Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!" As Zhou Haoming placed the last dish on the table, Ningning was already seated, preparing the bowls and chopsticks. "Unnie, stop being such a dutiful wife! The food's all served, don't leave the dishes there, let the dishwasher do it!"

Upon hearing Ningning's words, Liu Zhimin's face immediately turned red. "Hey! Ning Yizhuo, what are you talking about, this virtuous wife and loving mother? Haoming works so hard cooking for us, shouldn't we help him out?"

"Oh right, right, you should help him. Anyway, some people would love for you to help them." "Speaking of which, someone's cooking skills are really good. Sweet and sour pork, sauerkraut and pork hot pot, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers and eggplant, and chicken stew with mushrooms. Wow, Haoming, you made all my favorite dishes! Saranghaeyo!" Ningning said with shining eyes.

"Alright, alright. I already said this farewell dinner this afternoon will be made with the flavors of your hometown, so it's definitely going to be whatever you like. I'm MY, I know exactly what kind of Northeastern dishes you like." Zhou Haoming said smugly. "Jimin-ssi, you should try it too. I guarantee you'll be craving my Northeastern food every day in Seoul from now on."

"??? Dude, are you already openly being a pervert towards my unnie? What do you mean by 'I love your Northeastern cuisine'? Are there no Northeastern restaurants in Seoul?" Ningning said, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Take a bite and you'll understand why I'm so confident."

"Ugh, bro, I was wrong. Why don't you quit running the guesthouse and come to Seoul with us to be a chef? We'll pay you a salary, okay? Oppa, wow, this sweet and sour pork is absolutely amazing!!"

"Haoming, your Northeastern cuisine is really delicious. I've been to several Northeastern restaurants with Ningning before, but none of them are as good as yours." Liu Zhimin said, then picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffed it into her mouth, filling her mouth with a large piece of sweet and sour pork in an instant.

"I never talk big. If I say it's delicious, it's definitely delicious. Ningning, are you convinced?" "Yes, yes, yes, I'll accept whatever Haoming says now! Since you're convinced, then come to Seoul with me, how about it, how about it, um!" Ningning's mouth was already full, but she still answered.

"I'm definitely going to Seoul. After all, my family left me some shares in a company there. Don't worry, as soon as I get to Seoul, I'll call you and make sure you get the full hospitality you deserve!"

"Jimin-ssi, I don't know if you'll welcome me. After all, I'm still a complete stranger in Seoul. What if I get bullied?" "Oh, add my number first. Call me when you get to Seoul. Ningning rarely checks her phone."

"Unnie, are you already planning to leave me behind and go have some alone time? Besides, I don't look at my phone, but the four of us are always glued to our phones." Ningning immediately retorted to Liu Zhimin after hearing this.

"Ahem, Ningning, if you want to eat my cooking, then please be sensible. As for what kind of sensible thing, you know. Seumida!" "You guys! You're really going too far," Ningning said, and then ran to the living room to play with Qianyi.

  

"Haoming, don't tease Ningning like that. Be careful she gets really angry with you, and then you won't be able to appease her." "It's okay, it's okay. I can just cook her a few more meals. She's just a little foodie at heart."

"What time is your flight tomorrow? Do you need me to take you to the airport?"

"No need, we've already booked a car. Our flight is tomorrow at noon, and we need to start rehearsing for the concert as soon as we get back to Seoul."

"Then remember to set your alarm. Oh, and I have a really useful patch in my room that you can use if you hurt your ankle. It works really well. I'll get it for you when you leave. Don't overwork yourself when you get back to Seoul. It's important to balance work and rest. And don't starve yourself to lose weight. Proper nutrition is very important. Besides, I think you're perfectly fine as you are now. There's no need for you to lose any more weight," Zhou Haoming said, nagging like an old woman.

"Okay, I know. You also remember you have to come to the concert, it's a milestone for us. I hope... you can come and witness this moment with me," she said shyly.

"You two, that's enough, stop pretending I don't exist. It's sickeningly sweet, ugh!" Ningning scratched Qianyi's stomach with one hand and pretended to vomit with the other. "Unnie, we should go, we still need to pack our bags."

"Okay, okay, Haoming-xi, it's a date then, see you in Tokyo!" Liu Zhimin said into the phone, holding Ningning's hand.

"Don't worry, see you in Tokyo!"

After seeing Liu Zhimin and Ningning off, Zhou Haoming, holding Qianqian, thought to himself, "Should I hire a housekeeper? I'm going to Tokyo, and then I'll have to go to Seoul. Who knows how long it will take to get back? I can't leave Qianqian in foster care forever." He then took out his phone, opened an app, and started recruiting housekeepers. Soon, he received several applications.

"Hmm, this one's not bad. Zhou Xinyue, she's from the same clan."

After arranging the interview time, Zhou Haoming went to wash up and prepare to rest.

The next day, at 10:30 AM, Zhou Haoming was woken by an alarm clock. He opened his eyes and looked at his phone; he had received a friend request on WeChat. The profile picture was a small white dog. Zhou Haoming clicked on the request and accepted it. The other party then sent a voice message:

"Haomingxi, this is a WeChat account that Ningning set up for me last night. You're the first friend I have. Let's chat on Kakao when you get to Seoul. By the way, I might be a little slow to reply to WeChat messages, so please don't mind."

My God, is this Liu Zhimin? What have I done to deserve this? Zhou Haoming sighed inwardly. Reply:

"It's such a hassle for Jimin to create a WeChat account. Have you finished packing your luggage? Do you need me to drive over and help you with your luggage to the airport?"

"No need, we've already left. You told me to take care of myself yesterday, and you should too. If I see you've lost weight in Tokyo, I'll have to ask you how you've been taking care of yourself."

The more Zhou Haoming looked at her, the more she resembled his girlfriend. His mouth stretched into a wide grin as he replied with a silly chuckle:

"Yes, yes, sir! I promise to take good care of yourself, and Jimin-ssi, you take good care of yourself too. Remember to warm up before practicing dance, and don't get injured. I'm really looking forward to seeing you shine on the Tokyo Dome stage!! Fighting!"

Seeing that the other party had not replied for a long time, Zhou Haoming guessed that the other party was also busy, so he started to wash up. After all, the housekeeper applicant would also come to apply at noon today. If she was suitable, he would have to start teaching her how to do things in different places and make plans for his future in Seoul.
