Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 189 looks very busy.

I chatted with Cheng Xiao for about an hour on the plane.

This was arguably the longest conversation Jiang Yan and Yuehua Entertainment had ever had since Jiang Yan joined the company.

Even when we bumped into each other before, we would just exchange a few words of greeting and that would be the end of it.

Even when she was his backup dancer, the two of them could not exchange more than ten words when they were together.

Jiang Yan could naturally sense the change in the other party's attitude towards him, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He could probably guess that this change was due to the filter that came from his current status.

This is a very normal phenomenon.

Just like how he views his two current partners with a bit of a past life filter.

More than ten hours later, when the plane landed at the New York airport, it was a little after 9 p.m. local time.

After arriving at the hotel, the group went to their respective rooms to adjust to the time difference and rest.

The next day, after waking up, Jiang Yan ate the breakfast provided by the hotel and then decided to go out for some fresh air.

The music video shoot started in the afternoon, so he had some free time in the morning.

Before setting off, he asked Cheng Xiao if she wanted to come along, and Cheng Xiao agreed without hesitation.

She rarely comes to New York and doesn't want to just stay in the hotel.

When I got out onto the street, there weren't many pedestrians because it was the time when migrant workers were going to work.

Once in the United States, Jiang Yan stopped wearing a mask when going out. As a result, when some white or black people passed by him, they would subconsciously turn their heads and take another look at Jiang Yan.

These people were amazed by Jiang Yan's tall, handsome, and unconventional Asian male appearance.

Several outgoing white women even boldly approached him and asked to take photos with him.

Jiang Yan naturally did not refuse such a request, even though he knew that these people did not know him at all. It was still a recognition of his appearance, and he would certainly not hesitate to take a photo with them.

As Cheng Xiao watched people asking to take photos with Jiang Yan every now and then, she mistakenly thought that Jiang Yan was already so popular in the United States, and her sense of admiration for her grew even stronger.

After strolling around the neighborhood for a while, Jiang Yan led the group to sit down in a corner coffee shop.

The group ordered drinks, while Jiang Yan casually ordered a hot latte.

After the waiter brought the coffee, he leaned back in the sofa chair, took out his phone, and after a moment of thought, opened his contacts and dialed Mina's number.

The call was answered shortly after it was made.

After answering the call, Jiang Yan lowered his voice and said, "Moshi moshi, is this Mina-chan?"

After a second of silence on the other end of the phone, Mina's somewhat speechless voice came through: "Hiko-chan, what are you talking about? Do you think someone else could answer this call?"

"Haha, don't worry about the details. What time is it in Seoul now?"

"It's already 11 p.m."

Mina knew, of course, that Jiang Yan had gone to the United States, and answered the question cooperatively.

"It's so late over there, what are you doing right now?"

"I was just rehearsing the choreography for our comeback song with the other members, but because you called, I made an excuse to answer the phone."

"Really? Didn't they suspect who called you?"

"No, I said it was a friend of mine in Japan who called me."

"Oh, that's a pretty good reason."

"So what did you call to say?"

Nothing special, I just missed you.

The other end of the phone fell silent after Jiang Yan finished speaking.

A few seconds later, Mina let out a soft hum: "Hmph, lying~"

However, although she said she didn't believe it, the corners of Mina's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly when she heard Jiang Yan say those words.

Jiang Yan could tell that Mina's words weren't sincere, but he didn't take them to heart. Instead, he continued, "Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. Go back and practice. I should be able to find time to come to your comeback showcase."

"Okay, I understand."

Minami responded softly, knowing the call was about to end.

Then, she softly called out, "Haku-chan."

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"I miss you as well."

Mina spoke very softly, but Jiang Yan heard it very clearly.

He immediately replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll come find you after I get back from America."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

With a reluctant tone, Mina hung up the phone.

After making the call, Jiang Yan glanced at the screen where the call had ended, took a sip of his latte, paused for a moment, and then immediately dialed Kim Seolhyun's number.

Since you've called one of them, you can't neglect the other one.

The call was answered after only two rings.

A vibrant voice then came through the receiver.

"Oppa~ Why did you call me?"

If Mina's tone when answering the phone was cool and reserved, then Seolhyun's tone was warm and unrestrained.

The other person's slightly rising tone at the end of their voice revealed obvious joy.

Just by listening to her voice, you can imagine that Kim Seolhyun on the other end of the phone is probably wearing a bright smile right now.

"It's nothing, I just happened to be free right now, so I called you."

"Oh, oppa's already in America?"

"Yeah, I arrived last night. What about you? What are you doing?"

"I'm in the company's practice room, but I'm resting right now."

"In the practice room?"

"Yes, we're going to Japan for a fan meeting soon, so everyone's been preparing for the stage."

"Oh, I see. You must be quite tired lately. You should make sure to get plenty of rest."

"Okay," Kim Seolhyun replied obediently, but then immediately added, "But oppa, you too, you've been running around doing schedules, recording albums, and flying all over the place lately. Don't tire yourself out."

"I will. After your trip to Japan is over, I'll take you for a drive to Jeju Island."

"Qinjia?!"

"Vest" or "alias".

"Okay, it's settled then."

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, Kim Seol-hyun on the other end of the phone was so happy that her tone became light and cheerful.

"Alright, that's all for now. I'll hang up now."

"Mmm, I love you, oppa, mua~"

Jiang Yan hung up the phone amidst Kim Seolhyun's sickeningly sweet kissing.

After making calls to his two partners, Jiang Yan didn't put his phone back. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he dialed Yu Dingyan's number again.

And while he continued making phone calls.

On the other side, Cheng Xiao, who had been sitting opposite Jiang Yan, took in all of this.

She was a little confused at the moment. Who was Jiang Yan talking to on the phone?

Why do you look so busy?
