Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 562 One Year After the Breakup
"I hope you have fun, unnie."

"Did you take any photos? Let me see them."

Chou Tzu-yu's smile didn't seem too different; it was just as gentle and soft as usual, and she chatted as if nothing was wrong.

Upon hearing this, Sana Minatozaki shook her head slightly, her tone a little regretful, "The photos are still in the camera; I haven't taken many pictures with my phone."

However, she wasn't disappointed. "I'll bring the camera over later to look at the photos I took yesterday!"

"The photos are so good, I'm thinking of uploading them to Instagram."

Kwon Heonhyuk is indeed a skilled photographer, to the point that his technique is so good that it can be a little unbelievable.

It's funny, but some girls are reluctant to break up because their photography skills are too good, and they're afraid that no one will take photos of them in the future.

Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu smiled and said, "Okay."

The two spoke in a harmonious and amicable tone, unlike what the members had imagined—that she might have some awkwardness with Minatozaki Sana.

On second thought, it's been a full year since Chou Tzu-yu and Kwon Hyun-hyuk broke up.

Over the course of this year, their relationship slowly recovered from its lowest point, eventually reaching a level that was difficult to fathom.

Yu Dingyan then interjected, "Come and have a taste, eat more while it's still hot."

Kim Da-hyun stood next to her, already picking up food with her chopsticks and looking like she was enjoying it.

"it is good."

Chou Tzu-yu looked at her, nodded slightly, then smiled at Minatozaki Sana, then slightly moved away from her, walked to Yoo Jeong-yeon's side, took the chopsticks, tasted a bite, and nodded in praise as she ate.

"good to eat."

"It's delicious, eat more."

Sana Minato turned her head slightly, her gaze fixed on Tzuyu's back, her eyes filled with an unreadable expression.

Yoo Jeongyeon left, and Minatozaki Sana went back to wash up and also left.

The room fell silent again. Zhou Ziyu glanced at Kim Dahyun, who was sitting on the sofa again, pursed her lips slightly, quietly put down her chopsticks, and strolled back to her room alone, closing the door quietly.

The sound of the latch made Kim Da-hyun slightly raise her head and look back at the bedroom where Chou Tzu-yu had closed the door again.

Ok…

Kim Da-hyun didn't think much of it, or perhaps she didn't want to speculate too much, and lowered her head again.

Chou Tzu-yu knocked on the door, slowly sat back down on the edge of the bed, and took out her phone to text Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

Actually, Zhou Ziyu was going to text him yesterday when she saw it was snowing outside, but after a brief hesitation, she remembered that Kwon Hyun-hyuk and Minatozaki Sana should be together, so she gave up the idea.

She even thoughtfully considered this point and didn't disturb the two of them at that time.

But now, it's not unreasonable for her to have a chat with Kwon Hyun-hyuk, is it?
"Are you there? (peeks in)"

She also used a cute emoji.

"1111111"

A few seconds later, Kwon Hyun-hyuk typed a reply to acknowledge his presence.

He had just arrived home and was resting on the sofa.

"Are you back from skiing?"

Since Sana Minatozaki had told him about it, Kwon Hyun-hyuk wasn't surprised when he saw the message.

"I just got home not long ago, and I've just settled down to rest."

"Hmm... Did you have fun yesterday?"

"It's really fun because the snow is falling heavily, so it's really enjoyable to ski on. (Excited) (Laughs)"

"Really? I should have gone with them. (Sigh) (Conflicted) (Feeling wronged)"

"There will be time. It's a real shame you didn't go this time."

If Chou Tzu-yu had been there, he definitely wouldn't have had any romantic encounters with Minatozaki Sana last night. But then again, if Chou Tzu-yu had been there, given the atmosphere last night, would he have ignored Minatozaki Sana and had something happen between him and Chou Tzu-yu?

If the atmosphere was the same as yesterday, it would be reasonable and expected for old feelings to rekindle.

"Did you take a picture of Sana unnie?"

Chou Tzu-yu asked again.

"Yeah, girls always want to take pictures when they go out, so I've taken quite a few photos of her."

"I see (thinking)"

She knew Kwon Heonhyuk best, so of course she knew he was a good photographer. She had saved many of his best photos on her phone, and when they were still dating, she would occasionally pick out one or two and upload them to Instagram, which garnered a lot of praise.

"What are you going to do next (curious)?"

