Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 162 Ending
Lim Na-yeon also patted her chest and guaranteed:

"Don't worry, unnie! I'll help keep an eye on Tzuyu too!"

Looking at her determined expression, Jiang Che sighed inwardly, but since the matter had already been brought to this point, he couldn't say anything more and could only nod.
"Yes, it's good that you all know what's going on."

At this moment, Lim Nayeon seemed to have discovered something new and interesting, blinking her big eyes and looking curiously at "Sunny":
"Sunny unnie, you seem to care a lot about Tzuyu? Is it because she's so pretty?"

"Unnie!" Tzuyu's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly nudged Nayeon with her elbow, whispering to stop her:

"Freeze said……"

"Pfft—cough cough..." Jiang Che choked on the sudden question and quickly drank some water, waving his hand to try to remain calm:
"Nayeon, you're pretty and cute too! I treat everyone the same!"

These words made Lim Nayeon blush with embarrassment. Under the table, Yoona's foot landed squarely on Kang Cheol's instep.

"Hiss—" Jiang Che gasped, then turned to meet Yoona's "enough is enough" look. He quickly gave Yoona a fawning smile.

As Chou Tzu-yu watched the interaction between the two unnies, the doubts she had suppressed before quietly resurfaced—the way these two unnies interacted...it was really strange.

The dinner party came to an end in this subtle yet harmonious atmosphere.

When it was time to pay, Jiang Che quickly took out his card and handed it over.

"Unnie! Didn't we agree that we'd treat?" Lim Nayeon said hurriedly upon seeing this.

Chou Tzu-yu nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, unnie, it should be our turn this time..."

Jiang Che waved his hand dismissively:

"Hey, don't be so polite with yourselves, unnie! Consider this a small token of our appreciation for your official debut. Once you get your first number one, treat us to a big meal, and we definitely won't hold back then!"

“But…” Zhou Ziyu wanted to insist, but Yoona gently pulled her wrist and said softly:

"It's okay, let the unnies do it this time. We're all looking forward to the day you win first place, and we'll definitely treat you to a good meal then, so don't be stingy then."

Seeing that Yoona unnie also said so, Chou Tzuyu had no choice but to thank her again:
"Um... thank you, unnie."

Lim Na-yeon clenched her fist with confidence:
"Don't worry, unnies! We'll definitely get first place! We'll treat you to a big meal then!"

The four chatted for a while longer in front of the barbecue restaurant, made a promise with Tzuyu to meet again during the show's recording, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Goodbye, unnies!" Lim Nayeon waved, her smile radiant.

Chou Tzu-yu also obediently bowed:
"See you during the recording, Yoona unnie, Sunny unnie."

"Okay, be careful on your way back," Yoona replied gently.

Jiang Che also waved his hand:
"Go back now, see you next time!"

After watching the two juniors walk away, Yoona naturally reached out and took Kang Cheol's arm, and they walked towards the parking lot.

"Speaking of which," Yoona said as if suddenly remembering something, turning her head to look at Jiang Che, her eyes filled with inquiry:

"What exactly did you mean by 'sensitive topic or item' that you mentioned to Ziyu before?" Jiang Che felt the warmth and softness of the touch on his arm, his heart fluttering slightly, but he pretended to be calm and answered vaguely:
"Ah... that was just something I mentioned casually. When you're working hard in a foreign country, it's always good to be careful with your words and actions, it wasn't anything specific."

Yoona glanced at him suspiciously. Although she felt he was definitely not telling the truth, she didn't press the matter. She simply gave a soft "Mmm," but tightened her grip on his arm, her tone teasing:

"Let's go then, unnie."

Hearing "unnie" made Jiang Che's heart skip a beat. He simply leaned close to Yoona's ear and said with a mischievous grin:

"Oh, you call me 'unnie' so naturally, don't you?"

A warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Yoona's cheeks flushed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and said:

"Otherwise what? You have Sunny unnie's face, what else should I call you but unnie?"

“That makes sense.” Jiang Che nodded seriously, then his eyes darted around, and he proposed with a straight face:
"But right now it's just the two of us, why don't you... call me 'Oppa' and let me hear it?"

"Dream on!" Yoona glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, and instinctively tried to pull her hand away.

Jiang Che wasn't about to let her succeed. With a slight tightening of his arm, he caught her hand as she tried to slip away and continued to tease her.

"Hey, don't be so stingy. Look, don't couples on the peninsula call each other 'Oppa'? With our relationship, it's not too much to practice a little beforehand, is it?"

"Who said we're a couple!" Yoona was so angry at his shameless remarks that she almost laughed. She gave his arm a light pinch with her free hand.

"Ouch—!" Jiang Che cried out in pain, and his grip loosened.

Yoona seized the opportunity to abruptly shake off his arm, took a few quick steps, opened the passenger door, and got in. Through the car window, she gestured with her chin towards Jiang Cheol, who was still outside, her tone smug:

"You drive, Sunny unnie."

Seeing her like that, Jiang Che's smile grew even brighter. He slowly walked around to the driver's seat, opened the door, and got in.

The car was cramped, and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous due to their earlier playfulness. Yoona turned her head to look at the Seoul night view rushing past the window, leaving him with only a delicate profile flushed with rosy cheeks.

Jiang Che fastened his seatbelt, started the car, glanced at her like this, and couldn't help but laugh and tease her:
"You really won't call out?"

Yoona suddenly turned her head and glared at him:
"What are you yelling about! Just drive your car!"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Che knew when to stop, realizing that teasing this little deer might really get angry if he continued. He skillfully turned the steering wheel, merged into the traffic, and then asked about the important matter:

"By the way, about that 'Little TV Station' show, are you really coming with me? Sunny clearly only took the job because she wanted me to fill in for her, so why are you doing this? Could it be...?"

He deliberately dragged out his words, giving Yoona a meaningful look, "Is it because of me?"

Yoona's ears burned slightly as he realized she'd hit the nail on the head, but she calmly deflected the blame, saying:
"What else could it be? Sunny unnie specifically told me to keep an eye on you so you don't use her face to spout nonsense again."

Then, after a pause, a hint of anticipation unconsciously crept into her voice as she added:
"Besides, you've always been the one who made a name for yourself on variety shows while wearing our costumes. It's rare for me to be here this time, so I'm quite interested in participating in a variety show with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow:
"Don't worry! Oppa will take you along for the fun, and I guarantee you'll have a fantastic experience!"
