The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 148 I'm not Pabo!
After spending a few moments cuddling with the new girl, Nayeon, with her usual carefree smile, shyly returned to Twice's practice room. Her brisk steps made many of the Twice members curious, wondering if something good had happened to this unnie.

Gong Cheng, after Nayeon left, wandered leisurely through the office. He stopped in front of a separate practice room. Inside, Park Jin-young's instantly recognizable voice blared from the loud speakers. Gong Cheng peered in.

I found Park Jin Young dancing in front of the mirror in the practice room with a serious look on his face. It was the kind of rhythmic hip-twisting dance that he was very familiar with.

Gong Cheng didn't interrupt, but quietly watched from the side for a while. Honestly, this guy danced really well, his control of power and rhythm was truly professional. It was just his facial expressions that were a bit... uninhibited.

After thinking carefully for a while, Gong Cheng thought that the date of the JYP family concert would be decided soon, or perhaps it had already been decided.

Otherwise, Park Jin-young wouldn't be so diligent in practicing dance. But seeing how hardworking he is, Gong Cheng feels that the so-called JYP family concert might be half JYP singing and half family members singing?
Or maybe the family concert is just this guy wanting to go on stage and dance?
……

During lunch time, Gong Cheng came to SM and simply fulfilled his duties as a producer. Red Velvet's fourth mini album will be released on February 1, and the song "Bad Boy" he produced was chosen by SM as the title song of this album.

"Gong Cheng Oppa, what's the concept for your new album?" Kim Ye-rin eagerly asked in Red Velvet's practice room. As the group's youngest member, born in 99, she had become acquainted with the producer and affectionately addressed him as "Oppa."

Even Kim Ye-rin felt that based on the rumors about her sister and the producer, if the rumors came true one day, maybe she would have to call him brother-in-law?

Gong Cheng glanced at the lively Jin Yilin and smiled: "Didn't you guess it?"

Ever since the company released the preview poster for his first solo album today, the entire online public opinion has been arguing about the concept of this new album and the content of the songs.

The elements and structure of the poster were designed by him personally. Gong Cheng believes that the implied concepts are hidden in the poster, and the implications are very obvious.

"Two different concepts, Gong Cheng oppa, how could you possibly guess that?" Kim Yerin curled her lips. But both albums revolve around Tarot cards, describing a whole world of concepts. It was pretty cool, just like the online buzz had suggested. Perhaps Tarot is the prince of the Tarot world.

However, regarding the concept of this oppa's new album, her only analysis was that perhaps each of Makoto Miyabi's new solo albums in the future will correspond to the content and number of one of the cards in the tarot deck, and this time the number of the card is the "Wheel of Fortune" that was gently flipped up and uncovered in the preview poster.

To be honest, she thinks it's much cooler than the super-powered aliens of her predecessors in the company...

"Do you want to know so much?" Gong Cheng sat on the sofa and glanced at her.

"I do!" Kim Ye-rin nodded heavily.

"Yeri, you can just guess about this kind of thing yourself! How can you let others tell you?" Bae Joo-hyun interrupted their conversation. She smiled apologetically at Gong Cheng. It was a bit impolite for her youngest member to ask about this matter involving the company and personal plans so blatantly.

"So, are you still responsible for the production of this official album?"

"..." Gong Cheng glanced at Pei Zhuxuan. What a guy, I just told your youngest member not to ask, but you turned around and started asking?
Kim Ye-rin pouted a little unhappily, obviously she wanted to know too!
"I'm so tired~" Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi walked in carrying a few bags of takeout and happened to overhear Gong Sung and the others chatting. Kang Seulgi invited them, "Let's eat some Tarot together. Unnie, I'll have your share."

Son Seungwan muttered as he opened his takeout order: pork chop rice or something. "The concept for the new album should be two completely different styles, right? You can tell by the background of that 'Wheel of Fortune' tarot card."

"I've discovered that you really like using colors to express things, starting with 'YDP'..."

Sun Shengwan took a spoonful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth, talking non-stop. She had a lot of opinions and personal insights on the concept of Gong Cheng's new album.

"Yeah, that's about right!" Gong Cheng shrugged and took the takeaway from Bae Joo Hyun. "By the way, where are Sehun and Chanyeol? Are they at the company?"

I came in a hurry today and haven't visited the Second and Third Artillery yet.

"XO has a schedule today, so he probably won't be back until the afternoon." Bae Joo Hyun wiped the rice from the corner of her mouth and explained. She passed by EXO's practice room this morning and didn't see any members coming to the company.

"You guys in the "Da Cannon" line are really close..." Son Seungwan curled his lips in disdain. Stories about this producer had spread from JYP insiders to the entire industry. The Gangnam Dance King? The Little Bully of Yeongdeungpo District? The "Dating Enthusiast"? The "Nightclubber"? The "Trainee Lover"? The "On-Set Couple"? The "Gossip Prince"?

