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

Chapter 217 What a clever trick, Unnie! (Requesting double monthly votes!)

Kim Tae-yeon was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then she understood and almost rolled her eyes.

You're even fussing over this? Looks like you're determined to take Xiaoyan back.

The two sat with a person's distance between them, just like before, each looking straight ahead without glancing at the other.

After a moment, Kim Tae-yeon spoke up: "Yoona, how did you know that Xiaoyan lives here?"

She knew that Yoona definitely wouldn't ask Lee Soon-kyu and the other two who had been there, as that might cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, none of the members knew that Yoona and he had a falling out because of Xiaoyan. If Yoona asked, Lee Soon-kyu and the others would inevitably find out something.

Yoona smiled confidently: "Of course I asked Chen Yan himself."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded and didn't ask for any more details.

Given how smart this younger sister is, it would be very easy for her to find out where Xiao Yan lives from him.

"So you moved to the apartment below Xiaoyan's?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I've been thinking about moving to recently."

Yoona smiled, then her doe-like eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Taeyeon; "Unnie, you're not going to make Chen Yan move out in a couple of days, are you?"

Kim Tae-yeon blinked and smiled calmly, "No, Xiao Yan is living here just fine, why would I ask him to move out?"

Furthermore, if she makes Chen Yan move out just because Lin Yoona moved in, wouldn't that indirectly show that she's afraid of her?

I'm not afraid of her at all.

Im Yoona nodded in relief, knowing to some extent that Kim Tae-yeon wouldn't resort to such childish tactics.

If she really does that, then it will be a complete breakdown in relations.

"So you came to Xiaoyan's house on the day you signed the contract?"

Kim Tae-yeon wasn't stupid either; she quickly deduced roughly when Im Yoon-ah had arrived at her house.

"Yes, I also took a tour of the house."

Yoona turned her head and said with a half-smile, "The little sheep figurine that unnie gave me is quite cute. I feel it's even cuter than unnie herself."

"Thank you for the compliment. Xiaoyan also likes that ornament very much. She wipes it almost every day and takes good care of it."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and replied, her eyes narrowed.

Being instantly retaliated against and suffering a hidden loss, Lim Yoona gritted her teeth inwardly.

The living room fell silent. Neither of them spoke again, except for the occasional sound of cooking from the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, Chen Yan was cooking, but his eyes, which were fixed on the pot, seemed unfocused.

He was thinking about the dream he had that night.

In that dream, the atmosphere he felt seemed to be similar to what he had felt at the doorway just now.

It seems like Kim Tae-yeon's older sister and Im Yoon-ah are secretly competing with each other.

But why is that?

Could it really be because of him?
After cooking a dish, Chen Yan rested his hands on the counter, carefully recalling the scene from his dream that night.

The words Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah spoke, their actions and tone of voice, and the soft, smooth feel of their legs...
Pshaw, what are you thinking? That's not the point.

Cursing himself under his breath, Chen Yan walked to the kitchen doorway and listened carefully.

The living room was completely silent, almost too quiet.

This is clearly not right; he remembers that the two of them had a very good relationship.

After thinking about it, he decided to find an excuse to go out and take a look.

As Chen Yan stepped out of the kitchen and approached the living room, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Because the two people in the living room looked over at the same time.

Upon seeing him, both of them immediately broke into smiles, their previously expressionless faces now showing no emotion.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyan?" Kim Tae-yeon asked with a smile.

Chen Yan smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Oh, I noticed there were no trash bags in the kitchen, so I came to the living room to see if there were any."

"Oh, a garbage bag."

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Im Yoon-ah beside her with a smile, and was about to bend down to open the drawer under the coffee table to get a trash bag. But then, as if remembering something, she stopped, looked up at Chen Yan, and smiled:

"I remember we've run out of trash bags in the living room, but it's okay, the house across the street has some. I'll go get them now."

After saying that, Kim Tae-yeon got up and walked towards the door.

Chen Yan blinked, looking bewildered.

No, there are trash bags in the coffee table drawer. I checked them yesterday. How come they're gone today? I have to go to the neighbor's house to get them.

Coming to his senses, Chen Yan turned around, intending to call out to Kim Tae-yeon, but the sound of the door closing came first.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Chen Yan turned his head again in a daze, only to see Lin Yoona sitting on the sofa looking at him, her smile seemingly tinged with resentment.

"Didn't you say you'd only seen the people living across the street a few times? How come it's Taeyeon unnie's house now?"

hiss.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no, I guess I shouldn't have come out.

He smiled awkwardly and replied honestly, "Nuna said not to tell anyone that she lives across the street, not even the members of Girls' Generation."

Yoona's hands, which were resting on her lap, were clenched tightly, and her teeth were almost grinding to powder.

She told you not to talk, and you really didn't, right? You're so obedient.

Just moments ago, I was gloating to Kim Tae-yeon about moving downstairs from Chen Yan.

Yoona's chest heaved, a surge of anger rising within her.

Seeing this, Chen Yan subconsciously hesitated to speak, unsure whether to stay or leave.

Then, a sound as beautiful as heavenly music rang out as the door opened, followed by the sound of the door closing and a series of footsteps.

Kim Tae-yeon is back.

"Xiaoyan, here, a trash bag."

"Okay, thank you, Nuna. I'll go back and cook now."

Taking the trash bag from Kim Tae-yeon, Chen Yan smiled, glanced at the two of them, then turned and quickly walked back to the kitchen.

This place is not safe to stay for long; I'd better stay in the kitchen and cook.

Kim Tae-yeon returned to sit next to Im Yoon-ah with a smile and elegantly crossed her legs.

However, after glancing at Yoona's legs, which were also crossed, he subtly withdrew his gaze and sat up straight.

Looking straight ahead, Lim Yoona suddenly said, "What a clever move, unnie."

The voice was flat and emotionless.

Kim Tae-yeon smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

She knew that Lin Yoona was referring to her settling down across from Chen Yan.

"So that house in the neighboring community is where Unnie keeps other Unnies and Seohyun, right?"

"Ah."

Kim Tae-yeon responded, then added, "So Yoona, why don't you move back?"

The implication is that I've already taken over the other side, so there's no advantage for you living downstairs; you might as well give up.

"Why move back? I feel that living downstairs is quite nice, and I really like the house here."

Yoona had already adjusted her mindset by this time.

Even though the other person is already this unnie's, she can't come here every day; her usual schedule is busy enough.

Although her situation was similar to hers, their schedules always overlapped at times, and that was when her opportunity came.

The two turned and looked at each other simultaneously, as if an electric current had flashed through the air.

They tacitly looked away, and the living room returned to silence.
