Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

How about Chapter 98?

Li Ran has never been a diligent child.

Back in his school days, every weekend he would wait until the very last hour of the last day to send four large characters to his classmates on QQ:

Emergency!

Once his classmate sent him the answers, he wrote them down furiously.

However, at this moment, there was no classmate he could ask for help in an emergency.

Li Ran sat in front of the computer, her fingers on the keyboard, her body somewhat stiff.

As for why?

Li Ran glanced at Li Zhi'en, who kept glancing at him from time to time, and his face turned bitter.

"Keep writing, what are you daydreaming about?" Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow and put down her phone.

"I'm writing it now, I'm writing it now."

Li Ran turned her neck, and her cervical spine made a slight cracking sound.

He always felt that Lee Ji-eun would be more suitable to be standing next to him with a whip.

She pouted, "I've been watching you for ages, are you even capable? Typing is like you're constipated."

Faced with the doubts, Li Ran looked at her and said, "That's not true. Compared to writing, I have more regular bowel movements."

"Ugh," Lee Ji-eun waved her hand in front of her nose as if she'd caught a whiff of something, "You're so lame! When are you going to finish the second chapter?"

He stretched, then stood up. "I'm hungry. Want some snacks?"

She rolled her eyes. "Why are you always daydreaming?"

After saying that, she added, "I want chocolate."

"Tsk."

Li Ran walked over carrying a large bag of snacks.

"Take whatever you want to eat."

He placed the snacks on the coffee table, then took out a bag of potato chips and tore it open.

Lee Ji-eun rummaged through a pile of snacks, then her eyes lit up, "There's even mint-flavored chocolate?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ran glanced at the package and said, "Oh, they must have been bought together at the time. I didn't notice. I remember buying several flavors back then."

Do you like mint chocolate?

"Yes, it's delicious!" she nodded.

"Tsk," he smacked his lips, "I tried it once, it felt like eating toothpaste."

Lee Ji-eun wrinkled her nose and glared at him. "That's because you have no taste."

"Um?"

Li Ran laughed.

"It's just toothpaste flavor, why are you making such a big deal out of it? You'll know better when you actually eat a toothpaste with an exceptionally strong flavor."

"Impossible! Absolutely not!" She shook her head quickly. "I have a deep love for mint chocolate!"

Li Ran pouted, "Then why don't you eat whatever you want with that chocolate?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow. "I actually did try dipping a banana in chocolate."

"Hiss~" Li Ran gasped, her features scrunching up.

He couldn't imagine what this bizarre dish would taste like.

"What's with that expression?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

He shook his head. "No matter how eloquently you describe it, it doesn't change the fact that it tastes like toothpaste."

"ah!"

Lee Ji-eun was somewhat displeased.

She tore open the chocolate wrapper and took a big bite.

"Click-clack~"

She chewed it, deliberately showing an expression of enjoyment on her face, and then shook the chocolate in her hand.

"Someone's out of luck."

Li Ran glanced down at the bright green filling, pursed her lips, and said, "It looks more and more like toothpaste."

"Aish!"

Lee Ji-eun grabbed a nearby cushion and threw it at him.

Li Ran caught it with ease.

"Are you not even allowed to speak the truth?"

Lee Ji-eun gave a soft snort and turned her head to the side.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyes darted around.

The next second, she held the chocolate to Li Ran's lips.

"Come on, I'll give you another chance, give it a try."

Li Ran leaned back slightly. "Isn't that unnecessary?"

"Give it a try." She squinted her eyes. "If you finish eating, I can make you write two thousand fewer words."

Li Ran has already updated the website with 4,000 words today, meeting the full attendance requirement.

The text he just typed was part of the content that the sponsor paid for early access to, so Lee Ji-eun, as the sponsor, naturally has the right to decide the progress of this content.

Looking at the teeth marks on the chocolate, he raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

Lee Ji-eun then realized what was happening, and somewhat flusteredly broke off a piece of the part she hadn't bitten off, then handed it to Lee Ran.

"Eat this."

He sighed and resignedly opened his mouth.

Lee Ji-eun held the chocolate, looked at his open mouth, and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she made up her mind and stuffed the chocolate into his mouth.

"How does it taste? Delicious, right?"

Lee Ji-eun stared intently at him, temporarily ignoring the slight dampness on her fingertips.

Li Ran chewed, feeling a sweet taste first in her mouth, followed by a cool sensation.

Sweetness and coolness clashed together, but in the end, coolness prevailed.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Lee Ji-eun asked again.

Li Ran swallowed the chocolate in her mouth, then looked at her, "It still tastes like toothpaste."

"Ugh! Shiba." She crossed her arms and leaned against the sofa.

Seeing Lee Ji-eun's sullen expression, he smiled.

"I already told you, I've eaten it before. Otherwise, how would I know it tastes like toothpaste? The taste hasn't changed, so what difference would it make if I ate it again?"

"Ahem, you can't go back on your word for the promised two thousand words!" he added.

Lee Ji-eun ignored him, her lips pouting so much they looked like they could hang a bottle on them.

Li Ran wasn't in a hurry and casually picked up the bag of potato chips that she hadn't finished eating earlier.

"Click-clack~"

Lee Ji-eun glanced at him sideways.

"What's wrong? You think I'm making too much noise eating potato chips? Then I won't eat them." He pretended to be clueless.

Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes.

She took a deep breath and decided not to argue with him.

She pulled out a bag of shrimp chips from the pile of snacks.

After tearing open the packaging, Lee Ji-eun took a big bite, biting very hard, as if she were biting someone.

Li Ran looked at her like this and suppressed a laugh.

Why is she acting like a three-year-old?

Li Ran went to get two bottles of drinks and handed one to her.

Lee Ji-eun took the drink, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

The cloying sweetness from eating too much chocolate earlier has been significantly reduced.

She glanced out the window.

The rain is still falling, and it seems to be getting heavier.

"Normally, there are more heavy rains in the summer, right? It's not the season yet, is it?" she muttered casually.

Li Ran followed her gaze and glanced out the window.

"Who knows? The weather is unpredictable, and weather forecasts can't predict it accurately."

"Could there be an unseen force manipulating all of this?"

Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes. "Have you been reading too many novels? 'The Invisible Hand'?"
