Chapter 240 First Arrival at the B&B
The sun is shining in the sky.

Jin Qixuan slowly woke up from his sleep.

He stretched and checked the time.

It's already eight o'clock.

This was a very comfortable sleep.

Pick up the phone and take a look.

Although there are 99+ unread messages, Jin Qixuan is still paying attention to the two pinned messages sent by Lee Ji-eun.

The first one was a question sent at 2 a.m. [Is the event not over yet? ]

The second one was an emoticon with hands on hips sent at 2:30.

Jin Qixuan didn't understand what she meant by sending this emoticon of her hands on hips.

But he knew that he seemed to have missed the chance to get on base.

Most likely, Lee Ji-eun has already prepared herself mentally.

As a result, not only did I not go, I didn't even say hello.

Thinking of this, Jin Qixuan felt so regretful.

Drinking makes things worse!

Given Lee Ji-eun's petty mind, I guess this matter will be postponed indefinitely.

Afterwards, Jin Qixuan sent her a "bow to apologize" emoticon on his phone.

Then, lift the quilt and prepare to get out of bed.

"What the hell is this?"

Jin Qixuan lowered his head and looked at the two pieces of transparent tape clearly stuck on his calves, and reached out to tear them off.

A piercing pain suddenly came over me.

"hiss……"

Which wicked person did this?
Jin Qixuan gasped and cursed while tearing off the tape that was stuck to his leg hair.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Jin Qixuan made up his mind, gritted his teeth and tore it apart fiercely.

Then, wailing sounds were heard in the house.

Soon, Sheng Bingxu came after hearing the news.

"What's wrong? Eh? Why is there one hair missing from your leg?"

Jin Qixuan stretched out his hands to cover his calves somewhat embarrassedly, and said, "I'm trying a very new way of removing hair... But, brother, why are you here?"

"Ah, I sent you back too late last night, so I stayed here for one night to save myself the trouble tomorrow. Oh, and pack enough clothes for a week. We're going to Jeju Island soon because the flight is at 11 o'clock."

"Jeju Island? A week? Shouldn't I be going to the roadshow of Shinsegae Duty Free Shop and Etude House today?"

Sheng Bingxu smiled and said, "The schedule has been changed. I'll give you a break so you can have a good rest."

"The merchant side...?"

"I've already said hello. And... now there are painless hair removal devices, why do you still use this self-harming method?"

"Brother, you don't understand. This is a fashion."

Sheng Bingxu: “…”

Okay, okay, I don’t understand and I don’t want to understand.

Wait for Sheng Bingxu to leave the house.

Jin Qixuan suddenly recalled what the akimbo-arms emoticon sent by Lee Ji-eun meant.

This girl must have come to take revenge on me in the middle of the night!
After all, there are only three people besides me who know the house password.

Think of this.

Jin Qixuan sent a message to Li Zhien:

"Well done, don't let me see you!"

……

On the way to the airport.

Sheng Bingxu has already made it clear to Jin Qixuan the destination of this trip to Jeju Island.

"So it's a variety show."

Speaking of which, it was already a year ago that Jin Qixuan last appeared on a variety show.

The artistic sense that I learned from Yoo Jae Suk and others has already degenerated.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan was still a little worried about whether he could achieve the desired effect on the show.

Worries vary from person to person.

Jin Qixuan was afraid that his lack of artistic talent would result in the show not being funny.

What Sheng Bingxu is worried about is that Jin Qixuan is too artistic and his male god image will be shattered.

This is also one of the reasons why he has never allowed Jin Qixuan to participate in variety shows.

The two discussed their concerns on the way.

In the end, I decided to let Jin Qixuan just be himself and not be funny just for the sake of being funny.

After buying some gifts for the couple at the airport, Jin Qixuan and Sheng Bingxu boarded the plane carrying large and small bags.

After getting on the plane, Jin Qixuan took out his tablet and started reviewing his lessons.

Jin Qixuan's attendance this semester is pitifully low, and he might even fail the course.

But... there's nothing we can do about it.

Sometimes it is really difficult to balance career and study.

By postponing his schedule, Jin Qixuan could concentrate on reviewing for half a month before the final exam.

Two hours later.

The two arrived at Jeju Airport.

