Peninsula: Starting with the nation's first love, the white moonlight

In August 2011, almost two months had passed since that breakup text message.

In the past two months, Li Luran seems like a completely different person.

He doesn't go out much anymore, and he doesn't talk much either.

I spend my days holed up in my room playing games, watching movies, or just staring blankly at the ceiling.

Although Li Luran usually looks cool, he has always had a gentle personality and is not a difficult person to get along with.

The parents saw this and were very worried.

They thought their son was discouraged because he failed the college entrance exam, but later they learned from his teacher that Li Luran's college entrance exam score was actually high enough to get into any top university in China, but they didn't know why Li Luran chose an overseas university.

What's even more baffling is that on the day the acceptance letter arrived at his home, he didn't even glance at it before throwing it directly into a drawer.

They dared not ask, for fear of upsetting Li Luran.

When Li Luran was an actor, there was a period when he was in a very bad state, but he gradually adjusted himself.

They knew their son's personality, and that trying to persuade him with kind words would only backfire.

However, almost two months have passed, and university is about to start. They had no other choice but to ask Zhang Kai to come over and see if any peers could offer some advice or guidance.

"Uncle, Auntie, don't worry, with me here, I guarantee that you'll have a lively and energetic Li Luran back in a few days!" Zhang Kai patted his chest and made a promise.

Zhang Kai skillfully pushed open the door to Li Luran's bedroom. The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn tightly. The television was on, and Li Luran was sitting on the edge of the bed watching TV, but her eyes were listless, as if she were daydreaming.

"Hey, what are you doing watching horror movies all day?" Zhang Kai walked over and pulled open the curtains.

"Come on, come on! Don't stay here getting moldy. Brother, I'll take you to a great place, you won't want to close your eyes again!"

……

Three days later, Gold Coast, New Zealand.

Azure skies and clear waters, seabirds circling overhead, and golden beaches gleaming in the sunlight.

Li Luran, wearing loose beach shorts and shirtless, lay lazily on a white beach chair.

Large sunglasses covered most of his face, and next to him was a coconut with a tube inserted.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Li Luran turned his head to look at the caller ID on the phone. After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly answered the phone.

"Lu Ran, brother, I'm so sorry!" Zhang Kai's wailing voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I had already packed my bags and picked up my plane ticket, but then my old man went crazy and insisted on dragging me out of town to meet some important clients, saying he wanted to cultivate my business acumen in advance!"

"ah!!!!"

"My sunny beaches, my bikini-clad beauties, ah..."

This time, Li Luran didn't even say "get lost" before hanging up the phone.

Yes, Li Luran got stood up by Zhang Kai again.

They ostensibly brought him on a trip to relax, but now look what's happened—the organizer has backed out again, leaving him all alone and exiled to a foreign land.

However, considering the pleasant scenery, Li Luran decided not to hold a grudge against the kid.

To be honest, the scenery here is indeed very beautiful.

On the distant coastline, many young people are surfing, their figures rising and falling with the tide, full of energy. On the nearby beach, sexy women in bikinis can be seen everywhere.

In short, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful!

Li Luran knew that Zhang Kai had no good intentions in bringing him to the beach, and sure enough, everywhere he looked was full of hormones.

However, with long legs, slim waists, and laughter everywhere, this place is definitely a paradise for men.

Li Luran lay quietly, staring at the long, white legs swaying in front of her, her mind completely blank.

"Before I knew it, almost two months had passed..."

The sea breeze seemed to blow away a lot of the worries in his heart. Perhaps Zhang Kai was right; this trip to New Zealand really did help him clear his mind.

He took a deep breath and told himself, "Li Luran, that's enough."

"It's no big deal. It's just a first love that didn't work out. Just think of it as a cold. Now the fever's gone."

"You've seen all sorts of people since you were a kid, how come you're being manipulated by a little girl?"

The one thing in this world that cannot be forced is the human heart.

Since you're already out here, make the most of this rare sunshine and beach.

As if suddenly his mind had cleared up, Li Luran felt much more relaxed.

He adjusted his lying position, put his hands behind his head, and prepared to close his eyes and take a good nap.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a shadow seemed to block the sunlight in front of him.

