Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Chapter 81 The Weight in My Heart (8k-word long chapter)

Does Su Xia mind?

Of course I mind.

Who would want to bring a third wheel on a date?

It was already tough having a light bulb sheep around, and now there's another light bulb sheep, Autumn.

But can Su Xia refuse?

No.

A man and a woman alone together is bound to make people overthink things. Even if he says he won't do anything, who will believe him?

It's understandable that Jin Qiutian came along because she was worried.

What can we do then?

SuXia: Sure, welcome.

Su Xia's heart was bleeding.

welcome?

What kind of welcome is this?!

Su Xia really wanted to transform into a demon from the underworld and strangle Huan Ying to death!

With things having come to this, Su Xia could only channel her grief and anger into motivation and throw herself wholeheartedly into her work.

Meanwhile, Liz and Kim Jong-il were also busy. As one of the most popular K-pop girl groups, IVE had one schedule after another every month.

In August, IVE will be participating in two music festivals, as well as an online concert in Seoul. In addition, there is a Longines pop-up store event. When Liz and Naoi Rei participated in the Longines pop-up event, Liz did not forget to ask Su Xia if she wanted a watch.

These pop-up store events usually give celebrities some of their own products, as a small perk.

Su Xia originally thought that it would be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal, but Kim Tae-yeon rejected that idea, saying that it would be better not to wear this brand of watch at all.

They completely forgot that they used to be Casio's spokesperson.

Because she had to take a week off to do an internship and training in Nanjing, all of Su Xia's schedule for August was concentrated in the first half of the month, leaving her extremely busy every day.

The work didn't finish until the 20th.

On the morning of August 21st, Su Xia boarded a bus bound for Nanjing.

In the car, which was borrowed from CJ Entertainment's Shanghai branch, Su Xia, wearing an eye mask, lay unconscious on her side in the back seat. Kim Tae-yeon sat on the seat beneath Su Xia, looking at the iPad hanging in front of her, which was playing a movie.

This time when they came to Nanjing, neither Lao Jin nor Xiao Li, the two assistants, came along; only Xiao Li came as the driver.

Once he arrives in Nanjing, he will take the high-speed train back. After the training ends, he will take the high-speed train back and drive Su Xia back to Nanjing.

Su Xia can drive; he's driven his mentor, Director Wang's Audi 6 quite a few times, but he's never driven a long distance before, nor does he want to.

Just before exiting the highway and entering NJ city, Su Xia finally regained consciousness.

I picked up my phone and saw more than a dozen unread messages.

First, open Kakao.

He has many friends on Kakao, but the only one he has ever messaged is Liz, and this time is no exception.

Chestnut: We're ready to head to Jakarta!

Chestnut: Have you arrived in Nanjing yet?

Chestnut: After the Jakarta concert, Qiutian and I will fly to China.

Chestnut: Hehe, I'll bring you some Jakarta specialties later~~

Su Xia shook her dazed head and sat up.

SuXia: Almost in Nanjing, have a safe trip.

Liz didn't reply, so she must have boarded the plane.

Su Xia exited Kakao and opened WeChat.

The first message I received was from Park Hee-min, whose message was pinned to the top of my chat list.

Park Hee-min: [Table]

Park Hee-min: Here is your schedule for next month. Please take a look when you have time.

Su Xia glanced at the message briefly and then logged off, before looking at the last message.

He just joined a large internship training group. Although he turned on Do Not Disturb, he still gets message notifications if someone mentions him.

Open the group chat.

2024 Fifth Batch of Trainee Lawyers Training Group (497)

Training manager Zhang Ye: @All members, please change your group nickname. After registering at the training base, you will be issued a room card with a training ID. The group nickname format is: Training ID + Name + Law Firm. Members who do not change their nicknames by 8:00 AM tomorrow will be removed from the group chat.

Below are various announcements and messages, and some talkative intern lawyers have already started chatting in the group.

As Su Xia flipped through the pages, her fingers suddenly stopped.

"I heard there's a popular lawyer among the participants in this training program."

Can intern lawyers become internet celebrities?

"You're not talking about Su Xia or Su Lu, are you?"

"That's him. I saw him when I was registering my information. Number 1 is him."

"Isn't number 1 a law firm from Nanjing? Isn't Su Xia from Xuzhou?"

"We only have this one internet celebrity lawyer in our group, so it's reasonable to give him number 1, right?"

"Who are you talking about? I've never heard of them before!"

