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

Chapter 278 We can't afford to offend both the kings.
Chen Yan thought the girl was simply thanking him for the candlelight dinner he had prepared: "Oh, there's nothing to thank me for. It's Valentine's Day, so let's eat first, Peach. The food will get cold if we don't eat soon."

Choi Sulli smiled brightly and nodded: "Okay~"

She sat down at either end of the table, looked at the steak in front of her, and then at the candles that Chen Yan had lit and the bouquet of roses in the middle.

Her bright, sparkling eyes asked, "Oppa, can I take a picture first?"

"Of course, your phone is on the coffee table in the living room."

Choi Sulli chuckled, immediately got up, ran to the living room to grab her phone, and then ran back.

Pointing the camera at the table of dishes in front of him, he carefully and meticulously searched for suitable angles to take photos.

Finally, he took a few more photos with Chen Yan before putting down his phone, satisfied.

As she scrolled through the photos on her phone, the girl felt a surge of emotion, a desire to share a precious gift with others, or perhaps even a little bit to show it off.

Hmm. Sharing it with Taeyeon unnie or Yoona unnie is definitely not an option.

I'll be living in this house from now on, so I can't afford to offend both the King and Queen at once.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah: Who is the older one and who is the younger one?

Suddenly, a name popped into my head.

The girl chuckled, opened Kakao, clicked on a profile picture, and quickly sent several photos.

The message was read instantly, even though the recipient was looking at their phone at that moment.

I am grateful: ?

Seeing this, Choi Sulli smiled slightly and quickly replied: Oppa prepared a candlelight dinner for me~
Zhi En Na: I'm sorry, your friend has blocked you and will no longer receive your messages.

Hehe, it seems like Ji-eun has lost her guard.

Just as Choi Sulli was about to reply again, Chen Yan's voice rang out from the other end: "Peach, let's eat first, stop playing on your phone, or the food will get cold."

"Oh, okay, oppa."

She stuck out her tongue cutely at Chen Yan and quickly replied with a message: Oppa called me to dinner, I have to talk to you later, Ji Eun.

After sending the message, he muted the phone, turned off the screen, and flipped it over – a complete sequence of actions.

That way, she wouldn't hear or see the messages Lee Ji-eun sent her to scold her.

The two then picked up their knives and forks and began eating their steaks while chatting.

"Oppa, why are you making a few more Chinese dishes?"

"Because I was worried that one steak wouldn't be enough, I made several more dishes, creating a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine. How about that? Pretty unique, right?"

"Hmm~ Special~"

Choi Sulli nodded, her crescent-shaped eyes crinkling.

It was truly special, so special that she would remember it for a lifetime.

Chen Yan smiled back and noticed the photo next to the girl: "By the way, why did you take this photo out?"

Choi Sulli paused in her steak-cutting motion, glanced at the photo next to her, blinked a few times, and then looked up at Chen Yan.

"Oh, I just saw it when I woke up. I wanted to ask oppa why he put a picture of me on his desk."

Although the answer to this question is no longer important, it doesn't hurt to ask.

She also wanted to hear what this oppa thought.

"Oh, that? I was just thinking that Taeyeon and Yoona both have decorative items in their bedrooms, so I was planning to get one for you too."

"I originally planned to order a peach ornament and put it on my desk along with the other two ornaments."

This idea originated from when Lin Yoona put a deer figurine on her desk, and Chen Yan suddenly thought of a three-piece set of sheep, deer, and peach figurines.

After thinking about it again, he realized it did seem quite interesting, so he decided to put the plan into action.

"But after looking at some photos and actual peach ornaments, I didn't think they were very pretty, and they didn't seem quite right for display."

Upon hearing this, Choi Sulli couldn't help but replace the photo of that location in her mind with a peach ornament, and then she couldn't help but laugh.

The scene was a bit funny, like offering peaches as a sacrifice. Chen Yan laughed too, clearly having imagined a similar scene.

"That's why I thought of replacing the ornaments with photos, and then I asked you for a few of your photos. That would be normal and look great."

"Oh, so that's it."

A look of realization flashed across Choi Sulli's face. Looking at the oppa opposite her, a sly glint suddenly appeared in her bright eyes.

"Oppa does a great job of treating everyone equally."

"cough cough"

Chen Yan, who had just taken a sip of the red wine beside him, choked on it, his expression showing the embarrassment of his little scheme being exposed.

"Hee hee~"

The girl giggled at the sight, her little feet under the table lifting and tapping lightly on the ground, clearly indicating that she was in a very good mood.

"Thank you, oppa, I really like it."

Of course she liked it. This oppa put her photo in the bedroom, so no matter who entered the bedroom, they would know at a glance that their relationship with oppa was special.

In some ways, this is even more direct than those two unnie figurines.

Moreover, listening to Chen Yan explain how he initially thought of making a peach ornament, but later felt it wasn't suitable and changed it to his own photo, Cui Xueli's heart was overflowing with sweetness and joy.

Oppa has always kept her in his heart.

She suddenly felt like she had been acting like a fool lately, constantly thinking about random things and worrying that her oppa might not like her anymore.

The girl silently warned herself, "I must never let my mind wander again and make the same mistake."

The cozy candlelight dinner ended after about half an hour. After cleaning up the dishes and kitchen together, the two returned to the sofa in the living room.

Choi Sulli glanced at the wall clock: "It's not even eight o'clock yet. Let's finish watching the movie, oppa, and then you can take me back to my dorm."

"it is good."

The girl nestled back into Chen Yan's arms with a smile, then suddenly remembered something and reached for her phone.

As expected, there was a row of messages on the screen, all sent by Lee Ji-eun.

Choi Sulli clicked on the message, and the screen jumped to the chat box between the two.

Lee Ji-eun sent more than a dozen messages, almost all of which were "cursing" her for showing off her relationship and expressing her anger.

The last message was from about twenty minutes ago. She said she had to go back to filming and would talk to me again afterward.

Looking at the message, Choi Sulli frowned slightly and muttered, "Aigoo, Ji-eun is really busy. I wonder if she can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan, who was standing to the side, recalled that Bae Suzy had also mentioned that Lee Ji-eun had been very busy lately.

Is IU filming right now?

"Yeah, we're filming a night scene tonight, and she released a Japanese album a few days ago. She told me she's going to ask the crew for two days off to go to Japan for an event."

"They'll probably be filming on set these next few days to catch up on the schedule. Ah, Ji-eun can really push herself sometimes, oppa."

Chen Yan nodded. Lee Ji-eun was indeed very hardworking at times, and had a strong competitive spirit.

Just like before, Lee Ji-eun couldn't write a song, but she refused to give up and kept pushing herself, which eventually made her so tired.

The two were chatting about Lee Ji-eun when a message notification suddenly sounded.

Choi Sulli subconsciously looked down at her phone.

If it's not yours, then it is.
Chen Yan picked up his phone and glanced at it. After seeing who sent the message, his eyebrows twitched slightly involuntarily.

Seeing this, Choi Sulli asked curiously, "Whose message is it, oppa?"

"Oh, it's Suzy."

"Suzy? Suzy unnie?!"
