Chapter 531 Jinzhi’s Birthday Extra: Letter from August 21st (Part 2)
Thirteen-year-old Chen Jinzhi has completely adapted to the growing environment in a foreign country and has achieved very good results.
Because of this, more and more classmates gave her their homework during the summer vacation. Chen Jinzhi became more and more comfortable doing such things.
This afternoon, Chen Jinzhi finished copying an English vocabulary book. She doesn't reject this item very much because she can review the vocabulary by the way.
The aunt opened the door and walked in excitedly, looking in high spirits.
Chen Jinzhi didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so he first carefully packed away the homework books on the table.
Once before, her aunt made trouble for her and poured beer on her. She could only use the money from her part-time job to buy a new book to compensate her classmates.
"Jin Zhi, let's take a walk and tidy up. Auntie will take you somewhere!"
Auntie's eyes were shining and her tone was very gentle.
Although Chen Jinzhi had a gut feeling that it would not be a good thing, he had no choice but to do it.
After discovering that she could only wear four sets of school uniforms in spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round, Auntie looked a little surprised, as if she had noticed this for the first time.
So, she decided to take Chen Jinzhi to the mall to buy a new set of clothes.
It is said to be a shopping mall, but in fact they are all foreign trade goods sold at a discount, and the quality is very problematic.
But for Chen Jinzhi, it was still a bit dazzling. This was her first time shopping after coming to South Korea.
The aunt seemed very familiar with it, and took her to try on clothes, and finally bought a very popular dress.
After visiting the mall, the two came to McDonald's.
Chen Jinzhi is also here for the first time, but she is very observant and imitates the eating habits of the people next to her, so she does not show any timidity.
But she still didn't understand why her aunt seemed to be a different person today. Such confusion made her unable to taste the milkshake.
After thinking about it, Chen Jinzhi suddenly thought that today is August 21st. Could it be?
Although the possibility is slim, there seems to be no better explanation other than this.
Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and realized that half of the drink was strawberry-flavored milkshake.
However, the correct answer was soon revealed twenty minutes later.
Chen Jinzhi raised his head and looked at the bright sign of this building.
StarBoat Entertainment.
“After entering, no matter what others ask, you must smile and say ‘ok’, do you understand?”
The aunt held her wrist and reminded her seriously.
Chen Jinzhi looked at the people coming in and out of the building and nodded.
“Okay.”
At the age of fourteen, Chen Jinzhi resumed her life of running in both directions again. Unlike when she was a child, she seemed to be more comfortable running around this time.
The pressure of the company is no less than the pressure of completing his studies. After the final exam, Chen Jinzhi's tight strings relaxed a little.
However, I soon got involved in part-time work.
She has been able to find some summer jobs for teenagers this summer, such as convenience store employees or handing out flyers for stores.
In fact, there are times when I feel very tired, but as long as I grit my teeth and persevere, I will be fine.
Today I received a salary for distributing flyers. She is good-looking. Most people would not refuse a flyer handed over by such a pretty girl with a smile, so this store is happy to hire her.
In order to save fares, Chen Jinzhi was on his way home.
When passing by a stall selling crucian carp cakes, she hesitated slightly.
It seems that you need to find a reasonable reason for yourself to get crucian carp cakes as a reward. So, how about a birthday gift?
Chen Jinzhi stood at the intersection and thought for a while, but chose to turn around and leave.
If you think about it, you don’t need a birthday gift.
She stood under the street lamp closest to her home. The light bulb flickered on and off due to poor contact.
Chen Jinzhi raised his head and silently counted the flashing rhythm of the light bulb.
Happy birthday, live a good life. she said to herself.
On his fifteenth birthday, Chen Jinzhi received an invitation from his classmates.
"On August 21st, I have a birthday at my house, and there will be a party at my house. Can you come too?"
The classmate specially came to her house and said this.
Although she obviously had no ill intentions and had good intentions, Chen Jinzhi still planned to refuse.
It wasn't because it happened to be her birthday, it was just that she felt a little out of place on such an occasion.
