The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 174 What happened to Li Zhien

"Sulli, I'm leaving first. Should I pick you up tomorrow?" Bae Yongjun stood at the bedroom door, looking at Choi Sulli who was covered in the quilt.

"No need, Ji Eun-unnie can take me there." Choi Sulli's clear voice sounded muffled through the quilt.

"Have a good rest and go to bed early." Pei Yongjun said.

"I'm already asleep!" Choi Sulli snored under the quilt, then burst out laughing.

Pei Yongjun chuckled twice, turned off the lights and closed the door.

The bedroom on the third floor fell into darkness again.

Cui Xueli suddenly turned back the quilt, revealing her little face, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"What's going on?"

She mumbled and ruffled her hair, "If you think so, why don't you say it?"

"But this is Ji Eun-unnie's house. It would be so embarrassing if Ji Eun-unnie found out."

"But, but..."

It’s so warm.

She remembered the feeling in her thigh again.

The heat flowed like a stream, getting hotter and hotter as if there was no end.

As she was lost in thought, she felt her body become strange again.

Choi Sulli shook her head quickly, rolled around on the bed for several times, and suddenly remembered something. She sat up and ran to the table beside her.

The towel that Pei Yongjun just used is placed here.

Choi Sulli hesitated for a moment, picked up a corner of the towel with her hand, and sniffed it secretly.

"Well!"

Her face suddenly became hot again. She threw down the towel as if she had been electrocuted, rushed back to the bed and got into the quilt.

After tossing and turning the quilt for a long time, Choi Sulli's drunkenness finally came back.

Just like what IU said, she would sleep very deeply after getting drunk.

Silence finally returned to the room, leaving only her faint breathing.

With a light click, the bathroom door opened again, and a petite figure stood at the door.

Lee Ji-eun was wrapped in a bath towel, her hair was still a little wet, and her body was full of the fragrance of bubble bath. The hot water made her skin look white and tender.

She walked out quietly, her bare feet leaving wet marks on the floor.

Arriving at the door, she carefully opened it. Li Zhien glanced at Choi Sulli who was quietly lying on the bed, with her innocent face, sleeping soundly. Then she pushed the door open and left, then closed it quietly.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Lee Ji-eun returned to her bedroom, changed into pajamas, and walked downstairs. It had become quiet here, with only some messy traces left from the party.

Pei Yongjun has disappeared.

----

Pei Yongjun drove towards his home.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was still a lot of traffic in Seoul. Bae Yong-jun drove slowly, thinking about every detail of his acquaintance with Lee Ji-eun.

Although tonight's scene was erotic, it was also abnormal.

Pei Yongjun felt that something must have happened to her.

Until their last meeting, the two of them had been interacting like normal friends. Perhaps because of the car accident that night, they had some special memories. However, IU didn't seem to have any special behavior overall, let alone waving at her in the bathtub like she did tonight, or even...

The image of Lee Ji-eun's delicate body like a mermaid in the bathtub and her slender and tender fish-like hands flashed through his mind.

Really...

Pei Yongjun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind recalled the last time they met in the KBS parking lot. He slowed down the car, pulled over to the side of the road, and thought carefully.

I accidentally touched her cheek. If she had had the same thoughts as now, the situation in the parking lot would not have ended like that.

Something must have happened between that day and tonight.

Pei Yongjun's mind moved, and a white prismatic fragment popped out from his heart. It was the fragment of truth he got from Lin Nayeon.

Should I use it on Lee Ji-eun?
His fingers drummed slowly on the steering wheel, finally letting go for a moment.

I know too little now, and it is not the best time to use the fragments of truth.

We need to get to know Lee Ji-eun more carefully. The reason behind such a super female singer doing what she did tonight despite Choi Sulli being just a stone's throw away must be unusual.

Bae Yong-jun let out a breath, put aside the matter of Lee Ji-eun for the moment, looked at the traffic, and simply continued to park on the side of the road. He took out his mobile phone and started checking messages.

[I went to Myeongdong with Chaewon tonight. There were so many people outside.]

[But there are Christmas trees everywhere, and people are handing out gifts, so I got two~]

Isn't it cute?

This is a message from Concubine Kwon.

Then there are the photos.

Two ugly but cute little key chains, one on each side, lying on two white and tender little hands.

The palm of the left hand feels a little fleshy, which Pei Yongjun is very familiar with. It should belong to Consort Kwon. The hand on the right looks thin, with very thin fingers. It should belong to Kim Chae-won.

Jin Caiyuan, whose position was taken away, is now very familiar with Quan Enbi.

Then Queen Kwon sent a selfie.

In the photo, she is wearing a Christmas hat, her delicate facial features revealing a happy smile, she makes a scissors hand gesture to the camera, and sparkling earrings hang on her earlobes on both sides of her cheeks, making her look bright and charming.

[Oppa, thank you for the gift! It’s really beautiful!]

The earrings were a Christmas gift from Bae Young-joon and she seemed to like them very much.

Then she posted a lot of photos from time to time, sharing the details of playing together in Myeongdong tonight, snacks, small accessories, and various strange performances. She did not mention at all that Bae Young-jun was not with her, and she had a lot of fun playing with Kim Chae-won.

[Very beautiful, I'll post a few more. I want to see them.]

Pei Yongjun first replied to the photo, then slowly looked through the chat history behind it, and the gentle atmosphere of life came to his face.

He replied with a few interesting photos and asked if she had returned.

Quan Enfei did not reply immediately, it seems that she is still playing outside.

Pei Yongjun continued to scroll through the messages and stopped at a person called [Incheon No. 1 Iron Fist]. This was Liu Zhimin's Kakao account, and the avatar was a steamed bun with a vicious frown on its face.

Only then did he realize that Liu Zhimin, who had not spoken to him for several days, sent him another message during dinner.

【0 points male! ! ! 】

Although Pei Yongjun didn't know what this meant exactly, it was definitely not a good thing.

When the two of them chatted a few days ago, Liu Zhimin also sent this word, which reminded him of Liu Zhimin's puffed cheeks.

Not to mention, if you are good-looking, you will be cute even when you are angry.

Pei Yongjun chuckled and flipped through their chat history, but his fingers suddenly stopped.

Bae Young-jun: [Can't you tell me why I can't go? If you tell me, I won't go.]

Why did Liu Zhimin tell herself that she couldn’t go to Li Zhien’s Christmas party?

she……

Know something?
