Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 707 Flawless? Hard to slip up!
The car slowly came to a stop outside the film set of "Breaking the Tomb".

Chou Tzu-yu took a deep breath, put on a mask and baseball cap to keep a low profile, and then got out of the car carrying the warm insulated bag.

As she approached the entrance to the film set, Kwon Seonhyuk's assistant recognized her immediately and jogged over to greet her with a smile.

"Ziyu-xi, Annyeonghaseyo, Hyunhyuk is filming right now. Shall I take him to the rest area to wait for a while?"

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Chou Tzu-yu bowed slightly, her voice soft, and quietly followed her assistant across the busy film set.

Her gaze swept quickly over the set and staff, finally landing on Quan Xuanhe under the lights in the distance.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk is surrounded by people and acting opposite Kim Go-eun, looking very focused.

The assistant led her to a relatively quiet corner rest area, where the assistant brought over a folding chair.

"Ziyu, please sit here. Xuanhe's scene should be almost over. Would you like something to drink?"

"No need, Kangsanghamida."

Chou Tzu-yu shook her head, placed the insulated bag on the table next to her, and kept her eyes following the figure in the center of the set.

Sure enough, not long after, the director yelled, "Cut! OK!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk relaxed, took a sip of water from the staff member, and smiled when he saw Tzuyu in the corner.

He whispered something to the director and Kim Go-eun, then strode over.

"You've come all this way, thank you for your hard work."

Quan Xuanhe stopped in front of her, smiled and said, his gaze noticing the insulated bag she was holding.

How can you make the same mistake twice after falling down once?

"Zhou Ziyu stood up, smiled gently, and handed the insulated bag forward, her voice still soft."

"I've been resting for the past few days, and I was worried about how hard you've been filming, so I made some food and brought it over."

She paused, then added, "It's one of those Chinese snacks. Try it and see how it tastes. I think you'll like it."

Quan Xuanhe's eyes lit up as he took the insulated bag. It was quite heavy and warm.

"Wow, amazing..." he exclaimed sincerely, his words brimming with emotional value.

"This is great, I was just a little hungry. Tzuyu is so thoughtful."

As he spoke, he opened the bag and glanced inside; a sweet aroma immediately wafted out.

He sat down on the empty chair next to him and gestured for Chou Tzu-yu to sit down as well.

The assistant very tactfully handed over a wet wipe and a bottle of water.

Quan Xuanhe carefully wiped his hands, then picked up a piece of still slightly warm, exquisitely shaped pastry and took a big bite.

"Um……"

He chewed slowly, a satisfied expression on his face.

"This is the taste I like perfectly. It's not greasy at all. Did you add anything else to the red bean paste? It makes the texture even richer."

Kwon Heonhyuk then gave it the highest rating.

"It doesn't taste sweet at all."

Watching him genuinely and unpretentiously enjoy the food, and listening to his precise comments on the little improvements she had secretly made, Chou Tzu-yu felt a surge of emotion.

I reduced the amount of sugar and added a little diced dried tangerine peel to the red bean paste to enhance the flavor.

A sense of satisfaction welled up inside her, and Chou Tzu-yu's lips unconsciously curled up as she spoke softly.

"Yes, you've been working hard filming lately. I'm glad you like it. I can do it again."

"It's more than just liking it." Kwon Hyun-hyuk picked up another piece and this time held it to Tzuyu's lips.

"Would you like to try some? You've been busy all day."

His movements were natural, and his eyes held an invitation.

Looking at his open and honest demeanor, Chou Tzu-yu took a small bite of the dessert she had made without any hesitation, following his hand.

"good to eat."

She said it softly, and then laughed at herself.

Quan Xuanhe looked at her smiling and felt happy too.

The two sat in the corner of the set's rest area, sharing snacks from an insulated bag, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones about their filming experiences or daily life.

Now, let's move the timeline forward a little.

What about Sana Minatozaki?

On the film set in the afternoon, Sana Minatozaki curled up on a folding chair, her eyelids feeling heavy.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk had just finished filming a scene and was discussing the details with the director and several staff members.

Sana Minato watched this scene from afar, sipping her slightly cool coffee, her gaze lazily following his figure.

After a while, Quan Xuanhe finally broke free from the crowd and strode towards her.

"Isn't it boring waiting?"

He sat down next to Sana Minatozaki and naturally reached out to rub her cheek with his fingertips.

You look very tired.

"Who told you to have it in the morning?"

Sana Minato slapped his hand away, gave him a coquettish glare, but couldn't help but smile, exuding a charming and alluring femininity.

"Anyway, we're all here to see you. Whether it's tiring or boring, we can accept it."

She shoved the unfinished coffee into his hand.

"Here, drink!"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk didn't mind, took it, tilted his head back and took a big sip, let out a long sigh, and then, as if remembering something, leaned close to Minatozaki Sana's ear and whispered something.

"Someone is coming in a little while."

Sana Minatozaki was enjoying this moment of intimacy when she heard this and her body stiffened almost imperceptibly. She looked up at him with a questioning gaze.

