Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.
Chapter 158 Are you tempted?
In the bedroom, Ham Eun-jung got up without much thought and went to put the water glass back.
Judging from Chen Ran's appearance just now, he was probably preparing to take a shower, and he should be showering now.
If I wash the cup now and dry it with a paper towel, Chen Ran won't know that I took the wrong cup.
It was just too embarrassing.
Chen Ran had already told her where the new water cup was; she had simply taken the wrong one by accident.
"Unnie, where are you going?"
"I'll go put the cup back."
"Huh? There's no need to be in such a hurry. You've already used it, so you can just put it back when you're done, right?"
"No, what if Chen Ran needs it later?"
"Then he can use other cups."
Ham Eun-jung ignored the little dragon, got out of bed, stuffed her fair and plump little feet into slippers, and then got up and walked to the door.
What's with using something you already know the answer to? It's like you're a couple in the early stages of a relationship.
That's not how she and Chen Ran are now.
I opened the door and walked a short distance when I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairwell.
Ham Eun-jung, who was already feeling a little guilty, was startled and instinctively stopped in her tracks. Then she saw Chen Ran appear at the bottom of the stairs.
"Eun-jung".
Upon seeing her, Chen Ran turned and walked over.
Ham Eun-jung stood there, her small, fair feet twitching nervously.
Oh no, we've been caught.
But she didn't move, doing something like turning around and running back to her bedroom, like in an idol drama.
Wouldn't that make things even more awkward?
She just accidentally took Chen Ran's water glass by mistake; it's not like she accidentally slept with Chen Ran.
"Is there anything you need?" Chen Ran walked up to Ham Eun-jung and asked, his gaze catching a glimpse of the water glass in her hand, and he couldn't help but pause slightly.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention while I was on the phone and accidentally took your cup."
"Oh, it's nothing. I wasn't paying attention and put the cup in the wrong place. It was next to the new cup."
Chen Ran smiled and took the water glass from Xian Enjing, noticing the slight embarrassment in her expression, and took the initiative to ease the awkwardness.
"But there's no water in the kitchen. I just boiled a kettle, so you'll have to wait a while if you want some water."
"Oh...it's okay, I'll just drink Jiyeon's."
Actually, she had just taken a sip from Chen Ran's water glass, and she wasn't very thirsty anymore.
"Okay, then you should get some rest."
"Okay, you too."
Chen Ran turned and walked towards his room. After taking a few steps, he glanced at the water glass in his hand, which was still almost full.
Presumably, Ham Eun-jung realized it was his water cup after being reminded by Dae-ryong, and hadn't drunk a drop. Thinking this, he picked it up and took a sip.
I was really thirsty. Waiting for the water in the kitchen to boil and then for it to cool down would take at least ten minutes.
There's plenty of cool water right in front of us, why not drink it?
The cool water instantly relieved my thirst.
Chen Ran let out a comfortable sigh, then suddenly smacked his lips twice and raised an eyebrow.
Strange, why does it taste slightly sweet?
Behind her, Ham Eun-jung secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to the bedroom door, and subconsciously glanced back as she opened the door.
As it happened, they saw Chen Ran pick up a water glass and tilt his head back slightly to drink.
The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and her ten chubby toes dug into the ground instantly.
How did he/she get drunk?
Moreover, the spot where he drank seemed to be the same spot where she had just drunk.
Then, the next second, Ham Eun-jung, who was already feeling a little embarrassed, suddenly felt her face burning hot, and even her delicate earlobes began to turn slightly red. Chen Ran actually smacked his lips twice!
It looked like they were savoring something.
But it's just a simple glass of water, what's so special about it?
The only difference is that she also took a sip just now.
Could it be...?
At that moment, Chen Ran on the other end suddenly turned his head.
Seeing Ham Eun-jung standing motionless at the bedroom door, he blinked.
"Is there anything else, Eun-jung?"
"Huh? Oh...it's nothing, get some rest."
Ham Eun-jung snapped out of her daze upon hearing the sound, quickly replied, then turned around and swiftly closed the door.
She closed the door, took a deep breath, and the scene of Chen Ran drinking water still lingered in her mind, leaving her with a sense of shame and embarrassment.
Why did you drink it directly? 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.
