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

Chapter 377 Zheng Xika is in trouble.
"Mo?"

The others were drawn over by the loud voice, and Kwon Yuri and Choi Sooyoung, who were sitting on either side of Tiffany, immediately went over.

"Really, it's the fifth most popular trending topic on Naver."

Looking at the fifth trending topic on Naver on Tiffany's phone screen, "[Bae Suzy's words]", Kwon Yuri curiously reached out and clicked on it.

"It was Suzy who posted a photo with Xiaoyan."

Beside them, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah had already picked up their phones after hearing Tiffany's words, their eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Wasn't this man supposed to be recording an OST for Bae Suzy's drama? How come recording a song is trending on social media again?

Clicking on the entry, the first thing you see is a post from Bae Suzy's personal account from half an hour ago.

She posted a nine-grid photo, which included a picture of Bae Suzy standing in the recording studio, a side profile of Chen Yan, and a photo of the two of them together.

The photo was accompanied by the caption: "I collaborated with our company's star producer oppa @陈言yan today! We recorded the OST for my starring drama 'Gu Family Book,' a song written by oppa and sung by me. It will be released at the beginning of next month, so please look forward to 'Gu Family Book'!"
P.S.: Our Chen PDnim is also very handsome when he's working.

The copy clearly had the nature of promoting the drama, but Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah both pouted after seeing the last sentence about Photoshop.

Pah! What do you mean, "your Chen PDnim"? If you're just promoting the drama, why are you mixing in your own personal agenda?

They opened the nine photos again, zoomed in and examined them carefully. After confirming that there were no problems, their displeasure subsided a little.

Moreover, although Bae Suzy is smiling brightly in the photo, they can immediately tell that her husband's smile has a lot of a business-like quality to it.

Bae Suzy did want to post those photos of her gently holding Chen Yan's hand, but her drama "Gu Family Book" with Lee Seung-gi is currently airing, and posting them would definitely have an impact.

So after thinking it over rationally, the girl finally gave up the idea of ​​posting those photos.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah then opened Chen Yan's homepage.

The man did indeed repost Bae Suzy's post about half an hour ago.

[I recorded an OST with Suzy! I composed this OST myself, and it will be released at the beginning of next month. I hope everyone will support it then, and don't forget to watch the amazing drama "Gu Family Book"!]

It smells like pure promotional copywriting, leaving no room for imagination.

The two hummed twice, exchanged a glance, and nodded, clearly satisfied with the man's performance.

Not bad, you know how to avoid suspicion. I won't hold it against you for trending on social media with Bae Suzy this time.

They also checked the comments section, which was mostly filled with Bae Suzy's fans saying they would support the drama and praising the two actors' looks. Only a few CP fans were making random pronouncements.

While the two of them calmed down, Jessica Jung, standing to the side, began to feel inexplicably annoyed.

Holding her phone, looking at the photo of someone and Bae Suzy on the screen, she frowned slightly and gritted her teeth.

That scumbag guy went to see Bae Suzy again, and it's even trending on social media.

You really don't know how to restrain yourself at all. You already have Taeyeon, Yoona, and Sulli, yet you still go and provoke Bae Suzy.

As for the real business of recording the OST mentioned in the copy,
She couldn't see anything; all she saw was an intimate photo of a scumbag and a beautiful woman, and the scumbag was smiling happily.

Looking at Chen Yan's smiling face in the photo, Jessica Jung pouted slightly, wishing she could poke this scumbag to death with one finger.

You laugh so happily when you're with other women, but I never see you laugh this happily when you're with me.

We even took a group photo together; you and I have never taken a group photo together before.

As she thought about it, a strange pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

Just then, Tiffany's loud voice rang out again: "Jessica, what are we going to eat for your birthday night? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Everyone put down their phones and shifted their focus back to Jessica Jung's birthday.

The trending topic about Chen Yan is obviously just for drama promotion; there's nothing worth discussing.

Jessica Jung snapped out of her reverie and pursed her lips slightly: "I'm fine with anything. I'll just order some takeout and eat in the dorm. It's definitely not convenient to go out."

After replying, she ignored the other people's discussion and looked down at Bae Suzy's post.

Looking at Chen Yan's smiling face in the photo, I couldn't help but pout my lips again.

You scumbag, my birthday is coming up soon, did you know? You probably don't.

She hesitated a bit when Lee Soon-kyu said she wanted to invite Chen Yan to her birthday party.

But now, she inexplicably wants to invite Chen Yan to participate.

Once the thought arises, it can't be shaken off.

Jessica Jung glanced up and secretly looked at Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, who were chatting with others, and pursed her lips slightly.

It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with calling them over. After all, she now knows about the relationship between the three of them. All she has to do is make sure that the two of them don't notice anything unusual about her and Chen Yan.

Besides, it was Li Shungui who first suggested calling Chen Yan, not her.

Besides, this scumbag can go out and fool around with Bae Suzy, so why can't he come and celebrate her birthday?

In what ways is she inferior to Bae Suzy?

With that thought, Jessica Jung's slight hesitation completely disappeared. She picked up her phone, opened Kakao, and was about to send a message to Chen Yan.

But just as his finger was about to land on Chen Yan's portrait, it suddenly paused.

Would it seem too forward to just show up like this?

Especially considering their past friendship, it's surprising that Chen Yan is suddenly invited to her birthday party.
How come it seems like she wants to rekindle her relationship with Chen Yan?

