Miss First Love [A Gentleman's Dignity]

The Institute of Water Ecology of Japan's Jeco Co., Ltd. where Kim Eun-hee works is a leader in the industry, and many research results are world-leading, so the Ministry of the Environment of Korea condescends to cooperate with it.

She has always believed that being able to join this company requires not only professional skills, but also luck.Her undergraduate graduation project happened to be the professional direction that the company needed at that time, so she was lucky to stand out from the crowd of talents.

As a single mother, her energy was inevitably divided by other aspects of her life.But the head of the class did not suppress her because of this, and would actively think of her when there was a good opportunity.

Just like the Cheonggyecheon project in South Korea, she participated in this large-scale international cooperation project, and her resume has added a brilliant touch.The head of the section had hinted to her in private that with this experience, he would be able to promote her as his successor after he was promoted to minister.She will become the youngest female middle-level leader of the company, and her annual salary will be tripled.

The head of the section asked her to sort out the information on Qingxichuan, and will hold several reports within the club in the near future.A cooperative company from the United States will come to Japan for exchanges in the near future, and may hold a symposium with them, and she will present the results as a representative of their department at the meeting.So Jin Enxi has been busy these days sorting out information, writing reports, and making presentations.

Firstly, this is a professional job she likes, and secondly, she is grateful to the head of the department for his kindness to her. She has been working hard and striving for perfection.But these days when she was about to leave work, she was still at work, and her heart had already flown home.The job I always liked seems to have become less attractive.

Just when she was about to turn off the computer and go home, the class leader called her to the office and told her that the symposium with the American company would be held tomorrow, so that she could make full preparations tonight.

This is a good opportunity, but before Jin Enxi had time to jump for joy, another emotion hit his heart, which seemed to be melancholy.The time to meet Kim Do-jin is less and less every day, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, he will return to Korea.Before that, they hadn't had time to create enough happy memories, and for some reason, her heart was occupied by the bitterness of parting before they parted.

With these worries in mind, Jin Enxi's steps home became heavy.

"Did you work hard today? Your expression doesn't look good." Although Jin Eunxi paid attention to managing her expression, Jin Daozhen still noticed her depressed mood.

Jin Enxi covered his face in a concealed manner, and said with a smile: "Is your complexion very bad? The saying about Black Friday is really true. I feel that I can't continue to work when it comes to Friday every week. And now I am also getting old. , maintenance is really necessary.”

Jin Daozhen raised his eyebrows, "Is it maintenance, the kind that challenges the flexibility limit of the human body on the mat every morning."

"Yoga! That's not maintenance, that's my practice. Yoga is the practice of ancient Indian philosophers, don't you know?" Jin Enxi explained solemnly.

"Practice!" Jin Daozhen thought 'I don't know if you are practicing or I am practicing', and said with a pun: "It is practice."

Jin Enxi didn't know why, so he nodded.

Jin Daozhen went to the kitchen and put on an apron. Jin Eunxi looked at him suspiciously, and he explained: "You worked hard today, I rested at home for a day, and I was a little too energetic. So I came to make dinner and stretch my muscles. You Sit aside and rest."

"Can you cook?" Jin Enxi doubted.

Jin Daozhen took out a bag of pasta from the refrigerator, and said proudly: "Tomato Chicken Pasta, my repertoire. I made it for Cui Yun and the others once, and you don't know how many years they can't forget it!"

Jin Eunxi smiled and said, "Really? Now I'm really looking forward to it."

Jin Daozhen's knife skills are really good. Tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers are cut into pieces, shredded into shreds, and diced into dices. They are cut quickly and evenly.After everything was cut, Jin Daozhen glanced at Jin Enxi proudly, and Jin Enxi extended his thumb in time to give him a thumbs up.

While the noodles were cooking in the pot, Jin Daozhen glanced at Jin Enxi from time to time, but was caught by Jin Enxi, he simply said: "Today, the committee member of the community self-government committee came to visit."

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, it means that disaster prevention is thoughtful, and a leaflet has been distributed."

Jin Enxi said: "It's here so soon, so Colin will start school soon."

Jin Daozhen moved the cut side dishes to the plate one by one, squinted at Jin Enxi, and said, "I served her in the name of Colin's father."

Jin Enxi looked at his cautious look, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, I didn't lie, why did it seem like I was looking at me."

