The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 202: Mutual Adjustment with Mingjing Nan

(This chapter has been revised)

Saturday, October 7.

After participating in MBC TV's "Music Center", Gong Cheng returned to the company and went to the basement.

The thing I had been thinking about doing, which was to buy a car, finally came to fruition. A few days ago, I asked Kim Daewoo to pick up the Land Rover Range Rover, spending a little over 3 million won, and I also helped him get the license plate.

Originally following Wu Sehun's suggestion, Gong Cheng turned his attention to supercar brands such as Ferrari, Pagani, and McLaren. He didn't care too much about what kind of ostentatious labels would be labeled by the outside world when he drove out.

But thinking about his current endorsement negotiations with Aston Martin temporarily put a stop to his supercar plans. Furthermore, after driving Wu Sehun's Mercedes-Benz SUV for a while, he decided SUVs were pretty good. Why only have one car? With so many people in his family in the future, the pure-hearted man is already imagining a future of "family happiness."

This beautiful black Land Rover with a fastback is perfect for transportation. As for the supercar, don't worry about it for now. I'll wait until I reach an agreement with Aston Martin...

"Just like Aston Martin, it suits you very well." Jin Dae-woo handed over the car keys and said with a smile. He felt that if the brand concept of Aston Martin was the coexistence of elegance and violence, then the Land Rover behind it was tough and upright.

"As for the house, I've got your eye on it. There's a high-end villa near Cheongdam-dong that meets your requirements. It has one unit per floor, for a total of six. It's on the top floor, a large flat on the sixth floor. The one that meets your requirements has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, and it's priced at 53 billion won."

"Also, near Seongan-dong in Gangnam District, there's a three-story luxury apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It fits the type of apartment you're looking for for your uncle and aunt. The price is..."

"As for these two properties, you can go and take a look when you have time. The owner is ready to sign the contract at any time. I've asked a friend to keep an eye on them for you."

Jin Dae-woo said this, leaning against the classic flat air intake grille of the Land Rover and lighting a cigarette. He felt that as an agent, he was almost becoming the nanny of the boy in front of him, but he also enjoyed it.

With his growing belly and generous bonuses, especially this year, he followed Gong Cheng to make several small investments. Although it was extra income, he really made a lot of money.

"As for the one in Cheongdam-dong, I'll take some time to look at it after tomorrow's promotions. If it's suitable, we'll arrange the contract as soon as possible." Gong Cheng rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "As for the apartment I showed my parents, I'll go home in a couple of days on my day off."

He sighed, opened the car door and got in, "Brother, you smoke first, then get in the car and accompany me to test drive the car. Let's go for a drive around Jiangnan."

Jin Dayu nodded and sucked on the cigarette butt slowly.

Gong Cheng fastened his seatbelt, his hands on the steering wheel, and decided he needed to find a way to get his adoptive parents to accompany him to look at houses so he could buy the apartment. He had made a lot of money since his debut.

In the past, he had company cars to pick him up and drop him off, and all kinds of high-end clothing brands were delivered to his door. Plus, he was extremely busy every day, so he didn't spend much money. What little money he had, he invested in a few projects and bought some stocks.

So far, it seems that his investment vision in his side business is very good and he is making money.

But buying a car and an apartment were essential, so Gong Cheng had Jin Dayu look out for larger, more private apartments nearby. As for the high-end apartment, he wanted to buy it in his adoptive parents' name and register it under their name.

It's not because they raised me and I'm grateful for that, but because they are family. How can a son feel at ease if he makes a lot of money and lives in a luxury villa while letting his parents stay in that 20-30-year-old apartment building? It will always make him feel uncomfortable.

Sadness is one thing, but another is that people, whether it's for making money or pursuing their dreams, always need some motivation. Before his debut, his seriously ill adoptive father was his motivation to work and study.

Now that he's made a lot of money and has no one to share his joy with, what's the point? He might as well not debut and just stay in that old apartment building with his adoptive parents like before. At least the family is together.

But now, I am getting busier and busier, and I just hope that they are well, healthy, live a long life, and have no worries about food and clothing.

Gong Cheng would not force his adoptive parents to move out of Yeongdeungpo. He also wanted to return to his home in Yeongdeungpo, sit in his adoptive father's study, play the old dusty piano, and bask in the sun.

But this apartment and the future gift he would give them were gifts from his son, and he hoped they would accept them and be proud of them. Even if the apartment was left there gathering dust, he wouldn't care.

"What are you thinking about?" Jin Dayu got in the car, took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. Looking at Gong Cheng's dazed expression, he asked.

Gong Cheng stepped on the accelerator, smiling wryly as he asked the middle-aged man beside him for advice. "Brother, what should I do if my parents don't want to accept the house I gave them?"

The black Land Rover rushed out of the basement and roared into the traffic flow of Jiangnan District.

