Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

Zhou Haoming arrived at the entrance of an izakaya based on the location sent by Lin Yoona. After pushing open the door and entering, he found Yoona already inside ordering food and headed straight for her.

"Noona, why are you here so early? I thought I got here before you."

"Oh, of course we have to hurry up and see Haoming! Do you think I don't look good without makeup? I didn't put on any makeup so I could see you sooner," Yoona replied while flipping through the menu.

"Ah, so Noona wasn't wearing makeup. I just noticed. If Noona hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known she wasn't wearing makeup. It really is Noona's beauty that can hold up half of Korea's beauty." Zhou Haoming continued his steady flattery...

"Wow, how come you're so sweet-talking now? You used to be so clueless, did you learn how to pick up girls after going to Dali?" Yoona bit her lower lip and couldn't help but laugh, amused by Zhou Haoming's words. "By the way, what did you say you wanted to ask me for advice on?"

"Um... I just wanted to ask you, Nuna. I made a female friend of mine angry, and I'm planning to buy her a gift to calm her down, but I really don't know what to buy. So I wanted to ask you for advice, Nuna, hehehe." Zhou Haoming said with a silly grin.

"Is she your girlfriend or a female friend? You need to be clear about it. There's a big difference between adding or subtracting a single word, and I don't know how to handle that kind of situation," Yoona said softly, holding her knife and fork.

"Girlfriend... but mainly because she hasn't officially agreed to be my girlfriend yet." "Oh, I see, so we're in the ambiguous stage, right?" Yoona interrupted.

"Then we're still female friends." Yoona defined the relationship between Zhou Haoming and Liu Zhimin.

Just then, Liu Zhimin, Ningning, and Gisele finished their dance practice. "Unnie, how about we go to an izakaya for a drink to relax?" Ningning pleaded with her two unnies. "Then Gisele, let's find a place. The three of us can grab some late-night snacks and pack some food for Dongtian to take back home," Liu Zhimin thought for a moment, considering that their dance practice had ended early and the meeting hadn't lasted long, so he took his two sisters out to find something to eat.

"Unnie, there's a really good izakaya up ahead, let's go there," Gisele said, leading the way after checking the location. "Unnie, should I send Haoming a message saying we've finished our meeting and he can come find you?" Ningning asked, clinging to Liu Zhimin's arm.

"Forget it, he just arrived in Tokyo today, he's probably exhausted. Let's not make him come all the way here today, let him rest well at the hotel tonight." "Hmph ╯^╰ Unnie really knows how to care for people. That kid doesn't know how lucky he is, he's infuriating! I'll give him a piece of my mind tomorrow!"

Yu Ning and Gisele walked into the izakaya together. "Wow!" Just as Ning Ning instinctively scanned the store, she suddenly noticed two familiar figures sitting inside. Oh no, Ning Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Just as Ningning burst into a display of traditional Chinese culture, Liu Zhimin also noticed that Zhou Haoming and Lin Yun'er were chatting and flirting. His anger flared up instantly, and he ignored Ningning's attempts to stop him and went straight to Zhou Haoming's table.

Meanwhile, Zhou Haoming was completely unaware of the approaching danger and continued chatting and laughing with Yoona. Suddenly, Yoona seemed to notice something and said to him, "Haoming, let me introduce you to my main character today."

Lin Yoona also did not expect that the female friend Zhou Haoming mentioned would be Liu Zhimin.

Just as Zhou Haoming was wondering who was still making such a loud stomping sound in the store, he saw Ningning's "good luck" look in her eyes and realized that something was wrong.

"Zhou Haoming, I need a reasonable explanation." A voice seemed to pierce the eardrum with each word like a poisoned ice pick, the last syllable carrying the trembling sound of metal scraping against bone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoming was startled and quickly turned around to look at the owner of the cold voice: Liu Zhimin.

"Jimin, this is really a misunderstanding. Ningning said you guys were in a meeting, right? I just had a meal with Yoona and Noona to discuss some things. It's really nothing!" Zhou Haoming quickly replied.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona understood. The female friend Zhou Haoming was referring to was probably Liu Zhimin. She was just curious how these two seemingly unrelated people had developed into this relationship. So, she wisely kept quiet and tilted her head to watch everything unfold.

