Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 161 Professional Guide to Making People Laugh

My aunt quickly served all the dishes; the two of them hadn't actually ordered much.

Shen Yu asked for another small bowl, took the communal chopsticks, cut half of the noodles in half for himself, and pushed the rest towards Jiang Minjiong.

"Can?"

"Um."

After shaking it, the makgeolli opened had a faintly sweet aroma of rice wine.

Maggi was poured into the two people's yellow aluminum bowls, and Shen Yu picked up the bowl and took a sip.

It has a very refreshing taste.

When someone is in a bad mood, if they look at the time, it's probably time for them to eat.

After taking a couple of bites of knife-cut noodles, Kang Min-kyung seemed to come alive instantly.

She picked up Magli's cup and looked at Shen Yu.

"Cheers?"

"Cheers!"

Rainy days are all about drinking makgeolli and eating pancakes. Shen Yu had never thought this way before, but after eating it today, he felt that he would definitely remember the taste of rainy days.

When the two finished lunch and went outside, the sky hadn't cleared up, but the rain had stopped.

"Oh, the rain has stopped."

"Okay." Jiang Minjiong's opinion of Shen Yu had improved considerably by now. "I'll split the bill with you for the meal too."

"Okay, okay."

The two stood on the side of a street in Koreatown, feeling as if they hadn't left Seoul yet.

It felt like I was in Guro District or near Gwangjang Market.

"Is your place far away?" Jiang Minjiong put down his phone and asked Shen Yu.

"Um, it's alright."

The two stood close enough to be seen as a couple, but neither of them said anything.

then.

"Um, am I standing too close?"

Shen Yu asked her a question with a smile, and then took a step to the right, creating some distance between them.

Jiang Minjiong felt slightly uncomfortable with this distance, but since they weren't a couple, she could only smile and focus her attention on the messages on her phone.

My aunt lent her charger to the two of them, and both of their phones were charged.

"Tell me," Shen Yu leaned closer to Jiang Minjiong, "would you like your car to arrive sooner or later?"

Jiang Minjiong put down his phone and looked at Shen Yu with a subtle expression, then thought for a moment.

"I hope it comes out smoothly."

"Be more cautious? Oh, okay." Shen Yu nodded as if he understood something.

Take your time.

"Mm." Jiang Minjiong nodded in agreement, then asked, "What about you?"

"I?"

Shen Yu looked at the sky, then at the road ahead, "I haven't called a taxi yet."

"Hahaha————" Jiang Minjiong was amused by Shen Yu again, covering her mouth and laughing uncontrollably.

Looking at the happy girl, Shen Yu watched her smile until she stopped.

"How about you? You shouldn't be so unhappy anymore, right? Are you feeling much better?"

"Hmm, much better."

Jiang Minjiong's gaze towards Shen Yu softened considerably.

"Okay, that's good. You're welcome."

"Tch~"

She managed to suppress her eye-roll at Shen Yu as the car lights in the distance flashed twice.

It seems that Jiang Minjiong hailed this car.

"My car has arrived."

"Hmm." Shen Yu stood still, watching her walk towards the car by the roadside.

"Bye-Bye!"

She waved to Shen Yu just like last time.

"Bye-bye!" Shen Yu said goodbye as she opened the car door.

"Are you also heading towards the city center?" Jiang Minjiong couldn't help but turn around and ask Shen Yu before getting into the car.

"Huh? What?"

Shen Yu heard it clearly, but at this moment, whoever claims to have heard it clearly is the real pabo.

"Okay, let's go!" Shen Yu went over and opened the car door for her.

Jiang Minjiong hadn't noticed anything yet, and simply repeated what he had just said.

Thinking Shen Yu hadn't heard her clearly, she asked, "Um, are you also heading towards the city center?"

"Oh right, get in the car."

"Huh?" Jiang Minjiong looked puzzled, but then his expression turned somewhat amused. He gave a wry smile and got into the car.

In the car.

"Did you really hear what I said?"

She was afraid that Shen Yu was going down the wrong path and would drift further and further away from her.

Although she always felt that he was doing it on purpose, Jiang Minjiong didn't want Shen Yu to waste time.

"Of course I heard it clearly," Shen Yu said matter-of-factly.

"So what did I say?" Jiang Minjiong asked him.

"You said you'd let me get in the car," Shen Yu winked at her.

"I didn't," Jiang Minjiong denied.

"Huh? Think back, didn't you tell me to go with you?"

"No, I didn't."

"You meant for me to get in the car, right?" Shen Yu said with an expression that said, "You must have misremembered."

"————" Jiang Minjiong glared at him. "I mean, are you heading towards the city center?"

"Walk!"

Shen Yu nodded so quickly that she hadn't even finished speaking.

Jiang Minjiong burst out laughing, "You! Really!"

"It's on the way, it's on the way, everything is convenient when we walk together."

Shen Yu feigned innocence, "Really, it's been too smooth."

After Jiang Minjiong finished laughing, Shen Yu began his turn.

Why did you ask me if it was on my way?

"Hmm? I just thought, if it's on my way, can I give you a ride?" Jiang Minjiong gestured for him not to overthink it.

"Oh!" Shen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, it's very convenient."

The phrase "on the way" seemed to be a source of amusement for Jiang Minjiong, and she couldn't help but laugh again.

"So you're planning to go back to the hotel?"

"Hmm." Jiang Minjiong looked at Shen Yu, "Then you—"

"Then I—"

The two of them caught up in each other's conversation.

"Okay, you go first." Shen Yu raised his hand, gesturing for her to speak first.

Jiang Minjiong covered her mouth and continued laughing, "You, you should go first."

"Okay, then I'll get off with you. I'll get off where you got off, and then I'll—"

"Okay, sure, sure." Unconsciously, Jiang Minjiong's emotions seemed to fluctuate with Shen Yu's words.

"You want to say something? What did you say again?" Shen Yu continued the conversation.

"Oh, that's what I was just asking you. So what are you planning to do now?"

"oh."

Although the two people were talking about the same thing, they each expressed their own thoughts, which resulted in a lot of wasted words.

However, Shen Yu felt that the more words he wasted when communicating with a girl, the better their relationship was.

Just like now.

"Look at that driver."

Shen Yu watched as Jiang Minjiong covered his mouth and whispered something in his ear.

Then he looked at the driver, a mixed-race guy who drove in a rather unique way, as if he were hugging the steering wheel.

"Haha, he's driving while lying on top!"

Shen Yu smiled knowingly, "It's okay, just speak louder, he won't understand anyway."

"But that's not necessarily true."

"Not necessarily? Really?" Shen Yu didn't believe it.

"Yeah, really, maybe not here!" Kang Minkyung thought that maybe the driver also lived in Koreatown.

Shen Yu looked at Jiang Minjiong's serious expression and then said loudly in Korean, "Dude, you're so handsome!"

The driver remained unmoved.

"Driver! We're getting off here!"

"Driver, please stop! It's just past here!"

The driver continued driving without wavering, following the navigation.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Minjiong was about to laugh out loud, but then felt a little embarrassed.

Finally, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
