I desperately want to win on the peninsula

"Kouji Inui, don't you want to join in the other members' fun?"

Although Starship is stingy, they still have to film a group variety show while traveling, so naturally there are VJ teachers accompanying them. This VJ, who had been standing with Lin Qianqiao for half a day, couldn't help but ask a question. Mainly, the motionless posture was uncomfortable and very boring.

Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. Lin Qianqiao turned around and looked in the direction of VJ, wondering who had interrupted his thoughts.

But when he saw the man's helpless expression and the camera pointed at him, he realized that he had entourage following him.

"Miya, I usually just zone out when I come here."

Lin Qianqiao smiled and said, "Brother, you can try it too. Listen to the sound of the ocean, imagine yourself as a fish swimming freely in the boundless sea..."

Although what he said sounded plausible, VJ wasn't Zhou Xian. His observation skills were still sharp, and he had followed Lin Qianqiao's gaze quite a bit earlier...

He still had a keen eye; he forced a smile and said, "Yes, I've already felt it. I'm a free fish, swimming freely in the ocean."

"But...we should do something, we can't just sit here doing nothing all day."

This guy was thinking that he could at least find a place to sit down and watch with you all day, but standing for half a day was really too torturous.

"Alright." Lin Qianqiao sighed with a hint of helplessness, glancing at the members who were giving her a headache. They were running around in circles like madmen.

Now I understand why Squidward has such a headache; there's a reason his head got so big.

"Brother, let's go somewhere else." Helpless, Lin Qianqiao took off his sunglasses and put them back on his collar, then turned and left with a carefree air.

After all, if I don't want to join the ranks of the childish, I still need to find a place to take pictures.

"OK!" VJ's expression relaxed, and he quickly followed.

Exhausted, Ren Changjun lay on the beach, clutching his chest and panting heavily. He couldn't keep up with the other guys' pace at all and could only watch from the sidelines.

Suddenly, Lin Qianqiao's figure appeared in his line of sight. This guy was walking slowly towards the entertainment area, obviously with something in mind.

Compared to the boring older members, this maknae (youngest member) truly knows how to enjoy life.

In less than a second, Ren Changjun got up and chased after him, raising his hand and calling out as he approached:

"Qian Qiao, wait for me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Qianqiao turned her head to look, "It's Changjun..."

Where are you going to have fun... take me with you!

"Okay, it's mainly because VJ was bored, so I had to take him around. You can come along too."

"OK." Ren Changjun glanced at the VJ upon hearing this. The guy's lips twitched slightly, and his face was full of helplessness.

The three of them began walking in the entertainment area, where in addition to various entertainment facilities, there were also a variety of restaurant signs.

Lin Qianqiao spotted the iconic retro-style carousel and watched the children playing happily. After a moment's thought, she turned to Ren Changjun and suggested, "IM, why don't you go up and ride it? It's on me."

"I'll play if you come with me."

Lin Qianqiao was quite surprised that Ren Changjun was so smart, and felt it was a pity that she hadn't given him any help in finding his childhood memories. She sighed and said, "Fine, don't play then. Do you want some tacos?"

"Eat!" Now, Ren Changjun was really craving it.

"Let's go..." Lin Qianqiao started leading him to a nearby Mexican restaurant to buy tacos, as he was indeed a bit hungry.

About ten minutes later, the two came out of the restaurant.

Ren Changjun picked up a taco with his right hand, took a big bite, and then happily sipped the cola in his left hand, while a bag full of food was hanging from his arm.

Sure enough, going out with him was never a wasted trip. Ren Changjun ate as he followed behind Lin Qianqiao, feeling great and a smile he had never shown when he was with those older brothers appeared on his face.

After walking for a short while, Ren Changjun swallowed the remaining half of his fragrant taco in one gulp. While chewing, he couldn't sit still and started looking around. Ren Changjun's gaze stopped on a corner and he froze.

