Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 554 Days of Leisure (Buried Deep in Snow)
Kwon Hyun-hyuk lowered the volume of the music slightly, so that his voice could just drown out the music.

He turned to look at Sana Minatozaki, who was looking down at her phone with a lighthearted expression, humming along to the music.

An obviously beautiful mood.

"But I'm quite curious, why didn't you tell Miyeon?"

"Could it be that you've betrayed us?"

Quan Xuanhe glanced at the road conditions ahead, let go of one hand, drove with one hand, and turned his head slightly to look at the leisurely and carefree Minatozaki Sana beside him.

"Say it to Meiyan?"

"Is it appropriate to tell Miyeon? In fact, telling Tzuyu was out of necessity. If anyone else knew, the situation would become very critical."

Sana Minatozaki put down her phone slightly, looked up at him, and replied in a natural tone.

"Then you understand very well."

Quan Xuanhe chuckled and shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

At this moment, Sana Minatozaki raised her head and looked out the car window, her eyes curiously peering out.

As we drove out of the city, we arrived in the suburbs, where there were only patches of farmland and undulating slopes, interspersed with a few small farmhouses.

The heavy snow covered everything in white, with large snowflakes fluttering in the air, creating a strong winter atmosphere.

Only the highways were black, a stark contrast to the snow-covered landscape.

The snow had been falling for a while, but the car was warm and cozy, not cold at all. In fact, the warmth made Sana Minatozaki's face flush slightly.

"Isn't there a service area up ahead? Let's go there for a meal. I remember the food at the service areas along this road is really famous!"

Sana Minatozaki glanced into the distance, then looked at the road signs above her, and made a suggestion.

"can."

It was almost noon, and even if you arrive at the ski resort, the first thing to do is eat. So Kwon Hyun-hyuk nodded, turned the steering wheel, and drove onto the ramp toward the service area.

The snow was falling heavily. After Quan Xuanhe parked the car, he glanced at the heavy snow and then turned to look at Minatozaki Sana.

"Is there a coat in the box?"

"Ok!"

Sana Minatozaki understood what he meant, nodded enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling, and she gave him a big, sweet smile.

Upon hearing this, Quan Xuanhe put on the hood of his windbreaker, opened the car door, and got out of the car.

The sudden drop in temperature made Kwon Hyun-hyuk tighten his coat, and then he opened the trunk amidst the heavy snow and began to rummage through Minatozaki Sana's suitcase.

I only came for one day, but this place is already packed with activities.

Quan Xuanhe opened it and glanced at it, then found her windbreaker and casually took it out.

His gaze couldn't help but notice everything in her suitcase. His eyes flickered slightly, then he looked up at Minatozaki Sana, holding up the coat he was holding. "Is this it?"

"Vest!"

Upon hearing this, Quan Xuanhe quickly closed the box, then the trunk, and got into the passenger seat.

Sana Minatozaki opened the car door at the right moment, and was immediately hit in the face by the swirling snowflakes. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and said, "It's so cold."

Quan Xuanhe stood outside the car door blocking the wind and snow, while Minatozaki Sana quickly and shiveringly put on her windbreaker in the small corner where the car door was open.

It suddenly got much warmer.

"Prioritize style over warmth."

Seeing her trembling, Quan Xuanhe couldn't help but say something.

"Oh well, it'll only be cold for a little while anyway."

Sana Minato pulled the zipper all the way up, revealing only her bright eyes and eyebrows, with two strands of hair peeking out from her neckline.

The snowflakes gently turned a few strands of her hair white.

"Hurry up and go."

Sana Minato lowered her head slightly to avoid the oncoming snow wind, reached out and pushed Kwon Hyun-hyuk, then hid beside him, snuggling close behind him.

Quite a few people choose to stop at this service area, and you can see the flow of people coming and going at the entrance of the service area restaurant.

Sana Minatozaki hid behind him like a little bird, clutching his clothes, and walked into the restaurant in the service area with her head down behind him.

"call!"

"The snow is really heavy."

As soon as she entered, Sana Minatozaki let go of her hands, let out a long sigh, and reached out to brush the snowflakes off her body.

She looked up at the snowflakes on Quan Xuanhe's body and thoughtfully reached out to pat them off.

The restaurant was bustling with activity, and naturally, there were quite a few people inside. So when Sana Minato took off her hat, she made sure to secretly put on a mask before she dared to raise her head and look around.

"that!"

She looked down at her phone, then looked up and said with great interest, "Deokpyeong Beef Soup Rice, the rest stop's signature dish, is made with Icheon rice from Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, and Korean beef. It's delicious, and we sell hundreds of thousands of bowls a year!"

