Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 520 Slightly Advantageous
Faced with this awkward situation, Quan Xuanhe remained calm, reached out and grabbed the food, stuffing it into his mouth and enjoying it immensely.

"good to eat."

Seeing what he did, Liu Zhimin's eyes widened, her brows furrowed, and she looked at Quan Xuanhe with disbelief.

You actually ate it if I offered it to you?

Is this okay?

"what expression?"

Quan Xuanhe acted as if nothing had happened, glancing around at the suddenly stopped chopsticks of the others, their cautious gazes, and Liu Zhimin's suppressed emotions beside him, remaining completely calm and composed.

“Is that right?”

"Do we want it to be like a TV drama?"

Quan Xuanhe felt that the others' reactions were a bit too sensitive, treating these things as if they were something else entirely.

Faced with Quan Xuanhe's teasing, Jin Dongtian smiled and nodded in agreement, after all, it wasn't her who was angry, but Liu Zhimin.

As long as she cares about these things, she will always be in a passive position.

The atmosphere immediately eased again, and Ning Yizhuo was the one who gradually transformed the easing atmosphere into a harmonious and humorous one.

She handed the wrapped grilled meat to Kwon Heonhyuk with both hands, blinking her eyes like a clever little imp, but speaking quite cautiously. "Oppa, eat."

Seeing her actions and recalling Jin Dongtian's appearance just now, the group couldn't help but laugh.

Gisele, in particular, had a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. She suppressed a laugh, lowered her head, and secretly gave Ning Yizhu a light tap.

Why are you meddling in the affairs of those three people?

Liu Zhimin blinked, looked at the maknae, and suddenly a relaxed smile appeared on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.

"Hey Gu."

Quan Xuanhe watched Ning Yizhuo's cleverness, which was very successful, and couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.

It has to be a Chinese woman.

He reached out, took it, and put it in his mouth.

The popular girl group aespa personally fed her, which is actually quite enjoyable to think about.

"Speaking of which, hasn't it been a long time since we ate together?"

A meal can't be all about scheming and backstabbing; who could possibly eat that? We need to talk about something lighthearted.

"Right? When was the last time? I can't remember, it seems like it was in the summer."

Kim Dong-won naturally took over the conversation, his expression calm and composed, completely ignoring Yoo Ji-min standing next to him.

“Vest, you guys were just returning to Next Level back then, and now it’s almost the end of the year.”

Quan Xuanhe nodded.

"Oppa thinks time flies because oppa is too busy."

Ning Yizhuo chimed in at this moment, a slight smile appearing on her face as she spoke.

That's true. He was busy from the beginning to the end of the year with no time to rest. He kept filming projects and traveling non-stop, so he simply didn't have any time to rest.

He is probably one of the busiest celebrities in the entertainment industry.

"Work is quite busy, but towards the end..."

When Quan Xuanhe paused at this point, he naturally thought of the two film projects that he would most likely have scheduled for next year, which would basically take up more than half a year of his time.

"Will next year be even busier?"

At this moment, Liu Zhimin spoke up, her eyes filled with concern, clearly interested in his answer.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put down his chopsticks and took a sip of ice water: "Maybe. There should already be press releases about a movie project for next year."

"what movie?"

"Romance movie".

His answer surprised and intrigued everyone.

"Romance movies?"

"Actually, it's fine to continue playing fools."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhimin pursed her lips and suddenly said something that was unclear whether she was teasing him or genuinely meant it.

Watching him being all lovey-dovey and inseparable with others in front of the camera is not a very good experience.

These words made even Jin Dongtian chuckle. He turned his head slightly away, lowered his mouth, and his body trembled slightly as he tried to suppress his laughter.

Ning Yizhuo and Gisele burst into laughter, finding Liu Zhimin's words truly hilarious.

"thank you."

Upon hearing this, Quan Xuanhe looked at Liu Zhimin and met her sincere yet playful gaze. He smiled helplessly.

It's hard to imagine what mental state Liu Zhimin was in when she said those words.

"Does oppa play a pabo in a romance movie?"

Ning Yizhuo mustered up the courage to say those words, and before anyone else could laugh, she couldn't help but burst into laughter herself, her laughter hearty and unrestrained.

Several girls laughed so hard they were doubled over, laughing uncontrollably.

The tense atmosphere from just moments ago was completely dispelled, leaving only joyful laughter.

"A devoted lover."

Seeing how happy they were, Quan Xuanhe didn't want to spoil the fun and jokingly teased himself.

