Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 571 Suffocation
"Ziyu, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."

Chou Tzu-yu's words were like a sharp sword, swift and unexpected, piercing her heart and throwing her into a state of panic. Beneath her feigned composure lay a heart full of anxiety and rage.

Has it really been discovered?

Where did she slip up?

So how did she find out?

What should we do if we get caught?
Tzuyu knows why she hasn't shown it yet. Is this really what's called a masterful disguise?
This is this.

Sana Minatozaki's mind was in turmoil, with one thought after another emerging from her mind, only to vanish in an instant, leaving only one thought in the end.

What will happen if we get caught?
People are prone to wishful thinking, and when questioned by Tzuyu, Sana Minato couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

really…

Ruined.

"Yeah, is skiing all you do with Unnie? Is that all you've done together?"

Chou Tzu-yu stared at Minatozaki Sana with her big eyes, looking puzzled.

"You always understand each other very well. You probably know a lot about him, right?"

"Hmm...huh?"

Sana Minatozaki was racking her brains trying to figure out how to fool Tzuyu, or rather, deny it to the death. But what Tzuyu said surprised her, and she sensed a subtle difference in her opinion.

"Is not it?"

"Didn't you talk more while skiing? Did Unnie and Hyunhyuk become closer?"

Upon hearing this, Sana Minato's eyes darted around slightly, and she looked at Tzuyu in front of her with a blank expression, scrutinizing her with a dazed look.

This is…

She was indeed confused and quite bewildered by Chou Tzu-yu's words.

Tzuyu's statement was not what she thought—that her secret had been exposed—but rather a simple and direct expression.

On the contrary, she herself was like a frightened bird, thinking of all sorts of things in an instant.

This is really...

Being clever but being misled by cleverness?
"Oh... actually..."

Sana Minatozaki barely came to her senses and, facing Tzuyu's gaze, quickly regained her composure. Her sluggish voice revealed her rapidly working brain, as she began to formulate her words.

Zhou Ziyu looked somewhat confused, then her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with suspicion as she quietly and carefully observed her.

This reaction…

Something doesn't seem right.
Chou Tzu-yu seemed to realize belatedly that Minatozaki Sana's reaction shouldn't have been such a hasty and evasive one.

But her train of thought was abruptly interrupted by Sana Minatozaki.

"The key question is, if Tzuyu finds out, what would she do, and in what capacity, and what would be the consequences?"

"Perhaps that's why some things can't be known to others casually."

"Tzuyu has experienced this feeling before, right? Do you understand what I mean?"

"What would Tzuyu do if I told her?"

"They haven't broken up yet..."

Sana Minato's words at this moment were a jumble of thoughts mixed with what she had just thought of during a rapid mental process.

The last sentence is the absolute truth.

Regardless, Zhao Meiyan and Quan Xuanhe haven't broken up yet. If Zhou Tzuyu really does something, wouldn't she become a third party again, even if she's an ex-girlfriend?

“I know all that Unnie is saying, and I know what I’m doing.”

Faced with Sana Minato's long speech, Tzuyu remained unmoved after a few seconds of silent eye contact. Instead, her tone was quite firm, indicating that she had her own ideas.

Once Chou Tzu-yu has made up her mind, she won't easily waver.

Especially after careful consideration, regarding matters related to Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

Faced with Chou Tzu-yu's insistence, Minatozaki Sana was speechless for a moment.

She could have easily and eloquently tried to stop Zhou Ziyu from continuing to press her for answers, but in reality, her feint earlier had thrown her into disarray, leaving her with little to think about.

"I can't tell you, Ziyu. If I do, you know it will put me in a difficult position."

Sana Minatozaki started talking about reason and logic, telling her to be more understanding of herself.

Seeing her troubled expression, Chou Tzu-yu finally softened a little, pursed her lips, and slowly let out a sigh of relief. Her gaze softened.

"Okay, then I won't ask Unnie anymore. I'll figure it out myself."

Chou Tzu-yu's tone softened, but this softened tone could not conceal the determination in her words.

This left Sana Minatozaki stunned.

This move of retreating to advance left Sana Minatozaki helpless, putting her at a considerable disadvantage and leaving her in a dilemma.

