Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 87 The Unexpected Sharon

Shen Yu felt that what he was seeing was Park Min-joo, a typical internet-addicted girl.

Although I had seen many different sides of Park Min-joo before, now...

Before the kimchi fried rice with a soft-boiled egg was served, from Shen Yu's perspective, the girl who had started the game was completely refreshed, as if she had activated a fourth personality in addition to her three personalities: lazy, slightly drunk, and crazy.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she controlled the game character, yet she managed to communicate with her teammates while simultaneously trash-talking the opposing enemies.

"..."

With such multi-threaded operations, Shen Yu felt she was even busier than when she was composing music herself.

"Yay!"

Park Min-joo, engrossed in her game while wearing headphones, would occasionally let out strange noises.

It's unclear whether the action made her happy or was intended to intimidate Shen Yu.

"Let me see, is this the kimchi fried rice in B03? And the jajangmyeon rice too."

After a gentle knock, a familiar shop assistant came in.

"All checked. The soft-boiled egg is there, along with a cup of hot chocolate milk and sparkling water, right?"

"That's right." Shen Yu took the food tray.

"I'll get the drink right away! Oh, Wu Youwan. Since you're already here, could you please help me out? Wouldn't it be better to just bring the water from the bar?"

The boy outside apologized as he brought over the drinks.

"Okay, the meal is ready. Please enjoy."

"Moshu, could you make a few copies for me..."

Before Shen Yu could thank the delivery guy, he saw him being dragged out by a female shop assistant.

"These two seem to have a good relationship."

Turning her head, Park Min-joo seemed to smell the aroma of kimchi fried rice. Her nose twitched, and her movements became even more swift and precise.

Even though Shen Yu didn't understand how to play LOL, he could tell from the "VICTORY" message that popped up on the screen in front of Park Min-joo that the girl had won this game.

"Phew, what a closely contested battle! Shen Yu, did you see it just now? We almost got counterattacked!"

"..."

"It's okay if you didn't understand. I'll teach you how to play after we finish eating!"

Picking up her kimchi fried rice, Park Min-joo used her left hand to take a spoonful, while her right hand continued scrolling through the game screen without interruption.

Multitasking is incredibly easy for him. "Do you like kimchi fried rice?"

I can also chat with Shen Yu.

Park Min-joo noticed that Shim Yu's computer screen was still showing the order completion page.

"It's alright, I quite like all of these."

"Me too, I basically like to eat everything, but I prefer Korean food! By the way."

She picked up a spoon, scooped up a mouthful of fried rice, and handed the end of the spoon to Shen Yu.

"Would you like to try some?"

……

Shen Yu didn't know when he had become close to Park Min-joo.

After eating kimchi fried rice, Park Min-joo also introduced Shim Woo to her specialty, stir-fried udon noodles.

It is said that she learned her signature dishes from her mother, who seemed unable to cook but was actually a very good cook.

According to her, the perfect stir-fried udon noodles are made by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce, minced garlic, and other seasonings, and then adding a large amount of shredded cabbage and udon noodles.

The girl continued to introduce herself without stopping, mentioning that her mother's kimchi fried rice was the best, and that her soft-boiled eggs were also perfectly fried.

At the same time, she didn't stop operating her hands. It seemed that the competition in the ranking match was very fierce. Sometimes she would even say half a sentence and then have to wait a while before continuing with Shen Yu.

This continued until the ranked matches were over. To let Shen Yu, who had been sitting in front of the computer with her and even treated her to a meal, experience the fun of an internet cafe, Park Min-joo opened the computer's game library and planned to teach Shen Yu how to play games similar to those on 4399.

"..."

"Want to try this? It's an obstacle course type, looks really simple! Just move the little flame up, down, left, and right, and I can help you play with the little water splashes."

Shen Yu had barely played mobile games in his previous life, let alone computer games.

Finding that Shen Yu wasn't very interested, Park Min-joo stopped trying to persuade him to give it a shot.

"Thanks for playing LOL with me. Does internet cafes mean nothing to you? What do you like to play at night? Tell me, I can go with you!"

Shen Yu dared not speak carelessly, for fear of being taken away by the police.

Oh, Park Min-joo is an adult now, that's alright then.

Her round cheeks are too deceptive.

"There are also nice night views near Incheon; I can take some nice photos for you."

Shen Yu didn't want his Leica camera to fail its "blessing" ceremony today.

"OK!"

……

Incheon Songdo.

Shen Yu knew there was a good spot for taking photos, but the best time to take photos was during the blue hour and the orange-red sunset.

However, the night view here is also very beautiful. The high-rise buildings are arranged in a well-organized manner, and the night view is beautiful, with a strong urban atmosphere.

After taking a few photos of Park Min-joo on the overpass, the girl, who was afraid of the cold, ran back to Shen Yu's side, took her coat, put it on, sat on the bench, and picked up a cup of hot milk tea that Shen Yu had bought for her.

"How is it? Is it working well?"

She took a sip of milk tea through a straw, then leaned her head close to Shen Yu to look at the viewfinder of his camera.

"I'm really good at taking pictures."

Shen Yu showed her several photos he had taken.

The first person I photographed after buying this camera was her.

"I'm sorry."

"What's wrong?"

"Your vlog didn't capture anything interesting, did it?" Park Min-joo pointed to the Pocket 3 that Shen Yu was still holding.

"I was too focused on the qualifying matches."

"I recorded all the interesting things, how come I didn't capture them on camera?"

On a bench near the slightly chilly Matsushima Park at night, one's emotions are stirred.

Compared to the brightly lit internet cafe, this dimly lit environment is more suitable for two people to get to know each other.

That's what Shen Yu thinks.

"Then thank you too."

"Huh? What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for striking up a conversation with me. Why did you want to talk to me?"

"Didn't I already say that?"

Shen Yu said "good-looking" more than once.

"Then thank you for thinking I'm pretty, just like I think you're handsome! You look a bit scary with sunglasses on, but you're actually quite dashing without them."

"Me?" Shen Yu went out without dressing up much today.

"Yes!"

"Then I'll thank you for your compliment."

"It's not a compliment, it's the truth." Park Min-joo glanced at Shen Yu, then put herself into the Pocket3's camera lens.

Looking at myself in the small viewfinder, I wondered, "Don't my ears look strange?"

"No, I told you, they look great and are perfect for earrings."

"I'll send you photos after I get my earrings done, but they might not look very good."

"Be more confident in yourself." Shen Yu wanted to pinch her cheek, but thankfully he managed to restrain himself.

Park Min-joo noticed her raised hand.

She glanced at Shen Yu, then tentatively brought her cheek close to where Shen Yu's fingers were.

"..."

Shen Yu couldn't help but pinch him.

Park Min-joo's cheeks are also very round; perhaps girls of this age are all exceptionally cute?

"Shen Yu".

"Um?"

"Will it be after today, or maybe in a little while?"

"And us?"

"And then we become strangers again?"