Ah Xi! It’s simply…

Hearing her words, several members of Red Velvet put down their lunch boxes and glanced at Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng lowered his head and ate the pork chop rice, squeezing his legs together...

"Ahem~" Bae Joo Hyun silently glared at Son Seung Wan, then changed the subject: "Don't you have any plans this afternoon?"

After all, she, a beautiful woman, had become friends with the Jiangnan Dance King, so it was only natural for her to help him out over a bottle of Coke. However, she had recently thought carefully about it and realized that this person's social circle didn't seem to be full of serious people.

Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun, her former trainees at her own company, were undoubtedly famous. But what about the members of Bombardment Meteor? Are Lay and Lim Young-woong okay? She wasn't entirely sure, but Park Jae-bum, the veteran, and the rumored fifth member of Bombardment Meteor, a bona fide clubber...

It is no secret in the circle or even in the eyes of fans.

After taking a few bites of takeout, Gong Cheng glanced at the latest news on his phone.

Executive Department Dragon Liu Zhimin: "Oppa, are you in the company?"

"Yeah, your seniors from the company, Red Velvet, are coming back soon. I came to check on them," Gong Cheng replied casually. "By the way, how did you know?"

Executive Dragon Liu Zhimin: "Oppa, every time you come to the company, the trainees' group chat spreads."

"Oppa, can we have a cup of coffee together after work? (Little yellow bean sheds humble tears)"

"Will it affect your practice?" Gong Cheng thought briefly before responding. He had a deep impression of Liu Zhimin, his young fan. After exchanging contact information, the two had been chatting casually.

However, the two of them seemed to be chatting on different channels. Gong Cheng was more concerned about the movements and feelings of his fans, while Executive Department Dragon often shared selfies and daily life with him.

Perhaps, it was because of these selfies that he was deeply impressed by this developmentally advanced female fan.

How come she is so well developed at such a young age?
Chaeyoung~ Look at her!
Executive Dragon: "Of course not, Oppa!"

"Who are you chatting with? You look so happy?" Bae Joo-hyun simply cleaned up the takeaway boxes and garbage, opened a can of Coke, took a sip, and looked at Gong Cheng who was sitting next to her with confusion.

"Do I need to think about it, unnie? It must be a girl." Son Seungwan shrugged. Someone who could make this producer so happy must be a girl, right? Perhaps it was another idol from some group.

"See you later." After Gong Cheng replied to Liu Zhimin, he put down his phone and complained, "I'm just a friend. Who do you think I am?"

"Really are!"

"..."

……

"What are you doing~"

In the coffee shop downstairs from SM, Gong Cheng was holding his phone and replying to Lin Nayeon's message: "Thinking about you~ Let's stop talking for now, I have to deal with some work."

Lin Nayeon: “Hehe~Okay~”

"Oppa, are you dating?" Executive Department Dragon sat across from Gong Cheng, a hint of suspicion on her delicate face. With all sorts of rumors and gossip circulating within the company and online about her family's character, she wondered what she was thinking.

She actually thinks that this oppa might really be a playboy, just like the rumors say, and often has girlfriends. As for what other artists and seniors often say on TV shows that artists are too busy to have time for relationships, it's all fake.

Although she hasn't debuted yet, her seniors in her own company, Red Velvet, are they too idle to do anything? Their phone time is incredibly long, so if they want to date, how could they not have the time?
But I'm worried, since he's so handsome, it would be a lie if he had never been in a relationship! Besides, it would be better if he had been in a relationship~
"Dating?" Gong Cheng put down his phone, took a sip of coffee, and shook his head, "No."

"Really?" Liu Zhimin was a little skeptical. Such a handsome and outstanding boy would definitely have many girls throwing themselves at him. "A lot of people in the company are saying that Oppa, you are dating Irene-senpai. It's so incredible..."

Even though she knew it was fake, she couldn't help but test it out. How could Oppa date that short senior? Actually, when she entered SM as a trainee, she thought that senior was really good-looking, but after entering the company, she found that his body proportions were completely wrong! Not as good as hers.
"Irene? Why don't you ask me if I'm dating Lin Yuner?" Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly. Compared to Bae Joo-hyun, isn't our Xiahou Qingyi also a goddess? Is she too old and outdated by the times?

"Senior Lin Yuna, how is it possible~ She..."

Liu Zhimin laughed awkwardly twice as she spoke. She shut up knowingly and didn't want to continue. It's not good to talk about the company's seniors behind their backs...

