Chapter 268 The Night is Gentle and Love is Deep
Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun put on prop helmets and knelt facing each other.
In order to disrupt Kim Ki-hyeon's rhythm, Kim Jong-kook played rock-paper-scissors with the PD to decide who would ask first.
Yoo Jae-suk naturally disagreed.
Then he was glared at by the tiger.
He wilted instantly.
PD agreed to play rock-paper-scissors.
As a result, Jin Qixuan lost.
Li Zhien asked first.
"One, two, three, go!"
After the PD finished shouting, Li Zhien immediately asked: "IU's three strengths!"
Jin Qixuan answered almost without thinking:
"Cute, fair-skinned, and rich!"
Then, Jin Qixuan counterattacked and asked: "Three reasons why you like me!"
Li Zhien responded just as quickly, counting on her fingers, and said:
"Tall, handsome, and in great shape!"
Before everyone could complain, Li Zhien immediately asked:
“IU’s three shortcomings.”
"Short, stubborn, and in poor shape."
"ah!!!"
After hearing this, Lee Ji-eun slammed the table, glared, and swung her fist to hit Kim Qixuan.
“Hahaha~”
Seeing this, the members burst into laughter.
They just joked that the question and answer between the two was a little ambiguous, and then the tone changed.
"Qixuan, your answer is too direct, hahaha. IU, don't be angry."
"Yeah, yeah, it's just a game, don't take it too seriously."
At this time, Jin Qixuan quickly waved his hands and explained: "I was just kidding!"
"Your charm cannot be measured by height. Although she has a stubborn temper, that is also a reflection of her insistence on being herself and not following the crowd."
"As for your poor figure, that's nonsense. You have a well-proportioned figure, and you exude a charming and lovely charm whether on stage or in private."
Although Jin Qixuan added these words with a strong desire to survive, he was still punched by Li Zhien.
However, after listening to Jin Qixuan's explanation, her expression eased a lot.
Then, it was Jin Qixuan's turn to ask questions.
He decided to ask the question in return.
"Tell me three of your shortcomings."
"So cute, so kind, so perfect."
After saying this, Li Zhien couldn't help laughing.
“Hahaha~”
The members were also amused by her answer.
Jin Qixuan was confused: "Is this a shortcoming?"
"These are my three shortcomings."
Li Zhien blinked her big eyes and looked at him innocently.
Okay, I've learned it. Next time I'll know how to praise her in different ways.
Then, Li Zhien blinked her big, sparkling eyes and asked: "Tell me the names of the three artists you hate the most."
"Lee Kwang-soo, Yoo Jae-suk, and Ji Seok-jin."
Jin Qixuan's words immediately angered the three people.
"ah!"
Liu Zaishi pointed at Jin Qixuan and glared at him, "Jin Qixuan, you are so bold. You actually dare to say you hate us in front of us?!"
“Hahaha~”
The other members who were not named couldn't help laughing when they saw Yoo Jae Suk's angry expression.
Jin Qixuan quickly waved his hand and explained:
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
However, the three did not listen to Jin Qixuan's explanation.
After being hit twice by Lee Kwang Soo, Kim Ki-Hyun straightened his helmet, looked at Lee Ji-Eun, thought for a moment, and asked
"Three movies that Kwang Soo has starred in!"
“.”
Li Zhien's silence at this moment is deafening.
“Hahaha~”
The members couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw Lee Kwang Soo's constipated expression.
Even Lee Ji-eun covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hey, Qixuan, can't you change the question?"
Lee Kwang Soo complained.
Jin Qixuan spread his hands helplessly:
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect she couldn't answer that."
"Then you answer the names of the three works I have starred in."
“.”
Seeing that Kim Ki-hyun didn't say anything, Lee Kwang-soo's face turned red instantly and he rushed up to hit him.
"Hey, Jin Qixuan, you did this on purpose, didn't you?!"
"On purpose."
Jin Qixuan admitted with a smile.
“Hahaha~ Kwang Soo stop messing around and let them continue.”
Yoo Jae-suk tried to smooth things over with a smile.