On such a cold day, a bowl of hot soup is a must, so the two of them ran to the back of the line and started queuing.

There were quite a few people in line. On such a cold day, everyone was craving a hot soup, so they all came to this restaurant to eat.

Sana Minatozaki stood in front of him, slightly turned to the side, and looked up to talk to him.

"My fellow members and I had never eaten at this service area before. Well, no, we've only been to service areas a few times; we're always on the road."

"I always see other people sharing these things, talking about the food at the service areas!"

"Actually, there are still several restaurants I want to visit but haven't been to yet. I recently found them on Instagram, and the food looks especially delicious!"

"But isn't the virus a bit serious lately? Let's go later!"

"Hey, by the way, have you finished getting your vaccines? My arm always hurts so much after I get them~"

When Sana Minatozaki got excited, she started chattering away, her eyes sparkling with interest. She would glance around from time to time, then look up at him with a bright smile.

"The food at the service area... it may be delicious, but it's just a service area, so the two words don't seem to match."

"Go if you want to. You can have dinner with anyone."

"My arm does hurt a bit, it hurts more than a regular injection."

Every word he uttered was met with a response; Kwon Hyun-hyuk ensured that Sana Minatozaki's words never fell to the ground.

They looked just like a couple.

After queuing up, the two ordered two bowls of soup and rice. Then, Minatozaki Sana saw an oden stall next door and stood there, ordering several skewers. Then she saw sausage and rice cake skewers and bought two more.

She has a string of Kwon Hyun-hyuks, and a string of others too, hmm!
The two found a corner to sit down. Sana Minatozaki looked around and was a little nervous when she saw that there were people around, but when she saw that the people sitting not far away were not young people, but elderly men and women, she felt relieved.

The older folks don't follow K-pop much, so they probably don't know them.

"There's so much, can we finish it all?"

"Isn't it because you're here? You can eat whatever you can't finish."

Sana Minatozaki smiled broadly, her words seemingly unconcerned. Looking at the steaming soup and rice in front of her, and smelling the enticing aroma, her appetite was instantly whetted.

Quan Xuanhe was about to pick up his chopsticks when she suddenly stopped him, "Don't eat yet!"

Sana Minatozaki picked up her phone, aimed it, and started looking for the right angle to take a picture.

At this time, she was still using an XS. She disliked the photos taken with the newer models because she felt that the phone updates didn't bring any significant changes, so she simply continued using it.

A significant number of girls using older iPhone models are like this.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk waited patiently.

This is an essential procedure for all girls, without exception.

She picked up the spoon, opened her small mouth and took a sip. Her eyes lit up and she nodded seriously.

"good to eat."

Quan Xuanhe had always been reserved about receiving compliments from girls, but this time he picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of beef, and, feeling the aroma spread in his mouth, nodded slightly. "It's pretty good, not bad."

Sana Minatozaki stroked her hair, her head slightly lowered as she ate one bite after another.

“You shouldn’t say Masida, you should say…”

"say what."

Sana Minatozaki blinked, looking at him with a puzzled expression as she ate, her eating movements like a squirrel, chewing with gusto.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk remembered watching The Solitary Gourmet before, and the classic scene popped into his head: he tried to imitate the man who ate the most delicious food in the world.

"Ah, five ants!"

Seeing how vividly he imitated her, Minatozaki Sana couldn't help but laugh, and then she couldn't stop giggling.

She laughs very easily when she's happy.

Have you watched The Solitary Gourmet?

Sana Minatozaki laughed for a while, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

"I've seen it, but this is the only one that left a deep impression on me."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk spoke the truth.

"Wow...that's interesting."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's lifelike appearance made Minatozaki Sana burst into laughter.

She ate only a few bites before stopping, then ate a skewer of oden, and pushed all the food in front of Quan Xuanhe, looking at him with bright eyes. When she met his somewhat speechless gaze, she smiled playfully, completely unconcerned.

"you eat!"

"...Wow, this is such a blessing! So many people outside want to eat Sana's leftovers but can't finish them all, and I can eat so much! I'm way ahead of my fans!"

Quan Xuanhe was quite adept at using sarcastic and unsettling language. He finished speaking without changing his expression, but his hands showed no disdain as he took the food and ate with gusto.

"Oh dear! What are you saying? Really!"

Sana Minato rolled her eyes at him, then wiped her mouth with a tissue. After that, she stood up and pulled up her mask.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Tea, or coffee, but not iced!"

