The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 273 Scheming Peach, You're So Clumsy!
May 27th...

After a three-day Nissan concert, Makoto Miyamoto returned to Seoul after nearly two weeks... along with the members of Bombardment Meteor.

The tour in Japan has two stops: Tokyo Dome and Yokohama Nissan. The remaining stops will be held in early June. Tickets for the concerts were sold out by the end of last month. The venues include Kyocera Dome in Osaka's Nishi Ward, Yahuoku Dome in Fukuoka, Nagoya Dome, and Sapporo Dome in Hokkaido.

With four more concerts remaining, the schedule for next month is almost full, so these few days are a rare chance for everyone to catch their breath.

"How about we go to Jeju Island for a couple of days?" Jay Park suggested from his van, which was driving on a road in Seoul.

Gong Cheng scrolled through the chat history on his phone and casually said, "You guys go ahead, I'm going back to Jiangdong to change cars, I need to go to Gaoyang..."

After sending a few messages to Zhao Meiyan's boyfriend, he leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, and then pulled back the dark curtains of the van. He glanced at the glaring sunlight outside; he'd been quite busy these past few days back in Seoul…

I just arranged to meet up with that papo and Kim Jisoo in the next few days. Since her debut at the beginning of the month, Cho Miyeon has been doing almost nothing but commercial performances. After all, she's a newcomer and needs exposure. And being Tarot's ex-girlfriend has put a lot of pressure on her, but it has also brought her more attention.

In short, their career has been developing quite well since their debut...

As for TWICE, he hasn't told the girls that he's returned to Seoul yet, to give them a surprise?
……

The van dropped Gong Cheng off at his dormitory in Jiangdong District. He went back, took a shower, changed into some casual clothes, and casually took a pink baseball cap from the dressing room. It seemed to be borrowed from Xiao Xuanxuan in Daegu sometime last year or the year before…

I'm not planning to pay it back...

Ryder and the others are still stuck in Japan, where their debut plans are going very well. However, he suspects that their debut there won't make much of a splash. He's worried that Daegu's Xiaoxuanxuan will be heartbroken, so his relationship with her has progressed rapidly these past few days...

If your career isn't going well, you still need someone to rely on in your love life, right?
Master Gong is incredibly considerate, never letting women feel sad or upset. He's impeccable when it comes to taking care of women—a true gentleman!

"Shu~"

Gong Cheng drew back the curtains of the master bedroom, intending to let the sunlight in to air out the sheets. He then plopped down on the bed, sniffed, and smelled a faint fragrance on the pillows and blankets—the scent of a girl…

But it definitely wasn't his own. He didn't even think about it. Almost all the TWICE members knew his dorm password. Maybe one of the girls was resting here.

Even though he had been away from home for almost half a month, the living room and bedroom were still spotless. If it weren't for the fact that he had a few female relatives in TWICE and a close relationship with the other members, he would have suspected that a fairy godmother had come to his house.

After a short rest, Gong Cheng got up and went downstairs, where he found his car keys in a drawer in the living room.

……

"Don't you drive the company car?" Kim Dae-woo asked, leaning against the door of a Maybach downstairs, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Gong Cheng stood upright in the sunlight, dressed in a crisp white T-shirt and jeans. He tossed the car keys to Jin Dayu, saying, "Drive my car, bro. You're a brand ambassador, you should drive more of the brand's cars to show your face."

He chuckled. If an ordinary person were endorsing an Aston Martin, they'd probably be driving like crazy. But he's constantly flying all over the world; it's impossible for him to transport an Aston Martin wherever he is. That would be ridiculous…

"Yeah, they're practically giving us free endorsements by riding in Maybachs every day," Jin Dayu said with a chuckle. He then walked with Gong Cheng towards the underground parking garage, where they chatted about their potential collaboration with Mercedes...

Once in the underground parking garage, the two climbed into the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, a limited edition model that the brand was about to release ahead of schedule.

With a press of the accelerator, the car sped along the road in Gangdong-gu, heading towards Gyeonggi-do.

Kim Daewoo, driving, asked, "Where to first?"