This is Kim Ki-hyeon's second visit to Jeju Island.

The last time was last year when I came to the horse farm here with the GQ magazine team to shoot the magazine.

By the way, the air in Jeju Island is much fresher than that in Seoul.

This place was built as a tourist attraction.

While having perfect transportation, it also pays great attention to greening.

It is said that Jeju Island can have its current development thanks to the 800 million DNF warriors in China.

After getting off the plane, the car sent by the program crew was already waiting.

The group said hello and drove towards the B&B.

Forty-five minutes later.

The car stopped at the intersection of Lee Hyori's estate.

Jin Qixuan simply stretched his body, put his hands on his hips and took two breaths of fresh air.

Then he turned around, took out an electric wheelchair from the trunk and fiddled with it for a while.

Seeing Jin Qixuan sitting in a wheelchair and trying out the controller, the staff were stunned.

When he was picking up the plane at the airport, he saw Sheng Bingxu putting the wheelchair into the trunk.

He thought it was for donation or for someone.

Unexpectedly, it was Jin Qixuan who wanted to sit? ?
Sheng Bingxu saw the staff's dull faces and explained with a smile:
"Qixuan is going to shoot a movie in the second half of the year, so he wants to experience it in advance. It's not very convenient in the city, but there are fewer people here, which is perfect."

In "My First Brother", Kim Ki-hyeon will play the role of Se-ha, a disabled person with high paraplegia.

In the early days, he sat in a manual wheelchair pushed by someone, and later he sat in an electric wheelchair controlled by voice.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan bought a push wheelchair and an electric wheelchair in advance so that they could be used in subsequent filming.

Sheng Bingxu had also helped him collect a lot of interviews and documentaries about patients with high paraplegia for him to learn and imitate.

But because of too many schedules, Jin Qixuan hasn't had time to watch these videos.

So, although it is called a rest and vacation, it is more than just a schedule.

After communicating all matters clearly with the staff, Jin Qixuan set off in a high-profile manner in his own car.

It's called high profile.

It’s because his entire outfit, from head to toe, including the suitcases, are all products endorsed by him.

The main focus is to do our best and ensure that merchants don’t waste their money.

The wheelchair brought by Jin Qixuan is mouth-controlled, and the front, back, left and right movements can be controlled by holding the sensor in the mouth.

Although there are wheelchairs on the market that are controlled by head movements, they are very expensive.

So after some consideration, the director decided to choose this one. (The crew reimbursed the wheelchair fee.)
But Sheng Bingxu didn't let Jin Qixuan destroy his image like this from the beginning.

So Jin Qixuan can only control it with his hands for the time being.

Jin Qixuan arrived at the door carrying the suitcase in one hand and controlling the joystick with the other.

He stood up, rang the doorbell, and sat back down.

Inside the house, the doorbell rang.

The sound of conversation paused.

"At this time..." Li Shangshun turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall, and said, "It should not be a guest, right?"

Although it’s called “Hyori’s Homestay”, it was actually her husband who really sorted out the entire process.

"You'll know if you take a look."

Li Shangshun walked to the blue screen of the video doorbell, stared at the display for a long time, and said:
"Looks familiar... Eh? Isn't this Jongkook's nephew?"

"Mo?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun instantly lost the nervousness and restraint she had when she first arrived, and quickly jumped to the monitor.

After seeing the man on the screen clearly, Lee Ji-eun's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up, and her heart was at peace and she looked extremely beautiful in an instant.

Seeing Li Zhien's look, Li Xiaoli smiled and said, "I just said that I was reluctant to use the weak Zhien. Qixuan came at the right time."

Lee Sang-soon turned his head to look at Lee Hyo-ri, then at Lee Ji-eun, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe you can only order the weak Ji-eun around."

Lee Hyo-ri was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"He..." Li Shangshun pointed at the display screen and said, "He is sitting in a wheelchair. It doesn't look convenient for you to use him..."

"what???"

Because the doorbell's blue screen calling function is broken.

Lee Hyori could only press the door opening button with doubt.

Then he rushed out, put on his shoes, and trotted to the door with a group of dogs to greet Jin Qixuan.

Lee Ji-eun also jumped and followed behind Lee Hyori.

