The peninsula is like a shadow

Chapter 341 The truest self

Chief Xu did not rush to tell Li Yan the answer. Instead, he waited for his daughter to leave, looked Li Yan up and down again, raised his hand and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.

"I know there is a small pub in front of you, and the wine inside is very special. Would you like to buy me a drink?"

Li Yan didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Feeling the strength on his shoulders, he looked at Chief Xu again. Li Yan nodded seriously.

"You don't want people to think you are a Yakuza? How can that be done? If you are not a Yakuza, what are you? If you are not a Yakuza, who is afraid of you? If you are not a Yakuza, could it be that you are a saint?"

After drinking a glass of bitter wine, Chief Xu exhaled a long breath, turned to look at Li Yan, and asked a few questions.The problem sounds similar, but Li Yan knows that it is not simple.

"I had the honor to meet with the director of the Police Department today. He said some things that are within my ability. But I am a little bored. I feel that I have a formal job and an industrial factory. Although I still have a smuggling business, I thought maybe it would be better to look at what I'm doing and then decide what to call me."

"Do you want others to call you President Li?"

"why not?"

"Because in the eyes of others, you are just a master in terms of ability. So, you can run a factory?"

Li Yan shook his head. Today's idea came to him suddenly. When he saw Chief Xu, Li Yan subconsciously wanted to hear his opinion.However, Chief Xu seemed to have taken the opportunity to go out for a drink and answered his questions casually.

Chief Xu knocked on the table, and the middle-aged man behind the bar asked with a smile,

"You still want to drink? What if Madam is angry?"

"Didn't you see that there is a brat next to me? Come on."

The clear wine was poured into the cup, and Chief Xu picked it up and admired it like a work of art.After admiring enough, he turned to look at Li Yan.

"I thought you had understood the world, but I didn't expect that you would be confused by worldly things. Does it matter what you are called? The question is whether you will do it. If you have to do it, then explain your status. Lower than that person. In Korea, everyone is on the top of the steps. If he is higher than you, then you have to listen to him, otherwise he will kick you from above and your head will hurt."

"Because of status?"

"Yes, he can call you a Yakuza, or President Li, or a bastard or something even worse. None of these are important. The important thing is that in his heart, you will definitely agree. He gave an excuse, It shows that he still has some small fears. And this fear is your real value. So, who are you?"

"I am a person with a Yakuza background."

"So is there a problem with what the Police Commissioner wants you to do?"

"No."

Li Yan's problem was solved in a few words. Li Yan believed that those words of fear were his true value.Seeing that Chief Xu's attention was on the wine glass, Li Yan chose to remain silent. He decided to drink with Chief Xu until he was satisfied. This was the only thing he could do.

"Are you pursuing Xiaoxian?"

"No."

"Why not pursue it? Because of me?"

"I have girlfriends, several."

"Do normal people have multiple girlfriends?"

Li Yan didn't answer, but drank all the wine in the glass, followed Chief Xu's example and watched the wine slowly pour into the glass, then picked it up and admired it.

"You can make Xiaoxian suffer a little, but don't go too far. Her life is too smooth."

"Then will you beat me?"

"Of course I will. I don't want my daughter to suffer, so you can only do it."

Chief Xu answered quickly, and Li Yan could only smile bitterly.This may be due to the difference in status. Chief Xu can say that he cannot be rude to him. Thinking carefully about Xu Xian's appearance, Li Yan replied,

"But apart from his face and figure, Seohyun's character makes me feel awkward."

"Is it just awkward? Of course it is. Xiaoxian pays attention to being strict in doing things, starting and ending. Of course a guy like you who has no rules will feel uncomfortable. But the world is like this. There are more and more people who don't follow the rules. I'm worried that Xiaoxian will sooner or later I will encounter her. It is impossible for me to protect my daughter for the rest of my life. There are some things that you won’t understand unless you have experienced them."

"Then you should choose a boyfriend for her. Xu Xian feels very strange about me. She just wants to know about my life and is not interested in me at all."

"So, you have to let her suffer a little bit, let's consider it as today's tuition. She can't be so sad that she can't control herself because of a breakup one day. You have to let her know that feelings are not that important, and they are not everything in life. Taking good care of yourself is the true meaning. If you can grow up with Eri and have several girlfriends, you will definitely find a way."

