Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Wu Haiyuan explained to his two mothers why he and Han Xijun hadn't gotten a couple's ring after dating for 10 months.

It wasn't that Han Xijun didn't know how to buy couple rings or was unwilling to spend the money, nor was it that Wu Haiyuan was resistant to couple rings; it was simply because of his profession.

The two mothers understood.

Idols are public figures, and they need the support of fans to go further.

But that doesn't mean you have to wear couple rings 24/7.

Yes, but I don't wear it.

No, I can't wear it.

It's two different things.

Wu Haiyuan takes off the ring when he's working, and wears it when he's resting and dating Han Xijun, so that they look like a couple.

Han Xijun's mother even told Wu Haiyuan that the most important thing was to make those who had designs on Han Xijun back down.

She knows her son best. Once he has a couple's ring, he will wear it 24 hours a day. No matter where he goes or what occasion he attends, he will tell others that he has a girlfriend.

Wu Haiyuan also didn't need to worry about Han Xijun, whom he couldn't see often, encountering "things" outside. Wu Haiyuan's mother chimed in, emphasizing the necessity of couple rings.

It is absolutely necessary.

It wasn't that she liked Han Xijun more and more as she looked at him; it was that Han Xijun was truly that outstanding, and Wu Haiyuan couldn't help but worry. This wasn't a matter of trust.

Just like the stamen of a flower, there will always be bees wanting to collect pollen from it.

In the kitchen, two mothers were instilling "ideologies" in Wu Haiyuan.

living room.

After a game of Go ended, Wu Zhiyuan, who was chatting about Christmas dates, asked Han Xijun a similar question: what kind of gifts he received for Christmas.

It must be said that Wu Zhiyuan has high emotional intelligence.

Han Xijun's father immediately asked Han Xijun what gift he gave Wu Haiyuan for Christmas.

Han Xijun was telling the truth; he gave her matching gloves, while Wu Haiyuan prepared a hand-knitted scarf.

The value of a gift doesn't depend on its price; what matters most is that it expresses the sentiment behind it.

At least that's what Han Xijun thought. But today, his belief wavered.

First, Han Xijun's father said, "It's good. When your mother and I started dating decades ago, we were still college students. We didn't have much money, so we could only afford to give her similar gifts."

It's obvious they're targeting Han Xijun.

These are all gift-giving routines from decades ago, especially considering the lack of money involved. While the value of a gift cannot be used to measure a relationship, expensive gifts always have only one drawback: they are pricey.

Aside from that, it has all the advantages and is something the recipient can absolutely brag about.

Han Xijun took out his phone to show off his phone case.

Wu Zhiyuan looked bewildered and remained silent for a while before finally saying, "So these are the gifts you received for your first Christmas with Haiyuan?"

Han Xijun nodded.

Wu Zhiyuan muttered, "These days, even elementary school students don't give gifts like this to their crushes for Christmas. All I know of are elementary school students giving couple essentials."

Han Xijun understood perfectly well and explained, "Mainly because Haiyuan is an idol, so we need to keep a low profile."

Then Han Xijun overheard his father and Wu Zhiyuan saying something similar to what the two mothers in the kitchen were saying to Wu Haiyuan.

Different spaces. Han Xijun looked towards the kitchen.

Wu Haiyuan happened to turn around and look towards the living room.

The two saw each other at the same time and thought to themselves, "What Mom, Dad, and Wu Zhiyuan said makes sense."

The family gathering on the first day of the new year lasted from noon until late at night.

With both mothers present, the food on the table was always warm.

With both fathers present, the empty wine bottles on the table kept piling up.

Wu Haiyuan has already returned to his room.

She was drunk.

He was really drunk.

Wu Zhiyuan stayed at the table with Han Xijun and the two fathers, still drinking beer.

Wu Haiyuan's father was slurring his words, pointing unsteadily at the empty bottle: "Raspberry, ginseng wine, baijiu, shaojiu, beer, this is the first time in my life I've drunk so many kinds of alcohol in one meal."

Han Xijun's father was in a similar state, putting his arm around Wu Haiyuan's father's shoulder and muttering, "Judge Wu." Wu Haiyuan's father responded with an "Eh."

Han Xijun's father chuckled and said, "I was wrong, hyung. How about we get together like this once a month from now on?"

"Okay, no problem."

"This time it's at your home. Next time you come to Busan, I'll take hyung to eat the most authentic seafood in Busan."

living room

The two mothers just kept shaking their heads.

I was somewhat surprised by the popularity of Han Xijun and Wu Zhiyuan.

Two years ago, Han Xijun was a student who had never touched a drop of alcohol. On his coming-of-age ceremony, Han Xijun's father wanted him to drink a toast to his life, but he refused. Little did anyone expect that Han Xijun would be such a heavy drinker now.

Wu Zhiyuan was similar; she didn't drink alcohol before joining SK Hynix.

On the table.

Han Xijun asked, "Just how much alcohol does your sister drink?"

Wu Zhiyuan shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Maybe I'm in better shape today because I'm at home. Last time I drank with Faker and the others, I got dizzy after only a few drinks."

"When did you start drinking, sister?"

"University, shh, it's a secret. They don't know I started drinking secretly in my freshman year."

Their conversation was interrupted.

Wu Haiyuan's father said, "That's about enough for today. You should all wash up and get some rest."

Han Xijun's father waved his hand and stammered, "Hello, I'll take my wife and leave first."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Han Xijun looked at his father, who was about to get up, and asked, "What about me?"

Wu Haiyuan's father quickly replied, "Go wash up and rest."

Wu Zhiyuan quickly tried to smooth things over.

You can't say things carelessly to your elders, and you can't drink too much alcohol either.

Signaling to Han Xijun to take good care of his father, Wu Zhiyuan got up, took her father's arm, and tried to help him back to the bedroom. A woman's strength is always limited; Wu Zhiyuan couldn't manage alone.

Han Xijun stepped forward to help.

Unfortunately, Wu Haiyuan's father had drunk too much and remained in an excited state.

Finally, with no other option, Han Xijun simply picked up Wu Haiyuan's father in a princess carry.

"where?"

"Innermost"

In the living room, Wu Haiyuan's mother immediately got up and went to help when she saw this scene.

Han Xijun's mother also came to her husband's side and said, "I hope you had a good time today."

"Thank you, wife."

After escorting Wu Haiyuan's father back to his room, Wu Haiyuan's mother and Wu Zhiyuan looked Han Xijun up and down.

They probably didn't expect that Han Xijun, with his refined appearance, would have such great strength.

Han Xijun didn't go to see Wu Haiyuan, who was already resting. Maintaining certain boundaries was essential in Wu Haiyuan's home.

Return to the living room.

Han Xijun's father opened his arms and shouted, "Son, I want a hug too!"

Finally, Wu Haiyuan's mother and Wu Zhiyuan drove Han Xijun and his family of three to the garage. Han Xijun's mother drove, and before parting, Wu Zhiyuan reminded Han Xijun of the important things he needed to do the next day.
