According to schedule, after the crew returned to Koktokay, they would stay for a few more days to complete the last filming task before returning to Seoul. It was just that, everyone would have to spend the New Year's Eve in Xinjiang.
But for the artists and seven or eight staff members, it was really a common occurrence for them to spend the big and small holidays on the set. The dozen or so people in the crew gathered in one of the largest yurts and together ate pilaf.
It was a rice dish or in some regions a wheat dish and grilled kebabs. It was lively and wasn't at all lonely.
Chen Gangyu said bluntly, "It's better to spend the Spring Festival in the crew! When I go home for the festivities in the province, a bunch of relatives will be urging me, asking when will I get married."
She turned 32 this year, and debuted more than a decade ago. After breaking up with her boyfriend in the circle years back, she stayed single until now. It really worried her relatives at home.
Urging someone to get married, childbearing, or having a second child; these were really necessary subjects of talk for the Spring Festival. Even female stars couldn't escape.
The people chatted and steered the topic to Jennie , asking her about her relationship experience.
Jennie smiled and said openly: "Me? I don't plan to get married in the short term. My primary focus is still on my career. If I start a family early and have children, I will have concerns, so I plan to put all these things on the back burner."
Jackson said in admiration, "Sister Ruby, you're amazing. You are now sitting in a position that many artists can't, but you still have such a hard-working spirit."
Jennie didn't answer, thinking, My professional ambition has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. I'm afraid I'll scare you by saying it.
"But..."
Jackson's eyes shone brightly as he gazed at her. It took a long time before he could boldly breeze out a sentence, "Tying the knot can be done a few years later, but you can have a relationship first, right?"
He was holding a wine glass in his hand, and his seat was only separated from Jennie. His ears were red, and who knew if they were due to too much wine, or if the color was heated by the fireplace.
After he asked, the whole crew fell silent for a few seconds —
— He was only 20 years old, debuted only recently, and hadn't learned how to disguise himself as another person.
He thought he was hiding his feelings well, but in reality, the Director saw it, the Follow PDs saw it, the assistants accompanying him saw it, and his fellow cast saw it ... And Jennie, naturally, took note of it too.
But everyone was older than him, and were better at disguising themselves, so everyone pretended not to notice. Who would have thought that after the young man had a few glasses tonight, he could no longer restrain his innermost thoughts and feelings?
Faced with such an almost explicit hint, everyone's eyes moved to Ruby to see if she would entertain or digress from the topic.
The result was beyond everyone's expectation.
She smiled and answered openly, "You are right. Marriage can be later, but relationships need to be early —
— A few days ago, I just confirmed one."
Jackson: "......"
Jackson's face suddenly collapsed. He looked ashen at Jennie, and that look was as if the Goddess of his dreams didn't announce a romantic affair, but announced that she'd be a nun.
Nothing was more lamentable than a dead heart.
He opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that he wasn't in any position to speak.
What kind of person was Ruby? She was a star beyond his reach.
He could only blame himself for being delusional. He knew that Ruby was so outstanding and had countless people pursuing her, but he still thought he could go beyond the boundaries of 'brother and sister'...
The more Jackson thought about it, the sadder he became. He suddenly picked up a strong liquor in his hand and defiantly attempted to send it to his mouth!
The colder the place, the stronger the wine. This bottle of Baijiu had more than 60% alcohol. If he were to swallow so much, it would definitely burn his stomach and intestines!
The people around him were shocked and rushed forward to hold him down. Wei Jing and Yan Changhui captured his arms. One grabbed his bottle, and the other urged his little brother to calm down.
But when a young man was in love, how could he calm down?
He looked at Jennie with red eyes, aggrieved, like a little stray dog that had been abandoned.
Jackson asked, "I-Is it 'him'?"
The he he was referring to was self-explanatory.
Jennie nodded, and confirmed crisp and clear, "It's him."
Apart from Lisa, there was no other man beside her.
Jackson only had one encounter with Lisa. But from that one encounter alone, Lisa's hauntingly noble and mighty-cold aura left a deep impression on him. Even now when he recalled it, he still trembled a bit.
But he refused to concede, and with wine's booster, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where am I inferior to him?"
Jennie discerned that he really wanted a clear answer, so she could only be honest: "He is older than you."
Jackson was on the verge of falling: "Is age so important? I'm only 6 years younger than you. If you like little pups, I'm a little pup. If you like little wolf pups, I'll be a little wolf pup..."
"Well—" Jennie said euphemistically, "— I like an older man in every way."
Jackson: "..."
Nayeon: "......"
Other artists: "........."
Jackson cried out with a "woof".
