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

Chapter 473 Lee Soon-kyu, put on your bathrobe!

"I heard from Zhenli that you went to see your girlfriend last night, Xiaoyan?"

After saying that explosive statement, Kim Tae-yeon seemed to realize that what she said was a bit inappropriate, and added:
"Oh, it was almost true. You didn't make it after Jinri and Soojung saw you."

Chen Yan was dumbfounded and suddenly sat up.

What are you saying? How can you use that word so casually?

"What are you saying, Nuna? I didn't say anything."

"Yeah, that's why I said almost."

"No, it wasn't a near miss. I genuinely never had that thought from beginning to end."

Kim Tae-yeon blinked and calmly nodded: "Oh, okay, I believe you. Xiaoyan, don't get so excited. We didn't say anything."

No, the first thing they said was, "You went to see your girlfriend last night." How can you say they didn't say anything?

You are slandering someone's innocence out of thin air.

Good people deserve to have guns pointed at them.

Looking at Kim Tae-yeon's fair and delicate face on the phone screen, Chen Yan was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon on the other end of the phone couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking with you, Xiaoyan. We know you too well."

Jessica Jung, who was behind her, then approached the camera, looking somewhat worried.

"Xiaoyan, did you explain things clearly to Xiujing last night? You can't let her misunderstand that you're the kind of person who would mess around outside."

If Soo-jung sees her husband going to a place like that, what if she doesn't explain things clearly and Soo-jung really misunderstands?

She had originally planned to confront Krystal after the tour ended, by which time the two of them should be getting along quite well, and the timing would be perfect.

The relationship between the two has only just begun to improve, and we can't let this misunderstanding cause things to go back to square one overnight.

"Don't worry, Nuna, of course I've explained it clearly."

Knowing what the older sister was worried about, Chen Yan smiled and said, "I was the one who took Xiujing back to her dorm last night, so she didn't misunderstand."

"That's good."

Jessica Jung felt relieved and stepped back to Taeyeon's side.

At this moment, Lim Yoona on the right leaned over, her beautiful doe eyes curving into crescents. She glanced at the man's legs and teased, "..."
"Just bear with it for a few more days, okay? We'll go back home in a few days and come to see you then."

Chen Yan was stunned.

This is what it's like to date a girl who's mentally 30+. Things that would be difficult to talk about at this age are now being said directly.

She combines a girl's innocence with an older sister's straightforwardness; he absolutely loves her.

However, seeing the cunning look in the little deer's eyes, Chen Yan knew that she was using this matter to tease him.

Then, with a slight squinting in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be waiting. Even if you surrender by banging on the bed, I won't stop."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Lim Yoona's face, as if she were recalling some unpleasant memory, but quickly, she stiffened her neck and said:
"Hmph~ Who's afraid of who? Maybe you'll be the one to surrender first."

Even if you lose the argument, you can't lose face. Since Chen Yan can't catch her right now, you can win the verbal battle first.

As for whether my fate will be terrible when I go back in a few days.

At worst, she could just act cute and call him "oppa" a few more times. She didn't believe that this man would really kill her.

If even that doesn't work.
Can't I just call him daddy?

"hehe."

Faced with Xiao Lu's stubbornness, Chen Yan could only respond with a chuckle.

"Hey, what are you saying?"

Kim Tae-yeon, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and snatched her phone back.

Although everyone present was on their side, they really couldn't let the two of them continue talking.

If we keep talking, we might even end up talking about what poses we should strike.

Looking at the man sitting on the headboard on the other end of the phone, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Xiaoyan is quite reassuring; at least she stays home obediently at night if she has nothing to do and doesn't go out partying.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said with a subtle expression, "Xiao Yan, you don't have someone else hiding next to you, do you?"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Yoona and Jessica Jung's eyes immediately turned dangerous.

Chen Yan was stunned.

The next second, the phone camera turned to the side, scanned around the bedroom, and finally Chen Yan's face reappeared in front of the camera.

"Nuna, don't scare me, I'm scared to sleep alone at night."

Seeing the exaggerated expression on the man's face, Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.

This acting is even worse than hers.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't become an actress, otherwise she would definitely have experienced the lowest point in her life.

"I wasn't talking about anything supernatural. I just wanted to see if there was someone like Lee Ji-eun or Bae Suzy next to you, hiding and afraid to be seen."

Chen Yan was taken aback again upon hearing this.

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

"Nuna, what are you saying? How come those two are at home? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would just bring people home like that?"

The implication is that I will definitely inform you before bringing someone home.

"Humph~"

Kim Tae-yeon gave a soft hum and said nothing more.

As long as the man knows what's going on, that's fine.

That's what she meant. Although she wouldn't interfere in Chen Yan's relationship with those two people, the matter of entering the family couldn't be taken lightly.

