Chapter 29: The Zheng Sisters

  After chatting for a few sentences, Yoon Eun-hye changed into her sports attire in the temporary dressing room and put on ice skates to practice on the ice. According to the script, she had to complete BabyVox's signature dance moves on the ice surface. Although she was already very familiar with the dance moves, dancing on ice proved to be several times more difficult, and some movements were impossible to execute on the ice, making it easy to slip and fall. Therefore, the company's choreographer modified some of the movements beforehand to make them more suitable for the ice. After three or four days of intense practice, Yoon Eun-hye had a good grasp of the moves, but it was still difficult to guarantee that she would not make any mistakes.

  Zhang Chengyuan also unfolded his practice, practicing on one side and still having the energy to appreciate Yin En-hui's version of "Ice Dance".

  However, Zhang Chengyuan's dance appreciation ability is extremely limited, and he basically can't tell good from bad. He just thinks this dance is very lively and cute, the difficulty is also quite general, it should be quite suitable for young students to dance, and this dance is also quite in line with the requirements of this school uniform advertisement, fresh and dynamic image, paired with cool ice sports, may lead the trend in a small range.

  As for whether it can stimulate the sale of goods, it is not something that Zhang Chengyuan can predict. After all, things are hard to predict, and Zhang Chengyuan has deeply understood this point after so many years of practicing Taoism. Therefore, he has expectations for the future but never makes unnecessary guesses, always thinking that doing a good job in the present is the most important thing.

  During their practice, the director of this advertisement was watching from the sidelines, nodding his head repeatedly, seemingly very satisfied. After practicing for another ten or so minutes, the director had them come down to rest, in order to save their energy for the formal filming later on.

  At this time, there was still more than half an hour before Park Byung-ryul had reserved the entire ice rink in advance. In other words, it was still a considerable amount of time before filming began. After Zhang Chengyuan and Yoon Eun-hye changed into CleverS school uniforms, they sat on a chair to the side, chatting idly. About ten or more steps away, five or six staff members stood guard, preventing passersby from coming over to disturb them. Meanwhile, Park Byung-ryul was enthusiastically exchanging conversation with Yoon Eun-hye's agent not far away, seemingly having an endless topic of discussion, occasionally glancing over in their direction.

  Jang Sung-won and Yoon Eun-hye wore similarly styled CleverS school uniforms, looking perfectly matched whether viewed from near or far, just like real-life seniors and juniors from the same school. Both of them felt even more familiar with each other, thus becoming less restrained, laughing more freely and openly when they were having fun.

  Just as they were laughing, a child's voice suddenly asked, "Brother, sister, can I talk to you for a bit?" Zhang Chengyuan and Yoon Eun-hye turned their heads to see that the speaker was a six or seven year old little girl, delicate and lovely, extremely cute. Yoon Eun-hye immediately softened her voice and asked, "Little sister, who are you? Do you have something to ask us?"

  Little girl looked up and said: "My name is Krystal, you can call me Crystal. I want to talk to you, you guys look very good, I like it a lot, and just now ice skating was also...very good-looking." The little girl spoke incoherently, seemingly not very familiar with Korean, but her demeanor was surprisingly impressive, looking like an adult.

  Yoon Eun-hye said: "How did you get here? Where are your mom and dad?"

  "Crystal said: I came with my sister to play, Dad and Mom are busy today and not at home, they don't let us go out to play. My sister wanted to sneak out secretly, I followed her, she didn't want me to follow, so I said I would tell mom, she was afraid and took me along."

  "And what about your sister?"

  The little girl turned around and pointed to a figure skating on the ice rink, saying: "That one wearing a pink sports jacket is my sister. She's having fun playing alone, but she won't teach me how to play. Brother, sister, why don't you teach me?"

  Zhang Chengyuan secretly smiled to himself: So you snuck up to us just to get us to teach you how to ice skate! This little girl is quite clever, actually able to slip through the staff's protective net. But your sister doesn't even teach you, how can I take her place? If you fall or have an accident, how can I bear the responsibility? So he politely declined: "Little girl, ice skating isn't something that can be learned in just one or two days, brother and sister still have things to do later, we don't have time to teach you."