"I'll be busy again soon, going to Europe for a magazine shoot, and then coming back to film..."

"Well, it seems you've been very busy..."

In Chou Tzu-yu's memory, this was the only time he had a leisurely time, when he went skiing. Before they broke up, they would go on dates during his breaks from filming.

He's always busy, or on his way to being busy.

"Youth is the time to make a big splash!"

“kkkkk”

The two stopped talking for the time being, because Chou Tzu-yu heard the commotion caused by Minatozaki Sana coming up to find her again.

"Ziyu~"

Tzuyu put down her phone, stood up slightly, and opened the door. She saw Sana Minatozaki sitting on the sofa with her phone in hand, leaning against Dahyun, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

Kim Da-hyun turned her head helplessly to look at Chou Tzu-yu, who was walking out of the room again.

"These photos were taken at the ski resort. What do you think? I'll upload a few to Instagram later, okay?"

Sana Minatozaki lay half-reclined in Dahyun Kim's arms, nuzzling against her chest before pressing against her soft skin and scrolling through her phone screen.

"Is this okay? What if we get caught?"

"Right."

Sana Minatozaki nodded, her chin poking Dahyun, who felt a little awkward and shrank back.

"Let me see the photos."

Chou Tzu-yu sat next to her, tucked her hair behind her ear, and gently patted Minatozaki Sana's pert buttocks.

Look!

Sana Minato chuckled and then held the phone screen in front of her.

Chou Tzu-yu didn't hide her curiosity. She leaned forward slightly, even frowning and squinting to take a closer look.

"Were all these photos taken by Xuanhe?"

She sized her up for a while, then looked away, gazing at Sana Minatozaki, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Um, no, some of them I took myself, and some were taken by passersby. Not all of them were taken by him."

Sana Minatozaki shook her head, choosing to deny it.

In reality, all of these photos were taken by Kwon Heonhyuk. She couldn't admit to them all, because she had to keep some things to herself in front of Chou Tzu-yu.

"That's it..."

Chou Tzu-yu understood perfectly, but showed no outward reaction, nodding slightly as if she was appreciating what was happening.

Seeing Sana Minatozaki laughing happily in the snowy scenery, a smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and she couldn't help but feel some emotions she shouldn't have.

But she is understanding and handles things very well on her own.

But even the best digestion can have its share of indigestion. "It looks like it was all filmed by Hyunhyuk; I've had that feeling before too."

Chou Tzu-yu met Minatozaki Sana's gaze. Although she was smiling slightly, her words were neither warm nor cold, but clearly implied something.

Kim Da-hyun, who was watching from the sidelines, was startled. She was secretly alarmed when she saw Chou Tzu-yu say such a thing. Then, the next second, she turned her gaze to Minatozaki Sana in her arms.

"Really? These pictures I'm looking at should all have been taken by him. Tzuyu is very familiar with them, so she has a special feeling about them."

Sana Minatozaki remained completely unfazed by what Tzuyu said, reacting calmly and even jokingly teasing Tzuyu with a smile.

But beneath the surface, Sana Minatozaki was secretly alarmed by Tzuyu's reaction.

Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu nodded slightly but said nothing more.

Sana Minato realized that her act of sharing was indeed reckless, and stopped jumping on the edge. She also noticed that Tzuyu's feelings were not calm beneath the surface.

em ...

It doesn't look simple at all.

...

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put down his phone and suddenly found himself with some free time again.

"Oppa, are you free now? Come on, reply to my message."

Just as I was thinking of it, a message popped up in the pop-up window, unsurprisingly from Liu Zhimin.

"Yes, I just got home not long ago."

"OK, send me your home address, I'm coming right now!"

Just by reading the text, you can feel Liu Zhimin's hurried and anxious state of mind.

"what?"

"I have a precious half-day off now, oppa, please reply to me quickly, or I'm going to go back to my dorm and take a long nap!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk then sent the address, adding, "How about I come pick you up?"

"No need! It's too much trouble for you to pick me up and then drive to find me. I'll just take a taxi, it'll be faster."

They were really in a flurry of activity.

"Oppa, wait for me at home, okay?"

He speaks like the master of the house.

"We look forward to Zhimin's arrival."

"Great! (Laughs) (Nods) (Cute)"

Quan Xuanhe put down his phone, checked the time, and then stood up.

