Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 436: Momo Hirai plays the role of wisdom.

"Yes, of course."

Hirai Momo sat up abruptly, her enormous conscience trembling uncontrollably.

That's why people say he's a good kid; anyone can see that.

If she heard correctly, she explicitly said she was inviting me to dinner. This is the kind of event where you create difficulties where none exist, and it's far more tempting than working out together.

"When exactly is the time?" Mingyan asked in more detail to avoid Hirai Momo misunderstanding his meaning on the other end of the phone.

From Hirai Momo's side came the sound of footsteps: "Oppa, wait a minute, let me check."

Twice's schedule is all in the group chat. She doesn't usually pay much attention to it, but she figured she could always be right as long as she followed the members.

"It's okay, take your time reading it."

Don't rush, or you'll make mistakes. Don't wait until you arrive to realize that Hirai Momo has misread the time; that would be a huge blunder.

He arranged to meet Hirai Momo so that the child could monitor Yoo Jeong-yeon; it was crucial not to leak this information beforehand.

"Oppa, I have two hours of free time tomorrow afternoon." A minute or two passed before Hirai Momo confirmed the schedule.

That's how Twice is; he only has fragmented rest time each day.

Mingyan nodded: "Okay, I'll pick you up then."

"Oppa, what should we eat tomorrow?"

"You decide."

"Let's go eat hot pot then!" The girl's voice was full of excitement. "I've been really into that... what's it called lately, beef..."

"Beef?" Mingyan tentatively suggested.

"No, I think it's called beef tripe, and it tastes really good."

Hirai Momo finally remembered; she really knew how to eat.

"Okay, it's a deal."

……

"Momo, why did you eat so little?"

Lim Nayeon looked at her friend with a puzzled expression.

The company's boxed lunches were indeed just so-so, but usually Hirai Momo eats them the most, she has to fill her stomach no matter what, but today she only ate a few bites.

This person's appetite is similar to that of Son Chaeyoung. Eating is like torture for the two youngest members of the group; they can only eat a little more if their older sisters force them to.

No wonder she's so skinny, like a kitten, with no breasts or buttocks, and her development is far behind that of Hirai Momo.

"I'm not very hungry today." Hirai Momo blinked quickly to hide her inner panic.

She's not very good at lying.

The straightforward Chou Tzu-yu also noticed the older sister's situation, and even raised her hand to touch Hirai Momo's forehead: "Momo unnie, are you feeling unwell?"

Eating so little is not right; something is definitely wrong.

"No, I'm perfectly healthy."

Hirai Momo pulled the maknae's hand away.

She had planned it all out. After the trip was over, she was going to have hot pot with Mingyan, so she needed to save room for herself first.

Between the company's boxed lunches and hot pot, even a fool would choose the latter.

Hirai Momo is often called silly by her fellow members and fans, but she thinks she is not only not stupid, but actually quite smart.

"Momo unnie, are you going out to eat later?" Chou Tzuyu is usually quiet, but she can often see through appearances to the essence. If someone who can't miss a meal can refuse food, then there is probably another delicious meal waiting for her.

Hirai Momo immediately denied it three times in a row: "No, no, how could that be?"

The girl kept Mingyan's instructions firmly in mind.

Confidential.

"Alright, we're going back soon anyway." Lim Nayeon stopped Chou Tzuyu from continuing her hurtful behavior: "Momo, if you get hungry, come find me anytime."

"What are you looking for?"

"I have some snacks that Mingyan sent over, enough to satisfy my hunger."

Rabbit Teeth even tilted her head slightly when talking about this, as if showing off her "boyfriend" to the other members. See how considerate he is?

Yu Dingyan secretly cursed someone a few more times in her heart. She felt guilty whenever she thought about the text messages that guy sent her. She would take them out and read them several times every night before going to bed, while simulating the content of her counterattack in her mind. Unfortunately, she could not say them out loud every time she tried to put them into practice.

The main problem is that the obvious tactics are hard to guard against; those words...

Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed.

After Twice's schedule ended, the group was able to return to their dorm for a short rest.

Hirai Momo pretended to go back with everyone, but when no one was paying attention, she secretly slipped out and got into the car that Mingyan had already parked downstairs. It was obvious that they had planned it beforehand.

"Momo, is everything going smoothly?" Mingyan gestured for the girl to fasten her seatbelt; he had already reserved a table at Haidilao.

Hirai Momo looked proud, as if she had done something amazing: "Oppa, don't worry, I fooled them all."

"well done."

"I'm actually the smartest person in Twice, I just pretend all the time."

Mingyan really didn't realize that this child had such a competitive spirit. Fortunately, she didn't focus all her energy on it and her choice to concentrate on dancing was absolutely the right one.

"Let's go, Haidilao!"

"set off!"

It must be admitted that anyone would feel very relaxed being with Momo Hirai.

The girl is not only adorably silly, but she also occasionally utters some very philosophical remarks that are very enlightening to Mingyan. Therefore, the criteria for judging whether someone is smart or not really need to be relaxed a bit.

"Oppa, just tell me what you need me for a favor." Hirai Momo's eyes lit up as soon as she entered Haidilao.

She took a blissful breath of the aroma filling the air; she had skipped lunch just for this meal.

Sure enough, the pleasure derived from delayed gratification is quite intense.

Mingyan was also a little hungry: "Let's eat first. After we've eaten and drunk our fill, we can talk about serious matters."

"Shall we eat first?"

"eat."

Hirai Momo felt that this oppa was indeed her soulmate. Only when you have a full stomach can you have the energy to think about serious matters. Even an emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers.

"Momo, let me teach you. You can't cook the tripe for too long. Put it in for about eight seconds and then take it out immediately. That's when it tastes the best." Mingyan taught the girl the most authentic way to eat hot pot.

"So fast!"

"Because it doesn't taste good when it gets old."

Hirai Momo's main strength is her dedication to learning. She always does what she's told and never argues back; she's always focused on eating.

The man also taught her his own unique Haidilao dipping sauce recipe, which received high praise from Hirai Momo.

She discovered that you have to eat hot pot with someone who knows what they're doing, otherwise you won't be able to eat it right.

"Oppa, now you can talk about your serious stuff." After showing off for more than twenty minutes, Hirai Momo finally patted her stomach with satisfaction.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him." She had already received the benefits, and now she had to do the work.

"I am full?"

"I'll eat until I'm about 70% full. I still need to maintain my figure during this active period."

Hirai Momo's words revealed her to be a capable person, which even Mingyan couldn't help but admire.

"I'm going abroad soon to film a new drama." Mingyan got down to business: "I wanted to ask you for a favor..."

Momoto Hirai quickly chimed in, "Please let me supervise Nayeon unnie."

"Wait, why are you spying on Nayeon?"

Even Mingyan has been confused.

"To prevent Nayeon unnie from cheating, that's how it's portrayed in dramas." Hirai Momo's thought process is even more outrageous than Kim Jisoo's.

"No."

"what is that?"

"Keep an eye on Jeongyeon for me."
