[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life

Although Cui Yingxiong came out earlier than Xinai after school, it was actually just a matter of front and back.Later, the conversation between Cui Yingxiong and Yin's father delayed the time to go home. Logically speaking, Xin Ai should have arrived home earlier than him, but until Cui Yingxiong persuaded him to agree to send Xin Ai back to Yin's house, Xin Ai Love hasn't come back yet.

Xin Ai didn't need to learn to draw after school today, and she should have returned home on time, but when she was packing her schoolbag, she suddenly remembered that she had ordered a few ancient Chinese Go books for Cui Zhibin in a second-hand bookstore a few days ago. Arrived, so she walked out of school and headed straight for the second-hand bookstore.

This second-hand bookstore is located in a remote alley in a corner, and the appearance is dilapidated. Because of the erosion of time and the dust, the signboard is not clear at all. Even with the introduction of Cui Zhibin's master Gao Dongzhe, at the beginning It took her a lot of effort to find it.When she came for the first time, she had already walked in front of the bookstore, but she didn't notice it, so she just walked over there. After walking a long way, she realized that something was wrong. She turned around and asked the passers-by, knowing that she had passed by. , and then hurried back.

However, although this second-hand bookstore is hard to find and looks inconspicuous from the outside, it has a hidden hole inside. Most of the books sold here are foreign books. Many books that are not available in Chuncheon library and bookstore can be found here, and the owner is also very good. People who have a way have purchase channels in many countries.If you have any books you want and cannot buy them in Korea, you can go here and ask the shopkeeper for help.

After Xinai got the books she ordered, she walked out of the bookstore and prepared to go home.Before she walked out of the alley where the bookstore was located, she met Zhou Yuling who was walking in a hurry.

"Huh? Cui Xin'ai?" Zhou Yuling, who walked across from Xin'ai, recognized Xin'ai, and couldn't help being surprised.In Zhou Yuling's eyes, Xinai is a good baby who never arrives late or leaves early, completes her homework on time, doesn't go out to play after school, and obediently goes home to help Shun Ren. It seems that she has never done anything out of line. You don't have to worry about it.So Zhou Yuling was surprised to see Xin Ai here, she didn't expect to meet Xin Ai here.

Zhou Yuling looked behind Xinai wonderingly, and asked curiously: "Cui Xinai, why are you here? What are you doing here? Are you dating someone?"

The location of the bookstore is exactly the opposite of where Xin Ai lives, one east and one west, and the two places are far away.There are no shopping malls or parks here, and she really can't think of a reason for Xin Ai to come here other than dating people.

Xinai turned her head and pointed to the location of the bookstore, then showed Zhou Yuling the book she was holding in her hand, and said, "I went to the bookstore here to buy some books. What are you doing here?"

"Hey!" Seeing the book in Xinai's hand, Zhou Yuling dismissed it, and couldn't help but said: "So I bought books here, you can find it in such a remote place, it's amazing!" Looking at Xinai up and down , Seeing that Xin Ai is still dressed as a good girl in school, she said: "Oh, you are so boring! You still buy books? You are going to become a nerd. But yes, you are a good boy."

Before Xinai could say anything, there were noisy voices from the entrance of the alley, and a rough voice was particularly obvious among them. "...Are you sure that stinky girl ran into this alley?..."

"Run!" Zhou Yuling's expression changed when she heard the voice, and she ran forward while pulling Xin Ai.Xin Ai was caught off guard, being pulled by her like this, she staggered and almost fell down.

"Damn girl, stop!" Those people seemed to have entered the alley. "Hurry up and chase me!"

Xin Ai, who was dragged away by Zhou Yuling, heard the shouts from behind, and knew that these people saw her with Zhou Yuling. If she was caught by them, even if she had nothing to do with Zhou Yuling, the two only met occasionally. Nor will they believe it.

Since it's too late to get rid of it, let's run.At the moment, Xinai dare not delay, trying her best to follow in Zhou Yuling's footsteps.Under the leadership of Zhou Yuling, the two walked through the streets and alleys. After a lot of effort, they finally got rid of the pursuers behind them.

Standing at an intersection, Zhou Yuling and Xin Ai, who were exhausted, stopped, bent over, put their hands on their knees, and gasped heavily.After resting for a while, Xinai looked at the surrounding environment and found that the surrounding environment was very strange, so she turned her head and asked Zhou Yuling: "Where is this place?"

Zhou Yuling looked around, shook her head and said, "Uh, I don't know, I've never been here before."

Xin Ai looked around again, but she didn't see a bus station or subway entrance nearby, and she didn't see a taxi on the road. She asked again: "How do we go home? By bus, subway or taxi? "It's getting dark, it's not safe for the two girls to stay in such a remote place.

Zhou Yuling blushed, and her voice was like a gnat: "Whatever you want, you can do anything. It's just that I don't have any money with me. Can you help me pay for the car first?"

