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

Chapter 409 This is treating Jessica Jung like a Japanese person!
While Chen Yan and Li Shungui were heading home, in the other part of Chengnan District...

Jessica Jung was sitting on the sofa in her living room, looking dazed, as if she had entered a state of blankness, lost in thought.

"Didi"

After a series of password input sounds, the door opened.

A few seconds later, Krystal Jung's tall figure appeared at the entrance.

Upon seeing Jessica Jung sitting on the sofa in a daze, he frowned slightly in confusion and walked over.

"Jessica, it's so late, why aren't you going back to your room to rest? What are you doing standing here in a daze?"

Hearing the sound, Jessica Jung came to her senses.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just sitting here spacing out for a while."

She can't let Xiujing know about her relationship with Chen Yan yet; she hasn't figured out how to tell her.

"Oh."

She casually agreed, then sat down next to her unnie and popped a grape from the fruit plate into her mouth.

Putting aside what she had been thinking, Jessica Jung looked at her younger sister, whom she hadn't seen for a while because she was preparing for her new album.

"You seem to have lost a little weight, Soojung."

The fat on her cheeks had noticeably decreased.

"With daily body management and dance training, you're bound to lose weight."

After eating two grapes in a row, Krystal clapped her hands and didn't reach for a third one; two were enough to satisfy her craving.

"Oh, just be careful in your daily life. Keep some candy in your pocket or something, so you don't get low blood sugar."

"Yeah. I know."

Jessica smiled gently, reached out and patted her younger sister's head, and then the two sat on the sofa and chatted.

As they chatted, Krystal, seemingly struck by a sudden thought, glanced at her unnie, pursed her lips, and asked:
"Unnie, a couple of days ago on Children's Day, Sulli came over with a small box full of snacks, saying it was a Children's Day gift from Chen Yan. Did Taeyeon unnie and Yoona unnie receive some too?"

Jessica Jung paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, I received it."

Upon receiving the answer, Krystal Jung felt a surge of emotions.

But the thought of Jessica Jung standing right next to her immediately calmed her turbulent emotions, preventing her expression from showing any abnormality, and she said in a seemingly casual tone:
"Chen Yan really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve; he even came up with a Children's Day gift."

"Yes, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

Jessica Jung replied, then suddenly pouted, as if she had thought of something.

She remembered the Children's Day gift Chen Yan had given her a couple of days ago.

The man was true to his word; he said he would send her a replacement, and it arrived within two days.

However, instead of the snacks given to Kim Tae-yeon and the other two, they sent a gift box containing a Barbie princess doll.

Yes, it's the Barbie doll that girls used to play dress-up games with when they were little.

Jessica Jung was stunned for a moment when she saw it.

Chen Yan immediately smiled and said, "Nuna, I think this gift suits you very well; you're both beautiful princesses."

With that in mind, Jessica Jung happily accepted this special Children's Day gift.

It wasn't the kind of snacks given to Taeyeon and the others; those were exclusively for her.

She couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Hmph, as expected, the relationship is different now, this man won't mistreat me.

She carefully placed the gift at the very back of her bedroom wardrobe, so that it wouldn't be seen unless the wardrobe was turned upside down.

Krystal Jung wouldn't be so bored as to rummage through her wardrobe, so it's still quite safe.

Pulling her thoughts back, the image in her mind finally settled on Chen Yan's gentle smile, and Jessica Jung couldn't help but inwardly spit out her drink.

Hmph, if you want to compliment me on my looks, just say so. Why do you have to use the excuse of giving me a gift?

Her lips instinctively wanted to curl into a smile, but after glancing at Krystal Jung to the side, she quickly suppressed it.

Krystal is still right next to us; we can't let her notice anything amiss.

"Pah, you scumbag! You've got so many tricks up your sleeve."

At this moment, Krystal suddenly pouted and cursed, her anger and resentment genuine and heartfelt.

It's so annoying! Why does this jerk always do things that provoke her emotions?

