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

Chapter 593 Rich woman, hungry, hungry
Several days have passed since that family gathering.

These past few days, besides going to work, Chen Yan has been busy buying and adding furniture to his home, and he's thoroughly enjoying it.

The family members are still busy every day.

But even when busy, we still keep track of the furniture purchase progress and discuss in the group what other things we need to add to the house.

Although Chen Yan has resumed a low-key lifestyle of going back and forth between home and the company in the past few days, online discussions about him have not stopped.

Because the audio performance of the song "Some" is truly outstanding.

In the nearly half a month since its release, "Some" has accumulated eight daily number one spots and two weekly number one spots on music charts.

Of course, it can't stay at the top of the music charts forever.

After all, even the best songs can become tiresome eventually, and it's impossible to listen to the same song on repeat every day.

Even without consistently topping the charts, "Some" still occasionally makes a comeback to the top of the daily charts, and even the top of the real-time charts.

In the words of netizens, "Some" is like a long-term lover. You might get tired of seeing each other every day, but if you don't see each other for a day or two, you'll start to miss them and can't help but listen to it again.

Judging from this trend, at least for this week, no song can shake its position at the top of the weekly charts.

Moreover, while "Some" was still performing well on the music charts, Chen Yan released another song last night.

It's the OST "My Destiny" from the drama "My Love from the Star".

The night before last, January 20th, at 1 PM, the drama "My Love from the Star," which had been plagued by controversies since its pre-production stage, finally premiered.

Although the preparation process was complicated, the casting controversy may have indirectly attracted a lot of attention, making the premiere of the drama very impressive, with a viewership rating of 15.7%, which is much higher than the premiere rating of "The Heirs" which just ended not long ago.

Online, netizens have given the show positive reviews.

The novel story of an alien with superpowers who has lived on Earth for over 400 years and a down-on-his-luck superstar has netizens eagerly anticipating how the plot will unfold.

Another highlight of this drama is the OST, which Chen Yan composed for the series and was sung by Kim Tae-yeon.

The combination of Chen Yan and Kim Tae-yeon is no less popular than the combination of Chen Yan and Bae Suzy, the nation's first love.

He just won the Golden Disc Award for Best Music Producer and created a phenomenal moment during his acceptance speech.

One is the leader of the popular girl group Girls' Generation, a top-rated vocalist, and also has outstanding achievements in the field of drama OSTs.

"If", "Can You Hear Me", "There's Another One"
These are all classic OSTs that are widely sung.

The song "My Destiny" was released simultaneously on major music streaming platforms on the Peninsula that same evening as the drama aired.

An hour later, the real-time music charts were refreshed, and "My Destiny" suddenly appeared at number one on all the real-time charts, achieving an all-kill on the real-time charts.

And coincidentally, the song "Some" was at the top of the real-time charts on several music streaming platforms before they were updated.

After the update, "My Destiny" topped the charts, while "Some" came in second.

Chen Yan once again staged another memorable scene of himself attacking himself.

What surprised the public even more was that after listening to "My Destiny," they found that Kim Tae-yeon's singing skills seemed to have improved considerably.

Hmm, not sure, let me listen to it again.

Okay, that's confirmed. Her singing skills have indeed improved, and not just significantly.

It's much stronger now!

As a result, a wave of praise for Kim Tae-yeon's singing skills quickly swept across the internet.

Even Kim Young-dae, who is familiar with Chen Yan, after reviewing the song "My Destiny" in the post, also used several hundred words to praise Kim Tae-yeon's singing skills, praising her as the best singer among the current female idols in the peninsula.

Not only him, but many music critics later gave similar evaluations.

This delighted Girls' Generation's fans, who celebrated online for days.

Some fans even said, "First Yoona's acting improved in 'The Heirs,' and now Taeyeon's singing has improved. Girls' Generation can stay popular for at least another ten years!!!"

Other fans who saw this comment gave it a thumbs up and left comments below, expressing their agreement.

"Hahahaha"

Chen Yan's home in a residential area in Cheongdam-dong.

Watching Kim Tae-yeon laughing happily while holding her phone, the infectious laughter of the middle-aged woman reaching his ears, Chen Yan leaned closer to take a look at her phone screen.

Sure enough, she was looking at those online posts praising her singing skills.

Noticing her man leaning closer, Kim Tae-yeon leaned back into his arms, found a comfortable position, and continued happily browsing online posts.

