Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Chapter 111 You deserve to die! (Revised)

In May, Bae Joo-hyun continued to update her vlog videos, but not daily; she released one every few days, and the content was now related to her photography exhibition.

With each update she posts, her fans are practically recognizing Ye Fan!

Because Bae Joo-fa goes to Chinese lessons every night, Ye Fan appears in every video, and fans have gotten used to this handsome and somewhat humorous Chinese teacher.

During class, if Bae Joo-fa couldn't learn something or misunderstood it, Ye Fan would directly tease or criticize her. Bae Joo-fa would lower her head and pout when she was teased, just like an honest student. It was quite cute and had a good variety show effect, which fans enjoyed watching.

Furthermore, some fans who are interested in Chinese can also take lessons along with the lessons.

During this time, Kim Jong-kook even sent a message to congratulate her, and was thinking of letting Ye Fan appear on another episode of his show.

"Hahaha, look, many of my fans are praising you, and they're starting to accept you now."

That evening, Bae Joo-hyun nestled in Ye Fan's arms, pointing to the fan comments on the screen. When the vlog was first released, some fans were saying bad things about Ye Fan in the comments section, but now, after several episodes of the vlog have been released, those voices have decreased, and there are more praises for Ye Fan.

She thought that if she and Ye Fan were filmed and the photos were made public, the goodwill built up by the vlog would probably prevent fans from having too much of a negative reaction later on.

"It's my pleasure." Ye Fan glanced at it, not too curious, just a little surprised, since it had been criticized quite harshly in the previous episodes.

"However, your Chinese fans aren't so friendly to me." Ye Fan pointed to his phone screen.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Are you going to yell at me?"

Ye Fan clicked his tongue and pursed his lips speechlessly. His live stream and collaborative video with Pei Zhufa had attracted a lot of her fans.

As soon as Bae Joo-hyun's vlog was released, fans started to emerge, saying that they had ulterior motives and were having bad intentions towards their idol.

Not only that, but the number of fans is still rising, mostly to curse and tell him, this "scumbag," to stay away from their sister.

Some people are hoping to get autographed photos from you, and they'll pay you!

His fans, however, were eager for more drama and fanned the flames in the group chat, urging him to win over Bae Joo-hyun as soon as possible. These words naturally provoked Bae Joo-hyun's fans, adding fuel to the fire.

Yesterday, Ye Fan asked why they didn't speak up for him, and they said it was karma for flirting with so many girls.

What else could he say?

Honestly, it's not like he flirted with all those girls and toyed with their feelings!

"what?"

"Do a lot of people criticize you?" Bae Joo-hyun frowned and tilted her head in confusion.

"Not that many," Ye Fan shrugged. "A few hundred people, I guess?"

Most of them are in the fan group, they don't understand, anyway, he didn't have time to count the number of people.

"I'm so sorry!"

"How about I post something on social media to put in a good word for you?" Bae Joo-hyun turned around and hugged Ye Fan. She felt really bad that Ye Fan had scolded her because of her.

"No need for that, it won't affect me much. I rarely check the group messages, and I've been subjected to a lot of sarcastic remarks and insults when I posted videos before, so I've toughened up my mentality." Ye Fan kissed her forehead to reassure her.

Let him curse if he wants; he won't even look at it.

Bae Joo-hyun looked up and kissed Ye Fan on the lips.

The next day when Ye Fan arrived at the organization, he was surrounded by his colleagues, all of whom were asking about Bae Joo-beom's vlog and Kim Jong-kook's blog program.

They were stunned when they saw it. Was their colleague going to switch careers to the entertainment industry?!

Wu Yingying, who had previously been thinking of pursuing Ye Fan, squinted and looked Ye Fan up and down. She still felt it was a pity, but she couldn't bring herself to do something like stealing someone else's boyfriend.

"Ye Fan, I remember last year two girls came to the organization to see you and brought you drinks. Could one of them be Pei Zhufa?" Wu Yingying said. She felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at Pei Zhufa in the video, and then she remembered what happened last year when she was pursuing Ye Fan.

Both girls were wearing masks and hats at the time, so it was hard to see them clearly, but they were both petite. Later, she searched for photos of Bae Joo-fa and found that they looked very similar!

