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

Chapter 415 That Drunken Night

On the other side, in a residential area in Cheongdam-dong.

"Ding"

The elevator doors slowly opened on the basement level, and Chen Yan stepped out, walking towards his parking space.

"Adu"

The phone I was holding suddenly beeped.

He picked up his phone, paused for a moment after seeing who sent the message and what it said, and then laughed.

What does it mean when Lin Xiaolu sends a "1"?

After opening the car door and getting in, Chen Yan thought for a moment and replied to the message: Something's up?

The message has been sent but remains unread.

Seeing this, Chen Yan murmured, "It seems there really is something going on."

However, he wasn't too worried. Although Girls' Generation had nine members, three of them were already his.

With 4v6, the disadvantage isn't too great. Plus, with the help of these three insiders, even if they can't turn the tables, they should be able to protect themselves.

I'll go over there later and see if I can get a chance to meet up with Yoona and the others to get more information.

With an amused smile on his face, Chen Yan put down his phone, started the car, drove out of the underground parking garage, and headed towards his childhood dormitory.

In the dorm room, after quickly sending a message to Chen Yan while checking the time, Lin Yoona gave Kim Tae-yeon a look.

Kim Tae-yeon blinked her eyes to indicate that she had received the message.

Lee Soon-kyu had finished speaking, and as she stood up with her water glass, she said:
"I'm going to get some water. You guys better check the dorm again. I reckon Xiaoyan is on his way. I hope he doesn't see anything embarrassing."

The others were slightly taken aback, then quickly got up to check.

Only Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, and Jessica Jung remained, sitting leisurely on the sofa, watching the others make a ruckus.

Chen Yan had seen every inch of their bodies, not to mention their possessions, so there was nothing to panic about.

Just then, Lee Soon-kyu, who had only taken a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the three people on the sofa, then turned back and sat down on the sofa again.

Jessica Jung was taken aback: "Didn't you say you were going to get some water? Why did you sit down again?"

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and said, "Oh, I'm too lazy to go. I'll just have some drinks when we eat later. It'll be quick anyway."

The excuse was so lame that Kim Tae-yeon and the other two weren't stupid; they all looked at her speechlessly.

It's just that they're afraid they'll tip off Chen Yan.

"jingle"

A few minutes later, a doorbell rang.

"Xiaoxian, go open the door."

"Oh."

Seohyun glanced at the video call, then quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing Chen Yan at the door, she smiled and greeted him, "Good evening, oppa."

Good evening, Xiaoxian.

"Oppa, come in."

"it is good."

Seohyun bent down slightly and took out a pair of large slippers from the shoe cabinet: "Oppa, wear these. I just bought them a couple of days ago."

"it is good."

Chen Yan responded, his gaze quickly shifting from the girl's fair chest, which was exposed by her bending over.

This youngest member is not to be underestimated; she's almost on par with Jessica Jung.

After changing into slippers, Chen Yan followed Xu Xian into the house, glancing around curiously.

This was his first time visiting a girl group's dorm, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious.

However, he didn't look closely, his gaze was drawn to several figures constantly going in and out of the restaurant's kitchen.

Kwon Yuri and others were carrying plates of very appealing dishes out of the kitchen and placing them on the dining table.

Upon seeing Chen Yan, they all greeted him warmly.

Chen Yan responded to each question with a smile.

Just then, a voice rang in his ear: "Stop looking, these are all takeout orders they placed, not homemade."

Turning his head, he saw Jessica Jung walking up to him with a bright smile on her face.

But as her smile brightened, the previously smiling expressions of Kwon Yuri and the others on the other side instantly froze, and they all angrily voiced their condemnation.

"Hey, Jessica Jung, why are you ruining things for no reason?"

"Exactly, can't we at least pretend?"

“hin~”

Jessica Jung snorted and reached out to hug Chen Yan's arm: "Do you think I don't know what level you guys are at? What's the point of pretending? You've just gained an extra job washing dishes for nothing."

Chen Yan wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

Let's give these older sisters some face in the end.

He glanced around and then changed the subject, asking, "Where are Taeyeon noona, Yoona, and Soonkyu noona?"

"Taeyeon and Sunny just went to pick up the cake their manager brought over, and Yoona is in the restroom."

Cui Xiuying replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door opened, and Lim Yoona walked out.

Upon seeing Chen Yan, she immediately flashed a sweet smile.

"Here he comes."

"Ah."

Chen Yan responded, but noticed the inexplicable meaning contained in those deer-like eyes, and felt a little more aware of the situation.

Just then, the sound of a combination lock being opened came from the front gate, and he turned around to look.

Kim Tae-yeon and Lee Soon-kyu walked in carrying cakes, and greeted Chen Yan with smiles when they saw him.

"Xiaoyan~"

"You're here, Xiaoyan."

"Yes, happy birthday, Sunny. This is my birthday present for you."

Chen Yan smiled and handed over the wine he was carrying.