Even Jessica Jung only entered the house after obtaining permission from her, Yoona, and Tao.

Others are even more obligated to participate, as this also serves to solidify their position within the family.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and was about to speak.

Suddenly, on the phone screen, a figure emerged from what appeared to be a bathroom, diagonally behind Kim Tae-yeon and the others.

She's Lee Soon-kyu's older sister.

He was wearing a loose bathrobe, and after taking a couple of steps, the bathrobe slipped off his right shoulder.

However, the owner didn't seem to care, raising his hand to fix his hair as he continued walking forward.

However, from Chen Yan's perspective, he could vaguely see the Northern Hemisphere, which left him momentarily stunned.

"Ok?"

Kim Tae-yeon, who was holding her phone, and Lim Yoon-ah and Jung Soo-yeon, who were next to her, both noticed the man's strange behavior. They frowned in confusion and subconsciously turned their heads.

then
"Hey, Lee Soon-kyu, can you please put your bathrobe on properly?!"

"Unnie!"

"beep"

The screen went black instantly, followed by the sound of the phone being hung up.

Chen Yan blinked and smacked his lips a few times.

No, why would I hang up? My internet connection just suddenly lagged a bit, it wasn't because I saw anything.

Seriously, you guys believe me.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He raised his right hand, looked at it for a few seconds, and then slowly clenched it, as if savoring the vastness and warmth he had felt that morning.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh of relief, suppressing the slight agitation in his heart.

Tsk, why did it suddenly hang up?

If he had known that the older sister would reward him last time, he would have just reached out and accepted.

Meanwhile, in a room at a high-end hotel in Taiwan.

The three people on the bed suddenly turned around and shouted something, leaving Lee Soon-kyu blinking in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Im Yoona pointed to her bathrobe, which was almost slipping down to her elbow on the left side, and pouted coquettishly:

"Your bathrobe, unnie, has slipped off your shoulders."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily swept across the Northern Hemisphere, her lips pursed slightly, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

"Ah, this."

Lee Soon-kyu glanced to her left, pulled her bathrobe back up, and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, we're all family, it's not like we haven't seen it before, why are you making such a fuss?" Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes at her: "We were just video chatting with Xiaoyan."

Startled for a moment, Lee Soon-kyu quickly realized what was happening and blinked.

What she was thinking about wasn't how much Chen Yan had just seen, but rather how she should react.

To be honest, she didn't care about this at all. After all, someone had measured it by hand before, and now she had just seen it. It was no big deal.

Of course, it was only because the person who saw it was Chen Yan that she didn't care at all.

If it were any other man, she would have given those three men a good scolding.

However, on the other hand, although she didn't care about this matter, she couldn't act that way, otherwise Taeyeon and Yoona, those two shrewd people, might get suspicious.

The situation suddenly escalated into a battle of wits between her, Kim Tae-yeon, and Im Yoon-ah.

Many thoughts were running through my mind, but only a second or two had passed in reality.

Lee Soon-kyu blinked a few times, then slightly pouted her sexy lips, glanced at Kim Tae-yeon and the other two, and said somewhat speechlessly:

"Oh, I didn't know you guys were video chatting with Xiaoyan. I was taking a shower in there and couldn't hear what you were saying. I thought it was the three of you chatting. Why didn't you remind me?"

"Besides, there was only one women's bathrobe in the bathroom, and Taeyeon wore it, so I had to wear this men's one. It's not my fault if it slips down."

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon and the others suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, I just forgot for a moment. I'll definitely pay attention next time."

"Never mind, it was just an accident anyway, and Xiaoyan isn't exactly an outsider."

Lee Soon-kyu waved her hand dismissively at Kim Tae-yeon, who was wearing a fawning smile, then turned and walked towards her bed.

As he turned around, a victorious smile appeared on his lips.

She walked to the bedside, kicked off her slippers, got into bed, sat cross-legged, glanced at Kim Tae-yeon and the other two, and casually asked:

"By the way, what were you and Xiaoyan talking about just now?"

Although the question was somewhat direct and abrupt, it was actually quite normal.

Lee Soon-kyu asked the same question during previous video calls between Kim Tae-yeon and the others and Chen Yan.

In addition, given her naturally gossipy nature, Kim Tae-yeon and the others didn't suspect anything.

"Oh, we were just talking about that."

Kim Tae-yeon told Lee Soon-kyu about Tao's encounter with Chen Yan last night.

"Oh"

Lee Soon-kyu nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Kim Tae-yeon and the other two and asked, "So, is Xiaoyan really that amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon and the other two did not give a direct answer, but instead looked away.

Seeing this, Lee Soon-kyu naturally knew the answer.