A pair of short legs in jeans stretched out on the sofa, two delicate white feet swaying slightly, expressing the owner's happy mood.

"Nuna, you seem so happy."

"Of course."

Kim Tae-yeon shook her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the posts online.

Although her improved singing skills are due to her past life experiences, she is naturally happy to see so many people praising her for the music she loves most.

"Oh, but Nuna, you've been scrolling through your phone for almost half an hour. Our break was supposed to be ten minutes."

Chen Yan's soft voice rang in her ears, and Kim Tae-yeon's smile froze.

next second.

"Snapped"

"Get up and keep studying."

Kim Tae-yeon sprang to her feet, pouted at Chen Yan, rubbed her bottom where she had just been spanked, and hummed twice.

Then he obediently sat cross-legged on the carpet and started reading the book that was open on the coffee table.

It was a book about the theoretical knowledge of composition.

Kim Tae-yeon took a break from her busy schedule today, enjoying half a day of rest in the afternoon.

Chen Yan originally intended for his older sister to rest at home.

However, Kim Tae-yeon said she wanted to continue studying composition.

It's already 2014, and according to her career trajectory, she'll be making her solo debut next October.

She needs to try to finish writing her debut song by the end of the year.

Aside from her regular work hours, she doesn't have much free time, so she has to make the most of every moment to study.

Reborn! I'm going to be a copyright tycoon too!

We can't let the money from SM dogs go to waste!

"You should study hard, Kim Tae-yeon, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to tell others that you're also my student, and I'll be disgracing my school."

Seeing the older sister pouting as she read, Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle and tease her.

So far, he has only publicly acknowledged one student, Lee Ji-eun, and she is almost ready to graduate.

As for Kim Tae-yeon...

Comrade, you still need to work hard.

Well, this older sister is willing to learn and has some talent, but she's too busy with work and her memory is a bit poor, which makes her progress quite slow.

But it's okay, it can be slow. I'll teach him eventually, as long as I'm here.

Upon hearing his teasing words, Kim Tae-yeon immediately turned around, raised her little fist at him, wrinkled her upturned nose, and her eyes were full of threat.

"Don't disturb my studies, Teacher Chen. If I can't concentrate, it's all your fault."

Looking at her adorable appearance, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile again and manually zipped up his jacket.

You imitate me, I won't say anything.

And so, Kim Tae-yeon gradually became engrossed in the conversation, while Chen Yan sat quietly beside her, scrolling through his phone and occasionally answering her questions.

Nearly an hour later, Chen Yan finally spoke, "Nuna, it's been almost an hour, let's take a break."

"okay."

Kim Tae-yeon responded, finished reading the section she was watching, took notes, and then got up and sat back down on the sofa, snuggling back into Chen Yan's arms. "Thank you for your hard work, Noona."

"It's alright. Maybe it's because I'm interested in it, but I don't feel too tired. I learned a little bit in my previous life, but I wasn't very good at it."

"Nuna, how many of your own songs do you still remember?"

"Um"

Kim Tae-yeon thought about it carefully, then raised her hand to scratch her cheek and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Actually, there aren't many. The one I remember most clearly is 'I,' since it was our debut song and we've been singing it ever since. There's also 'Four Seasons,' 'Weekend,' and 'INVU.'"

To be honest, she can't remember most of the songs that are from a long time ago.

What she remembers most clearly now are the songs she sang at the concert before her rebirth. Because she was going on tour, she made a point of memorizing those songs.

As she spoke, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly thought of something.

"correct."

She sat up from Chen Yan's arms, got up and walked to the canvas bag she had brought, and took out a notebook from it.

Then he sat down next to Chen Yan, opened the first page, and handed the notebook to him.

"I've already written out the lyrics for 'I,' Xiaoyan, take a look."

Chen Yan took the notebook and looked at it.

"I".

A sky radiant with light

"I am the child under the vast sky."

"Flying like a dream"

My life is a beauty.

"Oh, that's very nice."

After carefully reading the lyrics, Chen Yan offered a word of praise.

He had heard Kim Tae-yeon mention this debut song, which held special significance for her, more than once.

This song was called "the greatest debut song" by Kim Tae-yeon's fans in her previous life, and it was a song that even her haters couldn't help but listen to secretly in bed.

Even Chinese fans translated the song title as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I, the Emperor"), which shows how valuable this debut song is.