Lee Soon-kyu's beautiful eyes lit up immediately. She handed the cake to Kim Tae-yeon and then took the wine.

Looking at the exquisite porcelain bottle and the blue and white patterns on it, my eyes lit up even more.

"Wow, this is so exquisite! What kind of wine is this?"

"It's a type of Fenjiu from Shanxi Province, called Qinghua Fenjiu. Like the Maotai you gave me last time, it's a type of baijiu, but this one has a smoother and more refreshing taste."

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and squinted: "Thank you, Xiaoyan. Perfect, let's drink this with dinner later."

Chen Yan was taken aback: "No, this wine has a similar alcohol content to the Maotai from last time, so it's easy to get drunk."

Lee Soon-kyu waved her hand and said, "It's okay. There are ten people tonight. Everyone can drink a little and won't get drunk."

After saying that, she happily carried the wine to the restaurant.

Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes at Chen Yan as she passed by.

They were planning to offer you a drink so they could get information out of you during the game later, and you just walked right into their trap.

Chen Yan blinked, somewhat confused.

Just as Jessica Jung leaned over to whisper an explanation, Lee Soon-kyu's voice came from the other side.

"Xiao Yan, come and eat."

Lee Soon-kyu looked at the two of them with a smile.

Trying to coordinate your statements? No way.

"okay."

The ten people then sat down at the table one by one. The birthday celebrant, Lee Soon-kyu, sat in the main seat in the middle, Chen Yan sat in the first seat on the left, and next to him were Choi Soo-young and Kwon Yuri.

Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, and Jessica Jung were all intentionally or unintentionally pushed to the opposite side.

Seeing this display of force, Chen Yan felt a growing sense of unease.

Moreover, he felt that the way those kids were looking at him was a little strange.

His eyes instinctively glanced at Yoona across from him, but the next second, his view was blocked by a hand.

Choi Sooyoung patted his shoulder with her other hand, teasingly saying, "Xiaoyan, why are you looking at Yoona? Do you want Yoona to come sit next to you?"

Then, she changed the subject again: "But that doesn't seem right either. If anyone should come over, it should be Taeyeon."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan knew perfectly well that they already knew about their affair.

He gave an awkward smile and remained silent.

Seeing this, the others all wore mocking smiles.

"I never expected you to be such a scumbag, Xiao Yan."

Across from her, Tiffany, sitting next to Kim Tae-yeon, smiled and then suddenly pouted and muttered:

"Why don't you guys scumbag me? I'm not much worse than Taeyeon and the others."

His words stunned everyone present.

"Ah!" Kim Tae-yeon, who was sitting next to her, reacted and immediately roared as she pounced on Tiffany.

"Ah~ Taigu, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was just kidding."

However, just as their battle began, Choi Soo-young's voice rang out again.

"Xiao Yan, why don't you ever cheat on me? I'm not bad either."

These words shocked everyone present, and they all stared wide-eyed at Choi Soo-young.

Even Kim Tae-yeon and Tiffany, who were playfully fighting, stopped what they were doing and stared blankly in their direction.

Are there any experts? !
Chen Yan's lips twitched a few times, unsure of what expression to make.

I don't have the spirit of the Jian'an era, sister.

Having received the reaction she wanted, Choi Soo-young laughed and said, "I was just kidding, you actually believed me?"

The atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed.

Lee Soon-kyu spoke up at the right moment: "Alright, let's eat. We can all try the wine that Xiaoyan gave me."

As she spoke, she secretly gave the others a look, and Cui Xiuying and the others immediately nodded in agreement, picking up their wine glasses.

Li Shungui opened the wine Chen Yan had given her and poured a glass for everyone.

Seeing that the older woman was about to pour some for Kim Tae-yeon, Chen Yan quickly spoke up:
"Noona, Taeyeon noona can't drink this, it's easy to get drunk."

Kim Tae-yeon is the kind of person who can get drunk after drinking three cups of soju, and you're giving her baijiu?

Lee Soon-kyu paused in pouring the wine, her beautiful eyes darting around before she straightened the bottle.

"Okay, Taeyeon really can't drink this, so we won't let her drink it, but..."

She paused, then looked at Chen Yan with a smile in her eyes: "Since Taeyeon can't drink, then her drink will be on your tab, Xiao Yan. Is that alright?"

Chen Yan chuckled and nodded: "Okay, I'll drink it for Nuna."

It's just a glass of wine, nothing serious.

Lee Soon-kyu nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked to Im Yoon-ah's side. He leaned down slightly, but didn't rush to pour the wine. Instead, he looked at Chen Yan with a smile in his eyes.

"Xiaoyan, I'm going to pour some wine for Yoona now."

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled wryly.

Is this an attempt to create a chaotic situation for oneself?

"I understand, noona. I'll drink Yoona's cup for her too."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded in satisfaction again, then walked up to Jessica Jung and repeated the scene from before.

"Three cups, plus one from Sikanuna."

