After that, Zhang Chengyuan sent Cheng Youli back home, then called the other three elder sisters to inform them about the meeting with Cheng Youli and his father in the afternoon. He then went home to see his father, Zhang Donghu.
When Zhang Donghu saw him, he patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Chengyuan, you have good taste. I fully approve of this daughter-in-law. In the future, you must treat her well and never be fickle."
Zhang Chengyuan was slightly taken aback, but then nodded with a normal expression, "Yes, I will." However, he thought to himself, "I am devoted and affectionate to each of my elder sisters, so I shouldn't be considered fickle, right?"
On February 16th, the day of Yoo Juhyun and Cheng Youli's graduation, the two attended the graduation ceremony held by the Department of Theater at Kyung Hee University as graduates.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime important moment, and as their close younger brother, how could Zhang Chengyuan not want to witness it in person? When Cheng Youli and Yoo Juhyun performed in their graduation musical last month, Zhang Chengyuan was busy filming and far away in Namyang, so he couldn't make it, which left him deeply regretful. Now, with the filming of "Hojack Chunhyang" almost complete and the shooting schedule ahead of schedule, he had ample time. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan asked Director Jeon Gisang for a day off and rushed to Kyung Hee University to visit the two elder sisters.
When Zhang Chengyuan inquired his way to the venue where the Department of Theater's graduation ceremony was being held, he found that it was already surrounded by hundreds of media reporters. However, he was not surprised, as his two elder sisters had always been very popular. Moreover, he knew that other popular stars like Gong Yoo and Lee Sun-jeen were also graduating today. How could the entertainment media reporters not come to report on it?
Zhang Chengyuan glanced around and saw that Yoo Juhyun's parents and Cheng Youli's parents had already arrived and were gathered together, clearly there to witness their daughters' important graduation moment. Zhang Chengyuan quickly walked up to them and bowed respectfully. He did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent towards the parents of his four elder sisters, even showing more respect than to his own father, Zhang Donghu. This might be driven by the hidden guilt in his heart.
After greeting them, Zhang Chengyuan stood beside them somewhat awkwardly. The four elders had met Zhang Chengyuan several times before, and although the last meeting was two or three years ago, his handsome appearance and imposing figure left a deep impression on them. They also knew that Zhang Chengyuan was very close to Fin.K.L, so they were all very kind to him. The two female elders even praised his acting, saying that his performances in "The First Love of the Crown Prince" and "Hojack Chunhyang" were very impressive.
Zhang Chengyuan humbly thanked them for their praise, which made the four elders even more fond of him.
Soon after Zhang Chengyuan appeared, the media noticed him. This was not surprising, as the drama "Hojack Chunhyang," which he was currently starring in, had excellent ratings and audience reviews, and was highly popular. Therefore, the entertainment reporters present were all very familiar with him and could easily recognize him. Many reporters quickly surrounded him, wanting to interview him.
A reporter asked, "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, what brings you to Kyung Hee University today?"
Zhang Chengyuan replied calmly, "To see my two elder sisters, Yoo Juhyun and Cheng Youli." He generally didn't smile in front of the media.
"Can you tell us what your relationship is with Miss Yoo Juhyun and Miss Cheng Youli, and why you call them elder sisters?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "We have a very good senior-junior relationship." His tone remained calm, as he had no obligation to explain too much to the media. Anyone who followed his activities over the past year would know about his close relationship with Fin.K.L.
Another reporter asked, "I understand that Mr. Zhang Chengyuan is currently filming 'Hojack Chunhyang.' How did you manage to be here today?"
Zhang Chengyuan replied casually, "I took a day off from the director."
"So, you took a special leave from the production team to attend the graduation ceremony of Miss Yoo Juhyun and Miss Cheng Youli?"
"That's right."
"Can you tell us about the progress of 'Hojack Chunhyang' and what will happen in the future plot?"
...
As more reporters gathered, the questions began to deviate from the theme of the day. Zhang Chengyuan was no longer interested in answering and declared, "This is not a press conference for 'Hojack Chunhyang' or for me. I have said what I needed to say. Please don't ask me any more questions." After that, no matter how the reporters questioned him, he only replied with "No comment." The reporters, seeing that they couldn't get any more information, temporarily dispersed.
