Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

After the meeting, Zhou Haoming stayed at the company for a while before leaving get off work early. He first took a taxi to the barbecue restaurant from yesterday to pick up Lin Yun'er's car, and then went straight to the supermarket to buy groceries for this afternoon.

After all, this was their first lunch together after officially getting together, so it had to be a bit more formal. But this afternoon, Yoona specifically asked for hot pot, and Zhou Haoming still had some hot pot base that he brought from China, so he came down to buy some meat.

"Hey, Noona, I've brought the car back. I'm buying you some meat at the supermarket now!"

"What do you mean, 'buy me meat'? You don't want to eat it, do you?!"

"Hehehe, has Nuna finished filming yet?" Zhou Haoming scratched his head.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted today! Luckily, Haoming prepared a big meal to recharge me."

"Hehehe, then I'll hurry up and buy it and go back to cook a big meal for Nuna, so that Nuna can eat a delicious meal as soon as she gets home."

"Aigoo, Haoming is the best!" Lin Yoona said in a cute and charming voice, which even her manager couldn't stand.

"Hey, Yoona, we're still outside, mind your image!" she reminded her.

Upon hearing this through the phone, Zhou Haoming couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Noona, how can you act cute through the phone? You can act cute to me when we meet in person."

"Oh, I think you're really asking for it, aren't you?"

"Noona, where did you learn that from? You're really good at it!" Zhou Haoming said recklessly, seemingly unafraid of death.

"Fine, you just wait and see how I deal with you when I get back!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Haoming saw that he had bought almost everything, so he went to the cashier to pay and then carried the bags home.

As Zhou Haoming busied himself in the kitchen, the keypad door clicked. "Nuna's back!" Zhou Haoming asked without turning around.

Seeing that he hadn't received a reply after a long time, Zhou Haoming turned around and was dumbfounded.

It wasn't Lim Yoon-ah who came back, it was Yoo Jimin!

"Jimin, you... why are you here?" Zhou Haoming didn't know what to say.

Liu Zhimin felt that he should meet with Zhou Haoming again to clarify things after receiving a solo song written specifically for him by Zhou Haoming.

As soon as they arrived at Zhou Haoming's house, they heard Zhou Haoming asking, "Is Nuna back?"

Who could be the source of his anger? Only Yoona!

  

Liu Zhimin clenched his fists, staring intently at Zhou Haoming, who felt a chill run down his spine. "Um, I had plans to have dinner at my house with Yoona and Noona. Why did you suddenly show up?"

Liu Zhimin didn't answer, just stared blankly at Zhou Haoming.

Seeing Liu Zhimin's expression, Zhou Haoming felt a pang of pain in his heart. He quickly walked up to her and said gently, "I'm asking you a question. Why did you suddenly decide to come over?"

Upon suddenly hearing Zhou Haoming's gentle voice, Liu Zhimin instantly broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably: "Why did you do this to me! Do you know how much I've suffered these past few days! Do you know?!"

As she spoke, she threw herself into Zhou Haoming's arms, leaving Zhou Haoming somewhat bewildered and unsure of what to do with his hands.

Just then, the keypad door rang again. "Honey! I'm home!" The voice came before the door even opened.

Lin Yoona was excitedly looking forward to her first date with Zhou Haoming, but the moment the door opened, she even doubted whether there was something wrong with her eyes!

Liu Zhimin? What's she doing at home? And why is she crying in her boyfriend's arms? What's going on?

Seeing Zhou Haoming's helpless expression, Lin Yoona walked straight in and pulled Liu Zhimin away from Zhou Haoming.

"Jimin, what are you doing?!"

On the other side, Liu Zhimin had already guessed the current relationship between Zhou Haoming and Lin Yoona after hearing what Lin Yoona said when she entered the room.

"What am I doing? Yoona sunbaenim, is it really right for you to act like this, knowing full well it's wrong?"

"How long have I been separated from Zhou Haoming and you're already so eager to be with him?" Liu Zhimin questioned Lin Yun'er.

"Moragu? What do you call me being a third party? Zhou Haoming is single, I'm single, why can't we be together? Do you think you're a married couple? Do you have a one-month cooling-off period like when you get divorced?" Lin Yoona retorted without holding back.

"Yes, it seems we still can't compare to our seniors who've had more experience over the years; they know how to take advantage of others' misfortunes!"

"Jimin, let's be realistic, okay? You broke up with Zhou Haoming, so you can't let him find a new girlfriend? Don't be so naive!"

"I didn't forbid him from finding another girlfriend! But we haven't resolved our issues yet, senior!"

"Our breakup was also because of you, senior! You knew perfectly well that Zhou Haoming and I were already together, yet you still dragged him to the amusement park. What was your mentality, senior? Tell me, so I can learn from you," Liu Zhimin said, firing off a barrage of questions.

"We were just siblings back then! What's wrong with an older sister asking her younger brother to go to the amusement park with her? Are you so insecure about yourself? One of the five girls? If you're so worried that I'll steal your boyfriend, then why did you break up with him?" Im Yoona didn't back down.

Seeing the situation escalating, Zhou Haoming quickly stepped forward and said, "Can you all stop arguing?"

"Zhimin, this is my fault. I didn't handle the relationship well at the time, which made you feel insecure. I'm sorry!" Zhou Haoming apologized to Liu Zhimin.

"Then you should say less."

"Zhou Haoming, I'm asking you right now, what do you mean by this?!" Liu Zhimin questioned Zhou Haoming.

"What does it matter? Zhou Haoming is my boyfriend now, what do you think this is?" Lin Yoona quickly replied.

Seeing that Liu Zhimin remained unmoved, her gaze fixed intently on him, Zhou Haoming sighed. "That's right, I'm already with Nuna. It's over, Zhimin."

Liu Zhimin's straight back stiffened as if he had been shot, his eyes filled with tears, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Haoming was heartbroken, but he knew that the only way to end things now was to make a clean break, otherwise it would be bad for both of them. So he hardened his heart and said, "I've explained everything that needed to be explained, Jimin-ssi. Is there anything else?"

Liu Zhimin stared at Zhou Haoming in astonishment. "Zhimin-xi? You called me Zhimin-xi?"

"Yes, it's over between us. From now on, we can only be considered superior and subordinate," Zhou Haoming replied, taking a deep breath.

Liu Zhimin swayed involuntarily, and Lin Yun'er quickly grabbed her.

Liu Zhimin turned to look at Lin Yoona, tears streaming down his face, "Then I wish Yoona unnie and Zhou Haoming xi happiness!"

After saying that, he pulled away from Lin Yoona's hand, turned around and opened the door. With a thud, Liu Zhimin slammed the door and left.

Zhou Haoming and Lin Yun'er remained silent.
