Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 110 Have a laugh

"What are you laughing at!"

Li Ran rolled her eyes. "You still haven't finished the push-ups you owe me!"

Lee Ji-eun's smile faded slightly as she looked at him. "But you've already put on your short-sleeved shirt!"

"At best, we're even."

Listening to her sophistry, Li Ran opened her mouth, but in the end, she just gave her the middle finger.

He glanced at the time and realized it was already 6:23.

The raindrops outside the window showed no signs of stopping.

"Fine, I'm not arguing with you anymore. I'm going to cook."

He stood up from the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow. "Are you about to admit defeat and confess your mistakes?"

"Admit defeat my ass!" he scoffed. "Look at the time! You might not be hungry, but I am!"

She blinked, glanced at the time, and said, "So fast?"

She really didn't feel the passage of time much.

It felt like I just bantered with Li Ran and chatted for a bit.

"It's raining outside, and the sky is overcast, so it's normal to not be able to tell the time." He stretched.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore, or I'll really be eating instant noodles tonight."

L

"Um?"

Lee Ji-eun suddenly thought of that instant noodle photo with the caption "Like My Life".

She smiled. "That's perfect! Now I can see what your 'life' is like today."

Li Ran was slightly taken aback and didn't react immediately.

Two seconds later, he rolled his eyes. "I only let you see a few photos, and you finally got a chance. Mention everything."

He picked up his phone from the sofa and put it in his pocket.

Oh, right!

Li Ran glanced back at her and said, "Hurry up and delete that handkerchief."

"So you admit you're Prabhu?"

"Isn't that the nickname you set?"

"Really?"

Lee Ji-eun blinked, looking completely innocent.

He frowned. "Anyway, if it really doesn't work, you can change the nickname. Pab is too awful."

"What do you want to change it to?" she asked with interest.

"Hmm," Li Ran rubbed her chin slightly, seemingly deep in thought about the question.

"Let's add a note saying 'handsome, dashing, healthy, and can cook!'"

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow and lowered her head to edit something.

Li Ran's eyes lit up. "You're really going to change it?"

"Yes! I do need to make changes."

He was just about to nod in satisfaction when he noticed that Lee Ji-eun had already flipped her phone screen and was pointing it at him.

Then he discovered that the caption on the photo had indeed been changed.

It's just that it changed from "Phrab" to "Phrab with a serious distorted self-perception".

"Hey! Lee Ji-eun!"

"Hehehe."

"Whatever you want." He shook his head, somewhat helpless, seemingly at a loss for what to do with Lee Ji-eun.

Li Ran walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door.

Cold air slowly wafted out of the refrigerator.

He glanced down at the contents inside.

Eggs, luncheon meat, two tomatoes, a small handful of greens, half a box of beef, and a block of tofu.

There was some leftover rice.

It's perfect for making fried rice with eggs.

He reached out and took the vegetables out one by one, then closed the refrigerator door.

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, Lee Ji-eun couldn't sit still any longer. She got off the sofa, slipped on her slippers, and slowly followed.

The rain was pattering outside, and water droplets clung to the windows, but a warm yellow light shone from the kitchen.

Li Ran stood in front of the kitchen counter, looking down as she flipped through the seasonings.

His movements were very smooth; it's probably a case of practice makes perfect.

Lee Ji-eun leaned against the door, arms crossed, "Do you need any help?"

Li Ran turned and glanced at her. "Then you can pick out some vegetables. You should know how, right?"

"What do you mean by that? You've seen me cook before! Even though it's just simple scrambled eggs with tomatoes." She pouted.

Li Ran shrugged. "I'm mainly worried that you'll throw away the edible parts too."

"ah!"

Lee Ji-eun glared at him.

Li Ran chuckled and handed over the vegetables.

"Petite," she scoffed, taking the dishes from him.

She knew Li Ran was definitely retaliating for tricking him earlier.

Lee Ji-eun lowered her head and carefully washed the vegetables.

Li Ran then stood in front of the cutting board and started chopping vegetables.

"duang, duang, duang————"

He cut the luncheon meat into evenly thick slices.

He also chopped up the tomatoes and neatly arranged the tofu next to them.

Lee Ji-eun was still picking vegetables with her head down when she heard the sound, and she subconsciously glanced at it a few times.

She noticed that Li Ran was particularly efficient when she worked.

His hands were also very fair and slender.

Lee Ji-eun felt that if she were a hand fetishist, she would have an urge to cut it off and frame it.

It's a strange metaphor, but that's really what she's thinking right now.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of hot oil sizzling came from the pot.

"Sizzle~"

The moment the eggs were poured in, a delicious aroma wafted out.

Lee Ji-eun's nose twitched slightly.

She looked up and saw Li Ran holding the pan handle with one hand, flipping the eggs a couple of times.

The light fell on his profile.

He rolled up the cuffs of his short-sleeved shirt to his shoulders, and the muscles he exposed were slightly tense from exerting force.

The person who was just now hugging a pillow in front of Lee Ji-eun for "self-defense" is a completely different person.

Lee Ji-eun suddenly remembered her earlier comment about "little wife," and looked at the person in front of her.

She felt a strange urge to laugh.

Li Ran seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at her.

"What are you laughing at again?"

"It's nothing."

She coughed and tried to put on a serious face.

"It just suddenly dawned on me that you can be surprisingly human sometimes."

Li Ran raised an eyebrow, turned to look at her, and said, "Hey! Is that a compliment or an insult?"

"It's definitely a compliment!"

"Well, thank you so much," he said expressionlessly.

"As a reward, I won't add an extra egg for you tonight."

"ah!"

Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes. "Aren't you childish?"

"That's childish." Li Ran nodded. "You're the same."

"And I hold grudges very much."

Lee Ji-eun stared at the food in the pot, remained silent for two seconds, and then suddenly leaned forward a little.

She said softly, "Then—I take back what I just said?"

Li Ran glanced at her. "Too late."

"real?"

"unless----"

"Unless what?"

He slowly said, "Delete that article, 'Pabhul, who has a seriously distorted self-perception.'"

Tsk.

This person really holds a grudge.

"I won't delete it!" Lee Ji-eun answered just as decisively.

Why?

"Because that's the truth!"

Li Ran stared at her and pursed her lips.

When it came time to eat, Lee Ji-eun's bowl was naturally not missing anything.

Whatever Li Ran had in her bowl, she had just as much.

How could he possibly add less egg to Lee Ji-eun's rice?

Picking out the eggs is too much trouble, he wouldn't waste his time!