"I don't know either. When I was your age, how could I afford to buy a luxury apartment for my parents?" Jin Dae-woo opened the car window, and the violent wind rushed into the car. He leaned on the passenger seat with a nostalgic look on his face.
"My brother had just graduated from college and entered the workforce. His first job wasn't going well. He couldn't even pay the rent and had to rely on his parents for support. Oh my god..."

Jin Dayu raised his head, wrinkled his nose, and his eyes became fiercer in the wind blowing through the window. He subconsciously wanted to reach for the cigarette in his pocket, but looked at Gong Cheng, who had quit smoking long ago, and stopped.

"Go ahead, brother, it's okay." Gong Cheng caught a glimpse of Jin Dayu's reddened eyes, his brow furrowed. His mother had passed away last year from a serious illness; he'd visited her once and spent a fortune on surgery, but it hadn't worked.

Jin Dayu bit the cigarette holder, and the flame from the windproof lighter fluttered like a lonely ghost, emitting a faint blue fire... He took a deep puff and turned to stare at the boy who was only in his early 20s and had achieved success.

Sadly, after looking for a long time, he didn't see any trace of his youthful appearance. Even when they first met under the JYP building last year, this young and unruly boy was much more carefree and happy than when he was young.

"Xiao Cheng, I don't know if your uncle and aunt will accept the gifts you give them, but you must spend more time with them during your free time. You are an artist, and when you are busy, you fly all over the world. When you receive a lot of love, don't forget their love..."

Kim Dae-woo had the look of a veteran, his strong elbows wrapped around the car window, the ashes from his cigarette blown into pieces by the wind and landing on his latest Givenchy short-sleeved shirt, making him look disheveled.

"Yes, remember it, brother." Gong Cheng nodded seriously. A hoarse and choked voice sounded in his ears, filled with regret and earnestness. He guessed that this middle-aged uncle might be trying hard to hold back his tears?
No, as far as he knew, the corners of this guy's lips, where he was holding a cigarette holder, must be filled with hot, salty tears.

Gong Cheng drove without looking away, unwilling to turn his head to look.

He thought of the 99 classic movie "Fight Club" and tampered with it with his middle school thinking.

No man would want another man to see his vulnerability. This is the first rule.

As Lu Feng's thoughts drifted, Gong Cheng suddenly thought of a good way to make his adoptive parents accept his feelings!
Let Zhao Meiyan's pabo go home with him, and the four of them will go house hunting together!

Would Pabo's adoptive parents listen to her? Hadn't they already privately decided that she was...

……

The next day, SBS "Inkigayo",

"The winner is——the impeccable Bombardment Meteor!"

"..."

The seven members of Bombardment Meteor stood on a stage dappled with lights, streamers fluttering. Three days of performances marked the end of their second album promotions. Behind them, groups like Led Baby, EXO, BLACKPINK, and BTS forced smiles...

Impeccable? Their absolute music source and album sales points have almost crushed them exponentially.

"Encore~ Encore~"

"Bombardment Meteor!!!"

"..."

Gong Cheng's frivolous smile was reflected on the big screen. The world of spotlights was magical. On the way to work outside the building, many K-pop fans were holding banners, protesting for them to get out!

In the audience, someone was screaming hoarsely for the encore.

The four members of BLACKPINK stood next to the Pao Tuan. Kim Ji-soo stared at the trophy in Wang Jiaer's hand with envy. It's not that they haven't won it before, but they got very few. What's more important is that including this time, they have come back twice since their debut and both times they have bumped into the Pao Tuan.

And then, nothing happened...it was smashed to pieces.

These people are like pirates in the Age of Discovery. They will not come ashore until they have plundered all the treasures and gold coins in the deep sea.

Gong Cheng stood beside Jin Zhixiu, glancing down at her from the corner of his eyes, his lips pursed, looking unhappy. "Do you really want one?"

"Which group doesn't want to win first place? It's an honor!" Bae Joo-hyun's words made Gong Cheng glance down a little more.

She sighed imperceptibly amid the cheering crowd. Not to mention the little groups behind her who were frantically tiptoeing to rub the camera, even the senior EXO members standing in the second row had their fog of previous years shattered by these seven figures under the spotlight, widening the gap.

"Joo Hyun, will you be happy if you get first place?" Gong Cheng asked with a chuckle when he heard her sigh.

Jin Zhixiu and Park Caiying raised their eyebrows. She couldn't help but put her hand over her mouth and cursed softly, "Gong Cheng, are you sick?"

"Don't show off, Gong Cheng oppa." Park Chae-young muttered speechlessly, but still managed her expression by forcing a smile in front of the camera, as if she was celebrating for Bombardment Meteor, who won the first place again.

"Isn't this just rubbing salt into someone's wounds?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't say anything, feeling helpless.

