Peninsula: My pet is my idol

Chapter 89 This duck soup gives you energy [Revised] [Vote]

The last day of the Spring Festival.

Tang Xin went downstairs and opened the passenger side door of Pei Xiuzhi's car.

"Noona, what does this mean?" Tang Xin stood outside the passenger side door, looking down at Bae Soo-ji in the driver's seat and asked.

Wearing sunglasses, Bae Suzy picked up a bouquet of flowers from the passenger seat with her right hand and handed it to them, asking, "How is it? Do you like it?"

There's a saying that goes like this: If he's inexperienced in the ways of the world, then show him the wonders of life.

[Extensively deleted and modified sections]

It deserves to be taken seriously.

What a coincidence, Bae Suzy is rich!

And they're not just rich, they're extremely rich!

This was the first time Tang Xin had ever received flowers, and her feelings were quite strange.

What's that saying again? Most men will probably only receive flowers after they're buried.

Of course, it's also possible that some people will insist on saying: "No need, flowers will grow on my own grave!"

How strange. A bouquet of flowers that has no purpose or meaning, yet I feel happy and ashamed because of it?

"Uh—yes—thank you, Nuna, you've gone to so much trouble."

Seeing the expression on Tang Xin's face, Bae Soo-ji knew she had achieved her goal.

Ha, these innocent young boys who have never been in a relationship are the easiest to fool!

"If this bouquet of flowers can bring you even a little bit of happiness at this moment, then its existence has meaning. My feelings are carried by this bouquet of flowers, and if it can make you a little happier, it is also an encouragement to me."

Tang Xin: "————"

Oh no, family members, who can handle this?!

This woman is amazing!

Once inside the car, Tang Xin felt somewhat reserved.

While driving, Bae Suzy chuckled and said, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but every time I see you, I feel like you're getting more handsome and taller little by little. Have you measured your height recently?"

"No," Tang Xin said, "It should be around 188."

"If you grow too tall, it will be tiring for Noona to tilt her head back to kiss you."

"————" Tang Xin remained silent, only a blush spreading across her face.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Myeongdong, Seoul, private restaurant.

Tang Xin and Pei Xiuzhi walked further in, hearing a lot of "old money" laughter along the way.

Bae Suzy, who was wearing makeup, walked inside arm in arm with Tang Xin without any attempt to conceal it.

Huh? Old Qian's laughter? Nobody cares about an actress with Bae Suzy's national popularity?

Oh no—if Musk has to eat a quick meal in this crappy place, he'll probably have to wash dishes in the kitchen!

Oh, sir, this meal must have cost quite a bit!

Once inside the private room, Bae Soo-ji ordered a list of dishes, then handed the menu to Tang Xin, asking, "I ordered some of my favorites for you to try. Do you want anything else?"

Tang Xin opened the menu and found that she couldn't understand it at all; it was all in French!

"This one, this one," he said, pointing randomly to a spot on the menu.

But Bae Suzy covered her mouth and laughed, "Little brother, that's a piano piece."

The waiter left, leaving Tang Xin blushing with embarrassment, and Bae Suzy sitting down next to her.

The woman picked up the shopping bag beside her and placed it on the dining table: "Open it and see, it's a New Year's gift I bought for you."

"Nuna, didn't we agree that I'd treat you today? Why did you buy me a gift?"

"I'm treating you, but you owe me for not letting me into your house last time." Bae Suzy rested one hand on her chin and the back of her other hand on Tang Xin's shoulder, fiddling with his earlobe, which was almost bleeding red. "Gifts are gifts, but I bought them to wish you a Happy New Year."

"But I didn't prepare a gift for you."

"You gave one, didn't you? The essence of a gift is to make the recipient happy. Just sitting here is already a gift in itself!"

Tang Xin: "————"

This is terrible—this woman is too good, wow!

Tang Xin was too embarrassed to accept it, so Pei Xiuzhi took it apart on her own.

The box contained a smartwatch.

A woman dressed in a mature style gently pushed Tang Xin in front of her: "I heard you were looking for a gym when we were chatting before. I usually go to personal training studios, so I won't recommend you go to mine."

Boys should go to places with lots of boys. You should find a gym that suits you.

Here's a watch for you, it'll fit your phone perfectly and can track your heart rate when you exercise.

You should have everything that other boys have.

Tang Xin was indeed looking for a gym near her home. She had casually mentioned it when she was giving Bae Suzy a massage, and she didn't expect Bae Suzy to remember it.

Previously, when he was in the IVE dorm with Ahn Yu-jin, Ahn Yu-jin encouraged him to go to the gym.

That matter bothered him a lot.

I absolutely must train until I can lift Ahn Yoo-jin up with one hand!

You dare underestimate me, you son of a bitch!

Every greyhound dreams of having thin skin!

Seeing the expression on Tang Xin's face at this moment, Bae Soo-ji knew that she had achieved her goal.

Flowers broke down defenses, restaurants broke down defenses, watches broke down defenses.

Learn from this, little girl! If you don't pursue a guy, plenty of others will!

Finding a husband is a matter of individual ability!

What's with this cheap hair tie? Everyone has one, right? Can't you give me something practical and valuable?

A boy's affection is precious; don't waste it with worthless things.

A woman's love is where her money is. Love doesn't require a lot of money, but every moment that touches a man's heart does.

