The Life of 'Core' in Korean Dramas

Stewed red sea bream, fish cake, natto, radish cubes and radish leaves, fried corn with egg cream, stewed vermicelli with enoki mushroom, spicy cabbage with pear juice, cucumber with knife, lettuce with oyster sauce, etc. Today, the dishes on the Cui family’s table are both staple food and side dishes There are too many to dazzle people, but compared with the previous happy atmosphere, there is a lot of stalemate.

Shun Ren picked up a few mouthfuls of food, looked around at the two children puzzledly, and then looked at Dugu Min'er, who was dumbfounded, and asked, "What's wrong with you, you're always arguing all over the meal, why are you so quiet today? Isn't the food delicious?" He added a piece of radish and put it in his mouth.

The few people sitting around the table hurriedly nodded and picked up vegetables to eat, only Bai Shengzu and Han Zhenying were never affected.

Bai Shengzu has been eating with a blank face from the beginning of the meal, among which he picks up lettuce in oyster sauce and stewed vermicelli.Most of the Bai family eats Western-style meals. Even if it is hard to find Korean food, it will eventually become Huang Jinxi-style meals under Huang Jinxi's strange thinking. Therefore, he eats less authentic Korean staple food and is somewhat fresh. The most important thing is that those side dishes are very fresh and refreshing.

Yin Enxi sat cautiously, rolled his eyes, put the cucumber into his mouth and said to Shun Ren: "Well, this cucumber is sour and crunchy, delicious! Shun Ren's mother is amazing!"

Cui Zhongzhe snorted coldly.Since he saw Yin Enxi after returning home, his expression was not very good. He seemed to bite someone after eating. Dugu Min'er pulled his clothes under the table and asked him to help pick up the natto and cucumber and then said I feel better after a conversation.

Bai Shengzu watched Cui Zhongzhe's movements, stared at the two people with a good atmosphere, thought for a while, and put the radish in his own bowl on Cui Xinai's rice, the atmosphere that had just been mobilized at the dinner table instantly condensed again--

"Hey, hey, hey! Boy, why are you picking up vegetables for Xinai?!"

"You put that radish piece on her rice from your own bowl, is that okay?"

"Brat! Radish cubes are the most nutritious food, don't be picky eaters!"

"...(stare)" → This is Han Zhenying.

Cui Xinai looked at Bai Shengzu, who aroused the anger of the crowd, ignoring their dissatisfaction, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vermicelli and spicy cabbage, chewed a few mouthfuls, and then picked up a spoon to fill natto and corn, licked his lips, and brought Not obviously satisfied, he turned his head and said to her: "Well, fried corn with eggs is fine, but spicy cabbage with pear juice is a bit spicy, and the taste of radish is still very strange."

Cui Xinai glanced at the family members with strange eyes, resisted the urge to tap Bai Shengzu's head and said, "If you think it tastes good, eat more! Also, the carrots are already blanched!"

“Small dishes are not the same as those in the restaurant.”

"Of course! How can the dishes they make compare with the dishes I make by hand!"

"Well, it's delicious."

Cui Zhongzhe, who had already lost his sight, changed his previous approval, and immediately replied with a fake smile: "It's uneasy for a weasel to pay a New Year's greeting to a chicken. What do you want to do by praising our family's love of cooking so desperately? It's useless, boy, Our family loves to only cook for our family, don't think too much about those things that you have and don't have, just dream!"

----------------------

"Hello? Is this Yin Enxi's family?"

"Ah? What?! Kidnapping, what kidnapping?!"

"Hello? Hello? Did you make a mistake? Are you from Yin Enxi's family? Hello..."

Cui Xinai, who took Bai Shengzu downstairs to send him back, went down to the entrance of the corridor and heard Shun Renzai talking on the phone in a daze and annoyance. Hearing her reply, she knew that the people over there might have misunderstood something.Turning her head and signaling Bai Shengzu to wait with her eyes, Cui Xinai walked over and asked Shunren to pass the microphone.

"Where is Enxi! Why did you take my Enxi away! Please let Enxi go quickly, she will be afraid that she will cry, ah, you want money, right? How much! I will give you whatever amount! Please let her go!"

"Is it Enxi? My mother asked me to say, give it to me!"

"Go away! My Enxi, oh my Enxi... woo woo..."

