Once a boundless ocean

  The atmosphere was silent and awkward.

  Yin Xian and Ham Eun-jung stared at each other for a while, then burst out laughing together.

  "We shouldn't be so embarrassed, should we?" Xian Enjing said as she walked to the chopping board and picked up a knife to prepare vegetables.

  When feeling awkward, finding something to do can be very helpful in relieving the atmosphere.

  "Alright, Ahn Jeong-ah, just go wash the rice and I'll take care of this." Yoon Hyun snatched the kitchen knife from Ahn Jeong-ah's hand and handed her the rice he was about to wash.

  Obviously, he was worried that Xian Jing wouldn't do a good job.

  Then Xian Jingben's smile, which had finally been squeezed out with great difficulty, disappeared again.

  "It's actually fine if you just stay here and chat with me, no need to do anything." Yoon Hyun quickly realized his mistake and hurriedly made amends.

  Then he was kicked by Xian Jing.

  "Ow!" Yeon-hyeon cried out in mock pain.

  Xian Enjing was already pale after being stared at by Yin Xian for a moment.

  This footwork seems to have brought the two back to their pre-marriage state, just like when they were filming "Coffee Prince" together.

  The atmosphere in the kitchen also became more relaxed.

  ……

  "En Jing." Yin Xian said while chopping vegetables.

  "Really?" Ham En was seriously washing rice.

  "That pillow..."

  "Ah! You still have the nerve to say that!" Xian Jing's face turned proud and arrogant, and she kicked Yin Xian again, "You just want to laugh at me for drooling in my sleep, don't you?"

  “……No way……I was just……” Yoon Hyun's kick really hurt this time, and the second half of the sentence he had planned to use to tease Cham Eun-jung got stuck in his throat.

  "I've already thrown it away." Xian Jing covered Yun Xian's mouth.

  Yin Xian was speechless again for a while.

  "Why don't you come visit our company's recording studio sometime?" Yoon Hyun brought up another topic.

  "What about 'Some'? Hasn't your album been released already?" Hwang In-jung immediately knew what Yoon Hyun was referring to.

  "This song has nothing to do with the album. It's something I promised to give you." Yoon Hyun said with a serious face.

  "This... still has to be a company..." Xian Jing's gaze at Yun Xian suddenly became very complicated.

  ...fell silent again.

  "There's something I think I should tell you." Yoon Hyun suddenly spoke up again.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Are you feeling a bit down because of recent events?" Yun Xian asked Ham Eun-jung.

  "Is it Jie? No!" Xian Enjing's face was filled with complex emotions.

  "It was actually my intention, conveyed through my sister, not to let you contact me. I just didn't expect her to tell Qiu Li." Yin Xian thought for a moment and helped explain to Li Qiu Li, "I'll have my sister come and explain it to you again later."

  Xian En was stunned for a moment, and the complex expression on her face became even more obscure.

  "Why didn't you just tell me directly?" Xian En quietly squeezed out a sentence.

  "I was arranged by my sister. As for what reason, you can ask her." Yin Xian shrank in shame.

  How could he possibly not know what's behind Xiǎo ēn Jìng's words? His own words are also carefully chosen.

  These words really don't need to be said very clearly. Especially when Yin Xian himself was completely unsure why Ham Eunjung would be unhappy with Lee Gyu-ri because of this matter. Is it brotherly love or something else...?

  The atmosphere is a bit awkward.

  "In this album of mine, apart from "The Song in My Heart", there's actually another song that has something to do with you." Yoon Hyun changed the subject again.

  "Oh? Which one." Xian Enjing's hand, which was preparing a cold dish, paused for a moment. Immediately, she said with a hint of realization: "That English song?"

  "Yes. Actually, I got the inspiration when I saw your bare face that night." Yoon Hyun was buried in his head, following Gochugaru, also known as Korean chili peppers.

  "You don't need makeup to cover up... You're beautiful without it..." Xian En quietly recalled the lyrics of that song.

