Chapter 28: Dependence is also a kind of happiness

  Even if Kim Hye-yeon wasn't heavy at all, it was still a considerable burden for Kim Tae-yeon to carry her on his back, so they walked very slowly. Unfortunately, Chu Jingyan didn't have three heads and six arms, and both of his hands were occupied, rendering him completely helpless.

  Looking at Kim Tae-yeon, who was slightly panting, the originally pale face had already flushed with a red glow. Chu Jingyan curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled: "We'll be there soon."

  Kim Tae-yeon looked up at Chu Jingyan and asked, "Actually, you can just call Tiffany over."

  Chu Jingyan said: "You can also call Xia Yan up."

  Kim Tae-yeon was stunned for a moment, and the two of them burst out laughing at each other.

  Elderly people all hope that they can be relied upon by younger generations, and this point may be shown more subtly in young people like Chu Jingyan and Kim Taeyeon.

  To put it simply, Kim Tae-yeon as an older sister would not disturb her younger sister's beautiful dream. After a few days of interaction and understanding, even if Choo Kyung-yin is stubborn and never says anything, both Tiffany and Choo Kyung-yin herself consider each other to be their reliance in this unfamiliar city.

  Relying on someone is actually a very touching and happy word, because it represents a layer of defense in one's heart that is not easily broken. This defense comes from the reliance on the person being relied upon with unwavering trust.

  Even if they have been living here for a long time, but even Kim Tae-yeon, who was born in the whole state and came to Seoul to struggle far away from home, would often feel tired and miss her family, let alone Tiffany, a girl who originally lived abroad. So sometimes Kim Tae-yeon admires Tiffany.

  Even if she is timid, even if she loves to cry, but when it's time to be strong, she will always be stronger than anyone else.

  Strength represents fearlessness, which is a rare and precious good habit of Tiffany. She loves to cry, but that doesn't mean she's weak. Her timidness also doesn't mean she's afraid of challenges.

  If she was afraid of these things, she wouldn't have come to Seoul alone in the first place and become a trainee for so many years.

  "Tiffany used to be very dependent on me, even if I didn't do a good job, she still liked to rely on me," said Kim Tae-yeon. "But after you appeared, she suddenly became bolder and had an inexplicable persistence in doing things."

  "Oh?" Chu Jing Yan was somewhat surprised.

  "It's true." Taeyeon carefully lifted Sooyoung up a bit and said, "Whether it's bright or lively, the things Tiffany loves to do seem to always be like that, but when we're together, she's just like a startled deer, timid and fearful, it really looks pitiful."

  "But I don't know when it started, her voice seemed to have gotten louder too." As she said this, Kim Tae-yeon's face broke into a smile. "It was as if she had found a reliable supporter, and I think that must have been after she met you again."

  Chu Jing said nothing and remained silent.

  It's just like what Kim Tae-yeon said, that night on the street after running into Tiffany, the two had completely opposite reactions. Now thinking about it, it seems really hurtful.

  I remember that little fatty was laughing very happily, but Chu Jingyan felt that he couldn't recognize her and it wasn't his fault. When they parted ways before, she was still a dark-skinned and chubby fatty, but when they met again, she had transformed into a fair-skinned and slender-legged beauty. The difference between these two was really too great.

  At that time, Chu Jingyan was under the double pressure of the Golden Dragon in the Snake Palace and the streets of Qingtuan Cave, making him look very gloomy. At that time, Tiffany's appearance did not bring the so-called sunshine in the plot, but only the little fat woman who had been thinking deeply in his memory.

  Chu Jingyan didn't think anything would happen in the following days, because at that time he was already overwhelmed with troubles, so when Tiffany came to communicate with him with good intentions, Chu Jingyan's behavior seemed a bit too ruthless.

  Most of the time, Chu Jingyan felt that he was very annoying to others. Originally, he didn't have any friends, and losing friends was something that Chu Jingyan naturally did not want to happen to himself.

  It wasn't until after I had tidied up all the things on hand that I realized I had actually met an old acquaintance.

  "So when she said she wanted to help you, I totally agreed. For Tiffany, there can't be anyone opposing you in your matters, she wants to help you, so she started doing it."

  Chu Jingyan finally spoke up and said: "I'm very happy."

  "What's wrong?" asked Kim Tae-yeon.

  "It's because there are really people who would rack their brains to think of good things for me." Chu Jingyan said with a smile, "Don't laugh at me, this seems a bit luxurious to me."

  "It's impossible for anyone to like loneliness, but some lonely people have just gotten used to its existence. I'm glad Tiffany can see me as a source of motivation, and also glad that because of me, she feels that the days ahead won't be too tough."

  "To be honest, she's still young and hasn't grown up yet. It's natural for someone who is immature to want someone to rely on because it makes her feel at ease."

  Chu Jing smiled and said: "I never thought I'd become someone else's reliance, but this feeling is actually not bad, it's very reassuring."

  "What can you rely on?" asked Kim Tae-yeon.