This guy has a really mean mouth! She remembered clearly that he had never said anything nice to her, but he still cared about her in the hospital. She just wondered if he was like this to other girls too?
"Encore~ Encore~"

The calls for an encore grew louder from the audience. After Park Jae-bum and Lim Young-woong had a meeting with the staff in the waiting area, they immediately went on stage. They decided to perform "MIC Drop" to end their promotional tour.

The stage lights gradually went out, and more than a dozen groups, large and small, prepared to leave the stage and hand it over to Bombardment Meteor.

Gong Cheng looked at the members wearing baseball caps of various colors. During the performance just now, he threw his own cap to the fans in the audience. He never expected that there would be an encore stage.

Seeing the members wearing their baseball caps backwards, Gong Cheng quickly ran over to the Red Velvet members who had just left the stage.

Pei Zhuxuan and her friends chose to wear baseball caps for their performance today. "Hyunna, wait a minute"

Gong Cheng looked at Pei Zhuxuan's short legs and hips wiggling under the stage. She walked quite fast...

"Why did you come down? Aren't we going to have an encore performance?" Bae Joo-hyun looked up at the other six people who were ready on the dim stage, her tone was full of surprise. What happened?

"Yes, let me lend you something."

Hearing Gong Cheng's words, EXO and BLACKPINK stopped and looked back curiously, only to see his tall figure standing in front of Bae Joo-hyun. The height difference between the two handsome guys was quite big.

"Lend me your hat." Gong Cheng listened to the prelude of "MIC Drop" ringing in his ears, "Thank you."

He didn't care about that. He pinched the pink brim of Pei Zhuxuan's baseball cap and put it on his own head. He turned around and ran back to the stage. But when he got to his own station, Gong Cheng took off the slightly loose baseball cap and felt that he had borrowed it from the wrong person.

Oh my god, why is it so loose...

"..."

Amidst screams and cheers, Bombardment Meteor began their encore stage.

"..."

……

This morning, a shower fell in Seoul, coming and going as quickly as the delicate Fuliji. By noon, as the sun rose to its highest point, the blazing sun was tinged with the moisture of a morning drizzle, and the air was crisp and refreshing.

Gong Cheng returned to the dormitory after the SBS "Inkigayo" ended. In the next two days, according to the schedule, Bombardment Meteor will have a short break before heading to California.

And Twice finally had a short three-day break amidst their busy practice and comeback.

The members shared their holiday life in the group chat of Twice. Tzuyu kept talking about her mother coming to Seoul to accompany her, and Yu Jeongyeon returned to the orchard planted by her father, and shouted that she wanted to bring back some peaches grown by her family.

The Neon Line group returned to Neon. Son Chaeyoung, Kim Dahyun, and Park Jihyo each went back to their respective homes to spend a short time with their families.

"Dad, can I take you home tomorrow?" Gong Cheng sat at the dining table and lowered his head to eat the loving lunch box that Lin Nayeon made for him. In fact, the taste was just average, but it would get a little better every time he ate it.

"Okay." Lin Nayeon yawned as she sat on the sofa. The members in the dormitory had been catching flights or going home since this morning. She and Son Chaeyoung both lived in Seoul, in Gangdong District.

It’s not very far, so she wants to spend the day with her boyfriend and go back to visit her mother tomorrow morning. But after she goes back, she will probably miss her boyfriend again, right?

"Big star, let's go out together later, and then we'll go buy some food. What do you want to eat tonight?" Gong Cheng picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth, then took the dinner plate and went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes quickly.

When Lin Nayeon heard that he was going out, she stood up and opened her suitcase in the living room.

She almost forgot that she hadn't worn the couple outfits she bought while shopping two days ago. It was a rare day off, so whether she was going to the beach or hiking, wouldn't it be more lively if she wore couple outfits?

After rummaging through some clothes, Lin Nayeon went into Gong Cheng's bedroom carrying the clothes she was going to wear.

"Where are we going, man? The beach or somewhere else?" After changing her clothes, Lin Nayeon looked at Gong Cheng who came in and asked with a smile showing her rabbit teeth, with anticipation in her eyes.

"Want to go to the beach? I'll take you there when it gets dark." Gong Cheng smiled and pinched her face. He had an appointment with the owner of the large flat in Cheongdam-dong to view the house in the afternoon, but the owner was in the United States, so they agreed that if he was satisfied with the house, he would come back from the United States and start signing the contract.

It just so happened that these two days were his and Twice's days off, so he thought of taking his mother to have a look, and if it was suitable, he would go.

My daughter can live there from now on, enjoying an undisturbed world of their own. And this dormitory room is just for Little Tiger and him, just for the two of them. What if they bump into each other someday? How awkward it would be for them! But then I think about the fact that there are also people like Minatozaki Sana and Little Penguin vying for the position.