“Produce 48, I guess.” Gong Cheng glanced at the time; it was 11 a.m. He figured if they went now, they could record until the afternoon. “After that, let’s go to Gaoyang…” Then he asked, “Is the hotel also in Gaoyang?”

"Yes, the production team booked it. We've communicated with them, and you'll be joining the crew tomorrow," Kim Dae-woo replied. "TWICE's concert tonight is also in Goyang."

Gong Cheng chuckled, picked up a bottle of water and took a sip. "I know, so I'm going to see a concert tonight. They're going back to Seoul tomorrow, and I'll take Dahyun to the set for a couple of days."

"Oh right, Nayeon and the others went to a concert. Where's my dog?"

He suddenly remembered that time in May; it had been a while since he'd seen him, and he really missed that little rascal who called everyone "Mommy"...

Thinking of this, Kim Dae-woo chuckled as he reeled in the line. “I heard she’s being taken very well. The kids took her to Gaoyang for a concert, and they even took her to the vet for a checkup a few days ago.”

“I know about going to the vet for a checkup.” Gong Cheng nodded, rolled down the car window halfway, and let the cool breeze blow in.

Tzuyu even sent him her May medical report, specifically telling him that May was very healthy and growing up well...

Once the car was on the highway, Kim Daewoo chatted idly with Gong Cheng, partly out of boredom and partly to stay alert while driving. Both of them had just gotten off a plane and hadn't had a good rest. "Do you know about Jihyo and Kang Daniel?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng paused for a moment, then nodded, "I know."

Since these words came from Kim Dae-woo's mouth, he guessed that the company must know about it too. He smiled and asked curiously, "How did you get caught?"

"The paparazzi got the photos, but the company's covered it up." Kim Daewoo stepped on the gas and casually brought up the matter. As for TWICE's affairs, different departments were in charge, so it wasn't really his concern. Besides, he'd been hanging around Gong Cheng all this time, and he'd only heard about it from a colleague. "Aigoo, they were too hasty. The dating ban still has a few months left!"

Gong Cheng pursed his lips, somewhat surprised. "They're dating? Weren't they always playing hard to get? Did the company talk to Jihyo? What's going on?" He was hoping that Park Jihyo and Kang Daniel would play hard to get for a while longer...

“Jihyo denied it, but the company and the paparazzi aren’t stupid. The photos they took show the two kissing in the car, and a few others are…” Kim Daewoo said, his expression turning somewhat speechless, “…Jeongyeon and the others drove her to her date…”

"6..." Gong Cheng hadn't expected this either. Sisterly affection? Jeongyeon and the others? He figured if Yoo Jeongyeon was involved, then the person who sent Park Jihyo a gift would probably include a big star...

After all, the big star and Sana-chan and the others were all eager to make their move, hoping that Park Jihyo and Kang Daniel would confirm their relationship as soon as possible. He knew all about these things, but he had never shown his opinion. "Why did the company pay to hold onto it?"

In the entertainment industry, there are countless celebrities who have interacted with each other. Apart from those who can be kept secret, those who cannot be hidden but have not been exposed are mostly settled by their management companies with money. When paparazzi take these photos that are about to be exposed, the first thing they do is to ask the management company for money. If they can reach an agreement, everything is fine; if they can't, they will expose it.

“If she were to be exposed next year, the company wouldn’t spend money to suppress it, but not now,” Kim Dae-woo said. “TWICE’s individual resources have just been launched, and right now they’re mostly small endorsements and offers. Dahyun is starring in ‘Parasite,’ and didn’t you mention the other day that she got a high-end luxury title? These resources are starting to come in, and we can’t let her situation affect the development of the other members, can we?”

"That makes a lot of sense!" Gong Cheng smiled, pulled a jar of chewing gum from the car drawer, and popped two pieces into his mouth. "How did the company handle Zhixiao?"

This must be dealt with seriously! Let this serve as a warning to other women!
"What can we do? They got a severe scolding from their manager and a lecture from the CEO. I heard it really scared the other TWICE members. Jeongyeon and Nayeon were also lectured because of it," Kim Daewoo said with a sigh. "But what good is a lecture? You can't control dating, right? They're all human. No matter how much professional ethics an artist has, they can't stay single forever, can they?"