Hearing this, Jin Daozhen looked up at Jin Enxi and saw her expression clearly.He took the noodles out of the pot, poured out the water, added oil to it, and then poured in the side dishes to fry.

While cooking, Jin Daozhen said, "It's fine if you don't mind. I told her that I would stay here for a while, so she recommended me and you to take Colin to experience the Disaster Prevention Museum. Tomorrow is the weekend..."

"Not tomorrow," Jin Enxi interrupted: "I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow I will hold a symposium with a partner company in the United States, and I will present the results."

Jin Daozhen left the spatula in the pot, walked to the front of Enxi at the bar on the left, and looked at her with an aggrieved expression: "What kind of company is so cruel, and it won't let others reunite when you leave your family. With so much time, you have to Choose weekends and work overtime with other company employees."

Jin Eunxi also curled his lips and shrugged.He also said: "Go on Sunday, there should be time that day."

Jin Daozhen looked rejoicing, "Fortunately, there are two days on the weekend." He went back to the pot and started to stir-fry. When he was done, he poured out the side dishes and poured them on the surface, and asked tentatively, "Is it because Just curious, does everyone in your community know Danny?"

Jin Enxi looked at his performance that was trying to cover up, held back a smile, and replied: "Well, I have seen it a few times, so I will introduce it."

"How did you introduce it?" Jin Daozhen asked immediately.

Kim Eun-hee replied: "College classmate, friend."

Jin Daozhen wiped off the edge of the plate that was stained with sauce with a rag, and continued to ask: "I really asked out of curiosity, so do all of your colleagues know Danny?"

Jin Enxi nodded: "Well, we had dinner together."

Jin Daozhen couldn't help but look at Jin Enxi accusingly, Jin Enxi raised a finger and added: "Just once."

Jin Daozhen didn't want to talk at all, he brought the noodles to the table and shouted loudly: "Colin, come out and eat."

Looking at Jin Daozhen's sulky back, Jin Enxi only felt a wave of honey flow into his heart, sweeping away the depression before going home.

After dinner, Jin Daozhen said to Colin: "Your mother will work overtime tomorrow, so I will take you out to play tomorrow and buy a guitar by the way. I will go to the museum with my mother the day after tomorrow." He added: "Tomorrow I will take the camera out , Remember to dress up handsomely. Of course, no matter how you dress up, you will not be more handsome than me, as long as you grow up."

Colin despised: "You're still handsome, last time my classmates said you were very old, like a strange uncle."

Jin Dao said firmly: "Really, how did I hear that I am very young and very handsome."

After Colin introduced Kim Do-jin to You and Shinichi that afternoon, they really praised Kim Do-jin for being so young.Because Yu is the youngest son in the family, and his eldest brother takes care of him, one can imagine how old his father is.And Shinichi's father is a Ph.D., and Shinichi was born at Jin Daozhen's current age, so he is naturally much older than Jin Daozhen.

Yuu and Shinichi also told Colin that he looks somewhat similar to Kim Do-jin, and compared with Danny's typical Caucasian appearance, Kim Do-jin's looks are more in line with their aesthetics.I am very envious that he has such a young and handsome father.

At that time, although Colin was humble on his lips, he was also full of pride in his heart.But in front of Jin Daozhen, he would not show it.Not only will it not behave, but it will say the opposite.

Now that he heard Jin Daozhen tell the truth, he thought it was because Jin Daozhen studied Japanese hard and could understand what Yu and Shinichi said that day, but he didn't know that Jin Daozhen didn't want to lose face by being stubborn.

Seeing Colin's expression of surprise and annoyance at first, Jin Daozhen knew that he had cheated the truth by mistake.Being praised by Colin's classmates and being known by Enxi, he is also quite proud.

Enxi suddenly remembered something, hurriedly left the dining table, and said as she walked, "I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me, I haven't shown you Colin's growth photo album yet."

Jin Eunxi took out several photo albums from the room and came to the living room, Jin Daozhen came to her side, Colin stood behind them, and the three looked at the albums together.

Kim Eun-hee explained while flipping, "This was taken when Colin was in the United States. At that time, he was still young and very clingy to me. He refused to leave me when taking pictures, so we had to take pictures together."

Colin added: "It's not because I'm attached to you, I just want to take pictures with you."

