Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Chapter 139 Chimi II

A gentle afternoon breeze was blowing.

Kim Ji-mi's slightly short hair brushed against the back of her hand as she rested her cheek in the wind. She reached up and smoothed her hair back, when she heard Huang Yun suddenly ask, "Ji-mi unnie, have you ever told me that you're actually very pretty?!"

Kim Ji-mi's usually quiet eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"No!?"

Huang Yun was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said, "Now I know why my brother signed you. It's because you're the kind of beauty that grows on you. The first time I saw you, I thought you weren't good-looking or ugly. The second time I saw you, I thought you were alright. But just now, when you were quiet, you were really beautiful."

Kim Ji-mi smiled after being praised by Huang Yun.

She reached out and pinched Huang Yun's cheek: "You're the prettiest one, I'm not pretty." When she said "not pretty," a hint of sadness appeared in Kim Ji-mi's gentle eyes.

It seems to remind me of Zhongteng Pictures' evaluation report on her.

However, she quickly recovered and turned to look at the tree-lined path through which the stream flowed. Besides her and Huang Yun, there was a family of three playing there not far away.

A little girl, only a few years old, was holding a net, seemingly trying to catch small fish. Only Kim Ji-mi knew that there were no small fish in the flowing stream.

Because when her parents brought her here before, she tried to fish like that little girl, but she didn't get anything.

Kim Ji-mi sat on the rock, her elbows resting on her knees, gazing ahead. The stream wasn't far from the lake, but she would come here for a walk every now and then.

"Sister Zhimei, you brought me here just to sit here?!"

After sitting for a while, Huang Yun felt uncomfortable with her bottom being pressed against the hard stones, and couldn't help but speak up.

"This place is most beautiful at dusk."

Kim Ji-mi pointed to the tree-lined path that stretched out to both sides, saying, "The glow of the setting sun will filter through the gaps in the trees, and the light reflected from the stream will make this place feel like another world."

"All right!"

Huang Yun shrugged helplessly.

Although the environment here is nice, it's only nice. In particular, you can see from here that the stream full of stones is not long, just a short distance. If you follow the cement path next to the shaded trees, you can walk it in ten minutes at most.

But even the most beautiful view has its limits. After thinking for a moment, Huang Yun asked, "Every time you come here, don't you..."

"You'll probably sit there for hours on end! By the way, Zhimei, why did you want to become an actress? Was it simply to become famous?"

The gentle gaze beneath her single eyelids turned away from what was ahead, settling on Huang Yun's face. She gently shook her head: "No."

Kim Ji-mi's voice is very soft.

During training, she is very dedicated and resilient, but when she calms down, she becomes very serene, as if she can completely empty herself of all emotions.

Her voice came through: "I like eating, planting flowers, and chasing sunsets, but there's plenty of time to do those things. I want to act because I want to experience a different life, maybe briefly, but at least it will be different."

"I don't quite understand."

Even though she is about the same age as Kim Ji-mi, Kim Ji-mi is only two years older than her.

When Kim Ji-mi calms down, she has a composure that is beyond her years. Huang Yun knows why this is the case. Kim Ji-mi's parents divorced and started their own families, leaving her to be cared for by her grandmother. This makes Kim Ji-mi seem much more mature than her. In fact, her parents have been dead for a long time, but she has an older brother.

This older brother not only took good care of her, but also provided her with a great sense of security.

Even if her older brother goes to work and isn't by her side, she doesn't feel scared.

Unlike Zhimei, when she needed companionship the most, she only had her grandmother, who later passed away.

o

You could interpret this as me wanting to experience the wonders of another person's life.

Kim Ji-mi smiled and offered an explanation.

She climbed down from the rock and walked slowly along the stones of the stream with Huang Yun. As they passed the family of three, Kim Ji-mi subconsciously glanced at the girl who was squatting there with her parents, using a red net to catch fish that didn't exist.

Reaching the end of the stream, the two returned to a straight cement road. Walking a short distance further, passing through the small bamboo grove they had crossed earlier, Huang Yun asked with a smile, "Zhimei, what do you think of my brother?!"

"Like a painter"

To Huang Yun's surprise, Kim Ji-mi gave such an answer.

"painter!?"

As the warm breeze blew in, Huang Yun paused for a moment, then chuckled. She nodded and said, "I'm not a painter, but I really love paintings. When you come to my house sometime, I'll give you a few of my brother's ink paintings. My brother always brags that his ink paintings will definitely appreciate in value in the future. In the end, he gave them to Sister Su to frame at home, and Sister Su still complained about them."

"no"

Kim Ji-mi shook her head slightly and replied, "Your brother painted a splash of color in my life during my darkest time."

"Does it have to be this profound!?"

Huang Yun laughed and replied, "If my brother heard that, he'd be ecstatic."

Huang Yun took out her phone and checked the time. Seeing that it was 1:30 PM, she said, "Let's go shopping. You'll be alone at home anyway. After we go shopping, you can come home with me tonight. My brother isn't home either. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to your company on my electric scooter."

Kim Ji-mi did not refuse.

The two arrived at the charging station, paid the bill, and rode their electric scooter towards a large shoe and clothing trade center in the city. That night, Kim Ji-mi stayed at Huang Yun's house.

Around 9 o'clock, Huang Yun and Huang Min started a video call.

"Brother, guess who came to our house tonight? Ta-da! Look who's here!?"

As she spoke, Huang Yun pointed the video at Kim Ji-mi sitting next to her and said, "It's Ji-mi-nee. This afternoon she took me to a really nice place."

Su Qing said you train very hard.

Seeing that it was Kim Ji-mi, Huang Min reminded her, "Don't push yourself too hard. Damaging your body is a lifelong problem. Zhou Bo's scenes will be finished filming in a few days. Before he goes back, I'll finalize the choreography with him. You and Li Tian can practice like this then. If you need anything, just tell Manager Su. Don't be shy; you're a contracted artist with the company, and I want to learn from you..."

It's true that we make money online, but I never intended to exploit you as a tool to make real money. There's still a long way to go, so don't be too eager for quick success.

Finally, Huang Min asked with a smile, "You agree, right, Xiao Mei?"

When she heard Huang Min call her "Xiao Mei", Kim Ji-mi, who was sitting next to Huang Yun, paused almost imperceptibly.
