Peninsula: The Great Producer

"Click"

Taking photos requires skill.

Lee Ji-eun took her phone back from Ki Yo-gu and looked at the photos in her album of the group photo that Ki Yo-gu had just taken across the dining table while holding the phone high. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Oppa's photography skills are really amazing."

Without even thinking, Qi Yaojiu immediately said, "Take good care of your phone."

"what?"

Realizing what he meant, Qi Yaojiu explained, "I mean, even if you don't use this phone anymore, you should still keep it safe."

Lee Ji-eun nodded and said, "Of course, this phone was a gift from Oppa for my birthday two years ago, and I really like it."

Qi Yaojiu smiled.

The LG phone that Lee Ji-eun is using now was indeed bought two years ago as the Qiyao 9. At that time, she saw an advertisement filmed by FX and the flip phone design was also very popular. However, it has gradually been replaced by full touchscreen smartphones.

Pay the bill.

The kimchi and pork belly hot pot was alright, sour and spicy, appetizing and good with rice. However, the kimchi that the restaurant gave us was a bit too salty. I couldn't get used to eating it on its own. I also admire Lee Ji-eun a bit. If Lee Ji-eun were to become a mukbang (eating broadcast) celebrity in the future, she would definitely be good. She is definitely a foodie.

The second destination was the shopping mall.

As Lee Ji-eun boarded the bus, she realized she hadn't had a chance to text her aunt in advance to let her know that she and Ki Yo-gu were coming to Gwangju. She was about to send the message before Ki Yo-gu boarded the bus, so she buried her head in her phone and started typing away.

"bang"

The sound of the car door closing startled Lee Ji-eun. Feeling a little guilty, she hid her phone behind her right leg and casually started a conversation, saying, "Oppa, can I post the photos from earlier in the chat room?"

Qi Yaojiu got into the driver's seat and said, "Sure."

Lee Ji-eun responded with an "Oh".

Qi Yaojiu glanced at the passenger seat and said, "Jie-eun, get me some tissues."

"tissue?"

Lee Ji-eun muttered as she searched for tissues.

Qi Yaojiu pointed to the location of the storage box and said, "It's in there."

Lee Ji-eun almost never touched anything in Qi Yaojiu's car, including the storage box in front of the passenger seat and the small mirror inside the car.

Upon opening the box, Lee Ji-eun was also diligently searching for toilet paper.

But after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any toilet paper. They asked doubtfully, "Oppa, are you sure it's in here?"

"probably"

"But I didn't see it. It's in my bag, waiting for me..."

Qi Yaojiu interrupted, "Didn't you see it? It's a white box, the rectangular kind."

The box wasn't very big to begin with, so Li Zhi'en could naturally see the white rectangular box that Qi Yaojiu had mentioned. She hadn't paid attention to it before because she was only thinking about finding toilet paper. But now that her attention was focused on the small rectangular box, she immediately noticed something.

I don't know how the nasal sound appeared.

Lee Ji-eun touched the rectangular box and muttered, "Oppa, what's this? It's not tissues, is it?"

In fact, Lee Ji-eun had already guessed some of it.

Qi Yaojiu reminded him, "Why don't you take it out and take a look?"

Lee Ji-eun picked up the box; it was rather heavy. The logo on the box, which had been obscured by its tilted placement, was now visible.

An incomplete apple image was printed in the center of the box.

Lee Ji-eun's heart was racing uncontrollably.

People tend to play dumb when they are happy and looking forward to something, and Lee Ji-eun is no exception.

She knew exactly what was in the box, but still asked, "Oppa, what is it? A phone?"

Qi Yaojiu turned to the side and said, "Open it and take a look." Li Zhi'en rummaged through the box and muttered, "Do we really have to open it? It has a protective film on it."

"Just tear it off."

"crash"

After tearing off the protective film, Lee Ji-eun carefully opened the rectangular box.

Throughout the entire process, Lee Ji-eun didn't even dare to breathe deeply.

It seems that at this moment, Lee Ji-eun fell in love with the feeling of unpacking a box.

It's about the size of a hand, rectangular, and has a black body.

It's definitely an iPhone.

This is a brand new 4S phone that was launched in H country at the end of last year.

It looks the same as the previous iPhone 4, but its functions have been greatly improved.

Moreover, this phone is hailed as the absolute ACE among young people; it can function as a phone, a camera, a camcorder, and a laptop.

It also features the iPhone's proprietary smart system, and the key point is that nowadays, owning an iPhone means you're at the forefront of fashion.

Lee Ji-eun sometimes felt a little envious of people around her who used iPhones. Although she never considered buying a new phone to replace her current one, the LG phone that Qi Yaojiu gave her was priceless compared to the iPhone.

I never thought I'd have an iPhone, a 4S, which was a gift from Qiyao Jiu.

Lee Ji-eun looked at Ki Yo-gu happily.

It was truly an instinctive reaction; she immediately opened her arms and wrapped them around Qi Yaojiu's neck, pulling him close to her. She couldn't remember if her lips touched Qi Yaojiu's cheek, but Lee Ji-eun happily cheered in Qi Yaojiu's ear, "Thank you, Oppa, I love you so much."

When he let go, Qi Yaojiu's ears turned red.

Originally, Qi Yaojiu wanted to tease Lee Ji-eun by making her say that it was a new phone after seeing that it was an iPhone.

Before she could even tease her, Lee Ji-eun had already decided that the new phone was a gift from Ki Yo-gu.

And that's exactly what happened. Yesterday, Ki Yo-gu went to the supermarket to buy groceries first, and then went to the first floor of the mall. He originally planned to buy a necklace or something, but he accidentally saw that many young people shopping in the mall were using iPhones. So, before returning to his apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Ki Yo-gu drove to a specialty store and bought the phone.

It was somewhat unexpected that Lee Ji-eun really liked it.

In Qi Yaojiu's mind, most people in H country should prefer to use domestic products, and even Korean beef is so much more expensive than imported beef.

It seems that's not entirely true; the fashion trends that young people pursue are different from the quality of life of the previous generation.

Let's go buy something first.

Lee Ji-eun reluctantly closed the box, fastened her seatbelt, and said, "That's why Oppa told me to keep my current phone safe. Turns out he bought me a new phone. Thank you so much, Oppa."

Her voice was full of coquettish nasal tones. Qi Yaojiu laughed and said, "Don't you realize it yourself?"

"How does it feel?"

"You've had a very nasal tone when you speak from the beginning until now."

Lee Ji-eun tilted her head and looked at Ki Yo-gu, saying, "Really, Awooba?"

Qi Yaojiu deliberately said, "I know, stop doing this. I admit you're cute when you act cute, OK?"

"Really? Am I cute when I act cute?"

"Cute, if this keeps up, I'll start to lose focus while driving."

Lee Ji-eun regained her normal voice and said, "Okay, then I won't act cute anymore. I don't want Oppa to be distracted while driving, nor do I want Oppa to encounter any threats. Oppa, I hope you live a long and healthy life, and stay healthy forever."

Qi Yaojiu replied, "You want to live to be a hundred years old and still receive the gift I give you, right?"

"No, I really hope Oppa lives to be a hundred years old!" (End of Chapter)
