Chapter 334 I Really Like
Lee Hyori followed the brother and sister, walking on the road along the river, because Zheng Xiuheng did not return to the waiting area at the back, but walked slowly forward with Zheng Xiujung.
Zheng Xiujing's tears also subsided a lot. She lay on Zheng Xiuheng's back, put her arms around her brother's neck, and asked softly, "Brother, will we be together forever?"
"certainly!"
"Brother, when I come of age, will you chase me away?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't have the final say on matters of adulthood. It depends on your brother 's standards. You... it's still too early. Besides, if I can't see my lovely princess, my brother will be very troubled!"
Zheng Xiujing stretched her little head to the right side of Zheng Xiuheng's face, looked at her brother's profile, and asked sincerely: "Does that mean that my brother will take care of me for the rest of my life?"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded without hesitation and said sincerely, "Of course, if you don't find my brother annoying!"
"Boo!"
"Brother is so nice!" Krystal finally smiled, kissed Zheng Xiuheng on the cheek, and then put her little face against her brother's cheek with a smile. Although she still missed her mother a little in her heart, she was not alone now that her brother was with her.
Zheng Xiuheng fully realized today that his sister needs a lot and more care than he imagined.
Perhaps Zheng Xiuheng has ignored this problem all along. Whether it is him, Sooyeon, or Soojung, they are all children who have lost their parents. Of course, this does not mean that they really have no relatives.
However, in the case of Soo-jung and Soo-yeon, their immediate family members are basically their parents' previous generation, and most of them have passed away. Naturally, the remaining peripheral relatives will not take over and raise the two children.
In Zheng Xiuheng's case, his father was indeed an orphan, but his mother had a family, although they were not the legendary chaebols. But they were a very conservative Korean family, and they even discriminated against neighboring countries and opposed his parents' marriage. After his parents immigrated, the two sides completely severed their relationship. Zheng Xiuheng had never seen them, and he did not see them at his parents' funeral, so there was no difference between having them and not having them, and he could not even tell whether they were dead or not.
But family is always an indispensable part of a person's life, but living together does not mean they are a family. Even though Zheng Xiuheng lives with his sister, he has never really thought about the concept of home. For him, he can only settle down after leaving this country.
But maybe he doesn't need this kind of thing, but today Zheng Xiuheng realized that the person he cares about most does.
"Do you want to bring your sister over to live with us?"
"Hmm? I want to, I want to, I want to. Brother, do you want to make peace with me?" Krystal turned her head quickly and asked excitedly. Looking at her brother who was so close to her, her heart started beating faster. If there was one thing Krystal was most worried about and wanted to do the most, it would be to restore the relationship between her and her brother. You know, they were the closest to each other back then. Even when she was a child, Krystal was always jealous. It wasn't that her brother didn't care about her, but that her sister treated him better than her sister.
Zheng Xiuheng also turned his head, then smiled gently and said, "I want to, too, but I can't do that right now. There's no other way. So, I need you, my little spy, to spend more time with your sister when you have time. At least, prepare some useful intelligence for your brother before he debuts!"
"Promise to complete the mission, my brother!"
"Boo!"
Zheng Xiujing became excited again and touched Zheng Xiuheng's mouth with her little mouth. Zheng Xiuheng didn't care much, but smiled and touched the girl with his forehead. However, he was laughing in his heart, thinking, this little fool, no matter how smart she is, she is no match for her brother.
Zheng Xiuheng did this not because he really wanted any information, but because he could imagine how lonely Xiuyan must be now. Zheng Xiuheng did not want the two sisters' future lifestyle to become sisters in name only without deep feelings because of time.
Krystal Jung didn't know what her brother was thinking, but she was very excited, and her previous sadness had completely dissipated. In fact, what she feared the most was that her brother really no longer cared about her. In that case, according to her sister's temper, the two of them might never return to the way they were before, but now it seems that there is still a chance.
The brother and sister looked very sweet while taking a walk, and they were wearing couple outfits. Judging from their image and looks, there should be no problem for them to take a pictorial at this moment.
Lee Hyori, who was following a little behind the two of them, was also moving forward step by step, but at this moment she truly realized that she had never really entered their world.
Lee Hyo-ri suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Han Ga-in after dinner the night before...
In fact, she herself found it unbelievable. Lee Hyori never thought that she would take the initiative to chat with a woman who was suspected to be her love rival, and she would do it on her own initiative.
Han Ga-in was also very surprised at the time, and then... then... the two of them didn't have anything to say.
But in the end, Lee Hyori really asked Han Ga-in a question very seriously.
"Do you really love that guy? Are you willing to give up your current career to help him?"
