Chapter 3 That Man
In the cherry blossom season, the sky is as blue as the water, and the bright sunshine shines on the earth, making people feel incomparable tranquility and comfort.

Jin Qixuan stood on the street, looking up at the blue sky, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

However, perhaps because he had cried too much just now, Jin Qixuan felt a little thirsty at the moment.

He looked around, searching for a nearby convenience store.

Finally, not far away, he saw a familiar convenience store sign and walked over quickly.

After entering the store, Jin Qixuan picked up a bottle of water and walked to the cashier to pay.

He unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and took a sip. The cool liquid slid down his throat, instantly making him feel refreshed.

After finishing the water, Jin Qixuan seemed to feel more relaxed. He walked back outside the store, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the breath of spring.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice sounded in Jin Qixuan's ears:

"Hey handsome guy, can you help me buy a pack of cigarettes? Aixi brand."

Jin Qixuan turned around when he heard the voice, and his eyes fell on a white hand holding 10,000 Korean won.

He looked upwards along the hand, and what came into view was a standard oval face with a pair of dark almond-shaped eyes under the curved eyebrows, clear and bright.

However, her beauty seems to be sealed by a pair of black-framed glasses, adding a bit of bookish air.

Her hairstyle is simple and neat, with a high ponytail. She is wearing a student uniform, has a slim figure, and exudes a well-behaved temperament.

However, Jin Qixuan was a little surprised that such a good girl would actually make a slightly rebellious request to buy cigarettes from him.

Jin Qixuan looked at her, took the 10,000 Korean won she handed over, and walked into the convenience store.

Not long after, Jin Qixuan walked out of the convenience store carrying a black plastic bag.

He handed the plastic bag to the girl with no expression on his face, then turned and left without hesitation.

"Thank you~"

The girl took the plastic bag handed over by Jin Qixuan, raised her eyebrows slightly, and felt a little surprised.

She had thought he would just hand her the cigarette, but she hadn't expected him to consider other options so carefully.

However, the moment the girl opened the plastic bag, her expression froze instantly.

There were no Essie cigarettes that she wanted, but four cartons of milk with a small note on them that read "No smoking for minors".

The girl looked up at Jin Qixuan's gradually receding back, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end the words were stuck in her throat and turned into a soft sigh.

She lowered her head, looked at the milk and the note in her hands, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

In the afternoon, Jin Qixuan returned home, carrying with him his brand new graduation certificate and gym bag.

Following the navigation instructions, I arrived at National Central University, ready to attend two open classes.

In his previous life, he embarked on the road of acting with passion and persistence in his dreams, but he knew that he still had many shortcomings in acting.

But in this life, he has more resources and opportunities, so naturally he doesn't want to let them go easily.

In class, Jin Qixuan listened attentively to the teacher's explanation, and wrote down the key points from time to time.

After two classes, Jin Qixuan felt he benefited a lot.

Not only did he gain a deeper understanding of acting, he also learned many practical skills and methods.

After the class, Jin Qixuan decided to go to the university cafeteria to taste the food.

He walked into the cafeteria and looked around. He saw that the dishes were quite monotonous. Apart from pickled kimchi, radishes, bean sprouts and shredded kohlrabi, the only meat option was fried pork chops.

Although he was a little hesitant, Jin Qixuan decided to just have a simple meal.

Although the taste of the food was not satisfactory, Jin Qixuan unexpectedly discovered that many of his junior high school girls were secretly glancing at him.

This made him feel a little proud, thinking that his charm was still as strong as before.

However, until he finished his meal, no junior high school girl came up to him and started a conversation.

After leaving the campus, Jin Qixuan took the subway to the gym according to the address on his gym card to exercise.

In the gym, he devoted himself to fitness training, and every movement was performed standardly and powerfully.

After a sweaty training session, he felt that his body was fully exercised and his mood became particularly relaxed.

Jin Qixuan hurried back home, his mind full of review plans for what he had learned that day.

However, when he stood at the door of his house and looked at the combination lock on the door handle, he felt a headache.

"I give up! I have to guess how to get into the house!"

He stood at the door, his fingers on the combination lock for a long time, trying every possible combination, but the door was still tightly closed.

Jin Qixuan couldn't help scratching his head, trying to recall the correct combination of the password.

Just then, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Jin Qixuan was stunned and looked at the man in front of him in astonishment.

The burly and strong man in front of you is none other than the last famous triple crown winner in the South Korean music scene - Kim Jong Kook.