Afterwards, Jin Qixuan straightened his helmet again, stood up and raised his hand to pull out the small stick that was blocking the water source on Li Zhien's helmet.
I didn't win any of the three draws.
Liu Zaishi and others cried out that it was a pity.
But Kim Jong Kook and others cheered happily.
Li Zhien stroked her chest with relief, her big eyes rolled around, revealing a hint of cunning.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan, who knew her well, knew that Li Zhien was going to use a ruthless move.
As expected.
As soon as Lee Ji-eun opened her mouth, she was choked by Kim Ki-hyeon's question.
"The last three adult pornographic movies you watched."
"You cough cough cough."
He stared at Lee Ji-eun with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe she would ask such a question.
The members and PD around were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha~”
"IU, you are IU, how can you ask such a question, hahahaha"
HAHA laughed so hard that he fell backwards and slapped his thigh.
"Hehe~"
Lee Ji-eun smiled shyly, and her eyes were full of pride when she looked at Kim Ki-hyeon.
Despite the loss, Jin Qixuan had good luck.
Li Zhien also didn't win the third time.
Kim Jong Kook and others cried out that it was a pity.
Instead, Liu Zaishi and others cheered.
Seeing that Lee Ji-eun was asking about the 19+ category, Kim Ki-hyeon didn't bother to be polite with her and asked, "IU, please tell me three things you can lick."
Li Zhien was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out as fast as singing rap:
“Lollipops, ice cream, yogurt lids.”
“.”
After Li Zhien finished speaking, Jin Qixuan was dumbfounded.
This, this, this is also possible?!
That’s amazing, I’m the one who made myself dirty.
At this time, Kim Jong Kook came up and slapped Kim Ki Hyun:
"Hey, Jin Qixuan, what kind of questions are you asking? This is a show that can be watched by 12-year-olds!"
"Hahaha, Qixuan, are you trying to take advantage of IU, or are you trying to take advantage of IU?!"
Seeing this, HAHA smiled and interrupted teasingly.
"What's wrong with my question? It's because you have dirty thoughts. Don't you think IU's answer is not very good?"
Jin Qixuan retorted, holding the back of his head.
"Ah, I'm warning you not to ask such irrelevant questions!"
Kim Jong Kook pretended to be angry.
"knew."
Jin Qixuan nodded quickly in agreement.
Then, Kim Jong Kook looked at Lee Ji Eun, his tone instantly became gentle, and asked: "IU, have you thought of three questions?"
"No."
Seeing this, HAHA walked up and whispered something into Lee Ji-eun's ear.
Then, Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up and she nodded obediently, looking at Kim Ki-hyeon with a playful look in her eyes.
"Then let's get started."
"Ready, one, two, three, go!"
PD shouted.
The game continues.
"There are three ways in which Han Hyo Joo is better than Park Bo Young."
When Jin Qixuan heard this question, he was stunned.
After saying "uh" for a long time, the only thing he could say was that his legs were longer than Park Bo Young's.
"Ding! Timeout!"
“Hahaha~”
"Ah, HAHA, you little clever ghost."
Kim Jong Kook laughed and punched him.
Seeing that his strategy was successful, HAHA walked over with a smile and high-fived IU to celebrate.
After a while, Lee Ji-eun walked up and started hitting the small stick on Kim Ki-hyeon's head.
Seeing this, Lee Kwang-soo clasped his hands together and said nervously:
"Please, please, don't get picked!"
On the other side, HAHA, Liang Se Chan and others were cheering and praying that Lee Ji-eun would win the draw.
"IU, you must win this time!"
But in the end, with a 50% chance, Lee Ji-eun didn’t win.
"well"
Kim Jong Kook and others sighed in disappointment.
Seeing this, HAHA complained helplessly:
"Hey, IU, you have stinky hands too."
"well"
Li Zhien also sighed depressedly.
Then, Jin Qixuan took advantage of her low morale and asked: "Please say three words to the newly elected President Moon!"
“.”
Li Zhien twitched her lips, but finally chose to remain silent.
"Ding! Timeout for answering!"
"yeah!"
In contrast, Liu Jae-suk and others high-fived Kim Ki-hyun to celebrate.
