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

Chapter 371 Lee Ji-eun VS Bae Suzy (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!)

When the call was answered, Bae Suzy's pure and perfect smile appeared on the phone screen.

"Ji-eun unnie~"

The girl immediately greeted the scheming older sister sweetly.

"Oh, it's Suzy."

Lee Ji-eun's smile was also incredibly beautiful, and she responded with a beaming smile.

Anyone who didn't know them would definitely think these two had a very good relationship.

"Is there something you need when you video call, Suzy?"

Lee Ji-eun then spoke up, intending to take the initiative into her own hands.

"Oh, it's just that when I was on the phone with oppa just now, I found out that he was giving unnie a lesson. I was thinking that I hadn't talked to you for a few days, so I called to chat with you for a bit."

Bae Suzy narrowed her rabbit eyes slightly.

How could she possibly say that she called to check up on him? Because she was genuinely a little worried.

After all, it's so late now, and Chen Yan oppa and this unnie are alone in a room, especially since the unnie doesn't have pure feelings for oppa, the danger is just too great.

What if this unnie uses studying as an excuse, and ends up in oppa's arms while studying?

"Oh, I see. Okay then."

Lee Ji-eun nodded, feigning surprise, pretending not to have guessed her younger sister's thoughts.

"By the way, unnie, is oppa next to you? Since we're video chatting, I should say hello to oppa too."

Bae Suzy got straight to the point without delay, searching for Chen Yan's figure in the camera's view.

She has to film a scene soon, so she doesn't have time to chat with this older sister.

"Oh, it's right next to me."

Lee Ji-eun smiled and slightly adjusted the angle of her phone to bring Chen Yan into the frame.

Chen Yan had obviously heard their conversation, so when Lee Ji-eun turned around, he looked up at his phone.

Just as he was about to greet Bae Suzy with a smile, Lee Ji-eun suddenly slid her chair and moved to his side.

The distance between the two suddenly shrank infinitely, and Chen Yan immediately smelled the fragrance emanating from the girl.

Lee Ji-eun then naturally took his hand slightly, turned her head and said with a smile, "Oppa, come and say hello to Suzy."

Chen Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He and Li Zhi'en had done similar things more than once or twice, and they were already used to it.

When the two were discussing the variations of the piece, their faces were not far apart.

He chatted with Bae Suzy in front of the camera with a natural smile: "Didn't we just talk on the phone? You don't need to greet me specially."

However, Bae Suzy's smile looked a little stiff in the shot.

Those rabbit-like eyes swept over Lee Ji-eun's hand linked with Chen Yan's, and instantly narrowed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But she quickly regained her natural smile and said meaningfully, "Oh, even if oppa and I are close, we still have to be polite, right? We can't be too casual, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun's smile remained unchanged as she held up her phone.

You said you and oppa are close, but now I can naturally hold oppa's hand and chat with you.

As for saying I'm impolite or too casual...
Hehe~ Oppa and I can be this rude and casual with each other.

So, instead of making Lee Ji-eun uncomfortable, Bae Suzy's subtle rebuttal actually made her happier.

On the other end of the phone, Bae Suzy saw that the unnie's expression did not change at all, and knew that her counterattack had not worked. She secretly puffed out her cheeks, feeling a little annoyed.

Chen Yan, unaware of the two girls' thoughts, chatted with Bae Suzy for a few more minutes before getting up and saying, "I'm going to the restroom first, you two talk." "Okay, sure~"

Both of them smiled and nodded.

Seeing Chen Yan walk out of the recording studio, Lee Ji-eun looked away and turned to meet Bae Suzy's gaze on the other end of the phone.

Although both of them still had smiles on their faces, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed. They just stared at each other, neither of them speaking for a moment.

The recording studio suddenly fell silent.

A few seconds later, Bae Suzy's smile suddenly widened on the other side of the screen, and she broke the silence by speaking first.

"Unnie is really working so hard. She's filming a drama while also working on music. She even called oppa over to solve a problem so late at night. I really admire her."

Lee Ji-eun's smile remained unchanged, but a flicker of light flashed in her almond-shaped eyes before she replied:

"It's alright, Suzy, you've worked very hard too. You have to take care of the group while also filming, and you even have to take care of the drama's OST. You're calling oppa so late to discuss recording the OST."

Ha, you say I bothered oppa to come and solve my problems so late at night, but aren't you the same? You called oppa so late at night and asked him to come to your drama set to record an OST for you.

Bae Suzy naturally understood the unnie's implied meaning, and her slightly narrowed rabbit eyes flickered.

Damn it, we got knocked back again.

Although they were separated by a screen, their gazes seemed to clash like swords clashing in the void.

Strangely enough, one of them was Chen Yan's girlfriend's best friend, and the other was a close colleague at the company. Neither of them had any status or position to be wary of or even warn Chen Yan about the opposite sex appearing around him.

However, Lee Ji-eun considers herself half a girlfriend to be her best friend, and takes the initiative to help Taozi guard against and deal with any threatening members of the opposite sex around Chen Yan.

Bae Suzy, on the other hand, likes Chen Yan, so it's only natural that she's wary and cautious of any threatening women around him.

So, after each of them had found an identity and a position for themselves, this little confrontation inexplicably began.

The two were evenly matched, each fully immersed in the game.

After a few more seconds of eye contact, just as Bae Suzy was about to speak again, her manager's voice suddenly rang out beside her:

"Suzy, get ready, it's almost your turn to act."

"Oh, I got it, unnie."

The girl paused for a moment, a hint of frustration flashing across her face. She turned to respond and then looked at Lee Ji-eun on the other end of the phone, her natural smile returning to her face.

"Well then, unnie, I'm going to film now. Don't stay up too late with your classes, oppa."

Lee Ji-eun smiled with narrowed eyes: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I know oppa's schedule very well."

The implication was clear: oppa and I are so close that we know each other's schedules perfectly, much closer than you were when you called and the first thing you asked was if oppa was resting.

This small, unexpected blow, which came just before the call ended, caused Bae Suzy's smile to freeze visibly, and she almost couldn't hold it in anymore.

He quickly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, said goodbye to Lee Ji-eun, and hung up the phone immediately.

After putting down her phone, Lee Ji-eun immediately broke into a smug smile.

She won, and won decisively and easily.

Hmph, little Bae Suzy is nothing to worry about.

Oh, poor little girl.

You're all alone, but I have Peach, oppa's official girlfriend, providing me with strategic support.

What can you possibly use to fight me?!
