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

Chapter 352: What does it mean when "one" becomes "five"? (4000-word chapter)
The contents of the box were very simple, just a single hard card.

The card simply had a few lines of text written on it.

OPPA Exclusive Coupon

Oppa who holds this coupon can make one request to me (without restrictions), and I will grant it unconditionally.

Party A: Choi Jin-ri
Party B:

Validity period: Perpetual.

The few simple lines of text caused Chen Yan and the other two to be momentarily stunned.

And for some reason, all the other characters were written in Korean, but the character "一" was written in Chinese, as if it were being emphasized.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, of course, also recognize this simple Chinese.

After glancing at the contents again, as if struck by a thought, the two narrowed their eyes and looked up at the peach.

Peach remained smiling, her expression unchanged even when facing the gazes of the two unnies.

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah each looked away and suppressed their thoughts.

Across from her, Peach noticed that the two unnies weren't looking at her, so she turned to her oppa and said with a grin:

"Oppa, do you like this gift?"

Chen Yan flipped the card in his hand over and looked at it.

The card was decorated with beautiful patterns, but there was nothing else besides a few lines of text.

Looking at this special, somewhat childlike gift, Chen Yan looked up and met Taozi's bright, clear eyes.

The man paused, taken aback.

In my mind, one of the words in my original simple evaluation of the gift was erased by an invisible hand, and a new adjective was written down.

This is a special, unreserved gift.

The person in front of me has been with SM Entertainment since childhood, and is actually much more mature than his peers.

So why did she create such a childlike gift? It's because of her unreserved affection for herself.

I will unconditionally agree to any request that has no restrictions.

Based on Chen Yan's understanding of the girl, she definitely wasn't writing it as a joke and then giving it to him as a birthday gift.

The hard card in his hand suddenly felt heavy and hot, almost making him lose his grip.

But a moment later, as he exhaled softly, the sudden increase in weight of the hard card disappeared, and the burning sensation was gone.

From the moment he dreamt about the girl's future and decided to change her predetermined fate, the girl's destiny had already begun to gradually become intertwined with his own, hadn't it?

Now, they are inseparable.

Since that's the case, why wouldn't I dare accept this gift?

He would never let this girl down.

Looking at the peach in front of him, Chen Yan gave a big smile: "Yes, I really like this gift, thank you peach."

As he spoke, he carefully put the card back into the box and put it away: "I will keep this gift safe, Peach, you can't go back on your word later."

Peach wrinkled her cute little upturned nose: "I won't renege on my promise."

Watching the interaction between the two, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah seemed to sense something, and gentle smiles appeared on their faces.

"Alright, we've looked at Truth's gift. Chen Yan, quickly open Taeyeon unnie's gift and take a look, then we'll go see my gift."

"Oh, what do you mean by just taking a look? Why am I so casual about it?"

Their seemingly playful banter instantly lightened the atmosphere.

Chen Yan smiled, picked up the last gift box on the coffee table, and opened it.

Upon removing the packaging, the Cartier logo came into view on the box.

Chen Yan opened the box, paused for a moment after seeing the exquisite watch, and then looked helplessly at Kim Tae-yeon beside him.

"Nuna, I already have a watch."

He gestured to the Casio watch on his left wrist: "This watch was also a gift from you, Nuna."

"Oh dear, your status is different now, you're a star producer at JYP, so naturally your attire needs to change too."

Kim Tae-yeon took the box from Chen Yan's hand and took out the Calibre de Cartier chronograph watch that Cartier had just released in January of this year.

Then she took off the Casio watch from the man's left wrist and put this watch on instead.

She originally wanted to buy her husband Richard Taylor or Hublot, but the new models from those two brands wouldn't be available until after April, so she ended up choosing Cartier.

Looking at her wrist, Kim Tae-yeon nodded in satisfaction: "The stainless steel version looks pretty good too."

This watch is available in two styles: stainless steel and rose gold with diamonds.

She initially wanted to buy the rose gold version for Chen Yan.

But looking at the price of 8400 million won (about 48 RMB), I thought about it and decided against it, finally choosing the more common stainless steel version.

It wasn't that she thought the price was too high and she was reluctant to spend the money, but she felt that it wouldn't be appropriate for Chen Yan to wear that watch to work given his current status, and it might even attract some gossip.

The stainless steel version is more suitable, with a price of just over 1200 million Korean won (about 6 RMB), which is just right for Chen Yan's current status.

