The peninsula spans mountains and seas just for you.

After Sunny put the child to sleep, she came downstairs, took the wine, and sat down next to Lim Yoon-ah. Li Qingshan went to the kitchen to make two braised dishes to go with the wine.

"Are you going all out?" Sunny asked as she poured the wine, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern.

Hyoyeon also looked at Im Yoona, wanting to hear what she had to say, her expression focused and expectant.

"I guess so. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is the father and daughter. There's no need to struggle with such a simple choice."

Yoona poured herself a full glass of wine and toasted with her two sisters. Her smile was relaxed and carefree, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden, and she exuded a sense of relief.

"It's not that serious. Look at Kim Tae-hee and Jun Ji-hyun, what impact does marriage have on them? Marriage and having children aren't as terrible as you think. Times have changed."

Hyoyeon's mouth moves faster than her brain, but sometimes what she says makes a lot of sense. She's not stupid, just not very smart.

To be honest, after hearing what she said, the last bit of worry in Lin Yoona's heart disappeared.

At this moment, Li Qingshan came out carrying two plates, one containing braised beef and the other braised chicken feet. There was also a small bowl containing fried peanuts on the plates.

"Are you trying to drink us to death by serving these dishes?" Sunny's eyes lit up when she saw the snacks to go with the drinks, her excitement overflowing.

"If you beat me in drinking today, you can have the key to the wine cellar." Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"Ugh, this is so unfair!" Sunny slammed her hand on the table, making a loud bang. "Hyoyeon, go!"

Hyoyeon pointed at herself with a bewildered look, "Do you think I'm really stupid? None of the three of us drank from him last time."

"Then call Yuri now and tell her to come over tomorrow. The three of us will fight him."

"If you want to fight, fight yourself. Wasn't it embarrassing enough last time?" Hyoyeon didn't want to repeat the same mistake and embarrass herself again.

When Yoona heard about what happened last time, she laughed so hard she almost fell over, her body shaking with laughter.

I ate so many mulberries that my mouth turned black. I thought I had alcohol poisoning. An ambulance was on its way. It almost made the news.

Li Qingshan found it funny when he thought about it; the ambulance was called back halfway there, and the scene was still comical to think about.

Lin Yoona turned and went into the house, and soon came out with a guitar and handed it to Li Qingshan.

"Oppa, I want to hear that song from when we first got together," Yoona said with a sweet smile, her voice gentle and full of anticipation.

Lim Yoona only calls Lee Cheong-san "Oppa" on specific occasions, such as when she is very emotional, at which time her eyes are full of affection.

Li Qingshan adjusted his voice, "I only care about you."

"Where would I be if I hadn't met you?"

How are you living your life? Should you cherish it?

Only Yoona and Hyoyeon can understand this song. Sunny has heard it, but doesn't know the meaning of the lyrics.

Yoona's eyes sparkled as she listened; she loved this song and another one, and her face beamed with a happy smile.

Li Qingshan took a sip of wine and, without waiting for Lin Yun'er's request, continued singing the next song.

"I've traveled across the ocean to see you."

"I used half a year's savings to travel across the ocean to see you."

"I even stopped breathing when we met so that we could have made this reunion."

"I have practiced repeatedly, but words have never been able to express my feelings."

To express even a tiny fraction of a percent, for this regret.

I thought about it again and again at night, and couldn't fall asleep.

Li Qingshan gazed at the starry night sky, his mind filled with memories. He glanced at Lin Yun'er, his eyes brimming with affection.

Memories always accumulate slowly, and they can never be erased from my heart.

For your promise, in my most desperate moment

Yoona and Lim Yoon-a sang a duet with great chemistry. As the two watched the couple sing together, a sweet atmosphere filled the air, warm and touching.

Both of them recalled their first meeting.

Memory rollback.

It was an evening in June 2006 in Seoul on the Korean Peninsula.

Li Qingshan had just finished a mission and had nowhere to go, so he took a walk along the Han River after dinner.

He was an orphan, I would say, because he knew who his parents were and where they were, but he didn't go looking for them.

When he was 8 years old, he accompanied his parents and sister to the United States to send his sister to high school.

The family planned to have a reunion dinner before returning to China with their youngest son, but they were caught in a gang shootout and surrounded by the police.

Gangsters took hostages. The parents escaped with their eldest daughter, but their youngest son was kidnapped.

After the gangsters successfully escaped, they didn't harm the child but left him by the roadside.

Li Qingshan watched helplessly as his parents abandoned him, but he did not go to find them.

He wandered the streets until he came to a place where everyone spoke Mandarin, and later learned that it was called Chinatown.

He wandered around the area, becoming a little beggar and making a living by scavenging garbage in the kitchens of Chinese restaurants.

One night, while wandering the streets, he fainted from hunger and was rescued by a middle-aged man from an incense and candle shop.

The owner of the incense and candle shop is named Chen Guofu. He is a Taoist priest who is half real and half fake. He makes a living by performing rituals and selling incense and candles.

Chen Guofu took in Li Qingshan, who was 50 years old at the time, all alone, and had no children.

