Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 490

"Zhen Li, didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"

"Ah~, no?"

"I slept very well yesterday. I slept until now."

Looking at Huang Xu who cared about her, Choi Jin-ri was a little nervous when she answered.

It seemed that she went to bed the earliest yesterday, and was the first one among the few people to wash up and go to sleep.

But after Goo Hara fell asleep, she opened her eyes again and thought about yesterday's discovery over and over again, so much so that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

And this discovery is about Huang Xu and his girlfriend.

Now that Huang Xu has discovered that I didn’t sleep well, I can’t help but feel guilty.

Huang Xu, who was sitting opposite her, looked at Choi Jin-ri's nervous look and couldn't help but look at her carefully, wanting to see what was going on.

Looking at the obvious dark circles under Choi Jin-ri's eyes, she really didn't look like she had a good rest yesterday.

Of course, this is not a big deal. She has been on a death journey for more than a month, so it is understandable that she didn't come back for a day of rest.

And at this moment, Huang Xu's attention was not on her dark circles.

Choi Jin-ri, who had just woken up, had no time to change her clothes and came out wearing only a very cute suspender nightgown.

Because of this, her figure and physical advantages were fully displayed in front of Huang Xu.

As a member of a girl group, Choi Jin-ri not only has a beautiful face and fair skin, but also a pretty amazing figure.

Although it doesn’t have the majestic headlights of Sunny, it is also well-proportioned.

And don't forget, she is 1.7 meters tall. Among the girls Huang Xu knows, only Choi Sooyoung from Girls' Generation can compare to her.

The rest, such as Park Hyomin and Lim Yoona, are slightly inferior.

Now her long, slender and white legs were nakedly displayed in front of Huang Xu.

Huang Xu couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Of course, if it were just this, Huang Xu would not have any reaction. At most he would just appreciate the beautiful things.

This made Huang Xu quickly retract his gaze and say to Cui Zhenli.

"It seems that you have been exhausted during this period of time."

"I slept for so long last night, and the dark circles under my eyes haven't disappeared yet."

"Ah, Oppa, are my dark circles serious?"

When Cui Zhenli heard Huang Xu say this to her, she quickly took out her cell phone to check the condition of her dark circles.

As a young woman and a professional girl group idol, she attaches great importance to her appearance.

Especially in front of Huang Xu, a man she has a crush on, she wants to maintain a good image.

Huang Xu looked at her anxious expression and comforted her softly.

"It's okay, Zhenli, it's just a little dark circle under the eyes, it's not serious."

"After eating, I should be fine if I catch up on some sleep in the afternoon."

"Anyway, your schedule is in the evening, so you still have time."

"Can't you just use concealer to cover it up?"

"Yeah, that's all we can do."

Looking at the dark circles under her eyes in the camera lens, Choi Jin-ri could only nod with a bitter face.

Choi Jin-ri knows very well the reason for the dark circles under her eyes.

It was because I was worried about the relationship between Huang Xu and Kim Taeyeon last night. I couldn't figure it out and couldn't sleep, which is why I felt like this.

So she can only bear the consequences of the dark circles under her eyes.

Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli's wrinkled little face and comforted her softly.

"Okay, Zhenli, the dark circles are very light and not very obvious. And if you take more rest, they will disappear soon."

"Well, now hurry up and wash up and prepare for dinner. After dinner you can sleep for a while."

"Besides, it has been more than ten hours since you went to bed yesterday. You must be starving."

"Hey, I'm a little hungry."

After hearing Huang Xu's words, especially after seeing Huang Xu's reaction, Choi Jin-ri also realized something.

Then he temporarily forgot about the dark circles under his eyes, walked directly in front of Huang Xu, looked into Huang Xu's eyes and asked.

"Oppa, what delicious food did you make for me today?"

"I'm very hungry now, I need to have a big meal."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you enjoy your meal today."

"I'll heat up some food for you now, so hurry up and wash up."

Looking at Choi Jin-ri who was standing right in front of him, Huang Xu's heart tightened and he took half a step back without leaving a trace.

After giving a simple reply, he walked around Choi Jin-ri and left Apartment 1202.

Choi Jin-ri looked at Huang Xu's back as he ran away in a hurry, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"It seems that my figure is still good?"