Holding the man's hand, Kim Tae-yeon looked at the watch and smiled again: "From now on, you can wear both watches alternately."

"understood."

Seeing the older woman's satisfied expression, Chen Yan smiled and nodded in agreement, without saying anything to spoil the mood.

The two are now inseparable, so there's no need to say more.

Just bear with it. There will be plenty of opportunities to repay this older sister in the future.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Beside her, Lin Yoona glanced at Chen Yan thoughtfully.

But the most important thing right now isn't that; it's the gift she prepared for Chen Yan.

"Alright, now that all the gifts have been opened, it's time to go get the gift I prepared."

Where do we get it?

"Just follow me."

Im Yoon-ah was the first to get up and walk towards the door.

Behind them, Chen Yan and the other two exchanged glances, got up, and followed.

Step out the door and into the elevator.

I saw Lim Yoon-a press the button on the underground parking garage on the first basement level.

The three people beside him raised their eyebrows slightly, and they probably had a guess in their minds.

"Ding"

The elevator doors opened on the basement level, and the four of them stepped out, following Lin Yoona to Chen Yan's parking space.

A black Mercedes sports car was parked in the parking space as usual.

The difference is that the previously empty parking space on the right is now occupied by a white BMW M6 coupe that I haven't seen before.

Upon reaching the car, as Yoona took out the car key from her pocket and pressed it, the headlights turned on and the unlocking sound rang out, making it clear whose car it was.

Turning around, she walked up to Chen Yan, gave him a playful wink, and handed him the car keys.

"Here, this is your birthday present. See if you like it?"

She had the idea of ​​buying Chen Yan a car ever since she was reborn, especially when the man drove the car that Kim Tae-yeon gave him back to her dormitory.

I decided to give the car away on the man's birthday.

She originally wanted to buy the Porsche Cayenne that she used to drive in her previous life, but the 958 model had only recently been launched in the Peninsula area, and the delivery time wouldn't be until May or June.

So after some deliberation, I finally chose this BMW two-door coupe.

Chen Yan glanced at the car keys in his hand, then at the BMW coupe in front of him, and grinned.

She actually gifted herself a car, a sports car at that. That's what the socialite rich girl from Girls' Generation is all about—she just throws around a luxury car.

In a daze, he seemed to smell the long-lost aroma of rice again.

Or perhaps, the aroma of rice has never actually disappeared; it's just that I've gotten used to it and subconsciously ignored it.

Coming to his senses, he subconsciously said, "Isn't it a bit expensive?"

"Ok?"

Before the word "precious" could be finished, Yoona next to her immediately frowned and puffed out her cheeks slightly.

He seemed to be saying, "If you dare utter those two words, I'll bite you."

He readily accepted gifts from Taeyeon unnie, such as cars and watches, but when Taeyeon gave him a car, he tried to refuse. Does this jerk want to die?

Chen Yan quickly changed his tune and smiled, "I really like it. I won't say thank you. I won't stand on ceremony with our Yoona."

"That's pretty much it."

Yoona withdrew her dangerous gaze, crossed her arms, and said with a smile, "You can drive this new car to work tomorrow."

As he spoke, his deer-like eyes glanced at Kim Tae-yeon, and the corners of his mouth turned up a few more times.

The car she chose is even more expensive than this unnie's Mercedes sports car.

Even though I came back late, I couldn't leave out anything that a man should have.

What Taeyeon unnie can give, I can give too.

Noticing Yoona's gaze, Taeyeon pursed her lips, glanced at the BMW, but said nothing.

Anyway, I was the first to give it to him, so the title of "first" belongs to me.

Next to Kim Tae-yeon, Peach was looking at something on her phone.

When the girl saw the price tag of 4.2 million (approximately 230 million RMB) on the BMW coupe in front of her, she couldn't help but secretly pout.

Damn it, my savings aren't enough right now.

She was the one who said she would buy oppa a car first, but Yoona unnie beat her to it.

Sigh, I need to work harder to make money.

Unaware of the thoughts of the three women, Chen Yan looked at the brand-new BMW sports car in front of him, and then at the black Mercedes sports car next to him.

A thought suddenly popped into my head: Will there be Audis, Porsches, Ferraris, and the like in the future?
Back upstairs, Chen Yan put away the gifts on the coffee table, and then the four of them sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while.

