Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chen Ran was stunned when he saw the other person's eyes clearly.

The figure was wearing a black mask, so his face couldn't be seen in full, but he recognized those eyes very well.

After all, in a way, he had only been living with her for a month.

Add to that her petite stature, and the white Mercedes sports car next to her with its hazard lights flashing.

Jin Ruanruan.

Jin Ruanruan never expected it to be such a coincidence.

It was the first time she had ever rear-ended someone while driving, and it turned out to be the man she had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding for some time.

"Beep beep"

The sound of a car horn brought them both back to their senses.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I bumped into your car," Jin Ruanruan apologized again.

Even though they are acquaintances, I still have to apologize.

"It's alright." Chen Ran glanced at the spot where the collision occurred.

Both his and Jin Ruanruan's cars only had minor paint damage, which was hard to notice unless you looked closely.

"It was just a slight brush, let's just leave it at that, Nuna."

"Oh? How about I just pay you back the money? It's entirely my fault."

"No need, it's just a little bit. I'll just put some car wax on it when I get back. Why should we let the directly operated stores make money for nothing?" Chen Ran said with a smile.

Jin Ruanruan glanced at the spot where the two cars had scraped each other, or more accurately, the spot where the two cars had touched, and pursed her lips.

"Well... okay then, thank you."

"It's nothing, I'll be going now?"

The street is not a place to chat.

"it is good."

In less than three minutes, the rear-end collision was resolved, and the two men turned around to get into their respective cars.

Jin Ruanruan had just grasped the car door handle when she suddenly felt dizzy and swayed slightly. Instinctively, she tightened her grip on the door handle. Chen Ran, who happened to be looking back at the traffic, noticed her unusual behavior and immediately released the door handle and walked over.

"What's wrong, Nuna? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...it's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little dizzy, it might be because of low blood sugar."

"Do you have any candy or chocolate in your car?"

"I ate the last one just now."

Jin Ruanruan's voice was a little weak, her brows were furrowed, and there seemed to be beads of sweat on her forehead.

Chen Ran frowned upon seeing this and turned to look around.

Seeing a convenience store diagonally across the street, he turned to Jin Ruanruan and said:

"Nuna, I'm going to buy you some candy. You get in the car and sit down. I'll be right back."

Jin Ruanruan nodded slightly, still feeling a bit dizzy, and no longer had the strength to speak.

Chen Ran supported her with one hand and opened the car door with the other.

Jin Ruanruan leaned closer to him uncontrollably, and instantly caught the pleasant scent of sandalwood she had smelled before. "If Chen Ran's scent were sweet, I wonder if inhaling it a few times would help relieve my low blood sugar," she suddenly thought in her slightly dizzy mind.

After helping Jin Ruanruan into the car and settling her in, Chen Ran quickly ran back to his own car and drove slowly toward the convenience store.

Fortunately, he and Jin Ruanruan's car was parked in a lane that allowed both straight and right turns, otherwise it would have been really difficult to drive through.

The car was parked on the side of the road in front of the convenience store. Chen Ran got out of the car and went into the convenience store, quickly buying a bag of fruit gummies.

He jogged back to Jin Ruanruan's car, opened the passenger door, got in, tore a small opening in the fruit gummy candy packaging, and handed it over.

"Nuna, here you go."

Jin Ruanruan reached out and took the gummy candy, took off her mask, and put a piece of gummy candy into her mouth.

After a short while, the dizziness subsided, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nuna, are you feeling better? If not, we'll go to the hospital to get checked out."

"I'm fine, I feel much better."

Jin Ruanruan looked at the fruit gummies in her hand, her eyes flickering.

He actually bought fruit gummies. But she quickly realized what he meant.

That's true. She lived with Kim Tae-yeon for a month, so it's normal for her to know that she likes fruit gummies. She's just confused.

Jin Ruanruan tightened her grip on the fruit gummies.

I wonder what else he knows besides fruit gummies. Could it be that he's already...?

Doesn't that mean he's already seen me naked?

Suddenly, some indescribable images popped into her mind, and Jin Ruanruan's cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly banished those images and looked at Chen Ran.

"Thanks."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "You're welcome, Nuna. Where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going back to my dorm."

"Oh, okay? Then I'll take you home."

"what?"

Jin Ruanruan was stunned for a moment: "You'll take me back?" Please remember the only website address for this novel: "www.deqixs.org. The website owner has only this one website, and other websites may be discontinued at any time.

"Yes, Nuna, your low blood sugar has just subsided a little, so don't drive yet. Safety first."

"Nuna, you don't want something to happen on your way back and end up trending on social media, do you?"

"..."

Jin Ruanruan frowned.

Chen Ran is right; she is indeed not in a good condition to drive right now.

"Won't this interfere with your schedule? Or I can have my agent pick me up."

Chen Ran picked up his phone and glanced at the time.

"It won't cause any trouble. The crew wasn't filming anything crucial this morning, so it's fine if I go a little later."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

"No need to be so polite, Nuna. Let me drive."

"Okay." The two opened the car door and got out, switching places.