Wow, Xiaoyan is really that amazing! Hmm, judging by her figure, she doesn't seem weak at all.

She had slept in Chen Yan's arms all night last time, so she had the right to speak on the matter.

However, Lee Soon-kyu did not pursue the matter further, as asking further would truly be a matter of privacy.

The group chatted for a while, switching to other topics, before Yoona and Jessica went back to their rooms to rest.

Leaning against the headboard, Lee Soon-kyu picked up his phone, ready to start a game, when he suddenly looked down at something, as if he had just thought of it.

Her full curves were faintly visible beneath the loose bathrobe.

She smiled, pursing her lips.

Xiao Yan will probably relive the feeling of that morning.

She might even regret that he didn't seize the opportunity to reward her last time.

My gaze returned to the phone screen where the game had finished loading.

Rewards don't just appear out of thin air; if you miss one, you'll have to wait for the next one.

The following morning, inside SM Entertainment.

Chen Yan walked out of Director Lin's office and, led by his female assistant, headed to the arranged recording studio.

Today he's here to record the song "Growl" for EXO.

After arriving, as usual, I went to Director Lin's office and chatted with him for a while to reconnect.

Then I followed my assistant to the door of a recording studio.

Pushing open the door, I found the same two assistants I had worked with twice before in the recording studio.

The three were already quite familiar with each other. After exchanging greetings, they sat down and chatted casually while waiting for EXO to arrive.

Less than five minutes later, there was a knock on the recording studio door, and the twelve members of EXO and their manager walked in.

After the usual greetings and serving coffee to the three, the manager left the three who were scheduled to record in the morning and took the remaining nine to their schedules.

But coincidentally, the three people who stayed this time were the same ones who stayed last time to record "Baby Don't Cry".

Byun Baekhyun, Do Kyungsoo, and Kim Jongin.

Chen Yan smiled and glanced at the three people in front of him. When his gaze fell on Byun Baekhyun, the corners of his mouth turned up even more.

However, upon seeing that smile, Byun Baekhyun on the other side suddenly clenched his hands, his body trembling slightly.

Unpleasant memories began to haunt him again.

Ever since he learned that the song "Roar" was also written by Chen Yan and recorded by him, Byun Baekhyun knew that unless he left the group, there was no way he could escape it.

No matter how much mental preparation he did before coming, he still couldn't help but feel flustered when he saw Chen Yan in person.

“Baekhyun-xi”.

"Inside."

Byun Baekhyun straightened his body instinctively.

"Get ready, you'll be the first one to record later."

"Okay, PDnim."

Taking a deep breath, Byun Baekhyun kept reassuring and encouraging himself as he walked into the recording studio with the lyrics and began to sing.

Ten minutes later, after warming up his voice, he gestured to Chen Yan outside, who nodded, and the recording officially began.

then
The familiar phrases, "Baekhyun-ssi, watch your breath," and "Baekhyun-ssi, add more emotion," echoed repeatedly in the recording studio.

However, SM only scheduled the recording time in the morning today. In order to keep the recording schedule in order, Chen Yan was not as "strict" as last time. He only made things difficult for Byun Baekhyun for half an hour before stopping.

The recording lasted for nearly four hours. After recording the parts for the three people, it was time for lunch. Chen Yan called a halt to the recording, said goodbye to the others, and prepared to return to JYP.

As I approached the elevator, it arrived at my floor after about ten seconds and the doors slowly opened.

Inside the elevator, a familiar figure appeared. Upon seeing her, Chen Yan paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Xiujing, you're at the company today."

Upon seeing Chen Yan, Krystal Jung's eyes lit up subconsciously, and she nodded.

"Yeah, I just had a meeting with the artists department. What are you doing at the company?"

"Oh, I'm here to record a song for EXO."

Chen Yan stepped into the elevator and glanced at the floor the other person had pressed: "Are you going to the cafeteria for lunch?"

"Yeah, it's lunchtime."

Krystal replied, then quickly seemed to remember something. She glanced at the man, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said:

"You haven't eaten either, have you? Why don't we eat something together?"

Chen Yan was taken aback.

Seeing this, the girl felt a pang of sadness, and even the words she spoke carried a hint of bitterness.

"What, Sherry's not here, so can't you eat with me?"

"No way, what's wrong with having a meal?"

Chen Yan quickly shook his head.

He paused for a moment because he had originally planned to go back to JYP to eat, since the food at SM Entertainment was really not very good.

But now that the girl has invited him, he certainly won't refuse.

The elevator then arrived at the cafeteria floor.

"Let's go."

After telling Krystal Jung, Chen Yan stepped out of the elevator.

Behind him, Krystal Jung watched his retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips, and followed after him.
