The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 304 Mina, who was warned

"Unnie, I'm so nervous..."

Inside the restaurant's private room, the wooden partition door was gently ajar, filtering out most of the noise from the downstairs lobby. Song Yuqi placed her hands on the light yellow tablecloth, looking like a primary school student, but her expression was excited and exhilarated.

The room could accommodate seven or eight people. Hearing this, Tian Xiaojuan, with her spirited demeanor, couldn't help but sigh, "Aigoo, Yuqi, what's there to be nervous about? He's not your ex-boyfriend..."

"If Tarot were my ex-boyfriend, I would have introduced him to everyone long ago..." Song Yuqi said excitedly, but her smile was forced as she looked at her dazed Miyeon unnie, clearly dissatisfied with what her unnie had been keeping hidden.
Over the past two years, she's practically worn her lips out trying to persuade her. The seemingly honest and unassuming Mi-yeon unnie initially said they had broken up and hadn't been in contact for a long time, but later she changed her tune, saying that even if they had broken up, they were still very good friends...

"Besides, with a boyfriend like Tarot, I would never break up with him in this lifetime."

Song Yuqi continued to express her opinion, feeling that Tarot and her sister's breakup was somewhat hasty and a bit of a pity.
Unfortunately, Pabu Oni ​​just wouldn't say anything. If she still had feelings for Tarot-senpai, I could have given her some advice. After all, Pabu Oni ​​was my best friend in this country.

"Shuhua, have you met Tarot senior? Isn't he close to Tzuyu senior?"

MINNIE turned to ask Yeh Shuhua, who was sitting next to her. She had a slightly plump figure but very fair skin. The members all knew that this teammate had always been in contact with TWICE's maknae Tzuyu and they were very good friends.

"No... but I've heard Tzuyu mention this guy a lot..."

Ye Shuhua opened her mouth as if to speak, glancing meaningfully at the smiling Mi-yeon unnie. After a moment's thought, she swallowed her words, "Anyway, I haven't seen her..."

"You all know that this guy is elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. So many seniors want to be friends with him, but they have no way of doing so. Besides, in the past two years, Senior Tarot has hardly participated in any activities or programs in his home country..."

As she spoke, a smile graced her fair face. What she said was true. Since 16, Gong Cheng had rarely attended events, variety shows, or music shows in Japan. His entire career focus had shifted to Europe. In 16, industry veterans could still catch a glimpse of him during comeback periods or at year-end music awards ceremonies and music shows. But now, to bump into him during any event, one would have to be at the Grammys, the Billboard Music Awards, or fashion weeks in Paris or Milan…

But all of these events have entry requirements for artists. Leaving aside the Grammys and Billboard, they'd love to attend the major fashion weeks, but nobody invites them…

"He's not as mysterious as you guys make him out to be, haha~"

Zhao Meiyan sat on the chair, resting her chin on her hand, listening to the members' chattering discussion, a soft smile spreading across her eyes.

Although she had already greeted oppa before the dinner began, intending to interact with the members as a good friend even after their breakup, she still couldn't help but adopt the demeanor of a hostess...

"Unnie, why hasn't your senior arrived yet?"

Song Yuqi asked impatiently again.

"It's coming soon..."

Zhao Meiyan glanced at her phone at the conversation they had exchanged just a few minutes ago, and gave a sly smile.

"..."

A few minutes later, Gong Cheng walked into the restaurant. His pink shirt jacket, tall figure, and overall demeanor made him extremely eye-catching to the guests at each table. He wore a pink baseball cap, glanced at the private rooms on the second floor, and walked upstairs unhurriedly.

"Didn't you think that boy looked familiar?"

"Yes, even though he's wearing a mask, his physique and demeanor are truly outstanding... Aigoo, I definitely recognize him, but who could it be? Oh my! Tarot???"

"..."

His eyes, hidden beneath the brim of his hat, scanned the doors to the private rooms in the second-floor corridor. Gong Cheng stood in front of the room number Zhao Meiyan had sent him. The room was well-soundproofed, so he couldn't quite hear what was being said inside, but the chattering and buzzing sounds...