Under the shed, children and adults alike were shooting toy guns at balloons in the distance. The loud bangs filled the air, and Ren Changjun felt a surge of excitement. This was the spirit of a man.

"I want to play that!"

Ren Changjun quickly ran up to Lin Qianqiao and pointed to the shooting area, suggesting they go there to play.

"Sure." Lin Qianqiao glanced at it and sighed that as long as it's a boy, no matter how old he is, he's still a child. When he sees something long and thick, he can't help but stop and play with it.

Ren Changjun's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. He casually tossed the trash he had finished eating into a nearby bin and followed Lin Qianqiao to the shooting range. While waiting in line, he saw the fee information and the rewards for hitting targets, which looked quite tempting.

However, free scenic spots don't need to rely on local vendors for charity; their prices start at three times higher than roadside stalls.

Lin Qianqiao didn't think too much about it and directly took out money to pay the smiling boss. When the boss saw the two fat sheep, he couldn't help but rub his hands together and grin from ear to ear.

"Boss, let him play twice."

"No problem." The shopkeeper readily agreed, then looked at Ren Changjun, "What type of gun do you want? I have an AK47 here..."

"No need to choose, a real man takes the AK." Ren Changjun patted his chest, interrupting the boss's introduction.

"OK! Great!" The boss gave a thumbs up.

With the thick, black and red AK in hand, Ren Changjun's eyes hardened. His sharp, eagle-like gaze swept over the group of colorful enemies, and he cracked his neck, ready for a big fight.

Then, fully prepared, he leaned over the table, his gaze following the angle of the gun to aim at the enemy, and pulled the trigger without hesitation...

emission!!

boom!

null……

boom!

null……

I don't know how many times this was repeated, but the more unpleasant Ren Changjun's expression was, the brighter the boss's smile became.

"Try it two more times, I'm sure I can do it."

Having lost everything, Ren Changjun watched as the last bullet was fired. With only two out of ten shots hitting the target, he couldn't even get a consolation prize like a napkin. Unable to contain his despair, he began to plead with Lin Qianqiao, who was standing beside him, "I want to get back what I've lost."

"How about... you watch me play a couple of times first?" Originally, Lin Qianqiao was just paying to let the kids have a good time, but seeing the unscrupulous boss about to burst out laughing made her a little annoyed.

He just wanted to vent his anger for Ren Changjun; he really didn't want to play along.

"All right……"

Ren Changjun reluctantly got up, but since the person paying had spoken, Lin Qianqiao didn't care. She took out her money and put it on the counter, saying, "Boss, give me two as well."

"OK!! You need to..."

"This one will do." Lin Qianqiao casually picked up the beloved gun that Ren Changjun had been cherishing, and gently stroked and felt it under his reluctant gaze...

As the bullet was chambered, Lin Qianqiao's gaze was fixed on the gun, quietly listening to its unique melody.

With a swift and decisive movement, Lin Qianqiao's gaze fell upon the round balloon not far away, a calm smile playing on his lips as he placed his index finger on the trigger.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by...

His eyes hardened, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger—

boom!

in!

boom!

in!

The more Lin Qianqiao's smile deepened, the uglier the unscrupulous businessman's expression became, even after countless repetitions.

"Daiba!!!"

Amid Ren Changjun's cheers, Lin Qianqiao was free to choose any prize. The shopkeeper, with a grim expression, handed two plush toys to Lin Qianqiao, tugging at them reluctantly for a while before finally letting go.

Of course, this is just for show. After all, the money for one shooting session could buy several of these figurines. The owner is very good at persuading customers and can provide them with a lot of emotional value.

"Ez..." Lin Qianqiao casually brushed the two plush toys across Ren Changjun's face, shrugged, and said, "Are you still going to play?"

"I'm not playing anymore. This place is a rip-off. I was absolutely sure I aimed correctly, but the bullet went astray. Something's definitely fishy!"