Hearing this, Xin Ai sighed, and she took out two coins from her pocket, one for one hundred and one for fifty. "I bought all my money for books just now, and now I only have this 150 yuan."

Originally, the money in Xinai’s body was enough to pay for the few Go books she ordered, but she found a copy of "Appreciation of Chinese Poetry" and a copy of "Clothing Styling" in the bookstore. Seeing Lie Xinxi, she bought them .In this way, he spent all the money he had with him.

Although she didn't leave the fare for the car ride, Xin Ai didn't care at the time. Even though the bookstore was a little far away from home, she knew the way well and could walk back by herself.She was led by Zhou Yuling for more than half an hour, and she doesn't know where she is now.What's more, when the two of them were running around completely indiscriminately, in order to avoid the sight of the pursuers and cover their figures, they turned when they saw corners, and burrowed in when they saw alleys, all they wanted was to get rid of the pursuers behind them, I only care about running, so I don't have the mood to remember the way. Now even if I want to go back the same way, it is impossible.

Zhou Yuling looked at the two coins in Xinai's hand, not knowing what to say.Just don't take a taxi, if you take the bus or subway, the fare for a single person will be [-].With this money, Xin Ai didn't have enough money for her own car ride, so how could she have money to pay her fare?

With no money on her, and in a completely unfamiliar place, Xin Ai didn't know what to do for a while.After thinking about it, Xin Ai identified the direction, and said: "It's getting dark, and this place is so far away, let's go this way first, and leave here first."

Zhou Yuling didn't object, and the two walked in the direction pointed by Xin Ai.After walking for a long time, I finally saw the station and the subway entrance, but there was still no sign of a taxi, which made Xin Ai's idea of ​​taking a taxi home and getting money to pay the fare came to nothing.After running for so long, the physical strength was exhausted, and now it was almost time for dinner. The two of them were tired and hungry, and they couldn't walk.

Although it was not completely dark yet, the roadside stalls on the side of the road had already come out.Smelling the aroma of food, Zhou Yuling swallowed subconsciously, touched her stomach quietly, turned her head and said to Xinai: "Cui Xinai, look at some roadside shops, if you see a billiard room, call me. "

Xin Ai, who didn't know why, agreed.But before Xin Ai saw the billiard room, Zhou Yuling had already discovered it, and she dragged Xin Ai into a bar.Koreans like to get together for a drink after get off work, so there are many pubs and bars in South Korea, row upon row.When everyone gets together, it’s not just about drinking, talking and laughing, and while connecting with each other, they may play some recreational games. Some bars even use this as a means of attracting guests.

The bar Zhou Yuling Laxin loves to go to is not high-grade, and the pastimes here are of a gambling nature.In the bar, there were not only adults, but also quite a few non-mainstream teenagers and girls in strange costumes.Zhou Yuling jumped over the tables where Pai Gow was pushed, poker and mahjong were played, and she went straight to the place where billiards were played.When she arrived at the billiards court, Zhou Yuling seemed to be on a stimulant. After winning a few tables neatly, she didn't bother to fight, and left with the winnings.

Coming out of the bar, holding the winning money, Zhou Yuling invited Xin Ai to eat at a roadside stall and ordered spicy fried rice cakes and kimchi soup.After ordering, the bored Zhou Yuling said, "Hey, Cui Xin'ai, I heard that your current mother is not your biological mother. You were wronged. Your biological parents are rich, right?"

Xin Ai didn't answer but asked instead: "You are well informed, but where did you know about it?" She didn't think that Shun Ren and the others would tell this matter to the outside world, and as for Yin's father and Yin's mother, they would not talk to this person. Dealing with tenants on the side.Since no one told the outside world, how did Zhou Yuling know?

Although Xin Ai did not answer directly, Zhou Yuling had already got the answer from her questioning and confirmed that it was true. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "My God, it's true? If this kind of thing didn't happen in the Beside me, it feels like novels and TV dramas. It’s bloody. Haha.” After laughing a few times, she asked curiously: “Then Cui Xin’ai, you shouldn’t be here for long. When will you return to your biological parents? Where to go?"

Xin Ai didn't pay attention to her question, and kept on holding on to the question just now. "Zhou Yuling, I asked you just now, how did you know about this, and you haven't answered me yet."

Zhou Yuling waved her hand indifferently, and muttered: "Oh, this is a good thing, what is there to hide? If I knew that I had rich parents, I would wish that everyone would know about it,... ..."

Looking into Shangxinai's eyes, the second half of her words dissipated in the air, and she answered honestly: "At that time, when your biological parents came, people on our level saw it. You know, their clothes Dressed up, obviously different from us, and driving a private car. Obviously, they are not our kind of people, so I am very curious about them visiting your house. You know, the house we live in is not very soundproof, so just That’s how it looks. Your neighbor and my dad used to belong to the same company, and they had a bit of a relationship, so he told my dad about it.” When my dad knows it, it means I know it.