Kim Jong Kook and others sighed and complained helplessly:
"Hey, just say whatever you want to say."
"Yeah, freedom of speech."
"Congratulations, congratulations, come on, whatever."
Li Zhien pouted and apologized to everyone aggrievedly: "Sorry."
Then, Jin Qixuan stepped forward and prepared to hit the small stick on Li Zhien's helmet.
"Qixuan, you must win this time!"
Liu Jae-seok walked up to him, patted his shoulder and encouraged him.
"Don't worry, brother."
Jin Qixuan nodded and raised his hand to draw confidently.
Then, the water flowed down Li Zhien's head, and Jin Qixuan won! "Hahaha, I won!"
“Well done!”
Yoo Jae-suk and others cheered.
Kim Jong Kook and others looked devastated.
"Okay, congratulations to Team Yoo Jae-seok for their victory. Please tell us your choice."
After a discussion, they looked at Kim Jong Kook and the others with a smirk and said, "We choose to change the meal."
"ah"
After a while, the meal was served.
Yoo Jae-suk was grilling eels with laughter.
On the other side, the five people were eating seaweed, lettuce, and various green leafy vegetables with resentful looks on their faces.
Tasteless.
Seeing Li Zhien looking at him eagerly, Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and asked:
"IU, do you want to eat eel?"
Li Zhien nodded her little head like pounding garlic and said, "I want to!"
"If you lick the tip of your nose with your tongue, I'll give you a piece."
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun stuck out her tongue and tried it.
Even though he couldn't reach it, that adorable look still melted Jin Qixuan's heart.
"Here, here."
As he spoke, Jin Qixuan handed over the grilled eel.
"Thank you~"
Lee Ji-eun took the eel wrapped in vegetables and put it into her mouth with a satisfied smile.
Seeing this, except for Kim Jong Kook, the other three people showed their magical powers and prayed to eat eel.
The painting style suddenly became joyful.
The funniest thing is that HAHA completed Yoo Jae Suk’s request.
As a result, Yoo Jae-suk gave him a piece of lettuce.
HAHA was so angry that he shouted at the top of his voice:
“We have all the lettuce!!!”
“Hahaha~”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lunch ended with laughter and joy.
In the afternoon, everyone played a game of hide-and-seek at the SBS TV station.
In the evening, everyone recorded dinner again, and this episode ended there.
During the whole day of recording the program today, Kim Jong Kook finally discovered that Lee Ji-eun was unusually respectful to him.
And from the eye contact between her and Jin Qixuan, it was clear that they had a special relationship.
Therefore, after holding back for the whole day, Kim Jong Kook pulled Kim Ki-hyun to the side of the venue to ask.
"What's your relationship with IU?"
"What kind of relationship do you want?"
Jin Qixuan asked tentatively.
"Don't be so talkative."
“The relationship between creditor and debtor.”
After hearing this, Kim Jong Kook frowned slightly and stared into Kim Ki-hyeon's eyes, trying to get more information from them.
"Is that all? Aren't we just friends?"
He asked.
"We can never be friends."
"Hmm?" Kim Jong Kook was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Because I'm not willing to be just friends."
"You don't want to be just friends?"
Kim Jong Kook repeated Kim Ki-hyeon's words, seeming to savor the deeper meaning behind them.
After a while, Kim Jong Kook looked at Kim Ki Hyun meaningfully and said, "Are you in love with her?"
Jin Qixuan did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while.
Kim Jong Kook did not ask any more questions, but just waited quietly for his answer.
After a while, Jin Qixuan raised his head, met Jin Zhongguo's eyes, and said firmly: "Yes, I like her."
Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook fell into deep thought.
His silence was not because he was surprised by Jin Qixuan's answer.
But it was because he knew very well what love meant to Jin Qixuan.
The reason why he didn't agree with Jin Qixuan's relationship earlier.
On the one hand, he was worried that Jin Qixuan was young and energetic, and his mind was unstable, and he might let the girl down.
In Kim Jong Kook's opinion, love requires responsibility and commitment, not momentary impulse and passion.
He felt that Jin Qixuan was unable to shoulder the responsibility and would eventually hurt the girl.