"Oppa is actually shy."

After muttering to herself, Choi Jin-ri looked at her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room and commented narcissistically with a smile.

“I’m in really good shape!”

However, after showing it off, she remembered Huang Xu's muscles swollen due to strength training just now, and said something with great annoyance.

"It was such a good opportunity just now, why didn't I touch Oppa's muscles?"

"I was thinking about touching it yesterday."

“It should feel great!”

Just when Cui Zhenli was secretly regretting, Huang Xu had already returned to Apartment 1201.

After arriving in the kitchen, he washed his face first, sobered up, put the scene he had just seen behind his mind, and then began to prepare breakfast for Choi Jinri.

No, at this point in time, it can be said to be lunch.

In order to nourish Choi Jin-ri's body today, he got up in the morning and cooked a big pot of angelica, astragalus, and codonopsis pigeon soup in a casserole.

Chinese medicinal materials such as Angelica, Astragalus and Codonopsis have the effects of nourishing blood, activating blood circulation, replenishing vital energy and strengthening the spleen and stomach.

Pigeons are also very nutritious. There is a saying among the people that a pigeon is better than nine chickens.

It can be said that this pot of stew is very suitable for Choi Jin-ri's current extremely tired physical condition.

Of course, what Sunny, Goo Hara and the others drank this morning was also this pot of pigeon soup.

Not to mention that the portion of the soup was large enough for each of them to have a bowl and still have some left over.

Take the ingredients for this pot of pigeon soup, for example, it is a very troublesome thing.

In Korea, especially in Seoul, the streets are full of pigeons, and Koreans love to feed pigeons.

But the pigeons are said to be descendants of the 88 peace doves released by the South Korean government during the Seoul Olympics.

Because they have no natural enemies and Koreans don't eat pigeons, they have taken root in Korea and have become somewhat rampant now.

Although there are a lot of pigeons, the pigeons Huang Xu stewed today were not produced in Korea, but imported from China.

Although the pigeons coming through the cold chain are not very fresh, at least their safety can be guaranteed.

In addition, the medicinal ingredients in the soup were all bought by Huang Xu at a high price.

And it takes several hours to cook.

It can be said that this pot of pigeon soup is extremely difficult, both in terms of the purchase of raw materials and the cooking process. Huang Xu naturally couldn't make it just for Cui Zhenli.

Just as Huang Xu was heating the pigeon soup over a low fire and then starting to stir-fry the vegetables that had been washed long ago, the scene he had just seen kept appearing in his mind and could not be shaken off.

Huang Xu, who has several girlfriends, has actually seen this kind of scene before.

Except for sunny, which has to be fixed because it is too big.

Goo Hara and Kim Taeyeon often keep their underwear vacuum when they don't need to go out or when there are no outsiders at home.

Because it is really comfortable and relatively cool.

"After she got up, why did she come out without wearing any underwear?"

"Don't you know that there is an outsider like me?"

"Are you so confident in me?"

After making a few self-deprecating remarks, Huang Xu quickly calmed down and began to concentrate on making lunch for Choi Jin-ri.

Because of this, he did not notice that Choi Jin-ri had quietly appeared at the kitchen door.

"Oppa, you're so handsome!"

"No matter how many times I've seen it, every time I see Oppa cooking, he still looks so handsome."

Looking at Huang Xu's busy back in the kitchen, the vegetables flying up and down with Huang Xu's movements, and the overflowing aroma, I was deeply intoxicated by it.

This lifelike scene is what she has always longed for, as she has been living under the care of others with her mother since she was a child.

However, although she liked this scene very much, she quickly came to her senses when she saw that Huang Xu had not noticed her.

Then he tiptoed behind Huang Xu and hugged him.

He stroked Huang Xu's abdominal muscles through his clothes with his hands, marveling at the angular and elastic touch, and then said to Huang Xu.

"Oppa, it smells so good, what delicious food have you made for Zhenli?"

As he spoke, he also poked his head out from behind Huang Xu, ready to see what delicious food Huang Xu had prepared for him.

Huang Xu was startled by Choi Jin-ri's sudden hug and his body stiffened. He relaxed only after hearing her voice.