"Do we really have to do this?"

At this point, Sana Minatozaki was no longer strategizing and confident that she could control the youngest member.

It was only then that she realized she didn't have many ways to stop Chou Tzu-yu from doing something she was determined to do.

"I need to understand the situation before I can do anything, right?"

Chou Tzu-yu shook her head slightly and said simply.

Seeing this, Sana Minato didn't say anything, but just looked at her, watching the expression on her face.

"Then I'll go back first..."

Chou Tzu-yu was disappointed. She shook her head slightly and turned to leave.

In the end, we didn't get to see what Minatozaki Sana and Chou Tzuyu said to each other, and Chou Tzuyu's desire to know more was also dashed.

This…

Sana Minatozaki was in a dilemma. She watched Tzuyu's departing figure, opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just stopped and sighed softly.

It seems like the relationship between the two of them has become a bit awkward...

Sana Minatozaki lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then stood up and slowly dragged herself back to her room.

She closed the door and collapsed onto the bed, her body sprawling limply on the soft mattress. Her gaze was fixed blankly on the ceiling, as if she were deep in thought.

She was indeed very conflicted.

Since you're so conflicted, why not bombard Kwon Hyun-hyuk!
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

"Ya ya ya ya ya ya!"

"I'm sick!"

"It's all your fault! My relationship with Tzuyu is going to get worse!"

"(Annoyed)(Annoyed)(I'll hammer you)(I'll hammer you)"

Sana Minato's relentless barrage left Kwon Hyun-hyuk somewhat bewildered.

The subtext of getting along with this clever and quick-witted woman is that she is not easy to grasp and control. She is not a woman who will obey your every whim, but rather a woman who is sometimes sweet and sometimes troublesome.

"Wait, what's wrong?"

A video call came in with a snap. Sana Minatozaki answered and saw Kwon Hyuk on the screen, who was staring intently at her.

As soon as Minatozaki Sana answered the phone, she began to pour out her grievances, rambling on and on about what had just happened, making Kwon Hyun-hyuk on the other end of the line rub his head in disbelief.

"You wait first."

Sana Minato stopped abruptly, her bright, watery eyes fixed on Kwon Hyun-hyuk, waiting for him to say something.

Quan Xuanhe looked at the scene on the other side of the screen. Minatozaki Sana's clothes were disheveled, her hair was wrapped around her face, and her fair and delicate face was flushed. The unstable image occasionally revealed a hint of spring.

"Look at you."

what?
Sana Minato was stunned for a moment, feeling confused, angry, and speechless at Quan Xuanhe's nonsensical words. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling like she was laughing in anger.

"Get out!" "Hey, you!"

"What are you talking about? We're clearly discussing serious matters!"

Sana Minatozaki was so angry she felt like grinding her teeth. She was very dissatisfied with him and even wanted to beat him to death through the screen.

"I know all these things, you don't need to be too nervous."

“I know you’re worried about these things, not just for me, but also for Tzuyu and for everyone.”

Quan Xuanhe smiled, speaking with a touch of nonchalance.

This actually comforted Sana Minatozaki a bit, but she was still somewhat resentful. "You almost scared me to death. I thought Tzuyu had found out about you and me."

What's going on between you and me.

"What's between us?"

Quan Xuanhe asked the question knowing the answer, deliberately teasing her.

"Don't say it!"

Sana Minato shouted, interrupting Kwon Hyun-hyuk's shameless remarks.

"Would you like to meet now?"

The sudden suggestion seemed to put Sana Minatozaki's temper on pause. After a brief mental review, she decisively rejected it.

"No, I have a concert tomorrow."

Doing it once is exhausting, and the concert is so demanding. She doesn't have unlimited stamina, she's just incredibly tired.

"Okay, actually I really want to see you."

The sudden sweet words left Minatozaki Sana speechless once again, the blush on her face a mixture of warmth in the room and her own subtle shyness, she couldn't tell.

To be honest, although the two of them had sex, she had never heard any sweet words from Quan Xuanhe.

Of course, the nonsense uttered in bed is another matter entirely and should not be confused with it.

"We just met, and now you're talking about these things."

"Stop saying these confusing things, get down to business, stop talking about this."