"Otherwise, why would the president reduce the dating ban to 3 years? It's mainly because he got caught."

Gong Cheng nodded in agreement. The so-called dating ban is nonsense. Some couples start dating right after they debut. Even if the company finds out later, they only get a lecture and are forced to break up. But with this kind of forced breakup, who can say for sure if it's real or fake?
Some companies don't even care. As long as you hide well and don't get caught by paparazzi, that's fine. Whether the company spends money to suppress the news if you get caught is purely a matter of profit. "Bro, if I get caught, will you scold me?" He chewed his gum and joked.

"Huh? Don't even mention me, the president is practically begging you to find someone." Kim Daewoo said helplessly while analyzing from a professional perspective, "You date one today, break up, date another one next month, and break up again, it doesn't matter."

"It's nothing more than making your homelessness, your Seoul cannon, and your love triangle with Im Yoon-ah and Kim Tae-yeon more believable..." He went on and on, then glanced at Gong Cheng, "Sometimes I'm quite puzzled, you don't seem like such an honest and innocent person, do you?"

"Now it's gotten to the point where the image of a scumbag boyfriend is all about you..."

"Honest and innocent?" Gong Cheng asked with a smile, then said shamelessly, "Brother, you're finally starting to understand me!"

"Come on... Didn't your ex-girlfriend debut? Anyway, recently, a lot of fans in the country have dug up photos of the two of you on her old social media accounts." Kim Dae-woo shook his head and brought up the matter. "Besides, do you remember that video of you that went viral on the Han River Bridge?"

"I remember, what's wrong..."

"Wasn't there a girl inside who helped you home? A lot of people are trying to find out her identity, but they haven't made any progress. After all, it's been so long, and the video is blurry now. But everyone thinks that girl isn't your ex-girlfriend." Jin Dayu said nonchalantly. None of this mattered to Gong Cheng!

As he said before, if this kid didn't have any scandals, it would be a shame that his image collapsed before he even debuted, leaving him with no more scandals to fall apart. In short, it's a good thing for Gong Cheng personally, because his fans now truly know what kind of person he is. Even if he falls in love or starts a relationship in the future, his fans have already been tortured and are used to it.

"It's Zhao Meiyan, no way..." Gong Cheng pursed his lips speechlessly. Zhao Meiyan and Han Suxi are at least four or five centimeters apart in height.

"Someone in the industry?" Kim Daewoo asked with a smile.
"Are you curious too, bro?" Gong Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Oh my god, who on the entire peninsula isn't curious? Zhao Meiyan has become the most envied woman among women on the peninsula, and I guess that girl from that night is about the same. There are even fans who want to know what type of girl you like..."

As he spoke, Kim Daewoo looked at Gong Cheng with surprise, "You're not still in contact with her, are you?" He blinked his beady eyes, feeling that it was very likely. Otherwise, how could a kid who was dating before his debut become so well-behaved after his debut?
"..." Gong Cheng smiled faintly and said nothing.

He and Han Suxi are indeed still in contact. After all, they are good friends who know each other well. In the past, when they were reckless and didn't care about smoking or drinking, having someone to be a reckless person with was quite memorable, someone who comforted each other...

Master Gong's heart is still too soft...

"Is there really a connection?"

"you guess……"

"I won't guess, it's up to you. I'll be frank with you, though the company doesn't object to your dating life, but if you want, I'll report it to the company. If you don't, I'll pretend I don't know." Kim Dae-woo gripped the steering wheel, the Seoul sun reflecting off the Rolex on his thick wrist so brightly it was almost blinding…

He transitioned from talent scout to agent because he was so eager to improve...

Although he has been taking care of the young man's basic needs for the past two years, his good friend is really helping him make money! He has a very proper sense of his position. Rather than saying that the company pays him a salary, some things are given to him by Gong Cheng.

Take, for example, this Rolex watch that's worth a year's salary under the sunlight...

"Ani, why are you saying things like that?" Gong Cheng smiled helplessly, but still glanced at Jin Dayu's Rolex watch and reminded him, "Besides, my brother has helped me a lot, so it's only right that he does these things. Don't overthink it."