The entrance to the manor.

With a "click", the double doors of the courtyard opened.

Seeing that the door was open to a gap that was only big enough for an adult to pass sideways, Jin Qixuan estimated the distance and felt that his car might be stuck.

So, Jin Qixuan got out of the wheelchair and reached out to push open the broken door.

As your vision broadens.

The scenery inside the manor appeared in front of Jin Qixuan.

A winding and flat stone road is lined with lush woods.

Waiting to enter the inner courtyard.

You can smell the fresh fragrance of flowers and hear the birds singing in the woods.

Come closer.

You can see soft green grass and regularly cultivated fields.

Wait a little closer.

You can see Lee Ji-eun coming towards you like an elf under the lazy afternoon sunshine.

Of course, Lee Hyori, who was running in front, was naturally ignored by Kim Ki-hyeon.

"Hey hey, what happened to you?"

Lee Hyori put her hand on her forehead to block the sun and shouted to Kim Ki-hyeon.

Before Jin Qixuan could answer, a group of dogs rushed up.

It wagged its tail and circled around him, sniffing and sniffing.

Obviously, the dogs were very curious about this new two-wheeled object.

Jin Qixuan bowed to Lee Hyo-ri while sitting in a wheelchair and said, "It's a long story. My leg was injured when I got up this morning." Lee Hyo-ri looked at Jin Qixuan's leg curiously, walked behind him and pushed the wheelchair, and asked, "Oh? Did you break a bone?"

Jin Qixuan stared at Li Zhien and said with gritted teeth:
"No, I was bullied by the transparent tape."

Lee Hyori: “???”

"Pfft hahahahahaha..."

Lee Hyori became even more confused when she saw Lee Ji-eun squatting on the ground laughing.

I really can’t deny my age. Now I can’t understand what people in their 20s say…

Li Zhien wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Lee Hyori, "Senior, let me push him."

"Ah...Okay, you two should know each other, right?"

Jin Qixuan snorted coldly and said, "I don't know him."

"Then it's a good opportunity for you to get to know each other. After all, you'll be living under the same roof for two weeks, so you should get to know each other better as soon as possible."

As she said that, Lee Hyori smiled and gave her seat to Lee Ji-eun, and reached out to take the suitcase from Kim Ki-hyeon's hand.

From an angle that Lee Hyori couldn't see, Lee Ji-eun playfully stuck out her tongue at Kim Ki-hyeon.

Seeing this, the fist on Jin Qixuan's leg hardened.

Soon, the three people and five dogs arrived at the door of the villa.

Li Shangshun was standing barefoot at the door with his hands behind his back, welcoming Jin Qixuan's arrival with a smile on his face.

But before he could say hello, Lee Hyori came forward, put her arms around Lee Sang-soon's neck, and said coquettishly:
"Oppa, do you know what it means to be bullied by tape? Just now, when Qixuan finished speaking, Jieun was squatting on the ground laughing."

"I don't know what it means to be bullied by tape." Lee Sang-soon looked at Lee Hyo-ri lovingly and said, "But I know they seem to be bullied by our love."

Lee Hyori turned around and saw Kim Kye-hyun and Lee Ji-eun with expressions that said "I should be under the car", and she instantly burst into giggles.

Lee Sang-soon gently patted Lee Hyo-ri on the back to stop her from showing off her affection: "Okay, okay, let's work together to lift Qixuan up."

Seeing this, the two explorers who were the first to check in came over and said, "We'll help too."

"No need." Jin Qixuan raised his hand to stop them and stood up: "I can do it myself."

Li Shangshun: “…”

Lee Hyori: “…”

Explorer: “…”

Is this person...something seriously ill?
"Is your leg okay?"

Jin Qixuan didn't reply, but just patted his thighs twice and then gave a thumbs up.

"and you……?"

Jin Qixuan smiled brightly and said, "It's necessary for work."

Looking at Jin Qixuan's agile figure, the four people and five dogs fell into chaos.

Go inside.

Jin Qixuan squatted on the ground, opened the suitcase, and took out the gifts he bought for the couple at the airport.

Seeing this scene, Lee Ji-eun hurriedly ran to where she placed her suitcase and took out the gifts she brought for the two of them.

