Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 165 Offense and Defense Transition

These unbearably real pains were the reason she ultimately chose to escape to LA.

With a sigh of relief, Jiang Minjing even considered retiring from the entertainment industry and living a peaceful life as an ordinary person because of the mistakes he made due to his own blindness, the entanglements he caused with people and things he should have been close to, and the criticism he received from countless people due to his ignorance.

Fortunately, she had the comfort of her sister and friends, and she couldn't bear to give up her hard work—Àvie muah.

So, oh my god, Kang Min-kyung, what exactly did you do last night?

I came here to relax, not to stir up trouble!

But at that time, I must have had the thought of relaxing in that way, especially since Shen Yu gave me such a good impression.

No, this has nothing to do with me! I'm the one who should have been the one who got what happened to me!

On a morning when Shen Yu wasn't there—or rather, it was already noon—the sliver of sunlight peeking through the curtains told her that it was still a cloudy day.

Then, Jiang Minjiong, who was alone in the bedroom, was not so nervous anymore.

If she woke up and saw Shen Yu, she wouldn't know what to say.

Stepping into the bathroom, she discovered a brand new set of pajamas—an LV set she had seen online but hadn't been able to bring herself to buy.

The silk short nightgown was placed on the shelf next to the sink, and there was even a matching set of underwear from the same brand.

Jiang Minjiong felt a warmth in her heart, but also wondered why Shen Yu was so capable.

Bra size — well, did he measure it by hand?

Her mind was racing with thoughts. She quickly tidied herself up, washed up, put on her pajamas, and left the bedroom.

The pajamas and underwear fit perfectly, warming Jiang Minjiong's heart, but she was still a little uneasy.

Perhaps Shen Yu's attitude towards her will be the starting point for how she decides how to handle their relationship.

What she feared most was what she would do if what she thought and experienced after meeting Shen Yu was completely different from what he had imagined.

The relationship came somewhat suddenly, but it wasn't unacceptable. Although there were some issues she needed to figure out on her own, she felt that perhaps it was a kind of "destined" fate.

Otherwise, why would a rainy day in Los Angeles be so fitting?

In fact, in Beverly Hills, there are many Europeans and Americans strolling around in their pajamas on Rodeo Drive, and their relaxed demeanor is clearly visible.

Jiang Minjiong felt there was nothing wrong with wearing this outfit out.

She stepped out of her room and heard soft music playing from the record player on the first floor. She slowly moved her feet and took a few steps before she felt a little better, but her waist and hips were still very uncomfortable.

As Jiang Minjiong walked down the stairs holding onto the handrail, she saw Shen Yu's figure when she was on the half-floor landing.

The man picked up the food from the food cart and placed it on the restaurant table.

"You're awake?"

"Ah, um."

When Jiang Minjiong opened his mouth, he felt his voice had become much hoarse.

"Have some warm water. I didn't know what you like for breakfast, so I had the housekeeper prepare something simple."

A standard California brunch, featuring fresh avocado toast and a plate of tempting Eggs Benedict.

I saw the handmade scones at afternoon tea yesterday, but this morning they were replaced with plain scones with butter and milk.

Jiang Minjiong's stomach betrayed her; perhaps she had been so exhausted last night that she had fainted from hunger.

But she still slowly went downstairs, her hair tied up, and cautiously approached the dining table.

"Looks like I won't be able to go out for a stroll today? The weather forecast says it'll be cloudy, but it won't rain."

"No, that's not true!" Jiang Minjiong, who had just sat down, was flushed. "I just didn't stretch. Wait until I finish eating and I'll stretch a little, and I'll recover quickly!"

"Okay, okay."

Shen Yu placed the brunch in front of her.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Minjing's unwavering passion for food led him to temporarily ignore Shen Yu.

Moreover, knowing some of Shen Yu's bad personality traits, such as forcing her to apologize to him on the sofa, Jiang Minjiong knew that those who eat food are heroes.

"Ah, Eggs Benedict tastes amazing, the aroma of butter is absolutely wonderful." After taking a small bite with his knife and fork, Jiang Minjiong smelled the delicious aroma again.

"The scones are baked to a perfect crispness, yet they still bring out the aroma of milk, and they're still very soft to the touch!"

Just as she was about to take a sip of her juice, Jiang Minjiong remembered what had happened last night. She felt like she had developed PTSD from Shen Yu. She looked at her cautiously and, seeing that Shen Yu didn't give her any strange looks, slowly drank the juice.

"Where's your gimbal camera? Can you record it for me?" Putting down the cup in his hand, Jiang Minjiong thought for a moment and asked.

Road.

"Pocket 3?" Shen Yu looked at Jiang Minjiong, who seemed to be in working mode, and was a little confused.

"This is great material! Next time I come to the Peninsula Hotel, I'll have to pay for it myself."

Jiang Minjiong's words had a slightly coquettish tone.

"Haha, okay."

Shen Yu went to the sofa, found the gimbal camera, and sat down opposite Jiang Minjiong again, acting as her camera PD.

"Phew, now I finally feel like I'm in LA."

Yesterday, Jiang Minjiong felt like he was both battling the heavy rain and Shen Yu.

It was only when I tasted authentic LA flavors that I truly felt like I was on vacation.

"Oppa~" Kang Minkyung's voice was indeed coquettish, "You've worked hard."

Shen Yu paused for a second, because she was saying this to the camera.

Within the viewfinder, Jiang Minjiong's expression conveyed gratitude and warmth, and her "brother" had a distinctly girlish quality.

When Jiang Minjiong noticed that Shen Yu didn't say anything and was still holding the camera, he knew that Shen Yu had misunderstood.

Tilting his head slightly and moving himself out of the frame, Jiang Minjiong looked at Shen Yu and said, "Oppa~ I was talking about you."

"Me?" Shen Yu pointed to himself.

"yes."

"Alright then, you're welcome."

"Hehe, do you feel a lot of pressure from being called 'Oppa'?"

Shen Yu felt it; it was like returning to the atmosphere of his past relationships with girls.

It has to be said that although she is older than me, when it comes to being cute, Jiang Minjiong is just as good as a young child.

Even when she's being coquettish, she's completely natural and unpretentious, giving people a sense of effortless comfort.

Adding to the age gap, even though Jiang Minjiong could have Shen Yu call her "Noona" according to Seoul custom, or act like a senior singer and entrepreneur who was very powerful, and that their relationship was just a charade yesterday, she still gave him the cold shoulder.

But she didn't have any of those.

Instead, she seemed like a young girl who had just fallen in love.

She even calls you "Oppa" in a voice that doesn't sound sweet but is full of coquettish charm.

What can Shen Yu do?

Shen Yu decided to take it easy.