"Then I'll say it this way and you'll understand. A borderline 'Little Ice Heart,' a cover girl group member, and a team of talented lawyers."

"I remember now, that male lawyer who won some kind of championship in Chengdu, the one who danced?"

"Yes, they're in the same internship training program as us."

"Don't recognize it? Can you provide a musical note link?"

"[QR code]"

"What?! Over three million followers?! What kind of lawyer is that?"

"So all my colleagues are like this? Mom, I want to go home."

'

Su Xia chuckled as he watched his colleagues chat in the group. He hadn't registered yet and was still using his online nickname, so no one recognized him except for the person in charge, Zhang Ye, who could easily spy on him. Not only did the conversation inevitably drift towards him, but they also chatted about him like this—

Su Xia's vanity was quite satisfied.

"Holy crap!!!" A female lawyer with an IU profile picture suddenly appeared.

"Su Xia is coming! I'm a K-pop fan, I definitely have to meet this big shot!"

"This might be the closest I've ever gotten to a big shot!"

Su Xia clicked on the person's profile picture. It was an intern lawyer at a law firm in Nanjing. There was no photo, and Su Xia's idea of ​​"spying" immediately failed.

"It's fun to peep, isn't it?" Kim Tae-yeon's voice rang leisurely in my ears.

Su Xia suddenly looked up and found Kim Tae-yeon staring at her with a smile.

Silently, I put on my Bluetooth headphones.

"Hey, aren't you watching the movie? What are you babbling about?"

Su Xia's sudden words made Xiao Li, who was driving, pause. He glanced at the rearview mirror, noticed that Su Xia was wearing earphones, and immediately looked away.

He had just thought the boss was talking to him.

"I've finished watching it? This is a different one," Kim Tae-yeon said, shaking her head. "You guys made a pretty good 'The Wandering Earth,' when is the third one coming out?"

"I want to know too."

The Wandering Earth series is arguably the best Chinese sci-fi film Su Xia has ever seen, and it ranks among the top sci-fi films Su Xia likes, even on a global scale.

Su Xia also wanted to know when "The Wandering Earth 3" would be released.

It's okay, I'll check it when I get back.

Kim Tae-yeon muttered to herself.

Her original timeline isn't 2024; I guess "The Wandering Earth 3" should have already been released, right?

The last time Kim Tae-yeon desperately wanted to go back was because she wanted to watch a movie?

Tsk.

"Boss, we've entered Nanjing." Xiao Li's voice came through after the ETC barrier lifted and we exited the highway.

"Let's go to the high-speed rail station. Once we get there, you can take the high-speed rail back, and I'll drive to the Municipal Administration Bureau."

"No need, I'll just take the subway," Xiao Li quickly refused.

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Xia glared at him, and Xiao Li had nothing to say but could only do as she said, though he was very grateful for Su Xia's "domineering" approach.

This was entirely convenient for him.

"Your boss is a good person, you can get along with him," Kim Tae-yeon teased cheerfully.

"Tch." Su Xia rolled her eyes. "I'm not some feudal slave owner."

"Then you're awesome!" Kim Tae-yeon gave him a thumbs up, as if coaxing a child.

Su Xia was speechless.

The train stopped at the nearest high-speed rail station, and Su Xia and Xiao Li switched seats.

When Su Xia was choosing this car, she thought it was an entry-level 5, but after getting it, she realized something was wrong. This was the top-of-the-line 40 Premium, the version that cost over 800,000 yuan.

Hey, you know what, even though Su Xia doesn't own a single car, look at how much he's evolved.

My dad's old Corolla has evolved, and Master Wang's new Audi A6L.

The six-child super evolution, the company's 5 enjoy 40.

If it evolves any further, won't it end up like the Palmyra Cayenne?

Hey, it's so great to get things for free without spending any money!

Following the navigation, I arrived at the provincial and municipal administration bureau. While registering at the entrance, I took a photo and sent it to Liz.

Still no reply, it seems they are indeed on the plane.

"This place is quite big." While Su Xia was registering the vehicle information, Kim Tae-yeon climbed out of the car and squatted on the hood to look at the provincial and municipal administration bureau.

After registering the vehicle information, Su Xia parked her car in one of the readily available parking spaces in the bureau.

Turn right after entering the building and you'll find the training base. On the first floor, where information is being registered, staff members occasionally steal glances at him, and some of the bolder ones even ask for photos with him, which Su Xia always obliges.