"Really? I saw you laughing really happily just now. What, you're so happy chatting with your goddess, huh!" Liu Zhimin's tone was still as cold as an ice pick piercing Zhou Haoming's eardrums.

Seeing that Lin Yoona remained calm and composed, Zhou Haoming knew that he could only rely on himself: "If you don't believe me, ask Yoona what we're here for." Zhou Haoming cleverly chose to steer the battle towards Lin Yoona.

"Haoming, weren't you just telling Noona how beautiful she is without makeup? Didn't you say Noona's looks are worth half of Korea's?" Lim Yoona asked Zhou Haoming innocently. "Oh right, you also said you were asking Noona for suggestions on what gift to give your female friends, right?"

"Female friend? Yoona unnie, are you sure he's talking to you as a female friend?" Yoo Jimin was already furious and ready to teach this scumbag a lesson.

"Yeah, Jimin. He said he upset a female friend and asked me what gift he should buy to make amends." Looking at Zhou Haoming's pleading gaze, Lim Yoona added, "He said it was some kind of ambiguous female friend. I just saw you were about to introduce you two, but I didn't expect this guy to be talking about you."

When Zhou Haoming saw that Lin Yoona had explained most of the situation for him, he breathed a huge sigh of relief and immediately gave her a grateful look.

"Unnie, I went to Dali with Ningning back then," Liu Zhimin said shyly.

  

Dude, where did that murderous tone go? Why are you so soft-spoken with Yoona? Do you think you're some kind of softie? Zhou Haoming looked at the timid Yoo Jimin and couldn't help but sigh, "There's definitely a charm to older women."

Ningning came in at this moment and tried to smooth things over, "Yoona unnie, can we share a table? I haven't seen you in so long and I miss you so much." After saying that, she pulled Gisele to sit next to Lim Yoona and they started chatting. Meanwhile, Liu Zhimin could only sit next to Zhou Haoming.

Seeing Liu Zhimin, who was all soft and gentle just a second ago, instantly switch to icy mode, Zhou Haoming couldn't help but sigh, "Women when they're angry are truly movie stars; the internet is right!"

Zhou Haoming shamelessly approached Liu Zhimin: "Zhimin, I was planning to ask you out tonight, but Ningning told me you guys have to go to a meeting to discuss the concert after dance practice, so she told me to come find you tomorrow. Coincidentally, Yoona and Noona invited me out for dinner, and I was having trouble deciding what gift to get you, so I thought I'd stop by and ask Noona. That's about it, don't be angry, okay? Little Yuzu, Little Yuzu."

"So after all these days you still don't know what I like? Heh, men really can't be trusted. And you call yourself MY? How shameless." Liu Zhimin slapped away Zhou Haoming's hand, which was trying to put his arm around her shoulder.

"I was just thinking that since it's such a memorable day for you, I wanted to ask your senior if this kind of gift would suit your taste better." Zhou Haoming's tone started with a hint of coquetry; he knew Liu Zhimin was most susceptible to this. And sure enough...

Liu Zhimin's tone gradually softened, and Ningning, sitting opposite him, breathed a sigh of relief as the atmosphere between the two eased. She then told the waiter to pack some dishes to take back to Dongtian unnie. Meanwhile, Lin Yun'er began to ponder the relationship between the two opposite her. She planned to ask Zhou Haoming about it properly on the day of the concert.

Since everyone had almost finished eating, it was time to leave. Zhou Haoming paid the bill and came back to call the group to get ready to go. Since Esper and the other two had their managers pick them up, Zhou Haoming didn't need to see them off.

At this moment, since Lin Yoona had already let her manager go home early and was slightly tipsy, she had no choice but to let Zhou Haoming take her back to the hotel. When Liu Zhimin saw Lin Yoona leaning on Zhou Haoming's shoulder, his murderous gaze pierced Zhou Haoming's head. Zhou Haoming felt this chilling aura, but not wanting Yoona to let go, he had no choice but to quickly have Esper's manager take the three of them away first.

Seeing Esper and the other two leave, Zhou Haoming said with a displeased expression, "Nuna, you've done your act. Do you think I don't know your drinking capacity? You're still trying to take advantage of me, your big yellow flower, even after everyone's gone."

Im Yoona immediately looked up: "What's wrong? Does your little brother not like Noona anymore now that he's older? Honestly, if it weren't for Noona today, someone would be finished. Let's go, take Noona back to the hotel."
