Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 61 It's back to normal!

Seeing her like this, Jiang Che dared not let her go back, lest she catch a cold in her room. He quickly helped her up:
"Unnie, how are you going to go back like this? Why don't you sleep here tonight? You can sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the sofa."

Taeyeon vaguely heard "sleep here," and tried to open her eyes wide to look at Kang Cheol, her cheeks flushed and her eyes unfocused. Suddenly, she blurted out:
"Mo... what... what do you want to do to me...?"

Jiang Che almost choked on his breath:
"What can I do for you, unnie!" He was truly at a loss for words, wondering what this woman was thinking when she was drunk.
Taeyeon seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to. She staggered, then suddenly lunged forward, clinging softly to Kang Cheol and wrapping her arms around his neck.

A scent mingled with the smell of alcohol and Taeyeon's faint sweet fragrance instantly enveloped Kang Che. He froze, too afraid to move.

Taeyeon looked up at the face so close to hers—Yoona's flawless, beautiful face.

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused. She reached out and gently touched Jiang Che's cheek, murmuring:
"You know... if you weren't Yoona's alternate personality... how wonderful that would be..."

Jiang Che's heart skipped a beat; he didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of those words. Not a secondary personality? Then what could it be?
Taeyeon looked into those eyes that seemed to be filled with boundless freedom, and as she looked, she suddenly became a little lost in thought.

Sunny's teasing and my own chaotic heartbeat flashed through my mind again. What was that line from the TV drama again? If you're unsure how you feel about someone... just kiss them and you'll know?

Anyway... anyway, she's an alternate personality... her memories aren't shared with her main personality, right... even if she did something... Yoona wouldn't know... right?
Alcohol completely destroyed her reason. Taeyeon steeled herself, closed her eyes, hugged Kang Cheol's neck, and tilted her head back to kiss his lips that were so close!

"What the hell?!"

Jiang Che was so frightened that he almost instinctively turned his head sharply!

That kiss, tinged with the smell of alcohol and a sense of finality, finally landed on the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't truly implemented, yet it still brushed against a patch of warmth.

The warm, soft touch swept over him, but it was like an electric current instantly coursing through Jiang Che's entire body!
Taeyeon missed her target, pouted in dissatisfaction, opened her eyes a crack, and mumbled a complaint:
"Hey...why are you avoiding me...?"

Before she could finish speaking, her gaze slowly focused. Her brain, like a lagging media player, processed the scene before her frame by frame.

Hmm... Yoona's hair... why is it shorter... and taller? It seems like her overall features are much clearer, her jawline is sharper, and she looks... a bit more slender?

Her features were still delicate, her eyes seemed more upturned, her nose was straight, and her lips appeared somewhat thin when pressed together.
But the corners of his mouth are naturally slightly upturned, as if he's always plotting something mischievous. His entire face is clean and sharp, like the morning sunlight glistening with dew… Has he become a spirit? A male demon at that!

Taeyeon blinked, then blinked hard again. The alcohol had slowed her reflexes a bit; she held up a finger, pointing unsteadily at the other person's face, her voice filled with confusion:
"Yoona...you...how did you suddenly become so handsome? You're even a bit like a boy!!"

Jiang Che was also confused by her words:

"What boy? Unnie, you've really drunk too much... I..."

As soon as he said it, he froze.

The voice... was deeper and clearer, completely unlike Lin Yoona's bright voice! It was Jiang Che's original voice! He suddenly looked down at his hands—long fingers, distinct knuckles, a man's hands!
Looking at himself again—the collar of the hotel's white bathrobe was slightly open, revealing a flat chest with thin muscle lines, and the frame beneath the bathrobe was noticeably broader…

Shall I wipe it? !
The young master has returned to normal?!
Jiang Che felt as if he had been stared at by Medusa, completely petrified, and his brain went blank.

This is even worse than being killed by a social media post! She's practically magically appearing in front of her own teammates! Should she just confess? But judging from her current state, she should still be able to fool them, right?
After all, this woman's thought process has always been unconventional. She managed to get away with the phone call when she was drunk last time, so there's no reason why I, who am just an ordinary person, can't get away with it after transforming myself!

Meanwhile, Taeyeon on the other side was still pointing at him with a trembling finger, her eyes half-closed and her face flushed.
He seemed to be trying to figure out whether the supernatural phenomenon before him was a near-death experience caused by his alcohol poisoning.

Jiang Che was the first to react—he couldn't let this woman watch any longer; he had to get past this hurdle first, no matter what.
He immediately raised his large, well-defined hand and covered Taeyeon's hazy and inquisitive eyes!

"Ugh...what's wrong..." Taeyeon grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Jiang Che didn't dare to delay at all. He didn't loosen his grip on her eyes, and he desperately chanted in his mind:
"Change back, change back, change back to Yoona"
He glanced nervously at his arms and clothes—the bathrobe was indeed gone! Only after confirming that everything was back to normal did he breathe a long sigh of relief and carefully release his hands from Taeyeon's eyes.

Taeyeon regained her sight, blinked hard, shook her head, and looked at the face that belonged to Im Yoona in front of her, her confusion deepening:
"Just now...I think I saw you..."

"Unnie, you've had too much to drink! You're hallucinating!" Jiang Che retorted, his heart still pounding, but he tried to keep his voice calm.
"You must be too tired today, plus the effects of the alcohol. Come on, go to sleep, we can talk about everything tomorrow when we wake up!"

As he spoke, before Taeyeon could say anything, he bent down, slipped his arms under her knees and back, and with a burst of strength—a princess carry!

"Ah!" Kim Tae-yeon cried out in surprise as her body suddenly levitated, instinctively grabbing Kang Cheol's neck.

Jiang Che carried the squad leader and rushed into the bedroom, gently tossing her onto the bed.

Taeyeon sank into the soft bed, letting out a muffled moan, then opened her big, wet eyes and looked at Kang Cheol in a daze.

Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze, so he quickly pulled the blanket over her, covering her completely except for her rosy cheeks.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed and began his dry, soothing attempt to lull her to sleep, awkwardly patting the blanket over her.

"Sleep, sleep, once you're asleep your head won't be dizzy anymore, your eyes won't be blurry anymore, it was all a hallucination..."

Kim Tae-yeon seemed truly bewitched by this magical hypnotic technique; her eyelids began to droop, her gaze gradually became unfocused, and she unconsciously mumbled:

"Yoona... alternate personality... hiccup..."

After a while, seeing that Taeyeon seemed to have really fallen asleep, Jiang Che began to frantically review the situation.

What's the principle behind this? Can anyone kiss her, or is it only Taeyeon who can kiss her? A real-life frog prince? Pshaw! Is it a stress response mechanism?

Or is it that this broken transformation ability itself comes with this kind of ridiculous trigger condition?!
