Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 152 Giving Gifts

"Usually only my relatives and friends will call me by my first name. Does Park Jun want to be my "relative" or "friend"? "

The girl's red lips parted slightly and the words she spat out left Park Jingxu speechless.

His original intention was just a harmless little joke to lighten the atmosphere.

Why did it suddenly develop to the point of being boyfriend and girlfriend?

Just as Park Jingxu was carefully recalling whether his previous actions had caused the other party to misunderstand, Saka Minatozaki on the other side regretted her words as soon as they came out of her mouth.

Especially when he saw the stunned look on the boy's handsome face for a moment, the Osaka puppy felt even more annoyed about what he had done.

It seems that the idol is a little scared.

She anxiously wanted to explain, but Park Jingxu beat her to it.

"I'm sorry... It's a little difficult for me to become a "relative". It's okay to just be a friend.Speaking of which, I don’t have many acquaintances in Neon, so it would be nice to have another friend who is familiar with the local situation. "

Park Jingxu's answer was quite satisfactory, but it was a standard answer that would not cause any problems.

It's not that he covets beauty and can't wait to get closer to the beautiful girl.

It's just that Neon is not his permanent residence after all. If we don't meet often, the relationship will become dull.

So the risk of becoming friends is not that big, and the impact of whether you agree or not is within the tolerable range.

Of course, Park Jingxu must admit that the reason why he gave a positive answer was because the other party was a beautiful girl.

This doesn't mean that he has any undesirable thoughts about Minazaki Saka.

Looking at his circle of friends, women also make up the majority.

This can already reflect his social tendency - he prefers to communicate and play with the opposite sex than with the same sex.

And because most of the people in the social circle are people from the entertainment industry and have outstanding looks (whether they have technology or not), appearance has subconsciously become one of the evaluation criteria for teenagers.

To put it simply, Park Kyung Wook likes to be friends with beautiful women who suit his taste.

People who meet these characteristics will naturally be included in the dating investigation.

So Park Kyung-wook gave a standard Park Kyung-wook-style answer, but the other party did not respond according to his heart.

"Is it really possible!?"

Minazaki Saka's first reaction was surprise. She was unexpectedly accepted after talking nonsense by mistake. This was something that caught the girl off guard.

Unprepared, she subconsciously used the superfluous etiquette engraved in the bones of the Neon Man as a response.

I was a little nervous when I blurted it out. My idol wouldn't dislike me because of it and retract it immediately, right?
Fortunately, Park Kyung Wook was not someone who broke his promise easily. In response to the other party's unbelievable rhetorical question, Park Kyung Wook expressed his answer in the form of a smile and a nod.

"Of course. As long as people live in society, they cannot avoid communication. Instead of waiting for uncontrollable and unpleasant interpersonal relationships to come to your door, it is better to take the right of choice into your own hands. Sasha, you are my choice. Friends, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Park Jingxu thought that the other person asked this question because he felt that the identity gap between idols and fans was too big, and he felt unconfident.

So he spoke words of encouragement.

Although the intention was misunderstood, it served a similar purpose.

As a fan, Minazaki Saka occasionally feels that she is too far away from her idol.

Especially since the two of them are in different countries, and Park Kyung Wook is a promising supernova, it seems like he and she, an ordinary amateur, live in two different worlds.

But the more I get to know every detail of Park Jingxu, the desire to get closer to him becomes as uncontrollable as a virus that proliferates infinitely.

The increasingly aggravating thoughts can only be suppressed or even hidden because they do not meet the conditions for practice.

But it never disappeared, it just lurked in the most inconspicuous corner of my heart, waiting for an opportunity to escape from the predicament and soar into the sky.

Now that great opportunity appeared in front of Minazaki Saka. From the time she met him by chance on the subway to the gradual confirmation of her identity in the livehouse, this idea started to start.

When Park Jingxu helped them out in the livehouse, it happened that she was very confident about confirming the identity of the other party.

Maybe this thought is out of control.

Everything that happens next is just inevitable.

Thinking of this, Minazaki Saka's inner anxiety gradually disappeared and she regained her composure.

