Chapter 242 Birthday
The breeze sets off the sunset glow, and the setting sun is bathed in the afterglow.

The setting sun gathered auspicious clouds and looked down at the earth affectionately.

Auspicious clouds are hovering in the sky, and the evening breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance.

“The sunset is so beautiful.”

Li Shangshun took a sip of tea and sighed as he looked at the beautiful scenery.

Then, he turned to ask Li Zhien and Jin Qixuan:

"Children living in the city, you rarely take the time to appreciate the beauty of nature, right?"

"I also saw beautiful scenery when I was filming, but I just didn't have the heart to appreciate it."

"Yes, nowadays everyone is busy trying to survive, very few people have the time to stop and enjoy the sunset." Lee Sang-soon turned around and asked, "When did Ji-eun start to come out and participate in activities?"

Li Zhien replied: "16 years old."

"16 years old?" Lee Sang-soon looked at Lee Ji-eun in surprise, then asked Lee Hyo-ri, "If you are 16 years old... you are in high school, right?"

Li Zhien smiled and replied: "Third grade of junior high school."

Her smile was complicated.

There is pride, there is a carefree attitude, there is sadness, and there is also some loneliness.

As the saying goes, there is gain and loss, I guess this is the case.

"That's quite early. I didn't start my activities until I was 20 years old and became an adult." Lee Hyori sighed and asked Kim Ki-hyun, "Where's Ki-hyun?"

"I didn't start to act until I graduated from university in 15."

"15 years?" Lee Hyori counted on her fingers and asked in surprise, "You've only debuted for two years?"

"Yes."

"That's really amazing. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

"I didn't suffer much." Jin Qixuan smiled shyly: "I just followed the elders to make a living."

"You..." Lee Hyori shook her head and laughed, "Jong Kook Oppa has raised a good nephew. If I were like you and became so popular just two years after debuting, I would have been so proud that my tail would be up in the sky, and I would have to look at everyone with my nose up."

Seeing this, Lee Sang-soon showed his signature killer smile and teased Lee Hyori, "Then you'd better never catch a cold."

“Pfft…hahaha~”

Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun, who were just trying to get along, clapped and laughed.

……

The sun sets and night falls.

Good times are always so short.

With the return of the two explorers, afternoon tea time officially came to an end.

The noodles for preparing meals in the kitchen have already risen.

Lee Hyori took Lee Ji-eun to the kitchen to cook.

Jin Qixuan followed Li Shangshun to light the fire.

It is convenient for the four girls to grill the meat directly when they come back.

While Jin Qixuan and Li Shangshun were making a fire, the two explorers had already set up their tent on the grass.

Seeing Jin Qixuan's interest, the explorer invited Jin Qixuan to visit.

“You’ve never lived in a tent?”

"I stayed there once before when I was recording a show in Africa. It wasn't very comfortable."

The explorer laughed: "It's definitely not comparable to home. For us, being able to sleep is enough."

……

Chatted with the explorer for a while.

Over there, Li Shangshun had already lit the bonfire.

Then he invited Jin Qixuan into the house.

The two came to the kitchen.

Lee Hyori is cutting noodles and Lee Ji-eun is standing in the corner.

Follow Li Shangshun into the kitchen to help.

Jin Qixuan joined Li Zhien's punishment team.

The two of them watched the couple busying themselves with their work.

"Is the fire rising? By the way, Qixuan, what do you want to eat?"

After asking Lee Sang-soon, Lee Hyori turned to ask Kim Ki-hyeon.

"Oh...yeah, I'll do it myself."

With that said, Jin Qixuan left the punishment team and went to the refrigerator to prepare dinner for himself.

After a while, Lee Hyori's phone rang.

The four Jinhai sisters are back.

Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun finally found something to do.

He quickly ran over and pressed the door open button, then ran out to greet them.

After a while, the four sisters who had parked the car saw Lee Ji-eun waiting at the door to greet them, and were stunned for a moment.

“IU???”

"where?"

The three girls looked in the direction the sister in the driver's seat was pointing and instantly made dolphin sounds.

"Ah!!! Daebak is really IU!"

The four girls got out of the car, unable to hide the joy on their faces, and greeted Lee Ji-eun in dolphin voice.

Hearing the screams coming from outside the house, Lee Hyori, who was cooking noodles, curled her lips and said, "It seems that the children are very excited."

"Maybe... they can be even more excited."

After saying that, Jin Qixuan wiped his hands, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and walked out the door.

At this moment, the girls who were chattering around Lee Ji-eun suddenly noticed Kim Ki-hyeon standing at the door and waving at them with a smile.

In an instant, the dolphin sound sounded again.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"OMG! Am I dreaming?"

"Oh my god, Jin Qixuan!"

"Hurry, hurry, I want to buy a lottery ticket! I will definitely win the jackpot today!!!"

Same-sex repel, opposite-sex attract.

This principle applies to most people.

The four girls decisively abandoned Lee Ji-eun.

Everyone was talking and chattering around Jin Qixuan.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan raised his eyebrows at Li Zhien proudly.

