Chapter 3 The world is different for me Jin Shiming quickly found the siblings Jin Daoxian and Jin Shizheng. After not seeing her for about half a year, Kim Sejeong has become much more mature. Although her skin is still a little dark and her dress looks rustic, her youthful and energetic temperament coupled with her bright and brilliant smile are enough to make her stand out from the crowd. But in comparison, Kim Do-hyun is the eye-catching "conspicuous bag". "Oh! Daoxian, how come you're so fat? You're almost like a ball!" Jin Shiming was shocked. He never expected that Jin Daoxian's body size could expand so quickly in half a year like a balloon. According to Jin Shiming's estimation, the Jin Daoxian in front of him weighs at least 100 kilograms! In the peninsula, where people have serious appearance anxiety and strict body control, it can be said to be a very explosive existence. "Brother, you know that I gain weight easily. I will gain weight if I eat a little more." Jin Daoxian smiled naively. The two are of similar age, are neighbors, and attend the same school, so naturally they have a very close relationship. In his early years, Kim Do-hyun had become a little fat boy, and was often bullied and abused because of this. It was all thanks to Kim Se-myung who helped him out.
Therefore, Jin Daoxian called Jin Shiming "brother" sincerely. When he heard that Jin Shiming was going back to the peninsula, he immediately decided to borrow a car to pick him up. "Did you hear me? I told you to lose weight a long time ago! If you get fatter, you won't be able to buy suitable clothes!" Kim Sejeong put her arm around Kim Semyeong and took the opportunity to gossip about her brother whom she disliked. Adolescent girls are usually sensitive and self-conscious. Even a sensible and kind girl like Kim Sejeong would more or less feel ashamed of her fat brother. "Daoxian, you really should control your weight. Excessive obesity is harmful to your health." Jin Shiming said seriously. "To celebrate my brother's return, I specially prepared Korean beef tonight. After eating this barbecue, I will start to lose weight tomorrow!" Jin Daoxian pinched the fat on his belly and seemed to have made a difficult decision. "I earned the money from my part-time job and picked out the meat at the mall, and you just helped wash the lettuce." Jin Shizheng complained accurately, "You weigh over 200 pounds and you still want to eat barbecue. It's a miracle you can keep going like this!" Kim Sejeong has been working part-time to save money since she was in middle school, but how much money can she earn as a student doing odd jobs? For her, this meal of Korean beef is definitely a luxury. Kim Se-myeong naturally noticed the financial difficulties of Kim Se-jeong's family. Apart from anything else, for a period of time, Kim Sejeong was barely able to make ends meet by relying on the meal cards for poor children subsidized by the peninsula government. Her frugality is almost ingrained in her bones, and every expense and income is recorded in detail in a special notebook. Jin Shiming can easily imagine the painful yet determined feeling that Jin Shizheng felt when he took out this "huge sum of money" from his own piggy bank. "Thank you, our Sejeong. Oppa hasn't eaten authentic Korean beef for a long time. I'm really looking forward to it!" Jin Semyeong did not reject the girl's kindness and touched her head with a smile. In daily life, Jin Shiming's humility, politeness, friendliness and kindness are more like a protective color. In fact, he is the kind of person who has a strong sense of boundaries and doesn't easily let down his guard towards others. Kim Sejeong actually has a similar personality, and to some extent, the two of them really have a sense of "being in a different world". It is precisely because of this kind of soul connection and affinity that the two people can understand each other so well, and in the process of two-way running and redemption, they can enter each other's hearts and become each other's vital existence. Jin Shiming remembered the girl's kindness to him, and he would love her a hundred times more in the future and let her live a happy life. "Oppa, I will grill meat for you tonight, you must eat more." The girl squinted her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled with a little baby fat on her face, as if she was enjoying Jin Shiming's "pat on the head". "By the way, let me introduce you. This is Taichi Suzuki, an elder brother who took very good care of me when I was in the island country." Jin Shiming introduced Taichi Suzuki to the two of them. After some greetings, everyone set off back to Anyang City.
On the way back, it was Suzuki Taichi who was driving, while Kim Do-hyun acted as a human navigator in the passenger seat. Although the island country adopts the rule of driving on the left, which is opposite to the rule of driving on the right in China and the Peninsula, it is not a big problem for Taichi Suzuki, an experienced driver who once drove a taxi. At least, compared to the novice driver Kim Do-hyun and the dangerous man Kim Se-myeong who could fall into a coma at any time, Suzuki Taichi seemed too reliable. …… The advantage of the peninsula's small land area was fully demonstrated at this time. It only took an hour or so for Jin Shiming and his party to return to their home in Anyang City. Jin Shiming's grandparents had been waiting outside the door early, standing on tiptoe and looking at every car that passed by. Seeing the two old men's hunched figures, Jin Shiming couldn't help but feel a little sad. "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back." After calming down, Jin Shiming opened the car door and walked towards the two elders. "Oh my god! Why has our Shiming lost so much weight? Is it because he hasn't eaten well?" Grandma held Jin Shiming's hand and tears fell down. "Come in first. It's embarrassing to stand at the door. You'll make a fool of yourself by others." Grandpa turned his back and walked into the house first. "Shiming, how many days can you stay this time?" Grandma asked reluctantly as she pulled Jin Shiming inside. "After coming back this time, I probably won't go to the island country in the short term." Jin Shiming replied. "Oppa, are you saying that you want to stay in the peninsula and not go back to the island country?" Kim Sejeong next to her exclaimed in surprise when she heard that. "Shiming, your grandfather and I are both in good health. If you are planning to give up your future because you are worried about us, there is no need to do so." Grandma stopped and spoke to Jin Shiming earnestly. "Aniyo!" Jin Shiming shook his head and explained, "The situation at the company is quite complicated. My contract is about to expire, so I plan to re-plan my development route." The company that Kim Se-myeong signed with is DSP Media, which was once as famous as SM Entertainment. As early as 2005, he was spotted by a scout while working and was invited to join DSP company. In the words of the company's president Li Haoyan, it would be a waste of Jin Shiming's face if he wasn't used as an actor. However, at that time, there were strict restrictions on foreigners appearing on TV in the peninsula. In order to circumvent the rules, Han Geng of Super Junior wore a mask and a hood and mingled with his teammates as a "backup dancer." This is not even the case for idols, let alone actors with higher status. The Peninsula film and television industry will never allow a Chinese to play the leading role! President Li didn't dare to take the gamble and could only let Jin Shiming be a trainee in the company first. (End of this chapter)
