Chapter 627 "I'm Living Alone" And a Chance Encounter on the Street
Li Shaoxi's hometown is located in a village on the outskirts of Ulsan City. When driving in from the fork in the main road, you have to go around a few times and climb a small hill to reach the end.
After passing through the mountains, the first thing that comes into view is a valley.
It is said to be a valley area, but it is actually a small flat slope at most. There is a small village in the middle, built on the two small hills at the front and rear.
It's a little off, but the air is very fresh, especially the hill behind. Li Shaoxi said that if you climb over, you can see the sea in the distance. It's a good viewing spot.
The hut and yard of her family are a bit like the ones that were born in the family before. There is a small platform in the middle of the yard that is connected to the eaves, and then there are two or three houses in a row, with straw + tile roofs. It feels dated.
Looking at Lin Yi who came in after talking to Lin Yuner on the phone, Li Shaoxi immediately smiled and said, "Have you finished explaining to Yoona Ernie?"
"What do you mean by explanation? We are just chatting."
Lin Yi replied, and then gave a hand to the old lady next to him, pouring the radishes from the big plate in her arms into the big pot on the iron stand.
Next to her, Li Shaoxi curled her lips, "Ah, yes, yes, I don't know who told me to find the yacht surveillance after seeing the news early in the morning."
"Xiao Shaoxi, you've been very energetic recently. It seems you haven't had enough classes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi's threat followed closely. Li Shaoxi was so frightened that she quickly apologized, "Ah, don't say it anymore, don't say it, just don't say it."
The old lady looked at the quarrel between the two people, her cloudy eyes were full of kindness and satisfaction, then she turned and walked towards the corner with a hunched figure, and continued to prepare the meal for a while.
Looking at the back, it was not that Lin Yi who was standing there didn't want to help, but the old lady was rather stubborn and felt that the visitor was a guest, especially this noble granddaughter, so how could he be allowed to take action.
Even Li Shaoxi was driven over by her and asked her to spend more time with Lin Yi to stop boring him.
So now the two of them can only stand in front of the iron pot and warm themselves over the fire, helping out a little.
Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Shaoxi who was breathing heavily, "Xiao Shaoxi, you must have saved some money this year."
"Ah, a little bit."
She didn't understand why Lin Yi suddenly asked herself this, but Li Shaoxi nodded honestly. This year, she had indeed saved a large amount of private money with Lin Yi's increased salary and bonus.
"Why don't you redo this place for your grandma?"
Regarding Lin Yi's curiosity, Li Shaoxi now had something to say, "It's not that I don't want to, but grandma said that she is used to living in this small courtyard and is familiar with every corner, so she doesn't want to mess with it. So I can only make simple repairs." Declare the roof and walls, and buy some furniture and appliances.”
Faced with Li Shaoxi's explanation, Lin Yi could understand, "That's right. What the elderly want is that feeling. If it changes once after decades, they will probably be a little uncomfortable."
"That's right." Li Shaoxi nodded, "She told me to save some money so that I can buy a house in Seoul."
"You didn't tell her that the small apartment in Seoul was yours?" Lin Yi looked at her.
"I didn't say anything. I didn't want her to think too much. I gave her a house as a gift. Oppa, do you think everyone is as calm as you?"
Lin Yi, who was annoyed by Li Shaoxi, smiled slightly and said, "It's just the down payment. Now with your savings, you should be able to buy a real suite by yourself, not just an apartment. Do you have any plans?"
"If you don't want to buy it, that apartment is enough to live in, and it's also close to the company and the business district. It's very convenient."
Indeed, that one is said to be an apartment, but it actually has a normal layout of one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.
The space of dozens of square meters, plus a living balcony, is completely enough for Li Shaoxi to live alone.
And it's not like Taozi hasn't been together to rest during this period, so even if two people live there, it's more than enough.
"If necessary, you still have to buy it in advance."
Looking at the housing prices in Seoul from the perspective of a future person, although the price has dropped significantly during the mask period, it is only compared to previous years.
And if it’s a good location and a good building, you can definitely make a profit if you start now.
That's why Lin Yi said this, thinking that letting Li Shaoxi invest in real estate would make more money than leaving it in the bank and earning interest.
Although Li Shaoxi didn't understand real estate, she heard Lin Yi's tone, "oppa, you want me to buy a house?"
"I just think that you should have a better house in your future life, or if you have thoughts of falling in love or getting married. That apartment is fine for a transition period, but it's too stingy to live there for a long time."
Lin Yi, who didn't think much about it, just found a reason to block Li Shaoxi's inquiry, but unexpectedly encountered her explosive point.
I saw Li Shaoxi, who had been a little well-behaved just now, but her charming little face turned dark and cold after hearing what he said.