In the past two years, he has invested in several projects outside, and Kim Daewoo has also invested in them. The money has come back in a lot, but he doesn't have many thoughts about it. The main thing is that his brother has been wholeheartedly accompanying him all over the world for the past two years. He was the one who found people to help him get the houses in Cheongdam-dong and Itaewon.

It helped me a lot...

Jin Dayu slowed down the car and glanced at Gong Kaka. "You don't trust me? I understand the principle of supporting Yulong to the death for the emperor..."

He had been with Gong Cheng all along, and the young man hadn't kept many private matters from him, which warmed his heart. He had also made a lot of money following Gong Cheng's investment ventures over the past two years.

A few days ago, when Gong Cheng was accompanying him to look at houses in Itaewon, he mentioned some business matters, such as Lu Han returning to China a couple of years ago and establishing some kind of fund to engage in some kind of transformation capital business. Gong Cheng later checked and found that it was the same as what the kid said, but the way it was operated... was not very good... and it was hard to get on the table.

Gong Cheng's investment projects and financial management teams over the past two years have all been professional. With Gong Cheng's connections at Sky, they have made great strides. At that time, he suspected that the gentle, smiling boy in front of him might already be making a career change. In addition, after he confirmed his role in "Parasite" half a month ago, he heard that this kid had asked someone to collect scripts.

It seems they also want to get involved in Netflix's affairs, since Netflix is ​​practically being supported by their faction...

"If you don't trust me, the company wants to arrange for you to be the manager of a newly debuted boy group. Can I stop that, bro?" Gong Cheng chuckled as he lay back in the passenger seat, then looked out the window. "Don't worry, bro. Didn't you say last time you were drunk that you wanted to be my manager until you retired?"

"Does it still count?"

"It counts!" Kim Daewoo shook his head seriously, his tone as firm as if he had returned to his days in the military camp.

“Then let’s travel together and fly all over the world…” Gong Cheng said just as seriously, with a light laugh.

Kim Dae-woo floored the gas pedal, shouting, "No sex, no adultery!"

……

An hour later, the two arrived at the recording site of PRODUCE 48.

"Brother..."

Gong Cheng met with the production team's director, Li Huanzhi, and greeted him with a smile. To be honest, he had missed a few recordings recently and felt quite embarrassed. "Don't blame me, I really couldn't get away."

"Why bring this up? I expected this, and besides, it didn't affect the recording of the show." Li Huanzhi patted his tall and burly junior brother and said cheerfully, "Let's record. The trainees knew you were coming today, and oh my god, they were exhausted and listless, but now they're fully recharged!"

"real or fake?"

Gong Cheng muttered incredulously, "I think I'm pretty strict. It's good enough that they haven't talked about me behind my back." He chuckled and shrugged, then glanced at the camera that had already started filming and waved.

The tall figure strode to the recording set, where the trainees gathered in the spacious living room.

“Tarot represents…”

Gong Cheng smiled and said, "Long time no see."

He glanced at the trainees and spotted Jiang Huiyuan, who was wandering around aimlessly to the side. "Aigoo, you're still here, aren't you, first-class innocence?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huiyuan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she responded awkwardly, "Mmm..."

Listen to what they're saying! Do they really want me to be eliminated?

"Haha, first-class purity, what I mean is, it's quite heartwarming to see you still here. Hang in there, I have high hopes for you." Gong Cheng chuckled encouragingly. He wasn't some stern teacher with a stern face, much less their teacher; he was just doing his job for money.

But if I meet someone I click with or who leaves a deep impression, I don't mind saying a few more words.

"Really?" Jiang Huiyuan looked up timidly at the teacher she hadn't seen in a long time and who had almost embarrassed her again. "Do you really think highly of me?" She blinked her dull eyes, and after a few blinks, she felt her eyes getting a little wet.

She's under a lot of pressure here...

"No need to use honorifics with me. When did you become so proper?" Gong Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Well, I really think highly of you. After all, you're a top-tier pure girl. Keep it up..."

"..."

A dozen minutes later, Gong Cheng came to another group of trainees, Miyawaki Sakura's group. The group members were wearing pink short-sleeved shirts. As usual, he greeted them and said, "Fighting! I have high hopes for you guys~"

Miyawaki Sakura nodded earnestly, looking pleased, her determined eyes shining brightly in the camera lens.

