Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 124 The Approaching Shadow (Happy Birthday, Peach~)

"Goodbye oppa."

In the underground parking garage of the residential complex, Choi Sulli got out of the car, said goodbye to her manager, and turned to walk briskly toward the elevator.

"Ding"

The girl stepped out of the elevator, opened the dormitory door, and cautiously peeked out, only to suddenly freeze in shock the next second.

Wait a minute, the other girls are still busy with their schedules and haven't come back yet. Why am I doing this like a thief?

Sulli slapped her forehead, quickly changed her shoes, and hurried towards her room.

I need to hurry. I still need to put on makeup and change clothes. If I don't hurry, it will be troublesome if they come back and see me.

Although she had already thought of an excuse to go out that night—to go to Lee Ji-eun’s place to listen to the finished product of the song she wrote for her.

Lee Ji-eun: Can you please find someone else to rip me off?!
However, if this excuse is paired with a meticulously prepared makeup look, then it becomes somewhat unreasonable.

So she had to be quick, or her teammates would see her.

Especially Krystal Jung.

Choi Sulli picked up her phone and glanced at the time; it was almost six o'clock.

She quickly went into the room to grab her makeup tools, then hurried into the bathroom to start applying makeup.

After nearly an hour of getting ready, the girl looked at herself in the mirror.

Her fair and delicate face was adorned with a subtle blush, perfectly highlighting the youthful energy that belonged to her age.

Because of her age, Choi Sulli didn't deliberately wear mature makeup; instead, she aimed to highlight the youthful energy that hadn't yet faded from her.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the girl's delicate eyebrows curved with satisfaction, and her pink lips pursed slightly, gleaming alluringly under the light.

The person standing in front of the mirror now is not Sulli of f(x), but a girl who is simply going to see her sweetheart, Choi Jin-ri.

With another satisfied smile, Choi Sulli packed her things and went back to her room to change her clothes.

Opening the wardrobe and looking at the clothes hanging inside, the girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she lightly pressed her right index finger against her lower lip.

What clothes should I wear?

Choi Sulli pondered with some distress, and the next second, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.

With her eyebrows relaxed and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she chuckled and reached out to one of the items without hesitation.

A few minutes later, Choi Sulli, having changed her clothes, came out of the room and went into the bathroom to check her makeup one last time.

Seeing that her teammates hadn't returned yet, she breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled brightly, put on a proper disguise, and left the dormitory with light steps.

It was just before eight o'clock in the evening, and night was beginning to fall.

"jingle"

The doorbell rang, and Chen Yan, who was sitting on the living room sofa lost in thought, came back to his senses, let out a soft sigh, and got up to open the door.

As expected, a tall figure immediately came into view when the door was opened.

"Good evening, Oppa~"

Choi Sulli stood at the door, her small hands behind her back, her head tilted slightly, her bright eyes, curved into crescents, looking at Chen Yan with an indescribable radiance.

Coupled with the girl's sweet voice, Chen Yan was momentarily dazed.

"Oh, good evening, Sherry."

Choi Sulli noticed the man's momentary daze, and a look of satisfaction flashed in the girl's eyes, her lips curving upwards slightly beneath her mask.

I'm quite charming, actually.

"Let's go, oppa, let's go for a walk."

"okay."

After a dazed reply, Chen Yan changed his shoes, went out, and closed the door.

Reaching out to press the elevator button, Choi Sulli, with her hands behind her back, turned her head to look at Chen Yan.

"Oppa, have you eaten yet?"

"Yes, I've eaten. What about you?"

"I ate it on set. Although it didn't taste good, it was free."

The girl's slightly teasing words made Chen Yan smile, and his previously gloomy mood instantly lightened up.

He turned to look at Choi Sulli. She was wearing a white short dress, black leather shoes, and white socks.

The simple outfit, paired with the small black crossbody bag, gave Chen Yan a sudden feeling of his beloved coming into reality.

The white short dress only reached a little above the knee.

Below, a pair of jade-like legs came into view. The girl's pale skin made her legs appear to glow under the corridor lights.

Chen Yan's gaze was drawn to those legs and lingered there for a while longer.

Beside her, Choi Sulli appeared to be looking straight ahead, but her delicate earlobes and cheeks under the mask gradually flushed red, and a hint of shyness appeared in her bright eyes.

As expected, what oppa said last time was actually what he really wanted to hear; he really wanted to see me in a skirt.

The girl glanced down at her own long legs.

Oppa seems to really like it.

"Ding"

The elevator arrived at the floor, and the two stepped inside.

The small space suddenly fell silent for some reason. Then, Choi Sulli suddenly spoke up: "Oppa, is it pretty?"

Chen Yan, who was looking straight ahead, was taken aback by her words and turned to look at her: "What's so interesting?"

Choi Sulli shrugged, a sly smile flashing in her eyes: "My outfit today..."

"Oh, dressing up."

Chen Yan smiled, then gave the girl a generous once-over before nodding: "Very pretty."

"Thank you for the compliment, oppa~"

The elevator then arrived at the first floor. Choi Sulli stepped out of the elevator with a smile. Just as Chen Yan was about to follow, the girl's voice suddenly came from in front of him again.

“Oppa, if you like looking, just look. There’s no need to be shy and only glance at it before quickly looking away.”

Chen Yan's smile froze instantly.

I started to catch up with Choi Sulli. Choi Sulli walked lightly on the stone path, and she had an indescribable brightness and joy about her.

Chen Yan sensed the girl's mood: "Shirley seems very happy today, is something good happening?"

"There is some good news. Didn't I say I had something important to tell oppa?"

Choi Sulli turned to look at Chen Yan, walking backwards and giggling, "But I'll tell oppa later, I'm going for a walk now."

After saying that, she turned around and continued walking forward with light steps.

Behind him, Chen Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, the smile on his face quickly fading as he pursed his lips.

Actually, I also have something to say to you.

But he looked at the shadow ahead, which seemed to radiate joy even in its shadow.

Forget it, let's talk about it later. There's no need to ruin her mood now.

He then caught up with Choi Sulli, their shadows intertwined, and they walked side by side around the apartment complex.

After a long while, when they reached a street lamp, Choi Sulli, who was a few steps ahead, suddenly stopped, looked around at the deserted area, and then turned around.

"Oppa."

"Ok?"

Behind him, Chen Yan, who was lost in thought, heard the sound, came back to his senses, and looked up at the other person.

Choi Sulli raised her hand and took off her mask, revealing her exquisitely made-up face to Chen Yan.

The girl smiled, and the light in her eyes shone like stars under the streetlights, making the man momentarily dazed.

Suddenly, the girl's shadow under the streetlight moved, slowly approaching the man.

A moment later, the shadow stopped moving again.

Choi Sulli tilted her head slightly, her starry eyes gazing at the man before her, and her lips parted slightly: "Oppa~"

Looking into those captivating eyes, Chen Yan blankly replied again, "Hmm?"

I like you~
