Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 120 The Dramatic Hwang Yee-ji

Huang Lizhi and Lin Yuan strolled around the mall, looking at the cats and dogs and the arcade.

Lin Yuan was dragged around by her, and his legs were trembling from running.

"Oppa, we're almost out of dog food, let's go back to that store and check again."

Huang Lizhi was dressed very conservatively, but his signature fox-like eyes were clearly visible as he blinked rapidly twice at Lin Yuan.

???

"Hwang Yee-ji!"

Lin Yuan sat in the rest area, gently tapping his legs with his hands, and growled angrily in a low voice, "Are you walking a dog... no, walking Oppa? Why didn't you say so when you were out shopping?!"

He was furious.

Shopping is a woman's forte. If you need something and happen to be passing by, why not just buy it?

This girl is something else! She's walked around this huge mall and now she wants to come back and come all over again. Is she kidding me?!

Huang Lizhi chuckled, came up and put his arm around Lin Yuan's arm, swaying it from side to side.

Then, in a sweet, coquettish voice, she said, "Oppa~ I just forgot~ Please don't be angry~"

"Huh~"

Lin Yuan shuddered when he heard her noise.

He gestured with his hands to be quiet, then sighed and nodded helplessly.

"This is the last time! If you forget anything else, I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Hwang Ye-ji nodded quickly and happily, "Thank you, Oppa! Oppa is the best!"

After saying that, she kissed Lin Yuan on the cheek through his mask, and then ran forward.

Lin Yuan stood there, stunned and at a loss.

Isn't this girl being too casual? Even with a mask on, it's still not okay.

No, I must have a serious talk with them when I get back.

How can you kiss a boy so casually?

"Oppa, come quick! Bare bare!"

Seeing that he hadn't come up for a while, Huang Lizhi stopped where she stood and waved to him, her voice pleasant and cute.

Lin Yuan then realized that the girl seemed to have grown up without him noticing.

She seems to have grown taller, gotten a better figure, and become even prettier?

No no no!

Lin Yuan suddenly slapped himself, cursing himself as a beast.

How could he have such wicked thoughts about Lizhi? She only sees you as a brother, yet you treat her like...

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of all the random thoughts.

"Here it comes!"

Lin Yuan pretended to be nonchalant and chased after him.

At the entrance of the pet store, Lin Yuan's gaze fell on a shop. He thought for a moment and said to Huang Lizhi, "You play with the kittens and puppies for a while. Oppa is going to the restroom and will come find you in a bit."

Huang Lizhi didn't take it seriously, gave a casual reply, and walked inside to play with the pets through the glass.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly went to the shop next door, intending to buy some gifts for his woman.

He looked around through the counter and finally chose a necklace for Mihyeko, a pair of earrings for Lee Ji-eun, and a bracelet for Bae Suzy.

"Could you please pack them separately for me? Thank you!"

At the front desk, the saleswoman looked at the man in front of her with disbelief, thinking to herself: This guy is such a jerk!

Although not all customers in their store are couples or lovers, at least they all buy items individually.

But this man bought three portions at once, and not just one set.

Based on her many years of experience in sales... she's undoubtedly a master of time management!

But despite being a scumbag, the good thing is that he's willing to spend money, and he can make a fortune for himself.

The three gifts were quickly packed, and Lin Yuan smiled as he accepted them and stuffed them into his pocket.

As soon as he stepped out of the jewelry store, Lin Yuan couldn't help but touch the three heavy jewelry boxes in his pocket, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

He also noticed the strange look in the salesperson's eyes, guessing that the salesperson probably thought he was a complete "playboy".

However, he was too lazy to explain; when it comes to matters of the heart, only the person experiencing it truly knows.

Putting his thoughts aside, he quickly walked towards the pet shop next door.

Before even entering, you can see Huang Lizhi squatting in front of a glass display window from afar.

She was practically pressed against the glass, holding out a finger and following the swaying of a round little British Shorthair inside.

Her signature fox-like eyes were filled with a bright, sparkling smile; you could feel her joy even through her mask.

"Which one have you taken a fancy to? How about taking one home to keep the rest of the family company?" Lin Yuan walked over and gently patted her head.

"Oh my god, Oppa, you scared me!"

Huang Lizhi rubbed his head and stood up, shaking his head with some regret. "Forget it, they're all jealous people. If they see me bringing a love rival home, they'll tear the sofa to shreds."

Besides, we're usually quite busy and can't take care of everything ourselves.

