The peninsula spans mountains and seas just for you.

Krystal received a long-distance call from her parents across the ocean, in which they told her to come back to San Francisco and spend time with Jessica when she had time.

After a week of hectic work schedules that could be described as a "deathly journey," Krystal boarded a flight from Shanghai to San Francisco without a moment's rest.

The Outer Sunset District of San Francisco, this is Krystal's home in San Francisco.

This is a unique area of ​​San Francisco, renowned for its stunning sunset views.

This area has many unique features, such as being right next to the majestic Golden Gate Bridge to the north and the vast Pacific Ocean to the west, with picturesque and breathtaking scenery all around.

This place not only boasts a good school system and convenient public transportation, but also a pleasant and leisurely living atmosphere, as well as a wide variety of cuisines from around the world, allowing people to fully enjoy a feast for the taste buds brought by diverse cultures.

The two sisters helped their parents buy this cozy new home last year. The area is quite safe, making the family feel secure and comfortable.

When Krystal rushed home, her mother, Li Jingshu, had already prepared a sumptuous meal for her.

She hugged her mother happily and acted like a little child.

"Where's Jessica? Why isn't she out for dinner?" Krystal asked, hugging her mother and looking around.

"She's in her room. Go and call her," Li Jingshu said softly, glancing in the direction of Jessica's room.

Krystal ran cheerfully towards Jessica's room; she was always in a particularly good mood whenever she returned home.

The door to the room was open, and she immediately saw Jessica wearing loose pajamas, leaning back in a comfortable recliner, wearing black-rimmed glasses, engrossed in a book, with a serene expression on her face.

"Jessica, I'm back! Did you miss me?" Krystal playfully knocked on the open door. When she saw her sister turn around and look at her, she ran over and hugged Jessica tightly, snuggling up to her affectionately.

At home, they always call each other by their first names, only calling each other "older sister" when they are on the peninsula.

Jessica looked at Krystal with a beaming smile, her eyes full of affection. "Why are you back? Have you finished your schedule?"

"You two come out for dinner, we can talk after you finish eating." The two sisters hadn't had enough of their sweet talk when Li Jingshu interrupted them at the door.

"Okay, Mom." Krystal pouted and pulled her sister up. "Jessica, have you gained weight?"

Jessica smiled but didn't answer her. The two held hands and left the room together, sitting down at the dining table in the living room.

At the dinner table, Li Jingshu watched Krystal chatter away while eating, and her mood improved considerably.

These past few days, she's been secretly racking her brains over Jessica's situation.

"Have you reached an agreement with the company?" Li Jingshu couldn't help but ask, as she rarely inquired about Jessica's work.

"It's settled. We'll take a year off, and the contract will be extended for another year," Jessica replied calmly when she heard her mother's question.

Upon hearing this, Krystal had a whole host of questions she wanted to ask, but Jessica shook her head to stop her.

"Let's talk about this after we eat. Let's eat first." Jessica glanced at Krystal. She didn't like to talk much while eating, a habit she developed while living with Li Qingshan.

After finishing their meal, the two sat down on the backyard veranda and quietly gazed at the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.

Their mother went out, leaving only the two sisters at home.

"What? You broke up with your brother-in-law? Why? He's a great guy." Krystal was very confused when she heard the news of Jessica and Li Qingshan's breakup.

The two sisters started chatting, and Jessica completely opened up, talking to Krystal about everything.

"So I'm going to have a nephew soon?" Krystal's feelings were very complicated. She herself was still a child, how could she be going to become an aunt so soon?

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet." Jessica gently touched her lower abdomen, her eyes full of determination. She had decided to give birth to this child.

Krystal was actually a little confused as to why Jessica wanted to leave Li Qingshan, but she didn't offer her opinion.

However, seeing that Jessica is doing well now, she felt much more at ease.

The two sisters huddled close together. "So, what's the company's official announcement?"

"The company will announce that I'm recuperating, and we'll confirm it via video link at the concert." Jessica feels very relaxed now, free from work pressure and too many complicated thoughts.

But when I go to sleep at night, I can't help but think of Lee Cheong-san, my home in Seoul, and that warm embrace.

"How am I supposed to face him when I see him in the future?" Krystal was conflicted. Li Qingshan had always been very good to her, but because of Jessica's situation, she felt a little resentful towards him.

"I'm married to him, you should call him brother-in-law. He's been so good to you, and now you don't even call him brother-in-law anymore, you little ingrate."

Jessica gently tapped Krystal's head with her finger. Li Qingshan was indeed very good to Krystal.

"So you're just going to let Yoona unnie have your brother-in-law like that?"

