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

Chapter 597 Kim Tae-yeon's Birthday Heated Home Party
"How did you come?"

Looking at that familiar figure, Chen Yan subconsciously spoke.

Seeing this, the surrounding students looked curiously at the figure sitting in the first row, waving and greeting Chen Yan.

"Who is it? It's a girl, and she seems to know Chen Yan very well."

"I don't know. Judging from her demeanor, she doesn't seem like a student."

As the crowd whispered among themselves, the figure slowly stood up.

Wearing a simple outfit of a black hooded sweatshirt, loose blue jeans, and white sneakers, the person who took off their mask and revealed their face caused a sudden uproar.

"Ah, it's IU!"

"Wow! IU's here too!"

"Ahhh! It's IU! I'm U Aina, I can't believe I've met IU here!"

Lee Ji-eun's fair and lovely face was adorned with a bright smile as she looked at Chen Yan on the stage.

The staff responsible for maintaining order at the scene reacted quickly and immediately brought her a microphone.

After politely thanking him, Lee Ji-eun took the microphone, looked at her oppa, and replied with a smile:
"Of course I'm here to listen to your lecture, oppa! I'm your student too, so of course I have to come and listen."

As she spoke, she turned to interact with all the students in the room: "You all agree, right?"

"Inside~"

The students responded quickly, cheering enthusiastically with smiles on their faces.

Anyone who follows K-pop even a little knows about the mentor-student relationship between Chen Yan and Lee Ji-eun.

After hearing what Lee Ji-eun said, they immediately understood why she was here.

It's perfectly normal for students to attend their teacher's first lecture.

Hearing the students' response, Lee Ji-eun's smile widened, and she looked back at Chen Yan on the stage, her chin slightly raised, her eyes filled with a hint of smugness.

She came here openly and legitimately because she was a student.

Seeing the girl's smug expression, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile and asked, "Don't you have any plans today?"

Lee Ji-eun shook her head: "No, I'm off today, so I can come to listen to the lecture."

To give her oppa a little surprise, she deliberately didn't tell him that she was taking the day off.

"Oh."

Chen Yan nodded, looked at her, and suddenly changed the subject: "Since you have time, why don't you come up and help me look through the PPT?"

Lee Ji-eun smiled and agreed, "Okay~"

She stepped onto the stage, and the student council member who was originally responsible for helping Chen Yan flip through the PPT tidally gave up his seat and turned to leave the stage.

Chen Yan glanced at the girl sitting in front of the computer, smiled, and then turned to look at the students below the stage.

"Then our lecture will officially begin."

"Inside~"

The students responded and glanced at Lee Ji-eun, who was sitting there.

Having the most popular female solo artist on the Korean Peninsula, and even having IU, the nation's little sister, show him PowerPoint presentations, it's estimated that only this senior at Yonsei University has such prestige.

Then, Chen Yan stood on the stage and spoke at a measured pace.

I first gave a brief overview of the development of K-pop, and then focused on my understanding of K-pop and my views on its future development.

Behind her, Lee Ji-eun clicked on the PowerPoint presentation on the computer at the right time, turning the pages as Chen Yan narrated.

The students listened attentively to Chen Yan's presentation while taking notes in their notebooks.

More than half an hour later, Chen Yan finished his presentation and the Q&A session began.

The audience reacted enthusiastically, with almost two-thirds of the students raising their hands.

Chen Yan randomly selected students to ask questions, choosing one from each area.

The girl who was pointed out in the far right area stood up; she was the one who told her friend at the beginning that she was a fan of U Aina.

But besides being a fan of Lee Ji-eun, she actually has another hidden identity.

Those are the CP fans of Chen Yan and Li Zhi'en, and the leading ones at that.

Looking at Chen Yan on the stage, and Li Zhi'en sitting obediently not far behind him, her eyes flickered, and she said:

"Senior, IU is your only student. Can you tell us how you usually teach IU to compose and arrange music?"

On stage, Lee Ji-eun, who was sitting in front of the computer, was stunned by what she heard.

