"Please wait a moment!" The man in the wide-brimmed hat ran out of breath, with the camera swaying in front of his chest. "I'm Lee Seung-hoon, a scout from SM Entertainment... Can I take up a minute of your time?" He took off his sunglasses, revealing his red face with excitement. "Your facial proportions, camera expressiveness, and unique temperament..." His eyes fell on Ouyang Guang's face, like a collector discovering a dusty gem - the boy stood against the light, his golden hair tips dyed honey color, his eyelashes cast tiny shadows under his eyes, and when he tilted his head, his teardrop mole just fell into the intersection of light and shadow, like a drop of ochre glaze on white porcelain.
"Excuse me, where are you from? Have you ever considered becoming an idol?" Lee Bo-hoon handed over a business card with SM's golden logo. "With your body..."
"Not interested." Ouyang Guang said coldly, turning aside to avoid the business card handed by the man. But Chen Zheng suddenly poked his head out from the side, his green hair brushing the back of the man's hand: "Wow SM! Can I see Sister BoA? Uncle, are you here to find our A Guang to be a star?"
But Chen Zheng immediately put his arms together to block Ouyang Guang, his green hair standing up like a hedgehog: "Uncle! Why did you only look for A Guang? Aren't the three of us handsome?" He deliberately made an exaggerated pose, but accidentally stepped on his shoelaces and stumbled into He Ziqi's arms. He Ziqi supported him and raised his eyebrows in a sly manner: "That's right, I spent eight thousand dollars to dye my red hair!"
"Our A Guang," He Zilin interrupted slowly, poking Ouyang Guang's waist with his fingertips, "I am more concerned about whether the spicy fried shrimp will have double the amount of hot sauce."
Li Xun was amused by the four colorful boys in front of him, his eyes darting back and forth between their hair - red, blue, green, and gold, like a plate of spilled paint, flamboyant and vivid.
"All four of you have your own personalities," he smiled and shook his head, his eyes finally falling on Ouyangguang, "but this student..."
He paused, as if choosing his words, but he could not hide the amazement in his eyes.
"Especially these eyes." Li Xinxun pointed to the corner of his eye. "The amber pupils are very special in the lens, as if they are glowing."
Ouyang Guang frowned, but before he could speak, Chen Zheng had already pulled open his eyelids and stepped in front of Li Xun: "Our eyes are also very special! We wear pure black clothes, and we are honest to everyone!"
He Ziqi laughed beside him, while He Zilin shook his head helplessly and poked Ouyang Guang's shoulder: "Ignore them, your spicy fried shrimp is waving at you."
Ouyang Guang glared at him, but the tip of his ear felt slightly hot uncontrollably. He waved He Zilin's hand away and said in a disdainful tone: "You talk too much."
But having said that, he still followed the crowd towards the seafood market, his pace half a second faster than usual - if for nothing else, just for the pot of bubbling spicy fried seafood that He Ziqi mentioned.
Li Xun watched them walk away and hurried to catch up. "If we can't sign such a good-looking boy, it would be a waste of talent." He muttered quietly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the camera strap, "If we can sign him, the bonus will be doubled."
What's more, the other boys also have very good looks - the one with red hair is flamboyant and ruffian, the one with blue hair is gentle like jade, and the one with green hair is a little bit eccentric but highly recognizable.
He quickened his pace and could still hear Chen Zheng mumbling in front of him: "Actually... I want to be an idol, too."
"Why?" He Ziqi asked.
"This way we can eat fried chicken every day." Chen Zheng said confidently.
Ouyangguang said without even turning his head: "Be successful."
Li Xuxun almost laughed out loud.
The fishy and salty smell from the seafood market hit him in the face. Ouyang Guang wrinkled his nose and glanced at the live octopus, scallops and squids on the stalls, and finally stopped in front of the sign of a spicy fried seafood restaurant.
"This one." He pointed, his tone unquestionable.
He Ziqi cheered, and Chen Zheng rushed in to take a seat. He Zilin followed slowly, and looked back - Li Xun was still standing not far away, with his camera pointed at them vaguely.
"He also slapped you." He Zilin lowered his voice.
"Still taking pictures?" Chen Zheng picked up the empty wine bottle and pretended to rush over, but Ouyang Guang held him back: "Let him be." He bit open the shrimp shell, and the sweet soup numbed his tongue, but he couldn't help laughing - this was probably the only moment in the past three days that made him feel that his time was worthwhile.
When they finished eating the seafood and were about to go back to the hotel, Li Xuxun stopped them again.
"Classmate," he handed over a new business card with a sincere smile, "Think about it again? SM's trainees are treated well, and..."
"And what?" Ouyang Guang interrupted him.
"And with your conditions, you will definitely be able to debut within three years."
Ouyang Guang stared at the business card and didn't take it.
He Ziqi came over and asked with a smile: "Uncle, you are not a liar, right?"