Gong Cheng thinks that he should continue to work hard to make money! A cunning rabbit has three burrows!
At the urging of Rabbit's mother, Gong Cheng changed into the couple's outfit prepared for him by Lin Nayeon.

The two stood in front of the mirror, Nayeon holding up her phone and snapping a number of photos. In the sunlight, they both wore matching white vertically striped shirts and light gray jeans. The bunny idol wore orange lipstick, sunglasses draped over her flared bunny teeth, and a mint green knitted vest beneath her open shirt. Gong Cheng stood behind her, his hands resting on her exposed abs beneath the top, smiling quietly.

I don't know why, but Gong Cheng always feels that the happier he is, the more uneasy he becomes...

……

After going out, Lin Nayeon fastened her seat belt obediently and sat in the passenger seat, but before she passed a traffic light, she couldn't help laughing.

She took out a gadget she had bought not long ago from her handbag. It was a doll that could be attached to the car, and she hung the attachment tray in front of the passenger seat.

She specifically chose a position that would not affect Gong Cheng's driving vision. On the black tray, a pink rabbit doll stood there with its hands on its hips, grinning with its rabbit teeth showing, and carrying a yellow carrot on its back!
"A good-looking superstar." After seeing this, Gong Cheng couldn't help laughing while turning the steering wheel.

"This isn't just for decoration, hehe!" Lin Nayeon reached out and teased the doll's bunny face twice, muttering with a smile in her eyes, "Six hundred million won, six hundred million won..."

"Oh, you still remember?" Gong Cheng laughed even louder.

"So, this little rabbit is standing here to claim its sovereignty! See? The carrot behind it is actually a big sword! If there's another woman sitting in this position!" Lin Nayeon snorted coldly, crossing her arms across her chest. The wind from the window messed up her hair. Then she turned her head fiercely and said to Gong Cheng with a narrowed smile, "I'll chop her to pieces!"

"What about me? A big star?" Gong Cheng felt inexplicably scared and asked tentatively.

"Your words? I love you, my dear~ Hehe~ Saranghei~" Lin Nayeon leaned her head on her hand and stared at Gong Cheng who was driving. "I can't bear to chop you into pieces, so I'll just stab you!"

"Whether he lives or dies depends on how sad I am!"

"Are you so cruel, big star?" Gong Cheng asked in feigned fear under Lin Nayeon's gentle gaze, the wind blowing through his thick black hair and cheeks.

"Yes, because I gave you everything."

Lin Nayeon thought that it would be great if this car could run on the road by itself, with the four rolling wheels like four horse hooves, galloping towards the sun on the asphalt road, and the luxurious roof like the carriage's shed. With such romantic words, she and he should kiss in the carriage, with the sunlight shining on the corners of their lips and the tips of their tongues.

Unfortunately, the Land Rover is not a big tiger. It can run on its own. Safety is the most important thing! She also wants to walk with the man beside her for the rest of her life, happily and healthily.

Gong Cheng's heart was a little messy, even messier than his hair messed up by the wind!

He will not let down his rabbit father!

Immediately, Gong Cheng stopped his wild thoughts and stopped the car in front of a high-end villa in Cheongdam-dong. "We've arrived at the big star."

Lin Nayeon jumped out of the car and asked, "What are you doing here, man~"

She was a little confused. The six-story luxury villa in front of her had a gate made of thick solid wood. Behind it was a quiet and secluded courtyard with flower beds and cobblestone paths. At the end on the left was a spacious garage.

The garage door is made of intelligent glass material, which can clearly reflect the outline of the parked vehicles inside.

Gong Cheng pressed the elevator button, took Lin Nayeon's hand, and went straight to the 6th floor. After entering the password given by the landlord, the two pushed open the door to the 6th floor.

"The owner told me that there's an underground garage right under our feet, but it's not very big. However, we don't have to enter the elevator from the yard. We can take the elevator directly from the basement to the 6th floor. It provides good privacy." Gong Cheng explained the detailed information about the property.

Stepping into the large flat, you will find the spacious space. The original owner's decoration style is more European, and the circular floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room reflect the sunset outside the window.

"You bought it?" Lin Nayeon grinned, too shocked to speak.

How much would that cost? After Twice's breakout performance last year, many members considered buying property in Seoul. She'd accompanied them on a few property viewings, but which member went straight for a large apartment? Aren't they all high-end apartments?
"Inside." Gong Cheng chuckled, took off his baseball cap, and pulled her into the living room to examine her.

Jin Dae-woo was right. It was the perfect apartment for him: floor-to-ceiling windows, ample space, privacy, plenty of sunlight, good ventilation, and a good base. There was even a small swimming pool and a few beach chairs on the balcony.

