Chapter 14 Is she some kind of 3-year-old child?
The afterglow of the setting sun formed a striking orange sea of clouds on the horizon. After being indoors for a long time, I suddenly saw such a beautiful view and my steps unconsciously slowed down.
Jiang Youzhen turned to look at the beautiful sunset, feeling much more relaxed.
At the agreed time, he met up with Kim Tae-yeon at the entrance of the performance venue, accompanied by Kim Ji-yong.
Kim's parents weren't home, but from the way Jiang Youzhen looked at Kim Ji-yong, he knew that the kid was wary of him.
I don't know what there is to be wary of about Jin Zhiyong, and I'm not interested in him at all.
The three entered the audience area, and a staff member quickly approached them with a commercial smile, saying, "Hello, your seats have been arranged. And your friends, would you like to go now?"
"Okay, please lead the way, thank you." Kang Woo-jin nodded, his reaction indifferent. He glanced back at Kim Ji-yong and Kim Tae-yeon and casually explained, "I reserved seats in the first row in advance. If you don't mind the noise, you can sit there. There are also drinks and snacks."
Of course, all of this was arranged by Jiang Jingshu. There weren't many seats in the audience area at the performance, but the first two rows were basically reserved for social interactions.
This time, Kang Woo-jin got a good deal, but if you really asked him to appreciate that so-called Shinhwa group, he just couldn't understand it.
Especially when he saw these people, who were not even as tall as him and looked malnourished, he couldn't help but feel a little concerned.
SM Entertainment wouldn't even feed them, would they?
What puzzled Jiang Youzhen was that the two people next to him seemed to be watching with great interest.
Jin Zhiyong, still caught up in the excitement, finally realized that Jiang Youzhen seemed to be staring at him with a strange look of disdain. He paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you like watching Shinhwa?"
"...Sorry, I'm not used to watching these things, the stage of popular culture."
"His speech is so formal and literary; surely no one in our country doesn't watch these kinds of performances?"
Jin Zhiyong was stunned as soon as he said it. He remembered that Jiang Youzhen was a student who had studied abroad, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Jiang Youzhen was more like an idol than the members of Shinhwa on stage.
"I went abroad to study a long time ago, and I'm not really interested in these things." Kang Woo-jin wasn't particularly fond of these idol groups, and besides, they all looked malnourished, which only gave him one impression.
They need to eat more; no matter how perfect and handsome their makeup is, it can't hide their fatigue and haggardness.
Jin Zhiyong went silent. He felt that if he said a few more words, he would most likely be belittled by Jiang Youzhen as well, so it was better not to speak.
But the girl on the other side didn't have so many thoughts. She didn't hear the conversation between the two and was completely focused on the stage.
Like everyone else around her, she had a smile on her face and was enjoying her performance on stage.
Shinhwa's performance only consists of three songs, totaling no more than ten minutes. Including greetings and warm-up acts, it's at most fifteen minutes.
The performance that followed was also quite good, but Kang Woo-jin hadn't been interested in it for a long time. However, the Kim siblings enjoyed it very much and even took several photos.
After the performance, when they left the venue, it wasn't too late. Kang Woo-jin handed Kim Ji-yong drinks and snacks, and also got a signed photo of Shinhwa from the staff.
In that brief moment, Jin Zhiyong ran off to watch the parade.
Jiang Youzhen had asked for his phone number in advance, intending to contact him after the event, but for now, he should just let him have fun on his own.
Kim Tae-yeon felt a strange sensation as she watched her brother, who seemed to have lost his mind, being dismissed by Kang Woo-jin with just a few words.
"I feel like my brother is an idiot."
"Don't worry about feeling hungry. The float won't be here for a while."
"Wait, there aren't many people in line over there, let's go check that out."
Before Kang Woo-jin could see where Kim Tae-yeon was talking about, she grabbed his arm and pulled him forward for quite a distance before he could see where she was referring to.
He was momentarily stunned as he stared at the Ferris wheel, which resembled a giant disc.
This thing... looks a bit old-fashioned.
The long queue was mostly made up of young couples and parents with children; people like them were very rare.
Fortunately, the queue for the Ferris wheel wasn't very long, as many people went to watch the performances and parade, so they only had to wait in line for about ten minutes.
Following the staff's instructions, the two stood on the platform. Kang Woo-jin compared Kim Tae-yeon's leg length with the position of the cabin, thought for a moment, and when the cabin door opened, he reached out and picked up the girl and put her inside. Then he strode into the cabin himself.
Kim Tae-yeon originally wanted to go in by herself, but she was completely bewildered by Kang Woo-jin's actions.
Is she some kind of three-year-old child?
She is not tall, but it can't be that exaggerated!
"Anders, I can come in by myself."
"If you miss a step, it will hurt a lot when you fall."
Jiang Youzhen spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something perfectly normal. He nodded and thanked the staff member who closed the cabin door, then reminded her to look at the scenery outside.
The cabin ascended slowly. After looking around the Ferris wheel, Jiang Youzhen commented, "Just sitting on it for a spin attracts a lot of people."
Kim Tae-yeon quickly put the previous matter aside. She nodded and said, "Yeah, it's a Ferris wheel after all. Even though it's boring, a lot of people still come because Ferris wheels are a symbol of happiness."
"Happiness? Who would consider this kind of thing as happiness?" Jiang Youzhen really couldn't understand these things.
"Because it's said that Ferris wheels carry happiness, that's why so many people are willing to come. Especially since it's been said on TV that when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, couples who kiss will stay together forever."
...These are all such strange rumors.
Jiang Youzhen's expression grew increasingly strange. He couldn't help but retort, "But only those love-struck people would believe that. Even if someone told them they could be happy fishing in the river in the dead of winter, they'd still believe it."
Ultimately, it's all about those in power who, for the sake of some vague and unrealistic ideals, feel that everything they do is meaningful.
However, even if he did say it, the girl on the other end probably wouldn't understand, so he simply didn't mention it.
But Kim Tae-yeon knows much more than Kang Woo-jin, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
"Because sweet love can turn people into fools."
"ha...."
Since neither of them has much experience in relationships, any further discussion would be purely theoretical.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head and chuckled. Just as he was about to say something, he caught sight of a couple embracing and kissing in the cockpit in front of him.
He had seen it all before, so he wasn't bothered by it. But the girl opposite him had rarely seen anything like it, and she immediately widened her eyes, staring intently at them.
......
Jiang Youzhen didn't understand why she was so keen on gossip, especially watching other people kiss.
Out of a sense of propriety, he only glanced at it before looking away. After enjoying the view, the girl opposite him realized that their cockpit was also about to reach the top.
Then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, she smiled and said, "Since we rode the Ferris wheel, does that mean we'll stay together forever?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youzhen was momentarily stunned and couldn't immediately respond.
Suddenly, the sound of fireworks being lit rang out outside. As the light shot into the sky, the magnificent fireworks bloomed in the night sky and then disappeared into the night sky in an instant.
