Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 116 Spicy Stir-fried Rice Cake Flavored Milk Tea

"Burp~"

Li Ran leaned back on the sofa and touched her stomach.

Choi Jin-ri tilted her head and glanced at him. "You're full already? I remember you had quite a big appetite, didn't you?"

"It's alright. About 70% full."

"Would you like me to order milk tea?"

"Sure! What flavor?"

She handed the phone directly to Li Ran, saying, "Here, you choose for yourself."

Seeing that she didn't shy away from anything and didn't care about privacy, and just handed over her phone, Li Ran scratched her eyebrows and took the phone.

He looked at the food delivery app for a while, then said, "Why did you also order a spicy stir-fried rice cake flavored milk tea?"

"Does this stuff even taste good?"

"I don't know." She shook her head. "That's precisely why I ordered it—because I didn't know if it would taste good!"

"Tsk, what a bizarre taste."

After looking around for a while, Li Ran finally chose a brown sugar pearl milk tea.

Anyway, he didn't have the courage to try the above-mentioned flavors such as Shin Ramyun-flavored milk tea and spicy rice cake-flavored milk tea.

He handed the phone back to Choi Jin-ri, asking, "By the way, how long will it take for this milk tea to arrive?"

"It'll probably take about thirty or forty minutes."

"Okay." He nodded. "Then could you show me the bedroom first? I'll also unpack my luggage."

Choi Jin-ri glanced at the time; it was already past five.

"Alright."

"Come with me."

Li Ran, pulling her suitcase, followed her to the guest room on the first floor.

The walls of the room are pure white, and the floor is light-colored wood flooring.

On the other side of the bedroom is a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door, leading directly to the garden outside.

The curtains on both sides are light apricot-colored, and can be drawn up at any time if the light is a bit too bright.

Standing inside the house, Li Ran could see directly the crape myrtle trees and lawn in the garden.

The room's decor isn't particularly complicated.

Or rather, the entire style of Choi Jin-ri's villa follows this minimalist approach.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" she asked from the side.

"Sure. It looks great. I really like this decorating style."

Since she was staying at someone else's house, how could Li Ran be picky?

Besides, he does indeed prefer a minimalist style.

"That's good. You can get ready now. I'm going to feed Blin and Blackie. I bought a lot of cat and dog food yesterday."

Choi Jin-ri smiled and left the room.

Li Ran walked to the bedside and lay down directly.

He stared at the ceiling above him, somewhat lost in thought.

So I just moved in like this?

To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed about moving in like this.

After all, other people paid to stay at his guesthouse, but he didn't pay a single penny to stay here.

Also, what did he do after he arrived in Seoul?

He impulsively decided to come here without making any concrete plans.

We came to Seoul to see the sights, so we can't just stay indoors the whole time, can we?

Although travel is simply going from one place you're tired of to another place someone else is tired of.

But we can't just leave it indoors without even looking at it!

Li Ran, resting her head on her pillow, decided to search for guides online.

After looking at it for a while, he decided to pack his luggage first.

There are too many complicated guides online, and he also saw many comments saying they are "toxic" guides.

It gave him a headache.

Let's pack our things first, and talk about other things later.

The wardrobe in the room is quite large.

Li Ran only brought a few pieces of clothing, which looked rather lonely and pitiful inside.

"Are you ready? Your takeout is almost here, could you go pick it up?"

Choi Jin-ri's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay!" Li Ran replied.

He closed the wardrobe door and then walked out of the guest room.

"Are we at the door yet?"

Choi Jin-ri glanced at her phone and said, "No, there are about three minutes left."

"The main reason is that it's inconvenient for me to go out. So I thought I'd ask you to get it for me."

Li Ran asked curiously, "So how did you get your takeout?"

"Just let them leave it at the door!"

"Well, here you are!" She smiled. "If I can have my milk tea a little earlier, there's no need to wait."

"I used to wait for him to put it at the door and then pick it up about ten minutes later."

"Tsk. It's really not easy!" He shook his head.

"Ding-dong~"

She glanced at her phone. "They seem to be outside already. Why don't you go check?"

"Okay." He nodded and walked towards the door.

Li Ran took the milk tea from the deliveryman and glanced at it.

Especially the spicy stir-fried rice cake flavored milk tea.

He wanted to see just how bizarre this thing was.

Li Ran glanced at it; the bottom layer of the milk tea was still regular milk tea, while the top layer was covered with large black and white tapioca pearls, and then coated with a thick, bright red, spicy Korean sauce.

The pearls and hot sauce on top are covered with a separate plastic cup.

There's also a hole on the side so the straw can go through.

He frowned. Could this thing even taste good?

"Did you get it?"

As soon as he pushed open the door, Choi Jin-ri asked impatiently.

"Here you go." He took out his cup of milk tea and handed the whole bag to her.

"I just don't understand your strange tastes."

"9

"Oh well, I've never tried it before, so I'll just give it a try."

Choi Jin-ri took out the milk tea and then gently shook it.

When she was about to insert the straw to drink, she found that Li Ran had already drunk almost half of it.

"Why are you drinking so fast?" She blinked.

"Oh? Oh. I usually drink beverages pretty quickly."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head. "It's just that I hadn't even put the straw in yet, and you'd almost finished drinking, so I was a little surprised."

"Do you guys drink your beverages that fast?"

"Not necessarily. Everyone's habits and circumstances are different."

He said this, but still slowed down the speed at which he drank his milk tea.

"I see." Choi Jin-ri nodded, then scooped up a spoonful of spicy pearls.

She put it in her mouth, chewed it, and then took a sip of milk tea.

"How does it taste?" Li Ran asked curiously.

Since the stores have already launched this flavor, it shouldn't taste too bad, right?

Choi Jin-ri squinted at him. "You want to know?"

"I'm really curious to know what this unusual taste is like." He nodded.

She handed him the milk tea she was holding.

Li Ran was slightly taken aback.

What does that mean?

He put down the brown sugar bubble tea in his hand and then took the spicy rice cake flavored milk tea from Choi Jin-ri.

Li Ran brought the cup closer and smelled the milk tea.

It wasn't as strong as he had imagined, and it didn't sting his nose.

However, the combination of salty, sweet, spicy, and savory flavors is indeed quite novel.

He was about to return the milk tea to Choi Jin-ri.

She didn't answer, and instead looked at him with a smile.

What does she mean by that?

Li Ran was completely dumbfounded.
