Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 43 A Scream

"cough cough"

After coughing twice, before Li Zhien could say anything, Qi Yaojiu rushed back to the kitchen. Qi Yaojiu's voice echoed in the room: "No need to change shoes, just come in."

There is a magical feeling about Lee Ji-eun at the entrance that is hard to describe in words.

This was her first time as a guest today, and as the host of the house, Qi Yaojiu gave her the feeling that it was not the first time that Li Zhien was invited to her home.

There was no necessary procedure of welcoming, entertaining, introducing the house, etc., and IU was simply allowed to go into the house by herself as if she had been there many times and was left to handle everything on her own.

"Really? Hahahaha"

"Children, do you smell the fragrance?"

The sound of chatting outside the door became clearer and clearer. Li Zhien did not go into the house immediately but looked out through the peephole.

She saw several girls walking together past the door. They were about the same age as her. Two of them stopped and looked towards the door as they passed by.

"Drip drip drip"

I could even hear the sound of entering a password, and then the girls must have gone into the house next door.

Turning around, Li Zhien muttered, "Do you know him?"

The two girls looking towards the door should know Qi Yaojiu. One of them looked familiar, but Li Zhien couldn't tell exactly what made her look familiar.

Thinking back to how Qi Yaojiu had just pulled her into the house, combined with the actions of the two girls.

Before she knew it, Lee Ji-eun frowned.

It's not just an acquaintance, is it?

"cough cough"

Holding toilet paper and a cactus, Lee Ji-eun walked through the entrance and into the living room wearing only socks.

The house is very spacious, with the living room connected to the inner balcony and four windows.

TV, sofa, coffee table and air conditioning are all available.

On the left is the kitchen, and on the right is a corridor connecting to what should be the rest area.

Putting down the tissue and the cactus, Li Zhien said loudly: "Can I take a look?"

The only sound coming from the kitchen was the cooking, so Lee Ji-eun had to give up her idea of visiting and headed towards the kitchen.

Right hand waving the air.

Qi Yaojiu looks tall and straight from behind.

Standing in front of the kitchen, leaning against the wall, Li Zhien asked: "What are you eating tonight?"

This time, Qi Yaojiu heard it, turned around and looked at Li Zhien and said, "They are all good dishes."

"A side dish?"

Qi Yaojiu changed the term: "Rice thief"

Li Zhien understood and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Qi Yaojiu waved his hand and said, "It's very choking here. Go sit in the living room and rest for a while. Dinner will be served in a few minutes."

Li Zhien said "Oh" and said again: "Then can I take a look?"

Qi Yaojiu immediately nodded and said, "Just take a look."

She agreed readily and IU didn't hesitate.

From the bathroom to the empty second bedroom and then to the master bedroom.

It's completely different from what I imagined, so clean.

There were very few things, not furniture or appliances but personal belongings. After the visit, I felt like Qi Yaojiu was staying in a hotel.

But one thing is certain, Qi Yaojiu is the only one living in this house.

"time to eat"

Qi Yaojiu prepared the last dish of fried egg soup, put it into a soup bowl and walked towards the living room.

He quickly put it on the coffee table, then went back to the kitchen and brought out rice, empty bowls and chopsticks.

Thinking that he was done, Qi Yaojiu went to the kitchen and took out beer and empty cups.

He sat directly on the empty sofa next to Li Zhien, handed the chopsticks to Li Zhien, pointed at the dish and said: "It may be a little spicy. If it is spicy, drink more soup."

Li Zhien was holding her chopsticks in a daze. Did Qi Yaojiu just sit next to her so naturally?

The two were very close, so close that they could smell the lingering smell of oil smoke on Qi Yaojiu's body even when they were standing shoulder to shoulder.

"Magnetic click ~ Gurgle"

After pouring a glass of beer, Qi Yaojiu subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Zhien. Seeing that Li Zhien was in a daze, Qi Yaojiu said in an adult tone: "No, you are underage and cannot drink."

Coming back to her senses, Lee Ji-eun echoed, "I'm just curious about what the wine tastes like."

"Not even curiosity."

Lee Ji-eun opened her mouth and seemed to be hesitant to speak. She picked up a piece of hairtail with chopsticks and put it in the bowl. She peeled off a little fish meat and put it in her mouth and chewed it for a few times.

Throughout the whole process, Qi Yaojiu looked at Li Zhien.

Watching her nod slightly, she was about to say it was delicious, then suddenly frowned, then stuck out her tongue and fanned it with her right hand, muttering, "It's spicy, really spicy."

Qi Yaojiu served Li Zhien a small bowl of soup.

Lee Ji-eun scooped up the soup with a spoon and was about to put it into her mouth.

"hot"

It was too late to remind her, IU had already put the soup into her mouth.

"what!"

Screaming, Lee Ji-eun jumped up from the sofa and danced and stomped her feet.

“You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry”

IU even had time to wonder what Ki Yo-gu meant by this.

Qi Yaojiu took a sip of beer and said, "When you come of age, I'll cook the dishes I made tonight for you again. Then you'll be able to drink cold beer and experience the charm of these dishes."

After recovering, Lee Ji-eun sat back on the sofa and asked Ki Yo-jiu, "So, did Oppa make these dishes tonight just to make himself happy?"

“When it comes to eating, the most important thing is of course to have fun.”

"And me?"

"You can enjoy your meal too. Eat slowly, take small bites, and let the food go well with the rice."

Li Zhien replied: "Shouldn't it be the first-time guests who should enjoy the dinner? I can't even experience the charm of these dishes."

Qi Yaojiu poured beer and said, "No, you can't drink."

"Is this the same with other guests, Oppa? Or can other guests drink?"

After taking a bite of the clams, Qi Yaojiu was quite satisfied with the taste and said leisurely, "I don't have the time to entertain guests at home."

"Oppa has never entertained anyone else?"

Qi Yaojiu replied seriously: "Tonight is the first time, and probably the last time."

"at last?"

After taking a sip of beer, Qi Yaojiu said slowly, "I don't have that much time to do these tedious things. I usually just eat near the broadcasting station and then take a nap."

Li Zhien muttered: "No wonder, no wonder the house is as clean as a hotel."

"hotel?"

"pat"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the living room suddenly went out.

The place where I live is not a densely populated residential area, and there is only a dim light outside the window illuminating the endless darkness.

The scream of "Ah" seemed to come from next door.

In the silence, Li Zhien asked weakly: "Oppa, is there a power outage?"

Qi Yaojiu had never encountered this before and replied: "Maybe."

"Something seems to have happened next door."

"You must have been scared by the sudden power outage. I'm a person with a big imagination, so it's normal to be scared."

Li Zhien asked: "Oppa and the neighbor know each other?"

Qi Yaojiu replied calmly: "Not really acquaintance, but we'll get to know each other in the future, and you'll also..."
