Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 100! Where are you looking?

Moving around in heavy rain is usually not easy.

Li Ran began to regret her decision.

He lifted his leg and found that his trouser legs were soaked and his shoes had absorbed a lot of water.

Lee Ji-eun looked down at the mud around the edge of her shoes, then turned to Lee Ran, "Is the shed almost done now?"

"That's enough, let's go back."

He glanced at the hastily tidied tomato greenhouse and nodded.

Lee Ji-eun breathed a sigh of relief.

Working in the heavy rain was extremely uncomfortable, but she had volunteered to help, so I felt a little embarrassed to say I couldn't continue.

Li Ran wiped the rain off her face, and as she turned around, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

"What's wrong?" Lee Ji-eun asked when she saw him pause.

Li Ran tilted her head slightly, wanting to rub her eyes but afraid of getting something in them.

"I think I just got something in my eye," he said.

"Did it get flooded?"

"It could be mud, or it could be something else."

He frowned, his eyes half-open and half-closed.

"When the plastic shed was blown up by the wind, I didn't notice, and something must have hit my face," he said.

Lee Ji-eun leaned closer and took a look.

Rainwater streamed down Li Ran's hair.

His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and water droplets clung to his eyelashes.

Li Ran's eye was clearly not opening properly; she was squeezing it open with all her might.

The rain kept falling, and he couldn't rub his eyes for fear of getting water in them again.

"Let's go back inside first," he said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun gently helped him walk into the house.

The two entered the house and casually closed the door behind them.

The sound of rain outside immediately subsided considerably.

The two people walked in, soaking wet, leaving watermarks on the ground, looking rather disheveled.

Lee Ji-eun looked down at her soaked hoodie.

The wet clothes clung tightly to her body, sticky and uncomfortable.

"Ugh, this is so uncomfortable."

She brushed her wet hair back.

Li Ran took a dry towel from the side and handed it to her, "Here, wipe yourself first."

"And what about you?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at him.

He shrugged. "I'll be fine in a bit."

Lee Ji-eun took the towel from his hand and was just about to dry her hair when she noticed that Lee Ran had squinted his eyes again.

He stood by the door, his brows furrowed, his eyes blinking rapidly.

"Are your eyes still bothering you?" she asked.

Li Ran nodded.

"Lower your head a little."

"what?"

He paused slightly, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"I said, lower your head a little!" Lee Ji-eun poked his arm. "Lower your head so I can see you."

Li Ran hesitated for two seconds before finally bending down.

Lee Ji-eun raised her hand and gently brushed away the wet hair on his forehead.

The distance between the two suddenly shortened considerably, so close that she could clearly see Li Ran's long eyelashes.

"Open your eyes a little wider," she said.

"You make it sound so easy," Li Ran grinned. "The main reason I can't open my eyes is because they hurt."

"Just bear with it."

Her voice unconsciously softened, as if she were coaxing a child.

Li Ran raised her eyes and barely managed to open them a little.

Lee Ji-eun looked down and examined herself closely. She could vaguely see that there seemed to be a small thing stuck to the corner of her eye.

"It looks like there's something there."

"Can you get it done?"

"Don't move."

She moved even closer.

Although they were wearing raincoats, their effectiveness didn't seem very noticeable in the downpour.

Lee Ji-eun's hoodie clung to her body, revealing a barely visible outline.

Li Ran glanced at it with her other uninjured eye and subconsciously looked away.

But the two of them were standing too close, and Li Ran didn't know where to look.

Lee Ji-eun stared into his eyes for a long time before saying, "It seems like just blowing on it will do."

"blow?"

"Yes, you should lower your head first."

Li Ran obediently lowered her head.

Lee Ji-eun gently held his head, telling him not to move.

The next second, she immediately stood on her tiptoes.

"Phew~"

A warm breeze gently descended, carrying a hint of mint.

Li Ran was slightly taken aback.

Perhaps because he had just been caught in the rain and was feeling cold all over, he found the warmth particularly noticeable.

It was so obvious that he felt goosebumps all over his body.

The two were standing way too close.

He could even smell the faint scent of shampoo on Lee Ji-eun's body.

Although the fragrance was diluted by the rain, he could still smell it.

How come my nose is like a dog's? My sense of smell is so sharp?

This idea suddenly popped into his mind.

After blowing the whistle, Lee Ji-eun frowned and looked at him.

"Are you feeling better?"

Li Ran blinked. "I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Then I'll try again."

She stood on tiptoe and blew on it again.

This time she got even closer, so close that Li Ran could see her wet eyelashes and pouting lips when she looked down.

Her bangs were wet, soaked with water.

One drop of water happened to run down her hair and land near her collarbone.

Li Ran's gaze followed the drop of water, finally settling on it.

Although he was surrounded by the sound of rain, the air suddenly seemed very quiet to him.

Lee Ji-eun blew into his eyes, then subconsciously looked up to check the situation.

As a result, she happened to come into Li Ran's view.

She paused slightly, then looked down following his gaze.

Hey! What are you looking at?

She looked up at him.

Having been caught red-handed, Li Ran felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Ahem, didn't you tell me to open my eyes? So I opened them and didn't move."

"Then look at other places." Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes.

"You're so close, where can I even see?"

'

'

Lee Ji-eun choked for a moment.

She coughed lightly, trying to change the subject, "How are your eyes now? Are they feeling better?"

Li Ran blinked twice, then nodded. "It seems to be better."

Lee Ji-eun breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "That's fine then."

She dried her wet hair with a towel, and also wiped her neck and shoulders.

After wiping herself, she handed the towel to Li Ran, saying, "Here, you wipe yourself too."

"You're soaked in sweat, don't catch a cold."

Li Ran took the towel from her hand, glanced at another dry towel in the corner of the door, and wisely chose not to open it.

He wiped his forehead, hair, and neck with a towel.

During this time, the lingering fragrance of the towel lingered around his nose, and it seemed to still carry a trace of his body warmth.

Li Ran felt that what she was doing was somewhat abnormal.

But he was also wronged. He never did anything on his own initiative; he just passively smelled a lot of fragrance and felt a lot of residual body heat.

I can't take it anymore, the more I think about it, the more like a pervert I feel.

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of all the jumbled thoughts.

Lee Ji-eun glanced down at her mud-covered sneakers.

She took off her shoes first, then realized her socks were soaked, so she took them off too.

Lee Ji-eun stepped barefoot on the floor and felt the soles of her feet were cool.

She wiggled her toes, walked to the side, and put on her slippers.