Hearing the answer, Xin Ai couldn't help shouting "bad luck" in her heart. At first she thought that only women love to gossip, but she didn't expect that as a man, she was not inferior.When she thought about what was going on in her family, the neighbors listened to everything, which was equivalent to revealing all the secrets in front of the other party, and her face became ugly.

Seeing Xinai's ugly face, Zhou Yuling added: "Don't worry, your biological parents are obviously rich. Your neighbor is in sales at the company, and his job is to sell to rich people. The company's products, so I saw your biological parents coming here, and wanted to talk to your biological parents, so I heard the secrets of your family. If my dad hadn't had such a relationship with him, he wouldn't Tell my dad. How dare he talk about this kind of thing, you don’t have to worry about it. As for me and my dad, I won’t talk about it.” Listening to the root of the wall is really not an aboveboard act.

Zhou Yuling thought for a while, and suggested: "However, sometimes, you have to persuade your mother. Can you lower your tone a little? Because sometimes, it's not our intention to eavesdrop, but your mother's. The voice is too loud, she has a loud voice, and what she says can be heard almost on the whole floor. Just like this, even if your neighbors don't say it, but after that, everyone can guess from your mother's words Eighty-eight."

ah?Xin Ai was taken aback, she hadn't noticed this problem before, mainly because she was used to Shun Ren's loud voice.When Zhou Yuling said this, she remembered that the rental house they live in now has rooms that are next to each other.Unlike in the village, although the houses are dilapidated, there is a certain distance.So when in the village, even if Shun Ren yelled in the room, under normal circumstances, the neighbors would not be able to hear him.

The current situation is like this, even in the future, if Shun Ren saves enough money to buy a house, she can't afford a detached house and can only buy an apartment.It doesn't matter whether the apartments are door-to-door or next to each other, anyway, in order not to be bullied arbitrarily, Shun Ren's loud voice, which he developed in dealing with those men in the village, is no longer needed.On the contrary, Shun Ren needed to lower his voice in order to prevent his family's affairs from becoming known to everyone on the floor.

Xin Ai said gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me, I see." When you get home, tell Shun Ren to let her pay attention in the future.

"Aha!" Zhou Yuling was embarrassed by Xin Ai, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal at all, I just said it casually."

Zhou Yuling remembered the question she asked Xin Ai just now, and Xin Ai hadn't answered it yet, so she couldn't help asking again: "By the way, when will your biological parents pick you up? How long will you stay at Cui's house? Is it a day?"

Xin Ai looked at Zhou Yuling like a curious baby, asked endlessly, smiled amusedly, and asked: "Who told you that my biological parents are going to pick me up? Could it be that my neighbor told your father too?" , did you come from listening?"

Unable to get an answer from Xinai's mouth, Zhou Yuling's face fell down, her cheeks puffed up, and she looked very depressed.Hearing what Xin Ai said, she looked at Xin Ai with eyes like an idiot, lying on the table at the roadside stall, and said weakly: "Please, Xin Ai, although my grades are not as good as yours, I am not a fool Okay? Isn’t this an obvious fact? You are their biological daughter and are connected with them by blood. How can anyone in this world deny their own biological daughter? As your biological parents, it’s fine if they didn’t know before. Now that they know, why would they leave you alone, and it will only be a matter of time before they pick you up. Do you still need me to tell you this truth, even if you came from an alien planet, you should understand this, right? "

Xinai doesn't speak.Yes, Zhou Yuling's ideas are the mainstream ideas in this society.Koreans value their blood very much, and the richer they are, the more serious it is.In South Korea, abortion is not allowed casually.If someone gets pregnant before marriage, their first instinct is to get married and have the baby instead of aborting it.

In the past, Xin Ai never understood why Yin's mother immediately decided to move the whole family to live abroad after knowing that Enxi was not her biological daughter.No matter where they move, the fact that Eun Hee is not her biological daughter will not change, and Mother Yin's saying to forget everything is just deception.

After hearing Zhou Yuling's words, Xin Ai understood.The reason why Yin's mother wanted to leave Korea was not just because she was afraid that Enxi's biological parents would find out the truth and come to her and destroy their lives, but because she was worried about something else.

Because of the fact that the Yin family and the Cui family had the wrong child, after Yin's father and Yin's mother found out the truth, the news, to the well-informed upper class, they can no longer hide it, and the news will soon be revealed. spread the word.Only the Cui family, who had nothing to do with that class, knew nothing about it.

After the fact that Enxi was not the biological daughter of Yin's father and Yin's mother was leaked, the Yin family refused to recognize their biological daughter, but kept Enxi by their side. The behavior of the Yin family was contrary to the mainstream thinking of society.Their behavior will be blamed and ostracized.So in order to eliminate this bad influence, the Yin family had no choice but to go to a foreign country and let time fade and eliminate things.