Actually, the trainees could choose not to stay overnight, but Su Xia was too lazy to go out and find a hotel, and had to get up early to come over, so she simply stayed here.

The classroom is right downstairs, how convenient!

"The accommodation is not bad." Su Xia commented on the room on the fifth floor. It was a twin room. Normally, two intern lawyers would share a standard room, but one person could also pay for two rooms.

He had thought the room's accommodations would be very basic, but it turned out to be fine, just like a normal chain hotel, such as Hanting or 7 Days Inn.

"You have female lawyers on both sides."

Kim Tae-yeon, who had just returned from a "visit," said cheerfully to Su Xia, who was packing her luggage.

"What does it have to do with me? I can't just walk through walls and spy like you do," Su Xia said, rolling her eyes.

"Hehe, if you bribe me, I can repeat it for you."

"Thank you, but this is illegal. I, as a lawyer, firmly oppose such behavior," Su Xia said righteously.

"Is that so?" Kim Tae-yeon chuckled lightly, not believing a word of it.

Ding dong.

The phone that was lying on the bed suddenly rang, and Su Xia quickly picked it up.

"I guess it's not chestnuts," Kim Tae-yeon hummed.

Su Xia's expectant expression froze.

It's really not.

He was mentioned in the group chat, and after registering and changing his ID, the other members of the group also noticed his appearance.

"@1+SuXia+HuanXia Law Firm, a master has arrived!!!"

"Where does this amazing person live? I'd love to meet them in person!"

"I want to take a photo with you~"

"I've never even met a celebrity before! I'm begging Su Lu to show his face!"

"Why are you all acting like K-pop fans? (Count me in!)"

"You guys are exaggerating! Is it really that serious? (Please pick me, expert!)"

"Wow, they're quite popular." Kim Tae-yeon had also noticed this and said jokingly.

"Yes, I'm Kim Tae-yeon's prized student!" Su Xia said in a flattering tone.

"Heh." Kim Tae-yeon looked at Su Xia with disdain. It seemed that her threat last time had really hit Su Xia's sore spot.

Su Xia acted as if she hadn't heard, smiling happily.

He was genuinely afraid that Kim Tae-yeon would use that killer move.

Su Xia arrived in Nanjing on the afternoon of the 21st, and classes officially started on the 22nd. The classes were divided into morning and afternoon sessions, from 8:00 to 11:00 in the morning and from 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon, every day without fail.

It was already the 22nd when Liz replied. Su Xia was in class at the time; his student number was 1, and he was sitting on the far left of the first row.

He listened to the lawyer on stage giving a lecture, resting his chin on his hand.

Those invited to give lectures are all leading figures in the legal profession in Jiangsu Province; they are either university professors or industry leaders specializing in a particular field.

The first morning's course was on the most widely applicable civil and commercial law. The instructor was also the director of the civil and commercial law department of the provincial bar association and a member of the National Legal Symposium.

A true industry leader.

Su Xia was listening to the lecture when her phone, which was lying face down on the table, vibrated.

He ignored it, but Kim Tae-yeon, who couldn't understand what they were saying at all, curiously leaned closer.

Although the phone was upside down on the table, Kim Tae-yeon, being intangible, was able to crouch down and pass right through the table to see the lit-up phone screen.

"Huh? It's news from Chestnut."

Upon hearing this, Su Xia calmly picked up her phone and checked the messages.

This kind of internship training course is different from that of university courses. University courses may have different requirements regarding whether or not students can use their phones during class, depending on the teacher's personality.

And here—

As long as you don't make any noise, you can do whatever you want. If you need to make a call, go outside to do it yourself. As long as you don't bother other people, no one will care.

After all, although the nearly 500 people present were all intern lawyers, not everyone was as free as Su Xia, who had no legal business at all.

Chestnut: I just got off the plane and am on my way to the hotel.

Chestnut: Have you arrived in Nanjing already? That's quite fast.

Chestnut: Is this your new car? BMW. The interior is quite nice. Will Qiutian and I ride in this car when we come over?

Chestnut: I'm already looking forward to it!

Seeing Liz's signature machine gun-like speech, a smile quietly appeared on Su Xia's face.

He raised his hand and patted the teacher lecturing on the stage.

SuXia: I've already started classes [photo]

SuXia: This teacher is amazing, she is ————

I sent over the impressive resume of the civil and commercial law professor.

Chestnut: Great fortune!

Chestnut: I won't bother you any longer. I'm sure you'll become a great lawyer someday! [Thumbs up.JPG]

You're giving me too much credit.

