Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 133 Not as good-looking as you

Jiang Yan ignored the online opinions because he would not make any statement in any way.

Moreover, it's hard for onlookers to fully accept Alice's explanation, as many passersby who have a good impression of Jiang Yan have come out to refute it.

It wasn't just EO that made a comeback that week; PSY also made a comeback that week, right? Why didn't his fans say anything?

It's as if the whole world has to revolve around EO.

It can only be said that Alice's reputation is what it is, which makes what they guessed quite correctly seem like nonsense to others, so not many people believe it.

The general consensus is that the release date for Jiang Yan and IU's collaboration was pre-arranged.

In short, although there was a stir online that day, there was no major public opinion, and the uproar subsided within half a day.

This is the benefit of building a good reputation for your work. If Jiang Yan were an unknown actor, he wouldn't have so many casual viewers speaking up for him.

Feli certainly played a significant role, but I won't go into details.

Jiang Yan is currently in his apartment; he didn't go to CUBE today.

Since returning from MAMA, he hasn't had a proper rest, but after finally finishing his second Japanese single yesterday, he took a day off.

He slept in until 10 a.m., which was unusual for him, but around noon, an "uninvited guest" came to his apartment.

TWAS also had a short break from work these past two days, and Mina came over to his place today using a reason that Jiang Yan didn't know about, after leaving her dorm room.

After sitting down on the sofa with his partner, Jiang Yan asked curiously, "What excuse did you use to get out?"

Mina simply said, "I told them I went out to get my nails done."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately understood.

This was indeed an excuse that wouldn't arouse suspicion from the other members, since everyone knew that Mina was a serious nail art enthusiast.

I need to get a new manicure at least once a week.

"But if you use that excuse, won't you still have to go to the nail salon later?"

"Yes, don't worry, I checked the map before I came, there's one near your apartment building."

Jiang Yan looked at Mina and thought to himself that she was well-prepared, as she seemed to be in complete control of the situation.

If it were someone with Hirai Momo's intelligence, she probably wouldn't be able to do something so detailed.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Before coming here, I ate stone pot rice with them near the dormitory."

"Okay, you sit here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and cook some ramen to tide me over."

"Aren't you going to order takeout?"

"I don't know what to order, I'll just grab something to eat first."

As Jiang Yan spoke, he got up and went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator and take out some ingredients to mix into the ramen later.

After her boyfriend left, Mina simply took off her slippers and lay on her side on the sofa playing on her phone.

A dozen minutes later, Jiang Yan quickly finished his ramen.

After he finished cleaning up the dishes, he walked out of the kitchen and happened to see Mina taking a selfie with her phone.

He walked over, and Mina, who heard the noise, immediately put down her phone, turned around, winked at him, and smiled, "You're done eating."

Jiang Yan nodded: "Yes, I'm done eating."

After he finished speaking, he sat down next to Mina and leaned in to kiss her.

But as soon as she made another move, the other person covered her mouth with her hand in disgust and said, "I won't let you kiss me, go rinse your mouth first."

After hearing this, Jiang Yan stopped forcing himself, even though he knew that even if he kissed Mina, Mina wouldn't really be angry with him.

"Alright then, I won't kiss you anymore." Jiang Yan deftly pulled back from his leaning body, took out his phone from his pocket, and looked down to check if he had missed any work-related messages while he hadn't looked at his phone.

However, his action led Mina to mistakenly believe that he was angry because he wouldn't let her kiss him.

In Mina's eyes, Jiang Yan's sudden action of withdrawing his hand to look at his phone meant that he was secretly angry and didn't want to talk to her for the time being.

But in reality, if the other party had just used a little more force, she wouldn't have resisted.

Girls in the throes of new love tend to be more sensitive and overly attentive to and interpreting their partner's body language.

So, just as Jiang Yan was looking through the unread text messages Jiang Zhennan had sent him, he caught a glimpse of two fair arms reaching out and hooking around his arms.

Then, Mina leaned closer, rested her chin on his shoulder, and gently shook his arm in a slightly coquettish tone, saying, "Hiko-chan, don't be angry~".

Jiang Yan paused for a moment, then put down his phone, turned around, and said with a puzzled expression, "What are you talking about? I'm not angry."

He didn't know how the other person suddenly came to the conclusion that he was angry.

However, after seeing that Jiang Yan did not admit it, Mina became even more convinced that the other party must be secretly angry, but just not saying it.

At that moment, she tightened her grip on his arm and said, "Then kiss me."

Upon hearing her request, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Didn't you just refuse to let me kiss you?"

"That was just now, now is now."

"Then I'll kiss him."

Jiang Yan didn't think much of it; he simply assumed it was because women's minds were fickle.

He raised his hand to cup Mina's face, intending to kiss her on the cheek, but just before he could, Mina suddenly turned her head and took the kiss with her lips.

Jiang Yan originally didn't plan to do anything today, but in the end he did everything anyway.

After they finished, they cuddled together in bed for a while before going to the bathroom to take a shower together. Then they picked up their clothes, which had been scattered around the room, and got dressed.

After getting dressed, Jiang Yan checked the time; it was already past 2 PM.

"It's getting late, you still need to go to the nail salon, right?" Jiang Yan reminded Mina, who was combing her hair in front of the mirror.

-

"Um, are you coming with me?" Mina stopped what she was doing and looked over to ask.

"Sure, I'll take you back to your dorm after you get your nails done, and then I'll go to the company on the way."

Jiang Yan had originally planned to go to CUBE that afternoon because she had previously paid someone to make a simple music video for "W/X/Y".

The animation was sent to his email this morning.

He plans to test it in the studio, and if there are no problems, he can make final adjustments to the sound before uploading it to NicoNico.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yan put on a mask and went downstairs with Mina to the nail salon the other person had mentioned.

He watched the nail technician at the shop do an exquisite manicure on Mina's five fingers the whole time.

After leaving the shop, Mina held up her five newly done fingers to Jiang Yan and asked, "Does it look good?"

After giving it a cursory glance, Jiang Yan said in a very formal tone, "It looks good."

"How does it compare to the previous one?" Mina asked, holding up her other hand, which didn't have a new manicure.

"They're all pretty good-looking, but—"

"But what?"

"It's just that he's not as good-looking as you."

The change in tone startled Mina for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

It was just a simple compliment, but when it came from the other person's mouth, she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
