Peninsula: My pet is my idol

Tang Xin's nosebleed startled Lin Yoona.

The latter quickly grabbed a bunch of tissues to wipe his nosebleed.

Tang Xin pressed several acupoints on her body to stop the bleeding.

After finally stopping the bleeding, Yoona remarked quietly, "I didn't have a nosebleed when I was massaging Noona's legs, but now I have one after just talking to her."

Tang Xin's nose started bleeding again.

"Nuna, shut up, or I'll die here!"

"Okay, okay, you're so easily teased."

Tang Xin knew that his nosebleeds weren't just because of Lin Yoona; life energy was causing changes in his body.

In addition, he has been eating a lot of meat lately, which is too nourishing.

Yoona's words were the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing him to have a nosebleed.

Having finally stopped the nosebleed, Tang Xin retorted:

"Nuna, why don't you go and find a serious relationship..."

The meaning is clear: Please let me go.

The shrewd Lim Yoona, however, seemed not to understand and said:

"I'd like to, but do you know how good actors the men in this industry are?"

"actor?"

"You can act even if you're not an actress," Lim Yoona said with a smile.

"How do you distinguish between someone's good qualities—is it acting skills or genuine sincerity?"

"Like now..."

Yoona turned to the side, bracing herself with her hand to get closer to Tang Xin, her chin resting on his shoulder again: "How can you tell if this is my acting or my true feelings?"

"Acting skills." Tang Xin replied without hesitation.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because the last person who showed off their acting skills in front of me got beaten up by me, I now have the urge to beat up Noona, so it must be acting skills."

Im Yoon-a: "..."

"A violent maniac," she muttered.

Tang Xin, however, ignored everything and kept grilling and eating meat.

Yoona exclaimed, "Wow, I only took one bite, and you've eaten so much!"

"The chopsticks and plate are right in front of you, Nuna. You can pick them up yourself."

"I'm treating you to dinner, I'm the big spender, what kind of service is this, huh?"

Tang Xin ignored it.

Then, Lin Yoona began to speak in Tang Xin's ear in that sickeningly sweet, boyish voice:

"Oppa~ Aren't you going to give Yoona any meat? Oppa~"

Tang Xin blushed again, "Give me some, eat up!"

Hahaha~

Tang Xin was exhausted from the meal; his head was dizzy from the rush of blood, and the pores on his head opened to dissipate heat.

After they finished eating, the two did not rush home.

After walking out of the store, Lim Yoona took off her beanie and put it on Tang Xin's head.

"Nuna?"

Yoona looked up and smiled, "Your face is still red. Wear it, or you'll catch a cold."

Tang Xin: "..."

At that moment, he was speechless.

His previous belief was: "When you're in a relationship, you should date someone younger! No way is a relationship between an older woman and a younger man; even a dog wouldn't date that!"

He admitted that he had been too pretentious in the past.

My sister looks really fragrant and beautiful!

"What? Did your heart skip a beat? Hmm?" Yoona smiled, her eyes narrowed.

"No." Tang Xin looked away.

"You're not being honest, Oppa?" Im Yoona laughed. "I ate a bit too much, how about we take a walk together to digest?"

"No, I want to go home..." Tang Xin tried to pull her arm out of Lin Yun'er's arms.

"There's no one waiting for you at home, why are you coming home so early?"

"My three pets are waiting for me."

"Then let them wait a little longer." Yoona grabbed his arm and pulled him away. "Let's go!"

By removing her beanie, Lin Yoona essentially doubled the risk of exposing herself, which gave Tang Xin a different feeling.

Let's walk together on the streets of Seoul, oh oh oh~ until all the lights go out and we still don't stop~ You'll hold my sleeve, and I'll put my hands in my pockets~

At this moment, Yoona felt like a middle-aged man teasing an innocent young girl, and this unique feeling triggered a surge of dopamine in her.

My mood improved a lot without me even realizing it.

A person's threshold increases with more social experience.

Looking back, it seems like it's been a long time since I've experienced such a long period of joy.

He stayed with Tang Xin, even though he didn't do anything.

But the emotional value he evoked from his embarrassed appearance was more than enough.

As people age, their hormone levels decline, their emotions become more subdued, and their reactions become slower.

Now, according to the Korean age system, Lim Yoon-a is 34 years old and no longer smiles as frequently as she did ten years ago.

Nowadays, she presents herself more as a gentle and intellectual woman.

Teasing Tang Xin, on the contrary, made her feel happy and amused, something she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Taeyeon unnie, how about younger men?

The New Year is so great!

I used to think you weren't as happy as I imagined, but now I understand. Taeyeon unnie, I couldn't have imagined your happiness!

Lin Yoona linked arms with Tang Xin, and the two strolled slowly through the streets of Seoul on a snowy winter night.

As they walked slowly, Tang Xin suddenly asked, "Nuna, I really don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?" Im Yoona asked with a smile.

Aren't you afraid that one day I might actually fall in love with you?

She paused for a moment, then joked, "Didn't you say... that the worst thing you can do in your line of work is to fall in love with a client?"

Tang Xin nodded in realization: "Ah~ it's acting skills~"

This time, Yoona didn't respond; she just smiled.

"Nu is a bad woman."

"I'm giving you a head start on your dating lessons, otherwise you'll suffer a lot when you meet a truly bad woman later," Yoona laughed. "Real bad women love to trick young guys like you who blush easily when teased."

"Just like what Nuna is doing now?"

Yoona asked softly, "Are you disappointed?"

"No, I'm honored." Tang Xin stopped and turned to look directly at Lin Yoona's eyes and eyebrows above her mask, and smiled, "Noona's acting skills are indeed as good as I praised."

Lin Yoona was unaware of Tang Xin's past experiences.

She had no idea who she was facing.

A person who, having nowhere else to turn, disregards their dignity and begs for help.

A person who, despite lacking the intrinsic motivation from their family, still studies with all their might.

A person who spent the entire summer vacation at a logistics park right after finishing the college entrance examination.

Master He's assessment of Tang Xin was correct; he was indeed a tough nut to crack.

Life and fate may oppress him, but even if he is forced to his knees, he will still shout "Go to hell!"

Such people should not have their competitive spirit provoked.

If Lin Yoona tells some insincere lies, Tang Xin might mistake them for love and slowly fall for her.

but now……

Lin Yoona aroused Tang Xin's competitive spirit.

After confirming that Yoona's various physical advances were not out of romantic feelings, Tang Xin seemed relieved and became more confident.

I knew it, I knew it...

Im Yoon-a's affection? Haha, give me a break. Such an illusory thing is definitely not something I can obtain.

His inferiority complex told him: You are just a plaything she played with on a whim.

This idea sparked Tang Xin's interest in the underlying code, immediately bringing him to his senses.

Lin Yoona sensed that Tang Xin seemed to have undergone some inexplicable change, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

So she tentatively asked, "Actually, you're disappointed, aren't you?"

Tang Xin laughed and was about to say "no," but Lin Yoona's next move made him stiffen again.

Inside his down jacket pocket, a cold, thin hand took his hand.

The woman's hand was in the boy's pocket.

Their fingers were intertwined.

"What is acting, and what is sincerity? Can you really tell the difference, Oppa?"