"Hmph." Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes at Kim Ki-hyeon, leaving him with a cute back of her head.

Jin Qixuan took a few photos with the girls and chatted happily with them.

Over there, Li Shang told them that they could start barbecuing.

Seeing this, the four girls invited Jin Qixuan: "Come together, we can't eat that much~"

Jin Qixuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm really not being polite, I'm trying to lose weight recently and can't eat these."

The four girls sighed with regret, did not insist, and started to work on dinner separately.

In comparison, the glutton in my stomach seems to be more important than my idol...

At this moment, Lee Hyori had already cooked the seafood noodles and asked Lee Ji-eun to invite the men who were hanging out outside to come back for dinner.

“It smells delicious.”

Jin Qixuan looked at the hand-cut seafood noodles in the three people's bowls with some envy.

"It's very fresh. There's still some in the pot. Go get it yourself."

Jin Qixuan hesitated for a while, raised a finger towards Lee Hyo-ri and said, "Forget about eating. I have a limit on my carbohydrate intake. But...it's okay to drink soup. Can you give me some soup?"

Jin Qixuan's pitiful look amused Li Shangshun and his wife: "Ah, it's as if we are abusing you."

"It contains Qingyang peppers, it's a bit spicy, you can't drink it."

Lee Ji-eun's words put an end to Kim Ki-hyeon's craving.

"Oh……"

Jin Qixuan sighed regretfully and lowered his head to chew on the organic green leafy vegetables.

Seeing this, Lee Hyo-ri hesitated for a while, but still asked the question in her heart: "You two... know each other, right?"

Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien looked at each other and nodded.

"I played IU's manager in my debut work, and then we met."

"Oh..." Lee Hyo-ri nodded in understanding, then looked at the two suspiciously and asked, "Is it just acquaintance?"

Jin Qixuan turned to look at Li Zhien and said hesitantly: "We are close friends...right?"

Li Zhien nodded and responded to Jin Qixuan's words: "Yes, we are very good friends."

Seeing this, Lee Hyori had an expression that said, "I told you they knew each other! Oppa, you still don't believe me."

"Yes, yes, you are awesome. You are awesome."

Li Shangshun was concentrating on eating at this time and his answer was very perfunctory.

Seeing this, Lee Hyori made a "tsk" sound and started to eat.

In a blink of an eye, the couple finished the noodles in the bowl and leaned back in their chairs watching Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun eat.

Lee Ji-eun eats slowly because it is a habit she has developed over a long period of time to control her appetite and maintain her figure.

The reason why Jin Qixuan ate slowly was simply because these things were really hard to swallow.

But in order to maintain the necessary energy for the body, we still have to eat.

When the two looked at each other, they felt a little awkward for a moment.

Seeing this, Lee Hyori called Lee Sang-soon out to see the guests, and told them to just eat slowly.

As the two left.

IU looked visibly relaxed.

"I was worried about having to face all kinds of strangers in the future. But, luckily you are here~"

As she spoke, Li Zhien playfully touched the tip of Jin Qixuan's shoe with her shoe. "I'm always here."

The two smiled at each other, and felt happy just looking at each other.

Pink bubbles gradually appeared in the air.

But what ruined the atmosphere was a fat cat that looked like it was pregnant.

With the atmosphere ruined by this, the two of them returned to normal.

After all, no matter how happy you are, you have to eat first.

After a while, they finished eating.

However, there was a disagreement on the issue of washing dishes.

Jin Qixuan felt that his mother-in-law would definitely watch this show after it was broadcast.

After all, she had boasted how much she doted on her precious daughter.

As a result, when people watched TV, they found that what Jin Qixuan said and what he did were two different things.

How can I still leave my daughter to him with confidence?

And IU thinks washing dishes is the only job she can do well here.

If Jin Qixuan also took over this job, he would definitely be laughed at for being clumsy after the show aired...

Therefore, the two of them were deadlocked for a long time over the issue of washing the dishes.

In the end, Jin Qixuan was forced to surrender under the power of U-style boxing and gave up his right to wash dishes.

Lee Ji-eun happily started washing the dishes.

However, when Jin Qixuan saw her washing the dishes with the water running high, his blood pressure instantly soared, and he frowned and said:

"When you wash the dishes, can you please let the water flow less? It makes me sad to see you."

"Ah?" Li Zhien turned around and looked at Jin Qixuan in confusion, and asked, "Isn't this how you wash dishes?"

"If you wash dishes like this in my house, you will never be able to wash dishes again in your life."

"Then...how do I brush it?"

"First, turn the water flow to the minimum, use a basin to catch the water, and scrub in the basin. After scrubbing, don't pour out the water, save it for flushing the toilet."

Li Zhien: "..."

Lee Ji-eun tried it for a while according to Kim Ki-hyeon's instructions.

Then he puffed his lips and turned the water flow to the maximum in annoyance.

"you……"

"I'll pay for the water! Leave me alone and get out!"

Loser...

After complaining in his heart, Jin Qixuan left in dismay.

night sky.