On the other hand, Kim Jong Kook also considered Kim Ki Hyun's career development.
Although Jin Qixuan has outstanding talent and potential, he is still in the rookie stage of his career and faces huge competitive pressure.
Kim Jong Kook is worried that Kim Ki Hyun falling in love will distract his attention and affect his career development.
In the highly competitive field of entertainment, every opportunity is particularly important.
Without sufficient resources and support, it is difficult to gain a foothold even if you are talented.
If Kim Ki-hyeon said at that time that he liked Lee Ji-eun, Kim Jong-kook would slap him twice and tell him to stop dreaming.
But, that is all in the past after all.
Jin Qixuan is now on the rise.
His international and domestic fame and reputation is even greater than that of his uncle.
The most important thing is that Jin Qixuan has the capital to fall in love.
Kim Jong Kook looked at him, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the child has grown to this point.
"You're old enough to make your own decisions."
He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and then continued, "However, I want to remind you that love is not a joke. You need to be responsible for yourself and the other person. Don't make decisions on impulse, but think carefully. Love requires dedication, responsibility, and sacrifice."
Kim Jong Kook's eyes revealed a deep expectation. He hoped that Kim Ki Hyun could understand his good intentions: "I know that you may feel that you are mature enough now and can handle everything. However, emotional matters are often more complicated than you think. You need to have enough patience and courage to face it."
Jin Qixuan said nothing and listened to his teachings silently.
He is still chattering as always.
But the words revealed a deep concern.
After a while, Kim Jong Kook patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jin Qixuan nodded, then turned and left.
Looking at Kim Ki-hyun's departing back, a complex look flashed in Kim Jong-kook's eyes.
He knew that his nephew had really grown up and had his own ideas and pursuits.
I can no longer interfere in his life like I did in the past.
As an elder, all he can do now is support and blessings.
I hope he can handle his feelings well and not let himself down.
The other side.
After Kim Ki-hyun left Kim Jong-kook.
My steps became brisker, the smile on my face became brighter, and my mood became as relaxed and happy as a spring breeze.
Not far away, Lee Ji-eun had been waiting patiently for a long time.
When she saw Jin Qixuan walking towards her with a smile on his face, she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Xuanxuan, what did you talk to your uncle just now? Why did you talk for so long?"
Li Zhien couldn't help but ask.
Jin Qixuan smiled slightly, looked into Li Zhien's eyes and said:
"I told him I like you."
When Li Zhien heard this, her heart skipped a beat and an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
Then, Li Zhien asked impatiently: "What was his attitude in the end?"
“He let me make my own decision.”
When Li Zhien heard this, she was delighted.
She knew that this meant that Kim Jong Kook did not oppose their relationship, but instead gave Kim Ki Hyun the right to make his own choice.
Then, Li Zhien asked:
"And what about your evaluation of me?"
Jin Qixuan looked at Li Zhien's expectant eyes and paused deliberately, wanting to tease her:
“No comment.”
Li Zhien's smile froze instantly after hearing Jin Qixuan's words.
She thought Kim Jong Kook was dissatisfied with her in some way, which made her feel a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan leisurely scratched her nose and said, "Because my uncle said you are so outstanding that he can't find any fault with you."
After hearing this, Li Zhien felt relieved and the tension in her heart disappeared.
She glared at Jin Qixuan and said coquettishly, "Hey, don't breathe so hard when you speak next time!"
Jin Qixuan looked at Li Zhien's coquettish appearance and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her smooth face.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if the whole world became brighter because of this.
After a while, Li Zhien suddenly remembered something and asked:
"So can we go celebrate now?"
Jin Qixuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, where are we going to celebrate?"
"Go buy groceries. Aren't you going to record Take Care of My Refrigerator tomorrow?"
"ah"
Seeing Jin Qixuan's lack of interest, Li Zhien raised her hand and punched him: "Hey, what are you thinking about!"
“Not leaving.”
Since the recording had just ended, Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun decided to go shopping nearby.
Soon after, they arrived at Lotte Mart in Yeouido.
