Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 616 Still Sweet and Delicious (9k!)
Jin Dongtian's fingers, which were holding the phone, instantly froze, as if they had been frozen.

It wasn't the bland, indifferent response she had anticipated from Quan Xuanhe, nor was it any of the scenarios she had mentally prepared for.

It’s Liu Zhimin.

The languid, hoarse voice from Liu Zhimin on the other end of the phone, filled with satisfaction and intimacy, sent a chill down her spine like a bolt of cold electricity.

"Ji...Ji-min unnie?"

Her voice was terribly dry, filled with undisguised astonishment, her tone unconsciously rising as she lost all composure.

It's not Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

It was Liu Zhimin who answered the phone.

And at this time, with that... just-woke-up voice.

Liu Zhimin seemed even more smug after hearing this.

"Oh my... Minjung? What's wrong? Is Hyunhyuk oppa still asleep?"

That "Xuanhe oppa" was uttered with a thousand turns and twists, each syllable like honey dipped in water and wrapped with a needle.

"He might not be able to answer the phone for the time being."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Zhimin seemed to be asking with "concern".

"Minjung? What's wrong? Say something!"

The sound was extremely jarring to Jin Dongtian at that moment.

One second. Two seconds. The world seemed to be plunged into a noisy, empty white noise.

"what"

"That's fine then, I'll call him when oppa is free."

Jin Dongtian swallowed hard, finally uttering those words with a dry throat.

Beep...beep...beep...

The cold, busy tone rang out clearly in the quiet space.

Her mind was in complete turmoil.

Although I thought that their close trip together might eventually lead to them getting together, I really didn't expect it to end like this.
The simple and straightforward impact struck her.

Jin Dongtian felt a mix of emotions, a complex feeling, but not exactly sadness.
That really doesn't exist.

All that's left is a deep sense of frustration and helplessness.

Upon hearing Jin Dongtian hang up the phone, Liu Zhimin couldn't help but feel smug and happy.

Liu Zhimin casually tossed her phone onto the soft pillow, turned to her side, and snuggled back into Quan Xuanhe's arms like a proud kitten who had won a battle.

"whee……"

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, unable to suppress a string of smug and satisfied giggles, her shoulders twitching slightly.

"Minjung must have been terrified; she was even stuttering just now!"

She lifted her face, her bright eyes sparkling with a mischievous and undisguised gleam of pride: "Oppa won't be angry, will he?"

She stretched out her finger and playfully poked his firm chest.

Quan Xuanhe looked at her smug expression, as if she had finally gotten her revenge after holding back for a long time, and shook his head, not caring about her at all.

He tightened his arms around her, his hands gently stroking her smooth back a few times.

"You……"

Liu Zhimin didn't care about his helplessness; she was now completely in a victor's mind.

She brought her face even closer, her nose almost touching his, her voice soft and husky with the unique quality of early morning, deliberately dragging out the melody in a coquettish tone.

"Hmm? Is it good or not?"

"Is it good or not? That still needs to be tested."

"mo?"

Liu Zhimin was genuinely confused and didn't understand what Quan Xuanhe meant by those words.

"Get up?" Quan Xuanhe gently pinched his soft waist with his fingertips.

"Hmm~ Let's hug for a little while longer before we talk about getting up."

Liu Zhimin twisted her body, like a nimble little snake, and instead wrapped herself up even tighter, enjoying this moment that belonged only to her.

Come to think of it, it's truly hard-won that something that had been going on for several years finally came to fruition.

The sudden burst of relief after a long period of stagnation and endurance is unparalleled by anything else.

Liu Zhimin lingered for a few more minutes, but under Quan Xuanhe's repeated urging and tickling attacks on her waist, she reluctantly let go.

She threw back the covers, her movements delicate and languid, and slowly sat up.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on her fair shoulders and smooth neck.

She stretched slightly, her exquisite curves unfolding in the morning light, like a cat stretching its limbs after a satisfying meal.

Her stunning curves were briefly exposed, but Liu Zhimin, slightly embarrassed, covered them with the blanket. She immediately turned her face to look at him, wondering if he was staring at her.

But Quan Xuanhe didn't stare at the frame; he simply sat up from the bed and stood up to wash up.

Holding the blanket, Liu Zhimin watched his strong back walk towards the bathroom. Her eyes darted around, and she threw off the blanket and jumped off the bed after him.

