Peninsula: It all started with the breakup

Chapter 4 Missing You

Just as Xie Mingmu went to the restroom, several more girls came out of the practice room, and their laughter could be faintly heard.

As soon as Xie Mingmu went outside, he saw nine girls walking ahead, and his already tense heart became even more nervous.

These nine people were TWICE, who were about to go out for lunch. Xie Mingmu recognized her at a glance among the nine people - Mina.

He hadn't expected to achieve his goal so quickly. The two of them weren't far apart, and judging from the current situation, Mina might not recognize him.

Because he was still wearing a mask and looking up, while Mina was still looking at Momo with lingering affection.

Just as the two were about to pass each other, Mina inexplicably turned to look at Xie Mingmu, somewhat surprised. It was the familiar beauty mark under her eye; it was him.

Sana, who was standing next to Mina, noticed that Mina had suddenly stopped talking and sensed that something was wrong. Full of curiosity, she first looked at Mina and then followed her gaze to find a man with his head tilted back, his mask still covered in blood from his nose.

Judging from Sana Minato's years of training, this man is definitely a handsome guy, even though he looks disheveled now.

But the wet bangs added a lot of unrestrained feeling, and this look is a fatal temptation for girls her age.

Because he was wearing a mask, only his profile could be seen, but the beauty mark under his eye gave Xie Mingmu a strangely sad air, which aroused Minatozaki Sana's protective instincts.

Sana Minatozaki, Mina Mina, and Momo are all from the same country, and the three of them are closer than others. Sana Minatozaki understands that this type of boy is exactly Mina Mina's type.

Having spent a long time with Mina, she understands her very well.

When she's not working, she usually plays games and occasionally goes shopping with them. She rarely pays attention to other boys. Plus, Mina once liked to peep, so Sana Minato thought she was a homosexual.

But the mystery was solved today. It turns out it wasn't that I didn't like them, but that I hadn't met anyone I clicked with.

Sana Minatozaki, who had made this guess, raised an eyebrow and watched Mina's expression change with great interest.

Xie Mingmu's heart was pounding, his heart was beating so fast he almost missed a beat, and this feeling made him feel uneasy all over.

Xie Mingmu had imagined their reunion many times. Some times he would pretend not to care, acting as if she didn't exist; others he would be extremely enthusiastic, relentlessly pursuing her and trying to win her back.

But when the moment actually arrived, Xie Mingmu froze in place like a piece of wood, as if Ma Lou had cast a spell on him.

Just as Xie Mingmu stood still, Mina only paused briefly before continuing on her way, as if she didn't recognize him. Only the perceptive Minatozaki Sana noticed the secret behind it.

Xie Mingmu felt a pang of pain as he watched Mina treat him like he was invisible. It was the same feeling he had felt on the day he was dumped.

After being dumped, Xie Mingmu wanted to indulge himself countless times, but he didn't like drinking and found smoking too unpleasant.

He couldn't bring himself to linger among a hundred flowers, because every time he thought of mounting his horse, he would remember her smiling face and the tearful sadness of her jealousy. Both of these thoughts would pierce his heart, ultimately leaving him with no interest in those women.

Xie Mingmu wouldn't allow Mingjing Nan to treat him like he was invisible, yet he could never forget her.

"Mina, Sashiburidana~~"

Upon hearing this greeting, Mina stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around to look at Xie Mingmu, her face bearing an expression that Xie Mingmu could not fathom.

Xie Mingmu originally thought that Mina recognized him but pretended not to see him, probably because she didn't want to see him again and would be impatient when she heard him greet her. But to his surprise, she had a smiling face, somewhat playful, and seemed a little reluctant to part.

Regardless, being able to see her again made this trip to Korea a complete success. Even if JYP kicks him out or Dispatch fires him, it would all be worth it.

Just like before, Xie Mingmu had imagined his lines for their reunion many times, but now, only one sentence came to his lips:

"Minami, how have you been lately?"

Actually, what Xie Mingmu really wanted to say was, I miss you, I really, really miss you, Mina.

Every time I eat at that Japanese restaurant, I think of you. I always order a ton of food, but I don't eat much of it, yet I still go there often.

Looking at her after so long, Xie Mingmu noticed that she had grown up quite a bit, her youthful awkwardness had diminished, and she had gained a lot of charm.

Sana Minato also looked on with amusement. As Mina turned to look at Xie Mingmu, the other six people didn't notice and continued walking.

At this moment, Momo also understood the Japanese sentence, stopped in her tracks, and realized that it was the same sentence spoken by the man with the nosebleed earlier. She was a little curious: did this man know Mina-chan?

At this moment, Sana Minato's gaze kept shifting between the two of them. She believed that she had grasped some incredible information and had already imagined many passionate scenarios in her mind.

"You've arrived."

This is a declarative sentence, meaning affirmation. Mina said this with a smile, even the mole on her nose revealed her pride.

Hearing this, Xie Mingmu felt a pang of nostalgia. This was the first thing she said when Xie Mingmu rejected a girl and then accompanied Mingjing Nan for a walk by the river. However, she later broke up with him and even deleted his contact information.

Did she miss me all along? Right? Maybe Mina was waiting for me to come to her. She must be regretting it now.

Seeing Xie Mingmu's eager yet inactive expression, Mina laughed, "You're still as clumsy as ever~"

Mina's tone was coquettish; hearing her soft, sweet voice, Xie Mingmu felt as if he had just eaten a frozen watermelon on a sweltering summer day.

Watching the two exchange words like martial arts masters sparring, Sana and Momo were completely bewildered: What on earth were they doing? With so little information revealed, it was really hard to guess their relationship.

Momo didn't think too much about it, assuming the two knew each other: "Mina-chan, I'm going to the car now, it's so hot."

Mina nodded. She didn't really want them to know about her past. If they did, they would annoy her to death her peaceful time playing games.

However, Minatozaki Sana was not so naive. With her sixth sense, she keenly felt that there must be an unspeakable relationship between the two. She did not want to leave, but instead wanted to stay here to observe the enemy's situation.

"Sana, aren't you going to the car with Momo? It's so hot in here, go and enjoy the air conditioning. I'll just say a few words to him and be right back."

"It's alright, it'll be fine in a bit." Sana Minatozaki, linking arms with Mina MAI, smiled innocently. 'Please, how could I leave in this situation? I'm definitely going to keep you informed!'

Mina could only look helplessly at Sana Minato, who knew exactly what she was thinking. The two exchanged a smile.

This smile made Xie Mingmu feel awkward. This was supposed to be a great opportunity to be alone with Mina, but it was interrupted by this girl who looked like Xiu Gou.

Xie Mingmu was preparing his words when a loud shout came from ahead.

"what!"