Kim Tae-yeon spoke of this song with great pride.

Just like now, upon hearing Chen Yan's praise, she immediately raised her chin slightly and hummed twice.

"Of course, this is my favorite song."

Seeing her smile, Chen Yan continued flipping through the notebook in his hand.

"Four Seasons", "Weekend", "INVU"
These are the songs that Kim Tae-yeon mentioned she remembered, and the lyrics were written down in her notebook.

Besides that, there were several pages with only a few lines of lyrics and no song title, which meant the woman probably couldn't remember them.

Kim Tae-yeon continued from the side, "Xiao Yan, I've already thought it through. Once I finish composing the music for 'I,' you can arrange the music, and we'll write the song together."

Given her current learning pace, it's practically impossible for her to learn music composition and write songs before October next year.

So we'll have Xiaoyan arrange the music then.

This way, the copyright for the lyrics and music belongs to her, while the copyright for the arrangement and production belongs to Xiaoyan, allowing her own people to make money and preventing SM Entertainment from earning royalties.

Hehe ~
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay~ I'll help Nuna with the arrangement then."

With a pleasant shake of her head, Kim Tae-yeon leaned back into his arms, her gaze unconsciously sweeping around the room before she remembered something else.

"By the way, Xiaoyan, I'm planning to buy this house. It holds many of our memories."

Chen Yan paused slightly as he played with Kim Tae-yeon's fair fingers: "Noona, I've already bought this place."

"You've already bought it?"

Kim Tae-yeon was slightly taken aback: "When did you buy it?"

"Just two days after I bought a house in Gangnam District, I came back here and thought about it, and then I decided to buy this place. I contacted the landlord the next day."

"So you don't have much money left?"

"There are probably still about 20 to 30 million Korean won left."

Chen Yan replied, smiling at Kim Tae-yeon, "It's okay, anyway, you guys won't let me go hungry, right?"

The meaning behind his smiling eyes was clear: I've been having stomach problems lately, so I need to rely on others.

Kim Tae-yeon squinted at him, pouted, then got up, took out her wallet from her canvas bag, and handed him a bank card.

"Hey, here's my credit card. It has a limit of 10 billion won, which should be enough for you for the next two months. If you need any other money, just let me know."

"That's definitely enough."

Chen Yan accepted it without any hesitation.

Back when he first moved in, Kim Tae-yeon offered him a bank card with 5000 million won, but he refused to accept it.

But now, he accepts credit cards with a limit of 10 billion without hesitation or psychological burden.

The two are now inseparable.

Kim Tae-yeon glanced into the room again and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Great, we have another little home now."

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I've almost finished furnishing my home in Jiangnan District."

“Okay~ I’ve also told Xiuying about the walk-in closet renovation. We can start construction at the end of the month and it will be completed by the middle of next month.”

As she spoke, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly pouted again: "Xiao Yan, do you know what? Choi Soo-young actually said she wanted to charge me a brokerage fee. She's so heartless."

Chen Yan smiled upon hearing this; it did indeed resemble Cui Xiuying's style.

"Nana, did you give it to her?"

"Of course I didn't give it to her. I'm a customer, and I've already introduced business to her family. She still wants to charge me a referral fee? She's dreaming."

The two chatted for a while, then Kim Tae-yeon suddenly remembered something and looked up at Chen Yan.

"By the way, Xiaoyan, what do you think about setting up a recording studio at home? It would be much more convenient for you. If you don't have anything important to do, you won't have to go to JYP every day. There's a home theater on the basement floor of the house, which is perfect. We can just renovate it."

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback.

He had considered this possibility.

A music producer with some talent usually sets up their own recording studio, which is convenient for their own use and can sometimes be used to earn money by taking on outside gigs.

However, his previous house was too small, so he put the idea on hold.

But now it's definitely possible to get a house in that Gangnam district.

However, he bought two houses in full and was now out of money.

Didn't you see he's now a rich woman? Hungry, hungry, time for food.

Setting up a top-notch recording studio can cost as much as buying a house.

"It's possible to set up one, but I don't have the money right now. Let's wait until my copyright fees arrive before we talk about it, Nuna."

"okay."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded without saying anything more, but her eyes flickered slightly.

The following evening, downstairs from Chen Yan's house, at Li Shungui's home on the 9th floor.

The eight family members gathered together once again.