She hurriedly put on her pajamas and then shuffled over in her slippers with small, shuffling steps.

The master bedroom's luxurious bathroom was spacious. Liu Zhimin pushed open the door, then squeezed to the sink and stood side by side with Quan Xuanhe.

"Didn't you say you wanted to rest a little longer?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk turned his head and saw Yoo Jimin, who was wearing loose pajamas and not dressed properly, standing prettily beside him, her hair not even tied up yet.

"Ani, wash up with oppa."

She picked up her toothbrush, tilted her head to look at Kwon So-hyuk in the mirror, and gave him a charming and cheerful smile.

Quan Xuanhe simply patted Liu Zhimin's bottom lightly, then turned back, picked up the hair tie, and tied it up in her hair.

Looking at Quan Xuanhe's focused and considerate expression, Liu Zhimin smiled happily.

While quickly brushing her teeth, Liu Zhimin didn't stop to rest, occasionally nudging Quan Xuanhe with her butt and then letting out a snicker.

A moment later, she took out her phone and asked Quan Xuanhe to take pictures of her in front of the mirror, recording every moment with her phone.

After washing up, the two began to change their clothes.

Liu Zhimin no longer acted evasively like she did the night before, but instead moved around the room openly and confidently.

This time, she truly saw herself as the lady of the house, and her mindset was completely different.

She chose a comfortable, fitted knit dress that showed off her beautiful shoulders and neck, and her fair arms.

However, wearing a skirt revealed all the marks left from last night, which looked rather out of place.

As soon as she stood outside, passersby noticed the bruises on Liu Zhimin's neck, and their gazes involuntarily shifted to Quan Xuanhe standing to the side.

When the time came, guess what? Kwon Heon-hyuk had even more hickeys on his neck.

However, even in such a simple dress and without makeup, Yoo Jimin is truly beautiful and charming.

Every time she bent down to look for something, or raised her hand to fix her hair, Quan Xuanhe's gaze would follow her for a moment, seemingly without her noticing.

To be fair, even seasoned veteran Kwon Hyun-hyuk has to admit that Yoo Jimin's figure is unparalleled in the Korean entertainment industry.

It's not just her big eyes.

A normal girl with big eyes will inevitably have slightly thicker upper arms and a fuller upper chest. These are all related factors. There's no such thing as building a skyscraper from scratch. We can't take artificial technology for granted.

However, because Liu Zhimin's eyes are positioned somewhat low, she still has slender arms and a thin upper body.

She has a small, delicate face, a slender and long neck, and incredibly long, shapely thighs.

A masterpiece that combines both aesthetics and practicality.

"Does it look good, oppa?" She finally chose her clothes, twirled in front of the full-length mirror, and the hem of her skirt swayed slightly.

The tone of the question, though knowing the answer already, revealed an undisguised expectation and boastfulness.

"It looks good." Quan Xuanhe walked behind her, naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist, rested his chin on the top of her soft hair, and looked at the two figures in the mirror.

Looking at herself in his arms in the mirror, Liu Zhimin's smile deepened, carrying a sense of security and happiness she had never felt before, a feeling of being completely possessed.

"Oppa, don't move."

She gave Quan Xuanhe such orders, while at the same time taking out her phone and starting to take pictures in front of the full-length mirror.

What a perfect couple.

Liu Zhimin couldn't help but think to herself with delight.

"Let's go, let's go eat breakfast, I'm starving!"

Liu Zhimin gently broke free from his embrace, but as she turned around, she immediately took his hand, their fingers intertwined, and then buried her hand deep in her chest, her steps light and cheerful.

"Put on your hat."

Before leaving, Kwon Hyun-hyuk casually picked up a white sun hat and put it on Yoo Jimin's head.

"Inside~"

Liu Zhimin adjusted her sun hat and responded cheerfully.

The hotel's breakfast restaurant is located by the sea, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the shimmering sea and the distant Gwanganri Bridge.

The two arrived just as breakfast was about to end and chose a seat by the window.

Looking at the sumptuous food in front of her, Liu Zhimin was extremely happy.

She picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of warm seafood porridge, but instead of eating it herself, she naturally offered it to Quan Xuanhe's lips, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Oppa, try this porridge, it smells so delicious!"

