Chapter Nineteen
"Nuna, your home is so messy. Even so, you called me over instead of going out for a dinner party. Are you too worried?"
Standing in the entrance hall and looking at the messy room, Luo Junning looked depressed.
His original intention was to invite Song Ji Hyo out to gather and ask if he had any trouble. If allowed, he would not mind helping Song Ji Hyo. Even if this was a feeling of expiration after the release of "Frost Flower Shop", for Luo Junning, who only knew about this, this was the best situation he could do.
But Song Ji Hyo directly sent her address to Luo Junning, and then there was no news.
Luo Junning rushed over according to the address, but he saw a messy living room, with several empty wine bottles thrown on the floor. Although Song Ji-hyo dressed up a little, his obvious dark circles and listless spirit could not be concealed, which surprised Luo Junning even more.
In his impression, Song Ji Hyo was still stuck in his image when he was starring in "The Palace", cautious and persistent, but is this decadent young woman in front of him really the Song Ji Hyo he remembers?
"Sorry, I've been busy with movie promotions recently and I don't have time to organize my room." Song Ji Hyo forced a smile.
Luo Junning twitched the corner of his mouth, and did not tease the woman anymore. He also put down his identity as a guest and helped Song Ji-hyo sort out the living room. Although it was still very messy, it could at least be used to entertain guests.
"I just ordered takeaway, and I guess it will arrive soon. Let's eat at my house, don't go outside." Song Ji Hyo sat on the sofa, clearly feeling escaping, as if he was afraid to go outside. "I'm in a 'bid trend' now. If you go out with me and are photographed by reporters, you probably will be famous as well, and it's not a good reputation."
Luo Junning frowned and smiled and said, "Just as long as you are happy, Nuna."
"Um."
Song Ji-hyo really didn't have the awareness of perfunctory Luo Junning. The takeaway she ordered was quite rich, and most of them were Chinese dishes. I think she remembered Luo Junning's identity as a Chinese, but the few more cans of beer made Luo Junning frown even tighter.
"I have been sleeping very uncomfortable recently, but I have to cheer up when I need to run for publicity. I can't prescribe sleeping pills in my current state, right? Otherwise, the reporters outside may say that I can't stand the current 'momentum' and chose to commit suicide to escape, so I can only drink some alcohol. If I don't mind, let's drink some together." Song Ji Hyo smiled mockingly.
Luo Junning pressed the beer in Song Ji-hyo's hand and said helplessly: "This is not good for your health. If you have any grievances, you can tell me."
"With grievance? What can I have? You wouldn't think that someone forced me to act in this drama, right? Stop teasing, as I said in an interview, I just want to try to take the path of 'art films', just like the erotic and rudeness of your country, there are not so many messy things." Song Ji Hyo said with a smile, but this smile was quite ugly.
"Frost Flower Shop" can be used to promote the storm caused by "Extreme Anchor" and seems to have been successful because it really has enough arguments.
Not only is the profound depiction and discussion of the unethical homosexual plot in the play, but also the large-scale performance of Song Ji Hyo, who has always shown himself as a pure actress, has also caused endless storms in this relatively conservative country, and has even risen to the point of personal attack. Whether it is the crew of "Frost Flower Shop" or Song Ji Hyo himself, they all use "Lust and Caution" and art as their official arguments.
"If all you said is true, then you won't be able to drink to relieve your sorrows." Luo Junning said slowly, but his hands did not let go.
Song Ji Hyo's laughter slowly faded and eventually disappeared. He just stared at Luo Junning seriously. After a long time, he finally spoke and said in a memory tone: "Do you know, I didn't think about being an artist at the beginning, but was unexpectedly discovered by the agent when I accepted my senior's request to work as a temporary worker in a coffee shop."
"I thought it was very beautiful at that time, and I could enter the entertainment industry and become a popular idol that everyone pays attention to. At that time, the agent who was interested in me also described the entertainment industry to me, which allowed me to see too many beauty that belongs to the entertainment industry in advance. But after entering this circle, I realized that maybe his description was not wrong. There are too many beauty that are here, but it does not belong to me."
"Nine years ago, I made commercials and pictorials in the advertising circle. Eight years ago, I debuted on the cover of a magazine. Six years ago, I started acting in my first movie, a horror movie; five years ago, I acted in an action movie. Then I met you and acted in that movie, which is already well-known, but what about the rest? Three years ago, my role in "Jumong" won me nominated for the Best New Actress in the TV Department of the 43rd Baixiang Art Awards, and two years ago, I was nominated for the 44th Baixiang Art Awards Best Actor Film Department in "Sex is Empty 2", and then what about it?"
"The best time for a woman is really short. I entered this circle when I was 20 years old. Until now, I am 29 years old and still accomplish nothing."
"So, do you understand?"
Song Ji-hyo looked at Luo Junning with a smile.
Luo Junning was silent for a long time, and smiled helplessly: "Sorry, I'm thinking too much."
"It doesn't matter, it's actually good. I've always worn a mask to meet people. Now it's rare that there is another person I can treat with my true face. It's my luck. But you have also seen that the real me is not gentle, not cute, and even likes to drink, like to mess with my home to vent my emotions, and is even very rude. So, you should hate me now, right?" Song Ji Hyo seemed a little... happy?
Luo Junning shook his head and said, "Real people will never be annoying."
"Although it's disgusting to please people, it sounds pretty good." Song Ji-hyo was stunned for a moment and turned her head.
After this unhappy dinner, Luo Junning left Song Ji Hyo's house, and the smile on his face also disappeared the moment he went out.