He knocked on the door, then pushed it open, and his eyes fell upon the faces of several girls he had just seen in the encyclopedia: all of (G)I-DLE.

"Mi-nee, have you kept me waiting...?"

Gong Cheng took off his mask, apologetic smile on his face, and then closed the door to the private room.

“Oh, Tarot-senpai, we just arrived too…”

"Yes, seniors, we just arrived too."

"..."

Tian Xiaojuan, Song Yuqi, Ye Shuhua... and the others quickly stood up, their nervous expressions and slightly stuttering speech showing how nervous they were. After all, this guy in front of them was a senior in every way, and even though this was a private dinner, it was their first time meeting him...

Song Yuqi, who had been so eager to be friends with Gong Cheng, had now toned down her carefree personality and adopted a docile expression, somewhat hesitant to indulge her true nature.

Although we're all from the same hometown, without the connection to Mei Yan's sister, we'd just be fellow countrymen. Especially since we're all Chinese, there are countless other people from the same hometown...

"Please don't be so polite, everyone!"

Zhao Meiyan raised her eyes and smiled sweetly at the members, asserting her importance. She glanced at Song Yuqi, who had been like a demon king a moment ago but now looked a little listless and nervous. "Yuqi, haven't you always wanted to be friends with Oppa?"

"Now Oppa is here... Xiaojuan, didn't you want to talk to Oppa about producing songs?"

"..." Her cheeks, like those caressed by a spring breeze, curved into crescent moons when she smiled. Zhao Meiyan pouted and recounted the topics the members had been chattering about before Gong Cheng arrived, partly to bridge the gap between the members and Gong Cheng and prevent awkward silences...

On the other hand, he subtly showed off to the members how important he was to Gong Chengxin.

"No, don't be so polite, we're all around the same age..."

Gong Cheng took off his baseball cap, his face softening with a gentle smile. He echoed the words of the woman, fully aware of her little scheme; otherwise, he wouldn't have stood there waiting for her to introduce her friends…

Girls always like to show off their status in their boyfriends' hearts to their friends. Even though she had told me beforehand not to reveal that we were still dating, that was just a cover-up...

"Yes, senior..."

Tian Xiaojuan replied somewhat stiffly, her gaze secretly sizing up the tall senior in front of her, tsk tsk.

Miyeon unnie ate even better than they had imagined...

She looks absolutely stunning without makeup...

"Ani, don't call me senior anymore, I don't really care about that."

Gong Cheng listened to them calling him "senior" repeatedly, and aside from finding it odd to him, he was afraid that if he didn't change the way he addressed them, the smiling Pabu beside him would feel uncomfortable. They were already introducing friends; how could they be so formal!

Learn from this, kids. This is also a subtle way of supporting Zhao Meiyan. If his mother is happy, he'll live a comfortable life...

"Oppa?"

"..." Ye Shuhua and Song Yuqi tentatively changed their way of addressing each other.

He's really handsome! Song Yuqi's previously listless expression instantly brightened up again. She felt like he would get along well with her, and she didn't really care about that country's unhealthy senior-junior mentality...

"Inside!"

Gong Cheng chuckled in response, and Zhao Meiyan smiled brightly. The two then sat down. His seat was right next to Zhao Meiyan. It was mainly because Song Yuqi and the others were quite perceptive; they sat opposite them, while he and Zhao Meiyan were seated in the innermost row, along with Ye Shuhua.

Zhao Meiyan was in the middle, sitting at the edge of the sofa.

"..." Ye Shuhua listened silently to this guy chatting with the members, then glanced at Miyeon unnie and Gong Cheng who were standing very close to each other. Unnie's sweet smile, it would be strange if she didn't have something to hide!

Ah, the thought of another friend, Tzuyu, made her gaze toward Zhao Meiyan even more complicated.

In the past, when she went out for meals and shopping with Tzuyu, she overheard this older sister talking about Tarot and guessed that her friend really liked the ex-boyfriend of the unnie next to her...

"..."

"Oppa, have you and unnie really broken up?"

