Chapter 98 Fried Mushrooms Due to the recent rain shower, there were not as many people in the cemetery as expected. Nearly ten years later, Jin Shiming came to the cemetery for the first time after his parents' funeral, but he could still clearly remember the specific location. "Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you." Jin Shiming stared at the names of his parents on the tombstone. Those yellowed and mottled memories, like old photos, suddenly became vivid and bright, and kept flashing back in his mind. Alas, they are gone after all! "It's all my fault for being too weak and avoiding reality. I haven't swept your graves for so many years. You must be very angry, right?" Jin Shiming put down the bag in his hand, took out a clean towel and wiped the tombstone. "In fact, I also know that if your spirits are still in heaven, you must be more concerned and worried than angry with me." Although his parents can be strict at times, their love and care for him can be described as meticulous. Jin Shiming could fully imagine how much his parents in the other world must be missing and loving their only child.

"These years have been really hard, but fortunately, I have met many good people!" Jin Shiming looked at Jin Shaoqing, who was presenting a bouquet of flowers and helping to arrange the tributes, and there was a hint of comfort in his eyes. Not only Kim So-kyung, but also his grandparents in Peninsula, Sejeong's sister, Suzuki Taichi, and the members of BD Entertainment...all of these people gave Kim Se-myung great support and help. "So, don't worry! I've grown up, and I will live well even if you're not around!" Jin Shiming half-knelt on the ground, his forehead lightly resting on the tombstone, and spoke in a low but firm voice. Jin Shaoqing, who was watching this scene nearby, had her slightly red and swollen eyes filled with tears again. But this time, she was not feeling sad or upset for Jin Shiming. On the contrary, these were tears of joy and emotion. In a sense, ever since the car accident, time has stopped flowing for Jin Shiming and he is trapped in the past. Only now did his time finally begin to flow again, and he finally walked out of the maze that had trapped him for nearly ten years. Just let time pass! "Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys." Jin Shiming stood up and reached out to pull Jin Shaoqing to his side. "Her name is Jin Shaoqing, and she's my fried mushroom!" Jin Shiming introduced. Jin Shaoqing heard it very clearly, especially when Jin Shiming emphasized, he even used Korean words. Oil! Fried! Green! Mushrooms! Jin Shaoqing was sure that he had not heard it wrong, and there was no possibility of auditory hallucination. As we all know, this word is the phonetic reading of "女亲旧", which literally means "girlfriend". Well, specifically referring to female partners in a romantic relationship! In the peninsula, if you are referring to a woman who is not in a romantic relationship but just a friend, you will generally use "yeosachin" or "yeoja saram chingu". With Jin Shiming's level of Korean, it is impossible for him to use such basic words incorrectly.

"Wait a minute! Oppa, when did I become your...your father?" Jin Shaoqing blushed and pretended to be reserved. Although she didn't feel disgusted in her heart, she was even secretly happy, so happy that she could hardly suppress the smile on her face. "Just now, you expressed your love to me so passionately and kissed me in broad daylight. Now you are planning to deny it?" Jin Shiming asked with a smile. Jin Shaoqing opened his mouth and looked at Jin Shiming in astonishment. She never knew in the past that this Oppa actually had such an indecent side! "I'm not teasing you anymore!" Jin Shiming put away his teasing look and said to Jin Shaoqing seriously, "Aqing, are you willing to be my girlfriend?" Even though their relationship has transformed and sublimated to the point of being a real couple, the window paper has not been broken after all! Jin Shiming can more or less understand that the reason why girls generally attach importance to the sense of ritual is actually that they hope to gain enough attention from the other party in this intimate relationship. Boys usually think that they should take practical actions and ignore some things that they think are formalism. However, the fact is that it is difficult for people to be in harmony with each other. If you don’t say something, others really won’t understand. Even a married couple who have been together day and night for decades can sometimes have difficulty communicating, let alone young couples who are in the ambiguous period? Therefore, do not be stingy in expressing your feelings and thoughts. Say it boldly if you like it, and communicate in time if there are conflicts. Similarly, when a relationship is well established, the process of confession may seem meaningless at first glance, and at best it provides a sense of ritual. But since it is such a simple and insignificant thing, why not do it? What's all this talk about being too embarrassed to talk about and actions speaking louder than words? It's simply that you don't like it enough! "Yes! I do! Oppa, please make it official with me!" Jin Shaoqing felt the love from Jin Shiming and nodded heavily in response. Jin Shiming clenched the hand in his palm and truly felt the warmth and happiness of home. Even if the world is desolate and cold, as long as he holds her hand, he will have the courage to fight everything! "Dad, Mom, I'm very happy now! You should also live happily in the other world!" Jin Shiming took out the incense and lit it. The blue smoke rises up and merges into the clear blue sky like the sea after the rain. …… After sweeping the tomb and returning home, the two first took a shower and changed their clothes. Then, Jin Shiming began to prepare for the sacrifice. Fortunately, Jin Shaoqing was not an old lady who had never done housework. She had decent cooking skills and she felt obliged to ask to help Jin Shiming. Jin Shiming did not refuse politely. While Jin Shaoqing was tying her hair with a hair tie, he carefully helped her tie her apron. "Oppa, do we look like a newlywed couple like this?" Jin Shaoqing took the opportunity to stand on tiptoe, kissed Jin Shiming on the face, and said happily with squinting eyes. "Not like that! Because you are not old enough to get married yet!" Jin Shiming replied very unromanticly. If this is really true, he will be in big trouble! It's still too early to get married. "Oppa, let's not make our relationship public for the time being, okay?" Jin Shaoqing suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at Jin Shiming and said. "Are you worried about the negative impact?" Jin Shiming guessed Jin Shaoqing's concerns. "Being in a relationship before debuting is a disqualification for an idol. It will deceive and disappoint future fans. Besides, Oppa, you are still my boss. If some rumors spread, I am worried that it will affect your career." Jin Shaoqing said worriedly. Not to mention other things, just looking at the trainees and employees within BD Entertainment, how should they view Jin Shaoqing in the future? Even if Jin Shaoqing wins a chance to debut in the future with her own strength, there will still be people who think that she is a member of the royal family and some even say unpleasant things about her behind her back.

As the boss of the company, Jin Shiming will also lose his prestige, leading to discordant voices within the company. "Then let's not make it public for now. This will be better for everyone." After weighing the pros and cons, Jin Shiming stroked Jin Shaoqing's head and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Qing!" "I don't feel wronged. It's you, Oppa, who has a girlfriend like me, a trainee who has neither freedom nor public relations. Don't you think it's a pity?" Jin Shaoqing rubbed Jin Shiming's chest, looking a little frustrated. From a secular perspective, the gap between her and Jin Shiming can be said to be quite huge. Unfortunately, the two of them cannot be public, and are destined not to be able to stick together as they wish. Can such a relationship really last? "Aqing, we are still young and have unfulfilled dreams and careers for each other. The future is long and we have a lot of time left. What's wrong with a short wait?" Jin Shiming said softly. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night? (End of this chapter)