The reason why Jin Qixuan is liked wherever he goes is not only because of his appearance, but more importantly because he is sweet-talker and knows how to deal with people.

Lee Ji-eun was completely influenced by Kim Ki-hyun.

The day Jin Qixuan met her mother, he left a very deep impression on her.

It takes time to learn to be sweet-talker, but if she is good at dealing with people and has good judgment, she can still learn it well.

"You are here to work, why bring gifts?"

That being said, when the two handed over the gifts one after the other, Lee Hyori and her husband couldn't stop smiling.

Everyone likes to receive gifts and likes the feeling of being valued.

"As a junior, I should do so."

After Jin Qixuan finished speaking, Li Zhien nodded repeatedly.

She is not very good at speaking, but she can still nod and agree.

"OK then."

Lee Hyori nodded and opened the gift with a smile.

Li Shangshun looked at the steaming ramen on his table, which he had just taken two bites of, and said, "By the way, Qixuan hasn't eaten yet, right?"

"I haven't eaten yet, but don't worry about me eating, I'll make it myself."

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan took out a bunch of bottles and jars from the suitcase, as well as a box of homemade vegetable salad made that morning.

"Are you not feeling well?"

Seeing this, Li Shangshun, who knew nothing about fitness, thought that Jin Qixuan had been taking various medicines.

"Ah? I'm...well, right?"

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan rolled up his sleeves and showed his arms with bulging veins.

"Wow……"

The two explorers sighed at the right moment.

"Oh, Oppa, don't worry about him. He's just like his uncle, taking all kinds of vitamins, amino acids, fish oil and the like."

After hearing Lee Hyori's explanation, Lee Sang-soon nodded hesitantly.

Then, Jin Qixuan brought the vegetable salad to the table and started eating lunch.

"How do you two find the time? Do you have enough time for two weeks?"

Lee Hyori put the gift aside after looking at it and turned to ask the two of them.

Li Zhien nodded and replied: "If there is work in the middle, I will go back, and then come back."

Li Shangshun leaned back in his chair and asked Jin Qixuan: "What about Qixuan?"

Jin Qixuan replied while eating, "I'm fine. All the notices have been postponed to next month, but I have to go back for the final exam at the end of the month."

Li Shangshun looked surprised: "Exam? Are you still in school?"

"Yes, I am studying for a master's degree at Central University."

"Wow, a top student. Where's Jieun?"

Indeed, in the Korean entertainment industry where most people graduate from arts high schools, Kim Ki-hyun, who is currently studying for a master's degree, is indeed considered a top student.

"Uh... I'm not very smart and I'm not good at studying, so I only went to high school..."

Lee Ji-eun has always been self-conscious about her academic qualifications, so she looked unnatural when she said this.

Seeing this, Lee Hyori pushed Lee Sang-soon, meaning that he was talking about things that were not relevant.

But Lee Sang-soon also feels aggrieved because he doesn't understand Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Hyori can be called "national brother and sister" together with Yoo Jae-suk, so her ability to smooth things over is naturally extraordinary.

Soon, she encouraged Li Zhien:
"Hey, what's wrong with graduating from high school? Why don't you ask a graduate student if he makes more money than a high school girl?"

After Lee Hyori said this, Lee Ji-eun immediately clapped her hands and laughed.

Jin Qixuan: “…”

The already tasteless vegetable salad now tastes even worse...

Seeing that Jin Qixuan was silenced by her, Lee Hyo-ri smiled and said, "Qixuan, have you been to Jeju Island?"

"I did a magazine shoot at the horse farm here last year."

“Where’s Jieun?”

"My grandmother's home is in Jeju Island, and occasionally my family will come here for tourism."

……

After chatting for a while, seeing that Kim Ki-hyeon had finished eating, Lee Hyo-ri asked Lee Sang-soon to take the two of them on a tour of their future workplace.

First, I went to the most important workplace, which would be the one I would visit most frequently in the future—the kitchen.

The kitchen in Hyori's house looks like it has been lived in for a long time. All kinds of sundries are piled up and the kitchen counter is also full.

The combination of solid wood cabinets + stainless steel kitchen counters + white wall tiles looks a bit Japanese and not too cold.