"..."

"Yuanying, Huaiting, I have high hopes for you..."

The cameraman carrying the camera twitched his lips. "Dude! Are you using a nested doll technique? Or are you raising a treacherous snake?" He smiled, staring at the faces on the screen. A sunny boy and a girl a head shorter than him—Jang Won-young, with her ponytail, slightly chubby face, pure and adorable, her pink lips pursed—gave Gong Cheng a firm nod. "Oppa, I'll work hard to debut! I definitely will!"

"Then let's do our best..." Gong Cheng chuckled lightly, preparing to turn and leave. Zhang Yuanying cautiously asked from behind, "Oppa, if I debut, will you come to the debut night?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't I your teacher and the representative of the national producers?" Gong Cheng responded with a smile, then looked at Zhang Yuanying's fixed gaze, unsure whether she was looking at him or at the camera...

But thinking about my busy schedule lately, I haven't really been to PRODUCE 48 much, so I guess I'm being a bit irresponsible?

"Let's talk about it later. I'm sorry if I'm too busy..."

Gong Cheng shrugged and told the truth. Then he saw Li Huanzhi waving at him from not far away. He walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

"Can I talk to you about something, junior brother?" Li Huanzhi pulled Gong Cheng into the conference room next door. "You keep all the copyrights to your songs yourself?"

"Hey, what's wrong?" Gong Cheng asked suspiciously.

He owns all the copyrights to his songs. Generally speaking, copyright ownership can be divided into three categories: copyright belonging to the company, copyright sharing, or copyright belonging to an individual. For an entertainment company, it's best if the copyright belongs to the company...

However, when Gong Cheng signed a contract with JYP, the issue that dragged on the longest was the copyright. It wasn't that he was certain his songs would be amazing or popular; it was mainly because his decision to become an artist was wavering at the time. He stuck to the issue of copyright ownership, and if it didn't work out, he would go back to Yonhap University to continue his studies.

He wasn't as eager as Cho Mi-yeon, Kim Ji-soo, or Lim Na-yeon to debut as an entertainer...

Otherwise, she would have accepted a talent scout's invitation to become a trainee when she was very young.

The final contract stipulated that, apart from the normal revenue sharing ratio, the copyright of the songs would remain with him, specifically those he independently created. If the company included a song in its music library, then the copyright of that song would belong to the company.

Furthermore, it's not uncommon for copyrights to belong to individual artists on the Korean Peninsula. For artists with producer abilities, anything is negotiable…

But this doesn't work for companies like TWICE, because the members don't have the ability to produce their own songs. The company pays for the production or buys the songs they sing, so the copyright naturally belongs to the company. To give another rough example, there's Tao and Luhan from Kung Fu Panda, who returned to China a few years ago...

Why can't you sing XO songs after leaving XO? Ultimately, the copyright belongs to SM Entertainment. The lyrics and music production have nothing to do with them or XO as a whole. You have the right to sing in XO, but once you leave, it has absolutely no bearing on you. Singing them again would be copyright infringement.

"We'd like to use that song you performed at the Nissan concert a few days ago, 'The Heart That Cannot Be Conveyed,' in the show, as an option for the trainees to sing it when they're divided into groups," Li Huanzhi said with a smile. "Do you think we could grant you permission?"

"Okay, you guys prepare the contract." Gong Cheng nodded in agreement without much thought. It was no use for the production team to talk to JYP about this; it all had to go through him.

……

In the evening, Gong Cheng left the recording location of PRODUCE 48 and headed to Goyang City in the mid-western part of Gyeonggi Province.

TWICE has a concert here tonight, and he's planning to visit the set to surprise the female fans, but he didn't tell them beforehand...

Also, try to calm down the mothers who are agitated because of Park Ji-hyo's situation...

"..."

……

Under the cover of night, the main stadium of Gaoyang Comprehensive Sports Center can accommodate more than 40000 people. In the hazy night outside the stadium, more than half of the spectators had already entered the stadium. After getting out of the car, Gong Cheng, wearing a baseball cap, walked through the crowd.

