Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

He looked down at the seaweed soup in the bowl. The soup was fairly clear, and a few slices of beef were at the bottom.

The kelp was cut into varying lengths, but it still looked like kelp.

He lowered his head and sniffed it; it didn't seem to have any problem.

Li Ran picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful.

It was a little hot, so he blew on it twice before putting it in his mouth.

Lee Ji-eun stared at his face, her eyes unblinking.

He chewed twice, his expression remaining unchanged.

"How is it?" she asked.

Li Ran chewed again, swallowed what was in her mouth, and then nodded very seriously.

"fine."

It's edible. At least no ingredients were wasted.

"Really?"

Lee Ji-eun blinked and took a sip as well.

She smacked her lips and looked at him with some suspicion.

She took another sip.

emmmm

The taste hasn't changed much.

She clearly followed the steps.

"Have you ever had seaweed soup before?" she suddenly asked.

Li Ran shook her head. "No, this is my first time drinking it."

"I see!" She nodded. "Actually, all seaweed soups taste pretty much the same." She said somewhat guiltily.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, suppressing a laugh.

His expression didn't change much; instead, he nodded in agreement. "Indeed. After all, the materials are the same."

Lee Ji-eun slightly pursed her lips.

She wasn't stupid; she could tell that Li Ran was just giving her the runaround.

Her gaze swept around and finally settled on the reddish-brown vases.

"When was this vase placed here? I have absolutely no recollection of it."

She blinked. Had her memory deteriorated again?

She clearly remembered that these vases weren't there when she went out today.

"Oh, you mean that?" Li Ran glanced at it following her gaze. "That was sent by Zhenli this afternoon."

"The truth?" She raised an eyebrow.

Li Ran nodded. "She said she felt the living room of the guesthouse looked too empty, so she sent these three vases over."

"The vase arrived first, the flowers will arrive the next day."

"I see." She took another sip of soup.

Does sending a vase first give you a reason to send flowers?

She suddenly began to scrutinize Li Ran.

Li Ran's brow bone wasn't very high, but it was neat and tidy. Her eyebrows were natural and hadn't been groomed much, yet they were surprisingly well-formed.

They have big, bright eyes.

He has fair skin. The white clothes he's wearing suit him perfectly.

His first impression is that of a "clean-up boy" that little girls like.

Being a clean guy doesn't just mean maintaining hygiene.

This is a feeling.

To put it bluntly, it all comes down to looks.

If you look like Li Kui, no matter how hygienic you are, you won't get the title of "clean guy".

How long have you known Truth and her?

Lee Ji-eun thought for a moment, and realized that Jinri seemed to have mentioned it to her about half a month ago.

They've only known each other for half a month, but they act like friends who've known each other for years.

Lee Ji-eun was somewhat jealous.

No, I'll have to get Truth to give me a few vases later.

……

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them cleared away the bowls.

Lee Ji-eun went to wash the dishes, and Lee Ran wiped the table.

"By the way, do you usually listen to music?" she asked casually as she put the bowls into the dishwasher.

Li Ran draped the rag back over the sink and shook her head. "I don't listen to music much. I haven't opened any music apps more than a few times in the past month."

"Singing?"

"I don't listen to music, let alone sing it."

"The last song I listened to was one of your songs that Mari played."

"What's wrong?" Li Ran asked, looking at her.

Lee Ji-eun crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. "Then just sing a line. I think your voice is quite nice."

Li Ran looked at her with some suspicion. "My voice didn't suddenly change like this. Why didn't you mention it a few days ago?"

Lee Ji-eun suddenly felt a little guilty.

Okay, she's looking for trouble.

He's not as good a cook as I am, and he can't even sing well!

Of course, she couldn't say it out loud, so she just made up an excuse.

"I just suddenly remembered."

She tapped her fingers lightly on her arm and said seriously, "Think about it, someone who never listens to music has a beautiful voice, isn't that a waste?"

Li Ran looked at her for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Alright."

He cleared his throat and said something immediately.

"Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast..."

Lee Ji-eun's expression visibly froze.

"..."

That's it?

"Gone?" She looked at him in disbelief.

"No, that's all," Li Ran said earnestly.

"I want you to sing pop songs, not children's songs." Lee Ji-eun felt that he was being somewhat perfunctory.

She pouted.

"Whatever, you didn't say anything beforehand anyway. A nursery rhyme is still a song." He wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Lee Ji-eun watched his retreating figure and gritted her teeth.

She took a tissue to wipe the water off her hands and followed.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen, Xiao Hei pounced on her.

Its tail was wagging rapidly as it circled around her.

"Stop going in circles, you'll get dizzy if you keep turning around."

She crouched down and gently stroked its head.

"By the way, how many days did you book back then?"

Li Ran's voice came from not far away.

"What? You want to kick me out? I paid for this." She stood up and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" Li Ran shook her head. "I was wondering how many more days the guesthouse could stay operational."

"Once you leave, the guesthouse will be empty again."

"Why do you sound so pathetic when you say that?"

Lee Ji-eun thought for a moment, "I think I arrived on the afternoon of the 28th. There are still three or four days left."

"By the way, what is your belief that keeps you running this guesthouse? You haven't seen many guests in so many days."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a bit harsh!" Li Ran turned her head and pouted.

"It may be true, but that doesn't mean you can say it out loud!"

"Tsk." Lee Ji-eun gestured with her lips.

She walked to the coffee table, grabbed an apple, and took a bite.

"Click~"

The apple was bitten into a heart shape.

The shape is quite clever.

Lee Ji-eun took out her phone to take a picture, which she could then post on Instagram.

"You like apples?" Li Ran pulled out a handful of oranges from somewhere and started peeling them.

His fingernails were slightly yellow.

"I like it! Why wouldn't I like it?"

"It tastes pretty good, doesn't it?" She chewed. "Don't you like it?"

Li Ran shook her head. "The apple doesn't taste very good. It's a bit boring. I prefer other things."

Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes. "Are you treating fruit like a person?! How ridiculous!"

"This tastes pretty good! It's quite fragrant."

"Pure heresy." She pointed at Li Ran.

"I will accuse you on behalf of Apple."

Li Ran swallowed the orange in her hand into her mouth again and gave her the middle finger.