In the lively atmosphere, Song Yuqi let her true nature show and asked a somewhat presumptuous question, but her sincere eyes looked at the two people opposite her with great anticipation. To be honest, unnie is really beautiful, and Tarot is even more handsome than in the video.

She finally understood why so many fans online would flood forums with criticisms of her, or say things like Jisoo and Yoona were not good enough for this guy. She felt that her unnie must have been under a lot of pressure while dating him.

Tian Xiaojuan and the others glanced at Song Yuqi with some resentment, but their gossipy eyes also lingered on Zhao Meiyan and Gong Cheng's faces.

"Yes, we've been separated for a long time..."

"However, we are still very good friends." Gong Cheng chuckled as he recited the lines Zhao Meiyan had prepared for him.

"Mmm~" Zhao Meiyan chuckled softly in agreement, but when she heard her husband say these words with such composure and calmness, her dimples faltered slightly...

I told you to say it, so you actually said it?
And how come he said it so fluently? I can't keep talking about our relationship like this to other girls, can I?
"Shall we talk about the guest performers for the concert?"

Zhao Meiyan changed the subject, trying to stop thinking about what had just happened; it was pointless.

It doesn't matter what you say, Oppa is still sitting obediently next to me, with a smile on his face and calmness in his eyes.

Ye Shuhua was a little unsure about the relationship between Zhao Meiyan and Gong Cheng, but since this oppa had said that they had been separated for a long time.

Who cares if it's true or not...

At least another friend has a chance, right?

"As for concerts, there's really not much to pay attention to for local shows."

"I've seen your performances on music shows, you're really good. Didn't you release a new single last month? If you're choosing a song, you could sing that one for promotional purposes..."

Gong Cheng wasn't too concerned about what songs (G)I-DLE would sing on stage. Realistically speaking, if it weren't for Paboo beside him, they wouldn't have had the chance to be guests at a concert. While guest appearances at concerts are usually a gimmick, his relationship with Zhao Meiyan was definitely a big draw…

But performing on stage, in the end, is just a short performance during the intermission, a chance to change clothes and rest. So whatever song or stage you choose, as long as you perform well and don't slack off, it doesn't matter...

"..."

"...Oppa, can we exchange contact information?"

"it is good."

"..."

……

On his way back to the dorm, Gong Cheng reminisced about his meeting with (G)I-DLE, feeling that Zhao Meiyan, TWICE, and Bae Joo-hyun were like various warlords, each leading their own group, trying to conquer his city...

However, (G)I-DLE only has one powerful leader, Phra Phuttha Chōmi-yeon, whose position is secure and who can lead his troops south at any time.

As for TWICE, Nayeon, the leader, was quite wary of Miyeon, but he could see her restless, combative nature. However, the big star didn't expect that her team had already fallen apart and harbored disloyal intentions...

Red Velvet, led by Bae Joo-hyun, is a united front.

After all, Seulgi, Son Seungwan, and the others all knew about his relationship with the women from Daegu; they just hadn't officially confirmed it yet. If a fight broke out, they would definitely side with their leader...

Sigh...

Gong Cheng sighed slightly, but he was still in a pretty good mood, even though he was afraid that the big stars and his friends would have a showdown with Zhao Meiyan during their local tour in a few days...

But there are still about ten days left, so we'll live one day at a time...

It's set!

We're not afraid!

"..."

……

The next day, September 10th...

As the autumn breeze grew cooler, Chou Tzu-yu woke up early in the morning, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. Her roommates, Chaeyoung and Dahyun, were still half-asleep, wearing their pajamas and with their hair disheveled, looking quite unladylike around her luggage, concerned for her.

"Tzuyu, don't forget to bring your ID photos and stuff..."

"I think the weather in Beijing is quite chilly. You and Oppa should take a couple more warm coats..."

"..."

Son Chaeyoung sniffed her cute nose, looking concerned, before collapsing onto the sofa and dozing off.

Last night, she was still angry because she couldn't resist the persistent pleading of the guy on the rooftop. She hadn't figured out how to handle her relationship with him and Mina unnie yet, but she missed him a little because it had been so long since they had been together.

"...By the way, Tzuyu, I'm leaving the task of supervising oppa's alcohol abstinence to you."