As she spoke, she skillfully pulled Lin Yuan's arm and pointed towards the cashier: "I've already chosen the dog food, just waiting for Oppa to pay!"

"You little rascal, you really treat me like a walking wallet."

Lin Yuan complained, but his body language betrayed him as he walked toward the cashier.

After paying, Lin Yuan carried two large, heavy bags of dog food, while Huang Lizhi led the way like a happy little magpie.

As I stepped out of the mall, it was already getting dark, and the evening breeze carried away the daytime heat.

"Oppa, thank you for going shopping with me today!"

Huang Lizhi walked backwards with his hands behind his back, smiling at Lin Yuan, "Although you yelled at me once in the middle, I'll mercifully forgive you for the sake of the dog food and that cup of milk tea just now."

"You were the one who walked me first, okay?" Lin Yuan glared at her, annoyed. "Walk properly, don't walk backwards, or you'll bump into someone."

"Okay, okay, old-fashioned oppa~" Hwang Ye-ji stuck out his tongue, obediently turned around, and walked side by side with Lim Won.

Lin Yuan then realized that it seemed the girl had only bought him a few things, while he hadn't bought anything for himself.

He was both amused and exasperated; this girl really knew how to save him money.

Then, he grabbed Huang Lizhi and pulled him aside.

"Hey! Hey! Oppa, what are you doing?!"

Huang Lizhi was dragged along, looking completely bewildered.

Welcome to Jimmy Choo!

Upon seeing the hostess beside him, Huang Lizhi stopped struggling and nodded sheepishly.

She tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Oppa, are you buying a gift for Unnie?"

Lin Yuan didn't speak, but just smiled and ruffled her hair. Then he beckoned to a salesperson a few steps away, pointed to the bag in front of him, and said:

"Do you have this in stock?"

Huang Lizhi looked in the direction he was pointing, and the next second his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "It's so beautiful!"

Then he carefully bent down to touch it.

But when she saw the long string of numbers below, she withdrew her hand and returned to Lin Yuan's side somewhat disappointed, leaving only her 'liking' gaze on it.

Oh my god, I'm going to buy one of these when I make money.

A moment later, the salesperson brought over a new box, opened it in front of the two of them, and then introduced it, saying:

"Sir/Madam, this is our MICRO BON BON series bag. The one I have here is rose gold, and the surface uses a satin patchwork technique."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction and was about to ask Huang Lizhi if he liked it.

Turning my head, I saw her staring blankly at the bag, practically drooling.

He nudged Hwang Li-ji, "Do you like it?"

Hwang Li-ji nodded subconsciously, "I like it!"

She immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly explained, "Oppa, that's not how it is. I...I..."

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, then said to the salesperson, "This one will do, card payment please!"

"Please wait a moment, both of you!"

And so, amidst Huang Lizhi's envious and panicked gaze, the card swiped through the POS machine, and a receipt was dispensed.

The salesperson packed the box into a shopping bag in front of Huang Lizhi and handed it to him.

Huang Lizhi looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "Why are you giving it to me?"

"Take it, I bought it especially for you."

Seeing her stunned expression, Lin Yuan chuckled and took the handbag, hanging it directly on her wrist.

"What? For me?!"

Huang Lizhi looked down at the exquisite brand paper bag as if he had been burned, then looked at Lin Yuan, completely shocked.

She waved her hands frantically, as if to take the bag off and return it to him: "No, no! Oppa, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

She saw the price tag with a string of zeros very clearly.

Although she called Lin Yuan her "mobile wallet," it only meant buying dog food worth a few hundred yuan and milk tea worth a dozen yuan. How could she dare to accept luxury bags that cost tens of thousands of yuan?

"What's wrong with wanting it? Wasn't someone's eyes practically glued to it just now?"

Lin Yuan pressed down on her hand and said forcefully.

"You train so hard and take care of Unnie and everything else all the time, so consider this a reward from Oppa."

"But..." Huang Lizhi bit his lip, his eyes filled with fear and unease.

She really liked the bag, but she didn't want to receive it under these circumstances, as it might damage her relationship with her boyfriend.

Seeing her hesitant manner, Lin Yuan deliberately put on a stern face: "No buts, the invoice has already been issued, it can't be refunded. If you keep making excuses, I'll really get angry."

Upon hearing the words "cannot be refunded," Huang Lizhi immediately showed a pained expression.

She glanced at the handbag, then stole a look at Lin Yuan, and finally sighed in resignation.

"Well... okay then, thank you, Oppa."