"Yes, it's her." Ye Fan nodded. Since she had been guessed, he would obediently admit it.

He just didn't expect that even after more than half a year, Wu Yingying would still remember what happened at the end of last year!

Upon hearing Ye Fan's admission, He Zhonglei raised an eyebrow and asked incredulously, "So, you said you had a girlfriend before, could this girlfriend be her?"

He remembered that Ye Fan had said that she was his girlfriend!

Now they're saying that the girl from last year was Bae Joo-hyun, so—

Could it be that—

Wu Yingying also stared at Ye Fan. If it was true, then she had no reason to lose.

He Zhonglei grabbed Ye Fan's shoulder and shook him violently. He couldn't accept it, he really couldn't accept it!

"Say it now, say it's not true!"

Bae Joo-beol is known as the visual mountain among the fourth generation of female idols in South Korea, so her beauty goes without saying.

Why is it that after all this time, I'm just stuck here working like a slave, while this guy got his hands on a stunningly beautiful female idol in less than a year?!

Why is there such a huge difference between oxen and horses?!

Is it the face?!

Ye Fan quickly intervened to stop He Zhonglei; if he continued shaking him, his brains would be shaken to pieces.

Slapping his forehead to clear the starlight from his eyes, Ye Fan asked suspiciously, "Are you a fan of hers?"

"No, no—" He Zhonglei shook his head.

"Then why are you so agitated?" Ye Fan looked him up and down.

"Nonsense, of course I'm excited! That's Irene! Such a beautiful woman, and you actually managed to win her over! How can I accept this?!" He Zhonglei said, reaching out to touch her again.

"He's just jealous."

"I'm afraid your brother will end up driving a Land Rover," Wu Yingying added from the side.

"Oh~"

Ye Fan turned his head away, "Isn't that—"

"Really? Look me in the eyes!" He Zhonglei bent down and found Ye Fan's gaze again.

With a helpless sigh, Ye Fan said, "Why do you keep asking? You're the one who's going to get hurt."

He Zhonglei's hands fell limply to his sides, and he opened his mouth but could not speak.

Wu Yingying nodded, agreeing that she hadn't lost unjustly.

Ye Fan's words were an admission that the girl from before was Pei Zhufa, and that she was his girlfriend!

"It really is true, you son of a bitch, you deserve to die!" He Zhonglei sighed, looking up. This guy actually managed to snag a beautiful woman without making a sound!

"Ahem, I hope you won't tell anyone about this, don't spread it around. We haven't made it public yet, and she has work to do. I don't want to affect her." Ye Fan slapped He Zhonglei's fist away.

Seriously, why are you clenching your fist?

"Don't worry, we're not the type to gossip," Wu Yingying waved her hand. "Besides, there's no concrete evidence right now, so no one would believe us even if we said anything."

She saw in the comments section yesterday that many people were making guesses.

It's just a little bit of a rumor, but to completely discredit someone, you need evidence.

"I'm even less likely to say it."

After Wu Yingying finished speaking, He Zhonglei chimed in, saying that although he was angry, he wouldn't go around talking about it.

"Hey, how did you do that? How did you manage to win over Bae Joo-hyun so quietly?"

What he was more curious about now was what methods Ye Fan used to get close to Pei Zhufa and even win her over.

Now that we know the truth, it's time for some gossip.

"She's my landlady, that's how we met," Ye Fan said truthfully.

Wu Yingying: ————

He Zhonglei: ————

Seoul is really small, what a coincidence!

"So you're debuting now? You're hanging out with people in the industry, you must know a lot of celebrities by now, right?"

"I definitely won't debut."

"I've gotten to know quite a few celebrities."

I went out with Bae Joo-beom to hang out with Seulgi and the others, and I also went to the gym to work out with Kim Jong-kook. Through them, I got to know a lot of celebrities, and I would chat with some of them occasionally.

One of them even went to China to participate in a festival, and a few months ago he kept asking me for help with Chinese.

By the way, I think her show has already aired. I can watch it when I get home tonight.

They only let me go after I finally agreed to get their autographs when I had time.

As Ye Fan left the organization after get off work, several young girls blocked his way at the entrance. They looked to be in their early twenties and were very young.

