Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 387 Chinese Master Kim Ji-soo.

"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."

Ming Yan's statement was not surprising at all.

They're currently in China, so it would be strange if Kim Ji-soo stayed put.

"Hey, where do we go now?" As soon as the two left the hotel, Kim Ji-soo asked Ming-yeon.

The man looked helpless: "How should I know?"

"Aren't you Chinese?"

"Well, this is my first time in Qingdao too."

Mingyan was amazed by this guy's thought process, but it doesn't matter if there's no destination; what matters is who you go shopping with.

If you're with the right people, then taking a few wrong turns isn't such a big deal.

“The feeling in China and South Korea is indeed different.” Kim Jisoo stayed close to Mingyan, her delicate face hidden behind a mask. “But there are about the same number of people in both countries.”

BLACKPINK is now a well-known girl group, and they have to be careful not to be recognized even in China. Even though K-pop is gradually declining in China due to the ban on Korean entertainment, they still have to be careful because of the huge population base.

It might be better in Europe and America, since K-pop isn't very popular there.

Those who are not truly fortunate do not have such troubles.

"Next time I have the chance, I'll take you to my hometown, where there are more people who can speak Korean."

"When is the next time?"

"Then how do I know?"

The two of them simply walked and chatted along the street, without any destination or purpose.

Kim Ji-soo was filled with curiosity about this country she was visiting for the first time. Her round, rabbit-like eyes looked around curiously, and she would tug at Ming-yeon's sleeve from time to time, asking him all sorts of questions.

What is this?

What is that?

I want to take a picture.

"I'm a little thirsty." It was early June, and summer had already arrived. Even in the evening, the temperature wasn't low. Kim Jisoo had been chattering away the whole way and finally felt parched.

After Mingyan stopped and looked around, he said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."

There was a Heytea store not far from them.

Is this a bubble tea shop?

“You can think of it this way.” Mingyan pushed the girl forward like a parent with a child: “Jisoo, go order.”

"I...I can't." Kim Jisoo hesitated, after all, she was in a foreign country and place.

"I've taught you so much Chinese, now it's time to put it to good use."

He openly encouraged his friend.

While it was meant as encouragement, Kim Ji-soo saw it as rather sinister; this bastard was definitely waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Finally, Kim Jisoo couldn't resist someone's insistence. She stomped her foot and strode over as if she had made up her mind.

"Hello."

The girl's pronunciation of the word was so clear and accurate that you couldn't even hear her accent unless you listened carefully.

"Hello, what would you like to drink?" The young female shop assistant asked with a polite smile.

“I…” Kim Jisoo’s eyes scanned back and forth across the menu on the screen. She couldn’t understand the Chinese text, but the pictures were fine: “I want this and this.”

"Okay, that'll be twenty-six yuan in total."

"Me, cash."

Mingyan had already trained Kim Jisoo before they came, but to scan the QR code, they needed to get a Chinese phone card and register for Alipay, which they hadn't had time to do yet, so they would use cash for the time being.

The man stood quietly behind the girl, watching everything with a smile.

Jisoo looks really cute when she speaks Chinese.

"for you."

Kim Jisoo carried two cups of drinks she had bought, looking as smug as a victorious general returning home.

"Our Jisoo is amazing." Mingyan gave a thumbs up, emphasizing encouragement and teaching that children should be praised for doing well.

"I feel like you're laughing at me." Kim Jisoo pushed the straw into the cup with a little force. "It was like this when we were little; you always tricked me." "Was there ever a time when I tricked you?"

"No."

They do have their share of arguments, but Mingyan has never left Kim Jisoo alone.

A sense of security is built up little by little.

Mingyan took a sip of his drink and casually asked, "Jisoo, what do you think of the taste?"

"Mmm~ It's so delicious! It tastes different from what I've had in Korea." Kim Jisoo even brought the cup of her drink up to her eyes and examined it closely, as if trying to remember the logo on it.

“There are many milk tea brands in China, big and small,” Ming said with a smile. “Some of them even open branches in South Korea.”

"Then I'll have to be more careful when I get back."

"Don't you need to manage your figure?"

"Oh, let's not talk about that now."

The two unknowingly arrived near a park, where a large banner that had not yet been taken down was still at the entrance.

"What does it say?" Kim Jisoo, with her strong thirst for knowledge, kept patting someone's arm and asking questions.

Mingyan glanced at it twice: "Today is Children's Day. There should have been an event here during the day."

Theoretically, June 1st is International Children's Day, which is celebrated not only in China but also in other countries. However, South Korea has its own national circumstances; their Children's Day is May 5th, not June 1st.

"I see." Kim Jisoo pulled Mingyan inside. "Let's go in and take a look."

The park was still bustling in the evening.

Elderly people are taking a walk, children are playing, a gentle breeze is blowing, and the time is just right.

Mingyan and Kim Jisoo felt completely at ease, as if they were outsiders.

"Waaaaah~" A child seemed to be summoned by something and stumbled towards the two of them, then bumped headfirst into Kim Jisoo's leg.

The little guy wasn't shy at all; instead, he just stared at the two of them and grinned, looking both adorable and cute.

Kim Jisoo squatted down and patiently communicated with him: "Whose child are you? Where is your mother?"

"mom!"

"I'm not your mother."

Although Kim Jisoo speaks Korean, she can understand the pronunciation of "mama," and there is a common way to address one's mother all over the world.

"Jisoo, you should speak Chinese, otherwise he won't understand," Mingyan reminded him from the side.

"Then why didn't you translate it for me?"

“He called for his mother, not me.”

Actually, the man had already seen the little one's parents hurrying over, but he just didn't say anything.

"This child... let go of his sister quickly." The little one's mother came over and smiled apologetically at Mingyan and Kim Jisoo: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

Mingyan smiled and said, "It's alright, the child is very cute."

Kim Jisoo also stood up, looking on with a cute expression as the two of them talked in Chinese.

She could only understand a small part of it, but the main topic of conversation was definitely the children.

"Your wife seems to really like children. Haven't you considered having one?" The little one's mother made a surprising remark, completely mistaking Mingyan and Kim Jisoo for a young couple who were out for a walk after dinner.

"Um... well, we're not a couple."

Mingyan quickly interrupted, saying that the conversation was getting more and more absurd.

"I'm sorry, but your future children will definitely be very beautiful." Although Mingyan and Kim Jisoo did not show their faces, their figures, temperament, and outfits were enough to say a lot.

Mingyan didn't know what to say either: "Hehe, thank you."

"Hey, what were you two talking about just now?"

After the little one's mother left, Kim Ji-soo finally asked a question.

"It's nothing." There really wasn't much to say about the conversation just now.

“I know, she said… wife.”
