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

Chapter 295 You're not in a relationship, are you, Jessica?
Krystal Jung glanced at the voice recorder in Chen Yan's hand and a smile appeared on her lips.

"When I saw this voice recorder just now, I thought it must be the one I gave you, and I didn't expect it to be."

"I took it out and used it briefly, but I accidentally forgot to put it back in my pocket."

Chen Yan looked somewhat embarrassed. It would be quite awkward for the person who gave him the gift to witness him almost losing it.

Do you like this voice recorder?

"I like it. It looks nice and works well too."

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Besides, this is a gift from you."

The girl met the man's smiling eyes for a second, then quickly looked away and took a sip of her iced Americano.

Let's be friends! Let's be friends! This guy is only good as a friend!
Watching her sip her iced Americano, Chen Yan subconsciously reminded her, "Soojung, drink less iced coffee at night, it might upset your stomach."

The sucking motion paused, a memory surfaced, and Jung Soo-jung's heart suddenly felt somewhat heavy again.

The last time Chen Yan said this to her was at a coffee shop near his home.

When she found out that Chen Yan and Taeyeon were together, she cried like a fool in the back seat of the taxi on the way back.

This time, she learned about the relationship between Chen Yan, Taeyeon, and Sulli, and realized that he was a womanizing scumbag, so she decided to stop liking him.

Silently releasing the straw, Krystal pushed her iced Americano aside, looked at Chen Yan and smiled, "Okay, I won't drink it."

I'm not drinking iced Americano anymore, and I hope I won't be sad because of you anymore.

Chen Yan was unaware of what the girl was thinking. He smiled when he saw this and then started chatting with Jung Soo-jung about other topics.

About twenty minutes later, near the f(x) dormitory, not far from the coffee shop, a black Mercedes-Benz was parked on the side of the road.

In the car, Krystal Jung unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Chen Yan.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Okay, go back and get some rest."

"Ah, you too."

After opening the car door and getting out, Krystal Jung took a deep breath and started walking towards her dormitory.

After returning to her dorm, she greeted Song Qian and the other two people sitting in the living room, and then went straight to her room.

The room was empty; Choi Sulli had not returned yet.

She reached out and turned on the room light, then leaned back on the bed, blinking her eyes as she stared at the ceiling.

A moment later, Krystal Jung picked up her phone, opened Kakao, and clicked on the profile picture with a starry sky.

Tap your finger lightly a few times on the screen.

The nickname has been changed from "Bastard" to "Chen Yan".

After thinking for a moment, the girl tapped the screen again.

【陈言】 becomes 【陈言（朋友）】.

Looking at the final edited note, Krystal Jung was lost in thought for a few seconds, then her lips parted slightly, and she murmured:

"That should be fine, right?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, at SM Entertainment...

Jessica Jung entered the practice room with a completely different joyful feeling than her younger sister.

Her plan to hook up with a scumbag was going smoothly, so how could she not be happy?

The rest of the people in the practice room had already arrived, and they all turned to look when they heard the door open. They were momentarily stunned when they saw Jessica Jung's exquisite outfit and radiant smile.

Lee Soon-kyu asked with some curiosity, "Jessica, did you just finish your schedule and come here?"

"No, I finished my trip around 2 p.m. today."

Jessica Jung walked to her wardrobe, opened it, and replied while preparing to change her clothes.

"Then what's with your outfit?"

Look at this girl's outfit: a wool coat over a turtleneck sweater, and dark blue skinny jeans that perfectly accentuate her long, shapely legs and her excellent waist and hip curves.

Paired with those black high-heeled leather boots and the exquisite makeup on her pretty face, she is the perfect embodiment of the term "urban beauty."

Although they are female idols, they rarely dress up so elaborately in their private lives, except when they are on a schedule or at the airport.

"Oh, I just went to meet someone for something."

"Meeting someone? Who is it? You look so radiant, you're not in a relationship, are you, Jessica?" Choi Sooyoung asked curiously.

Jessica Jung rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not in a relationship. If I were, I would definitely tell you."

Although her purpose in meeting Chen Yan was indeed to get him to date her, the word "date" was in quotation marks.

Her ultimate goal is to save Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, two poor souls who were deceived by scumbags.

Jessica Jung glanced secretly at Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, the two "silly women" sitting together not far away, and finally used personal matters as an excuse to avoid others asking any more questions.

Since everyone was an adult, they tactfully refrained from asking any further questions once they realized it was a private matter.

But when Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah heard those two words, they immediately frowned and glanced at Jessica Jung, who was changing clothes.

Then, as if on cue, they thought of something and turned to look at each other, their brows furrowing even more.

However, both of them knew that now was not the time to talk, so they exchanged a glance and then got up to immerse themselves in their dance practice.

Under the deep night sky, in Chen Yan's home in Cheongdam-dong.

Chen Yan sat at his desk, compiled some materials about composition and arrangement into a document, and then sent it to Jessica Jung.

I picked up my phone and sent a message to Jessica Jung, but the message went unread.

Knowing that the members of Girls' Generation should still be practicing at the company, Chen Yan put down his phone after sending the message and continued to attend to his own business.

Two hours later, Chen Yan, who was already in bed, received a reply from Jessica Jung.

The other party thanked him, and Chen Yan replied that he was welcome, then turned around and continued chatting with Kim Tae-yeon and the others.

Inside the Girls' Generation dormitory, Jessica Jung, leaning against the headboard, frowned slightly as she looked at the message Chen Yan had replied to two minutes earlier on her phone.

"That's it? You just said 'you're welcome' and that's it? It's reasonable, but wouldn't it be nice to continue the conversation a little longer?"

After thinking for a moment, she could only conclude that Chen Yan, that scumbag, felt that their relationship wasn't close enough, so he didn't talk to her much.

Well, that's fine too. Let's take it slow. As time goes on and we talk more, this jerk will definitely make a move.

With a nonchalant pout, Jessica Jung exited the chat with Chen Yan and turned to look at some fashion news.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan chatted with Kim Tae-yeon and the others for a while, said goodnight to each other, and then lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Consciousness drifted in the darkness for a moment, and then suddenly a bright light appeared all around.

After the light came on, Chen Yan, who had regained consciousness, looked up and saw some familiar newspaper headlines again.

But after seeing the contents, he suddenly widened his eyes and froze on the spot.
