Chapter 278 We Can't Predict the Future
This was Zheng Xiuheng's decision, and it was not made rashly, nor was it just because of age. In Zheng Xiuheng's opinion, Soojung was already 30 years old and should be almost tired of this circle. Maybe she would have gotten married by then. In Zheng Xiuheng's opinion, a 30-year-old sister was truly grown up.
In addition, Zheng Xiuheng was no longer obsessed with revenge, so he had decided to cooperate with the guys from Qingsong Pavilion. If he couldn't take revenge head-on in the end, it would be best if Qingsong Pavilion took action without him getting his hands stained with blood.
For more than ten years, this has been Zheng Xiuheng's plan for his own piece of land in Korea.
"Thirty years old? There are still so many years in between. Are you sure you won't change?" Lee Hyori asked seriously without mocking Zheng Xiuheng's idea.
Zheng Xiuheng turned sideways this time and looked at Lee Hyo-ri, saying with unprecedented seriousness: "I don't know about others, but I will leave here because Korea is not my home. Maybe I will go back to the United States, or maybe to my father's hometown. Before coming to Korea, there were only two things I liked!"
"Which two?" Lee Hyori asked in surprise, but her heart felt heavy.
Zheng Xiuheng looked a little lonely and nostalgic, but he still replied sincerely: "One is my sisters, and the other is playing. Compared with simply talking about music, I like the feeling of playing more. The notes and music created by my own hands can surprise, delight, laugh, and sadden people. These are what I like, and they are the only two things I can like after my parents and Xiujing's parents passed away!"
"But when I came to Korea, I almost lost the only two things I still like, so I don't like this country. If it weren't for some reasons, if it weren't for Xiujing and Xiuyan's dream to be here, maybe I would have taken them away from here a long time ago. Even though Xiujing said she didn't want to be an artist, it can be seen that she doesn't reject it. Although she is not as persistent as her sister, she is also very interested. So I still need to stay here, this is the biggest reason!"
"I don't know what the future will be like, but even if I get married and have children in Korea, I won't choose this place as my permanent residence!"
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng doesn't like this country. It has nothing to do with the cultural atmosphere, social conditions or those strange systems. It's just that the days after arriving in South Korea are the most painful and darkest time in his life except for the departure of his loved ones.
Lee Hyori suddenly discovered that Jung Soo-heng had so many sad and curious stories. How did Jung Soo-heng live in the past two years since he came to Korea?
She asked Liu Xiye, and Liu Xiye just said that he was working non-stop, as if his only purpose of existence was to make money.
She also asked Soo-jung, and Soo-jung just said that the family owed a lot of money, so her brother worked so hard, but Lee Hyori knew that there must be another story behind it.
However, Lee Hyo-ri had heard enough today, so she didn't want to ask any more questions. In her opinion, Zheng Xiuheng must have never told anyone about this, so maybe she was the first one?
"It's just living abroad, it's not...what are you thinking about, Lee Hyori!"
Lee Hyo-ri blushed and shook her head hastily. She turned around in Zheng Xiuheng's puzzled eyes, and the two looked at each other. Lee Hyo-ri said, "I have another question!"
"You ask!"
"Since your disease has side effects, why not find a girlfriend? If you have a girlfriend, these side effects won't be considered side effects, right?" Lee Hyo-ri asked blushingly, but her mind recalled the first time Jung Soo-heng went crazy, and she suddenly felt that if she really became his girlfriend, this guy might go crazy and someone might die.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't know that Lee Hyo-ri was recalling the feeling of the first time they had sex. Instead, he said very seriously: "If it was somewhere else, maybe I could do it, but I am in the entertainment industry now. This rotten circle is full of temptations and traps. This is why I can't give any answer. I don't think I can avoid it all!"
"Tsk, so this is probably because you have a weak will?" Lee Hyori said dissatisfiedly, but her blushing face looked a little strange.
Zheng Xiuheng thought about his current situation, Min Xianyi, a woman who looked at him like a sunflower, and Kim Hyun-a who almost treated him as a father. In addition to physical problems, perhaps it was indeed related to willpower.
"Even if my willpower is not strong, if someone can change me and make me strong-willed, I will not reject it!" Zheng Xiuheng said with a smile, and then he stretched out his hand, picked up Lee Hyori, and put her directly on his lap. This way of holding a baby seemed particularly... strange in the narrow corridor.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you having another attack?" Lee Hyori didn't resist at all. Instead, she put her arms around Jung Soo-heng's neck and started complaining.
