Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Ham Eun-jung was slightly taken aback.

Just as her warm breath gently brushed against Chen Ran's lips, Chen Ran's warm breath also brushed against her lips when he spoke.

Moreover, the heat was even hotter, making Ham Eun-jung's heart skip a beat.

Even though there was still some distance between her lips and Chen Ran's, she inexplicably felt as if Chen Ran was speaking close to her lips, as if they had already kissed.

Ham Eun-jung snapped out of her daze and quickly got up.

Her fair face was now slightly flushed.

"What...what are you saying?"

She finished speaking with a slightly evasive look in her eyes, and then couldn't help but glance at Chen Ran again.

She had just taken her temperature normally, so how did it come out of this man's mouth as something suggestive?

He couldn't help but recall the positions the two of them had just been in.

Is it ambiguous?

Ham Eun-jung's face suddenly flushed a few degrees. Okay...it does seem rather ambiguous.

At least, she hasn't done that with any other man.

But I was really just taking my temperature, and I'm completely innocent.

Chen Ran misunderstood.

Chen Ran's somewhat muddled mind cleared up a bit at this moment.

Realizing that I might have said something wrong, I wanted to apologize.

"Yes...cough cough cough..."

The moment he uttered the word, a dry, itchy, and painful sensation shot through his throat, causing him to cough violently.

Seeing this, Ham Eun-jung's slight resentment vanished instantly, and she softened immediately.

She quickly said, "I know you didn't mean that. I'm not angry. If your throat hurts, then don't talk."

Ham Eun-jung turned around, picked up the bottled water from the bedside table, opened it, took out the fever reducer she had brought, took out two tablets, and handed them to Chen Ran along with the bottled water.

Although there was a kettle in the room, she wasn't sure if it was really clean, so she couldn't boil water and had to make do with bottled water. "Your fever is quite high. Take two of these pills, and then take your temperature again."

Chen Ran took the pills and bottled water and sat up with some difficulty.

The feeling of soreness all over my body with the slightest movement is so intense!

After Chen Ran took the pills and water, Xian Enjing didn't stop either. She reached out and took the pillow next to her, stacked it with the original pillow, and tilted it slightly so that Chen Ran could lean against it and sit more comfortably.

He then opened the electronic thermometer he had brought with him and handed it to Chen Ran.

"Take your temperature again and place it under your armpit."

"Thanks."

After taking the medicine, Chen Ran took the thermometer and obediently followed instructions.

Looking at Chen Ran, who was leaning against the headboard and looking listless, Xian Enjing frowned slightly.

Chen Ran's condition was more serious than she had imagined.

"Didn't you go to the hospital before?"

"I was planning to go this afternoon," Chen Ran replied simply, but Ham Eun-jung pursed her lips.

So I was originally planning to go to the hospital in the afternoon, but he came over because I called him for help.

Perhaps it was because I made him travel such a long distance that his condition worsened.

Thinking of this, Ham Eun-jung couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Chen Ran, seeing that she suddenly lowered her head slightly and fell silent, seemed to guess her thoughts and spoke up:

"Eun-jung, don't feel guilty. It was my own decision to come. You didn't put a knife to my throat and force me to come."

"Besides, my help to you isn't entirely without ulterior motives. You're the third female lead in my drama now. If something happens to you as is predicted in the future, my drama will definitely be affected."

"The drama's premiere ratings are so good right now, I don't want it to be affected. Besides, this is my first project, so my decision to come here isn't entirely because of you, it's also for my own career... cough cough..."

As Chen Ran spoke, he couldn't help but cough twice more.

Ham Eun-jung quickly said, "I know, just say less."

Chen Ran smiled and obediently remained silent.

Ham Eun-jung glanced at Chen Ran, whose smile seemed a little forced, and pursed her lips. The self-blame in her heart had indeed lessened a lot because of Chen Ran's words, but another emotion inexplicably welled up again.

At this moment, Chen Ran on the bed suddenly spoke again: "Eun-jung, your feet are quite cute."

Ham Eun-jung was slightly taken aback. Following Chen Ran's gaze, she looked down at her fair and slightly fleshy feet.

Suddenly being stared at by two people, Ham Eun-jung's feet seemed a little shy, and her chubby toes couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Ham Eun-jung blinked.

Something does seem... off!

She quickly realized what was happening and looked up at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran then realized the outrageous thing he had just said.

Damn it, I'm so delirious from the fever!

Why do you say such things?!

"Ahem... I didn't mean to offend you, I just think it's cute, ahem..."

Ham Eun-jung remained silent, simply watching him. Please remember the only official website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. This is the only official website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Chen Ran swallowed hard, realizing that no matter how he explained it, it would be problematic, so he decisively chose to close his eyes and play dead.