Sana Minatosaki speaks with a coquettish tone, giving the impression of flirting and being sweet, which makes people feel all tingly and fuzzy inside.

"It's okay, don't worry too much. If you're scared, just focus on getting out of there and protecting yourself."

"I'll handle the other problems; these are my own issues, and I should thank you for them."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk could tell that Sana Minatozaki was anxious at this moment, so he naturally comforted her and helped her calm down and relax.

"cut."

Sana Minato pouted and looked away, arrogantly ignoring Kwon Hyun-hyuk's words.

"Could you give me a kiss before you hang up?"

bobo?

Sana Minato glanced at Kwon Seonhyuk, who was looking at her with great anticipation on the screen, then pouted and muttered, "What kiss? We're not boyfriend and girlfriend."

"That's right, our relationship is even more exciting—it's a secret affair! Just thinking about it gets me excited..."

"Neon genes, a massive explosion!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's frivolous words made Minatozaki Sana unable to hold back, and she even laughed out loud speechlessly, "Hey~ what nonsense are you talking about!"

After a few jokes, Sana Minatozaki did feel much more relaxed, and the pressure in her heart was not so great.

He's right. It's all his fault as a philanderer, and she'll have to bear the consequences alone in the end.

"I'll hang up now. Go to sleep early, there's a concert tomorrow."

After the initial tension subsided, a wave of drowsiness washed over Sana Minatozaki.

She didn't want to waste the slowly creeping drowsiness and wanted to seize the time to rest, temporarily putting these worries behind her.

But Tzuyu is a big problem...

This question was still on Minatozaki Sana's mind before she closed her eyes.

It was as if Zhao Meiyan and Zhou Tzuyu were on opposite ends of a scale, causing her constant inner turmoil and wavering.

After hanging up the phone, Quan Xuanhe prepared to rest, as he would officially join the production team tomorrow.

He arrived in Europe today and went straight to the Twice concert. We also had dinner together in the evening. He was quite tired after experiencing so much in just one day.

but…

Quan Xuanhe had already closed his eyes when his phone vibrated again, shattering his sleepiness.

He opened his eyes and looked at the incoming call.

It's Liu Zhimin again.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep so late? My eyes are already closed."

Quan Xuanhe answered the phone casually, holding it to his ear and speaking in a lazy tone.

"Oppa went to Twice's concert, why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't I say that?"

"Oppa didn't say anything, I only found out he went to Twice's concert by checking on social media..."

Liu Zhimin was extremely jealous. She knew that Quan Xuanhe's ex-girlfriend was Zhou Ziyu. Whether she went to the concert willingly or unwillingly, it was a dangerous signal full of ambiguity!

How can this work!

"Okay, maybe I forgot to mention it."

Quan Xuanhe said something casually, without the slightest hint of apology in his words.

"Oppa, you can't do this. How can you treat me so casually?"

The other boys were all more proactive towards her than the last, which often made Kwon Seonhyuk feel frustrated by the disparity in their attitudes.

Then they became more courageous despite setbacks.

"I understand, I will next time."

"Next time for sure again."

"That won't do, I'm really going to get angry!"

Liu Zhimin is unwittingly usurping the rights that belong to his girlfriend, and he is ambitious.

"What right do you have to be angry?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk showed no mercy.

"..."

"I order oppa, from now on you have to give me a daily report on your daily life!"

After a brief silence, Liu Zhimin, full of momentum, sounded the charge for another attack.

"I'm too busy, sometimes I don't have time to check my phone."

Quan Xuanhe refused.

"Okay, it's fine. I'll just call oppa once a day. Oppa only needs to answer the phone, but I have a lot more to think about."

But Liu Zhimin made up her mind without any regard for his refusal, and took the opportunity to get to her desired goal.

That's how I'll gradually corrupt Quan Xuanhe's mind and spirit, so that he'll eventually belong to me!
"How did you make that decision for me?"

"Oppa didn't refuse, did he? He said he was too busy, but I can make time for him (cheer up!) (playful)"

At this moment, Liu Zhimin's lips curled up, looking smug, confident, playful, and lively.

Quan Xuanhe remained silent.

In just one day, they arrived one after another, leaving no room to breathe and making it feel suffocating.