Li Luran frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

Standing in front of him was a petite woman wearing a conservative white sun-protective shirt, through which the outline of a yellow swimsuit could be vaguely seen.

Her long, golden curly hair was particularly eye-catching, flying freely in the sea breeze.

She was also wearing a large pair of sunglasses that covered almost half of her face, revealing her pointed chin and skin so white it was almost reflective.

Although she wasn't tall, probably no more than 1.6 meters, she was standing with her hands on her hips in front of Li Luran's recliner, looking down at him with a commanding presence.

Li Luran was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask if he had taken her place, the blonde woman made her move.

"ah!"

"How could you be like this?!"

"Just because you're wearing sunglasses in broad daylight doesn't mean people won't know what you're looking at!"

"You don't look very old, and you're quite decent-looking. Do you know that staring at a girl's legs like that is extremely impolite?"

She spoke very quickly, and as she spoke, she took half a step back.

Li Luran lay on the chair, completely stunned.

It wasn't just because of the strange woman's sudden accusation, but also because although the woman spoke Korean very quickly, Li Luran could understand every single word she said.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He studied Korean for half a year without sleep in order to prepare a surprise for Suzy.

Without even thinking, his brain automatically translated it for him.

Li Luran's lips twitched slightly; he didn't know how to explain it to this woman.

He was just spacing out, his gaze wandering aimlessly across the beach, without actually looking at anyone in particular.

He never expected that in this foreign land, he would be scolded by a female tourist from the peninsula for being a peeping tom.

Is he destined to never get along with women from the peninsula?

However, looking at this small man with such a strong presence, Li Luran's mischievous side suddenly kicked in.

He didn't take off his sunglasses, nor did he offer a flustered explanation like a normal person would.

Instead, he shifted to a more comfortable position, still lying in the chair, and calmly said:

"I'm sorry, big sister."

"I don't understand what you're saying. Did I do something wrong?"

The air fell silent instantly.

The blonde woman's mouth was still half-open, and the next sentence she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

Through her sunglasses, she stared intently at the innocent-looking boy on the deck chair.

Chinese?

He's not from the peninsula?

An embarrassing moment swept over me, and my cheeks started to burn.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! What's wrong with you today, Kim Tae-yeon? Why did you act so impulsively?!"

I finally managed to escape to New Zealand for a vacation to relax, but because I was walking on the beach earlier, I kept feeling like someone was watching me from behind, so I nervously ran over and accused them.

As a result, it seems that not only did they insult the wrong person, but the person also couldn't understand them at all!

It's like throwing a punch with all your might, only to hit a ball of cotton and strain your back in the process.

"Uh...that..."

Kim Tae-yeon gestured a couple of times, trying to explain, but her pitiful English vocabulary simply didn't allow her to do so.

As for Chinese... she knew absolutely nothing about it.

Li Luran suppressed a laugh, deliberately feigning an even more confused expression:

"Excuse me? Or do you speak English?"

Kim Tae-yeon's face turned even redder. She struggled for a long time, her clever little brain frantically thinking, and finally stammered out two words.

"Hello?"

"puff!!!"

Li Luran finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He took off his sunglasses, clutched his stomach, and laughed unrestrainedly on the beach chair.

That hearty laughter was a stark contrast to his previous gloomy demeanor.

Kim Tae-yeon looked at the jerk in front of her who was laughing so hard he was doubled over. If she still couldn't react by now, then she really was a fool.

Although this guy couldn't understand, he could definitely see his embarrassment; the guy was deliberately making fun of him!

Enraged!

Extremely enraged and humiliated!!!

As the leader of a top South Korean girl group, when has she ever suffered such injustice!

Kim Tae-yeon was so angry that she trembled all over. She stomped her foot, put her hands on her hips, and said that world-famous quote that even people who don't understand Korean can understand.

"Damn it!"

After she finished cursing, she glared at Li Luran fiercely, turned around, and walked away without looking back.

As the furious figure walked away faster and faster, the smile on Li Luran's face gradually faded.

"It seems... we've gone a bit too far."

He touched his nose guiltily, after all, it was his absent-mindedness that caused the other person to misunderstand and even anger them to swear.

"Fine, a good man doesn't argue with a woman. Go apologize."

Li Luran stood up from the deck chair, patted the sand off his beach shorts, and strode after him.
