After tasting the club's food and drinks, Li Zhenyu approved them.

“The quality is not the best, but it is in line with domestic tastes.”

Jin Zhiyan let out a long sigh and smiled again, "I spent a lot of money and asked the bartender to help me choose."

"well done."

Li Zhenyu's praise made her feel particularly happy. "Do you want to go up there and take a look?"

Li Zhenyu raised his wrist to check the time and rejected her proposal. "It's getting late. I have an appointment with Sister Fuzhen for dinner tonight."

"Ah, it's already this late."

Jin Zhiyan looked down at her watch and realized the passage of time.

As they walked out side by side, Jin Zhiyan asked curiously, "Zhenyu, who bought the watch you're wearing?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious why you always wear the same one. Don't you like the one I gave you?"

Kim Ji-yeon had previously given him a Vacheron Constantin classic series, and the Breguet marine series given by Yoon Hye-na were both kept in the glass cabinet in the cloakroom of the Kim House.

“This has a special meaning to me.”

Li Zhenyu held the watch in his hand, his expression reminiscent as if he was thinking of something.

Jin Zhiyan wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that his expression didn't look happy, she held back the question and said, "Oh."

The dry response brought the topic to an end.

The car also drove along the coastal road and stopped in front of the restaurant where we had agreed to meet.

'The House of Ama.'

It is a very ordinary seaside shop. There are six tables in the shop made of simple boards, and the side facing the sea is completely open.

Facing the salty sea breeze, eat the fresh seafood caught from the sea in the early morning.

Then taste the traditional side dishes from Jeju Island and listen to the sound of the waves hitting the shore.

“It feels so good!”

Li Fuzhen took off her sunglasses and looked at the sea view not far away.

This kind of leisurely and comfortable feeling can never be experienced in Seoul.

The aunt who owns the store seems to live a life isolated from the world and is completely unaware of the identities of the three people.

They just treated them as tourists who came to the store regularly, served them all kinds of delicious food with warm hospitality, and invited them to taste their special side dishes and sauces.

“This is only available in Jeju. You can’t eat it outside.”

"Yes, we will eat well, thank you auntie."

"You're welcome, eat quickly! If it's not enough, tell me, there's still plenty."

"Inside!"

Smiling and thanking the aunt again, Li Zhenyu picked up his chopsticks and looked at the two people in front of him, "Eat, aunt is still watching, what are you waiting for?"

Li Fuzhen picked up a side dish with chopsticks. It was so black and looked like a delicate tree root, which made her instinctively resist.

But when she saw the aunt's expectant smile, she couldn't coldly reject her kindness.

Seeing her putting the side dish into her mouth with a forced smile, Li Zhenyu showed a happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

Lee Boo-jung is now more humane than before.

In the past, she would never consider these things. A side dish like this that looked a bit strange and scary would probably not even have a chance to be served on the table.

Li Zhenyu picked up a large piece of side dish with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth.

When you chew it in big bites, it tastes a bit dry at first, followed by the taste of sea salt, and then it seems as if the stem juice bursts out.

The sweet aftertaste lingers on the palate, brightening the eyes.

The taste of being crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside is also very unique, and there is a sweet and bitter aftertaste in the throat when you swallow it.

"Mmm, this is delicious!"

Kim Ji-yeon pointed at the black side dish with her chopsticks and was very surprised that it could look so amazing.

This dish must be added to the club's menu.

After eating it, the guests will definitely be amazed and impressed.

Li Fuzhen's performance was very calm, but after swallowing the last bite, she couldn't wait to pick up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Moreover, the amount clamped this time is several times greater than before.

“Hehe~”

Li Zhenyu couldn't hold back the smile in his heart, and before Li Fuzhen's cold and surprised gaze stole his attention, he turned his head and looked towards the seaside.

"Look, it's a young couple arguing."

On the beach, a young couple was arguing. The girl was crying very sadly and the boy's face was full of heartache.

I wanted to comfort her, but the hand I extended seemed to be blocked from the girl by an invisible obstacle.

Every time he was about to touch her, he would quietly take it back.

The heartbreaking sadness makes people want to find out the truth.

"What on earth are they arguing about?"

Kim Ji-yeon put down her chopsticks and looked straight at the couple on the beach.

"money."

Li Fuzhen gave a cold answer. In her opinion, more than 90% of the conflicts in ordinary people's lives come from money.

The girl and the boy's behavior now made her very sure of her guess.

"Zhenyu, what about you!"

Li Zhenyu thought for two seconds and gave the same answer, "I think they must have encountered difficulties created by reality."

Although not as straightforward as Lee Boo-jeong's, the meaning expressed is actually the same.

It can force two young people in love to make a cruel choice.

It's nothing more than the reality before us: house, family, and marriage.

All of these can only be summed up in one word: money. Jin Zhiyan tutted her lips with disdain and said, "You two are really a perfect match. You both look like capitalists."

Li Zhenyu used his chopsticks to support the plate and chuckled, "Oh, where did this Chu Ding come from?"

"ah!"

Kim Ji-yeon slammed the table and yelled, "How dare you say that you are an elementary school student, what a childish guy."

"It's indeed Chu Ding."

Seeing that she was easily provoked and angry, Li Fuzhen nodded seriously and commented: "Ji Yan, you are old enough to be a mother.

Don't be so angry, it's harmful to your health. After dinner, do you want me to take a walk on the beach with you?"

"Otherwise, let this guy calm you down."

"You two, you are such annoying bad guys."

Seeing the two women teasing each other and himself being used as a tool, Li Zhenyu protested: "Hey, I'm still sitting here."

The two looked at each other and smiled, "Really? Ah~ I forgot."

"Hahaha……"

While they were chatting and laughing, Kim Ji-yeon suddenly stopped talking and gestured for the two to look towards the door.

The boy, half of his body soaked and distraught, walked into the store and sat at the table blankly like a walking corpse without a soul.

"Child, drink some hot water!"

The aunt brought a cup of hot water and placed it in front of him.

The boy raised his head blankly, staring at his deformed self in the hot water, and his tears suddenly collapsed.

“Wow, ah, ah…”

The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment, they lost interest in continuing the joke.

Looking out, the girl was no longer on the beach.

The unbridled wailing in my ears seemed to pour out all the helplessness and grievances in my heart.
