Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 4 Knowing the World, Yet Not Being Worldly

Ancient Water Cave Beach.

"Awoo!"

Having gotten used to having her own image captured by Shen Yu's camera, Choi Ji-soo occasionally added a touch of playfulness.

For example, right now, two people are walking on the beach, looking at the scenery together.

"So you agree to let me take your picture?"

"What photos? I didn't give you permission."

"I'm very professional!"

"There are professional photographers taking pictures over there too. Look, some people are even bringing their cameras to do street photography."

Choi Ji-soo pointed to the vicinity.

"So street photographers can take your pictures?"

"certainly."

Then Choi Ji-soo noticed that Shim Woo was standing still, so she walked forward on her own.

If...

"Hello!"

Shen Yu's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I'm a street photographer!"

Choi Ji-soo turned her head and realized that the camera lens was almost poking her face.

"Are you filming me?" Choi Jisoo took a step back, then continued walking.

"Yes, I can..."

"Is this how it's filmed? The camera's practically poking my face!"

"Wait, don't interrupt my self-introduction!" Shen Yu waved his hand. "I haven't even started filming yet. Have you ever seen videos of street photographers? They always introduce their accounts before they start filming."

"Oh, okay then, you can continue."

"OK."

The two actors worked together seamlessly, displaying a newly formed rapport.

"Hello, what's your name?"

"My name is Jisoo."

"Can I take a picture of you? I'll post it on my social media."

"Okay, let's take pictures here."

Choi Ji-soo found a good spot near the beach, close to the Haenyeo (female diver) statue, and turned around.

Shen Yu picked up his camera and took a few pictures of the other person.

"I took photos of you, so you have to film a vlog with me now."

"ha?"

"Otherwise, why would I take your picture?"

"...Oh, this..." Choi Ji-soo was speechless.

"Give me an answer, whether it's okay or not!"

"Alright."

Shen Yu took a few more pictures, then walked over to Choi Ji-soo.

"...Emmm, is this me?"

Choi Ji-soo pointed to the person on the camera screen and said.

"Isn't it you? Isn't this you? Fine, if you think something's wrong, just say so."

Having not appeared on camera for a long time, Choi Jisoo felt somewhat unfamiliar with herself on screen, and...

"Won't you get beaten up for taking pictures?"

"Huh? What's wrong with it?"

"Her face is so round!"

"Your face is small and round, and you're blaming me for that?" Shen Yu said in an unfriendly tone.

Choi Ji-soo's expression froze, then she quickly walked away with Shen Yu's camera in her hand.

"Hey! Give me back my camera! Give me back my camera!"

"I'm not filming anymore!"

Shen Yu caught up with him, and Cui Zhixiu handed him the camera.

"No, it's all the photos' fault. They make your face look rounder in photos, but not in videos! Trust me! You look much better in motion than in still photos! Trust me!"

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

Are you angry?

"It's okay, I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with myself. Why is my face so round when I'm angry?"

I think I might have gained some weight during my vacation.

Choi Ji-soo recalled the photo from earlier and realized that her face had indeed become rounder.

"It's not your fault. The camera has feelings. I just might not be able to sleep well tonight if I keep thinking about the photos."

The two of them started walking briskly along the coastline.

It felt like I was back to race walking.

"Then buy me a coffee, and the camera will feel more emotional."

"Huh?"

Choi Ji-soo stood still, then turned to look at Shen Yu. "So that's how it is?"

"yes."

Shen Yu pointed to the coffee shop next door.

Jeju Island has no shortage of cafes, and Udo Island is no exception.

"You asked me to take your picture, shouldn't you be the one asking me?"

"Huh? Is that so?" Shen Yu seemed to suddenly realize.

Inside an industrial-style cafe next to the beach.

Two people sat facing each other on either side of a metal table.

"Hello, here is your coffee."

Although she said that Shen Yu would treat her, Choi Ji-soo still paid the bill by card after arriving.

Two lattes were placed in front of the two of them.

Choi Ji-soo lowered her head to drink her coffee, then occasionally glanced at the scenery of the beach outside the window.

the weather is nice today.

"that,"

"Um."

I think,

"Um."

"I think we lack communication!"

Realizing that his words had caught the girl's attention, Shen Yu continued speaking.

"Yes, there's a lack of communication; we need to be on the same wavelength."

"Ah..." Choi Ji-soo looked at Shen Yu and echoed.

"Yes, tell me what kind you want..."

"I want..."

*

Feiyang Island, near the lighthouse by the sea.

The scenery here is perfect for taking photos.

"How is it?"

"Okay!" Choi Ji-soo's tone rose.

"Just tell me what to do!"

"Great!"

"I suppose so!"

"Absolutely."

Shen Yu said confidently, "See, I told you I'm a professional."

Choi Ji-soo looks really beautiful on screen.

The light blonde hair color suits her very well.

The scenery was beautiful, and the people were very nice.

"Is this alright now?"

"That's right, you are indeed very professional."

"Shall we take a break?"

Taking photos is a very tiring task, especially taking photos of girls.

Shen Yu found a bench and sat down. Cui Zhixiu sat next to him, looking through his camera.

"Aren't you planning to work as a part-time model?"

"Huh?"

"Or become an internet celebrity or something. Seriously, you're very good-looking; you could make a living that way."

Shen Yu felt he was quite professional; he was able to run a large MCN in China, which showed he had a good eye for talent.

"Haha, thank you." Choi Jisoo smiled but didn't reply.

The two rested for a while before catching their bus back to Jeju Island.

We arrived on the island at noon, visited a few scenic spots to take photos, and soon it was sunset.

"Look, the sunset is beautiful."

The sunset over the sea is indeed beautiful.

"Hmm, how about standing here?"

Shen Yu noticed that Cui Zhixiu had struck a pose, seemingly intending for him to take a picture of her.

"Huh? Should I take your picture?"

"Oh yeah, aren't you my photographer?"

"When did I become your photographer...?"

Shen Yu picked up the camera from the seat and pointed the lens at a small dog passing by.

"Hey, what are you filming with your camera?"

*

The two walked along the beach towards the station for their return journey.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on their faces.

"It's so nice to take a walk in the sun."

"really."

Choi Jisoo was reflecting on this kind of life, because as an idol, when things get busy, sometimes there's simply no energy left to appreciate the scenery along the way.

"Being thoroughly exposed to the sunlight makes me feel full of energy."

"Yeah, getting a tan."

"Take back the tan!" Choi Jisoo refused.

"so……"

The two walked back to the station and started waiting for their train.

"Are we friends now?"

Shen Yu looked at the girl facing him and asked a question.

"Hmm, I guess so."

"Is that so?"
