Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 108 Who's treating you like a toy?

Lee Ji-eun could feel the softness and slight dampness in her palm.

"Waaaaah~"

Li Ran's mouth was gagged, and he mumbled something, but it was impossible to hear what he was trying to say.

"Oops! You drooled on my hand!"

She turned her hand over and looked at the water stains on her palm, then frowned.

"This isn't my fault! You're the one who reached out and touched me, how can you blame me?" Li Ran said irritably.

Lee Ji-eun pouted and wiped her palms on his body. However, since Lee Ran wasn't wearing a shirt, she ended up wiping his stomach instead.

"Ouch!" Li Ran sucked in her stomach and instinctively dodged to the side. "What are you doing? It tickles!"

He is quite sensitive; he can't stand it if someone scratches his stomach or neck.

It's so itchy.

Lee Ji-eun, who had just made the move, realized that her behavior seemed a bit off.

She sat up and then moved to the side.

"Isn't this all because you took photos indiscriminately? Otherwise, would all of this have happened?"

"What series of events? You're making it sound like something huge happened." Li Ran pouted.

"Snap!"

Lee Ji-eun slapped his belly hard.

"ah!"

After glancing at the red handprint on her stomach, Li Ran looked at Li Zhi'en.

"Um?

She blinked, staring at the red handprint. "How come you leave your mark so easily?"

Before Li Ran could react, Li Zhi'en patted his belly again.

Another red handprint appeared on Li Ran's fair belly.

"Hey! Are you using me as a drum set?! Plucking at me all over the place."

He stepped back.

Lee Ji-eun sat cross-legged next to him, looked at the red mark on his stomach, and couldn't help but reach out and poke it again.

"It's become quite noticeably red."

He took a pillow from the side and placed it in front of him, blocking Lee Ji-eun's view.

"That's a bit of a pervert!"

"What's so perverted about it! I'm just looking! Do you think anyone cares?" she shouted, but her eyes never left his stomach.

It was clean and white, but it turned red after being patted. It felt quite fun.

She thought for a long time before coming up with this word.

Li Ran felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and took a step back.

Seeing his wary look, Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow. "Is it really necessary?"

"Is it really necessary?" He emphasized the last word.

"Look at the look in your eyes just now, like you've discovered some new toy." Li Ran rolled her eyes.

"Who's treating you like a toy?"

She retorted verbally, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the red mark.

Li Ran glanced at her sideways.

"I really was just looking," Lee Ji-eun pouted. "And why are you being so coy, you're a guy?"

"I was just saying I'd only rub against you!" Li Ran seemed to think it was a bit strange to have the pillow in front of her, so she simply threw it aside.

He pulled the short-sleeved shirt that was rolled up next to him and put it back on.

"The adventure isn't over yet! Why are you already wearing it!" Lee Ji-eun said, dissatisfied.

"I just asked you to do twenty push-ups, how come you only did eleven?"

"How can that be the same?"

"How are they different?"

She opened her mouth, paused for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out, "Anyway, it's just different."

Li Ran looked at her "I'm right but I'm too lazy to explain" attitude and pursed her lips.

"Oh right, you almost distracted me and I forgot. Hurry up and delete the photos on your phone!" Lee Ji-eun snapped out of her reverie and looked at him.

"Delete, delete, delete, got it."

He lowered his head and pulled his short-sleeved shirt down to cover the red marks on his stomach that hadn't faded yet, before picking up his phone.

"Then I'll delete it?"

Lee Ji-eun immediately became alert.

She moved to the right, right next to him, and said, "I'll supervise you as you delete it."

The sofa wasn't very big to begin with, and when she got close, their shoulders almost touched.

Li Ran leaned to the side and pointed to the photo on her phone.

"Here, these are the few."

In the video, Lee Ji-eun is doing push-ups, her buttocks sticking out and her head down, looking exhausted.

At first, Li Ran just wanted to capture her embarrassing moment, but now he's realized something.

Lee Ji-eun is, after all, a celebrity, even though she was just doing push-ups in the photo.

He doesn't have the surname Chen, nor would he go to someone to repair his phone, but it's still better to be safe than sorry.

Lee Ji-eun was practically staring at his fingers.

"Deleted?"

"Deleted."

"Where's the recycle bin? Delete everything."

"I was just about to open it!"

Li Ran went to the recently deleted photos and completely deleted those photos in front of her. She even waved her phone in her direction and handed it to her for inspection.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Lee Ji-eun stared at the blank page, pursed her lips, and said, "It's barely acceptable."

She turned her head and glanced at him.

I didn't notice when I came closer, but now I realize that the two of us are a little too close.

Her arm was almost touching Li Ran's arm.

There was a faint scent of shampoo in the air, mixed with the occasional breeze.

Lee Ji-eun originally intended to return the phone, but her gaze drifted and was drawn to the thumbnails in the photo album.

"Um?

Her eyes paused for a moment.

Why do you have so many strange photos on your phone?

Li Ran looked down and her expression froze.

"Don't flip through it!"

It's a pity it's too late.

Lee Ji-eun was quick and swiped down directly.

"Pfft~"

She almost burst out laughing.

The photo shows a very fierce-looking stray cat. The camera is very close, and the cat is staring at the camera with an impatient expression, its mouth slightly crooked.

But there's a note written below it.

"The Face That Owes Me Eight Hundred Yuan".

It has both Chinese and Korean versions.

The Korean words were something Li Ran picked up while she was learning Korean.

Lee Ji-eun stared at the photo and couldn't help but laugh. "You even wrote a note for the cat?"

"This is no ordinary cat."

Li Ran immediately corrected her.

"He was a local bully near where I used to live. He would come over every day to freeload, and then he would curse at people after he finished eating."

"Can cats swear?"

Yes.

Li Ran nodded seriously, "Especially when you don't open the can of food for it, its eyes look particularly unruly."

Seeing that although he said not to flip through the pages, he didn't do anything further, Lee Ji-eun flipped through the pages again.

A photo of dark clouds.

Note: "The sky has fallen because I forgot to pay the electricity bill."

A picture of oden (Japanese stew) at a convenience store late at night.

Note: "The Pillar of Life at One in the Morning".

There's also a picture of a crooked tree, I don't know where it was taken.

Note: "Very much like my boss."

Lee Ji-eun's shoulders started shaking from laughing.

"What kind of random stuff do you usually film?"