In the supermarket, Lee Ji-eun was like a little child, full of enthusiasm for snacks.
She was choosing items from the shelves with great interest, occasionally throwing selected snacks into the shopping cart.
The shopping cart was soon filled up with a wide variety of snacks, it looked like a small snack exhibition.
However, not long after, Lee Ji-eun discovered a strange phenomenon.
She looked back at the shopping cart and noticed that the number of snacks in it seemed to be gradually decreasing.
Confused, she began to look around, trying to figure out what the problem was.
Just then, she found Jin Qixuan standing not far behind her, picking up a bag of snacks from the shopping cart from time to time and then putting it back in its place.
"Ah! Jin Er."
Suddenly remembering that she was in a public place, Lee Ji-eun fell silent.
She walked in front of Jin Qixuan angrily, raised her head and glared at him, lowering her voice to the lowest level and said, "Do you want to die?"
Qixuan looked at Li Zhien's angry little face, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
He knew she was angry about the snacks.
So, he pretended to be innocent, shrugged and said, "Are you angry?"
Li Zhien glared at him and said unhappily:
"What do you think? How could you secretly put back the snacks I picked with great difficulty?"
"I just think that these snacks are high in calories and eating too much is not good for the body."
When Li Zhien heard this, she immediately got furious:
"Oh, what do you know! I carefully selected these snacks. Every pack is my favorite!"
Jin Qixuan felt amused when he saw Li Zhien's angry look.
"Weren't you going to buy the ingredients with me? How come you ended up buying them for yourself?"
"Well"
Li Zhien lost her momentum and muttered, "I'll just buy some on the way. It's not a lot anyway."
Jin Qixuan looked at the shopping cart full of snacks and shook his head helplessly.
He knew that reasoning with Lee Ji-eun would not work.
So, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "How about this, when you go back, you have to exercise with me to burn off these calories."
Hearing this, Li Zhien rolled her eyes helplessly, sighed, and compromised: "Okay, okay, I get it. I will exercise with you when I get back."
"Hehe, that's a good feeling~"
after.
The two of them shuttled between the shelves.
Kim Ki-hyun was responsible for selecting fresh ingredients, while Lee Ji-eun picked up a bag of snacks from time to time and threw it into the shopping cart.
When checking out, Jin Qixuan looked at the mountains of snacks and ingredients in the shopping cart and couldn't help shaking his head.
"Are you sure you can finish this much?"
"It's not like we can eat all in one day. Besides, didn't we just say we were going to exercise to burn it off when we get home?"
Li Zhien replied confidently.
Jin Qixuan smiled helplessly and said nothing more.
After the two left the supermarket, night had fallen.
The stars are twinkling and the breeze is blowing.
As night falls, the starlight sets off the brilliant lights of the city.
Jin Qixuan drove the car and took Li Zhien through this bustling city.
The music in the car was soft and melodious, accompanying the conversations of the two, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.
Jin Qixuan glanced at Li Zhien from time to time.
Her profile was dim in the car window, interweaving with the night to form a beautiful picture.
The breeze outside the window gently blew her hair, emitting a faint fragrance.
The fragrance seemed to have magical power, making Jin Qixuan's heart beat faster involuntarily.
A strong desire to protect surged in his heart, and he wanted to keep this beauty by his side forever.
Lee Ji-eun felt Kim Ki-hyeon's gaze and turned to smile at him.
At this moment, all words seem redundant, and only each other's eyes can convey the inner feelings.
The vehicle slowly drove into the residential area and finally stopped in the underground garage of Jin Qixuan's house.
After getting off the car, the two walked towards the elevator carrying large and small bags of food and snacks.
The elevator door opened, and the two walked out of the elevator and returned home.
After arranging all the ingredients, the two sat on the sofa to rest.
Lee Ji-eun leaned on Kim Ki-hyeon's shoulder, ate snacks, watched the variety show on TV, and laughed happily from time to time.
Jin Qixuan gently held her waist and enjoyed this rare moment of peace.
It was late at night, but Jin Qixuan's room was filled with warmth and sweetness.
The moonlight falls on the windowsill, adding a touch of softness and romance to this quiet night.
