Chapter 1122: Although Escaping Is Shameful, when There Is No Escape...

After Zhang Pingan returned to the Lamian Apartment, he did not rush upstairs to his own home, but came to Li Zhien's home. Li Zhien has been working with Liu Xiyeol on the hosting of "Gayo Daejeon" recently, and has to discuss the interpretation of the role of "Li Zhian" with Liu Renna. Liu Renna has always been on the path of an actor, and she has at least gained a certain amount of "role" experience. So it is better for the two of them to read and understand together than for Li Zhien to think alone at home.

Zhang Pingan came to Seoul today, and he did not notify anyone. So during this busy period, Li Zhien must not be at home during the day, and Zhang Pingan didn't even know when she would go home.

Turning on the floor heating in the living room, Zhang Pingan sat on the sofa and looked at the traffic coming and going on the bridge outside the window. Although it was still two hours before dinner time, Zhang Pingan ordered takeout as soon as he got home. He ordered some Chinese cold dishes and pig's trotters. This time... Without drinking two taels of wine to strengthen his courage, Zhang Pingan would not dare to say it at all.

Zhang Pingan bought the wine at the convenience store downstairs in the community. Although there is no strong liquor like China, the mixture of beer and soju can still get you drunk quickly. Today, Zhang Pingan is not tasting the wine slowly, but wants to drink two glasses to build up courage for the courage to speak.

Maybe after waiting for half an hour, the doorbell of Li Zhien's house rang, and the management office downstairs asked if the takeaway was ordered by herself? Because the takeaway staff cannot enter the community, Zhang Pingan can only receive the takeaway in the lobby on the first floor. Sometimes the management of a building with too high standards will also have certain troubles, but for the privacy protection of the residents of the community as a whole, this is not bad.

At about five o'clock in the evening, the street lights in Seoul have been lit, and the sky outside has entered the night time. Zhang Pingan arranged his dinner and sat alone in Li Zhien's house and started eating, a mouthful of cold dishes and a mouthful of wine, but it didn't taste right when eating and drinking.

Zhang Pingan smiled and said the lines from Itaewon: "When you have something on your mind, the wine is bitter. When you are in a good mood, the wine is sweet."

In fact, for Zhang Pingan, at this time, he no longer had the mood to feel whether the 'wine' was bitter or sweet. His heart was in a mess, so he seemed absent-minded even when eating and drinking.

A slice of pig's trotter was put into his mouth, and the five-spice flavor of the marinade bloomed in his mouth, but the pig's trotter itself was a little light. He held the beer glass and looked at the 'golden' beer inside, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. The stimulation brought by the iced beer made him frown.

Zhang Pingan looked at the outdoor neon lights and said inexplicably: "It's snowing in Hokkaido at this time, right? I really want to go to Hokkaido."

Some time ago, Zhang Pingan didn't like to eat and drink alone, because he was a person who was very afraid of loneliness. Every time he ate, he always thought about finding one or two people to accompany him, eating and chatting, so that the dinner would be interesting. But today, Zhang Pingan inexplicably wanted to drink alone, and inexplicably said something about going to Hokkaido..

I don’t know if it’s because Hokkaido is in winter,

When it snows heavily, there is always a sense of loneliness, so he said this sentence by accident? If you go to Hokkaido alone in winter, the loneliness will be even stronger. Maybe there are countless beautiful scenery attracting you during the day, but when it snows at night, the emptiness surrounded by loneliness will hit you completely.

People, sometimes they are so inexplicable, even Zhang Pingan himself can’t explain why. Now I have a desire to escape.

Zhang Pingan took the wine glass and poured half of the soju and half of the beer into a glass. He raised his glass to the neon lights outside and said: "Escape is shameful, but it is very useful? Is it true? Hahaha~~"

Somewhat speechless, but can't help laughing. Because Zhang Pingan had nowhere to escape, if he chose to "escape" at this time, then the rest...

Zhang Pingan took out his phone and called. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Until the sound of "no answer" appeared, Zhang Pingan called again. The phone rang for a long time before the other side answered. Pani's sleepy voice appeared: "What are you doing? It's only five o'clock in the morning here! My sister is still resting next to me."

Pani had already gone to New York at this time. She was going to spend Christmas with her sister this year. Her sister rented a house in New York, and there was no guest bedroom. So the two sisters were squeezed on the same bed at this time, and Zhang Pingan's phone call disturbed the two sisters' sweet dreams.

Zhang Pingan apologized and said: "Uh...I didn't know you went to New York. I disturbed your rest. It's okay...I just wanted to call you."

