The peninsula is like a shadow

Ren Jun had grown up and looked like Neiyong's elder brother. When he saw Li Yan, he seemed confused for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and stood still.

"Brother Zhengyan, I'm Ren Jun."

"You are Ren Jun? That shouldn't be the case. As far as I remember, Ren Jun was a tiny guy."

"Brother Zhengyan, I'm already thirteen years old."

The boy blushed a little at Li Yan's teasing. It was obvious that Huili's mother must have sent him to a strict management environment to grow up. Elite education would make the boy look much more stable. Li Yan stood up and walked to Ren Jun and patted his shoulder.

"Good boy, it's good to grow up. I'm old now."

"Brother Zhengyan hasn't aged at all, he's still very handsome."

"You little jerk, you know how to flatter me. Sit down and let me see if you are strong or not."

Being raised in wealth is different. This child exudes the same feeling as Cui Junzhi from the inside out. Li Yan thought about the little guy who used to pull his hair and bite it, and then looked at the boy in front of him, and felt a sense of time and space interweaving.

"Ren Jun, tell me, what do you remember?"

"Shibuya Sekiro!"

"Ah? Hahaha~~ Who told you that? It definitely wasn't your mom. It was Brother Naiyong, right? He's so funny. Did he tell you who the Flower Street Fat Dog is? Guess if it was him. Hahaha~"

Ren Jun also laughed. Flower Street Fat Dog? Was this my father's old nickname?

"Okay, now that you know, don't ask those questions anymore, and don't think it's cool. Ren Jun, you have to know that when I rushed out with you in my arms, I wanted to see you the way you are now. You absolutely, absolutely don't go down the path we walked on. That's not cool at all. It's nothing but pain and confusion."

"I know. Dad has a lot of scars on his body. He said that Brother Zhengyan has the same scars. I'm afraid of the pain."

"It's good to be afraid of pain. If you're afraid of pain, you won't get into trouble. But we can't let others bully us either."

"If you have money, you won't be bullied."

This answer made Li Yan stunned for a moment, and he looked at Ren Jun. Yes, if you have money, you won't be bullied. This rule is applicable most of the time.

"Just tell me what you like to eat. I have to make sure you go back happy today."

"I have to go back soon. My mom said I shouldn't stay here for too long. I just want to come and see Brother Zhengyan."

Yes, that's right. Coming here to take a look is the best choice. If it weren't for my current identity, I'm afraid Ren Jun and I would never have the chance to meet again in this life.

Li Yan's big hand touched Ren Jun's head.
"Why did you come to see me? You shouldn't remember me."

"I also went to see Kanako's mom, but she didn't like me and refused to see me."

Li Yan didn't know what to say. It was destined that Kanako didn't like Ren Jun. For Kanako, she only had one son, the one she gave birth to Li Yan. Ren Jun was her biggest scar.

"This is not a matter of like or dislike, Ren Jun. You are still young now. Maybe you think you have seen the whole world clearly, but Brother Zhengyan tells you that people will experience a lot of things as they grow up. There are gains, losses, and regrets. So you can't simply measure something by like or dislike."

Ren Jun stared at Li Yan and finally nodded.

"My mom said I was in a rebellious period, but I think I am sober. Brother Zhengyan, is it a wrong decision for me to want to meet you guys?"

Looking at Ren Jun's face, Li Yan suddenly had an illusion. Was Brother Neiyong also this age when he saw him back then?
"Me, Kanako, or the wonderful adventures you imagined, are all part of the past that has been buried in the dust. That period is not something that people can be proud of. At that time, my appearance in your life was an encounter, and our separation was destined. Ren Jun, you should focus more on the future, what your life will become, rather than what we were like in the past."

After a pause, Li Yan thought for a while and said,

"To be honest, you are a stranger to me. I can only find a few memories from your eyes and eyebrows. In my memory, Ren Jun is a little thing who likes to drool, likes to pull my hair and chew it, and crawls towards me with his mouth wide open and a smile when he sees me."

Li Yan touched Ren Jun's head again and squeezed his arm. He smiled.
"Your mother is someone I respect. Looking at how you are now, she must have raised you very well and given you her best. It doesn't matter whether you are in your rebellious period or not. You just need to know what others have done for you and what you should do. Men should have their own judgment in their hearts when living in the world. In fact, you know everything, right or wrong. There are comparisons everywhere. I think you, Ren Jun, have an excellent brain."

"You are more kind than my father, Brother Zhengyan."