Ye Fan was startled and involuntarily took a step back, distancing himself from the girls.

"Teacher Ye, don't panic, it's me."

Ye Fan took a closer look and saw that it was one of his students, while he didn't recognize the others, who he assumed were her friends.

"What are you doing?"

"Why are you blocking my way here? Do you want to beat me up?"

Several girls chuckled upon hearing this, and the student explained with a smile, at which point Ye Fan finally understood.

It was because her friend saw the show and became very interested in her, and after hearing that she was her student, she thought she would come over to see her, ask for an autograph, and take a photo together.

Amidst a barrage of compliments, Ye Fan, still somewhat dazed, signed autographs for the girls and then took a group photo with them.

"So, you're all fans of Irene?" Ye Fan asked, since they came to him after watching Pei Zhufa's vlog.

"Yes, we are fans of Irene."

"Just as I expected—"

"I thought you guys were planning to come over and tell me to stay away from Irene, or throw rotten eggs at me," Ye Fan joked.

"How could that be, teacher? We're all rational fans. Besides, you're so handsome, you and Irene would be a perfect match." Ye Fan's student quickly shook her head, and her friends echoed her sentiments.

If Irene were dating an unattractive man, they would definitely speak out, but someone like Ye Fan, they certainly wouldn't stop her.

After saying goodbye to them and telling them to be careful on the road, Ye Fan got into his car and left. He still felt a little unreal; it seemed like this was the first time he had ever had fans asking for autographs and photos.

Back home, Bae Joo-hyun noticed Ye Fan had a smile on his face and went up to him, asking, "What happened today? You seem to be in a good mood."

"Your fans blocked my door when I left work earlier."

Pei Zhufa's heart skipped a beat, and many guesses flashed through her mind. Could it be that some irrational fans had actually met Ye Fan in person?

She panicked for a moment, but when she saw Ye Fan still smiling, she suppressed her panic.

Ye Fan was in a good mood, so it couldn't be that situation.

"And then, what happened?"

"Don't try to fool me. You're smiling right now, so nothing strange must have happened." Pei Zhufa pointed her small finger, stopping Ye Fan from making up lies about herself.

Ye Fan pursed his lips slightly. Had he made it that obvious?

But now that he'd been found out, Ye Fan had no choice but to tell the truth about what had just happened.

"I never imagined I'd be asked for an autograph and a photo."

Bae Joo-hyun clapped her hands, happy for Ye Fan. Although her fans might be considered to have switched allegiances, they were switching to her boyfriend.

She even said that Ye Fan and she were a perfect match!

That really struck a chord with her. She didn't know them at all; if she had, she would definitely have given them autographed photos and albums!

"That's good news! You've started operating, and there will definitely be more in the future. You'll have to get used to it." Bae Joo-hyun patted Ye Fan on the shoulder with the air of someone who's been there.

"I understand, Irene-senpai!" Ye Fan stood up straight in a funny way and bowed slightly to Bae Joo-hyun.

"You're such a jerk~" Bae Joo-hyun gave him a playful glare.

They call him "senior" but their actions show no respect for him whatsoever.

He gets even more excited every time he finds out it's a senior colleague; he's such a weirdo.

While cooking, Ye Fan chatted with Pei Zhufa about the day's events, telling her that his colleagues had already guessed it, and that he had admitted it today.

Pei Zhufa didn't seem to care. So what if they knew? Almost all her friends knew about her relationship with Ye Fan.

After serving the food, Ye Fan took out his tablet, downloaded the Hunan TV app, logged into his video account, and activated VIP for the first time.

Actually, you can definitely find the resources online, but Ye Fan has a habit when watching videos: he likes to watch the bullet comments. He finds the bullet comments very lively.

"What are you looking at?" Pei Zhufa asked, watching Ye Fan's actions and knowing that he was activating a VIP membership.

"I'm watching a variety show. Do you want to watch it together? There are some people you know on it." Ye Fan continued operating the app. He didn't even need to search; the first show on the variety show page was the one.

As expected, it's a popular and new variety show. Ye Fan glanced at it and thought, "It's already in its fifth season?"

That's really amazing!

Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion, "Is someone I know there?"

Who is it?

"You'll see in a bit," Ye Fan said, keeping the question a secret instead of answering.
