Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 117 Indirect Kiss

What does she mean by that?

Looking at Choi Jin-ri's expectant eyes, an idea suddenly popped into Lee Ran's mind.

She doesn't mean she wants me to drink it directly, does she?

But didn't she already drink them?

Li Ran certainly wouldn't mind that this was milk tea that Cui Zhenli had drunk, but doesn't she mind at all?

He hesitated for a moment.

However, seeing the look in her eyes, Li Ran tentatively picked up the spoon next to her.

Choi Jin-ri smiled but made no further comment.

So Li Ran picked up a spoon, scooped up a mouthful of spicy sauce pearls, and stuffed them into her mouth.

"What are you doing?"

Just as he was about to chew, he heard Choi Jin-ri's voice, which sounded somewhat surprised.

broken!

He was a little flustered.

"I handed it to you so you could drink it from a spoon, why did you use my spoon directly? Did you do that on purpose?" she blinked and said.

"Uh—" He was speechless for a moment, and then he saw Choi Jin-ri take the milk tea back.

She picked up the spoon that Li Ran had just used, scooped up a mouthful of spicy pearl sauce, and naturally put it into her mouth.

Ok? !

His eyes widened.

"What's wrong?"

She chewed the pearl, as if nothing had happened.

"Uh—no."

He picked up the brown sugar bubble tea he had just put down again and took a sip.

Seeing his reaction, Choi Jin-ri's lips curled up slightly.

Li Ran stared at the milk tea in his hand for a long time, until the straw was bitten and deformed.

"Is your milk tea good?" Choi Jin-ri suddenly asked.

"Uh, it's alright."

Isn't this just the most common brown sugar bubble tea? Surely Choi Jin-ri has tried it before?

"Then I'll have a sip too, so we're even."

As she spoke, she took the milk tea from Li Ran's hand again.

Choi Jin-ri surprised him again and again today.

What's wrong with her today?

Li Ran watched helplessly as she put the slightly deformed straw she had bitten into into her mouth, her mind going completely blank.

"The taste is alright."

She smacked her lips and handed the milk tea back to him.

Li Ran took the milk tea and glanced at her.

She's currently eating spicy pearls with gusto.

Could this be considered an indirect kiss?

Twice!

However, since Choi Jin-ri didn't say anything, Lee Ran chose to remain silent.

He lowered his head and took a sip of his milk tea.

"Sizzle~"

The pearl got stuck in the straw, neither going up nor down.

He subconsciously bit the straw, which made the straw even flatter and the pearls even harder to suck up.

"Pfft~"

Laughter came from beside him.

"Why are you struggling with the straw? If you can't suck up the pearls, just eat them backwards!"

"Or are you just reluctant to part with this straw?"

"Cough cough cough." Li Ran choked.

He looked at Choi Jin-ri with annoyance.

Was I just teased? Probably? Absolutely!

She moved closer to Li Ran and reached out to pinch the flat straw.

"Oh ho~ Looks like it can't go back to the way it was before."

She rummaged through the takeout bag. "I remember there should be spare straws."

She searched for a long time but still couldn't find a spare straw.

"Tsk, this store is being stingy today, they don't even have spare straws."

Choi Jin-ri looked at him with a smile again.

Li Ran felt somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Cough cough, it's fine if you don't have one. It's not like my straw is unusable anyway."

"Besides, didn't you just say that we can just eat the pearls upside down later?"

He was about to finish his milk tea quickly when he saw Choi Jin-ri suddenly pull the thick straw off his cup of milk tea.

Here, use this.

She naturally handed me the straw, which even had a little bit of milk tea on it.

Li Ran stared at the straw, clearly taken aback.

"What?" Choi Jin-ri tilted her head. "You don't like me?"

"No!"

Li Ran denied it almost immediately.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had reacted too quickly.

Choi Jin-ri pressed her lips together, as if she was trying to suppress a laugh.

"If you don't mind, then take it!"

"I used this straw, so what will you use?"

"I can just eat it with a spoon, anyway, I can't suck it up anyway, the pearls are too big."

Li Ran hesitated for a moment, but finally took the straw.

When he bent down to change the straw, I always felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong.

Choi Jin-ri scooped up a spoonful of pearls and put it in her mouth, then looked at him and said, "Now try to see if you can suck it up."

"Yes," he tried taking a drag.

"Slurp~"

He sucked the pearl up smoothly, mixed with the milky aroma.

Li Ran chewed it, and whether it was psychological or not, he felt there was another flavor.

Perhaps it should be called peach flavor?

His gaze unconsciously shifted to Choi Jin-ri's lips.

Her lips were rosy and full, like a fresh, juicy peach.

He shook his head, trying to shake off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and also turned his gaze back to the present.

What if Choi Jin-ri sees him and thinks he's a pervert?

However, she can even swap straws, so she shouldn't be thinking like that, right?

The jumbled thoughts in his head only increased, not decreased.

Li Ran glanced down at the straw and seemed to see a lip print.

"Looks like my straw is still the best," Choi Jin-ri said with a smile as she saw him successfully suck up the pearl.

"Is there such a thing as a powerful or not-so-powerful thing about straws?"

"Of course!"

She said this in a serious tone, "Even straws have their own kind of luck and technique."

Li Ran glanced at her. "Why are you acting so strange today?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Well—" Li Ran hesitated slightly, "You seem to be in a good mood today."

Am I usually in a bad mood?

"That's not entirely true."

Except for the very beginning, she seemed to be in a good mood whenever she was with Li Ran.

Wait, that's not right either.

What am I thinking? What does "time spent with me" even mean? Am I that important?

Her mood shouldn't have anything to do with me, right? It's not like she's in a good mood because of me.

cough cough.

Li Ran wanted to say something, but Cui Zhenli had already lowered her head and continued to pick up her spicy pearls from her cup.

"Hmm."

She wrinkled her nose.

"What's wrong?"

"It's a bit spicy."

"Weren't you enjoying your meal just now?"

"It's so spicy and intoxicating!" she mumbled, scooping up a pearl and putting it in her mouth.

Choi Jin-ri wanted to take a sip of milk tea, but suddenly stopped.

Oh right, the straw is with Li Ran.

She casually removed the small cup from the lid, took a sip of milk tea, and then put the lid back on.

Li Ran seemed to notice her odd behavior and gently squeezed the straw in her hand.

He lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea. When he looked up again, he saw that Choi Jin-ri had already handed him the cup of spicy rice cake flavored milk tea.

"I can't drink anymore, could you help me finish this?"