Quan Xuanhe was slightly taken aback, then obediently lowered his head and took the spoon into her mouth.

The salty and savory flavor melted in his mouth, and before him was Liu Zhimin's focused expression as she fed him.

"It's good."

Liu Zhimin smiled with satisfaction and withdrew her hand, but the feeding from her did not end.

Crispy, fragrant bits of seafood scallion pancakes, even a small piece of sweet and refreshing freshly cut honeydew melon...

She would occasionally pick it up and naturally bring it to Kwon Hyun-hyuk's lips, as if she were using this opportunity to assert her dominance as much as possible.

But Quan Xuanhe felt like her child, and she even watched him eat and fed him herself.

"Alright, you can eat yours. I have my own hands."

When Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw Liu Zhimin offer him chopsticks again, he slapped them away.

Do they really treat him like a child?
Seeing this, Liu Zhimin's face immediately fell, and she threatened him with her eyes. "Are you going to eat or not?"

Quan Xuanhe glanced at him and was truly helpless.

He rode two kinds of horses: one he met by chance, and the other he couldn't bear to part with.

Clearly, Liu Zhimin, who had been feeling resentful for many years, belonged to the latter category.

Breakfast was sticky and gooey.

There weren't many other early risers in the restaurant, but if someone were paying attention, they wouldn't be able to miss Liu Zhimin's unabashedly intimate manner and the look of dependence and affection in her eyes.

After a hearty breakfast, Liu Zhimin rubbed her lower abdomen with satisfaction and let out a long sigh of relief.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put down his coffee cup and turned his head to look at the golden Busan coastline outside the window.

"Are you full? Where do you want to go next? Gamcheon Culture Village? Or Taejongdae?" Kwon Hyun-hyuk asked for her opinion.

Liu Zhimin stretched and naturally snuggled closer to Quan Xuanhe.

Her slender arms wrapped tightly around his, and her head rested on his shoulder, clinging to him like a koala.

"Mmm..." she made a sticky, nasal sound, her big eyes half-closed, completely unlike her cool and bright stage presence, only a pampered laziness remained.

"Are there a lot of people outside? It feels so far away... and the sun is so bright."

Liu Zhimin's fingertips unconsciously traced lightly across his arm.

Quan Xuanhe looked down at her rare, almost coquettish, languid appearance and knew exactly what was going on.

I just want to be lazy and don't want to go out.

The frenzy of last night and this morning had exhausted her energy, and being with Quan Xuanhe just now made her want to immerse herself in this private little world and let time slow down.

"You're this tired after just one day of playing?" Quan Xuanhe raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying his usual teasing tone, but his eyes held a knowing smile.

"Oh! How can you blame me for this?"

Liu Zhimin immediately raised her head in dissatisfaction, pouted, and stared at him with wide, accusing eyes.

"Who made me so tired?! My back is still sore! And you even grabbed my chest..."

As she spoke, a blush crept onto her cheeks.

She swallowed the rest of her sentence, turning it into a coquettish eye roll before burying her face back in his shoulder.

"It's all your fault!"

Quan Xuanhe chuckled, reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer into his embrace.

"Looking at it this way, I was indeed wrong."

At this point, it's unlikely that any man would refuse to admit his mistake.

"Shall we go back and rest for a while longer?"

"It's still early, let's go out later."

She gave herself an excuse that didn't sound so lazy.

"Okay, whatever you say." Quan Xuanhe agreed, and stood up with his arm around her.

Liu Zhimin immediately felt like she had found a support, so she leaned most of her weight on him, letting him half-carry and half-support her as they slowly walked back to the elevator.

Back in the spacious and bright ocean view suite, the world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is still bright and bustling, but the air inside seems to have automatically switched to a slow-paced mode.

Liu Zhimin kicked off her shoes, stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, walked to the huge French windows, stretched, and her graceful curves unfolded in the morning light.

"Wow, the sunshine is so nice... I wish I could lie in bed and look at the sea." She murmured to herself, her eyes filled with longing for that soft, big bed.

Liu Zhimin hooked her arm around Quan Xuanhe's neck, turned around, tilted her small face up, and her big eyes sparkled with cunning.

She tiptoed slightly, her warm breath almost brushing against his chin, her eyes like tiny hooks.

