Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 133: A Visit to the Set?

"Not at all!"

Choi Jin-ri rolled her eyes.

"Fine, if you say it's far from good, then it's far from good."

Li Ran picked up another piece of tofu with her chopsticks.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Choi Jin-ri pouted.

"Aren't you going to eat? The food will get cold if you don't eat soon," he reminded them.

"cut."

She picked up a piece of pork belly and gently tossed it onto the ground.

"Woof!"

Little Black immediately pounced and swallowed the pork belly whole.

Choi Jin-ri took out another tissue and wiped the ground that Xiao Hei had just licked.

"You can give it dog food later. You eat yours first."

Li Ran glanced at it and shook her head.

"That won't do. We can't let our little black dog go hungry," she said.

Li Ran pursed her lips.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Choi Jin-ri was the owner of the black dog.

"Alright. I'll pour a bowl of dog food for Xiao Hei right now."

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards Xiao Hei's food bowl.

He glanced around and noticed that Brin seemed to have taken almost a third of the dog food.

It seems like it only ate a couple of bites of the cat food in its own bowl.

He filled Xiao Hei's food bowl again with the dog food bag, and then brought both food bowls over.

"I refuse to believe that Brin would dare to steal the food right under my nose!"

Li Ran placed the rice bowl next to the coffee table, a little further away.

Brin's food bowl was located near Choi Jin-ri.

Xiao Hei's food bowl was right next to his feet.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Seeing the food bowl back in front of him, Xiao Hei wagged its tail happily.

"Is it alright? Can we eat now?"

"Inside~"

She nodded.

Brin looked up at them, gently wagged its tail, and finally came to its own food bowl to eat its cat food.

The two of them ate in silence for a while.

The dishes on the coffee table are dwindling at a visible rate.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were the first dish to be emptied.

Although the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were a little burnt this time, the taste was still okay.

Li Ran ate most of it.

The second empty plate contained stir-fried green vegetables.

As for why the pork belly was eaten so slowly?

Neither of them likes fatty meat, and with all the seasonings piled up in it, it's hard to make it like scrambled eggs with tomatoes or stir-fried vegetables.

That would result in an "empty disk".

There will always be some things left inside, more or less.

Choi Jin-ri finished the last few grains of rice in her bowl and then placed the bowl on the coffee table.

She leaned against the sofa and touched her stomach.

"belch!"

Her shoulders rose and fell with each hiccup.

"Are you choking?"

Li Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"I don't know—hiccup!"

Choi Jin-ri burped again.

He took a tissue to wipe his mouth, then handed her the can of tomato juice he had just used. "Here, drink some water to help you relax."

"belch!"

Her incessant hiccups made Li Ran laugh.

Her face felt a little hot.

"What's wrong with you? Did you eat too fast?"

Choi Jin-ri rolled her eyes at him, opened the can, and gulped down the tomato juice inside.

She wiped her mouth, about to say something—

"belch!"

She was speechless.

The tomato juice in the can was too little, only a little over 200 milliliters, which was not enough at all.

She still felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't catch her breath.

"Tsk."

Li Ran shook her head.

"Have some tofu soup to wash it off first, and I'll get you some warm water."

Choi Jin-ri watched his retreating figure and nodded.

She poured the tofu soup into the bowl that had just been filled with rice, and then drank a few mouthfuls.

Or not.

"Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!"

Her hiccups became more frequent and occurred without warning each time.

Choi Jin-ri's chest heaved upwards with each thrust, causing her shoulders to tremble as well.

"The water's here!"

Li Ran walked over carrying a large glass of warm water.

Seeing her like this, he was too embarrassed to laugh.

This is indeed quite uncomfortable.

"Take a big gulp first, then swallow it in seven small sips."

Li Ran handed her the water glass.

Choi Jin-ri took the water glass, and as he had just instructed, first swallowed a large mouthful of warm water, then sipped it in small gulps.

Swallowed.

"Phew~"

She did feel a little better as the warm water slid down her throat.

"It seems about time."

She touched her chest and then nodded.

Seeing that she was alright, Li Ran raised an eyebrow.

"Don't eat so fast next time. I know my cooking is delicious, but there's no need to rush through it, is there?"

Hearing his narcissistic statement, Choi Jin-ri rolled her eyes at him.

"You—hiccup!"

She started hiccuping again, but it was a little better than before.

"Drink some more water. Don't choke again."

Li Ran sat down next to her and gently patted her back.

Feeling the touch on her back, she froze for a moment, then pursed her lips.

She nodded, picked up her water glass, and started drinking.

"Glug~ Glug~"

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and then put the water glass back.

"It's almost time now."

"Okay."

Li Ran slowly withdrew her hand from her back, as if she was still a little reluctant.

Wait, why am I acting like a pervert?

He shook his head.

"By the way, you initially said you were going to stay in Seoul for a few days?" Choi Jin-ri suddenly asked.

Li Ran was slightly taken aback.

"What? I've only been here a few days and you already want to kick me out? Fine, I'll leave now then."

That's not what I meant!

Choi Jin-ri rolled her eyes at him.

"What I mean is, I might be visiting Ji-eun's film set in a few days. Do you want to come along and have some fun?"

"Oh? I see."

He seemed to have some recollection of it.

Lee Ji-eun appears to be filming in a movie set at some hotel.

She flew to the film set right after leaving the guesthouse.

What was the name of that show again? Was it the De Hotel? The San Dezi Hotel? Or some other hotel?

That does overlap with the nature of his guesthouse.

I just don't know what it's specifically about.

"Just tell me if you're going or not!"

She pursed her lips. "Is there something else you need to do?"

No, not at all.

Li Ran shook her head. "You know the situation with my guesthouse. It doesn't open for six months, and when it does, it feeds us for six months. Almost no one makes reservations."

"Damn it, they've turned a perfectly good guesthouse into something that looks like an antique shop."

"Okay, then you can come with me."

Choi Jin-ri nodded, extracting his meaning directly from a bunch of nonsense.

Go if you want to.

He asked hesitantly, "But how can I go with you? Isn't it inconvenient?"

After all, there were many people and eyes on the film crew, and suddenly there was a strange man between them.

Who knows how those unscrupulous media outlets will report this?

Li Ran herself was fine, but she would feel a little embarrassed if she caused trouble for the two of them.

She waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll just tell others that you're my assistant."

"assistant?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"What? Is being my assistant beneath you?"