Zheng Xiuheng smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I have already developed antibodies against you, so I shouldn't get sick again!"
"Oh, why don't you just die!"
"Bang!"
Lee Hyo-ri angrily raised her forehead and knocked it on Zheng Xiuheng's chin, and then...
“Ouch, it hurts!”
Zheng Xiuheng replied helplessly: "It's not my fault!"
Lee Hyo-ri stretched out a hand and rubbed her forehead, then put her arms around Zheng Xiuheng's neck and asked with a blushing face: "I have one last question!"
"ask!"
"I admit that I do like you a little bit!"
"Um!"
"I also believe everything you said, including your past and that strange disease!"
"Um!"
"I don't even rule out the possibility that you want to take care of your sister, or that there are other mysterious reasons!"
"but……"
"Um!"
"What the hell are you saying?" Lee Hyori shouted dissatisfiedly, her eyes wide open , looking like she was about to get really angry.
Zheng Xiuheng immediately shut up and signaled that he would stop talking. Lee Hyo-ri then continued, "But I'm already 27 years old this year!"
"Isn't it twenty-eight?"
"Age, age!"
"Okay, keep talking, keep talking!" Zheng Xiuheng kissed Lee Hyori on the cheek with a dry laugh, then closed his mouth again.
"I'm already twenty-eight... twenty-seven, twenty-seven!"
Staring at Zheng Xiuheng's smiling face, Lee Hyori felt like she was about to become an exploding balloon, but what she wanted to say at the moment was very important, so she forced herself to calm down.
"By the time Xiujing is 30, I will be over 40. Do you know what this means for a woman?"
Zheng Xiuheng put away his smile and was a little dazed...
"Even if I tell you now that I am willing to wait for you and accompany you until Xiujing becomes a complete adult, what about you? What promises can you make to me? We can't predict the future. No matter how confident and determined you are, I don't have much confidence in a weak-willed pervert like you. I think you won't be able to stand me until I'm thirty-five, or even earlier, before I'm forty!"
"Like you said, being in this circle is full of temptations. You yourself said you can't control it, so how can I trust you?"
“Can you give me an answer?”
Lee Hyori's problem is very realistic. She is afraid of being serious about relationships. The things you pursue seriously and not seriously are completely different. Lee Hyori is very serious now. She is a smart woman. Although she is always blushing and angry at Zheng Xiuheng, it is only because she doesn't hate him.
Lee Hyori is now seriously considering her future. She wants to be with Jung Soo-hyung, but she also knows that this guy doesn't like her as much as she thought. Although she doesn't want to admit it, she seems to be more proactive in their relationship. At least this guy hasn't come to visit her on set, right?
In fact, she believed that Zheng Xiuheng was sick. In fact, when they first met, Zheng Xiuheng's coldness and indifference were not pretended, but real coldness. Even if she was Lee Hyori, he didn't seem to be very interested in her. Even if they had sex, he still looked dead.
But as they got to know each other, the more Lee Hyori understood Jung Soo-heng, the more she was amazed. Jung Soo-heng was really so special. Even now, he still seemed full of mystery, as if he was always hiding many, many secrets.
And the thing that Lee Hyori cares about the most is... her attitude is so obvious, but this bastard actually ignored her. This is a huge blow to Lee Hyori, who has always been full of confidence and thinks she is extremely charming.
Of course, these are all reasons, but the most important one is that Lee Hyori fell in love with this man, and not just love, but even a little heartbroken. It was very strange to look at Zheng Xiuheng. She wanted to get close to him and care for him like a younger brother, but as soon as they met, they would start quarreling after just three sentences.
Lee Hyori doesn't know how much Jung Soo-heng likes her, so even if Jung Soo-heng makes a promise here and says, "Let's get married when Soo-jung is 30 years old," Lee Hyori's feelings will not change, because Jung Soo-heng's words mean that he will not settle down in the next ten years. With Jung Soo-heng's will, Lee Hyori seems to be able to see his future, and of course women like Han Ga-in continue to appear around her.
Lee Hyo-ri doesn't care about other women now, she just hates the feeling of competition with other women. The reason for not caring is very simple, because the two of them have not confirmed their relationship. This is also the problem that Lee Hyo-ri has been struggling with, so today she wants to make everything clear. As for what the result will be and what she expects, she herself is actually not clear, because the first meeting between the two of them has already overcome too many obstacles...
The corridor was very quiet. Zheng Xiuheng was thinking about Lee Hyori's question very seriously. Both of them seemed to have forgotten that they should go home.
