Chapter 85

"Hmm~~~ It seems I still need to work harder!" Putting down his phone, Jin Yufan couldn't help but frown.

He had just checked the latest entertainment news in Korea online, especially news about the music industry. Although he did see some information about himself, it was very little, mostly just a brief mention.

Currently, the most attention in Korea is naturally focused on the stars who appeared on Mnet's "M!Countdown" music show the day before yesterday, as well as the other stars who gathered for the show.

Under this explosive and attention-grabbing news, even the news about actors with higher status in the film industry was almost overshadowed, let alone a newcomer like Jin Yufan.

Despite this, Jin Yufan was still able to find some news about himself online, even if it was just a brief mention, which was enough to satisfy him.

Unfortunately, Jin Yufan is not someone who is easily satisfied. Given that he was already a hot topic before his debut, the fact that he only received such a small reaction after officially debuting clearly left him very dissatisfied.

In addition to his dissatisfaction, Jin Yufan became even more determined. He must be stricter with himself. Isn't there a saying that a man should be tough on himself?

"Alright, kid, the food you ordered is here. It's not early, so finish eating and go home early!" At this moment, the owner had already brought over the food Jin Yufan had ordered and placed it on his table. Before leaving, he glanced at Jin Yufan, sighed, and said softly.

"Hmm~~~ What's going on?" Looking at the owner's departing back, thinking about what he had just said, Jin Yufan was completely puzzled, not knowing what was happening.

Fortunately, Jin Yufan's intelligence is not just for show. After a moment, he understood the reason, and after realizing it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The reason was simple: the owner clearly mistook him for a delinquent. In the end, out of kindness, he reminded him to go home early.

As a newly debuted celebrity, to be seen as a delinquent by the owner, Jin Yufan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But if Jin Yufan thought about it, who wouldn't see a fourteen-year-old child still out at this hour, eating at a street stall, and not think he was a delinquent? In Korean families, parents have absolute control over their children, and unless they are delinquents, children wouldn't be out at this time.

"Ah~~~ Forget it, delinquent or not, I need to eat first!" Although he was upset, knowing the owner's good intentions, Jin Yufan didn't say anything. The delicious food immediately made his stomach growl, and he didn't think about it further, focusing all his attention on the tasty food.

"Hmm, this rice cake is really good, hmm hmm hmm~~~ This fish roll is also very delicious!" As he savored the delicious food, Jin Yufan couldn't help but exclaim.

Now, Jin Yufan finally understood why street stalls are a major feature in Korea and are the preferred choice for gatherings among the general public.

"Swallow!" As Jin Yufan was enjoying his meal, he couldn't help but frown. From the moment he started eating, he had been hearing intermittent sounds of swallowing.

"Swallow!" Another sound of swallowing rang out. This time, Jin Yufan lost all appetite. Who could be so bored, swallowing like that? If you want to eat, just order it yourself.

Thinking about this, Jin Yufan couldn't help but look up, following the direction of the sound. However, when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because Jin Yufan discovered that the one swallowing was a six- or seven-year-old girl with a very cute and delicate appearance.

He looked around subconsciously but saw no one else. It was already late at night, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

"Whose little girl is this? Why isn't an adult with her? How can parents be so irresponsible?" Confirming that it was just the little girl standing a few meters away, looking at his food and swallowing, Jin Yufan couldn't help but scold inwardly.

How could parents let such a beautiful, cute, and delicate little girl be out alone on such a cold night and so late?

"This child has been on this street since around seven or eight in the evening. I don't know whose child she is. Her parents are really irresponsible."

Since Jin Yufan was the only customer, the bored owner occasionally observed him. When he saw Jin Yufan's actions, he naturally saw the little girl nearby and couldn't help but explain and scold.

"I feel sorry for this child and want to give her something to eat. But this girl is very cautious. She runs away whenever I get close. I offered her food, but she ignored me."

After saying this, the owner looked at the little girl with great affection. After all, such a cute and delicate little girl is absolutely lovable and pitiable.

"Then what about her parents?" Listening to the owner, Jin Yufan asked in confusion.

"I don't know. I haven't seen them all night. I guess she might have gotten separated from her parents. But I'm afraid her parents might be eating at a nearby street stall, and she just came over to play. So I didn't call the police."

At this point, the owner seemed to have made up his mind: "But seeing such a little girl out on the street on such a cold night, without her parents, I can't stand it. What if she meets a bad person? In any case, I've decided. If this child doesn't leave and her parents don't show up in a while, I'll call the police."

Jin Yufan nodded, agreeing with the owner. Clearly, in this situation, the owner's choice was completely correct.

Thinking about the little girl's sounds of swallowing, she seemed very hungry. Jin Yufan couldn't just ignore her and continue eating his late-night snack as if nothing was happening.

After some thought, Jin Yufan picked up a skewer of fish balls and waved it at the little girl: "Little girl, do you want to eat?"

Faced with Jin Yufan's question, the little girl was clearly very tempted. She swallowed again, her eyes showing a look of longing, but she didn't react, neither leaving nor approaching, and didn't speak.

"Forget it, this little girl is very cautious!" The owner, hearing Jin Yufan's words, couldn't help but shake his head. If she weren't so cautious, it wouldn't be your turn. I would have already given her all my food to eat her fill.

Jin Yufan ignored the owner's words and continued to wave the fish balls, while gesturing to the little girl with his other hand: "Are you very hungry? Come quickly, big brother will treat you to some delicious fish balls. Big brother tells you, these fish balls are best eaten hot. If they get cold, they won't be as tasty."

"Forget it, I'm not heartless. I've already said this child is very cautious and won't listen. Otherwise, I would have already let her eat her fill." Seeing Jin Yufan ignore his words and continue to tempt the little girl, the owner couldn't help but speak up.

However, before the owner finished speaking, he was suddenly silenced, as if his throat had been clamped shut.

Thus, in response to Jin Yufan's temptation, the little girl's delicate and small face showed a complex expression. After a moment of hesitation, caution, and longing, she finally took a step forward, slowly walking towards Jin Yufan.