It's reasonable that he's a patient now.

Seeing this, Ham Eun-jung couldn't help but roll her eyes.

That acting was terrible.

Her acting was nowhere near as good as when she pretended to be sleepy to trick the little dragon into going back.

Luckily, she's a screenwriter; if she were an actress, she'd only ever be a pretty face.

but...

Ham Eun-jung looked down at her feet again.

Isn't she cute?

This seems to be the first time her feet have been praised for being cute, especially by a man.

She pursed her lips, a strange emotion welling up inside her—not disgust, but rather a strange sense of happiness. Was it because she'd been praised?

But what if the person who said that wasn't Chen Ran, nor a stranger, but a colleague like Lee Jong-suk or Kim Woo-bin...

Ham Eun-jung thought about that scenario.

—Ha, you pervert! Take this whip kick!

But the person who said that was Chen Ran...

Ham Eun-jung looked up again at Chen Ran, who was still pretending to be dead with his eyes closed.

Forget it, why bother arguing with a patient who has a high fever?

The room fell inexplicably quiet.

Ham Eun-jung ignored Chen Ran, who was pretending to be dead, and quickly began to think about something else.

Chen Ran's words to her not to blame herself were indeed correct, but they were also meant to comfort her.

Because he became aware of his own emotions.

Ham Eun-jung's gaze fell on Chen Ran's face again. This man... is he really this considerate and kind to all the girls he knows?

No, that's definitely not it.

At least he wasn't like that with Jang Nara and Yoo Hwa-young.

"Maybe it's because I'm close to them," Ham Eun-jung gave herself an answer.

It couldn't be because Chen Ran also had a crush on him, could it?

The next second, a thought suddenly popped into my head.

She was startled, but seeing that Chen Ran still had his eyes closed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to dispel the thought.

"Knock knock"

A knocking sound suddenly rang out.

Ham Eun-jung was startled by the sudden sound and instinctively turned to look at the door.

She quickly realized what was happening, frowned, and looked at Chen Ran again.

Chen Ran had obviously heard the knocking, and he opened his eyes, having almost fallen asleep. "Did you order any room service?"

"No," Chen Ran shook his head blankly.

"Who could it be?"

Ham Eun-jung turned around in confusion, walked to the door, and looked outside through the peephole.

Upon recognizing the figure outside the door, their eyes widened instantly.

Jiyeon!

How did she find this place?!

At the door, seeing no response to his knocking, Xiaolongzai picked up his phone and dialed Ham Eunjung's number.

The cell phone rang clearly from inside the room.

In the room, Ham Eun-jung looked at her ringing phone and sighed helplessly, knowing she couldn't pretend to be dead anymore.

She opened the door.

At the doorway, the little dragon cub saw his older sister and a victorious smile instantly spread across his face. "Heh heh, I caught you~ older sister~"

She hung up the phone and walked inside, saying, "Unnie, you have a boyfriend, right? Let me see who it is..."

The next second, his eyes fell on that familiar face on the bed, and the little dragon's smile instantly froze on his face.

"Oppa..."

The girl stood there stunned as her worst fears were confirmed, and suddenly she heard the sound of something breaking.

Ham Eun-jung sighed in exasperation and closed the door.

"Ji-yeon, what brings you here?"

The little dragon cub stared blankly at Chen Ran. Only after Xian Enjing walked over did he come to his senses, looking at him and then at her.

"you..."

"Ji-yeon, Chen Ran is sick, I've come to bring him medicine," Ham Eun-jung quickly explained.

Now that we've been discovered, let's explain it clearly to avoid any misunderstanding from this younger sister.

Besides, she and Chen Ran really didn't have any misunderstandings; she was telling the truth. "What?! Oppa, you're sick!"

The little dragon quickly went to the bedside to look at Chen Ran.

He was listless and looked pale; he certainly looked like he was sick.

"Cough cough... It's nothing, just a common cold and fever. I'll be fine after taking some medicine and sleeping it off."

Didi

The electronic thermometer will sound an alarm when the temperature measurement is finished.

Chen Ran took out the thermometer, and Xian Enjing reached out and took it.

"39.3 degrees Celsius, that's a bit high."

She frowned. "Shouldn't we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"39.3 degrees?! Oppa, your fever is that high?"

The little dragon cub's attention was also completely focused on Chen Ran's condition, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Oppa, Eunjung unnie is right, shall we go to the hospital?" "Cough cough..."

Chen Ran waved his hand: "No need, I've already taken fever reducer, my temperature should go down later."

Ham Eun-jung nodded: "Okay, then we'll see later. If it goes down, then we don't need to go to the hospital."

