Peninsula: My pet is my idol

Tang Xin's expression was not pleasant, and Master He naturally noticed it as well.

The latter paused for a moment, then continued:

"You won't understand matters of the heart unless you experience them yourself."

The partner you believe you can spend your whole life with may break up after a year or two.

When you're young, you're easily controlled by your hormones, and when you fall in love, you feel like your partner is an angel.

But there aren't that many perfect people in this world; that's just an illusion.

You absolutely won't listen to what I'm saying now.

But one day, you will understand.

Do you think that having ambiguous relationships with many girls is a kind of vain and arrogant indulgence?

Actually it is not.

You decided on someone too early, and felt too early that you were destined to grow old together...

That is true arrogance, arrogance toward one's own destiny.

However, there's one thing you've always done correctly.

"What?"

"Let's make money first." Speaking of money, Master He sighed slightly and lowered his voice as he said:

"My disciple, there's something I've been thinking about lately..."

My master and I were both legal practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China, and we were able to treat and save lives in a legal and compliant manner.

Now that we're in South Korea, by practicing medicine illegally, our income is more than ten times what it was in China...

"It's great that my income has increased, but it's too unstable..."

Tang Xin had a bad feeling. She swallowed and asked, "Master, you...?"

"Lately, I've been wanting to start my own business or do something. I'm in my fifties now, which is the perfect time to take risks!"

Tang Xin complained, "Where else are you going, Master? We should just be happy making more money in Korea. You've really let yourself go since you came here! You're over fifty, take it easy..."

"Tsk, being a traditional Chinese medicine doctor doesn't seem exciting enough..." Master He tugged at his goatee and said, "How about we set up something like the Sun Yee On or Sun Wo Luen Shing in Korea? I'll hold the dragon head staff for the first term, and I'll fully support you as the leader next time?"

Tang Xin refused, saying, "No, I don't have the habit of wearing a helmet when fishing or riding in a car..."

Master He laughed heartily, "You still know Park Hoon-jung, the director of 'New World,' don't you? Look at Jung Chung and Lee Ja-sung, how impressive they are!"

"What goes around comes around, Master."

"If you're afraid of 'repaying,' then don't be in this business." Master He tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice:

"Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are essentially skilled service providers, like herbivores."

Those who constantly scheme against each other based on power and resources are carnivores.

Can't we...be omnivores?

"Eat grass when there's grass, eat meat when there's meat."

"Omnivorous... Pigs?"

Master He: "..."

"We at Dongda University say, 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.'"

Jin Yong said that the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. Doctors are actually not much different.

A junior doctor with medical skills heals the sick and saves lives. A "great doctor" is one who can govern the world and save the people.

"My apprentice, I've always felt... that studying medicine can't save South Korea!"

Tang Xin nearly popped his eyes out, cursing, "Old man! You haven't been completely assimilated by that Korean old man's positive energy injection, have you?! You're a Dong Daren, what the hell are you saving, Korea?!"

"Tsk, you don't understand! There are too many scoundrels among the South Korean elites!" Master He sighed. "The thought that a bunch of scoundrels who can't even get money through politics can still exploit South Korea makes me anxious! I really want to join them!"

Tang Xin: ?

Okay, okay, so this is how you save South Korea, right?

"Master, you're starting to look like a politician. What you say is completely different from what you think."

"Can what's said out loud really be considered what's on your mind?" Master He raised his glass.

The master and apprentice clinked their glasses and said in unison:

"Disgusting!"

……

South Korea gives a three- or four-day holiday during the Lunar New Year, but the streets and alleys don't celebrate the Lunar New Year.

They steal while simultaneously neglecting their responsibilities.

For Koreans, Lunar New Year is like Thanksgiving for Dongda University students.

Actually, Koreans themselves know that this thing can't be stolen. They just simply enjoy being annoying and like to disgust Dong Daren.

Koreans don't celebrate Lunar New Year, but people at Dongda University in South Korea do.

However, this time, the master and apprentice did not meet in private.

