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

Chapter 426 This unnie really came at the worst possible time!
The following morning, the warm sunshine once again bathed every corner of Seoul.

Pedestrians hurry to and fro on the streets of Seoul, glancing at their watches every now and then to see if they'll be late for work this morning.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Seoul, Chen Yan stared at the pale little foot in front of him with an ice pack on its ankle and fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, my gaze slowly moved up from that little foot and met those bright, rabbit eyes.

"You mean this is the life-saving thing you were talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy immediately pouted and glared at her oppa.

"Of course not, oppa. I called you yesterday. I can't predict the future, how could I possibly know in advance that I would sprain my ankle while filming this morning?"

You can't predict the future, but I can.

Thinking to himself, Chen Yan looked at the girl in ancient costume in front of him and asked, "Then what is this 'saving me' you're talking about?"

This girl suddenly called him yesterday afternoon, and the moment she answered the phone, she shouted for help.

He immediately asked what had happened, but Bae Suzy said it wasn't now, and that he should come to the set the next morning to find her, and they would discuss the details when they met.

Chen Yan's lips twitched at the nonsensical remarks, recalling a certain Zhi En who had also cried for help earlier.

You two are truly best friends; even your ways of calling for help are exactly the same.

"Hey oppa, don't stand up, sit down and let's talk."

Bae Suzy held an ice pack in her left hand to cool her sprained left ankle, and patted the chair her assistant had brought over next to her with her right hand, gesturing for Chen Yan to sit down.

Chen Yan walked over and sat down, then looked at her slightly swollen left ankle.

"is it serious?"

"It's not serious, oppa."

Bae Suzy followed his gaze to her left foot, smiled and shook her head: "I just twisted it a little while filming an action scene. It'll be fine after icing it for a while."

Chen Yan nodded, then got down to business: "So what exactly did you mean by 'help' yesterday?"

"Yeah, I told you, oppa, you're not allowed to hit me."

Bae Suzy pursed her lips, her eyes slightly evasive.

Seeing this, Chen Yan raised an eyebrow: "When did I ever hit you?"

"No."

"That settles it then, go ahead and say it."

"Oh, well... it's nothing really. I've just been under a lot of pressure filming lately, and I wanted to chat with you, oppa. You don't have to write songs lately, so I came up with this excuse."

The girl's goal was simply to meet this oppa; the pressure of filming was also real.

Because of filming and other commitments, she hasn't seen Chen Yan for almost a month, and they only chat occasionally on their phones.

After all, she's not like Lee Ji-eun, who has classes to attend and can meet with this oppa every now and then.

The key issue is that the unnie (older sister) always sends her photos of the two of them in class, subtly and overtly showing off how much time she spends with this oppa and how close they are, which really annoys her.

She can tolerate this!

Since there was no opportunity, we created one, which led to yesterday's phone call.

Hmph, if Bae Suzy uses her brain, meeting this oppa won't be too difficult.

Beside him, Chen Yan calmly nodded after listening.

Then he raised his hand and gave the girl a light flick on the forehead.

"Whoops"

Bae Soo-ji winced slightly and raised her right hand to cover her forehead. She pouted and looked at Chen Yan with a resentful expression.

"Oppa, you promised you wouldn't hit me."

Chen Yan shrugged: "When did I say I wouldn't hit you? I just asked if I had ever hit you before, not that I wouldn't hit you anymore."

Bae Suzy opened her mouth, but when she realized that it was indeed true, she couldn't say anything to refute it.

In the end, he could only snort, wrinkle his nose at Chen Yan, make a pitiful face, and turn his head away from this hateful oppa.

Seeing this, Chen Yan and his agent and assistant standing next to him couldn't help but smile.

The agent looked at his artist's unusually childish temper and shook his head with a smile.

When her gaze fell on Chen Yan beside her, she couldn't help but flinch.

She had discovered that her own artist was getting a little too close to the up-and-coming producer at the company, and she had reported it to Park Jin-young.

But after listening, Park Jin-young simply nodded calmly, indicating that he understood, and told him not to interfere and to let the two of them interact normally.

Having received clear instructions, she certainly wouldn't create trouble for herself unnecessarily; she just needed to prevent the two of them from doing anything too outrageous while at work.

For example, kissing in public is definitely not allowed; if they must kiss, they should wait until they get home.

Looking at the girl tilting her head and still looking sullen, Chen Yan shook his head with amusement.

"You could have just told me directly. Why did you have to call and yell for help? Don't you know you can't just yell for help randomly? Haven't you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?"

Bae Suzy wasn't really angry, of course. Upon hearing this, she immediately turned her head and asked, "What's the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?"

"Forehead"

Chen Yan's expression froze for a moment, forgetting that there was no "boy who cried wolf" story on the peninsula.

So I briefly told the girl the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

After hearing the story, Bae Suzy and her manager and others behind her seemed to be deep in thought.

A few seconds later, the girl looked up at Chen Yan and asked, "Oppa, if I really encounter danger, can I call you immediately?"

"Can't you hope for something better? Why do you keep thinking about the danger you might encounter?"

Chen Yan first said something in an annoyed tone, then looked at Bae Suzy seriously.

"If you encounter danger, make sure your own safety first, and then find an opportunity to call the police."

Bae Suzy immediately smiled and said, "Okay~ I understand, oppa."

She wasn't hoping to get into danger; she just knew that if she said that, her oppa would care about her.

The two were having a rather strange conversation, unaware that a pair of eyes were watching them from not far away.

