Chapter 23

"Damn it!!!"

In an instant, both the members and the manager had the same thought: if it weren't for Xu Xian's special situation, they would have definitely gone up to scold the person, and even the manager forgot that this was a parking lot next to S.M. If someone took a picture...

However, only Lin Yoon-a knew that, to be honest, Li Huanle was quite innocent. The object had flown out during their playful chase and was then stepped on by Li Huanle. The others thought Li Huanle had done something wrong.

When Xu Xian heard this, she clenched her fists and bit her lower lip tightly, her whole body trembling.

Li Huanle, seeing the girl's appearance, the idea of trying to build a relationship with her suddenly diminished. He put his right hand in his pocket and, under the hostile gazes of the Girls' Generation members and the manager, a surprising smile appeared on his face. Although it looked very warm, it made them even angrier that this man could still smile.

"I have an invincible heart, it can take me anywhere, do anything, whether it's wind or rain, or thorns, nothing can stop my steps!"

"I have an invincible heart, it is neither lost nor bewildered, not afraid of failure, it will move forward towards the goal with unwavering determination, no matter when, no matter where, never retreating!"

"The strength is always in the heart, not in a small white dove. If you think the white dove can bring you something... "

"Whoosh!"

Li Huanle took out a set of keys from his pocket, and in front of everyone, including Xu Xian, who was shocked, he took a badge from the keychain... a white dove badge, identical to the one that had been stepped on.

But the difference was that this badge was... silver.

"I'll give it to you. The white dove badge itself has no meaning. If the things in your heart are as fragile as the pieces on the ground, then even a silver badge will be of no use!" Li Huanle quickly pinned the silver white dove badge on Xu Xian's left arm, then walked past her and headed towards the parking lot.

On the side, Kim Tae-yeon and the others were stunned, looking at this man with disbelief. Just now... was he reciting a poem? And what did he pin on Xian's arm?

Li Huanle walked past these people. In fact, the words he just said were not only for Xu Xian but also to motivate himself. After putting himself aside for two years, he now needed more strength, an invincible heart to move forward.

This realization actually came when he was first taken to the police station at the age of fourteen and brought home by his stepfather. Since then, like that invincible resolve, he had never retreated.

Although this first meeting didn't leave a good impression on these girls, Li Huanle didn't feel regretful because he had also gained something significant, truly finding himself again.

Xu Xian's anger quickly dissipated after Li Huanle's words and the appearance of the silver white dove badge.

She reached out in surprise to take the silver badge from her sweater, thinking to herself, "It's the same, really the same... but is there really any difference between a silver one and a plastic one? Why did he give this to me? Isn't the white dove badge very important?"

"Xian, are you okay?"

"Xian, what is this? Did he hit you just now?"

"Xian, should we go after him and settle the score?"

...

The concern from her sisters finally brought Xu Xian back to her senses. She looked at the silver badge in her hand, thinking about the man's words, and her heart began to beat strongly again, as if remembering something.

When the teacher gave her the white dove badge that year, there was no pain, regret, or reluctance, just a reminder to be happy and do what she wanted, nothing more.

And today, in such a situation, she received a silver white dove badge in such a way, which was very special, really very special...

"Is my heart so fragile?"

...

As Xu Xian asked herself, the others' gazes also fell on the silver badge in her hand.

"Exactly the same!"

This thought appeared in everyone's mind at the same time. However, at this moment, everyone's gaze, except for Kim Tae-yeon, fell on Lin Yoon-a.

Lin Yoon-a was also very surprised. She hadn't heard from her sisters that there was a silver white dove badge. Seeing the inquiring gazes of the other unnie, Lin Yoon-a could only innocently shake her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

At this moment, Li Huanle hadn't realized that this not-so-pleasant encounter had left a very strong impression on the Girls' Generation members, even more so than what he had initially planned to do.

As for the girl named Xu Xian, Li Huanle didn't know why she had the badge, but it wasn't very important. The actual significance of the white dove badge... wasn't very profound. The reason for making the badge was just a kind of proof or a souvenir.

But everyone is different, so a small badge also had different meanings for each person. Regardless of how others got their badges, Li Huanle's badge had more of a commemorative meaning for him.

As for Xu Xian, Li Huanle had only inferred some things from her agitated appearance. That thing might be very important to her, but no matter how important it was, it wouldn't drive someone to madness unless she herself attached great importance to it, even as a寄托 or symbol.

So, Li Huanle said those words out of a sense of feeling.

Driving away from there, although Li Huanle didn't get anything from his first visit to S.M., he truly found himself again.

Of course, he felt a bit regretful about meeting the Girls' Generation, but there would definitely be other opportunities to meet them, and Li Huanle was already looking forward to it.

Standing on the roadside, Kim Tae-yeon watched the car drive by, slightly puzzled. Although it was just a little, she felt like she had seen this man somewhere before.

...

"Min-kyung, I don't know any cute, young, and good-singing trainees. And the people I know in the company, you basically know too!"

In the recording studio, Lee Hae-ri, who had just finished recording, sat on the sofa and replied helplessly to Kang Min-kyung.

Davichi's first mini album of 2009 would be released at the end of this month, so their work schedule was very tight, and they had already started preparing for their comeback.

But Kang Min-kyung had been a bit troubled lately. Every time an oppa called her, urging her to help find a trainee, the conditions were so strict that it wasn't easy to find someone.

Good singers were rarely young, and even if there were young good singers, they might not be young, beautiful, and cute, and vice versa.

Most importantly, Li Huanle's conditions were too vague. Kang Min-kyung had actually tried to find two, but after sending their photos and recorded audio, Li Huanle rejected them, saying they lacked uniqueness, which made Kang Min-kyung want to give him a few abdominal cramp punches.
