1021 Meet His Idol Once
Every house in Taoyuan Village was a distance away from each other and Song Jin stayed especially far from everyone else. To come here looking for someone for the first time would indeed be a challenge.
Thankfully, they found his place and their search was fruitful.
They saw an old courtyard and a smoking chimney on the roof of a house not too far away. Behind the house was a dense forest with paddy fields as its backdrop and they could hear the contented hums of an old cow from inside the courtyard.
"Vast forests with wild borders, paddy fields by the home; a home within ten acres of a few houses around; willows shading the home with peaches before it; in a distant village sits one's house, smoke billowing from its chimney... Huh, it looks like Elder Song is Tao Yuanming's fan!" Jennie laughed.
After running around for the entire day, Baekhyun was about to fall over from fatigue, yet he turned to see that Jennie was unexpectedly still energetic and had even recited such eloquent poetry, rendering him really speechless...
There was no door to the courtyard. It was a fence that had been set up with some wood and the two of them tidied themselves up before walking to the wooden door.
"Hello, is Elder Song at home?" Baekhyun asked in the direction of the courtyard.
There were no signs of movement from inside.
However, from the looks of the active chimney, there should definitely be someone at home.
The two of them called out a few more times and a short while later, a shadow walked out from the inside. The person wore a rough-looking long robe.
He had a white beard and a hearty spirit, almost appearing to be one of those immortal folks.
When she saw Song Jin himself, Jennie's heart skipped a beat.
The elder obviously looked like someone with no worldly desire or intention to seek for anything; such people were the hardest to settle!
"Elder Song!" Baekhyun was Song Jin's ultimate fan. His fatigue instantly vanished at the sight of his idol as he said emotionally, "Elder Song, I'm really sorry to randomly disrupt your peace and quiet. My name is Baekhyun and I'm a designer. I really love your work! You're my favorite calligrapher and I've even collected your perfect work of 'Ten Frogs' before this."
Baekhyun truly qualified as a fan. He was very familiar with Song Jin's work and the passion and emotion in his eyes were genuine and naive. From Jennie's perspective, if such a cute and passionate fan had come all the way to meet her, she would at least invite them in for a cup of tea.
"There's no calligrapher here, only an old man. Please leave."
However, Song Jin's expression had been very indifferent from the start to the end. Even his eyes did not seem like he was looking at two people, but merely two lifeless objects. At last, he only uttered this sentence before walking back to his house.
As he watched the door ruthlessly close, Baekhyun looked disappointed. "Even though I already prepared ahead."
Jennie patted him on the shoulders. "It's okay, at least you got to see your idol once!"
Baekhyun regained his spirits and announced, "I want to wait for a while more."
Jennie had the same plan too. "Then, let's wait a while longer! Maybe Elder Song will be willing to meet us when he sees how sincere we are!"
They waited outside the door until the sun had gone down.
When she saw that the sky was getting darker, Jennie sighed, "Even the heavens are uncooperative now! There should be a downpour at this moment to offset the mood!"
