Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

"Shall I help you with this luggage?"

The girl was carrying a backpack and luggage, which looked quite heavy.

Shen Yu reached out to try to help.

"Ah? No need, no need, I can do it!" Zheng Yaxuan raised her hand and made a powerful gesture.

However, using a Samsung Galaxy S22U while dragging a suitcase can be a challenge for women, especially considering the size of their hands.

"Let me help you with that." Shen Yu took the suitcase from her hands.

"OK, thanks."

She held her phone in both hands and began researching taxi-related issues.

"where are you going?"

"I'll go back to the company and then go to my dorm."

The straightforward girl, without much thought, asked, "And you? Where are you going?"

"Company? Are you at work?"

"No, no, it's... um, trainee, do you know about this?"

"Trainee? I know, I know, you're an idol! Wow."

Shen Yu felt that his surprise was exaggerated.

But the girl opposite seemed too naive and didn't realize that Shen Yu's reaction was excessive.

"Oh, not yet, don't be surprised, I'm just a trainee."

Zheng Yaxuan waved her hand, feeling a little proud inside.

"My company is in Mapo-gu. Mapo? You know it?"

"Oh, oh, oh! Mapo District."

Where are you going?

"Yes, I'm also going to Mapo District."

"Oh?"

Zheng Yaxuan felt something was strange, but the older brother-like person in front of her didn't seem like a bad person.

Moreover, she is always ready to help others!

"Didn't you say you were going to school? Aren't you going? Or is the school in Mapo?"

"Ah, school? Haha, I'll skip it today. Monday is perfect for going back."

When the topic of school came up, Zheng Yaxuan stuck out her tongue awkwardly, which was quite adorable.

"Anyway, oh, there's a queue, looks like we'll be able to get a taxi!"

"Can I share a ride with you?"

Shen Yu revealed his purpose.

"Carpooling?" Zheng Yaxuan looked at Shen Yu's left hand. "By the way, is that a camera?"

"That's right, Pocket3."

"What are you recording?"

"This one?"

Shen Yu pointed around, "You can take this to shops or hotels, and the attitude and service of many people will change."

"Huh! Is that so!"

Zheng Yaxuan was surprised for a moment, then thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

Wow, you're so smart.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"So I always carry this with me."

Shen Yu turned the camera to Zheng Yaxuan. "So, can we carpool?"

Zheng Yaxuan glanced at Shen Yu, who didn't have much luggage, and asked, "Mapo District is quite large. Where are you going?"

"It's that area along the river, right? I remember there's a riverside there?"

"Well, we're about the same then, okay? Hey! Do you know Day 6?"

"Day 6?"

"Haha, it's a band. You might not know it, but you look a lot like one of the guys in it named Park Sung-jin."

"Oh, is that guy handsome?"

"He's a very handsome guy, but you're just as handsome. Handsome guys are all a bit alike, aren't they?"

"Do you like him a lot?"

"Yeah, I used to listen to Day6's songs a lot when I was little, I really liked them!"

"When you were little?"

"Huh? Haha, it's not that small."

"It's okay." Shen Yu nodded. "Now that you're all grown up, can you like me like this?"

"Huh?"

Some of the boy's direct and joking remarks made Zheng Yaxuan feel that he was a bit strange, and also gave her a feeling she had never experienced before.

The feeling of being approached.

The slightly wary girl looked at Shen Yu with a strange expression.

"Just kidding, it's just a joke."

However, it looked like there would be a long queue for the cars, so Shen Yu dragged his luggage to a bench for resting.

Zheng Yaxuan followed.

Are there any fun places to visit along the Han River in Mapo-gu?

"There's Hangang Park over there. Oh, and there's also Seonyudo Park under Yanghwa Bridge. Speaking of the Han River, you have to mention ramen, and there are also Hanok cafes. I heard their afternoon tea cakes are delicious. Ah, it's autumn now, so they should have persimmon shaved ice or something. There are also open-air barbecue restaurants along the Han River nearby, and um, grilled pork belly too..."

My divergent thoughts started with the park and then moved on to food, and I couldn't go back to that topic.

It wasn't until she felt the camera recording Shen Yu made that Zheng Yaxuan remembered who she was, where she was, and what she was doing.

"..."

"Hmm? Why did you stop talking?"

"Hey, anyway, there's a lot of delicious food, but there are also places worth visiting. If you go, you can explore more."

Have you been there?

"Huh? I've never been there." Jung Ya-hsuan had intentionally looked into a lot of good restaurants near YG Entertainment, but before she could start planning, her busy practice and school life filled her entire life.

"Is it because you've been eating so little that you haven't gone yet?"

"No, I can eat a lot!"

Shen Yu looked Zheng Yaxuan up and down.

It looks a bit thin

As if she had been underestimated, the girl straightened her back and raised her head, then realized that she was indeed very frail.

"..."

"She may look average in height, but she has a big appetite."

The voice sounded a bit like rambling.

"Oh, so you want to go?"

"..."

Zheng Yaxuan's nose, hidden behind her mask, seemed to smell the aroma of barbecue.

"Actually... I really want to go."

"Yeah, after you told me, I'd really like to go too."

Shen Yu gave a slightly awkward smile and looked at Zheng Yaxuan.

"How about we change our destination?"

"..."

Zheng Yaxuan began to consider the possibilities.

She took a break from her vacation and went home during the holiday. She just got back today.

I didn't have any plans for today.

At most, he would meet up with his best friend Canny and the two of them to secretly go out for a meal.

But what about now?

"So you don't want to go?"

"Of course I want to go. In this weather, who wouldn't want to have an open-air barbecue by the Han River?"

Shen Yu thought that if it were Choi Ji-soo, the two of them would probably choose a restaurant in Gangnam.

If it were Park So-hyun, she would suggest going to a nearby open-air theater performance first, and then the two of them could sit by the Han River, drinking coffee and listening to music.

Yeah, who wouldn't want to go?

It seems only Zheng Yaxuan wants to go.

However, Shen Yu would soon find out who wanted to go.

"So you're not free right now? Do you have class this afternoon?"

"No, today is the last day of the holiday, there aren't many classes today, and I don't have anything else to do, so I can go..."

Zheng Yaxuan realized she had just exposed herself after she finished speaking.

He glanced at Shen Yu, and perhaps because he didn't look like a bad guy, he just blurted it out.

"Um, I didn't ask you about the specific arrangements, I just asked if you have any classes."

Shen Yu smiled innocently, "Perfect timing, I don't have class this afternoon either."

"Are you a student too?"

No, that's not it.

"Ha, so what classes do you have?" Zheng Yaxuan puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be angry.

"Oh, right." Shen Yu nodded in sudden realization, "So I'm free now and this afternoon."

"Uncle, you're not a bad person, are you?"

"Uncle?"

"So what do you want to hear? Let me call you Oppa?"

"..." Shen Yu blinked. "What's 'Oppa'?"

"..."

"Brother, what does brother mean?"

"Okay, little sister."

"..."

Zheng Yaxuan was fuming again.

Without makeup, her kitten-like eyes were like a tickle to Shen Yu.