A woman's sharp cries came from the other end of the phone, which was mixed with the sound of things falling and servants' exclamations, and then the messy footsteps turned into two men's intertwined comforting sounds and the woman's suppressed crying. , Cui Xinai couldn't help removing the microphone and rolled her eyes, and without waiting, she raised her voice and asked, "Hi! Hello, is this the Yin family? We are from the Cui family in Korea. I am Cui Xinai. Excuse me. "Finding a moment of silence in the microphone, knowing that they were surprised by Cui's surname and her name, Cui Xin'ai had a sense of accomplishment for a successful prank, and smiled. "Are you looking for Yin Enxi? I ​​ran into her on the way home today. I don't know why she was sitting in the park alone. I asked her why she didn't go home and didn't call you, and she looked very sad. , My mother and I both estimated that she might have run away from home after arguing with you for some reason, and I was afraid that you would be worried, so I let you know. Also, when will you come to pick her up? Our house is really not good. Big, she won't get used to it even if she lives there."

After the silence, a reckless male voice rushed out from the other end of the phone: "Is Enxi here now? Is she okay? What is your address? I'll be there right away!" Cui Xinai raised her eyebrows, wondering if it was Yin Junxi who spoke, There was another change on the other end of the phone. After a sound of beating, a calm male voice changed: "Sorry, the dog is too rude."

"It's okay, it's understandable to worry about your family."

"Really..." came from the phone with a low sigh, and after a long silence, Professor Yin asked with a little bewilderment: "Are you Xinai?"

"Yes, I'm Cui Xin'ai." Cui Xin'ai lowered her eyelids and asked calmly: "You are Yin Enxi's father, right? I remember hearing about it when I was in junior high school. I heard that you are a professor. You are very good. Do you know me?"

A few bland questions made Professor Yin, who was across the Pacific Ocean, feel as if he had been punched hard twice, with severe chest pain.He shook his hands and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, thinking that this was my daughter, but his limbs became weaker and weaker.Leaning on the sofa, he tried for a long time before uttering the word um.

Mother Yin kept staring at Professor Yin, and when she saw that he was silent, she rushed over and pulled his clothes and asked, "What! What's the matter? Where's Enxi, is there any news about Enxi?!" After hiding a few times, Professor Yin I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted "Enough!" and pushed her away.

After a long time of no response, Cui Xinai called out tentatively, "Professor Yin?"

"Ah, Xinai,..., it's nothing. I'm sorry that I was rude and didn't introduce..."

After suppressing his emotions and making a simple self-introduction, Professor Yin thanked Shunren and Cui Xinai first, and then said: "I feel very relieved that Enxi is at your house now, and I know you will take good care of her. And Please rest assured, we will definitely come over as soon as possible to bring her back, I am really, extremely sorry for the troubles caused to you during this time."

"Well, it's okay. You come here as soon as possible. She is having trouble with you. If she finds out that you are back, I can't guarantee that she will sneak away when she finds out. After all, we all have to work and go to class, so we don't have extra time to watch over she."

"Yes, yes....Didn't...Eunxi say something strange? Or, did something strange?"

"Strange words or strange things? No, it's just that she was very excited when talking about her brother. It's really rare. They used to have a very good relationship."

"Like This."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Professor Yin didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be disappointed, and sat in a daze, but Cui Xin'ai, no matter how complicated his mood was, clarified everything and hung up the phone quickly.

"Okay, people from Yin's family will arrive around tomorrow evening." After talking to Shun Ren who was standing by and waiting, Cui Xinai waved and walked out of the house with Bai Shengzu.

During the day, the sky is bright, but at night it turns gloomy, with only a few or two stars on the gloomy sky.

The street lamp silently cast dim light, walking quietly on the road, hearing the sound of shoes knocking on the floor, Cui Xinai didn't know what to say for a while, and didn't want to speak.

At the intersection, Cui Xinai turned sideways and said, "I'll take you here, and you can take a taxi on the opposite side."

Bai Shengzu nodded silently, but stood still, with no intention of leaving.Cui Xinai wanted to say something else, but at this moment, he reached out and stroked her eyebrows, brushed his fingertips lightly to calm the hill between her eyebrows, and then slid towards the tip of her eyebrows.In the dazed gaze, his slightly cold magnetic voice sounded slowly: "Don't frown, it won't look good."

Cui Xinai turned her head to look at the car dealerships on the street. After a long time, she made up her mind and asked, "Have you ever heard the story of the Korean version of the civet cat changing the prince?"

"Isn't the civet cat changing the prince a Chinese Peking opera?"

