Chapter 238: The Love That Is Implicitly Conveyed

Up to six hours of part-time work.

The most pleasant moment is when you get paid after working hard.

The production team didn't really mean to "abuse" them and eventually provided them with accommodation.

The four of them stayed in a hot spring hotel. The Japanese tatami room had a unique flavor.

Jiang Zhaohuan had no intention of taking a hot spring bath. He really didn't like taking a bath with others.

So after taking a shower in the bathroom of the room and filming the shots needed for the show, I covered the fixed camera with a black cloth.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to my bed or because of the bottle of coffee and milk after taking a bath.

Jiang Zhaohuan felt the feeling of insomnia for the first time in a long time. He glanced at Gong Liu and Lee Dong Wook who were sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but sigh that the sleep quality of middle-aged people was better than his.

He tiptoed out of the room and prepared to sit in the courtyard for a while.

The night breeze might make you feel sleepy.

Jiang Zhaohuan walked outside wrapped in a blanket. The temperature at night was still relatively low.

He put one hand in his trouser pocket and sat down on the wooden floor next to the courtyard, holding a Coca-Cola that he bought from the vending machine on the way.

It's quiet all around, and there's a feeling of slow life.

Jiang Zhaohuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket.

Little did he know that footsteps were heard not long after. He turned his head and looked with a hint of surprise.

He didn't expect that she was still awake at this time.

Bae Joo-hyun, who came out wrapped in a blanket, didn't expect that there was already someone in the courtyard.

When she came closer, he realized that it was the person he wanted to see.

Jiang Zhaohuan raised the Coca-Cola he hadn't drunk yet and asked with a smile:

"Want something to drink?"

"I have."

Pei Zhuxuan took out the sugar-free cola hidden in the blanket, smiled and sat cross-legged next to him, her voice was very soft,
"Why are you here? Can't sleep?"

"Well, I had a cup of coffee and milk before bed."

"You shouldn't drink it."

Jiang Zhaohuan heard this, but did not agree.

If I hadn't drunk, I wouldn't have been able to meet you here.

I suffer from insomnia, it would be nice to have her by my side.

Jiang Zhaohuan supported himself on the floor with his hands and looked up at the sporadic lights in the night sky.

There are not as many stars in winter as in summer.

But it's still very clear.

Jiang Zhaohuan recalled the magazine interview he saw some time ago, and turned his head to look at Bae Zhuxuan who was holding a sugar-free cola beside him but was not in a hurry to drink it.

He opened the pull ring of Coca-Cola with one hand, put it to his lips, and asked:
"Irene, I remember you like the sky very much, right?"

"Yes, just looking at the sky will calm you down."

"Should we go to another place? The night view of Hakodate is still very good."

Bae Joo-hyun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

The two returned to the room and put on long black down jackets, hats, and scarves, which successfully concealed their appearance.

Even if fans came, they wouldn't be able to recognize who they were.

At this time, it is no longer possible to take the cable car to Mt. Hakodate to enjoy the million-dollar night view.

But the seaside in Hakodate is just as beautiful.

Climb up the slope and follow the path lit by dim street lights to the beach of Hakodate.

This place is not as popular as Hachimanzaka and Mount Hakodate.

There is no one here at night.

Jiang Zhaohuan took out a blanket hidden in his large down jacket and spread it on the beach.

He sat on it, patted the seat next to him, and said with a smile:
"Press it down with your body weight, or the wind will blow it up."

"It's hard to clean up if it gets sand on it, right?"

Jiang Zhaohuan shrugged his shoulders casually and joked nonchalantly:

"It's okay. I didn't buy any local specialties here. It's good to bring some sand back."

Bae Joo-hyun actually has a pretty high sense of humor, but she is always amused by Kang Do-hwan, who is not funny at all.

She smiled and sat a little further away so that the blanket would not be blown away by the sea breeze.

This is indeed a very good place, a place suitable for artists.

No one will disturb you, so you can enjoy the quietness.