Quan Xuanhe looked up at her.

Sana Minatozaki nodded, then turned and walked briskly towards the convenience store, seemingly still in a good mood.

She walked briskly to the convenience store and bought two bottles of tea drinks. Then she turned back and didn't see Quan Xuanhe focused on eating what she had left over. Instead, she saw an older woman sitting near them standing next to him.

Sana Minatozaki was perceptive and stood to the side without moving closer.

And so she watched helplessly as Kwon Seonhyuk stood up and took a photo with the middle-aged woman whose face was almost scrunched up from smiling, and she could still vaguely hear the woman praising him.

"Oh my god, he's so handsome. I wish he were my son."

"It's a pity our daughter wasn't with us, otherwise she would have been so happy. It's such a shame!"

After hearing those few words, the older woman finally left. At this moment, Sana Minatozaki also approached, looking him up and down with her eyes and brows, and then began to imitate him in a sarcastic tone, doing so quite well.

"Aigu, our Xuanhe is so handsome~"

Quan Xuanhe turned around and heard Minatozaki Sana's high-pitched, sarcastic voice. He glared at her, annoyed.

"To be honest, I'm keeping a low profile."

"You've made yourself quite proud."

Sana Minatozaki muttered something and then shoved the drink into his hand.

"Turn it on for me."

She tried to twist it, but found she couldn't open it, so she tossed it to Quan Xuanhe.

Quan Xuanhe casually unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.

Sana Minatozaki's eyes showed satisfaction.

After finishing their meal, the two slowly started walking back.

The two were dressed very warmly, and Minatozaki Sana put on her sunglasses, looking like she didn't care about anyone, and walked out the door in a cool manner.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she was immediately blown to pieces by the blizzard outside. She hurriedly hid behind Quan Xuanhe, grabbing his clothes and shrinking into herself.

"Go, go, go!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk squinted as the snow blew in, and quickened his pace as he heard Sana Minato's voice mixed with the sound of the wind.

The two quickened their pace in the wind and snow, and hurried back to the car to sit down.

Sana Minatozaki let out a long sigh of relief, brushed the snowflakes off her body, pulled down the mirror to check her makeup, and then looked out the car window at the heavy snow falling.

"It's raining so hard, and the wind is so strong too!"

The snowflakes were indeed as big as goose feathers, and the strong wind swirled them around the world, making it seem as if it had become a world of ice and snow.

"It comes in waves, and maybe it will get better after this wave passes."

Looking at the heavy snow outside, Quan Xuanhe started the car, warmed it up for a while, and then slowly pressed the accelerator to start the car, heading towards his destination which was not far away.

The car was moving at a moderate speed, keeping to the minimum speed limit. Due to the slippery roads caused by the snow, Kwon Hyun-hyuk was using the windshield wipers at their fastest speed.

Sana Minatozaki was taking pictures out the car window, watching the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and she thought they turned out to be very photogenic.

"On such a nice day, it would be so comfortable to stay in bed."

"The image of lying on the sofa facing the fireplace, wrapped in a thick quilt, holding a warm glass of red wine in my hands, wow... that scene sounds so wonderful."

"I've experienced it."

Quan Xuanhe glanced at her, listened to the scene she described, nodded and said something.

"Eh?"

Sana Minatozaki looked at him with wide eyes in surprise!
“I studied in the United States, and I’ve had gatherings at my classmates’ homes in the suburbs when it snowed.”

"That's great~"

Sana Minatozaki turned to look at him, and said with a hint of envy in her eyes, her gaze filled with longing for that scene.

Girls naturally love such romantic scenes, and for someone like Quan Xuanhe who has experienced it firsthand, it's certainly enviable.

At that moment, she suddenly looked directly at Quan Xuanhe.

Highly educated, highly educated individuals, highly intelligent.

He's handsome, admired worldwide, tall and dashing.

人…

He's a terrible person, and his love life is a complete mess.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own biases. Minatozaki Sana, with her junior high school education, naturally viewed Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who graduated from a top global university, through a biased lens, thinking that he was knowledgeable and should be very cultured.

That's what I thought when I first met Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

After all, there aren't many highly educated people in the entertainment industry, especially for idols like them. It's normal for them to graduate from high school, and graduating from a regular university is almost the ceiling.

People always yearn for what they don't have.

Quan Xuanhe has everything he wants.

"If you'd like, you can go to the United States sometime, and I'll show you around."

Quan Xuanhe then spoke.

"it is good."

And she was getting closer and closer to this seemingly perfect person, and she even received his promise.
