Peninsula: The Best Actor Starts from an Idol Battleground

Chapter 74 Yoona: Oppa, scold me one more time~

Upon hearing that overly familiar "Oppa," Li Zhixing frowned.

The girl who entered the store was tall and slender, her hand still resting on the glass door she had just pushed open.

She wore a beige long shirt over her clothes, the hem of which was not tied up, revealing a section of light blue short-sleeved shirt underneath. She wore cropped jeans and clean white sneakers.

When I cut my hair short in May for the movie "The Beggar Becomes a Prince", it had grown quite a bit. The slightly curled ends reached my chest and were a little messy from the night wind outside.

The mask covered most of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. Her eye makeup was very light, but you could still see the fatigue that hadn't completely faded under her eyes.

The nights in mid-September were already a bit chilly, so this outfit wasn't particularly eye-catching on the street.

Li Zhixing's gaze swept over her, finally settling on her eyes that were visible through the mask.

Those doe-like eyes alone, plus that "Oppa" from just now, were enough for him to recognize who it was.

Lim Yoon-a.

Li Zhixing's tone was hardly polite.

What are you doing here?

Lim Yoona first looked around the store to make sure there were no other customers before taking off her mask and walking briskly forward.

She seemed oblivious to the coldness in Li Zhixing's tone, and deliberately widened her eyes to look around.

"What a coincidence! I just randomly picked a shop that was still lit up, and I didn't expect Oppa to be there too."

"So this is the Chinese restaurant we often order from."

Li Zhixing's lips twitched.

Could you be any more exaggerated?

He suddenly remembered what Uncle Li had said before, and when he looked at Lin Yoona again, his eyes became somewhat subtle.

"Are you the one who's been loitering around here for the past few days?"

Yoona paused for a moment, then looked away.

"Huh? No."

She quickly put on an innocent look again.

"I was really just passing by, Oppa."

Li Zhixing raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his tone already showing a hint of impatience.

"Don't call me Oppa, are we that close?"

Yoona's smile froze slightly.

She blinked, trying to pretend she hadn't heard that.

Li Zhixing had already stood up and coldly began to shoo people away: "We're closed. If there's nothing else, please leave."

After thinking about it, he made his point even clearer.

"Don't come here again. Girls' Generation fans are everywhere. Don't let them see you."

Lim Yoona pouted, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, tilting her head up and pleading.

"Oppa, I'll just stay for a little while, okay?"

"No, we have to leave now!"

Li Zhixing pulled his sleeve back, showing no intention of loosening his grip.

Yoona's expression fell.

She lowered her head, her voice softening slightly: "Oppa, I had a full day of schedules today. I got up at four in the morning to do my makeup, and the recording, interviews, and filming were scheduled until the evening. I just finished."

At this point, Yoona looked up at him again, her eyes filled with a pitiful expression.

"I haven't eaten much all day."

"Oppa, are you really going to let me leave here hungry?"

Li Zhixing looked at her speechlessly.

"Is this the only restaurant in Seoul?"

"But I just love eating at this restaurant."

Yoona took another half step forward and blinked at him.

Li Zhixing stared at her for a few seconds, but finally couldn't help rolling his eyes before turning and walking towards the kitchen.

"Let's make it clear first, we'll leave right away after we finish eating."

The moment he turned around, Yoona couldn't help but smile.

Her clear voice called out from behind, "Oppa, I want spicy seafood noodles, with lots of seafood!"

Li Zhixing didn't bother to respond to her, pretending not to hear.

Not long after, a bowl of fragrant spicy seafood noodles was served.

The bright red soup noodles were topped with squid, shrimp, mussels, and stir-fried vegetables. As soon as the aroma of the spicy soup wafted out, Yoona's eyes lit up instantly.

She had been sitting at the table waiting for a while, her gaze almost following the bowl of noodles as it moved towards her.

She broke apart the disposable chopsticks and skillfully rubbed the tips together.

As soon as the bowl of noodles was placed on the table, she couldn't wait to pick up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks, blow on it twice, and put it in her mouth.

The next second, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Wow……"

With her cheeks puffed out, she mumbled a praise, "Oppa's cooking is definitely the best."

Li Zhixing remained unmoved and expressionlessly reminded him, "Stop talking nonsense, finish eating and leave quickly."

Yoona pretended not to hear and didn't stop eating.

She looked like she had been really hungry for a long time, eating noodles one bite after another, barely having time to speak.

Li Zhixing glanced at her nose, which was red from the steam, but ignored her and went back to his corner to attend to his own business.

The bowl of noodles was quickly emptied.

