Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 64 Another bowl of kelp soup.

January 1, 2017.

Kim Min-yeon's sixteenth birthday.

Mingyan chose the same approach as his niece did that day and secretly got up early in the morning.

To some extent, his cooking skills are not much better than Kim Min-woon's. Before this little guy came, he rarely cooked by himself. The most he could do was cook instant noodles or something.

The uncle and nephew really look alike.

Tsk, how is kelp soup made?

……

Jin Min-woon didn't sleep very soundly.

The little girl didn't know what she was expecting, but when she vaguely heard some movement outside the room, she immediately jumped out of bed.

The girl carefully put her ear to the door, as if she was afraid of disturbing the person on the other side.

This should be the sound of my uncle secretly preparing something.

Perhaps because he had done it before, Jin Minxuan could even simulate Mingyan's specific steps in his mind: first be stunned for a while, think about what to prepare, and then start to practice.

I lit the fire, and when it was on, I realized I hadn't added any oil. The kelp seemed a little old...

For beginners, there are problems everywhere.

Jin Min-yeon felt an inexplicable warmth surge in his heart when his uncle remembered his birthday.

Although it is not a difficult day to remember, Mingyan has been filming recently and has to attend some year-end activities, so it is normal even if he forgot.

The little guy had a faint expectation in his heart, but he didn't want to say it directly.

She listened to the faint sounds coming from outside, mixed with explicit and implicit curses, and she gradually felt sleepy. All the sounds seemed like a lullaby.

"Hehe~"

Jin Min-woon yawned loudly.

She rubbed her eyes and wanted to continue listening for a while, but the second yawn made the little girl give up.

Forget it, I'll just take a nap. I don't have to go to school today anyway.

Just once.

……

"Min-hyun, Min-hyun."

When Jin Min-yeon woke up again, it was already past nine in the morning.

She took a nap for nearly three hours.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" the little girl asked in a daze, her brain had not yet fully started up.

Ming Yan's voice came: "Get up and eat. Don't stay in bed today."

"Okay, I'll get up right away."

Jin Minyao's little face turned red.

After today, I will be a sixteen-year-old girl, and it is not a good thing to be scolded by my uncle for staying in bed.

Damn it, I just wanted to take a nap, how come time passed so quickly?

When Jin Minyue came out after putting on his clothes, he smelled a strong fragrance, which made the little guy a little confused.

A pot of kelp soup...not that bad.

"Minyan, you have to drink kelp soup on your birthday. Come and try it." Mingyan looked calm and pretended nothing had happened.

A good actor should be able to get into the role at any time.

Jin Minyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and stared at Mingyan: "Uncle, you didn't order takeout, did you?"

"Uh..." Ming Yan was actually looking forward to his niece's reaction, but he didn't expect the little girl to ask such a question: "Of course not, I made this myself."

What he didn't say was that this pot of kelp soup had been made more than once.

To make the perfect kelp soup for Kim Min-yeon, Mingyan strives for perfection: the first pot is too salty, the second is not salty but tastes weird, and the third pot, which wastes two ingredients, is okay. Mingyan tries his best.

"Thank you, little uncle~" Jin Minyue was just joking. After all, she heard Mingyan's action.

Neither of them mentioned the last incident. After listening to Kim Ji-soo's advice, Kim Min-woon knew that his uncle must be hiding some past events in his heart that he didn't want to talk about.

Since it wasn't mentioned explicitly, she might as well just pretend it never happened.

Anyway, my uncle wears the scarf I gave him every day.

"Hurry up and sit down and try it to see how it tastes."

Mingyan rubbed his hands.

He is good at other things, but he has no experience in cooking. Kim Min-woon has been buying food more often recently.

Jin Min-woon nodded: "Yeah."

The little guy compared the kelp soup he cooked with Mingyan's in his mind, and finally concluded that his own looked better. Kim Ji-soo also praised him repeatedly at the time.

The thoughts and feelings that the two people put into the food... should be similar.

Kim Min-woon tasted the soup with a spoon and smacked his lips a few times.

"Minyan?" Mingyan rubbed his fingers a few times. When he was nervous, he would make some unconscious little movements.

Mingyan has grown up, and besides his two good friends, Jin Minyan is the first relative who lives with him.

At first, he was a little skeptical about his ability to take care of the little guy, but he still tried his best clumsily.

Now, three months have passed and everything seems to be fine.

Accepting others may not be that difficult after all.

"Hmm..." Jin Minhee deliberately hesitated for a moment, observing the expression on Mingyan's face before revealing a naughty smile of success: "Uncle, it tastes not bad~"

"Really?"

“It tastes a little worse than what my mom makes, but it’s about the same as what I made that day.”

Kim Min-woon gave a fair evaluation.

She and Mingyan were both novices in cooking, and they were also newcomers who had to get to know each other carefully.

After this birthday, maybe many things will become different.

"Minyan, when you were making it, did you ever think of adding some ramen seasoning in it?" Mingyan began to share some experiences in making kelp soup with his niece.

The girl looked disgusted: "Huh~"

Adding ramen seasoning to kelp soup, what kind of cult is that.

Ming Yan wasn't very happy with the little guy's expression and argued, "I don't remember which variety show said that ramen seasoning packets are all-purpose seasonings."

"Uncle, variety shows are just variety shows. Home-cooked food should be prepared more seriously."

Jin Min-yeon gave instructions in a condescending manner.

Mingyan and Jin Minyao discussed the principles of making kelp soup and happily ended the little guy's birthday breakfast.

"Minyan, when are your friends coming over?" Mingyan had already told his niece to invite her friends over. Children of this age like to be in a lively atmosphere.

"It should be soon." Jin Minyu glanced at the time: "Cai Xuan, Cai Yuan, and Ning Yijio."

"Your Chinese friend, right?"

Jin Min-woon nodded: "Well, uncle, who did you invite?"

"Jisu, Nayeon, and..."

"Who else?"

When the girl wanted to continue asking questions, the doorbell rang.

The guests have arrived.
