Carefully walking around the old family house, he thought, well, it's a bit dilapidated, but it can still be lived in after some cleaning. The futon in the closet is a bit moldy, but it still looks new and can be used after airing it out.

Thinking about this, Li Shenglin smiled. If he remembered correctly, Li Shengji's birthday is in January, right? Ha ha, just thinking about the hard times Li Shengji went through fills him with endless joy.

The house was inhabited two years ago, but what about before Li Shengji? It must have been decades, how satisfying!

Actually, someone comes to clean the old house every year, but we won't tell Li Shenglin that. He's had enough of a shock today, let him be happy for a while. Anyway, he won't be happy for long!

Why?

"Damn, this rice and flour have been here for a year, right? Can it still be eaten?" Looking at the moldy food, Li Shenglin cried... No meat, no vegetables, and now no staple food. Will he starve to death here?

Thinking about the look of care in his father's eyes when he drove away his car, Li Shenglin finally understood... Indeed, one can only appreciate the sweetness after experiencing the bitterness...

His previous life was truly too happy...

Fortunately, he still has two good friends. He can ask them to drive over with some food. He won't feel guilty, and it would be even better if they could stay to share the hardship with him!

Who should he call? Chanmin? No, let's not disturb them; the couple is in a sweet phase. Besides, Park Hyo-min and Park Ji-yeon are in the same group, and he wants to keep his distance from Ji-yeon for now, so both can cool down.

Now he can only trouble Jisung. He felt a bit embarrassed for not watching his cousin's performance with him yesterday, but what are friends for if not to be used? Finally, after a long time, the phone was answered, "Hey, Jisung, what are you doing? Why didn't you answer the phone for so long!"

At this moment, a woman answered, "Hello!" Is he dating someone now? Could it be someone he met yesterday? His friends have all grown up... "I'm Omma's niece, Choi Sooyoung. What do you need from Omma?"

Oh, it's his mysterious niece from Girls' Generation, "Oh, it's Sooyoung. I'll call you that. I'm Li Shenglin, your cousin's friend. Where is he? I have something urgent to tell him!"

Choi Sooyoung, who should have been licking her wounds with her sisters, had experienced failure before and was more mature. She didn't get as lost in grief as her sisters.

Moreover, her cousin had gotten into a fight for her and was hospitalized, so she felt she should visit. Her sisters understood.

Her cousin was resting when the phone rang. To avoid disturbing him, she answered it. She wasn't sure whether to tell the caller about her cousin's condition, but seeing the simple "Bro" in the caller ID, she knew they were close, so she decided to tell the truth, "Omma..."

Before Sooyoung could finish, the phone was snatched away. It was Jisung, who, despite being injured, wasn't seriously hurt, just some minor injuries. The ones he hit were in much worse shape...

He didn't want Sooyoung to reveal his condition, not because he was worried about Shenglin, but because he felt embarrassed. He hadn't fought in two years, and now he was hospitalized, how embarrassing!

He didn't know that Li Shenglin had suffered much more humiliation today, "I was in the bathroom. What's up?"

Usually, he wouldn't say so many words, but he was a bit nervous...

Li Shenglin was only thinking about food and didn't notice the slight abnormality, "My irresponsible father threw me into the old family house as a coming-of-age ceremony. I have to stay here for half a month, and there's nothing to eat!"

"Where?"

"Namhae County, Gyeongsangnam-do..." Li Shenglin gave the address, "Bring as much food as possible. I have to stay for half a month. Of course, bring some clean bedding and clothes for changing!"

"Wait for me!"

Seeing her cousin struggling to go help that Shenglin, Sooyoung was worried, "No! You're injured, you need to rest!"

"He'll starve to death!"

Knowing her cousin's stubborn nature, Sooyoung tried to persuade him, "You should rest. I'll go help!"

"You have to stay overnight!"

She thought her cousin wouldn't listen, but surprisingly, he agreed. As long as he could lie down, everything else was secondary, "It's fine, isn't he your friend? He'll be fine!"

Sooyoung could only comfort herself this way. She knew what her family was like and could guess the kind of people her cousin knew. She could only hope for the best, otherwise, thinking about it, in the middle of nowhere, a man and a woman...

She shook her head, it won't happen...

She was from Girls' Generation, and although she had just gone through a nightmare and wasn't as pretty as YoonA or Sica, her figure was top-notch... Driving to Gyeongsangnam-do with the prepared items, Sooyoung was still a bit nervous...

What Sooyoung didn't know was that when she rushed out of the hospital with the car keys, afraid her cousin would change his mind, her cousin actually smiled, a strange smile that rarely appeared on a person who rarely smiled or even had a poker face...

The Choi family, though not a wealthy clan, had some questionable background and didn't really want the little princess to be an idol singer, as the status of idol singers in Korea is not high!

But they spoiled her so much that they didn't know how to stop her, so they let her be.

For this reason, the adults in the family and her cousin Jisung had discussed it several times. The conclusion was that as long as they found a good man, the little princess would settle down and get married!

So the whole family started secretly looking for suitable candidates, and Jisung immediately thought of his good friend Li Shenglin.

Having some flirtations with a few girls? It doesn't matter, even if it's true, so what? How many successful men are clean in this aspect...

Having a child? It's a small issue... The child's mother is also a small issue...

But family wealth shouldn't go to outsiders. He knew they were incompatible, but it's worth a try, right?

So the moment Sooyoung offered to help, he decided. Whether they would spark or not was not his concern...
