Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Li Ran supported herself with one foot on the ground, glancing at the students out of the corner of her eye.

I kept getting the feeling that they were whispering to each other, and they kept glancing at them.

Choi Jin-ri seemed to notice them as well, and subconsciously touched her face.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the mask under her helmet was still intact.

"Don't you think that guy on the bike is pretty handsome?" Zhang Zhimin nudged Liu Yuanying next to her.

"Which one?" Liu Yuanying looked around and then spotted Li Ran with Cui Zhenli.

"Indeed." She nodded.

"He's even more handsome than many of the oppas on TV. Is he a celebrity?"

"I don't think so, right? If it were a celebrity, why would they ride an electric scooter so openly? They would at least wear a mask, wouldn't they?" Zhang Zhimin blinked.

"Maybe it's because it's burnt?" Liu Yuanying retorted.

"With such a handsome face, if he were really a celebrity, how obscure could he possibly be?"

"But the girl behind him, wearing sunglasses and a mask, does look a bit like a celebrity," she said quietly, glancing at Choi Jin-ri behind Lee Ran.

"Really?" Zhang Zhimin carefully examined Cui Zhenli, who was sitting behind Li Ran.

"Hey! Hey! Stop looking! They're turning around to look at us!" Liu Yuanying quickly nudged Zhang Zhimin next to her, her gaze hastily shifting elsewhere.

I felt a sense of guilt, like I'd done something wrong.

Upon hearing Liu Yuanying's words, Zhang Zhimin quickly looked away and covered her face with her hand. "Oh my god, Tai She is dead. I hope they don't find out."

She turned her back to Li Ran and the others, and approached Liu Yuanying. "But, don't you think that girl looks a bit like Shirley?"

"Shirley?" Liu Yuanying's eyes widened slightly, and she secretly glanced back.

"How did you know you were wearing sunglasses and a mask?"

"But it does look somewhat similar!"

The two women exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement, and quietly approached Li Ran and the others.

Li Ran gripped the handlebars, seemingly noticing their approach out of the corner of her eye.

He pursed his lips, a little worried that Choi Jin-ri would be recognized.

He suddenly turned to Choi Jin-ri and said, "Hey! Lee Ji-an!"

"If I find out you're putting random stuff on your face again, you're in for a world of trouble!"

"Such a young age and already doing bad things! Playing with makeup! Now your face is injured, are you regretting it?!"

Hearing Li Ran's words, Cui Zhenli was somewhat surprised and blinked.

She caught a glimpse of Liu Yuanying and his companion approaching out of the corner of her eye and nodded knowingly.

She quickly lowered her head, pretending to be scolded by her parents and not daring to talk back.

"What?!" Zhang Zhimin and the other person stopped in their tracks.

"Oh, so your face was injured! No wonder you were wearing a mask."

"I really thought she was a celebrity!" Liu Yuanying pouted.

"And he's such an old-fashioned person. What era are we living in that he doesn't allow people to wear makeup?" Zhang Zhimin added from the side.

"I initially thought he was quite handsome and had a good impression of him. I didn't expect him to be so old-fashioned."

"He's simply a god."

"Hey!" Liu Yuanying came closer. "Uncle, is that how you talk about your sister?"

Uncle?

Li Ran subconsciously touched her face.

You shaved yourself!

He's clearly in the prime of his life, only in his early twenties, how come he's already an old man?

Choi Jin-ri, who was behind her, suppressed a laugh and quickly lowered her head.

"Your own sister got her face injured because of cosmetics, shouldn't you be looking for problems with the seller and the product?"

"How can you keep blaming the family members who are the victims?" she said, her tone tinged with anger.

Zhang Zhimin also moved closer to Liu Yuanying.

As her best friend, Zhang Zhimin would definitely support Liu Yuanying unconditionally!

Liu Yuanying continued to glare angrily at Li Ran.

She initially liked Li Ran based on his appearance, but because of his behavior, her impression of him changed from "national oppa" to "greasy uncle on the street".

"Uh..." Li Ran was somewhat speechless.

He originally thought that as long as he could divert their attention and prevent them from focusing on Choi Jin-ri's true identity, it would be fine.

How did it end up backfiring on me?

Choi Jin-ri, who was standing next to him, tried to explain, but he stopped her by raising his hand.

You mustn't make a sound!

Wouldn't it be easier to be recognized if he made a sound? Then wouldn't he have been scolded for nothing?

He looked at Liu Yuanying beside him, "This student has a strong sense of justice!"

"That's good. That's good. What you said makes a lot of sense," he said dryly.

The main problem was that he really didn't know how to answer.

He had just established himself as a grumpy older brother, but before he could even get really "grumpy," the two of them forcibly undermined him.

He caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that the traffic light had finally turned green!

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her body.

"I'm leaving now, classmate! Thank you for your guidance!"

With that, Li Ran quickly turned the handle and rushed out.

Liu Yuanying, who had stopped in place, nodded. "He knows he's wrong, so he's not beyond redemption. It's just that he seems cowardly. He has no manliness at all."

"We definitely can't find boyfriends like him in the future!"

Zhang Zhimin nodded in agreement.

Li Ran rode her electric bike further and further away from their sight.

"Hahahahaha!"

Once Li Ran had driven away from the crowd, Cui Zhenli laughed wildly.

Li Ran's lips twitched. "Stop laughing."

"What's so funny!" He was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Uncle~" she drawled.

He rolled his eyes. "I'm only like this because of you, okay?"

"If it weren't for you, why would I have put on this show?"

Upon hearing this, Choi Jin-ri nodded, "Then you've really had a hard time, Uncle!"

"If you keep calling me that, I'll throw you out. You can walk back to the guesthouse yourself later." He wrinkled his nose slightly.

"Hehe." She chuckled softly.

"Looks like you actually have some acting talent! I almost didn't catch what you said just now!"

"By the way, who is Li Zhi'an? Why did you call me Li Zhi'an right away?" she blinked and asked curiously.

"How would I know? I just made up a name off the top of my head."

"The name could be male or female. Who knows what he looks like?" Li Ran casually replied as she slowly pulled her electric scooter to the side of the road.

"Is that so?" Choi Jin-ri tilted her head slightly.

"That name sounds familiar." She thought for a moment, "It seems to be a character that Ji-eun played before."

"You wouldn't happen to be a fan of IU, would you?"

"You pretended not to know Ji-eun before, just to use me to create an opportunity to meet her?"

Li Ran rolled her eyes. "You should go write a novel. Your imagination is that rich!"

"I really didn't know Lee Ji-eun before."

"As for Li Zhi'an, that's a name I just made up on the spot."
