Peninsula: My pet is my idol

"Hello."

The two leaned forward slightly at the same time, and Tang Xin's hat brim ended up poking Jin Zhiyuan's head.

"Ah!" "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

The two exchanged a flurry of incoherent greetings, but after a long time, not a single useful word came out.

Jin Zhiyuan is socially anxious and introverted, which is normal.

Tang Xin is introverted, but not to the point of being socially anxious. He's quite good at saying nice things, but now he's acting like a socially anxious shut-in, which is very unusual.

Why is this unusual?

He had never seen a girl this young and beautiful in his life!

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah? How can those be the same... These two are clients! Tang Xin subconsciously knew that "the worst thing for a technician is to fall in love with a client."

Tang Xin had never seen Kim Tae-yeon with makeup on, and even after removing her makeup, Im Yoon-ah's face still showed signs of aging.

But this girl in front of me is different...

With his blond hair and light makeup, Kim Ji-won looked like a real-life Barbie doll.

During a girl's peak collagen production period, her face is as white and clean as a boiled egg.

Tang Xin had no experience of talking to such a beautiful girl at close range.

Forcing himself to calm down, he said gently, "I'm sorry I bumped into you. I...I...this shop! This coffee shop is mine. Can I give you a cup of coffee as an apology?"

"No... that's not good."

"what?"

Jin Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I mean, okay!"

Upon arriving at the store entrance, Tang Xin hurriedly began to fumble for his keys to open the door.

He walked over to the control panel, squatted down, and rubbed his face vigorously.

He cursed inwardly: Tang Xin, Tang Xin, calm down, calm down!

After a while, a tomato wearing a hat peered over the height of the worktable and saw another golden-haired tomato.

If Master He were in the shop at that moment, he would probably burst out laughing and say, "You two kids are so cute!" and then laugh himself silly.

"What would you like to drink? I'll make it for you now!" Tang Xin said proactively.

"Hmm... the kind you usually make is fine..."

"Oh! Just a moment!" Tang Xin didn't notice anything wrong with the other person's words and immediately started making coffee.

Jin Zhiyuan, on the other hand, sat in the guest seat that Tang Xin usually occupied.

When the store is usually empty, Tang Xin would sit in this chair and play games with Leng Shao, while Xiao Mao Yuan would lie on his head or perch on his shoulder.

At this moment, I'm sitting on this chair with my own body, and it feels... kind of strange!

A moment later, Tang Xin brought a slightly sweet latte to Jin Zhiyuan's seat: "I'm sorry, I startled you just now."

Jin Zhiyuan waved his hand: "No, no... um..."

Tang Xin wiped her hands on her apron: "Um... I still don't know your name? Oh, my name is Tang Xin."

"Jin Zhiyuan".

The two extended their hands and shook hands gently.

"...", "..."

"Um, please sit down first..." "The injury on your head..."

Tang Xin, who was turning to walk back to the control panel, stopped: "Huh?"

Jin Zhiyuan bit his lip. "Um, I meant I noticed you have a bandage on your head. Are you injured?"

"Just a minor injury, just a minor injury."

"Oh...are you feeling better now?"

"Almost done." Tang Xin nodded, then made conversation, "You don't live around here, do you? I haven't seen you around here before. Are you visiting a friend?"

"Yes, I'm here to meet a friend."

Tang Xin asked, "Have you seen him?"

"I've already met him," Jin Zhiyuan said, looking at him, and then added, "So I just came over for a cup of coffee, and then I'm about to leave."

"Oh, are you still in school?"

"I'm taking a break from school because I'm going to debut."

"Debut?" Tang Xin looked up. "You're an idol?"

Jin Zhiyuan nodded: "Mhm!"

"My idol..."

Upon hearing the term "idol," Tang Xin quickly searched for the name "Jin Zhiyuan" on her phone.

IVE member, Kim Ji-won.

Is this a rising new girl group?

Tang Xin nodded with a wry smile, his expression inscrutable, and remained silent.

His performance surprised Jin Zhiyuan.

What's wrong with him? Does he hate idols? That can't be right, right? Didn't he go and give massages to Taeyeon and the others?

Could it be that Taeyeon and Yoona treated him badly, causing him to have a negative impression of celebrities?

"Boss, you...don't like being an idol?"

"It's not that I dislike it," Tang Xin shook her head and smiled, "It's just that I feel like we're from different worlds."

No wonder she's so pretty, she's a female idol...

After learning that Jin Zhiyuan was a member of a popular girl group, Tang Xin felt relieved and smiled, saying:

"Some of my clients are idols. Although I talk to them a lot during the service process, I always feel that idols are different from us ordinary people."

Jin Zhiyuan asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Tang Xin said while wiping the workbench:

"You're so beautiful. I'm sure you've heard countless compliments about your looks as you've grown up."

The idol profession is full of good-looking people. Of course, you are different from those of us who have never enjoyed the benefits of good looks.

Fans spend so much money on their idols; if those idols are just like ordinary people, wouldn't all that money be wasted?

Hearing these words, Jin Zhiyuan felt inexplicably angry.

Because she is a very sensitive person, she was able to keenly perceive the arrogance in Tang Xin's words.

This arrogance is baseless and unjustified!

What do Tang Xin's words sound like?

It's like a Jeju Island villager coming to Seoul and spouting nonsense: "Hey~ we country bumpkins are nothing compared to you Seoul urban elites~ We usually just eat oranges, we've never seen so many nice things in big cities~ You Seoulites are different from us Jeju Islanders~ You're all rich, I'm just a country bumpkin, I can't compare~"

The poorer you are, the more arrogant you become!

The more insecure a person is, the more likely they are to develop extreme arrogance in order to protect something within themselves.

This is a self-protective psychological mechanism of the human body, using two completely opposite extreme psychological states to maintain the balance of one's personality.

Is Tang Xin insecure?

Of course he was insecure. There were just too many things he could be insecure about, and his height of 1.7 meters alone had made him insecure for so many years!

These feelings of inferiority fueled his arrogance.

Now, Tang Xin's arrogance has greatly displeased Jin Zhiyuan.

If she didn't know Tang Xin, she could have simply left at this point.

But the Tang Xin she knew wasn't like that! The Tang Xin she knew wouldn't say such sarcastic things to a girl!

So she was very angry.

I was angry because of his arrogance, angry because his behavior was so different from my impression of him, and even a little angry because I felt I had misjudged him.

She stood up and gave Tang Xin a deep look.

Tang Xin noticed the girl biting her lip and her red eyes.

Jin Zhiyuan placed the half-finished cup of coffee on the countertop and said:

"If you think these ideas are correct... then it's different."

After saying this, Jin Zhiyuan bowed slightly, said "Kamsangmida," and then turned and left.

She didn't want to explain, argue, or change Tang Xin's mind.

That's just her personality.

At that moment, the Chinese song playing in the store happened to be "The One I Miss".

Pride often holds people back, making love take a roundabout path...

Watching Jin Zhiyuan's figure, Tang Xin sighed and muttered to herself:

"A, (Closed);"

"B, now, go after her! Don't be a coward who doesn't even dare to get close... The longer you wait, the later it will be!"
