Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 132 Who to save first?

Li Ran placed the dishes on the dining table.

"Please sit down, there are only two dishes left."

Choi Jin-ri glanced at him, pursed her lips, and said, "Fine."

She stood up on one leg again and then jumped toward the dining table.

"Stop! Never mind, I'll just put the dishes on the coffee table."

He stopped Choi Jin-ri from taking any further action and then picked up the dishes again.

"It's just a sprained ankle, are you treating me like I'm disabled?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Oh dear, let's avoid trouble if we can! Besides, it's not like we've never eaten at the coffee table before."

"Alright, you can stay here for now. If you're really hungry, you can eat by yourself."

Choi Jin-ri wrinkled her nose, speaking as if she were a three-year-old.

She naturally didn't touch her chopsticks.

They're still cooking; we should wait for them to arrive before we talk to them.

So when Li Ran brought over the tofu soup and pork belly, he saw her standing there with her arms crossed, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

Choi Jin-ri snapped out of her daze and glanced at him.

"Just thinking nonsense. We can't even leave now, so why can't I think?"

"If you're not afraid of the pain, then keep going." He scoffed. "You're ungrateful for my kindness."

"Okay, I know you're doing this for my own good," she said with a smile.

Hearing Choi Jin-ri's drawn-out tone, Lee Ran raised an eyebrow.

He served two bowls of rice, placing one in front of her and the other in front of himself.

Then he unplugged the rice cooker and moved the whole rice cooker aside.

This makes it easier to serve the rice.

"Eat."

Choi Jin-ri picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Hmm, the taste seems a little different from before?

She blinked and looked up at Li Ran.

He felt somewhat guilty.

"Cough cough, eat up! I already told you you could eat first. I haven't seen you touch your chopsticks."

She pouted. "I didn't see you serve rice either. I just ate the vegetables. It seems you didn't really want me to eat."

Li Ran was slightly taken aback, then slapped her forehead. "Oh! I forgot."

"Can't you tell me?"

Choi Jin-ri shrugged and picked up another piece of pork belly with her chopsticks.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her attention had been diverted.

Li Ran also picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mixed it with rice.

The rice was a little firm, but not too firm, which was about the type he preferred.

Too hard and it's dry; too soft and it's greasy.

After thoroughly mixing the rice and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he took a bite and chewed.

It's alright, not as blurry as I imagined.

It might be a little overcooked, but the taste is still okay.

"By the way, how's that painting from before?"

Li Ran picked up another piece of stir-fried vegetables and then tried to start a conversation.

"It's still early. I haven't figured out exactly how to draw it yet." Her eyes were a little unfocused as she pursed her lips and said.

To this day, she has never brought it up on her own initiative.

He's already drawn both Brin and Blackie, so he can't be worse than a dog or a cat, right?

"So, how much have you completed so far?"

"Oh dear, art can't be rushed! It requires inspiration."

"Tsk."

Li Ran didn't say anything more.

Procrastination is procrastination, laziness is laziness, why say you need inspiration?

"Oh, by the way, try those cans of drinks I bought today."

He stood up and walked toward his backpack.

A moment later, he came over with two small red soda cans in his hand.

"Here you go." He handed one of the cans of beverage to Choi Jin-ri.

"Tomatoes again."

Looking at the label on the can that said "tomato juice," Choi Jin-ri sighed.

"I haven't really tried it before. I usually just drink orange juice, but since I saw it today, I bought it."

"Pfft~"

Li Ran opened the can, picked it up, and took a sip.

"How does it taste?"

She held the soda can in her hand, staring at his expression.

She wouldn't suffer if it didn't taste good!

"It's alright," he smacked his lips. "It tastes like watered-down ketchup."

"Then I won't drink it."

Choi Jin-ri shook her head and pushed the can towards him.

"The taste is actually not bad. You can try it," he added.

"Forget it, I'm not like you, so deeply in love with tomatoes."

She pursed her lips, then her eyes darted around.

"Say, if your girlfriend and a bag of tomatoes both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

"ah!"

Li Ran rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I'd save people first! Besides, where would I get a girlfriend?"

She blinked. "I thought you were going to say your girlfriend can swim, so you decided to save Tomato first."

He laughed in exasperation.

"My love for tomatoes isn't that strong. Besides, I don't have a girlfriend, how would I know if she can swim?"

"Who knows?"

She shrugged.

"What on earth is going on in your head to come up with a question like that?"

"Usually, girlfriends ask their boyfriends who they would save first if they and their mothers fell into the water, right? How come it's turned into a tomato-like question in your case?"

"That's none of your business."

She tilted her head slightly and gently tapped the chopsticks with her index finger.

"cut."

"Waaaaah~"

Li Ran glanced down and saw that Xiao Hei was twisting its body and walking over to the coffee table.

"Didn't I put out some dog food for you? Why are you still coming over to freeload?" he said irritably.

He had just finished filling Brin's and Blackie's food bowls when it suddenly appeared.

"Maybe they've already finished eating?"

Choi Jinri glanced towards the food bowl and saw that Brin was still eating cat food with her head down.

wrong!

She squinted; the color of the rice bowl seemed a bit off.

Brin's food bowl is pure white, but the one it's eating from now is purple.

"Brin stole Blackie's dog food again," she said helplessly.

Li Ran glanced at it and found that it was indeed the case.

He shook his head. "Why bother? I don't see much food in Brin's bowl!"

"Is it true that other people's food always tastes the best?"

"Brin! Come here!"

Choi Jin-ri gently called to it.

Brin looked up when he heard the sound, then slowly walked over.

"Meow~"

It gently rubbed against her calf.

"Hey you! Why are you stealing Xiao Hei's dog food again? It's not like I didn't give you any!"

Brin licked its paws, it was unclear whether it had understood or not.

"Perhaps it's like its master?" Li Ran suddenly interjected.

Choi Jin-ri rolled her eyes. "When did I ever steal your food?"

"I didn't say that."

"I'm talking about their relationship. Brin is more dominant. Our little black guy is more submissive. They're just like us."

o

"fart."

She pouted. "I'm not a domineering person! Have I ever forced you?"

Li Ran smiled. "Haven't you always been the one in control between us? It's pretty much the same thing!"
