Chapter Six The Actor

  Chu Jingyan followed the navigation route and headed towards her destination.

  Li Yunxi looked at Chu Jingyan with curiosity and asked: "Are you Chinese?"

  Chu Jing nodded slightly.

  "How long have you been in Seoul?"

  "Five years."

  "Really?" Li Yoon-hee's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect that Choo Kyung-yeon had been living in Seoul for such a long time. She continued to ask, "Then do you know who I am?"

  "Li Yunxi."

  "What's next?"

  "That's it."

  "It's boring." Li Yunxi completely shut her mouth.

  Rousseau once said: Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

  Originally just out for a stroll, Chu Jingyan was forced to be a driver, Chu Jingyan felt that he had been living in a cage all along, for example, he didn't want to be a driver at all, but still had to drive the woman who seemed gentle but was actually a chatterbox.

  Chu Jingyun didn't know if Li Yunxi had such a strong desire for knowledge only towards herself, or if she was like that with everyone. The thoughts of beautiful women were truly hard to grasp, let alone someone like Li Yunxi who was not only beautiful but also came from a good family.

  Chu Jingyuan said with a broken tone: "Five years is indeed enough time for me to understand this city, and it's also enough time for me to understand the people I need to understand."

  "For example?"

  "For example, who I am working for, for example, I know what I am doing, for example, I also know that if you want to live well in Seoul, you can't offend your grandfather."

  Li Yunxi furrowed his brow: "Your age and way of speaking really don't match."

  "What's wrong with it?"

  "It may be a bit rude to say this, but I always feel like there's a gloomy atmosphere when you speak, and although you're not old, you give me the impression of an elderly person."

  Doesn't this girl know that there's a word called maturity in this world? Chu Jingyan showed great discontent.

  Putting aside the unpleasant topic of "Chu Jing's words and dusk", Li Yunxi continued: "Since you understand so much, know a lot of things, that means your life is not bad, right?"

  "It's actually not good."

  Li Yunxi turned his eyes and said, "As far as I know, Chairman Chen is very good to the people under him, let alone you are someone he values, how can you live a poor life?"

  Chu Jing didn't know what words to use to express her thoughts, so she could only shut her mouth and stop talking.

  "Anyway, since you're someone Chairman Chen holds in high regard, you should have some skills. Although you look quite dull and it's hard to tell what your strengths are, your mouth is incredibly poisonous. You're completely different from the Chinese men I know."

  Chu Jing spoke up and said: "What kind of Chinese man is in your mind?"

  Li Yunxi was clearly surprised that Chu Jingyan could speak to him proactively, so he said: "In my company, there are many trainees from China. How should I put it, they all live very cautiously."

  Chu Jingyan said: "Me too."

  Li Yunxi shook her head in disagreement with Chu Jingyan's words: "But they are very polite."

  "Politeness is for those who deserve politeness."

  Li Yunxi was clearly choked by Chu Jingyan's absurd theory and asked, "Are you saying that I don't deserve for you to be polite to me? Do you know who I am?"

  Chu Jingyu looked at Li Yunxi and shook his head, saying: "I didn't mean that."

  "What does it mean?"

  Chu Jingyun drove in silence, occasionally casting a sidelong glance at the navigator, and he had no intention of answering any of Li Yunxi's questions.

  Years of living alone had taught Chu Jingyan how to get along with himself, and even more so, how to think things through in his own world. When he forgot about Li Yunxi by his side, a question suddenly flashed through his mind, and he thought seriously about it.

  A few days ago in that private room, Chen Shuo gave Chu Jingyan a period of time to consider. During this time, Chu Jingyan did not think about the better life that would be waiting for her after she agreed, nor did she think about how her life would change.

  Even if he didn't want to admit it, Chu Jingyuan clearly remembered the girl with brown eyes.

  Out of the blue, Chu Jingyan accepted Chen Shuo's invitation without hesitation.

  Chu Jingyan still couldn't understand why he had helped Gao Ya block Jin Xinyu's anger without hesitation, and then humiliated him. This was a completely negative calculation in his mind, with no reason at all. The heroic act of saving the beauty had never happened to him before, and Chu Jingyan could ignore even more terrible situations.

  Why did something go wrong on that particular day?

  Chu Jingyan doesn't think Gao Yaluo has that much charm to make him do so, after all, Chu Jingyan thinks it's better not to think about it too much, because this will make him appear particularly pretentious.

  Fortunately, there will never be an intersection again. Chu Jingyan thought that his sentimental feelings were due to the anxiety and melancholy of facing a new life, rather than Gaoya La.

  Just a high school girl, what qualifications does she have to make him uneasy?

  "We're here." Li Yunxi's voice pulled Chu Jingyan back to reality.