  "If it weren't for the timing, I had originally planned to sing this song to you on the night we moved into our new home together." Yoon Hyun's tone was filled with deep regret, "But... sigh..."

  "Oppa, thank you. I really like that song." Xian Enjing said in a low voice.

  ……

  Fall silent again.

  "Are we now the divorced ex-husband and ex-wife reminiscing about old times here?" The atmosphere felt a bit heavy, so Yoon Hyun tried to liven it up.

  "Isn't it just a couple who broke up due to family pressure rather than divorce?" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

  "Ah! Bao Lan! You're actually eavesdropping outside!" Yin Xian said, pretending to be angry and embarrassed, but secretly feeling relieved.

  "You two, since you still have feelings for each other, just get back together! Besides, there's no family pressure now." Quan Bao Lan was still hiding outside the door and wouldn't come in.

  "Indigo Uni! How many times have I told you, don't talk nonsense!" Xian Enjing was about to go crazy.

  "An Jing, don't be shy. Who knows who it was, that day after coming back from the ice rink, and then dragged me to accompany her to buy a new pillow the next day?" Quan Bao Lan's voice became more and more teasing.

  "Are these two things related? She smashed the pillow?" Yin Xian was stunned for a moment, "Do I deserve to be hated that much?"

  "It's not broken, it's just soaked from crying. Alas, the little white ball has dissolved, and now it's all water..."

  "Oh, Baolan Ou Ni!" Xian Jing directly rushed out of the kitchen, and then there was a commotion outside.

  However, Xian Jing did not return to the kitchen again.

  Although Yoon Hyun seemed like he had something more to say, but since Cham Eun-jung wasn't there and he was alone in the kitchen, he actually felt a bit relieved.

  After more than three hours of hard work, all the ingredients were finally ready. Then, after putting the stir-fried rice cake on the fire to start stewing, Yin Xian rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and walked out of the kitchen.

  The living room outside the kitchen was empty and deserted.

  "Has Julie and Soo-yeon come back? If they have, I'll start cooking." Yoon Hyun shouted from the floor of the not-so-empty living room towards several closed bedroom doors.

  "Not yet!" answered Hyun-jeong from a certain room.

  "You guys are really something, I'm also here to see you, and yet you leave me alone outside like this, all playing in your own rooms, don't you feel embarrassed? " Yun Xian complained, getting up from the floor, "And there's not even a sofa in the living room, where did that sofa go?"

  No one responded to him this time.

  Yin Xian went straight to knock on the bedroom door.

  The response was the sound of the lock on his bedroom door.

  "Ah! Color uncle, what are you going to do!" Park Ji-yeon's voice came out from the room.

  "Didn't you call me over to play?" Yun Xian said with a bit of grievance.

  "I'm still waiting for you to treat me to barbecue! Hmph!" Park Ji-yeon said with a full stomach.

  Yin Xian, who was a bit frustrated, got up again and returned to the kitchen.

  Of course, he wasn't really out of options. He just suddenly remembered that in his past life, the dish was called "Guo Bao Rou", and in this life in Korea, it's called "Sugar Vinegar Meat". The meat needs to be deep-fried first... he seemed to have forgotten...

  It wasn't until half an hour later that Yin Xian finally finished preparing everything.

  The remaining dishes, Yin Xian estimated, would take only ten or so minutes from start to finish.

  Then he walked out of the kitchen and lay down directly on the living room floor.

  Still no one came out of the room to talk to him.

  Park Hye-min came out for a while, probably to go to the bathroom, and saw Yoon Hyun lying there. He felt a bit embarrassed at first, but wanted to chat with him for a bit. However, he was pulled back into the room by Jung Bo-mi after just two sentences.

  It's not known how much time had passed, but Yun Hyun was getting a bit sleepy. Park Ji-yeon came out of the room: "Saejae uncle, Guri just called me and said she'll be back soon, so you should start preparing dinner..."

  "She's quite straightforward!" Yoon Hyun chuckled and got up.

  "Oppa, are you tired?" Park Hyo-min, who followed Park Ji-yeon out, looked a bit worried.

