Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Choi Jin-ri took a sip of juice, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Is it just that the glasses frame suits me?"

"So what do you want me to say?" Li Ran blinked.

He gently stroked his chin, scrutinizing Choi Jin-ri.

Choi Jin-ri felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and waved her hand in front of him.

He slightly pulled his hand away, then said, "I think the beautiful Choi Jin-ri is truly stunning, possessing unparalleled beauty, a face that could topple kingdoms, a natural beauty, an absolute beauty, and a heavenly grace..."

He finished speaking in one breath and then took a deep breath.

After listening to his exaggerated words, Choi Jin-ri blinked and then gave him the middle finger.

"Look at you! You were just complaining that my praise was superficial, but now that I'm praising you seriously, you're giving me the middle finger."

"This is utterly absurd!" He shook his head.

Choi Jin-ri tightened the cap on the juice bottle, then gently patted his arm with the bottle. "You talk too much."

"Besides, you were rambling on and on, and it was obvious you weren't being very sincere!" she said irritably.

"You're not me, how do you know I'm not sincere?" Li Ran tilted her head and looked at her.

"Then you're not me either, how do you know I don't know or don't know..." Choi Jin-ri was somewhat speechless, seemingly confused.

"Haha, you're playing the 'How can you know the joy of fish if you're not a fish?' game with me now?" Li Ran laughed.

She was somewhat indignant that she had been confused by a foreigner.

"What fish or whatever." Choi Jin-ri waved her hand. "Anyway, I didn't think the look in your eyes when you said that was very sincere."

"Why are you bringing up that 'eye look' thing again?" Li Ran was both amused and exasperated.

His eyes darted around, and he leaned closer, staring intently at Choi Jin-ri. "Now, look at my eyes and see if they're truly sincere."

Choi Jin-ri turned her head to look at him.

Li Ran's face was right in front of me.

His eyes were big and bright.

He just stared straight at her like that.

She could even see her own face in his eyes.

After making eye contact for three seconds, Choi Jin-ri deliberately looked away.

"Why are you still hiding? Aren't you going to keep looking at my eyes to see if they're sincere?" Li Ran raised an eyebrow.

Hearing this, she rolled her eyes. "Fine, you can be sincere, right?"

"What do you mean by 'even if'? I've always been very sincere!"

"Tch." Choi Jin-ri curled her lip.

Li Ran smiled slightly and took a sip of juice.

It was the bottle I brought with me.

"By the way, you've been staying at the guesthouse for about ten days now, haven't you?"

"What's wrong?" Choi Jin-ri looked at him with some confusion.

"The cherry blossoms on Jeju Island will be in bloom in a few days. Why don't you go see them?"

Jeju Island is the first place on the peninsula to see cherry blossoms bloom, about two weeks earlier than Seoul.

Late March is just the time when the cherry blossoms on Jeju Island are about to make their dazzling debut.

Choi Jin-ri's eyes lit up, but soon they dimmed again.

"How do I get there? The cherry blossoms are beautiful, but there are also a lot of people drawn to them!"

"What if we get recognized?"

"I didn't even get to see much of the sea, let alone venture into the crowds to see the cherry blossoms," she pouted.

"Uh, so you've been staying in the guesthouse all day long, are you sure you're really here for tourism?" Li Ran blinked.

"Did you plan to stay in the guesthouse for a month when you made the reservation? What was the point of coming to Jeju Island then?"

Choi Jin-ri pursed her lips.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" she asked Li Ran.

"What? You want to persuade me to terminate the lease?"

"How could that be!" Li Ran immediately shook her head.

Choi Jin-ri gently rested her chin on one hand, "Of course I want to see the cherry blossoms and take some photos where no one will bother me."

"But as soon as I go out, I'm afraid of being recognized, being photographed, and having my name written about inappropriately..."

Her voice grew softer and softer.

"Who says you have to go to crowded tourist spots to see cherry blossoms?" Li Ran raised an eyebrow.

Choi Jin-ri suddenly looked up, her eyes brightening slightly. "You have a way?"

"Jeju Island is so big, cherry blossoms don't only bloom in parks." He shrugged.

"I know a small path where there are few people, dense trees, and early blooming flowers. There are only a few houses along the entire path, and even tourists rarely go there."

He paused, deliberately drawing out the words, "It's just... the road is a bit out of the way, you'll have to ride an electric scooter. If someone's afraid of falling, then forget it."

"Who's afraid!"

Choi Jin-ri immediately replied, "I'm just raising a reasonable question about your technique."

"Are you going or not?" Li Ran tilted her head and looked at her.

"Go! Why not go?" She nodded.

"Then your new sunglasses will come in handy." He pointed to the dark brown sunglasses on the table. "In a few days, let's set off when there are the fewest people around."

"You're in charge of wearing your hat, sunglasses, and mask. I'll be in charge of riding the bike, leading the way, and blocking your view."

"Why a few days? Can't it be tomorrow morning?" Choi Jin-ri blinked.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush." ​​Li Ran used a tired old joke.

"There are still a few days until the peak cherry blossom season in Jeju Island! Why are you going so early?"

"Okay." She bit her lower lip and nodded.

Li Ran glanced at Brin in Cui Zhenli's arms, then at Xiao Hei beside her.

"Let them try the cat and dog food I bought today."

"Let's see if it suits their tastes."

She looked down at Brin, who was quietly curled up in her arms, and nodded.

Li Ran stood up and brought over the bags of snacks.

Little Black seemed to have smelled something, sticking out its tongue and following closely behind him.

Li Ran glanced down at it, rummaged through the bag and took out the dog chew she had just bought, unpacked it and tossed it to the dog.

Little Black immediately picked it up and ran to the corner of the wall, where it lay down and began to gnaw on it.

The beige dog chew is made of cowhide pressed into the shape of a bone.

Li Ran specially bought these edible dog chews. This way, Xiao Hei can play with toys and eat at the same time.

Choi Jin-ri took a can out of the bag.

She pinched the pull tab on the can with her fingertips, but couldn't open it after two tries.

She looked at her fingernails, and just as she was about to reach into her pocket for her keys, the can of food in her hand was gently snatched away.

Li Ran gripped the pull ring with her fingertips, lifted it gently, and it opened with a "pop".

He handed her the can.

Choi Jin-ri took it and scooped two spoonfuls of the minced meat from the can into a dish.

She lightly touched her fingertip, and Brin immediately leaned over and licked her fingertip with her soft tongue.

She couldn't help but smile, and gently scratched Brin's chin with her fingertips. "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Li Ran watched them quietly from the side.

The light in the courtyard gradually dimmed.

The sea breeze was blowing, bringing a touch of coolness.

After licking the last bit of meat paste out of the jar, Brin started licking his paws.
