Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

I randomly clicked on a few posts and glanced at them; most of the comments were vulgar.

[Damn, that bastard actually managed to debut again?!]

[Damn it, CUBE is a traitor! How dare they accept a Chinese man with such questionable character!]

[I can't understand CUBE's management's decision. Accepting an artist with such a bad reputation doesn't do the company any good at all!]

Seeing this person's face makes me inexplicably angry. Can't they just go back to their own country?

【…】

Jiang Yan felt nothing after reading the comments, mainly because they were so mild and sounded like she was just being coquettish.

With this level of swearing, you'd only deserve to sit at the same table as dogs in Sunba.com.

He scrolled through a few more messages symbolically, then casually handed the phone back to Wu Xuanyi. Noticing his expression remained unchanged, she cautiously asked, "Brother Yan, aren't you angry?"

Jiang Yan smiled indifferently and said, "Their words are not worth my attention."

Haters are everywhere. If just anyone barking at him can keep him awake at night, then what kind of celebrity is he?

There's no need to pay attention to casual observers who are not his target audience. Everyone has haters, and the more popular an artist is, the more haters they will naturally have.

"Brother Yan is awesome."

Wu Xuanyi gave him a thumbs up. She had witnessed Jiang Yan's strong heart; he was indeed someone who had weathered many storms.

After resting for a while, the group resumed their practice and continued until after 6 p.m.

"See you tomorrow, everyone."

After greeting the four people, Jiang Yan packed up and left the starship.

He has a date with Kim Seolhyun tonight, and they've already made a reservation at a restaurant in advance. They even specifically chose a Chinese restaurant this time.

I took a taxi and arrived at my destination about ten minutes later.

After entering the restaurant, Jiang Yan was led to the reserved private room by the waiter, where Jin Xuexuan had been waiting for some time.

The private room wasn't large, and after the waiter left, Jiang Yan closed the door.

Sitting there, Kim Seolhyun smiled sweetly and said, "Oppa, you've finally arrived~"

Jiang Yan nodded and sat down next to her.

Some dishes were already on the table, but they looked like they had just been served a few minutes ago and were still hot.

"How long have you been waiting?"

"Hehe, it hasn't been long. I had just left my dorm when I messaged you earlier."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Kim Seolhyun's stomach growled a few times.

Jiang Yan reached out and tapped her head with his index finger, speechless. "Are you a papa? Can't you eat something first if you're hungry?"

Kim Seolhyun pouted and said aggrievedly, "I wanted to wait until you got here before we ate."

"I'm here now, let's eat quickly."

"Feed me, please~"

"..."

Although his girlfriend was a bit clingy, Jiang Yan still cooperated and fed her a few times.

After being fed, he started eating too; he was indeed a bit hungry after a day of practice.

There's no need to worry about eating too much and losing weight; he has a naturally lean physique and also maintains a certain level of exercise.

As for Kim Seolhyun, although she is a foodie, she is currently still active with her group, so she naturally doesn't dare to eat too much.

The two ate quickly, and when they were almost finished, Kim Seolhyun magically pulled a beautifully packaged little box out of her bag.

"Clang clang clang, surprise~" Kim Seolhyun presented the box to Kang Yeon like a treasure.

"Is this the pair of rings you mentioned you had your eye on before?" Although the box hadn't been opened yet, Jiang Yan had already guessed what was inside.

"Hurry up and open it to see if you like it," Kim Seolhyun urged.

Jiang Yan nodded and slowly opened the box.

As expected, there was a ring and a matching chain inside.

After picking it up and examining it closely, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's quite beautiful."

Kim Seolhyun hugged his arm and said sweetly, "Isn't it beautiful? I specially got this chain for you; it was very expensive."

When Jiang Yan heard her say that, he knew that she was not lying.

Kim Seol-hyun chose a pair of wedding rings from Tiffany & Co., a luxury brand where even a simple chain can cost several thousand yuan.

"Where's yours?" Jiang Yan looked at Kim Seolhyun, but he didn't see the same one on her neck or fingers.

"I didn't bring it with me today, and you reminded me to be careful, so I plan to wear it again in a while," Kim Seolhyun explained.

"You need to be careful now," Jiang Yan said, preparing to put the ring back into the box.

"Aren't you going to put it on?" Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to, Kim Seolhyun quickly asked.

When Jiang Yan was asked this question, his hand immediately froze in mid-air.

"Should I wear it now?"

"Of course, I want to see how it looks on you."

"Then put it on for me."

"Okay~"

Kim Seolhyun happily took out the chain from the box, put it on the ring, then held both ends and put it around Kang Yeon's neck, fastening the clasp.

After putting it on, she suddenly hugged Jiang Yan's neck and kissed him on the lips.

Jiang Yan didn't expect the other party to launch a sneak attack, but he reacted quickly and handled the situation calmly.

……

After spending a little more time cuddling in the private room, the two packed up and left the Chinese restaurant.

What happened next is self-evident.

"If you miss me, just give me a call or a message."

Before parting ways, Jiang Yan made a phone call gesture to Jin Xuexuan, who had already gotten into the car. After she left, he hailed a taxi on the roadside and returned to Yuehua's dormitory.

When he returned and entered the living room, he saw several middle-aged men, including Zhou Yixuan, sitting around the dining table playing cards. Even his brother, Jiang Zhennan, was watching with great interest.

These people really have a lot of free time.

Jiang Yan had no intention of joining in the fun. After greeting them, he planned to return to his room.

But before he could take two steps, the phone in his pocket rang.

He initially thought it was Kim Seolhyun, whom he hadn't been separated from for long, calling him, but after taking a look, he realized it was Yoo Jeongyeon.

After answering the phone, Jiang Yan asked, "What's wrong, Jeongyeon? Is there something you need?"

Instead of answering directly, Yoo Jeongyeon on the other end of the phone said softly, "Oppa, I hope I didn't bother you by calling so late?"

"No, what's wrong?"

When Jiang Yan was asked this question, he subconsciously checked the time on his phone and realized that it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Here's the thing, about half an hour ago the company suddenly sent out a notice saying that I should participate in a new girl group project."

"I was planning to tell oppa the news tomorrow, but I couldn't resist calling you now~"

A new girl group project? Isn't that just TWICE's "SIXTEEN" project?

The time has indeed come.

"This is great news! You must seize this opportunity to debut. I believe in you."

Although I know that Yoo Jeongyeon will definitely debut, I still have to say what needs to be said.

"Yes, oppa, I'll do my best!"

"Hmm, everything's alright?"

"No, goodnight, oppa~"

"Okay, goodnight."

After Yu Dingyan hung up the phone in a hurry, Jiang Yan also put down her phone and went back to her room in a few steps.

However, he had only been sitting down for a short while when a question suddenly came to mind.

Since SIXTEEN is about to start, doesn't that mean Mina, who will also be selected for the project, will soon have very little free time?

In that case, his music video definitely needs to be filmed as soon as possible.
