Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Chapter 109 will be featured on the blog program (revised).

Ye Fan received a contract offer a week after the novel was published. Although the writing style was mediocre, the number of fans watching the novel was very good.

Knowing that Ye Fan was a newcomer, his fans were very tolerant and wrote quite entertaining stories, so it was rather strange that not many people criticized him.

With an additional job, Ye Fan's schedule is now packed and fulfilling, and it's already mid-March.

By going to the gym from time to time, Ye Fan got to know some more people through Kim Jong-kook, and their relationships were gradually getting closer.

"Fan, I invited you to my show before, when are you coming?" Kim Jong-kook patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

"Brother, are you really going to let me be on your show?" Ye Fan smiled wryly. It's been so long, and this brother is still thinking about letting him be on his blog show?

It's been half a month already, I thought this guy had already forgotten about it.

"Of course, you think I'm joking?" Kim Jong-kook nodded. "I'm serious."

"So, are you coming or not?"

Although Ye Fan is not a celebrity, he has more fans on short video platforms than he does, so there is no conflict in him coming to play around.

"Well—you've invited me twice already, it wouldn't be right not to come." Ye Fan helplessly shrugged. Fine, I'll come and record one episode, so it won't be the same as Joo-hyun and Seulgi's.

The two of them had already agreed to come and record an episode of the show with Kim Jong-kook, but it will be postponed for a while, and they will probably come when they are free in the summer.

"Okay, then come tomorrow." Kim Jong-kook clapped his hands, quite happy to have secured a guest.

"tomorrow?"

Ye Fan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "So fast?"

"What's wrong? Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?" Kim Jong-kook thought that since tomorrow was Saturday and Ye Fan had the day off, it would be perfect for him to record the film. Besides, his recording work would be finished by the afternoon.

After finishing work, he can eat something and then go straight to the gym; that's his normal routine.

"Should we go over the script first?" Ye Fan raised his hand and moved it back and forth between himself and Kim Jong-kook.

"What script?"

"This is just a fitness program, there's no script. Just treat it as a normal workout and chat. We don't need to make any kind of program." Kim Jong-kook waved his hand, telling Ye Fan not to worry too much.

Usually, variety shows have a script, a general framework, and then the guests and hosts are free to improvise. It's impossible for the script to have written out everyone's lines, right?

His blog program's basic framework is simply introducing friends and fitness, with the rest being just chatting—very simple and relaxing.

"That's it?" Ye Fan looked him up and down, his eyes full of suspicion.

Korean variety shows are world-renowned for their seriousness and playfulness; even on small details, they put their hearts into it and don't try to get away with anything half-hearted.

Many online celebrity teams in China prepare a script before going live at night.

"Of course that's how it is, you don't need to worry." Kim Jong-kook laughed; his younger brother was overthinking things.

"Alright then—" Ye Fan was half-convinced, but since he had said that, he might as well relax. Anyway, the pressure wouldn't be on him.

After finishing his workout and returning home, Ye Fan went straight to his room to take a shower, then ordered takeout. Unusually, he didn't go into the kitchen, as Pei Zhufa had a show to record tonight and wouldn't be home for dinner.

After drying her hair, she sat down at her computer desk, turned on her computer, and just as she finished publishing today's chapter, Pei Zhufa's video call came in.

"Feed~"

As soon as the video call connected, Bae Joo-fa's large face was right in front of the screen, blinking her bright eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"I just posted today's chapter." Ye Fan turned the screen to show Bae Joo-hyun.

Beside Bae Joo-hyun, Kang Seul-gi and Son Seung-wan clicked their tongues twice. This unnie is really in love now. Look at how she speaks, and she chats with her brother-in-law whenever she has a spare moment. They're so lovey-dovey.

"I'm eating right now, with Seulgi and Seungwan." Bae Joo-hyun turned the camera around to share what she was doing.

The camera then panned to Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan, who immediately changed their expressions, greeting Ye Fan and calling him "brother-in-law."

"Haven't you made dinner yet?"