Su Xia knew her own family's affairs.

To become a top lawyer, one needs not only a solid foundation of legal knowledge and a strong network of contacts, but also the ability to maintain relationships with major clients.

Unfortunately, Su Xia didn't have any.

A solid foundation of legal knowledge takes time to develop; no young lawyer can easily handle all kinds of complex cases.

Su Xia now has some connections, but they're mostly not in the legal field. They're not useless, but they're not exactly powerful backers either.

As for the most important business capability—

An excellent lawyer is also an excellent salesperson, but with Su Xia's silver tongue, he's already doomed to be a salesperson.

He shook his head, suppressing these random thoughts, and put his phone down.

Listen to the lecture.

Since you've chosen to remain a lawyer, you still need to maintain the proper professional ethics. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if friends and family called to ask you questions and you didn't know the answers.

As time passed, the fellow intern lawyers who met Su Xia on the first day all rushed to take photos with her and add her as a friend, and Su Xia did not refuse and fulfilled their requests one by one.

During class, he was always the center of attention, and even at night, several attractive female lawyers hinted that he could come to Su Xia's room.

This completely baffled Su Xia and Kim Tae-yeon.

It seems that no industry is lacking in "ambitious" people.

After blocking the other party, I could continue attending class peacefully.

One day, two days, three days —

Over time, the lawyers who initially viewed Su Xia as a novelty gradually got used to her existence as an internet celebrity.

On the 25th, the day Su Xia had been looking forward to finally arrived as scheduled.

It was 10:50, almost time for get out of class to end.

Chestnut: [Photo]

Liz sent me a photo showing the high-speed train arriving at Nanjing Station.

Chestnut: We'll be at the station in thirteen minutes. Once we get there, we'll take the subway to the hotel. Can you pick us up from the hotel after class?

SuXia: I'm done with get out of class now. Nanjing Railway Station is only a ten-minute drive from here. I'll go directly to the high-speed rail station to pick you up.

Chestnut: Then we won't stand on ceremony with you. (。·▽·。)

SuXia: OK.

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. get out of class dismissed."

Swish.

Nearly five hundred people stood up in unison, taking their cards to check in.

The attendance system is quite simple: you have to clock in four times a day, once before and after class, and once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

If you forget to clock in (miss the day), you can ask the person in charge to make up the missed clock-in. As long as you clock in at least 80% of the time, you will be considered to have perfect attendance, which is quite humane.

However, there were only two time clocks, one in front of the other, and nearly 500 people were clocking in, making it very crowded. Fortunately, everyone was very well-behaved and lined up in order.

This is where Su Xia's advantage as an internet celebrity comes in; as soon as he arrives, everyone is very friendly and lets him check in first.

Su Xia was initially polite and declined, but later...

"Thank you."

Check-in complete, time to go!

Su Xia ran along with the car keys, so fast that Kim Tae-yeon, with her short legs, had to stop running and fly to keep up.

"Are you rushing to a blind date? Why are you running so fast?" Kim Tae-yeon said speechlessly as she caught up with Su Xia, who was jogging along.

"I guess so?" Su Xia said without turning her head.

You have to run to see someone you like.

Suddenly, this sentence popped into Kim Tae-yeon's mind.

"Hey, don't speed," Kim Tae-yeon cautioned. It's one thing for a person to drive fast, but don't let the car run on a full tank of gas too.

"Don't worry about that, I wouldn't go so far as to speed." As she spoke, Su Xia had already gotten into the driver's seat.

Among traditional luxury brands, Mercedes-Benz is synonymous with luxury, Audi with maturity and stability, and BMW with handling.

BMW's distinctive performance and handling have made it the top choice for countless young people.

The 5 under Su Xia's butt is an upgraded version known as the King of the Road.

The X5M is the true king of the road. Although this is not the M model, the high-powered top-of-the-line X5 can still conquer most road sections.

Su Xia's driving skills were excellent. She was talented and had driven for Director Wang quite a bit. After getting familiar with the car a little, she let loose and drove at the speed limit all the way, arriving at the pick-up point at Nanjing Station in just twelve minutes.

I took a picture of the arrival area at the station.

SuXia: I've arrived [photo]

SuXia: A black BMW 5 with a Shanghai license plate (沪A).

Chestnut: Received! [Salute]

"Why are you showing them Chinese license plates? They can't understand them anyway," Kim Tae-yeon said immediately, looking at the Chinese license plates on the screen.

