Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 570 Discovered?

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Amidst the lively atmosphere at the dinner table, Chou Tzu-yu stood up slightly, glanced at the members, then lowered her head and prepared to leave the table.

Amidst the chatter, Sana Minatozaki didn't hear what Tzuyu, who had stood up, said. She looked up at her in confusion and asked, "Where is Tzuyu going?"

Chou Tzu-yu paused, looked down at Minatozaki Sana, met her gaze, and repeated, "I'm going to the restroom."

Sana Minatozaki relaxed her guard a little, then waved to her with a cheerful smile, "Ah, go ahead!"

Chou Tzu-yu had a faint smile on her face, and she was holding two tissues in her hand. This made Minatozaki Sana not suspicious at all, and she let her go out of her sight without worry.

She disappeared from sight. Looking at the two empty spaces beside her, Minatozaki Sana raised her chin, stretched her neck, and turned her head to look at the store entrance, seemingly searching for Quan Xuanhe's figure. However, finding that Quan Xuanhe was not at the entrance, she slowly turned her head back.

Surely Tzuyu can't possibly do something unexpected right under her nose, can she?
That's actually true.

Outside the barbecue restaurant, the light from the signboard illuminated the two people's profiles. Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked at Chou Tzu-yu standing at the door with a slight surprise in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put his phone back in his pocket and looked at Chou Tzu-yu, who was standing there looking pretty.

Chou Tzu-yu pursed her lips, her expression somewhat unreadable under the changing lights of the shop sign. At this moment, she explained, "I just went to the restroom and saw that you hadn't come back, so I came to check on you."

Was she calling you?

She paused briefly, then asked again.

The entanglement between an ex-girlfriend and a current girlfriend is indeed something that happens without any reason.

"I was just asking, I didn't have any other thoughts."

Have you two made up now?

No matter what, Sana Minatozaki would never tell her these things, and her memory of that day remained forever.

What is the current situation between the two of them since that incident? This information is very important to her.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk slowly shifted his gaze away, avoiding eye contact with Chou Tzu-yu. His eyes fell on the constantly changing lights and shadows of the barbecue restaurant's neon sign, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of his phone in his pocket.

What do you want to achieve by asking this question?

“Ani, after all, I ruined your relationship back then.”

"It has caused a bad impact, and I feel that this matter has a lot to do with me."

"so…"

Chou Tzu-yu parted her soft lips slightly, speaking in a gentle and calm manner.

But Quan Xuanhe's expression was a little off at this moment; he seemed hesitant to speak, which was rather strange.

Why did he detect such a strong hint of manipulative tactics in her words?

Is it true or false?

The little white flower turns into a little green tea?

Quan Xuanhe's mind wandered, but of course, the idea just popped into his head out of nowhere; he didn't really know what Zhou Ziyu was thinking.

"It's alright, I can handle this myself. It's not a good thing for you to be concerned about this issue given your current position."

"I know, but why were you still nice to me when you were dating Miyeon?"

This statement sounded aggressive and confrontational, but Chou Tzu-yu, standing in front of him, didn't seem to mean it that way. Her tone was normal, even cautious as she asked the question.

She has never been an assertive person, and her words rarely reflect an assertive intention.

The so-called "being good to Chou Tzu-yu" naturally means helping her obtain resources and making her career shine brighter.

The endorsement deal was officially announced earlier and sparked considerable discussion. At this time, being an LV ambassador was quite a dazzling position, with few others in the industry holding that title. The meteoric rise in her commercial resources naturally led other brands to approach Tzuyu.

This is also a brand effect. Chou Tzu-yu's image value increased after she became the ambassador for LV, her fans spent a lot of money to support her, and the external response was also good, forming a positive cycle.

This also puts Chou Tzu-yu in a very advantageous position during the contract renewal process.

Even Chou Tzu-yu's mother's impression of Kwon Hyun-hyuk changed a lot because of this.

Material things are an important foundation for love and romance, and Quan Xuanhe provided every girl around him with ample material resources.

Faced with Chou Tzu-yu's confusion, Kwon Hyun-hyuk shook his head slightly, "Because the breakup was too hasty at the time, and it was due to issues involving interests, I don't want to feel indebted to you in this regard in the end."

"that is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu didn't actually want to hear such an answer; she wanted to hear more about Kwon Hyun-hyuk's affection for her.

that is it?