Coming to her senses, she looked at Chen Yan's back in front of her, her lips slightly pursed, a faint tingling sensation spreading through her buttocks. At first, Chen Yan had been very serious when teaching her.

But once he was almost ready to graduate, the teaching position quietly shifted elsewhere, unspoken between the two of them.

After hearing the girl's question, Chen Yan blinked and gave a somewhat irrelevant answer:
“I never said that Ji-eun was my only student.”

He also has a student who hasn't been publicly identified.

It's just that this student is usually busy with work and has a poor memory, which makes his learning progress very slow, so we asked him not to make it public for the time being.

I'm talking about you, Kim Tae-yeon!
Nearly half an hour later, the lecture ended.

After dealing with some students who came up to ask for autographs, Chen Yan and Li Zhi'en took the elevator from the side door to the underground parking garage and drove back to their house in Gangnam District.

Lee Ji-eun was off work today, so of course she went home with him.

And it wasn't just her; everyone in the family would come home at night.

Today is March 9th, which is the birthday of the eldest sister, Kim Tae-yeon.

Although many of them had evening schedules, and Girls' Generation was still in their comeback period, this was the first birthday that the whole family had gathered together for, and it was also their first birthday in their new home, making it quite special.

So everyone said they would go home after their schedules ended that night to celebrate Kim Tae-yeon's birthday.

Chen Yan, taking advantage of the gathering of everyone, decided to hold the housewarming party for their new home tonight.

The relationship between the group must be kept secret, and only the family members will attend the housewarming party; no one else will be invited.

Therefore, Kim Tae-yeon's birthday plus her new home housewarming party made today even more special.

In the car, Lee Ji-eun looked at Chen Yan with a grin: "Oppa, are you surprised that I'm going to attend your lecture?"

Chen Yan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with affection: "Surprise~"

"Hehe~"

Lee Ji-eun's eyebrows immediately curved even more.

"By the way, oppa, what gift did you prepare for Taeyeon unnie?"

"It's a secret. You'll find out tonight."

"Tch~ Fine, I won't tell you then~"

A dozen minutes later, the car drove into the underground garage of the house in Gangnam District.

After getting out of the car, the two first went to check on the progress of the recording studio's renovation.

The walls around the recording studio have been rebuilt; all that's left is the interior decoration, which will be completed in another month.

After visiting the recording studio, the two returned to the first floor.

"What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Chen Yan glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 11:30. He looked at Li Zhi'en and asked.

"Anything is fine~ oppa, just make whatever you think is best."

"Okay, then let's just make some simple noodles for lunch, and have a proper meal for dinner."

He bought the ingredients yesterday for Kim Tae-yeon's birthday party and housewarming banquet tonight, and plans to cook a whole table of dishes himself.

Although there are nine people in total including him, eight of them are female idols, and apart from Yoona, they don't eat much.

So Chen Yan planned to cook ten dishes for dinner; any more would be too much for them to finish.

Ten dishes is actually quite a lot, especially since Yoona, the only person in the family who can cook, also has a schedule for the evening, so he has to cook ten dishes by himself.

I'm definitely tired, but today is a special day, so it's okay to be tired once in a while.

Lee Ji-eun nodded: "Okay~"

The noodles were quickly prepared. After the two finished eating, they tidied up and returned to the living room to leisurely watch TV.

It wasn't until after 3 p.m. that Tao and Jung Soo-jung, who were the first to finish their schedules, returned home and joined the ranks of those staying at home.

Around five o'clock, seeing that it was almost time, Chen Yan got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Lee Ji-eun, Tao, and Jung Soo-jung also got up.

Knowing that their husbands work hard preparing so many dishes by themselves, even though they can't cook, they can still help wash the vegetables and peel potatoes.

Around 6 PM, Bae Suzy, who had finished filming the commercial, returned home and joined the kitchen helpers.

It wasn't until around 9 p.m. that the four busiest people, Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, Jessica Jung, and Lee Soon-kyu, finally returned home.

The whole family is here.