"If you don't understand, you can compare them. Compare the characters to the license plate; you should be able to understand the graphic, right?"

"That makes sense." Kim Tae-yeon nodded in realization; that way, there was no problem.

Su Xia didn't have to wait long before Liz and Jin Qiutian came into view.

On the left, Jin Qiutian is wearing a dark gray loose V-neck short shirt. The fabric is soft and the style is relaxed and casual, following a simple Korean everyday style. As a personal outfit, it looks quite comfortable.

Her hair was styled in a half-updo, with wispy strands framing her face and highlighting the gentle, warm feeling of a virtuous wife and loving mother in the golden autumn. Overall, she exuded a clean and refreshing Korean style.

Liz, standing beside Jin Qiu, wore a loose brown casual jacket over a simple white undershirt, sporting a casual, personal style. Her long, silver-gray hair was naturally draped over her shoulders, its bright color drawing attention.

The makeup is slightly more refined than in autumn, with a touch of eyeliner added to the eyes, creating a sweet yet sophisticated everyday look.

Even strangers who don't know the two will often turn their heads when they see this duo.

Beautiful things always attract attention.

Su Xia gently pressed the horn, and Liz and Jin Qiutian looked over.

After the two approached, he got out of the car.

"Welcome to Nanjing." Su Xia smiled and extended her hands to take the suitcases from the two of them.

"Su Xia oppa!"

Liz's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Su Xia, and she called out sweetly.

"Attorney Su." Jin Qiutian and Su Xia weren't as familiar as Liz, so she bowed respectfully in greeting.

"You guys get in the car first, I'll put the luggage away."

"OK!"

"Thank you for your help."

After putting the suitcase in the trunk, Su Xia returned to the driver's seat.

"Shall we go to the hotel to drop off our luggage first, and then go to the restaurant I booked in advance for dinner?"

"No problem," Liz said with a smile. "Su Xia oppa, how was class?"

Jin Qiutian sat down in the back seat and looked around the car's interior. The drawers on both sides of the car were filled with tissues and wet wipes given away at the gas station, which made it seem quite homey.

There was no strange smell inside the car; instead, there was an indescribable fragrance, probably from the car air freshener.

"I learned a lot; the teacher really taught me valuable things."

Before coming here, Su Xia thought that this internship training was just a formality, with teachers reading PPTs and students slacking off, and everyone just getting through the week together.

But when I arrived, I found that it wasn't like that at all. The teachers were very dedicated to teaching their experience, and much of it wasn't just rote learning; it was experiential knowledge that could only be gained through practice.

"Then Qiu Tian and I will wander around by ourselves this afternoon, and we'll meet up after you finish class," Liz said.

"Sure," Su Xia replied. "I'll only be working these six hours a day. You can allocate the rest of your time as you like. You can send me your itinerary if you want to go anywhere."

"OK."

"Attorney Su, can a Korean driver's license be used in China?" Jin Qiutian asked when the two finished their conversation.

"No, you need to take a test to exchange your driver's license for a Chinese one. If you need a car, contact me, or take a taxi."

"I'll teach you how to download a ride-hailing app later. There's a risk of being overcharged if you just hail a taxi directly," Su Xia said to the two of them.

After several rounds of crackdowns, overcharging customers is no longer as common, but it's not entirely absent. Using ride-hailing apps can prevent this from happening.

"Yes, thank you, Attorney Su," Jin Qiutian said politely.

"Autumn, you don't need to be so polite. We've met a few times already, so we're practically friends. Relax and talk to me more easily," Su Xia said with a smile, glancing at the rearview mirror.

"Yes," Jin Qiutian replied, but whether she actually listened was something only she knew.

"Oh, right, Su Xia oppa, I brought you a lot of Jakarta specialties. I'll show them to you when we get to the hotel!" Liz said to Su Xia, hugging the headrest of the passenger seat with both arms.

"Okay, what do you have?"

"have----"

Jin Qiutian listened quietly to Su Xia and Liz's conversation. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the passenger seat and suddenly noticed that Su Xia's phone was on the phone holder hanging on the passenger seat, playing a short video.

This angle —

Jin Qiutian silently gestured, making sure that Su Xia couldn't see it.

Is this for Liz to see?

Jin Qiu glanced at Liz, who was telling Su Xia about her experience buying local specialties, and dismissed the idea.

Who is this for?

From this angle, unless someone is sitting in the passenger seat, no one can see it, right?

A question arose in Jin Qiutian's mind.

