It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 263 Making a Wish (Two in One)

"What did you do today? You should have done a lot of things on your birthday, right?"

"I didn't do anything, just got together with my friends to have a meal, and then unwrapped the presents. Besides these, is there anything else I can do? There is too little time for traveling, and a It’s not interesting to go out alone. Before I fell in love with you, I might still think that it’s okay to travel alone, but now we’re in love, and our personal space is so spacious. If I still travel alone... ...how pathetic."

Xu Lai smiled when he heard this, and he was a little happy listening to Lin Yuner's words, "Actually, I thought you would hang out with your friends."

"Forget it, if I hang out with them, I will definitely not receive your call."

"It doesn't matter if you can't receive it..."

"I'm the one who suffers when I can't answer your call! My boyfriend didn't say a word on my birthday. Do you think I can still have fun like this?" Lin Yoona couldn't help but roll her eyes, and the two of them were separated by a long distance. It's so far away, and the video hasn't even been turned on yet, how can we see her expression?

Yes, video.

Lin Yuner suddenly thought of asking for a video, and immediately said to Xu in the video, "Let's start the video!"

"it is good."

Xu Lai agreed, and after Lin Yuner hung up the phone, he sent her a video call.

"Did you just wake up?" Lin Yuner looked at Xu Lai's face very close to the camera and the corner of the quilt pillow on the phone screen, she immediately realized that Xu Lai was still on the bed.

"I haven't gotten up yet, I can take a rest this morning." Xu Lai smiled, and then looked at Lin Yuner in the video. She had finished washing, changed into warm-colored pajamas, and sat on the bed. The video was viewed from low to high. , you can see half of Lin Yoona's body, it seems that the phone is fixed, "It's about ten o'clock in the evening in Seoul, right? You rested very early today."

"You also woke up quite late." Lin Yuner tilted her head.

Xu Lai looked at Lin Yun'er in the video and smiled slightly.

"Are you busy these days? It feels like you haven't slept well. It's almost noon on your side..." Lin Yuner looked at the slightly obvious bags under Xu Lai's eyes, and began to care about Xu Lai. Work, after all, Xu Lai is not a very tired person. Even if he stays up late, busy, and tired, it is difficult for him to have dark circles and bags under the eyes. Today, he looks tired. She probably has been very tired these days. Bar?
"Yes, very busy." Xu Lai sighed when he talked about his work. The main reason is that he is too popular now and the topic is very high. The reality shows that invite him are one after another, and there are several radio stations. He chose to participate, but the time was still tight.

"Didn't I film the MV for "Sugar" during this period? After it was released, the response was huge and the popularity was high. Because of the high popularity, I was very busy. I participated in several programs such as reality shows or talk shows. , and now there are still many invitations from radio stations..."

"Isn't that great? Inviting you to prove that you are very popular now! And let alone in the United States, I can feel your popularity across the Pacific Ocean here in Seoul, okay?"

"Is that so? I don't seem to be that popular in South Korea?" Xu Lai laughed.

"What are you exaggerating? You are the pride of South Korea's K-pop right now. The music industry is just holding you up and kneeling to watch you, and most of the netizens are now turning to you. If someone says you are not , but will be hung up on the Internet and ridiculed."

"Ah... this is unnecessary..." Xu Lai hadn't paid attention to this before, and after hearing Lin Yuner's words, he was a little speechless.

"But many people are like this, you don't need to worry about it, they are all pissed. It's like this. They don't have any loyalty. When you don't become popular one day, they may mock you again. It's them."

"You're so realistic."

"But it's true."

"Well, indeed." Xu Lai nodded, frowning and touched his brow.

"Have you not washed yet?" Lin Yuner suddenly leaned closer to the phone to look at Xu Lai's face carefully. Because the phone has a filter, she couldn't see if there was anything dirty on Xu Lai's face now, but this person still Lying on the bed, I guess I don't have time to get up to wash up.

"I'm still lying in bed..."

"Oh."

"Did you have birthday cake today?"