"We haven't signed the contract yet, but I wanted to show you around. If it's suitable, we'll take you here." He gazed at the sunflower painting on the living room wall and said, "It's really nice, but the European-style decoration won't do."

"Maybe we need to find a renovation company to redecorate the house. What do you think of a minimalist style? We can get a carpet by the sofa in the living room, but wooden floors are better and more comfortable to walk on."

"How much does this cost?" Lin Nayeon pulled his arm a little hesitantly.

"53 billion won." Gong Cheng said casually, and excitedly took her for a stroll around the house, looking at all 5 rooms and 4 bathrooms.

"Ani, I know you make a lot of money, but isn't it too... extravagant for two people to live in such a big house?" After looking around, Lin Nayeon pulled him to sit on the sofa, "How about I take you to look at a smaller house sometime? It would be nice too!"

She was very worried that her boyfriend would spend money recklessly. She knew that he was good at making money. After all, he was called a "walking money printing machine" by the people. But she still hoped that he could spend money in a planned way. This was too extravagant. He had only been in the industry for a year.

Is your boyfriend a moonlighter?
"Let's move to a smaller house. It won't be too late to move to a bigger one in two years." Lin Nayeon whispered her thoughts. She and Gong Cheng were not together to become rich wives.

She can also make money. We can buy a small apartment first, and then move to a bigger house together in two years. After a few more years, when she is less active, we can move to an even bigger house. After all, we will have a baby in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Nayeon blushed, "How about we leave? This house is too expensive. Should we look for something else?"

But after she said this, the rabbit girl regretted it a little. In her eyes, the red light of the sunset reflected on Gong Cheng's smiling eyebrows. It was not a question of whether it looked good or not, but she realized that the man was really happy, happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Big star, don't you think it's beautiful to sit here and watch the sunset?" Gong Cheng answered irrelevantly, gazing at the sunset outside the window, which was a brilliant orange and red. "I just fell in love with this place, just like when I first saw you downstairs of the company last year."

He remembered Wu Sehun once drunkenly telling him that when he bought his first sports car, a Ferrari, the first thing he did was drive it home and take his mother for a spin on the Seoul Expressway. He said it felt great! Having someone to share your joy with.

But for Gong Cheng, the success and fame that Jin Dae-woo and his friends talked about didn't mean much to him. He was somewhat numb to the spotlight and the stage. But sitting here with the bunny girl and watching the sunset, Gong Cheng was very happy. He wanted to share this joy with the big star.

"Ha, at that time you were squatting there crying, and your voice could be heard from far away. I was passing by with a cigarette between my teeth, and I was thinking, what's the point of crying? Really..."

Lin Nayeon listened to him quietly, and couldn't help but grin, "So, you liked me back then?"

"Yes, I didn't know at first, but I figured it out later." Gong Cheng smiled and pulled her up to the open-air balcony. They lay on the glass fence, seeming to be closer to the sunset in the sky.

"So, big star, I don't believe in love that grows over time. I fell in love with you at first sight. You cried a little silly and cute back then, like the classic encumbered girl in a novel. Maybe that's just my style, haha~"

"Ah! Gong Cheng! If you keep saying that, I'll ignore you!"

"Let's buy this place, big star. Of course I know you have given me everything, so I want to give you something too. Don't refuse." Gong Cheng recalled what Lin Nayeon said to him in the car and couldn't help but say seriously.

He took relationships seriously, and what he just said was true, but he subconsciously rejected the story about the "Rabbit Lady" in the car who killed her rival with a carrot and stabbed him.

He had thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what to do when the day finally came. Should he kneel down and yell, "Lady, spare my life! I'll never do it again?" or "I, Gong Cheng, will never surrender until I die." "Baby, there won't be a next time..."

Who cares! We'll talk about it when the day comes. Just stab him to death!
Lin Nayeon looked at the sunset on the cheek of the man next to her, was silent for a long time, and nodded.

She just didn't want her boyfriend to spend so much money to buy a house that he would never use on a regular basis. Even if he did use it, how could the two of them possibly live in a house with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms?

But, let him be happy!
After figuring this out, Nayeon laughed, "How do you want to decorate the place, dear? How about I hire someone to do it? But I have to pay for it, or I won't move in!"

She grinned with her rabbit teeth, her eyes bright and determined.

"I'll listen to you." Gong Cheng felt a little thirsty, so he lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee in her hand.

"..."

……

On the last day of July, Gong Cheng took Zhao Meiyan back to Yongdeungpu District.

After lunch, he drove his adoptive parents and Zhao Meiyan to the apartment he liked in Seongan-dong, Gangnam District. After Gong Cheng's persuasion and Zhao Meiyan's indirect guerrilla tactics, they finally finalized the apartment deal.

night.

Zhao Meiyan struggled for a long time, "Oppa, am I good? Am I awesome~"

"Great!" He couldn't help but turn over.