Zheng Xiuheng took a long time to think this time. The quiet air had been flowing for more than ten minutes. Lee Hyo-ri looked at Zheng Xiuheng who was looking at the front seriously and was also a little dazed. After a while, she came back to her senses and cursed inwardly: "Why are you being crazy? This boy just looks a little mature, there's nothing special about him!"
"I see!"
"Oh, you're going to die. You scared me to death!" Lee Hyo-ri stretched out her hand and hit Zheng Xiuheng on the chest and shouted in dissatisfaction. Zheng Xiuheng's sudden shout really scared her.
Zheng Xiuheng looked at her and said seriously, "Actually, you've already told me the answer?"
"Speak nicely, or I'll really get mad!" Lee Hyori said angrily. It sounded like she was being teased.
Zheng Xiuheng lowered his head, looked into her eyes, and replied sincerely: "We can't predict the future!"
Lee Hyori was stunned when she heard this, and stared at Zheng Xiuheng blankly, looking a little dazed. Perhaps it was because she really said this sentence, and at this moment she didn't know how to answer.
Zheng Xiuheng actually agreed with what Lee Hyori said, so he seriously considered giving her an answer. But after racking his brains, he seemed to have no answer. Let her stay with him? Give her a promise to get married in the future? Although Zheng Xiuheng said it, he was not sure if he would do it in the future. Thinking of this, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly remembered what Lee Hyori said.
"I think you are right. We cannot predict the future. I may make a solemn vow to you right now, but one day we may want to stay away from each other because of some trivial matter or because our feelings have faded. These are all possible. We all live in the 21st century. Strikes and sweet words are just a few words. If possible, I can say a lot of things to make you... no, I should say things to make women happy, but that has nothing to do with my behavior and the future!"
"If possible, I want to continue to get along like this, until one day you really can't leave me, and I can't leave you. At that time, there is no need to consider these unnecessary problems. Just think of it as a group of lonely people!"
"Who is lonely? My light shines all over Korea. I don't know how many people like me!"
"What's the point? You'll only like one person anyway!"
"cut!"
Lee Hyo-ri blushed and replied, then exhaled heavily. She originally wanted to ask Zheng Xiuheng for an answer, but now she realized that there is no answer to love. What's the point of saying nice things, as if they will never break up if they are together.
"Sister, how could I have such a little woman's thoughts? Isn't this bastard laughing at me in his heart?"
Lee Hyori blushed not because she was shy, but because she was angry that she was almost lost in the ocean of emotions. Just think about how free and easy she was before she met Jung Soo-heng?
Work, work, work, work…and more work.
In fact, the life of a celebrity is like this. The more they have, the more they lose. However, what they have is what more than 90% of human beings want.
Zheng Xiuheng reached out and picked up the high-heeled shoes on the stairs behind and put them in Lee Hyori's arms, then stood up.
"what?"
"Let's go home. It's been a long time. I'm afraid the girls will be angry!" Zheng Xiuheng hugged Lee Hyo-ri and turned to walk upstairs.
Lee Hyo-ri held her high heels in her hand and asked unhappily, "Why don't you ask me what I think about what you said?"
"Isn't the answer obvious?"
"What do you mean by obvious? You mean I'm a very casual woman, right?"
"How could that be? I just think that as my cousin's woman, she should be on my side!"
" What kind of logic is this?"
"Hyori!"
"Little bastard, call me sister!"
"You seem to have gained a little weight!"
"Bang!"
The flying high heels finally landed lightly on Zheng Xiuheng's shoulder. Lee Hyo-ri looked at Zheng Xiuheng's triumphant expression and suddenly felt as if this 23-year-old bastard had seen through everything about her. The most polite thing was that she was so soft-hearted that she couldn't bear to hit him...
After staring blankly at Zheng Xiuheng for a long time, as they were about to reach their floor, Lee Hyo-ri suddenly said, "Hey!"
"Anything else?"
"Didn't you say you were good at sweet talk?"
"Uh, is there?"
"Yes, tell me now. If I'm happy, I'll give you less trouble in the future. If I'm not satisfied... hehe!"
"I will be with you through life and death, and I will be happy with you. I will hold your hand and grow old with you."
"What? What? Who told me to speak Chinese? What does this mean? Is this a curse word?"
"Of course not, it's just describing the relationship between comrades!"
Comrade?
"Bang!"
"Oh, you really hit me!"
At this moment, the high heels are flying...