Liu Zhimin looked around, a little confused. She wasn't trying to be funny. She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and tasted a slightly bitter flavor.

"So what exactly is that you're talking about?"

"It seems you guys really don't care."

"The press release is already out; it's about a romance movie starring me and Kim Yoo-jung."

"The introduction is like this..."

After a pause, Quan Xuanhe fluently read out the following passage.

"This is a love story between a boy and a girl, spanning their high school years and the present. Set in 1999, the last year of the 20th century, it tells the story of Paula, a 17-year-old girl who values ​​friendship more than love, experiencing a painful but heartwarming first love, and then hearing new news about her first love in the 21st century."

"So, what about you?"

After hearing his summary, Liu Zhimin blinked, picked up her chopsticks, stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, and frowned with a happy expression.

"I'm the male lead. Judging from the synopsis, you should know that it's a romance movie told from the female perspective, so of course the female lead should be the main character."

"Kim Yoo-jung."

Kim Yoo-jung is quite well-known in South Korea, especially after the airing of "Red Heaven" a few months ago, which garnered considerable popularity and achieved a viewership rating of over 10% on SBS.

With this lineup, it can be considered a big splash.

Historical dramas also experienced a small revival this year, with shows like "Red Heavenly Secret," "Red-edged Sleeves," and "Longing" giving the genre, which had been on the verge of decline, a small resurgence.

"She's playing your lover..."

"So, do you think it's suitable?"

Quan Xuanhe asked casually with a smile.

"I don't know, I don't understand actors."

Jin Dongtian shook his head, muttered something under his breath, and poked around with his chopsticks. "That's basically how it is. After the show airs, it's broadcast, and after the broadcast, it's a show. It's basically a cycle like that."

He loves what he does, and being in a period of rapid growth, he is full of interest and passion for making movies.

"We are actually the same, returning and preparing to return."

Giselle chimed in.

They ate and chatted, and there were actually quite a few topics to talk about, but because of the conflict between Yoo Jimin and Kim Dong-won, neither of them spoke, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk in the middle acted as a messenger.

They were really arguing like little kids.

As if to deliberately retaliate against Jin Dongtian's earlier attack, Liu Zhimin personally wrapped a large lettuce-wrapped meat ball, held it to his mouth with both hands, and gazed at him expectantly.

Quan Xuanhe tried to reach out and take it, but Liu Zhimin didn't move, clearly indicating that she wanted to feed him by hand and put it in his mouth herself.

For no other reason than that damn competitive spirit.

Quan Xuanhe opened his mouth and moved it around, then looked at Liu Zhimin who was staring at him, moved his cheeks, and took a bite.

Liu Zhimin took the opportunity to stuff it into his mouth, her movements were careful, but it felt like filling soil, her fingers pushing it in.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk choked on his food, stuffing his mouth full.

When he took his first bite, his front teeth bit into something that was both soft and hard.

Liu Zhimin exclaimed in surprise at the right moment, and then withdrew her finger.

Her skin was fair and rosy, glistening with moisture. Fortunately, there were no teeth marks on it.

I bit my finger.

Liu Zhimin wiped her finger with a tissue and pouted, "Why didn't you watch where you were going? You bit my finger."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk swallowed and spoke more fluently: "I didn't know you had your finger near my mouth."

"That's because we're afraid it will leak out."

Liu Zhimin replied with that, but seeing Quan Xuanhe eating with relish, she wasn't angry. Instead, she was quite interested and deliberately glanced at Jin Dongtian.

"That's really thoughtful."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk smacked his lips, swallowed the last mouthful, picked up his water glass, took a sip to clear his head, and casually said this.

"By the way, you... are you alright now?"

Liu Zhimin suddenly moved closer to Quan Xuanhe, lowered her voice slightly, and her small face suddenly loomed in front of him. He could see the top of Liu Zhimin's head, and the fragrance of her shampoo and perfume filled his nostrils.

"What's wrong? In what way?"

Quan Xuanhe's heart skipped a beat. Seeing her like this, he thought she knew about what had happened a few days ago. He didn't expect her to be so patient and so emotionally stable.

"The airport."

Liu Zhimin looked puzzled, indicating that she didn't understand his question.

What are you thinking about?
A woman's innate sensitivity made her seem to have sensed something; her sixth sense told her that Kwon Seonhyuk was hiding something from her.

The questions and confusions remain from that impromptu meeting.

