Chapter 52 The Woman Ya Xian Couldn't Stand
In his previous life, how did Jung Do-hoon coax Minatozaki Sana?
They are all deeply in love, so even if there is a big conflict, they will get over it after a period of intimacy.
But this method is clearly not suitable for Ya Xian.
"What's there to worry about? No one in this world is truly alone." Zheng Daoxun gently put his arm around Ya Xian's shoulder. "When I was studying abroad alone, I also longed for someone to be by my side, just like you."
"Isn't this different?" Ya Xian sniffed, looking conflicted. "You just need someone to be with you, anyone will do."
That's absolutely right.
Zheng Daoxun sighed softly.
He tried to put himself in Ya-Hsien's shoes. She had come to Seoul alone to train and live when she was very young. Her parents were senior executives in an electronics company and were very busy with work, so they rarely had time to visit her in Seoul.
It can be said that Ya Xian's life from childhood to adulthood has been missing too many characters, including this "oppa," who only exists as a distant concept because he is studying abroad. So even on holidays, they can only chat for a few words through video calls with their parents.
Now that she is injured and most helpless, he, the only oppa she can rely on, naturally takes on all the missing roles in Ya Xian's life.
A friend who can stand by her through her darkest times, an older brother who can take care of her in life, a confidant who can comfort her and cheer her up...
When so many characters come together, it's no wonder that a sense of dependency arises.
"What's the difference? I spent two years alone in New York, and I didn't feel lonely then. But after returning to China and living in the same house as you, Ya Xian, I realized that having a younger sister waiting for me at home really makes a difference. You need me, just as I need you..."
Without you, I'd feel so empty inside. With you, at least I have someone to bicker with when I get home, right?
"It's different..." Ya-Hsien simply repeated.
Zheng Daoxun knew that he had exhausted all the words he could say. All he could do was stay by Ya Xian's side and wait for her emotions to calm down.
As for what exactly was different, he wasn't in the mood to figure it out, and Ya Xian probably couldn't tell either.
Around 8 p.m., the girl, who had been dozing off in Zheng Daoxun's arms, finally woke up from hunger. He reheated the dinner and simply made do with it.
The bath tub he had ordered online had arrived. Zheng Daoxun filled the tub with hot water, helped Ya Xian into the bathroom, and then took the electric mosquito swatter to her room to kill mosquitoes.
Strangely enough, his room was on the 10th floor, and he usually paid attention to hygiene, so even in the summer, it was difficult for mosquitoes to breed.
Indeed, he searched for a long time but couldn't find the mosquitoes. He lit an electric mosquito coil and walked out of Ya Xian's room with some doubts. He happened to meet Ya Xian, who had just finished showering and changed into her pajamas.
Perhaps because she hadn't had a proper shower in a long time, the girl's cheeks were flushed, and she tugged at the corner of her pajamas: "Do you want to take a shower?"
"I showered during the day." Jung Do-hoon shook his head. "I cleaned the room for you and didn't find any mosquitoes. If there are still mosquitoes..."
"We have different blood types, so mosquitoes only like to bite me." Ya Xian pursed her lips, her eyes darting towards the ceiling. "Come to my room for a while, you'll definitely run into them. Perfect timing... to watch some variety shows with me?"
"Okay." Zheng Daoxun didn't care whether the different blood types would actually attract more mosquitoes. He thought that Ya Xian might just want to find an excuse to spend more time with him.
Indeed, that was the case. Ya-Hsien hugged her tablet, rested her head on Jung Do-Hsun's shoulder, and watched the latest episode of the online variety show. Her originally gloomy mood finally improved.
As for whether it was because the variety show was very funny, or simply because Jung Do-hoon sat on the edge of the bed with her...
Jung Do-hoon glanced at the girl clutching the corner of his shirt, chuckling foolishly, and then chuckled along blankly.
This dating reality show is all formulaic and scripted. They can arrange a configuration of five men and four women, just to leave someone single. No matter how they are configured, there will always be at least one love triangle.
Only someone like Ya-Hsien, who has never been in a relationship, would smile foolishly at a dating reality show.
hum, hum, hum...
Only when his phone rang did Jung Do-hoon let out a long sigh of relief: "I'll go out and answer this call."
Bae Suzy thought the call would go unanswered again and was about to hang up when it was answered again.
"Suzy-ssi...why are you calling me at this time?"
Zheng Daoxun lowered his voice, seemingly not wanting others to hear.
"I should be asking you that! You didn't answer my calls before, you're such a busy person, what were you busy with?"
Soo-ji rolled over in bed, fiddling with the ends of her hair, and lowered her voice like Jung Do-hoon, somehow giving off a...
The thrill of sneaking around?
"I was with Ya-Hsien just now and didn't check my phone."
"How old are you two? Why are you still so close?" Bae Suzy thought back to her relationship with her unnie and younger brother, feeling puzzled and a little annoyed. "You only have so much time after get off work each day, and you spend it all on your sister?"
Honestly, all that excitement I'd worked so hard to build up was shattered by the truth.
"Let's get to the point," Zheng Daoxun asked hesitantly.
"My dad went back to his hometown. Before he left, he made me a big jar of kimchi. I definitely can't finish it all by myself... I was thinking, should I send you some?"
Zheng Daoxun was about to refuse when Ya Xian's voice came from behind him:
"Have her come."
"Ya-Xian, what's wrong with you..." Zheng Dao-Xun turned his head in surprise. He had even come to the living room to answer the phone.
Why did Ya-Hsien still follow me out?
He looked at Ya Xian, who was leaning against the wall, and felt a sense of foreboding.
He remembered that Ya Xian had never had a good impression of Bae Suzy, especially after she left a perfume scent on his wrist last time.
"Have her come here now."
Zheng Yaxian felt a surge of frustration. She had finally managed to have some time alone with Daoxun, so why did someone have to disturb them, especially so late at night?
Moreover, she heard everything Bae Suzy said.
Does she have any objections to her close relationship with Jung Do-hoon?
Did Huang Lizhi and the Fang sisters have any objections?
"Let's talk about it next time, anyway, kimchi can last a long time..." Jung Do-hoon said to Ya-hyun, and also to Bae Soo-ji on the other end of the phone.
If Bae Suzy comes over again, tonight will truly be "exciting".
Bae Suzy is such a smart person, she will definitely be able to understand what I mean.
But rather...
The woman on the other end of the phone hesitated slightly, then gave a soft "hmm" with a slightly raised tone.
"Okay, I'm coming over now."