Kim Da-hyun yawned, sat cross-legged in front of the doghouse, and was pouring dog food for May when she reminded her again.

During this period, based on her observations, it seems she really has gotten into trouble, and has been cursed by the Great Marshal and is now acting up. So now, Tofu is paying extra attention to all the activities and meetings of the "Medical Integrity Alliance," hoping to make amends...

"...Don't worry~"

After washing up, Chou Tzu-yu came out of the bathroom, patted herself on the back, and made a serious promise!
"OK~"

"We won't see you off, Tzuyu. Go and meet up with Oppa..."

Sun Caiying was so sleepy that she couldn't even lift her eyelids. She lay on the sofa with her legs in the air and mumbled something in her sleep.

Chou Tzu-yu nodded, turned and walked into the bedroom, changed into low-waisted jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, tucked the collar into the waistband, put on a black jacket, put on a baseball cap, and posed for two photos in front of the mirror. Her height of 172 cm is very superior among women, and she has a kind of handsome young master feel.

She greeted her friends and family, then pulled her suitcase downstairs, secretly pleased with herself.

Besides returning to Korea to film Huawei's endorsement advertisement, Chou Tzu-yu is expected to stay in Korea for about a week, where she can sit in her brother's concert and watch him perform.

Actually, when it comes to Gong Cheng singing, the members and I would always tease him to sing a few songs during our usual dinners to liven up the atmosphere.

To outsiders, he's a "pop superstar" and a "streaming emperor," but in her eyes, it's all the same as it was 16 years ago. On that night he was cyberbullied, she awkwardly comforted the boy walking along the Han River…

So, she was happy for Gong Cheng's record-breaking achievements; her brother deserved them.

But the Bird's Nest and the first stop of the world tour, the first time to hold a proper concert, Chou Tzu-yu believes that this is very meaningful for her brother and for a singer, and of course she wants to witness it in person.

How far is it from the Hanjiang Bridge to the Bird's Nest?

Even though she often followed Gong Cheng around, playing the role of a well-behaved and obedient younger sister, she couldn't say with certainty how much she truly understood or knew about the setbacks and triumphs Gong Cheng had experienced. His incredible achievements, beyond the comprehension of most, required immense effort and hard work—it was heartbreaking and incredibly difficult…

"..."

The elevator doors opened, and Chou Tzu-yu walked gracefully out of the apartment building.

The front of the building is lined with rows of green plants and flowers, though the leaves are turning yellow with the autumn wind. A brand-new Maybach is parked in front of the building, with several vans parked behind it.

Inside sat the accompanying agents, assistants, and bodyguards...

"Tzuyu, get in the car..."

Gong Cheng, wearing a beige cardigan over a short-sleeved shirt, his long, straight legs encased in brown wide-leg pants, was leaning against the car, chatting casually with Kim Daewoo. But upon seeing Chou Tzu-yu emerge, he chuckled and waved.
"Get in my car, we're going to the airport..."

"it is good……"

Chou Tzu-yu handed her suitcase to her manager, then turned and climbed into the car.

The convoy headed to Incheon International Airport...

……

Boarding, takeoff...

The flight, which lasted several hours, passed quickly.

……

After landing at Beijing Capital International Airport...

The dozen or so bodyguards surrounding Gong Cheng and Zhou Ziyu formed a circle around them. It wasn't that he was acting like a big shot; it was just that there were too many fans waiting for them at the airport. In addition, he hadn't been back to China for activities for a long time, and his achievements and trophies, such as the Grammys, would drive the fans even crazier.

I walked out of the terminal building through the passage cleared by the bodyguards.

Outside the airport, a barrage of flashes went off. Gong Cheng and Zhou Ziyu took off their sunglasses, smiled, and waved to the cameras and fans before getting into their van and leaving the airport.

"..."

#TTTTTarot lands in Beijing and returns home#
#Tarot and Tzuyu spotted in BJ, latest airport photos#
#Honor signs Chou Tzu-yu as its new brand ambassador#

"..."