Zhao Meiyan hugged his neck, blushing and panting, "Ani, that's not what I meant, Oppa! You're so mean!"

As she spoke, she hooked her white legs around Gong Chenggong's waist and tightened them.

“Ah~ hum~
I'm talking about looking at apartments!"

"I know, so I'm rewarding you?"

"Snapped!"

Zhao Meiyan raised her fair neck, sweating profusely. When she heard his words, she couldn't help but reach out and slap him on the shoulder. She let out a coquettish cry and then hummed.

Then the legs wrapped around his waist loosened and fell down...

"Don't bite me, Oppa~ Please~ Give me a break, I'll bite you for a while~ aaa!"

"..."

……

April 8th, the last day of the holiday.

Gong Cheng returned to the dormitory from Zhao Meiyan's house. As soon as he entered the door, he changed into the pajamas and pants that Lin Nayeon bought for him. They were summer styles and were more comfortable and cool.

He was thinking about the members of Twice, who would probably be back one after another today, and they might even have dinner together in the evening.

Then, Gong Cheng glanced at the itinerary sent by Jin Dae-woo. He had a flight to California on the 7th and was expected to stay for about half a month. He might not be back until the third volume of the series was released.

He turned off his phone, stared at the ceiling and thought for a while. After the release of the third album in the series, most of his work this year was finished, and he just had to wait for next year's Asia Tour and World Tour.

According to Park Jin-young, in the second half of the year, he will at most release a few singles and participate in two variety shows. If he really can't stay idle, he can also be arranged to make a solo comeback.

However, Gong Cheng decisively refused. He had been exhausted for over half a year, so what was the point of returning? Besides, according to his guess, after the release of the third series, LV and Burberry would probably make a decision.

By then, I will have to make a lot of trips just to shoot advertisements for magazines and brands.

But what Gong Cheng is most looking forward to right now is the release of the third album in the series. He has high hopes for this album, and whether Bombardment Meteor can become an international sensation depends on this album.

Once successful, those shitty domestic media should shut up! When he returns to Seoul, the first thing he should do is give the media an international gesture!
"Boom boom boom!"

A knock on the door interrupted Gong Cheng's thoughts. He got up to open the door and saw Ming Jingnan standing at the door with a blue suitcase.

"You're back so early?" Gong Cheng asked in surprise, taking her suitcase. "Why don't you leave it in the dormitory?"

"The members haven't left yet, so I didn't open the door and went in." Mingjing Nan kicked off her shoes naturally. "There are game consoles and laptops in the suitcase. It's too troublesome to go back and forth to get them, so I just dragged them here."

As she said that, she walked to the sofa, quickly took off her socks, crumpled them into a ball and tried to find a place to put them, and then she saw Gong Cheng staring at her.

Mingjing Nan stuffed the socks in his hand into his trouser pocket with some embarrassment, "I won't let you smell them!"

"Are you crazy? Mina-chan! Who would smell your stinky socks? I haven't even come to settle with you for what happened in Tokyo last time!" Gong Cheng almost covered his face and jumped up and down, shouting, "I didn't do that, I didn't do that!"

This is simply blatant slander!

I really don't know what happened to the little penguin? All the erotic plots!

"Haha, how do you know it stinks if you haven't smelled it?" Mingjing Nan lay comfortably on the sofa. For some reason, she felt much more comfortable being alone with him than being with the other members.

The little penguin glanced at him like a master and said, "Want to play some CSGO?"

"It's all right, but I have to eat first." Although he fought with Zhao Meiyan's pabo all night last night, he hasn't eaten much since the whole night.

"Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together."

As he spoke, he dug out the little penguin's cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them on the floor at the edge of the living room carpet. "It's best to wear them after you get out of the carpet. It's not good for your health."

Ming Jingnan nodded. This scene before his eyes had happened over and over again countless times.

But she just didn't learn her lesson and didn't want to wear it! Anyway, there would always be someone following her with slippers in hand, like a little pony!
"The main thing is that I feel for Mina-chan, you have sweaty feet, which easily scratches the floor, making it very troublesome to clean." Gong Cheng said with a smile, and quickly took out two cans of sparkling water from the refrigerator, throwing one over to soothe the little penguin's angry expression.

"Hehe, you don't know if I have sweaty feet? Nonsense!" Ming Jingnan glared at him and couldn't help but ask bluntly, "When have you ever touched someone with sweaty feet?"

This made Gong Cheng feel awkward. "Have I ever touched it?"

How can you make such a mistake?

Mingjing Nan stood up angrily on the carpet, took out the ball of white socks from his trouser pocket, and smashed it hard on Gong Cheng's face.

She has always had good aim. She was just as quick and accurate when she tossed a coin at Yonsei University not long ago.

"You little thief who dares not admit his crime!"

