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

The accompaniment gradually stopped.

Li Luran was still immersed in the trio's performance. Lee Ji-eun's sincerity, Park Ji-yeon's passion, and Suzy's nostalgic performance left him unable to calm down for a long time.

It must be said that the live performances of these three female singers from the peninsula were truly amazing.

"Lee Luran-xi, it's your turn." Suzy smiled and handed over the microphone.

Li Luran subconsciously reached out his hand, but then stopped in mid-air.

Accepting the call is not an option, nor is refusing it.

Not answering would be disappointing and impolite, but answering would be even more troublesome. He knew perfectly well what level his singing was at; it was something even Park Ji-hoon looked down on.

To sing in front of these three professional singers is like showing off one's skills in front of an expert—utterly humiliating.

Just as Li Luran was caught in a dilemma, his considerate younger sister, Zhi'en, stepped in to help him out. "Suzy, he's not very good at singing Korean songs. But Luran can play many instruments!" Li Zhi'en raised her chin slightly, looking proud.

"I heard him play the guitar when I was at the company last time. His skill level was just as good as those of professional band guitarists!"

"Oh mo oh mo".

Upon hearing this, Park Jiyeon immediately became interested.

She walked straight to Li Luran and sat down next to him, tilting her head and staring intently at him with her big eyes.

"Really? Li Luran, what musical instruments do you play? Can you tell me about them?"

Seeing that he didn't have to sing, Li Luran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment and then said truthfully:

"I play the guitar the most, and I know a little piano, and I can barely play the violin. In addition, there are some traditional Chinese instruments, such as the erhu and yueqin, which you may not have heard of."

"Wow! You can play so many musical instruments?"

Park Jiyeon's eyes widened slightly as she looked at him incredulously. "You're not a vocal student, are you? Did you learn all of this on your own?"

"I studied piano for a while, but my fingers just won't cooperate. Li Luran, could you teach me if you have time?"

Upon hearing this, the two women sitting next to him immediately perked up their ears.

Ji-eun is now kicking herself; she never dreamed that Ji-yeon would be so interested in Lee Lu-ran.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have praised him earlier! Now look what's happened, she's actually being asked to teach Li Luran to play the piano? A lone man and woman like that, no way!

Bae Suzy was also secretly annoyed; her plan had gone perfectly, but it had all fallen apart in the end.

She originally planned to wait for Li Luran to sing, then seize the opportunity to sing a love duet with him.

It could both liven up the atmosphere and shorten the distance between them. Who would have thought that things would develop into Park Jiyeon talking to him about musical instruments?

Li Luran, of course, didn't take those words seriously, assuming that Park Jiyeon was just being polite.

Besides, he couldn't possibly go and teach a female idol to play the piano.

"I only know a little bit about it," Li Luran waved his hand, politely declining. "I don't have the ability to teach you. At most, we can discuss it together sometime in the future."

"OK!"

Park Jiyeon suddenly stood up from the sofa, clapped her hands, and enthusiastically suggested, "Why not seize the day! Let's go to my house now! I have quite a few musical instruments!"

She glanced at Li Luran, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Li Luran-xi, you wouldn't reject me, would you?"

Then, she turned to the other two and said, "Ji-eun, Soo-ji, you two should come too!"

Li Luran frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse.

He's a grown man. In the middle of the night, he goes to a female idol's house. What's going on? Even with two other girls present, it's still incredibly inappropriate.

Jiyeon seemed to see through his concerns and smiled slyly.

"Li Luran-xi. The three of us drank at the izakaya just now."

She feigned a pitiful look: "Are you really comfortable letting the three of us girls go back alone? It's the middle of the night, what if the taxi driver recognizes us, or has ulterior motives..."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Li Luran was at her wit's end and quickly interrupted her, "Fine, I'll go! I'll take you there."

"It's settled then! Ji-eun, Soo-ji, let's go to my house!"

Jiyeon excitedly pulled her two best friends out, and Li Luran could only follow helplessly.

……

A black taxi drove smoothly through the streets of Seoul.

The car was unusually quiet. The three women were each looking out the window, lost in their own thoughts.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at a luxury apartment building in Gangnam District.

The four of them took the elevator to Park Jiyeon's home.

The apartment is spacious and has a cozy style with wooden furniture and several cute beanbag chairs on the floor. The space is neatly and cleanly arranged.

However, the most eye-catching area is the area in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Park Ji-yeon was not lying.

There was a white piano there, and several guitars hung on the wall. On the piano shelf in the corner hung a walnut-colored violin.

"Please sit wherever you like." Jiyeon took a few bottles of water from the refrigerator and handed them to them.

Then, she pointed to the window and said, "Li Luran, you can use any of those musical instruments."

Li Luran nodded and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

He picked up the violin and briefly tested its tone. The violin had a very pure tone, clearly indicating that it was regularly maintained.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, streaming into the living room through the French windows and falling directly on Li Luran.

Li Luran had his back to the floor-to-ceiling window and rested the violin on his left shoulder.

He closed his eyes, gently plucked the strings with his right hand, and a piece of "Moonlight Sonata" flowed quietly in the quiet living room.

The music was sometimes low and sometimes high-pitched.

Under the moonlight, he seemed to merge with the violin, exuding a captivating charm.

On the sofa, the three women's gazes all fixed on the man.

Park Jiyeon rested her chin on her hands, her eyes filled with admiration and amazement.

She originally just wanted to see what was so special about this man that made Ji-eun and Soo-ji care about him so much.

Unexpectedly, this aloof Chinese student was indeed exceptionally talented.

Bae Suzy leaned back on the sofa, gently biting her rosy lower lip.

This man is even more dazzling and charming than when we first met.

Although she had known Li Luran for a long time, this was the first time she had seen him shine so brightly.

She felt her heart beating faster and faster, and her competitive spirit reached its peak at that moment.

"He's mine! He always has been, and he always will be!"

Ji-eun's feelings were the most complex, a mixture of pride and a strong sense of crisis.

Li Luran is certainly outstanding, and she knows that better than anyone else.

However, this dazzling man is now exposed to the sight of so many women.