  Chu Jingyan drove the car to a slightly old office building under the guidance of Li Yunxi, and Li Yunxi got out of the car and waved at Chu Jingyan: "No matter what, thank you for bringing me back. Maybe we'll have another chance to meet in the future, so I'll say goodbye first."

  Chu Jingyan felt that she really didn't want to see this woman again.

  Li Yunxi's expression began to change, a change that made Chu Jingyan feel unbelievable. The elegant demeanor returned to Li Yunxi after she finished speaking, her slightly raised chin like a proud white swan.

  Chu Jingyan felt a bit absurd, are all women like this with perfect acting skills?

  "Yǔn Xī jiě." -> "Sister Yun Xi."

  Chu Jingyan raised her head and looked at the owner of the voice. Li Yunxi walked up to the girl with a smile: "Yala, are you back from school?"

  Never thought that I would meet Gaya again, nor did I think that Lee Yun-hee would know Gaya. It seems like the two of them have a pretty good relationship.

  The girl under the sunlight always gives people another feeling, her face without makeup looks more elegant, those brown eyes are full of smile, the high-heeled shoes seen that night were not the real high-heeled shoes, at this moment, this girl who is full of warm and gentle atmosphere all over her body, is the real high-heeled shoes.

  Chu Jingyan sat in the car, looking at Gao Yala, feeling that this world was surprisingly small, and also felt the so-called fate playing tricks on people.

  The person I least wanted to see is the one I ended up seeing.

  Gao Yara was wearing her school uniform and jogged up to Li Yunxi, smiling: "Sister, are you staying at the company dormitory again today?"

  Li Yunxi nodded: "Right."

  Chu Jingyan started the car, ready to leave, but Li Yunxi directly pulled the door and said to Chu Jingyan: "If you have time, can you take me and my sister to the restaurant up ahead?"

  Before Chu Jingyan could speak, Li Yunxi continued: "As a reward, I can agree to have lunch with us."

  "Not interested." Chu Jingyan started turning the steering wheel.

  Li Yunxi took a deep breath and said: "Don't challenge my bottom line, I'm afraid of myself when I get angry."

  Gaoyala looked curiously at the person in the driver's seat and exclaimed: "It's you."

  Chu Jingyan's eyes met those of Gao Yalun, and his mouth curled up slightly, which was what people called a smile.

  Li Yunxi was slightly surprised and asked: "Yara, do you know him?"

  Gaoyala nodded and said, "Sister, he is the good person who helped me out of trouble yesterday. I thought we would never meet again, but unexpectedly, we met today."

  Li Yunxi was surprised again and looked at Chu Jingyan saying: "I really didn't expect you to be so chivalrous."

  Chu Jingyan said: "I didn't expect it either."

  Gao Yala smiled and rushed to bow to Chu Jingyan who was sitting in the car, saying: "Sir, I'm really glad to see you again."

  After that unpleasant evening, Gao Yala's life returned to normal. Jin Xinyu didn't show up for class the next day and wasn't seen for the following three days. Originally worried, she relaxed her mood, and not being bothered was what made Gao Yala feel most at ease.

  Gradually starting to forget Chu Jingyan, on a day when she was about to forget him, she saw him again.

  "Are you taking us to the restaurant or not?"

  Chu Jingyan opened the car door.

  Li Yunxi smiled and pulled Gao Ya's hand into the back seat, pointing to the road ahead and saying: "After leaving this street, turn left and then go straight for ten minutes."

  The car was quiet, Chu Jingyan drove without saying a word. Li Yunxi spoke up: "Since you know Yara now and also know that Yara is my sister, don't you have any curiosity to understand something? For example, why we got to know each other, why in this company, what exactly are we doing, don't you want to know at all?"

  Chu Jingyun didn't think much and replied: "No."

  Lee Yoon-hee said with a hint of sarcasm: "What, is it that burdensome for Cheonjang-dong's Cho Gyeong-yeon to be a free driver just this once?"

  "No."

  "You now look like you've automatically switched to cool mode after meeting a girl you like, but do you know that girls actually like men who are humorous, responsible and not boring."

  "Oh."

  Gao Yara couldn't understand the conversation between Li Yunxi and Chu Jingyan tomorrow, so she could only sit quietly on one side. For her, it was difficult to understand the relationship between Li Yunxi and Chu Jingyan. Okay, these two people didn't have much of a relationship anyway.

  But their conversation was filled with humor due to Chu Jingyan's absent-mindedness, and she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  Outside or in the company, Li Yunxi's image is polite and elegant, but only people like Gao Yaluo who have been with her for a long time know that this sister has a very alternative personality.

  Some are unreliable and some are neurotic.

  The restaurant arrived, Li Yunxi looked at Chu Jingyan and said: "Do you think it's better for me to invite you alone once for a meal, or bring Yara together to invite?"

  Chu Jingyu glanced at Li Yunxi and didn't look at Gao Yala, thought for a moment, then unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