He lifted the brim of his hat and looked at the concrete and steel building in front of him. It was an open-air structure, but the roof of the main stadium, which was outlined by intersecting steel cables on both sides, stretched out in the air like steel wings. This stadium was one of the best on the peninsula, and sports events and concerts were held here.

However, he had never logged in here before; this was his first time...

Inside the venue, the audience seating was arranged in a bowl shape around the space, with more than 4 orange seats neatly arranged, and TWICE's support color lit up and danced.

Gong Cheng stood on the sparsely populated rooftop, leaned on the railing, and gazed at the vast sea of ​​stars... How to put it, after standing on the stage for so long, sitting in the audience and watching others stand under the spotlight has a different feeling.

However, it's no wonder that Park Jin-young previously mentioned a shortage of manpower. With so many groups under his management holding tours and concerts, each group needs a large number of staff to accompany them...

"Let's go, bro, let's go backstage, meet the members, have a meal, and then go back to the hotel to rest." Gong Cheng yawned, unable to hide his sleepiness, and said. Besides appeasing the restless thoughts of those female fans, coming here was also on the way.

After all, the film crew of "Parasite" is currently in Goyang City and needs to film a few scenes there. If all goes well, they can finish filming in one day tomorrow and then head directly to Jeonju.

"..."

In the backstage dressing room, Lim Nayeon was wearing a white shirt and a beige skirt. The hem of her shirt was tied into a bow, revealing her abs and belly button. She wore a purple tie at the collar. The members sitting next to her were dressed similarly, except that the colors of their ties and skirts were different, mostly in light colors.

She pursed her rabbit teeth, somewhat annoyed, "Why haven't you replied to my message for so long?"

"Who is it? Gong Cheng?" Yu Dingyan curled her lips in disdain and asked. Then she glanced at Park Jihyo next to her and sighed. How could she be chatting so enthusiastically with Kang Daniel after being criticized so much by the company?
She and her friend Lim Nayeon were also reprimanded by the company for being too loyal, but it was only a minor reprimand. The company didn't force Park Jihyo to break up with him or anything, since it's something you can't control.

Mina glanced worriedly at her friend Momo Hirai beside her. Momo's chest, encased in a white shirt, was full and rounded. Mina only gave her a quick look before turning away. Why wasn't Makoto replying to her messages after returning to Seoul?

He wasn't like this before, and for a moment she felt a little empty inside.

"Suckling~ May, come to Mommy's!"

Sana Minato loosened her tie rather roughly, then snorted twice at the little dog shaking its head in the corner of the lounge. May, who had become much stronger, pounced at her feet with a "whoosh" and let out two yelps.

Kim Dahyun leaned against Son Chaeyoung and Chou Tzuyu, chatting while preparing baby formula for May.

She glanced at May, who was nestled in Sana's arms and wouldn't get up, and felt a pang of sadness... If only she were a dog.

She was extremely nervous about the kissing scene!
Lifting her fair face, Kim Da-hyun glanced at her friend Chaeyoung, who was still happily glued to her phone beside her. "I'm sorry!"
The more guilty she felt, the more she wanted to make amends to Chaeyoung. "Are you hungry, Chaeyoung?"

The rest of the members sat in front of the dressing table and mirror, letting the stylists do their makeup and styling...

"..."

……

Gong Cheng stood in the backstage corridor, his upright figure greeting many company staff members. To an outsider, it would seem as if the chairman had come to inspect the place.

"Xiao Cheng, you're here." One of TWICE's managers was initially surprised to see Gong Cheng, but then smiled.

"Just stopping by on the way," Gong Cheng replied with a smile, then didn't say anything more. A large group like TWICE has more than a dozen people just for managers, assistants, and other miscellaneous staff, not counting stylists and bodyguards.

Upon reaching the end of the corridor, no staff are needed to lead the way.

Gong Chengguang immediately recognized which room was TWICE's dressing room from the noisy chatter that sounded like a bustling market...

Pushing open the heavy soundproof door to the lounge, he stared in surprise at the Shiba Inu girl who was acting crazy. She used her old trick again: Sana was on a plane, and the target was her good sister Tzuyu...