But by the time she saw it, Chen Ran had already drunk it.
At this moment, if she were to say, "No, I accidentally took a sip,"
Wouldn't that put the two of them in an even more awkward situation?
I feel like I've been doing some really embarrassing things all night.
First, the pepper spray and stun gun that were in her bag accidentally spilled out, and Chen Ran saw it all.
Then, she took the wrong water cup again, and when she tried to return it, Chen Ran caught her red-handed.
Finally, Chen Ran drank the water she had just taken a sip of.
I haven't felt this embarrassed in the past six months.
After thinking it over, Ham Eun-jung finally pursed her lips.
Never mind, it's just a glass of water after all, and Chen Ran didn't even know she had already drunk it.
"I don't want to think about it anymore." Ham Eun-jung walked into the room.
On the bed, the little dragon cub turned its head when it heard the noise, and blinked at her.
"Unnie, why is your face a little red?"
Ham Eun-jung paused abruptly, then quickly said nonchalantly, "Oh...it's nothing, maybe it's because I was walking a little too fast just now."
Big Dragon Boy chuckled: "Why are you walking so fast, Unnie? I just grabbed the wrong water cup. It's not like I defiled Chen Ran. Then I pulled up my pants and prepared to run away."
"What are you saying? Where did you learn all this from? Stop watching that nonsense online," Ham Eun-jung habitually lectured.
The little dragon blinked: "Unnie, I'm already 33 years old, it's normal for me to know these things."
Ham Eun-jung was taken aback.
Oh right, I momentarily forgot that the girl in front of me is actually 25 years old.
"Well... you can't just say things like that."
"Okay, I understand."
The little dragon replied with a smile, her eyes flickering slightly. It seemed like it had been a long time since she had been lectured like this by Eun-jung unnie.
It feels great.
Perhaps it's because I've grown up, and we don't see each other as often at events anymore. Although we're still close, time has inevitably changed some things.
Revisiting it now evokes a strange sense of nostalgia, as if I've been transported back to when I was 20.
People are sometimes so contradictory. Things that we take for granted or even find annoying when we are young, we start to miss as we get older.
After a moment of indescribable thoughts, Da Longzai came to his senses, looked at Ham Eun-jung sitting next to him on the headboard, smiled, and leaned close to her, taking her arm in his.
"Hehe~ Unnie, it's been so long since we've slept and chatted together like this."
Upon hearing this, Ham Eun-jung put down her phone and turned to look at her.
"Will we...rarely keep in touch in the future?"
"There are quite a few, but we don't do activities together anymore. Everyone has their own things to do, so we definitely won't see each other every day like we do now."
"So... how are we doing in the future?"
"It's good, hmm..." Big Dragon said one by one.
"Soyeon unnie found a boyfriend who is nine years younger than her, a soccer player. They are already married. Now, because of her husband's work, they live in Dubai and only come back occasionally."
"Baolan unnie now lives in Japan with her family. She comes back occasionally and seems to be doing quite well."
"Hyomin unnie also got married in April. She has her own beer brand, which is doing quite well."
"Qri unnie spends most of her time traveling and seems to be doing very well."
As Da Longzai spoke, he turned to look at Ham Eun-jung: "Only you, unnie, are still keeping up with your activities. It seems you've even taken on a weekend drama as the female lead, which will start filming in October."
Ham Eun-jung smiled upon hearing this.
This is something I would definitely do.
Tara is really important to her.
"And you, how are you doing?"
This younger sister just mentioned everyone, but not herself.
The little dragon paused, pursed his lips, and after a long while, finally spoke, "Unnie, I got divorced last year." "What?!"
Ham Eun-jung sat up abruptly, frowned at the little dragon for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"Is he treating you badly?"
"...He cheated on me."
"..."
Ham Eun-jung's chest began to heave violently.
"Who is it? Is it someone in the industry?"
"Not someone in the industry."
Seeing this, Da Longzai sat up and said with a smile, "It's okay, Unnie, it's all in the past. It's my fault for being blind, but I didn't let him take much money, so don't worry, Unnie."
Seeing that the little dragon seemed to have truly let go, Ham Eun-jung suppressed her rising anger, simply reaching out to gently rub the little dragon's head, her eyes filled with heartache.