But the aunt happened to witness this scene. After seeing the classmate’s luxury car, she simply accepted the invitation for her.
So Chen Jinzhi had no choice but to keep the appointment.
My classmate’s home is well decorated and magnificent, with colorful ribbons and balloons posted everywhere.
The birthday cake has fifteen layers, each layer decorated with different fruits and colorful chocolate beans.
The classmate stepped on the ladder and lit candles, and the celebrating relatives and friends gathered around, clapped their hands and sang:
“~~”
Wish you a happy birthday, my dear hapiness.
Chen Jinzhi stood in the corner where the candlelight could not reach, smiling and singing the entire song.
The second the candlelight went out, she thought, how good it is that she is loved by someone.
When the youthful age of sixteen comes, the girl loses her youthful temperament and is already so beautiful that it makes people look at her. When she walks in the company, she can often receive heartfelt praises from the staff. .
Chen Jinzhi still doesn't talk much, so he is labeled as "salt type" and "iceberg type".
Although her attitude towards everyone is gentle and friendly, most people cannot learn to make judgments after contact and just stick to stereotypes.
Such misunderstandings have actually caused Chen Jinzhi a lot of trouble.
For example, today, when she finished her dance training and opened her locker, she saw that the things inside were messed up and a lot of garbage was thrown away.
Chen Jinzhi cleaned up calmly and put the garbage into plastic bags and put it away.
When I walked out of the company, I also met a reporter for an interview.
Other trainees tend not to look down upon such reporters because they are not regular media and often ask extremely boring questions.
Chen Jinzhi is the only one who will not drive them away viciously, which also gives today's reporters a glimmer of hope.
Very good! I met this beautiful sister today!
"Can you please stay so that you can answer some of our questions? Please, no privacy will be involved!"
"Okay."
Chen Jinzhi thought for a while and stopped. Stepped down.
"Well, let me think about it. I saw you carrying a lot of convenience store garbage in your hands. Do you prefer fast food to canteens?"
the reporter asked.
“Ah, you said this.”
Chen Jinzhi smiled slightly, showed the garbage bag in his hand, and raised his chin to show the camera to look at the few people walking together on the other side. girl.
"This belongs to the red-haired Zhenxian over there. She misremembered the location of the garbage, so I helped her throw it away."
She said calmly.
When several people on the other side heard this, their faces turned red immediately, and they rushed over and snatched away the garbage in her hand.
The reporter didn’t understand what was going on. He scratched his head and wondered for a while before continuing to ask the next question. At the end of the interview, he handed over the small gift he had prepared today.
“Thank you for your support!!!”
“You’re welcome.”
Chen Jinzhi smiled slightly and took the gift box.
This looks like a souvenir commonly seen at banquets. It contains a small packet of nougat, a handkerchief, and a transparent plastic water cup.
Chen Jinzhi opened a piece of nougat and put it in his mouth, thinking of the jar containing fruit candies in his hometown.
Of course the candy has been eaten long ago, but my mother always insisted on keeping the jar, saying it was very commemorative.
Representing the official arrival of the age of seventeen, Chen Jinzhi’s cell phone kept vibrating in his pocket.
Certainly not a birthday wish.
You don’t need to read it to know that they are all disgusting insults and insults. There is no use in blocking them. They come one after another like catkins flying, and there is no way to avoid them.
Chen Jinzhi sat on the rooftop, looking at the bustling night view of the city.
Such a situation was expected by her, after all, the contract termination incident caused such a big commotion.
She is now in a lot of trouble and feels like she is the enemy of the whole world.
Many people are looking for her, wanting to question her about what she is thinking and whether there is something wrong with her brain. She dares to do such a thing on the eve of her debut. It is simply audacious and unforgivable.
But no one would have thought that she is actually on the rooftop of StarBoat Entertainment Company, dangling her legs to enjoy the wind.
Here you can see the towering Seoul Tower, with the moon hanging on the top of the tower, as if bordering the city.
Chen Jin read an interview a few days ago, titled: "How to spend the darkest moments in life?"
If you follow this statement, now is probably the darkest moment in life. The darkest hour, Chen Jinzhi thought.
