From that Korean city.

Chapter 587: Late Night Snack at the Riverside
late at night.

Suburbs of Incheon.

At a small stall near the mouth of the Han River, this night snack stall which normally has almost no customers, welcomed a car tonight, and four figures got out of the car.

"Is it here? It's so far away."

After parking the car, Park Hyomin looked towards the small stall on the side of the road, her tone a little uncertain.

Because the midnight snack stall that Lin Yi introduced didn’t even have a tent, it only had a bare cart and a few small tables.

Only after seeing Lin Yi nod in confirmation did he purse his lips and frown, "Teacher Lin, how did you find this place? There is no village in front and no shop behind. There are not even a few people along the way."

"Otherwise, how can this be called a treasure place? People don't set up stalls just to make money. Don't you see those fishing rods by the railing?"

As Lin Yi spoke, the three people next to him looked over there again, this time more seriously and carefully.

Soon, with Lin Yi's reminder, they finally discovered several fishing rods behind the cart. At this time, they were inserted in the gaps of the railings, fishing above the Han River.

"fishing?"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yang immediately exclaimed, "That's not possible. Fishing in the middle of the night is a bit crazy."

"What's so crazy about this? You can catch the big fish by fishing at night."

After saying this, Lin Yi stopped talking and led the three of them to a vendor over there. When they got close, he smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm here again. Do you have any goods tonight?"

What Lin Yi spoke was not Korean or English, but pure Mandarin Chinese.

The reason for speaking Chinese is very obvious. It is naturally because the stall owner in front of him is not from here. He is one of our own, a genuine Sichuanese.

When Uncle Chuan Ye saw Lin Yi coming, his wrinkled bronze face also smiled, "Lin boy, long time no see, but you are unlucky tonight, I waited all night and there was no stock. If you want to eat, you can only eat the stock during the day."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I believe in your cooking skills, uncle. Let's do it the same as before. First, grill the fish. I'll come over and tell you about the rest later."

Facing Lin Yi's statement, the old man just glanced at the girls behind him and laughed again, "No problem, you can find a seat and help me watch the fishing rod."

"Uh-huh, thank you for your help, uncle."

"Small things."

After a few hearty greetings, Uncle Chuan Ye stood up from his recliner, walked to the side of the cart, opened a foam box, grabbed a big fish that had been slaughtered in the afternoon, and started the first business of the night.

Lin Yi, who was at the back, took Park Hyomin and the other two to choose a table and chairs, and sat down on each side.

At this moment, a cool river breeze happened to blow by. The breeze under the night sky was like a melodious ancient ballad, awakening the tranquility and memories hidden deep in everyone's heart.

Lifting up the strands of hair that were blown by the evening breeze, Little Sun said with emotion, "It feels so comfortable. The last time I had a midnight snack like this was when I was a trainee."

Following that, Park Hyomin also agreed with Little Sun and added to her opinion.

“Yes, that’s right. But it’s not that I don’t have the time or opportunity to go out for a midnight snack, but now it’s really hard to find places like this in Seoul.”

"Oppa, how did you find this place? It's so hard to find."

When asked by Park Ji-yeon, Lin Yi smiled and briefly described the process.

"This uncle came here to take care of his grandson. This year, the child just happened to be able to go to school, so he had nothing to do and picked up his hobby when he was young, which was fishing. Then it happened that there was a group for fellow villagers here, and I was in it, so we got to know each other."

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Xiao Yang looked back at the fishing rods. The subtle sound of the bells was pleasant but not noisy under the breeze from the river.

She looked at the fishing rod with a puzzled look, "But what does fishing have to do with running a midnight snack stand?"

"He used to run a grilled fish stall in his hometown, but he stopped doing it after he retired. Now, while he's fishing, he has nothing else to do, so he got a small cart so he can grill the fish right after catching them. Fresh ingredients need to be processed and eaten in time to avoid waste."

When he talked about the latter part, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing, because his uncle did have the potential to be a funny person.

When Xiao Yang and the others heard this answer, they were all stunned.

"what?"

"Is it still possible?"

"Great! That's amazing."

Lin Yi continued with a smile, "At first he planned to grill and eat it himself, but later he found that he caught too many fish and couldn't finish them all by himself, so he simply set up a few tables and waited for the right person."