Ren Changjun glanced at the two prizes and muttered under his breath, "They're definitely trying to rip off tourists like me. I'm not playing!"

"Possibly..." Lin Qianqiao nodded in agreement, casually tying the two plush toys to his waist, just like a fisherman casually passing by the air force when loading his catch... but without deliberately showing off.

Following behind, Ren Changjun's gaze kept being drawn to the two plush toys. Recalling the repeated failures he had just suffered, a wave of melancholy washed over him...

"Qian Qiao, can I have one of your prizes?"

"Changjun... People can't learn to reap without sowing, or they'll become lazy."

"Oh……"

"Okay, I'll ask you a question, and if you answer correctly, I'll give you one."

"no problem!"

"I just treated you to food and drinks, and we played your favorite game. You know what to do, right?"

"I will repay you properly in the future!"

"You're right, my request isn't high either..." Lin Qianqiao gave a thumbs up, looking at Ren Changjun's gradually brightening eyes, and then offered her a reward: "I've got my eye on a Ferrari, the model is..."

"Stop! I don't want it anymore!" Ren Changjun got scared halfway through the conversation. This broken doll was worth a Ferrari. He might as well sell it and give it up.

"Look at you, you're just too impatient." Lin Qianqiao shook her head. "There are many types of Ferraris, such as models and Lego sets."

"No problem, I can do it!" Ren Changjun perked up immediately upon hearing this.

"See, this solves the problem. Besides, we're filming a variety show, and the VJ is still shooting. Can I ask you a question that's difficult for you?"

"Yes! I understand!"

"Okay, then I'll ask you one more time..." Lin Qianqiao nodded, looking like she was ready to be taught. "Changjun, I treated you to food, drinks, and games. What are you going to do now?"

"I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Good! That's ambitious!" Lin Qianqiao looked at Ren Changjun, whose eyes were full of determination, and couldn't help but cheer for him: "Me...?"

"Buy it!" Ren Changjun exclaimed, beaming with excitement.

"Okay! I've got my eye on a top-of-the-line Ferrari F90, not a model or a kit, the official price is 2..."

"..." Without even listening further, Ren Changjun grabbed the bag and ran off, leaving Lin Qianqiao standing there in a daze on the roadside.

Having witnessed the scene firsthand, even the VJ in charge of filming couldn't help but laugh. His lips trembled uncontrollably, and his hand holding the video camera shook.

"VJ teacher, my request shouldn't be too much, right..." After a moment of silence, Lin Qianqiao turned her head to look at the VJ who seemed to want to laugh but stopped, her tone very calm.

"..." The camera shook its head.

"..." Lin Qianqiao exchanged a glance with him.

"..."

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Santa Monica Beach rest area.

"Maknae, where did you buy this taco? It's so delicious!"

"Yeah! And the portions are huge, one was enough to fill me up halfway."

The MONSTAX members kept devouring their grilled meat rolls while giving Im Chang-kyun a thumbs up.

Zhou Xian suddenly asked, somewhat inappropriately, "Why are you only buying tacos and not water... I almost choked to death."

"The water is with me..."

Before the dejected Ren Changjun could reply, Lin Qianqiao appeared just in time, bringing a bag of iced drinks to save the day.

"..." Upon seeing this, Im Chang-kyun immediately shrank into the corner, not daring to move at all. He had just sensed the demonic personality within the maknae.

"Daiba!!"

"Kamsamita!!"

Compared to the timidity of the other maknae, Lee Minhyuk appeared exceptionally poised and confident, helping to carry the bags and distributing drinks—it was clear he was there for that.

With someone helping out, Lin Qianqiao had some free time. She found a spot to sit down and waited for her teammates to eat.

"Hey? Takumi Inui, where did you buy that Stitch on your clothes? It's pretty cute."

"This? It's a prize I got from playing the game earlier."

