his mood.
Lee Hyori felt the change in Jung Soo-heng and found it a little strange because Jung Soo-heng seldom spoke to her in such a calm, casual and gentle manner.
But this attitude made her feel comfortable.
"I heard that the script is very special and is adapted from a serial murder case...The female artist in your company you mentioned, isn't it for Han Ga In?" Lee Hyori didn't want to say this originally, but when she thought of Han Ga In today, she remembered something and asked in a stiff tone.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head, which made Lee Hyo-ri's chest itch and her face look very strange. Then he replied: "No, I really do have an actor management company, but it's very small, with only two artists!"
Lee Hyori was a little surprised. Although she was a little curious, she did not ask any more questions. Instead, she suddenly said seriously, "I want to act in this movie. Didn't you say that if I choose a role with a big contrast in image, maybe I can succeed? I think the heroine that Liu Xiye and others mentioned is pretty good!"
Zheng Xiuheng turned around in surprise, looked at the serious Lee Hyo-ri carefully, then shook his head and said, "You are not suitable!"
"Asshole, how do you know I'm not suitable!" Lee Hyori asked angrily. Zheng Xiuheng's words were too absolute, as if he looked down on her, which was really annoying.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't care. She had been angry more than once or twice. Zheng Xiuheng just explained, "I've said before that your image is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and so are your facial features. As for this role, unless you have the acting skills of a movie queen, it will be difficult to play it well. Here is the script, you can read it yourself. I'm really going to sleep for a while this time!"
Zheng Xiuheng took out the script from under the coffee table and handed it to Lee Hyori, then closed his eyes and dozed off.
While Lee Hyori was helpless, she was also satisfied with Jung Soo-heng's closeness. She picked up the script called "The Chaser" and flipped through it curiously.
