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

Chapter 216 A Battleground (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets!)

"Nuna, why don't you go sit outside first? The fumes from the kitchen are bad for a girl's skin."

"It's nothing, it'll only last a short while, it's no big deal."

Seeing that the older sister was determined to stay in the kitchen, Chen Yan smiled and stopped trying to persuade her, turning his attention to cooking.

Behind him, Kim Tae-yeon watched his retreating figure with a smile on her face. She took out her phone, opened the camera, stepped back to the kitchen doorway, and found the right angle to capture the moment.

"jingle"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Kim Tae-yeon subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the door, frowned in confusion, and then turned to look at Chen Yan.

"Xiao Yan, did you call anyone over?"

"what?"

With the range hood on in the kitchen, Chen Yan, focused on cooking, didn't hear the doorbell ring.

"Someone rang the doorbell just now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan frowned in confusion: "But I didn't call anyone over."

Peach didn't tell him she was coming, and that girl knew the password, so there was no need to ring the doorbell.

"Who is that?"

Kim Tae-yeon's first reaction was also that it was Choi Sulli's younger sister, but now it seems that it is obviously not.

"jingle"

The doorbell rang again.

Chen Yan heard it this time as well.

"I gonna go see."

Kim Tae-yeon turned and walked to the door. After seeing the person standing outside through the video call, her eyes narrowed.

"Who is it, Nuna?"

Chen Yan asked a question from the kitchen doorway.

“It’s Yoona,” Kim Tae-yeon replied calmly.

Chen Yan was stunned.

Kim Tae-yeon had already walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, Lin Yoona frowned in confusion, taking out her phone to contact Chen Yan, when the door opened at that moment.

"Oh"

She subconsciously raised her eyebrows, preparing to greet him warmly.

But after seeing who was behind the door, the words he was about to say were swallowed back, and his arched eyebrows gradually returned to calm.

"What are you doing here, Unnie?"

Yoona's voice became calm.

Kim Tae-yeon smiled with narrowed eyes: "It's perfectly normal for me to be here. But Yoona, what are you doing here?"

At the kitchen doorway, after a brief moment of distraction, Chen Yan immediately thought of the dream he had a few nights ago.

A sudden panic gripped my heart, and I quickly walked to the door.

Seeing the two people at the door just staring at each other without saying a word, the atmosphere was strangely awkward.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Chen Yan still subconsciously forced a smile and said:

"Yoona, what brings you here?"

Looking past Kim Tae-yeon in front of her, Lim Yoon-a turned to Chen Yan, her eyebrows curving upwards again.

"It's nothing, I just moved downstairs and thought you'd probably be home this weekend, so I decided to come up and say hello."

Noticing the apron he was wearing, she asked, "Are you cooking?"

"Um"

Chen Yan was about to reply instinctively when Kim Tae-yeon's surprised voice rang out first: "You moved downstairs?"

"Hmm~"

Yoona's gaze instantly shifted to the unnie in front of her: "I just moved in today."

As he spoke, a clear look of smugness flashed in his curved deer eyes.

Kim Tae-yeon didn't reply, but just frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought. Seeing this, Im Yoon-a's lips curled up slightly again.

But when her gaze fell back on Chen Yan, the smile on her face immediately faded and her lips pursed.

Is he cooking for Taeyeon unnie? I haven't had his cooking in a long time.

Chen Yan stood at the entrance, watching the two of them standing there, unsure of what to say.

As is customary, one would usually invite the person in first, and then politely mention that one is cooking and ask if the other person would like to stay and have some.

But right now, in this strange atmosphere, it seems a bit inappropriate to say that.

Moreover, this dinner tonight was originally prepared by him to appease Kim Tae-yeon regarding the previous scandal, and it would definitely be inappropriate to invite someone else without her consent.

Yoona also knew that the timing was not right. The enemy was strong and she was weak, so she was clearly at a disadvantage.

Even if we were to fight, we should choose a suitable time; perhaps we should take a step back for now.

However, she couldn't make her retreat too obvious.

She smiled at Chen Yan and said, "Now that I've said my hello, I'll head back. We'll be neighbors from now on, and I'll come over often."

This was a message to Kim Tae-yeon that she would have many opportunities to interact with Chen Yan in the future.

After saying that, Lim Yoona glanced at Kim Tae-yeon again, and was just about to turn around and leave.

Kim Tae-yeon suddenly spoke up: "Since we're already here, why don't we stay and have a meal together? Yoona, your next schedule is still a long way off, isn't it?"

Lim Yoona was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised that Kim Tae-yeon would invite her to have dinner together.

But only for a second, she narrowed her doe-like eyes and smiled: "It's not impossible."

Since the other party has taken the initiative to speak, if she refuses, wouldn't that indirectly show that she's afraid?

No matter what this unnie's purpose is, I'm not afraid at all; I'll just deal with whatever comes my way.

He looked at Chen Yan behind him and asked, "Chen Yan, you don't mind if I stay and eat with you, do you?"

Chen Yan quickly smiled and waved his hand: "Of course I don't mind."

This meal was originally prepared for Kim Tae-yeon, and now that this older sister has spoken up, he naturally has no objections.

But suddenly he felt that the two of them seemed to be competing with each other.

"Then I'll have to bother you. It'll be a good opportunity to try your cooking, Chen Yan."

Lim Yoona walked in with a smile.

After she came in, Kim Tae-yeon naturally bent down to open the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of slippers and placed them next to Im Yoon-ah's feet.

"These slippers are new, Yoona, you can wear these."

Yoona naturally took off her shoes and put them on: "Perfect, unnie, I was wearing these slippers when I came last time."

A smile graced his face, and a glint of light flashed in his slightly upturned deer eyes.

You want to show off your role as the lady of the house, huh? You're smiling so calmly, but I'm not going to let you have your way.

Kim Tae-yeon's composed smile froze slightly.

At this moment, Chen Yan's voice rang out behind the two of them: "Then I'll go back and cook first. Nuna, you entertain Yoona."

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon's smile returned to its natural state.

Entertaining guests is something only the lady of the house can do.

She turned around and smiled, "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Because he's so sensible, I won't hold it against him for not telling me that Yoona came to our house.

Behind her, Yoona's smile froze.

Damn it, you scumbag!

Chen Yan walked quickly back to the kitchen, his steps carrying a hint of fleeing.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The two sat on a short sofa and a long sofa, respectively.

On the short sofa, Lim Yoona glanced at Kim Tae-yeon, then suddenly realized something, got up and sat down next to Kim Tae-yeon.

I felt like a guest sitting on the short sofa.

That won't do; I'm not a guest.
