Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 96 Flight

"Okay, you're pretty good." He nodded perfunctorily.

"ah!"

Lee Ji-eun glared at him, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"Ahem, just kidding."

Li Ran smiled.

He turned his gaze back to the tofu soup.

The steam from the pot was slowly rising, creating bubbles.

Lee Ji-eun stood to the side and watched for a while, then sniffed, "It smells alright."

"Just okay?"

Li Ran was somewhat dissatisfied.

He stirred the pot a couple of times with a spoon, saying, "With my skills, I'm more than qualified to be a chef."

"Tsk." She raised an eyebrow.

Although Li Ran's words were somewhat narcissistic, they did seem to be true.

At least among the meals Lee Ji-eun has eaten, almost none of the dishes he cooked were bad.

Li Ran casually sprinkled some chopped green onions into the pot.

Little Blackie ran over at some point, making little noises and staring at him expectantly.

"Didn't you just finish eating?" Li Ran glanced down at it. "Why are you here again?"

"Maybe he didn't eat enough," Lee Ji-eun said, leaning against the wall.

"I've poured so much food out of the bowl it's almost overflowing. How could it still not be full?"

He pursed his lips. "I think it's just greedy."

"Why don't you learn from Brin? Look how fat you've become."

Little Black didn't take his words seriously and stayed in the kitchen, wagging its tail.

Li Ran shook her head, then glanced at the heat. "It's almost done."

"Let me carry it," Lee Ji-eun said, leaning closer.

Upon hearing this, Li Ran moved aside, "That works too."

She picked up the tofu soup with both hands and walked towards the dining table.

"Boom!"

A muffled rumble of thunder suddenly came from outside the window.

Both of them subconsciously glanced out the window.

Is it going to rain?

Lee Ji-eun frowned slightly.

The once clear sky is now covered with dark clouds.

The plants outside the yard were being blown about by the wind.

There was still a slight dampness in the air.

"The weather on West Jeju Island really does change in an instant."

Li Ran took the bowl and chopsticks and came to the dining table.

Lee Ji-eun placed the tofu soup on the table, shook her hand, and tucked the stray hairs behind her ears.

"Jeju Island is naturally rainy and windy, so it seems quite normal."

"I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, it has to rain today. I hope it won't rain too heavily. I have to catch my flight!"

"Clatter".

As soon as she finished speaking, a drop of rain hit the windowpane.

"Pat-pat ...

"Boom!"

The rain gradually intensified, occasionally interspersed with thunder.

Xiao Hei, who had been loitering near the dining table, twitched its ears after hearing the thunder and instinctively moved closer to Li Ran's legs.

"Woof~"

Little Black let out a low growl, and its tail wasn't wagging as enthusiastically as before.

Lee Ji-eun sat down and glanced at the little black dog huddled next to Lee Ran. "Is it afraid of thunder?"

Li Ran served her a bowl of rice. "When I first picked it up, it would hide under the bed whenever there was thunder."

"Then one time, in a rush, it couldn't squeeze in and in its panic, it bumped into the bed leg."

Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her morality and her sense of humor were just clashing.

Li Ran chuckled, "At that moment, its head swelled up with a bump."

"Then it's quite pitiful."

The wind and rain were quite loud outside the guesthouse, and Lee Ji-eun would glance out the window every now and then.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.

What started as just the sound of raindrops tapping on the window gradually grew into a continuous sound.

The wind picked up.

The plants outside the yard rustled in the wind, and occasionally they would be suddenly bent over by the pressure of the wind.

"This rain feels a bit excessive."

Lee Ji-eun lowered her head, ate a mouthful of rice, and then glanced out the window.

The windowpane was already blurred by the rain.

"Didn't you just say that Jeju Island is rainy and windy? That's normal." Li Ran picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into her mouth.

He glanced at his phone.

Good card.

Even the network signal weakens considerably on rainy days.

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun subconsciously wrinkled her nose, "But I have to catch a flight later."

"Don't worry." Li Ran mixed the pork belly into the rice. "Even if it rains, it might not be delayed. Even if it's delayed, it might not be canceled. Even if it's canceled—"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lee Ji-eun interrupted his "even if."

"You should still hope for me, okay? Why does it feel like things are getting worse the more you talk about it?"

"Let me put it another way," he thought for a moment, "At least it didn't suddenly start raining on the way to the airport, right?"

"I'd say it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune," she said, pursing her lips.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Her phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.

Lee Ji-eun glanced down at it.

The screen displays a short message with flight reminders.

She casually tapped the lock screen, and her previously nonchalant expression suddenly froze.

Li Ran noticed her movement. "What's wrong?"

Lee Ji-eun stared at the screen for two seconds.

"."

""

She sighed softly and put her phone back on the table.

Today's flight has been cancelled.

Upon hearing this, Li Ran caught a glimpse of her phone out of the corner of her eye.

The message stated that the flight was canceled today due to weather conditions, followed by a series of rescheduling instructions.

Because he was looking at it upside down, and it was someone else's phone, he couldn't see it very clearly.

"The flight was really canceled?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Are you a jinx?" Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes at him.

"What does the flight cancellation have to do with me? It's not like I'm stopping you from leaving. It's purely a weather issue." Li Ran shrugged.

He had originally planned to take Xiao Hei and Bulin to Seoul today to give Choi Jin-ri a surprise.

As a result, his idea fell through.

Lee Ji-eun leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.

She had originally planned to leave after finishing her meal.

She spent half the night packing her luggage with great effort, but now she can't fly.

The thunder rumbled again outside the window, but the rain showed no sign of letting up.

Li Ran glanced at her. "Do you have any important work scheduled for tomorrow?"

Lee Ji-eun gently shook her head. "There's no rush. I don't have much work tomorrow."

"The main problem is that the original plan was disrupted, so it's a bit upsetting."

"6

"So what if it's messed up?" Li Ran shrugged. "At worst, we can just come up with a new plan."

"Anyway, I feel that plans often can't keep up with changes."

"Having a plan provides a general framework for action. Acting within that framework is definitely more stable than having nothing at all," Lee Ji-eun shook her head.

This is the difference in their thinking patterns.

Li Ran is a typical P person, while Li Zhi'en is a J person.

Li Ran didn't pay any attention and continued eating her rice.

Lee Ji-eun looked down, opened the chat app, and sent a message to her manager.

[The flight has been cancelled, you don't need to come.]