"No, you weren't home tonight, so I just ordered takeout for myself. I'm taking a break now and then." Leaning back, Ye Fan shook his head. He was just too lazy. He had just come back from the gym and was a bit tired, so he didn't really want to move.

Looking at her older sister who was sharing her experiences on the phone, Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan exchanged a glance, enjoying their meal while savoring their sister's happiness.

"Brother-in-law, you've spoiled my stomach so much, she hardly eats anything when we're out."

Kang Seulgi leaned her head on Bae Joo-beom's shoulder, forcefully entering the frame and giving Ye Fan another update on Bae Joo-beom's situation.

"Really?" Ye Fan chuckled, not considering himself to be that skilled in cooking.

But when he scratched his face, he thought of their canteen and suddenly felt relieved.

Bae Joo-hyun gently tapped her younger sister's head, then moved her phone further away, allowing Kang Seul-gi to appear in the frame.

"Of course it's true, brother-in-law! For Unnie's health and to ensure she can eat properly, you'll have to prepare a lunchbox from now on~"

"And could I, as the matchmaker and the person who delivered the information, also prepare a copy?" Kang Seulgi continued.

Bae Joo-beom and Son Seung-wan both glanced at her, but the latter quickly raised her hand to sign up, wanting a copy if possible.

Ye Fan was amused by Kang Seulgi. "So this is your real purpose, isn't it?"

"Good grief, are they treating this place like a cafeteria?"

Bae Joo-hyun reached out and pushed Seulgi away. Although she was right, having Ye Fan prepare meals for the three of them was just adding to her boyfriend's workload!

That won't work!

Ye Fan isn't a stay-at-home dad; he has his own job. How could he possibly have the time for all that?

Of course you can prepare your own!

"Don't listen to them, there's no such thing. You go about your own business."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now~"

"I'll talk about it when I get home tonight."

"Okay, bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Bae Joo-beom turned her head, squinted at Kang Seul-gi, and poked her on the head as she pretended to be nonchalant. "You, your purpose is quite obvious."

Kang Seulgi smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh unnie, are you craving something? And I wasn't wrong, you said that when we were eating during the recording of the show."

"I just wanted my brother-in-law to make a little extra so I could bring some back for myself. That's no small matter for him, is it?"

"He has a lot of work to do right now, he doesn't have time for this, it would only cause trouble." Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes at her, and then the next second she made a declaration of possession.

"If I'm going to do it, I'll only do what I'm doing!"

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan were about to speak after hearing her previous sentence, but her second sentence left them speechless. So that was the problem.

"Unnie, you're quite possessive, aren't you? —" Son Seungwan opened her mouth, but finally uttered a sarcastic remark.

"Of course, he's my boyfriend~" Bae Joo-hyun shook her head proudly, radiating happiness.

"Unnie, what's your brother-in-law busy with these days?" Kang Seulgi silently swallowed this mouthful of dog food, and then changed the subject.

Speaking of which, she's been busy with work lately and hasn't been able to go to her sister's and brother-in-law's place for meals or drinks much. It's been quite a while since she's seen them; the last time she saw them was at the gym.

"I go to work, and then I make videos and write novels," Pei Zhufa replied.

"My brother-in-law has this skill too?"

Hearing that Ye Fan had started a new side business, the two were quite surprised. Their brother-in-law really had a lot of energy. He was already so tired from work every day, yet he still played on the internet and now he was writing novels. Was he really a young man?

Yeah, unnie is so lucky————

"I only found out about it because he told me. He said he wanted to earn some pocket money, and he's already signed a contract and written tens of thousands of words," Pei Zhufa answered their questions while taking small bites of her food.

"Published on their website?"

"Of course, we can't exactly publish it here, can we?"

"You're such a goofball." Bae Joo-hyun tapped Kang Seul-gi's forehead. Ye Fan's fans are all from China, and their benefits are much better than those on their own website. He must have posted it on his own platform.

"I thought he would write it here~" Kang Seulgi pouted.

Son Seung-wan was curious about the story Ye Fan wrote, and while surprised, she jokingly asked, "What kind of story is brother-in-law writing? It's not a love story with unnie, is it?"

