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

The car drove slowly through the wind and snow.

Inside the car, Bae Suzy leaned quietly against Lee Luran, the faint scent of perfume mixed with a hint of alcohol wafting from her hair into Lee Luran's nose.

"How much did this woman drink? How did she get so drunk?"

Seemingly feeling uncomfortable in her current position, Bae Suzy murmured softly, turned her body slightly to the side, and naturally wrapped her arms around Lee Luran's arm.

The girl's fragrance and soft touch slowly spread to Li Luran's arm, and then all the way to his heart.

Now Li Luran was even more at a loss. He tried to pull his arm out of Xiuzhi's arms, but she was holding him very tightly and he couldn't get it out at all.

"Suzy. Suzy?"

Li Luran gently called her name twice, but Xiuzhi kept her eyes closed and her breathing even, as if she had really fallen asleep.

A few seconds later, as if she heard Li Luran's call, Xiuzhi gently nuzzled her head and turned it to face him, tilting her head up so that it was directly in front of Li Luran's neck.

Instantly, a sweet fragrance wafted over his neck and into his nasal cavity.

Xiuzhi's pretty face was so close, her alluring lips glistening with moisture. If he lowered his head even slightly, he could taste the sweetness of her lips.

Li Luran's breathing gradually became rapid, and his heartbeat gradually became out of control.

As if under some kind of spell, his head inexplicably drooped downwards.

Ten centimeters, five centimeters, three centimeters... their noses almost touched, and their soft lips were separated by only a thin line.

Their breaths mingled in the small space, and they could clearly hear each other.

In that instant, it seemed as if two little figures were fiercely clashing in Li Luran's mind.

The little black figure kept urging, "Hurry up and kiss her! Li Luran, she pushed you away so heartlessly back then, this is just her collecting a little interest, what are you afraid of!"

The little white figure sternly rebuked them: "Taking advantage of someone in distress is no gentlemanly behavior! Soo-ji trusts you so much, you can't betray that trust!"

Two conflicting thoughts clashed violently in his mind, just as his sanity was about to crumble...

"Young man, we're almost there!"

The driver's shout instantly pulled Li Luran back from that romantic atmosphere.

He quickly raised his head and took several deep breaths to calm the agitation in his heart.

Five minutes later, the car stopped at the apartment building. Li Luran opened the car door and carefully helped Xiuzhi out of the car.

The road surface was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snowflakes in the night sky showed no sign of stopping, as if they wanted to shroud this bustling city in a silvery white blanket.

"Suzy."

Li Luran gently patted Bae Suzy's arm. "Wake up. We're here."

Bae Suzy's eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes with difficulty. She rubbed her eyes groggily and looked up at the familiar apartment building.

"Hmm... sixth floor," she mumbled softly.

Li Luran slowed his pace and half-supported, half-carried her into the building's lobby.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and the two stepped inside.

As soon as she entered, Bae Soo-ji immediately lay down on Lee Lu-ran's chest.

Li Luran subconsciously supported her waist, but before he could ask what was wrong, Pei Xiuzhi suddenly raised her head, her eyes showing no trace of drunkenness.

She stared intently into Li Luran's eyes. "Li Luran, do you... like Zhi En unnie?"

"Ding!"

As if timed perfectly, the elevator arrived at the sixth floor quickly, and the doors slowly opened.

However, Li Luran froze on the spot. He subconsciously avoided her gaze and turned to look outside the elevator.

After a moment of silence, the two stepped out of the elevator. The corridor was dimly lit and so quiet that even their breathing could be heard clearly.

Bae Suzy didn't press the previous question. She was a smart girl and could tell that even if Lee Luran wasn't dating Lee Ji-eun, the two of them definitely had feelings for each other.

Pressing for answers will only make the situation more awkward.

Upon reaching the door, Li Luran released his grip on her hand.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, Suzy's voice came again:

"So...do you still like me?"

Bae Suzy's sudden direct attack completely stunned Lee Luran.

He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he had no idea how to answer.

Like it? Dislike it? These two thoughts collided wildly in my mind.

Seeing his helpless expression, Bae Soo-ji smiled slightly and did not press him further.

She suddenly stepped forward and hugged Li Luran tightly, then quickly let go of him before he could react.

"Wait until you've thought it through before you answer me."

Suzy turned around and pushed open the door. She stood in the entryway with a bright smile on her face, shaking the phone she was holding.

"Li Luran. It's snowing heavily on the way back, be careful. Remember to text me when you arrive to let me know you're safe."

The door slowly closed.

Li Luran was left alone, standing in the quiet stairwell, listening to his own rapidly beating heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

Just one door away, the room was pitch black.

Suzy leaned against the door, her chest rising and falling slightly. That hug just now seemed to have exhausted all the courage she had been holding onto all night.

This was the first time she had ever taken such the initiative with a boy. The accident in the elevator six months ago might have been influenced by some external factors, but this time, it was a choice she made after truly understanding her own heart.

Suzy has always been a person with a fearless and decisive personality, who dares to love and hate.

However, once she takes off her disguise, she is now just an eighteen-year-old girl.

Suzy covered her burning cheeks, held her breath, and listened carefully to the sounds outside the door.

It was still quiet outside. She could tell that Li Luran hadn't left yet; he must still be standing outside the door, processing her hug.

"Ding!"

The sound of the elevator arriving could be heard, followed by a series of light footsteps, after which silence finally returned to the outside.

Suzy breathed a soft sigh of relief. "Did they leave?"

She didn't dare open the door to check, because the moment she hugged Li Luran, his violently pounding heart had already betrayed him.

Most importantly, he didn't push himself away.

He definitely still likes himself.

Perhaps it was that unresolved issue from before that made him hesitant to take that step again.

What she had to do was to untie the knot she had tied herself, little by little.

"Sooji, you can do it. Isn't everything going according to plan? Just now in the car, we almost..."

She touched her lips, silently encouraging herself: "If you can make him like you once, you can make him willingly come back to you again!"

Just as she was immersed in joy...

"Clatter!"

The living room lights suddenly turned on, the light was a bit dazzling, and Soo-ji subconsciously closed her eyes and let out a gasp.