The sea at night is full of mystery, with rolling waves beating against the soft sand.

Bae Joo-hyun took off the rubber band on her wrist and tied her hair, which was messed up by the sea breeze, into a ponytail.

She turned her head to look at Zhao Huan beside her and suddenly said:

"Do-hwan, do you have headphones?"

"No, you want to listen to music?"

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, but she wasn't wearing headphones either.

She doesn't really like the music played on her cell phone.

Maybe it's because she has 99% trust in the people around her. Bae Joo Hyun leaned back and lay directly on the blanket. Sometimes she envied tall people.

But being short does have some advantages in a small space.

Just curl up a little and you can easily lie on the blanket.

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that she was in such a relaxed state.

He stared at Pei Zhuxuan who closed her eyes for a while, and said inexplicably:
"How about I sing a song?"

At this moment, Jiang Zhaohuan could hear his own heartbeat.

He asked this question out of selfish motives, and the selfish motive came from the song he wanted to sing.

There is no way to directly convey my love for her.

At least it can be expressed implicitly through songs.

Pei Zhuxuan opened her eyes, surprised, and responded with a smile:

"……OK."

"You probably haven't heard this song. It was just released a short time ago."

"Yes, I will listen carefully."

Jiang Zhaohuan regretted not bringing a guitar with him.

If there were musical instruments, the atmosphere would probably be better.

He closed his eyes and recalled the melody, took a deep breath, and then sang slowly:

“When can I hide my loneliness in my eyes/and not meet your gaze?

When can I keep my sorrow within my mouth/and not expose it.”

There was a slight tremor in her voice that was barely noticeable, and she was indeed more nervous than on her debut stage.

I deliberately chose a Japanese song to prevent her from understanding the meaning of the lyrics.

“I can even feel your body temperature in my beating pulse.”

This is the song I want to sing to you, but I don’t want you to understand it now.

But he didn't notice that the person next to him secretly opened his eyes.

"Like/romance/love/these hold my heart firmly."

Even if Bae Joo-hyun has never heard this song, she can still remember the melody very well.

Moreover, I had studied Japanese when I was a trainee and knew quite a lot of vocabulary.

Like. Love. Love.

How could she not understand such words?

She tightened her hands on her chest slightly, trying to slow down her heartbeat.

"As long as you smile, the world will be filled with tears."

If it was because of drunkenness last time, then what was it because of this time?

A momentary impulse, an implicit transmission?

"While saying how beautiful it is/my own life/it seems like I am celebrating everything in this world."

Unlike the memories that were mixed with the smell of alcohol, this time... it felt like carbonated soda.

Just like the carbonated soda that gushes out when you shake it and then pull the tab in one go.

Bae Joo-hyun sat up and looked up at the starry sky.

The sugar-free cola next to him was still intact.

Calmly, leisurely, peacefully.

Reason prevented her from pulling the ring; now was not the time to experience the bubbling.

Kang Do Hwan, who didn't finish singing the whole song, turned to look at Bae Joo Hyun and smiled, wanting to ask for her evaluation.

Pei Zhuxuan met his expectant gaze, smiled and nodded:
"It sounds great. If you can dance as well as you sing, you'll definitely be the next Rain."

Jiang Zhaohuan smiled shyly and said a little embarrassedly:

"As for dancing, I'm afraid there's no way."

"No one can be perfect. You are already very good."

Bae Joo-hyun did not hold back on her praise, and what she said was all true.

She glanced at the time on her watch and whispered,

"Let's go back. I'm a little sleepy."

"Inside."

Jiang Zhaohuan carefully wrapped the side stained with sand inside.

When I stood up, I noticed Pei Zhuxuan holding a can of Coke, and asked curiously:
"Huh? You didn't drink?"

Bae Joo-hyun paused for a moment and rubbed the intact pull ring with her fingertips.

She put the sugar-free cola into her down jacket pocket and said calmly:
"There's no trash can here, so you should drink it tomorrow."

Next time if possible.

She wanted to be greedy and add one more piece of ice.