"..." Gong Cheng caught the sock that slipped from his face and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, "Confiscate it!"

Mingjing Nan stared at him in astonishment. How could this man so confidently come up with such a shameless excuse for such a thing? "Bt!"

……

"How long does it take you to cook?"

Ming Jingnan walked into the kitchen, went to the pot with white smoke and oil, looked at the food made by Gong Cheng, and asked curiously.

She always thought that this little thief was even more handsome when he was wearing an apron while cooking! How could she describe how handsome he was in the past! If they were not friends with him, strangers would find it difficult to get close to him because he was a perfect person.

But waving the spatula would make Ming Jingnan feel that he was more real, more perfect than imperfect.

"About half an hour. It takes some time to steam rice, but stir-frying is quick." Gong Cheng took the kitchen knife and showed off his superb knife skills, cutting the potatoes into thin strips.

After finishing the installation, he turned around and saw that Ming Jingnan hadn't left yet. He couldn't help but say, "Go out quickly. We're going to stir-fry some meat and there will be a lot of smoke. Otherwise, your food won't smell good."

"Have you secretly smelled my scent?" Ming Jingnan stared at him intently, with a teasing smile on his cold face.

Gong Cheng finally realized why he spoke the truth subconsciously.

"Oh, you smell too much perfume."

His face felt hot, as if he had been labeled as something bad. Besides being handsome, kind, and righteous, he was also accused of having a foot fetish and secretly smelling other people's scents...

"Little thief, what are you feeling guilty about?" Ming Jingnan kept calling her a little thief, and the more he called her, the more comfortable it became! Instructing Caiying to steal his pajamas to wear, isn't this a little thief?

However, she blushed and decided to give Gong Cheng some face, "Let me use your shower room. I'm sweating after getting off the plane. I need a shower."

"Then hurry up, otherwise the food will be cold by the time it's ready." Gong Cheng nodded, not surprised.

In Twice's old and small dormitory, nine people have to line up according to their age to wash up before work and shower after get off work every day. Since Twice expanded to a full team of 10 people, some smart ones would go to his dormitory in pairs to wash up.

His dormitory at least has two bathrooms, showers, etc. However, except for the little tiger and the rabbit girl, other members only need to take a shower when they come instead of just washing their faces and brushing their teeth.

One of them would go outside to chat about gossip, play games and watch TV with Gong Cheng, while the other one would wash first, and then take over after coming out.

Doesn't this clearly show that you don't trust his character?

Gong Cheng was a little sad about this, but it was understandable. Girls, after all, should protect themselves just like boys!

……

Half an hour later, Gong Cheng yawned and brought the food to the table. He couldn't help but shout, "Mina-chan, are you ready? Otherwise, I won't wait for you. I'm really hungry!"

"Okay, okay!" Nagai Nanban opened the locked bedroom door of Gong Cheng. A small blue towel was wrapped on his head, covering his wet hair.

She changed into a black silk nightgown, which made Gong Cheng stand up instantly. "Did you search my closet?"

"Did you hide the birthday present I gave you in the closet?" Ming Jingnan smiled, ignored his gaze, and sat down on the chair at the dining table.

Gong Cheng swore he couldn't mistake the style of this nightgown. It was made of black silk, with white lace trimmings at the hems. A few months ago, he received this nightgown as a birthday gift from the little penguin.

"I wouldn't go through other people's things. This is a new pair I bought, the same style." Ming Jingnan held the chopsticks and glanced at him sideways. "But I didn't expect you to hide the gift I gave you in the closet?"

"Chaeyoung is so careless, haven't you seen it?"

"Knock, knock, knock!" Before Gong Cheng could say anything, there was a knock on the door behind him, and a familiar baby voice came from outside the door, "Uyo Oppa~ I'm coming~"

Ming Jingnan's aloofness disappeared in an instant. He quickly pulled his legs from the chair and stood up in a panic. He looked at Gong Cheng with a panicked look as if saying, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"..." Gong Cheng was speechless. What's with that expression? Is it like we're having an affair?
He was about to get up to open the door, but he saw the little penguin in front of him had already carried his own bowl and chopsticks from the dining table, went into his bedroom, quickly opened the wardrobe, and hid himself inside.

Gong Cheng stared at the little penguin's actions in amazement, "..."

No, buddy! You look so experienced! No! What the hell are you hiding? We're both innocent! Big brother, the more you hide, the harder it will be to explain yourself once you get caught!
The problem is, your huge suitcase is still in the living room! Your shoes and socks! Well, the socks are still in Gong Cheng's trouser pocket!

"Chaeyoung, please wait a moment."

"Hurry up, oppa, I'm so tired..." The little tiger's baby voice was full of coquettishness.