"I'm talking about the story of the beggar prince." South Korea's adaptation of the story from China is nothing more than a change of name, but the civet cat is changed into a baby that was picked up and raised as a prince, while the real prince was killed. People are secretly taken away and become beggars, and finally the truth is revealed and everyone returns to the happy ending.

Bai Shengzu nodded. "have."

"Then what do you think, at the end of the civet cat and the prince's ending, I mean it's good or not for them to return to each other in the end."

"It depends."

"What's the situation?!" Cui Xinai asked.Every time she thinks about this question, she can't get an exact answer, just like she always dissatisfied with Yin Enxi who always uses her own ideas to implement things that she thinks are upright, noble, and absolutely correct. Cui Xinai sometimes thinks: She thinks This should be done, but do other people think the same way—such as Shunren and Cui Zhongzhe, in fact, they have the right to know the truth and make choices.

And her actions are, in a way, deprivation.

Bai Shengzu looked down at Cui Xin'ai, and when she started to worry, he took her with his right hand and looked at Cui Xin'ai's left hand many times from the corner of his eye. After holding her palm to calm her down, he said, "First, suppose In the past, the two of them existed as simple princes and beggars, with no one interfering with each other. Then after 20 years, according to their living habits and cultivated minds, there is an 80.00% possibility that they will not be able to get used to the original state of mind. It should belong to their lives, light adaptation is a problem, not to mention letting the prince who can only beg to be competent for state affairs; second, suppose they live the life of a prince or beggar but someone interferes, such as someone in the palace or If you encounter other nobles who are secretly taught, then the possibility of a successful exchange after 20 years will increase by [-]%. Third, these assumptions are the results obtained after excluding all factors and obstacles, regardless of the consequences, and if there is something like a prince in the middle I don’t want to be a prince at all, beggars are ambitious, or the king doesn’t agree, or the mother kills me, etc., there will be more possibilities.”

Hello!She also knew that she was asking if the conclusion was good!Cui Xinai glared at the past, gritted her teeth and asked, "So?"

"So?" Bai Shengzu replied indifferently: "So this is a possible question."

"Then do you agree that they should go to their places, or do you think it is better for them to continue with their current lives?"

"do not know."

Cui Xin'ai didn't react to what was said before, but there was such a sentence later, and Cui Xin'ai was a little unresponsive, with obvious astonishment flashing in her eyes.Bai Shengzu looked at her charming eyes that looked even more confused under the light, nodded, and replied, "Well, I'm not them."

No one knows what's best for them but themselves -- not even their own biological parents who decide for them.

Seeing Bai Shengzu's meaning, Cui Xin'ai asked again: "Then... if there is a wrong thing, this mistake has happened for many, many years, once it is told, many people will be hurt, then what is the truth? Is it better to spread it in the sun or let the secret rot in the ground. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

"There has never been a way to have the best of both worlds." Bai Shengzu's expression and tone of voice were extremely calm, and one's heart would gradually calm down when listening to him, as if nothing could disturb it. "This is the same as the problem of the beggar prince. You can only choose between two ends of the balance, and no matter which side you go to, one side is destined to lose weight."

Cui Xinai clenched her right hand into a fist and placed it next to her mouth, thinking.

Time passed slowly, the clock turned from six to ten, she slowly raised her eyes, and asked helplessly: "I suddenly think you are very cute, my heart is exploding, what should I do?"

"what?"

"You like me, right." Originally, Cui Xinai wanted to confirm this matter slowly, but now she feels that some of Bai Shengzu's habits are actually very good, and it's worth learning from time to time.

Although his ears turned red because of that sentence of liking, Bai Shengzu's attitude was still calm and calm, looking directly into Cui Xin'ai's eyes, he said directly and frankly: "Yes."

"I thought with your character, if it was, you would tell me directly."

"Yes." Bai Shengzu nodded, then shook his head: "I'm waiting." Waiting for you to understand me, waiting for you to adapt to me, waiting for you to get used to me.

"Wait?" Cui Xinai was puzzled, and then suddenly realized: Yes, the college entrance examination is coming soon, falling in love really delays study!In this way, besides being cute, this person is also reliable!Cui Xinai, who was in a good mood, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Before the college entrance examination, I really don't plan to have a boyfriend, but..."

Without giving Bai Shengzu time to understand, Cui Xinai leaned over and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you can pick me up from school."

Hey, hey, so bloody, so bloody, but writing this for Mao Daozi would be so exciting!