"She's 26? Almost 30?" Gong Cheng smiled and picked up her conversation. He had long noticed that this little fan of his...how to put it...can't control her mouth, dares to say anything. To put it nicely, she's a straightforward girl? To put it bluntly, isn't she just a chatterbox?
"Irene is only one year younger than senior Yoona, so I'm not interested in older people..." Gong Cheng curled his lips and continued speaking, which was equivalent to indirectly denying his relationship with Bae Joo-hyun.

"Oppa likes younger girls?" Liu Zhimin took a sip of coffee, his eyes flashing with interest.

"Ani." Gong Cheng waved his hand in denial, chatting with Liu Zhimin, his little fan, like a friend: "How can I put it to this kind of thing? It's hard to define it with rules and regulations. Maybe I will fall in love with someone if the feeling is right, but I haven't met them yet..."

Although the rumors circulating in the circle have slandered him as a jerk and a playboy, Gong Cheng believes that he should remain pure and innocent in front of his fans so as not to make his little fans sad!
That's the real bastard!
"So, what do you think of me, Oppa?" Liu Zhimin asked with a smile, her expression slightly anticipating. She wanted to give her own role a try, maybe it would work? Dragon of the Executive Department! Attack!

"You? You're a really good fan, Jimin." Gong Cheng smiled irrelevantly and looked at her.

As a well-behaved artist, he couldn't do something like being a fan!

"Oh! Oppa, you clearly know that's not what I'm talking about." Liu Zhimin opened her mouth, her face becoming a little anxious. She didn't believe that her husband wouldn't understand what she wanted to say.

"Practice well." Gong Cheng lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, then smiled. He was just a little brat, so what was the big deal about having big breasts? How could he possibly betray Chaeyoung and Nayeon? What about Miyeon?
Moreover, Liu Zhimin may not be able to tell whether his love for himself comes from idol worship or love between a man and a woman...

"I'm practicing hard!" Liu Zhimin deflated, supporting her delicate face with her wrists, suddenly becoming listless. She really wanted to be Akan's sister-in-law.

"Are you sad?" Gong Cheng yawned, staring at Liu Zhimin, who had been chattering a moment ago. Now, she was so quiet that it was a bit uncomfortable. He was quite worried about this little fan's personality and whether she could debut in the future. She kept talking so much, and it seemed like no one in SM was worth her attention.

What should I do?

"Nah~" Liu Zhimin glanced at his own family and muttered, "But I won't give up."

"You should practice hard first, Jimin. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Gong Cheng patted her bun. It was pretty, but her small head didn't match the huge dragon head. "Are you confident in your debut?"

Feeling the care from her family, Liu Zhimin instantly regained her vitality. She didn't think Gong Cheng would agree to her directly, but even though she knew she would be rejected, she was still a little discouraged: "xxxx and the others can debut, so of course I can debut too..."

"..." Gong Cheng curled his lips helplessly. OK! It started again!

"Really, Oppa, I heard someone in JYP is saying that Bambam is your romantic rival and is pursuing Twice's Nayeon. Seriously! To be honest, I think Bambam looks a bit weird... and Nayeon isn't that pretty either. Oppa, you wouldn't be attracted to her, would you?"

Liu Zhimin, the dragon of the executive department, became more and more excited as he spoke. He subconsciously clenched his fists on the edge of the table and knocked on the table.

"As expected of the Dragon of the Executive Division!" Gong Cheng secretly sighed. "Wow, that guy's attack power is quite strong!" "Will the rabbit-toothed woman be furious when she hears this?"
"Jimin, didn't you say there's a new trainee at your company? And he's very close to you?"

Gong Cheng quickly changed the subject. He really had no interest in knowing who in the circle had adjusted and who hadn't.

"Oh~ Min-hyeon, you're such a cute friend."

"She is also Oppa's fan, but what did she say? I asked her, but she denied it."

"You have Oppa's card in your wallet, but you're still being stubborn~"

Liu Zhimin talked about a new friend she made at SM, a new trainee who was small and thin and not as pretty as herself. "Once Minwo and I get to know each other better, can I bring her to meet Oppa later?"

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance." Gong Cheng wasn't particularly interested in Liu Zhimin's new friend. He then prepared to ask about the Tarot fan club.

Then he heard Liu Zhimin, as if he suddenly remembered something, chuckled twice, patted his wrist, and signaled him to listen carefully: "Hey Oppa, I suddenly remembered that there was a trainee in the company's male trainees who had an adjustment not long ago, kkk~"

"? Trainee?" Gong Cheng frowned, not quite understanding her humor. He knew without hesitation that this little fan was about to start talking nonsense again!
"That trainee, you know, has been adjusted, right, Oppa?" Liu Zhimin stopped laughing and stretched out her hands to gesture on her face twice. "Some people say that he was adjusted according to your template, Oppa, so I followed this trainee~"

"There were also quite a few trainees from the same period who secretly took photos of that guy! I only realized after seeing the photos, ah! That guy's face was completely adjusted based on yours, Oppa, but the adjustments are hard to describe..."

