Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

In a convenience store.

Chen Ran put down his phone and turned to look at Park Jiyeon, only to find that the girl was looking at him with a strange gaze, which seemed to carry a hint of displeasure.

"What's wrong?" he asked, puzzled.

Park Jiyeon pouted: "Oppa, the way you talked to Eunjung unnie just now sounded a bit like my dad."

Chen Ran was slightly taken aback: "Really?"

"Yes, she said I'm very sensible and didn't cause you any trouble. She even reminded Eun-jung unnie to prepare ginger tea for me. Isn't that treating me like a child?"

As she spoke, the girl suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

"Looking at it this way, oppa, you and Eunjung unnie are quite a good match. One looks like your mom, and the other looks like your dad."

Chen Ran was both amused and exasperated, and lightly tapped Park Jiyeon on the head.

"What are you saying? You really think I'm your father?"

"Hmm..."

Park Jiyeon covered her head, glanced at this oppa, and muttered somewhat unconvinced, "I think I'm right. You and Eunjung unnie are indeed a good match. You're both very caring."

Chen Ran was too lazy to argue with her about this issue.

Including Park Jiyeon, this is the second time today that he has been unwittingly paired up with someone else.

The first time was when his teacher, Kim Eun-sook, mistakenly thought he had feelings for Jung Soo-jung.

To this, he could only say, "Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not worthy."

Why does everyone think he's a good match for anyone?

We already have two at home, so we have to make sure we have four to make a mahjong table, right?

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

"oh..."

Park Jiyeon got up with Chen Ran and walked out of the convenience store one after the other.

"Oppa," the girl suddenly spoke again.

"Huh?" "I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult."

Chen Ran turned to look at her and chuckled, "An adult who goes out without their phone and wallet?"

Park Jiyeon blushed slightly upon hearing this, and said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "Oh dear, oppa, tonight was just an accident. I'm not usually this reckless."

"Okay, sure." Chen Ran stood on the small shelf in front of the cashier.

Park Jiyeon, who was standing next to her, pouted.

This oppa's tone just now was so perfunctory; it was obvious he didn't believe me.

The girl was secretly annoyed when, in the next second, a box of mints suddenly appeared in front of her.

She blinked her eyes in confusion and looked up at Chen Ran.

"For me?"

Chen Ran nodded: "Mm."

"Oppa, why did you suddenly buy me candy?"

Chen Ran's lips suddenly curled into a slight smile. "Ji-yeon, you don't want Eun-jung and the others to smell your beef bento when you get back, do you?"

Park Jiyeon's long, narrow eyes widened suddenly.

She understood!

She reached out and took the mint from Chen Ran's hand, then grinned at him.

"Hehe~ Oppa, you're so good at this~"

This oppa is so thoughtful! He even knows to clean up the traces afterward.

Chen Ran smiled but didn't say anything.

He can't very well say that this is experience he's gained through trial and error over this period of time.

After all, sometimes he would kiss Kim Tae-yeon one ten minutes ago, and then have to kiss Jessica the next ten minutes later.

In such situations, resetting the taste in your mouth becomes extremely important.

Peppermints are now one of his daily essentials.

That's called respect. "Let's go."

"Okay~"

As I stepped out of the convenience store, it was still raining.

Chen Ran handed the newly bought umbrella to Park Ji-yeon.

"The place where I parked is a bit far from here; I have to walk there."

"Okay~"

Park Jiyeon took the umbrella, opened it, walked to Chen Ran's left, and walked forward side by side with him.

But the next second, her wrist was grabbed by a warm, large hand and gently pulled to the right.

"You go inside."

"Oh... okay."

Suddenly being led to the inside, Park Jiyeon was a little confused and subconsciously responded.

Please remember the only website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

The girl was brought back to her senses by the sound of a car horn and turned to look at the cars driving by on the road.

The wheels rolled over puddles on the road, splashing water that wets the curb before quickly receding.

