The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 104 A Tacit Laughter
The three of them walked into the private room and the waiter began to introduce the restaurant's features.

"Three guests, our restaurant specializes in high-quality Korean beef, a specialty of Jeolla Province..."

The waiter brought the menu and Choi Sulli flipped through it. She had also heard the recommendation from a friend and it was her first time here.

After flipping through the menu twice, she looked up and saw Kim Min-woong blinking his big eyes and looking at the menu with anticipation.

Choi Sulli handed the menu to Kim Min-young, "Min-young, take a look at what you want to eat and order whatever you want."

"Ah, should I order?" Jin Minyue was startled and waved his hands quickly, a little embarrassed, "No, no, no, senior, you order."

"No, that won't work. Today is a special occasion to thank you and Jimin. You two can order. Everything in this restaurant is delicious anyway." Choi Sulli stuffed the menu into Kim Min-young's hands, "Come on, let's see what's delicious."

"Then..." Jin Minyue secretly glanced at Liu Zhimin next to him, as if asking for consent.

"Then let Min-joo take the lead." Liu Zhimin smiled and patted Jin Min-joo's head. "Thank you, Sulli senior."

The three of them sat at the table, with Kim Min-woon sitting in the middle, pen in hand, looking at the menu intently, chattering as he read.

“Wow, this looks great!”

"Sherry, would you like to try this? It sounds delicious."

"Thank you so much, Shirley-senpai! Wow! I really want to eat this!"

Pleasant words rolled out of her thin lips one after another, and Choi Sulli, who was standing beside her, was in a very good mood because of her amusement.

She glanced at Kim Min-woon who was chattering non-stop, and then glanced at Liu Zhimin who was smiling on the other side. She seemed to understand why Liu Zhimin liked to play with Kim Min-woon.

【Minwoon, you're so cute. 】

She remembered what Liu Zhimin said that day.

Just then, Liu Zhimin seemed to notice her gaze and turned around.

The two looked at each other. Choi Sulli was about to speak, but Liu Zhimin opened his mouth and lip-synced to Choi Sulli.

It looks like...

"Min-hyung, you're so cute."

Choi Sulli burst out laughing, and Liu Zhimin narrowed her eyes and laughed too.

"Mo? What's wrong?" Jin Min-hye looked at the two unnies on both sides who were laughing so hard that they fell backwards. He didn't know what was going on. "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, just order your food." Liu Zhimin touched Jin Minyao's hair with a smile.

Jin Min-yeon hummed twice, then let her touch him without any resistance.

Choi Sulli gradually stopped laughing and felt relieved.

She went to the company with her new agent Kim Hye-soo in the afternoon to discuss her comeback, and then around five o'clock, she picked up Liu Zhimin and Kim Min-woon who were practicing at the company and went straight to the barbecue restaurant.

Although the three of them experienced a terrifying moment, when you look closely, you will find that they didn't say much, and there was inevitably some silence in the car.

It was not until this scene just now that she felt that the relationship between her and Liu Zhimin and Jin Minyou had become much closer.

Especially Liu Zhimin.

Unlike Kim Min-woon, who seems very approachable and simple-minded, Choi Sulli thinks Yoo Ji-min is a very smart little girl, who is mature beyond her age.

"Senior Shirley, hasn't Editor-in-Chief Pei come yet?" Liu Zhimin asked.

"Jimin, just now on the way, Editor-in-Chief Pei said he had something to do in the afternoon and was on his way here. It would probably take a while for him to arrive." Choi Sulli glanced at her phone.

"Let's just eat first."

"No, let's wait for Editor Pei." Liu Zhimin shook his head. "We had a little meal this afternoon, so we're not that hungry."

"Mo?" "What did you eat?"

Choi Sulli became interested and started sharing memories of her trainee days with the two people. "My favorite food back then was the fried rice cakes sold at the small supermarket in front of the company cafeteria."

"But you have to find a place to hide it and eat it secretly, otherwise you will be scolded if the teacher sees you."

"Oh, us too! Oh my God! Are you the same, senior?" Kim Min-woon also joined in.

The three of them started chatting. Choi Sulli and Kim Min-young were very engaged in the conversation, while Liu Zhimin didn't say much. She just smiled and interjected from time to time.

"...The vocal music teacher at that time was really strict. I was ranked first..."

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter's voice rang out from outside the door, "Hello, the guests are here."

The door was pushed open, and Pei Yongjun stood at the door, looking at the three people with a smile.

"Did you have a good chat?"

"Editor-in-chief, nim! We had a great time chatting." Choi Sulli waved happily at Bae Yongjun and smiled, "Come and sit down."

----

The charcoal fire burned, and Pei Yongjun looked at the oven in front of him, his cheeks slightly hot.

The short ribs, fat as snow, and thinly sliced ox tongue were placed in a circle on the oven like flowers, emitting a slight sizzling sound.

Choi Sulli beside him was holding a pair of tongs, turning the beef one by one, and the rich aroma of beef became even stronger.

The four of them rearranged their seats, sitting two by two, with Bae Young-jun facing Kim Min-young, next to him was Choi Sulli, facing Yoo Ji-min.

"Editor-in-chief, would you like something to drink?" Choi Sulli next to him turned her head and asked.

Perhaps the oven was a little hot, Choi Sulli's snow-white skin was flushed, and the tip of her delicate nose was slightly sweaty, making her look like a ripe peach.

"I'm fine with anything." Pei Yongjun's eyes moved slightly and he nodded. He couldn't help but imagine the warm touch of her skin at this moment.

"So, what are you two going to drink?" Choi Sulli turned to look at Liu Zhimin and the other person across from her, "Would you like..."

She grinned and gestured as if she was drinking beer, then suddenly remembered something and clapped her hands, "Oh, right, I'm not old enough yet."

When the three of them were talking just now, they had already asked each other's age. It would take a few months for Liu Zhimin to reach drinking age, and more than a year for Jin Minyao.

"Have some juice, then, okay?"

"Okay, Sulli." Kim Min-woon nodded.

"Ouni?" Bae Yongjun glanced at Kim Minwoon, and he didn't expect that several people had already started calling him in a familiar way.

"Yes, just call me unnie. Do I have to call me senior?" Choi Sulli was very free and easy.

Soon, the juice came and everyone poured a glass.

"Minwoon, Jimin, thank you two so much for that day." Bae Yongjun picked up the juice in the glass.

"Yes, at that time I remembered that Min-won was there, so I tried to run out to find her, otherwise I would still be trapped in the meeting room." Choi Sulli added.

"No, no." Jin Minyue shook his head and laughed.

"Sulli, how did you get out that day?" Liu Zhimin took a sip of juice and looked at Choi Sulli with strong curiosity in his eyes.

"That day," Choi Sulli looked at Bae Yongjun beside her, and recalled the scene of him holding her tightly in his arms. A sweet and happy feeling welled up in her heart, "Let me think about it..."

"I remember……"

She chuckled and began to tell her story.