He is not only a legend in the music industry, but also one of the few South Korean artists that Jin Qixuan knew in his previous life.

Kim Jong Kook looked at Kim Ki Hyun's surprised expression, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly:
"What's that look in your eyes? Don't you recognize me?" Jin Qixuan smiled awkwardly and stammered:
"Uh...no..."

He tried to calm his shock.

Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook moved aside to let Kim Ki-hyun enter the house.

Jin Qixuan put down his gym bag and carefully followed his steps to the living room.

His heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, and he kept thinking about the relationship between himself and Kim Jong Kook.

Master and apprentice? Cousins? Or...illegitimate child?

These thoughts flashed through Jin Qixuan's mind, but were interrupted by the sound of Kim Jong Kook patting the sofa.

He immediately brought his thoughts back to reality and sat next to Kim Jong Kook.

Although he was full of curiosity, Kim Ki-hyeon tried his best to remain calm, secretly looking at Kim Jong-kook's strong arms and feeling his strong presence.

After Kim Jong Kook noticed that Kim Ki Hyun had sat down, he reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked softly:
"I heard from Professor Lin that he recommended you to audition at TVN. How did it go?"

Jin Qixuan was caught off guard by this sudden question and evaded the question by saying:

"Uh... that's good. They said the roles will be assigned next week."

Although Jin Qixuan tried his best to remain calm, his heart was filled with doubts and curiosity.

"Oh my god, our Qixuan is awesome."

Kim Jong Kook looked at Kim Ki-hyun with approval in his eyes and his tone filled with genuine joy.

Kim Ki-hyeon's big eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he came up with an idea and decided to test Kim Jong-kook's attitude.

"If the contract is signed next week, would you be able to go with me?"

He asked tentatively, his eyes fixed closely on Kim Jong Kook's reaction.

Kim Jong Kook was stunned for a moment when he heard this, obviously a little surprised.

He never thought that Jin Qixuan, his nephew who had always been independent and strong, would suddenly make such a request.

However, he quickly recovered from his surprise and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Oh?" He responded softly, with a gentle arc on the corner of his mouth, and said: "No problem, uncle will go with you."

Uncle...Uncle? Jin Qixuan's eyes widened, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart.

Kim Jong Kook suddenly patted Kim Ki Hyeon's thigh again, stared at him intently and asked:
"Have you decided to become an actor?"

Jin Qixuan was a little confused by this question. He nodded and replied, "Of course, this is what I majored in."

However, Kim Jong Kook's expression seemed a little complicated.

After a while, he sighed and said slowly:
"Now that I think about it, I don't understand why you chose drama performance as your major. I thought you would choose vocal music. After all, your sister and I laid such a good foundation for you. Sigh..."

When he mentioned his sister, his tone revealed some heaviness and helplessness, as if she had an unknown past.

Then Kim Jong Kook silently changed the subject and asked:

“Tell me about the audition process.”

He seemed to want to find some clues from Jin Qixuan's audition experience, or wanted to understand Jin Qixuan's choice and determination more deeply.

Jin Qixuan nodded and began to describe his audition process in detail.

He talks about how he prepares for a role, how he behaves in front of the camera, and the challenges and difficulties he faced during the audition.

Kim Jong Kook listened quietly, nodded from time to time, and seemed to be thinking about something.

……

After a while, Kim Jong Kook listened to Kim Ki-hyun's description of the entire audition process with a look of satisfaction on his face.

His caring eyes were like an old father watching his son showing his talent, revealing the pride and joy of having a son growing up.

After Jin Qixuan finished speaking, Jin Zhongguo seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his thigh, and said to Jin Qixuan:
"By the way, Qixuan, you don't have an agency yet, right? Prepare your resume. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and take you to sign with an agency."

When Jin Qixuan heard this, he immediately perked up and asked curiously, "What company is this?"

He still remembered how embarrassed he was in the audition room during the day, so he was looking forward to this event.

Kim Jong Kook replied:

"Blossom Entertainment was co-founded by Cha Tae-hyun and several of his friends. The actors who signed on now all came from his previous agency and are very experienced."

As soon as he heard the name "Cha Tae-hyun", Jin Qixuan's eyes immediately lit up.

He has always admired this Chungmuro ​​actor, and being able to join the agency he founded is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.

Seeing Jin Qixuan's reaction, Jin Zhongguo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you get ready. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder to show encouragement.

Jin Qixuan also responded with a smile, his heart full of expectations and longings for the future.
