Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Perhaps to avoid further awkwardness, the topic of returning to the conversation was dropped.

Wang Jiaer skillfully changed the subject, bringing up Lim Jaebeom's recent interest in watching female internet celebrities' live streams.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan recalled that JayB had indeed been revealed to be a fan of controversial internet celebrities.

But that's understandable; who doesn't like Da Lei?

The three chatted and joked around when Jiang Yan's phone rang. The caller ID on the screen read "Penguin Nan" in Chinese.

After seeing this, Jiang Yan said, "You two chat first, I'm going to take this call."

Wang Jiaer nodded and said, "Okay."

Picking up his phone, Jiang Yan got up and walked outside the barbecue restaurant, standing in front of the door to answer the call.

"Hiko-chan, what are you doing?" Mina's soft voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm eating out with my brother and Jackson," Jiang Yan replied.

"So, what do we do after we finish eating?"

"After eating, of course we go home to rest, what else can we do?"

"I thought Jackson would take you guys to a nearby club."

When Jiang Yan heard Mina say that, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Listen to that, that's what you call reputation. Wang Jiaer's nickname "Playboy" has been certified by industry insiders from all sides.

"No, I rarely go to clubs. What about you? Are you already resting since you called?"

"Yes, we just finished group practice. We're going to have dinner nearby with Jeongyeon and the others later."

"Oh, that's good."

Upon hearing her say this, Jiang Yan subconsciously checked the time; it was almost 8:30.

"Ah—Sana is calling me, I'll hang up now."

"Okay, go ahead."

The very ordinary and brief phone call ended there. Jiang Yan put his phone back in his pocket and turned to walk back into the barbecue restaurant.

During the warming-up period, Mina called him at least once a day.

Whether there's a reason or not, they always have to say a few words.

In contrast, Kim Seolhyun doesn't call every day, maybe only three or four times a week, but she still sends messages every day.

Upon returning, Jiang Yan had barely sat down when Wang Jiaer looked at him with a mischievous grin and asked, "Did your sister-in-law call you?"

Jiang Yan laughed and admitted, "You could have guessed that?"

"I could tell from your expression. But your call was pretty short. Did you think long-distance calls from Japan were too expensive?"

"It has nothing to do with phone bills, and it wasn't a long-distance call."

"Huh? If I remember correctly, didn't AOA go to Japan around this time?"

Wang Jiaer was a little confused. Wasn't Jiang Yan's boyfriend in Japan right now? Had he already returned?

Jiang Yan could tell what the other person was thinking, and after chuckling, he revealed the answer: "It wasn't Seolhyun who called me just now."

"Not her?! That's—whoa!"

Wang Jiaer immediately understood what this meant, and his eyes lit up with gossip. He asked excitedly, "Tell me, who is the other sister-in-law?"

"Here's a hint: you already mentioned her country."

"Her country...is she Japanese?"

"Um."

"Are there any Japanese female idols of our generation...?" Wang Jiaer frowned and muttered.

"Jackson, doesn't your company have one?" Jiang Zhennan couldn't help but remind him with a smile. He already knew that Jiang Yan had more than one girlfriend.

"Our company—I know!" Wang Jiaer looked enlightened, then quickly asked, "Which one, bro? Momo, Sana, or Mina?"

"Aren't you going to guess?"

"Based on your preferences, Momo would be your first choice."

"Wrong, and explain what you mean by 'my preferences'?"

Jiang Yan was a little curious about what Wang Jiaer's aesthetic standards were.

"Brother, you definitely like people with good figures, after all—" Wang Jiaer said tactfully, stopping short of commenting.

Jiang Yan understood; the other party was using Kim Seolhyun as a reference to arrive at his aesthetic standards.

"You're wrong. I look at appearance and temperament first, and then figure."

"Oh, I see, it's that Mina, right?"

Jiang Yan nodded, which was considered a response.

Wang Jiaer continued gossiping, "So, do they all know?"

Jiang Yan shook his head: "They probably don't know yet."

He wasn't really sure, but every time Mina called him, she did it in private.

Moreover, there has been no response from Yu Dingyan, so she probably doesn't know yet.

He didn't know what this penguin was thinking, having to sneak around even when dating.

Are you planning to keep it a secret from your teammates forever? There's no need for that, is there?

Jiang Yan planned to ask Mina what she thought when they met alone someday.

That pretty much concludes our discussion about his partner.

If Jiang Yan didn't continue speaking, Wang Jiaer didn't ask any more questions.

Then, the grilled meats they had ordered earlier were served one after another, and the three of them started grilling.

However, apart from working together at the beginning, Wang Jiaer ended up doing everything by himself later on.

There's no way around it, he's just too proactive and enthusiastic.

After eating some barbecue, the three of them clinked glasses and continued chatting.

However, as they chatted, Wang Jiaer glanced at Jiang Yan's neck and asked curiously, as if she had just noticed, "Hey? Brother Yan, you're wearing a necklace now."

When asked this question, Jiang Yan raised his hand and took out the pendant from his neck, saying, "Here, it's this."

After staring at it for a moment, Wang Jiaer said, "What brand is this ring? It's quite nice."

"The Tiffany couple rings, Seolhyun bought them for me."

"Well--"

After being thoroughly humiliated, Wang Jiaer was speechless and regretted asking the question.

He originally wanted to ask Jiang Yan how he planned to handle the relationship between his two girlfriends, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.

After a while, the three of them finished their set meal and ordered a few more dishes separately.

After they had eaten their fill, they each headed home.

……

Over the next two days, Jiang Yan successfully completed the post-production of the Japanese single "Overdose".

However, after finishing the song, there is one more thing to do before you can submit it to NicoNico: create a simple animated music video for the song.

Jiang Yan is not good at this.

But he directly used his financial resources and hired two professionals to handle this part in two or three days.

After confirming that there were no problems with the simplified animation music video, Jiang Yan logged into his account that same day and submitted it to the corresponding section.

Once the upload was complete, he immediately closed the webpage.

Whether this song will improve or not depends entirely on fate.

He wouldn't spend too much time watching the data in the backend; instead, he planned to log into NicoNico a week later to check the playback status.