Meeting that gaze, the little dragon's nose tingled slightly, but he still smiled and said:
"It's really okay, unnie. I'm doing great on my own now. I can do whatever I want, eat whatever I want, I'm so free." "Mm."
The two then tacitly stopped talking about these sad things and instead started talking about what happened 12 years ago.
One was talking about the present, the other was listening to memories; their moods were different, but they were equally happy.
Finally, they talked about the house that connected time and space in front of them.
"...I immediately kicked it, but Chen Ran actually used a baseball bat to block it. It hurt so much, my calf was all swollen, hahaha."
Daeyong and Ham Eunjung shared what happened on the morning the house was first connected, and they couldn't help but laugh at the end.
Ham Eun-jung laughed after hearing this, then asked, "So, how have you been feeling living with Chen Ran for the past few days?"
"That's great. Chen Ran's life is very regular. He gets up every morning to make breakfast, and he always makes one for me, saying he used my ingredients. But he doesn't know that those ingredients were all bought for me by you, my unnie, 25 years ago, hehe~"
Ham Eun-jung blinked as she listened, feeling inexplicably a little strange.
I bought you ingredients 25 years ago, and then Chen Ran used those ingredients to make you breakfast every day.
What role did I play in those 25 years?
The little dragon continued, "Now I've been taught to eat breakfast too. Before, when I lived alone, I never had the habit of eating breakfast. If I was really hungry, I'd just eat some biscuits to tide me over." The little dragon paused, her long, narrow eyes gleaming in the light, before continuing after a few seconds:
"Unnie".
"Um?"
"Actually, these past few days I've sometimes felt that what Chen Ran and I are doing now really feels like we're just living our lives."
"Chen Ran lives a simple and regular life. He gets up early every day, eats breakfast, and goes out to work. He comes home on time in the evening and starts cooking. He doesn't go to bars or nightclubs. Although this is a habit he developed when he lived alone, I feel comfortable adding it to his routine and there is no sense of incongruity."
"Every morning I sit at the dining table eating breakfast and watch him leave for work. After I finish eating, I clean up the dishes and kitchen. Then, if I have nothing else to do, I stay at home watching TV, taking a nap, and when it's almost time, I know he should be back soon. So I sit in the living room watching TV and waiting for him to come back. Then I eat dinner, clean up after dinner, and finally, we sit together in the living room watching TV for a while. If we have something to do, we each do our own thing. Finally, we say goodnight to each other and go back to our rooms to rest."
Ham Eun-jung listened from the side, her eyes flickering slightly.
Through Da Longzai's description, she could vividly imagine what that kind of life was like.
It is a simple yet peaceful life.
Moreover, she also sensed something else in it.
"So, Jiyeon, you've fallen for her?"
Are you tempted? The little dragon's eyes flickered slightly, then it shook its head slightly.
"Maybe a little, but I think it's more because I like this kind of life."
The life she and Chen Ran are living now is largely the simple yet stable married life she had imagined.
Ironically, she didn't experience this when she got married, but now, by chance, she's living with Chen Ran for a few days and is experiencing this kind of life.
Fate is truly unpredictable.
Don't say that you fall for a man in just a few days; isn't that a bit too hasty?
It was simply because Chen Ran happened to give her the kind of life she wanted and loved most.
Rather than saying she was "moved," Da Longzai preferred to say that she felt that continuing with this kind of life was pretty good.
Furthermore, she felt that a large part of the reason why Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica could get along peacefully around Chen Ran was because they enjoyed this kind of life.
For people like them who have been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years and are tired of the backstabbing and scheming, this kind of simple yet reassuring life is what they want most.
"But..."
Ham Eun-jung, standing beside him, pursed her lips as she watched the slight smile on Dae-ryong's lips. "Ji-yeon, didn't you just say that Taeyeon and Jessica, who have been together for 25 years, already have that kind of relationship with Chen Ran?"
"Yeah, but so what? Taeyeon unnie and Jessica unnie can be tolerant of each other, so I can be tolerant of them too. We can all be tolerant of each other."
As he spoke, Da Longzai puffed out his chest, trying to prove that he also had a certain degree of tolerance.
Ham Eun-jung blinked, looking confused.
What does that mean?
Three women sharing one husband?!