Hearing that Cai Hengyuan had noticed the two figurines, Lin Qianqiao casually picked them up and placed them on the table, shaking them for the members to admire.

"There's also a pink one?"

"That pink one is Stitch's girlfriend."

"Wouldn't that mean they could love each other?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqiao tilted her head, looked at the blue-skinned big-eyed boy on her left, then glanced at the pink-eyed big-eyed girl on her right, and gently shook her head.

"I won't allow it."

"They are truly in love, it would be strange if you didn't allow it."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing this, everyone at the table couldn't hold back their emotions.

After dinner, we took a stroll around and checked off some of the surrounding scenery.

When I have nothing to do, I wander around. Anyway, this is the age when I'm full of energy.

Finally, as dusk fell on the famous beach, the group came to the end of their leisurely day.

The timid Ren Changjun ran to ride in the same car as the team leader, and Zhou Xian filled the empty seat.

Before nightfall, the members returned to their original locations in batches.

After everyone had gathered, they drove back to the hotel amidst cheers.

Throughout the journey, Zhou Xian, who was in the passenger seat, hesitated to speak, but when they returned to their hotel room, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Qian Qiao, what's the situation between you and Xuexuan now?"

"Isn't it all thanks to you that I got to know her? Do you even need to ask?" Lin Qianqiao, who had just lain down on the bed, didn't even look up, and casually picked up a TV program with the remote control.

"One thing at a time, who told you to make such a quick move! That's Kim Seolhyun!!" Zhou Xian gritted his teeth, thinking about last night.

"So what?" Lin Qianqiao tilted her head to look at Zhou Xian.

To be honest, his first impression of Kim Seolhyun... was really hard to describe.

Putting everything else aside, when he got back to his room last night and took off his clothes to go to sleep, he suddenly noticed that the right shoulder of his hoodie looked like it had been through a battle. It was not only wrinkled but also filthy. Stains were understandable, but the white spots made it look like someone had squeezed yogurt. He almost wanted to throw it out of the hotel window on the eighth floor.

If it weren't for the print being a roaring little dragon that he actually likes, he would have kept this sweatshirt. He took it to the washing machine when he woke up today, and will just throw it in the dryer to dry later.

Getting back to the main point, given Kim Seolhyun's angelic face and incredible physique that are touted by countless fans, Lin Qianqiao genuinely didn't see any of that...

Last night, I felt this girl was particularly lively, like she was taking her snow-white Samoyed around rolling in the mud. It was kind of cute, but I'm not into cute creatures, especially since I got covered in mud myself...

Looking at Lin Qianqiao's indifferent attitude, Zhou Xian suddenly felt that this appearance-obsessed era was too cruel.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang.

I'm completely, completely, completely obsessed!

Your gentle voice makes me swoon and nervous.

AOA, let's go!

Lin Qianqiao frowned as he listened to the broken ringtone on Zhou Xian's phone, but Zhou Xian was oblivious. He picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, and immediately answered.

"Yo-bu-se-yo..."

After listening for a while, Zhou Xian's smile gradually disappeared, and his gaze fell on Lin Qianqiao, who was lying lazily and casually on the bed, where he saw her holding two dolls and fighting in mid-air.

Zhou Xian's lips twitched slightly as he listened to the woman's voice on the phone, her tone tinged with shyness...

"Hey, Qian Qiao is right next to me, I'll ask her for you."

Zhou Xian lowered the microphone, looked at Lin Qianqiao who was focused on him, and asked in a low voice with a forced smile, "You didn't exchange contact information with Xuexuan last night?"

"She didn't ask, so should I take the initiative?" Lin Qianqiao nodded and asked in return as if it were a matter of course.

The blue-skinned, big-eyed guy to his left seemed to think so too, staring fiercely at Zhou Xian with wide eyes and baring his teeth.

"That's interesting... hahaha!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xian shook his head with a laugh.

Then a mask of pain gradually appeared on his face, and he answered the phone again.