She said what she wanted to say quietly and from her heart.

"It's my dream to be friends with Park Jun. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"It's not something worth thanking. The start of a relationship requires the consent of two people. I just hope that we won't regret our choice."

Although Park Jingxu didn't really care much about becoming friends at first, as he received the emotions revealed in the other person's attitude, he gradually stopped being careless and indifferent.

Every word he spoke came from his heart, without any trace of falsehood.

This fan probably likes me very much.

Park Jingxu feels that every one of his loyal fans deserves to be treated sincerely.

Change your heart for your heart.

At this moment, the young man suddenly thought of something and took out his mobile phone.

"Now that we have become friends, it seems that we should follow the normal way of communicating with friends and exchange contact information."

"But since we are in different countries, wouldn't it be inconvenient to communicate on mobile phones?" Saka Minazaki raised a reasonable concern.

The cost of cross-border information exchange is not low. If the frequency is high, the cost will be high. Of course, Park Jingxu doesn't care. After all, he is a company owner, so he can afford this small amount of money.But the other party is still a student. Even if the family conditions are good, the pocket money can be used for other purposes and may not be enough.

However, if the frequency is too small, the meaning of exchanging numbers will be lost.

Not practical anyway.

In this regard, Park Jingxu smiled slightly, he did have a suitable solution.

"Sasha must have heard of instant messaging software, right?"

"Mr. Park is referring to the MSN type, right? But I don't use this..."

Saka Minatozaki also took advantage of the situation and took out her flip phone - these mobile phones with customized systems from manufacturers have very poor software support.

Compared with Park Jingxu's touch-screen mobile phone, it seems to be an era behind.

This suddenly made her think about changing her mobile phone.

Otherwise, we won’t be able to communicate happily in the future...

"Yes, but MSN is a desktop software after all, and has limited support for mobile phones. And its functions are relatively simple, which is not what I like."

Not only MSN but also SKYPE and China’s QQ Park Jingxu have used it.

But none could meet his requirements.

What's more important is that people around you don't have the habit of using these software. Social software is meaningless without social interaction.

However, recently, a software that meets his requirements has appeared on the peninsula.

"Perhaps you don't know, Sasha, that an interesting chat software called kakaotalk has recently been launched in the peninsula. Apart from other things, the most important thing is that it is free."

By chance, Park Jingxu discovered Kakaotalk. After downloading and experiencing it, he became interested.

Speaking of which, this is probably the first software developed for local people in the Peninsula. There are many details in it that are in line with the habits of the Peninsula people.

And it is specially designed for the mobile terminal, and all aspects are suitable for the usage habits and scenarios of mobile phones.

Referring to the development momentum of QQ next door, Park Jingxu also saw the broad prospects of this software.

He even had the idea of ​​investing, but he gave up the idea after he sent someone to investigate the background of the creative team.

The founder of Kakaotalk has a strong background.He founded Hangame, the largest game platform on the Peninsula, more than ten years ago, and later served as the CEO of NHN, the largest Internet group on the Peninsula. KaKao was a product launched after his resignation.

There is no shortage of people like this who have connections with capital, and people who send money can line up from Seoul to Busan.And it seems that SK's back was discovered during the investigation, which directly eliminated the idea of ​​​​Park Kyung-wook being involved.

Park Jingxu's small body, which is not strong, still doesn't want to join in the fun.

Apart from the scrutiny of capital, from a purely user perspective, Park Jingxu is also happy to recommend people around him to use this software.

But the prerequisite is to have a smartphone.

At present, the penetration rate of smartphones represented by Android and IOS in China is limited, and most of them are BlackBerry and Symbian.

There are even still a large number of non-smartphone users from Samsung and LG, who are currently unable to install Kakaotalk.

In the current situation, mobile phone companies led by Sharp in Neon are almost all clamshell households.

The number of smartphones is pitiful.

Unfortunately, the machine in the hands of Minatozaki Saka is also a member of the clamshell majority and does not have the ability to install Kakaotalk.

However, Saka Minatozaki, a novice who didn't study much about mobile phones, didn't realize this and still asked innocently.

"Pu Jun means, do we use this software to chat?"