This is what Lee Hyori is most curious about Han Ga In during this period. In Lee Hyori's eyes, Han Ga In is indeed a very gentle woman, but she does not like this kind of woman who has no temper at all.
But Han Ga-in's answer made her feel even more complicated.
"In order to make the person I love fall in love with me, all I can do is to completely give up myself. If I can do many things that are not like myself for him, I think that is love. I am sure... I love him!"
Lee Hyori came back to her senses, and all she could think of was Han Ga In's sincere face and the bright, loving look in her eyes.
Looking at the brother and sister in front of her, Lee Hyori grumbled with some melancholy for the first time, like a little woman. This time...
“Is he really outdone?”
Lee Hyori suddenly stopped, took out her phone, selected Park Kyung-lin's number, and called.
Park Kyung-rim is only a few months older than Lee Hyo-ri, and is one of the artists who has a good relationship with Lee Hyo-ri in the same year. However, this "square princess" does not have a pretty face, a slim figure, or a pleasant voice. She is also called the "square princess" because of her standard square face.
But despite not having these, Park Kyung-lin is a famous radio DJ, TV host and writer in South Korea. She is considered the most thoughtful one among Lee Hyori's female friends. Although she may not be the closest, Lee Hyori trusts her more.
"Ah, Hyori, I was just about to call you!"
"ah?"
Lee Hyori was slightly startled, her expression was very surprised: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Of course, I'm getting married next month, and I wanted to send you an invitation!"
"Ah, you're getting married? So soon?"
"Is this fast? I'm already thirty years old. Let's not talk about how many thirty years old there are in a lifetime, but I'm Park Kyung-rim, not a goddess like you. Now that I've met a good man, of course I have to grab him!"
Lee Hyori looked a little surprised, but soon she smiled and congratulated him, "Oh, that's great for you, you're getting married soon. I'll definitely go there. I'm also curious about what your husband looks like!"
"Haha, I'm satisfied anyway. By the way, you called me, so there must be something wrong. I heard that you've been doing well recently. A few months ago, you had a big fight with your cousin. Just tell me secretly, is it really your cousin?"
"I'm not calling you to gossip. I have something to ask you, seriously, seriously!"
"Ah, then go ahead and ask. I'm actually quite nervous when you put it that way!"
Lee Hyo-ri took a deep breath, looked at the two figures that were already somewhat far away, gritted her teeth and said, "Jinglin, you said that for... for, for, uncertain love, to change yourself... is it really worth it?"
Park Jinglin on the other end of the phone was surprised by this question. For a smart person, there is no need for too much explanation. Park Jinglin has already realized something.
"Hyo-ri, you...are you in love?"
"No!" Lee Hyori replied in a stinky tone. It would be fine if they were really in love, but that little bastard is just a playboy.
Park Kyung-lin on the other end of the phone fell silent. Lee Hyo-ri did not urge him, but just watched the two figures walking farther and farther away.
After a long while, Park Kyung-rim finally spoke: "If you give up now because of hesitation and worry, there will be no hope for the next chance. If you like him, now is the time, move forward bravely before it's too late, because you don't know what will happen next, and the next chance may never come. Although I don't know what kind of man Hyo-ri likes, if you really like him, you have to grab him. But what makes you so confused, could it be that he likes a younger man?"
“Ahem!”
Lee Hyori was startled. She was just feeling Park Kyung-lin's words, but suddenly she heard the words "younger man" and almost screamed out. Is this guy a witch?
"What are you talking about? You're thinking too much!"
"Tsk tsk, from your tone, it seems like I guessed right. Let me think, could it be your cousin? We've known each other for such a long time, but I've never heard of you having any cousin!"
“Hang up!”
“Beep, beep, beep!”
On the other end of the phone, Park Kyung-lin, who was taking wedding photos in a bridal shop, put down her phone and looked very gossipy. She was basically sure of the situation, but since Lee Hyori asked her, it proved that she was distressed and confused.
Although it was unexpected, Park Kyung-lin knew Lee Hyori's character very well. According to her understanding of Lee Hyori, she would never feel this kind of distress if she didn't really like someone.
However, with Lee Hyori's personality, it is difficult for her to completely change herself for love. Unless she is truly in love or has completely lost interest in her current life, she will not be able to change for someone.
Although matters of the heart do not allow other people to have much say except the parties involved, since Lee Hyori asked, Park Kyung-lin seriously considered Lee Hyori's character before giving an answer.
As for whether it would be useful to Lee Hyori, she didn't know, but she was sure that this guy was serious.
Anyway, from a personal point of view, Park Jinglin feels that missing out is more regrettable than silence.
