Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Lee Ran had to admit that Choi Jin-ri was indeed quite attractive.

He swallowed hard.

"Ding-dong~"

Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?

Choi Jin-ri's news brought him back to reality.

To avoid seeing her smug expression, Li Ran continued to be stubborn.

[I suddenly remembered I hadn't fed Xiao Hei yet, so I went to feed him, that's all.]

Anyway, she can't see it, so whether she feeds him or not is up to her to decide!

Choi Jin-ri glanced at the last sentence, "That's all," and smiled.

Li Ran's behavior gave off a feeling of trying too hard to hide something.

Besides, isn't that Xiao Hei's back view while eating in the corner of the photo he just posted?

Did you "suddenly" remember again?

Choi Jin-ri's lips curled up slightly.

"Woof!"

Little Blackie, who was not far away, happened to look up and glance at it.

"Nobody called you. Just eat in peace." He waved his hand gently.

Little Black seemed to understand, and lowered its head to continue eating.

[By the way, I've recommended your guesthouse to a few friends. We should have bookings in the next few days.]

Choi Jin-ri did not choose to expose him, but instead changed the subject.

Li Ran blinked.

New orders?

"Ding-dong~"

As if on cue, Li Ran received a notification from the homestay booking platform.

He clicked in and took a look, then raised an eyebrow.

[Is it just your friend staying here alone? I saw in the information that only one room was booked. What about an assistant and bodyguard?]

[Isn't it unsafe for someone to come alone?]

He added another sentence.

[It's alright. I trust your character. Besides, I also came here alone to stay, didn't I?]

Choi Jin-ri replied.

Li Ran scratched her eyebrows. "The problem is, when you made the reservation, I didn't know you were a celebrity!"

Although he recognized her later, they got to know each other well after a few more days, and naturally, he wasn't so reserved anymore.

[Ji-eun was coming to Jeju Island to film "GG". It just so happened to be near our guesthouse, so I recommended it to her.]

That's right, the owner of this new order is Lee Ji-eun, who visited the guesthouse a few days ago.

Li Ran's impression of her was a bit vague; she only remembered that she was a petite girl with a slightly chubby face.

He searched for her photos online, hoping to make a better impression.

Don't turn around and not recognize me, that would be a disaster.

But it's definitely not that bad.

His memory isn't that bad.

Li Ran glanced at the check-in time.

"Wow, checking in tomorrow?" He checked the time again.

[Is this booking time so tight? Coming tomorrow and only booking today?]

He asked it casually.

[hey-hey.]

Choi Jin-ri posted an awkward emoji.

[When I recommended the guesthouse to her, I casually mentioned its current booking status. So she knew that I was the only one who had booked those three rooms.]

Li Ran's lips twitched. What had he done to deserve this bad business?

If you ignore me today, you'll be begging for my attention tomorrow!

A cringeworthy, adolescent thought ignited within him.

"Boom!"

A sudden clap of thunder outside the window startled Li Ran.

He glanced outside; the dark sky was illuminated by flashes of lightning.

It looks like it's going to rain.

Li Ran remembered that there were still two shirts on the clothes rack on the balcony that hadn't been taken in.

He got up and walked to the balcony.

Xiao Hei raised its head and glanced at him, then buried its head back into the bowl after a while.

The wind already carried a hint of dampness.

The hem of the shirt bulged slightly, and an indescribable grassy smell wafted in from outside.

Li Ran took off her clothes and casually draped them over her arm.

After tidying up his clothes, he ran back into the yard.

He pushed the two wooden chairs in the yard under the eaves.

I forgot to bring it in when it rained last time, and the chair backs are a bit damp.

You can't let them get rained on for too long, otherwise they might end up getting moldy and growing mushrooms.

Feeling that she had tidied up enough, Li Ran glanced around and prepared to go back inside.

"Ding-dong~"

Choi Jin-ri sent another message.

[By the way, Ji-eun has a very good temper, so you don't need to be too nervous.]

Li Ran raised an eyebrow, lowered her head, and replied with a single word.

[OK.]

After a while, seemingly feeling that his reply was too brief, he added another sentence.

[Why should I be nervous?]

Choi Jin-ri replied quickly.

[Did you delete several words before sending that "okay" message?]

[Stop looking down on me. Do you really think I'm some kind of kid? Socially awkward and afraid to face adults?]

He pursed his lips.

[Alright, I'll stop here for now. It's raining here. I'm going to go pack my things.]

Li Ran put away her phone.

As he passed by the computer, he suddenly remembered that he had only edited the book title and pen name, and had not officially published it yet!

"I knew I'd forgotten something," he muttered.

Li Ran moved the mouse and clicked "Publish".

With this, Lord of Mysteries of this world was officially released.

The rain started in the middle of the night.

Li Ran vaguely heard a "crackling" sound.

It was raining quite heavily.

When Li Ran got out of bed, the rain still hadn't stopped.

He carried Xiao Hei and Blin's food bowls to the hallway and then filled them with cat and dog food.

As soon as she got up, Li Ran felt her throat was a little dry, so she went to pour herself a glass of warm water.

He glanced out the window; rainwater streamed down the eaves, creating a row of shallow craters on the ground.

Li Ran finished drinking the water and put the cup back.

He was going to check on the three guest rooms.

After all, the new guests will be arriving soon.

Lee Ji-eun booked the room next to Choi Jin-ri's.

Li Ran went in and took a look, then closed the window tightly and piled new disposable towels on the bathroom shelf.

Around 2 PM, the rain lessened a bit, but it still hadn't stopped.

I wonder when this rain will stop.

Li Ran flipped through the Korean book for a while, but couldn't learn anything.

He turned the book upside down on the table, then went to the kitchen and cut two lemon slices to wake himself up.

He popped a lemon slice into his mouth, and the juice burst out.

He took a picture of himself with his phone.

He used the rough, yellow peel of the lemon as armor for his teeth.

He grinned at the camera and posed for a photo.

Blackie and Bulin lined up and lay by the door, staring blankly at the rain in the yard.

Nearly half an hour later, Li Ran heard some noise outside.

He spat the skin from his mouth into the trash can.

His mouth felt a little sore, so he moved it slightly.

He walked to the door and looked outside. In the rain, he saw a figure walking towards him from not far away, dragging a suitcase in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other.

The umbrella was a bit small, and my shoulder still got wet.

Li Ran took two steps forward and pushed the door open completely.

"Lee Ji-eun?"

She blinked and brushed a stray hair from her forehead.

"Yes. Thank you for your help."

Li Ran took the suitcase from her and pushed it inside.

Xiao Hei had somehow gotten close to the door and was peeking out.

Lee Ji-eun followed him inside.

After placing the suitcase in the corner, Li Ran went to pour her a cup of hot water.

By the time he brought it over, Lee Ji-eun had already taken off her coat and draped it over her lap.

She sat on the sofa, head down, gently rubbing her ankles, probably because her shoes had gotten wet from stepping in puddles on the road.

Noticing someone approaching, she looked up, took the cup, and thanked them.

"Kansamida".