Hwang Yee-ji clutched the tote bag tightly, as if it were some priceless treasure, and her cheeks, which were originally hidden under her mask, were now flushed.

Stepping out of the store, a gust of evening breeze instantly brightened Huang Lizhi's mood.

A young girl's happiness is always so easy to come by.

She couldn't resist taking the bag out of the box, hanging it on her wrist, and swaying it under the streetlights, admiring the rose gold sheen of the satin reflecting the light.

"Oppa, am I the first girl to receive a bag from you?"

She suddenly turned around and walked backwards in front of Lin Yuan, a sly glint in her eyes and a hint of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan subconsciously touched the three heavy jewelry boxes in his pocket.

Jewelry and bags... shouldn't they be considered the same category?

"Ahem, don't walk backwards at night, watch where you're going." Lin Yuan coughed lightly, subtly changing the subject, and casually grabbed her hat, turning her around.

"Tch, Oppa is so stingy. It's not like answering will cost you anything."

Huang Lizhi grumbled in dissatisfaction, but he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

She looked down at her toes, feeling as if countless little pink bubbles were rising in her heart.

The moonlight lengthened their shadows. Lin Yuan walked beside them, carrying a heavy bag of dog food, glancing at the girl beside him who was humming an unknown tune and walking briskly.

At 7 p.m., Lin Yuan brought Huang Lizhi to the villa.

After getting off the bus, Huang Lizhi stared wide-eyed, looking left and right, and kept exclaiming in amazement.

Wow! What a huge garden!

"Wow! This goldfish is huge!"

Lin Yuan explained from the side, "These are ornamental fish, and they're different from goldfish."

Huang Lizhi remained unmoved and insisted on his own opinion: "I don't care! I say a goldfish is a goldfish!"

"Okay, okay, if you say it's a goldfish, then it's a goldfish!"

What else could Lin Yuan say but spoil him?

After Huang Lizhi had finished exploring the entire garden, his stomach started rumbling, and the two of them went inside.

Lin Yuan put the dog food in the corner and took a new pair of women's slippers for Huang Lizhi to change into. "I'll go make you sweet and sour pork ribs. You should be upstairs with Ji-eun and Hye-ja. Go play with them."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he skillfully unbuttoned his suit jacket and hung it on the coat rack in the entryway, then casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, preparing to head to the kitchen.

"Wait a minute, Oppa!"

Huang Lizhi hurriedly reached out and grabbed the corner of Lin Yuan's shirt.

She glanced down somewhat awkwardly at the Jimmy Choo paper bag she was carrying and muttered to herself:

"Um... should I hide this bag when I go upstairs? It wouldn't be good if the unnies saw it..."

After all, she had just received such an expensive gift. If Lin Yuan's woman saw it, she would feel like a little rascal who had stolen someone else's toy and was showing it off.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her cautious, timid yet adorable appearance.

He turned around and gently flicked her forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Huang Lizhi rubbed his forehead in pain and glared at him with some dissatisfaction.

What's going on in that little head of yours all day?

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly: "What's bought for you is yours. Just take it generously. They're not as stingy as you think."

"Go on, stop standing here like a doorman. Go upstairs and find them. I'm going into the kitchen."

After saying that, Lin Yuan turned and went into the kitchen. A short while later, the sounds of washing ingredients and starting a fire could be heard from inside.

"Aunt Wang, do you have any spare ribs left?"

"Yes, young master. I'll go get it right away."

Huang Lizhi stood there, pursed his lips, and took a deep breath, as if to bolster his courage.

She's feeling really anxious right now, afraid that Ji-eun unnie will start overthinking when she sees the bag oppa bought for her, which could lead to a fight between them, and then she'll be in big trouble.

However, thinking about how Lin Yuan didn't seem to care at all just now, she felt much more relaxed.

That's enough! We'll be found out eventually anyway, better to die sooner rather than later, charge!

If Lee Ji-eun heard these words, she would probably laugh for three days and three nights.

Hwang Ye-ji, you shouldn't be an idol, you should switch careers and become an actor. You have so many thoughts in your mind!

Lin Yuan: ...

She went up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

In the living room on the second floor.

Lee Ji-eun was wearing a comfortable off-white knitted sweater and holding a cup of hot tea. She looked gentle and elegant, showing no trace of her usual lively and cheerful personality.

If it weren't for that iconic face, Hwang Yee-ji would have thought it was a clone.

Sitting next to her was Mieko, who was wearing a silk nightgown and holding a child in her arms, gently rocking the child from side to side while humming an unknown nursery rhyme.
