Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

"Um, that..."

"Do I need to say anything then?"

Seemingly realizing that her headphones weren't working properly, Choi Ji-soo watched as the boy took them off and turned back to ask her this question, smiling at him.

"What are you saying?" she asked deliberately.

"Of course..." Shen Yu wanted to speak, but a third voice interrupted.

"If she responds to that, you can..." Gemini seemed to want to offer Shen Yu some advice.

"Hey! Exit!" Shen Yu closed the app from the background.

"Haha..." Looking at Choi Ji-soo's face, Shen Yu used a smile to cover up his 'some embarrassment'.

"Um, do I need to say anything more?"

"Mmm." Choi Jisoo nodded with a smile.

"Hello?"

"Hello, hello." Choi Jisoo quickly picked up the conversation.

"Your coffee must be pretty good."

"Pfft..." The girl reached out to cover her face. Although her face was small, her crescent-shaped smiling eyes could not be completely hidden.

"Yes, yes, it tastes pretty good," she said with a smile.

The ferry shook slightly before coming to a steady stop.

The ferry ride from Jeju Island's port to Udo Island takes only about 15 minutes.

This conversation, which started halfway through, seems to be coming to an end very soon.

"Is this for recording a vlog?" Choi Ji-soo asked, looking at the Pocket 3 that Shen Yu had placed on the table.

This trip involved no agent, no family, and I didn't even tell many people. I just mentioned that I planned to go somewhere less crowded to relax.

However, based on what she had just observed about Shen Yu's eyes, Choi Ji-soo understood that the other party probably did not recognize her.

So she didn't feel any pressure about her status, and with the interesting "flirting" during the ferry ride, she actually developed a liking for the guy who was dressed like a college student.

"Ah, it's an assignment." Shen Yu waved the Pocket 3 in his hand. "I'm studying photography. I plan to record some things during this trip to Udo Island and then edit them into a short film when I get back."

"Oh." Choi Ji-soo did not reveal her identity.

"After this, it should be considered a behind-the-scenes segment of my short film, something like a bonus scene at the end."

"Um."

"Um."

Both of them were embarrassed in their own way: Shen Yu was embarrassed by the attempt to strike up a conversation, while Cui Zhixiu was embarrassed by having to hold back her laughter.

Fortunately, the ferry came to a stop, and the few tourists on board stood up and lined up to disembark.

Seeing Choi Ji-soo stand up first, Shen Yu also slung his backpack over his shoulder, quickly stood up, and made room for her.

Shen Yu had his own little tricks up his sleeve, but he didn't expect to expose them so quickly.

And, he really didn't know this girl with the stage name Lia, simply because his experience in this world was ambiguous to him.

If he had to say something about himself, Shen Yu would only say, "I'm incredibly lucky."

Just as his first online TV series, which he invested in after returning to China, was about to premiere, he was suddenly transported to another world.

Shen Yu, the owner of an MCN company, is only in his thirties, but his life can truly be described as legendary.

Originally, when he was about to graduate from university, he filmed some funny short videos, intending to enter the short video industry.

Unfortunately, they all disappeared without a trace, generating no traffic whatsoever.

He wrote some songs, worked as an extra and a corpse in Hengdian, worked as a Taobao model and was even contacted by a rich woman. Later, he tried to debut as an independent musician, but unfortunately, without exception, he failed every time.

Then one day, he stumbled upon the live streaming boom.

At that time, Shen Yu gave up on creating entertaining videos and started outdoor live streaming, focusing on the theme of "dating and making friends + emotional interaction"...

In layman's terms, it means—picking up beautiful women on the street.

This transformation allowed Shen Yu to leverage his good fortune to grow his online presence rapidly. He then started an MCN company, and his business began to expand into various fields.

Later, he started to get involved with film and television companies in the entertainment industry and jointly invested in an online TV series.

Just when the TV series was successfully filmed, edited, reviewed, and its premiere date was set, he hit the jackpot once again.

In a physical sense.

Without saying a word, Shen Yu quickly caught up with the group.

The main problem was that if he didn't leave soon, the pretty girl he had tried to chat up would disappear from his sight.

*

He hadn’t noticed it while sitting next to her, but now, looking at the girl walking in front of him, Shen Yu actually felt a sense of frailty and tenacious growth coexisting in her.

With slender limbs and straight shoulders, she has the look of someone who would be a model.

She's probably 160cm+ tall? With her petite frame, she has a light and delicate feel, like a ballet dancer.

Most importantly, it's her posture; her straight back and walking manner are different from those of ordinary girls.

Shen Yu followed, passing several passengers, and walked up to Cui Zhixiu, who was taking pictures of the port with her mobile phone.

"Are you here for tourism?"

He asked a pointless question.

"Huh?" Choi Jisoo wanted to laugh but also wanted to feign surprise.

"Haha." Shen Yu's expression was slightly embarrassed.

However, while awkwardness often occurs when striking up a conversation, the main theme must not be disrupted.

"Oh? It's you again. What? Did Gemini send you to follow me?" At this moment, the girl took off her ill-fitting mask. She had already noticed Shen Yu following her. In fact, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, she found it very interesting.

"No, I followed along on my own... It wasn't the AI ​​that made me follow. Can't I come here? I was also planning to take some pictures of the harbor."

"Really?" Choi Jisoo, who was holding an iced Americano, put her phone back in her pocket.

"Yes." Shen Yu nodded.

Then I watched as Choi Ji-soo couldn't help but turn around and quickly walked towards the exit.

Shen Yu followed quickly after him.

"Hey, why are you still following me?"

"No, there's only one road." Shen Yu said helplessly.

Then, he ran ahead of her at a faster speed than Choi Ji-soo.

Then turn around.

"Alright, now it's your turn to follow me. Hey? Why are you following me?!"

Choi Ji-soo was both annoyed and amused, but she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"No, it's not about who walks faster or who follows whom!"

The two people raced past several tourists.

Once outside the harbor, the two couldn't help but slow down.

While Udo Island may not look very big, it's actually quite difficult to walk around on foot; you'll need to take a bus or rent a car most of the time.

Seeing that Shen Yu was still holding the camera, and that the camera was even filming her most of the time, Choi Ji-soo couldn't help but ask a question.

"Are you planning to film other people's videos for your vlog?" She covered her face with her hand.

Choi Ji-soo's fingers are long, beautiful, and slender, and most importantly, her nails are clean and free of nail polish.

"You don't need to cover your face. Your face is very small and looks great on camera." Shen Yu mainly adopted a "you say your thing, I say mine" approach.

"I'm not wearing makeup right now, so I don't look good on camera."

"It's okay, I'm good at taking pictures of people."
