Peninsula: From a supporting actor to the best actor in Chungmuro

Chapter 86 The Undercurrent of the Purple Scarf

1:20 am.

When Jiang Zaixun pushed open the door of the apartment, the room was pitch black, with only the sensor light in the entrance lighting up with his movement.

(It’s so late…Bible should be asleep.)
He took off his shoes carefully, but the moment he bent down——

"Snapped."

The lights in the master bedroom suddenly went out.

Jiang Zaixun froze in place.

(Pretending to sleep?)

He hesitated for two seconds, then walked to the master bedroom door and knocked gently:
"Bible?"

No response.

"The Bible..."

He knocked again: "I'm back."

Still no movement.

Jiang Zaixun took a deep breath and was about to knock again——

"Click."

The door was flung open.

Jiang Zaixun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he took three steps back reflexively.

Lee Sung-kyung supported herself on the door frame with one hand, holding the pair of iconic purple dumbbells (2KG) in the other, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Bible...you, you put it down..."

Jiang Zaixun swallowed his saliva and his voice trembled:
"Speak well if you have something to say..."

Li Jingcheng weighed the dumbbells and said calmly:
"If there is no good reason to disturb my sleep, it will-"

"boom!"

She slammed the dumbbell against the door frame with one hand, making a dull thud.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Jiang Zaixun quickly raised his hands in surrender:
"I came to... uh..."

He's stuck.

(You can’t just ask “that kiss this afternoon,” right?)
(You’ll be crushed to death by the dumbbells!)
Li Jingjing narrowed his eyes: "Three seconds."

"and many more!"

Jiang Zaixun thought quickly: "I came to ask... about the progress of the MV editing!"

"..."

Li Jingjing stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly sneered:
"One in the morning?"

"Uh……"

"boom!"

The door was slammed shut.

Jiang Zaixun stood outside the door, touched his nose, and muttered softly:
“…Okay, it really sucks.”

He turned around dejectedly, and just took two steps -

The door opened again.

Li Jingjing leaned against the door frame, still holding the dumbbells in his hands:

"Have you coaxed her yet?"

Jiang Zaixun was about to answer "Yeah" when he suddenly realized that this was a trap question and quickly changed the subject:
"Oh right! This is something Xiu... Crystal asked me to pass on to you."

He took out an exquisite paper bag from his backpack and handed it over carefully.

Li Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, took the paper bag and looked inside - there was a box of high-end hand cream and several facial masks.

"What do you mean?"

She shook the paper bag.

"She just... said thank you for letting her watch the MV shoot... and she also said this hand cream is especially good for people who lift weights frequently..."

"Her exact words?"

"Uh……"

Li Jingcheng suddenly narrowed his eyes:

"When did she buy it?"

"As soon as... the radio show ends..."

"Oh? It's already early morning when the radio show ends. Which store is still open?"

"That... 24-hour duty-free shop..."

"is it?"

Li Jingcheng suddenly pulled out a small receipt from the bottom of the paper bag:
"Strange, why is your name written on it?"

Jiang Jae-hoon froze instantly.

(It’s over…)
(I forgot to take out the receipt!)
He watched as Li Jingjing's slender fingers unfolded the shopping receipt, which clearly read:

[Kang Jae-hoon membership card number: XXXXXX]

The air froze for three seconds.

"Why lie?"

"I'm afraid you'll be angry."

"Why are you afraid that I'll be angry?"

"because……"

Jiang Zaixun's voice suddenly became softer: "I don't want you to feel ignored."

Li Jingcheng's fingers paused slightly.

She saw that Jiang Zaixun's eyes were as soft as melted chocolate:
"You always take care of me, and I want to..."

"..."

Li Jingjing suddenly turned his face away and spun the dumbbell in his hands:
"Idiot..." But the coldness in his tone had mostly disappeared.

Jiang Zaixun keenly noticed the change in atmosphere and suddenly took out another exquisite box from his backpack:

"Actually, this is what I really want to give you!"

The Hermès packaging box exudes a low-key luxurious luster under the light.

Li Jingcheng was stunned:

"What is this?"

"A gift to celebrate the debut of the Bible singer!"

Jiang Zaixun opened the box like he was presenting a treasure, and inside was a purple "Zebra in the Forest" silk scarf:
"The first time I saw it, I felt it was perfect for you..."

His fingertips gently stroked the dark pattern of zebra stripes on the scarf:

"Just like you, elegant and..."

"What again?"

"again……"

Jiang Zaixun suddenly got stuck and uttered after a long time:
“It’s just very beautiful…”

Lee Sung-kyung stared at the scarf for a long time, so long that Kang Jae-hoon's hands began to feel sore.

"..."

She suddenly reached out to take the box and turned to close the door.

"and many more!"

Jiang Zaixun hurriedly blocked the door:
"How do you like it?"

Lee Sung-kyung turned her back to him: "...It's so ugly."

Jiang Zaixun's eyes lit up - she didn't throw it back directly, which meant she liked it!

"Shall I help you put it on and try it on?"

He immediately took advantage of the situation and squeezed half of his body in, then bravely made a suggestion.

"..."

Li Jingcheng turned away and lowered his head slightly.

This tacit consent made Jiang Zaixun's heart beat faster. He carefully took out the silk scarf and deliberately brushed the ends of her hair with his fingers——

The scent of lavender lingers on your fingertips.

Five seconds later.

Li Jingcheng looked down at the twisted knot on her chest, then looked up at him again.

"So lovely!"

Jiang Zaixun admired his "masterpiece" with confidence.

"..."

Lee Sung-kyung sighed, untying and adjusting the knot herself. Her slender fingers flew nimbly, tying a beautiful French knot in no time.

"Wow!"

Jiang Zaixun sincerely praised: "The Bible is so powerful!"

"You are too stupid."

She expressed disgust, but her fingertips unconsciously stroked the dark patterns on the edge of the scarf.

Under the light, the purple scarf makes her skin look like snow, and the zebra stripes rise and fall gently with her breathing, as if they were alive.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Jingjing felt uncomfortable with his direct gaze and turned around to go back to her room.

Jiang Zaixun suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist:
"and many more!"

Li Jingcheng turned around with a warning look in her eyes.

"that……"

Jiang Zaixun not only did not let go, but he gently stroked the inside of her wrist:
"MV...is the subsequent filming going smoothly?"

This action made Li Jingcheng stiffen all over.

(This Prabhu...)
(When did you learn this trick?)
She pretended to be calm: "That's it."

"Oh, then...will you ask me to take the photo with you next time?"

"see your performance."

"Did I behave badly? That kiss..."

"boom!"
