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

Chapter 265 Self-deception
A dozen minutes later, the car drove into the underground parking garage of the residential complex.

The three of them took the elevator back to their 12th-floor apartment.

Standing at the door, Lim Yoona suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute, how did I end up here with them? I should have gotten off the elevator and gone home on the next floor.

However, Kim Tae-yeon had already entered the password and opened the door.

Watching her skillfully enter the password, Lim Yoona puffed out her cheeks.

Oh well, I might as well go in and take the deer figurine back. That was her main purpose for coming here tonight, wasn't it?

But when she glanced up and saw the blood-stained white hoodie on Chen Yan, she couldn't help but purse her lips again, feeling a little hesitant.

After changing into slippers, Kim Tae-yeon pulled Chen Yan to sit down on the sofa.

"Xiaoyan, take off your clothes."

"what?"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Lim Yoona behind Kim Tae-yeon.

Yoona's expression remained normal.

She wasn't unfamiliar with it; the two of them had been completely honest with each other countless times in their past lives, and she knew the details perfectly well.

But then she realized that, given her current status, it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to stay there any longer.

She pursed her lips slightly and said calmly, "Then I'll be going now."

She's been brought back, and there's nothing seriously wrong with her, so she has no reason to stay here.

Kim Tae-yeon then spoke up, "Yoona, wait a moment. Let me check Xiaoyan's wound first. If it's bleeding, we'll have to treat it again. It's a bit difficult for me to do it alone."

She looked at Yoona's expressionless face and couldn't help but purse her lips.

Why pretend you don't care?

So, when I answered the phone just now, I was the only one who cried, right?

You're not the one who almost put on the wrong shoes when you're in such a rush to change them before going out, are you?

So, now that I'm not torturing myself anymore, you're starting to play this game, huh?

These are all things I've already played with before, little sister.

"Oh, okay."

Yoona nodded calmly.

She felt that Kim Tae-yeon made a good point. The impact in the car just now did seem a bit heavy. It wouldn't be too late to leave after she confirmed that Chen Yan was really okay.

Kim Tae-yeon turned to Chen Yan and said, "Take off your shirt quickly, let me see the wound on your back."

The impact she just experienced in the car did make her a little uneasy, and she needed to check the wound to confirm the situation.

"Oh."

Chen Yan didn't hesitate; after all, it was just taking off his upper clothes, not taking off all his clothes.

Besides, there are no outsiders here, so if they see it, they see it.

He stood up and deftly took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body with several bandages wrapped around his chest.

"Turn around."

Chen Yan turned around, and Kim Tae-yeon was relieved to see that there was no bleeding from the wound on his back.

But looking at the area wrapped in bandages, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, and instinctively reached out and gently pinched his waist.

"Be careful when you're out in the future, you almost scared me to death."

Chen Yan quickly begged for forgiveness: "Nuna, I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future and will not make you worry again."

Seeing the two of them almost playfully fighting, a slight ripple appeared on Lin Yoona's originally calm face.

This time, she couldn't reach out her hand like she did in the waiting room last time.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "Since he's alright, I'll be going now."

Kim Tae-yeon withdrew her hand, turned around and smiled at her, nodding: "Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight."

Yoona nodded slightly in response and turned to leave.

At that moment, Kim Tae-yeon's voice rang out again from behind: "If there's anything I can help you with, I'll give you a call. Anyway, Yoona, you live downstairs."

Lin Yoona paused in her steps.

A second later, a soft response rang out. "Mm."

Back at her home downstairs, Lim Yoona turned on the lights and collapsed onto the living room sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After a long while, she suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.

It turns out I've been deceiving myself all these past two days.

She never let go.

All the pretense that seemed to have been dropped was instantly and completely exposed when the news of the man's accident came.

The heart cannot lie.

When she heard that Chen Yan was in trouble, her heart was filled with unprecedented panic.

When she heard that Chen Yan got hurt because he went to buy coffee with Bae Suzy, anger and jealousy welled up from the bottom of her heart.

When she saw Chen Yan and Taeyeon teasing each other, her heart couldn't help but ache, and she even felt a little jealous.

Lim Yoona let out a long sigh.

She hasn't let go at all, not even a little bit.

The little deer figurine on Chen Yan's bedroom desk was thinking: "You promised to take me back!"

The next morning.

"I'm leaving now, Xiaoyan. Take care of your wound while you're at work, and don't bump it."

Kim Tae-yeon stood at the door saying goodbye to her man.

Although it's only 5 a.m., she has to head to the beauty salon to get her makeup done and catch her morning schedule.

Even during concert preparations, they were still quite busy, with other commitments to keep them on their schedules.

The only difference is that the schedule has been reduced, freeing up time to practice the songs to be performed at the concert.

"Don't worry, Nuna, I'll be careful."

Chen Yan put his arm around the woman's soft, slender waist, nodded, and then lowered his head to give her a light kiss on her pink lips.

"Then I'm leaving."

"OK Bye Bye."

After watching the elevator doors close, Chen Yan closed the door and went back inside.

As I walked back to my bedroom, I couldn't help but yawn.

It's only a little past five o'clock, still a long time before work starts, he needs to go back and take a nap.

He lay back down on the bed, but instead of closing his eyes immediately, he stared at the ceiling for a while.

The image of Yoona's beautiful face involuntarily popped into my mind.

Judging from her behavior last night, it seems she still likes me.

Otherwise, how could she have been sobbing when answering the phone, clearly worried about me?

Moreover, she came to the hospital with Kim Tae-yeon to see him, and her expression showed obvious worry.

However, on the way back, he barely communicated with me at all, and the only two sentences he uttered were filled with obvious anger and resentment.

It's like he can't let go and still likes her, but he also blames himself for being a jerk.

Sigh, but I really can't give up on Kim Tae-yeon and Peach.

Thinking of Kim Tae-yeon, Chen Yan felt a little unaccustomed to suddenly not having this sweet and soft older sister in his arms.

A jumble of random thoughts flashed through his mind, his eyelids grew heavy, and he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Chen Yan didn't wake up again until more than an hour later, to the sound of his alarm.

I got up, washed up, got ready, and then went to work.

I arrived at the work floor and greeted several colleagues.

Chen Yan hung his backpack on the chair, picked up his water cup, and was about to go to the tea room to get some water.

The cell phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it; it was Bae Suzy.
