Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 2 A golden winter fell from the sky.

September 2016, Seoul, South Korea.

"let's break up."

Ming Yan said calmly into the phone.

"What? You don't even want to break up with me face to face?" The woman on the phone sounded a little angry, and seemed a little reluctant.

"I'm afraid that once I see you, I won't be able to say the word 'break up'." Although Mingyan said this, there was no sadness on his face.

He looked leisurely at the scenery outside the car window. The weather was quite good today.

Well, it's a good day to break up.

"Can I ask why we broke up?"

"Because I have a daughter and I don't want to burden you."

A very good and powerful reason.

The female voice continued, "When did you have a daughter?"

"I just found out recently too. I'm fifteen years old this year."

"You're only twenty-two, and your daughter is fifteen. That's not the way to lie to someone."

The woman on the phone became even angrier after hearing this answer. She could never figure out which words Mingyan said were true and which were false.

However, the more this happened, the more he couldn't help himself, and he desperately wanted to see this mysterious guy clearly.

"Well, actually, she should be considered as my niece. Anyway, there's a burden now, so we can't continue our relationship." Ming Yan felt that being able to combine two completely unrelated things was a kind of ability.

As for whether others believe it or not...

Then he would have no way to control it, but he believed it anyway.

"asshole!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Mingyan looked at the hung up call and shrugged.

The expression on his face was calm, and as for what he was thinking in his heart, perhaps only he knew.

The ex-girlfriend he just broke up with was a good girl, different from some of the slutty girls in the circle that Mingyan had met before.

She is two years older than me, but when she acts like a spoiled child, she acts like a younger sister.

We'll see each other again in the future...if we have the chance.

"Hey, ma'am."

Mingyan received another call on the way from Seoul to Liangsan.

When ordinary people hear the word Liangshan, the first thing they think of may be a famous ancient Chinese novel, but South Korea also has such a place name, or in other words, this country has far more than one place name that overlaps with its neighboring Dongdaemun.

"Xiaoyan, where have you been?" A female voice with a slight local accent came from the phone.

Ming Yan glanced at the navigation: "I should be there in about...an hour."

Yangsan is quite far from Seoul and it takes about four hours to drive there.

"Well, I'll prepare dinner and wait for you."

"Sis, I haven't had your cooking in many years since you moved to Liangshan."

"Then let Dad make it for you. We both learned the craft from Mom."

"..."

When the person on the other end heard Ming Yan's delay in answering, he sighed softly and then hung up the phone.

Mingyan drove silently all the way to Liangshan. "Sister."

About an hour later, he arrived at his destination, a residential area in Liangshan City.

The woman who came out to greet him was Ming Yue, his biological sister, but there was a big age gap between them.

Mingyan is 22 years old and Mingyue is 38 years old, a full 16-year age difference. The father of the siblings was a middle-aged man who had children and could still have sons at the age of 40.

As you can tell from their names, the family is not traditional Koreans, but immigrants from China.

In the early years, South Korea's economic development was much better than China's, so many people came here to make a living, and even caused a certain degree of social chaos.

Mingyan's father came here to make a living at that time and finally stayed.

The brother and sister are second-generation permanent residents with green cards, but their ties with China have never been severed, so the Chinese level of the whole family is still good and they have not given up.

Because their father was very busy and neglected to take care of the family, Mingyan spent more time with his sister since he was a child. However, Mingyue got married when his brother was six years old and later moved to Liangshan.

"Xiaoyan, you must be tired after driving for so long." Mingyue pulled his brother around and looked him around carefully.

Ming Yan smiled: "Nothing, I just drove a little faster so that I could eat my sister's cooking earlier."

"You're a celebrity now, so drive carefully." Mingyue brushed off the non-existent dust on his brother's body. "Your brother-in-law and I watched the latest movie, 'The Sun,' and he said your acting was quite convincing."

“Descendants of the Sun.”

Mingyan reminded his sister that this drama was extremely popular in the first half of this year, and even all the content was filmed at once so that it could be broadcast simultaneously in China and South Korea.

This is different from Korea's traditional model of filming and broadcasting at the same time.

"Yes, 'Descendants of the Sun', you are more handsome than Song Joong-ki." In the eyes of the sister, her younger brother is always the most handsome.

"The teacher said I was too handsome, so he deliberately made me look older," Ming Yan complained. "Xu Darong in the script was originally in his thirties, which is quite different from me."

"You have to thank Teacher Kim Eun-sook. Without her, you wouldn't have become an actor."

Mingyue's tone was very emotional.

When she first moved to Liangshan, the person she was most concerned about was her younger brother, especially when Mingyan said he wanted to go to an art high school, she slapped her brother in the face for the first time in her life.

The Korean entertainment industry is so cruel. The competition to debut is extremely fierce. Even if you debut, the life of an artist is not that good.

This kid is pure rebellion.

Mingyue never thought that her younger brother would actually become an actor and be so successful in it.

"I have always regarded my teacher as my family. She loves me very much."

"Xiaoyan, actually dad..."

"Sister, don't mention him." Ming Yan stopped his sister calmly, "Is my brother-in-law sure he's going to be stationed abroad?"

"Yes, I have to go take care of your brother-in-law, so I can only ask you to take care of Minyue." Mingyue hesitated: "If you don't have time, you can go with Dad..."

"Sister, are you really comfortable with Minyan living with me?" Mingyan interrupted her sister directly.

His behavior is best known to his sister.

Ming Yue said softly, "You're her uncle after all. Your brother-in-law and I are not in the country, and she wants to go to Seoul to be a trainee. Who else can she turn to if not you?"

When she discussed this matter with her husband, they had a big argument.

However, Mingyue believed that his younger brother would be a good uncle.

Mingyan listened quietly to what his sister said, then turned his gaze to the timid little girl next to him.

"Min-hwan has grown so big in the blink of an eye."