Bae Soo-ji took out her watch and put it on Tang Xin's other wrist.

It was right next to the hair tie, creating a stark contrast.

Bae Soo-ji chuckled to herself: Every time he sees this watch from now on, he'll think of me.

Tang Xin felt unworthy of the honor and hadn't thought that much about it.

He was only thinking about how much the watch was worth, so he could charge less for that part when he collected the treatment fees later.

One should not accept rewards without merit.

This is the most typical male way of thinking, and also a typical example of flawed thinking.

So what? Can't boys be pampered? Is it a boy's fault to be loved?

Tang Xin lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Nuna. A few days ago, you and Yoon-ah came to visit for the New Year, but I didn't let you into my house. I still feel very sorry about that now. It was so rude of me."

"It's okay. Actually, you must have been quite overwhelmed and at a loss back then," Bae Suzy chuckled. "Those girls at your house must have made you feel very awkward."

"Nuna, how do you know it was them who were there back then—"

"That's just a guess. If it were someone else, you wouldn't be so flustered."

Bae Suzy shamelessly plagiarized Lim Chung-ah's words at the time: "I was thinking at the time that if I really liked you, I wouldn't want to cause you trouble at that time."

I believe you will handle everything well. My leaving was to help you; staying would only be a bother.

Tang Xin: "————"

I just hope you won't look so gloomy, and that you can be happier during the Lunar New Year.

Don't frown, I'll be right there.

Tang Xin:

'

ICICICICICIC!!

The feeling of my heart racing was incredibly real.

When Bae Soo-ji's words reached Tang Xin's ears, they were like gentle spring breezes.

His rational mind was telling him: Don't believe her! She's an actress! She's a very good actress!

But his emotions were telling him: Bro, she's different, she really is different! She's truly sincere towards me!

While Tang Xin was struggling with her inner turmoil, Bae Suzy asked, "That rabbit that Yoona unnie gave you before, it shouldn't have caused too much of a smell in your house, right?"

"No, I don't know why I've always heard that rabbits smell bad, but the one Yoona gave me doesn't smell much. The only problem is that it doesn't like to eat vegetables."

"Huh? Rabbits don't like vegetables? They don't eat carrots or anything like that either?"

"It loves to eat meat and carbohydrates, but if you put a bunch of vegetables in front of it, it won't chew them."

During the meal, Bae Suzy, who loves to drink, was also busy.

They repeatedly urged Tang Xin to drink.

Tang Xin was not a good drinker and didn't want to drink.

However, Bae Suzy kept urging him to drink, even bringing up arguments like, "You invited me to dinner today to apologize for what happened the other day, but you're not drinking?"

Unfortunately, after a few drinks, Tang Xin's face began to flush.

Bae Suzy didn't even order sake or beer, but rather a sweet wine that was like a little sweet drink.

These types of wines, with a lot of added sugar, are not harsh or burning on the palate, making it easy to drink too many glasses after one.

Seeing Tang Xin gradually go from being urged to drink to picking up the glass herself, Bae Soo-ji chuckled inwardly.

She reached behind Tang Xin and wrapped her arms around his waist.

She bent her leg and rested it on Tang Xin's thigh.

She rested her chin on his shoulder for a moment.

During the meal, he practically clung to Tang Xin.

Under the influence of alcohol, Tang Xin said some things she wouldn't normally say: "Nuna, I want to ask you a question."

"you say."

"Noona is an actress; she can act like she likes someone. But what if others can't tell if that liking is real or fake? Aren't those people who mistakenly think Noona likes them innocent? Noona, don't you think this causes trouble for others?"

"Ah~" Bae Suzy looked at him with a smile.

The boy turned his head to the other side.

"Would you like me to tell you a clever way to tell them apart?"

"Everyone has a bottom line. The more one breaks down in one area, the more one will try to protect it in another," Bae Suzy chuckled. "It's like female idols who wear very little on stage, but like to cover themselves up completely in their private clothes."

"Just like male idols who are afraid of being called effeminate for wearing heavy makeup, they secretly indulge in building muscles and exercising to demonstrate their masculinity."

[Deleted/Edited Section]

"Um----"

"Just like actors might act out intimate scenes for work purposes, but they wouldn't readily give their hearts away."

"Actresses are extremely concerned about their emotional boundaries, more cautious than you can imagine, and are very vigilant."

"6

"If someone is willing to be honest with you, that's true sincerity. If they aren't, that's pretense."

"Do you understand?"

Tang Xin blushed and said, "Mmm."

Tang Xin, who was always drunk, felt that she really couldn't drink anymore, otherwise she would not be able to go home.

When the waiter came over with the bill, the amount was shocking.

I can afford it, but it's so expensive.

Bae Soo-ji was willing to pay the bill, after all, she didn't care about the meal. She just wanted to use the ambiance and price to scare Tang Xin and make her lose her composure.

"Nuna, this meal was supposed to be on me, let me pay."

Bae Suzy chuckled and tried to take the bill from his hand: "Just add one more treatment for me, okay? Let's see each other more often then, shall we?"

Tang Xin, holding the bill, had his choice—

"A, insist on settling the bill, not giving Bae Soo-ji the chance to have additional treatments; (Bae Soo-ji's storyline is on the verge of being severed)"

"B, by letting go naturally, Bae Suzy's treatment time will increase; (Bae Suzy's storyline will be expanded)"