  Little girl grabbed Zhang Chengyuan and Yoon Eun-hye's hands, coquettishly saying: "Teach me, teach me! I'm very smart, I'll definitely learn it in no time. My dad and mom are athletes..." Her eyes rolled around, looking at Zhang Chengyuan one moment and then Yoon Eun-hye the next, trying to figure out who would be softer-hearted.

  Finally, Yoon Eun-hye was moved by Xiao Yu's pleading eyes and looked at Zhang Chengyuan with a questioning gaze. Zhang Chengyuan couldn't refuse and agreed, but he only wanted to take Xiao Yu for a short skate on the ice.

  After consulting with the agent and getting their consent, they may have thought that this behavior would help improve the fans' favorability, and also felt that with Zhang Chengyuan and Yoon Eun-hye's skills, they could definitely take care of this little girl. Yoon Eun-hye personally helped Little Crystal put on a pair of ice skates that fit her feet, and wore protective gear such as elbow pads, knee pads, gloves, and a helmet, lest she accidentally get hurt later. Zhang Chengyuan just stood by the side, looking at Little Crystal coldly, but unfortunately, Little Crystal was not afraid at all, and instead smiled happily at Zhang Chengyuan.

  Wearing their gear, the three of them stepped onto the ice rink. The little girl was overjoyed but almost fell as soon as she stepped onto the ice, luckily Zhang Chengyuan quickly caught her. From then on, the little girl held onto Zhang Chengyuan's hand and wouldn't let go for even a moment, afraid that another accident would happen.

  Jang Sung-won and Yoon Eun-hye were slowly sliding on the ice, each holding one of Soo-jung's hands. Before long, Soo-jung became excited, looking around with shining eyes, and suddenly shouted in a certain direction, "Sister, I'm over here!" As if to show off to her sister how resourceful she was, even though her sister didn't teach her ice-skating, she could still find someone to help her.

  Suddenly, a little girl wearing pink sportswear slid over, around 11 or 12 years old, with a clear and pretty face, but an icy expression. Seeing Xiaoshui, she shouted, "Who let you come down here?" Then, with a vigilant gaze, she kept sizing up Zhang Chengyuan and Yin Enhuai. After seeing their excellent looks and temperament, she felt they didn't seem like bad people, so her expression eased, and she bowed slightly, saying, "Hello!" Next, she lowered her head and quietly asked Xiaoshui, "Who are this brother and sister? How do you know them?" She had been living abroad for a long time and had just returned to the country not long ago, so she was still quite unfamiliar with the Korean entertainment circle, and therefore didn't have much impression of Zhang Chengyuan and Yin Enhuai.

  "This is my big brother and pretty sister that I just met, they are my good friends. They're called... " Suddenly remembering that she didn't know Zhang Chengyuan and Yoon Eun-hye's names, she turned around to ask: "Brother, what's your name? Sister, what's your name?"

  Her sister complained in her heart: "You don't even recognize them, and you're so close to them. Didn't I tell you not to talk to strangers casually? Be careful not to be sold by bad people." Although she had some opinions about her younger sister's disobedience, she also felt that the big brother and sister in front of her were unlikely to be malicious villains.

  Jang Sung-won and Yoon Eun-hye exchanged a glance, both with a hint of amusement in their eyes. They felt somewhat helpless at the forwardness of Little Crystal, but were also touched by her innocence and cuteness, so they not only didn't feel impatient, but instead became even more patient.

  "Hey there, little Water Crystal... and you too, miss. My name is Zhang Chengyuan, I'm a commercial photographer!"

  Yoon Eun-hye said in a soft voice, "My sister's name is Yoon Eun-hye, she's a singer. Today I came here to film an advertisement with this brother. Can you tell my sister your name?"

  "Sooyoung's sister replied: "Brother, sister, hello. I'm Jung Soo-young. Thank you for taking care of my younger sister Soojung earlier."