She knows that many fans write fanfiction, and one of her juniors was a writer before.

However, Ye Fan didn't have that idea. He was more interested in keeping their relationship secret so it wouldn't affect his work. He even made sure to post videos at different times.

Since I've appeared in his videos and live streams, if he writes about me, it might have some impact.

"So what's the specific plot, unnie? Have you seen it?"

"Of course, I was his first reader." Bae Joo-hyun gave herself a thumbs up. When Ye Fan first started writing, she would read each chapter as soon as he wrote it. Now, her Chinese reading ability is not a big problem.

Not only that, she had read Ye Fan's outline and had a certain understanding of the direction of Ye Fan's story.

After watching it, I gained a deeper understanding of Ye Fan's perverse sense of humor.

Ye Fan planned to write a tragedy, the kind with a knife to the victim and many unpleasant plot twists.

When watching movies or TV series with Ye Fan at home, he usually has no reaction when watching his favorite healing movies, but he watches the kind of movies with a lot of heart-wrenching scenes with great interest.

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan were curious and wanted to see it, but given their level of Chinese proficiency, reading it was practically impossible.

"Unnie, does your brother-in-law plan to pursue a career in screenwriting?" Kang Seulgi asked another question.

Screenwriters hold a very high status in the industry, especially famous screenwriters, whose influence is comparable to that of directors.

She remembered Ye Fan saying that he would prefer a relaxed job where he could work from home, or to buy a house, rent it out, and collect rent so he could just relax and do nothing.

If I were a screenwriter, I could work from home, writing scripts every day, which would be much easier since I wouldn't have to go to the office every day.

Besides, many films and TV series nowadays are made by buying the rights to adapt the plots of novels.

"This—" Bae Joo-hyun was momentarily speechless, "I haven't asked him yet."

She didn't think about it that way at the time; she just thought Ye Fan was very impressive.

When Ye Fan got home that evening, he was still sitting at his computer desk.

"I'm back~"

"Welcome home. You've worked hard."

Ye Fan turned around, opened his arms and hugged Pei Zhufa, who was throwing herself into his arms, and gently patted her back.

Bae Joo-beom took a deep breath; the scent emanating from her lover made her feel very at ease.

Bae Joo-hyun gave Ye Fan a peck on the lips, then turned to look at the computer screen, still typing. "You've been typing all night?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for you to come back." Ye Fan clicked save, turned off the author assistant, and finished writing a chapter.

"What's going on with today's phone call? Is what Seulgi said true? You're not eating properly outside? Have I spoiled your appetite?"

"Yeah, a little bit." Bae Joo-hyun scratched her face, a little embarrassed. She eats Ye Fan's cooking every day, and now when she eats work meals outside, she doesn't have much of an appetite, and the food doesn't taste very good.

As expected of sisters!

Why does it feel like Bae Joo-hyun has become a bit like Se-gi?

Seeing Ye Fan's strange expression, Bae Joo-hyun pouted and reached out to touch him, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to have become a bit lewd." Ye Fan pinched her little face.

"No, I didn't. By the way, I was chatting with them today and we talked about your novel. Have you ever considered pursuing a career in screenwriting?"

"Screenwriter?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.

"No, that's not it. Screenwriting and novel writing are different; the formats are different. I write novels simply to earn some pocket money."

"But I might give it a try if I have the chance," Ye Fan said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

He would definitely give it a try if given the chance to write a script, but he's still a novice in online novels and has a long way to go before becoming a screenwriter.

Furthermore, what the market needs now are all kinds of TV dramas and movies about romance, whether it's fantasy, martial arts, urban science fiction, or anything like that, all of which revolve around romance, and he's not very good at writing those kinds of stories.

"I believe you can do it!" Seeing that Ye Fan had this idea, Bae Joo-hyun's eyes lit up with anticipation. Ye Fan was still young, and he definitely had a chance.

"These are things for later, let's see how it goes. Don't have high expectations." Ye Fan patted her bottom. "It's getting late, go take a shower."