“Oppa, how about we do something else?” She pointed suggestively at his chest with her fingertip.

Quan Xuanhe lowered his head, looking at Liu Zhimin's eyes, which were full of spring-like joy and a hint of provocation.

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Zhimin didn't say anything, but simply stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

This kiss wasn't as intense and demanding as the one last night; it was more like a flower petal with morning dew, carrying an intimate aftertaste.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk responded without hesitation, tightening his arms and deepening the kiss.

Liu Zhimin let out a soft moan, her body going limp like a puddle of water, clinging tightly to him.

Before they knew it, the two of them had fallen back onto the soft, spacious bed.

Quan Xuanhe embraced her, his arms around her shoulders and back, his chin resting on the top of her head, which had a faint fragrance.

Liu Zhimin was just teasing him, but he couldn't handle the pressure and couldn't come up with a second round in a short time.

Quan Xuanhe felt her breathing gradually calm down. Liu Zhimin in his arms had her eyes slightly closed, and her small face was pressed against his arm, slightly twisted and deformed.

After eating and drinking my fill, I felt languid all over, and sleepiness quickly washed over me again.

The warm sunlight shone down, and Liu Zhimin, still half asleep, adjusted her position, burying her face closer into his neck and loosely draping her arms across his waist.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk unconsciously tightened his arms around her, making her more comfortable.

……

The warm afternoon sun shone on the streets of Busan, and the air was filled with the salty smell of the sea breeze and the freshness of spring flowers and plants.

After a lazy yet sweet morning to recharge, Yoo Jimin finally emerged from the hotel with Kwon Heon-hyuk, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Liu Zhimin at this moment is completely different from yesterday.

Yesterday, she was sensitive and wary of Jin Dongtian, enjoying their time together while also being cautious.

Now, she is like a peach thoroughly sun-dried, radiating satisfaction and sweetness, with her eyebrows curving and her smile almost overflowing from her face.

She clung tightly to Quan Xuanhe's arm like a human pendant, practically pressing half her body against him as they walked.

"Oppa, shall we go to Taejongdae first?" Yoo Ji-min looked up at him, her big eyes full of anticipation.

"I heard the cliffs and the sea there are absolutely spectacular!"

"Yes, you can go wherever you want." Quan Xuanhe turned his head to look at her bright smile, and his mood unconsciously became more relaxed. Being looked at with such wholehearted reliance and joy did indeed feel good.

First stop: Taejongdae

As they rode the sightseeing bus up the mountain, the coastal scenery along the way left Liu Zhimin in awe.

Upon arriving at the cliff park located by the sea, standing beside the most famous lookout point, "Fairy Rock," one is even more awestruck by the magnificent view before one's eyes.

The vast blue sea stretches to the horizon, with white waves crashing against the rocks below the cliffs, creating a thunderous roar.

The huge viewing platform is suspended on the cliff, with a drop of tens of meters below. It is thrilling and exciting, but also offers an incredibly wide view.

Liu Zhimin couldn't help but open her arms and take a deep breath. The sea breeze instantly filled her dress, outlining her graceful figure.

"Yiboda, Busan, I love you!"

She really had to say "Busan, I love you!" It was this rare trip to Busan that finally made her wish come true, and she got together with Kwon Heon-hyuk.

She turned and waved happily at Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

"Oppa, come take a picture!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk took out his phone: "Stand still, strike a nice pose."

"Oh right!" Liu Zhimin immediately composed herself and flashed a bright and sweet smile at the camera.

She's a professional at posing.

After taking several photos, Liu Zhimin ran back to his side, took his arm, and rested her head intimately on his shoulder.

"There's also a group photo, oppa, hurry up and take a group photo."

She stood on tiptoe and tried to get her face closer to his cheek, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk turned his head slightly in response.

The phone screen freezes on the ocean as a background.

Liu Zhimin smiled sweetly and brightly, her eyes and brows full of affection, a tender scene with Quan Xuanhe's lips slightly curved.

"Cha-la-da." Liu Zhimin looked down and flipped through the photos with satisfaction.

Second stop: Haidong Longgong Temple

Drive along the seaside road to Haidong Longgong Temple.

This unique seaside temple, nestled against the mountain and overlooking the sea, features a uniquely designed layout, including 108 steps built directly into the rock and a stone statue of Guanyin facing the ocean. It is a popular place of worship.