"Hahahaha, you have to forgive Lao Deng for his expectations of you. You are his son. You have to know how much pressure he has to bear in order to have you."

"I know, but he always threatens me, saying that all the family property belongs to Erinuna, and when I turn 18, he will kick me out of the house."

This old man was talking nonsense to the child. Li Yan smiled and shook his head.
"Ren Jun, maybe in your subconscious, all the family wealth belongs to you. This sounds selfish, but I can understand. You need to know two things. First, your father is a fool, and your mother has the final say in the family. Second, you and Eri are the only two children in the family. You are a man, so be generous. If you only think about the family property, are you a waste? Ren Jun, believe me, the money you earn will bring you supreme happiness."

"I have long decided to be like Brother Zhengyan and give all the money in the family to Erinuna, but Erinuna always beats me and makes me learn management skills. Brother Zhengyan, I never thought about taking all the property. You are wronging me."

Seeing Ren Jun's eyes turn red, Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly touched the little guy's head. You are so fond of crying, no wonder Huili always beats you.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. As punishment, I'll take you to eat delicious food. Let's go. Actually, I don't need to explain anything to you. I believe Ren Jun, you understand everything. I'll take you to play."

Wherever Li Yan took Ren Jun to play, they would first go to a high-end restaurant for dinner, then take him to see NMIXX's performance after a break, and then take him to stroll in the alleys to chat with the old men who were still alive and remembered his name.

Ren Jun looked a little shy, but he seemed to really enjoy listening to the old men talk about his childhood. When Dahlia told him that he had a mole at the root of his thigh, Ren Jun's face turned completely red. He looked at Dahlia, who was pregnant with a big belly, and obediently called her "Auntie".

Li Yan didn't care why Mrs. Neiyong asked him to meet Ren Jun, or what she wanted him to do. No one told him, but since he was here, Li Yan decided to accompany Ren Jun in his own way.

"I should take Ren Jun back."

The person who spoke was a bodyguard. Li Yan turned around and looked at Ren Jun. He seemed pretty good too. A bunch of snacks and banknotes were stuffed into his hands. It must be said that these old guys really remembered this little guy.

"Take him back. I don't know where to take him next. Nightclubs are still dark places. It seems that I don't know how to educate children. I want to take him to see the dirty side, make him feel afraid, and keep him away from those places forever. Don't have any beautiful fantasies. Evil is evil."

"Li Yannim, you are the most successful man I have ever seen."

Hearing the bodyguard say this, Li Yan smiled, shook his head, and patted his shoulder.

"Success is a joke. Aren't we all working and living? If time goes back ten years, I would speak to you with the same envious tone. I might not even dare to tell you. After all, as a high-level bodyguard like you, I have to consider whether you would pay attention to me."

The bodyguard smiled, checked the time, and nodded to Li Yan. Li Yan turned around and shouted,

"Ren Jun, why don't you go home and do your homework? If Eri knew about this, she would definitely beat you up."

"Nu Na always rides on me and spanks my back, but never spanks my butt."

Ren Jun kept bowing to everyone, blushing in protest. Li Yan touched Ren Jun's head, thought for a moment, took out his wallet, took out all the banknotes, and waved to Dahlia. Dahlia turned around and said something, and a little girl immediately ran over and handed him a red envelope.
"Brother Zhengyan, I don't want it. I have my own pocket money." "Renjun, this is what I give you. You have to take it. Besides, big brother doesn't like to see white envelopes or anything like that, so remember, when you make money in the future, when you buy me gifts, you have to be prosperous. Is there a problem?"

"Remember, Big Brother likes red."

"You little brat, you're the one calling me Big Brother too?"

Ren Jun stuck out his tongue and followed the bodyguard. Sitting in the car, he glanced outside with nostalgia. Li Yan waited for the car to leave, then slowly walked to the door of the tavern and sat down.
"It's going to be so fast. Maybe in the blink of an eye, I'll be your age and you guys will be buried in the ground."

"Can you say something nice, brat?"

"I'll buy you drinks, Dahlia, and the whole troop pot!"

The army pot is a low-end version of the hotpot atmosphere. Although one is a big hodgepodge and the other is much more high-end, from the perspective of the dining atmosphere alone, Li Yan feels that they are similar, lively and everyone gets together.

"You little brat, no matter how old you are, you are still a little brat in our eyes. You can only fight, pick up girls, and make some money. Do you think I would be envious? I am already 71 years old. Would I be envious of you? I wish I could take over your body."