However, they did not notice that a camera lens was peering out of a slightly lowered window of a car parked on the opposite side of the road, pointing at the two of them and continuously pressing the shutter.

---

In the car.

Chen Ran kept his eyes on the road ahead and drove steadily.

Jin Ruanruan sat in the passenger seat, glancing at Chen Ran next to her every now and then before quickly looking away, looking here and touching there.

It felt like the first time I was riding in my own car; it just didn't feel natural.

Her little feet had been awkwardly scratching inside her white sneakers several times.

This was the first time she and Chen Ran had been alone together, especially in a confined space like a car.

Unlike previous times, when either Yoona or Jessica Jung were present.

Knowing that her future self liked Chen Ran, Jin Ruanruan felt inexplicably nervous.

"Nuna, didn't you sleep well last night?" Chen Ran suddenly asked from the side. He had noticed earlier that Jin Ruanruan's eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested well.

"Huh? Oh... I went back to Jeonju overnight after finishing my trip yesterday to visit my father, and then drove back early this morning."

That's why she was a little distracted at the intersection, which caused her to lose control of the brakes and the car to roll forward a bit, crashing into Chen Ran's car.

"Oh, how is your uncle doing now?"

"It's fine. The doctor said to continue taking the medication and just pay attention to daily care."

As Jin Ruanruan spoke, she turned to look at Chen Ran.

"I still want to thank you and Kim Tae-yeon for reminding me."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Noona, you don't need to thank me. I didn't do anything, I just opened a door. As for Taeyeon Noona, you don't need to thank me either. He's your mutual father. You're just helping her make up for her regrets."

Jin Ruanruan smiled upon hearing this, her eyes glancing at Chen Ran's hands gripping the steering wheel, her gaze flickering slightly.

Chen Ran was also the first man of the opposite sex to drive her car.

"By the way, I heard from Soo-yeon that the house was reconnected yesterday, connected to T-ara's Park Ji-yeon, but she moved out again later."

Chen Ran nodded: "Yes, but she came back later." "Huh? She came back?"

"right."

Chen Ran briefly recounted what happened last night.

Jin Ruanruan's eyes widened: "You can do that?"

Isn't this just forced love?

"I only found out last night; I never imagined the house had this function."

"Have you contacted Kim Tae-yeon and the others?"

"Yes, I called yesterday."

"I see."

Jin Ruanruan nodded thoughtfully.

From this perspective, as long as the house remains connected to the people of the past 25 years, Chen Ran and Kim Tae-yeon's connection will not be severed.

The only difference is that they can no longer live together. And...

Jin Ruanruan glanced at Chen Ran secretly and frowned.

If the houses keep connecting, and all the connections are with people of the opposite sex, Chen Ran might end up with more and more women around him.

No.

I still can't get involved.

About ten minutes later, the car slowly drove into the underground parking garage of the residential complex.

Following Jin Ruanruan's instructions, Chen Ran drove to an area near an elevator and parked his car in a parking space.

Jin Ruanruan unbuckled her seatbelt: "Thank you for today."

Chen Ran smiled and replied, "It's nothing."

"Um...you didn't bring your car, how are you going to get to the film set?"

"I'll just take a taxi there."

Jin Ruanruan opened her mouth, wanting to suggest driving his car over, but she stopped herself just in time. If Zheng Xiuyan found out, she might misunderstand and think she had feelings for Chen Ran.

She also couldn't get too involved with Chen Ran.

I had already decided not to like it anymore.

The two got out of their cars and took the elevator to the first floor to part ways.

"Then I'll be going now, Nuna. You go back to your dorm and get some rest."

"it is good."

Chen Ran turned and left, and Jin Ruanruan watched his back until the elevator doors closed completely.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a sense of confusion and helplessness in her heart.

Just like before when she went to Kim Tae-yeon to tell her her decision not to like Chen Ran.

For some reason, her several meetings with Chen Ran all seemed like accidental encounters, yet they ended abruptly.

We seemed to have talked quite a bit on the way, but there was always a sense of distance between us.

Their relationship seemed to remain stuck in an awkward limbo, somewhere between being somewhat familiar and not quite. Logically, with Kim Tae-yeon as a special bond, her relationship with Chen Ran should have progressed rapidly, at least to the point where it resembled that of Jessica Jung.

But the truth is no.

She knew perfectly well that the problem lay with herself.

Keeping her distance from Chen Ran was what she wanted, but she felt a sense of confusion and helplessness.

Her mind was a jumble of thoughts. It wasn't until she sat down on the edge of the bed that she managed to calm herself down and let out a soft sigh.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now. I'll go to sleep first; I have plans for the afternoon.

Jin Ruanruan lay down on the bed and, perhaps because she was too tired, quickly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, a cell phone rang urgently in the bedroom.

Jin Ruanruan, who was woken up, frowned and reached out with her eyes half open.

She reached for her phone on the bedside table and, still half asleep, answered the call.

"Feed"

The manager's slightly serious voice came from the other end of the phone. "Taeyeon, are you dating?"

"what?"