"Really?" Gong Cheng saw Liu Zhimin take out her phone and flip through the photos in the chat history in the group chat. She couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity and sat next to the little fan.

"Look at oppa! It's him! How dare he adjust it based on your face! I'm convinced! I'm so pissed!"

"Oppa, your face should be copyrighted just like your songs!"

Liu Zhimin poked the photo on the phone screen angrily: "Ah Xi! He's still so ugly even after the surgery! He doesn't look like Oppa at all! Look at his nose, Oppa, he must have had it implanted, and his eyelids were also surgically removed..."

"Ah Xi!" Gong Cheng and Liu Zhimin huddled together. "It's a beautiful face, why do you need to adjust it? It's a face that our parents worked so hard to give us, why don't we cherish it?"

"..."

Liu Zhimin blinked, looking at her husband's eyebrows so close, Oppa is the most handsome in the world! But when she heard what Gong Cheng said, she couldn't help but shrink her neck: "Oppa, you are so advanced in scolding people..."

……

June 1, afternoon.

Gong Cheng specially asked for half a day off from the crew of "Goblin". Fortunately, the crew's recent filming was not very busy because writer Kim Eun-sook wanted to slightly change the subsequent plot, so the filming task was not very rushed.

With the broadcast of "Goblin", this drama which has become a phenomenal hit in Asia has attracted the attention of a large number of viewers, and the one who has gained the biggest dividend from this drama is none other than Gong Cheng. There are even speculations from the outside world that Gong Cheng may win the grand prize in the mid-year awards with this drama.

"Pabo, why are these the only things on your birthday wish list?" Gong Cheng and Zhao Meiyan sat on the beach in Incheon. The sun was still quite warm today. They sat on a wooden bench with an interesting design.

Like a couple's chair, the middle part of the chair is designed to be slightly concave. Men and women sitting at the two ends of the bench will involuntarily slide their bodies together and hold each other tightly.

Zhao Meiyan felt the body next to her, looked out at the sea in the sun, and said with a smile: "It's quite a lot, Oppa, there are four or five in total~ You are so busy, it must be difficult for you to squeeze out time to accompany me."

"Yes, there are quite a few! But watching a movie, eating, taking a walk, catching dolls..." Gong Cheng helplessly folded up the wish list that Zhao Meiyan had compiled and stuffed it into his pocket: "You really are Pabo, so easily satisfied!"

"When will you be smarter?"

Gong Cheng held her hand in anger. He had asked this pabo how he wanted to celebrate his birthday this year. In his opinion, this was his first time to celebrate Zhao Meiyan's birthday, so he had to be serious.

But Zhao Meiyan insisted on making her own arrangements and said that she had made a very detailed plan!
It turns out that the so-called detailed plans were just things on a wish list that ordinary couples would do in a relationship.

Not smart at all, don't you know how to be a little greedy?
"I'm smart, okay, Oppa!" Zhao Meiyan pouted unconvincedly: "I'm not easily satisfied, I just think that even if I sit quietly with Oppa like this and feel the sea breeze, it's also good!"

"I don't think it's good." Gong Cheng curled his lips helplessly: "It's too cold."

As he said that, he took Zhao Meiyan's hand and prepared to leave to help this pabo complete his wish list.

"Sit a little longer, Oppa. The scenery is so beautiful, let's take a closer look." Zhao Meiyan was playing tricks on the chair. When she saw Gong Cheng sitting back next to her, she smiled and moved closer: "If you're cold, then I'll hug you, Oppa."

"Okay, I lied to you, Pabo. I'm not cold." Gong Cheng smiled helplessly and looked at Zhao Meiyan, who was hugging his waist. The little face lying in his arms, her eyes met Gong Cheng's.

"Oppa, do I look good today?" Zhao Meiyan grabbed Gong Cheng's cold hands, rubbed them hard, and blew two breaths of hot air on them, trying to help him dispel the cold.

"Is there ever a day when our Meiyan doesn't look good?" Gong Cheng frowned in mock anger, but after seeing Zhao Meiyan's crescent-shaped smiling eyes and bright and gentle gaze, he lost his temper...

"You just coax me~"

"Because you're so gullible, Pabo!" Gong Cheng averted his gaze and looked towards the beach where the waves crashed. There were not many people on the beach, but there were a few couples sitting on the edge, lovingly embracing each other in bliss. The atmosphere was as salty and humid as the passing sea breeze.

"Tsk~" Zhao Meiyan snorted twice, turned her head and looked at the scenery on the coast with him. After a while, she tightened her arms around Gong Cheng's waist and whispered, "Oppa, in fact, the less you ask for, the more you will want!"

"I'm not Pabo..."