Park Jiyeon glanced at the watermark less than a meter from Chen Ran's footsteps, her eyes flickered, then fell on Chen Ran's profile, before finally looking down at the box of mints in her hand, her lips slightly pursed.

This oppa is so incredibly thoughtful.

"Ji-yeon." Chen Ran's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Um?"

Park Jiyeon looked up blankly, meeting Chen Ran's gaze as he turned to look at her.

"Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

Upon hearing this, Park Jiyeon's heart skipped a beat.

He realized he was being watched?!

"No...no, I just suddenly thought you were so tall, oppa, hehe~" The girl unconsciously tightened her grip on the umbrella handle, and her cheeks under the mask suddenly felt a little hot.

"Oh," Chen Ran replied.

Seeing that his expression was normal, Park Jiyeon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I had a quick wit and came up with this excuse.

The beef bento I ate tonight should have just offset the brain cells I used up.

This oppa is really something, how can he just ask a girl why she looks at him?

She was so thoughtful just now, but now she seems to know nothing at all.

Luckily, I was quick-witted enough.

Park Jiyeon steadied her heartbeat and was about to continue walking forward.

"Wait a minute," Chen Ran suddenly called out to her again.

"W-what's wrong, oppa?" The girl's heart tightened again involuntarily.

"Your shoelace is untied." Park Jiyeon looked down and saw that the shoelace on her right shoe had come undone at some point.

"oh..."

She tilted the umbrella handle back slightly against her shoulder and squatted down.

Chen Ran's gaze unconsciously followed her movement downwards, and a patch of fair skin came into view.

Chen Ran quickly looked away.

cough...

That touch of black stood out too much against the fair skin.

Do not look at what is improper.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept by, making the umbrella on Park Jiyeon's shoulder rustle.

As Park Jiyeon was about to tie her shoelaces, she was pulled to the side and her body fell backward uncontrollably.

"what!"

The next second, a hand suddenly grabbed her right hand. "Bang!"

The two umbrellas collided with a dull thud, and the raindrops that had accumulated on the umbrellas splashed out instantly, landing in spots on the two people.

A soft yet substantial touch came from my forehead.

Immediately afterwards, a pleasant scent of agarwood wafted into my nostrils.

"Are you alright?"

As the familiar, warm voice rang in her ears, Park Jiyeon subconsciously tilted her head slightly.

A pair of bright, deep eyes came into her view.

Raindrops fell at the corners of the eyes, and the warm yellow light from the streetlights shone through the gap between the two umbrellas, landing on them and shimmering.

Park Jiyeon's eyes trembled slightly in sync with hers, and her heart skipped a beat.

Her gaze refocused on the face in front of her, and for some reason, the girl suddenly found it inexplicably handsome.

He's not handsome in the conventional sense.

She already knew Chen Ran was handsome. But the handsomeness she felt now was a strange kind of handsomeness that made her heart race.

"Having a child with this oppa doesn't seem like a bad idea," Park Jiyeon suddenly thought to herself.

"The child's name will be..."

"Ji-yeon?"

"Um?"

The sound that rang in her ears again brought the girl back to her senses.

"Are you alright?" Chen Ran asked again.

Park Jiyeon blinked, and the next second, her cheeks quickly warmed up.

Why is she thinking about having a baby with this oppa again?

"Oh...I'm fine."

Park Jiyeon quickly distanced herself from Chen Ran and squatted down again to tie her shoelaces, her long, narrow eyes wandering aimlessly, unable to find a place to settle.

"Okay, thank you oppa." Park Jiyeon tied her shoelaces, took a deep breath, stood up, and reached for her umbrella, trying to appear calm.

"Let's go, the car is parked up ahead."

"Okay."

Park Jiyeon took the umbrella, and after Chen Ran had walked a couple of steps away, she raised her hand and patted her forehead in annoyance.

What was I thinking just now?

What do you mean by having a baby?