Since Liu Zhimin is coming, he should get up and prepare lunch.
In the dead of winter, when the weather is cold, it's good to eat something warm. Kwon Hyun-hyuk opened the refrigerator and took out a bag of frozen dumplings.

Then I found some seaweed and prepared to make a seaweed soup.

Then he looked at the refrigerator, which didn't have much fresh food, scratched his head, and finally found a few steaks in the freezer.

Do whatever you have, or order takeout if necessary.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk cooked again, a rare occurrence for him. Mishu diligently circled around his feet, occasionally getting up to check the table.

It felt that Kwon Heonhyuk's scent today was very familiar, making it irresistible to rub against him a few more times.

Not long after he finished working, about twenty minutes later, Quan Xuanhe heard the doorbell ringing at the door.

"Oppa, open the door and let me upstairs, I'm freezing!"

The community still has security. Liu Zhimin stood downstairs, her face close to the monitor, her big eyes blinking.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk wiped his hands, pressed a few buttons on the monitor, and then the screen went black. Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and Liu Zhimin's figure immediately slipped in through the crack, bundled up thickly, bringing with her a chill.

"It's freezing cold, it's so cold outside."

Liu Zhimin muttered to herself, but it seemed to be her first time visiting Quan Xuanhe's new home. The last time she visited his home was before the infamous stalker harassment incident.

Now his house... is so big and so luxurious.

Liu Zhimin looked around, seemingly wanting to familiarize herself with the place as quickly as possible, making sure not to miss any spot.

"Take off your clothes, it's very warm in my house, you'll start sweating soon."

He looked at Yoo Jimin's classic Korean style of dress: a long hooded down jacket that reached almost to her ankles, a hood on her head, a white fur scarf at the collar, and a white face mask that covered her completely, revealing only her bright, large eyes.

Yoo Jimin took off her hat, her movements looking a bit clumsy under her heavy clothes, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk offered to help.

She raised her chin, fumbled for the zipper and pulled it all the way down, revealing her inner layer.

Simple washed denim jeans and a fluffy top create a simple, youthful, and sophisticated look.

At her age, she is indeed at an advanced age for a woman.

Liu Zhimin watched as Quan Xuanhe took her down jacket, draped it over his shoulder, nodded, and smiled with satisfaction, clearly pleased with his gesture.

Suddenly, the aroma of food wafted to her nose. Liu Zhimin sniffed, looked around, and then saw the dining table, a table steaming with heat.

"I don't know if you've had lunch yet. I'm making lunch, so you can just have something simple."

"What are they?"

"Fried steak, boiled dumplings, and seaweed and egg drop soup."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put his clothes away and looked at Yoo Jimin, who had unknowingly walked to the dining table.

She still seemed to have on elaborate makeup, as if she had just finished a schedule.

“It feels good.”

Liu Zhimin did not eat lunch. After finishing her schedule, she hurriedly used the excuse of going home to escape from the team and quietly slipped away by herself.

"Eat up, you must be very hungry."

"I'm so hungry. I just got back from a busy schedule. Oppa, do you know how long it's been since I've had a break?"

"From midnight until now, I haven't closed my eyes for a single moment. I'm really suffocating; I'm so sleepy, tired, and hungry..."

Liu Zhimin plopped down at the dining table, looked up at Quan Xuanhe with a pitiful expression, her soft lips slightly upturned. Her delicate and aggressive makeup now presented a completely opposite image of weakness and patheticness to him.

"Why don't you rest here for a while after you finish eating, and take a nap?"

Seeing how tired she sounded, Quan Xuanhe asked her with concern.

"An Dui!"

"I finally have some precious time, oppa is taking me out to play, I can't waste it."

Liu Zhimin shook her head, expressing strong dissent.

If she just wants to sleep, can't she go back to her dorm? She came to see Kwon Heon-hyuk to do something more meaningful!

"Going out to play?"

"It's so cold outside, and you're so tired. Can't you go out and have some fun?"

Quan Xuanhe looked at the snow-covered landscape outside. The snow was so deep that it reached above his calves, making it difficult to even take a walk in this weather.

"Sure, of course you can, as long as oppa is with me."

Liu Zhimin immediately retorted, her eyes fixed on Quan Xuanhe, afraid that he would say no, otherwise she would make a scene in front of him.

This won't do; he has to stay with me.

She's going to do something big.
