Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 154 If we can't argue with this person, let's run away.

For some reason, Liu Zhimin's eyes were a little red.

"Anyway, I'm not thinking clearly right now, but if it's Shen Yu, once he says it, I'll feel like I'm poisoned and won't be able to tell the difference. I'll just continue according to your ideas."

"I'm perfectly fine, so why do I always feel like you're playing tricks on me?"

Liu Zhimin is impulsive and straightforward.

Perhaps it was because there were too many uncertainties lately that Liu Zhimin felt anxious.

Or maybe she—never mind, why bother analyzing this?

Shen Yu started doing reading comprehension exercises again.

He didn't look away. He wasn't some innocent young man who would feel guilty just because of a few words from a woman.

"I never said anything bad about you. In my heart, Liu Zhimin has always been an outstanding person, which is why I wanted to work with you, isn't that right?"

"Then why—" Liu Zhimin really wanted to know if she had a place in Shen Yu's heart.

"Like—" Shen Yu looked around and saw a bright red apple on the table of a couple.

"Like, I love Jeju oranges, but you? You're the best apple in the whole world."

With her chubby cheeks resembling Shin-chan's, Liu Zhimin leaned closer and deliberately pouted at Shen Yu, saying, "Can't you like apples too?!"

"I like it, isn't that enough?"

Shen Yu slightly avoided her approaching face and gaze.

The unique scent of Yoo Ji-min is a blend of the cool fragrance of lily of the valley.

The aroma of her fragrance overwhelmed the smell of the ramen.

"No way!" Liu Zhimin shook his head vigorously.

Tsk, women really do only slow me down.

Shen Yu tried his best not to enjoy it.

However, it is indeed difficult to correct one's own habits.

Playing with a girl's emotions is hardly the mark of a good man, but he had never been labeled a "good man" before.

If Shen Yu really wanted to provoke her, he would use a different approach.

For example: "I really enjoy being with you, but I want to, or rather, I want to slowly confirm whether this feeling is real, and I want to know if I'm just having a momentary impulse or if it's making you—"

Basically, I'll portray myself as the worst possible person, mainly by establishing the character of a pitiful man troubled by love.

Shen Yu was even certain that Liu Zhimin would fall for this.

Let's end it here for today. Shen Yu can continue to flirt with messages, making unexpected encounters and chance surprises happen frequently, so that Liu Zhimin feels that she is being treated specially, and even feels that Shen Yu's affection for her is unique.

Isn't the ultimate goal of such men always to hit a home run?

Unfortunately, Shen Yu's navigation did not include this destination.

Shen Yu had no way to explain his helplessness to Liu Zhimin.

If Shen Yu were to follow Liu Zhimin's example and bluntly state his thoughts, it wouldn't be communication, but rather making inappropriate advances.

Thinking of this, he reached out and pinched Liu Zhimin's cheek.

The cheek fat that's offered up at the door—it's not fair to take it for granted.

"Misunderstanding?" The previously silent, even somewhat frozen atmosphere was broken in an instant.

"Why does this feel like rice cake?"

The distance between the two, face to face, was shortened, and Liu Zhimin could even feel Shen Yu's breath.

"So, if you encounter a bad man like that, aren't you afraid of being bullied by him?"

'

""

Liu Zhimin reached out and pinched Shen Yu's cheek. "Hmph! Not as cute as my cheeks, which are like rice cakes!"

She looked at Shen Yu with a soft yet firm gaze, "If you are such a bad person, then I have to keep an eye on you even more."

"————" Shen Yu thought that if he rolled a die, the worst that could happen was a 6 or something.

Who would have thought it would be the D20? It was a complete failure!

"If Liu Zhimin isn't suitable, how about Karina?"

At this moment, the word "give up" simply didn't exist in Liu Zhimin's dictionary. "If you like, I can have a different side, like the oranges, apples, and bananas you mentioned!"

Shen Yu sighed helplessly, "So, are you telling me to eat it or not?"

"Why aren't you eating? I already said I'm having a late-night snack, aren't you hungry?"

The ramen on the side was almost cold, and they were still discussing what to eat.

"Besides, didn't I say before that I don't know what that feeling is like? If you really are a bad person, as long as you're willing to teach me a little more gently, I'll follow you."

Liu Zhimin closed his eyes and leaned his whole body forward.

"I'm just a little nervous."

"————" As Shen Yu released his grip, his fingertips seemed to still retain the bouncy feel of Liu Zhimin's cheek.

With her eyes closed, Shen Yu felt that the girl didn't seem very bright.

You were quite witty when we were chatting a few days ago, weren't you?

Shen Yu rubbed his finger against her lips, and Liu Zhimin clearly felt that the touch was wrong. She opened her eyes and looked at him with a hint of coquettishness.

"I wasn't wrong, you're just afraid to get close to me!" The girl felt she had found the reason!

"You're wrong!"

"Huh? Then why do you deliberately tease me when you kiss me!" Liu Zhimin didn't understand, and even wanted to do it again.

"No, what's the point? Using your hand isn't a bad idea, it's just a skin patch anyway."

"So you just want to get closer to me?" Liu Zhimin asked, looking at Shen Yu.

"That works too," Shen Yu nodded.

"Let's go to your apartment then!"

'

""

"Wasting food is bad."

"When you went to the convenience store, did you buy that thing that was displayed in front of the counter?"

"???"

"If you didn't buy it then, can you go again, find the right model, and buy it?"

"————" Shen Yu turned his head and looked at the two bowls of ramen that seemed to have lost their souls, thinking about how to answer the girl's question.

"If, if you insist on not buying it, then I—I agree." Liu Zhimin's voice became even softer.

"Let's go then."

"Um----"

Liu Zhimin lowered his head and stood up with Shen Yu, who was carrying two bowls of uneaten ramen.

Fine, this is another example of capitalism wasting resources.

Shen Yu poured the ramen into the trash can, then put the ramen bowl into another trash can, and gestured for Liu Zhimin to hold his hand.

Although Liu Zhimin felt a little down because Shen Yu directly said "Let's go," she felt happy again when she held Shen Yu's hand.

"Want to try running?"

"what?"

Liu Zhimin was pulled along by Shen Yu and they started running on the trail.

After chatting for a while, it was past midnight, and there were even fewer people on the trail; you could hardly see anyone ahead.

Liu Zhimin was thus pulled along by Shen Yu and started running at a long-distance sprint pace.

I ran onto the auxiliary road, then onto the bridge —

"How did you end up on the Holy Water Bridge?!"

"Almost there, almost there," Shen Yu replied, looking at the road ahead without turning around.

""

Liu Zhimin, trying hard to recall the breathing techniques she used on the treadmill at the gym, followed closely behind Shen Yu.

He was still holding my hand, and I couldn't let go at all!

If Kim Min-ji saw Shen Yu at this moment, she would realize that he actually knows a lot about running techniques.