"Isn't it bad to value emotions?"

"I will be bitten by a shark. If that happens in front of Xiaoxian, I hope she can stand on the boat and watch calmly." Chief Xu looked at Li Yan and smiled, slowly tasting the wine in his glass, Li Yan Ze drank it all in one go and breathed out the alcohol.

"I will not pursue Xu Xian."

"If you dare, I will beat you up. You can think of your own method. I just hope to see Xiaoxian become more selfish and not do stupid things because of feelings."

"If you don't pursue it, how can you make Xu Xian suffer?"

"That's your business."

"Can I still ask you questions in the future?"

Chief Xu did not speak, but looked at Li Yan and drank all the wine.This time he put the wine glass upside down on the table, squinted his eyes and waited before exhaling the alcohol.

"If you think I'll answer your questions, you can come."

After leaving the tavern, Chief Xu's expression became serious again, as if Li Yan was a gangster on the street and he was a strict parent.It is impossible for these two people to coordinate. Li Yan looked at Xu Xian who was waiting outside. Xu Xian's eyes were a little worried. Li Yan didn't understand why. Was he afraid that he would be beaten?
"Look, is Xiaoxian too kind?"

"Yes."

"When you encounter bad people, is kindness useful?"

Chief Xu's ventriloquism was very powerful. Li Yan watched Xu Xian walk up to him and looked at him seriously before walking up to Chief Xu and holding his arm.Li Yan forced out a smile and said to Xu Xian,
"Chief Xu is a very good person."

"Stop talking nice, you bastard. Once a thief, always a thief."

"Abba, Li Yan is really different from before."

"Hmph~~~ Ignore him and follow me home."

Li Yan returned to the second floor of the small house and found no one at home.Kanako's pajamas have been washed and are hanging on the hanger.Li Yan was a little distracted looking at the pajamas, not because he missed Kanako, but because he was thinking about how many people had worn it.This is a very ordinary pajamas, not worth much, but very comfortable to wear.After being worn by Kanako and Kim Ji-yeon, some parts can no longer be restored to their original appearance.

Liu Jimin slept soundly, breathing evenly, and occasionally making a cute nasal sound.Li Yan took a shower and sat on the floor leaning against the sofa.I just had a snack jar at hand, I didn't turn on the TV, I didn't think about what happened today, my mind was just empty.

There are so many things he lacks, but this does not make Li Yan feel inferior.It's just that after starting a new life, things will not develop according to Li Yan's ideas. This is Li Yan's biggest worry.

All at once I lost everything, and all at once I had too much.Li Yan didn't even know if his current state was right, if he had drifted off, or if he was too low-key.

No one can tell me accurately, or in other words, the people who can tell me have already said it, but I am not aware of it.From someone like Chief Xu, Li Yan would feel that what he said was right.If Pei Zhuxuan said it, he might have another idea.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"

"What should I look like?"

Jessica looked tired, but when she saw Li Yan sitting in the dark, she still cheered up and asked carefully.Li Yan's answer forced her to start thinking,
"You? You should never care about anything. You don't care about money, you don't care about women, you don't care about friends, and the same goes for career."

"You mean me?"

"I'm talking about you, because you can give up on all this."

Jessica's answer surprised Li Yan. In Jessica's words, he was like a wandering monk, as if everything he owned was like a mirror.Whether you are here or not, it should not affect you.

"Then what do you want me to be like?"

"I don't know. In fact, it's good for you to be like this. You won't get too entangled in anything and embarrass yourself."

It's hard to figure it out, because the problem can't be flattened out 180 degrees for you to study, but Jessica's legs can.

Li Yan knew that he was a fool because he had never gone to school or studied culture systematically. Everything he knew came from real life or the influence of people around him.

Patting Jessica's waist, Jessica groaned and turned over face down.Li Yan believes that this is a sign of maturity, because when you receive the signal, you know what to do.

There may be many choices, for example, Jessica can lie on her side, or simply push herself down and sit on herself, but no matter which way, the ending is actually the same.

This is very similar to my own destiny. No matter what choice I make, I will just work hard and persevere.

As for how he would be viewed by others, Li Yan pinched Jessica's butt hard.
"asshole."

See, this is your truest self.
