Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

Jiang Yuhe quickly stopped and found a shady spot. Just as he was about to reply, another message popped up:

[Senior, I only got your number by contacting Professor Yu Yongzhen.]

Yesterday you told me to tell him not to keep calling to ask when you're coming to the company...

These two messages are clearly explaining how she got Jiang Yuhe's number.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuhe looked enlightened and replied:

Actually, there's no need to bring it over specially. Just leave the coat with Mr. Yu Yongzhen, and I'll pick it up next time I go to the company.

Shortly after the message was sent, Taeyeon's message popped up:

Let me bring it to you.

His words were concise, yet they carried a strange stubbornness.

Jiang Yuhe stared at the message, paused for a moment, then understood:

That's true. If she really left the coat with Lao Yu, she would inevitably be asked all sorts of questions, and then she probably wouldn't be able to hide the fact that she ran away yesterday, or even why her voice was hoarse.

In contrast.

If it were just a matter of relaying Jiang Yuhe's message and asking for his number, it could be explained as a coincidence that they met and that he was helping to pass on the message.

The risk of exposure is naturally not that great.

This little guy looks so sullen, how come he has so many thoughts on his mind?

Jiang Yuhe shook his head, chuckled, and replied:

Okay, okay. But I'm still out here, it might take me a while to get back.

He then sent over his apartment address.

Then, she sent another message to Lee Sung-soo before returning to LOEN and driving home.

……

Jiang Yuhe drove back to the apartment building.

From afar, I could see a petite figure standing pitifully under the shade of a tree beside the gate.

After all, the place Lee Sung-soo arranged for him to stay was in a high-end residential area with strict access control, and visitors usually needed the owner's confirmation to enter.

She must have arrived early, and not wanting to disturb her, I could only wait outside.

It seems they've been waiting for quite a while.

Her attire was simple and refreshing.

She wore well-fitting jeans, white sneakers, a plain T-shirt, and a light-colored shirt loosely tied around her waist.

Perhaps because the afternoon sun was still quite strong, the stray hairs on her forehead were damp with a little sweat.

Her face was already small, and the oversized mask almost covered the lower half of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

At this moment, she was standing there motionless, her head slightly lowered, holding Jiang Yuhe's coat in both hands.

It looks just like a small plant that's wilted a bit under the scorching sun, but still tries its best to stand up straight.

Jiang Yuhe slowly drove closer, stopped in front of her, and gently honked the horn.

The figure seemed startled for a moment before snapping back to reality.

She clearly recognized Jiang Yuhe's car and quickly jogged over to it.

Jiang Yuhe rolled down the car window and leaned out: "Get in, it's hot outside."

Kim Tae-yeon stood outside the car window, shook her head, and handed the neatly folded coat in through the window with both hands.

"Senior, your clothes."

His voice, even through the mask, was still somewhat hoarse.

It seems that the super spicy fish cake soup from yesterday was indeed quite potent.

It was only when they got closer that Jiang Yuhe noticed that, in addition to her damp, stray hairs, her forehead and the top of her nose were also covered with a fine layer of sweat.

It gleamed slightly in the sunlight.

Kang Woo-hyuk reached out and took the coat, looking at Taeyeon who looked disheveled but was still trying to put on a brave face, and suddenly smiled, "Alright, get in the car."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sweat on her forehead, "Go upstairs and have some water to cool off, then I'll take you back."

Kim Tae-yeon shook her head again, and even subconsciously took a half step back, her muffled voice coming from under her mask.

"No...no need, senior, I'll go back now..."

Before she could finish speaking, perhaps because she was in a hurry, she caught a bit of a choke and quickly covered her mouth, coughing a few times.

Jiang Yuhe frowned, sighed, and said, "Judging from your appearance, your throat probably hasn't fully recovered yet. Be good, don't push yourself, come upstairs with me first."

"I happen to have some things that might help relieve a sore throat."

Kim Tae-yeon looked up and blinked.

Actually, the reason she was able to take the day off today was that "her throat was sore and she needed to go see a doctor."

Since she was always the most hardworking model student in the company, the teacher simply told her to rest well and readily granted her leave.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape so easily!

But then again.

Only in this way could she legitimately bring the coat out.

At that time, the other members were all sweating profusely in the practice room, and no one would have noticed her.

but……

Go upstairs to my senior's house?

She hesitated for a moment, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the hem of her shirt.

Jiang Yuhe naturally noticed her hesitation and wariness.

He didn't try to persuade you any further, but simply started the car again. "Get in the car. Right now, your voice is more important than anything else, isn't it?"

Kim Tae-yeon remained silent for a few seconds.

In an instant, she suddenly thought of Yuri, and the last time she and Yuri met Kang Woo-hyuk... her abruptly stopped utterance...

Oppa...

What exactly is their relationship?

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she bit her lower lip and got into the passenger seat.

If the two of them really are related, then there should be some clues in Senior Jiang Yuhe's house.

Silent all the way.

Jiang Yuhe opened the apartment door and stepped aside.

Kim Tae-yeon stood in the entryway, staring at the scene inside, and was immediately stunned.

The apartment in front of me is spacious and bright, especially the floor-to-ceiling window that offers a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of Jiangnan... it's obviously very valuable.

But isn't Senior Jiang Yuhe just a nobody on a variety show?

Even with another identity, he is still just what Professor Yu Yongzhen said: a young musician.

But looking at his living environment... could his true identity actually be that of a wealthy playboy?

Then, recalling the last time I saw him, the subtle atmosphere between him and Yuri...

Taeyeon felt a sense of unease and stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or out.

Jiang Yuhe, who was standing to the side, turned around and saw her still standing in the doorway in a daze, so he asked, "What's wrong? Come in!"

Then he noticed Taeyeon staring blankly at the floor, and realized what was happening. "Oh, I'm sorry, I live alone, so I didn't bring any extra slippers. If you don't mind..."

Jiang Yuhe bent down, took out a pair of dark gray men's sandals from the shoe cabinet, and placed them in front of her.

"If you don't mind, wear mine for now. Don't worry, it's clean!"

Kim Tae-yeon nodded, but her gaze silently swept over the entryway and living room.

The shoe cabinet in the entryway doesn't have many shoes, and the styles are limited.

The living room was also extremely tidy, with items arranged in an orderly manner, making it look like someone lived there.

Thinking of this, the inexplicable tension and suspicion in her heart dissipated somewhat.

It seems... Yuri and him really don't have any special relationship?

Perhaps, they really are just friends?

"Thank you, senior."

She thanked him quietly as she changed into slippers that were clearly several sizes too big for her.

It was as if they were slowly moving into the living room, like riding on two small boats.

"Please sit wherever you like."

Jiang Yuhe called out and casually draped his coat over the back of the sofa.

Kim Tae-yeon responded, then sat down awkwardly on the edge of the sofa, lowered her head, and remained silent.

"Wait for me a moment."

After settling Taeyeon in, Kang Woo-hyuk got up again and walked towards the kitchen. "Make yourself at home, don't be so nervous."

His figure was obscured by the glass door of the kitchen, and rustling sounds could be heard intermittently.

The huge living room was suddenly left with only Kim Tae-yeon.

Gazing at the empty space before her, Taeyeon remained tense, and a subtle emotion quietly permeated her being.

What keeps replaying in my mind is that torrential rainy night from last night.

The icy rain pattered down.

Just like her heart at this moment, it was utterly chaotic.