"I looked it up before I came, and I heard that it's especially effective for praying for marriage here."

Liu Zhimin held Quan Xuanhe's hand and climbed the 108 steps one by one.

She said to Quan Xuanhe beside her as she climbed.

The meaning of this is self-evident.

But marriage?

Liu Zhimin is likely to face a tough battle with the woman beside him, and given his idol status, it's hard to say whether he'll be able to get married anytime soon.

Both of them are too famous, and famous celebrities can't get married when they're young.

"I'll ask for one for Zhimin."

Seeing Quan Xuanhe's vague statement, Liu Zhimin punched him.

"Hajm!"

Liu Zhimin's face scrunched up, and she threatened him fiercely. "What did oppa say?"

Quan Xuanhe smiled, grabbed Liu Zhimin's hand, and remained silent.

Upon entering the temple, I saw many couples and families praying for blessings, and the air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood.

Liu Zhimin, curious, pulled Quan Xuanhe around to visit various places. In the main hall, she imitated others by putting her hands together in prayer, closing her eyes, her long eyelashes casting small shadows under her eyes, and looking focused.

After making her wish, she opened her eyes and ran off to buy two red wooden wishing plaques.

"Shall we write one and hang it up? Praying... um... praying for everything to go smoothly!"

She lowered her head and carefully wrote on the wooden sign, but carefully covered what she wrote with her hand so that Quan Xuanhe could not see it, only revealing a sly smile.

The two found a relatively quiet corner, and Liu Zhimin stood on tiptoe, trying her best to hang the wooden sign with the red ribbon high on the tree branch.

"Hanging it so high, my wish will definitely come true!"

Liu Zhimin clapped her hands and nodded in satisfaction.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk noticed the colorful ice cream at the nearby stall.

"Eat or not?"

"Eat!" Liu Zhimin immediately agreed with delight.

She chose a rainbow-colored double sphere, and while eating the cool dessert, she pulled Kwon Seonhyuk to see the Medicine Buddha statue standing on the most prominent rock corner, overlooking the sea.

Standing beside the stone Buddha statue, the sea breeze rustled through Liu Zhimin's hair.

She gazed at the boundless sea and the blurry horizon in the distance, and whispered, "I wish time could just stand still at this moment."

Then realizing something, she immediately turned around and gave Quan Xuanhe a charming smile.

"But I hope every day from now on can be as happy as today!"

Third stop: BIFF Plaza & Street Food
It was nearly dusk when we left Longgong Temple.

The two returned to the bustling city center and headed to the vicinity of BIFF Plaza, the venue for the Busan International Film Festival.

The streets instantly became bustling and full of the warmth of everyday life.

Celebrity handprints are everywhere, and various food stalls line the streets, wafting enticing aromas.

Liu Zhimin's spirits lifted again, and like a curious little bird, she pulled Quan Xuanhe to look at this and try that.

"Oppa! This brown sugar cookie seems to be very famous; there's such a long line!"

"Ah, that's where the movie 'Friends' was filmed! Let's take a picture!"

"Fish cake, freshly cooked fish cake, Oppa, shall we go buy a skewer?"

She bought a fragrant plate of stir-fried rice cakes, which were so spicy they made her stick out her tongue, yet she couldn't resist eating them.

She bought some golden and crispy Busan fish cake skewers, took a bite herself, and then naturally offered them to Kwon Hyun-hyuk so he could try them.

Finally, like a little girl, she stood in front of the cotton candy stall, watching longingly as the fluffy, soft pink cotton candy was made, and then happily held it and ate it.

Mmm~ So sweet!

She licked a marshmallow, glanced at the various snack bags that Kwon Hyunhyuk was carrying for her, and suddenly remembered something. She quickly reached out, "Oppa, let me carry some for you! Don't tire yourself out!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk didn't give it to her, but instead handed her the chilled juice he had just bought, with a straw inserted.

"Drink of water."

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two people onto the street floor.

With a cotton candy in one hand and Quan Xuanhe's arm around her with the other, Liu Zhimin leaned her head slightly against his arm and walked a little slower.

After a day of excitement and novelty, fatigue gradually crept in, but the smile on her face remained sweet and satisfied. She was still chattering about which snack she had eaten was the best, or what a movie poster reminded her of.