"Yes, without the worries of money, we can speak freely."

Minazaki Saka seemed to be moved by the young man's words, and a look of eagerness appeared on her childish but already beautiful face.

"Then please teach me how to download it, Mr. Park!"

"This is not urgent. Before that, we have to go somewhere first."

The Shiba Inu girl cast a confused look, and Park Jingxu smiled without saying a word, showing no intention of explaining.Just take a step forward and signal the other person to follow.

After walking for a while, the three of them stood in front of the SOFTBANK store.

In Neon, mobile phone cards are generally not sold individually, but are sold in conjunction with mobile phone manufacturers and communication operators.

Neon's famous communication operators include NTT DOCOMO, KDDI au and SOFTBANK (the SoftBank that everyone thinks of).

The reason why Park Jingxu chose SOFTBANK is because it is the agent of a certain fruit, and currently the only place where he can buy a certain fruit mobile phone is.

"Why did Mr. Pu bring us here?" Minatozaki Saka was not an idiot, and she also realized the other party's intention.However, it is not easy to ask directly before confirming.

Park Jingxu didn't have so many worries. He told the other party's guess openly and did not forget to explain the reasons.

"When I got here, of course I wanted to change my phone. Because if you want to install KakaoTalk, it's not something you can't do with a smartphone."

"Is that so..."

Minazaki Saka stared at the iPhone in Park Jingxu's hand, thoughtfully.

Suddenly remembering something, the girl's expression suddenly became embarrassed, even mixed with a hint of embarrassment.

"But I was in a hurry this time and didn't bring my credit card with me. I'll buy it myself another day."

"No need to bother, I'll just pay for you."

Park Jingxu patted his chest generously.

This was also his original intention.

"But... I can't accept the gift from Mr. Pu with peace of mind."

Minazaki Saka shook her head and refused. The excellent education she received did not allow her to enjoy the kindness of others for no reason.

Park Jingxu knew that the other party's family was well off, so it was not because of money that he refused to agree.

Maybe it's the principle involved, but it's not that easy to convince.

Fortunately, Park Jingxu had already considered this, so he answered immediately as soon as he finished speaking.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. My willingness to pay is not because of arrogant thoughts such as being rich, but after careful consideration and thinking that it will not affect our relationship.

It is true that it is not normal etiquette to give a mobile phone soon after the first meeting, but special considerations should be taken in special circumstances.

After all, it was me who asked you to download Kakaotalk, and I should be responsible for solving any related problems and obstacles that may arise during the process.

In addition, it is very common for friends to send gifts to each other, and the price of a mobile phone is not expensive, so it will not deteriorate the relationship as a gift.

In the end, reciprocating gifts is also a good way to enhance relationships. After accepting my gift, Saxia, you can also return the gift. This should not violate your principles, right? "

What Park Jingxu said was reasonable and well-founded, but the Osaka puppy didn't know how to refute it.

It even makes sense.

In fact, I also tend to accept gifts from others.

It’s not that I want to take advantage, but I am more interested in the meaning behind this phone.

That is a gift given to yourself by your idol.

Friendship can be said to be priceless.

Park Jingxu saw that the expression on the girl's face was no longer the previous resistance, so he asked the clerk to pay by swiping his card.

He thrust the box into the Shiba Inu girl's hand and said with a smile.

"Go back online and you can find out how to download software from stores in other countries. The steps are a bit complicated, so I won't teach you now. As for my KAKAO number, I will send it to your phone via text message later, just remember to add it."

Minatozaki Sasha nodded numbly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although she has done some psychological construction, the concepts that have been shaped for more than ten years still affect her, and they cannot be reversed with just a few words.

It's like accepting a gift from someone you've just met and are unfamiliar with, especially if it comes from your idol.

As a result, the mood became a bit complicated, and even the expression did not know how to express it to be considered qualified.

It was a feeling of both joy and shame.

The girl remained silent, and the atmosphere seemed to be getting awkward.

What saved the two of them from the potential crisis of silence was a deafening sound that seemed to come from the abdomen.

In this small operation store, several people including the clerk heard it clearly.