"There was a huge three-layer cake, and there were more than a dozen people celebrating, and many people didn't eat sweet things because they wanted to keep fit. I just tasted it, and they used the rest to 'fight the war' 'Yes." Thinking about the cake before, Lin Yuner couldn't help frowning, feeling a little pity.

In fact, it's better not to prepare any cake, or to prepare a very small one. Everyone wants to taste it, and they won't eat too much at all, but she didn't prepare this cake either.

"Is the taste ok?"

"The taste is very good."

"That's pretty good, I hope I can try it next time."

"Then shall I order one for you now?"

"Forget it." Xu Lai shook his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute."

After saying this, he stood up with his cell phone. The cell phone bumped and could only capture his chest. Lin Yoona heard the clattering sound, as if he was looking for something.

"found it."

"What are you looking for?" Lin Yuner asked.

"Cake and lighter. This is a snack cake brought back from the company a few days ago, and the other is the lighter brought back from "Longing for Life."

"You record a program and take a lighter as a souvenir?" Lin Yuner was amused by Xu Lai.

"Then I can't take away the corn I broke, can I?" Xu Lai asked back, "I thought about taking away the Shiba Inu from Mushroom House, but the director said that there might be a next one, so the puppy didn't." Let me take it away, it’s meaningless to take other things and take up space, so I just put a lighter in my bag.”

"Are you a fool? You don't smoke."

"I save this year to go home and set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year."

"Do you still want to set off firecrackers when you are so old?" Lin Yuner knew that firecrackers could be set off during the Chinese New Year, because South Korea also set off firecrackers, but most of them were for children to play with. Older children didn't play with them anymore. Like when she was filming "War God Zhao Zilong" last time, because the crew had the kind of throwing cannon that could explode when thrown on the ground, Lin Gengxin ridiculed her for playing with it.

"Occasionally, you still have to maintain a childlike innocence."

"That's right. Then remember to tell me when you set off the firecrackers, let me see."

"Aha?"

"I mean, you can occasionally be a child in front of me." Lin Yuner's eyes seemed to hide the brilliance of motherhood at this moment.

"No."

"What? I won't laugh at you."

"Anyway, it's... no." Xu Lai didn't say the reason, but just shook his head.

"But I think it's okay."

"Why do you say that?" Xu Lai returned to the room, sat on the chair without returning to the bed, held the phone in his hand, and looked at Lin Yun'er on the phone screen with serious eyes.

"Actually, I have always thought that you should have a childish side. I have seen it before, but I feel that you have matured a lot now. I don't know where the childish side is hidden, and it is rarely shown in front of me. "Lin Yuner thought that when Xu Lai was filming the show before, he was not naive anymore, but sometimes he looked like a fool, and it felt like he had grown up a lot.

He was obviously childish at times when he was in Los Angeles last time, but now it's been two months, and he seems to have matured a lot.

But Lin Yoona felt that Xu Lai must be hiding it, and wanted to urgently mature herself, be considerate of everything, and not be childish or naive.

"No, I'm over 21 this year."

"But you've only been working for less than a year..."

"One year... is already very long." Xu Lai said.

"Indeed...a year is a long time." Lin Yun'er was quite emotional when she heard Xu Lai say this.

Every day is the same, if nothing new happens, then this year is not too long, but Xu Lai's life trajectory has completely changed this year, and he has come into contact with another level of life. From this point of view, This year is indeed very long.

Moreover, so many things happened in this year, there were encounters and reunions, and I even found another person who fits well with me.

Of course it is good for a man to be more mature, but some people say that a man will be a boy until he dies. Xu Lai came here with a youthful atmosphere. If you say that he has grown up this year, he has definitely grown. After all, he has experienced so much. After seeing the bigger picture of the world, it is natural to make changes.

But Lin Yuner feels that people have two sides, one is an adult, and the other is a child. The "child" before Xu Lai was so lively, he would be sad, cry, and complain, but I don't know when it started, Xu Lai also I started to get used to reporting the good news and not the bad news, hiding all the fatigue and exhaustion I experienced.

