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

Chapter 476 It Won't Be Giving Away for Free to Bae Suzy

Bae Suzy's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her pupils trembled slightly, and her two hands hanging by her sides instantly gripped the hem of her floral dress.

Because a soft touch was coming from her lips.

Come on. Seriously?

However, before she could have any other thoughts, the man made his next move.

He reached out with his left hand and wrapped it around her slender waist, pulling the girl's delicate body closer to him.

He raised his right hand and slowly ran it through her cascading black hair, kissing it gently and repeatedly.

Hmm, oppa is so gentle when he kisses.

The gentle movements and touches made Bae Suzy's heart beat faster and faster. Her beautiful eyes slowly closed, and her lips began to respond somewhat awkwardly.

She raised her arms and wrapped them around Chen Yan's waist, gradually becoming completely absorbed in him.

"A sneeze, a sneeze"

In Guangdong Province, China, a nanny van that has just driven a short distance from the airport.

Krystal Jung, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, suddenly sneezed twice.

Upon hearing the noise, Song Qian, who was sitting by the window, immediately turned her head.

"Are you feeling cold, Soojung?"

Krystal rubbed her nose and shook her head: "No, unnie, my nose just suddenly got a little itchy. It's so hot in Guangdong, how could I be cold?"

Victoria Song smiled and said, "That's true, but we still need to be careful these next few days. It's hot and we can easily catch a cold. The concert is the night after tomorrow, so we don't want to get sick on stage."

Then, she looked at the others and said, "It's not just Krystal, you all need to be careful too."

"Got it~"

Everyone nodded obediently in response.

Peach, who was sitting next to Krystal Jung, looked at Krystal, reached out and shook her hand to make sure she wasn't cold, before smiling and withdrawing her hand.

"Adu"

Two seconds later, the phone's notification sound rang.

Peach picked up her phone and looked at it, a happy smile immediately spreading across her face.

Soojung: Will Chen Yan come the day after tomorrow?

She glanced to the side and saw someone looking down at their phone, their face expressionless, as if they had become a heartless phone-scrolling machine.

Her eyes crinkled with laughter again as she looked away, her fair fingers tapping rapidly on her phone screen.

Peach: Oppa wanted to come, but I refused. If he came, I wouldn't have time to spend with him. After the concert, we'll be flying back to Seoul to continue preparing for our comeback. It would be too tiring for Oppa to keep flying around with us.

Krystal: Oh, you're right.

Despite her seemingly emotionless reply, Peach blinked a few times, a sly smile flashing in her eyes.

Peach: Soojung, if you want to see oppa, you can invite him to our concert. Oppa will definitely agree.

Krystal Jung slightly furrowed her brows and typed a reply: You told him not to come, and now I'm calling him back. Are you just messing with him? Besides, who wants to see him? Don't talk nonsense.

Tsk, then I must have been talking nonsense.

Peach chuckled and was about to turn off her phone when a new message popped up in the chat box.

Krystal: By the way, last time you said you told IU and Suzy about what happened between you and Taeyeon. What do they think now?

Ok?
With an amused smile on her face, Peach couldn't help but glance to the side again.

The person remained expressionless, as if she herself hadn't sent the message.

Not bad, as expected, Krystal's determination to do something is immediately evident.

Look, they've already started spying on their rival's movements.

Her eyes darted around, and Peach's fingers began to tap rapidly on the virtual keyboard.

A message pop-up appeared at the top of her phone, and Krystal Jung switched back to her chat with Peach.

The next second, his eyes widened suddenly, his calm expression vanishing.

Peach: I don't know about Ji-eun's side, but Suzy's side has already hit a home run.

Krystal Jung subconsciously turned to look at Peach next to her, only to see the girl trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Seeing this, how could she not realize that she had been tricked?

Seeing that the little iceberg's breathing had become a bit heavier, Peach quickly raised her hand to interrupt her, gesturing for her to look at her phone.

With a soft hum, Krystal Jung lowered her head and continued looking at her phone.

Peach: I was just joking. But I really don't know what these two are thinking right now, but one thing is for sure, they won't get to base anytime soon.

Peach: I'll test the waters when I chat with them later, and then I'll tell you, Xiujing, hehe.

Hmph, that's more like it. As your own teammate, how can you side with someone else?

Besides, all I want is some intelligence, to know the opponent's progress; I don't need you to do anything else.

Satisfied, Krystal put away her phone and couldn't help but turn to look at Peach again.

But they met a pair of smiling eyes, eyes that seemed to say: Don't worry, I understand, I will definitely help you.

Her gaze flickered nervously for a moment, then she quickly turned her head to the other side, looking out the car window.

Seeing this, Peach smiled and didn't send her any more messages. Instead, she turned her head to the other side and admired the city she had never been to before through the car window.

Although Krystal Jung was looking at the city scenery passing by outside the window, her mind was not on it at all.

Although it's unclear what IU's feelings are for Chen Yan, she's usually very busy and doesn't have much time to see him.

So this unnie's progress is definitely not as fast as hers.

As for Xiuzhi, her feelings for Chen Yan are quite obvious, but she is usually quite busy.

Although I've had a little more free time recently, it's not by much.

Therefore, her progress is probably not much faster than mine.

Unless she just goes up there and gives herself away for free. Although Suzy is a sucker for good looks, she probably wouldn't go so far as to just give herself away for free.