He shouted, "If I don't buy it, I don't plan to get married or fall in love in the future. Why do I want a good house? Oppa, my future dream is to be an independent and successful lady. Don't talk nonsense."
"Live your whole life alone."
Lin Yi, who obviously hadn't realized what he said wrong, was just a little surprised at this time.
Angry again, Li Shaoxi glared at her oppa fiercely, and said in an annoyed and depressed tone, "Is it not possible? Zhenli and I are alone, and she told me that she will be alone in the future, and will not get married or fall in love. And Hara Unnie is the same, she also said, hum."
While speaking, Li Shaoxi's eyes have never left Lin Yi, looking at each other's appearance, thinking about the appearance of the two when they first met.
And the memories of the two opening a studio together, the happiness when traveling, and the joy when working.
Bit by bit, bit by bit, finally formed a mist of tears that spread into her eyes.
Not wanting to be seen, she could only turn around and take a deep breath of the cold air to suppress her inner emotions.
Behind her, if Lin Yi didn't notice it because he didn't think much before, then he would be a fool if he couldn't see something wrong now.
But even after seeing the situation, he could only smack his lips and couldn't say anything.
In his opinion, Li Shaoxi is just a little girl, who was just a little moved by his previous behavior. This emotion will go away after a while, so silence is the best way to deal with it at this time, don't talk nonsense, and don't do anything rashly.
After this episode, Lin Yi spoke more seriously and no longer thoughtlessly.
After having lunch in this courtyard and climbing up the hill to admire the sea view in the distance, Lin Yi left here and returned to Ulsan City.
Li Shaoxi stayed to accompany her grandmother. She set out from the village the next morning and took Lin Yi to walk around the streets and alleys in Ulsan.
Then in the evening, they went straight to the club where the hot springs were located, had a good dinner, and soaked in the hot springs.

…
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.
The weather today is a bit cold, because it just rained a little late last night, making the air particularly cold.
On a street in Seoul, a group of staff wearing down jackets were holding cameras and following several figures, all with their lenses pointed at them.
"Ah, really, it's so cold, there's no one on the street, PD, how can you ask us to find someone to help pay for our meal?"
"That's right, and we ate so much barbecue, it's very expensive, how can we just let others pay for it."
"Jae-seok oppa, can we ask someone we know to help us?"
When Liu Jae-seok and Gary heard this, they immediately looked at the girl who just spoke, their eyes full of surprise, "Yes, PD just asked us to find someone to pay the bill, he didn't say we can't find someone we know."
The writer PD who was following them smiled, obviously allowing this rule, but when he saw Liu Jae-seok about to take out his mobile phone, he stopped him, "You can find someone you know, but you can't call or take a taxi, you can only walk like this."
When Taozi heard this, she was dumbfounded, "What, do you mean we have to walk to their side and then take them back to the restaurant where we ate to pay the bill?"
The writer PD smiled again, obviously this is the rule.
Now Yoo Jae-seok and Gary were a little annoyed. This was a bit embarrassing. They had to walk a distance to help you. It was too crazy.
But this was the rule of Peninsula variety shows. They were playing with the members, so even if they felt it was unreasonable and embarrassing, they had to bite the bullet and continue filming.
Then they counted their familiar friends in their minds to see which ones could play like this and were not far from here.
The three of them walked and talked, each talking about their own friends, and said where the other person might be at this time, and began to calculate the distance.
After walking for ten minutes, when they looked up, an extremely familiar back came into Taozi's eyes. Her face was instantly overjoyed, and she subconsciously shouted, "Ah, oppa~"
...
Half an hour ago
"What time is your flight? I'll pick you up."
"Arrive in the afternoon? That's perfect. Let's have dinner together then."
"Okay, see you later."
After finishing the call with Lin Yuner, who was working in Tokyo and preparing to come back in the afternoon, Lin Yi stood up from the soft sofa chair and stretched.
He had just returned from Ulsan the afternoon before yesterday, and had been staying in the e-sports room in Ham Eun-jung's apartment for two days.
He got up and left the e-sports room just after making an appointment with Lin Yuner. He went to the kitchen to warm up a bowl of stew for Ham Eun-jung, and then returned to the apartment upstairs.
He simply washed his face, put on a coat, and left the apartment again, ready to go out for food.
When he just drove to the door of the restaurant where he usually ate and opened the door to get out of the car, he heard a joyful shout, "Ah, oppa~"
Turning his head, looking at Taozi who was being photographed by the crowd, and Liu Zaishi and others beside her, he raised his eyebrows with a somewhat unexpected expression.
Seoul is really too small, everyone can bump into each other.