At this point, Gong Cheng could only hurriedly run into the bedroom, swish open the closet door, and look at Ming Jingnan, "Come out quickly! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it!"

"How can I explain it if I don't go out? Look at me, I just took a shower. What do you think Chaeyoung will think?" Ming Jingnan squatted in the three-dimensional wardrobe. She pushed Gong Cheng's suit and clothes to the side, leaving a small space.

The little penguin was holding a small blue porcelain bowl, holding chopsticks, with rice grains left in the corners of his mouth...

"When Chaeyoung comes, you take her out for a while, and I'll take the opportunity to run away, okay?" Mingjingnan pulled up the strap that had slipped off her shoulder and proposed a solution.

Gong Cheng slammed the wardrobe door shut. What a sin!
What's going on!
Mingjing Nan pushed the closet door open with her foot, opening it a crack as she looked at Gong Cheng, who was helpless. She couldn't help but chuckle. She was indeed worried that Chaeyoung would misunderstand her, but she also wanted to see what the two of them were doing.

Then he saw Gong Cheng hurriedly carrying her suitcase to the bedroom and stuffing the clothes she had thrown on the bed while taking a shower into the suitcase one by one.

Black short-sleeved shirt, baseball cap, jeans, sun protection clothing,

Gong Cheng looked at the white bra in his hand, "..."

It was stuffed forcefully into the suitcase.

In the closet, watching this scene, Ming Jingnan's cheeks were burning. She had just finished taking a shower, but Gong Cheng rushed her so hard that she hadn't had time to clean up. She changed into clean underwear and nightgown and went to eat. Thinking of this, she looked at the last piece of clothing on the black sheets.

The color blends in with the sheets and quilt covers, just a small piece of... panties.

Gong Cheng's mouth twitched as he stuffed the black lace panties in his hand into the box.

He finally understood that if the little tiger saw these things, he would definitely slap himself hard in the face!
How can this be explained clearly?
Gong Cheng quickly stuffed the suitcase under the bed and threw even the little penguin's shoes in.

Ming Jingnan looked at all this and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

……

"Oppa~ What are you doing? Why are you so slow?"

Sun Caiying walked into the living room with a suitcase and a smile on her face, and asked with some doubt in her heart.

"Oh, Ani, I just finished cooking, but I seem to be sick and feel a little nauseous. I wanted to vomit in the bathroom but couldn't. I adjusted myself for a while, but I feel much better now." Gong Cheng made up an excuse, not expecting the little tiger to believe it. Anyway, he just had to get rid of the matter as soon as possible!

If there really was something going on between him and the little penguin, Gong Cheng wouldn't be so panicked, but there was nothing!

"It's a little hot? Do you have a fever?" Sun Caiying was held in his arms, and she jumped around on him like a little raccoon climbing a tree, then reached out and touched his forehead and hot face.

Then, she jumped down, took Gong Cheng's wrist and walked towards the bedroom, muttering, "I remember I bought you some medicine for colds and fevers last time. I'll go look for it for you. It should be in the storage cabinet next to the bed."

"I'm really fine, Chaeyoung."

"Even if you're fine, you still have to take medicine. Your forehead is so hot, Oppa. I've only been away for a few days, and you don't take good care of yourself?" Sun Caiying said in a very scolding voice and pushed open the bedroom door.

Then she pushed Gong Cheng onto the bed, squatted down and went to the cabinet beside the bed, rummaging through the drawers and found the cold medicine.

The brown bottle contained liquid medicine. Chaeyoung took out a straw and inserted it into the bottle. She passed it to Gong Cheng's mouth and said, "Oppa, drink the medicine~"

"I'm really fine. Chaeyoung is much better now. And this medicine is too bitter." Gong Cheng stared at the small medicine bottle in front of him. This medicine is really the bitterest medicine he has ever drunk since he was a child. It's not really bitter, it's just very difficult to drink.

However, under the concerned gaze of the little tiger, he couldn't bear to refuse and started to drink by biting the straw.

After throwing the medicine bottle into the trash can, Son Chaeyoung sat on his legs with a smile, grinning and asking, "Is it bitter, Oppa?"

Gong Cheng frowned and nodded. It was very unpalatable.

Sun Caiying thought of a good idea with her active mind. She had a lollipop in her mouth.

So she sat on Gong Cheng's lap, holding his head, lowered her head and kissed him, first touching the corner of his lips that were bitter from being soaked in medicine.

The whimpering little baby voice:
"It won't be so hard this way, right, Oppa?"

She hooked her arms around Gong Cheng's neck and kissed him fiercely. Her mouth was sweet and tasted like strawberry, and the tip of her tongue was still curled with a piece of crushed candy...

Ming Jingnan was curled up in the closet, holding the dishes and chopsticks. Through the closet grille at the bottom, he looked at the two people in front of him who were completely absorbed in the process, blushing, "..."