Remembering Shirley's bright smile as she walked into the practice room that morning carrying her little box, and the slightly boastful tone she used when showing them the gifts later, the girl felt a surge of irritation.

"That scumbag! He only knows how to play tricks. I don't know why Taeyeon and the others are so stupid. They can't even see through these tricks and fall into them one after another."

Why do they all want to take the role of this idiot from me when I could have been the only one to play it?

Beside her, Jessica Jung's lips twitched involuntarily.

Who are you calling an idiot?

However, seeing her younger sister's angry expression, she was also somewhat glad that she hadn't directly revealed her relationship with Chen Yan.

If this were said out loud, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause? Let's find a more suitable opportunity later.

"Alright, they're silly, but you're not. It's getting late, go to sleep."

Jessica Jung ended the chat with a single sentence.

If we keep talking, who knows how my younger sister might subtly insult me?

But she can't have an attack, that would be so painful.

Krystal Jung pouted upon hearing this.

She actually really wanted to play the fool, but unfortunately she isn't, which is why she hasn't joined the game yet.

"Let's go, go to sleep."

Jessica Jung stood up first and reached out to pull Krystal Jung along.

"Okay, goodnight unnie."

"OK, good night."

They said goodnight to each other and went back to their respective rooms.

After closing the door, Krystal Jung stood silently in the doorway for a moment before letting out a final sigh.

He turned around, walked to the bedside, lay back, and slammed himself onto the bed.

Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, a series of images flashing through her mind.

There was Chen Yan's tenderness towards Shirley, the happy smiles on their faces when they were together, the birthday dinner he made for Shirley, and the Children's Day gift.

She actually wanted all of these things, but her desire was firmly suppressed by her reason.

From the moment she became aware of romantic relationships, her goal was to have a unique relationship that belonged only to her.

Even this rationality wavered briefly after learning that Taeyeon unnie and Sulli were also living happily.

But with Yoona joining the group, the uncertainty about the future has made that rationality solidify once again.

Even though her rationality wavered occasionally under the impact of her growing affection for Chen Yan, it only wavered slightly a few times.

But this feeling of wanting something so badly, yet being unable to have it, is really painful.

With another long sigh, Krystal Jung took out her phone from her pocket and unlocked it. She found the audio file titled "Baby Don't Cry" and pursed her lips.

It seems like all I have is this one song.

She sighed heavily in frustration, turned off her phone, and got out of bed.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Take a shower and sleep!
In the room on the other side.

Jessica Jung smiled and said goodnight to Chen Yan on her phone before putting it down.

A moment later, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he frowned with some distress.

The question I had been pondering before Krystal Jung returned has resurfaced in my mind.

How can I tell Taeyeon and Yoona about my relationship with Chen Yan? I can't find the right time.

She definitely had to tell him, otherwise, if she and Chen Yan had to do things secretly, wouldn't that inexplicably turn into cheating?

This was something she couldn't accept; she and Chen Yan didn't have any shady relationship.

Especially when she thought of Yoona's bright smile when she walked out of the practice room the other night, Jessica Jung couldn't help but pout again.

Even a fool could guess where she was going.

Thinking of that night, the man's strong body, his eight-pack abs, and the sense of security I felt sleeping in his arms.

She also wants to eat meat. Although it's easy to get full, it tastes really good, and she's only eaten it once before.

No!

Jessica Jung pursed her lips.

I need to find a time to be honest with them as soon as possible.

This feeling of having tasted it and being qualified to continue eating it, but being unable to, is incredibly painful.

And so, Jessica Jung fell into thought once again.

Unbeknownst to her, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah had already prepared methods to "punish" her.

So the next morning, a dance practice session ended.

When Jessica Jung picked up her water glass and took a sip, her cool and beautiful face suddenly scrunched up in a frown.

A strong smell of bitter melon assaulted her senses, almost causing her to ejaculate uncontrollably.

Just then, a fawn appeared beside her and, seeing her expression, immediately asked with "concern":

"What's wrong, Jessica unnie?"

