Peninsula: Starting with the nation's first love, the white moonlight

Chapter 121 The Arrogant Zhi En

Hello, Tiffanyi.

Han Te greeted Tiffany with a smile, then turned and called out to Li Luran behind him.

"Lu Ran, let's go!"

Li Luran snapped out of his daze and realized that his behavior was indeed somewhat impolite. He quickly looked away, smiled politely at Tiffany standing at the door, and then followed Han Te out of the corridor.

Watching that tall, handsome figure walk away, Tiffany couldn't wait to turn around and run back to the waiting room.

She had completely forgotten what she had been doing when she went out.

She ran over to Kim Taeyeon, sat down next to her, grabbed her sleeve and shook it vigorously, exclaiming excitedly, "Taeyeon, what a coincidence!"

"I just ran into him again! Do you think this is really fate?"

She held up her fingers and counted, her eyes sparkling. "This is the third time already, Taeyeon. Do you think I should take the initiative and ask for their contact information?"

Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes at her excited best friend, wondering when this girl would ever get rid of her infatuation.

She replied irritably, "Okay, Pani, calm down."

She put down her phone and said to her seriously, "You've been in the industry for five years now, so don't act like those newcomers. You're Tiffany from Girls' Generation, so watch your image and don't let the younger generation laugh at you."

"This time the situation is different!"

Tiffany grabbed Kim Tae-yeon's arm and shook it hard.

"Besides, he's not an idol!"

"Qinjia?"

This surprised Kim Tae-yeon.

Not an idol? Then who could it be? A TV station employee?

Moreover, someone who's been on this mind and on for so many times must be a handsome guy.

Tiffany noticed that Kim Tae-yeon seemed interested as well, and mysteriously moved closer.

"Taeyeon, do you remember that handsome guy I mentioned to you last time?"

"A handsome young man?"

Kim Tae-yeon frowned and tried hard to recall.

It seems like it was during the Gayo Daejeon, Tiffany kept saying "handsome young man, handsome young man."

Wait a minute! Handsome young man? So that means—

Isn't that Li Luran?!

Kim Tae-yeon suddenly stood up from the sofa.

She grabbed Tiffany's shoulder, her eyes wide.

"Pani, you said you ran into that handsome guy just now?"

Where is he now?

Seeing the squad leader suddenly become agitated, even if she were stupid, she could see something was amiss.

"Taeyeon, you wouldn't also be interested in that—"

"No, no!"

Kim Tae-yeon quickly let go of her hand and waved her hands repeatedly in denial.

Tiffany blinked her big eyes, looking completely incredulous.

Kim Tae-yeon, quick-witted, brought out the same excuse she had used to deal with Lee Ji-eun.

"Is the person you're talking about the guy I bumped into in the hallway earlier?"

"It's him!" Tiffany nodded vigorously.

After confirming that it was indeed Li Luran, Kim Tae-yeon continued making up stories.

"He helped me out when we bumped into each other last time, so I have some impression of him, that's all."

"Oh, I see!"

Seeing Tiffany's look of sudden realization, Kim Tae-yeon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That silly Pani is so easy to fool.

Now that we know Li Luran is already backstage, we'll definitely have a chance to meet him later.

But what happens after they meet?

Kim Tae-yeon sat back down on the sofa, subconsciously biting her fingers, and started to struggle with her thoughts again.

I was getting anxious because I couldn't get any messages from him on my phone.

If we actually run into each other, what should we say?

The question is, what exactly does that silly grin emoji he sent mean?

Should I pretend to walk over and thank him?

It's so embarrassing just thinking about it.

Moreover, there are many people around here, so you absolutely cannot act too familiar with him, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the other members.

And that girl, Lee Ji-eun, when she came to deliver the album just now, she acted like she was possessing Lee Lu-ran, as if he was already hers. How ridiculous!

"Sigh, what should I do?"

Kim Tae-yeon rested her chin on one hand, her brows furrowed.

Meanwhile, Han Te brought Li Luran back to Li Zhi'en's waiting room.

The room was quiet, with only Lee Ji-eun sitting quietly in front of the vanity mirror.

"Ji-eun, I'm here."

Li Luran entered the room and called out softly.

Lee Ji-eun's shoulders twitched slightly when she heard the sound.

But she didn't turn around, still leaving Li Luran with a cold, indifferent back view.

"oh."

Ji-eun's tone sounded cold, and Li Luran knew immediately that the girl was definitely angry.

After all, I was the one who was late, so I should still coax her properly.

He walked towards Lee Ji-eun, took out a piece of chocolate from his shirt pocket, and gently broke it in half.

"Ji-eun, haven't you eaten anything today? Have some chocolate to replenish your energy."

Lee Ji-eun sat in the chair, still wearing that arrogant expression, as if she didn't want to talk to anyone.

But when he caught a glimpse of the chocolate being offered to his mouth out of the corner of his eye...

Her defenses immediately began to crumble, and after struggling for a few seconds, Ji-eun finally succumbed to the temptation of chocolate.

She slowly turned around, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and slightly parted her lips: "Ah—"

Li Luran couldn't help but laugh, and carefully put the half-chocolate into her mouth.

The chocolate slowly melted on her tongue, and its rich aroma instantly dispelled any slight dissatisfaction Ji-eun might have felt.

She opened her eyes and stared at Li Luran while chewing on chocolate.

"You're not allowed to be late again, understand?"

The tone was somewhat fierce, but the voice was soft and had no offensive power whatsoever.

"I'll forgive you this time because of the chocolate."

She hummed twice, making her magnanimity sound perfectly justified, "If there's a next time, I definitely won't be so easy to talk to!"

Li Luran was just about to nod.

Lee Ji-eun quickly changed her tune, her tone both cute and fierce, "No! There won't be a next time!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Li Luran smiled and agreed, then casually patted her head.

"There will be no next time, and I won't be late."

"ah!"

Lee Ji-eun slapped Lee Lu-ran's hand away and said angrily, "Don't touch my head, you'll stunt your growth!"

She grinned at Li Luran and said seriously, "Besides, I am Nuna, so watch your attitude, little brother Li Luran!"

Just as the two were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the door from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, a stagehand wearing a name tag pushed open the door and poked half his body in.

"IUi, the stage performance in front is about to end. Please prepare to go to the main stage for rehearsal and stage movement."

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun immediately stopped her playful expression.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll be right there."

Lee Ji-eun responded, straightened her stage outfit, and turned to look at Lee Lu-ran standing next to her.

"Let's go."

"Come with me to the front of the stage and see IU's performance!"