"This was my neighbor in the United States at the time. The boy was named Tom. He loved eating cookies. I don't know if it was because he wanted to grab the desserts I baked with him, which made Colin especially fond of sweets now. This photo It was us kneading the dough and getting ready to bake the cookies, and Tom's mom took the picture for us."

Colin said again: "I like to eat small biscuits. Tom always comes to grab my ones. To be honest, I think it's because he is too fat and his mother restricts his sweets, so he comes to exploit me." food."

"This is Colin who has just entered elementary school. I accompanied him to the opening ceremony. This is Colin introducing himself on stage. Look at his feet, they are still neiba. He will stand like this when he is nervous."

Colin loudly denied: "I was young at that time, but now that I have grown up, I will never be like this again. Don't keep this kind of photo."

Jin Daozhen picked out his ears: "Listen to your volume, don't you know that the louder you are, the more guilty you are?"

The three of them were watching in disbelief when the doorbell rang suddenly.

Jin Enxi then put down the photo album and went to open the door. Jin Daozhen continued flipping through the photo album, only to hear Enxi say, "Danny, why are you here?"

With the ear-piercing sound of surprise, Jin Daozhen sounded the first-level alarm.He immediately put down the photo album, walked quickly to Enxi's side, and said in the tone of a male host: "Danny, you are here, come in and have a glass of water."

Love rivals probably know each other better than lovers. As soon as Jin Daozhen said something, Danny knew what he was playing.Kim Do-jin is Colin's biological father, and this fact gives him one less natural advantage over Kim Do-jin.But he also has an advantage that Kim Do Jin doesn't have, that is, he spends more time with Eun Hee and Colin.

Jin Enxi took a pair of slippers for Danny to put on. Danny came to the living room and sat down. He didn't use his own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths. He replied casually: "No need to pour water, I won't be here for long. I'm here to give Colin a gift today. A gift." He smiled brightly at Colin: "You will start school in a few days, and this set of brushes is a gift for you."

Colin had already greeted him, but the adults kept talking and he couldn't get in.Hearing Danny talking to him, he hurriedly squeezed in front of Danny, took the gift, gave Danny a big hug, and thanked him: "Danny, you really are the best to me."

Danny rubbed Colin's head and said with a smile: "Your parents are all in front of you, and they put me in front of them. Of course I'm very happy, but I'm afraid they will be jealous."

Jin Daozhen gambled all his IQ, and Danny's words were definitely mocking him. Before he could speak, Enxi said: "You dote on him too much, and you brought him a paintbrush so late. Although I am a mother, but I will bow down to you too."

"I sent it here on the way, and now I have to go back." Danny said.

Jin Enxi was surprised: "Leaving so soon?"

Danny also walked to the entrance, changed his shoes and said, "Yes."

Enxi also hurriedly changed her shoes and said, "Then I'll give it to you."

Before Danny answered, Jin Daozhen said: "It's getting late, I'd better go and deliver it."

Enxi objected: "Danny is my friend, of course I went to deliver it, and the neighborhood is very safe, so you don't need to come out."

Jin Daozhen still changed his shoes, Eunxi glared at him, and he explained: "I went to buy yogurt, I was full at night, and I needed to digest it."

Jin Eunxi and Danny went out the door first and went down the stairs, followed by Jin Daozhen.After leaving the apartment building, Jin Enxi and Danny walked in front side by side. Jin Daozhen grinned and looked at their backs not far away, wishing to rush up and get in between them.

Jin Eunxi turned his head suddenly, and Jin Daozhen quickly put on a smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say you were going to buy yogurt?" Jin Enxi reminded him and stopped in place.

Jin Daozhen had no choice but to walk forward, passed them by, and walked towards the supermarket at the gate of the community.It's a pity that he wore a pair of sneakers casually when he went downstairs, otherwise the louder footsteps would have announced his dissatisfaction.

Watching Jin Daozhen gradually walk out of sight, Jin Eunxi looked at Danny again.

Danny saw the expression of Kim Eun-hee looking at Kim Do-jin's back, an expression she had never seen on her face in the past few years, the anger in the corners of her eyes, the sweet smile, which is the unconscious expression of sincerity when facing the sweetheart.He had to admit that he had already lost a complete defeat before the war horn sounded.

Jin Enxi asked: "Didn't you come here to give Colin a gift tonight?"