"I see, this old man is just joking." Little Sun made the conclusion and also looked at the figure who was grilling fish over there.

Nodding, Lin Yi replied, "You can say that, but don't worry about the taste, it's very delicious."

At this time, Park Ji-yeon said a little, "Oppa, I definitely trust you when it comes to the taste, but the hygiene of the fish..."

"This is an estuary, close to the sea, so the water quality is fine. Don't worry, if this stall was in Seoul, I wouldn't dare to put a single bite of this midnight snack in my mouth."

Lin Yi understood Park Ji-yeon's worries. Thinking of the water quality of the Han River that contained excessive levels of Viagra and pills, he now had to install several filters before he could even use the tap water in his apartment, let alone drink it.

After Lin Yi said this, the girls next to him finally put their minds at ease. They smelled the aroma of the grilled fish over there and became a little excited.

While waiting for the delicious food, Lin Yi brought a handwritten menu with the names of some vegetables on it.

"Come, there is barbecue here, you can choose what you want to eat."

"Oppa, is there no meat?"

As a dragon cub, Park Ji-yeon wanted to eat meat, and she felt a little dissatisfied when looking at the names of these vegetarian dishes.

"No, my uncle said fresh meat spoils easily, and he was too lazy to use frozen meat. So he just skewered some vegetables and ate them with the grilled fish."

So, after the girls ordered a few skewers of the dishes they wanted to eat, they returned the menu to Lin Yi.

As she watched him walk over to chat with the old man, Park Ji-yeon looked at Park Hyo-min and asked anxiously, "Ouni, I remember you have a schedule tomorrow."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Park Hyomin, who didn't know why Park Ji-yeon asked this, answered quickly.

However, she didn't notice that the little sun next to her rolled her eyes speechlessly. This best friend of hers was indeed very smart sometimes, but most of the time she was a little silly.

So, when Park Ji-yeon heard Park Hyo-min's answer, she immediately laughed and said, "Hehe, then I'll make an appointment with Oppa for tomorrow's photo shoot. Anyway, I have a talk show interview to attend tomorrow night."

After hearing this, Park Hyomin finally realized what was going on.

A trace of discomfort just emerged in my heart, but it was quickly suppressed.

The reason is very simple. She is not Lin Yi's main wife. On the surface, they are just friends, and their close relationship cannot be made public.

So even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she could only smile and answer Park Ji-yeon, "Sure, you can talk to him later, but that guy will definitely be lazy. This time I had to ask him for a long time before he agreed." "Indeed, Oppa is too lazy. He even went out for a midnight snack tonight. He will definitely not get up early tomorrow."

When mentioning Lin Yi's personality, Park Ji-yeon complained a little depressed.

Beside him, Little Sun glanced at Park Hyomin with amusement.

She didn't know whether he had been asking for help for a long time or not, but considering Lin Yi's personality, he came to the studio so late at night. And then she thought about Park Hyomin's outfit, plus the scent of heather that she just smelled.

Humph, if there is no deeper development between these two, she would never believe it even if you kill her.

Lin Yi quickly returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, he noticed that the three people were looking at him. He quickly asked, "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Oppa, I'm free tomorrow." Park Ji-yeon followed closely.

The comfortable river breeze, or sea breeze, had already forgotten what Lin Yi had just promised, so his answer was very interesting. "Oh, if you have time, just sleep a little longer. It's a rare opportunity to rest, so make up for the sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Park Hyomin and Xiao Yang both burst into laughter.

Park Ji-yeon started to act coquettishly with a bit of resentment, "Ah, Oppa, didn't you just say you would take a photo of me?"

"Ok?"

Finally remembering the situation, Lin Yi looked at Park Hyo Min, who spread her hands and shrugged. So he turned to look at Park Ji Yeon, "Are you so anxious? I just want to get a good night's sleep tomorrow."

Lin Yi, who came back from Europe this time, was a little slow in adjusting to the jet lag. He is still using the time zone there. He has been a night owl for several days, sleeping all day and getting up in the afternoon.

"We don't have much time to go back to Seoul this time. We have to go back to Malaysia in a few days, so we have to hurry up."

After hearing Park Ji-yeon's answer, Xiao Yang asked curiously, "Ji-yeon, are you in such a hurry for your tour? I remember Hyo-min just told me about your performance last week, why are you going to continue it now?"

