Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

When Zhou Haoming got home, he received a message from Liu Zhimin that the recording had finished. When he learned that Liu Zhimin wanted to come to his house today, Zhou Haoming rushed to the supermarket to buy ingredients for cooking.

As I passed the cashier, I grabbed a bag of strawberry-flavored snacks.

Returning home with the ingredients, Zhou Haoming hummed a song as he started cooking, but he left the housewarming gift Lin Yoona had given him on the computer desk without having a chance to tidy it up or hide it properly.

"Jimin, where are you? Do you want me to come down and get you?" Zhou Haoming said sweetly on the phone.

"Ugh, why are you so mushy!" Liu Zhimin said with a hint of disgust. "I'll be there soon. Should we buy some fruit for home? I need some fruit when I want to watch TV later."

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything for you. We'll just come straight home and comfortably wait for our meal!" Zhou Haoming sounded like an old witch trying to coax a little girl. He was deceiving Liu Zhimin step by step.

"Well, it seems Haoming is really thoughtful. I'll come right up then!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Haoming felt elated, thinking about how to get to base after dinner while he cooked.

After a while.

The door was opened by Liu Zhimin. "Wow, our darling arrived so quickly? I thought it would be a while longer," Zhou Haoming said, feigning surprise.

"Tch, you should have known when I opened the door downstairs, right? So fake, Zhou Haoming!"

Liu Zhimin changed into slippers and went straight to the bedroom to wash up and change into pajamas.

Zhou Haoming suddenly remembered that the housewarming gift Lin Yoona had given him was still on his computer desk in the bedroom!

"Oh no!" He immediately put down the kitchen knife and tiptoed to the bedroom door. Hearing no sound from inside, he assumed Liu Zhimin had gone to the bathroom to wash up.

The moment I opened the door, I felt the intense coldness of the room! I saw that Yoo Jimin was holding a photo frame, which was a housewarming gift from Im Yoon-ah.

Zhou Haoming, seeing Liu Zhimin on the verge of exploding in anger, spoke softly...

"Jimin, this is a housewarming gift that Yoona sunbaenim gave me today. I just got back and opened it to find this. I was just about to throw it away."

"Hehe, why does this background look so familiar? It's an amusement park near Mount Fuji in Japan! Tell me what's going on, did Yoona photoshop it?"

Hearing Liu Zhimin's barrage of questions, Zhou Haoming was filled with despair. No amount of explanation could undo the obvious.

"This was indeed taken at the amusement park on Mount Fuji," Zhou Haoming admitted.

"Let's think back to that time. It seems like you were at the amusement park on that one day, and Ningning and I were at the amusement park that day too."

"Did you guys go to the War Maze? I was wondering why I saw someone who looked so familiar! It was you, Zhou Haoming and Lin Yun'er!" Liu Zhimin roared angrily!

"Zhou Haoming! You really need to explain this to me properly!"

"Jimin, listen to me. The situation was a bit complicated. I had already promised Yoona that I would spend a day with her, and I didn't expect her to ask me to go to the amusement park."

"But I really didn't see you at the amusement park, otherwise I would have explained it to you properly back then." Zhou Haoming still stubbornly denied that he had seen Liu Zhimin at the amusement park.

"You still won't tell me the truth even now?" Liu Zhimin asked, staring intently at Zhou Haoming with tears in her eyes.

"Jimin, you have to believe me! I really didn't see you at the amusement park," he said as he stepped forward and hugged Liu Jimin.

"Zhou Haoming, I am truly, truly disappointed in you! I never imagined you were this kind of person!"

Liu Zhimin shoved Zhou Haoming away. "Let's break up. I just can't stand a boyfriend who's full of lies!"

Liu Zhimin walked to the bedroom door, took a deep breath, and said, "Zhou Haoming! Even now you still want to keep it from me. When I saw this photo, I called Ningning and she told me that she saw you with Lin Yun'er at the time, and I was in the bathroom."

  

"So do you understand now? I don't want to hear your lies, I just need you to tell me the truth and apologize to me."

Liu Zhimin smashed the photo frame. "And you, Zhou Haoming, I've made myself perfectly clear, and you're still trying to fool me with fancy words! Do you think I'm easy to fool or stupid?"

After saying that, he turned around, slammed the door shut, and left.

Zhou Haoming was speechless and unable to say anything to persuade Liu Zhimin to stay, because he knew that it was indeed his fault.

Looking at the open door, Zhou Haoming felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

When I got to the living room, I saw a message on my phone from Ningning. She said she had told Liu Zhimin about meeting him and Lin Yun'er that day.

At this point, Zhou Haoming was speechless, his mind completely blank.

Looking at the shattered picture frame on the ground, Zhou Haoming's heart shattered just like the broken frame.

"Zhou Haoming, Zhou Haoming, would it kill you to tell the truth sooner? Why do you have to be so self-righteous and keep it from Zhimin?" Zhou Haoming muttered to himself as he sat slumped on the sofa.

On the other side, Liu Zhimin, dressed in pajamas, squatted downstairs in the apartment complex, sobbing with her arms wrapped around her shoulders. She had called Ningning to pick her up when she got off the elevator.

She thought about the wonderful times she had spent with Zhou Haoming, and the sweet words they exchanged during their video calls. It all felt like a dream.

Thinking of this, she burst into tears. When Ningning arrived, she looked at her unnie with heartache, "Unnie, you wait! I'm going to go up and have a serious talk with Zhou Haoming! What did he promise me back then?! It hasn't even been that long and you're already crying like this!"

"Alright, Ningning, it's all over now. Everything's over. Let's go back to the dorm." Liu Zhimin was carried into the van by Ningning like a walking corpse.

Sitting by the window, Liu Zhimin stared silently out the window. His manager and Ningning exchanged a glance and tacitly refrained from asking Liu Zhimin what had happened. At this point, anyone with eyes could see what was going on.

Suddenly, Liu Zhimin started sobbing softly again. Seeing this, Ningning quickly comforted her, "Unnie, unnie, let's not cry, okay? It's not worth crying like this over a jerk!"

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken you to Dali in the first place. That way, you wouldn't have met that scumbag," Ningning said, and then she started crying.

This left the agent driving nearby completely bewildered. "How come you're making yourself cry while trying to comfort them? What kind of mess is this?!" she thought. She had no choice but to quickly take these two troublemakers back to their dorm. Then she told Gisele and Winter to hurry back to their dorm to sort things out together.