Master He spent the Spring Festival with Tang Xin, Kang Yangyang, and some of his close friends in the medical field.

This is also an occasion for masters to pass on their connections to their apprentices; it is a "meaningful" social interaction.

Even though Tang Xin is somewhat introverted and doesn't like these kinds of social occasions, she still has to come.

Master He can use his connections to become sworn brothers with the top executives of major hospitals in Seoul. Tang Xin can also use his connections, so going to these hospitals will be like visiting an uncle or aunt.

The three of them drank until they were slightly tipsy, and then they were taken back to Tang Xin's home.

Master He planned to have a few more drinks with the two younger men; it's the New Year, so they had to drink until they were happy.

However, when the three of them opened the door to Tang Xin's house, their smiles all turned into confusion.

In the living room.

It's a bit strange.

Tang Xin was dumbfounded. The IVE golden trio was here. They might have come to pay a New Year's visit. They knew my house password, which made sense.

But... can anyone explain this to me...?

Why are Liu Zhimin and Xiaoyinghua in my house too?

I recognize Miyawaki Sakura, but I really don't know Miyawaki Sakura... What is this person doing at my house?

Huh? Kim Ji-won isn't here... Damn it! Why is she even here?! Isn't this chaotic enough already?!

The five people in the living room were all sprawled out, playing on their phones.

Seeing the door open, all five of them turned their heads to look.

Ignoring the five people's greetings, Master He's smile faded, and he looked at Kang Yangyang:

"Oh dear, I'm getting old, a little alcohol and I can't handle it anymore. My dear niece, help this old man home!"

Kang Yangyang, dressed in her finest attire, sobered up instantly upon seeing this scene in the living room.

He decisively turned his head and helped Master He to walk out.

However, the two who tried to run away were caught by Tang Xin, who had realized what was happening and chased after them.

"Master! Save me! Brother Kang! Save me! My right eyelid is twitching uncontrollably; something bad is definitely going to happen!"

His eyes were filled with a strong will to survive.

Master He: "Young friend, I have never met you before. What do you mean by this? Besides, your right eyelid twitching is a sign of a problem with your nerves. Don't be superstitious!"

Kang Yangyang: "Men and women shouldn't touch each other! If you grab me again, I'll report you for XSR!"

Tang Xin exclaimed anxiously, "How can you two be so disloyal! My house has become like a spider's web; I'm too scared to go in!"

Just then, Tang Xin's phone rang.

……

One hour ago.

The three members of IVE, who rarely get a few days off during the Lunar New Year, finally have some free time.

Jin Zhiyuan was worried that Tang Xin would be too lonely living alone in a foreign country, so he decided to come and visit her.

Zhang, the suspect who left the strawberries, readily agreed.

The suspect, An, who had kissed the boy's Adam's apple, readily agreed.

Jin Asong, who had never even held hands with Tang Xin, felt that his two teammates were really understanding.

Since they had decided to give Tang Xin a surprise, the three of them decided to bring Liu Zhimin and Xiao Yinghua along as well.

After all, the two people who came later had never been to Tang Xin's house.

The three of them set off first, opening Tang Xin's door with practiced ease, as if they were returning to their own home.

Liu Ying and her companion arrived shortly after.

They meant well by coming to spend the Spring Festival with Tang Xin, but...

What a coincidence!

Yoona and Suzy think the same way!

……

"Hey? Tang Xin? Don't you live in this apartment building?"

"yes…"

Yoona's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You should be home now, right? Suzy and I bought you a rabbit as a New Year's gift. It's in the underground parking lot of your apartment building. If you're home, could you help me come down and move the terrarium?"

Tang Xin's heart was filled with alarm bells, and she said in a trembling voice:

"A: 'I'm not home, Nuna! My master and I are outside!'; (Three-way battle)"

"B, 'Nuna, can we reschedule? My house is so crowded right now, there might not be any seats...'" (Five generations in conflict)

"C, 'Nuna, you two don't need to come up! I'll treat you two to dinner!'; (Lin Pei and his companion have a deep conversation about something risqué)"
