Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 29 Yoona's Pleasant and Numbing Experience

"Yoona, you have no idea! The atmosphere was like that. When that hotline call came in, asking about... 930? That question was so pointed! The air froze! Taeyeon unnie was silent! The whole place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! It was so awkward it was suffocating!"

He gestured wildly, trying to recreate the suffocating feeling at the time: "I knew this wouldn't work! To save the day! For Taeyeon unnie! For the image of our Girls' Generation!"
Its mouth moved on its own! The words just came out of its mouth! Really! I swear, it was completely instinctive!

Jiang Che spoke with great enthusiasm and sincerity, as if he were the lone hero who stepped forward when the radio station was in danger. Yoona listened expressionlessly, feeling as if hundreds of ducks were quacking in her ears.

She rubbed her throbbing temples, feeling an even bigger headache. The point wasn't why he said those things, but rather why he said so much. Could he have a histrionic personality disorder?
"So," Yoona interrupted his performance, "have you ever thought that people aren't paying attention to 930 anymore, but now they're all paying attention to me, Lim Yoona!"

"Huh? I really didn't have that many back then!" Jiang Che shook his head like a rattle-drum. Looking at Yoon-ah's sullen face, he subconsciously shrank back and weakly defended himself, "I... I just had a sudden inspiration!"
"A sudden inspiration? I think you just think my life has been too smooth and you need to give me some excitement!" Yoona stared at him intently, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Jiang Che felt uneasy under her gaze and quickly changed the subject: "How can I successfully divert attention without using my ultimate move, right? Besides, look at the four languages, the study tips, and the Einstein references!"

The fans love it! The PD is happy too! What a great atmosphere! Right? It's all for work!

Yoona felt a vein throb on her temple again. Kang Cheol's casual remark about needing to learn three languages ​​to avoid being discovered for the sake of the show... just thinking about it filled her with despair!
She clenched her fist, then slowly relaxed it. Honestly, if it weren't for her physical condition, she would have already done it.

Forget it, even if she killed him now, it wouldn't make a difference. She returned to the core of her original question, her tone inquisitive: "So besides these... language talent? What else can you do? I mean, other skills."

Jiang Che blinked, stealing a glance at Yoona's expression: What should I say? But if I don't say anything, I'll be in trouble when they find out later!

He tentatively and cautiously began reciting the menu: "Hmm... a little bit of parkour? A little bit of combat? A little bit of extreme sports? And then there are all sorts of miscellaneous skills, like cooking, lock picking..."

After hearing Jiang Che's words, Yoona fell into deep thought. After a while, she looked up and tried to make her voice sound like she was just curious: "Parkour? Fighting? Extreme sports?...Why are you learning these?"

Here she comes! The cunning Yoona! Jiang Che's mind raced. "Another round of fabrications! Now I finally understand what it means for one lie to require countless others to cover it up!"

He immediately put on a pained expression as if he had "unbearable memories to recall," and said with a hint of helplessness and lingering fear, "Sigh, Yoona, you have no idea, in my past life I was the class beauty, the school beauty, with fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs!"

"You must understand how troublesome it is when a girl is too pretty," Jiang Che slapped his thigh and began to describe it vividly. "Walking on the street, the number of people turning their heads to look at you is incredible! Not to mention some guys who are too self-important, they're like flies, you can't get rid of them!"

Yoona raised an eyebrow slightly. This opening... why does it sound so much like the opening of some melodramatic drama?
"At first, I thought, if I can't afford to mess with them, can't I at least avoid them?" Jiang Che had a "I'm so smart" look on his face. "I thought, if I can run fast, that should work, right?"

As long as I run fast enough, trouble can't catch me! So I... did some research on how to climb walls and jump over railings more skillfully, which is basically a little bit of parkour.

Yoona: "..." To escape suitors? This is just plain crazy! His thought process is so bizarre it leaves her speechless. "Later I realized that just being fast isn't enough!" Jiang Che's tone shifted, his expression becoming indignant. "Those people were all ganging up on me! Some even tried to physically assault me! I thought I needed to have some self-defense skills! So I learned a little bit of fighting techniques!"

"As for extreme sports..." Jiang Che scratched his head, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile, "It's because of a young boy at the club. I treated him like a younger brother, but he turned around and recognized someone else as his older sister."
How could I tolerate this? After beating them both up, I still felt resentful, but I couldn't kill anyone, so I had no choice but to find some excitement to vent my anger." He nodded vigorously after he finished speaking to enhance his credibility.

A brief silence fell over the living room.

Yoona didn't speak, but narrowed her doe eyes slightly, looking Jiang Che up and down at his current "weathered" and "ill-fated" appearance.

There are so many flaws that I don't even know where to begin.

To escape pursuers, you learn parkour? To avoid unwanted advances, you practice martial arts? To vent your frustrations about extreme sports at a club? The second reason is somewhat understandable, but the first and third reasons are absolutely utter nonsense.

"Alright, alright..." Yoona waved her hand weakly, feeling that her IQ would be polluted if she kept asking: "Kang Cheol definitely has a big problem. I hope it's not as I think, otherwise he'll just have to be buried on an island."

After thinking it over, he glanced at Jiang Che, who was startled by the look in his eyes.

She turned her attention back to her phone. The Girls' Generation group chat was still buzzing with activity, a mix of praise and shocking comments. Except for Taeyeon, who had said that one sentence and then disappeared...
The other members were all excited about discovering Yoona's hidden talent.

[Choi Sooyoung]: Yoona, since you're so amazing, bring your unnie along next time you're on a show! Unnie can handle the eating, and you can handle the talking! We'll be the invincible variety show powerhouse duo!
[Seohyun]: Unnie... Do you have any specific book recommendations regarding reading more books and newspapers?
Looking at the messages from the members, some genuinely praising her and others jokingly teasing her, and seeing the titles like "language genius," "hidden master," and "variety show star" in the group chat, Yoona couldn't help but smile slightly.

Who can resist such overwhelming praise? Even if it's from a counterfeit product... the beneficiary is the real one!

She lowered her head, her fingers flying across the phone screen as she humbly replied to messages in the group chat, trying her best to maintain a calm and collected expression.

Yoona: Sooyoung unnie~ Stop messing around, I just happened to be lucky and knew a few of those phrases~ I'll take you to eat something delicious, no problem!

Yoona: Seohyun...book list...unnie, I'll organize it and send it to you later?
Her reply was impeccable, perfectly portraying the image of a young maknae (youngest member) who has suddenly been discovered to have a bit of talent but remains humble. However, behind the unseen screen of her phone, the smile on Yoona's lips grew wider and wider.

But why would Taeyeon unnie explain for her? A hint of doubt flashed through Yoona's mind as she turned to look at Kang Cheol: "Kang Cheol, did Taeyeon unnie ask you about the four languages ​​yesterday?"

　Newbie seeking everything, let's go!