Confused after being hit?

Can't you be normal for once? Park Jiyeon!

After silently cursing herself a few times, Park Jiyeon quickly caught up with Chen Ran.

She walked silently a few steps beside Chen Ran, then glanced at his profile before quickly looking away. Her fair face under the mask flushed red again, much to her dismay.

Why is that feeling that makes her heart race still there?

The rain was still falling, and cars drove by, splashing through puddles, leaving trails of water that continued to wet the curb before receding. Everything was the same as before, yet everything seemed different.

A moment later, the two got into Chen Ran's car parked by the roadside.

"Ji-yeon, please enter your dorm address."

"Okay."

Park Jiyeon entered her dormitory address into the navigation app, then quickly sat up straight again, fastened her seatbelt, and gave off a very formal and proper impression.

She had just smelled that pleasant sandalwood scent on Chen Ran again.

It's a bit addictive.

Chen Ran glanced at the address and started the car.

The neon lights along the street flashed by in the hazy rain. Park Jiyeon withdrew her gaze, glanced furtively at Chen Ran driving, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Oppa, you smell nice. What perfume are you wearing?"

Chen Ran was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? I'm not wearing any perfume."

"Didn't you wear perfume?" "Oh, it sounds like my own perfume. I must have been mistaken, hehe~"

After offering an excuse, Park Jiyeon turned to look out the car window, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

If you're not wearing perfume, what scent do you smell?

It clearly exists.

Nearly fifteen minutes later, the car drove into the underground parking garage of a residential complex.

"Oppa, just turn right ahead and stop next to the first elevator."

"it is good."

The car turns right.

Park Jiyeon glanced at the elevator entrance, her eyes widening suddenly.

At the elevator entrance, Ham Eun-jung, Lee Qri, and three others stood in neat rows, all looking over with the same curiosity.

Chen Ran also noticed the situation over there and smiled:

"Looks like Jiyeon, you're the group's darling." "Hehe..."

Park Jiyeon laughed awkwardly twice upon hearing this.

She had a feeling that these unnies were just there to pick her up.

My main purpose was to visit Chen Ran.

Ugh, I should have known better than to tell Eun-jung unnie that I was almost there.

At the elevator entrance, Ham Eun-jung glanced at the four people beside her, her expression also showing some helplessness.

I should have known better than to say that Jiyeon would be back soon.

Now, the five of them are standing here, making it look like the bride's family is welcoming their son-in-law back for the first time.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of the five people.

Park Jiyeon unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, as did Chen Ran.

It would be impolite not to get out of the car and say hello when someone is standing right next to you.

Seeing Chen Ran get out of the car and smile and nod at them, Li Juli and the other three women's eyes lit up slightly. This man was indeed handsome, even more so than in the photos they had seen online.

"Unnie".

Park Jiyeon walked toward Ham Eunjung.

"Are you alright, Jiyeon?"

Ham Eun-jung looked Park Ji-yeon up and down with concern.

My hair, trouser legs, and shoes were a little wet, but the rest of my body was fine.

"I'm fine, unnie. Luckily, I ran into oppa, hehe~"

"You're always so reckless."

Ham Eun-jung playfully tapped Park Ji-yeon's forehead, then looked at Chen Ran beside her.

"Thank you for your help tonight, Chen Ran."

Chen Ran smiled and replied, "It's nothing, no trouble at all."

After saying hello, he prepared to leave. At that moment, Li Juli, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke up:

"Chen Ran, what's this on your clothes?"

Chen Ran looked down in the direction she was pointing and was stunned.

There was an irregular lipstick mark on the upper part of his white t-shirt, which appeared out of nowhere.

Park Jiyeon blinked as she looked at the lipstick mark, her face instantly burning.

Ham Eun-jung, who was standing next to her, noticed her unusual behavior and was also taken aback.

A thought suddenly popped into my head:

My own cabbage has been stolen?!
