Chapter 77

As for the few young girls, Li Shenglin thought for a moment and decided to give them a call...

"Hello, Jiyan, are you still practicing?"

"No, I just had dinner and was watching the latest episode of Infinite Challenge with OPPA!" The little girl became much more reserved when she was with Li Shenglin...

"OPPA, I just passed an interview and got the role of the male lead!" Li Shenglin was a bit excited but tried to remain calm...

He was calm, but Park Jiyeon was not, "Really? What drama, which channel, what type?"

The little dinosaur asked a series of questions like a machine gun, her earlier reserve nowhere to be seen...

"KBS, a remake of 'Boys Over Flowers'!"

"Really? I love the Taiwanese version of 'Meteor Garden'! Is OPPA playing So Ji-tae? No, I have to go tell Unnie Eun-jung and the others..."

"Hello, hello?" Li Shenglin hung up with a bitter smile, she was still a crazy girl...

Next was Xiao Shuijing:

"Uncle, are you thinking of treating me to a meal?"

Li Shenglin's little bit of pride vanished... "Xiao Shuijing, didn't OPPA treat you just a few days ago..."

"People eat three meals a day!"

You win, Xiao Shuijing...

"OPPA, I'm going to act in a drama!"

"You're Uncle, Uncle, don't always call me OPPA! Weren't you always playing minor roles?"

"OPPA, no, this time Uncle is not a minor role, I'm the male lead!"

"Oh, the male lead... What? The male lead? Uncle, did you pay money, pay money, or pay money?"

Am I that bad? Li Shenglin found dealing with Xiao Shuijing more tiring than Park Jiyeon, "KBS 'Boys Over Flowers'!"

"Oh, I see, I'll help boost your ratings when it airs!"

...

After hanging up, Xiao Shuijing rolled around excitedly on the bed, Uncle, you're amazing!

Finally, there was Han Seongyeon:

He called... but no one answered...

Sigh, now that KARA has reformed and gained popularity, their schedule is very busy, sigh...

Brothers, I just made two calls, why are you all looking at me like that?

"Xiao Shuijing? Brother, I really admire you, another successful capture of a little girl!" Don't measure me with your 'pervert' mindset...

"Uncle?" "Right, Jisung, can you tell Sooyoung for me? I don't have her number!"

"Loli-con! The world is deteriorating, people's hearts are not what they used to be!" Speaking of which, Brother Luo, do you have the right to criticize me? You and that little Min-ya have an 18-year age gap...

Ah, I'm not a Loli-con, Xiao Shuijing and Xiao K恐龙 are just like little sisters...

...

In the KBS TV station's XXX meeting room, although it was said to be at eight, Li Shenglin, perhaps too excited, arrived at six. To his surprise, someone had arrived even earlier—it was the screenwriter, Ms. Yoon Ji-yeon!

"Hello, screenwriter, I'm Li Shenglin, thank you for choosing me!" Li Shenglin bowed respectfully...

Although he didn't know the process, Li Shenglin knew that without the screenwriter's approval, he wouldn't have gotten the role...

Since she chose Li Shenglin, Yoon Ji-yeon naturally found him more and more appealing, "I didn't expect you to come so early, Shenglin!"

"Hehe, not as early as you, screenwriter!"

Actually, it was because of Li Shenglin that Yoon Ji-yeon had new ideas for the character of Yoon Ji-ho. She had stayed up all night revising the script, as the time was tight and it was to air at the beginning of next year, "Shenglin, do you have time to chat with me?"

"Sure, what about?" Li Shenglin thought she wanted to discuss the role...

"Have you... " Yoon Ji-yeon carefully chose her words, "seen a psychologist?"

I'm fine, why would I see a psychologist? Li Shenglin shook his head, not understanding...

"Then how did your autism get better?"

"I have autism?" Li Shenglin was very confused. Even if he did, how would she know?

"Didn't you know? To be honest, I've known about you since 'Little Dimple.' I saw your gradual changes on screen and didn't notice anything unusual! But to adapt the script and make the character more vivid, I studied psychology, especially about autism...

You're clearly a young person, but you dress in a way that shows a lack of security, a resistance to everything around you, even to yourself. So you create a false mask, living from a detached perspective..."

Hearing this, Li Shenglin recalled his initial resistance when he first arrived, even denying his own existence and not fully integrating into life, feeling somewhat detached... It seemed he did have some autism back then...

"Can you tell me why you changed later?" Yoon Ji-yeon wanted to gather more information from Li Shenglin to enrich the character of Yoon Ji-ho...

Li Shenglin thought for a moment, "It should be the concern of my friends, and more importantly, my son helped me change..."

Yoon Ji-yeon scribbled on the paper, "Just as the books say, emotions are the key to unlocking the door of autism..."

Li Shenglin's mouth twitched, thinking, are you a psychology intern... and I'm your test subject?

They continued chatting about this topic for a while. Hearing footsteps outside, it seemed the conversation should end, "Shenglin, I wrote the character of Yoon Ji-ho as my younger brother, and now you are my younger brother!

As your Nuna, I want to tell you, no matter what the past was, we can only control the present and the future!

Remember to open your heart. Although you are already integrating into the present, I hope you can change more thoroughly, starting with this drama. Show the real you to everyone, you are Li Shenglin, don't let down the concern of your friends and family, understood?"

The chains in Li Shenglin's heart were gradually loosening, and he was gradually changing and adapting. Hearing Yoon Ji-yeon's words and thinking about the help of his family and friends, why should he still be mired in the past? He was happy, he had a son, a family, and friends, not just a nobody...

At this moment, Li Shenglin finally let go. To put it in a cliché way, from then on, Li Shenglin was truly Li Shenglin!