In the leaked airport photos and candid shots, Gong Cheng's tall figure is seen wearing sunglasses. His dark, tousled hair is styled with slight curls by a hairstylist. He has a smile on his face, and his sunglasses reflect the fans waving their support signs wildly. He has long, slender hands and is diligently catching all sorts of letters handed to him by fans.

Chou Tzu-yu stood half a step to his side, her youthful outfit and demeanor exuding boyish charm. She carried a shoulder bag, her almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents, and shallow dimples appearing on her smiling cheeks, her gentle smile like that of someone immersed in warm water. She extended her right hand, making a heart shape with it, and placed it against her cheek as she sprinkled food…

In the corners of the unedited photos, many fans are holding up support signs for "Honey Fish Ice Makoto".

"Oh my god, I just got back from picking them up at the airport, and Tarot and Tzuyu are such a perfect match standing together! Now I know why they have so many fans who ship them as a couple!"

"【Honey Fish Ice Saint】is the best!!!"

"Their vibes match so well! Tzuyu used to have such a refined, elegant air about her, but today she looks so cool and aloof with Tarot." "Girls! Just now at the airport, Tzuyu and I walked past each other, and seriously, they both smelled so sweet and soft! And up close, their skin is so amazing, absolutely flawless!"

"Looking forward to the Bird's Nest concert! Hehe~"

"Pigeon is finally back home, waaaaaah~~"

"..."

……

"Lay-ge~"

After leaving the airport, the driver took Gong Cheng and Zhou Ziyu to a hotel in the HD district according to the location. Zhou Ziyu greeted Zhang Yixing in the private room with a smile. To be honest, she hadn't seen this guy for a while.

"..."

"Aren't you busy lately, bro?"

After the food was served, Gong Cheng took a sip of lemonade and casually asked about the guests on his world tour at the Bird's Nest, besides Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Ziqi, as well as Jackson Wang and Lay Zhang. However, Jackson Wang was currently in Seoul, busy with the comeback of GOT7.

I can only return to China the day before the concert.

"I'm busy, not only with film crews and variety shows, but also with some issues at my studio."

Zhang Yixing made a sarcastic remark, and was just about to pick up a bottle of Moutai to pour a glass for the maknae in front of him when he noticed TWICE's maknae. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhou Ziyu suspiciously, and then stopped the bottle in mid-air, asking, "Don't you want a drink?"

"That's not like you. Didn't you say you didn't have work today?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng glanced furtively at Zhou Ziyu, who was eating obediently to the side, his meaning clear.

"hh..."

Zhang Yixing chuckled, put away the wine bottle, leaned back in his chair, and glanced at the two of them with a gossipy look, saying, "Pretty good." But in his heart, he was secretly thinking, "How many the hell is this?"
However, he was quite impressed with the youngest member in front of him, who had remained unharmed for two whole years.
"Is Chanyeol really dating a Japanese girlfriend?"

Zhang Yixing changed the subject and gossiped a bit. After the group's schedule ended, he had been busy in China and knew some news about the members, but not much.

"Yes, we almost got caught by the media. It was exposed a few days ago, but we didn't admit it. It's fake."

Gong Cheng nodded and said, "The fans are already desensitized to this kind of thing. Since they haven't openly admitted it or made it public, it's not real. Besides, there will be popular fans and die-hard loyalists who will specifically try to defend it."

"Where are you and Tzuyu?"

"Are you dating?"

Zhang Yixing observed Zhou Ziyu's expression. Since no other younger siblings were mentioned, if Ziyu really was dating the maknae (youngest member), then Gong Cheng sitting opposite them was... well, let's just say he was a bit...

"..."

Originally, Chou Tzu-yu was obediently picking out Sichuan food to eat. She didn't want to disturb her brother and Lay when she heard them chatting. But now, Lay's curious voice made her cute little face turn red. She lowered her cheeks and stole a glance at Gong Cheng's expression.

"What are you saying, bro?"

"Stop saying such strange things, lest Ziyu feel uncomfortable..."

Gong Cheng glanced at his younger sister's slightly flushed face out of the corner of his eye and gave a tactful reply.

Hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu gripped her chopsticks tightly, nodded dejectedly at Zhang Yixing, which seemed to confirm Gong Cheng's answer, but she felt a little uncomfortable inside. Everything was fine until her brother spoke, and then she felt uncomfortable...

"..."

……

Meanwhile, in Seoul, which is an hour ahead of China in terms of time difference.

The TWICE members sat idly in the practice room. Generally speaking, as long as it's not during their comeback period, when they come to the company, they either practice dance, carry out commercial activities, or just relax in the practice room and clock in for work.

However, TWICE, who are currently very popular, have very little free time.

However, with Chou Tzu-yu flying back to Taiwan to film commercials for her personal endorsement, and Yoo Jeong-yeon explaining her health issues to the company after visiting the hospital a few days ago, their practice progress has slowed down.

Yoo Jeongyeon picked up her iced Americano and took a sip, but her handsome face, paired with the white brace around her neck and blonde hair, looked rather comical.

"Hhh~ Jeongyeon, let unnie take a picture of you~"

When Lim Na-yeon saw her friend's current look, she couldn't help but want to scream! The white brace was prescribed by a doctor introduced by her boyfriend a few days ago; it's part of a treatment procedure.

"Hey, don't take pictures, and definitely don't share them in the group chat!"

"Damn it, otherwise that bastard Gong Cheng will turn me into a meme again..."

Yoo Jeong-yeon rolled her eyes in strong resistance.

"Oppa and Tzuyu have arrived in China and are having dinner with Lay."

Kim Da-hyun lay on the floor, legs crossed, scrolling through photos shared by Tzuyu in the group chat. The time bomb has returned home!
Finally, she could have two days of peace. As for the kissing scene with the handsome guy? It's already been filmed! What's there to be afraid of?! Besides, she heard from the handsome guy that *Parasite* will be released next spring…

There are still several months to go, it's still early! Why worry unnecessarily? After being around the big shot for so long, I've picked up his carefree, irresponsible attitude and spirit quite well.

"Drip bell bell!"

Just as I was looking at the photos, Tofu's phone rang.

She quickly got up from the floor, picked up the dog food and poured it into May's food bowl. May, who had clearly grown taller and stronger than when she was brought home, no longer needed goat milk powder or anything like that and could eat dog food normally, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"May, time to eat!"

Lieutenant Jin put his hands on his hips and shouted.

"Momo and I just asked our manager unnie, and we don't have any schedules on the 15th; it's a practice day."

The practice room door was pushed open, and Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai walked in one after the other to inform the members of the good news.

"Really Mo?"

"Will PDnim agree to our travel plans?"

Nayeon immediately stopped mocking her friend's unique style and turned her attention to something else.

"They should agree, right? I heard from their manager that PDnim was complaining the other day that if it weren't for a performance he had on the 15th, he would have gone to Oppa's concert at the Bird's Nest..."

Hirai Momo picked up the milk tea on the table, took a sip, and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"A stage? What kind of comedy stage is it?"

Son Chaeyoung sat listlessly next to Mina, pursed her lips and muttered something.

Since Twice and their oppa have become increasingly popular, PDnim seems to have put less emphasis on company management and more on the identity of solo artist Park Jin-young, first by publishing an autobiography and then by trying out various stages.

She felt that PDnim had made all the artists under his company a laughing stock in the industry. She had also heard from her boyfriend that PDnim had always wanted to form some kind of group with him...

"I'm looking forward to seeing what color leather pants they'll be!"

Kim Da-hyun raised an eyebrow and made a joke.

"However, Momo and I have already told our manager unnie about our idea of ​​going to China to see a concert. Unnie said she will contact PDnim later, and it seems like there shouldn't be any problem."

Sana Minatozaki blinked her bright eyes. This morning, they had been discussing that instead of slacking off in the company's practice room, they should apply to the company for a group trip to China to see their male idol's concert.

She couldn't attend her husband's "Sunrise Concert" a few months ago, so how could she miss it this time?

For most celebrities, except for longer holidays, they need to apply for and report to their management company before traveling. Business trips, however, don't usually require this...

"OK, if PDnim agrees, let's tell Tzuyu to keep it a secret~"

"Let's give Haji Cheng a surprise!"