Having achieved his goal, Lee Soon-kyu smiled with narrowed eyes and turned to return to his seat.

But the next second, Yoona and Jessica each reached out a hand and grabbed her.

Yoona pouted: "Unnie, Chen Yan's agreement doesn't count. I didn't agree to let him drink it for me."

Beside her, Jessica Jung also slightly raised her chin: "That's right, I didn't agree to it. I'll drink this myself."

Except for Kim Tae-yeon, who really can't drink it, the other two can.

The reason I didn't speak up just now was simply to see Chen Yan's attitude.

Now that they see him agreeing without hesitation and getting the attitude they wanted, it's their turn to feel sorry for their man.

This isn't shochu, it's baijiu (Chinese liquor). The two cups are very different.

Im Yoona first took the bottle from Lee Soon-kyu and filled her own glass, then Jessica Jung took it from her.

"Oh~"

Upon seeing this, the others immediately started making cryptic jeers.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Lee Soon-kyu, satisfied, finally came to Chen Yan's side and poured him a glass of wine.

"Including Taeyeon's cup, that makes two cups, Xiaoyan."

"Understood, Nuna."

Chen Yan lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the full glass of white wine in front of him. A glint flashed in his eyes.

This older sister's intentions are quite clear; she's obviously targeting me.

I just don't know what they're planning to do next.

but
I don't necessarily need to know this myself.

As long as they can't take the next step, that's fine.

There's no need to follow their pace step by step; just let them follow their own pace.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked up at Li Shungui.

"Nuna, it's not good to drink too much tonight. What will you do about your plans tomorrow?"

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Don't worry, there will only be regular practice tomorrow. Taeyeon and Yoona, who have schedules, will practice in the afternoon."

If that weren't the case, she wouldn't have started drinking right away.

"Oh."

Chen Yan nodded knowingly and smiled slightly: "That's good."

"Let's eat and drink!"

Lee Soon-kyu didn't go all out from the start; there's still plenty of time, so he'll take it one step at a time.

However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected.

After eating for a while, Chen Yan suddenly started to offer toasts to other people.

Then, with his inexplicably reasonable arguments for persuading others to drink, no one would refuse to give him face.

And just like that, a bottle of Qinghua Fenjiu was quickly finished.

Although Chen Yan stopped eating halfway through due to Kim Tae-yeon's intervention, everyone continued eating.

But soon, Cui Xiuying and the others got drunk and ended up targeting their target for the night, Chen Yan.

Then soju was served, and the number of bottles on the table gradually increased, and the situation spiraled out of control, even drawing Lee Soon-kyu into the fray.

The restaurant suddenly erupted into chaos as the group, after getting quite drunk, not only started drinking with Chen Yan but also with the others.

In the end, even Kim Tae-yeon couldn't resist starting to drink it.

Seeing this, Chen Yan, whose mind was still relatively clear, smiled to himself.

That would leave no further steps.

He was trying to leave quickly, but just as he picked up his chopsticks to eat some food, a small hand suddenly grabbed his arm.

Looking up, he saw Lee Soon-kyu smiling at him.

"Well, Xiaoyan, you've steered the conversation off track. Did you receive a message from some traitor?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the three people, including Kim Tae-yeon, on the other side.

Chen Yan blinked: "What do you mean? Nuna?"

Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Lee Soon-kyu stopped talking and picked up a bottle of soju, placing it heavily in front of him.

"Drink with me."

She added as a supplementary comment: "It's my birthday today, you can't refuse me."

Chen Yan chuckled.

"Okay, I'll drink nuna with you."

Since they've already said that, he certainly can't back down.

At worst, I'll just sleep on the floor for one night. These guys probably won't throw me out.

"Humph, that's pretty much it."

Lee Soon-kyu grunted twice, reached out and picked up the bottle of soju. With a series of smooth, flowing movements, he twisted the bottle cap open with a "pop," leaving Chen Yan somewhat astonished.

"Here, cheers."

"cheers."

The two wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

The liquid in the glasses swayed slightly with their movements, shimmering under the ceiling lights of the restaurant, causing Chen Yan to squint unconsciously.

So much so that when he squinted at the unfamiliar ceiling the next morning, he still felt the light was a bit dazzling.

After a moment of dizziness, a headache struck.

He instinctively reached out to press his temple, but found that he suddenly felt a soft sensation on his right hand.

It was soft, smooth, and felt warm. Just as I was about to move my hands, I felt a layer of barrier, like clothing.

The next second, a somewhat familiar humming sound rang in my ears.

Chen Yan stared blankly down at the ground.

In his arms, a petite figure was pressed against his chest, her arms wrapped around his waist, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she occasionally hummed softly.

Looking further down, his right forearm seemed to have been chilled, and somehow it had disappeared into the figure's clothes.

Staring blankly at this scene, Chen Yan remained in a daze for a long time.

At this moment, as if sensing the gaze that had lingered on him for so long, the figure's eyelids trembled a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