She didn't mean that at all; she just wanted that man to come to her birthday party.

No, I need to find a reasonable reason. I can't let that scumbag misunderstand.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Jessica Jung's eyes suddenly lit up.

Click on Chen Yan's profile picture, tap the screen lightly, edit the text, check it again, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he click send.

"Adu"

A message notification suddenly went off. Chen Yan, who had just taken his pajamas out of the closet to take a shower, heard the sound, reached for his phone on the bed, and looked at it.

Sikanuna: My birthday is on the 18th, remember to prepare a birthday present for me.

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback.

This is the first time he's ever heard someone ask for a birthday present so bluntly.

It seemed that the sender of the message had also realized the problem, because a new message popped up in the chat box at that moment.

Jessica: I'm afraid the members will misunderstand that we don't get along, so you have to give me a birthday present so they won't misunderstand.

Oh, I see.

Chen Yan smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and then replied to the message: Nuna, I know your birthday is coming soon. Even if you don't say anything, I will still prepare a birthday present for you.

He did have this idea when we were in JYP's recording studio.

Upon seeing the reply in the practice room, Jessica Jung's toes, which had been slightly curled up due to nervousness, immediately relaxed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

That scumbag actually remembered my birthday.

Just as I was feeling happy, a new message popped up on my phone screen.

Deadbeat boyfriend: And noona, our relationship isn't bad, is it?

Pah! Who says we're on good terms?

Jessica Jung thought to herself, but her lips curled up in a smile that contradicted her words.

She gave a slightly arrogant hum, wrinkled her nose, tapped the screen lightly, and replied with only one word: "Mm."

Deadbeat boyfriend: Okay, I'll prepare your birthday present, noona. If there's nothing else, I'm going to take a shower now.

Upon seeing the message, Jessica Jung, on the other end of the phone, couldn't maintain her aloof demeanor and quickly typed and sent a message back.

Jessica Jung: Wait a minute, the members said they're going to have a birthday party to celebrate, why don't you come too?

Deadbeat boyfriend: Okay, I got it. Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to take a shower.

Jessica Jung: That's all, you can go now.

Dead scumbag: OK
Her toes, clad in white socks, twitched a few times. Jessica Jung then looked at the messages she and Chen Yan had exchanged.

Hmph, this is so simple, anyone can do it. It didn't make Chen Yan misunderstand anything, and it also achieved the goal of getting him to attend my birthday party.

She glanced around and, seeing everyone chatting, suppressed her smile and raised her voice slightly, saying, "Um..."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone else looked at her.

Zheng Xiu pretended to be casual and said, "I just told Xiao Yan about the birthday party, and he said he would come."

"Yeah."

"If Xiaoyan comes too, could you ask him to cook some dishes for us? I haven't tried Xiaoyan's cooking yet."

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't tried it either. Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Yoona, and Seohyun are the only ones here who have eaten Xiaoyan's cooking."

"Oh no, there are so many people here. Sooyoung and Yuri, are you trying to exhaust Xiaoyan? Absolutely not. Just order takeout."

"Aigoo, I know, I know, Taeyeon, you feel sorry for your man, okay? I won't eat anymore."

The others had no objections when they heard that Chen Yan was coming; instead, they all started thinking about Chen Yan's cooking skills, but Kim Tae-yeon stopped them in time.

She even turned and smiled at Jessica Jung.

I know Jessica Jung hates scumbags, but it would be best not to make the relationship so strained, since there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.

Now that Jessica Jung has taken the initiative to invite Xiaoyan, it proves that she doesn't want to make the relationship too awkward.

Faced with Kim Tae-yeon's smiling face, Jessica Jung felt inexplicably guilty. She quickly returned the smile and then avoided her gaze, looking down as if to look at her phone.

Lee Soon-kyu, who had been watching everything unfold, secretly shook his head.

Jessica Jung isn't any better. She's so weak in front of Taeyeon. If she were to marry into the family, she'd probably just be a submissive one.

Moreover, she had been secretly observing Jessica Jung the whole time, and she had seen all the expressions on Jessica's face while she was looking at her phone.

This girl is clearly head over heels in love, and she doesn't even realize it.

Love is truly a terrifying thing. I'm so glad I don't fall in love; it would be too dreadful.

Looking at Jessica Jung's aloof profile, Lee Soon-kyu pondered for a moment.

It seems I need to find a suitable time to confront Zheng Xika directly, otherwise, if I continue down this path, it will ultimately lead to ruin.

More than two hours later, in Chen Yan's bedroom.

After saying goodnight to Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, and Peach, Chen Yan put down his phone, lay on his bed, stared at the ceiling, and couldn't help but think of Jessica Jung again.

Since their last meeting at the coffee shop, he and that woman hadn't had much interaction.

It's not available offline or on mobile.

Although she had dinner with Girls' Generation and f(x) a few days ago, the two of them didn't talk much at that time.

When I go to her birthday party, we'll definitely have to have some conversation.

Furthermore, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah also told him that the older sister knew about what happened between them and got angry.

However, judging from the fact that she invited him to her birthday party, Jessica Jung probably wouldn't immediately pull out a knife and attack him upon seeing him.

After a while of random thoughts, Chen Yan could no longer resist the drowsiness that was washing over him, and he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

After my consciousness floated in the darkness for a while, familiar light suddenly reappeared all around me.

When he regained consciousness, what he saw was a news report.