"If you take over his body, you might not be able to withstand a punch. If you want to lie down on the ground sooner, I can help you do it without you, brat."

Li Yan smiled as he listened to the old men chatting, ate a few bites, then stood up and left with a smile. He walked outside with Dahlia and touched her belly.

"Everything has been arranged long ago, why are you still staying in the tavern?"

"My child is not that delicate. Don't worry. I just can't help but come to see him. I will go back to take care of him starting tomorrow. You can go and do your own things. Don't come here so often. Do the things you should do. What's the point of eating and drinking all the time? You have no future."

Saying that he was useless, Dahlia reached out to help straighten the wrinkles on Li Yan's clothes, and gently kissed the side of Li Yan's face. She smiled and watched Li Yan leave the alley.

"Brother, is this where you got beaten?"

"I did it on purpose. I ask you every time I pass by, Basong. I think you are itching for trouble."

Basong smiled and shook his head, then drove the car out of the alley steadily. His eldest brother's memory of the alley did not include him. He once imagined what would happen if he followed his eldest brother at this time.

Fantasy is something that knows no age limit. Men remain teenagers until they die. Since they are teenagers, it is normal for them to always dream of becoming superheroes.

"Do you remember that they traveled thousands of miles to Japan to see you?"

This is a fatal question. Li Yan scratched his head, looked at Pei Zhuxuan's serious expression, and shook his head firmly.

"do not remember."

The little cat pounced over, and Li Yan pressed down the little cat's head with his big hand.
"A cat can't beat a dog."

"Hmph~~, but the cat still wins."

Hearing Li Yan say this, Pei Zhuxuan knew that she remembered that incident, the first time in her life that she stole sex, and she felt proud of it when she thought about it now.

Take the big hand on your forehead and hold it in your arms.
"I must have lost my mind at the time. I can be sure that I definitely did not love you at that time."

"is it?"

"Yes, it's a very complicated emotion. It seems that if I don't say it now, it will be too late. After all, I was so young at that time and my brain was not working well."

"Should I be happy or unhappy when you say that?"

Bae Joo-hyun looked up at Li Yan and patted him. What happy or unhappy is that? People have already run in front of you. No matter what they say, you should be happy.

"Then tell me, what does it feel like to be unhappy?"

"The dog rode the cat and made it cry."

"Do you have any other skills?"

"No."

Pei Zhuxuan leaned in Li Yan's arms and looked at Li Yan's palms back and forth.

"Then I surrender, okay? I just couldn't help liking you at the time, liking you enough to take such a big risk. But tell me if it's weird or not, I believe that even if the company would reprimand me, you would be able to handle it. Come to think of it, you seemed to have a very high status in the hearts of the company's artists at that time."

"I'm happy when you say that."

"What about happiness?"

"The dog rode the cat and made it cry."

Pei Zhuxuan was happy and bumped into Li Yan's chest, making a sound. Li Yan smiled and picked her up and put her in his arms. His big hands restlessly touched her two short legs. Pei Zhuxuan twisted and found a comfortable position.
"Maybe this is why you became the big brother. Your style and habits of doing things will affect the people around you, making them recognize you and trust you. However, that's it. At your current position, nothing is worth your personal risk. You understand that, right?"

Li Yan nodded. He understood what was said and deep down, he was not willing to chop anyone down with a knife anymore. It was not because he had lost his bloodiness, but because that was not his job. He knew what he should do based on his position as a person.

"Now that I think about it, you said that the most beautiful woman in SM was Shirley. Li Yanxi, can you compare me with Shirley in all aspects?"

"My legs are too short, so there's no need to compare."

The two little white legs that were held together by Li Yan immediately kicked outward with force, and Bae Joo-hyun also pushed her whole body backward with force, like a child in a bad temper, rejecting Li Yan's embrace and stretching herself straight.

Li Yan did not use force to restrain her, allowing her to act cute in his arms.

Really, doesn’t he know what his conditions are? Li Yan smiled and held the straight Bae Joo Hyun in his arms.

Come on, let me get to know you comprehensively, and then tell you how many differences there are.

"Oppa, it's still early."

"It's getting late. You'll see it's getting dark soon."

"Oppa, can you wait a little longer until Tzuyu comes back?"

"Okay, haha, I was kidding you, Pei Xiao Miao, watch me perform a magic trick and take off my clothes in one second." (End of this chapter)
