Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 117 A New Rival?

First floor kitchen.

Chen Ran put the washed vegetables away, then suddenly remembered something.

He wiped his hands, took out his phone, and sent messages to Jessica Jung and Kim Yeon-yeon.

He felt he should talk to these two people about what happened at his house.

Do you really think he believed Yoona's claim that she was just passing by?

There must be something fishy going on.

The message was sent, but it remained unread on Kim Yuen-yuen's end, while Jessica Jung replied quickly.

Jessica: What? Yoona went to your house? What was she doing at your house?

Chen Ran glanced back at the second floor and replied: I don't know, she said she just happened to be passing by and is currently visiting the house.

On the other end of the phone, Jessica Jung, who had just finished having dinner with her parents at home, frowned as she read the message.

Why did Yoona suddenly go to Chen Ran's house?

Based on her understanding of Yoona, there was something strange about this.

Yoona and Chen Ran weren't very close, and they didn't have any business collaborations, so why did she suddenly go to his house?

Could it be that my unusual behavior with Jin Ruanruan recently aroused Yoona's suspicion, leading her to follow the clues and find her way to Chen Ran?

After thinking for a moment, Jessica Jung felt that this was the most likely possibility.

"Adu"

The phone then beeped with a message notification.

It was Chen Ran who sent another message.

By the way, Taeyeon has already told Yoona about the house in 25. Should we tell Yoona about the house in 12 too?

Yoona from that year?

what? !!

Even Yoona, who's been married for 25 years, knows about the house?!

Jessica Jung blinked her wide eyes, then got up and began pacing back and forth beside the sofa.

Meanwhile, Krystal Jung came out of her bedroom.

Seeing this, she lowered the sound of closing the door and stood still, secretly observing her unnie's every move.

Jessica Jung's rare display of thoughtfulness suggests that something big is about to happen.

What can make Jessica Jung use her brain...

Krystal Jung thought for a moment.

It seems like all the things happening lately are related to Chen Ran, right?

Could it be that Sulli has made some new move?

Or has a new competitor emerged?

After having dinner with Chen Ran a couple of days ago and getting to know his personality and charm better, Jung Soo-jung had a premonition.

It's highly likely that Sulli won't be the only competitor to our unnie; in fact, there may be more and more.

Jessica Jung paced back and forth for a moment, then picked up her phone and typed a reply.

I think it's best not to let Yoona know for now. She only found out recently and is still processing it. Let's wait and see, and tell her later.

Jessica Jung genuinely felt it was all happening too fast. Kim Yuen-yeon had only known about it for a few days, and now Yoona was being added to the mix—it was all too fast.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that she is worried that once Lin Yoona finds out about the house, she will inevitably have more contact with Chen Ran.

As time goes by, who knows if Yoona will become her competitor?

That younger sister is incredibly clever; she's so bright.

She might not be a match for him.

Moreover, she now has Sulli, whom she doesn't know how to deal with, and Kim Tae-yeon, whom she doesn't know whether she should ignore.

If Yoona were to join in, the situation would become far too complicated.

She had also considered going directly to Chen Ran's house right now.

But by rushing over there, doesn't that indirectly show that she's afraid of Lim Yoona?

But she wasn't afraid; she just didn't want to complicate things.

"Adu"

Chen Ran replied: Okay, got it.

Jessica Jung breathed a slight sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung walked over and sat down next to her.

She glanced at her unnie, picked up the remote control in front of her, and casually asked, "Unnie, who are you chatting with?"

"Hmm? Oh... chatting with Chen Ran. Tell him to take good care of you on set, since you're about to start filming."

o

"oh..."

Krystal Jung responded with a soft "yes," secretly pursing her lips.

My mind is working pretty fast right now.

Why is all my brainpower being used on me?

I'm your sister, why are you using all your brainpower on me? I'm not going to steal your man.

You should use all your limited intelligence on those rivals outside.

Krystal sighed inwardly, then thought for a moment before speaking again, "Unnie, the filming starts next week, don't forget to send a coffee truck to show your support, Sulli and the others said they'd send one."

My unnie isn't very bright, so I can only try to help her more.

Don't let others pull ahead of you in this kind of thing.

Upon hearing this, Jessica Jung blinked her clear eyes twice.

Oh right, she should have sent a coffee truck; she almost forgot about it.

But she stubbornly replied, "I know, do you need to remind me?"

Krystal Jung resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Judging from your clear eyes just now, I knew you must have overlooked this matter.

Feeling a little tired, she sighed again and subtly reminded him, "Sherry also told me that she would come to visit me on set and see Chen Ran oppa while she's at it."

Jessica Jung paused as she jotted down notes about the coffee truck being delivered to the set for the start of filming, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Is Sulli pursuing me that closely?

"Okay, I'll find time to visit you on set."

Krystal Jung nodded in satisfaction, looking like a promising student.

Suddenly, she remembered something else.

"By the way, remember to let me know before you come so I can communicate with the production team in advance."

She didn't want her unnie and Sulli to arrive on the same day, leaving her caught in the middle of their love triangle.

"understood."

Jessica Jung replied, then quickly fell into thought again.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung nodded secretly.

It's good that you're aware of the danger, otherwise, unnie, you might really get your house raided.

Inside the kitchen on the first floor of the villa.