Jessica didn't answer Krystal's question. She just smiled and gently brushed her sister's hair behind her ear before looking at the bridge in the distance. She didn't have many thoughts at the moment; all she wanted was to give birth to her child safely.

In Seoul on the peninsula, at SM Entertainment in Apgujeong.

The network department was filled with senior company executives. Just now, SM Entertainment suddenly announced on its official website that Jessica was temporarily suspending her activities.

"Girls' Generation member Jessica Jung is temporarily suspending activities for a period of time due to personal reasons. Due to privacy concerns, the specific reasons cannot be disclosed to the public. The company and all Girls' Generation members await Jessica Jung's return."

The news was released without any warning, causing an immediate uproar. Many media outlets speculated without any basis whether Jessica had left Girls' Generation.

Two hours later, Kim Young-min instructed the network department to release a second message.

Jessica personally filmed a video in which she stated that due to her own illness, she needs to undergo treatment in the United States for a period of time, and will return to the group after she has recovered.

This news instantly calmed the emotions of countless fans and public opinion. The media was just about to launch an in-depth investigation when this news suppressed their efforts.

A potentially major incident was successfully averted, and Kim Young-min couldn't help but admire Lee Soo-man; experience truly matters.

This was actually Lee Soo-man's idea. He first released an announcement to test the public's reaction. If the public opinion was against him, he would then release the video. This move was indeed brilliant.

Other members of Girls' Generation were also repeatedly asked about Jessica during interviews.

They all replied that Jessica had not left the group; she was simply taking a break to recover and would return once she was in good condition.

Li Qingshan embarked on his journey through China, with his first stop being the capital of Guangdong Province.

Upon arrival, he found a hotel to stay in and then spent half a month successfully resolving the issues of obtaining car and motorcycle driver's licenses.

Over the next month, he carefully researched the places he was not allowed to go, since he was a foreign national and some places had strict restrictions.

His itinerary was to travel west along the southern coast to Ruili, then north along Sichuan and Shaanxi to the far north, and then return south along the coast, leaving the Central Plains region for last.

He bought a Ford Raptor and a cruiser motorcycle.

Li Qingshan chooses to travel by car in winter, but in spring and summer, he embarks on his journey by motorcycle.

Along the way, he encountered all sorts of extremely dangerous weather conditions.

There were torrential downpours, hailstones as dense as beans, devastating typhoons, and even rolling mudslides.

He was in extremely dangerous situations several times, almost on the verge of death.

But he not only actively participated in local disaster relief efforts, but also stood up for what was right when he saw injustice.

He delved into the origins and history of ethnic minority customs and tasted and evaluated the unique delicacies from various regions.

His footprints can be found in many famous historical sites across China. He also made special trips to visit martial arts masters in various places, humbly seeking their advice and learning from them.

Whenever he arrives at a famous historical site, he sincerely invites local scholars to give him a detailed explanation of the site's origins and historical background.

His videos went viral on YouTube, and many countries used clips from his videos to introduce China.

Li Qingshan was even interviewed by China's national radio station.

His videos feature stunning scenery, making viewers feel as if they are traveling with him, creating an addictive and irresistible experience.

On that small screen, his personal perspective is presented most of the time.

His videos have become a source of spiritual sustenance for many people who yearn for freedom but are trapped in reality.

Through his images, viewers can briefly escape the trivialities and troubles of life when they are exhausted. His lens is like a key to open the door to freedom, bringing people a brief moment of pleasure.

The tips from the videos alone amount to an astonishing sum.

During this period, he also accepted some gigs, which were all delivered to his next destination by courier. He only needed to film a few shots in the video.

After a year and a half, he still hadn't been able to complete the task in the Central Plains region. He felt a bit tired and wanted to stop and rest for a while.

At this moment, Li Qingshan's temperament was completely different from before. His hair had grown to shoulder length, and he had become much darker, but his energy and spirit were excellent.

During this period, many things also happened on the peninsula.

Yuri went public with her relationship in December 2014, but the man's appearance was not revealed. Reports indicated that he was a public official.

Tiffany announced her breakup with Nichkhun in May 2015.

In August 2015, Lim Yoon-a announced her breakup with Lee Seung-gi.

Taeyeon announced her breakup with Byun Baekhyun in October 2015.

Jessica quietly participated in Girls' Generation's latest album, "Lion Heart," released in September 2015.

The album's trailer is full of mystery. After the figures of the eight people are shown, one figure is blurred at the end. Then, a high-pitched and loud voice pierces the sky, as if foreshadowing something.

The fans instantly went into a frenzy, and those with keen insight immediately understood that their King of Cards was about to make a glorious return.