Yoona put down her chopsticks, leaned back comfortably in her chair, and had a satisfied expression on her face.

Li Zhixing reminded him at the right moment, "You should go."

Yoona looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked him with a matter of course.

"Where are you going?"

Li Zhixing frowned: "Finish eating and leave quickly. Didn't we agree on that?"

"But I'm not full yet."

Yoona blinked, looking completely innocent.

Li Zhixing didn't react for a moment.

"what?"

Yoona pointed to the empty bowl in front of her.

"I'm not full at all."

"Oppa, make me another bowl."

Li Zhixing was silent for a few seconds, almost doubting that he had heard correctly.

Yoona had already put her hands together and gently shook them at him.

"Please, please!"

Li Zhixing stared at her for a while, but finally went back into the kitchen.

Not long after, a second bowl of spicy seafood noodles was placed in front of Lim Yoona.

This time, Li Zhixing did not return to the computer.

He sat down directly opposite Lim Yoona, crossed his arms, and watched her eat.

Yoona gave him a sweet smile and picked up her chopsticks again to eat.

But this time, she clearly didn't eat as quickly as before.

She started taking small bites and chewing much slower than before.

Halfway through the meal, he wrinkled his nose and rubbed his stomach, as if he was a little too full.

Li Zhixing didn't say anything, just stared at her coldly.

Yoona continued to slowly put the noodles into her mouth.

Time passed slowly, and she finally finished the second bowl of noodles.

She threw down her chopsticks, slumped back in her chair, and kept rubbing her stomach.

Li Zhixing raised an eyebrow and pointed to the door.

The meaning is obvious.

Yoona forced a smile.

But the next second, she pushed the empty bowl in front of her forward.

"Oppa, another bowl, please."

"What?"

Li Zhixing abruptly stood up and reprimanded in a low voice, "Lin Yun'er, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yoona looked up at her with a timid expression.

"I'm not full."

Li Zhixing was so angry he laughed, and he nodded.

"OK."

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Soon, the third bowl of spicy seafood noodles was served.

"eat."

"I'd like to see how much more you can eat."

Yoona looked at the third bowl of noodles, and her little face visibly wrinkled up.

She looked up at Li Zhixing, her eyes already showing a hint of pleading.

Li Zhixing remained expressionless.

Yoona had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks again.

This time, she had even more difficulty eating than before.

She only dared to take a tiny bit of each bite, chewed it for a long time before swallowing, and gently patted her chest as she swallowed.

By the end of the meal, she was almost rolling her eyes, but she still slowly reached out her chopsticks to pick up the next bite of noodles.

Li Zhixing sat opposite her, watching her continue to put on a brave face with a cold smile.

Yoona felt trapped under his gaze and could only manage a few more bites with difficulty.

Just as she reached for her chopsticks again, Li Zhixing suddenly raised his hand and pulled the bowl of noodles aside.

"Alright."

Yoona's chopsticks froze in mid-air.

Li Zhixing stood up, his irritation barely concealed.

"Neuropathy."

"Stay if you want."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his seat, clearly indicating that he didn't want to talk to her.

Im Yoona's eyes lit up immediately.

"Oppa, you're so nice!"

Her voice was light and clear, showing no trace of the way she had been struggling and rolling her eyes back earlier.

Li Zhi made a move.

He turned his head in surprise, only to see that Lim Yoona had already pulled the bowl of noodles back and continued eating.

Although she still didn't eat very fast, she stopped rubbing her stomach and patting her chest, and even had the appetite to pick out the squid from her bowl and eat it first.

Li Zhixing was completely stunned.

"No, you..."

Yoona raised her head and tilted it triumphantly and playfully.

"Oppa doesn't know?"

She said with a smile, "I was the biggest eater in Girls' Generation, you know."

"Only three bowls, I can easily finish them."

Li Zhixing was stunned for two seconds.

Then, in a fit of rage, he slammed his fist on the table.

"Hey! Lim Yoona!"

Yoona laughed so hard her shoulders shook.

After realizing that he had been tricked by Lim Yoona, Li Zhixing completely stopped wanting to talk to her.

He sat back down at the computer with a dark expression, refocusing his attention on the screen.

I typed on the keyboard much harder than before.

After finishing her third bowl of noodles, Yoona rested on her chair for a while, clutching her stomach, before standing up and slowly strolling around the store to digest.

She seemed very interested in everything in the store.

She would look at the decorations on the wall, fiddle with the bell on the counter, and then walk around to the shelf where the cutlery was displayed.

"Did you work here before, Oppa?"

No one answered.

Yoona didn't mind.