Jessica Jung didn't say a word. After putting down her water glass, she covered her mouth and rushed out of the practice room.

The rest of the people left in the practice room looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Yoona picked up the water glass that Jessica Jung had placed on the ground at the right moment, glanced at it, paused slightly, then brought it close to the rim and smelled it, her doe eyes widening slightly.

"Oh no, how did Jessica take my bitter melon juice and drink it?"

A few minutes later, Jessica Jung, her face covered in fine water droplets, strode in with a cold expression.

Yoona quickly picked up the water glass and explained, "Jessica unnie, you seem to have picked up the wrong glass. This glass contains my homemade bitter melon juice. I've been feeling a bit feverish these past few days, so I was thinking of making some bitter melon juice to drink."

She pointed to the identical water glass on the ground next to her: "This is your water glass, Unnie."

Jessica Jung frowned slightly and looked at the two identical water cups in Yoona's hand and on the ground.

"Yoona, when did you get a water bottle that's the same as mine?"

"Just yesterday, a few days ago I told you I thought your water bottle was pretty, and after asking where you bought it, I went and bought one too."

Jessica Jung paused for a moment, and a memory immediately surfaced in her mind.

That's true. Yoona asked her about it a few days ago, and she answered.

But soon, she frowned again.

"But I remember that's where I put my water glass."

Beside her, Kim Tae-yeon timely raised her hand, scratched her cheek, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"It seems like it's my fault. I finished my water and thought I'd take some of Yoona's water. I didn't think much of it after I drank it and just put it down wherever I wanted. I didn't realize it was Jessica's water. I'm so sorry, Jessica."

Seeing the innocent and embarrassed expressions on their faces, and considering that she herself felt a little guilty in front of them, what could Jessica Jung do?

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

The show ended abruptly after it had just begun, leaving the others who had hoped to watch the spectacle feeling disappointed, and they went off to rest.

Lee Soon-kyu almost burst out laughing when she saw Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah exchanging a secret glance.

These two are treating Jessica Jung like she's Japanese, messing with her.

The next day, a similar scene played out again in the practice room, with Jessica Jung covering her mouth and rushing out of the practice room once more.

Lin Xiaolu, a kind-hearted citizen, picked up the water glass again and smelled it.

"Oh no, Jessica unnie drank the wrong thing again. She drank my pumpkin juice!"

However, the others weren't fools either; they had already found the best viewing spots and were waiting to see the big battle after Jessica Jung returned.

A few minutes later, Jessica Jung stormed in and charged straight at Yoona.

"Hey, Yoona, you're dead meat."

She wasn't stupid; how could such a coincidence happen twice in a row? Even if Kim Tae-yeon vouched for her, she wouldn't believe it.

"Unnie, it wasn't me, it was..."

Yoona tried to argue, but Jessica Jung didn't care and immediately suppressed her.

"Unnie, it really wasn't me."

Yoona, who was pinned to the floor, struggled a few times before suddenly stopping and staring straight at Jessica Jung's forehead.

"Hey, unnie, your hairline seems a bit high?"

Jessica Jung was taken aback.

Taking advantage of the break, Lim Yoona turned her head to look at Kim Tae-yeon, who was not far away.

"Taeyeon unnie, does Chen Yan dislike girls with high hairlines?"

The question was so abrupt that it left everyone present, except for Lee Soon-kyu, momentarily stunned.

Kim Tae-yeon nodded naturally and immediately replied, "Yes, Xiao Yan did say that."

He does not mean that.

A hint of panic flashed in Jessica Jung's eyes, and she instinctively covered her forehead and retreated.

Meanwhile, on the other side, not far from the Girls' Generation practice room, inside the f(x) practice room.

Just as Krystal Jung finished her dance practice and was sitting on the ground drinking water, she suddenly felt a chill on her forehead and her body trembled slightly.

She looked down at her water glass and frowned slightly.

"Strange, I didn't drink ice water."
