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

Chapter 284 You can't just sleep with anyone in your arms!
"Ok?"

Chen Yan stopped and turned to look at the girl.

Lee Ji-eun looked up at him, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation and a hint of weariness that she could hardly hide.

Chen Yan was stunned.

Considering how busy the girl had been lately, and that she had only said this because she trusted him, he realized that...

He smiled and nodded: "Sure."

"Thank you oppa."

The girl's almond-shaped eyes narrowed instantly. Just as she was about to follow Chen Yan forward, she suddenly remembered something and snapped her fingers.

"Oppa, I'm going to buy some bar food, eat snacks, drink and chat, that's the real experience."

"what?"

Why the sudden change of heart?

Seeing that Lee Ji-eun was about to turn around, Chen Yan quickly reached out and grabbed her: "Why are you drinking so late at night? Don't you have an event to attend tomorrow?"

"Oh dear, the event is tomorrow at noon. It just doesn't feel right to chat like this late at night without having a few drinks."

The girl reached out and tugged at Chen Yan's sleeve again, her tone slightly coquettish: "I'll go buy a bottle of soju oppa, we can share one so we won't get drunk."

"Oh, that's okay."

Chen Yan nodded. There shouldn't be any problem if the two of them shared a bottle of liquor.

Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up with joy, and she turned to go back to the elevator.

Just then, a hand grabbed her again. Turning her head, she saw Chen Yan looking at her with a scrutinizing expression.

"Ji-eun, how's your alcohol tolerance? You really won't get drunk after a bottle of soju?"

He couldn't help but worry. With two cautionary tales before him—Kim Tae-yeon falling asleep after a single drink and Choi Sulli crying by the roadside—Chen Yan felt it was necessary to find out the girls' alcohol tolerance beforehand.

If Lee Ji-eun's alcohol tolerance is as low as Kim Tae-yeon's, then things will be complicated.

His room only has one bed.

The girl isn't like Kim Tae-yeon or Choi Sulli. If she gets drunk, you can just go through the trouble of carrying her to bed and then cuddle her up to sleep comfortably.

But Lee Ji-eun can't do that.

You can't just hug someone and sleep with them.

"Hey oppa, don't worry, I can hold my liquor pretty well. I've drunk three bottles of soju by myself before and I'm not drunk, let alone the two of us drinking one bottle."

"alright."

Chen Yan smiled helplessly, handed her the bag of snacks, and then took out the room key from his pocket.

"I'll go buy it. You go to my room and wait for me."

"Hehe~ Thanks, oppa."

Lee Ji-eun smiled as she accepted the snack bag and room key.

Just as the girl turned to leave, Chen Yan called out to her again: "Wait a minute, Zhi'en, give me your room key."

"My room key?"

"Yeah, otherwise how would I get up here?"

Chen Yan pointed to the elevator.

This elevator can only be accessed by swiping a room card for the corresponding floor. He gave his room card to Lee Ji-eun, so he definitely needs Lee Ji-eun's room card to get on.

Lee Ji-eun realized what was happening, chuckled sheepishly, and took her room key out of her pocket, handing it to Chen Yan.

"Then I'll go back to my room and wait for you, oppa. Come back soon."

Chen Yan blinked.

Why did he suddenly feel that what he said sounded a bit ambiguous?

He watched Lee Ji-eun skip away, shook his head, and turned to walk into the elevator.

I walked back to the convenience store, bought a bottle of soju, and then went back to the 13th floor of the hotel. When I got to my room, I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

"Coming~"

A light, cheerful response rang out from inside the room, but a few seconds later a more wary voice asked, "Who is it?"

Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smile: "It's me."

A series of footsteps sounded soon after, the door opened, revealing Lee Ji-eun's fair and delicate face.

"Hey hey, oppa, you're back."

"Quite alert."

"That's~"

Lee Ji-eun puffed out her chest and closed the door after Chen Yan entered.

"As a girl going out alone, of course I have to be a little more alert."

Although she can be quite naive at times, she is absolutely never careless when it comes to safety.

When you're traveling alone, the first rule is not to open the door to just anyone.

Although it might seem more dangerous for a man to come to a man's room so late at night.

But Chen Yan is different. He is her close oppa, her composition teacher, and her best friend Choi Sulli's boyfriend.

It's safe to say that the buffs are fully stacked, there's no danger at all, and you can rest assured.

Upon entering the room, a small coffee table not far from the bed was already filled with snacks, along with two disposable paper cups.

With the addition of the warm yellow wall lamp on the adjacent wall, it actually creates a bit of a late-night heart-to-heart talk atmosphere.

"Oppa, sit down~"

Lee Ji-eun took the soju from Chen Yan, walked to the sofa next to the small coffee table, sat down, patted the seat next to her, and gestured for Chen Yan to sit down as well.

Chen Yan walked over and sat down next to her.

Seeing the girl skillfully open the bottle of liquor and pour some into two disposable paper cups, he couldn't help but laugh:
"You're very skilled, Ji-eun."

The girl's fluid movements were just like a little drunkard's; the last person to give him that feeling was Lee Soon-kyu's older sister.

"Hehe, I used to watch a lot of videos of people opening bottles online, and then I learned how to do it myself. Here you go, oppa."

Lee Ji-eun handed a glass of wine to Chen Yan, then raised her own glass and smiled at him, saying, "Come on, oppa, cheers!"

Chen Yan didn't clink glasses with the girl, but instead raised his other hand and lightly flicked her smooth forehead.

"Ouch~"

"What are you drinking? Don't drink too much at once. What if you accidentally get drunk? There aren't any extra beds for you to sleep on here."

"Everyone says I can drink at least three bottles of soju, oppa, how could I get drunk so easily?"

Lee Ji-eun rubbed her forehead and muttered, "And what if I really get drunk? Oppa can just sleep in my room, I already gave you the room key."

Chen Yan glared at her, annoyed. "You want to surprise your manager and assistant the next morning and let me be your rumored boyfriend again, right?"

We can't let a scandal happen again. Last time we only had to appease Kim Tae-yeon, but now we have to add Im Yoon-ah to the mix, which is going to be much more difficult.

When the topic of her rumored boyfriend came up, Lee Ji-eun remembered her mistake last time, smiled awkwardly, and suddenly fell silent.

The two then sipped their soju and ate the snacks they had bought, chatting about various topics.

Lee Ji-eun was the one doing most of the talking, while Chen Yan listened and occasionally chimed in with a few words.

Chen Yan also knew that Li Zhi'en wanted to chat with him that night, most likely because she was under too much work pressure lately and wanted to find someone she could trust to talk to about her feelings.

So he always played the role of a listener, listening to the girl talk about all sorts of things.

After a few rounds of drinks, and about half a bottle of soju down her throat, a faint blush crept onto Lee Ji-eun's face.

He opened a packet of dried fish and chewed on it, his eyes, slightly hazy, glancing at Chen Yan before suddenly speaking:
"Oppa, actually I'm sometimes quite envious of Peach."