The main problem is that neither she nor Xiaolongzai can accompany Chen Ran to the hospital, but she is worried about Chen Ran going to the hospital alone.

"Yeah, it's nothing, don't worry, it's not a big deal."

Ham Eun-jung walked to the small sofa in the room and sat down. Seeing this, Little Dragon also walked over and sat down next to her.

The room fell silent for a brief moment.

At this moment, the little dragon cub suddenly realized what was going on.

Something's not right!

There's definitely something going on between oppa and Eunjung unnie!

She glanced furtively at Ham Eun-jung beside her, then at Chen Ran, and finally asked with pursed lips, "Oppa, what are you doing here? When did you get here?"

"Oh, I just got here tonight. I have some business to attend to." "Oh, that's quite a coincidence. We're staying at the same hotel too."

Chen Ran chuckled and said, "Yeah, it is quite a coincidence."

The little dragon suddenly turned to look at Ham Eun-jung beside him: "Eun-jung unnie, how did you know oppa was here?"

Ham Eun-jung was slightly taken aback: "Oh, I just asked Chen Ran about the crew this afternoon, and that's how I found out he came to Japan and is staying at the same hotel as us."

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, adding, "Yes, and then I felt a bit feverish. Eun-jung said she had some fever reducers, so she brought them to me."

"I see." The little dragon nodded.

Chen Ran and Xian Enjing exchanged a secret glance. Their seemingly reasonable explanation should have fooled the little dragon cub.

But then the little dragon suddenly spoke up again: "Why did oppa only ask Eun-jung unnie and not me?"

The girl pouted slightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

It can only be said that women do tend to focus on the key points when it comes to matters of the heart.

Why did you only tell Eun-jung unnie when you came to Japan, but not me?

Does that mean that in your heart, Eunjung unnie is more important than me? Even if you talked about the film crew first, and then naturally the topic turned to where you were.

But since you were chatting with Eun-jung unnie, why didn't you think of me being here too and tell me that you've come to Japan?

Moreover, although what these two said seemed flawless, Little Dragon Cub had actually already discovered the problem.

Oppa said he felt a bit feverish, and Eunjung unnie happened to have some fever reducers, so she brought them over to him.

But she clearly saw Eun-jung unnie swipe her card to enter the room by herself.

Considering what happened earlier when Eunjung unnie took the wrong room key, that room key must belong to oppa's room.

This means that Eunjung unnie had already been to oppa's room once before this trip, otherwise how could she have a room card?

It's likely that Eunjung unnie came downstairs to find oppa first, and then discovered that oppa had a fever, so she went back upstairs to get fever-reducing medicine.

As it turned out, she ran into herself who was looking for her. She lied and said that she had just gone to the lobby on the first floor. Then she pretended to be sleepy and left, and then came downstairs.

—The aura of a famous detective still surrounds the little dragon cub.

When it comes to matters of the heart, girls are indeed all detectives.

After sorting out her thoughts, Xiaolongzai felt a pang of sadness. There must be something between oppa and Eunjung unnie that they were keeping from her.

"Forehead"

Faced with the little dragon's sudden question and resentful look, Chen Ran's mind, which was somewhat muddled due to a high fever, was instantly unable to respond.

He subconsciously glanced at Ham Eun-jung beside him.

Please help!

But Ham Eun-jung turned her head to the side, ignoring Chen Ran's pleading gaze.

Her idea was very simple.

Who told you to provoke Jiyeon and make her fall for you?

Would things have turned out this way if you hadn't provoked her?

Now I feel like I've been caught cheating, and I'm a little guilty in front of Jiyeon.

Don't expect me to clean up your mess!

Solve it yourself! "..."

Chen Ran's lips twitched slightly.

In a critical moment, his teammate abandoned him to save his own life.

Moreover, the atmosphere here feels somewhat like Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica are both attacking me at the same time.

But when it comes to them, he can solve the problem by putting them in bed.

But this method is clearly not suitable for dealing with Little Dragon Boy and Ham Eun-jung.

Dangerous!

The little dragon cub's eyes remained fixed on him.

Chen Ran's feverish brain was working at its best.

The only option now is to play the victim.

"Um, well, cough cough... my head has been foggy since this morning, and I really forgot to tell you that I came here, cough cough... I'm sorry, Jiyeon."

"Oh." The little dragon cub responded with an "oh," its face revealing no emotion.

The room fell silent, but the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Chen Ran racked his brains and it took him a long time to come up with a solution to break the deadlock.

"Um... it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest? You have a rehearsal tomorrow, don't you?"

However, the next second, Ham Eun-jung and the little dragon cub looked at him at the same time and said in unison:

"no."

"..."