"Can we play some honorific games?" Lim Nayeon pleaded with Son Chaeyoung and the others, but the moment she saw the door being pushed open, her pleading eyes turned into uncontrollable surprise, and her wide-open rabbit teeth began to smugly smile.

After being surprised, Yu Dingyan scratched her short, blond hair and said, "Why are you here? You didn't even say hello."

"No screams?" Gong Cheng stood smugly at the door of the lounge, his tall figure almost filling the threshold. The warm yellow light shone on his smug smile, and he raised an eyebrow at the big star inside!
We really are a perfect match! Your smug bunny teeth and my smug eyebrows are a perfect match!

"Woof woof~ Waaah waaah~"

May jumped out of Hirai Momo's soft embrace and hopped to Miyako's feet, wagging her tail...

Gong Cheng picked it up and rubbed it a couple of times. "Wow, it's gotten quite heavy."

Immediately afterwards, the "Medical Integrity Alliance," led by Mina, gave her a very respectful but also fake scream, "Ahhh! Oppa, you're here!"

"elder brother……"

Gong Cheng glanced at Mina, who was grinning with her gums wide open. Had Mina-chan taken the wrong medicine?
what's the situation?
He was prepared to get a sarcastic remark from Mina-chan. After all, the little penguin knew his own situation perfectly well. Park Ji-hyo, the one who stuck her neck out, got a good beating. She should be very aware of the restless hearts of her female relatives...

She wouldn't be like her if she didn't provoke herself.

Sana Minatozaki stood up from the sofa, her bright eyes glancing at her boyfriend. She walked over to Makoto Miyamoto, reaching out as if to grab his wrist, but then pulled back. "Why didn't you send a message..."

Holy crap! A feint!

"Hehe, a surprise!" Gong Cheng said with an awkward laugh. Sana-chan's soft voice made him panic. Whenever Sana-chan spoke like that, Xiao Jiazi always had something good to tell him. Right now, the best news for his Shiba Inu girlfriend was...

Park Ji-hyo, that good-for-nothing who stuck his neck out, flapped his wings and flew in the sky, then was shot down with a "biu" from a hunting rifle.

Kim Dae-woo smiled and said, "Kids, you can chat, but don't delay the performance. Xiao Cheng and I will be leaving in a bit, so we hope we won't disturb you." With that, he took out his cigarette case, opened the door to the dressing room, and left.

But Gong Cheng guessed that he had gone to brag to the TWICE staff again.

"How old are you? Still catching people off guard~" Yoo Jeongyeon sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, teasingly laughing. It had been a long time since she'd seen this guy, and seeing him suddenly was quite a surprise. After all, he was a Billboard chart king, a Grammy winner, a hit-making machine, and the number one K-pop artist...

Gong Cheng quickly plopped down next to Yu Dingyan. He felt there were few members in the room he couldn't afford to offend, and he was afraid that if he sat next to anyone, that person would grab him, the coveted little cabbage, and loudly announce, "Members, I have good news for you all, we've actually been dating all along..."

That would be bad...

"Keep getting ready, the concert is about to start, don't let it interfere with your tour," Gong Cheng quickly said, hoping that his girlfriends would continue with their work and not act impulsively.

Kim Da-hyun, who was not far away, was well aware of Da-da-shuai's predicament and quickly spoke up to help him out, "Oppa, why don't you go up and sing a couple of songs and be a guest?"

This statement was met with unanimous approval, and it also drew attention to Gong Cheng. Many members nodded excitedly, thinking the suggestion was excellent.

Yoo Jeongyeon clapped her hands and smiled, "Okay, go up and sing a few songs. After all, you're the tenth member of Twice. It'll be a full reunion, hehe."

"Stop messing around, I just got back from Nissan. Let me stay away from the microphone, I'm exhausted." Gong Cheng waved his hand, lay down on the sofa, took the water that Duo Xian handed him, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then said, "I need to go back to the hotel to catch up on my sleep. I haven't had a moment's rest since I landed."

"..."

After chatting for a while, Hirai Momo suddenly leaned close to Miyako and said casually, "Oppa, let's gossip about something, okay?" She blinked and looked at her teacher's handsome features.

Before Gong Cheng could refuse...