Quan Xuanhe looked down at her slightly loose hair and her affectionate expression, like that of a small animal, and slowed his pace.

"Tired? Let's find a place to have dinner and then go back?"

Liu Zhimin rubbed against his arm and nodded, her voice soft and coquettish.

"Okay, but I also want to see the lights on the beach come on. Also, I have a lot of photos on my camera, and I want to save them all."

As the sun completely sank below the horizon, the lights of the Guanganli Bridge gradually came on, like a dazzling necklace spanning the night sky.

Dinner was at a seafood restaurant overlooking the Gwanganri Bridge.

Liu Zhimin has a very good appetite; she has always had a good appetite and a large appetite.

The bridge lights were fully illuminated, and after dinner, the two strolled back to the hotel along the beach.

Liu Zhimin leaned on Quan Xuanhe and slowly walked back. After the initial excitement wore off, the feeling of sore waist and weak legs became clear, and her steps became heavier and heavier, almost as if she were half-hanging on his arm.

"Can't walk anymore?" Quan Xuanhe noticed her slightly furrowed brow. "Yeah... a little tired," she said lazily.

Without saying a word, he squatted down in front of her and said, "Get on."

Liu Zhimin gave a small cheer, skillfully climbed onto his broad back, pressed her cheek against his warm neck, and sighed contentedly.

Quan Xuanhe steadily carried her on his back, crossing the dimly lit coastline.

Back in her hotel suite, Liu Zhimin felt so weak that she couldn't even wash up properly. She had enjoyed herself all afternoon and didn't feel tired while she was out, but as soon as she got back, she felt incredibly exhausted.

When women go shopping.

When a woman comes home.

Liu Zhimin lazily finished washing up, then slumped onto the bed and curled up to look through the photos she had taken that day.

The urge to show off their affection is bubbling up, but considering they're both celebrities, they can only admire each other's love in private or share some inconspicuous photos.

For example, food photos?
Do whatever comes to mind.

Liu Zhimin opened the bubble, first selecting a few photos of snacks and delicacies she had taken that day. After reviewing them several times and finding no mistakes, she posted them all on the bubble in one go.

The light from the phone screen pierced the darkness of the night, like a star that had unexpectedly stumbled in, and notifications suddenly sounded on countless phones.

Jimin unnie is blowing bubbles!

Several photos unfolded on the screen with a swipe.

All of them were mouthwatering snacks, and the key point was that they weren't posted by someone else, but by Liu Zhimin herself, which made them very happy.

The next second, dozens or even hundreds of messages popped up, and they were still growing at the speed of light.

[Wow! Late-night food porn! Unnie looks so happy eating!]

[PigBunny: I'm getting hungry!! Unnie, eat more!]

【_Is_Here: It all looks so delicious... I hope you have fun!】

Some fans tried to dig out more information from the background.

It's that picture of the seafood soup!
The rim of the glass bowl reflected a faint light, illuminating a small, blurry patch of the dining table in the distance.

It seems... I can vaguely see the back of the seat opposite me?
The angle is tricky, and the image is extremely blurry, almost negligible.

"Ha..." Some fans squinted their eyes, studying the situation like detectives.

Although it's hard to see clearly, this angle... really doesn't look like the angle from which someone takes a picture of the food in front of them while eating.

It's more like... placing it on the table, so that in order to capture the food in front of you, you might also accidentally include a little bit of the food opposite you in the shot?
Especially that bowl of seafood soup, brimming with it, looked like a generous portion, not just for one person. Several empty plates were scattered around it, clearly indicating it was meant for two!

Just then, Bubble updated with another message, a text from Liu Zhimin.

"What I ate today was Mashita! (heart heart heart)"

Seeing countless replies, Liu Zhimin suddenly became very engaged, replying to the most frequently asked questions.

She still loves working.

Seeing that fans keep asking me to post selfies.

Liu Zhimin searched through her phone again, but she didn't find any photos of her in Busan from the past two days.

Although she's not particularly smart, she's not stupid either. What if she posts a photo from Busan, and someone with incredible abilities manages to capture the background in a hotel?

That might lead to something else being exposed.

Liu Zhimin simply found the previous stock and casually sent one out.