Yu Dingyan nodded in approval.

"..."

Lim Nayeon and the others discussed it amongst themselves.

Son Chaeyoung sat against the wall with her legs spread out, her eyes drooping. She tilted her head and rested it on Mina's shoulder, then affectionately raised her eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Unnie knows I'm dating Oppa, right?"

"Oh ah?"

Mina was leaning against Son Chaeyoung's head, engrossed in playing Minecraft and controlling her pixelated character, when the unexpected question almost made her tell the truth. Her delicate white hands swiped haphazardly across the screen to hide her inner turmoil.

She forced a smile and turned her head to look at the little tiger, while Son Chaeyoung's cheek, which was resting on her shoulder, was lifted up.

The two instantly snapped out of their intimate state, creating a brief distance between them. Their eyes met, as if they were in a fighting stance.
"...I don't know..."

Mina denied it in a very low voice, her eyes darting around at the noisy members. She was terrified that the other members would hear Chaeyoung's confession, and then Makoto would be doomed!
After answering Son Chaeyoung's lie, she took a deep breath, forced herself to fix her wandering gaze on Chaeyoung's face, and tried her best to put on an expression of complete surprise, "You're not kidding, are you... Chaeyoung..."

"Some things shouldn't be said carelessly."

"Ani-ah~ Unnie, how could I say something like that?" Son Chaeyoung's light, childlike voice rang out, her little tiger teeth flashing in a happy smile, but the ambiguous smile in her eyes made Mina extremely uncomfortable.

As she spoke, the little tiger glanced at the actions of the other members around her. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she raised her little hand and pulled down the collar of her white long-sleeved shirt. There were some pink hickeys below her collarbone and near her chest.

After a brief demonstration, she released her grip, letting the collar snap back. "Does Unnie still think I'm joking?" Son Chaeyoung presented the evidence left by her boyfriend last night and awaited Mina's reply.

She always felt that, as a father-in-law and an open and aboveboard mother, she should naturally stand up and defend her status and dignity!
Otherwise, wouldn't that make us seem too easy to bully?
Mina unnie is clearly trying to steal her boyfriend! But she doesn't want the other members to know about it, so she secretly warned unnie!
If you keep doing this, I won't be polite! Besides, this unnie is so smart, she suspects that unnie probably knew about her relationship with her boyfriend a long time ago, but if you knew, why did you still do it?

Isn't that even more infuriating?

"..."

Mina glanced silently at Chaeyoung, feeling her plans had been disrupted! She had originally intended to rescue Makoto after he was cruelly dumped, but now she'd been caught by Chaeyoung…

At this moment, she felt a sense of shame so great that she wanted to rot. Although Makoto had no good intentions towards her, wasn't she the same way?
"Really..."

"real!"

The two put on a show, exchanging a few meaningless words! Mina decided to adopt a more conciliatory approach. Her expression was one of surprise, as if she had just learned of their relationship, and she hesitated before whispering, "Chaeyoung..."

"Actually, I think Makoto might not be a good match for you?"

The words had barely left her mouth when Son Chaeyoung's smiling face changed, and she asked back, "Then is it suitable for you?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant, Chaeyoung... I just think that Makoto isn't a good person..." Mina said in a soft voice, her face slightly flushed, as if she was concerned for Son Chaeyoung, her lying not very skillful.

"……what?"

Upon hearing this, Son Chaeyoung smiled, her cheeks showing a mix of naivety and amusement. She smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear, raised the small mole on her chin, and whispered, "Is unnie a good person?"

Oppa is a bad guy to begin with, but unnie, you flirted with oppa right in front of me, how can you be a good person?
However, she didn't say it aloud, wanting to leave some room for maneuver for both of them and Oppa...

Mina quickly glanced at Chaeyoung, then hurriedly lowered her eyelashes. She really didn't know how to answer that question. To be honest, she and Makoto weren't really at that stage yet. She just wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. So she opened her mouth...
"I……"

Before she could finish speaking, Son Chaeyoung seemed unwilling to listen to her answer and instead asked seriously, "So, unnie, do you know that Oppa and I are dating now?"