I had a bad feeling.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked at Minatozaki Sana without flinching and added with a smile, "Tzuyu."

When Sana Minatozaki heard that Tzuyu was coming, her eyes flickered quickly, revealing a moment of surprise.

Why did Chou Tzu-yu choose to come at this particular time?

How did we bump into each other again?

qinjia…

She immediately realized what was going on.

A feeling of helplessness and discouragement quickly welled up in my heart.

She also knew that her identity at this moment could not and should not be revealed in front of Ziyu.

Why did she secretly visit the set behind Tzuyu's back?

What frustrated her even more was that she had only been here for a total of half a day.

Half a day wasn't enough time to stay.

The torture wasn't finished, and the little ideas that needed to be implemented hadn't even had a chance to be put into practice...

These complex emotions churned within her, leaving Sana Minatozaki speechless for a moment.

"Is Tzuyu coming?"

Quan Xuanhe kept watching her, waiting to see her reaction.

Sana Minatozaki hummed a short, sharp syllable through her nose, the last syllable rising slightly, with a hint of knowing the answer already.

So you're kicking me out?

Her gaze didn't immediately fall on Quan Xuanhe, but instead casually landed on the coffee cup she had just handed over.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk glanced at her, finding her jealous reaction amusing, but Minatozaki Sana took her brief silence as a tacit agreement.

She turned her head sharply, her beautiful eyes now filled with a hint of anger as she glared directly at Quan Xuanhe. Her voice was low, but clearly conveyed her displeasure.

"Oh! You're really something..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Making Tzuyu avoid the situation without any preparation just for her sake is an infuriating act of favoritism.

It's all Kwon Hyun-hyuk's fault!

That scumbag!
It's all your fault for making me so embarrassed!

She unleashed all the frustration she felt because of Chou Tzu-yu's impending arrival onto Kwon Hyun-hyuk at that moment.

Sana Minatozaki didn't want to stay a second longer.

She stood up briskly, her movements deliberately decisive, as if staying even a second longer would bring trouble.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even said anything yet."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk held Minatozaki Sana's hand and said with a smile.

"Tch, what else can you say?"

Sana Minato looked down at Kwon Hyun-hyuk with disdain, but she was listening to what he had to say.

“Tzuyu will be here for a while, you can stay a little longer.” He could accept that Minatozaki Sana should stay, but judging from her reaction, she clearly couldn’t accept it right now.

Quan Xuanhe pondered the current situation, realizing that letting Ziyu know might not necessarily be a bad thing.

"Stop arguing and get on with your work."

Sana Minato interrupted him, her voice not loud, but full of rudeness.

Without a word, she took a step and walked away. Her high heels clicked rapidly on the cement floor. Her steps were much faster than when she came, carrying a resolute air of wanting to avoid seeing the problem altogether.

"Wait, then I'll have my assistant take you there. Don't rush."

Quan Xuanhe's voice came from behind him.

Sana Minatozaki got into the car, and the door slammed shut, shutting out the noise from the film set.

Outside the window, Quan Xuanhe's figure blurred into a small dot in the distance. She turned her face away, a slight frustration rising in her chest.

This kind of thing might not seem like a big deal when it happens to other people, and we should think about it rationally, but when it happens to you, it's a different story.

It's truly impossible to think completely objectively and rationally anymore.

Sana Minatosaki felt like a thief who couldn't be seen in the light of day, and could only slink away in shame.

The driver carefully started the car and drove away from the film set. Minatozaki Sana stared at her phone screen and opened Kakao.

She took a deep breath, clicked on Chou Tzu-yu's profile picture, and sent her a message, her tone seemingly casual.

"Tzuyu, what are you busy with today?"

After sending the message, Sana Minatozaki bit her lower lip slightly, staring at the screen, waiting for a reply.

Sending messages this way is normal and doesn't seem out of place at all.

A moment later, my phone lit up with a ding.

Chou Tzu-yu replied quickly, along with a smiley face emoji.

"I'm on my way to visit the set~"

"Visiting class?"

Sana Minatozaki asked a question she already knew the answer to.

"Vest, let's go see Hyunhyuk oppa."

Ugh.

Sana Minato gave a wry smile and replied, "Oh well, okay!" before turning off the screen and turning her face to the window.

What good will it do once it's confirmed?

We really need to hide.

If only Kwon Hyun-hyuk had pursued her first.

Why couldn't he fall in love with me at first sight?
...

Time goes back.

Kwon Heonhyuk and Chou Tzuyu sat there chatting.

Kim Go-eun had just finished confirming the details of the next shot with the director when she habitually glanced at the direction where Kwon Heon-hyuk was resting.

I mainly wanted to see if the cute girl, Sana Minatozaki, who had brought so much energy and interacted intimately with Kwon Hyun-hyuk, was still there.

Kim Go-eun stopped in her tracks as soon as her gaze fell on that area.

The location hasn't changed; it's still that same corner.

There was indeed a young girl sitting next to Kwon Seonhyuk, also dressed in comfortable casual clothes, with her long hair tied up. At first glance, her back view...

