Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 26 Confession

As she left the convenience store, Lim Nayeon quickly put the things she had bought into her handbag, her heart pounding uncontrollably as if she were about to do something naughty, accompanied by a sense of nervousness and trepidation.

A few minutes later, Zhou Wenzhe arrived in his car. He saw Lin Nayeon looking around anxiously by the roadside, stopped the car in front of her, rolled down the window, and said, "Nayeon, get in."

Suddenly a car stopped in front of her. Lin Nayeon was thinking of walking away quickly when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. After seeing that it was Zhou Wenzhe, she opened the car door in surprise and got in.

"Whose car is this?"

"Mine."

"You rented it?"

"No, I just bought it." Zhou Wenzhe stepped on the gas and drove away.

"Just bought it? When did you come to Korea?"

"Actually, I've been here for a few days, but I've been busy, so I haven't been able to contact you."

"Oh, I thought you just arrived today."

"Are you alright coming out so late?"

"It's okay, I'll ask Jeongyeon to keep it a secret and just say I went home."

"Why are you still like you were when you were little? By the way, how is Auntie's health?"

"Yes, it's fine."

"Where's your sister? She should be in college by now."

Zhou Wenzhe also remembers that Lin Nayeon has a younger sister who is three years younger than her. Because their parents divorced when they were young, the two of them lived with their mother from a young age.

"Yes, I'm studying in the UK."

"Not bad."

"Yeah, she's better than me." Lim Nayeon was still very proud of her younger sister. Although she was also a good student, she no longer had the opportunity to continue her studies at university.

The two chatted for a while and soon returned to Zhou Wenzhe's home.

As soon as she entered, Lim Nayeon started to tour the place with great excitement.

"This isn't another house you bought, is it?"

"Yeah, it's alright."

"Are you planning to stay here long-term?"

"Yes, that's what I'm planning to do. Otherwise, why would I spend so much money?"

"Really? That's great!" Lim Nayeon excitedly grabbed Zhou Wenzhe's hand.

"Please have a seat, I'll go get your medicine."

"Um."

Lim Nayeon sat on the sofa with a smile on her face, wondering if Zhou Wenzhe stayed in Korea because of her. If he confessed to her later, should she be reserved or agree immediately?

Ugh, so annoying.

But I'm also very happy.

Soon, Zhou Wenzhe came out with the medicine. He was holding a glass of water and then handed Lin Nayeon a pill that looked like dark chocolate, saying, "Take this first."

Lim Nayeon took the pills, smelled the pungent medicinal odor, and looked troubled: "Does this medicine really work?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely work, and this medicine can also improve your physical condition."

"Alright then." Lin Na-yeon trusted Zhou Wen-zhe quite a bit. She slowly put the pill into her mouth, mustered up her courage, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"Wow, it's so bitter." Then, she drank the rest of the water.

Watching her take the pill, Zhou Wenzhe turned around, went to the bathroom to get a hot towel, and came back.

"Sit still, there's also an external application."

Zhou Wenzhe helped Lin Nalian lie on her side, then supported her left leg, which had a hidden injury, and placed it on the sofa. He then rolled up her skirt to reveal her fair calves and applied a hot towel to them.

Lin Nayeon blushed and looked at Zhou Wenzhe with deep affection. Right now, she just wanted time to pass more slowly.

After the hot compress, Zhou Wenzhe, wearing disposable rubber gloves, sat next to her and carefully applied the topical medicine evenly to Lin Nalian's calves.

After applying the ointment, he carefully wrapped her calves with plastic wrap.

"How is it? Can you feel anything?" Zhou Wenzhe asked, taking off his gloves.

"Yes, it's tingly, numb, and a little... very comfortable." Lim Na-yeon couldn't quite describe the feeling, but it was incredibly relaxing, a comfort that came from the bottom of her heart.

This leg injury has been bothering her for over a decade. Whenever it's windy, rainy, or when she overexerts herself, she experiences excruciating pain. Sometimes the pain is so severe that she has to take painkillers, and over time, she has developed a tolerance to them.

"Apply this topical medicine once a week, for at least 6 hours each time. After one month, stop for half a month. This is considered one course of treatment. There are a total of four courses of treatment. The oral medicine needs to be taken every day, just one pill a day. After one month, stop for half a month. Also, there are four courses of treatment."

"It takes this long?"

"Of course, your injury has been going on for too long, only this way can it be fully cured."

"Okay, how much is this medicine? I'll pay you."

"Why are you talking to me about money? Just remember to take your medicine."

"Okay, I got it." Lin Nayeon took Zhou Wenzhe's arm and leaned on his shoulder. At this moment, she felt very sweet and enjoyed the sense of security that this man gave her.

The two of them snuggled together like that.

Gradually, things became somewhat ambiguous between the two.

Zhou Wenzhe was also quite nervous at this moment. He hadn't felt this way in a long time, and the nervousness he felt now was completely different from when he was doing missions before. Even when he was nervous before, he was still confident in himself, but now he was completely at a loss and didn't know what to do next.

Lin Na-yeon was also very anxious. She wanted to clarify her relationship with Zhou Wenzhe, but she was afraid that doing so would backfire, what if...

Neither of them spoke until Zhou Wenzhe finally broke the awkward silence.

"Nayeon, are you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy."

"Let's watch a movie then."

"OK."

Because Lim Nayeon's legs were immobile, Zhou Wenzhe carried her to the media room and placed her on the enclosed sofa bed.

"What movie do you want to watch?" Zhou Wenzhe turned on the projector, opened Netflix, and then handed the remote control to Lin Nalian.

"Oh, there's a movie here! I've been wanting to watch it but haven't had time." Lin Na-yeon chose a romance film called "Your Wedding" and then urged Zhou Wen-zhe to turn off the lights.

After turning off the lights, Lim Na-yeon beckoned Zhou Wenzhe to lie down next to her.

The two lay on the comfortable sofa, covered with a blanket, quietly enjoying the romantic movie.

This movie mainly tells the story of a college couple, from falling in love to breaking up, meeting again, falling in love again, and breaking up again.

This story is somewhat similar to the situation of Zhou Wenzhe and Lin Nalian, so the two of them read it with great interest.

However, the movie doesn't have a happy ending. The girl marries someone else, and the boy leaves her wedding dejectedly.

After the movie ended, Lim Na-yeon was still deeply moved. She had initially hoped that the two of them would eventually become a couple, but she never expected it to end like this.

This illustrates that life is unpredictable, so don't wait until it's too late to regret it.

On the other hand, it also shows that having once possessed something is a kind of happiness.

Thinking of this, Lin Nayeon took several deep breaths and cheered herself up in her heart. Just when she mustered up the courage to confess to Zhou Wenzhe, he spoke first.

"Nayeon, I have something to tell you."
