It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 165 Normal and Abnormal
"Congratulations, you've signed a contract with Universal Records, and you're going to America soon, right?"

Xu Lai received congratulations from many people, whether he knew Xu Lai or not, his contact information was not given to many people, but looking at those congratulatory text messages that came out of nowhere, he suddenly felt a little confused, Especially when someone signed their own name at the end of the text message, as if wishing Xu would remember him.

He suddenly thought of a sentence.

At the beginning, not many people smiled at me, but I had a few true friends. Later, many people smiled at me, but I still only had a few true friends.

Seeing these unfamiliar names who had never met face to face, and who were even completely confused, called him "brother" and "brother" in the text messages, calling him intimate names that can only be called by those who are close to him, Xu Lai only felt a bit of oozing. people.

So, after receiving so many blessing messages, it was hard for Xu Lai to be happy.

It was weird at first, but then he was completely numb, and his expression became more vivid when he received messages from his sister and friends, especially Jiang Jae-hyuk, who was studying hard in his third year of high school, and secretly sent Xu Lai a message with his mobile phone Congratulation text, Xu Lai teased him backhandedly, "Is Seoul University simple?", and Jiang Jae-hyuk ignored him.

Afterwards, it was the blessing text message that Lin Yun'er sent him, which was the very first line, that lifted his spirits.

"Thank you senior [smiling] Seeing senior say that, the whole person suddenly has strength."

Xu Lai replied to Lin Yuner.

"Yeah! It's a good thing that you signed a contract with a big company! Where did you lose it? It should be someone else who is disappointed, right? [Rolling eyes]"

Lin Yuner seemed to see that Xu Lai's tone was a bit outrageous, so she couldn't help but reply like this.

"Of course it's fun to sign with a big company, but...it's something else."

"Huh? Did something make you unhappy? Can you tell me to make me happy, senior?"

"..."

"You're not funny. Then tell me, what happened to make you so discouraged?"

"Just...after it was announced today that I signed a contract with Universal Music, many, many people I don't know sent me congratulatory text messages. I don't even know where they got my contact information...It feels very strange do you know?"

"and then?"

"The person who obviously has no connection and can't remember the name is very close to you, like an old friend who has known you for a long time..."

"So you think this is bad, right?"

"Feeling a little sick."

"It's okay to be disgusting. This is a normal thing, junior! When you are popular, everyone will rub you and support you. When you are not popular, everyone may want to step on you, just like you are popular You are inexplicably approached by people when you are young, and you are stepped on by others inexplicably when you are not popular. You can't even extract this person's information from your memory, but it just happens. So, this is really very strange. It’s a normal thing.”

Lin Yuner sent a long message to Xu Lai.

Xu Lai paused for a while, and he realized that this seemed to be an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, but...

"I'm not used to this. I don't want to reply to them in a hypocritical manner, and I don't want to."

"Then don't reply to them."

"Wouldn't it be nice to do that?"

"No, just pretend that you have never received these messages, and it is not a particularly important person. If you think about it carefully, the person who sent you a congratulatory text message just to let you remember his name, these people What's so important about people?"

"yes……"

"Don't think about those unhappy things. Think about other things. For example, if you sign a contract with a big company, your development will be better in the future. You should be happy! Wasn't your previous wish to make money and buy a house? After signing a contract with a big company Finally, your dream journey will take a big step forward.”

"Emmm... let me tell you something secretly."

"what's up?"

"The money I saved has already been used to buy a house."

"[Question] so fast? What the hell did you do? Did you sell yourself to someone?"

"It's just the advance payment from signing with Universal Music. It all went into my pocket. Plus I saved some before, so I feel it should be enough to buy a house."

"I think this is what you should really congratulate. Your first wish has come true. So, have you thought about what your next wish will be?"

"The next wish may be to achieve a certain achievement? For example, to win an award or something. I haven't won any awards since I was a child."

"It feels like it might not be difficult for you."

Lin Yuner seemed to have great confidence in Xu Lai.

"Thank you senior for your flattery."

"It's the truth."

"Then I believe it."

Xu Lai smiled in front of the bright screen.

"Speaking of which, seniors, you also signed a contract with Universal Music before, right? Do you have any special experience?"

"Ah... I really don't have any special experience. We went to the headquarters of Universal Music in California together, but when we entered the headquarters, we were introduced to a circle of development history. Now that I think about it, I feel puzzled. I thought we could We met the big-name celebrity seniors in the same company, but only one staff member took us around the company.”

"It doesn't sound like much fun."

"It's really not interesting, maybe our luck is not very good. If you go there and meet those big stars, you can take a photo and send it to me, or ask for an autograph for me."

"Oh, the big stars I'm talking about are singers like Rihanna, Bieber, and Eminem. It would be even better if I could get Bieber's autographed photo."

"? Why Bieber's?"

"Because he's handsome."

"In that case, I'll also send you some of my signed photos. I'm handsome too!"

"It's not impossible, it just so happens that I don't know what gift to give to my new friends."

"senior……"

"Hehe~ [bad smile]"

"Do you really want Bieber's autograph?"

"It would be nice to have one, my niece is crazy about him."

Lin Yuner has become a little more serious now.

"how about you?"

"He's too young."

Xu Lai was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, he was also from [-].

"Senior, do you prefer older people?" Xu Lai asked reluctantly.

"According to my normal aesthetics, it should be like that."

"But recently, many people around me are saying that I have become abnormal..."

"[smirk]"

"Senior, did you do it on purpose?" Xu Lai breathed a sigh of relief, his heart almost blocked.

"you guess?"

……

"You can send me two more copies of your autographed photo! If you want to send it."

"Do you need any new friends?"

"I want to keep two."
