Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 35 RM
After hanging up the phone, Lee Kwang-soo, still beaming with the joy of completing his mission, turned to Kang Cheol at the door and launched into a long-winded monologue.

"Aigoo, Taeyeon-ah!" Lee Kwang-soo's voice was still loud and clear, with a touch of familiarity. "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here! Yoona asked you to come and help her with her things? Thank you so much. This girl is really something, she's not even home and she still troubles you to make the trip."

Jiang Che internally screamed, "Tired? I'm tired of dealing with this surprise!" But on the surface, he could only maintain Kim Tae-yeon's signature faint smile and nod gently, "Yeah, Kwang-soo-ssi, it's nothing."

“But speaking of which,” Lee Kwang-soo seemed to have suddenly discovered something, leaned closer, lowered his voice, and asked with a hint of gossip, “you were inside just now… why didn’t you open the door?”

I knocked for ages and even shouted. I thought a burglar had broken into Yoona's house, and I almost called the police!

Jiang Che's mind raced as he tried to mimic the bewildered Yan's tone: "Huh? Did Oppa knock? I... I was listening to a demo with my headphones on, and the volume was a bit loud, so I really didn't hear it... I'm sorry, Oppa."

Seeing Taeyeon's expression, Lee Kwang-soo suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "Ah! So that's how it is! I knew it! I understand. Oh dear, I almost misunderstood you. I thought Yoona was hiding some kind of secret, hahaha!"

Jiang Che's inner thoughts: "You scared me to death!" On the surface, he smiled and said: "Oppa, you're so funny."

Just then, Jiang Che's phone vibrated in his pocket. He knew who it was without even looking. Maintaining his smile, he blindly rummaged in his pocket, silently thinking, "Yoona, I'm really in a bind right now."

However, Lee Kwang-soo clearly had no intention of leaving immediately. Having solved the "knocking mystery," and recalling the good news that Yoona had agreed to record Running Man, he was in high spirits and looked at Taeyeon in front of him: "Taeyeon-ah, do you want to give oppa an autograph?"

An autograph? An autograph of Kim Tae-yeon's name? Kang Cheol's eyes were filled with doubt:

"An autograph? Oppa, you... you're not thinking of taking the autograph and then selling it online, are you?"

"Pfft!" Lee Kwang-soo's smile froze instantly, and he visibly panicked. His eyes darted around, and his voice rose eight octaves, "Ani ani, how could this be, Taeyeon! What kind of person do you think Oppa is!"
Am I that kind of person? I genuinely want to cherish this! Cherish it! Understand? I would never sell it!

Looking at this expression, Jiang Che felt that even the well-behaved Yan was about to lose her composure. He glanced around, took a piece of white paper from the entrance, and prepared to sign it quickly so that this guy could get lost.

While signing, Kang Cheol's phone vibrated a second time in his pocket. Kang Cheol sped up, quickly finished signing, and handed it to Lee Kwang-soo.

Lee Kwang-soo accepted the autograph as if it were a treasure: "Okay, oppa won't bother you anymore. Please say hello to Yoona for me." Lee Kwang-soo waved happily, feeling that everything was going smoothly for him today, and turned to leave.

"Okay, Oppa, take care." Jiang Che maintained his smile, nodded obediently, and breathed a huge sigh of relief: he had finally seen this big shot off!
After closing the door, I quickly took out my phone and my fingers flew across the screen: [You have the nerve to blame me? If you don't need your phone anymore, we can swap. I still have an old phone!]

Don't worry, I know him. Running Man is still really popular. I tried pretending no one was home, but he already heard me. I was pretty desperate!
Yoona wanted to retort but didn't know how: [You... isn't this all your fault for making a sound?]
Jiang Che continued, his fingers flying across the keyboard: [Those who aren't moving are either dead or turtles]
Upon seeing this, Yoona's lips curled into a slight smile: [You'll get your revenge when I get home!]
Jiang Che: [Then you'd better come back quickly, I'm scared to death!]
Yoona looked at the last annoying "I'm so scared" on the screen, and the smile that had just appeared on her face vanished instantly!

Then Yoona quickly stuffed her phone into her bag, grabbing her coat and bag as she spoke rapidly: "Taeyeon unnie, I suddenly remembered, there's something I need to do at home..."

I have to hurry back and check. I'm leaving now, unnie, see you later." Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed to the door like a gust of wind, leaving Taeyeon with only her hurriedly disappearing back view.

Taeyeon looked at the door that was still shaking slightly, pursed her lips slightly, and said in a voice so soft it was almost like talking to herself, "Yoona... I think... I'm about to guess your secret..." Her eyes held a hint of cunning and understanding.

"Click."

The sound of a key turning in the lock echoed as the apartment door was opened.

In the living room, Jiang Cheyan was sprawled on the sofa, his hair a mess from his own rubbing, engrossed in a mobile game, his fingers flying across the screen as he muttered to himself, "Go! Flank! Cut the backline! Oh my god, what teammates..." Hearing the door open, he didn't even look up: "Yoona? Why are you back so fast?" His tone was full of surprise.

At the door, Yoona slammed the door shut. Looking at Jiang Cheol, still engrossed in his game on the sofa, she felt the anger that had dissipated on the way back surge up again. "I'm back so quickly? Aren't you happy?"

This tone finally made Jiang Che realize that something was wrong. He looked up and met Yoona's murderous gaze.

Jiang Che's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if he had seen this scene somewhere before: "Uh... Yoon... Yoon-ah?" He subconsciously adjusted his posture.

really!

Yoona rushed into the living room, grabbed the familiar weapon, and yelled, "Kang Cheol! Who told you to open the door?!" She then threw a cushion at Kang Cheol's butt: "Who is Lee Kwang-soo?!"

He's a walking gossip generator! What if he goes back and chats with Taeyeon unnie and it explodes?

"Thump!" Another pillow landed on my butt this time.

"Can't you pretend no one's home? Even if I heard your voice, I would have just told him to leave! What's the meaning of you opening the door? Do you think you did it on purpose?"

Yoona talked as she hit him, just like a parent driven crazy by a naughty child.

Jiang Che really wanted to tell Yun'er to change her position and stop constantly grabbing at her butt, but he swallowed the words back and quickly tried to make amends: "I was just worried he'd think you were hiding a man in your house, and what if he thought it was a thief and called the police?"

"Where can I hide? This is called... strategic opening of the door. See, nothing happened in the end." He really wanted to turn his head and show Yoona his sweet smile, but he was afraid of being beaten even more.

"Stability my foot! Are you strategically feeding the enemy kills? I'm so angry!" Yoona stomped her foot in frustration and threw another cushion at him.

However, she immediately stopped, her eyebrows furrowing: "Wait, you just said... hiding a man?" She looked Jiang Che up and down suspiciously.

Jiang Che had a bad feeling in his heart, so he quickly turned his head to change the subject and said in a fast-paced manner: "By the way, Lee Kwang-soo said before that you were going to record 'Running Man'?"
Yoona was indeed swayed by the rhythm and was also tired from playing, so her attention was instantly drawn away, and she thought about her previous decision.

A smile of utmost kindness graced his face.

She tossed aside the cushion, walked a few steps to the sofa, and slowly pulled out the invitation book with the "Running Man" program logo from her bag.

Clutching the invitation, she turned around, and the benevolent smile on her face sent chills down Jiang Che's spine even more than when she had hit him earlier.

"Jiang Che-xi~" Yoona's voice suddenly became sweet and sticky, with the last syllable drawn out and accompanied by a wavy line that gave people goosebumps.
