Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 297 Precious Treasures

"Don't praise her! If that guy hears you praising her, he'll start saying that a rumored girlfriend is practically a girlfriend again."

Just thinking about it makes Zhimin want to laugh. That girl spoke such outrageous things with such a serious expression; she has no idea what she was thinking.

"I just admire her a little. She's not faking it; it's a natural talent."

Throughout Chen Shijun's life as a wanderer, he had encountered women like this before—women who knew how to let down their guard in front of men, using their seemingly natural vulnerability and unguarded sincerity to touch people's hearts.

However, upon seeing Zhimin's puffed-out cheeks, he reached out and pinched the back of her neck. The girl snuggled into his arms like a cat being stroked.

The sound was muffled by the fabric of her shirt, and her little tongue licked his chest bit by bit, just like a cute little pet.

"But she just said I wasn't in the dorm. Isn't that betraying me? Maybe she did it on purpose."

Actually, although Zhimin said that, she was just joking. That guy probably wouldn't do that, and in the end, she managed to fool him.

Chen Shijun still had some things to take care of, so he sat on the sofa replying to work emails on his laptop, while Xiao She lay on her side, watching the man work diligently.

"Oppa! Your company's group should be debuting soon, right? I can't wait to see them as my rivals."

She gently rubbed the man's back with the soles of her feet, as if searching for acupoints to massage him, but Chen Shijun remained unmoved, leaving the other man somewhat bored.

Only after closing the laptop did I turn around and grab her ankle. Seeing her reddened ears but her forced fierce expression, I couldn't help but feel amused.

Compared to Wonyoung and Eunchae's shoes, which are close to size 40, Jimin and Miyeon's shoe sizes are about the same, around size 35 or 36.

She is considered relatively small for a female idol. Wonyoung said that as a female idol, having relatively large feet is necessary to support various dance moves.

Of course, the main reason is her height. Yuan Ying is already 173cm tall, and she might grow even taller in the future. She was a little embarrassed when I took her to order shoes last time.

With a deliberate tap of her fingertip on the sole of her foot, Zhimin immediately curled up in a ball, her feigned bravado vanishing instantly, leaving only giggles and pleas for mercy.

"Stop messing around! Treat them as rivals, or you'll be trampled underfoot one by one. Let me tell you, our new group's leader is also very powerful."

Chen Shijun said that although the captain of Team N is a little younger, he is honest, reliable, and has great resilience. Most importantly, he is a good person.

"What do you mean by 'good person'? How am I not a good person? Oppa, do you think I'm a bad girl?"

Zhimin had never thought or believed that way before. Naturally, she was somewhat unconvinced by Chen Shijun's high evaluation of this trainee.

After all, she was a team leader. Whether she was reliable or not was another matter, but how was that not being honest? Besides, she had a lot of resilience. When so many people were criticizing her, she didn't take it seriously.

Thinking about this, the little snake felt a little proud. Her ability to withstand pressure was unmatched. She was indeed born to do this job. Perhaps this was the reason why she was chosen as the captain.

It's absolutely impossible that there were no other options. Excluding the two green card holders, there were only two choices: himself and Jin Dongdong. However, being able to defeat Jin Dongdong in the end should also be a testament to his strength.

"That's not what I meant. Our Zhimin is a good person, of course." Although she has many flaws, such as arrogance, recklessness, and a rather abstract style of doing things, Chen Shijun likes this interesting soul, and of course, her body as well.

Chen Shijun could also find countless good qualities in her, such as her frankness and sincerity, her strong initiative, and her kind heart.

Although I sometimes go a bit too far with winter, most of the time I treat it with complete honesty and sincerity. When I go out to play, I always think of winter when I see something delicious or fun.

Just as the two were arguing about whether snatching a child's swing in the park was a good thing, without reaching a final conclusion, Winter called at just the right time.

The little snake quickly gestured to Chen Shijun to be quiet. This girl must have just finished her live stream, and probably felt it was inappropriate to mention during the stream that she wasn't in her dorm, so she called to apologize.

"Why are you calling so late? Didn't I say I wasn't going back to the dorm today? Well, you actually betrayed me during the live stream!"

The little snake took the initiative and, with a series of moves, adopted the attitude that since the snake had come to its door, it would have to teach the guy a lesson.

"Since that's the case, then I have nothing more to say. You bastard, I actually feel a little guilty."

Actually, this isn't a big deal. If the person involved hadn't been intentional, it wouldn't have attracted any attention. Of course, if there's another incident like this, whether someone will dig it up as evidence is another matter.
"Your attitude is not good. I just watched your live stream. You should treat me like you would your fans and say some nice things to me."

Zhimin even imitated Dongtian's slow, deliberate way of speaking, but this feeling was very comfortable when Dongtian did it. It was as if Zhimin was giving Dongtian a close-up look.

"Hmm? A nice voice? I'll tell you about it when you get back, but I didn't disturb you and Director Chen today, did I?"

Hearing Dongtian's cautious tone, Zhimin rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Don't you know whether I'm bothering you or not? Is it unfair to say you're good at pretending?"
"Excuse me, my oppa is angry! He said that Kim Dong-won is so lazy and doesn't even blink. He's so annoying."

After glancing at Chen Shijun, the little snake began to lie through her teeth, leaving the man sitting to the side listening to the two girls' performance speechless. He hadn't said anything like that.

"You're just talking nonsense. Director Chen would never talk like that. I've met Director Chen, and he's clearly a highly cultured person. He wouldn't say something like that. I think you're just making things up."

Dong Tian knew in her heart that Chen Shijun was very likely with her, and might even be listening in from the side, so naturally she would say some nice things.

"Director Chen looks like a refined and cultured person, and he's very reasonable. He speaks slowly and deliberately. Now I understand why you've become so worthless."

He kept showering the captain's man with praise in a humorous tone. Even with his rich life experience, Chen Shijun was not immune to praise, something that all humans love. At least, he felt quite comfortable being flattered.

"What did you say? How am I worthless? If I were worthless, would Se-joon oppa like me so much? You brat, is that how you talk to the leader? You're doomed, I'll definitely teach you a lesson when we get back."

He used to call himself a powerful and authoritative captain in front of Chen Shijun, but now Dongtian's words have made him lose face. How could he not be angry?

"Oppa! Didn't you say that I'm your precious treasure? Didn't you say that?"

She shouted at Chen Shijun, clearly speaking to the person on the other end of the phone, a demeanor that perfectly matched her stereotype.