The episode ended, and it was past 10 p.m.

This time, Chen Yan doesn't need to make any choices, because all three of them have plans for tomorrow morning. They need to go to the beauty salon for makeup in the early morning and then go back to their dorm to stay.

"I'll take you back."

Kim Tae-yeon shook her head: "No need, I drove here. It's such a short distance, we can go back by ourselves. It'll be more convenient to get back to the dorm this way."

Chen Yan thought about it and agreed. If he were to drive them, the car couldn't enter the residential area, and the three of them would have to get out and walk a bit.

"Alright then, Nuna, drive carefully."

"Don't worry, I'm an experienced driver."

After seeing the three of them to the door and watching them enter the elevator, Chen Yan closed the door.

"Ding"

The elevator doors opened again on the basement level, and Kim Tae-yeon and two others stepped out.

After walking a distance, Peach suddenly touched her pocket as if she wanted to take something, then paused and touched her other pocket.

"Unnie, I think I left my phone at oppa's house."

"Then go back and get it. We'll wait for you in the car."

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Peach turned around and ran into the elevator, taking it back to the 12th floor.

The elevator doors opened, and as soon as I stepped out, I bumped into Chen Yan, who had just come out of his house.

Chen Yan looked at the girl and paused for a moment, then gestured to his phone and smiled, "Did you forget your phone?"

However, the next second, Peach pushed him into the house, saying, "Oh dear, I deliberately left my phone behind. Oppa, you go in first, I have something to tell you."

Chen Yan was a little dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Go back inside.

"Oppa, where's the birthday present I gave you?"

Chen Yan was still a little confused: "It's in the bedside table in the bedroom."

"Hurry up and get it out, oppa."

"okay."

The girl's urging made the man subconsciously quicken his pace and walk into the bedroom, where he took out the box containing the cards.

Back in the living room, Peach already had a pen in her hand. She took the gift box from Chen Yan, opened it, and knelt on the carpet.

Behind him, Chen Yan, who had been looking puzzled, widened his eyes immediately after seeing what the girl did next.

The girl placed the card on the coffee table and then, without hesitation, added a horizontal line above the original character "一".

Then he was about to start writing below, but after just a little stroke, his movements suddenly stopped.

He frowned slightly, thought for two seconds, muttered something, and then continued to draw that horizontal line, followed by a vertical line in the middle and on the right.

The original character “一” was thus transformed into “五”.

The text has also changed to: "Oppa who holds this coupon can make five requests to me (no limit), and I will grant them unconditionally."

After finishing her task, Taozi put away her pen, stood up, and handed the card to Chen Yan with a smile.

"Okay, oppa~ It's fixed."

Chen Yan took the card blankly, glanced at its contents, and then looked at the smiling girl in front of him.

Finally realizing what she'd done, she was both amused and exasperated: "You can't just change this like that, Peach."

"Of course not, it has to be changed by myself. Changes made by others are invalid, even if it's oppa."

Peach wrinkled her nose with a touch of arrogance and made an X in front of her chest.

Just as Chen Yan was about to say something, the girl spoke first: "Okay oppa, I have to go now. The unnies are still waiting for me downstairs. This coupon is still valid."

She took the phone, then leaned in and pressed her lips to Chen Yan's, separating them only after a minute.

The girl turned to leave, but Chen Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Looking at the girl before him, gazing into her bright eyes, Chen Yan stared for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"Peach, whether it's one wish or five requests, I really only have one request."

Peach was taken aback, clearly not expecting her oppa to make such a request so soon: "What is it?"

"It means that you will always be healthy and happy, and stay by my side forever."

Chen Yan gently rubbed the girl's head and said in a tender yet earnest tone.

Peach was taken aback again upon hearing this. She looked at this oppa, and after a few seconds, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and gave the man a light kiss on the lips.

Then he turned and ran away, his cheerful voice carried by the wind into Chen Yan's ears.

"Silly oppa, you don't need to tell me, I will always stay by your side. That doesn't count, I still have five requests."

The door closed.

After gazing quietly in the direction of the main entrance for a moment, Chen Yan smiled.

His gaze then shifted to the card in his hand, looking at the number "five" that had just appeared right before his eyes, recalling what had just happened.

Taozi probably originally intended to write "three", but for some reason, she changed it to "five".

Judging from the way that girl was thinking just now, she must have some basis for her reasoning.

So, what does it actually mean?
