Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 160 Rainy days call for pancakes and makgeolli!

Shen Yu felt that Jiang Minjiong's hands were the kind of hands a girl of her height should have.

That's more like it, long and slender.

As for why Shen Yu had such feelings, those who know, know.

Here, your bag.

Shen Yu handed the tote bag hanging on his body to Jiang Minjiong, and received her thanks.

After the car had driven for a while, Jiang Minjiong realized that she had gotten into the same taxi as a man she had just met.

"Where are we going? Is it far?"

"It's not far. Let's go to a small shop in Koreatown. A friend told me their spicy knife-cut noodles are delicious. By the way, wouldn't it be great to have a bowl of this on a rainy day?"

Shen Yu opened his phone to check something. "Hmm, and I heard they also have seafood scallion pancakes, which would be perfect for today, right?"

Jiang Minjiong nodded. K-town was a place she was also very familiar with, and this destination allowed Jiang Minjiong's tense nerves to relax again.

The car was quiet; the Uber driver was driving a Tesla, and there wasn't any music playing inside.

Tesla's rear seats aren't exactly comfortable, but they're definitely the best spot to avoid the rain.

The atmosphere gradually became subtle, and Jiang Minjiong and Shen Yu occasionally exchanged glances.

"This is a little awkward," Jiang Minjiong said.

Although Shen Yu was also embarrassed, he enjoyed the embarrassment.

After all, you can only enjoy this feeling when you're not familiar with this girl.

Just like the first time, it's a one-time experience. If you don't properly savor the emotions and sensations, you won't have another chance to experience this with the same girl.

Shen Yu untied his hair; he had helped Jiang Minjiong shield himself from the rain when he got into the car, but his own hair had gotten a little wet.

Fortunately, his hairstyle suited the wet look well, except that it didn't feel very good.

Shen Yu untied his hair and shook his head, causing the ends of his hair to flutter.

"Hmm." Kang Min-kyung covered his face with his hand.

"Oh, sorry!" The water droplets on her hair must have accidentally splashed onto her.

In the close proximity of the car, Jiang Minjiong didn't say anything, but looked Shen Yu up and down repeatedly before casually saying that it was nothing.

She had to admit that at this distance, Shen Yu's appearance after letting his hair down had a touch of wildness, which actually made her feel more attracted to him than his previous somewhat refined but roguish demeanor.

"I'm so sorry!" Shen Yu continued to apologize. "I'm so sorry. If you mind, I'll have the driver stop the car and I'll sit in the passenger seat so I won't bother you."

Before Jiang Minjiong could even speak, Shen Yu seamlessly followed up with, "You can't be that bad, can you?"

"—" Jiang Minjiong didn't speak, but smiled politely and looked ahead.

Shen Yu noticed that she had fallen silent again, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"————!" Jiang Minjiong opened his eyes wide and raised his hand to cover his face.

This man did it on purpose! He definitely did it on purpose!

This action seemed to be a switch, and Shen Yu immediately began to apologize.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to, I just completely forgot!"

"—It's okay, it's my fault for letting you get wet."

Jiang Minjiong tried hard to calm herself down. It wasn't that she disliked Shen Yu, but she didn't want her emotions to fluctuate because of him.

Then came another silent moment where only the sound of rain and trams could be heard.

In the silence, Shen Yu looked at Jiang Minjiong, "Shouldn't we talk about something?"

"What would you like to talk about?" she asked in return.

"It's a little awkward, um, let me think... Do you like small animals?"

"I like it." Jiang Minjiong, who has a dog, suddenly started missing his dog.

"What about reptiles? Like geckos—"

"!" Jiang Minjiong shook his head vigorously.

"Oh, you don't like it?" Shen Yu sighed. "Then it's alright."

Seemingly realizing he hadn't been very polite, Jiang Minjing couldn't help but ask, "The art research you mentioned earlier, is it just researching small reptiles?"

Shen Yu thought that if the lizardmen counted, then so be it, since they were a local specialty.

"Ah, it should be somewhat related, but maybe not that much."

It was as if nothing had been said; the journey came to an end just like that.

The car pulled up in front of a restaurant in Koreatown, and Shen Yu picked up his phone to get out.

"Um, I don't have cash, only a card. I'll transfer the money to you later."

"Oh? The fare? Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later."

Shen Yu got out of the car, then straightened his clothes, and Jiang Minjiong bent down and stood up from under Shen Yu.

Xin Chongxue made a thick soup, and Shen Yu pushed open the door, gesturing for Jiang Minjiong to go in first.

The timing is perfect for lunch.

"Hello, how many people?"

"Auntie, it's just the two of us." Shen Yu looked at the auntie who was greeting him and knew that this place must be authentic.

"Oh, okay, please sit here!"

The aunt pointed to the seats by the window and asked the two of them to sit down.

"Haha—Auntie made us sit together," Shen Yu explained to Jiang Minjiong.

"————" She glanced at Shen Yu helplessly, "I can understand."

That's right, everyone's started speaking Korean now, so what's there to not understand?

In the bright environment, Shen Yu seemed to look somewhat different.

With a certain familiarity and an unexpected handsomeness, this man was exceptionally good-looking.

Jiang Minjiong nodded and sat down opposite Shen Yu.

"I know, it's okay, there's no need for the two of us to sit in two seats."

"Haha, I was afraid you'd mind." Shen Yu just thought that Jiang Minjiong looked really beautiful from this distance.

Unlike the seven boys who were still a bit immature, this is a beauty that comes from the passage of time, a blend of maturity and naivety.

It perfectly matches Shen Yu's aesthetic.

"If you mind, I can choose not to eat it."

"————" Jiang Minjiong didn't speak.

"Sorry, I was just kidding." Shen Yu felt that men should learn to back down.

Only then can we have a day when we can stand tall and strong.

Shen Yu picked up the menu and ordered spicy knife-cut noodles and seolleongtang (a type of soup), along with a seafood scallion pancake and a kimchi pancake. He then handed the menu to Shen Yu.

He gave it to Jiang Minjiong, and she nodded to indicate that it was acceptable.

"Would you like some makgeolli?"

"Alright."

The rice wine wasn't very strong, and Jiang Minjiong thought the weather was perfect for it, so he agreed to Shen Yu's idea.

Shen Yu ordered an extra bottle of Maggi.

While waiting for the food to be served, Shen Yu continued to hold the Pocket 3. This time, Jiang Minjiong could see clearly that the camera was pointed at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked Shen Yu, who was looking through the viewfinder.

"You're so beautiful. Oh? Ah, I hadn't really gotten a good look at you before."

After speaking, Shen Yu continued to look down at Jiang Minjiong through the viewfinder.

Jiang Minjiong, who was sitting opposite Shen Yu, was both annoyed and amused.

If she just looks directly at it, she can't say anything, but what kind of behavior is it to take pictures while looking at yourself in the viewfinder?

Jiang Minjiong thought for a moment and then covered his face with his hand.

Her small face was easily partially hidden by her hand.

Shen Yu immediately looked up at her. "No, I wasn't looking at you. I'm looking at myself right now!"

"I'm looking at myself."

Jiang Minjiong lowered his hand and looked into Shen Yu's eyes.

Then the focus shifted back to the camera lens.

"Haha, look at myself!" The camera slowly turned around, and Shen Yu's image was now in the viewfinder.

"Hmm, it looks pretty good."