Zhou Yuling turned around, looked at Xin'ai with puzzled eyes, and asked suddenly: "Cui Xin'ai, is it because you don't want to go back? Are you stupid, your brain is showing off? You don't want to go back? Those are your biological parents, you How can you not recognize them? Even if you don't want to miss Aunt Cui, it's not like you can't contact Aunt Cui after you go back, so what are you still hesitating about?" Obviously it's easy to make a decision, isn't it?Everyone knows how to choose.

Xinai sighed softly, did not speak, and continued to remain silent.It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but that she really doesn't know what to say.Whether to stay at Cui's house or go back to Yin's house, each has its advantages and disadvantages. If she had to choose, she didn't know how to choose.Xin Ai has never dealt with Zhou Yuling before, and today is the first time, the relationship between them is not close enough to share her thoughts.

Because Shunren dislikes Zhou Taiheng's idleness, not doing business and focusing on gambling, and because he has no wife, she has always kept a distance from Zhou Taiheng.When gambling, because Zhou Taiheng would sometimes take Zhou Yuling to act together, Shun Ren was afraid that Cui Yingxiong and the others would be spoiled by Zhou's father and daughter, so he restricted the children in the family from interacting with Zhou's father and daughter.

Coupled with Xinai's "home" attribute, Zhou Yuling likes to run outside, so the relationship between Xinai and Zhou Yuling is only a little better than that of strangers. It is limited to knowing each other. When meeting, if you want, say hello, if you don't want to, don't talk also can.Since the relationship between the two cannot be heart-to-heart, Xinai can only choose not to speak.

Seeing that Xinai didn't speak, Zhou Yuling was not angry either. She rolled her eyes and said, "Well, actually, you don't speak, and I know it too. If there was no such thing as the wrong thing back then, I'm afraid your biological parents and people like us will never be together. There is no intersection. So after taking you home, they must not want you to keep in touch with Aunt Cui's family. Although Aunt Cui raised you so much, but you keep in touch with Aunt Cui, it seems that you and Aunt Cui are close , At that time, your biological parents may have ideas in their hearts. Alas, it is difficult for you."

Zhou Yuling was keenly aware of the conflict between the adoptive mother and the biological mother that Xin Ai had to face after returning, and she spoke out.In this regard, Xinai still declined to comment.

Seeing that Xin Ai didn't speak no matter what she said, Zhou Yuling rolled her eyes at her angrily, "Hey! You are so boring, talking to you is really tiring."

Xin Ai also knew that she kept silent, which was not good, but Zhou Yuling asked questions that she didn't want to say, and the two of them didn't know each other well, so she really didn't know what to do except keep silent.When she was in embarrassment, Zhou Yuling and Xin Ai's food was ready, and the stall owner brought it over.Xinai hurriedly buried her head in her meal.

After eating, Zhou Yuling paid the bill, then counted out 900 yuan from the handful of money she took out of her pocket just now, and handed it to Xin Ai, "No, take it, this is the fare for your ride in a while. "

Xin Ai didn't refuse, and took it directly, "Thank you, I will pay you back the meal and car money when I go back." She will not default on the debt.

Zhou Yuling glanced at her, waved her hand indifferently, and said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want, and you can pay it back." Although the family is not well-off, she still doesn't care about the money.

Seeing that Zhou Yuling was walking in a direction other than the direction to the station, Xin Ai hurriedly called her to stop. "Zhou Yuling! Where are you going? Aren't you going home with me?" Xin Ai said with concern: "It's getting dark, it's so late, you're still outside as a girl, it's not safe."

Zhou Yuling turned around and smiled at Xin Ai, "Don't worry about me, go back by car. I'll be fine." Seeing Xin Ai standing there motionless, she had no choice but to tell her purpose. "I'm going to play billiards at the bar just now. Everyone who plays billiards near our house knows me, and they don't want to play with me. People here don't know me. I'll go play a few rounds and win some money. The water and electricity in my house The fee has not been paid, and the water and electricity will be cut off soon."

Xinai has heard people mention that Zhou Yuling is very skilled at playing billiards and rarely loses. She often uses this to earn living expenses.The people nearby knew that she was highly skilled, and when they gambled against her, they basically lost. They played with her and obviously gave her money, so as time went by, no one gambled with her.Hearing what Zhou Yuling said, Xinai couldn't say anything more, so she could only tell her: "Be careful." There are mixed people in the bar, so pay more attention.

Zhou Yuling didn't speak, but waved vigorously at Xinai, signaling her to go to the car quickly, then turned and walked to the bar.Seeing Zhou Yuling enter the bar, Xinai sighed, then turned around and drove home.
