Chapter 51: What is Aubrey's Dream?

  Back in the room, Tang Menglong, with Li Zhi'en's help, managed to squeeze into bed, looking like a weak young man. Li Zhi'en sat on the edge of the bed, asking curiously: "How did you get sick, oppa?"

  Tang Menglong looked at Li Zhi'en's worried eyes, of course, he couldn't tell the truth, so he just dryly laughed and said: "Haha, maybe it was because I slept in the living room last night and caught a chill!"

  Li Zhi'en tilted her head and thought for a moment, feeling that something was off. After all, it's midsummer now.

  "Zhi En, did you bring the lyrics? Let me take a look!" Tang Meng Long looked at Li Zhi En's serious thinking face and immediately changed the subject. As an iron-blooded hard man, if his younger sister found out about the true situation, it would be... too embarrassing.

  Li Zhen heard Tang Menglong's question and indeed shifted his attention, then with some expectation, he took out the lyrics he had translated from his small backpack and handed them to Tang Menglong.

  "Oppa, this is my first time doing this, the translation isn't good, don't be angry!" Li Zhi En looked at Tang Meng Long with a serious expression and said somewhat uncertainly.

  Tang Menglong leaned against the headboard, looking at the lyrics on the small notebook and laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Oppa be angry? I'm the one who asked for your help, it seems like you don't have a reason to be angry!"

  Li Zhen smiled and stuck out her tongue, then looked at Tang Menglong with some expectation.

  Tang Menglong, on the other hand, stared for a long time, of course not to think deeply about anything, but his Korean level had not yet reached the point where he could read ten lines at a glance.

  So Tang Menglong watched and asked, humming a few lines, and finally nodded: "Not bad, the lyrics haven't changed much, just some small places are still a bit awkward, but it's okay, with a little coordination in playing, our Zhi En is really great!"

  When Tang Menglong praised him, Li Zhen showed a happy smile, and with some embarrassment, he touched his hair, then suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, did Oppa win yesterday's game?"

  Tang Menglong nodded, with a proud expression: "Of course, the PD of that popular song show even specially called Euba and said that as long as I'm willing, after yesterday's recording is broadcast, I can participate in the popular song show at any time. Moreover, the stage design and entry timing are all up to me to decide!"

  Lee Ji-eun was a bit envious, but still said with great excitement: "Oppa is really amazing, so I can also go on stage now!"

  "Ah, damn it!"

  The response was Tang Menglong's sneeze, and Li Zhen quickly got up and pressed Tang Menglong into the quilt. At this moment, the identities of brother and sister seemed to be reversed, becoming sister and younger brother. However, Li Zhen's next sentence made this feeling disappear.

  "Hubby, I don't know how to cook, want me to go buy some instant noodles and boil them for you?"

  ······

  Tang Menglong smiled and said, "Why don't you play the guitar instead? Let's see how well you've practiced your songs. Also, sing two more songs for Ouba to appreciate Zhi En's singing skills."

  Li Zhen pouted and blushed slightly as she picked up the guitar and began to play in front of Tang Menglong.

  ………

  There are many parks along the Han River in Seoul, and most of them are free. At this moment, a girl in red is sitting on the long stairs by the river in Seoul's No. 2 Citizen Park, gazing out at the river with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

  The world now and everything in her memory are completely different, whether it's people or things have changed, but the only thing that hasn't changed is those legends.

  The girl put her right elbow on her thigh, propped up her head with her palm, and stared blankly at the river, unsure of what to think next.

  "The restaurant owner said that one must work to survive, should I go find a job?"

  The auntie at the restaurant said, "Many bad people in Seoul seem to be real!"

  "The restaurant owner said that men who are nice to you for no reason are all bad guys, but it seems like nobody is being nice to me!"

  "I miss the auntie from the restaurant..."

  The girl pouted and muttered to herself, but when she got to this point, she suddenly clapped her cheeks with both hands and said excitedly: "No way, Tail Fox! You can't give up, everything has just begun... But why don't they let people sleep in the little house without that thing certificate?"

  A gentle breeze blew from the riverbank, and the girl sat up with some curls, now her mind was all about that thing called ID card.

  "Why don't we go steal one?"

  …………

  In Tang Menglong's home, the last two people still ate instant noodles.

  But Tang Menglong has already become shameless to the extreme, lying on the bed and pretending to be extremely weak. At this moment, the petite Li Zhi'en is sitting on the edge of the bed with instant noodles, serving this guy.

  "Hoo-hoo!"

  "Ah!"

  Tang Menglong's face was beaming with joy, his mouth wide open as he accepted Li Zhi'en's feeding. No wonder people say that this world has many sister complexes - it seems that having a considerate younger sister really does bring out the desire to dote on her.

  However, after taking a look at the sky outside, Tang Menglong spoke up: "Alright, you eat too. Once you're done, Brother Ou will send you downstairs to catch your bus!"

  Lee Ji-eun nodded obediently, but still asked, "Oppa, you sing so well, why don't you become a singer?"

  Tang Menglong rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, as long as you can sing, it's fine. What's the point of being a singer? Besides, even if I wanted to be a singer, I wouldn't do it in Korea. The seniority system there is so annoying. But for you, Zhi En, if you debut and someone dares to bully you, just let Oppa know, Oppa will definitely help you deal with those people!"

  "It's not as scary as what Eobba said, is it? As long as we do what we're supposed to do, it'll be fine!" Ji-eun said with a bit of naivety.

  Tang Menglong shrugged and didn't comment, although he also acknowledged that Korea's star-making ability was indeed very strong, but only in terms of domestic talent. It was just too industrialized, with artists being treated like ordinary professionals. Anyway, Tang Menglong had heard from those TV station guys that many seemingly popular artists were actually being exploited by their management companies, and some even struggled to get meat to eat.

  Poor kids, Tang Menglong thought that in the future, he should leave some free tea eggs for these poor kids, of course, only limited to girls. As for boys, just braised water and tea leaves would be fine... same-sex repels, opposite sex attracts, this is the truth.

  But just as Li Zhen was eating instant noodles, he suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "If you don't want to be a singer, what is your dream?"

  Tang Menglong's body stiffened slightly as he lay on the bed, but a smile still spread across his face: "It's not interesting to say it out loud, why don't you try guessing?"