Hopes dashed and burned.
But it’s not necessarily true. According to the law of her life, it’s ups and downs.
Thinking about it this way, maybe the darkest moment is still waiting for her behind.
So, what is the best way to face this situation?
Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and looked at the street downstairs.
The traffic is busy and the excitement is still there. The world will never change because of her inconspicuous task.
In this case
Unknowingly, she had stood up.
The wind was blowing very strong in the summer night, and her footsteps floated, just a little bit before she would fall like falling leaves.
It’s very simple, just a little courage.
Of course she does not lack such courage, so why does she hesitate?
I am not willing to give in.
Chen Jinzhi thought that there must be something else waiting for her ahead.
She lived with such difficulty not to live such a life.
So, no matter what, she was going to see the world of seventeen.
Eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
Chen Jinzhi’s life this year has been full of twists and turns.
Many incredible things happened. When she dreamed back at midnight, she would thank herself for changing her mind on the rooftop.
She returned to her hometown, took the art exam, and transferred to a key high school.
Then, I met Su Chengyi.
The change came so fast, as if another writer suddenly took over her script and wrote it to lead her life to another path.
Although her bad luck remained the same, the college entrance examination became another fork in the road.
However, the result is not bad.
Compared with those situations in the past, things are much better now.
This summer, Chen Jinzhi was in the intensive training camp of "Idol 101".
The pressure to debut, the suppression of capital, and the differential treatment by the program team are all things that outsiders can get a glimpse of. Of course Chen Jinzhi himself knows better.
But she didn't care, she just felt that she and Su Chengyi were too far apart.
In fact, she is far less calm than she seems on the surface, as if everything is planned. On the contrary, she has never felt safe.
When we are thousands of miles apart, every dazed moment is filled with overflowing thoughts.
Chen Jinzhi has always been the first to arrive and the last to leave in the practice room, but many fans are still willing to wait at the intersection just to say hello and shout to her.
Today is no exception.
Chen Jinzhi heard the shouts of fans from far away.
She bowed far away, knowing that the camera could capture the expression on her face, so she always kept smiling.
However, today seems a little different.
Chen Jinzhi saw a familiar figure in the crowd bending down to light the fuse. After a brief silence, fireworks filled the entire sky.
She knew someone was silently saying: Happy birthday at this moment.
Chen Jinzhi quietly watched the sky filled with fiery trees and silver flowers, and the night turned into day.
After many years, someone finally celebrated her coming into this world in such a grand way.
The past is dark and cannot be traced back, but the road to the future is bright and brilliant.
This year, Chen Jinzhi is nineteen years old.
The entry #HappyBirthdayIris topped the list of trending searches, and fans’ support was overwhelming.
This time, tens of millions of people celebrated her birthday, as if to fill in all the gaps missed in the previous years.
"The world is in chaos, I just hope that Jinzhi will be happy every day."
"Happy birthday to the star of the universe Iris! I look forward to everything you have and support you in everything!"
“Waiting for the day when you start your solo concert tour, the world belongs to Iris.”
Of course, someone who couldn't be absent bought a building for her to support her, and openly announced the words "IRISILOVEYOU" to the world.
She finally grew from that stubborn and lonely little girl to a big star that attracted much attention.
The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. On August 21, when she was nineteen, she finally saw the world she wanted to see when she was seventeen.
Chen Jinzhi thought that so many August 21sts were connected in series to form her entire life so far. Looking back now, it seems distant, but yet clear.
She sat in front of the desk and wrote a letter across dimensions.
"Dear readers who are reading this paragraph."
"As you can see, one text is enough to summarize my meager life. I live in words and in the framework of a limited world. .
However, because of the love of all my book friends, my life so far has been very, very perfect.”
“I hope you will have a happy and wonderful day in a more exciting and free real world. And I will always look forward to the next meeting with you in my world.”
< br>“This year’s birthday wish is a little greedy, so it will also be all my wishes in the future.”
"May Jinzhi and all of you be like flowers and leaves, and share the spring breeze together year after year."
