Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 109 It's no use screaming your lungs out.

"No!"

Lee Ji-eun shook her head and continued scrolling through her phone's photo album.

"ah!"

Li Ran reached out, trying to snatch the phone back. "You're violating my privacy!"

"Who was taking pictures of me just now? Isn't that an invasion of privacy?" Lee Ji-eun tilted her head slightly as she looked at him.

"Uh," he hesitated, "but didn't I just delete all the photos?"

"Well, at best we're even now," Lee Ji-eun smiled.

Li Ran opened her mouth, realizing that although the logic seemed, might, or probably was a bit off, she really couldn't refute it.

She continued flipping through the photos with her head down.

Li Ran's photo album is mostly filled with strange and unusual things.

A pigeon was standing on a trash can, its neck stretched out very long.

Note: "Like a boss inspecting work."

The instant noodles were noticeably lumpy after being soaked.

Note: "Like My Life".

Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but laugh more as she watched.

Li Ran pursed her lips.

Fortunately, I opened a different system.

Li Ran's phone can create clones.

He usually uses two systems alternately.

It's not that he had any secrets on his phone; it's just that he wanted to try out the feature when he saw it, and he didn't turn it off afterwards.

He vaguely remembered that he used a different system when he took pictures of Choi Jin-ri.

Ok?

Why does my approach seem so awful?

No, I am clearly a good, pure-hearted man, a true pure lover, not just someone who "purely likes dating" or "purely likes having sex."

"Hey, who would write a life reflection on a bowl of instant noodles?" Lee Ji-eun said, pointing to the photo of the instant noodles.

He retorted, "What's wrong with instant noodles? Instant noodles are also an important part of my life."

Lee Ji-eun continued to scroll down.

"Pfft~"

She almost choked.

The photo shows an orange cat sleeping on its back with its tongue sticking out.

Note: "The Face of Not Having to Go to Work".

She turned to look at Li Ran, "You really enjoy taking ugly photos of this cat?"

Li Ran shrugged, looking completely innocent. "That's how it's always looked!"

"And that cat is really annoying, you have no idea how arrogant it usually is."

You've turned a kitten into a member of the mafia.

"That's it!"

He added, "It's a local bully; it's not afraid of anyone."

Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow. "By the way, are you usually bored when you're alone?"

He blinked. "Why would you ask that?"

"Who in their right mind would create a special note for every single photo?"

Li Ran pursed her lips and said, "If you say so, then so be it."

Lee Ji-eun looked at him quietly, then suddenly held up her phone and pointed it at him.

"Click~"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment.

Why are you taking pictures of me?

"To record life!" she mimicked his tone, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Deleted!"

"don't want!"

She looked down at the photos she had just taken.

In the picture, he looks bewildered, his hair is messy, and his short-sleeved shirt is wrinkled.

He looked a bit disheveled, and also kind of funny.

Lee Ji-eun captioned the photo: "Pabu".

Li Ran glanced at it, then her eyes widened. "Hey! Li Zhi'en!"

Pab means "idiot" in Korean.

"Hahaha~"

"Delete it!"

Li Ran reached out to grab the phone.

Lee Ji-eun reacted quickly, hiding her phone behind her back and shrinking into the corner of the sofa.

"Why should I? You were just taking pictures of me without my permission!"

"I have my reasons!"

"Me too!" she winked. "To record my life!"

"This is purely revenge!"

"Who told you to laugh at me for doing push-ups?"

Li Ran stared at her smug expression and clicked her tongue.

"Fine, you won't delete it, huh?"

"uh-huh."

"Then you'd better not fall into my hands again."

"Threatening me?" Lee Ji-eun raised her chin. "You think I'm afraid of you?"

"You can give it a try."

The two of them just stared at each other, neither of them looking away.

In the end, Lee Ji-eun couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"You seem to have no intimidating presence at all right now."

She glanced at him up and down, "especially thinking about how you flinched when your stomach was patted twice earlier."

Li Ran's eye twitched. "It's just itchy!"

"Oh~"

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, giving off an "I understand" look.

Li Ran felt that her gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous.

"By the way, are you less itchy when you're wearing clothes?"

Li Ran was slightly taken aback, and immediately became alert. "What do you want to do?"

I want to give it a try.

"Don't—"

"Snapped!"

She suddenly reached out and gently patted his side, then scratched it.

Her hands were covered by a short-sleeved shirt, so their effect didn't seem very noticeable.

But Li Ran still shrank back reflexively, and her shoulders trembled.

"Hiss~"

He dodged to the side, his expression starting to betray him.

"What are you doing?!"

Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up immediately. "You're really ticklish?"

"nonsense!"

She clearly became interested and moved closer.

"Don't come any closer!"

Li Ran immediately moved to the other end of the sofa.

"I'm warning you, leave yourself a way out, so you can meet again in the future."

"You just said I treated you like a toy." Lee Ji-eun sat cross-legged, unable to suppress a smile. "Now it seems it's not my fault."

"Your gaze is even more twisted now than before."

"nonsense."

She retorted verbally, but she had already slowly moved closer to him.

The sofa is only so big.

As Li Ran backed away, her back pressed directly against the armrest.

There was no way to retreat.

Lee Ji-eun.

"Um?

"Calm down."

"I'm pretty calm."

She even blinked innocently.

"I'm just a little bit curious."

"What are you curious about?"

Just how ticklish are you?

Li Ran was silent for two seconds, then decisively raised her hand and pulled over a cushion to block the two of them.

"armistice."

"reject."

Lee Ji-eun grabbed the edge of the pillow and tried to pry it open.

"Seriously, is it really necessary for a grown man like you to make such a fuss?"

"As for that," Li Ran said, clutching her pillow tightly, "you were already acting strangely when you were examining the red marks on my belly."

"I was making observations scientifically."

"Do you laugh while watching science videos at home?"

That's because—

Lee Ji-eun suddenly stopped halfway through her speech.

Because she noticed that the way Li Ran was holding the pillow looked strangely like she was doing it for self-defense.

She held it in for two seconds, but couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Hahaha~"

What are you laughing at?!

"You look just like a little wife cornered by a bully right now."

"Um?"

Li Ran looked at him incredulously, "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Lee Ji-eun's eyes crinkled with laughter.

She pointed at him.

"All you're missing now is saying 'Don't come any closer!'"

"Then it's my turn to say that no matter how much you scream, it won't make a difference."

""

"I already said that."

""

The air fell silent for half a second.

Lee Ji-eun burst out laughing and collapsed onto the sofa.