The mineral water bottle, which was still half full, was suddenly squeezed tightly by a hand the moment Bae Suzy smiled, making a slightly aching sound.

Lee Seung-gi looked at the two people chatting and laughing not far away with a sinister gaze.

He had just returned from filming a scene when he discovered that Chen Yan had somehow ended up sitting next to Bae Suzy.

As the two were chatting, Chen Yan suddenly raised his hand and flicked Bae Suzy's forehead.

He saw Bae Suzy cover her forehead with her hand, pout, and turn her head.

The sight of her acting like a submissive woman, something he'd never seen before, instantly ignited a surge of anger within him. Damn it! Was Bae Suzy's manager blind? She just watched those two flirting right under her nose without doing anything about it.

After a few heavy breaths, a smile suddenly returned to Lee Seung-gi's face.

It's alright, that bastard Chen Yan will learn his lesson in a few days.

I'll have to prepare a big fruit basket to visit him in the hospital.

Just then, Chen Yan's gaze fell upon them.

The moment their eyes met, Lee Seung-gi revealed his usual gentle smile and nodded slightly to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, then looked away.

Lee Seung-gi sneered inwardly and was about to look down at the script when he caught a glimpse of the white BMW sports car parked at the entrance of the film set. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Two seconds later, he raised his phone, found a suitable angle, his smile widened, and then he started taking a selfie.

After a few shots, I changed the angle again.

A few minutes later, the selfie session ended. Looking at the photo of the car with the license plate number clearly visible among the pile of selfies, Lee Seung-gi gave a cold smile.

He sent the photo to a contact and then sent a message before putting down his phone and continuing to read the script.

On the other side, after withdrawing his gaze from Lee Seung-gi, Chen Yan leaned close to Bae Suzy and whispered:

Is Lee Seung-gi still pursuing you?

Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy subconsciously glanced at Lee Seung-gi, who was holding up his phone as if taking a selfie.

She looked away and shook her head: "No, maybe he's given up too. After all, I've rejected him so many times, he wouldn't hang himself on one tree like me."

As she spoke, the girl's upturned nose twitched slightly, and then she chuckled.

Hehe, oppa smells so good, it's very comforting and reassuring.

This body scent is even better than the perfume I gave this oppa. It seems I really gave the wrong gift. Luckily, this oppa didn't wear the perfume I gave him.

Chen Yan nodded upon hearing this, and did not discuss the topic any further.

He then looked at the girl's sprained left ankle: "Do you still have any action scenes today?"

"Nothing."

Bae Suzy shook her head again, removed the ice pack from her left ankle, and looked at it. The redness and swelling had subsided somewhat.

But then, as if remembering something, she suddenly frowned, looking distressed.

Seeing this, Chen Yan asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Oppa, I have a crying scene coming up, the kind where the male and female leads' relationship is deepening."

The girl turned to look at Chen Yan, her face scrunched up in a frown.

The image of Bae Suzy looking at Lee Seung-gi's face with tears in her eyes suddenly flashed into Chen Yan's mind, and he blinked.

"puff"

In the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahahahaha."

"oppa!"

Bae Suzy immediately puffed up her cheeks and glared at the man with her rabbit eyes.

He even laughed, unaware of how big a test this was for him.

"I'm sorry, I'm not laughing anymore."

Chen Yan suppressed a laugh and patted her shoulder: "Xiuzhi, I can't help you with acting, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Humph"

The girl wrinkled her nose and snorted softly; she couldn't help but feel that this oppa was gloating a little.

A cell phone suddenly rang.

Chen Yan picked up his phone, glanced at it, and answered the call.

"Hello, President Li, yes, something urgent came up this morning, I'm sorry. Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Bae Suzy's voice rang out at the right moment: "Oppa, did you have plans with someone this morning?"

"Well, I had arranged to meet with President Li of Mengcha Entertainment this morning to finish recording the songs that Girl's Day didn't finish yesterday, but I'm here with you now."

"I saw that it was still early, so I sent a message to explain to them. But then President Li called and said that Girl's Day also suddenly had an important commercial performance scheduled for this morning. This is perfect."

"what?"

Bae Suzy's eyes widened like a rabbit's: "Then why didn't you tell me about this yesterday, oppa?"

Chen Yan looked at her with amusement: "There are priorities. You've already cried for help, so of course I'll come to check on you first. Girl's Day only has a small part of the lyrics that hasn't been recorded yet. As long as we find time to record it before next month, it'll be fine."

"And it's perfect timing, they also have a last-minute schedule and can't record this morning."

"Oh."

Bae Suzy responded calmly, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

This oppa really cares about me; he even put aside his work for me.

However, I can't be so willful next time; I need to find out if oppa has any work first.

Furthermore, we can no longer use lame excuses like "help me"; it's better to just say what's wrong directly.

She understood the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and should take it as a warning.

Otherwise, what if oppa's opinion of her worsens and he eventually ignores her?

Just as the girl was reflecting on her actions, a crew member from the film set suddenly ran over.

"Suzy-ssi, IU-ssi is here to visit the set."

"What?! IU unnie?!"

Bae Soo-ji was taken aback.

Why did this unnie suddenly show up?

She subconsciously turned to look at Chen Yan: "Oppa, did you tell IU unnie about coming here?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "No."

A commotion came from the entrance of the film set.

The two looked over and saw Lee Ji-eun walking into the film set with a sweet smile on her face, greeting the staff along the way.

Looking at that figure, Bae Suzy's rabbit-like eyes narrowed slightly.

This unnie's arrival couldn't have been more at a worse time.