Before Park Ji-yeon could speak, Park Hyo-min took the lead in explaining to Little Sun.

"Sunkyu, this isn't a tour, it's a fan meeting."

Seeing that several people were discussing the itinerary and instantly ignored him and started a new discussion, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyebrows.

He lowered his head, took out his cell phone, and reported his itinerary to Bambi who was still busy at the time.

After a while, when the uncle brought an iron stove with grilled fish to the table, everyone stopped talking, put down their phones, and turned their eyes to the iron plate covered with the big fish and side dishes.

"The fish is ready, you guys eat first, I'll go grill some vegetables for you. Lin boy, I have some wine, would you like some?"

Facing Uncle Chuan Ye's enthusiasm, Lin Yi glanced at Little Sun and the other two and shook his head to decline. "Uncle, let's not drink tonight. I'll come over and drink with you next time when I'm free."

As the only man among the group, he must stay awake at all times.

"Yes, yes, safety first, safety first, that's what we should do."

The old uncle finally came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving the few people with enough private space.

Lin Yi took up his chopsticks and took the lead in taking a bite of the fish and putting it into his mouth. "Eat it quickly, don't be in a daze. This fish tastes better when it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."

After seeing Lin Yi pick up his chopsticks, Xiao Taiyang and the other two picked up their chopsticks one after another and joined the group eating fish.

Lin Yi clicked his tongue when watching this scene. Here, in Neon, some rules in certain aspects can really give men a lot of self-esteem.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just focus on eating.

Lin Yi got to know so many idols from popular girl groups and had many meals with them. Basically, every one of them would wait for him to pick up their chopsticks first before they would follow suit.

It has nothing to do with whether the relationship is good or bad, or whether it is close or not.

Even when he was having dinner with Lee So Hee, Bae Suzy, Goo Hara and others for the first time, they were not very familiar with each other, and they always waited for Lin Yi to pick up his chopsticks first.

In fact, Lin Yi is not a male chauvinist, he is very casual.

He just understands some old rules.

For example, when the elderly or the host do not pick up their chopsticks or sit at the table, young people still have to show respect.

There are such rules in China, but they have become less and less important over time, and people prefer to be natural and casual.

But for some male chauvinists, they still prefer to be in control, which will lead to some contradictions and conflicts in the future.

That's why Lin Yi had those thoughts just now. The rules that he was taught since childhood are reflected differently from different perspectives.

It can be said to be respecting the rules, or it can be said to be a bad habit, or it can even be said to be erasing one's personality.

But it must be said that for men, the dignity and self-confidence in their hearts were raised to the highest level at that moment.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but smack his lips again when he thought of the women's movement on the peninsula in the near future.

Fortunately, our own Bambi has perfectly integrated the rules of the old times and the beliefs of the new times in this regard, and did not go as far as Xu Xian did in the future and go down the extreme path.

Thinking of Xu Xian, Lin Yi immediately looked at the little sun, "By the way, Sunkyu, what is your youngest doing recently?"

"Who? Xiaoxian?"

When Xiao Yang, who was enjoying her midnight snack, heard Lin Yi's question, she asked back in a somewhat strange tone. She was not sure why this guy suddenly asked about his own youngest member.

After seeing Lin Yi nodded, she recalled the last time she met Xu Xian and replied, "Didn't she, Taeyeon, and Tiffany just return recently? They should be doing activities. What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to her about?"

"That's it."

Lin Yi muttered something softly, but didn't say anything in detail.

When Xiao Taiyang found out that Lin Yi didn't continue talking, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked him to pay attention to Xu Xian's schedule when he got back and tell him when the time comes.

In response, Lin Yi raised his glass and clinked it with hers in amusement, "Then I'll trouble you, Sunkyu."

Park Hyomin, who saw this, said, "Would you like a drink?"

"Wine?" Lin Yi shook his head. "Forget about the wine. I still have to drive later."

"Kuoluo and drinks, I have them in my car."

"That's fine."

Following the nods of Lin Yi and Xiao Taiyang, Park Hyomin called Park Jiyeon and walked towards the car not far away.

When Xiao Yang saw them leave, he immediately moved the table and stool closer, leaned over to Lin Yi's ear and asked, "Lin Yi, what's going on between you and Hyo Min?"