Although Danny only admitted his failure just now, he still had a ten-thousandth hope and asked: "Aviv, when you chose to go back to Japan with me, can I understand that the love button in your past has been pressed?" Press the stop button?"

At that time, after hearing Kim Do-jin's words similar to the declaration of breaking up, Kim Eun-hee returned to Japan with the feeling of letting go of the past.Although Jin Daozhen went to the airport to explain the truth, she only felt that all this was an arrangement of fate.But unexpectedly, Jin Daozhen came to Japan after him, and his arrival disintegrated Jin Eunxi's unsteady determination.

Although she is not sure what Jin Daozhen's intentions are, but she herself, even if she is not with Jin Daozhen, she can't say frankly that she no longer loves him, let alone being with others.

Jin Enxi hesitated a little, and then said firmly: "I thought it was, but in fact I can't forget him, I love him, I have always loved him."

But Danny turned a deaf ear and narrated his heart song: "When I picked you up from South Korea, I thought my chance had finally come. Then he came to Japan after him, and I wanted to come and stay by your side countless times. But I also thought, you two After all, people's affairs must come to a conclusion. Put it to death and survive, so I hold back and give you time to communicate."

"One day, two days, three days. I lived every day like a year. I wanted to see but I didn't dare to come. So tonight, I came in the name of giving gifts. After I came, I realized that I have been here all this time. Deceit yourself. You never forgot him, not even for a second."

"I should have known. After he came, you haven't contacted me again. I should have known. I have been thinking about how to win this contest, but in fact, I don't even have a ticket."

Looking at Danny's self-deprecating smile, Jin Enxi's inner guilt couldn't be added.

It seems that since he walked into her life, waiting has become the main theme of his life.Waiting, waiting, looking forward to.Originally, Danny was a free-spirited traveler, with his camera, walking records, and the sea and the sky.

But after getting acquainted with her, in the hopeless waiting, day by day, year after year, my steps were restrained.Although she didn't intend to be the thread that bound him, she did become his fetter; although she didn't want him to be hurt, she still left a wound in his heart.

Jin Enxi said bitterly: "I'm such a bad woman. I obviously made a choice, but I didn't want to pay for it. When I left Jin Daozhen, I shouldn't have expected his love; if I keep rejecting your love, I shouldn't accept yours." Take care. I am too selfish, I only consider my own position when making decisions. So I will be punished, and I will not get his love and lose your love."

Danny understood Jin Enxi's heart, "I promised you that I would wait for you forever, and I may miss the appointment. I don't want my waiting to be a burden to you. Our magazine is planning a series of travel guides, and I have been Hesitating whether to go or not. It seems that there is no reason to stay now. This is a farewell. You bid farewell to Colin and tell him that I will write to him. Then I will leave first. This time, it will be up to you Follow my back."

"Danny," Jin Eunxi wanted to say sorry with a lump in her throat, but she knew that he didn't need her apology and said it just to alleviate her guilt, so she just said: "Bon voyage."

Jin Enxi and Danny looked at each other and smiled.They were each other's wrong people after all.

Jin Daozhen has been standing at the entrance of the supermarket waiting after buying the yogurt. This is the only place to go out of the community. He is waiting for his love rival Danny.

He felt like he had waited a long time before he saw Danny walking slowly from inside.

Danny was very surprised to see Jin Daozhen, and there was a faint anger in his heart, but he thought sadly that he didn't lose to Jin Daozhen, but he lost to Jin Eunxi.So he decided to pretend he didn't see Jin Daozhen, and just walked over.

"There's no one else here, are you going to pretend you don't know me?" Jin Daozhen stopped him.

Danny raised a corner of his mouth, "You thought you won, so you came to challenge me? Your advantage is that you met Aviv earlier, and she had your child." He took a step forward: "But your disadvantage It's also time, because I was with them for five years, and you will never be able to erase these five years."

Jin Daozhen looked at Danny confidently, and said loudly: "No, time is always on my side. Because in the next 50 years, I will be by their side every day."

Danny turned his head to the side and said sarcastically, "Wait and see." Then he walked past Jin Daozhen.

Jin Daozhen walked home, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.Originally, he made a special trip to wait there to give Danny a blow, but he let go of his cruel words, and he always felt that it was him who was threatened.After entering the door, I saw two pairs of identical men's slippers in the hallway.He changed into a pair, turned the other pair under the shoe rack, but still felt a suffocation in his chest.