She continued strolling around with her hands behind her back, then approached the counter and looked at the densely packed menu.

"Does Oppa cook all the dishes on the menu?"

Still no response.

So she nodded to herself.

"Hmm, not answering means you know everything."

Li Zhixing's temple twitched.

Lin Yoona walked to the kitchen door and peeked inside.

"Does this place close this late at night?"

"When you were a food delivery driver, what was the most orders you ever delivered in a day?"

"Does Oppa live around here? Can I go see him?"

Li Zhixing ignored her completely.

She didn't seem to care at all; on the contrary, she seemed to be genuinely enjoying the stroll.

As she walked over to the wine cabinet, she suddenly noticed several bottles of wine with Chinese characters printed on them, and her eyes lit up again.

"Is this Chinese baijiu? Dafa, 52 proof?"

Yoona's eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "Will I pass out after just one sip?"

Then, she noticed the shochu (a type of Chinese liquor) placed next to her.

Yoona secretly glanced back.

Li Zhixing was facing the computer and seemed not to notice her at all.

She pursed her lips, reached for a bottle of liquor, and gently twisted it open.

She first brought it close to her nose and then carefully took a sip.

The next second, she let out a soft "ha" from the spiciness.

Li Zhixing finally stopped typing.

He turned his head and looked at her expressionlessly.

Like someone caught stealing snacks, Lim Yoona rolled her eyes, then grinned at Li Zhixing and waved the wine bottle in her hand.

"Oppa, want to come together?"

Li Zhixing ignored her invitation.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked at her with his arms crossed.

"What exactly are you here for?"

Lim Yoona paused for a moment, her hand holding the wine bottle still.

She walked slowly to Li Zhixing, lowered her head and whispered, "I just wanted to see Oppa."

Li Zhixing looked at her coldly.

Lim Yoona raised her head, trying to make her tone sound lighter.

"Aren't we friends?"

"Shouldn't friends see each other often?"

"friend……"

Li Zhixing's temple throbbed.

Don't you think your change in attitude was abrupt?

Im Yoona blinked.

"No, it wasn't. All of that was a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Li Zhixing scoffed.

He looked at Lim Yoon-a, and his expression suddenly became more serious.

"Has something happened that I don't know about?"

Yoona's heart skipped a beat.

When she met Li Zhixing's probing gaze, her eyes involuntarily began to dart around.

Before she could think of an answer, Li Zhixing continued to ask:

"Did Jessica say something to you?"

"Was your previous attitude towards me really because of 'Speed ​​Scandal'?"

Yoona was stunned for a moment.

Jessica Unnie?

"Speed ​​Scandal"?

She had previously looked up the films that Li Zhixing had worked on on the Film Council's website, so she naturally knew that he had participated in the project "Speed ​​Scandal" as an assistant director.

Upon hearing his words, Lim Yoona quickly remembered that she had submitted information to that movie.

Connecting this with what Li Zhixing had just said, Lin Yoona had some vague guesses.

She immediately nodded vigorously, following this lead.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's because of that."

Li Zhixing stared at her.

Yoona forced herself to continue, "It's a misunderstanding. Jessica unnie has already scolded me."

She paused, then added confidently:

"That's why I forgave Oppa."

"forgive……"

Li Zhixing couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He always felt that Yoona wasn't telling the truth.

But seeing that she clearly wasn't going to tell the truth, he didn't bother to press her further.

He simply said coldly, "Aren't you leaving?"

"No rush, let's wait a little longer."

Lin Yoona shamelessly moved closer to him, her gaze suddenly falling on the computer screen in front of Li Zhixing.

"What is Oppa writing?"

Li Zhixing immediately reached out and blocked the screen.

But Yoona had already bent down and leaned closer.

"Well……"

Her eyes lit up.

"Dafa, the script?"

She got too close.

Strands of her hair brushed against the back of Li Zhixing's hand, and her profile was only a hair's breadth away from his lips.

Li Zhixing suddenly leaned back and blurted out the words instinctively.

"Ugh! Yoona, you're so annoying!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhixing realized that his tone had been a bit harsh.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, but saw Lin Yoona staring blankly at him.

She was neither angry nor aggrieved.

The corners of her mouth even slowly curved upwards.

There was a hint of inexplicable longing in his eyes.

Li Zhixing was completely baffled by her reaction.

"I'm insulting you, what are you laughing at?"

Looking at him, Lin Yoona finally couldn't help but raise her hand and gently cupped Li Zhixing's face.

She tried to smile, but her eyes gradually reddened.

"Oppa".

"Can you say another one to me?"
