Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 7

Both Lisa and Jungkook originally signed up for figure skating. However, they parted ways after a few lessons. Under the ice skating club's suggestion, Lisa went to learn speed skating. As for Jungkook, he was noticed by a coach from the ice hockey club next door and was hauled off to learn ice hockey.

Since both activities still involved exercising, the two children's parents were not too particular about the exact sport they signed up for.

Slowly, it was nearly the end of the school term.

Lisa went to visit her grandpa and he restated his promise of bringing her to Disneyland if she becomes the top scorer in class.

At this time, thee was no Disneyland in Korea.

In order to achieve her dream of going to Disneyland, Lisa activated the skill that she was best at oppressing Jungkook. She informed Jungkook, if you score full marks for both paper again, I would stuff you pencil case with caterpillars. There would one for each day, and it would be indifferent kind every day.

Under this threat, Jungkook purposely answered a fill-in-the-blank question for the maths paper wrongly, resulting in a score of 98.

After factoring in the literature paper, his total score was 198.

Mm, still the class's top scorer.

Lisa was a little dejected.

Her mother told her that she needed to self-reflect.

Lisa thought that this was very reasonable. From that day on, she formed the habit of eating walnuts every day. You she needed to boost her brain power.

....

During the winter vacation, both Lisa and Jungkook signed up for a volunteer program for primary school students organized by the community club youth guides.

They were all assigned to various places of interest as free guides for tourists. Lisa and Jungkook were sent to the ruins of a battlefield in the west of the city. The sides of the battlefield were overrun with weeds while the actual site held excavated items from historical records organized to make the area seem happening.

Unfortunately, it seemed that not much people were interested in touring the remnants of a battlefield in this age of peace. The human traffic here was pitiful compared to that of other scenic attractions.

In order to raise the children's enthusiasm, the activity organizer regulated that after very successfully completed tour, the young guides could ask for the tourists ticket stubs. Every three stubs can be exchanged for a red flower and the red flowers can be exchanged for various prizes such as schoolbags, stationery, toys, etc.

There were always four youth guides on duty at the battlefield ruins. At this unpopular attraction, the awkward scenario of not having enough tourists for everyone would inevitably occur.

Facing this competitive environment, Lisa was in her element.

Upon seeing anyone, this rascal would noisily bound over, blink her doe eyes and innocently ask: "Older brother/ older sister/ uncle/ auntie/ grandpa/ grandma, can I guide you through this place? It's free".

Who could say no to that innocent doe eyes?

And then, in a daze, this group of people would be led away by Lisa.

The history of the battlefield was rather dry. Lisa did not properly memorize it when underdoing training. As she rambled on, she forgot what came next and her mind went blank.

It's alright, those weren't important at all! Self-confidence was still key!

Therefore, Lisa only paused for a little while before starting to BS, earnestly sharing a whole bunch of nonsense.

The tourists all came in a daze and left in the same state. Before leaving, they gave Lisa their ticket stubs.

Principal Manoban was standing at the entrance. He stopped a tourist and quietly asked, "How was she as a guide?"

The tourist had a bewildered expression. "She said that this was the battlefield of Ultraman and Godzilla, and carried out a demonstration of the weapons".

Principal Manoban was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear. At the same time, he was a little puzzled, "Why did you still give her your ticket stub?"

The tourist's eyes shone, "She is just too adorable!"

....

Lisa obtained yet another ticket stub and came out to see the arrival of a new tourist. It was a young woman. At her side were two boys scrambling to be her guide.

Jungkook was standing behind the youth guide table, quietly looking at them.

He seemed somewhat lonely.

Lisa felt something surge in her heart. The feeling was along the line of "this person is under my care". She walked over and grabbed Jungkook's hand, leading him over to the young woman.

The two boys were still competing. One said, "Auntie, I've memorized everything very well, choose me", while the other went "Auntie, I've won a speech competition before, choose me choose me".

Lisa opened her mouth, and in her naturally cutesy voice spoke in an unhurried manner that clearly enunciated very word, "Hello, older sister".

These three words immediately struck the female tourist heart.

The female tourist was stirred and looked at Lisa with a smile. "Why did you call me older sister?"

"You're so young, I can't possibly call you auntie".

Oh! The female tourist clutched her heart whose child was this, she really wanted to steal her home!

Lisa tugged at Jungkook's hand and said, "Older sister, his name is Jeon Jungkook. We are volunteering as free our guides. Jungkook has yet to guide once today! Can you let him guide you? Pretty please!"

The female tourist looked at Jungkook. Oh my, she wanted to steal this one as well!

"You can also call me older sister". She beamed at Jungkook.

Jungkook was a little embarrassed. He softly called out, "Older sister".

And then he welcomed his first tour of the day.

Following this, the tourists to the battlefield ruins were basically monopolized by Lisa and Jungkook. The other volunteers in the same group silently grumbled in their hearts but did not dare to vocalize their anger.

At the end this activity, Lisa obtained 7 red flowers in total while Jungkook obtained 6. Lisa took all 13 red flowers to the teacher. For herself, she exchanged a giant Winnie the Pooh Plush toy while for Jungkook, she exchanged an eraser.

Jungkook looked at the eraser in his hand, and was so touched that he wanted to hit someone.

He should have expected that he was her free labour.

There must be something wrong with his brain for him feel touched earlier.