Li Qingshan, who was rescued, stayed at the shop and was eventually adopted.

Over the course of their long-term relationship, Chen Guofu treated him very well. He helped him get his household registration, sent him to school, taught him ancient Chinese martial arts, and treated him like his own son.

Li Qingshan was exceptionally intelligent. He began learning martial arts at the age of 10, and by the time he was 16, even his adoptive father was no match for him.

That year, he discovered his adoptive father's secret: his adoptive father was an assassin.

In an unexpected turn of events, he helped his adoptive father resolve a problem and completed an assassination mission.

After that, he couldn't stop. His adoptive father advised him that once he entered this line of work, his life and death were no longer in his own hands.

However, in order to allow his adoptive father to live out his retirement in peace, Li Qingshan took his place, and his adoptive father became the intermediary.

He came to the peninsula this time because someone offered a high price to assassinate a member of parliament who was only 18 years old at the time.

He has been here for three days and is verifying the target's situation.

After dinner tonight, I came to the Han River, grabbed a few cans of beer, and sat on a bench by the river, watching the water flow.

A few days ago, in order to conceal my identity, I went to an interview at a company called SM Entertainment to apply for a trainee position, and I was accepted.

He took out a harmonica and played a memorable tune called "Monologue".

The music was melodious and beautiful, intertwining loneliness and desolation, sadness and sorrow, as if telling the story deep in his heart.

Unbeknownst to him, two girls nearby came over after hearing the harmonica music.

He was lost in his memories and didn't notice the two approaching.

The two girls stood quietly to the side, listening intently, and sensed the loneliness and sadness in the music, becoming deeply captivated.

After Li Qingshan finished playing the song, he came to his senses and found two people standing beside and behind him. He turned around and their eyes met.

One of the taller girls spoke to him with a smile, but he didn't understand; he was still learning Korean.

The short girl realized the boy didn't understand, so she asked him again in English.

"Hello, don't you understand Korean?"

"Hello, I'm from America, and I don't understand this yet," Li Qingshan replied calmly, his tone unperturbed.

These two are Yoona and Jessica. They came for a walk along the Han River after dinner.

After introducing themselves, they discovered that they were from the same company.

They were all young people, had common topics, and quickly became acquainted.

With Jessica translating in the middle, the three chatted happily, their laughter echoing along the riverbank.

"Oppa Aoyama, what's the name of the tune you just played?" Yoona asked him playfully. She really liked the tune, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"I don't know either." Li Qingshan smiled and opened a can of beer. "I heard of it when I was a kid, but I don't remember the name."

And so the three chatted until very late, as the night deepened, but no one noticed.

Lim Yoona thought Li Qingshan was tall and handsome. Although their company was full of handsome men and beautiful women, Li Qingshan gave people a very special feeling.

He gives off a very mature vibe, not at all like someone his age. Although he's smiling, you can sense that he's keeping his distance from people, as if there's an invisible barrier between them.

Jessica felt that the boy had a story to tell and was eager to find out more.

She found that Li Qingshan was unlike other young men. Generally speaking, boys would try to show off in front of two beautiful young girls, but he wouldn't. He also spoke vaguely and was hard to understand.

The two girls have been trainees at the company for many years and have just received notice that they will debut next year.

They shared their experiences as trainees with Li Qingshan, who listened attentively. He found these insights helpful for his mission and silently kept them in mind.

"It's getting late, let me take you home." Li Qingshan glanced at his watch and realized it was already very late; the hour hand pointed to the dead of night.

The three got up and started walking, with the girl leading the way.

Jessica and her friends usually only take this route during the day, not at night, so it doesn't matter since someone is giving them a ride today.

The three walked along the path, chatting and laughing. The dim lighting and narrow alley created a tranquil atmosphere.

Suddenly, Li Qingshan stopped. The two men saw him stop and were about to ask what was wrong when Li Qingshan pointed to the dark area ahead.

Upon closer inspection, the two discovered a person standing in the shadows, wearing a mask and holding a knife.

Jessica grabbed Yoona and prepared to turn and run, but Li Qingshan suddenly walked forward, his steps still at the same pace as before, neither too fast nor too slow, but with a sense of determination.

Lin Yoona tried to grab Li Qingshan, but missed, watching him slowly walk into the darkness.

Li Qingshan approached the masked man, but neither of them spoke.

Seeing that the man was still approaching, the masked man attacked, stabbing Li Qingshan in the neck with his knife.

Li Qingshan initially thought they were petty thugs who were robbing people and was prepared to knock them out, but he sensed murderous intent.

Then we can't hold back.

Li Qingshan moved forward half a step ahead of the others, raised his left hand to deflect the incoming knife, and swiftly and powerfully struck the masked man's nose with his right hand. The movement was seamless, without any hesitation, and he turned back to the two women in one smooth motion.

Yoona and Jessica watched as Lee Cheong-san walked into the darkness and returned in less than three seconds, his steps and figure still as composed as ever. They heard the sound of a knife falling to the ground.

"Keep moving forward, don't stop, and don't look back." Li Qingshan walked back to the two women and led them forward, his voice steady and firm.