Storage uses open wall cabinets and cupboards, making it easy to take seasonings and tableware.

A warm light is installed above the kitchen counter to supplement the light blocked by the wall cabinets, preventing you from cutting your hands due to carelessness when cutting vegetables.

Afterwards, the two followed Li Shangshun to the spacious living room with a high ceiling.

There is no coffee table, no excessive decorations, but a wooden floor where you can lie down freely and take a nap while enjoying the fresh breeze coming in from the yard.

Then, the two of them followed to the bedroom on the second floor.

It's like a big attic here, with a big bed next to the big window.

There are open storage cabinets on both sides of the bed, covered with ethnic-style tapestries to prevent dust and decorate the space.

There is no bathroom, the bathtub and washbasin are in the bedroom without any isolation or separation of wet and dry areas.

The bathroom was originally open plan, but because it was going to accommodate guests, it was blocked off with wooden partitions.

Judging from the layout of Lee Hyori's bedroom, the two of them must have quite a lot of fun on a daily basis.

Seeing this, while going downstairs, Jin Qixuan raised his eyebrows at Li Zhien subtly.

The response that Kim Ki-hyeon got was Lee Ji-eun's cute "Pah".

After touring the residence, Li Shangshun took the two to the music room for a look around.

After touring the entire villa, Li Shangshun led the two back to the living room.

Then, the couple sat on the sofa naturally.

Jin Qixuan squeezed in and sat next to Lee Hyori naturally.

Seeing this, Lee Hyo-ri bumped into Kim Ki-hyun's shoulder and said, "Hey, why are you sitting here? Why, are you asking us to retire on our first day?"

"Well... not impossible."

After saying something joking, Jin Qixuan stood up and walked to Li Zhien, and hooked the small stool she was about to sit on with his leg.

Then, Li Zhien sat down on the ground.

The dog wandering around her howled and scolded her because of the lack of weight.

Then, Jin Qixuan ignored Li Zhien who was staring at him and sat on the stool.

Seeing this, Lee Hyori always felt that they should not be strangers.

On the contrary, this should be a joke that can only be made when two people are very familiar with each other.

But she didn't point out anything. She cleared her throat and asked, "Can the two employees cook?"

Hearing Lee Hyo-ri's question, Kim Qixuan immediately raised his hand: "Qixuan!"

Lee Hyori raised her chin towards Kim Ki-hyeon, indicating that she was ready to speak.

"I can cook boiled beef, boiled chicken, boiled vegetables..."

"Ah, everyone would do this, right?" Lee Hyo-ri gave Kim Ki-hyun a disdainful look, then turned to ask Lee Ji-eun, "Where's Ji-eun?"

"Uh... I can only make simple fried rice and cook ramen."

Lee Hyori was speechless: "So, the food delivery industry is booming because of people like you!"

"This is progress in the development of the times! It solves the dilemma of working people who have no time to cook. This is an invention that benefits mankind!"

Li Shangshun gave Jin Qixuan a thumbs up and said, "As expected of a graduate student, you are standing on the moral high ground, which is irrefutable."

"What about cleaning? Do you usually clean at home?"

Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien looked at each other subconsciously.

To be honest, there was cleaning, but not much.

From the fair and delicate backs of their hands, it can be seen that they usually do very little work.

Jin Qixuan didn't try to set up a character, he just told the truth:

"I spend less time at home and often stay in hotels arranged by the crew. So compared to cleaning, I may be more suitable for some physical work."

Li Zhien was the same, she smiled innocently and said: "I am almost the same..."

"Ah... I'm really going crazy. The production team didn't ask them to come here to work as part-time workers. They are torturing us! No, I want to replace the staff!"

Having said that, Lee Hyori pretended to pick up the phone and make a call.

Li Shangshun stretched out his hand to stop her, shook his head and laughed, "It's just as I guessed. In the end, I still have to serve you three big stars."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan patted his chest with a righteous look:
"No, just tell IUxi if you have any instructions."

Lee Ji-eun: “???”

Lee Hyori asked curiously, "What about you?"

Jin Qixuan stood up and walked to Lee Hyo-ri, clenched his fist and gently hit her shoulder, saying flatteringly:

"I have strong hands, I can give massages to the two presidents~"