With her sexy red lips, she asked in a way that seemed to fit her persona, "Who is that girl in the Han River Bridge video? A lot of people online are curious about her lately, and we're quite curious too..."

Hirai Momo blinked her eyelashes, her smile was wooden, and she chuckled with a gossipy look after asking the question.

"..." Gong Cheng felt like he'd been stabbed in the back. You're so dense! Do you think your master is some kind of naive fool?

He forced a smile, stared at his traitor, and spat out two words through gritted teeth, "Friend." He knew without a doubt how many pairs of female relatives were staring intently at him from behind.

If you give a bad answer, you might be out of a job.

Hirai Momo chuckled, not asking any further questions. Her eyes, hidden beneath her short hair, looked intelligent and bright. She shared the potato chips she was carrying with her master, "Oh, oh~"

She originally wanted to ask why she was with Bae Joo-hyun in Tokyo.

But after thinking about it, I'll stick with garlic... just throwing out an idea to get the ball rolling.

She wanted to see if her seemingly innocent master was just pretending, or... pretending... or was there even a one percent chance that he was genuinely innocent? However, this didn't affect her affection for her master; she just wanted to see if there were any internal obstacles!
Sweep them all away!

Baka yarou, who dares to say I'm stupid?
Lim Nayeon grinned, showing her rabbit teeth. She wanted to ask more questions, but then she thought, what's wrong with a male friend having a female friend? It wasn't that she had a particularly broad mind; it was mainly because the things that happened in the video were before she met him, and she wasn't that selfish...

Otherwise, her boyfriend's huge female friends would drive her crazy, like Yoona, Taeyeon, Suzy, IU...

Sana Minatozaki remained calm and composed. She approached Makoto Miyamoto, casually placing her hand on his shoulder and asking with a grin, "When are you going back to Japan for a tour? How many days will you stay in Seoul?"

She missed her boyfriend. She was already busy with work and rarely saw him, and now her boyfriend was even busier... As for the woman Momo-chan mentioned, she planned to ask her boyfriend about it when she had some free time. After all, Mina-chan was still watching her closely, so how could she let her take advantage of the situation?
How could a woman of such inexplicable origin be as intimidating as Mina-chan, who constantly calls her own male relative Cheng-chan?

"Let's stay for four or five days, and leave at the end of the month or the beginning of the next month." Gong Cheng looked at the expressions of his female relatives and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the little penguin didn't cause any trouble. He couldn't help but feel a little gratified. His female relatives had all grown up!

Especially the Shiba Inu woman with curly hair brushing against her cheeks; in the past, she would definitely have a dark expression and a fierce argument with her.

Son Chae-young smiled and looked at her husband without saying anything.

She's more concerned about her husband's illness now; she doesn't care about any scandals or the woman on the Han River Bridge.

From the very first day she met her boyfriend, she knew he wasn't a good person. For example, when she was wearing Mina unnie's pajamas, it was quite arousing, but her boyfriend would definitely be even more arousing, otherwise he wouldn't have sped up like that...

Given Mina's excessive concern for her male parent, it's hard not to suspect something.

"How many days are you staying in Gaoyang? Is it just a two-day tour?" Gong Cheng asked curiously...

"Yeah, one more day tomorrow, then we'll go back to Seoul the day after tomorrow." Tzuyu replied with a slight smile, her lips pursed. She felt... she felt like all the unnies were eyeing her brother covetously. She was a little confused. At first, she suspected Chaeyoung, but then she saw Sana unnie get into her brother's car...

But right now, it feels like the unnies' relationships with their older brothers are a bit strange...

Gong Cheng thought for a moment and then laughed lightly, "Then let's go together the day after tomorrow. I happen to be in Gaoyang tomorrow and have to go to the film set. Da Xian can come with me during the day."

He assured that whenever he met any of the women alone these days, he would face the question of whether or not to confront the members!
Fortunately, he had already figured out how to deal with it, but he needed to take it one step at a time. So he raised his hand and flicked the Shiba Inu girl's forehead three times.

Sana Minatozaki's bright eyes widened in surprise, then she looked up, a mixture of annoyance and confusion on her face. "What are you doing?!"