Hearing Zhang Pingan's voice was so low, Pani said; "Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll call you later."

Because Pani and her sister were lying on the bed together, she couldn't affect her sister's rest and talk on the phone on the bed. Pani said she would call Zhang Pingan in a few minutes, but she was actually planning to get up and go to the bathroom to talk to him, so as not to disturb her sister's rest.

After hanging up the phone with Pani, Zhang Pingan poured himself another glass of wine, and after drinking a glass of wine, he took a bite of food. At this time, Pani called, and he looked at Pani's call and forced a smile: "Did I disturb your rest?"

Pani said in a hoarse voice: "Just you know. Christmas is coming, buy me a bag, and I will forgive you."

"Why buy one? I usually buy ten."

Listening to Zhang Ping'an's words, Pani said depressedly: "Okay, okay, tell me, what happened that made you so depressed?"

"Nothing happened, I just missed you. Without you... I don't know who to talk to. Pani..."

Zhang Ping'an called her just to say he missed her? Pani didn't believe it. And she could hear Zhang Ping'an's tone of pretending to be strong on the phone. She said: "You are exactly the same stubborn as Taeyeon! You like to hide all the sad things. You have to remember that we will be a family in the future. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Zhang Ping'an really couldn't find anyone to tell about such things. He couldn't call his mother, right? So the only person he could talk to... seemed to be Pani. But after telling her about his discomfort and worries... it might make Pani unhappy, right? So he called Pani just to hear her voice.

"Tiffany, I..."

"What are you talking about? Why are you so hesitant? Uh..." Tiffany listened to Zhang Ping'an's shyness on the phone. This was not his usual style. The only thing that could make him behave like this... seemed to be that one thing. Zhang Ping'an told her last time in Los Angeles that he would marry Yui Aragaki after the New Year, and isn't the New Year coming soon?

So, after saying a few words, Tiffany guessed why Zhang Ping'an was so depressed at this time. So after Tiffany said "uh" to indicate that she guessed something, the phone fell into a brief silence.

Zhang Pingan said, "Is it cold in New York? It should be very cold. Remember to wear two more layers of clothes."

Hanni responded, "I'm not a child. If I'm cold, don't I know to wear a down jacket? Where are you?"

"Seoul."

When Zhang Pingan said that he was in Seoul, Hanni concluded why Zhang Pingan went to Seoul at this time. She could only say, "I know. Did you see Taeyeon?"

In fact, Hanni's words also contained a question. What did Taeyeon say?

"I haven't seen Taeyeon yet. She doesn't know I'm in Seoul."

When Hanni heard that Zhang Pingan hadn't seen Taeyeon yet, Hanni said, "Oh? So, you're in Lamian? She's not at home? It's also... so busy at the end of the year."

The 'she' in Hanni's mouth naturally refers to Lee Ji-eun. After all, Hanni knew that Lee Ji-eun lived in Lamian Apartment.

Zhang Pingan responded: "I'm busy on Christmas. The Gayo Battle is also on Christmas, and Taeyeon is also preparing to hold a Christmas concert."

"Well, I talked to Taeyeon some time ago." Tiffany didn't know what to say to Zhang Pingan at this time. Should she cheer him up? Or something else...

She didn't want to talk about Zhang Pingan, Lee Ji-eun, and Kim Taeyeon in her heart. She didn't even want to hear about the problems between the three of them, so Tiffany tried her best to change the subject on the phone. She couldn't possibly give Zhang Pingan advice on how to deal with Taeyeon or Lee Ji-eun, right? And this matter was not something that could be settled by a trick.

Zhang Pingan naturally heard that Tiffany didn't want to talk too much, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I won't disturb your rest."

After saying this, Zhang Pingan held the phone in silence, waiting for Tiffany to hang up. And Tiffany on the other end of the phone was also holding the phone and waiting for Zhang Pingan to hang up. But the two of them just kept holding the phone without saying anything. After a few seconds of silence, Pani finally said, "I don't know what to say, and I can't give you any advice. If you can make them feel sincere... maybe the result will be different."

"Thank you, Pani."

"Hang up." After saying this, Pani really hung up the phone. She had to be very determined to say those words of encouragement to Zhang Pingan... let's call them "encouragement". After all, it was ironic for her to say such words.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Pingan suddenly felt a sour nose. It turned out that he really owed Pani too much, even...

Took a gulp of wine and drank it...

Bitter.

It turns out that wine is really bitter!

Zhang Pingan, who rarely shed tears on weekdays, couldn't help but shed tears after hearing Pani's words.

Is there anything more bitter than wine? ..