Kim Go-eun subconsciously rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.

But when she looked closely and saw the girl's profile, Kim Go-eun was stunned.

Not Sana Minatozaki?

Although they are both beautiful girls, their facial features and overall demeanor are completely different.

Sana Minatozaki is bright and lively, like a leaping little sun, while the one in front of me has a calm and gentle look in her eyes, like the quiet flow of moonlight.

She was slightly bowing her head, taking small bites of something, her posture gentle and graceful.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk... It was clearly just a short while ago that it was Minatozaki Sana, and in the blink of an eye it's been changed to someone else?
And their relationship also seems to be quite unusual?
Just as Kim Go-eun stood there, thinking things like "What's going on?" and "Kwon So-hyuk, you're something else!", Kwon So-hyuk had already noticed her gaze.

He looked up and caught Kim Go-eun's slightly confused and surprised gaze.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk showed no sign of panic or embarrassment. Instead, he gave a natural smile and patted the girl next to him on the shoulder, gesturing for her to look at Kim Go-eun.

He stood up and walked over with Chou Tzu-yu.

“Go Eun-no-na,” Kwon Hyun-hyuk introduced naturally, stepping aside. “This is Tzu-yu.”

Then he turned to Chou Tzu-yu, speaking in a gentle tone.

"This is Kim Go-eun, who is my mentor and partner in the drama."

Chou Tzu-yu immediately bowed slightly, her voice soft and sweet: "Annyeonghaseyo, Kim Go-eun sunbaenim."

His face displayed just the right amount of politeness and a hint of shyness.

Kim Go-eun realized what was happening and gave him the same friendly smile.

“Annyeonghaseyo, Tzuyu-xi.”

His gaze couldn't help but linger between Kwon Hyun-hyuk and Chou Tzu-yu once more.

Kim Go-eun keenly noticed the way Chou Tzu-yu looked at Kwon Hyun-hyuk; it was affectionate and dependent, a different style from the energetic intimacy of Minatozaki Sana, but essentially the same.

"Ah, welcome to the set."

"You guys chat, I'll go check if the set is ready over there."

She almost immediately made an excuse, turned around and left, her pace a few seconds faster than yesterday.

The moment she turned around, Kim Go-eun's smile vanished, and she couldn't help but inwardly grumble.

Xuanhe, that guy, is indeed a womanizer.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk is shameless; even a scumbag has to have this kind of mentality.

Chou Tzu-yu stayed with Kwon Hyun-hyuk on the set of "The Lost Tomb" until it got dark.

Just as filming wrapped up, Tzuyu thought that was the end of it, but her assistant reminded Kwon Heonhyuk that he needed to rush to the "DP" set to film a night scene.

So busy, and you still have to film?

"Tzuyu, DP is filming tonight, probably very late. You should go back to the hotel and rest. Don't come with me. The conditions there aren't good, and it's too tiring to just wait around."

He casually brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.

"Go back to the hotel and wait for me. I'll go back as soon as I'm done here, okay?"

Chou Tzu-yu knew his work was more important, so she nodded obediently.

She was indeed a little tired and didn't want to be a burden to him.

"Okay, oppa, don't overwork yourself." Her voice was gentle and full of concern.

Be careful while filming.

"know."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk smiled, squeezed her hand, and was then urged by his assistant to get into a car heading to another film set.

Chou Tzu-yu also got into the nanny van back to the hotel.

Chou Tzu-yu returned to the hotel suite where the film crew was staying, swiped her key card to unlock the door, and found it quiet inside.

The living room was still littered with the script and some documents that Quan Xuanhe had casually left behind when he left in the morning. His scent seemed to linger in the air, mixed with something else.

She sniffed; it was very faint, indistinguishable.

Aside from that, the trash was cleaned up very well; the hotel staff cleaned it up regularly every day, so you couldn't see anything wrong with it.

She didn't think much of it, assuming it was just the hotel fragrance or that he had changed his toiletries.

After a long day, she was exhausted and just wanted to take a hot shower to relax.

Stepping into the bedroom, the bedding on the large bed was neatly folded.

Chou Tzu-yu immediately lay down on the bed and relaxed.

Looking at the ceiling, she actually felt a little happy, after all, what followed was her and Quan Xuanhe's time alone.

but…

Chou Tzu-yu's gaze inadvertently swept over the folds of the pillow before looking away.

But the next second, it seemed that the information had been received and processed, and after a moment of surprise, the gaze returned to its original position.

It was a long hair.

It's long, dark brown, with a natural curl, lying quietly on the edge of the pure white pillowcase, still visible under the soft light of the bedside lamp.

Chou Tzu-yu paused abruptly, then slowly propped herself up, picking up a single strand of hair with her fingers and holding it in mid-air.

Her own hair is pure black, smooth, long and straight; this strand of hair will not belong to her.

Could it belong to the cleaning staff?

However, in this situation, the discovery of hair inevitably leads to speculation.

The length, color, and texture are more like carefully styled women's hair.

who is it?
