Chapter 69

"Brother, we did as you said. ←"

"Brother, we sprayed that sister all over."

"Brother, that sister ran away from us."

"Uncle, don't forget what you promised us."

"Uncle, buy us drinks."

"Uncle, you won't cheat children, will you?"

...

At night, in front of a small store next to the Yanjing Hotel, under a big tree.

A group of children, holding water guns high, surrounded Uncle Mai Xiaoyu, calling him "uncle" and "brother" non-stop, boasting about their victories and demanding that Mai Xiaoyu fulfill his promise.

Mai Xiaoyu, now the king of the kids, pointed to the small store beside him: "I saw everything, everyone did a great job. Now go inside and take whatever you want. Whatever you want to eat, just take it, and we'll settle the bill later."

"Oh!"

"I want chips!"

"I want spicy sticks!"

"I want sausages!"

"I want ice cream!"

"I want cola!"

"I want Ice Valley!"

The children shouted and rushed into the small store, almost scaring the shop owner to death.

When the children excitedly pointed at various snacks and cold drinks, demanding this and that, Mai Xiaoyu came in with his wallet, and the shop owner instantly came back to life.

More than a dozen children bought a large pile of snacks and drinks. The items looked like a lot, but they only cost a bit over two hundred yuan, much cheaper than hiring people to stand guard in society.

During this time, a small incident occurred. When buying drinks, a disagreement arose among the children.

"Boss, do you have any orange juice with pulp? I want it iced!"

The leading little boy, chewing on a sausage, took the iced orange juice from the boss and suddenly noticed a few "little brothers" looking at him strangely.

"What are you looking at? If you want to drink, just ask the boss. It doesn't cost you anything."

"Brother Wang Bin, why don't you drink Ice Valley?" a child asked.

"I like Jay Chou; he's my idol. Is Ice Valley good? I've never heard of it... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tsk—"

The "little brothers" looked at him with disdain, and Little Wang Bin felt embarrassed. Just as he was about to scold them to maintain his leadership, the children all raised their Ice Valley drinks.

"Ice Valley, shake before drinking!"

Their young voices were clear and整齐, repeating the advertising slogan over and over.

At the same time, they laughed and shook their drinks, swaying their bodies and exaggerating their hip movements to draw the attention of the other children.

"Boss, I don't want cola anymore, give me Ice Valley."

"Boss, me too, Ice Valley."

"Me too..."

Under the influence of those few children, more and more boys swapped their drinks for Ice Valley, surrounding Little Wang Bin, shaking their drinks, and swaying their hips, laughing and joking non-stop.

The scene was truly unbearable for Mai Xiaoyu to watch.

Little Wang Bin stared at them, holding back for a long time, and finally returned the orange juice to the boss: "Give me a bottle of Ice Valley too!"

"Sold out, that's the last one." The boss pointed to a little boy who was sniffing, regretting that he should have stocked more Ice Valley as its sales were getting better.

"Ah?"

Little Wang Bin was dumbfounded, almost on the verge of tears.

Mai Xiaoyu came to the rescue, taking out three coins: "Here, go buy it somewhere else."

"Brother, you're a good person. Next time you want us to spray someone, just one bottle of Ice Valley will do. Follow me, let's go buy Ice Valley!"

Little Wang Bin called out, leading a group of children off in a playful manner; the shop owner happily counted the money; Mai Xiaoyu strolled out of the store, only to be surprised by someone jumping out from behind the tree.

"I knew it was you!"

Jun Ji-hyun.

"You're pretty smart." Mai Xiaoyu complimented, bought two egg roll ice creams from the store, and gave one to Jun Ji-hyun, "Cool down a bit."

Jun Ji-hyun, eating the ice cream, said, "You're really a liar, even deceiving children."

"Hey, hey, hey, who was I doing it for?"

"Hmph, if you were standing up for me, why didn't you come out and slap her?"

Uh...

What a violent girl.

"Is that really a good thing to do?"

For Mai Xiaoyu, it didn't really matter whether it was good or bad, but for Jun Ji-hyun, it was definitely the worst option. Instead, buying the children and having them spray the blonde girl with water guns was the best solution.

Jun Ji-hyun understood, but she was just used to arguing with Mai Xiaoyu.

"Thanks this time. If you ever come to Korea, I'll treat you to barbecue. But why did you come to find me?"

"Can't I just pass by?"

"Do you want to die? How many times have you lied to me, and you still want to lie?"

Is that really her catchphrase now?

But... can you escape if I want to circle you?

Mai Xiaoyu was speechless, dryly laughed twice: "So, how did you know those kids were following my instructions?"

How did she know?

Women's intuition!

This answer was a bit ambiguous, so Jun Ji-hyun avoided the topic: "Hey, you still haven't said why you came to find me!"

Why did he come?

Isn't it because you're leaving tomorrow, and I need to make the most of the time?

Mai Xiaoyu went back to his car and brought a bag, from which he took out two boxes of Daoxiangcun pastries.

Holding the pastry boxes, Jun Ji-hyun's beautiful eyes sparkled with a smile, but her words were sharp.

"Only two boxes? Too stingy! After all, you're the first friend I made in China."

"Can you carry a hundred boxes? But since you consider me a friend, I'll give you another gift..."

Before Mai Xiaoyu could finish, Jun Ji-hyun snatched the bag from his hand.

Excitedly taking out the gift, Jun Ji-hyun was dumbfounded.

A wrinkled brown paper file.

"Hey, is this a gift?"

"No wonder Koreans love plastic surgery, you only care about the surface."

"Do you want to die? If I'm not satisfied with what's inside, you're dead!"

Finishing the remaining ice cream in a few bites, she put the pastry box aside and opened the brown paper file.

Uh, a stack of paper?

"My Sassy Girl?"

What is this guy up to?

Is he trying to pursue me?

Or is he calling me sassy?

No, this is... a script!

Jun Ji-hyun looked up, surprised at Mai Xiaoyu, who calmly said, "Aren't you an actress? I just wrote a script, see if you like it."

The two of them went to a nearby leisure square and sat on the steps by the musical fountain.

The square was brightly lit with neon lights. Under the bright lights, Jun Ji-hyun opened the script.

Hmm?

Is this the story he didn't finish that day?

The drawings on it are of me...

The drawings of me look...

The drawings of me are so beautiful...

The first half of the script, which she had heard Mai Xiaoyu tell, still left her room to ponder. But when she flipped to the second half, she was quickly drawn into the bittersweet, tearful, and joyful story.

At this moment, Mai Xiaoyu suddenly started singing softly in her ear:

"I believe, ...

I believe, ...

I believe, ...

..."