In the unseen world of autumn, Kim Tae-yeon rested her legs on the center console, comfortably leaning back in her chair, her eyes fixed on Su Xia's phone, which was automatically playing a video.

To prevent Kim Tae-yeon from causing trouble, Su Xia offered her own phone to Kim Tae-yeon in exchange for some peace and quiet.

Su Xia booked the Ritz-Carlton Nanjing for the two of them. It's a top-tier luxury hotel under the Marriott Group, located right next to Xinjiekou.

After parking the car in the hotel parking lot, Su Xia, Liz, and Jin Qiutian went to the lobby together.

Oh, and there's a soul too.

"Two executive suites booked online." Su Xia, her two companions, and one soul arrived at the front desk, followed by two concierges carrying Liz and Jin Qiutian's suitcases.

"One room is enough. Liz and I will stay together," Jin Qiutian suddenly said.

Su Xia looked at Jin Qiutian in surprise.

"Isn't that unnecessary? Wouldn't it be better for each person to have their own room?"

"No need to spend money, we can just live together," Jin Qiutian said, shaking her head.

Su Xia was quite moved. Jin Qiutian was such a good person, even thinking of saving him money.

Kim Tae-yeon immediately guessed what Su Xia was thinking when she saw his expression, and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

In her opinion, Jin Qiutian only chose to share a room because she was afraid that Su Xia would "attack" Liz at night.

"Then let's cancel one room."

"Okay." The receptionist didn't understand Korean, but since Su Xia said so, she canceled it on the spot.

"I see you've booked a foreign concierge service; are you a Korean guest?"

"Yes, these two." Su Xia nodded.

"Okay, the executive suite will be provided with a Korean translator on duty."

"Um."

After a quick registration, the three of them went to their room accompanied by a concierge.

After the concierge left the room, the three of them gathered in the living room.

"Su Xia oppa, come here!" Liz excitedly took off her coat, revealing a white undershirt underneath, sat cross-legged on the floor, and pulled over one of her two suitcases.

Seeing this, Su Xia also squatted down.

Jin Qiu glanced at it, then turned and went to the bedroom to pack her clothes. They would be staying here for three or four days, so she needed to put away her clothes, cosmetics, and skincare products.

"Clang! Clang!"

Once the box was opened, it revealed a dazzling array of local specialties.

"I'll blanch it!"

"Great!"

Kim Tae-yeon and Su Xia both exclaimed in surprise, except that Kim Tae-yeon was on top and Su Xia was on the bottom.

"Hehe." Liz was very pleased with Su Xia's amazement and happily pulled out a packet—uh, coffee?

"Mandheling coffee, Indonesia's national treasure coffee, teh tarik powder, the national tea drink. I don't know if you prefer coffee or tea, Su Xia oppa, so I'll just buy both." With that, Liz placed the two packets of drinks on the carpet.

"And then this." Liz took out a few more packages. "These are candies. I've forgotten what they're called, but they say they're a local traditional dessert and quite delicious. They can be eaten as a snack."

"This is a snack noodle, a bit like Chinese crispy noodles. There are many flavors. If you get hungry while filming, you can eat a small pack to tide you over."

"And there's more—"

One by one, Liz took out the local specialties she had brought for Su Xia, pointing to each package with her fingertips to explain which one was a pastry she had picked out at the market, which jar was a local specialty sauce, and which bag was a snack recommended by fans on Paopao. Her eyes crinkled into a sweet smile.

Looking at the subtle care in her eyes and listening to her soft Korean mixed with a few words of Indonesian, Su Xia was suddenly filled with emotion.

Picking up a package, my fingertips touched the souvenir bag that still carried the warmth of the journey, and I felt that this sentiment was more precious than anything else.

Is this what it feels like to be remembered?

As Su Xia watched Liz proudly telling her about the products, and seeing the smile on her face, Su Xia couldn't help but smile as well.

Liz opened a bag of snacks, handed a piece of candy to Su Xia, and said with bright eyes, "Try it, it tastes completely different from the candy in Seoul~"

Su Xia took the candy and watched her carefully counting the local specialties, then murmured softly, "It feels so good to be remembered and feel valued."

He thought Liz couldn't hear him, but they were only half a meter apart.

As soon as Su Xia finished speaking, Liz, who was counting local specialties, paused for a moment, then smiled and pushed another bag of local specialties toward him, her voice gentle.

"From now on, wherever I go, I'll bring you delicious food~"
