Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 395 Return.

The process was similar for the next few days.

Buying groceries, preparing ingredients, setting up the stall—the process is the same, the people are the same. Apart from everyone becoming more and more skilled and the customers changing every day, there's no difference in anything else.

Before we knew it, June 4th arrived.

Four days of filming have given the production team enough material, and tomorrow, the 5th, is the day everyone will return to South Korea.

In the evening, after closing up shop, Mingyan discussed with Lee Kwang-soo and Kim Ji-soo that they would treat Lee Yeon-bok and the production crew to a meal at a very famous restaurant in Qingdao.

Since it's a food program, it would be a real shame not to sample the local cuisine.

Since we were abroad, we didn't drink much alcohol at the dinner. Everyone just took a small sip. Ming said he only had two bottles of beer, just to moisten his throat.

If it weren't for him protecting Jisoo from drinking, he would have only drunk one bottle as a token gesture.

This guy has a very low alcohol tolerance; he gets dizzy after just one or two drinks, and he falls asleep immediately afterward, completely oblivious to everything else.

Don't ask Mingyan how he knew. The few of them were secretly drinking in his rented house when they were underage. He and Lim Nayeon were still complaining about how bad the alcohol tasted, while Kim Jisoo was already snoring.

That's how fast it is.

"Finally, I don't have to get up early tomorrow."

After the dinner, Kim Jisoo stretched out her body, her clothes pulled up to reveal her slender waist.

"You'll be back soon, so consider this a good opportunity to get used to the intensity." Mingyan stretched his shoulders a few times. No wonder people say that being a chef is a demanding job; he felt a bit tired after only four days.

Jisoo covered her face: "Ah~ Don't remind me of that~"

The girl was clearly unwilling to accept the fact that she would have to immediately begin preparing for her return once she got back.

"Let's go back and get a good night's sleep."

"Yes, this is a serious matter."

We all came together, but we might not be able to go back together.

Lee Yeon-bok, Lee Kwang-soo, and the production crew will catch an early morning flight back to South Korea. They either have other commitments or need to go back to edit the footage, so they are all in a hurry.

Mingyan and Kim Jisoo are much more at ease.

They can sleep in late and then take an afternoon or evening flight back to South Korea.

There are many flights from Qingdao to Seoul, so the two of them weren't worried about not being able to get back.

Jung Won-ryong and Kim Ji-soo's managers didn't object either; they figured they could stay an extra half-day as a vacation, and who wouldn't want to have some fun?

As for what the artists they manage are going to do, I can't control that.

Mingyan slept very soundly that night, probably thanks to those two bottles of beer. He fell asleep around 10 p.m. and woke up when...

It's already time for the doorbell to ring.

Wait, the doorbell?
Filming is over, who would ring their own doorbell? Kim Jisoo should be sleeping in.

"Brother Yuanlong, what do you want from me?" The man, wearing only boxer shorts and shirtless, stood up and opened the door.

"Hey, why aren't you dressed!" Kim Jisoo exclaimed from outside. "Also, it wasn't Won Yong oppa looking for you, it was me."

Mingyan lazily picked up a pillow and covered his private parts, not caring about his upper body anyway, since he'd seen everything: "Jisoo, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing knocking on the door again?"

He still remembers that yesterday, it was Kim Jisoo who kept complaining about being tired.

"You lazy pig, get up now."

"I can't afford it."

Mingyan rolled over and lay on the bed, reluctant to open his eyes.

"Ah Ning ayo, yiga na ne ga..." Kim Jisoo was no pushover either. Instead of using any physical means, she leaned close to someone's ear and sang a nursery rhyme.

How do you defend against psychological attacks?
There's no way to defend against it!
Mingyan suddenly sat up: "Hey, Kim Jisoo, what are you doing!"

"Let's go, why sleep so long?" Kim Jisoo said with a grin, picking up her friend's clothes and throwing them on the bed. "We haven't bought a gift yet, think of Minjung."

Mingyan ran his fingers through his hair, and it seemed to be true.

He's been busy filming lately, and when he does go out, it's just for a walk; he simply doesn't have time to buy gifts.

Kim Minjung: Really?
Men get up so fast! Kim Jisoo had only been sitting there scrolling through her phone for less than ten minutes when Mingyan was already dressed and standing at the door, waiting to leave. "Jisoo, hurry up and get moving!"

"Did you go to the toilet?"

"Sorry, please wait a few more minutes."

The girl shook her head speechlessly. She really wouldn't know this guy's habits if she didn't know him for a while.

After all that fuss, Mingyan and Kim Jisoo left home around nine o'clock.

"Jisoo, have you decided where you want to go?"

"No."

"Then come with me." Mingyan had already guessed this outcome.

He opened his phone and searched for a suitable place, then took Kim Jisoo there.

Qingdao actually has many unique souvenirs, which would be perfect to bring back to appease Kim Min-jung.

As soon as Kim Ji-soo entered the market, her eyes were drawn to the dazzling array of small commodities: "Hey, look, this seashell necklace is so pretty."

This is a coastal city, and many of its delicacies and specialties are related to the sea, but it has also developed its own unique urban characteristics.

"purchase."

"The sound of this wind chime is very beautiful."

"purchase."

"and this……"

"purchase."

Mingyan felt that Kim Jisoo wasn't there to buy gifts at all; it seemed like she was there to shop.

The two bought a lot of small odds and ends, some for their own use and some to give as gifts. These small handicrafts are not expensive, but they can be displayed at home as ornaments.

Kim Jisoo even bought a set of ceramic tableware, claiming she liked the patterns on it.

"Look at this big dog, it looks so silly, doesn't it look just like you?" the girl said to Mingyan, showing off her spoils.

"Jisoo, you're not insulting me, are you?"

"Tch, your taste is terrible."

The two ate and strolled around for more than two hours before finally returning to the hotel with their bags full of purchases.

Zheng Yuanlong seemed relieved to see them, as if he was worried that the artists he was managing might run away.

Kim Jisoo fell asleep on the plane again, with the neck pillow that Mingyan lent her still around her neck.

However, she was much more unrestrained this time, almost leaning half her body against Mingyan. After all, without the production crew around, she had fewer concerns and the girl immediately reverted to her true nature.

"She's a female idol now, and she still drools in her sleep." The man shook his head and complained, then gently reached out and pulled out a tissue to wipe the corner of Kim Jisoo's mouth.

This guy is really... always like this since he was a child.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Mingyan patted Kim Jisoo's cheek.

The girl squirmed a few times, looking a little unhappy: "Hmm?"

Her writhing movements were quite distinctive. It started with a series of inexplicable humming sounds coming from her mouth, followed by her neck, stomach, and finally her legs and feet. Her whole body seemed to come alive again as if she had been electrocuted.

"We've arrived. Let's get ready to disembark." Mingyan helped Kim Jisoo sit down again.

There was still a slight dampness on his shoulder, from the guy's saliva.

"Oh."

Kim Jisoo rubbed her eyes and gave Mingyan a silly smile.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's like I suddenly went back to my childhood, and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was you."