What do you want to hear me say?

He keenly sensed that they were now on the sensitive edge of the conversation.

"Ziyu, what's your thought process behind asking this question?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk crossed his arms and stared at Chou Tzu-yu.

"Do you feel indebted to me, or do you think... we can still...?"

Having lived this long, Chou Tzu-yu has only had one serious boyfriend, Kwon Hyun-hyuk. After all she's been through, she definitely doesn't want to give up now.

Of course, knowing that Zhao Meiyan was still his girlfriend, he naturally couldn't do anything immoral.

Ideally, it should be a two-way street. If he's just trying to make amends and has no feelings for her anymore, she'll let her heart gradually cool down and say goodbye to him completely.

But all of this confused her. The compensation didn't seem like a simple compensation, and the rekindling of old feelings didn't seem like a rekindling of old feelings either. When this trend started, she also knew that he actually had a girlfriend.

It was Zhao Meiyan who indirectly caused their breakup.

This made it hard for her not to suspect that the breakup was orchestrated by her, and that her subsequent rise to power was a carefully planned scheme.

The flame in her heart gradually grew stronger, and the darkness was dispelled from Zhao Meiyan.

"Let's not talk about these things while we're eating today."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk interrupted Chou Tzu-yu, shaking his head to stop her from continuing.

How could he possibly say such a thing in this situation?

Chou Tzu-yu paused, her eyes showing some disappointment as she lowered her head slightly, their gazes meeting. "Okay."

"Let's go, go back first."

Kwon Heonhyuk took the first step, and Zhou Ziyu behind him paused for a few seconds before following him. The two walked back to the barbecue restaurant one after the other.

Seeing the two of them walk back together, Sana Minatozaki raised her head sharply, her eyes filled with surprise and alarm.

Okay, so you went to the bathroom to find an excuse to see Kwon Hyun-hyuk?
Sana Minatosaki suddenly realized that she had been tricked by Tzuyu. She had thought Tzuyu was fine!

She looked left and right with wide eyes. Not only her, but the other members also felt something was amiss when they saw the two walking back together. They exchanged glances and pretended nothing was wrong.

Sana Minatozaki didn't hold back and gave Kwon Seonhyuk several more elbow strikes, causing Kwon Seonhyuk, who had just picked up his chopsticks to eat, to tremble and drop the meat onto his plate.

He turned his head away with a hint of helplessness.

What do you want to do?
Sana Minato didn't speak, but her eyes were wary, and her gaze clearly conveyed a meaning.

What did you two go out to do?

Say!
Quan Xuanhe shook his head slightly and continued eating.

The meal was almost over, and everyone tidied up. The manager walked to the front of the table, raised his phone, and took a group photo, capturing everyone's rosy faces.

The crowd got up and began to disperse noisily, the members chattering as they walked towards the store entrance.

The barbecue restaurant was not far from the venue, so of course there were fans who came here to eat. When they saw Twice, they were naturally excited and watched them leave.

I never expected to receive such a benefit.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who appeared in the group, was naturally recognized, but he didn't attract much attention. Stepping out of the barbecue restaurant, the cold outdoor air was invigorating, instantly clearing his head.

"You guys go back, I'm leaving now!"

Quan Xuanhe waved to them, and after receiving a chorus of farewells, he got into his car and left.

Watching him leave, Zhou Ziyu looked away, feeling somewhat discouraged, but then she thought about it and realized it wasn't a big deal.

It was just a simple conversation, and she wasn't that vulnerable.

As soon as she got in the car, Sana Minato couldn't wait to take out her phone, ready to ask Kwon Hyun-hyuk what had just happened.

Tzuyu's actions made Sana Minatozaki very alert.

"What did Tzuyu want from you just now?"

"Tzuyu wants to ask me about Miyeon and me."

"what?"

Sana Minato didn't expect that Tzuyu was still so persistent, and she actually secretly ran out to continue asking Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

They're getting bolder and bolder.

"I'd like to ask how things are going between Meiyan and me."

"Then what did you say?"

“I didn’t say that.”

"Tzuyu seems to be..."

Sana Minatozaki pondered to herself.

Upon meeting her at the concert, it was immediately clear that Chou Tzu-yu was becoming increasingly proactive, and there were signs that something was amiss.

If Tzuyu were to launch another attack on Kwon Seonhyuk...

