Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 107 Lin Yuner's Diary
Nearly twenty minutes later, the car stopped on the roadside near the Chinese restaurant in Dalindong.

Chen Yan and Lin Yuna, who put on her mask again, got out of the car and walked into the Chinese restaurant.

Lin Yuna and the store clerk reported their reservation information, and the clerk took them to a private room.

"Chen Yanxi, Chen Yan, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, Yoona, just watch over it."

Chen Yan smiled slightly unnaturally. It did feel a bit awkward to suddenly call him by his name.

"okay."

Lin Yuner nodded, picked up the menu and was about to order, but was suddenly startled: "No, you are Chinese, shouldn't you order?"

Chen Yan was also stunned. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

With this smile, the slight sense of strangeness between the two of them instantly faded a lot, and the originally somewhat unnatural atmosphere became a lot more comfortable.

The dishes were ordered by Yoona, she had been to this restaurant several times before.

To some extent, she knows more about dishes and taste than Chen Yan, a Chinese.

After ordering the dishes, the waiter left the box.

Lin Yuna took off her mask and was about to speak, but she saw Chen Yan opposite her had picked up the kettle and poured it into the tableware, as if he was washing it.

He rinsed each of the plates, bowls, soup spoons, vinegar dishes, and chopsticks with great skill.

"What are you doing?"

This was the first time that Yoona had seen such a scene, and she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Oh, this is to use tea to heat the dishes and chopsticks. We in Guangdong usually have this habit before eating out."

"Chen Yan, are you from Guangdong?"

"Well, but after coming to the peninsula with my parents ten years ago, I only go back there during the winter and summer vacations."

"So, is there any saying or meaning behind this dishwashing?"

Lin Yuna has never been to Guangdong. She just knows that there is such a place in China, but she is not familiar with the culture there.

"Well, there's no special meaning. If I had to say, it's related to our morning tea culture. We all like to have morning tea, and we usually don't drink the first cup of tea but just throw it away. It's like washing dishes, it's a habit."

Although Chen Yan came to the peninsula with his parents at the age of 13, he knew the culture of his hometown, and he learned the habit of washing dishes before meals from his parents since he was a child.

When he was a child, he didn’t know why he did this, but his parents taught him to do so, so he followed suit. When he grew up, he naturally developed this habit.

To some extent, this can also be considered a kind of cultural heritage.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Lin Yuna nodded suddenly, then picked up the teapot on the table and started washing the dishes, imitating Chen Yan's previous actions.

While she picked up the vinegar dish with chopsticks and rinsed it in the bowl, she looked up at Chen Yan, her clear deer eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Is that right?"

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is actually no special method, just follow your heart."

"it is good."

Lin Yuna smiled, and her hand movements became less restrained and more casual.

Finally, she poured out the hot water in the bowl and looked at the washed dishes. She couldn't help but smile, feeling a wonderful feeling in her heart.

It seems that after this wash, my heart suddenly became a lot more comfortable, and even eating became more of a ritual.

Moreover, she suddenly felt that the scene in front of her was inexplicably familiar, as if it had happened somewhere before.

At this time, the door of the private room opened and the waiter walked in with a dish. Lin Yuna's thoughts were interrupted and she stopped thinking about it.

She gestured for Chen Yan to pick up his chopsticks: "Try it, I think this dish here tastes very good." "Okay."

Chen Yan didn't pretend to be polite. He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then nodded.

"Well, it tastes very good, quite authentic."

Seeing this, Lin Yuna immediately smiled and felt relieved. She could see that Chen Yan's praise was not fake.

Then she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it into her mouth.

While eating, she started to find topics to chat with Chen Yan. She did not forget the purpose of her proposal to have this meal.

"Come to think of it, this is the first time we've talked so much."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "That's true. The first two times, they just said hello and left."

Whether it was the first time they met Yoona on TV or the last time backstage at the concert, the two of them actually didn't exchange much.

Lin Yuner picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, then looked up at Chen Yan: "Although we haven't communicated much, I feel like I'm very familiar with you."

Then, without waiting for the puzzled Chen Yan to ask, she gave the answer with a smile: "Because Taeyeon often mentioned you in the dormitory."

Kim Taeyeon: When did I start talking about Xiaoyan so often in front of you?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's doubts disappeared and he showed an expression of understanding.

Seeing this, Lin Yuner smiled secretly: "Chen Yan, when you met Taeyeon, she hadn't come to Seoul to be a trainee yet, right?"

"Correct."

He and his parents came to Peninsula in 03 and moved across from Kim Taeyeon's house. At that time, Kim Taeyeon's sister had not yet joined SM.

"Then can you tell me about Taeyeon's past? Is there any dark history?"

"Forehead"

Looking at Lin Yuna's eyes that were expectant and a little cunning, Chen Yan choked and felt as if he saw someone of the same kind.

It seems that the sister is not in a good situation in the team. After all, she is so small that she is probably no match for Yoona.

Although he is not a fan of Yoona, he also knows that the girl in front of him has the nickname "Da Li Yun" and is quite strong.

With the double pressure of height and strength, the smaller sister should be suppressed instantly.

But speaking of the time when he and Kim Taeyeon first met in 03.
"Well, actually, Taeyeon and I weren't very familiar with each other at that time."

Chen Yan was telling the truth. Kim Taeyeon's sister is actually quite introverted in private and not the type of person who can get along well with people quickly.

At that time, he would only see that sister when he went to her house for meals.

But even when they met, they just smiled politely and greeted each other.

Even their contact information was added one day by the two of them at the suggestion of Jin's mother, but after adding the contact information, they basically never chatted.

It wasn't until a while ago that Kim Taeyeon's sister suddenly started to care about his recent situation from time to time, and the two became familiar with each other and close.

On the opposite side, Lin Yuna just listened to Chen Yan talking, picking up some food with chopsticks from time to time.

Although Chen Yan did not talk about Kim Taeyeon's dark history, Lin Yoona listened with great interest.

After all, she didn't really want to know Kim Taeyeon's dark history, that was just an excuse.

After listening to the last words, she came to two conclusions.

First, Chen Yan really knows Taeyeon very well, and second, between Taeyeon and Chen Yan, it seems that Taeyeon was the one who took the initiative.

After coming to this conclusion, Lin Yuna couldn't help but secretly glance at Chen Yan opposite her.

A handsome younger brother, well, that makes sense.
