Peninsula: The young master is poor and doesn't want to date.

Chapter 45: Not a Single Desire

Lee Woo-bin didn't notice Lee Jung-il and Jung Go-rang making way for him; he was still displaying his feathers by himself.

"I'm not bragging, but I know how many female celebrities in the entertainment industry are lining up just to have a meal with me..."

Before the word "rice" even landed, Ding Lilan made a move.

Her right leg lifted up without warning.

Straight as a whip.

up.

Raise it above your head.

They are not splits; they have a reverse curve.

then……

It suddenly chopped down.

Just a second ago, Lee Woo-bin was marveling at how those legs were like a creation of Nuwa, a master of her craft.

This position feels incredibly good.

Then I felt a gust of wind sweep past my face.

His bangs were blown back by the airflow.

Then, he heard a voice.

boom! ! !

It wasn't that dull, muffled impact sound.

It was the sound of something exploding.

Wood chips flew everywhere.

The solid wood desk behind him was split in the middle.

The four table legs couldn't support it, and with a crash, the table broke into three or four pieces and collapsed on the ground.

Dust filled the corridor.

Lee Woo-bin stood frozen in place.

His mouth was still in the same shape as when he said "eat".

But he couldn't utter a single word.

Ding Lilan withdrew her leg.

The movement was so light and effortless, as if he had just stretched.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling and the corners of her mouth turning up.

The kind that's harmless to humans and animals.

"Sir, did you just say you wanted to invite me to dinner?"

Her voice is also very pleasant, soft and gentle.

Lee Woo-bin began to tremble.

He shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, no, no, no, no..."

His voice was trembling.

"Miss Lan, you've misunderstood, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

He waved his hands frantically in front of him.

Ding Lilan tilted her head, her expression as innocent as an angel's.

"Oh, so it was a misunderstanding?"

She smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Then please get some rest, sir."

"Remember to report when you go out; you can't just go out alone. Otherwise, I might be a bit stricter."

Lee Woo-bin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart from all the eating.

Ding Lilan turned around and left the corridor with light steps.

Only after she had walked away did Lee Woo-bin slowly exhale.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the edge of the bed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zhengyi quietly moved to Ding Wulang's side.

He lowered his voice.

"Don't tell me this table is made of some expensive solid wood again."

Last time he kicked and broke a table, Ding Wulang nagged him about it for a whole week.

Ding Wulang remained expressionless.

I found it at a junkyard.

Li Zhengyi gave a thumbs up.

"clever."

Then he glanced at the pile of wooden debris on the ground.

"Otherwise, with your daughter kicking like that, no matter how much income you have, you'll go bankrupt."

Ding Wulang nodded in strong agreement.

Lee Woo-bin sat on the edge of the bed, watching the two people whispering to each other, and then looked at the body on the table on the floor.

He suddenly realized.

Agreeing to this "fake death plan" was probably the second wrong decision I made after the parachute jump.

wrong.

Meeting Ding Lilan was the biggest shock of the day.

He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

My mind is filled with those legs.

There was no lust, only fear.

It was already 10:30 p.m. when I left Ding Wulang's detective agency.

It was completely dark.

The streets have become quiet.

Li Zhengyi did not go straight home.

He first went to the only mobile phone store in the vicinity that was still open.

It's called a mobile phone store, but it's really just a tiny telecommunications agency that also sells phone cases and charging cables.

The boss was dozing off at the counter when he was startled by the sound of Li Zheng knocking on the glass.

"Buy a phone, the cheapest smartphone, as long as it can access the internet."

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and pulled a second-hand LG phone from the cabinet, priced at 150,000 Korean won, about 1000 RMB.

It suits his current status as a poor man.

Without wasting any words, Li Zhengyi paid, took the goods, and left.

Then I went to the service center again to get a replacement SIM card.

After finishing all that, he found a 24-hour convenience store on the roadside, bought a can of coffee, sat on a plastic chair at the entrance, and started logging into his accounts one by one.

My phone is lagging.

It took a full five seconds to open Kakao.

However, these days, the iPhone 4 has only been around for 4 years, and Android phones are still in the process of being developed.

The quality varies greatly.

For example, the one I have here only has a 720p screen resolution.

Li Zheng stared at the yellow chat software icon, but his mind was on something else entirely.

From now on, for matters involving secrets, I will only use Telegram.

That is, paper airplanes.

The one the Russians did.

How high is the encryption level?

Armies in battle use it for meetings.

Even if the people at CJ Group turned Kakao's servers upside down, they wouldn't find a single punctuation mark.

Kakao's login screen has finally finished loading.

Enter your account number.

enter password.

Click to log in.

Then my phone went crazy.

The news is crazy.

Buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing.

The new phone vibrated like a small motor in his hand, with notifications popping up one after another, and the number of unread messages on the screen skyrocketing.

Li Zhengyi quickly put his phone on silent.

Let's look at Kim Jisoo's first.

There are the most unread messages, a long string that I can't even scroll through them all.

He started reading from the beginning.

"Oppa, the convenience store got a new banana milk today, I bought two bottles and put them in your fridge."

"Oppa, why aren't you replying to my messages? Are you sleeping?"

"Oppa, Oppa, I'm so tired from practice today, the teacher scolded me, waaaaah, what are you doing?"

"Oppa? Still not awake?"

"Oppa!!! You didn't come to work at the convenience store today? I went to look for you, but the manager said you took the day off."

"Oppa, I can't sleep."

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

"Is your phone broken?"

"Or has something happened?"

the next morning.

"Oppa".

"How are you?"

"I didn't go to practice today either, and I got scolded by my roommate."

"But I don't want to go."

"I'll wait for you at the convenience store."

noon.

"Oppa, aren't you coming back yet?"

"You've never gone this long without replying to my messages before."

"I'm starting to get a little scared."

in the afternoon.

"...Oppa."

"The convenience store girl said you went on a business trip, but who goes on a business trip without their phone?"

Please reply to me.

"Anything is fine."

Let me know how you are.

night.

"Li Zhengyi."

Do you find me annoying?

I know you find me annoying.

"But I'm really worried about you."

"You are one of the few people I can talk to in Seoul."

"Besides you, I don't know who else I can talk to."

early morning.

"Good night."

"If you were still here."

"You must take good care of yourself."

The last message was sent 10 minutes ago.

After reading it, Li Zheng turned off his phone screen.

Then I turned the screen on again.

I read the last few lines again.

He thought about it for a moment, but did not reply.

It's not that I don't want to go back.

I can't go back now.

Once he replies, Kim Jisoo will definitely reply instantly.

Then came a barrage of questions: Where are you? How are you? I need to come find you.

She's still in the worrying stage, which means she doesn't yet know exactly what happened to him.

If I let her know I'm in Seoul but don't tell her my location, she'll be even more worried.

Moreover, he has not yet shown up.

This is why he didn't go straight home or back to the convenience store.

His family must be spying on him.

The moment he appears, his elder brother or father will know immediately.

He's not ready to show up now.

So right now, it's actually the simplest thing to do is to let Kim Jisoo continue to think that he "hasn't heard from her yet."

Li Zheng swiped away from Kim Jisoo's chat box.

next.
