Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 102 I'll be a dog if I lie to you

Hearing this, Li Ran rolled her eyes.

"alright."

Lee Ji-eun put the towel away and clapped her hands.

She glanced at the strands of hair sticking up on his head and tried hard to suppress her laughter.

Li Ran already had a premonition of what was going to happen.

He touched the top of his head with his right hand, feeling his messy hair, and thought it wouldn't be surprising if he felt static electricity.

"ah!"

He turned to look at Lee Ji-eun, "What have you done to my hair?"

Lee Ji-eun shrugged. "Your hair is naturally messy! What does it have to do with me?"

Li Ran gritted her teeth and looked at her, then glanced down at the bubbling ginger tea.

"Malicious retaliation is forbidden!" Lee Ji-eun glanced at Jiang Cha and said in a panic.

"cut."

He curled his lip. "You think I'm as petty as you? I'm very generous, okay!"

She squinted at Li Ran.

He used a spoon to scoop the ginger tea into a bowl.

Two large bowls were filled to the brim, just enough for one person.

"Here, take that bowl over yourself." He picked up a bowl of ginger tea and gestured with his chin to the other bowl.

"Aww~ Aww~"

The freshly brewed ginger tea was scalding hot; even through the ceramic bowl, it burned his fingers.

Lee Ji-eun looked at him like he was an idiot. "Isn't there a mat? Why did you just carry it with your hands?"

Li Ran's body stiffened instantly.

Damn, I forgot.

Without changing his expression, he put the bowl back down and reached for two mats, placing them under the bowl.

Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow and stared at him.

Li Ran felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and coughed lightly twice. "Ahem, what are you standing there for? The ginger tea won't be effective if it gets cold. It's meant to be drunk while it's hot!"

With that, he left the kitchen carrying the ginger tea with the coaster.

Watching his retreating figure, Lee Ji-eun shook her head.

"Hehe~ Hehe~"

She glanced down and saw Little Black sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail in front of her.

She gently touched Xiao Hei's chin with her toe. "Do you think your owner has some intellectual problems?"

Xiao Hei was still sticking out its tongue and looking at her, clearly unable to give her an answer.

In the living room.

Li Ran placed the ginger tea on the coffee table.

He blew on it gently, and small ripples appeared on the surface of the ginger tea.

He sniffed, and a strong smell of ginger wafted towards him, mixed with a hint of sweetness.

"Boom!"

The occasional rumble of thunder outside the window disturbed the otherwise tranquil atmosphere.

Li Ran leaned against the sofa and sighed, "Damn it, when is this rain going to stop?"

"I feel like my vegetables are going to drown if the water keeps going down. The yard is practically a swimming pool."

He reached out and pressed down the hair sticking up on the top of his head, but it had the opposite effect.

Li Ran took out her phone and took a picture of herself.

The few strands of hair on his head stood there stubbornly, just like his brother when he had just woken up in the morning.

Footsteps came from the kitchen.

Lee Ji-eun was slowly walking over, carrying a cup of ginger tea.

Behind her followed a little black cat that kept wagging its tail.

I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Hei lately, he always likes to follow Lee Ji-eun around.

She rarely feeds it; it's usually Li Ran who feeds it.

The indoor lighting wasn't very good on a rainy day, so Li Ran turned on the lights.

Lee Ji-eun placed the ginger tea on the coffee table, shook her hand, and sat down next to Lee Ran.

She lowered her head and blew on the bowl.

A wave of heat hit her face directly.

Lee Ji-eun wrinkled her nose, turned to look at Lee Ran, and said, "Couldn't you have added more sugar? The ginger flavor is too strong!"

Li Ran rolled her eyes. "If ginger tea doesn't have a strong ginger flavor, is it even ginger tea? What? You expect me to pour you a cola?"

Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up. "Really? Sprite is fine too."

"No!" he said irritably.

"Tch, if you don't have it, you don't have it. What are you yelling about?"

She picked up a spoon, scooped up a small spoonful of ginger tea, and put it in her mouth.

"Hiss~"

Her entire face immediately scrunched up.

"What's wrong? Is it too spicy?"

Li Ran's ginger tea was still on the coffee table; she hadn't had a chance to drink it yet.

Seeing her condition, he quietly moved the bowl of ginger tea away a little.

"It's a little spicy."

She smacked her lips. "But it seems quite sweet."

"real?"

Li Ran looked at her suspiciously.

"Yes!" She nodded. "It tastes quite spicy at first, but the spiciness wears off quickly, and it's sweet. It's actually quite delicious. You should try it!"

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Li Ran glanced at the dark brown liquid in the bowl and suddenly became suspicious.

"If it's delicious, why don't you have another one?" He said, pointing to the still full of ginger tea in front of Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Ji-eun gritted her teeth, looked at the smiling Lee Ran, and returned the smile, "I was going to drink it anyway."

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't even need a spoon; she simply picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.

"Glug~"

She swallowed the ginger tea in her mouth and then looked at Li Ran.

"Look!"

She opened her mouth to show Li Ran.

"Alright, alright, I got it. You don't need to show me."

Li Ran waved her hand.

He shifted his gaze back to the ginger tea on the coffee table and then picked up the bowl.

The ceramic bowl was still warm, but it was definitely much warmer than before.

He lowered his head and blew on it, causing ripples to spread across the surface of the dark brown liquid.

The aroma of the ginger tea also became stronger.

Lee Ji-eun was staring at him intently, without even blinking.

Li Ran didn't use a spoon; she simply held the bowl and took a sip.

As a result, a spicy sensation exploded on the tip of his tongue!

He wrinkled his nose, with ginger tea still in his mouth.

Since he had already drunk it, he was too embarrassed to spit it out, so he had no choice but to swallow the ginger tea in his mouth.

"Glug~"

He had just finished swallowing when he stared at Lee Ji-eun.

"Hey! Lee Ji-eun!"

"Is this what you mean by 'delicious'?"

"slightly."

She stuck out her tongue, looking like her plan had finally succeeded.

"You just said you were a dog lying to me? And then you—"

"Woof woof woof!"

Before Li Ran could react, Li Zhi'en tilted her head slightly and gently shook her fists on both sides of her cheeks.

"Well----"

Li Ran had forgotten what he originally wanted to say.

Seeing her accept defeat, he felt like he'd punched a cotton ball, utterly helpless.

"Hehehe."

Lee Ji-eun burst out laughing.

Li Ran pouted. "What are you so happy about?"

"Even if you're not lying to me, I was going to drink it anyway, otherwise why would I have bothered making ginger tea?"

"But you, you tricked me into drinking so much at once."

"Tsk tsk tsk." He shook his head.

Lee Ji-eun's smile froze instantly.

That's right!

Why didn't she think of that back then?

Li Ran was originally going to drink ginger tea!

She bit her lip, glanced at the ginger tea that was almost half gone, and then looked at Li Ran, who was gloating.

"Damn it!"
