Peninsula: It all started with the breakup

Chapter 31 Naomi Watanabe

Xie Mingmu was a little worried about this situation, but also a little happy. He likes to face challenges. In this kind of personal variety show, all the burden is on the individual. Xie Mingmu, whose idol is a weightlifting champion, likes this feeling of pressure.

After leaving the building, Xie Mingmu went straight home. Since there wasn't enough time and there wasn't even a workstation for him at the company, he figured he might as well go home and write his plans in peace and quiet.

This plan would take at least some time to complete, but Minister Arnold set a very short timeframe of only three days.

However, before going home, Xie Mingmu planned to buy a car, as it would be inconvenient to travel without one.

After returning home, Xie Mingmu turned off his phone. Lately, Park Jiyeon had been harassing him at night, constantly asking him to move and deliver takeout. Xie Mingmu felt a headache coming on. If he couldn't handle it, couldn't he at least avoid it?

After turning off the phone, Xie Mingmu put it aside, thinking, "Let's see how it rings this time. Then I can explain, 'Oh, it's not that I didn't want to answer your call, it's just that my phone was off.'"

After working non-stop for several days, Xie Mingmu decided to reward himself. The house was connected to the internet, so he turned on his computer and started playing a competitive game.

Xie Mingmu originally only wanted to get his first win before starting work, but he played from morning till night and didn't win a single game. Xie Mingmu was very angry. He didn't expect that even he, a peerless expert, couldn't carry four teammates who were drooling over their wins. Xie Mingmu was about to explode with anger, but that feeling of frustration lingered in his heart. He clicked the mouse to continue searching for teammates.

"Ding-dong~~~"

"Who is it?" Xie Mingmu was furious. "I don't want anything, just get out of here."

"Xie Mingmu!" A deep and sexy voice came from behind.

"ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh." Xie Mingmu sighed, clicked "decline," and shut down his computer. He knew he wouldn't get his first win of the day. It was all because that voice was so distinctive—it was Park Jiyeon! "I turned off my phone, why are you still looking for me?"

"Bang bang bang!" Park Jiyeon pounded on the door when Xie Mingmu still didn't open it.

"It's late, I'm going to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow. Goodnight, Ms. Park Jiyeon." Xie Mingmu said this offhand. He hadn't checked the time and just wanted to get rid of Park Jiyeon.

"You're talking nonsense, it's not even eight o'clock yet. Open the door!"

"I don't have time, I'm busy with work!"

"I heard you playing games!" Park Jiyeon's ears were very sharp. "I'm giving you one minute to open the door, hurry up!" Seeing no response, Park Jiyeon continued to increase her pressure: "If you're so capable, turn off your game. If you're so capable, open the door."

Having no other choice, Xie Mingmu reluctantly opened the door for Park Jiyeon, only to find her looking at him coldly.

Park Jiyeon really surprised him today. She was wearing a light blue, loose-fitting shirt, shorts, and most importantly, black stockings. She even wore high heels. She had light makeup on, highlighting her eyebrows, giving her a sexy and alluring look.

"Wow~" Xie Mingmu was momentarily stunned and exclaimed in amazement. His eyes lit up instantly, and the frustration of losing more than ten games in a row vanished.

Xie Mingmu rarely saw Park Jiyeon dressed up so formally; she was usually without makeup and wearing casual clothes.

But for Xie Mingmu, Park Ji-yeon was like a goddess suddenly coming to his home. Xie Mingmu was definitely very welcoming. It wasn't that Xie Mingmu hadn't seen many beautiful women, but someone like Park Ji-yeon was rare.

For champions like Yamamoto Maika, Suzuki Airi, Suzuki Yuuka, Kosaka Nao, Kanon, Fujii Karen, Kang Tae-ri, Traudon Naomi, Kanamura Miku, Araki Yuko, Miyoshi Ayaka, Asahina Aya... Park Ji-yeon may not be able to maintain a 100% win rate, but a 90% win rate is still acceptable.

Of course, Naomi Watanabe is the most stunning among them, making her a more suitable choice for all readers.

Park Jiyeon noticed the strange smile on Xie Mingmu's face. People really do smile when they see beautiful things. Seeing Xie Mingmu's odd look, she asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you, I never expected you to look so ordinary usually, but you look so beautiful when you dress up. My goodness, you look great." Xie Mingmu said bluntly, being quite realistic, and then he noticed Park Jiyeon's strange look.

"What are you looking at now?"

"Look at you, you country bumpkin." Park Jiyeon was in a good mood when Xie Mingmu praised her, but she was a little dissatisfied when he said she was usually just average, so she made a sarcastic remark. Then she walked past Xie Mingmu into the house, went to the computer desk, and touched it: "Why did you turn off the computer? My ears aren't deaf, and the computer is so hot, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Haha~~" Xie Mingmu chuckled awkwardly, the embarrassment of his lie being exposed filling the air.

"Why can't I get through to your phone?" Park Jiyeon asked, puzzled.

"What are you doing? Ouch~~" Xie Mingmu lay weakly on the sofa. After playing all day, Xie Mingmu finally felt his muscles were a little sore: "You're not my boss, why do you keep looking for me? Besides, I don't need to report to you this frequently."

Park Jiyeon pouted and said coldly, "So you think I'm annoying?"

"No, no," Xie Mingmu quickly denied. Feeling a little uneasy under Park Jiyeon's gaze, Xie Mingmu usually started teasing Park Jiyeon with sarcastic remarks at this point. But today, he felt strange. Was it because Park Jiyeon was so stunning that his language system malfunctioned? Xie Mingmu was puzzled. He didn't consider himself that kind of person.

When people are nervous, they unconsciously make many small movements. He touched his pocket, took something out, and put it in Park Jiyeon's hand.

Park Jiyeon looked down and saw it was an orange, from Jeju Island. She looked at Xie Mingmu with confusion, but her hands still peeled the orange and ate it bite by bite. "Where did you get this Jeju Island specialty from?"

Xie Mingmu shrugged. "I brought this back for you when I was filming in Jeju Island. I remembered you said you liked to eat this." Actually, this orange was leftover from Xie Mingmu's meal.

Park Jiyeon, eating an orange, couldn't hide the smile on her face: "Smooth talker!"

Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Xie Mingmu realized he hadn't eaten all day. Seeing Park Jiyeon approaching, and not knowing what she wanted, he decided to fill his stomach first. After all, even death row inmates get a full meal before their execution! Xie Mingmu was determined not to starve to death.

Xie Mingmu entered the kitchen and, out of politeness, poked his head out and called out to Park Jiyeon:

"Are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."
