Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 283 Isn't this going to explode?

"Curious? Curious about what?"

Chen Shijun stared at the familiar face with a touch of baby fat in front of him, like a high school student who had been caught red-handed trying to remain calm, stammering and refusing to speak.

"I heard you're slandering me as a pot-bellied, greasy middle-aged man. Is that true?"

Suddenly having the idea to scare the girl, Chen Shijun deliberately put on a stern face and his voice became very cold.

"Ah! I don't know! I didn't!"

I never expected Liu Zhimin to tell everyone about this. I'm so angry! I'm going to have to fight her when I get back.

Looking at the man's clear face, with his deep and upright features, well-proportioned and slender figure, and composed demeanor, he was nowhere near the greasy middle-aged man she had described.

"Director Chen is very handsome. All the male artists in SM Entertainment combined can't compare to a single hair of his."

Winter's words almost slipped out, but he froze afterward, wondering how they had turned into such an exaggerated, almost fawning compliment.

She must have been terrified and said the wrong thing; she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Chen Shijun was clearly taken aback by her sudden remark, and for a moment he was at a loss for words. The usually eloquent man was speechless.

However, this guy really amused himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, eventually letting out a soft laugh that was very clear in the quiet night, but sounded very mocking in the winter.

"You're quite the smooth talker, but you're exaggerating a bit."

There's nothing I can do to her, so I'd better appease her and let her go. After all, she's Zhimin's teammate! We might have to deal with each other again in the future.

"Hehe! Hehehe!"

The girl just smiled foolishly and couldn't say a word. All she wanted to do was ride her skateboard back to her dorm right away.

"What are you laughing at! Do I look that funny?"

The more she did this, the more it aroused the man's desire to provoke her. Chen Shijun leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between them, so that he could see her trembling eyelashes more clearly.

"It's Zhimin, she's always talking nonsense, and she's really gotten on my nerves..."

She wanted to explain, but felt that it would be like speaking ill of Zhimin in front of this man, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the girl was almost brought to tears by his teasing, Chen Shijun straightened up and resumed a gentler tone.

"Alright, alright, you should go home early. The rain seems to be getting heavier."

Chen Shijun felt his glasses were getting blurry and was also worried that Zhimin might get wet in the rain. But that girl wasn't stupid; she should know to go indoors when it rains.

On the contrary, it would be rather foolish for the two of them to be standing in the rain here. Since it was winter and not paparazzi taking pictures, Chen Shijun felt relieved.

Winter felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and quickly nodded to indicate that she would go back immediately. She then said goodbye to Chen Shijun, picked up her electric skateboard, and turned to run away.

"Wait a moment!"

Chen Shijun called her again, and Dongtian stiffly stopped in her tracks, her heart pounding.

"It's so late and raining, don't ride this thing. If you fall and get hurt, it will affect the team. Take my car instead."

After all, she was Zhimin's teammate and one of the members with whom they had a good relationship. Chen Shijun felt that he should also help Xiaoshe build a good relationship.

"Oh? No need, no need! Really, there's no need for that trouble!"

Winter quickly refused. If Chen Shijun were to escort her back to her dormitory, Liu Zhimin would surely kill her if she saw it.

"It's no trouble at all. It would be a real problem if you fell down or caught a cold on the way, which would delay your practice and schedule." The man was probably used to being a leader, and he didn't speak in a consultative tone, but rather in a manner similar to giving orders to a subordinate.

Winter clearly found it hard to refuse such an undeniable force, and felt that refusing would be ungrateful. Seeing Chen Shijun waiting for her not far away, she had no choice but to return the skateboard.

"Thank you so much, Director Chen. You are truly grateful."

It wasn't until I got into this man's car that I felt it was almost like a dream. The luxurious interior showcased his wealth, and I gained a new impression of HYBE's young tycoon.

It's no wonder that Liu Zhimin was reluctant to let go at such a crucial time in her debut. Any normal woman would be reluctant to let go, right? She really got what she wanted. But while I can understand, what she did to humiliate me was just too much.

"I won't mention what happened today to Zhimin."

Chen Shijun's casual remark startled Dong Tian for a moment, but she quickly realized that he was telling her not to mention his stalking to Liu Zhimin.

"Wow! Thank you so much, Director Chen!"

She nodded vigorously, wishing the whole thing had never happened; this was the best possible outcome.

Sitting in the back seat, Liu Zhimin tried to ease the awkwardness by playing on her phone. In the group chat, she said she wouldn't go home that night but would go back to her dorm. She also bought a lot of fruit and snacks, wanting to spend a wonderful evening with everyone.

Winter knew that she had ruined this guy's beautiful night, and if the truth came out, she would likely humiliate him even more.

Therefore, she was extremely grateful to Chen Shijun. He was indeed a mature man who always considered things so thoroughly. It was truly a case of a beautiful flower being stuck in cow dung with Liu Zhimin.

The car slowly drove away. Winter waved to the rearview mirror in the rain, then sneezed twice in a row, feeling weak all over and her face was a little hot.

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in her heart; she might have caught a cold, and catching a cold at a time like this was not a good thing, as it might seriously affect her work.

Take a quick trip, and at this time, taking a hot bath and taking some cold medicine is the most important thing, even if you don't have a cold, it can be a preventative measure.

Although Chen Shijun had let her get soaked in the rain for a little while, she didn't complain about the man, since he had even driven her back.

This is a director of HYBE, a proper entertainment company executive, and he actually went out of his way to give me a ride. I felt a little vain.

"Where did you go today? I bought some really expensive snacks, and you just disappeared somewhere."

Jimin felt that these members were really lucky. Following Captain Yoo meant they had plenty to eat and drink, and there was no better captain in all of South Korea than herself.

"Didn't Unnie go home? Why is she back again?"

Winter smiled and shook her head, took off her slightly damp coat, grabbed a change of clothes from her dorm room, and was about to take a shower when she felt increasingly heavy.

The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long. After taking some medicine in winter, I quickly became sleepy and snuggled in bed like a sick puppy.

"Minjung! You have a fever! You must get better soon."

Unexpectedly, this guy collapsed not long after returning to the dormitory. He touched his head and it felt a little hot. As the team leader and roommate, Zhimin volunteered to take care of Dongtian.

"Waaaah! I guess I got caught in the rain outside! Unnie, you're so good to me."

She opened her mouth and swallowed the pill that Zhimin handed her. At this moment, she truly understood what sisterly love meant. The days and nights they spent practicing together welled up in her heart.

"Of course! If I'm not good to you, who will be? Do you expect those two foreigners to be good to you?"

Zhimin even reached out and hugged Dongtian, which would have made fans go crazy with comments like "Dongyou99" if they saw it. However, this sisterly affection probably only lasted for one night.

……

"Winter! Winter! Something terrible has happened! You're in love?"