In just a few seconds, she garnered a huge and enthusiastic response from fans. Liu Zhimin smiled and interacted with the phone for a while before putting it down and looking up to find Quan Xuanhe.

"oppa!"

"what happened?"

Quan Xuanhe's voice came from the living room.

"What are you doing?"

"Pack your bags, aren't we leaving tomorrow?"

The two of them spent a total of three days and two nights in Busan before heading back to Seoul. Both of them are very busy people, and although they had a full five-day holiday, they always had to spend one or two days on other things.

ah.
Liu Zhimin couldn't help but feel a little frustrated; the wonderful days were about to come to an end so soon.

A feeling of reluctance welled up quietly like a tide.

"Ah... I'm leaving tomorrow."

Liu Zhimin muttered softly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible loss and longing.

She lifted the silk quilt and, like a lazy, affectionate cat, walked barefoot lightly out of the master bedroom.

In the living room, Quan Xuanhe was squatting next to his suitcase, deftly putting the neatly folded clothes into it one by one.

Liu Zhimin slowly moved to his side, not as lively as she had been during the day, but instead slowly squatted down, hugged her bent knees with both arms, rested her chin on her knees, and quietly watched him tidy up with her head tilted to the side.

The only sounds in the room were the soft rustling of clothes and her light breathing.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put the last T-shirt away before turning to look at Yoo Jimin beside him.

Her pretty little face was filled with the words "I don't want to leave," and her eyes were soft, with a misty glint of tears, blurred by weariness and the sorrow of parting.

"Tired?" he asked softly, his voice much gentler than before.

Liu Zhimin nodded, then shook her head, burying her face in her knees, leaving only her large eyes showing, her voice muffled.

"Just a little bit... I just feel... time flies by so fast."

Just when things were at their sweetest, it had to end.

Indeed, the happiest moment is when you are infinitely close to happiness.

Quan Xuanhe reached out and gently placed his palm on the back of her cool, smooth hand.

"There are still plenty of opportunities, aren't there? We're all in the entertainment industry anyway, so we'll always find a time to be together."

He paused, seemingly also feeling that the meager promise wasn't powerful enough.

"Let's go out and have fun again sometime." He added, his gaze falling on her slightly lowered eyelashes.

"Let's go somewhere else, but it'll still just the two of us."

"Yes~" Liu Zhimin obediently stood up, the fatigue of the day seemed to be awakened by this action of being pulled up, spreading from her limbs to her whole body.

Like a weary bird that has found its roost, she naturally raised her hand to wrap around his waist, pressed her face against his chest, and absorbed the reassuring scent and warmth emanating from him.

call.
She nestled limply in his arms, letting him lead her back to the master bedroom.

Quan Xuanhe wrapped one arm around her body, which was almost hanging on him, and turned off the living room light with the other. In the darkness, only the faint light of the bridge in the distance and the light pollution of the city could be seen through the window.

Back on the large bed in the master bedroom, Liu Zhimin obediently lay down, and Quan Xuanhe tucked her in before lying down beside her.

As soon as I adjusted my position, a soft and fragrant body rolled into my arms.

Almost instinctively, Yoo Ji-min sought the most comfortable and intimate position in the darkness.

She was like a vine entwining a tree, or a soft snake coiling around his body, her cheek pressed against the skin of his neck, where she could clearly feel his steady pulse.

An arm naturally wrapped around his waist, encircling him, and her legs instinctively wrapped around him, as if she wanted to embed herself deep into his embrace.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was tightly embraced by her, his heart calming down as he was surrounded by her warm and soft body.

Liu Zhimin was overwhelmed, her lower body burning with pain. If it happened again, wouldn't it be like going through an enchanted wound?

"oppa?"

Liu Zhimin's voice suddenly rang out from his arms, sounding a little muffled. Then she adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position, turning her back to him so that he could hold her.

"what happened?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk adjusted his posture accordingly, with one arm resting on her head and the other hand placed where it should be.

"Can I sleep in until I naturally wake up tomorrow?"

Liu Zhimin seemed to have made a small request.

"of course can."

He was certainly satisfied.

"Then oppa will wake up before me."

Liu Zhimin then made another request, which sounded somewhat puzzling.

"why?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk expressed his doubts.

"I want to see you the moment I open my eyes."

Liu Zhimin's voice rang out in the night.

"Oppa, you have to keep watching me too."
