Peninsula: After Bai Yueguang left, I went crazy killing people!

Chapter 987 Bae Suzy's Thoughts
"What are you looking at? Even if you stick your eyes on her, you still won't have a chance." Lee Ji-eun, wearing a red plaid shirt, followed closely behind and, seeing Bae Suzy's expression, immediately complained.

"maybe"

Bae Suzy just smiled at her without arguing, and walked towards her team, saying with a smile, "Who can predict the future?"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door to the office that Li Yang had prepared for her, went inside, and then, while putting her things down, said, "But you, you seem a little off?"

"Is something wrong with me?" Lee Ji-eun, who had been leaning against the window admiring the view outside, paused slightly upon hearing this.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're IU, the number one female artist on the peninsula right now!"

Bae Soo-ji looked at her strangely and said, "What brings you to my humble abode today?"

As he spoke, he said with a playful smile, "You know, normally you have to book a drink several days in advance."

"Ugh, the smell of vinegar in this office is pungent."

Lee Ji-eun interrupted with a look of disgust, then said, "Didn't I say that I have a trip to Yeo-ae Island? I might as well take this opportunity to check on how our Suzy-ssi's travel plans are going?"

"Really?"

Bae Soo-ji asked, seemingly somewhat incredulous.

"What else can we do?" Lee Ji-eun asked back with a smile.

"fine."

Bae Suzy suddenly stopped asking questions and instead poured Lee Ji-eun a glass of water, bringing it to her while smiling and saying, "So, in Lee Ji-eun's opinion, how is my strategy progressing?"

"of course"

As Lee Ji-eun spoke, she showed Bae Suzy the results of her phone search and said with a pout, "Of course it's a complete mess!"

She was showing the trending topics list, which was almost entirely dominated by the names of two people.

"Then IUxi has been superficial this time too."

Bae Suzy withdrew her gaze, her expression unchanged, instead a faint smile appearing on her face, and said, "It's just a rumor trending on social media. Besides, the headlines are all just 'suspected,' and neither of the parties involved has come forward to make an official announcement."

On the sofa, Lee Ji-eun's mouth dropped open upon hearing this, as if she had been struck by lightning. She couldn't help but ask, "No, Suzy-ssi, who gave you such strong confidence?"

As she spoke, her lips twitched slightly, and then she emphasized, "Both of them are trending on social media, trending without any PR intentions. Doesn't that represent their attitudes?"

Why can it represent?

As Bae Suzy was speaking, she interrupted Lee Ji-eun again and continued, "Then let me ask you, was Li Yang the first person to make headlines for a dating scandal with a girl?"

Lee Ji-eun paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No."

Not only that, but she knows quite a lot of them.

Bae Suzy continued, "Then let me ask you again, haven't any idols been trending on social media in the past?"

Lee Ji-eun shook her head again.

"Isn't it over then?"

Bae Suzy laughed and said, "It's not like this is the first time we've done something like this. Every scandal always starts off with a bang, but then it ends abruptly."

"You can't just assume it's an official announcement because it's the most talked-about event this time."

Bae Suzy looked at Lee Ji-eun and said, "Besides, you seem to know Li Yang better than I do. Would he do something that doesn't generate profit?"

As she spoke, she smiled confidently and said, "I guess the investment from JYP gave him hope, so he's just trying to generate some buzz again. Isn't that what he usually does?"

"That's true, but why do I feel like this is all for real?" Lee Ji-eun seemed still puzzled, muttering to herself for a moment before suddenly realizing something. She looked up again, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she understood something, and said, "So, since you're so sure, why not just go and ask Li Yang for clarification?" Upon hearing this, Bae Soo-ji's smile froze for a moment, a fleeting stiffness appearing, before she smiled again, her tone relaxed, and said, "Why ask? Is there any need to ask?"

Before she could finish speaking, Lee Ji-eun had already leaned forward, getting close enough to see right through her. Her sharp eyes seemed to see right through people as she said, "So, you're actually feeling guilty too, right?"

As he spoke, as if he had guessed some kind of answer, his smile grew even wider, and he said, "You're afraid of hearing answers you don't want to hear, and receiving responses you don't want to receive."

"how is this possible?"

Bae Suzy chuckled and said, "It's not that bad, it really isn't."

"No, sister, really?"

Lee Ji-eun seemed genuinely bewildered by Bae Suzy's reaction, looking completely clueless as she asked blankly, "I'm really starting to wonder what's going on in your head. Li Yang has been treating you like that, how can you still be so calm?"

"Want to know?"

Bae Suzy smiled knowingly.

Lee Ji-eun immediately nodded rapidly, as if pounding garlic.

Bae Suzy smiled, thought for a moment, and then said, "Have you ever heard the saying that a good ex should be like they're dead?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Lee Ji-eun nodded.

Bae Suzy blinked and asked with a smile, "Then why do you think it's best if everyone hopes their partner's ex dies?"

"because."

Lee Ji-eun drew out her words, as if somewhat taken aback, and said, "Is it because your ex keeps harassing you?"

"IUxi, that joke is so lame, it's not funny at all!"

Bae Suzy glanced at him with a half-smile, clearly not believing that Lee Ji-eun couldn't even figure out such a simple meaning.

What else could it be because of?
Of course, it's a lingering, unresolved relationship!
especially.
The more you invest in your ex, the harder it is to truly let go.

What is this called?

Correct.

It should be called the sunk cost effect.
As Bae Suzy thought about it, she seemed to gain more confidence, and the corners of her mouth turned up even more.

Is Li Yang's reaction to his irritability and temper a form of disgust?

Perhaps it was the frustration of his own incompetence that made him realize he couldn't let go of the past?

Moreover, under what circumstances would a man lose control of his temper?
We're all adults; the answer is obvious.

Therefore, she's not in a hurry.
There's really no rush.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time.

Bae Suzy also has a lot to do. Just like an animal arriving at a zoo for the first time, she needs to undergo a period of desensitization before proceeding with the subsequent procedures.

"But you, Lee Ji-eun, what happened today?" Bae Suzy snapped out of her daze, about to complain to Lee Ji-eun, when she realized her friend was almost at the office door.

"Hey, where are you going?" Bae Soo-ji asked.

"I'll go ask if this trending topic is real or fake!" As soon as she finished speaking, Lee Ji-eun's figure disappeared from the doorway.
