Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 111 Preparations before going to Seoul

After finishing their meal, the two went about their own business.

Lee Ji-eun needs her manager to help her book a ticket to Seoul for tomorrow.

Li Ran needs to write some text and make an appointment to apply for the "Animal Quarantine Certificate" and the "Small Animal Vaccination Certificate".

These were all prerequisites for him to have Xiao Hei and Bulin accompany him on the plane to Seoul.

He only found out how complicated it was after searching online.

He had initially thought the two might have a chance to meet on the plane, but now it seems unlikely.

Li Ran sat in front of the computer and glanced at her writing progress.

I've only typed a little over two hundred words, that's so slow!

"Gurgle~"

"Um?"

Li Ran frowned slightly and touched her abdomen with her right hand.

He felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Perhaps it was because of the cold weather in the rain, or perhaps it was because of something I ate that upset my stomach.

Anyway, he went straight to the toilet before he could find out what went wrong.

In order not to waste time and affect tomorrow's update, he had to sit on the toilet and open the writer's assistant on his phone.

This is destined to be a flavorful writing experience.

"Ding-dong~"

Li Ran clutched her stomach as she saw the message pop-up.

It was a message from Choi Jin-ri.

[Is Brin behaving well today?]

Li Ran looked at the message and felt inexplicably familiar with it.

She seemed to use this sentence to start conversations with Li Ran most of the time.

He's seen it several times already.

This is similar to the "Are you there?" message that some people often send.

The difference is that Li Ran was quite willing to reply to her, as for certain people—

It's better not to talk about these sad things.

Li Ran typed:

[It's quite well-behaved. At least it didn't beat up Little Black today.]

He moved his legs, which were a little numb, and adjusted his position while sitting on the toilet.

[You're making it sound like Brin is a mob boss.]

[In terms of temperament, they're pretty much the same. Maybe it has nicknames you don't know about? Like "Sad Biao" or something. It might even have a bunch of lackeys on the side.]

Choi Jin-ri sent a laughing emoji.

[Your imagination is running wild! Does that mean Little Black has become its underling now?]

"Gurgle~"

His stomach churned again.

"Hiss~"

He clutched his stomach, his other hand continuing to type on his phone: [Xiao Hei has become quite familiar with it now; the two of them are inseparable.]

[Is it true or not?]

[Would I lie to you? They both sleep huddled together in one nest now.]

A while later, Li Ran saw that she had sent a voice message.

"I knew it! Our Brin has a great personality! She can make friends anywhere."

Her tone carried a hint of pride, like that of a doting mother.

Li Ran didn't know what she was so proud of; he felt that Xiao Hei was more like someone who had been beaten into submission.

"Will you be my friend?"

"Snapped!"

"Will you be my friend?"

"Snapped!"

The image inexplicably flashed through his mind, and he instantly felt much more at ease.

Brin is quite good at persuading people with physics.

Li Ran glanced at the voice message, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to reply to her by typing.

After all, he can't send voice messages right now; if he accidentally makes any sound, he'll be in big trouble.

[You really have a strong bias towards Brin.]

After sending the message, he switched to check the writing progress on his writer's assistant.

It's still just over two hundred words.

He sighed. Why did it feel like he was never going to finish writing this chapter today?

"Ding-dong~"

Choi Jin-ri replied quickly.

Of course. You'd naturally see your own child through a filter.

It was followed by a self-righteous little emoji with hands on hips.

Li Ran looked down at the screen and raised an eyebrow.

Oh right, even if your pet destroys things, sheds fur (which Brin doesn't need to worry about), or does parkour in the middle of the night, it's still a good pet.

Tsk, what a spoiled child!

He shook his head and sent a photo directly.

In the photo, Brin occupies the largest soft nest, while Blackie can only curl up in a noticeably smaller spot next to him.

But Little Black didn't have much of a temper and slept soundly.

Choi Jin-ri sent a string of curly braces.

[Okay, I admit Brin is a bit domineering.]

[Tsk, it's more than just a little! I'm afraid one day it'll be riding right over my head.]

[It's not that exaggerated.]

Li Ran shook her head.

He stared at the screen, hesitated for a moment, and then typed:

[By the way, I'm taking Xiao Hei and Brin to get their documents done tomorrow, and we'll probably go to Seoul the day after tomorrow or the day after that. You'd better show them some good hospitality then!]

[Really?]

She seemed very happy.

Don't worry! I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly!

Li Ran raised an eyebrow when she saw the phrase "arranged perfectly".

For some reason, he felt that the sentence sounded a bit dangerous.

Are you sure?

Choi Jin-ri replied almost instantly.

[Wow! Do you think I have such bad credibility?]

It was followed by a pouty little emoji.

Li Ran couldn't help but smile.

[I'll take you to eat Korean beef then.]

She sent another message.

He subconsciously touched his chin.

Korean beef?

He admitted that he was somewhat tempted.

But soon, he remembered a more practical problem—his wallet.

[Let me make it clear first, my budget is limited. I can't afford anything too expensive.]

[Who said you were paying? It's definitely my treat!]

Her words exuded a sweet, wealthy woman's charm.

[You've taken care of Brin for me, so I definitely have to treat you to a meal! Consider it a thank you gift.]

Seemingly worried that he might feel burdened, Choi Jin-ri added another sentence.

Li Ran blinked.

I'm a little tempted.

But he always felt bad about getting a free meal.

"At least let me treat you to a meal. It's only fair!"

[Sure. You can buy me coffee then.]

Choi Jin-ri sent a laughing emoji.

"Gurgle~"

The smile on Li Ran's face froze for a moment.

Damn it, I almost forgot, I'm still suffering in the toilet right now.

He looked down at his legs and felt that they were so numb they almost didn't belong to him anymore.

He then glanced at the writer's assistant.

Word count: 289.

Li Ran fell silent.

I spent so long in the toilet and only managed to type a few dozen words.

This efficiency is embarrassing for online novel authors.

Just then, Choi Jin-ri sent another message.

[By the way, what time are you going to get your certificate tomorrow?]

[I don't know, I should go sooner rather than later. I read online that the procedures are quite complicated.]

""

Are you okay on your own?

Li Ran was slightly taken aback when she saw those words.

He typed with his head down: "It should be fine, right? It's just getting a certificate."

Two seconds later, she sent a message:

[That's good.]

[However, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me.]

[After all, I knew a little about it from when Brin flew before.]

Li Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

Okay, I'll ask you for help if I really get stuck.

No problem~