This is very mature, right?

But Lin Yun'er felt that he seemed to have lost something, and she could still sometimes think of Xu Lai putting his head on her shoulder and hugging her, and then saying how tired he was.

"What are you thinking?" The two of them fell silent suddenly, Xu came to see Lin Yuner who had been watching him motionless, and couldn't help breaking the silence.

"Just think about if you are alone in the United States, if you encounter something that you can't solve, will you cry?"

"I'm not going to cry, okay?"

"Oh."

"I didn't cry during my debut. What is there for me to cry now? Someone supports me and likes me. I can do what I like to be good at, and I can earn a lot of money..."

"I know, I know! But if you want to cry, you can come to me." Lin Yuner smiled and teased Xu Lai with words.

If crying is a child's privilege, then I allow you to be a child in front of me.

Lin Yuner thought so.

"Don't talk about it, I'll sing you a birthday song!"

"What birthday song are you singing now? No cake candles."

"It's coming soon."

Xu Lai stood up with a mysterious look on his face and put his phone on the spot. He went to the window to close the curtains. Lin Yoona could clearly feel from the screen that Xu Lai's room suddenly became darker.

"It's not very dark yet, but I think it should be enough." Xu Lai returned to his seat, and while talking, he took out the snack cake and put it in front of the phone so that the phone could take a picture of the cake. The lighter is placed on the cake, just like a candle is lit on the cake.

"Okay now, let me sing you a birthday song first."

"happy..."

Just as Xu Lai sang, the flame on the lighter looked like it was about to go out at any time because of his erratic breath.

"I'd better finish singing first and then light candles for you! Anyway, it's for you to blow."

"Okay." Lin Yun'er's eyes were shining, and she was full of smiles. Although the cake was a bit crude and the candles were not lit, she looked at Xu Lai's dim face so close, and listened to his magnetic voice singing softly. Singing the birthday song, she felt that this was already very good.

He is very caring.

On the contrary, she didn't do this when Xu came to celebrate her birthday before. They didn't even call each other, they just sent each other messages because they were too busy...

Obviously she is older, she feels that she has done a little poorly in this regard.

Shouldn't it be a surprise for him?

"Now make a wish and blow out the candles!" After Xu Lai sang the birthday song, he lit the lighter again and reminded Lin Yuner to make a birthday wish, and he had to help Lin Yuner go through the birthday process through the screen .

"Okay." Lin Yun'er closed her eyes with a smile, and opened them again after a few seconds.

"Blow out the candles."

"Hu~~"

When Lin Yuner was blowing out the candles, Xu Lai would put out the lighter, the cooperation was tacit.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I wish for?"

"The wish you made will not work if you say it."

"If it doesn't work, it won't work."

"Then what's the use of making a wish?"

"Just... just think about it."

"Then keep it."

"Don't you even want to know?"

"think."

"Don't tell you."

"whispering sound……"

Xu Lai snorted and turned on the light in the room.

"You can't eat the cake, so I'll help you eat it! It's too far away to share."

"Eat it yourself!" Lin Yun'er said with a smile.

"That's what I meant." Xu Lai smiled, opened his big mouth and swallowed the snack cake in one bite.

"Eat something gentle."

"A little hungry."

"Didn't you have breakfast?"

"Just sleep until I call you..."

"Did Hill not call you?"

"He's doing his own thing."

"What an incompetent agent."

"Ha ha."

"You have to work hard when you're alone in Los Angeles!"

"I know, and so do you."

Both frying and boiling are ways to make it delicious, as is refueling.

He was always smiling, and when he was talking to Lin Yuner, he wasn't unhappy at all.

"My wish is that you will get better and better, and that you will still be you."

"The wish is mine..."

"My wish has been granted before."

"You are so greedy..."

"Anyway, if the wish really comes true, you will make money no matter what. The probability of two wishes coming true is higher than the probability of one wish coming true, right?"

"I'm afraid that's not the case."

"I don't care."
