Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 156 A Rainy Day in Los Angeles

"What heavy rain!"

It's normal not to see the sun if you're in the direction the sun is facing.

Shen Yu held his backpack to shield himself from the rain and ran to a nearby place that resembled a building entrance, where there were seats to rest and take shelter from the rain.

The view of palm trees in the rain near Rodeo Drive and Sunset Boulevard is beautiful and luxurious.

If it weren't for this heavy rain, Shen Yu would have seen a constant stream of top-of-the-line luxury cars, and the streets would have been filled with well-maintained classic cars that are rarely seen on ordinary days.

And those elegant and beautiful Western ladies, their depth of thought is truly befitting of their Western heritage. For a native of Seoul, only someone with exceptional talent could possess such skill and depth.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss will swallow you up.

No problem.

That's right, Beverly Hills is one of LA's top affluent neighborhoods, and the standard features of such neighborhoods are designed to please wealthy tourists.

Shen Yu also planned to act as a tourist for those capitalists. It would be nice to visit the top-tier villas in Beverly Hills. He heard that HYBE's representative spent a huge sum of money to buy a top-tier mansion in Beverly Hills last year.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, Shen Yu, who had been imagining all sorts of things in his mind but hadn't seen a single one, found a spot close to the street in the stairwell where he was taking shelter from the rain and sat down. Then he took out some familiar items.

Pocket3.

This machine is a veteran, but it also handled a lot of the footage for Shen Yu's YouTube videos.

He's in his prime.

Unfortunately, without the boost of his fame, Shen Yu started a separate YouTube account dedicated to Vlogs, using a name that nobody cared about, but the number of followers is still less than four figures.

But that doesn't stop the machine from being really useful.

Holding a Pocket3, Shen Yu filmed the scenery in the rain, and also managed to capture the people in the corner of the frame.

The girl sitting opposite Shen Yu was looking down at her phone and didn't notice this scene at first, but as Shen Yu kept holding the gimbal camera and occasionally moved his hand, she couldn't help but notice.

She looked up and saw the camera filming her.

"————" The Asian man looked clean-cut and somewhat handsome.

Perhaps because they were abroad, she thought for a moment and shifted her body slightly, feeling that Shen Yu was filming from the side of her. "Maybe he didn't film me," she comforted herself.

She didn't dislike the man, but she didn't like him either.

In LA on a rainy day, the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. The girl was wearing a sky-blue silk blouse with a beautiful drape.

Good fabrics make people feel very elegant.

The light-colored straight-leg jeans, in the same color scheme, made her look fresh and clean. The dark brown thin belt created the visual effect of long legs. After being stared at by the camera with one leg raised, she straightened both legs and moved her body to avoid Shen Yu's camera.

Shen Yu's camera also shifted, his gaze seemingly penetrating the brick wall and the girl, projecting into the deeper rain curtain.

"You!" she couldn't help but ask.

"————" Shen Yu pretended not to hear.

Are you filming me?

"Huh?" Shen Yu's camera didn't move, but he waved his hand, showing that he was very focused on filming.

"No, no, I was filming the rain, haha! It's raining so hard."

He smiled and nodded at the girl. "Ah, it's raining."

The girl tilting her head to look at Shen Yu had a subtle expression.

"You can't capture the rain from this spot, right?"

She was still clearly aware that there was a wall behind her.

"No problem, you can get a shot, you really can get a shot."

"oh."

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Kang Min-kyung noticed that Shen Yu's expression didn't have the kind of feeling one would have when a fan recognized them on the streets of Seoul, and he didn't look like a reporter at all.

Jiang Minjiong couldn't help but glance at her own body. She wasn't wearing anything particularly sexy. If they were really going to take pictures, she would be hiding in the same spot, wearing only a thin-strapped tank top. A well-built Western woman would be the type he would prefer to photograph.

Her long-distance vision was quite good, and she could tell that Shen Yu's gaze was not on her, but rather on the distance.

so----

Looking up every now and then, Jiang Minjiong noticed that Shen Yu's camera was still pointed at him. He picked up the beige suit jacket draped over his tote bag, put it on his forearm, and sat down a little further inside.

The rain was still heavy, but only the two of them remained inside the stairwell.

The few young European and American girls who were originally there seemed to be completely unfazed by the heavy rain. They chatted and laughed until the rain intensified, at which point they ran outside.

Jiang Minjiong didn't want to get completely soaked. She had just gotten off the plane, put her luggage in the hotel, and then came to Rodeo Drive. She didn't want her wonderful day to end abruptly with her body drenched in LA rain.

Shen Yu's camera pans, "Who says you can't film rain if there's a wall behind you?"

The beautiful brick walls and stunning scenery are complemented only by the sound of rain.

However, Shen Yu noticed that the girl was just hiding inside, never looking up, intently playing on her phone, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings.

Ignored it.

Did you bring an umbrella?

"?" Jiang Minjiong looked up and saw the camera, as well as Shen Yu's gaze.

"Me?" She raised her finger and pointed to herself, then looked back at herself.

"Is there anyone else here?" Shen Yu exaggeratedly imitated her turning her head to look around.

"————" Jiang Minjiong paused for a moment, "No."

"Oh, then you'll be staying with me for a long time." Shen Yu told her about this.

Los Angeles at the end of March experienced unusually rainy and cold weather.

The phone indicated that the heavy rain wouldn't subside until at least noon.

"Heh." Jiang Minjiong chuckled lightly, somewhat speechless.

Seeing that Shen Yu showed no sign of moving the camera away, she couldn't help but say, "Are you still filming me?"

"I'm filming myself! Filming myself." Shen Yu made a peace sign at the camera, but the camera was clearly pointed at the girl.

"That's right! I'm taking a selfie!"

"————" Jiang Minjiong looked at the Pocket 3 in Shen Yu's hand with some suspicion. She also had a similar gimbal camera, and even now...

It was in the tote bag right next to me.

So, since his eyesight is not bad, was the camera really a selfie, as he said, and not pointed at her?

The man's words and expression were so certain that Jiang Minjiong began to wonder if her vision in the distance wasn't as sharp as before because of jet lag.

"Are you—are your eyesight good?" Shen Yu noticed the other person staring at him and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" Jiang Minjiong deliberately widened his eyes. "I'm farsighted!"

Her eyesight isn't bad—it's not that she's farsighted, but she has some astigmatism and blurriness at close range.

Shen Yu was sitting so far away, so of course she could see him very clearly!

"Oh?! You're farsighted, haha, I see, I see."