"It's the truth. You scared me."

"I made you pigeon soup today. Last time you complained that you didn't have enough water spinach with garlic and fermented black beans. In addition, I made some specialties that I brought back."

"I will definitely make sure you have a delicious meal today."

"Well, thank you, Oppa."

After listening to the breakfast, no, lunch, that Huang Xu prepared for her, Choi Jin-ri broke into a bright smile.

First of all, the fact that Huang Xu prepared so many things for himself already reflects how much he values ​​himself.

She was even more touched that he could still remember what she liked and the dishes she didn’t eat enough of last time.

Even in the corners of the eyes, there was some moisture.

So he hugged Huang Xu's lower back with even more force, as if he wanted to merge himself into Huang Xu's body.

Huang Xu, who was being hugged, felt something strange about Choi Jin-ri, but did not struggle. Instead, he gently patted the arms that were around him.

"Okay Zhenli, let Oppa go quickly, or the food will get burnt."

"Sorry Oppa, I'm a little..."

At this time, Cui Zhenli also woke up from her excitement and quickly let go of Huang Xu.

Then he prepared to apologize for his recent behavior.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huang Xu who turned around.

"Okay, Zhenli, it's nothing. Have you washed your hands?"

"If you've washed it, please get me a plate. The food will be ready soon."

"Okay Oppa, I'll go now."

When Choi Jin-ri heard that Huang Xu not only did not cause trouble for her, but also changed the subject to help her out, she immediately turned around happily to help.

On the one hand, Huang Xu was so considerate and didn't put himself in an awkward situation.

On the other hand, it’s because she also likes cooking with others and likes this homely atmosphere.

With the help of Choi Jin-ri, Huang Xu quickly prepared lunch.

A few minutes later, looking at the pigeon soup, stir-fried water spinach, and a platter of sliced ​​red sausage and braised meat on the dining table, Cui Zhenli clasped her hands together and said to Huang Xu.

"Thank you for the lunch, Oppa. (I'm about to start eating)."

"(Please eat the delicious food)."

"Inside!"

As the standard Korean meal ceremony ended, Choi Jin-ri couldn't wait to taste the pigeon soup.

“Mmm~~~, it smells so good!”

"As expected, the soup made by Oppa is the best."

Choi Jin-ri couldn't help but close her eyes as she took a sip of the warm pigeon soup and felt the delicious and rich flavor of the soup.

Several kinds of medicinal herbs are added to the pigeon soup and stewed together. The aroma of the herbs removes their own fishy smell, leaving only the pure meaty aroma.

After a long period of stewing, the bitter taste of the medicinal ingredients itself becomes minimal.

It can be said that after taking a sip, the rich meaty aroma and the faint medicinal aroma still make Choi Jin-ri, who has already drunk it several times, intoxicated by it.

Huang Xu looked at Choi Jin-ri's exaggerated performance and joked with a smile.

"Truth, is it that exaggerated?"

"It's not like I haven't sent it to you before, and you've drunk it several times, so why are you acting so exaggerated?"

"And I remember that your company also bought you some ginseng chicken soup for your health."

"How can they be the same? Oppa~!"

Hearing Huang Xu's joke, Cui Zhenli quickly opened her eyes.

"Not to mention the taste of these soups made by Oppa, they taste much better than the ginseng chicken soup bought at the company."

"Besides, this also contains Oppa's concern for me, so of course I have to savor it."

"How can those outside compare to Oppa."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is!"

Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli's serious expression and immediately surrendered. He then pointed at the vegetables in front of her and said.

"Try this vegetable and see if it's the flavor you've always wanted to taste."

"How could that be? I like to eat anything Oppa cooks."

As Choi Jin-ri spoke, she stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetable, and then began to taste it with relish.

While tasting it, he praised Huang Xu.

"Hmm~~, it still has this familiar taste, so delicious."

"As expected of Oppa."

"As long as you like it!"

Looking at Choi Jin-ri's exaggerated performance, Huang Xu couldn't help but laugh.

Then he picked up a piece of sausage and put it in Choi Jin-ri's bowl.

"Come, try this red sausage and goose liver sausage. I brought them back from China a few days ago. See if you like the taste."

"Well, let me try it."
