Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 85 Wet

Lee Ji-eun raised her eyebrows. "Wow, you're really into character. Put your hand down."

"That's called respecting teachers and valuing the way." Li Ran put down her hand and leaned back on the sofa.

"I hope you can maintain this attitude then," she said slowly.

"We'll see, we'll see," he waved his hand dismissively.

Lee Ji-eun wrinkled her nose slightly. "You've already shown your true colors in less than three minutes? What happened to respecting your teacher?"

He blinked, looking completely innocent. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Unable to bear it any longer, Lee Ji-eun gave him the middle finger.

"As a teacher, you should pay attention to your image. How could you give a student the middle finger? This will cause so much psychological harm to the child!" he protested.

"A kid in his twenties, huh?" She rolled her eyes.

"To be precise, it's a 300-month-old baby," he added.

"Aren't you ashamed?" she pouted. "No wonder you're a repressed pervert."

He turned to the side, picked up a few bags of potato chips from the coffee table, and casually tossed one to her.

Lee Ji-eun instinctively took it.

"I don't recognize that nickname! It's completely ruining my reputation." He pouted.

Li Ran tore open the potato chip bag, grabbed a handful of chips, and stuffed them into her mouth.

His hands still had bits of potato chip crumbs stuck to them.

Lee Ji-eun shook the bag of potato chips in her hand, glanced at it, and saw that it was cucumber flavored.

"Cucumber flavor?" Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong? Cucumber-flavored potato chips are delicious!" Li Ran turned to look at her.

"What does it taste like in your hand?"

"Tomato flavor, I guess." He handed her the bag of potato chips to show her.

She glanced at the tomato picture above and said, "Tsk. You really like tomatoes!"

"The guesthouse has tomatoes growing in the yard, and we often have tomato and egg stir-fry with our meals. Now, even when we eat potato chips, we specifically choose the tomato flavor."

"It was just a coincidence, you know," he said, pursing his lips. "I just happened to get tomato-flavored potato chips."

"Tsk." Lee Ji-eun pinched a potato chip and stuffed it into her mouth.

The bag of potato chips was so thin that it was gone in just a few bites.

Lee Ji-eun folded the empty bag and threw it into the trash can next to her.

She yawned and pulled out a tissue to wipe the residue off her hands.

She glanced at the time; it was a little past one in the afternoon, time for her afternoon nap.

"I'm going to sleep." Lee Ji-eun clapped her hands and stood up.

Li Ran nodded.

Before going to bed, Lee Ji-eun prepared to take a shower first.

I just finished a busy morning out, and I'm all dusty and tired. Plus, I still have some potato chip crumbs on my hands; I don't want to drop them on the bed later.

Anyway, the bedroom has a private bathroom, so it's quite convenient for Lee Ji-eun to take a shower.

Lee Ji-eun changed her clothes, took a towel, went into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.

Then nothing happened.

She glanced down and saw that the water inlet valve was fully open, but the showerhead remained completely still.

Weird.

She crouched down to inspect it and found that the water inlet pipe was connected to a stainless steel braided flexible hose, and something seemed off at the connection point.

There was a slight bulge at the rubber gasket location, as if something was stuck inside and couldn't come out.

Lee Ji-eun had a bad feeling. Just as she was about to stand up, the hose snapped open at the joint with a "pop".

The water jet hit her face directly.

She instinctively leaned back, her feet slipped, but she managed to brace herself against the bathroom wall and barely avoided falling.

The water was still spraying, gushing and splashing haphazardly, making a loud thud on the bathroom floor.

Her hair was wet and stuck to her face.

Water droplets clung to her eyelashes.

Her T-shirt and trousers clung to her body, feeling cool and damp.

Lee Ji-eun quickly took off her wet clothes and changed into dry ones.

After quickly changing, she called out towards the door, "Li Ran!"

"What's wrong?" he answered from outside.

"The water pipe burst!"

Li Ran paused for a moment, threw the potato chips in her hand onto the table, then casually pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands and walked towards her bedroom.

The bedroom door was open.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Lee Ji-eun point to the bathroom, "Here, go in and take a look."

As soon as he pushed open the door, the sound of rushing water hit him, and it was like a small water fountain inside.

A lot of water had accumulated on the ground and was flowing out through the cracks.

"No way—"

Li Ran's lips twitched.

He glanced at it and saw that the stainless steel braided hose had cracked.

The water was gushing out wildly.

Lee Ji-eun stood to the side, her hair completely wet.

"It suddenly exploded!" she said, dodging the water. "I had just turned on the tap a short while ago—"

Before he could finish speaking...

The hose suddenly swung.

The water jet sprayed directly into Li Ran's face.

Holy crap!

He instinctively turned his head, but still couldn't avoid it, and half of his clothes were instantly soaked.

Lee Ji-eun suppressed a laugh when she saw this.

It seems I'm not the only one who's having bad luck.

"You're still laughing?" Li Ran wiped her face. "Turn off the water first!"

"I don't know where the valve is. I turned it off, but nothing happened."

Li Ran looked down at the area under the sink.

Normally, the valve should be there.

However, it seems the guesthouse had been renovated before, and the space downstairs was a mess.

He had only been in charge of the guesthouse for six months, so he wasn't very familiar with the details of these guesthouses.

Okay, he's a bit incompetent.

The sound of water hitting the tiles was very loud.

The water on the ground is getting more and more plentiful.

He crouched down, just about to reach out and touch the valve.

"Sizzle~"

The water jet hit his chest with perfect accuracy.

The icy water instantly seeped into his clothes.

"Damn it."

Braving the water flow, he continued to grope around with his head down.

After a while, he finally found the valve and turned it.

It didn't move.

""

"What's wrong?" Lee Ji-eun asked, seeing that the water was still flowing.

"The valve has been idle for too long and is stuck."

"Really?" She frowned slightly.

"That's how the old house is. I'll have someone inspect all the rooms later."

Li Ran gritted her teeth and applied a little force to her hand.

"Click".

The valve finally moved, and the water flow decreased significantly.

A few seconds later, the gushing water finally stopped completely.

The bathroom became much quieter immediately.

All that remained was the sound of water dripping down their bodies.

Li Ran squatted down and breathed a sigh of relief. "Done."

"Phew~"

Lee Ji-eun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked down at the ground.

The water on the ground had already reached the edge of her slippers.

Her feet were completely wet.

Water droplets ran down the instep to her toes, then through the gaps to the soles of her feet.

"The facilities at your guesthouse aren't very good," she couldn't help but complain.

"This is an act of God," Li Ran said, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's probably because it's been too long and has aged."

"Stop making excuses." She pouted.

Li Ran stood up, his soaked T-shirt clinging to his body.

Lee Ji-eun had only glanced at it casually, but her gaze paused for a moment.

"Um?

'

She blinked.

Li Ran usually wears loose clothing and always looks lazy, so it's not really noticeable what her figure is like.

But now that his clothes are soaked, the outlines of his shoulders and waist are clearly visible.

You can even vaguely see muscle lines in his abdomen.