The stars are twinkling around the bright moon.

under the night sky.

The sounds of insects, the evening breeze, the crackling of firewood, the sizzling of barbecue and people's laughter come together to form a beautiful symphony.

Seeing Jin Qixuan coming out, everyone asked him to sit down.

The girls also enthusiastically invited Jin Qixuan to drink.

Jin Qixuan refused to drink.

But he can still join in the conversation.

However, we only chatted for a while.

There was a crisp crackling sound coming from the house.

Jin Qixuan hurried back into the house.

I saw Lee Ji-eun kneeling on the ground cleaning up the broken pieces of food.

Jin Qixuan asked worriedly, "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. My hand just slipped and I couldn't hold it."

Seeing Jin Qixuan coming over, Li Zhien hurriedly stopped him: "Don't come over, be careful not to prick your feet!"

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan shrugged and said:

"You'd better stop washing dishes and just be the mascot of the B&B."

"People make mistakes, horses stumble, it only happens once, it's nothing."

"You're full of jingles. Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Lee Ji-eun ignored Kim Ki-hyeon and carefully cleaned up the broken pieces of the plate.

After a while, after packing up, Lee Ji-eun followed Kim Ki-hyeon out to chat with everyone in front of the campfire.

"What just happened?"

Seeing the two people coming, Lee Hyori asked.

"I accidentally broke the plate."

Li Zhien smiled embarrassedly.

Lee Hyori joked, "It's okay, I'll deduct the money for the dishes from your salary."

"Haha, okay~"

……

The bonfire dinner ended with laughter and joy.

Everyone worked together to clean up the messy table.

Afterwards, Lee Ji-eun took the lead in occupying the sink and asked Kim Ki-hyeon to pass her the bowl.

After a busy period.

Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon held a party for the two employees.

"We're done with work today. Tomorrow... it's half past eight?" Lee Hyori looked at Lee Sang-soon and asked.

Li Shangshun recalled for a moment and said, "Eight o'clock, the four girls have to leave early tomorrow."

"Okay, then you can just be here at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Lee Hyo-ri waved her hand and said, "Get off work."

"Wow~" Lee Ji-eun clapped happily.

Afterwards, Li Shangshun walked the two to the main gate and said, "The dormitory is just around the corner. See you tomorrow."

"Okay, you should go to bed early and see you tomorrow."

The two bowed together, carrying their suitcases, and set off back to the dormitory together.

The moon is at its zenith, bright and gentle.

The soft moonlight adds a quiet and peaceful atmosphere to the night.

There was absolute silence all around, not even the slightest breeze blowing through the leaves.

Under the light of the roadside and the moonlight, Lee Ji-eun was jumping on Kim Ki-hyeon's shadow.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan pulled her to his side and said, "How childish."

Li Zhien raised her chin proudly: "Huh~"

As they walked, Lee Ji-eun suddenly noticed that Kim Ki-hyeon's pace had slowed down.

Turn around and look.

He was walking on his own shadow.

"Okay you!"

"Hahaha……"

It was supposed to be a one-minute journey, but the two of them spent fifteen minutes playing and joking before returning to the dormitory.

The dormitory is a two-story building.

Lee Ji-eun lives upstairs and Kim Ki-hyeon lives downstairs.

Put your luggage away.

Jin Qixuan changed his clothes, put on Bluetooth headphones, and went for a night run while listening to class.

Half past eleven at night.

After the night run, Jin Qixuan took a shower.

Then she changed into a very abstinent outfit, sprayed some perfume, and put her treasure in her pocket.

Holding a birthday cake and a painting, he went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Li Zhien, who was lying on the bed reading a book, heard a knock on the door. After hesitating for a moment, she got up and opened the door.

"Happy birthday~ I think this year I should be the first one to celebrate your birthday?"

"Hmm~"

The corners of Li Zhien's eyes gradually rose, as if there were stars twinkling in her eyes, revealing a brilliant smile.

"I have prepared a gift for you. Let me in first."

Having said that, Jin Qixuan squeezed into the house and turned off the camera.

Then he spread out the painting and handed it to Lee Ji-eun.

Li Zhien, who was a little nervous at first, was instantly attracted and couldn't take her eyes away after seeing the painting.

This painting was painted by Jin Qixuan when he asked a street painter to paint it in Italy.

The content of the picture is a picture of Lee Ji-eun in the drama "Producer", with a ponytail, looking up with a smile, and looking at the starry night sky.

The ink painting is not a one-to-one reproduction, but anyone can tell at a glance that this person is Lee Ji-eun.

On the right side of the painting, there are Jin Qixuan’s handwritten lyrics.

Originally, Jin Qixuan wanted to write: "I like the spring breeze, summer watermelon, autumn juice, winter snow, and you in every season."

But then I thought, this kind of lowers my status as a graduate student.

Then, I chose a love poem - "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".

"There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her after seeing her."

"When I miss you for a day, I miss you like crazy."

Never mind whether Sima Xiangru was really that infatuated.

But Jin Qixuan's feelings for Li Zhien are indeed so strong.