That situation is really going to get out of control.

Zhao Meiyan's position is precarious, and Minatozaki Sana will be caught in the middle, unable to please either side.

It was a bloodbath!

Sana Minatozaki swallowed hard, suddenly feeling that the future was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, like a bomb that could explode at any moment, and she didn't know when she would be blown up and die without a burial place.

"This is all up to you now. As my sweet little helper, you must keep me warm..."

Sana Minato's lips twitched. The sense of urgency that had just surged into her heart vanished instantly, leaving only resentment towards Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

"Go to hell..."

She's already been tied to the boat by Quan Xuanhe, and there's no way for her to get off.

Sana Minato put away her phone and turned to look at Nayeon and Momo beside her.

The two of them were playing on their phones at that moment.

"How about we do a live stream, just for a few minutes?"

"Now?"

"sure!"

The group acted immediately, starting a live stream using their official accounts from inside the van.

Their faces lit up with radiant smiles as they faced the camera, chatting casually.

the other side.

Yeh Shuhua and Minnie returned to their dorm earlier and skipped the dinner party. When they got back, Zhao Meiyan was already there and immediately looked at them with curiosity.

"How about it?"

"Unnie, really..."

Ye Shuhua remembered how speechless she was when Quan Xuanhe retorted with a single sentence backstage. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she wanted to pour out her grievances whenever she saw Zhao Meiyan.

“When I talked to him, he turned around and talked back to me. I was clearly giving you advice, telling him to come to you to solve the problem as soon as possible, but he still argued with me!”

"Is there any point in continuing this relationship?!"

The resentful words reached Zhao Meiyan's ears. She chuckled awkwardly and then turned her gaze to Minnie.

what happened?

"Actually, it's nothing, we just chatted about your things for a bit, maybe the atmosphere wasn't too good? So that's how it is..."

Minnie didn't expect Yeh Shuhua to have to complain so much. She wanted to avoid her, but since Yeh Shuhua had already said it, she had no choice but to explain herself.

"What do you mean the atmosphere isn't good? He just doesn't understand human language."

Ye Shuhua said dismissively, her face showing anger.

Zhao Meiyan smiled reassuringly at her, but didn't say anything to comfort her.

Yeh Shu-hua speaks impulsively and without thinking, otherwise she wouldn't have indirectly caused Kwon Hyun-hyuk and Chou Tzu-yu to break up.

Zhao Meiyan's eyes flickered, and although she maintained her smile, she seemed somewhat absent-minded.

She was wondering whether she should end this cooling-off period.

After so much time has passed, she feels it's time to bravely take the next step.

Feelings can't be left unresolved indefinitely. Whether it's right or wrong, whether to continue or end, there needs to be a resolution.

Zhao Meiyan herself gradually realized that continuing to delay was not the right decision.

But could he be a little more proactive?
This was what she was thinking; she hoped that Kwon Hyuk would take the initiative towards her.

Zhao Meiyan was lost in thought, while Zhou Ziyu on the other side had similar ideas.

Chou Tzu-yu was getting restless.

"Ernie."

After returning to the dormitory, Chou Tzu-yu took the initiative to approach Minatozaki Sana.

"what's wrong?"

Sana Minatozaki was looking for Tzuyu, but unexpectedly, Tzuyu approached her first.

"Does unnie really not know what's going on with Hyunhyuk oppa right now?"

Unexpectedly, she went straight to the point, leaving Minatozaki Sana clearly a little confused.

"I'm not really sure."

Sana Minatozaki said tactfully.

"So, did Unnie go skiing alone with Hyunhyuk? Was it just for skiing?"

Chou Tzu-yu looked at Minatozaki Sana with bright eyes, but her words made Minatozaki Sana's heart clench suddenly, and she felt her heart tremble for a moment, which immediately threw her into a state of confusion.

Her eyes momentarily filled with confusion and evasion. Sana Minato forced a smile, pretending nothing was wrong, and gave a dry laugh.

"What did Ziyu say?"

"What do you think, Unnie? Is it just about skiing, and then leaving?"

Chou Tzu-yu frowned slightly, her tone full of confusion, and looked at Minatozaki Sana, who was talking about something else, and emphasized it again.

dong dong dong.

Sana Minatozaki seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat; she was so breathless that her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Has she really given herself away?