  "It's nothing, I'm just getting a bit sleepy from waiting."

  Although it is estimated that these six girls have hardly ever cooked in the kitchen, the cooking equipment in their dormitory is really good. At least the fire is very strong. In just twenty minutes, five hot dishes were completed. Then he began to invite Park Ji-yeon, who had been waiting outside with green eyes, to start serving the dishes.

  "Is this how you all eat in the dorm?" Yoon Hyun looked at the two cold dishes and five hot dishes, a plate of stir-fried rice cakes, and a pot of soup that they had simply placed on the floor.

  "The dormitory was originally not big, clearing out the living room occasionally can still practice dance and other things at home." Li Juliy said on the side.

  "What do you usually eat?"

  "In the company, I just eat in the staff canteen. Usually, I just order some takeout and that's it." Li Julai listened to the nonchalant response.

  Just as the two were still chatting, Park Ji-yeon on the other side had already started stirring the spoon in a very impolite manner.

  Under Park Ji-yeon's lead, the girls completely shed their inhibitions and started fighting.

  "Oppa, why aren't you eating?" At this time, the only one who would think of Yoon Hyun and be polite to him was Park Hyeo Min.

  "It's okay, you guys eat first. I'll just have some soup." Yoon Hyun smiled and expressed his gratitude for Park Hyeon-min's concern.

  Actually, Park Hyo Min just said that, but her hands didn't stop moving at all.

  In just half an hour, a big table... um, full of dishes, were all left with empty plates.

  The soup in the pot was drunk clean.

  "How long has it been since you've had a good meal? Is CCM abusing you?" Yoon Hyun's gaze towards the girls became somewhat... sympathetic.

  "Yoon Hyun OPPA," said Jung Baeul, who had eaten his fill and was now being cute, "In the past when we were promoting our song, we had to maintain our figures, how could we dare eat so much..."

  "Poor kids. What are you going to do after dinner?" Yoon Hyun asked, "Ji-hyun, go wash the dishes."

  "Ah! Why me!" Park Ji-yeon protested, lying down on the floor as she couldn't sit still.

  "It's because you're busy inside." Park Soo-yeon said with a straight face.

  "You're bullying a minor!" Park Ji-yeon shouted as she started cleaning up the table... uh, floor.

  Yoon Hyun was just joking at first, but seeing that the other girls didn't move, he suddenly understood why Park Ji-yeon looked like a model when she was working in the kitchen.

  What surprised him was that his sisters were calm and collected, and even Xiao Meng felt it was a matter of course.

  "This is really an ethical girl group!" Yoon Hyun-ah nodded in agreement.

  "Shall we go to Wangda tonight?" said Xian Jing suddenly.

  "With so many people going there, aren't you afraid of something happening?" Yoon Hyun retorted.

  "It's just makeup, it doesn't matter." Zhenbaolan didn't think much of it either.

  "We went out shopping in the afternoon and no one recognized us." Park Soo-yeon chimed in.

  "But my car can't fit so many people..." Yun Xian suddenly remembered that none of these girls seemed to have a car...

  "What do you mean by what are we going to do?" Park Ji-yeon, who was still working hard washing dishes in the kitchen, shouted.

  "I am... just asking casually." Yin Xian smiled a bit awkwardly.

  "It's okay if you can't go out, it's fine to stay at home. There are some things that I think need to be clarified by Oppa Yoon Hyun. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well here." Park Soo-yeon said suddenly.

  "How can you sleep badly?" Yoon Hyun was a bit curious.

  "Oh! Soo-yeon eoni!" Ham Eun-jung immediately started acting cute and spoiled.

  "What's going on?" Yun Xian's heart skipped a beat. Is it related to Ham Eun-jung?

  We're just friends!

  "About you and Enjing." Li Julai nodded as if suddenly enlightened, then quickly got into character...

  "Don't rush! Wait for me to finish washing the dishes!" Park Ji-hyun in the kitchen is again showing her presence...

  ……