The very serious tone made Mina a little annoyed, but she still nodded, "Understood..."

After thinking about it carefully, she quickly understood why the little tiger, even though he knew she knew about her relationship with Cheng-chan, still went out of his way to ask...

Isn't it just a way to assert their sovereignty and put a moral shackle on Unnie first?
Will Unnie bless us?

Will you keep it a secret for us?

Sun Caiying smiled as if she had won a battle, feeling as if all the pent-up emotions in her heart had been swept away.

Blessings? Heh... Mina subtly curled the corner of her mouth, "Yes..."

I'll keep it a secret for Makoto, but I won't wish you well. You'll have your day to cry later...

"Unnie~ You're so kind~ Thank you~"

The little tiger's expression changed in an instant, and it reached out to hug Mina, letting out a sweet, coquettish hum, "I'm so happy to hear your blessing..."

Mina found these words grating, like a smug taunt, rubbing salt into her wounds. She glanced at Sana and Nayeon on the sofa not far away, lowered her eyes, and a forced smile spread across her fair face.
"Chaeyoung, some things are only yours if you can control them, otherwise..."

"Um... I admit what you said makes a lot of sense, but unnie, people and things are different. Objects don't have feelings, but people do, and they're more complex! Like Oppa, I won't stop his feelings from growing, but I will try to stop... just an example~ unnie, don't be angry~"

"For example...you!!!"

Son Chaeyoung said casually, "What? You want to wait until I break up with my boyfriend so you can take over?"
What kind of sucker is this?! Keep dreaming!
"...Hehehe, that makes sense."

Mina chuckled indifferently, "Heh, naive! One-sided!"

You caught me?

Have you caught Nayeon unnie and Sana-chan yet?
……

……

"Are you guys really coming, unnie?"

In the hotel, Tzuyu, wearing a face mask, stared intently at Nayeon unnie, Sana unnie, and Momo unnie from the day of their video call.
She had originally planned to accompany her brother to his concert in China by herself, but seeing the excited expressions on the faces of her three unnies, her plans were ruined...

"Yes~"

"Tzuyu, are you jealous?"

On the other end of the camera, Hirai Momo was drying her wet hair with a towel and made a joking remark with a smile.

"Unnie~!!"

Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu's eyes darted around, and her tone became more forceful, sounding somewhat angry.

Nayeon and Sana also glanced at Momo Hirai with twitching lips. What did she say?!
"Oh, I was just kidding..."

Hirai Momo's eyes held a wise smile, knowing when to stop!

Nayeon unnie, prepare to die!

The other members could all see that Tzuyu's feelings for her mentor seemed to have changed a little, especially this year. She was always clinging to her mentor and showing concern for her and so on.

The brilliant and wise Momo-chan, I don't believe Nayeon unnie can't see it?!

They're just playing dumb!
She's going to break the ice, but I'll show you! How can you prove you're worthy of being my teacher's wife if you don't have a proper showdown with the maknae?

"In short, PDnim has agreed..."

"Our tickets are for the 14th, and we'll probably arrive in Beijing after 10 PM. We'll go straight to the hotel to rest then, and then go to that kid's concert the next day..."

Lim Na-yeon smacked her lips, somewhat speechless at Hirai Momo's ramblings.

The relationship between the maknae (youngest member) and her boyfriend is, well, a source of considerable headache for her. She doesn't want to damage the harmony of the group, but she also wants the maknae to back down. Currently, she doesn't have a good idea...

"By the way, Ziyu, you have to keep this a secret from him, we want to give him a surprise..."

Sana Minatozaki sat on the sofa, rubbing her face with face cream, and reminded him, "He probably wouldn't expect the members to go to his concert to support him, would he?"

"Should we order a cake to bring over?"

"After all, this is his first concert in the official sense!"

Lim Nayeon snapped her fingers and came up with an idea.

"..."

Chou Tzu-yu leaned silently against the headboard of the hotel bed, listening to her unnies' thoughts, and just thought they were noisy...

She rolled over and returned the cake!
I didn't even think about preparing a cake...

So annoying!
