Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

When Han Xijun was frightened by his mother, Wu Haiyuan wasn't much better off.

Living room sofa.

Wu Haiyuan originally learned Chinese four-character idioms at the company to showcase his personal charm when participating in variety shows. He was a little unclear about the meanings of some less commonly used four-character idioms, but he didn't expect to completely understand them tonight.

For example, feeling like one is sitting on pins and needles.

As soon as he got home and sat down on the sofa, his mother's question, "How far have things progressed in your relationship?" left Wu Haiyuan completely at a loss.

That's exactly what it means.

Speeding.

Wu Haiyuan tried her best to explain that she and Han Xijun were just having a normal relationship like any other couple.

The parents exchanged a glance but didn't say anything.

Other couples.

What they understood to mean was that Wu Haiyuan and Han Xijun would also do the things that other couples did.

That's not wrong. Dating naturally involves going on dates, which is about experiencing different emotional values, finding strengths in the other person that compensate for your own shortcomings, and gaining a sense of connection, longing, joy, excitement, and happiness.

Of course, there will definitely be other emotional changes during the process, but ultimately it's about letting people know that there is someone in this world who is very suitable to be by their side.

As time goes by, relationships change, feelings deepen, and various other things happen...

Living room sofa.

Wu Haiyuan's mother slowly said, "Daughter, you don't need to explain so complicatedly. You and Xijun have a long road ahead of you. You're going to Xijun's house tomorrow, so go wash up and rest early. Remember to take care of your skin."

"what?"

Wu Haiyuan's father chimed in, "Go and rest."

After saying that, Wu Haiyuan looked at his parents who decisively got up and left the living room and fell into self-doubt.

Is the explanation too complicated?

That's how it is.

For the first time, I felt that my parents seemed a little "impatient" with me.

Wu Haiyuan, who was vaguely left in the living room, heard her parents discussing: "They probably weren't speeding." "That's my opinion too. Haiyuan's logical thinking in matters of the heart isn't very clear either."

Why are you bringing this up?

"Both of our daughters have very strong logical thinking and opinions; they inherited that from me, didn't they?"

"You should get some rest too, you drank so much today."

I'm going fishing tomorrow.

"Going again?"

Actually, I lost at fishing today.

living room.

Wu Haiyuan leaned back, lifted his legs, and crossed them on the sofa cushions in a meditative posture, staring at the unlit TV across from him.

Wu Haiyuan's silhouette was reflected on the TV screen.

There was some glare, making it difficult to see Wu Haiyuan's face clearly.

She was a little confused. Why were her parents asking her those questions? What would the answers do? What was their purpose? What if, by any chance, her relationship with Han Xijun progressed very quickly, and they were really going too far? Would they just come to her door to discuss marriage?

That's an exaggeration.

Things are different now than before.

There are so many more things you can do when you're in a relationship than before.

Moreover, the current social phenomenon is that if you don't do certain things with your partner during a relationship, you will be suspected or even looked down upon by your friends.

It's as if I have a lot of problems.

The simplest reason is a lack of attraction; otherwise, how could she not do something with her boyfriend during their relationship?

Hey.

My phone is vibrating.

Wu Haiyuan picked up his phone casually.

Unlock your phone screen.

A message from Han Xijun. Opening the message box, Han Xijun asked Wu Haiyuan if he was asleep.

blah blah blah

I quickly edited the message and replied.

Wu Haiyuan only snapped out of his daze after sending the message.

Staring wide-eyed at the "Asleep" reply in the text message chat box, Wu Haiyuan let out a few dry laughs.

Han Xijun replied quickly, and you could tell from his joking tone that he was amazed that someone could reply to a text message even while sleepwalking.

I'd rather it was just sleepwalking.

Wu Haiyuan wanted to tell Han Xijun about the question he was asked when he got home that night.

Type, delete, retype, delete completely.

She muttered to herself, "What good would it do to tell him? What do I want to hear from him? What do I want to get out of him?"

"Can we make a video call?"

"Now?" "Yes, I want to see you."

Wu Haiyuan stood up from the sofa, holding his phone and replying to the message: "I'm going to take a shower."

It wasn't to avoid video calls.

Wu Haiyuan thought that if they wanted to video call, it would be best to wait until he finished washing up and returned to his room, as he was in a somewhat... state right now.

Wu Haiyuan mainly felt that he would feel better after taking a shower.

You can chat slowly without any pressure from thinking about something you haven't finished, until you fall asleep.

Ding

Text message replies are now faster.

Wu Haiyuan glanced at his phone screen and stood there dumbfounded.

Did Han Xijun post this?

She had some doubts.

I repeatedly checked the contact, and it was indeed "Genius" in the contact list. There was only one "Genius" in my contacts, and that was Han Xijun. But why would he send a message like, "Can't we video chat while showering?"

Can I video chat while showering?

What a joke!

Wu Haiyuan was not mentally prepared for this.

Take the opportunity to send a message asking a question in return.

This time the wait was a bit long; Wu Haiyuan had already gone into the bathroom, squeezed out his toothpaste, and was ready to brush his teeth.

Ding

The text message has been replied to.

Just one sentence: "I'm ready, let me know when you're ready."

I looked up at the bathroom mirror.

Wu Haiyuan muttered, "What has he prepared?"

In the mirror, Wu Haiyuan's expression was reminiscent of a variety show—a truly bewildered look, an innocent expression, and a questioning gaze. He slowly put the toothbrush into his mouth and began to move it around.

Foam spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Wu Haiyuan muttered again, "So, what exactly did he prepare?"

Although he said it like that, Wu Haiyuan already had the answer in his heart.

What else could it be?

Han Hee-joon's question, "You can't video chat while showering," was itself an answer, not a question.

Go forward early.

Han Hee-joon was probably already "prepared" when he asked if they could make a video call.

He's not that kind of person.

Han Xijun never expected that Wu Haiyuan would be in the process of washing up.

He just wanted to video chat with Wu Haiyuan; perhaps he was in the process of washing up.

Want to show off his perfect physique? The likelihood is very high.

Her good looks are well-known.

Her figure, however, was always hidden under her clothes.

Is he trying to give his official girlfriend a unique perk in the world?

lure.

A naked temptation.

How can you get so deeply involved that you can't extricate yourself, and then become proactive?

This man is cunning.

swish

The hand movements stopped.

Foam dripped from the corners of his mouth and chin into the sink.

Drink water to rinse your mouth. Lower your head and spit out the rinse water.

Drain the water and use your hands to cup the water and wipe your mouth and chin.

Look up again.

Wu Haiyuan muttered, "Let's do a video call. Right now, I won't lose out. He's ready, and so am I."

He sat on the toilet seat with his phone in his hand.

Wu Haiyuan thought the video call would only last five or seven or eight minutes at most...