Not long after, Yoo Juhyun and Cheng Youli, wearing their graduation caps and gowns, came out of the building and walked towards their parents. Seeing Zhang Chengyuan, they were pleasantly surprised, as he had not mentioned coming to see them, and they had not invited him. Suppressing their excitement, the two women first hugged their respective parents, then lightly hugged Zhang Chengyuan. With many media reporters present, they did not dare to be too affectionate.
While hugging, Zhang Chengyuan said to Yoo Juhyun and Cheng Youli, "Congratulations, elder sisters. The graduation gowns suit you both!" Then, in a voice only the three of them could hear, he added, "Let's have a good time tonight." The two women blushed and quickly glared at him, then resumed their smiling faces.
The media then swarmed to interview Yoo Juhyun, Cheng Youli, and their parents, and of course, they did not miss the opportunity to interview Zhang Chengyuan. After saying a few appropriate words, Zhang Chengyuan again declined the interview, as he did not come here to steal the spotlight from his two elder sisters.
After dealing with the media, it was time to take graduation photos. Zhang Chengyuan accompanied the two sisters and their parents for a group photo. In one shot, Zhang Chengyuan had his arms around the shoulders of the two sisters, with the parents of both families standing on either side. Everyone was smiling happily. At that moment, Zhang Chengyuan thought, "If the parents of the sisters knew about our true relationship, I wonder if they could still smile so happily. And what would Cheng Youli's parents think if they knew that she had already met my father as a future daughter-in-law? They probably wouldn't be as happy as they are now."
An hour later, on the way to the restaurant to celebrate, in Zhang Chengyuan's car, Yoo Juhyun asked him, "Why did you suddenly come? Did you want to surprise us, or were you just missing us?" In the car, only he and the two sisters were present, so they spoke more freely.
"Yes, I did miss you, so I came to see you. But I was also afraid that Elder Sister Cheng Youli would scold me. Last month, I didn't go to see your graduation performance, and Elder Sister Cheng Youli sent me a text message blaming me. If I didn't come this time, I wonder what complaints she would have."
Cheng Youli huffed and said, "Such a small matter, and you still remember it. You really have no tolerance. Ouch!" Cheng Youli suddenly cried out.
Yoo Juhyun quickly hugged Cheng Youli and asked, "What's wrong, Youli?"
Zhang Chengyuan also asked anxiously, "Elder Sister Cheng Youli, are you okay?"
Cheng Youli said, "Sister Yoo Juhyun, you stepped on my heel."
Yoo Juhyun apologized, "Oh! I'm really sorry. I forgot that you were hurt by those crazy reporters earlier." Due to the large number of reporters at the graduation ceremony, one of them accidentally stepped on Cheng Youli's heel while following her.
Zhang Chengyuan immediately stopped the car, let Yoo Juhyun drive, and went to the back seat to check Cheng Youli's injury.
Yoo Juhyun asked, "Chengyuan, is Elder Sister Cheng Youli's injury serious?" Although she didn't think a single step would cause much harm, she was still concerned and asked Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan replied, "It's not serious, just a bit swollen. I'll help Elder Sister Cheng Youli to resolve the bruise and improve her circulation. She should be fully recovered after a night's rest."
After a while, Zhang Chengyuan finished treating Cheng Youli's injury, but he couldn't bear to let go of her slightly larger, warm foot. He pretended to still be treating her and continued to caress it.
At first, Cheng Youli was talking to Yoo Juhyun and didn't notice. When the car arrived at the destination and she was about to get out, she realized that Zhang Chengyuan was touching her foot with a look of enjoyment. She knew he had ulterior motives and immediately kicked him with her other foot, scolding, "You rascal, you're taking advantage of me again." She wasn't angry about being taken advantage of, but rather about his lack of propriety.
Zhang Chengyuan laughed awkwardly and said, "Elder Sister Cheng Youli, let me help you put on your socks and boots."
Yoo Juhyun smiled, thinking, "These two sometimes really act like a pair of children. They are indeed very suitable for each other."