  Chu Jingyun looked up at the starless night sky, then turned her head and smiled at Kim Tae-hyun: "Of course, it's all by myself."

  "Are you tired?"

  "After eating a full meal and taking a nap, even the most tiring things can be endured," Chu Jingyan said. "Just like you wanting to become a star, my goal is slightly more vague - to become a star, then let more people know you, like you, and thus achieve material and spiritual success. As for me, I just hope to live a good life."

  Kim Tae-yeon thought for a moment and asked: "Specifically?"

  "To be specific, I'm certain that what I'm doing now can get me what I want. The only thing that requires my sincerity is to do it well."

  "Is what you're doing difficult?"

  Chu Jing shook his head and said, "It depends on the person and the situation. Maybe I'm good at handling these things, but if you ask me to dance or sing, I might scare everyone away."

  Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but laugh.

  "Actually, your voice sounds very charming."

  "Really?" Chu Jing smiled and said, "I was just being modest."

  The smile in Kim Tae-yeon's eyes grew thicker.

  Laughed enough, Kim Tae-yeon still had a hint of brightness in her eyes: "Were you curious before why Tiffany always calls you out to do some special and strange things?"

  "To be honest, this is all we can think of."

  "It's indeed a bit strange in my eyes." Chu Jing said with a smile, "Moreover, it seems that her courage hasn't increased much either. Every time she still needs to pull you along to boost her confidence."

  "And also, I'm not as hard to get close to as you guys think. I may not be easy-going or approachable, but being kind and friendly is something I have a bit of talent for. Maybe it's because the impression I gave before was a bit off, but being feared by people is actually a very uncomfortable thing."

  "Perhaps it is necessary to have some of this emotion when dealing with subordinates, but when dealing with friends, even if there is a big age difference, I think these obstacles can be ignored."

  Kim Tae-yeon flicked away the slightly overgrown bangs on her forehead and said, "If you hadn't seen through it, would you have thought that everything I've done was all in vain?"

  "How is that?" Chu Jingyan said, "I'm very happy now, to exaggerate a bit, the number of times I've laughed in all these years in Seoul hasn't been as many as these days."

  Taeyeon smiled and said: "Tiffany looks good when she smiles, as her brother, you should smile more too."

  Older brother.

  Chu Jingyan suddenly burst out laughing, except for a long time ago when he was called this nickname, no one has ever called him that again, not even Xiaofei, even if she treated Chu Jingyan like an older brother in Seoul, as Kim Taeyeon said.

  "It's true, laughter can make you look younger by ten years."

  "So, just like you said before, being relied on isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes don't put too much pressure on yourself, trust your teammates and believe that they can handle things well on their own, then the pressure will be greatly reduced."

  "To be able to trust someone is a kind of happiness, and to be trusted is even greater happiness."

  This man is indeed as Tiffany said, very hard to understand, sometimes so unserious that it makes people laugh loudly, and sometimes so serious that it makes people feel tense.

  So no matter how Kim Tae-yeon adjusts her attitude, she can't communicate with Chu Jingyan in a particularly relaxed way.

  This is really a helpless thing.

  Chu Jing rubbed the sleep from her eyes and mumbled curiously, "What are you guys talking about?"

  "Wake up? If you're awake, don't sleep anymore, or you won't be able to sleep tonight," Chu Jingyan said. "Also, you still have a bit of weight on you."

  The woman attaches great importance to her weight, especially the little fat girl who has transformed from a fat woman to a beauty. Suddenly came in spirit and patted Chu Jingyan's shoulder, shouting: "Where did I get fat?"

  Then she found herself floating with both feet off the ground, her body stuck to Chu Jingyan's back. Chu Jingyan, wearing a suit jacket, didn't feel much, while the increasingly hot weather made Xiaofei wear even more revealing clothes, and her already developing breasts were pressed against Chu Jingyan's back, with only a pair of shorts covering her thighs.

  Tightly wrapped around Chu Jingyan's waist.

  She couldn't move, and under the cover of night, no one saw her face gradually turning red.

  "What's wrong with carrying you?"

  "Nonsense, you sleep like a dead pig and don't even carry you back. Are you going to leave you there?" Chu Jingyan said, "This is really ungrateful, this is really ungrateful."

  Kim Tae-yeon's family finally arrived, Tiffany hastily jumped down from Chu Jingyan's back, and Chu Jingyan stepped forward to hold Kim Haneul in his arms, saying softly: "I didn't expect you to be so strong."

  Kim Tae-yeon frowned and said with a sigh: "I'm exhausted."

  "Tiffany yawned: 'I'm also very tired.'"

  "Where are you staying?" Jin Taiyan only then realized a problem, the rooms in the house were clearly not enough, and there were no hotels nearby, so Chu Jingyan's accommodation for tonight had become a problem.

  Chu Jingyan replied: "I still want to go back to Seoul."

  "Tiffany grabbed Chu Jingyan's arm, "You're going back? What about us?"

  "I'll come pick you up when it's time for you to head back."