After replying to Jessica Jung's message, Chen Ran saw that Kim Yuen-yuen's message was still unread, so he put down his phone and began to think about Yoona's situation.

Jessica Jung said that Yoona should not know about the house for the time being, and she personally prefers to do so as well.

The reason is also very simple.

In 2012, the fewer people who knew about the concept of time-space connections, the better.

Firstly, he and Yoona are not close enough, and secondly, there is really no need for Yoona to know right now.

The reason Jin Ruanruan was informed before was because the house was connected to Jin Taeyeon, and more importantly, it was something that Jin's father needed to know.

He agreed to let Yoona from 2025 know about the house because he trusted Tae-yeon and Jessica.

Because they trusted Lim Yoona, Chen Ran agreed.

Although it sounds a bit scummy, Chen Ran's level of trust in Jessica Jung and Kim Yuen-yuen is definitely lower than that of Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica.

After all, it's a negative distance relationship.

To be frank, the house only has half a month left to connect, and it's uncertain whether it will be connected again after that.

If the house will never be reconnected, then whether Yoona knew about the house 12 years ago or not is actually not that important.

Of course, Chen Ran definitely hopes that this house can continue to exist and can continue to connect with people from 2025 next month.

As long as he connects with people in 2025, he can still contact Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica, and still see them.

However, the most pressing matter right now is how to fool Lim Yoona.

He shared the same thought as Jessica Jung: that Yoona must have sensed something to suddenly come over so late at night.

of.

Chen Ran pondered for a moment and had a general idea of ​​how to fool Lin Yoona.

Although Lin Yoona is very smart, Chen Ran is not stupid either.

Moreover, he also had Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica, two people who know Yoona very well, by his side.

Through this period of time, he has gained a certain understanding of Yoona's personality.

If Chen Ran were to try and fool Lin Yoona in 2025, he would definitely be far less skilled.

But facing Yoona, who has been with him for 12 years, and with two other little helpers by her side, he was still somewhat confident.

With a general idea in mind, Chen Ran pulled himself together, glanced back at the second floor, smiled slightly, and turned back to continue cooking.

On the second floor, Lin Yoona, who hadn't found anything particularly special, was also thinking about how to deal with Chen Ran and get some useful information from him.

There's no special way; we can only try to find out something through conversation during dinner.

Yoona snapped out of her thoughts and started walking downstairs.

As she reached the kitchen doorway, she asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran turned around and smiled, "No need, Yun'er, you are a guest. How can you let a guest help in the kitchen? Go sit and rest in the living room. It will be ready soon."

Yoona's eyes flickered.

guest...

This is the biggest problem she has with Chen Ran right now.

She wanted to test things out, but the relationship wasn't close enough, which made her a little hesitant.

If Jessica came to Chen Ran's house, Chen Ran definitely wouldn't be so polite.

Even Taeyeon unnie might be a possibility.

However, she couldn't quickly get closer to Chen Ran.

Her long-cultivated sense of propriety makes it difficult for her to quickly and genuinely become close to someone she has only known for a short time.

However, Chen Ran's secrets involve those of Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica Jung, so there's no way she can just sit idly by.

A sense of propriety and a desire to explore were battling within her at that moment.

Never mind, we'll just have to play it by ear later.

She refused to believe it; she couldn't find out any information at all.

A surge of competitive spirit suddenly welled up within her, and Lin Yoona smiled at Chen Ran, saying, "Alright, then I'll go wait in the living room. If you need any help, just call me."

Chen Ran nodded: "Okay."

Yoona turned around and sat down in the living room. She glanced at the kitchen, from which noises occasionally came from, and lowered her eyes to think about how to gather information later.

Nearly half an hour later, Chen Ran's voice came from the kitchen.

"Dinner is ready, Yoona."

"They're here."

Yoona got up and walked to the dining room. Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and smelling the aroma of the food in the air, she subconsciously sniffed and her eyes lit up slightly.

smell good.

I had heard from Jessica before that Chen Ran was a very good cook, and now it seems that it is indeed true.

"Please sit down."

"it is good."

Chen Ran handed the chopsticks to Lin Yoona and sat down in the main seat.

Yoona thanked her and accepted the gift.

"Eat up." Chen Ran took the first bite of shredded potatoes.

"Um."

Yoona nodded and then picked up a piece of stir-fried beef with green peppers.

After chewing twice, its deer-like eyes lit up again.

It tasted even better than she had expected.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

"Mmm, it's delicious. Chen Ran, your cooking is amazing. I wish I had cooking skills as good as yours."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "That's because you don't have time to learn. If you had time to learn, your cooking skills would definitely be excellent."

He knew that Yoona would start learning to cook in a few years, and she knew quite a bit of Chinese cuisine, making her one of the most skilled cooks among the Girls' Generation members.

The best noodle chef.

Im Yoon-ah smiled upon hearing this.

She really doesn't have time to learn how to cook.

After that, the two ate their meal quietly.

Lin Yoona glanced at Chen Ran secretly, preparing to start a probing topic.

Beside him, Chen Ran was also preparing to begin his deception plan.

The only person he had ever fooled before was Jessica Jung.

He fooled her twice, and both times he succeeded.

But Yoona and Jessica Jung are clearly not on the same level.

She's much smarter than Jessica Jung.

I don't know if I can fool them, but I'll give it a try.