He's the nation's first love, after all; how could he possibly give himself away for nothing?

Besides, Chen Yan isn't the kind of person who would take advantage of someone who offers themselves up.

If he were really that kind of person, he would have countless people in his family by now, and Taeyeon and the others would definitely not accept him.

After analyzing the situation, the girl concluded: The advantage lies with me!
After all, if we're really talking about it, besides Taeyeon, she was the first person Chen Yan met.

Given how long they've known each other, their feelings for each other are self-evident; even IU and Suzy have to come after her.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on the girl's lips, full of confidence.

"A sneeze, a sneeze"

Somewhere in Seoul, on the set of "You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin".

Lee Ji-eun, who was resting in her chair, suddenly sneezed twice in a row.

She rubbed her slightly itchy nose and murmured, "Strange, why does it feel like someone is talking about me? Could it be that girl, Soo-ji?"

Shaking her head to clear her mind of all sorts of random thoughts, the girl continued to look down at her phone.

Soon, his brows furrowed and his lips tightened.

The manager beside her, Pei Zhonghan, noticed his artist's unusual behavior. He glanced at her phone screen, and after seeing the content, he frowned and said:

"Ji-eun, it's normal for ratings to fluctuate. Don't pay attention to these anti-rating comments online, they're meaningless. Don't you know these people?"

Last week, the ratings for "You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin" suddenly dropped by several percentage points, which gave Lee Ji-eun's anti-fans a perfect reason to criticize her acting skills online for the past few days.

However, it's normal for the ratings of long weekend dramas to fluctuate, and it's not a problem with Lee Ji-eun's acting skills, but also due to the plot.

But those antis won't care about any of that; they'll still criticize you even without a reason, let alone now that they have one.

"Ok, I know."

Lee Ji-eun replied without looking up, saying "I know" but her eyes were still fixed on her phone, her brows furrowed.

She knows her own situation best; she knows her acting skills aren't great, but they're not as bad as the online critics claim.

However, seeing such comments, especially when one is aware of having this problem, will more or less affect one and cause some self-doubt.

Seeing that the girl was still looking down, Pei Zhonghan looked somewhat helpless.

This girl is good in every way, but she cares too much about what others think of her and is too demanding of herself.

If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it and will develop psychological problems.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said again, "Zhi'en, stop looking. If you keep looking, I'm going to call Director Chen."

Lee Ji-eun paused for a moment, subconsciously thinking about who the Director Chen he mentioned was, then realized what he meant and turned to look at him with a bewildered expression.

"Why are you calling oppa? It's like he's my father."

“Although Director Chen is not your father, he is your teacher, and you listen to what he says. Have you forgotten what Director Chen said to you when he visited the set last time? He told you not to be too tense.”

"Tch, who listens to that scumbag?"

He muttered something under his breath, but the girl simultaneously put away her phone, as if she was genuinely afraid that Pei Zhonghan would call Chen Yan.

Pei Zhonghan smiled upon seeing this and made no further move.

Lee Ji-eun pursed her lips upon seeing this.

Pfft, oppa, you were just kidding. I should have watched a little longer; you might have actually called that jerk.

I'll reluctantly say a few words to that scumbag guy, and maybe I can even lure him over to visit me on set.

what?
You asked her why she didn't call Chen Yan over herself.

She's still angry.

Although the anger in her heart had subsided a lot when Chen Yan recorded a song for her last time.

But there's still something there, so aside from necessary official business, she doesn't plan to contact Chen Yan proactively for the next couple of days.

Yes, these are the two days in the real sense. Today is June 28th, and there are exactly two days left until the end of June.

I'll contact him again in July, by which time my anger will have subsided.

Thinking of this, Lee Ji-eun, who was resting her chin on her hand, couldn't help but chuckle softly, seemingly amused by her own little act of capriciousness.

Hmph, that's how it should be.

Why didn't that oppa tell me sooner that he was a jerk? All that mental preparation I did was for nothing.

Chen Yan: ? How can you blame me for this? You didn't even ask. If you had asked, I would have told you.

Lee Ji-eun: Wouldn't you tell me if I didn't ask? How am I supposed to know you're a jerk if you don't tell me?

Chen Yan:
but.

Her thoughts drifted, and the girl frowned again, as if she had thought of something.

Suzy is a real problem.

She didn't think that guy with such a pretty face could resist making a move on that oppa.

Last time at the coffee shop, this girl nodded the most enthusiastically; she was clearly very interested.

No, next month, besides the necessary filming, I need to try to free up my evenings so that oppa can record songs for me and increase our time together.

While I can't guarantee that my progress will be faster than Suzy's, I at least have to be roughly on par with her, and I can't let that girl overtake me.

She was the one who met Chen Yan first, so it should be her who did first.

Unless that rabbit is completely innocent, it's impossible for it to surpass her.

She's the nation's first love, after all; she probably wouldn't do something like giving herself away for free.

Thinking of this, Lee Ji-eun smiled confidently, realizing that she still had a significant advantage.

At this moment, Bae Suzy, who was gently responding to Chen Yan in his office, said: "Yes, yes, yes, IU unnie, you and Soojung are both right. I definitely won't give up for nothing."

Wait, why is oppa sticking his tongue out?!