She wanted to ask, but considering the other members present, and also because he interrupted her, she had no choice but to give up.

"That's alright. You can see from the news that there's no discussion about it now, and my endorsements aren't affected."

"all in all."

"The hem of my clothes was slightly dirty."

Although it's almost December now, the Kwon Heon-hyuk incident only happened in October. More than a month has passed, and from a macro perspective, the situation is still in turmoil, so the public can't completely forget it.

Everyone suddenly realized.

We've eaten what we wanted to eat, and talked about what we wanted to talk about, so this meal is almost over.

The atmosphere between Liu Zhimin and Jin Dongtian was much better than before the meal. Although things hadn't completely warmed up between them, at least they were no longer at each other's throats, ready to explode at any moment.

Some things become less of a problem when they're brought into the open; it's only when things are kept under wraps and kept secret that a real problem arises over time.

"Don't argue when you get back, or this meal will have been for nothing."

“Minjung is great, and Jimin is wonderful too. Keep it up, you two sisters.”

Before leaving, Quan Xuanhe looked at Liu Zhimin and Jin Dongtian and said in a relaxed and natural tone.

The two stood by the roadside, wearing masks, with only their eyebrows and eyes visible.

Kim Dong-won glanced at Yoo Ji-min, then quickly looked away, lowering her head slightly. Wearing a thick down jacket, Kim Dong-won's short, black hair, reaching her ears, resembled a helmet, with the ends fluttering slightly on both sides of her face.

Liu Zhimin stood tall and proud. After hearing what he said, she looked at Jin Dongtian and had a change of heart. Of course, it was also possible that she was in a better mood after the meal and was not so angry anymore.

She felt she should be more tolerant, and besides, she had already said everything today, so what kind of trouble could Jin Dongtian possibly cause?

"Go back now, and don't let me see you two fighting and getting hurt next time we meet."

The van slowly pulled up to the side of the road. Quan Xuanhe gestured for the group to get in, and before closing the door, he gave them a final word of advice.

"Ningning and Gisele should also be careful."

Quan Xuanhe looked at Ning Yizhuo and Gisele who were sitting together, and instructed them to close the car door.

After Quan Xuanhe left, the atmosphere inside the car gradually quieted down, becoming increasingly quiet, even to an unnatural and eerie degree.

Ning Yizhuo and Gisele exchanged a glance, then turned their attention to the two people in front of them. They saw that the two women were looking down at their phones and ignoring each other.

We arrived at the dormitory.

The car door slowly opened, and Liu Zhimin got out of the car first. Looking at Jin Dongtian, who was bending down to get out of the nanny van, her eyes flashed with reluctance, but she still softened her heart.

He reached out and helped her up.

After Jin Dong came down, he felt it, looked up at her in surprise, and his expression suddenly became a little awkward as he avoided her gaze.

He withdrew his arm, avoiding her gaze, and lowered his head slightly.

He seems a bit stubborn.

"Let's go."

Seeing her reaction, Liu Zhimin felt even more at ease, and even revealed a calm aura. Looking at the members coming down one after another, she waved her hand, and the demeanor of the captain appeared in her every move.

Jin Dongtian glanced at her back, muttered something under his breath, and then said nothing more, simply following behind.

The aespa van slowly drove away. Finally, after turning his gaze away, Kwon Heonhyuk returned home in his own van.

There was some online discussion about him at the Blue Dragon Awards, but compared to the other winners, Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who was only presenting an award, was not the focus.

In fact, the Blue Dragon Awards was his first public appearance since the airport incident. People who care about him are very concerned, while those who don't care don't pay attention.

When he appeared, trolls naturally started attacking him indiscriminately. There are trolls everywhere, not to mention the South Korean internet, which is very harsh on celebrities.

Fortunately, YG Entertainment did a good job controlling the comments; the few negative posts disappeared completely, as if nothing had happened, leaving only positive comments.

Who says Korean websites don't have a system for controlling comments? When Lisa first decided to go on Crazy Horse, there were tons of negative comments in China, but there wasn't a ripple at all on Korean websites, which is very unusual.

It was only when Lisa did not renew her individual contract that YG relaxed its control over online public opinion, leading to a series of negative comments and controversies.

This year's Blue Dragon Awards were uneventful, and the year passed by uneventfully. It was around that time that Noh Jung-eui struck up a conversation with Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

They were still very positive towards him.

If he's willing, I believe we can take things a step further and go deeper.
